One morning in May of the year 3231 of the Great Tang Calendar, the sun shone brilliantly in a cloudless sky. Colorful flags fluttered throughout Peach Garden City, and immortal music drifted through the air, filling the city with festive cheer!
Across the firmament, countless cultivators raced toward the city aboard flying magical artifacts and demon beasts.
The roads surrounding Peach Garden City were even busier, packed with surging crowds as numerous cultivators sped toward the city on spirit beasts of every kind.
Today was the auspicious day of the Liu Household's Golden Core Celebration. Most of the cultivators coming to Peach Garden City had come to attend the celebration and hear Golden Core True Persons expound on the Dao.
Because of the flight-prohibiting restrictions of Peach Garden City's city-defense grand formation, cultivators below the Golden Core stage had to enter the city on foot through its gates.
Thus, once these low-level cultivators arrived above Peach Garden City, they obediently landed and entered through the gates, forming long queues outside.
Meanwhile, on Peach Blossom Mountain, the Ceremony Emcee's announcements rang out without pause!
With so many guests attending the ceremony, the Ceremony Emcee announced names and gifts only for cultivators at Foundation Establishment or above. Qi Refinement cultivators and those from Qi Refinement lineages who came to offer congratulations were merely registered.
There was no helping it. Far too many cultivators from Foundation Establishment and Golden Core lineages had come to today's Golden Core Celebration.
