With a naive smile on his face, Zhu Ganglie, who was carrying the spiked rake, conjured up a fierce demonic wind as he arrived in front of the courtyard.
“Congratulations, Daoist Friend Xuanqing, on embarking on the Road to Fairyland. I, Old Zhu, have no other gifts to offer you than these few rakes!”
As his words fell.
Under the astonished gaze of the immortals present.
“First rake, birth of all things!”
The nine-tooth rake in Zhu Ganglie’s hand rapidly grew larger, eventually turning into a hundreds-of-feet-long rake, which he swung towards Black Wind Mountain.
Upon witnessing this scene.
“King Ganglie, you dare to cause trouble on Black Wind Mountain! 1, Old Black, will fight you to the death!” cried the Black Bear Essence, his eyes red with anger.
He jumped forward with a single leap, intending to fight Zhu Ganglie to the death, but was stopped in his tracks.
“You foolish brute, stand still!”
Helpless, Xuanqing realized how loyal and powerful Black Bear Essence was, but how naive his personality was as well.
Screech-
The Black Bear Essence came to a halt at once, wearing a puzzled expression as he looked at his master.
Just at that moment.
The gigantic rake descended.
Boom-
The earth trembled, and the mountains shook, but oddly enough, the colossal rake caused no damage to Black Wind Mountain, as if it were merely an illusion.
Not only that.
The moment the rake landed, the entire Black Wind Mountain became shrouded in fog and dense Spiritual Qi, its concentration significantly increasing.
Zhu Ganglie did not stop his movements.
His face flushed red, he used all of his strength, bellowed angrily, and swung his rake again, digging into the mountain.
“Second rake, Immortal and Spiritual Qi!”
Boom-
The booming noise was even louder than before, making everyone feel as if their eardrums were about to rupture.
In an instant.
The whole of Black Wind Mountain trembled, emanating an incredibly heavy aura, while plants and flowers grew wildly.
Black Wind Mountain’s Land God underwent the most significant change of all.
At this moment.
After being subjected to the two rakes, the Black Wind Mountain’s Land God, who had already merged with the mountain peak, emitted bursts of divine light from his body.
He advanced in rank!
“Little God…the Little God has achieved the Eighth Rank as the Mountain Deity!”
The Black Wind Mountain Earth God wore an incredulous expression, as his previous fusion with the mountain peak had promoted him to a subordinate eighth rank, but now, after the two rakes, he had advanced again and become a bona fide Eighth Rank Mountain God.
His rank was now equivalent to that of the city land gods and water gods present at the banquet.
After the second rake.
“Hu-”
Zhu Ganglie gasped for breath, his whole body soaked in sweat, and when he tried to swing his rake again, he could only lift it up high and then let it fall weakly.
“Damn, being a pig is truly a miserable fate. In my Old Zhu’s time, one rake could have made the Heavenly River change its course, but now I can’t even dig into this little mountain that’s only a few thousand meters.”
Pah-”
Zhu Ganglie spat on the ground, cursing under his breath, feeling as if he had lost face.
“Daoist, give me a Ginseng Fruit as a gift, and I will give you a Cave heaven and blessed land in return!”
“Alright!”
With a faint smile and without hesitation, Xuanqing took out a complete Ginseng Fruit from his Game Backpack and tossed it to Zhu Ganglie.
“Catch!”
Gulp-
Zhu Ganglie opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Ginseng Fruit in mid-air, proving himself worthy of later inspiring the saying “Zhu Bajie eats Ginseng Fruit”.
With one Ginseng Fruit in his belly!
He felt a burning sensation all over, and the ordinary flesh of the pig demon underwent a transformation at this moment, its life essence becoming sublimated.
“Roar-”
He let out a long howl.
Zhu Ganglie once again raised the rake in his hand and slammed it down onto Black Wind Mountain.
“Third rake…Cave heaven and blessed land!”
Humming-
An inexplicable Daoist rhyme emanated from the tip of the Nine-tooth Rake, spreading in all directions and causing ripples in space.
The aura was elevating.
Black Wind Mountain’s quality began to change; the originally ordinary soil became heavier, and the ordinary flowers and grass evolved towards spiritual plants.
