Chapter 823: Battle between East and West
With Taiyi Zhenren leading the way, Ao Jinxiu did not encounter much resistance when entering the Heavenly Palace.

As soon as he entered the Heavenly Palace, he could feel the rich spiritual energy filling the surroundings, which made Ao Jinxiu feel extremely comfortable.

Looking around, he saw clouds and mist rising all around, auspicious aura rolling, and a thousand-foot-high divine rainbow hanging down from the sky, like a thousand golden bridges, welcoming visitors from all directions.

On both sides of the thirty-three jade steps are jade pillars with coiled dragons. The dragon energy in them is condensed, just like a real dragon. Ao Jinxiu, who had relaxed a little, couldn't help but tense up all over, and dragon scales could be vaguely seen under his clothes.

"Oh my, this is the Heavenly Palace! How gorgeous!"

Taiyi Zhenren came to her side by coincidence, just in time to block the impact of the breath, and took Ao Jinxiu to his own position.

As he walked, he said cheerfully, "We are lucky. We are very close to each other, one in front and one behind. You don't have to worry about someone bullying you where I can't see you!"

As he said this, he asked Ao Jinxiu to sit in front of a jade table, and then he sat in front of her. His fat body effectively blocked most of the curious gazes from the people around.

When the banquet was held, peaches were presented by the goddesses. The peaches that landed in front of Taiyi Zhenren were one half red and half green, and three turquoise green. The surfaces of the peaches were glowing with rosy light, which was very gorgeous.

In front of Ao Jinxiu were many spiritual fruits, fairy fruits, and a round green peach as big as a duck egg. Before she touched it, she saw layers of golden ripples emerging from the surface of the peach and spreading outwards.

'The ripples generated by the peaches are actually the result of the condensation of pure spiritual charm.'

Ao Jinxiu was secretly shocked and carefully picked it up and swallowed it.

The peach was strange. As soon as the skin was broken, the spiritual charm inside immediately turned into a trickle of juice that flowed into Ao Jinxiu's mouth. It circulated throughout the body, eliminating waste, nourishing the body, and cleansing the meridians, making its aura even more sacred. Faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard all around.

Fortunately, there are many similar strange phenomena around. If such a scene happened in other places, it would definitely attract attention.

Of course, it is also possible that Taiyi Zhenren, who was eating and drinking like crazy but showed no change in front of Ao Jinxiu, was more eye-catching.

Upon seeing this, the Emperor of Heaven and Queen Mother above sent people to send a few more peaches to Taiyi Zhenren, which made many people secretly envious. However, when they found out that Taiyi was a disciple of Kunlun and a direct descendant of Yuanshi, they fell silent again.

However, not all the immortals who came to the banquet came to celebrate the birthday sincerely.

Some people remained silent, while others naturally spoke up and scolded Taiyi Zhenren, saying that he had no etiquette, did not understand the rules, and had violated social norms.

When Taiyi Zhenren was suddenly called, his eyes widened and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

However, some people who knew the inside story could tell that the other party was making indirect accusations, using Taiyi's incident to allude to the goddess Yunhua who was captured some time ago.

Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven could not speak directly and remained silent. However, Immortal Wuliang started to scold because the people who were accused were from the Kunlun sect. He said that the master did not care, so why was he, an outsider, talking nonsense?
However, this action was seized upon by some cultivators from the Western Lingshan Mountain, who directly pointed out the matter of the Goddess Yunhua, saying that she had violated the Heavenly Rules by secretly having children with a mortal. Logically, she should have been punished long ago, but she had been brought back to the Heavenly Palace for quite some time, but not a word was mentioned about it.

And now the Yao Chi Peach Banquet is being held again, and more peaches are being given to Taiyi Zhenren. Immortal Wuliang even spoke up for him, wondering whether the Kunlun lineage and the Heavenly Emperor lineage have reached a consensus and intend to take the matter of Goddess Yunhua lightly and make a big deal out of a small matter.

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed. Although there were similar ideas in this, it was obvious that saying it directly at her birthday banquet showed no mercy to her, the mistress of the Heavenly Palace. The ten golden crows, who were her descendants, were also enraged and stepped forward one after another, with blazing light spreading around.

"Namo Amitabha!"

As the Buddhist chanting sounded, a monk from Lingshan stepped forward, and a three-foot-long glazed Buddha light shone from his eyes, illuminating the surroundings, even outshining the sunlight emitted by the ten golden crows.

At the same time, bursts of Sanskrit sounds rang out, and the power of wishes rose all around, combining with the clear light emitting from the cultivator's body to form a light gas. From a distance, it looked a bit like the auspicious clouds of immortals. The difference was that the auspicious clouds on top of the immortals were holding up the three flowers and five qi, while this cultivator was holding up a piece of glazed pure land.

"What a magical power! It's a pity that it's not the right way, but some unorthodox ways that mislead people!"

Seeing this, Wuliang Immortal above looked at the many immortal monks who were lost in thought and vaguely corroded by the Buddha's light. He snorted coldly, raised his hand and dropped a ray of green light, which brushed across the bodies of the immortals. As a cool breeze flowed, they all woke up.

When the immortals looked at the Lingshan monks again, their eyes were filled with obvious fear and disgust.

"Good! Good! I want to teach you all the wonderful Buddhist methods. Why would Wuliang Xianwen stop me?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand again, and a tremendous pressure emanated from him, pressing down on everyone's minds, making them feel as if they were being crushed by a mountain, unable to move. Only by recalling the wonderful Buddhist methods from before could they feel a little peace.

However, this move irritated the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming. This disciple of Jiejiao is the representative of the Heavenly Palace today.

The people who were most bewitched by Buddhism before were the disciples of Jiejiao. Now they were provoked again, and they were greatly humiliated and naturally furious.

He slammed the table violently, and clear rays of light surged and hovered above his head. At the same time, a pair of golden whips flew up like dragons, emitting boundless murderous aura, withstanding the pressure and making many people wake up again.

Unlike the previous action taken by Immortal Wuliang, this time it was Brother Jie Jiao who took action. In addition, many of the immortals who woke up this time knew that they had lost face before, so they all took action to cooperate.

For a moment, colorful immortal lights surged, making Ao Jinxiu frown. In her eyes, the aura of some of the Jiejiao immortals was not as pure as that of some eel warriors, shad military advisors, and mandarin fish ministers in the Dragon Palace.

"Is this kind of existence also a legitimate immortal?"

Ao Jinxiu looked forward, and Taiyi Zhenren seemed to have just realized what had happened. He took two steps back and whispered to her: "I don't know what happened now. I may not be able to protect you later. You hold this and be careful."

As he spoke, a long piece of azure blue silk fell into Ao Jinxiu's hands.

"This treasure is called Taiyi Dingshui Ling. I refined it by imitating the magic weapon given by my mentor. I gave up the ability to attack and kill, and the defense is quite good. If a fight breaks out later, you can use this thing to protect yourself and hide to the side!"

As soon as Taiyi Zhenren finished speaking, the Buddha's light over there became brighter again. Kunlun could no longer sit still and began to cooperate with Jiejiao to suppress the cultivators of Lingshan in the Western Regions.

In their view, their daily fights with Jiejiao were all duels in the East, and Lingshan in the West was the loser in the past. If they wanted to come back and get a piece of the pie, there was no door, let alone windows.
