A lavish and lively dinner was concluded in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

The Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, and others gathered around Zhang Yifan, drinking tea and eating snacks.

With tea, snacks, and fruit, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but recall his days as a local landlord in his youth, enjoying fine wine and beautiful singers – it was truly a happy time.

He also remembered a series of peculiar tasks once issued by the dog system, one of which was to study dance. Zhang Yifan had indeed practiced dance to the ultimate Grand Perfection level.

"What a beautiful time and scenery. If only someone could play music and dance, that would be perfect," Zhang Yifan sighed.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor slapped his thigh and laughed, "Father, I knew something was missing from this scene! It turns out it was music and dance!"

Back in the Heavenly Court, wasn't it always like this – drinking fine wine, eating snacks, and enjoying the dances of the fairies?

"Grandpa, let me dance for you."

The eldest fairy of the Seven Fairies, hearing this, immediately perked up. "I just learned a new dance and haven't performed it for Grandpa yet!"

"Grandpa, Grandpa, let us perform with our sister. We just learned the Rainbow Skirt Flying Sky Dance," the other princesses chimed in, giggling as they stood up.

"Splendid. Then let your Grandpa see your new dance," Zhang Yifan laughed heartily. He hadn't enjoyed such a life in a long time.

"Old Bai, let's play the music then." The Jade Emperor joined in the fun, pulling Taibai Jinxing along to play music.

The Jade Emperor held a handbell, while Taibai beat a drum.

"Little Tongtong's flute playing is excellent! Little Tongtong, come and accompany us too." The Jade Emperor also roped in Sect Master Tongtian for accompaniment.

Sect Master Tongtian did not refuse.

"Then I'll provide the lighting," Yang Jian also wanted to show off.

"Hahaha, Uncle Yang, your Heavenly Eye's golden light is excellent stage lighting," Yunxiao teased with a giggle.

Yang Jian proudly lifted his head.

Immediately, the seven princesses rushed to an open space and took their positions.

Sect Master Tongtian, the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing, and others took out their instruments and accompanied the Seven Fairies.

Exquisitely beautiful music began to play, and the Seven Fairies swung their long sleeves and flowing gowns, dancing to the melody.

Yang Jian activated his Heavenly Eye, its golden light flashing, looking incredibly cool. He swayed his head, resembling a DJ.

If the great powers of the Primordial Era saw this scene, they would surely be astonished.

Sect Master Tongtian and the Jade Emperor personally accompanying, Yang Jian providing lighting, and seven noble princesses of the Heavenly Court dancing, all performing for Zhang Yifan alone.

Has this ever happened in the history of the Primordial Era?

No!

Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun never enjoyed such a privilege!

During the Witch-Demon Calamity, the Demon Emperor Heavenly Emperor did not have such treatment!

The Seven Fairies were already exceptionally beautiful and youthful, and their dance was both grand and magnificent, yet also vibrant. This made Zhang Yifan realize why monarchs might neglect their duties. He decided he must protect his seven granddaughters well in the future.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent."

As the dance concluded, Zhang Yifan applauded enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" The Seven Fairies were very happy to receive his praise.

"Seeing you all reminds me of the Seven Fairies in the Heavenly Court."

The Seven Fairies secretly giggled amongst themselves. Aren't we the Seven Fairies of the Heavenly Court!

Zhang Yifan sighed, "It's a pity for that Seventh Fairy, who was eventually tricked by a cowherd from the mortal realm and even had children with him. Such a shame."

"Ah!"

The Seven Fairies were greatly shocked.

The Jade Emperor was also surprised. Is there such a thing?

"Grandpa, what happened?" The Seventh Fairy quickly asked, knowing full well he was talking about her.

"It's like this. The Seven Fairies of the Heavenly Court secretly descended to the mortal realm and bathed in a waterfall pool. An old ox spirit told a cowherd named Dong Yong about this. So, Dong Yong went and stole the Seventh Fairy's clothes. When all the fairies left, only the Seventh Fairy had no clothes to wear."

"And Dong Yong pretended to encounter the Seventh Fairy, saying he found her clothes a few miles away."

"..."

