"Senior Brother Changshou, you and I will take on the responsibility of leading the team today. Next, we should work together to protect the reputation of our Duxian Gate."
"Yes, Junior Sister Youqin is right."
"Senior Brother Changshou, before we left, the Elder instructed us that a few Heaven Immortal seniors in the sect will be going to the main platform, and we will be going to the viewing platform. During this period, it will be easy for trouble to occur. We have to be careful."
"Yes, Junior Sister Youqin is right."
"Senior Brother Changshou, has your cultivation been smooth these few years?"
"Yes, Junior Sister Youqin is very … My cultivation has been alright. It's been quite smooth."
Li Changshou replied with a smile and added in his heart,
"It's all thanks to Junior Sister Toxic that you have been punished to reflect on your mistakes in seclusion."
Youqin Genya pursed her thin lips. She could not find a new topic at that moment, but she tried her best to continue the conversation …
Unfortunately, most of her life experience was cultivation. She could not possibly memorize a Dao scripture on the spot.
Perhaps because she was having a hard time thinking, Li Changshou took the initiative to say, "Rest up first. Junior Sister Youqin, you will have to bear heavy responsibilities later."
"Yes." Youqin Genya nodded and closed her eyes to rest. Her pursed lips relaxed, and she regained her usual coldness.
Because of Li Changshou's words, the young disciples who were secretly observing them felt comfortable with Li Changshou's self-awareness …
After flying for four hours, they were still quite a distance away from the Coast of the East Ocean. The group from Duxian Gate met seven to eight teams representing immortal sects.
In order to respond to the invitation from the Donghai Dragon Palace, the various immortal sects who had received the invitation had secretly discussed many matters.
For example, the scale of the teams this time was about ten disciples and ten Perfected Immortals. There were about thirty people in total.
This would make it seem that the human Qi Refinement cultivators did not attach much importance to the Demon-Sweeping Meet this time. They were only here to give the Dragon Palace some face.
Another example would be the sparring during the meet. They would try their best to avoid bloodshed. The immortal sects would also have to temporarily suppress their grudges. They could not let the Dragons see them as a joke.
There were many similar agreements.
The main purpose of these immortal sects setting up these agreements was to prevent the human Qi Refinement cultivators from losing face in front of the Dragons, and to display the bearing of the current protagonists of the world.
There was a slightly strange rule — the young disciples sent by the various immortal sects had to be below the age of 150.
Why?
Most of the young disciples were puzzled and did not dare to ask. However, Li Changshou knew a thing or two about it.
Dragons' eggs needed to be incubated for at least 150 years before they would hatch. It was equivalent to the young dragons cultivating in their eggs.
The young dragons of the Dragon Palace had extraordinary strength the moment they hatched from their shells. They could become immortals after cultivating for a hundred years. If they had the bloodline of the Dragon King, they would have powerful accompanying supernatural powers.
According to previous experiences of similar events, the Dragon Palace would always send out the young dragons to show off their prowess and taunt the human Qi Practitioners.
As long as the young disciples of the various sects were under a hundred and fifty years old, if they won against these young dragons, they would naturally be more skilled and the immortal sects would be happy. If they lost, it would not be considered a loss of face …
The light from providence of the human race gathered in the South Continent, while the experts of the human Qi Practitioners gathered in the Middle Continent.
If the immortal sects of the East Continent could not raise their heads in front of the Dragon Palace, they would also be blamed by the major sects of the Middle Continent. That was why the immortal sects of the East Continent cared so much about their pride.
As they approached the Coast of the East Ocean, the sky was filled with white clouds with immortal light.
Although there were countless immortal sects in the East Continent, there were less than a hundred sects that were qualified to receive the invitation from the Dragon Palace.
However, in order to draw a clear border of the East Ocean this time, the Dragon Palace did not only invite the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools, which had deep foundations like the Duxian Gate, but also invited the various immortal sects in the long and narrow area at the edge of the East Ocean.
As a result, even if each immortal sect only sent 30 people, there would still be many people attending the event. The sky near the venue of the event was a little …
Blocked by clouds.
The disciples of the Duxian Gate had already stood up. Youqin Genya had also returned to her original position, ready to listen to the instructions of the Aunt-Masters in front of her.
Li Changshou did not look around. He only stood quietly in the corner, looking down and listening.
