Dragon Phoenix Banquet Begins

Inside Martial Saint City, the Dragon Phoenix Banquet arrived as scheduled.

On this day, the vast Martial Saint City, which encompasses thousands of miles away, was not allowed to fly. Countless streaks of light appeared in the sky and continuously converged on a spacious plaza atop Wusheng Mountain.

Any Ancient Domain Martial Saint, as long as they are innocent and have no criminal record, regardless of their background or age, can participate in the Dragon Phoenix Banquet.

As for Martial Artist below the Martial Saint level, they could only look on with envy at the light emanating from above.

Not only were they not qualified to attend the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, but they couldn't even climb to the mountaintop plaza where the banquet was held.

It is only because of the special terrain of that mountain range that no one but Martial Saint can unravel the mystery of the trail.

At the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, the mountaintop plaza was shrouded in mist, with more than a dozen exquisite murals depicting lifelike Martial Artist figures, seemingly telling the story of the origin of the Ancient Domain Dragon Phoenix Banquet.

"Haha, Brother Li, it's been a long time!"

"Kun Guihai, I didn't expect you to come so early."

"An uncle of the Kun Family personally went south and captured a Yao God. I heard its meat is delicious and can nourish one's life-force. I certainly won't miss this opportunity..."

A large number of Martial Saint emerged from their seclusion and gathered in the square atop Mount Sumeru, chatting with their acquaintances and friends, their hearty laughter ringing out in the air.

At this moment, the garrison Garrison Commander of Tongguan Prefecture also huddled together in a corner, chatting contentedly.

Although Qian Xuan was ordered by Wu Shi to return to Tong Pass to guard the city, for some unknown reason, he also came to the Dragon Phoenix Banquet.

Yang Fan said, "Fortunately, Brother Qin allowed us to stay a few more days so that we could attend the Dragon Phoenix Banquet. I heard that in the past, even on such a grand celebration day, the garrison Garrison Commander had to guard Tong Pass and could not leave."

Qian Sanliang nodded in agreement. "Yes, we still have to thank Brother Qin. However, I heard that Demonic Cultivator have caused trouble in the Northern Domain. Brother Qin rushed there a few days ago. I wonder what the situation is?"

Shao Lian spoke up, "With Brother Qin's abilities, capturing a mere few Demonic Cultivator who are not even at the Domain Realm is quite something. I'm afraid this matter is not simple, and there is someone plotting behind it..."

Upon hearing this, the garrison Garrison Commander turned his gaze to Qian Xuan.

If we're talking about the family that least wants to see Qin Jian firmly established as the Northern Guard Deputy Prefect, then it's probably the Qian Family.

Qian Xuan's face darkened, and he said with displeasure, "Don't look at me, I know nothing about this."

Lei Buping snorted and muttered, "It's better that they don't know. If they did, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to keep their position as Garrison Commander."

Qian Xuan was instantly enraged. "You barbarian Lei, you're getting more and more outrageous! Do you have a death wish...?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Gai Duanjian quickly reassured Yu: "Alright, everyone here is a fellow Garrison Commander, let's not make a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders."

Qian Xuan felt that the garrison Garrison Commander of the battlefield were deliberately targeting him, so he snorted coldly and left without lingering, turning back into the Qian Family's Martial Saint team.

"You see, it's not that I, Old Lei, am targeting him; it's just that our Second Town Guardian is a loner..."

Fufeng gazed at his retreating figure and slowly said, "Brother Qian wasn't like this before."

Qian Xuan remained unmoved, Lei Buping spoke even more fearlessly, "I think it's just a failed scheme, their true nature has been revealed..."

As time passed, more and more Martial Saint gathered in this Ancient Domain. Looking around, there were thousands of people everywhere.

Of these Martial Saint, Martial Saint in the lower three realms accounted for half of the total.

Because most Ancient Domain Martial Saint used the True Qi Ascension Method to reach the Martial Saint, the middle three realm Martial Saint were basically all at the sixth realm perfection stage.

As for the Martial Saint of the three realms beyond the Domain, there are very few of them, currently less than twenty in the field.

