The six sages each ascended their high platforms and thrones, and all the great powers of the primordial world, ancient giants, and celestial gods took their seats.

Layers of jade mats were arranged, ethereal mist swirled around them, and the fragrance of jade permeated the heavens. The Jade Pool Wonderland was in a state of great prosperity and peace, with all sounds hushed except for the gentle strains of celestial music.

All eyes in the room were focused on the main seat in the center, where the Queen Mother of the West stood, her robes flowing with rosy clouds, surrounded by golden light, her demeanor dignified and graceful, her expression humble and serene.

Li Bai, the only strategist and master of secret arts in Yaochi, had already prepared a speech for Yaochi!

"Dear Sages and Senior Brothers, fellow Daoists of the Three Realms, and great beings of the Primordial World, we are gathered here today at Yaochi to attend the Peach Banquet. Thank you all for your presence."

Since the end of the ancient war between witches and demons, the primordial world has undergone a change of landscape. The old Heavenly Court was destroyed, the order of heaven and earth was broken, and the beings of the three realms were scattered and chaos arose.

Out of compassion for all living beings, Dao Ancestor Hongjun re-established the order of heaven and earth, rebuilt the Heavenly Court, and maintained peace and stability throughout the world.

My senior brother Haotian and I served the Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace in the past, listening to the profound sounds of the Great Dao. We were deeply grateful for the Dao Ancestor's great favor, which led to the issuance of a decree and the entrustment of important responsibilities.

Senior Brother Haotian governs all the gods of the Three Realms and rules the order of heaven and earth; I have been appointed as the Great Heavenly Venerable who governs all the immortals and is in charge of the principles and discipline of the immortal path.

Suddenly burdened with a great responsibility to heaven and earth, I am filled with trepidation. My cultivation is shallow and my experience insufficient. I do not know how to rectify the immortal path, appease all immortals, and live up to the great trust placed in me by the Dao Ancestor.

Therefore, I have long intended to hold a grand Peach Banquet to invite all the saints of the primordial world and great powers from all directions. I earnestly request my fellow disciples to generously offer their guidance and point out the way forward.

Originally, we intended to hold a banquet and gather early, but unfortunately, the precious Ren Shui Pan Peach, bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, had not yet reached its full maturity and could only postpone the ceremony.

As time flows on, nine thousand years have passed, and the peaches have finally ripened, just in time and by a fortunate coincidence.

Therefore, today we are holding a grand celestial banquet at the Jade Pool, preparing celestial fruits and fine wines. This simple feast is offered with the hope that you will all be understanding, and that we may all savor these celestial delicacies and discuss the Great Dao together.

Yaochi spoke with utmost humility and modesty, showing no arrogance for her position as the Great Heavenly Venerable, nor any display of Heavenly Court majesty. Every word was sincere, and every action was respectful.

His words conveyed gratitude to the Daoist patriarch, reverence for the sages, and courtesy to all heroes. He was measured in his actions and gentle in his demeanor, showing no trace of arrogance or haughtiness.

On the high platform, the six sages all nodded slightly upon hearing this, their expressions gentle.

Below, Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng, Styx, Leize, and other powerful beings from the primordial world nodded secretly, feeling very pleased with the sight.

Of course, these words were specially designed by Li Bai. Yaochi only needed to memorize the script. Now, Li Bai also had the responsibility of drafting the secret technique.

Li Bai also earnestly reminded Yaochi that he had fulfilled his responsibility in the secret arts: the mouth is the gateway to fortune and misfortune, and words are the root of honor and disgrace. Li Bai would certainly not make such a basic mistake!

At this moment, everyone highly approves of Yaochi's performance.

When Haotian Yaochi first met the immortals and saints of the Three Realms, his first priority was to give face to the Dao Ancestor, and also to see what these two Heavenly Emperors were really like!

This is a place with little reputation, but Li Bai, having anticipated Haotian's intention to cause trouble, laid the groundwork for Yaochi's character in advance, which was an opportunity to accumulate reputation.

As the saying goes, comparing people is a recipe for disaster, and comparing goods is a recipe for disaster. Li Bai had prepared a speech for Yaochi in advance and was about to begin!

