Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 492 Daojun Mountain Banquet

Looking at the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua, who now truly possessed the air of an empress compared to Yang Chan, who still retained some girlishness back then, Daojun felt a mixture of relief and emotion.

"It's been a long time, Yang Chan. I wonder how the scenery on Mount Hua is these days?"

“That would be wonderful. Brother Guangyi, if you have any free time, you are welcome to come to Mount Hua. Yang Chan will definitely host a banquet for you.”

With a smile on her face, Yang Chan bowed once more to the Dao Lord in front of her.

Three hundred years ago, Chenxiang earned the Jade Emperor's permission to release her from the Black Cloud Cave at the foot of Mount Hua by doing the immeasurable merit of eliminating the demonic energy of the Northern Luzhou Demon Cave. At this time, she also fully understood how much effort and thought her brother and the Guangyi brother in front of her had put in for her.

After that, they reconciled and Yang Chan even returned to Meishan to personally apologize to her brothers there.

Of course, if it weren't for Daojun and his brother, she truly wouldn't know how things would have unfolded. Perhaps she would have truly been separated from her husband and child forever, instead of what happened today.

Her husband has now ascended to heaven in the Heavenly Court and become a celestial official. Her son's filial piety moved heaven and earth, and he was appointed as the Great God of Exorcism.

Now that their family is reunited, it's all thanks to the man in front of her and her brother. It's a pity that these two kept it from her back then, making her truly believe that these two no longer cared about their years of friendship in order to uphold the heavenly rules.

Over the years, the Third Holy Mother has grown a lot, and her elder brother Guangyi has become her child's teacher, making them even closer.

The Third Holy Mother was somewhat relieved at this moment. Back then, when Daojun came to visit her at Black Cloud Cave, although she was distressed, she ultimately chose to believe in the man before her and asked him to take care of her child.

If I say something too harsh, I'm afraid I'll hurt Brother Guangyi's feelings.
Erlang Shen watched this scene with satisfaction. His brother Guangyi was also his own brother. When the Third Holy Mother was in trouble, he had asked his brother for help, which was a bit difficult for him to ask. However, his brother readily agreed and even took his nephew as his disciple.

You should know that other gods might also disapprove of this matter, but none of them would stand against the Heavenly Laws to help their family deal with this mess. Only the one in front of us, along with the Clean Altar Messenger at the time, took the initiative to get involved and help them.

"My dear brother, I wonder if your apricot wine from the mountain is ready yet? I've been missing it quite a bit!"

"Brother Yang, rest assured, since all the brothers and Sister Yang Chan are here, there's plenty of apricot wine from Daojun Mountain. Brothers, Sister Yang Chan, please come in~"

"Please, please~"

As everyone entered together, the Celestial Hound lagged behind. He looked up at Daojun with his big, dark eyes full of expectation, his tail swishing rapidly.

Daojun nodded slightly, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, and personally brought it to the mouth of Xiaotian Dog, chuckling softly:
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will naturally do what I promised you. Inside is a marrow jade bead made from the bones of the Golden-Winged Roc. Be careful when you play with it."

"Woof! Thank you, Daoist Master!"

The Celestial Hound's eyes lit up immediately, its tail swung incredibly fast, and it snatched the emerald jade bottle in its mouth, happily following the Meishan group ahead.

Daojun watched this scene with a smile. Perhaps because he loved cats and dogs in his previous life, he also loved these little guys very much in this life. Of course, this Howling Celestial Dog was probably older than him, but that did not stop him from liking this white greyhound.

With the arrival of Meishan's group, the immortals gathered in twos and threes in the courtyard, chatting amongst themselves.

In this courtyard now, Venus, Lü Dongbin and the other eight immortals, Nezha, the four celestial masters of the Tongming Palace, the four dragon kings of the seas, and various star lords are all present, creating a lively atmosphere. As for the Barefoot Immortal, the Three Star Gods of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, and others, the Daoist Lord had invited them one by one, but they had all gone to Yaochi to meet the Queen Mother of the West, so the Daoist Lord had no choice but to give up.

"Master!!!"

Daojun calculated in his mind that all the immortals he had invited to this banquet had arrived without exception. However, Daojun did not return to the courtyard but remained waiting at the entrance.

He could sense a very familiar aura rapidly approaching Daojun Mountain.

Before long, Daojun saw a ray of golden light streak across the night sky; it was the divine power "Golden Light Across the Earth" that he had personally taught him.

Soon, the golden light streaked across the sky and landed in front of the Dao Lord, revealing a heroic and extraordinary figure carrying a divine axe on his back.

As soon as the figure appeared, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Daojun in greeting.

"Master, Chenxiang is late, please forgive me."

Daojun chuckled and shook his head, helping Chenxiang up and patting Chenxiang's shoulder with satisfaction.

"It's good that you've come. It's good that you've come. I can see that your cultivation has improved again during this period. You must have worked hard during this time. You are not arrogant or impatient, which is very good."

Daojun could now understand the joy of teaching disciples. Besides, although Chenxiang was sometimes mischievous, he always respected his master, practiced diligently, and had good talent, so he didn't need Daojun to urge him too much.

Over the years, he had never taken on a disciple. Although he only agreed to take on Chenxiang this time because of his elder brother Yang, he was actually quite satisfied with it.

The demon-slaying god, already renowned throughout the three realms, revealed a shy smile, somewhat embarrassed, on his usually resolute young face upon hearing his master's praise, like a handsome and refined country boy.

If the demons who died by this axe were to see this, they would probably be utterly astonished.

"Come on, this banquet is waiting for you. Follow me later. These people are your seniors, so don't forget to be polite."

As Daojun's only disciple, Chenxiang knew that his every word and action represented his master, so he always valued etiquette, and today was no exception.

"Yes, please rest assured, Master."

Daojun nodded with a smile and led Niu Yi into the courtyard.

The next morning, after the banquet had ended and all the immortals and gods had returned to heaven, Daojun Mountain returned to its former tranquility. At this time, in the incense space of Daojun Palace...

In the three-story pavilion, Daojun was gathering with the Meishan group who had not yet left. Daojun sat by the window, looking down at the Third Holy Mother and Chenxiang sitting together with a smile on his face. Erlang Shen opposite him was also watching this scene, seemingly very pleased.

Daojun turned around, about to say something to Yang Jian, but his true spirit suddenly trembled, and a scene slowly unfolded before him like a scroll.
