After distributing the rewards for wartime merit, Liu Changxu held a banquet of unprecedented scale at the lineage grounds on Cloudreach Mountain at noon on April 19, Year 38732 of the Great Qi Immortal Calendar, to celebrate their victory in the Demon-Resistance War.
All members of the Liu Lineage attended, young and old gathering amid endless laughter and cheerful conversation.
Also present were important figures from the various subordinate powers attached to the Liu Household, as well as representatives sent by neighboring top-tier cultivation powers such as the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty and the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty.
The fragrance of immortal wine drifted through the banquet, where exquisite delicacies were arrayed in abundance. Guests from every faction raised their cups in celebration and freely discussed the gains and losses of the battle. For a time, all of Cloudreach Mountain rang with laughter.