Zhang Yifan proceeded to tell the story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

"What?!?" The Jade Emperor roared in anger. "Dong Yong was so despicable!"

"Exactly! This person is a complete scoundrel! I'll beat him every time I see him!" The Seventh Fairy was also furious. How could she possibly fall for such a scumbag!

"Old Bai!"

The Jade Emperor glared at Old Bai, his face filled with murderous intent, giving him a meaningful look.

"Young Master, I understand," Taibai Jinxing nodded heavily.

Who knows no fear, daring to lay hands on the Seventh Fairy?

Isn't this person tired of living?

Taibai Jinxing quickly and quietly departed, sending orders to all land and mountain gods in the mortal realm to track down Dong Yong and that old ox spirit.

In less than a moment, they were found.

A certain location in the mortal realm.

Dong Yong was sleeping, while the old ox spirit was still grazing.

Suddenly, Taibai Jinxing appeared with a troop of heavenly soldiers.

"Seize this old ox," Taibai Jinxing waved his hand, and the heavenly soldiers immediately surrounded the old ox spirit.

"Who are you?" The old ox spirit was greatly alarmed, scared out of its wits.

"Hmph, you're nothing more than a dish on a table, yet you dare to set your sights on my heavenly princess. Slay!"

Taibai Jinxing snorted coldly, cast a cold glance at the old ox spirit, and with a wave of his hand, unleashed a blade that directly killed the old ox spirit.

A bull's head flew high into the air. The old ox spirit was instantly annihilated, doomed to eternal damnation.

To its death, the old ox spirit never understood. It had been secretly arranged by the Western Teachings, hidden and buried in the mortal realm for hundreds of years. Its plan to humiliate the Jade Emperor before the Three Realms hadn't even had a chance to be implemented, so how was it discovered?

"My lord, how should we deal with this Dong Yong?" Heavenly soldiers quickly dragged out Dong Yong, his immortal magic rendering him unable to speak.

Dong Yong was terrified, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Sentenced to death by a thousand cuts! His soul shall be cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, never to be reborn!" Taibai Jinxing's face radiated killing intent as he directly imposed the harshest punishment upon Dong Yong.

"Yes!"

Boom.

Dong Yong was executed by a thousand cuts, and his soul was cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell to suffer eternal torment.

Neither the old ox spirit nor Dong Yong understood what was happening. Zhang Yifan had casually told a story, and Dong Yong and the old ox spirit turned to dust.

A nail hidden by the Western Teachings in the mortal realm was also removed.

"Old Master is truly a divine strategist. To know such hidden matters so clearly."

Looking at the corpse of the old ox spirit, Taibai Jinxing sighed from the bottom of his heart, "If this plan had been implemented, the Jade Emperor's reputation would have been utterly ruined."

Afterward, Taibai Jinxing collected the old ox spirit's body and vanished from the spot.

This ox was a delicious dish, so why throw it away?

He had to take it back to show respect to Master Zhang Yifan.

In the mortal realm, in Zhang Yifan's courtyard.

"Father, could you tell us again about the Primordial Calamity you mentioned last time?"

The Jade Emperor, recalling the secret tales of the Primordial Era that Zhang Yifan had spoken of before, also brought up the Primordial Calamity, and today, he couldn't help but raise the topic again.

Hearing the Jade Emperor's words, Sect Master Tongtian, the Three Xiaos, Zhao Gongming, Nuwa, Yang Jian, the Queen Mother, and others all turned their heads to look at Zhang Yifan.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but smile and ask, "Are you all very interested?"

"Very interested!" The Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, and the others all nodded.

The secret that Zhang Yifan had mentioned earlier, that the Primordial Era World could advance and Pangu's Primordial Spirit True Body could descend, had already shocked the Jade Emperor and Sect Master Tongtian and the others.

Therefore, they were naturally very interested in the secrets of the Primordial Calamity.

Saint Nuwa, however, was a little confused. The Primordial Calamity, and its secrets?

Weren't all those present eyewitnesses? What else could there be that they didn't understand?

"Alright, since you want to hear, I'll tell you."

Zhang Yifan began, "Let me ask you first. In your opinion, among all the calamities in the history of the Primordial Era, which was the biggest and most terrifying?"