A disciple in front exclaimed in admiration.
"As expected of the Demon-Sweeping Meet organized by the Dragon Palace. Tens of thousands of immortals have come. It's very grand."
"All the sects have to give the Dragon Palace face. After all, they are one of the three ancient clans."
A male immortal turned around and reprimanded, "Be careful with your words and look around!
Don't count people's footsteps in other people's territory. It's a taboo! "
"Yes, I misspoke. Aunt-Master, please don't blame me."
Another female disciple suddenly said, "Is that the venue of the event?"
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and immediately let out exclamations of admiration.
Li Changshou also looked at the horizon and could not help but raise his eyebrows.
How grand.
What an array formation!
In the southeast direction, on the surface of the sea, which was an unknown distance away from them, stood an extremely huge waterspout.
This waterspout was like the long stem of a lotus flower. It transported a huge amount of seawater into the sky and spread it out to form a huge water lotus platform.
The waterspout was fixed by immortal power and stood there unmoving. The water lotus platform above it was stable and wide, and it was surrounded by clouds. It was like a paradise on the sea.
That was the main venue of the Demon-Sweeping Meet.
A Perfected Immortal in the sect laughed and teased, "The Dragon Palace has never disappointed us when it comes to such grand events."
Upon hearing that, Li Changshou laughed softly and looked at Aunt-Master Jiujiu, who was standing beside a few female immortals.
Along the way, Aunt-Master Jiujiu seemed to have changed into a different person. She was extremely quiet. Not only did she not touch the small gourd at her waist, but she also did not dare to speak much.
After all, her Master was right above her.
It had to be said that this Little Aunt-Master was really obedient and delightful.
He had been "collaborating" with Aunt-Master Jiu to refine pills and set up array formations for the past few years. The more he interacted with her, the more he felt that this Aunt-Master could only be described with one word —
It was a pity that she could speak.
Ahem, just kidding, just kidding.
The closer they got to the waterspout and the lotus platform, the more they could feel the majesty of the scene. The people traveling with them could not help but sigh at the Dragon Palace's generosity.
There was a dense mass of prawn soldiers and crab generals standing on the surface of the sea. These soldiers could not be compared to the small demons that Lan Ling 'e had killed previously. Their auras were condensed.
Even the weakest prawn soldier's aura was comparable to that of a Dao Requital Realm cultivator. It was obvious that these were the elites of the Dragon Palace's navy.
At that moment, the Celestial Court was penniless. The Heavenly River Palace did not have any soldiers or generals. Thus, the position of the Grand Marshal of the Celestial Court's navy was set up in name only. The most powerful navy in the world was the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.
As the white clouds approached the water lotus, the five-kilometer-wide waterspout emitted a series of dragon roars.
Dozens of dragons of different colors rushed out of the waterspout and flew up and down the waterspout!
Layers of water curtains fell from the edge of the lotus platform. Under the illumination of the sun, rainbows hung everywhere in the sky.
Then, they looked at the water lotus platform. Many figures flew up into the sky. There were at least 3,000 of them.
They were Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers of the Dragon Race dressed in silver-white armor. Most of them had humanoid appearances, dark skin, and dragon horns on their heads.
Their original bodies were Immortal Dragons with similar bloodlines. They were also the main fighting force of the Dragon Palace and had been famous since ancient times.
The 3,000 Immortal Flood Dragons were evenly distributed around the water lotus platform. They were responsible for maintaining the order of the Demon-Sweeping Meet.
After the Immortal Flood Dragon troops stood still in the air, they released their auras. They were all at the Perfected Immortal Realm, which made the scene even more spectacular. It had a huge impact on the human cultivators.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse in the Dragon race …
They could not become enemies, but they did not have to be kind either. It was best not to have any karma with them.
Li Changshou pondered this.
A senior sister in front asked, "Does the Dragon Palace attach so much importance to this meet?"
A female Perfected Immortal in the front chuckled and replied softly, "The Dragon Palace likes to flaunt their power and prestige. Actually, who doesn't know the predicament the Dragons are in now?"
Upon hearing the word "predicament", Li Changshou thought more about it.
From the Dragons' current performance, the Dragons, the former overlords of the world, were not willing to be left out.
