Time flies.
A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
On the Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea, numerous powerful beings gathered here, calling upon their friends and acquaintances from all corners of the Primordial Desolation World.
As fragments of Chaos formed at the Heaven-Opening, the Three Immortal Islands were inherently different from others.
Before its birth, the three islands were protected by Chaos Great Formation, which concealed the Heavenly Secrets and made them a pure land outside the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao.
Chaos Qi circulated within the Great Formation, and the island was shrouded in clouds and rosy hues. The Innate Spiritual Qi was incredibly dense, almost condensing into Spirit Liquid. Under the nourishment of this spiritual energy, the acquired Acquired Spiritual Root and immortal herbs everywhere bore abundant Spiritual Fruit. The deeper one went into the center of Penglai, the more Innate Spiritual Root one could find. Many rare birds and Mutated Beasts played and frolicked around the lakes formed by the convergence of Innate Spiritual Qi, creating a vibrant scene of life everywhere.
With the establishment of the Immortal Court, the island is now dotted with grand pavilions and palaces, offering convenient access to the water.
The many powerful disciples and clansmen who were invited to come were also deeply shocked by the magnificent scene before them.
Many of the Golden Immortal and Grand Unity Realm cultivators even had some thoughts in their minds, feeling that joining the Immortal Court and following the East King Duke might not be such a bad thing!
Judging from the climate of Penglai Immortal Island, even if it can dominate the Primordial World in the future, it should at least be able to become a regional overlord!
It's good to rest in the shade of a big tree, and it's good to cultivate oneself in the Immortal Court.
If they can cultivate under such conditions, it's not impossible for them to become Great Luo Immortals and roam freely throughout the world.
Some impatient individuals immediately went to the Immortal Court's registration office and announced their membership, while others, being more cautious, wanted to postpone the ceremony until later.
As the time of the grand ceremony approached, Jiang Yun and his group arrived in Penglai in time.
"The Daoist Zhunti Jieyin and his disciples from Mount Sumeru arrived, presenting three Innate Bodhi Seed and one High-grade Acquired Spiritual Root!"
Jieyin Zhunti led their entourage to the ceremony, and of course they did not come empty-handed. Zhunti presented three Bodhi seeds that he had cultivated as a gift, Jieyin provided an Acquired Spiritual Root. They handed these gifts to the Reception Staff at the Immortal Court Reception Office, and then led their disciples to follow the envoy to the Viewing Platform.
Other powerful figures who came to observe the ceremony also brought gifts.
"Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple and Daoist Hongyun of Huoyun Cave have arrived, presenting three Ginseng Fruits and a Top-grade Acquired Spiritual Root!"
"The Taiqing Daoist, Yuqing, and Shangqing Daoist from Kunlun Mountain have arrived, presenting three Immortal Apricot and two top-grade acquired Houtian Spiritual Treasure!"
"The Taoist Minghe of the Blood Sea and Styx River has arrived, and presents me with a Houtian Spiritual Treasure!"
One after another, renowned top gods from the Primordial World appeared, instantly pushing the atmosphere of the entire ceremony to a climax.
"The Demon Clan's Di Jun, Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Kunpeng have arrived with their entourage!"
Just before the ceremony was about to begin, a sudden chanting startled everyone.
The cultivators sitting on the Viewing Platform were silently watching the drama unfold. They hadn't seen Demon Clan before and had assumed they wouldn't come!
I never expected the Demon Clan to bring so many people to witness the ceremony, and they didn't even prepare any gifts. Their intentions are clearly not good!
Di Jun led the Demon Clan race to the Viewing Platform, greeted some of his acquaintances, and then found a seat.
Before long, when the appointed time arrived, the grand ceremony officially began.
The Dao Lord, the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West, made their appearance together. They first thanked all the fellow Daoists for gracing them with their presence, and then the banquet for the immortals began.
Numerous Immortal Maidens Strongmen and warriors brought Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, Spirit Herb and Spiritual Fruit, and fine wine Jade Nectar. Musicians played Immortal Music on the sidelines, while fairies danced gracefully in the arena.
The immortals savored the delicious food while enjoying the Immortal Music and dance, thoroughly engrossed in the experience.
Although cultivation has become their greatest pleasure at this level, enjoying some exquisite dishes occasionally still adds a unique flavor!
Especially Hong Yun, who loves to play, was very interested in these scenes! Although the Immortal Fruits on Penglai Immortal Island were not as good as his friend's Ginseng Fruit, they were numerous in variety and rich in flavor, which made him very happy.
As time passed, the banquet for the immortals had been going on for quite some time.
After all the attendees had finished enjoying the Spiritual Fruit and the Song and Dance performances, the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West, seeing that it was almost time, exchanged a glance and rose directly from their seats.
After bowing to the crowd, the two spoke loudly, "We are honored to have fellow Daoists grace us with their presence today, to attend the banquet and witness the ceremony in Penglai!"
In the past, we were the Two by Saint and specially appointed as the leaders of all immortals, to Act on behalf of Heaven and manage the Order of the Primordial Desolation World. Today, we ask all the Two you to witness that we intend to carry out Heavenly Mandate's mandate—"
"Wait a minute!"
The Two at the head of the table were speaking eloquently, preparing to deliver their inaugural address, when a sudden, sharp shout interrupted their speech.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Taiyi had stood up with his head held high on the Demon Clan's seat, while the others sat casually to the side, seemingly watching a good show.
When the East King Duke saw the Demon Clan's Eastern Emperor Taiyi causing trouble, he was very displeased. However, given that there were still many guests present, he couldn't be impolite. So, he composed himself and asked in a cold voice, "Taiyi, what is the meaning of your interruption of the ceremony? Is it because my Immortal Court Buzhou in its hospitality?"
Taiyi narrowed his eyes, glanced at East King Duke, and said contemptuously, "We Demon Clan have come here today only to see the weight of you, the Head of Male Immortals."
On that day in the Purple Sky Palace, the Saint personally bestowed upon you the Head of Male Immortals. You were merely Great Luo Late Stage cultivator. We gave you this honor out of respect for the Saint, and it was just an empty title.
Today you want to establish Immortal Court, wanting to be above us, and even dare to try to manage all the immortals. What a boastful tone!
If you have the ability, then show it to me and let me know what you're capable of!
After saying that, Taiyi stepped onto the Viewing Platform and stood in the void.
After hearing Taiyi's words, East King Duke looked at Di Jun and asked resentfully, "Di Jun, is this Taiyi's intention or your Demon Clan's intention?"
"Taiyi is the Eastern Emperor of my Demon Clan, and his will is the will of my Demon Clan!" Di Jun replied lazily to the East King Duke.
The title of Eastern Emperor Taiyi was earned through hard-fought battles against the Witch Clan. He is the strongest warrior of the Demon Clan. This time, let him humiliate the Immortal Court and show everyone what the Immortal Court is in front of the Demon Clan.
"East King Duke, stop beating around the bush and come up to fight me," Taiyi said impatiently.
The East King Duke also knew the power of the Demon Clan. He originally hoped that everyone would recognize the Immortal Court he established out of respect for the Dao Ancestor, thus solidifying his righteous title of managing the Order of the Primordial World.
In this way, he can gather more Fortune and Merit to quickly improve his cultivation level, thereby achieving his goal of suppressing other powerful beings.
Unfortunately, the Demon Clan did not act as he expected. Instead, they launched a powerful attack during the ceremony, putting him in a corner. Now, he has no choice but to fight back.