This shows that even among the Martial Saint of the Ancient Domain, there are not many Martial Saint at the Domain Realm.

Just then, a figure on the horizon dragged a Hundred-Zhang Blue Loach Poison Dragon and crashed down from the sky. Blue dragon blood splattered, instantly corroding the jade slab beneath their feet, creating pits and small holes.

The Hundred-Zhang Blue Loach Poison Dragon was not completely dead; its massive body continued to writhe, and its painful roars echoed throughout the Dragon Phoenix Banquet Square.

The figure flashed above the giant dragon horn of the Blue Loach Poison Dragon, amplifying his voice with True Qi: "Qian Baisheng of the Qian Family has slain a Yao God to celebrate the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, which I present to you all for your enjoyment."

Immediately, someone in the crowd exclaimed in amazement, "Brother Sheng, you are truly skilled! This Blue Loach Poison Dragon is a powerful demon Yao God from the Outer Realm, second only to the Heaven-Piercing Demon God. To be able to capture it alive, it seems that Brother Sheng has already reached the Domain Realm."

Qian Baisheng cupped his hands in greeting. "You flatter me. Before this demon dies, let's all dig in, lest the dragon meat be tainted by its demonic aura."

"Haha, then we won't be polite..."

Numerous Martial Saint flashed their figures and landed around the Hundred-Zhang Blue Loach Poison Dragon, beginning to cut and eat the bloody dragon meat.

The Blue Loach Poison Dragon felt as if it were being torn to pieces, and screamed in agony.

Its bloodshot eyes scanned the many Martial Saint around it as it struggled desperately. Unfortunately, under the suppression of the power of ' Qian Heaven ', all its actions were in vain, and it could only watch helplessly as it was eaten alive by the group of humans.

Seeing this, Yang Fan, You Huoli, and the other Garrison Commander also stepped forward to cut up and eat the dragon meat.

The Dragon Phoenix Banquet, as the name suggests, involves consuming dragon and phoenix meat.

Therefore, at each Dragon Phoenix Banquet, powerful Martial Saint would hunt down unruly dragon and phoenix Yao God from the surrounding Ancient Domain to celebrate the Dragon Phoenix Banquet.

At that time, the corpse of a dragon-like Yao God was extremely valuable, and anyone who did so would receive praise from the Ancient Domain Martial Saint, which was equivalent to gaining fame in some way.

Although dragon meat is raw, it tastes quite good.

Faced with the enormous body of the Blue Loach Poison Dragon, thousands of Martial Saint, though small in size, each possessed a voracious appetite. In just a few minutes, half of the Blue Loach Poison Dragon dragon's body was devoured, leaving only bones.

Some impoverished Martial Artist who were lucky enough to reach the Martial Saint realm would not forget to collect dragon blood and hide dragon scales while eating dragon meat.

After eating and drinking their fill, many first and second realm Martial Saint sat down to meditate and begin refining the dragon blood and flesh inside their bellies.

Upon tasting the food, these Martial Saint were generous with their praise, shouting, "The Qian Family truly lives up to its reputation as an old and established family in the Ancient Domain. Such a righteous act should serve as a model for the Ancient Domain!"

"You flatter me..."

After the Blue Loach Poison Dragon died completely, Qian Baisheng hurriedly collected the materials, such as the Yao God Heart and Dragon Eyes, which had not yet been tainted by the demonic energy.

For the Dragon and Monster Dragon Phoenix Banquet, only the dragon meat needs to be offered; the other precious materials from the demon can be taken back upon offering.

Following Qian Baisheng, a black phoenix with most of its feathers fallen off and covered in blood was thrown out and crashed onto the jade floor with a loud thud.

A dashing figure dressed in white landed on the Fire Phoenix.

"The Tai Shang Family's Tai Shangyuan, with a Black Cry Phoenix, the Yao God, is presented to you all for your enjoyment at the Dragon Phoenix Banquet."

"Tai Shangyuan, I heard that this person is not yet fifty years old and is the pride of the previous generation of young people. I never thought that he would step into the Domain Realm so quickly. It is truly unbelievable."

