This is so dishonest!

Chapter 325 The White Dragon of Destiny Appears, the Immortal Emperor Easily Dissolves into the Calamity Qi [6k]

Since the goal is to create a celestial realm within a dream, it is natural to seek the help of a Grand Luo Immortal of the Dream Path.

Wuyou was very interested in Xuanqing's ideas.

They exchanged opinions on the construction of the celestial realm and discussed the relevant details.

Finally, the topic returned to the underworld.

"Of the thirty-six positions of Earth Sovereign you set up, twelve have already been found to be destined for them. Guang Chengzi and the others are currently training them, and they should be able to report to the Netherworld soon."

"Huh? So fast?"

Xuan Qing was surprised. He subconsciously tried to calculate with his fingers, but suddenly realized that the heavenly secrets were in chaos and he could not calculate the result.

"Yes, it's such a coincidence that we found so many kindred spirits all at once."

Meng Wuyou sighed, "Could it be that our Netherworld has developed too quickly, to the point that gods have emerged in all the heavens and myriad realms in response?"

The underworld has undergone numerous transformations and is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth.

It's perfectly reasonable to have a constant stream of geniuses.

"It still feels too coincidental." Xuan Qing calculated and calculated, but couldn't figure out any drawbacks.

Although things went more smoothly than he expected, judging from the current outcome, it should be a good thing.

"Could it be that someone's scheme just happened to clash with our Underworld's plan?" Xuan Qing made a wild guess, and even he himself felt that the reason was a bit far-fetched.

But precisely because it's so outrageous, it's even more credible.

"I wonder which great philanthropist did this good deed. It won't be long before all thirty-six Earth Emperors are gathered."

Xuan Qing smiled and said, "After the great calamity is over, once we find out who is really behind it all, we should give them a reward."

“Our underworld needs sponsors who do good deeds anonymously.”

Meng Wuyou smiled too.

At this moment, Xuanqing suddenly sensed that two beams of azure light flew out from the void, one heading towards Kunlun Mountain and the other rushing towards the Netherworld.

"Bluebird?"

A bluebird descended from the clouds, circled for a while before the gates of hell, and then presented a golden invitation.

"Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor, please review the Queen Mother's letter."

Xuanqing reached out and took it.

"What is this?" Meng Wuyou asked curiously.

Xuanqing snapped his fingers, and another gold invitation to Kunlun Mountain landed in Meng Wuyou's hands.

The two opened the letter at the same time and were immediately delighted: "Emperor Donghua has been resurrected?"

The gist of the golden invitation is: In order to celebrate the resurrection of the Immortal Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West plans to hold a grand Peach Banquet and cordially invites all immortals to attend.

"Is this Peach Banquet being held at this time really to celebrate the resurrection of Donghua?"

Meng Wuyou was somewhat puzzled. She looked at the invitation in her hand: "Are you sure this isn't some scheme by Hongjun, using this as an excuse to get everyone together?"

"possible."

Xuanqing laughed and said, "But who cares? Let's just go and eat at the banquet."

Xuanqing directly transmitted his voice to Taishang, Yuchen, and Minghe.

After all, the invitation to Kunlun Mountain was for the Three Pure Ones.

The one who came to the Netherworld was the Ghost Emperor.

Xuanqing should naturally be called [Yuanshi Tianzun], while [Youming Guidi] will be played by Styx.

