Three Immortals Gather

Qi Wangshu looked slightly embarrassed. He pulled Li Weiyi's wrist and walked upstairs, asking with a smile, "Brother Chi, which side do you plan to sit on?"

"What? Which side should I sit on?" Li Weiyi was a little confused.

Qi Wangshu's eyes widened, stunned. "You really came here for a free meal?"

"Otherwise what?"

"We're all here to see the spectacle and witness the Three Immortals' prowess."

Li Weiyi stared at Zuoqiu Ting.

Qi Wangshu said, "Today, the Heavenly Pavilion was booked in half by the Dragon Gate and the Imperial Court. To be precise, initially, the Dragon Gate booked the entire Heavenly Pavilion, intending to host a banquet for Zhu Huan, the successor of the Lei Xiao Sect. All other martial artists from across the land were merely accompanying guests, making the event quite impressive."

Li Weiyi said, "The Zhu family of the Western Territory controls three states. Are they trying to form an alliance between the Eastern and Western Borders?"

Qi Wangshu nodded. "How could the Imperial Court let them have their way? So they used some special means to make Dragon Gate only able to book half, which led to today's excitement. The three top experts of the Imperial Court will host a banquet at the Heavenly Pavilion for the young martial artists of its eight core states, as well as all the ambitious talents in the world who are willing to support the country and sweep away the bandits."

"Let's go inside and talk in detail."

After climbing dozens of jade steps, we arrived at the first square.

Here, there was a protective array. After Li Weiyi and his group of five stepped over it, they immediately felt a powerful pressure bearing down on them, like being bound by chains or falling into a swamp.

Qi Wangshu explained, "When the Five Seas Banquet is held, the Heavenly Pavilion will usually activate an array to suppress the power of martial cultivators. This serves two purposes: first, to prevent excessively destructive battles from damaging the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion; and second, to directly intercept martial cultivators at the Spring Realm outside the array."

The five of them walked along the road, passing through three squares, before finally arriving at the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion.

Only by standing beneath it can one truly appreciate its magnificence and imposing presence. Each floor is tens of feet high, with jade pillars and carved railings forming a seamless whole.

Qi Wangshu looked up, filled with emotion. "It is said that this Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion not only contains seven thousand Formation Script, but is also a Ten Thousand Character Scripture Magic Tool."

Upon entering, Li Weiyi was immediately struck by the spaciousness of the room. Not to mention the sixteen rooms divided by the windows, the central hall alone could easily accommodate a thousand people.

The first floor's rooms and main hall were already overflowing with people, almost all of whom were martial arts cultivators at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm.

As Li Weiyi walked up the open stairwell in the center and reached the second floor, he clearly felt the pressure on his body increase again.

Qi Wangshu smiled and whispered, "Brother Chi, did you notice? The second level is almost entirely populated by martial artists at the Second Realm, and it's much quieter than the first level! What realm is the Second Miss at?"

Qi Wangshu was worried that her cultivation level was not high enough, so he prepared to sit on the second floor.

Zuoqiu Ting said, "My cultivation level is the same as my brother's."

Qi Wangshu said, "Shall we go to the third floor?"

"Let's go straight to the fourth floor!" Li Weiyi said.

Qi Wangshu was moved. "Based on the array structure of the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion today, one would probably need to be at the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas to leisurely dine on the fourth floor."

"I don't care."

Gan YanZhen went upstairs first.

He possessed Pure Immortal Body and believed he could withstand the formations of the fourth level of the pavilion.

Zuoqiu Ting wasn't too surprised, knowing that Li Weiyi had the ability to launch cross-border rebellions; Gan YanZhen could do it, how could it be difficult for him?

When Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Ting ascended to the fourth floor, their expressions unchanged and their demeanor composed Gan YanZhen and Zuoqiu Baiyuan finally began to look at the siblings with new respect, no longer as dismissive as they had initially been.

A maidservant approached with a smile and informed them, "All sixteen private rooms on the fourth floor are fully booked. Five guests, the guests from Dragon Gate will sit in the east and west halls, and the guests from the Imperial Court will sit in the north and south halls."