"Young Master Taishang is truly righteous. This Black Cry Phoenix has been hiding in the remote mountains of the Ancient Domain for years, feeding on the people of our Ancient Domain. Today, it's time for it to see what it's like to become food."

Soon, a group of Martial Saint gathered around the Black Cry Phoenix, plucking its feathers and tearing off its flesh to eat.

However, compared to the poisonous dragon meat from before, this phoenix meat was too astringent and extremely difficult to eat.

However, since it was the flesh and blood of Yao God, which was very nourishing to the physical body, most of the low-level Martial Saint were not picky and quickly began to fight over it.

Following the two demon gods, several more Yao God Martial Saint the Domain Realm descended, dragging their dying remains to the ground, offering them to the people in hopes of gaining fame in the Ancient Domain.

These include Kun Pipa, a veteran martial saint from the Kun family, and Bei Mingli from the Li family, among other renowned martial saints.

These Martial Saint are basically the best among the seventh realm Martial Saint, and their strength is comparable to that of Fufeng, Huang Xian and other Garrison Commander.

And so, most of the first day of the Dragon Phoenix Banquet had passed.

On the Jade Square, the corpses of seven or eight Great Fiend gods lay scattered all around, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.

As night fell, dozens of Grand Light streaked across the western horizon like dazzling meteors.

As these Martial Saint approached, powerful Martial Saint emanated from them, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The Martial Saint, who had been exchanging pleasantries and secretly competing with each other, all stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

The leader was an old man with flowing white hair, dressed in an ancient robe, exuding a mysterious aura. Behind him, dozens of Martial Saint with equally extraordinary auras were arranged in a fan shape, their imposing presence overwhelming.

Wu Shi was one of them, standing behind Lao Zi.

This old man is the current mayor of Martial Saint City, known as the Zun Sheng. He is the person in charge of the Ancient Domain, jointly recommended by the mayor of Tongguan Prefecture and the ancestors of various Martial Dao Aristocratic Families.

"We have met Your Zun Sheng!"

Thousands of Martial Saint at Jade Square performed a uniform salute.

The Zun Sheng descended slowly, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue. He nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It has been many years since I attended the Dragon Phoenix Banquet. Today, I am delighted to see such a lively and extraordinary event."

After glancing at the numerous Yao God corpses beside him, the Zun Sheng nodded again. "Indeed, the number of Yao God is more than the previous times. It seems that everyone has enjoyed a good meal at this Dragon Phoenix Banquet. However, since you have participated in the Dragon Phoenix Banquet, you should know Dragon Phoenix Banquet origin."

"Back when Lord Gu Xianhe founded the Ancient Domain, he took in two Heaven-Piercing Demon God, a dragon and a phoenix. These two demons were spared, and by all accounts, they should have repaid the Ancient Domain for their kindness. However, after Lord Gu Xianhe passed away, this dragon and phoenix openly rebelled against the Ancient Domain, collaborating with Monster from the Outer Realm to devour hundreds of thousands of people from our Ancient Domain..."

"Later, the dragon and phoenix were suppressed, the demonic threat was quelled, and our Ancient Domain was finally spared the crisis of annihilation..."

After a pause, the Zun Sheng swept his gaze across the crowd and continued, "Perhaps many of you Martial Saint believe that eating raw dragon and phoenix meat is unacceptable, a barbaric act. But the Dragon Phoenix Banquet is merely a formality, and eating raw demon flesh is also a formality. The significance of this feast is to remind you all that Monster can never be trusted. Since they can eat us, we can also use them as food, turning them into martial resources..."

"Alright, today's phase of eating raw dragon and phoenix meat is over. There will be a banquet later tonight, and I will spend the first night of the Dragon Phoenix Banquet with you all..."

As the Zun Sheng finished speaking, some maids who had been specially brought up hurriedly cleaned up the demon remains and scraps of flesh on the square and began to set up the venue.

These maids were well-trained and moved quickly and nimbly, cleaning the square spotless in no time.