"I wonder if they've reached an agreement yet."

~~~~
Qilin Sacred Cliff.

Amidst the polite greetings of the assembled deities, the First Emperor and the Supreme Lord departed from this place.

"Alas, I never expected the Qilin Clan to be so sensible and agree so readily!" Zu Long said with considerable regret.

Their departure went exceptionally smoothly.

After explaining their purpose, the Qilin clan unanimously passed the alliance resolution.

"Isn't this normal?"

Tai Shang said, "They just suffered a genocidal attack from the ferocious beast race, and now they must be thinking about how to take revenge."

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to have some other thoughts, perhaps?" Taishang looked deeply at Zulong and asked tentatively.

"Huh? Of course not, of course not."

Zu Long chuckled awkwardly and quickly laughed it off, "I just feel that things are going too smoothly, and I don't feel at ease."

If possible, Zulong would certainly prefer that the First Qilin wasn't so clever, so that he could take the opportunity to suppress them and prepare for future plans.

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking.

Phoenix Terrace in the South.

The Phoenix Clan warmly welcomed Fuxi and the Styx.

They also specially invited two deities from Taiwei to watch the song and dance performance.

"Fellow Daoists of Taiwei, you've come to the right place to form an alliance with our Phoenix Clan!"

The elders of the Phoenix Clan all said, "Our Phoenix Clan is bright and noble, never afraid of sacrifice, and loves peace the most."

"For the sake of all living beings in the primordial world, even if it means our own death and the extinction of our race, we have no choice but to do so!"

This spirit of facing death without fear deeply moved Styx, who exclaimed, "I had only ever heard that the Phoenix Clan was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, and that they were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of all living beings."

"Seeing it today, I know the rumors are true."

"I believe that with the help of all of you fellow Daoists, we will surely be able to completely annihilate the ferocious beast race!"

Seeing Styx's genuine emotions, the elders of the Phoenix Clan immediately declared, "Everything is for the peace of the primordial world!"

Styx solemnly replied, "All for the peace of the primordial world!"

The negotiations went very smoothly, with Styx engaging in enthusiastic exchanges with the Phoenix Clan elders throughout.

Fuxi barely said anything, focusing solely on watching the song and dance performance.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't it beautiful? Our clan leader personally rehearsed it."

Elder Baihe laughed and said, "Back when the Demon King of the Demon Realm came to our Tiannan, he had to perform two dances before he left!"

After watching a performance, Styx, who had a pleasant conversation with the elders, then took his leave.

"Fellow Daoist, we shall meet again in three thousand years!"

See you in three thousand years!

After they left Tiannan, Minghe received a message from Xuanqing.

The Immortal Emperor has been resurrected?

Styx calculated that the Peach Banquet would not last long and would not interfere with the subsequent All Races Assembly.

So he happily decided to go to the immortal realm to freeload.

"Fellow Daoist, we have some matters to attend to. You should return to Taiwei first."

"it is good."

Fuxi and the Styx parted ways thereafter.

East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Nuwa and Yuanhuang encountered an unexpected deity.

"You are the fourth progenitor of the dragon race—the White Dragon?"

"Exactly!"

Inside the Temple of Destiny, a stunningly beautiful and ethereal goddess stood silently.

She stood on a cloud, her long, silvery-white hair cascading down like a waterfall. Her amber-colored vertical pupils resembled melted gold, with two pearly-white dragon scales adorning the corners of her eyes. When her gaze shifted, it seemed as if a river of stars flowed within it.

The goddess's temperament was like a secluded orchid in a valley, her long dress swaying in the wind, fluttering like swirling snowflakes in a gentle breeze.

Bai Long looked at the two guests and said softly with a smile, "You two have come at an inopportune time. My eldest brother, second brother, and third sister are all out on business. I will take care of the alliance."

Nuwa and Yuanhuang exchanged a glance and nodded slightly: "Very well!"

Changliu Mountain.

The Dao bodies of Jieyin and Zhunti, namely the White Emperor Shaohao, stand side by side.

They watched the moonlight recede into the distance and lingered on the mountaintop for a long time.

"They're finally gone." Jieyin breathed a sigh of relief.

He said with a puzzled look, "This fellow practitioner of Taiyin seems to have some suspicions about our Changliu Mountain. Could it be that she has figured something out?"

"no."

[Bai Di Shao Hao] explained: "A deity in Taiwei Yuan gave a guess, and it is estimated that the Daoist friend of Taiyin came with this guess to find the answer and wanted to test it."

The White Emperor showed the meeting minutes that the original deity had transmitted back to the Guide.

Jieyin was immediately dumbfounded: "That's too much of a connection."

To be honest, if he didn't know that Shao Hao was his junior brother's alias, he would also have felt that there must be some connection between this and Tai Hao.

Jieyin shook his head and changed into the appearance of a gambling stone immortal.

He looked at Bai Di Shao Hao and said, "Fellow Daoist, please keep an eye on Changliu Mountain for now. I'm going to the Immortal Realm."

"Row!"

In the eastern land, there is the Ten Directions Divine Temple.

After seeing Taiyi off, Daoist Yuchen said goodbye to Meng Zhang and headed directly to the Immortal Realm.

What he didn't know was that after Taiyi left, he changed into immortal attire, changed direction, and headed towards the Immortal Realm.