This caused Haotian to frown slightly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, his expression was solemn as he pondered something. Li Taibai naturally noticed this, as he wasn't entirely sure that things would turn out this way.

However, Li Bai knew that the fuse for the Investiture of the Gods had to be lit; it was essential. Haotian controlled all the gods, and if he didn't seize this opportunity to cause some trouble, his authority would not be established.

At this moment, everyone's assessment of Yaochi is that although Yaochi holds the position of Great Heavenly Venerable, she does not act arrogantly because of her status as Dao Ancestor. She knows how to respect sages, treat heroes with courtesy, and abide by the hierarchy. She is by no means a person who is arrogant because of her position.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were calm, Yaochi immediately ordered in a gentle voice, "Bring forth the immortal peaches."

Once the order was given, the fairies of Yaochi performed their duties with light steps, holding jade platters and offering celestial fruits in turn.

The first peaches presented to the six sages were the Ren-water peaches.

This fruit is formed from innate divine roots, and its creation is unparalleled. It is of the same grade as the Yellow Plum of Kunlun Mountain, and both belong to the top innate spiritual roots and treasures of the primordial world.

It takes 30,000 years for it to sprout branches, 30,000 years for it to bloom, and 30,000 years for it to bear fruit. It takes nine thousand years for it to mature and be ready to be consumed.

The universe has a fixed number of nine, which is the ultimate number. Within the entire Jade Pool Peach Garden, the number of Ren Water Peaches has remained constant for 100,000 years, with only nine remaining and no more being produced.

The six coins were presented to the altars of six sages: Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti. Of the remaining three coins, one was eaten by Venus, and the other two were kept as reserves.

Then, countless celestial maidens acted in unison, presenting the nine-thousand-year-old ripe peaches to the powerful beings and celestial deities. The peaches were fragrant, the spiritual energy was abundant, and the aroma was refreshing.

Yaochi spoke again, her tone humble and apologetic.

"Fellow Daoists, the number of Ren Water Peaches of Immortality in Heaven and Earth is limited, with nine being the maximum. This fixed number is difficult to defy, so we can only offer them first to the Primordial Saint to express our reverence. There are none left now, which is truly a last resort. We hope you will all understand and forgive us."

Although the nine-thousand-year-old peaches are not as profoundly cultivated or mysteriously imbued as the Ren-water peaches, they have still absorbed the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual energy of the Jade Pool, brimming with celestial wisdom and abundant spiritual energy. They can be served as a refreshing treat to quench thirst and to slightly express the Jade Pool's hospitality.

As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful beings from the primordial world below all bowed in response, and no one showed the slightest displeasure.

"It is only right and proper for the Virgin Mary to observe the rites and honor the holy ones, and to maintain the proper order of hierarchy."

"It is the natural order of heaven and earth that sages govern the primordial great path and enjoy the offerings of innate treasures; we are convinced of this."

"The Lady of Yaochi is well-versed in the rules and acts fairly, which is admirable."

No one asked any further questions. It was normal for the person to eat the remaining three peaches themselves; there couldn't possibly be tens of thousands of peaches!

If you give a peach to a sage of Ren water, no one can choose or handle it. If you choose, do you want to be on the same level as the sage?

Yaochi's humble, fair, courteous, and strategic approach to life has earned her the genuine recognition of all beings!

In an instant, wisps of invisible fortune gathered from all directions, slowly merging into the Jade Pool Wonderland.

At this moment, Yaochi was overjoyed. Li Taibai had arranged it perfectly. At today's Peach Banquet, she had truly landed for the first time, and her reputation soared.

In addition, the Xihe Treasure Vault contained many spiritual items last time, including a Ren Water Peach and a Fusang Fruit, which brought water and fire into balance.

Using it directly to brew wine naturally pleased everyone.

For a moment, the banquet was peaceful and harmonious. The immortals picked up the peaches on the table and savored the spiritual fruit. Jade pots poured out the eternal nectar, and the mellow fragrance of the immortal wine filled the air. Everyone raised their cups to drink, chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

"Excellent wine!"

