Chapter 330: Heavenly Palace Banquet
Hong Zun withdrew his gaze unnoticeably and poured himself a glass of fine wine.
The fine liquor flows like a stream, falling into the jade cup inlaid with silk, and colorful light can be seen flowing, accompanied by a clear fragrance.
Even in this Nine-Layered Heaven Palace, only a very small number of gods are qualified to enjoy it. Although the quality is not as good as the spiritual liquid refined by the Supreme Taoist Sect, it still tastes very good.
The young man who got Daoyan Daqianlu was destined to be unable to hide.
Among the several immortals who have been "reborn", half of them have a close relationship with him, and many of them have grudges against him like the Cang Yun Demon King.
After all, it is a rare object created by the Dao of 'Evolution' in this world. How can you hold it in your hands without paying a price?
As for the Taoist master Jiang Lin, since the four methods were passed down to him by himself, no one knew his background. In addition, he had enslaved gods to cover for him, so it was not difficult for him to hide.
or……
"The grand event in the Heavenly Palace is about to begin. Let's go there now." Xu Xing suddenly said.
When Hong Zun heard this, some of the thoughts that had just arisen in his mind also dissipated.
Forget it, let’s see if that young man can achieve that goal himself.
"it is good."
Then, without any movement, the two figures faded and disappeared from the lotus pond and jade table. The various spiritual fruits, immortal treasures, and nectars on the table also disappeared.
The jade tower hangs high above the auspicious clouds, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond move gently, and the clouds roll.
As if nothing happened.
……
……
Since the last era came to the present era of the prosperity of Shintoism, the former blessed land of the immortal sect has become the present Nine-Layered Heaven Palace.
The gods control the heavens and the earth, are in charge of all things, and hold all kinds of power.
However, the heaven and earth have order, and those revered gods have long lifespans. After seeing the vicissitudes of life in the long years, they will eventually feel bored.
Therefore, there are often gatherings in the Heavenly Palace.
This time, the Tianzun personally held a ceremony to invite all the gods to participate, so the scale was extraordinary.
But in the Huangji Lingxiao Palace, there was a starry sky as the roof, auspicious clouds guarding it, and pillars lined up in the palace.
The starlight streamed down like a stream, drooping in the auspicious clouds, casting out colorful auras. The pillars of the palace were wrapped with golden-scaled dragons shining in the sun, with red beards like fire, breathing in air and exhaling clouds, reflecting the light of the sky.
At the top of the hall is a Taoist platform woven with legal principles and made up of many small realms.
Sitting on top of it is a majestic figure whose height is unknown and whose power is immeasurable.
The face is blurred, and the eyes show the rotation of the four seasons, the change of solar terms and other natural changes. The light in the eyes reflects the yin and yang, the four images, and the ten directions of the universe.
Heavenly Lord!
He lowered his eyes, as if thinking.
The gods coming from all directions entered the hall and bowed to the leader, but the Heavenly Lord did not respond.
Silently, two simple Taoist platforms appeared out of thin air, which were out of place with this magnificent and sacred temple.
But no matter whether it was the great gods who came from all directions, the priests and generals who were on duty outside the temple, or even the Heavenly Lord who was sitting high on the platform, no one noticed anything.
"This is quite a grand occasion."
The voice sounded and spread out, and a Taoist in black and white robes appeared on a simple Taoist platform.
"It's not much worse than when the Cang Clan was at its peak."
"It's not surprising that gods need majesty to decorate themselves." Xu Xing appeared on another Taoist platform.
His eyes fell on the gods feasting and chatting below, and the scenes in the hall, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Nine-Layered Heaven Palace, a grand gathering of the Heavenly Lords...
Although it seems a bit specious, if there is another monkey causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, everything will make sense.
The scene that once existed only in myths is now witnessed in reality.
He glanced at the gods in the temple.
The gods who can come to this temple are of high rank, and most of them don't even need incense to sustain themselves. Those gods enslaved by the Taoist master Jiang Lin don't even have the qualifications to get close.
However, although they are all gods of extremely high ranks, there are only a few who are pure in body, full of virtue, and not tainted by any evil deeds. Most of them are a mixture of merits and demerits.
Of course, there are very few gods who can be defined as "evil and false", only one or two.
"The great era of immortality is about to begin. Brother, how many gods do you think can survive here?" Hong Zun suddenly asked.
When asking this question, there is naturally no need to use methods such as derivation and calculation.
Xu Xing retracted his gaze: "About one or two out of ten."
After all, it was a time of great change, and the human world was already in chaos. Looking at the state of these gods now...