~~~~
The Immortal Path leads to the Nine Heavens, the Immortal Realm.

The Peach Banquet was held as scheduled.

Immortals from all the heavens and myriad realms entered the Celestial Court via the Ascension Platform.

Several newly arrived immortals, upon arriving in the Immortal Realm, inquired about the situation from the welcoming envoy: "Fellow Daoist, this is our first time in the Immortal Court. We are unfamiliar with the rules. May we ask who has been invited to this year's Peach Banquet?"

The guide shook his head: "Fellow Daoists, you've asked the wrong person. I don't know the rules of this year's Peach Banquet either."

The newly ascended immortals asked in bewilderment, "Could it be that you are also a newcomer, fellow Daoist?"

"That's not the case. It's just that this is the first time the Peach Banquet in the Celestial Realm has been held, and there are no precedents to refer to."

The guide said, "If you want to know the details, you'll have to ask the Bluebird Fairy."

At this moment, the Azure Bird Fairy was passing by on auspicious clouds, and the group of immortals immediately began to talk loudly.

They would glance at the bluebird from time to time, as if afraid the bird hadn't noticed.

The bluebird landed on the clouds and said, "Fellow Daoists, please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Qingniao, we pay our respects!"

Several immortals stepped forward and asked who the great immortals present were.

The Bluebird Fairy replied, "This is a grand gathering in our celestial realm, so naturally we must invite all the immortals, great and small, to come."

"The guide immortal of the Earth Immortal lineage, the Central Primordial Spirit Huang Lao, is Ginseng Fruit; the figurine immortal of the Human Immortal lineage, the Eastern Azure Spirit Primordial Elder, is Feng Lixi."

"The Golden Immortal lineage's [Western Bright Spirit Emperor] Stone Gambling Immortal - Zhunti Daoist (Jieyin); the Mysterious Immortal lineage's [Northern Five Spirit Mysterious Elder] Barbecue Immortal - Nanhua Zhenren."

"And there's also the [Southern Danling True Elder] car accident. Cough cough, it's the War Chariot Immortal, one of the Five Elders of our Immortal Realm."

The bluebird continued, "In addition, there is the Welfare Immortal of the God Immortal lineage; the Netherworld Emperor of the Ghost Immortal lineage; and the Three Pure Ones of the Heavenly Immortal lineage."

"The rogue cultivators of the Ten Continents, Three Islands, and West Kunlun are all former subordinates of the Immortal Emperor and the Queen Mother, and belong to the lineage of True Immortals."

"The Heavenly Emperor Qiankun Immortal, the Earthly Emperor Yin Yang Immortal, and the Water Emperor Turtle and Snake Immortal are all immortals that no Grand Luo Immortal can do without."

After Qingniao finished introducing the great immortals of the celestial realm one by one, the newly promoted immortals realized just how powerful the celestial realm was.

In an instant, they were all beaming with pride, their hearts filled with boundless joy, as if they were sharing in the glory.

"By the way, will our two founding ancestors of the Immortal Path come?" the immortals pressed on, asking as the opportunity presented itself.

