Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 99 Black Water Serpent, Yellow Dragon Challenges to Battle

Inside the venue.

As the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother announced the start of the banquet, a procession of beautiful fairies in gorgeous attire filed in, carrying exquisite trays.

Each of the female immortals held a tray containing various kinds of spiritual fruits.

Although most spiritual fruits are only of the highest grade acquired, they can still be quite valuable if there are enough of them.

Moreover, there are more than twenty kinds of innate spiritual fruits on this tray, which shows how much effort the Eastern King Duke put into this celestial gathering.

As time went by, each seat of a Great Luo Golden Immortal was adorned with hundreds of spiritual fruits.

The last two spiritual fruits presented were particularly extraordinary, even surprising the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The peaches are round and plump, with a wonderful aroma.

Plums, their fruit resembling crimson stamens, exude a fragrant aroma.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, are these top-grade innate spiritual fruits, the Innate Ren Water Peach and the Innate Yellow Plum?"

An elderly man with a white beard and hair, holding a cane, bowed and asked.

This person is named White-browed Immortal, who is a person with innate spiritual root who has already become a Great Golden Immortal in ancient times.

In terms of combat skills, he is not considered particularly powerful among the many Great Luo Golden Immortals, but in terms of knowledge, only a few people, such as Bai Ze, can surpass him in the entire prehistoric world.

He could tell the origin of the two spiritual fruits at a glance. Although he was asking, he was actually just seeking an answer.

Seeing that someone was setting up the stage, the Eastern King was delighted and said with a hint of pride:

"The old immortal's reputation is well-deserved; he is indeed very knowledgeable."

"These last two spiritual fruits are indeed the Primordial Ren Water Peaches and the Yellow Plums."

"The Primordial Water Peaches are of the highest quality innate spiritual root. They are the companion of the Queen Mother of the West. They ripen once every 64,800 years, and nine fruits can be harvested at a time."

"Huang Zhongli is also a top-grade innate spiritual root. I obtained it by chance after the incident on Penglai Island."

"It takes 20,000 years for it to bloom, 20,000 years for it to bear fruit, another 20,000 years for it to mature, and 60,000 years for nine fruits to be harvested."

"Especially the first one or two batches of fruit, which are now as old as heaven and earth, can allow mortals to escape the river of fate and become Great Golden Immortals by eating just one."

"Even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal who consumes one will find their future cultivation much smoother, and may even reach the pinnacle of Grand Luo Golden Immortalhood!"

"Although the Huangzhong plums we brought out this time are not the two batches with the best appearance, they can still increase the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal after consumption."

Upon hearing this, all the Great Luo Golden Immortals showed some interest.

They understood the unspoken meaning behind Dong Wanggong's words.

Want the first two batches of Yellow Plum? Want to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm? Then join the Celestial Court!

Although the knowledge of the Great Immortals present was not as extensive as that of the White-browed Immortal, they understood that what the Eastern King Duke said was true after seeing Huang Zhongli in front of them.

These Huangzhong plums, which were just harvested in recent years, are so miraculous.

If the first batch of Huangzhong plums has not yet been harvested, or if they were harvested a few years ago, then they may indeed be as powerful as Dongwanggong described.

Even if the second batch of ripe Huangzhong plums is slightly less effective, it can still bring about a huge improvement after consumption. While it may not be possible to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, it is likely that one can reach the later stages of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

According to the Eastern King Duke, as long as these Great Luo Golden Immortals choose to join the Celestial Court and add the corresponding conditions, they can exchange them for a Yellow Plum from the first two batches.

Moreover, if the first two batches of Huangzhong plums have such miraculous effects, then will the innate Ren water peach, which is also a top-grade innate spiritual root, have the same effect?

Thinking of this, all the powerful beings looked up at the Queen Mother of the West, their eyes showing even more interest.

Aside from the Three Pure Ones, Chang Xi, and other famous powerful beings in the primordial world, the remaining Great Luo Golden Immortals all had the idea of ​​joining the Celestial Court in exchange for a Yellow Plum.

The other powerful beings could think of this, and the Queen Mother of the West naturally could too. Her expression remained unchanged, but in her heart she cursed the King Father of the East inwardly.

This idiot! He brought this upon himself, and why did he have to drag me down with him?!

Don't you know the principle of not flaunting wealth? You could have just mentioned the effects of Huang Zhongli, why did you have to talk about the effects of the first two batches?

Just because they know the Celestial Court has the Yellow Plum, does that mean they have to join the Celestial Court? Do you really think you're the ruler of the primordial world?

If they join forces with the Temple of the Sun to attack the Celestial Court and seize the Yellow Plum Tree, how will you respond?

The Queen Mother of the West really wanted to kill the King Duke of the East, but fortunately, she never thought he could stay in that position for long.

