As soon as the Feast of Peaches was announced, the whole Celestial Court became lively. In order to ensure that the Feast of Peaches would be held smoothly, Haotian and the Jade Lake had put in a lot of effort to prepare. This Feast of Peaches was a great opportunity to revitalize the reputation of the Celestial Court and recruit talents. They could not afford to make any mistakes.
The parties who received the invitations also tried their best to prepare congratulatory gifts. This might be the first big gathering of the Immortals in the Great Desolation. Although the Celestial Court was the main character, they did not want to be impolite, or to be inferior to others.
Forty-nine days later, the Celestial Court shone brightly. Countless Immortals flew to the Southern Heaven Gate in groups. At this time, Taibai Jinxing was already waiting for them at the Southern Heaven Gate. As the general manager of the Celestial Court, he was not supposed to be the one to welcome the guests. However, some of the guests were of noble status, so Haotian could not welcome them in person. Therefore, Taibai Jinxing had to do it for him.
At this time, in the Jade Lake Fairyland, the sky was full of auspicious clouds, and the scenery was bright. Fragrant mist filled the air, and the wind blew gently. In front of the court, there were flowers and trees in spring. Unicorns and phoenixes were leaping and playing with fish and dragons. The seats for the guests were filled with delicious food and immortal fruits.
As more and more guests entered, the entire Jade Lake Wonderland became lively. The guests sat together in groups of three to five, sitting and discussing. However, some of the seats at the front were obviously empty. The real guests hadn't arrived yet.
Several Immortals sat together and discussed in a low voice. Immortal A said, "Why do you think the Jade Emperor organized this Feast of Peaches?" This Immortal was cultivating in seclusion all year round, so he did not know much about the outside world.
Immortal B replied, "It's because of the war between the Human Tribe and the Dragon Tribe. The Jade Emperor wanted to protect the Dragon Tribe, but the Four Ancestors of the Human Tribe did not give him face, especially Wu Zu of the Human Tribe. Not only did he not give face to the Jade Emperor, but he also fought with the Jade Emperor. I heard that he was slightly better. The Jade Emperor lost face, and the reputation of the Celestial Court was damaged.
Immortal C said in a low voice, "Be careful. This is the Celestial Court. It's not something we should talk about. If someone hears it, we may get into trouble. We can't afford to offend either the Celestial Court or the Human Tribe."
Immortal B said, "Yes, the Human Tribe is. By the way, I heard that the Celestial Court also invited the Human Tribe.... Do you think the Human Tribe will come? If the human race sends someone here, how do you think the Heavenly Court and the dragon race will react? "
"Here comes the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother." With a loud shout, Haotian and Yaochi landed gracefully. Seeing them, the guests all knelt down. Although they did not belong to the Celestial Court, strictly speaking, Haotian was in charge of the entire Great Desolation. He deserved their respect.
After Haotian and Yaochi sat down, they looked at the empty seats in front of them. They could only wait patiently for a while. After all, there was still some time before the Feast of Peaches began. Although they knew that the Sages might not come, the disciples of the Sages would definitely come.
"Here comes the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas." With a loud shout, the Dragon Tribe of the Four Seas led some juniors into Yaochi. When they saw Haotian and Yaochi, they all knelt down and said, "Greetings, Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. The Dragon Tribe of the Four Seas presents four Innate Lingbao to the Feast of Peaches."
Four Innate Lingbao! The guests who came to attend the feast were all shocked. Although the Dragon Tribe only presented low-class Innate Lingbao, it was enough to show that the Dragon Tribe had a lot of treasures. After all, they were the dominators of the Great Desolation in the past.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were also very satisfied with the guests' reaction. In the past, the Dragon Tribe suffered a great loss in reputation because of the Human Tribe's invasion of the Dragon Tribe. This time, the Dragon Tribe wanted to use the Feast of Peaches to show their strength, so that the whole Great Desolation would not look down on them.
Haotian was even more surprised. Although he was the Master of the Celestial Court, to be honest, he did not have many Innate Lingbao. He did not expect that the Dragon Tribe would present four low-class Innate Lingbao at once. Of course, he was very happy. He said with a smile, "You are so considerate.
Please take a seat. "" Here comes Immortal Zhen Yuan! "With a loud shout, Zhen Yuanzi walked in with several disciples. Haotian and Yaochi saw him and stood up to greet him," Welcome, Daoist Friend Zhen Yuanzi. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you. " Zhen Yuanzi's status was different from others. He was a guest of the Purple Cloud Palace and the owner of the Earth Immortal's Mansion. He was on the same level as Haotian.