The bluebird replied, "That's hard to say."

"The whereabouts of the Immortal Ancestor are elusive. Even if he were to come, our cultivation is insufficient to meet him."

"That's true." The immortals sighed softly.

"If we could meet the Dao Ancestor, we would have no regrets in this life."

The guide laughed and said, "Alright, everyone, come with me to the Jade Terrace Immortal Palace. Maybe we'll actually meet the Dao Ancestor there!"

Upon entering the venue, one is greeted by thousands of palaces adorned with pearls and countless pavilions and towers.

Fragrant incense swirls, auspicious clouds abound, the jade terrace is adorned with colorful ribbons, and the precious pavilion is enveloped in mist. Phoenixes and luan birds soar and dance, their forms ethereal, while golden flowers and jade calyxes float and sink. A five-colored table is painted with gold, and a thousand-flowered jade basin gleams.

An endless array of delicacies to behold, and an inexhaustible supply of exquisite wines to savor.

A moment later, the dragon banners and phoenix carriages shone with auspicious light, the precious banners and pennants fluttered with auspicious air, the celestial music and mystical songs were melodious, and the jade flutes and pipes resounded loudly.

A celestial official shouted:
"His Majesty has arrived!"

Amidst the eager anticipation of the immortals, the Queen Mother of the West and Emperor Donghua appeared in the main hall.

On the right side of the imperial throne, the Queen Mother of the West, also wearing an imperial crown, exuded grace and elegance. Her calm and gentle gaze made the assembled immortals feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. On the left side of the imperial throne, Emperor Donghua, also wearing an imperial crown, smiled amiably, without the slightest hint of oppression.

Before long, the golden bell rang and the jade chime sounded, and a celestial official came to report.

"All the immortals have arrived!"

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, a celestial carriage and a nine-colored canopy of jewels appeared; mysterious songs and wondrous music were played, and countless divine verses were chanted; precious flowers were scattered, and true fragrance was exhaled.

The Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Three Officials, the Three Pure Ones, and other immortals arrived almost simultaneously.

"We pay our respects to the Celestial Emperor and the Queen Mother!"

The immortals bowed in respect.

"My lords, there's no need for such formalities. Please take your seats!"

Emperor Donghua was in an extremely good mood after his resurrection.

"Congratulations on the return of the Immortal Emperor. This is a small gift prepared by the Three Pure Ones."

Xuan Qing took out a jade plate, on which were arranged twelve crystal-clear immortal apricots, each inscribed with the laws of wind and thunder.

During his travels, Daoist Yu Chen found a primordial spiritual root—the Immortal Apricot Tree.

Although this tree is not a top-grade spiritual root, it is still a decent one. The immortal apricots it produces naturally contain the two great Daos of wind and thunder, making them truly wondrous.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoists Sanqing!" The smile on Donghua Emperor's face became even brighter.

When he ascended the throne, the Three Pure Ones first expressed their support and presented him with a crown, imperial robes, and imperial seal.

Even after he died, it was the Supreme Daoist who went to great lengths to bring him back to life.

Now that he has been resurrected and returned, the Three Pure Ones have once again offered their blessings and gifts.

The thought of the Three Pure Ones' support for him touched Donghua Dijun.

He ordered the celestial official to accept the gift.

When the immortals saw that the Three Pure Ones had presented their congratulatory gifts, they all generously donated money as well.

Taiyi and Dijun presented Donghua with two goldfish lucky bags.

"Immortal Emperor, this is a lucky charm that our Welfare Immortal has recently developed—the Koi Lucky Bag."

"Wearing it on your body for a long time will bring you good luck!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua immediately became interested, "It's also effective against Great Luo Golden Immortals?"

"Of course!"

Di Jun declared confidently, "This was tailor-made for the Immortal Emperor!"

"Good, good, good!"

Emperor Donghua said "good" three times in a row; he really needed this lucky bag.

