“Hahaha, congratulations to Daoist Xuanqing on forming your immortal body and embarking on the path of Heavenly Immortal.”
Lei Gong, carrying his hammer, laughed heartily and said, “Universal Transcendence has entrusted me to congratulate you, young friend.”
Upon hearing this,
the little demons in the courtyard didn’t have much reaction, as they couldn’t comprehend this level of significance.
However, the various mountain and land deities’ hearts were struck with astonishment like a raging storm.
As land deities, how could they not know who Universal Transcendence was? He is the boss of the Department of Thunder in the Heavenly Court.
It was already quite something for the gods of the Thunder Department to come, given that Daoist Xuanqing is a Daoist Immortal Officer. But they never expected such a great face; even the grand Heavenly Lord of the Thunder Department sent someone to congratulate him.
“Honored guests, please come in-”
Xuanqing bowed slightly, gesturing with his hands politely.
“Of course, of course-”
The gods of the Thunder Department stepped forward, holding various gifts in their hands, most of which were special products from the Heavenly Court, such as Fairy Crystals, Thunder Spirit Crystal Stones, and so on.
Black Bear Essence received the gifts.
Gentleman Bai She sang praises aloud, reciting the names of the gifts on the list.
It’s worth mentioning:
When attending a banquet to give gifts, in addition to the gift, a list is also needed. Otherwise, if the person singing praises doesn’t know the names of the treasures, wouldn’t it be awkward for both parties?
The Thunder Gods had just entered the courtyard,
right after-
“Roar-”
A dragon roar, sounding like metal, resounded through Heaven and Earth.
A thousand-meter-long giant dragon, stirring up clouds and rain in an instant, flew over from the west.
Behind this thousand-meter-long giant dragon, there was also a hundred-meter-long Azure Dragon.
The gigantic body, almost the same length as Black Wind Mountain, cast a shadow on the earth. If it were to collide with Black Wind Mountain, it could probably collapse it in a single blow.
Fortunately,
The giant dragon quickly shrank its body when it approached Black Wind Mountain, finally transforming into a man with a dragon head.
It’s worth mentioning that a creature with the face of a human and a red dot on its forehead stood behind the Dragon King.
Dragon Clan!
People from the Dragon Clan have come.
The seated guests in the courtyard all looked over, their astonishment almost numbing their hearts by now.
Although the Dragon Clan has declined, the saying goes that a dying camel is still larger than a horse. Over the entire Four Seas, the Dragon Clan still holds the power, making them one of the richest races in the Three Realms.
Upon seeing this,
Xuanqing hurriedly greeted them as before.
“Welcome to the West Sea Dragon King’s arrival at Black Wind Mountain!”
“Haha- Haha, congratulations to Daoist Xuanqing on forming an immortal body and embarking on the path of Heavenly Immortal, what a joyous occasion!”
The West Sea Dragon King laughed heartily, and congratulated.
Afterwards,
He turned around and introduced, “This is my son, Moang. To speak of fate, Moang’s mother is from the human race, so he is also considered half-human!” As soon as he finished speaking,
Prince Moang stepped forward, clasping his hands together and said, “Ao Moang, it is a pleasure to meet you, Daoist Xuanqing!”
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune to Prince Moang!”
Xuanqing also returned the courtesy.
He was originally puzzled as to why the Dragon King was accompanied by a human but found out that it was Prince Moang.
This prince, who has also made an appearance in the Journey to the West saga, helped Sun Wukong subdue his cousin, the little Crocodile Dragon, at the Blackwater River.
“West Sea Dragon King and Prince Moang, please come in!”
“Please!”
The West Sea Dragon King stepped into the courtyard, and Moang, who was behind him, took out a list of gifts and a cloth bag, handing them to the Black Bear Essence.
A Sumeru Bag?
The gift from the East Sea Dragon Palace was actually in a Sumeru Bag.
Black Bear Essence received the bag and looked inside with his divine thoughts.
