Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Zi Ling's address of "Master" drew everyone's attention back to Huang Long.

The girl following Houtu Niangniang actually called Huanglong "Master".

Ignoring her image, the girl took off running towards Huanglong.

She ran up to him, hugged Huang Long's arm tightly, and said in a coquettish tone, "Master, Zi Ling missed you so much!"

Huang Long looked at Zi Ling with a helpless smile on his face.

He reached out and patted Zi Ling's head, saying gently, "Zi Ling, why did you come with the Goddess Houtu?"

Zi Ling said with a grin, "The Empress said she was coming to the Heavenly Court to attend the Peach Banquet, and she brought me along to broaden my horizons?"

Huanglong looked at Houtu Niangniang in front of him, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Ziling has caused you trouble."

Houtu smiled silently, "It's alright, I like this girl very much."

Then, Houtu moved to the jade table at the far right and sat down!

Zi Ling then turned to look at Xuan Du beside her and sweetly called out, "Second Master!"

Xuan Du grinned, clearly pleased with the title, and the pure Daoist aura emanating from his body vanished without a trace.

Inside the hall, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Zhenyuan Daxian, and even the Queen Mother of the Azure Heaven all wore strange expressions.

They didn't expect that the young girl wasn't very skilled or had a strong background.

Yet he was able to accompany the Goddess Houtu to the Peach Banquet, and was addressed as Lord Huanglong and Lord Xuandu.

The seven young figures seated in the Qilin Clan changed their expressions drastically and trembled slightly when they saw Zi Ling.

Although they had been away from Kunlun for several huiyuan, their fear of Ziling had not diminished in the slightest.

Zi Ling, however, did not notice them; she was excitedly talking to Huang Long.

Huang Long listened and nodded, his smile gentle and indulgent.

After Houtu took her seat, Haotian stood up.

The celestial music in the hall ceased, the falling flowers stopped, and the golden lotus gradually dissipated, turning into specks of golden light that merged into the ground.

Everyone fell silent, their eyes fixed on Haotian.

Those gazes held awe, curiosity, scrutiny, and doubt.

But regardless of their gazes, all eyes were now focused on Haotian, awaiting the Heavenly Emperor's next words.

Haotian's voice echoed in the hall, carrying the unique aura of the Heavenly Dao, yet also revealing a hint of humility: "The Heavenly Court is shattered, and Dijun has perished. I and Yaochi Dao Ancestor have been appointed as the Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother, responsible for restoring order to the primordial world and bringing blessings to all living beings."

"Today, as the Heavenly Court is newly established, we cordially invite many powerful beings and disciples of sages from the primordial world to attend the Peach Banquet, to jointly celebrate the new Heavenly Court and discuss the grand plans for the primordial world."

As soon as the words were spoken, the Great Dao roared, as if heaven and earth were responding to Haotian's declaration.

Above the Heavenly Court, countless rays of seven-colored light shone, like magnificent rainbows stretching across the sky, illuminating the entire Heavenly Court and filling the primordial world with auspicious clouds.

Everyone cupped their hands in greeting and said, "Congratulations to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother! May the Heavenly Court be forever secure and the primordial world prosperous!"

The voices were perfectly synchronized, like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the hall.

Then, Haotian raised his hand and waved.

Outside the hall, pairs of flower fairies carried platters of spiritual fruits and jugs of fine wine as they filed in.

They wore colorful floral dresses, some pink like peonies, some white like magnolias, some golden like chrysanthemums, some bright red like plum blossoms... Each color represented a flower.

Their steps were light, like colorful butterflies fluttering, leaving a faint fragrance in their wake.

At the very top of each plate of spiritual fruits was a golden peach.

The peach was no bigger than a bowl, yet it emitted a faint golden glow.

A sweet fragrance filled the entire hall, drawing the attention of everyone present.

Huang Long glanced at them and secretly counted the peaches Haotian had taken out; there were already more than thirty-six.

He understood.

These thirty-six or more peaches were clearly not all produced in this one cycle; some of them were stockpiled by Haotian over several cycles.

The peaches were placed in the very center of each jade table, surrounded by other spiritual fruits, which, though not as precious as the peaches, were still extremely valuable.

There were also pots of celestial wine, with wisps of spiritual energy rising from the spouts. The energy condensed into mist, swirling around the spouts like tiny clouds.

Haotian raised his cup: "The Peach Banquet shall now begin!"

At this moment, the Flower Fairy, accompanied by pairs of stunningly beautiful fairies, danced gracefully in the center of the Lingxiao Palace.

Her dance was graceful and her figure was beautiful, like a blooming peony, breathtakingly beautiful.

The fairies behind her, some holding flower baskets, scattered petals into the air; some holding ribbons, which danced in the air like rainbows; and some holding musical instruments, played melodious tunes to accompany the dance.

Huanglong glanced at Donghua Dijun not far away and knew that these must have been the work of the former ruler of the Celestial Court.

Emperor Donghua also noticed Huanglong's gaze, raised the jade cup in his hand, and offered it to Huanglong from afar.

Huang Long smiled and raised his glass in return.

The group began to savor the peaches and spiritual fruits, toasting each other and chatting merrily.

Zi Ling, who was standing to the side, picked up a peach and took a bite.

The flesh of the peach is soft and juicy, melting in your mouth, and its sweet and refreshing taste makes Zi Ling squint her eyes.

He swallowed a peach in just a few bites.

Seeing this, Huang Long handed over his peach.

"Master, aren't you going to eat it?" Zi Ling asked, looking at the peach.

"I've already eaten these peaches; they didn't have much effect on me. You eat them!"

Zi Ling nodded, took the peach, and this time, savored it in small bites.

At this moment, Xuandu also presented his peach to Ziling, saying, "Little Ziling, good luck, help the Second Master eat this one too."

"Thank you... thank you, Second Master!" Zi Ling said to Xuan Du with her mouth stuffed full.

Seeing this, Huanglong nodded to Xuandu and glanced around the hall. Everyone was immersed in the effects of the peaches of immortality. Some were savoring them with their eyes closed, while others were extremely excited.

The Antarctic Immortal sipped the peach with a smile, nodding repeatedly. His aura was slowly rising, clearly indicating that this peach was of great help to his path to immortality!

Disciples of the sages, such as Guang Chengzi and Duobao, were also carefully tasting and comprehending the great Dao within, their bodies radiating Daoist aura, clearly indicating that they had gained a great deal.

Although the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan were once the overlords of the primordial world, none of them possessed innate top-grade spiritual roots.

Now, compared to the era of the Three Clans, this peach is even more precious.

After Zhen Yuanzi, Styx, and other quasi-saints ate the peaches of immortality, they experienced no changes whatsoever. These peaches could only replenish and enhance the Great Dao!

Houtu Niangniang did not eat the peaches; she simply placed them on the jade table, closed her eyes to rest, and seemed uninterested in them.

Huang Long withdrew his gaze, picked up the jade pot, poured himself a cup of immortal wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

He smacked his lips, looking disgusted; it was far inferior to what he brewed himself.