"Truly, it's the finest nectar!"

"The laws of water and fire converge in this nectar, a truly profound and rare delicacy!"

".................."

Before long, the celestial music turned.

The music is melodious and gentle.

The Moon Goddess stepped out slowly, her figure elegant and her demeanor dignified. She led thousands of Heng'e fairies, her robes fluttering, as she rose on auspicious clouds.

Countless fairies, their sleeves billowing in the air, moved with graceful ease, their wide sleeves flowing like the wind, each step creating a lotus blossom. Their enchanting dance reflected the light of the Jade Pool and the sun and moon, their celestial beauty unparalleled, adding even more splendor and elegance to the Peach Banquet.

With graceful celestial dances, ethereal music, and the company of celestial fruits and delicacies, the grand event was reaching its climax.

After a moment, Yaochi slowly raised her hand, signaling for the music and dance to slow down, and the entire audience fell silent again.

"Fellow saints and fellow disciples of the Primordial World."

Senior Brother Haotian is entrusted with a destiny by Heaven, acting as the Dao Ancestor to govern the stars and celestial bodies, to rule the Three Realms and Six Paths, to manage all affairs of Heaven and Earth, and to maintain order in the Four Seas and Eight Desolations.

With the Three Realms newly established, everything was in disarray and numerous affairs were in need of revival.

"Next, regarding the regulations of the Three Realms, the principles of Heaven and Earth, and the settlement of all living beings, I humbly request that Senior Brother Haotian take the lead and discuss with all the saints and powerful beings present to jointly determine the laws for the long-term peace and stability of the Three Realms."

After speaking, Yaochi bowed slightly, calmly returned to her seat, sat quietly, and said no more, handing over all the power of speech to Haotian.

In an instant, the six sages all shifted their gazes forward and landed on Haotian.

Ancient powerful beings such as Zhenyuan, Minghe, Kunpeng, and Leize, along with countless celestial beings and gods, all turned their gazes to him, and all eyes in the hall were focused on the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

Now that Yaochi's performance is over and everyone has given their opinions, it's up to Haotian to decide.

Haotian, dressed in solemn imperial robes, felt the attention of everyone around him. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before slowly rising.

"Thank you for recommending me, Junior Sister Yaochi. I used to live in Zixiao Palace for a long time, accompanying the Dao Ancestor in his cultivation and focusing on enlightenment. I have never held power in the Three Realms, let alone had any experience in governing the world or ruling all the gods."

Suddenly bearing the heavy responsibility of the Great Dao, I feel both apprehensive and uneasy. In the future, I will have to rely on the understanding and guidance of my fellow sages and senior brothers in all matters of the Three Realms.

"On the occasion of the grand Peach Banquet and the auspicious birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, double happiness arrives. Today, let us set aside mundane affairs and the rules of heaven and earth. I wish to raise a cup with my six sage senior brothers and fellow cultivators from all walks of life in the primordial world, to share the immortal fruits and celebrate my junior sister's birthday!"

The instant Haotian finished speaking.

The once warm and joyful banquet at Yaochi, filled with melodious music and laughter, suddenly fell silent.

All the powerful beings from the primordial era, the ancient giants, and the righteous gods of the heavens instantly focused their gazes on the two celestial beings, their eyes filled with disbelief, astonishment, and bewilderment.

No one expected it.

Just now, Yaochi was humble and respectful, winning the approval of everyone and accumulating unparalleled prestige and divine favor.

At this moment, Haotian casually mentioned the auspicious birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, and it all came to a complete disaster!

This is not a congratulatory message at all; it is an extremely malicious frame-up!

Even if it is the Heavenly Venerable, if he dares to hold his personal birthday celebration and receive the worship of all the heavens at the grand gathering attended by the six great sages, it is an act of usurping the Heavenly Way, showing no respect for the sages, and being arrogant and rebellious. It is a capital offense that can cause him to be tainted by overwhelming karma, shake his foundation of the Dao, and cut off his path to enlightenment!

At this moment, the gazes of the six Primordial Saints on the high platform suddenly changed completely.