Look at the Dragons, who were so eager to be strong but could still be considered strong …
Then, he thought about the cautious Celestial Court's rain tools after the God Conferment …
After the Celestial Court became strong, the Dragons would be killed if they went against the rules of heaven and made a few wrong raindrops. The dragon's liver and phoenix's marrow would become the Jade Emperor's regular immortal dishes …
What kind of tragedy did the three ancient giants experience before and after the God Conferment?
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He was determined not to go out and explore until he reached the Zenith Heaven realm!
Although the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was still far away, he had to start making preparations now.
Li Changshou stood on the cloud and pondered quietly. The white cloud in the Duxian Gate floated to the front of the water lotus platform along with dozens of other white clouds …
Immediately, a golden tortoise flew out from the water lotus platform.
There were two "Turtle Ministers" standing on the back of the golden turtle. They were both dressed in red embroidered robes and had turtle shells on their bodies. At the end of their necks was a small head, and they looked a little comical.
The turtle man on the left cleared his throat and waved the small folding fan in his hand. He spoke in a warm, mellow, and masculine voice.
"Heaven Immortals and elders, please head to the superior-grade immortal platform."
Was this the legendary … Voice of the Dragon Palace?
Then, the turtle man on the right shouted with a sharp and ear-piercing voice.
"Disciples of the various immortal sects, please enter the arena!
Tables and chairs have been prepared on the viewing platform. The top-ranked immortal sects of the East Continent have signs. Look carefully!
If you don't know how to read, you can ask the maidservants!
Those who are ranked at the bottom and don't have a sign can go to the back and find a place to sit! "
He looked like a worker with the same surname in a brothel in the mortal world.
"Pfft …"
Jiujiu, who had been quiet the entire way, could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. The people at the Duxian Gate were also amused by the two turtle immortals.
There were so many turtles.
The people at the Duxian Gate naturally did not have to worry about not having a seat. Not only that, but their seats were at the front.
At that moment, Exalted Wang Qing and a few Heaven Immortal elders flew to the high platform in the sky.
The 16 Perfected Immortals in the sect protected the disciples. They abandoned the white cloud and flew towards the seating area of the Duxian Gate.
There was no need for the two leaders, Li Changshou and Youqin Genya …
The various immortal sects had previously discussed and each sent thirty people over. The Dragon Palace obviously knew about this matter. They only prepared twenty-five meditation cushions and twenty-five short tables in the seating area of each immortal sect.
There were also twenty-five sets of fruits and tea.
However, that was just a small matter. A few female disciples took out meditation cushions and made up two tables. Just like that, they managed to get by.
On the other hand, the treatment of the small immortal sects was rather shabby. There were only rows of stone meditation cushions and no short tables, let alone good wine and fresh fruits.
Li Changshou sat at the corner of the seating area of the Duxian Gate. Beside him stood one of the clam girls who served the people at the Duxian Gate.
He glanced at the fruits and wine in front of him and exclaimed in his heart. He picked up a crystal grape and sized it up before throwing it into his mouth.
The good-looking clam girl at the side immediately covered her mouth and chuckled. However, she did not say anything and secretly sized up Li Changshou.
Soon, Li Changshou opened his mouth and burped. He had already confirmed what it was.
The Dragon Palace was so extravagant in teasing people. They directly gave everyone at the Duxian Gate a portion of the Frozen Immortal Grape, which was known as the Postnatal Small Spirit Root.
Looking closely at the area of the other sects, it was another type of immortal grape.
The Frozen Immortal Grape was good stuff. Consuming a small amount could nourish the Qi Refinement cultivator's Primordial Spirit, regulate the Qi Refinement cultivator's Qi, and had a better healing effect on the injured. Moreover, the taste was excellent and it was expensive.
However, there was a flaw. It was easy to … have a false Qi … in other words, the back door would be lost and the Qi would leak out.
Moreover, the aftereffects were continuous and hard to endure. Even immortals could not defend against it.
Li Changshou thought for a while and reminded Youqin Genya …
"Junior Sister Youqin, before you eat these things, go and ask the Martial Uncles and Martial Aunts if there's a problem.
I see that a few of our fellow disciples have already started to eat.
Don't say that I'm reminding you. Just say that you feel that something is wrong. "
Youqin Genya blinked and turned to look at Li Changshou. The white onion fairy was pinching a peeled grape and putting it into her mouth. She even tilted her head slightly.
Li Changshou, "…"
Alright, pretend that we didn't mention this.