Hiss-
The dazzling and slow-moving objects filled the entire cloth bag, most of which were unrecognizable. However, judging from the aura emanating from them, they were precious treasures.
Aside.
Gentleman Bai She couldn’t contain his curiosity and urged, “Big Brother Black Bear, what are you dazing at? Hurry up and give me the list!”
“This… so many things, here’s the list.” The Black Bear scratched his head, his face full of shock.
Taking over the list.
Gentleman Bai She, just like before, loudly exclaimed, “West Sea Dragon King, congratulations to Sir Xuanqing for becoming a Heavenly Immortal, a gift of one… thousand catties of Deep Sea Ice Crystal?!”
Inside the courtyard.
Xuanqing was wearing a smile, personally leading the West Sea Dragon King and Prince Moang to their seats, when he suddenly heard the words ‘one thousand catties of Deep Sea Ice Crystal.’
Immediately.
He was dumbfounded.
One thousand catties?
What kind of concept is that, one catty is roughly thirty pounds, a thousand catties is a whole sixty thousand pounds!
Deep Sea Ice Crystals are not like common jade, but a very precious treasure and great material for refining magic artifacts.
However.
It wasn’t over yet.
As Gentleman Bai She’s voice paused slightly, the hand holding the list trembled slightly, and his voice trembled as well.
“Stardust Fine Gold… one thousand catties, one hundred pounds of ten-thousand-year Stone Milk, ten thousand roots of Kyushu Spirit Wood…”
What is called a pompous display of wealth.
Take a look at the congratulatory gifts sent by the Dragon Palace, not to mention the treasures themselves were extremely precious, the measuring unit alone was astonishing.
Others use ‘drop’ ‘bottle’ ‘ounce’, but this West Sea Dragon King starts with a hundred pounds, thousands of pounds, and even tens of thousands of roots.
So extravagantly wealthy without a shred of humanity!
Xuanqing scorned in his heart, but of course, on the surface, he was still calm and collected.
“I’ve long heard that the wealth of the Four Seas is great, and it’s indeed well deserved!”
“Haha- my Daoist friend is too modest, how can my presents compare to the porridge and tea served at this banquet.”
The West Sea Dragon King smiled faintly and then pointed at the table’s porridge and tea.
“If I am not mistaken, this porridge and tea were made with Rootless Stagnant Water mixed with Ginseng Fruit?”
As soon as these words came out,
Suddenly.
It caused a huge commotion at the banquet.
“Ginseng Fruit, this Daoist Xuanqing actually has Ginseng Fruit?”
“No wonder the tea and porridge are both emanating a refreshing fragrance, so they were made with Ginseng Fruit.”
“The last time 1 saw Ginseng Fruit was at the Flat Peach Ceremony more than four hundred years ago.”
The discussion among the immortals of the Thunder Department was non-stop.
As for the various mountain and land deities, they were nearly scared out of their wits; Ginseng Fruit was something they could only hear about in rumors, knowing that it was Three Realms Great Power Zhen Yuanzi’s treasure.
Now.
This Ginseng Fruit appeared in Daoist Xuanqing’s hands, and he was even using it to make porridge and tea, which was simply unbelievable.
Seeing this scene.
Xuanqing laughed and waved his hand, not caring at all, “You all are honored guests on my Black Wind Mountain, a bit of Ginseng Fruit doesn’t matter much.”
“As long as you all eat and drink well, I am happy.”
Everyone’s mouths twitched slightly.
Look at what he’s saying, it’s even more extravagant than the inhumanely wealthy West Sea Dragon King!
Just then.
A deep voice sounded from afar.
“Hahahaha- If there’s Ginseng Fruit to eat, Old Zhu can’t miss out!”
With bursts of demonic wind, a pig-like creature with a rake, a potbelly, wind-catching ears, and a long nose… flew in!
“General Tianpeng?”
“General Tianpeng?”
Everyone was taken aback.
Wasn’t he supposed to be in the Lower Realm for his trial? How did he appear at this Ascension Banquet?