The six saints' wrath paid no heed to Haotian, but instead lashed out at Yaochi.

Yaochi has now become a hypocrite, feigning humility while harboring boundless ambition. Under the guise of the Peach Banquet, it is trying to deceive the heavens and the earth, hoping to take advantage of the presence of the sage and the gathering of all the immortals to celebrate its birthday, presumptuously receive the respect of the heavens, and attempt to overstep the sage's authority and steal the fortune of heaven and earth!

Millions of eyes in the audience focused on Yaochi in an instant, filled with doubt, anger, disappointment and scrutiny.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was the first to get angry, and snorted coldly: "Junior Sister, you have quite the airs, actually making us celebrate your birthday!"

Upon hearing this, Yaochi was the first to become enraged!

Originally, Yaochi was also unsure, so Li Taibai had prepared a draft for her, in case Haotian really did this, how should she say it!

"Senior brother! What do you mean by that?!"

A question resounded throughout the heavens.

The entire hall was instantly stunned. No one expected that, facing imminent disaster and utter ruin, Yaochi not only did not panic and defend herself, but instead confronted Haotian directly in court and launched an attack!

"When did I ever say that today is my birthday? When did I ever dare to hold a birthday banquet, trouble the sages, or alarm the heavens?"

"Upon leaving the Heavenly Court, my senior brother offered to celebrate my birthday, which I refused, thus creating a rift between us. I wholeheartedly wished to yield and mend our relationship, hoping to work with my senior brother to govern the Heavenly Court and bring peace to the Three Realms! Why, at today's Peach Banquet, with the Sage present and all the immortals gathered, does my senior brother still resort to the same old tricks, framing me once more? Could it be that my senior brother is so unscrupulous in his desire to become the sole Heavenly Emperor? If this is what my senior brother desires, I can simply go to the Lord and request to step down. Why did my senior brother secretly frame me in front of the Sage?"

His words were forceful, frank, and open, without a trace of guilt or sophistry.

Haotian was completely stunned. He thought he had already figured out Yaochi's gentle, yielding nature and her consideration for her fellow disciples. He was certain that Yaochi would only endure humiliation and silently take the blame, and would never dare to confront him in public.

As long as they don't turn hostile on the spot, their plan will succeed!

Unexpectedly, Yaochi, who is usually gentle and patient, dared to lose her temper in public and question people in court today, showing no mercy in turning her back on them!

Haotian's face stiffened. He forced himself to remain calm, feigning indifference with a hint of feigned helplessness.

"Junior sister was merely there by chance and made a casual remark. Why get so angry and make such a big deal out of nothing?"

"Just a casual remark?"

Why get angry?

All the sages of the heavens are above, and all the immortals of the primordial world are here!

What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve the personal presence of six Primordial Saints to celebrate my birthday? How dare I accept the worship and congratulations of all the immortals of the Three Realms?

"These heinous crimes of transgressing the laws of Heaven, blaspheming the sages, and stealing destiny—my senior brother spoke recklessly in public without my permission, deliberately framing me and pinning these things on me!"

Upon hearing this, the six sages on the high platform all changed their expressions.

The raging anger froze instantly, and each person used their fingertips to calculate the secrets of heaven and investigate the cause and effect.

Although it's unclear, it did happen. The two of them had an argument about birthday celebrations, but it's unclear what they argued about.

The anger in the eyes of the six saints completely dissipated, replaced by intense rage as they looked at Haotian. How dare Haotian scheme against a saint! He was truly audacious!

Before Yaochi could finish speaking, she immediately said, "Since Senior Brother is pressing me relentlessly and showing no regard for our past relationship, our eons of brotherhood and sisterhood within the Zixiao Sect are now severed!"

scoff!

A crisp, piercing sound of tearing silk rang out in the hall. Yaochi grabbed the hem of her immortal robe and tore it off in court, severing all ties!

That's how decisive it is. Since Haotian is really going to harm me, then I don't need to tolerate it anymore. Because the karma and anger of the Six Saints have all fallen on me. If I tolerate it, there's no doubt that my Great Dao will be destroyed!
