Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

East Kunlun, Yuqing Palace.

Yuqing Yuanshi looked at the invitation in his hand with disdain.

This invitation was personally delivered by Yaochi.

However, he didn't want to pay any attention to it.

Even though Haotian and Yaochi have been accepted as disciples by Hongjun, in his eyes they are still just children. What right do they have to be called his fellow disciples?

However, just as Yuqing Yuanshi was about to hand the invitation to Taiyi Zhenren, asking them to attend the banquet on his behalf while he continued his seclusion to comprehend the laws, he suddenly sensed many primordial energies rushing towards the Heavenly Court.

This scene caused Yuqing Yuanshi to frown, circulate his magical power, and let his eyes shine with divine light.

"Strange, why are Patriarch Bodhi and the others all gathered in the Heavenly Court?"

"It's just a simple Peach Banquet, what's the big deal?"

After some deliberation, Yuqing Yuanshi issued a decree summoning his disciples, and then waved his hand, leading them to the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, in Shouyang Mountain, Taiqing Laozi, who was focused on refining elixirs, completely ignored the invitations beside him.

Similarly, when Bodhi Patriarch and others rushed to the Heavenly Court, Taiqing Laozi also showed doubt.

Although they didn't know why Bodhi Patriarch and the others were doing this, they still stood up and, together with Xuandu, rushed to the Heavenly Court.

As for Cundi and Jieyin of Mount Sumeru, how could they possibly refuse when there's an opportunity to profit?

Even without the Bodhi Patriarch and others setting off for the Heavenly Court, they would still have taken their disciples there.

In an instant, cultivators from all over the prehistoric world rushed to the Heavenly Court, making the originally empty Heavenly Court much more lively.

The entire Thirty-Three Heavens, except for the highest Taiqing Heaven, Yuqing Heaven, and Shangqing Heaven, was overcrowded.

Fortunately, Haotian had made preparations in advance, arranging the dragons and some fairy maidens who had become flower spirits in an orderly manner according to the cultivators' cultivation levels.

The Jade Pool Wonderland.

When Haotian saw that Patriarch Bodhi, Lu Ming, Liu Er, and the others had all arrived, his face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, esteemed Primordial Saints, for gracing the Heavenly Court. Seats have been prepared inside; please come in!"

However, before the group could enter, the Three Pure Ones and Zhunti Jieyin, whether by prior arrangement or not, appeared together.

Seeing this, Haotian's attitude remained very good, but it was noticeably colder.

The Three Pure Ones glanced at Haotian, then ignored him, turning to look at Bodhi Patriarch and the others. Taiqing Laozi said calmly:

"Fellow Daoists, you are all in high spirits, having actually taken the time to attend the Peach Banquet!"

Upon hearing this, before Bodhi Patriarch could speak, Six Ears grinned and said:

"What? Is this your territory? Can't we come here?"

Upon hearing Liu Er's words, Yuqing Yuanshi frowned:

"Hmph, what a beast with fur and horns! So vulgar!"

Upon hearing this, the smiles on Lu Ming and Liu Er's faces slowly faded, and their violent aura pressed down on Yu Qing Yuan Shi:

"Yuqing, do you have the guts to repeat what you said before?"

Overwhelmed by the aura of the two Grand Luo Golden Immortals, Yuqing Yuanshi involuntarily took a step back, a look of shock appearing on his face.

Because he sensed from their aura that their cultivation had actually reached the fourth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

What kind of heaven-defying cultivation speed is this?

"Fellow Daoist Yuqing, you went too far with your previous words!"

"If you don't apologize, don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

"It was a calm and collected statement from the Bodhi Patriarch," he said.

As the senior disciple of the Chaos Three Immortal Islands lineage, how could he not stand up when his two junior brothers were insulted?

Not only Bodhi Patriarch, but also Zhen Yuanzi, Styx and others slowly gathered their auras, as if they were about to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing the frozen atmosphere in the arena, Haotian was secretly delighted.