After all, I was really unlucky.

Otherwise, in the interstellar war, how come everyone else was seriously injured, but he was the only one who was completely wiped out?
"Immortal Emperor, this is the most valuable treasure in the gambling stone market—the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Immortal Stone!"

Jieyin took out one of his treasured possessions and gave it to Donghua.

"This item has a powerful effect: it can transform into a body that is completely identical to the original body. It is a wonderful treasure for avoiding death and prolonging life!"

"And me, and me!"

The Water Official Emperor Zhenwu stepped forward and handed over a gourd: "This is the Turtle-Snake Coiling Pill that I refined myself. Eating it can save your life!"

Donghua looked at Zhenwu in surprise: "Fellow Daoist, did you refine this yourself?"

"Of course!"

Zhenwu laughed loudly, "Didn't our Celestial Court open its Scripture Pavilion? I studied the alchemical texts of Fellow Daoist Taishang and gained a lot."

"This Turtle-Snake Coiling Pill is the latest achievement."

"I see!" Upon hearing that the pills were made according to the Supreme Lord's alchemical text, Emperor Donghua was immediately relieved.

Products from Taishang are guaranteed to be of the highest quality.

"These are the spices we use at our barbecue stall," Kunpeng said with a smile, handing Donghua a jar of special spices.

Emperor Donghua asked, "What are the effects of this item?"

Kunpeng said, "If you sprinkle it on the corpse, you can keep the corpse fresh."

"Even if the body is eroded and the corpse is contaminated by the Great Dao of the Supreme Being, it can be quickly restored by sprinkling these spices on it!"

After hearing this, Donghua felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"We Earth Immortals don't have anything special, so how about I give the Immortal Emperor a down-to-earth gift?"

As he spoke, the ginseng fruit tree took out a blank tombstone.

"If the Immortal Emperor died on the earth, then this stele will be of use."

"What is its function?" Donghua asked curiously.

"This monument can form a large, secret tomb on the spot, where you can be buried."

"Immortal Emperor, these are the seeds of my Netherworld Spider Lily and the water of the Yellow Springs."

Styx sent a box of spider lily seeds and a bottle of Yellow Spring water to Donghua: "If the Immortal Emperor encounters another life-or-death crisis, he can swallow these seeds with Yellow Spring water."

"If I drink it, will I be able to reincarnate in the underworld?" Donghua asked.

"No."

Styx said, "Drink this, and after you die, your body will be covered with bright red spider lilies, so you can die with some dignity."

Is this respectable?
After thinking about it, Emperor Donghua finally accepted the gift.

It's a product of the underworld after all; what if we could discover some profound secrets about life and death through research?

"Fellow Daoist, I have nothing of value, so I'll give you a figurine instead."

Nuwa gifted Donghua Dijun a small-scale life-size figurine.

"After the Immortal Emperor establishes a connection with this figurine, this one can take his place in death!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua finally smiled; the gift was finally normal.

"Of course, there is one drawback to note: this figure must be kept in good condition."

Nuwa warned, "If this figurine is destroyed prematurely, you will have to die in its place."

"???" Emperor Donghua's eyes widened.

WTF?

This substitute for death is actually bidirectional?

Emperor Donghua suddenly felt he didn't want it anymore.

If this is related to myself, wouldn't that be adding a fatal flaw to my life?
At this moment, Xuanqing smiled and said, "This thing can actually be used by the enemy as well."

These words immediately enlightened Donghua.

That's right, it's best used on the enemy!

If you don't like someone, just associate them with that person and then crush the figurine!

"Fellow Daoist is truly a great talent!"

This isn't a scapegoat figure, it's a prank figure!
Donghua accepted the gift with satisfaction.

Nuwa also received inspiration.

[Using it this way seems to be the correct way to use it!]

"This is my gift—a golden escape chariot, it's incredibly fast!"

