Then Divine King Jiang Taixu, the Merak Great Saint Weiyi, and the saint from Qishi Mansion arrived. Even Li Ruoyu of Clumsy Peak, who had not appeared in a long time, showed himself.
Before long, the atmosphere grew lively. Everyone exchanged toasts and chatted over drinks.
Hundreds of thousands of years had passed, and everyone was delighted to reunite with old friends.
Ji Hao looked dazed. Although everyone was happy, no one could understand how he felt.
Heaven and earth had been overturned, the vast seas had surged across the land, and a million years had passed since their parting. To meet again after all that was truly a wondrous feeling.
"Woof! Why do I feel like you've become even more unfathomable?" Big Black Dog sidled over, his large face drooping and his red tongue hanging out as he stared at Ji Hao.
Ji Hao smiled faintly without answering. This body of his had already reached the Quasi-Immortal King level. As for its combat strength, even his true self found it difficult to gauge precisely.
He now understood clearly that the Black Emperor before him was the little pup who had once served Immortal King Wuzhong.
That awareness came from a perception transcending karma and destiny. Like the methods of Burial Scholars, he had lived another life amid deathly stillness-a True Immortal reborn, in a sense.
"Blessings of Heavenly Venerable Wuliang! Fellow Daoist, your strength must have advanced greatly. Congratulations!"
Duan De was still broad and plump. He had buried himself for another lifetime, and in the twilight of this life, he had recalled his previous existence. He had come specifically to catch up with old friends, never expecting to stumble upon such a fine occasion, and joined the Peach of Immortality Feast with a beaming smile.