This Yuqing Yuanshi is arrogant and proud, and he even dares to provoke the Chaos Three Immortal Islands lineage. Now he wants to see how Yuqing Yuanshi will get out of this mess.

Upon hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi's expression shifted rapidly.

Apologizing in front of so many people, isn't that like having the dough being stepped on and rubbed constantly?

But if he doesn't apologize, how can he possibly be a match for so many Primordial Saints once he makes a move?

For a moment, Yuqing Yuanshi hesitated, secretly regretting his outspokenness.

Seeing this scene, Taiqing Laozi sighed:

"Fellow Daoists, please don't take offense. My second junior brother is just outspoken; his previous words were truly unintentional!"

"Second Brother, you must know that among all living beings in heaven and earth, there is no distinction between high and low. As long as one sincerely pursues the Dao, any living being can attain enlightenment!"

"Why aren't you apologizing to your two fellow cultivators at once?"

Upon hearing this, Yuqing Yuanshi immediately took the donkey downhill and gave a slight Daoist bow:

"Fellow Daoists, my words just now were unintentional; please forgive me!"

Seeing this, Lu Ming and Liu Er snorted coldly and ignored them.

In fact, if they hadn't received Qin Ming's orders, they would have taught Yuqing Yuanshi a lesson today.

What's wrong with having fur and horns?

Did I eat your magic fruit?

On the other side, seeing that there was no good show to watch, Haotian was slightly disappointed, but then he smiled and tried to smooth things over:

"Please come in, esteemed sages!"

After everyone was seated, Haotian announced in a loud voice:

"Thank you to all the sages and fellow Daoists for attending the Peach Banquet prepared by the Heavenly Court!"

As he spoke, Haotian clapped his hands.

Immediately, a group of fairies carried spiritual fruits and wines and placed them on various tables.

The best, of course, is the desk of a group of sages.

Each table is set with three top-quality peaches that have ripened from the mother tree.

In addition, there are many spiritual fruits formed from top-grade innate spiritual roots and spiritual wine brewed over millions of years.

It can be said that Haotian and Yaochi have spent a fortune on this Peach Banquet.

The key issue is that there's no income and no output.

Of course, it's not without its advantages.

At least, those rogue cultivators from the prehistoric era and human cultivators, seeing how generous Haotian was, had already begun to consider joining the Heavenly Court.

"Besides holding the Peach Banquet, I have another announcement to make!"

"As fellow cultivators know, the Heavenly Court is in dire need of rebuilding after the Lich War!"

"We, the Queen Mother and I, though unworthy, have been favored by the Dao Ancestor and have been appointed as the new rulers of the Heavenly Court."

"However, we are outnumbered and outmatched, while the Heavenly Court has officials who are responsible for patrolling the Heavenly Court and punishing evil."

"We are afraid that we will not do well and disappoint the Dao Ancestor."

"On this grand occasion, the Queen Mother and I would like to ask you all: is there anyone willing to join the Heavenly Court?"

"I hereby guarantee that as long as you join the Heavenly Court, I will not hesitate to offer you generous rewards!"

"The Peach Banquet of today will be held once every ten thousand years in the future."

"At the same time, as long as you make meritorious contributions, you can also receive various rewards."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators in the room began to discuss among themselves.

Some were dismissive, some were tempted, and some remained unmoved.

In an instant, all sorts of people in the room displayed their various expressions.

After an unknown amount of time, an old man with a youthful face and white hair, exuding sharp sword energy and holding a whisk, spoke first:

"Thank you for your high regard, Your Majesty. I, Venus, am willing to join the Heavenly Court!"

As Venus made his statement, more than three hundred star gods and numerous independent cultivators stepped forward and bowed in the direction of the Lingxiao Palace.

This situation greatly pleased Haotian and Yaochi:

"Please rise immediately, everyone!"

"It is truly an honor for me and the Queen Mother that you are willing to join the Heavenly Court."

"This is a superior-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Star Banner. I bestow it upon you today as a gift!"

"Furthermore, after the grand event concludes, you will be able to enter the Immortal Transformation Pool to cultivate and enhance your innate talents."