Qi Wangshu looked at the four people and asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, which side shall we eat from?"

Gan YanZhen said coldly, "We are all martial artists under the Zuoqiu Courtyard, and we are at odds with both sides, so it doesn't matter which side we sit in."

"Then let's sit in the South Hall of the Imperial Court. It's more spacious and quiet there, and we can also enjoy the Soldier Ancestor Marsh view," Li Weiyi said.

The south hall on the fourth floor, with more than twenty tables, was still empty. Along the carved phoenix railing in the central courtyard, there was a passageway six or seven zhang wide. It is said that this passageway was reserved for those who performed dances and played music.

Because we arrived early, there were only three tables of martial arts practitioners in the entire South Hall.

Sitting down by the sea, Li Weiyi asked, "Will Three Immortals come today?"

Zuoqiu Ting suddenly stood up. "Brother Baiyuan, can I talk to you alone?"

Everyone present, except for Li Weiyi, was taken aback.

Zuoqiu Baiyuan was also greatly surprised. Even if Chi Yongsheng's sister was a passionate woman, she should have taken a liking to the handsome Gan YanZhen.

Being noticed by a beautiful woman is certainly a source of pride.

Besides, the other party had a high level of cultivation and was a member of the Jiu Li Tribe, so Zuoqiu Baiyuan naturally had to give him some face. He slowly stood up and followed Zuoqiu Ting to the side.

Qi Wangshu smiled awkwardly, "Brother Bai Yuan is a direct descendant of a Myriad Gate Families family, outstanding in both talent and appearance, naturally far superior to us. Let's talk about ourselves. These Three Immortals are none other than our three hosts today."

"They are Long Dragon Descendant Immortal of Dragon Gate and Dragon Hall."

"Ge Xiantong of the Phoenix Pavilion, Jiang Ning, the Fairy Yu of the Luan Terrace."

"To be able to gather the Three Immortals recognized by the Immortal Forest in a single day and within a single pavilion is already a worthwhile trip."

Li Weiyi hadn't paid much attention to the talents of the world, focusing instead on his cultivation. He asked, "What is the relationship between the Dragon Hall and the Long Ting?"

"The Dragon Hall is the first inheritor of the Dragon Gate, and the Long Ting is the second inheritor," Qi Wangshu said. "It is said that when this first inheritor of the Dragon Gate was born, celestial clouds descended from the sky, and he transformed into a dragon and entered the womb; he was a banished immortal. He is the top-ranked scholar in the Eastern Region in this evaluation of the Du'e Temple!"

"As for Ge Xiantong, he is even more remarkable, and is recognized as the number one young talent in the world. He was Yu Yaozi's disciple twenty years ago. Not long after, our legendary Great Palace Master went mad, losing all his former wisdom and intelligence. His personality went from extreme to terrifying, and naturally, he could no longer take on disciples."

When he said this, Qi Wangshu used his spiritual energy to transmit his voice, afraid that the Imperial Court officials in the main hall would hear him.

"As for Fairy Yu, she entered the Three Immortals for her beauty and is said to be the most beautiful woman of the younger generation. Today, we should be fortunate enough to admire her celestial beauty from afar. Keep a close eye on the corridor later; the Imperial Court's experts have definitely not arrived yet." Qi Wangshu was very excited and expectant.

At this moment, Zuoqiu Ting returned first. "You think you can enter the Three Immortals and become the leader of the younger generation of Luantai just by relying on your beauty? Young Master Qi, you underestimate that Fairy Yu."

"Who am I to dare underestimate Fairy Yu?" Qi Wangshu smiled wryly, then asked, "Where is Brother Bai Yuan?"

Zuoqiu Ting and sat down to Li Weiyi's left. "Brother Baiyuan said he would help us arrange rooms in the main hall, it would be too embarrassing for him to sit there."

"The gatehouse on the fourth floor?"

"Of course."

Qi Wangshu and Gan YanZhen were greatly shocked. With all the rooms already booked, they were still able to get Heavenly Pavilion or the main family of the Imperial Court to vacate a room. As expected of the direct descendants of Zuoqiu Courtyard, their methods were extraordinary.