The heavenly and earthly spiritual qi was tumbling wildly.
The entire phenomenon lasted for thirty minutes.
Plop-
Ding-ding-
At this moment, Zhu Ganglie had collapsed from exhaustion, and the Nine-tooth Rake in his hand fell to the ground, making a clear sound.
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing hurriedly helped him up, with a bitter smile on his face, “Gangling Senior Brother, you’ve hidden your struggles so well from your Junior Brother!”
It took a while before,
Zhu Ganglie came back to his senses, opened his mouth and laughed heartily, explaining, “Hahaha, Junior Xuanqing, don’t be annoyed, mainly because being a demon is extremely boring, so I’m doing it for fun!”
“Junior Brother, let’s go, go, go. I’m famished after using the three rakes just now, let’s go in and eat first.”
The moment his words fell,
he stepped into the courtyard.
Seeing the gathering of demons, immortals, and Dragon Kings inside, he didn’t seem surprised at all. Instead, he greeted everyone with open hands.
“Greetings, Marshal Tianpeng! Your display of divine power has been truly eye-opening for all of us!”
“As expected, we heard that the Marshal was able to rake the River of Heaven and alter its course. Today, we see that it is indeed true.”
Although Zhu Ganglie is now demoted to the mortal world and even reincarnated as a pig demon, the gods are still polite and not the least bit contemptuous.
Not to mention anything else, the position of Commander of the Tianhe Forbidden Army was left vacant after Tianpeng had been demoted to the mortal world and is still empty to this day, which can give you some insight into his status.
Eventually,
Zhu Ganglie found a seat next to the West Sea Dragon King.
As the former Marshal Tianpeng, his status was more or less equal to that of the boss of the Thunder Department, and only the West Sea Dragon King could be his equal at the banquet.
Seeing that all the guests had arrived,
Xuanqing waved at Qingwan, who was standing next to the copper bell on the mountaintop, ready for action.
At the next moment,
Boom-
The sound of the copper bell was deep and distant,
The Ascension Banquet began!
The first to make a move were the impatient scattered monsters who arrived first. They were already starving from the smell alone, unable to bear the wait any longer.
“Hiss… So delicious!”
“With one bite, my cultivation has broken through.”
“Oh my god, I almost swallowed my tongue. White Snake… Daoist Qingxu and
Daoist Black Bear must enjoy this food often. How I envy them.”
In contrast to the monsters’ gobbling and devouring,
The Four Gods of the Heavenly Thunder Department, Dragon Kings, Crown Prince Moang, Zhu Ganglie, and others were much more restrained.
It is worth mentioning that,
What was placed in front of them was not spiritual porridge and tea, but a gorgeous fruit plate for everyone, with a ginseng fruit placed inside.
As the host,
Xuanqing picked up the ginseng fruit in front of him and laughed, “Black Wind Mountain is barren, and there’s not much to offer except for this ginseng fruit. I hope you won’t despise it!”
“Please!”
“Daoist Friend Xuanqing is too modest. With such treasures, we are truly fortunate.”
“Haha, absolutely right! Even our Dragon clan is known for its wealth, but we don’t have ginseng fruits as valuable as these.”
Amidst the laughter and conversation, everyone gently bit into the ginseng fruit. It melted in their mouths, and the Chaotic Qi formed a unique taste that lingered with a lasting fragrance.
No wonder it was acclaimed as the number one delicacy in the Three Realms. Truly well-deserved!
However,
Unlike everyone else who savored the taste, Zhu Ganglie swallowed the entire fruit the moment everyone else took their first bite.
Terrible, I ate it too fast!
“It’s over already? Junior Brother, your ginseng fruit doesn’t last long enough.
I, Old Zhu, haven’t even tasted it yet.” Zhu Ganglie was filled with regret.
Seeing this,
Xuanqing let out a soft chuckle, shook his head, and took out another ginseng fruit from his pocket, placing it in his gluttonous Senior Brother’s fruit plate.
Compared to the earlier gift of a cave heaven and blessed land, a few ginseng fruits were nothing at all.
Moreover, there was also the favor of the Cultivation Techniques gifted before..