As a result, she lived in Xikunlun for many years and did not regard the Celestial Court as her place of practice. In addition, she handled things properly and had a good reputation in the prehistoric world. She also had a good relationship with the female immortals.

There's no need to worry too much about the theft of spiritual roots, but all the powerful figures present now know the effects of the first two batches of Huang Zhongli.

It probably won't be long before someone comes knocking on our door asking for a Peach of the Innate Ren Water.

Although there were still many peaches from the first few batches on the Innate Ren Water Peach Tree, she intended to keep them for future breakthroughs and was unwilling to trade them away.

But since things had come to this, there was no use worrying. She could only take it one step at a time. With a sigh, the Queen Mother of the West stopped thinking about it.

Huanglong didn't care about the thoughts of the Queen Mother of the West and the other powerful beings.

Like a few powerful figures, he remained unmoved by the Eastern King's offer of recruitment.

Just kidding. Before long, Di Jun will establish the Demon Clan, discover the Nine Heavens, and use it as a base to build the Heavenly Court, surpassing the Celestial Court.

After the third sermon, the Celestial Court will face purge and its end.

Now that he already knows the fate of the Celestial Court, how could Huanglong possibly be so foolish as to choose to join it?

All he wanted to do now was savor the yellow plum on the table.

It is quite obvious that this yellow plum is far inferior to the one that the Queen Mother of the West traded.

However, Huanglong's current cultivation level is only one step away from the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. After consuming it, he might be able to break through the barrier of the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

In this way, the Queen Mother of the West can save the Yellow Plum for when she breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

But just as Huang Long picked up the Huangzhong plum, preparing to taste it, a figure suddenly stood up and shouted at him:

"Yellow Dragon brat, although we are both of the Scaled Armor Clan, you, as a member of the Temple of the Sun, actually have the audacity to attend the Celestial Court's Hundred Fruits Festival. I simply cannot stand by and watch. Do you have any shame at all?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Long frowned slightly and looked at the speaker.

This person had a snake's head and a human body, wore a long black robe, and his exposed skin was covered with black scales. His triangular eyes coldly stared at Huanglong, and his long, forked tongue protruded from his mouth.

"Blackwater Serpent?"

As a member of the true dragon clan, Huanglong possesses a certain ability to suppress all scaled creatures, and he recognized the other party's true form at a glance.

Huanglong and the Blackwater Serpent clan can be said to be old enemies. At the same time, the Blackwater Serpent clan is also one of the races he dislikes the most.

In ancient times, the Blackwater Serpent was an appendage of the Dragon Clan. Relying on the Dragon Clan's name, it plundered and seized from the prehistoric world, which is how it gained its current strength.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the dragon race, even if the Blackwater Serpents had not disappeared into the river of time, they would have remained just an obscure and insignificant race.

However, at the crucial moment of the great battle between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, the Blackwater Serpent saw that the time was not right and stabbed the Dragon Clan in the back, taking away many precious spiritual treasures from the Dragon Palace.

Because that was a crucial moment in the outbreak of the war between the three races, the Dragon Clan did not have the resources to wipe out the Blackwater Serpent Clan and planned to deal with it later.

As no one expected, that battle shattered the primordial world, causing the dragon race to be burdened with karma and trapped in the four seas, forced to swallow their anger for the time being.

However, the Blackwater Serpent was not satisfied. Taking advantage of the fact that the dragons were burdened with karma and unable to commit murder, it seized more territory in the Western Sea.

At the beginning of the construction of the Temple of the Sun, the Blackwater Serpent clan, under pressure from the Temple of the Sun, chose to surrender without hesitation.

However, once the Celestial Court rose to power, they did not hesitate to surrender to it.

They are nothing but ingrates and opportunists. Huang Long finds such a race extremely repulsive. Now, being publicly insulted by them, he couldn't help but frown and his eyes turned slightly cold.

He doesn't like to cause trouble, and it's true that he prefers to keep a low profile in everything he does.

However, this does not mean that he is not angry when he is insulted to his face.

Moreover, if the Dragon Clan wants to make a comeback, it must clean up the traitors of the past. Obviously, the Blackwater Serpent, a treacherous and opportunistic creature, is a target that needs to be eliminated first.

However, there are many powerful figures here, and it would be too conspicuous to make a move...

Before Huang Long could make a decision, a clear and cold rebuke came from the high platform.

"What? Do I need to report to you, Kurosawa, about the people I invited?"

The Queen Mother of the West stood up from her seat and stared coldly at Kurosawa.

"Your Majesty misunderstands. I simply dislike Huanglong's character, that's all."

"Even with the Empress's invitation, he, as a member of the Temple of the Sun, swaggered in to attend the Hundred Fruits Fairy Gathering. His skin is incredibly thick."