Zhen Yuanzi said, "Greetings, Daoist Friend Hao Tendo and Daoist Friend Yaochi. The Poor Way presents nine Ginseng Fruits to you. Congratulations on holding the Feast of Peaches. Please accept them." The nine Ginseng Fruits were presented. Each of them was as small as a baby and looked very attractive.
Haotian smiled and asked someone to take the Ginseng Fruits. He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Daoist Friend Zhen Yuan, you have given me a lot of face by coming here. How can I reject them? Please take a seat, Daoist Friend." Last time, when Zhen Yuanzi opened his mansion, he only sent Taibai Jinxing. Today, Zhen Yuanzi came in person, which indeed gave Haotian a lot of face.
"Ling Zhuzi, hey, hey, don't pull my beard!" At this time, Taibai Jinxing's voice came. The guests were all surprised. Who was Ling Zhuzi? How dare he be so rude at the Feast of Peaches? It was a slap in Haotian's face.
Haotian was also a little angry. The Feast of Peaches hadn't started yet, but this had already happened. When he was about to lose his temper, he saw a seven or eight year old child bouncing in. He looked around all the way as if he was curious about everything.
Ling Zhuzi ran to Haotian and said with a smile, "Greetings, Jade Emperor. My Lady asked me to come here. This is …" Ling Zhuzi searched his body for a while and found something. He said with a smile, "My Lady asked me to bring this." He sounded very sincere, but it would be better if he didn't look around.
Haotian looked at Ling Zhuzi and raised his eyebrows. Apparently, he was a little speechless. Who was this child? How could they ask him to come here? At this time, Taibai Jinxing hurried in. Seeing Ling Zhuzi looking around, he hurriedly said to Haotian, "Jade Emperor, Ling Zhuzi is a child under Goddess Nüwa."
Uh, just as Haotian was about to reprimand Ling Zhuzi, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back by Taibai Jinxing's words. Wasn't scolding Ling Zhuzi obviously slapping Goddess Nuwa's face? He could only put on a smile and said, "Ling Zhuzi, please thank Goddess Nüwa for me. Take a seat!"
Haotian took the gift from Ling Zhuzi and found that it was a Middle-grade Primordial Lingbao. He was delighted. This Sage was really rich. Daozu must have gotten a lot of Primordial Lingbao from the Treasure-snatching Rock. It was a pity that he was not qualified to rob it.
When Ling Zhuzi saw that Hao Tian had accepted the gift, he jumped around and wanted to find a seat to sit down. When Taibai Jinxing saw this, he immediately went forward and led him to Goddess Nuwa's seat. He could not sit anywhere. It would be bad if he caused trouble.
After arranging Ling Zhuzi, Taibai Jinxing returned to his seat to welcome the guests. "Xuanming Zu Wu of the Wu people is here." When Xuanming Zu Wu appeared, the guests were stunned. After thousands of years, the Wu people had gradually faded out of their sight. But now, when Xuanming Zu Wu came, they remembered that there was still a Zu Wu of the Wu people.
Xuanming Zu Wu said coldly, "My sister can't come because she is in charge of the Nether World. I'm here to congratulate you on behalf of my sister. This is a gift from the Wu people. Please accept it." He raised his hand and another Middle-grade Primordial Lingbao fell into Haotian's hand.
Haotian did not care about Xuanming Zu Wu's tone. Xuanming Zu Wu was born this way. He made a gesture of invitation and let Xuanming Zu Wu take a seat. In a short while, Xuanming received six Primordial Lingbao. Haotian was very excited. It seemed that the Feast of Peaches would be held frequently. But it was just a thought. After all, this was the first time, and he was afraid that there would not be such a good gift in the future.
"Pharmacist and Maitreya of the Western Religious Sect are here!" Pharmacist and Maitreya came in with dozens of junior fellow apprentices. Everyone was stunned. They did not expect that so many people from the Western Religious Sect would come at once. They were speechless.
When Pharmacist and Maitreya saw Haotian, they clasped their hands and bowed, "Pharmacist (Maitreya) greets the Jade Emperor. Master ordered us to come and congratulate you. This is the gift he prepared." It was another Primordial Lingbao, but it was only a low-grade one. Even so, it was given by Zhunti reluctantly.
Haotian was speechless at Zhunti's stinginess. He sent so many disciples and only gave a low-grade Primordial Lingbao as a gift. How stingy! But he could not say anything. He could only ask people to arrange seats for Pharmacist and Maitreya. Because there were not enough seats, he specially added more. There was no other way.