This is already an exaggeration.
"What do fellow Taoists think?"
"My opinion...is similar to Brother Dao's."
Just as the two were talking, a ray of cold moonlight shone into the hall and landed on a Taoist platform on the right side of Tianzun, very close to the front.
The conversations among the many gods in the hall came to an abrupt halt, and even the Heavenly Venerable, who had been inactive before, looked over.
As the moonlight faded, a woman dressed in a moon-condensed gauze appeared. She seemed to be born from the spirit of heaven and earth. Her skin was as white as autumn water and her eyes were filled with sadness. I felt pity for her.
Taiyin Star Lord.
She did not care about the gazes of the gods, but just bowed to the Lord of Heaven who was sitting high above.
"You are welcome, Mr. Xing." Wen Lang said softly, "Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Heavenly Lord." Taiyin Star Lord replied softly.
He sat down immediately with a very upright posture, but the trace of sadness between his brows had not disappeared, causing many gods to glance at him frequently.
"Taiyin's manifestation is not inferior to Hedao." Xu Xing commented.
As the deity in charge of the lunar planet in this world, he is naturally an existence of the same level as the Tao.
"Yeah." Hong Zun nodded slightly.
Taiyin Star Lord is considered the most beautiful deity in this world. After all, this is one of her powers. Unfortunately, she is facing Brother Dao, and this will never be the first thing Brother Dao considers.
"She should be aware of the great change of the times."
Unlike ordinary gods, wherever the moonlight shines is her domain, so she realized this early on.
pity……
“It’s useless even if I realize it.”
Although her authority is strong, the restrictions she faces are also severe.
It’s not profound.
For a Hedao, or a Hedao whose majority of combat power comes from authority, it would be good enough if he could preserve himself in the subsequent great changes in the world. It would be extremely difficult for him to change.
Soon, all the gods from all sides arrived.
In addition to the Moon God who attracted the attention of all gods, the incarnation of the Golden Crow also attracted the gods to look at Him because he wanted to shine in all directions.
Not to mention that the high-profile appearance frightened the Golden Scale Sun Dragon wrapped around the temple pillar.
The most important thing is that Jinwu's ranking is also very high, almost the same as Taiyin Star Lord.
Moreover, as soon as he arrived, he stared at the Taiyin Star Lord opposite him with a burning gaze. The strong emotions in his eyes were not concealed at all, causing her to frown frequently.
In fact, when the gods saw this situation, they all felt a little dissatisfied, but no one dared to speak out to stop it.
After all, that was the Golden Crow who transformed into yang and patrolled the sky. Even without that authority, he was still a true being at the Hedao level.
How dare the gods offend?
The Tianzun did not care about these trivial matters. When he saw all the gods gathered, he asked the celestial official beside him to come forward and announce the start of the ceremony.
The first thing was to recite a long blessing, the content of which was not particularly surprising.
It probably lists the various great merits of the Heavenly Venerable, expresses gratitude to the gods for their hard work, and specially holds this ceremony, etc...
During this period, the Golden Crow was still staring straight at the opposite side, and did not bow his head and listen attentively like the gods.
However, Tianzun still didn't say anything, just glanced at him and stopped paying attention.
After all, these were materials that had been reserved by a fellow Taoist, so it would be inappropriate for him to kill him now.
Let's wait until the end of the next era.
Until the lengthy blessing was finished.
One by one, goddesses and celestial concubines with peerless appearance, wearing shawls and holding fairy scarves, entered the palace. Each of them was a talented and beautiful woman who had once been a stunning beauty in the world. After death, they were deified and given a position.
As they danced, the solemn atmosphere just now dissipated, and the gods feasted and laughed, talking about the interesting things they had seen over the years.
However, he would still look in the direction of Jinwu and Taiyin from time to time.
As for the Cangyun Mountains, are there monsters occupying one side?
Such a trivial matter is not even worthy of being mentioned in this Dharma Assembly.
Hong Zun looked at it for a while, then raised his hand and took a colorful glass plate. On the plate were pills made from the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, piled up to a peak.
Crystal clear, with a refreshing fragrance.
"Brother Tao."
"Ok?"
"Do you think my little sister and fellow Daoist Jianzun will notice this place?"
"Maybe, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Xu Xing glanced at him and said, "You're the one who brought me here."
"..."
…………
At this moment in the world.
A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Then I saw the waterfall flowing down, reflecting colorful rainbow lights amid the roar.
Next to the waterfall is a small house, made of earth and wood, but without any traces of axe or chisel, as if it had "grown" out of the ground.