"I think there are quite a few people in the Celestial Court who are dissatisfied with Huanglong's participation in the Hundred Fruits Immortal Gathering. I'm just speaking out for everyone."

Kurosawa glanced around and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Logically speaking, as a member of the Celestial Court, Kurosawa should have felt fear and unease for offending the Queen Mother of the West, but he now appears fearless and emboldened.

Soon, the powerful figures present suddenly realized what was happening and glanced at the Eastern King Duke on the high platform.

If there were someone of higher status than the Queen Mother of the West backing him up, then he naturally wouldn't need to care about the Queen Mother of the West's opinion.

The Queen Mother of the West naturally noticed this as well, and her expression immediately turned somewhat gloomy.

You bastard Dongwanggong, do you really think I'm easy to bully? First you dragged me into this mess, then you exposed the effects of the first batch of top-grade spiritual fruits, making me the target of everyone's criticism.

Now, Heize has been arranged to make things difficult for Fellow Daoist Huanglong. If Huanglong is really bullied here, where will I put my face in the future?

The Queen Mother of the West stepped forward, intending to intervene immediately. At that moment, the King Duke of the East subtly moved to the side, blocking her path, a faint smile on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

Before Dongwanggong could utter any grand words, Huanglong's suppressed anger could be heard from below.

"Your Majesty, this is a feud between my Dragon Clan and the Blackwater Serpent. I will resolve it myself; Your Majesty need not interfere."

Honestly, it would be a better choice to keep this to ourselves until the Hundred Fruits Fairy Gathering is over, and then find an opportunity to deal with Kurosawa.

However, if he chooses to back down at this point, his reputation will suffer, which will be detrimental to his future plans.

However, the outcome of attacking Kurosawa against the Celestial Court was significantly different from the outcome of attacking Kurosawa against the Blackwater Serpent Clan.

If I were to take action against Kurosawa of the Celestial Court, it might ultimately invite intervention from the Eastern King.

However, if he were to take action against the Blackwater Serpent's Black Swamp, then this matter would involve the grudges between the Dragon Clan and the Blackwater Serpent. If handled properly, the Eastern King Duke and other outsiders would not be able to interfere too much.

"I have long disliked your Blackwater Serpent clan. Since you have said that you are also a Scaled Serpent, then let us learn about the grudges from ancient times in front of all the great beings."

"It's a one-on-one fight, where life and death depend on our own abilities. Do you dare?"

Huang Long revealed an angry expression, and a cultivation level of the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal emanated from his body, making him look like an angry young dragon.

At other times, I might hesitate, but now...

impossible!

The task that Dongwang Gonggong gave him was to humiliate Huanglong as much as possible. If he could seriously injure Huanglong, he could gain more benefits.

If Huang Long can be killed on the spot with a legitimate reason, he can also obtain a second batch of Huang Zhongli!

He originally thought that he could seriously injure Huanglong, since Huanglong was invited by the Queen Mother of the West, and finding a legitimate reason to kill him would not be an easy task.

Now, Huanglong himself proposed a duel to the death, resolving this difficult problem directly.

Moreover, the aura emanating from Huanglong was only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while Heize possessed the cultivation of the mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Furthermore, during his years serving in the Celestial Court, he also used his merits to wash away most of his karma.

How could he possibly refuse Huang Long's suggestion?

Kurosawa, fearing that Huanglong might change his mind, quickly provoked him again.

"If you're so capable, what's wrong with giving me your head? But I'm afraid some people can't handle losing, and when things turn out badly, they'll run to someone for help."

As he spoke, Kurosawa glanced at the platform without leaving a trace, the meaning of which was extremely clear.

Seeing that Heize had taken the bait, Huanglong was overjoyed, but his performance on the surface did not falter in the slightest.

His expression grew even angrier. He first bowed to the Queen Mother of the West, and then made a Daoist bow to the group of powerful figures around him.

"I hope that all the great beings present will bear witness that today, my Dragon Clan's Yellow Dragon and the Blackwater Serpent Black Swamp will settle the ancient feud between our two clans here, a feud that will last until death!"

The powerful figures present reacted differently, but all adopted an indifferent attitude, showing a look of watching a good show. They all used spatial folding techniques to clear a space for the two of them.

The Queen Mother of the West, sitting on the high platform, was slightly taken aback. Then, she bit her lip, revealing a look of disappointment and frustration. She sat back down in her chair, closed her eyes to rest, and stopped worrying about the matter.

"This Fellow Daoist Huanglong is quite skilled at acting. I wonder if my reaction will reveal his intentions."

The Queen Mother of the West knew Huanglong's character quite well; how could he possibly do something if he wasn't confident?

Now that all the troubles have been resolved, Huanglong and Heize below stopped talking and simultaneously unleashed their supernatural powers to attack each other.