Zuoqiu Ting laughed and said, "It's better to go into the palace! Here, we can't chat freely because we're always worried that people from the Imperial Court might overhear and cause trouble. For example, who among you dares to say that Ge Xiantong is a eunuch who will never grow up?"

Zuoqiu Ting's voice immediately drew the attention of many in the hall.

Li Weiyi secretly transmitted his voice through magical energy. "You're not here to cause trouble, are you? We'll all be killed by you. Why don't you go to the seventh floor yourself?"

Qi Wangshu immediately adopted a pleading expression. "Second Miss, although we are currently on Zuoqiu Courtyard's territory, which is our home ground, the Imperial Court is the most powerful force in the world, and its young masters are numerous. They will likely all make an appearance today, and we cannot afford to offend them!"

The Imperial Court was able to withstand the attacks of various forces across the land on its own, so its strength was naturally extraordinary, and it was not simply a matter of having three young leaders from the Phoenix Pavilion, Luan Terrace, and Qilin Platform.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded from the stairwell.

Li Weiyi sensed something and looked over, just in time to see Yang Qingxi being the first to walk up.

She was dressed in men's clothing, with a scholar's cap on her head. Her neck was long and slender, her robes were brightly colored, her makeup was exquisite, and her slender waist was bound by a jade belt, giving her a graceful and delicate appearance.

She noticed she was being watched and sensed a subtle hostility in the other person's gaze. She looked at Li Weiyi, who was sitting by the window, and a look of confusion crossed her face. She had clearly forgotten who he was.

Sheng Qingyan followed closely behind, ascending the stairs. Following Yang Qingxi's gaze, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She transmitted her thoughts to Yang Qingxi's ear using her magical energy. "The people of the Chili Tribe of the Jiu Li Tribe have close ties with Li Ling."

Sheng Qingyan was unaware that Li Weiyi had taken Zhuang Yue from her; she had only seen him at the Heavenly Pavilion in Giant Marsh City.

Upon hearing Li Ling's name, Yang Qingxi instantly remembered her, and a long-lost figure appeared in her mind. However, she was immediately shocked to realize that this was the fourth floor of the Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion.

That kid at the Spring Realm is already this strong?

Yang Qingxi led the Sui Sect group toward the table where Li Weiyi and his group of five were.

With Zuoqiu Ting there, Li Weiyi was completely unafraid, staring directly at her without concealing the coldness in his eyes.

Qi Wangshu and Gan YanZhen were already overwhelmed by the Battle Intent aura emanating from Yang Qingxi, unable to breathe and unable to lift their heads, feeling a terrifying sense of impending doom.

"Li Weiyi?" Yang Qingxi called out.

Li Weiyi suppressed his chill, quickly stood up, and said with a smile, "Miss Yang truly lives up to her reputation as a leading figure among the younger generation of the Sui Sect. Not only is her cultivation exceptionally high, but her memory is also Transcendent. She actually remembers such a nobody as me."

Yang Qingxi sized him up. "I underestimated you. It seems Yang Yun was right, Sima Tan is indeed Li Weiyi. His talent and cultivation speed are unparalleled in my life. If I don't kill you soon, you will surely become a great threat to my Sui Sect."

Li Weiyi said, "If Miss Yang were to make a move here, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to the Imperial Court?"

Seeing his confidence and composure, Yang Qingxi glanced at the others at the table. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Isn't it a bit too spacious for the four of you to sit at one table? If you don't mind, we from the Sui Sect would like to share a table."

Without giving them a chance to refuse, Yang Qingxi exuded an aura of power and came to Li Weiyi's right side. As she gracefully sat down, her magical energy overflowed, pressing Li Weiyi, who was originally standing, back into the chair. Clearly, she wanted to test his cultivation level.

Zuoqiu Ting his palm on the armrest of Li Weiyi's chair, and his magical energy dissipated. Although Li Weiyi sat down heavily, the chair remained completely undamaged.

Yang Qingxi raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her bright pupils, and looked at Zuoqiu Ting, who was sitting to Li Weiyi's left. "Impressive cultivation! But your Disguise Art is rather ordinary. Why not show your true form?"