Xihe exclaimed excitedly, "As long as the Celestial Emperor possesses it, he can become the next God of Chariots!"

"This is my gift."

"And I!"

"Immortal Emperor, you will surely like this gift."

The immortals all sincerely presented their congratulatory gifts.

Most of them are things that can save your life.

With these things, even an Immortal Emperor could die a dozen times over. We refuse to believe that an Immortal Emperor could still fail in the upcoming calamity of ferocious beasts!

After all, this is the Celestial Emperor chosen by everyone, so he can't just die in a major calamity.

Otherwise, who will take the blame for them later?
The casual manner of the powerful immortals left the lesser immortals somewhat bewildered.

"Is this how we in the Celestial Court always give gifts?"

"No need to be shy at all?"

"This is too direct!"

The little immortals couldn't understand why the Heavenly Venerables and Masters were sending things that could save their lives and bring them good fortune, and why the Immortal Emperor was so happy to accept them.

Could it be that the Celestial Emperor is so unlucky that he is easily dissolved in the calamity energy?

The fairies won't get an answer to this now.

But everyone kept this in mind.

This incident shows that there are no taboos in the Celestial Court.

Even on such a solemn occasion, the immortals were very easygoing and didn't follow many rules.

The atmosphere is quite nice.

"I have a bell here that I wish to present to the Immortal Emperor!"

Boom! !

Boundless demonic energy gathered outside the South Heavenly Gate.

Within the clouds, shadowy figures loomed, and banners fluttered in the wind.

Rahu led all the demon kings of the heavens to the celestial realm.

"Demon Ancestor Rahu!"

The immortals suddenly stood up.

The smile vanished from Donghua Dijun's face, and he looked out at the South Heavenly Gate with a stern expression.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, it seems you weren't invited to the Peach Banquet of my Immortal Realm?"

Luo Hou laughed and said, "Having heard of Fellow Daoist Donghua's resurrection, I came here specifically to offer my congratulations. Does the Immortal Realm not welcome me?"

Yin and Yang, Qian and Kun, and the Reversal all stepped forward and arrived outside the South Heavenly Gate, looking at Rahu with wary expressions.

"Fellow Daoist, are you here to attend the meeting sincerely, or to cause trouble?"

Having just survived a life-or-death battle, they didn't believe Rahu had any good intentions.

Faced with the immortals' doubts, Rahu shook his head: "Fellow Daoists, what do you mean by this? Am I, Rahu, a great demon king who destroys things whenever I want?"

“Don’t impose your rebellious acts on me.”

Rahu said righteously and solemnly, "I, Rahu, have always acted with integrity and uprightness. When I say I'm here to offer my congratulations, I mean it."

Having said that, he waved his right hand, and the auspicious clouds transformed into a golden bell.

"This is a primordial spiritual treasure, the Jingyun Bell!"

"Well, do you believe my purpose now?" Rahu looked at the three immortals with arrogance.

As for how this bell came to be?

That goes without saying, it was stolen!
It is taken from Hongjun and used for the path of immortality.

Very reasonable!

Sure enough, when Qiankun and the others saw the bell, they seemed to recognize it, and their lips twitched slightly.

They brought dirty things as gifts, and then claimed they weren't there to cause trouble?
"Fellow Daoist has come from afar; how could my Celestial Court not welcome you?"

At this moment, a faint Daoist voice echoed from the void.

A Taoist priest holding a bamboo staff appeared before Rahu.

"Daozu!"

The immortals' expressions shifted slightly.

Hongjun smiled and looked at Luo Hou: "Fellow Daoist, how about you come inside with me?"

Luo Hou laughed heartily: "Old Taoist, you're really straightforward!"

He even deliberately struck the Jingyun Bell.

The clear sound of the bell echoed in all directions.

"How about it? Isn't this gift nice?" Luo Hou asked with a smile.

Hongjun glanced at it and nodded slightly: "It's a fine treasure!"