A figure was sitting in mid-air in front of the hut, with white gauze covering his eyes, looking much smaller than an ordinary person.
It is Yuanjun.
The surging water vapor came to her, but as if blocked by some invisible force, not a drop of it fell on her.
There was no fairy mist surging, nor was there any flow of Tao essence, only the long and gentle sound of exhalation.
After a long while, Yuanjun seemed to become a little bigger before falling from the air.
"Whoo~"
She took a deep breath and carefully felt her condition.
"It will take some time, but it will be soon..."
The repulsive force of the Taixuan Realm is truly extraordinary. Although it does not carry any lethal properties, the impact it has on oneself will require a lot of time to recuperate.
I don’t know if Sword Master has any realization.
Thinking of this, Yuanjun turned and walked towards the hut.
Just taking a few steps forward, it was like entering another space. The rumbling sound of the waterfall disappeared and was isolated outside.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, the sound of the rushing waterfall is quite loud, so it is natural to set up a soundproofing method.
"I don't know where my brother and elder brother have been these days..."
While thinking, she pushed open the door in front of her.
Although this small house looks small from the outside, it is actually quite spacious and tidy inside.
But he used the method of space folding.
After walking inside and passing two corridors, some constantly changing lights were reflected.
In front of a screen, a little girl less than one meter tall and with a delicate figure was holding a game controller and staring intently at the screen in front of her - Yue Ling.
There is also a soundproof formation next to him.
The game console was something she had bought and put away some time ago, and the soundproofing array was designed to prevent the sound of the game from being heard by others.
As if she had noticed something, she glanced to her side.
When she saw who was coming, she paused, dropped the controller and stood up.
"Master Yuanjun!"
Because it is a stand-alone game, there is no need to worry about whether you lose or not.
Yue Ling's beautiful red eyes looked eagerly at Yuan Jun, then she looked down.
"It's okay, just have your fun." Yuanjun said.
"Oh."
Yue Ling nodded obediently, but still watched Yuan Jun go away before sitting down again.
But after picking up the handle and looking at the screen in front of her, she didn't turn it on again.
A trace of confusion and discomfort appeared on the little face.
How come Lord Yuanjun seems to have recovered better than me...?
……
……
Yuanjun didn't know what Yue Ling was thinking at this time.
She had arrived in a quiet room.
Bie Xue Ning, who was sitting quietly with her eyes closed, noticed someone approaching, slowly opened her eyes and looked at her.
"..." After a moment of silence, "It looks like you've recovered well."
"Not bad." Yuan Jun walked forward and sat down opposite her. "What have you gained during this period of time?"
“There has been some progress in cultivation, but in other aspects…” Bie Xue Ning shook her head slightly.
Any progress?
Yuanjun's heart was slightly moved: "Could it be that you have reached the level of Brother Dao?"
"Not yet, but still a little short."
She was in seclusion when she was expelled from the Taixuan Realm.
Therefore, after coming to this world, the reason why he stayed here with Yuanjun was not only for the purpose of taking care of him, but also to sort out his own experiences in seclusion.
At the same time, he also tried to see if he could think of other ways to eliminate the repulsive force of the Taixuan Realm.
It’s just that I did gain something from sorting out my experiences during retreat, but the other thing... the result was not satisfactory.
The connection provided by the Taixuan Realm was being eroded and becoming weaker every moment by Xu Xing, but he had no idea how to eliminate the repulsive force of the Taixuan Realm.
"If it's impossible, there's no need to force it." Yuanjun said.
“…I know this, of course.”
at this time.
"Master, Lord Yuanjun."
Following the sound, I saw a small figure standing at the door of the quiet room.
It was Yue Ling who walked in with a plate of cut fruits.
She walked quickly to the two of them, put down the fruit plate in her hand, and looked at Yuanjun again.
Obviously, she didn't give up.
Just now after she sat down again, she thought more and more that something was wrong and felt very uneasy, which led to this situation.
Yuan Jun knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Don't look at me. I have indeed recovered better than you."
Yue Ling was shocked. She didn't expect that her thoughts were so simple that they were seen through by Lord Yuanjun.
Bie Xuening: "..."
"roll!"
"Hey! Master, I..."
"If you don't get out of here, I'll confiscate your game console."
Yue Ling paused, looked at Yuan Jun a few more times, then walked out dejectedly.
"Your sword spirit is still so interesting." Yuanjun said with a smile.
Bie Xue Ning did not answer.
Perhaps, there is still not enough time for reflection... (End of this chapter)
