C1436 Great Luo Banquet Great Luo Immortal
Ever since Yang Junshan became the Golden Body Celestial Sovereign and left the Circulatory World, he had an extremely deep feeling that even though the outer space was vast and boundless, the density of the surrounding spiritual energy was actually much higher than that of the Circulatory World.
In fact, it could even be described as extremely rare. However, the Circulatory World contained the world's origin energy, which far surpassed the alien space, and after a cultivator had passed through the tribulation of thunder, he would be able to absorb the heaven and earth origin energy from the Circulatory World for cultivation.
Although the Heaven and Earth Source Energy was not easy to obtain in the Circulatory World, it was at least a hundred times better than the alien starry sky.
From Yang Junshan's point of view, this was probably one of the reasons why the great sacred art users of the foreign lands tried their best to invade and break the Circulatory World.
It was unknown how many years of existence the Jadeite Bamboo Forest had accumulated. To the thirty-six immortals, it might not even take two hours, but in reality, it was equivalent to the amount of heaven and earth essences an immortal sovereign could condense and refine within three to two years.
From this, it could be seen that the greeting gift was very heavy!
It was no wonder that all the immortals in the bamboo forest stood up after the release of the Heaven and Earth Source Spirit. They all said to Yan Zong Sheng in unison, "Thank you, Sect Leader Yan for your generosity!"
The Yan Xin Yuan Sect sage called for all the immortals to take a seat, and the disciples of the Confucian Garden began to move. All sorts of spiritual fruits and immortal wine flowed out like water, for the immortals of the bamboo forest to enjoy.
After the various deities wished the Yan Zong Sage to ascend to the Great Luo Immortal Realm and obtain the title of sage, with the command of the Yan Zong Sage, the Great Luo Immortal Banquet officially began.
As they chatted, the immortals began to introduce and communicate with each other. There were stories about the stars, cultivation methods of sparring and divine abilities, as well as their intentions to cooperate. All of these things were accomplished in a seemingly relaxed and casual manner.
This was the first time Yang Junshan had seen something like this. Although it wasn't particularly suitable for him, he was still able to deal with it. Even Zhong Kui was busy conversing with a few unknown celestial sovereign's so he couldn't be bothered with it. Yang Junshan also got to know a few celestial sovereign's, and they had a short conversation.
Yang Junshan quickly realized the benefits of joining this banquet. Every celestial sovereign here had a legendary experience, and some gossip and anecdotes could help increase one's experience, and some discussions about the difficulties encountered in the course of cultivation would also often enlighten them. Even a few points of view would make one feel refreshed, and this alone made Yang Junshan feel that this trip was worthwhile.
Yang Junshan had been in the Golden Body Immortal Realm for more than 300 years. Compared to these alien deities, his power was not inferior in the slightest, and might even surpass them in some ways.
However, in terms of experience and knowledge, Yang Junshan had to admit that compared to these elderly Immortals from other realms, they were still a far cry.
Now, in this Immortal Banquet, Yang Junshan was listening attentively in every direction, so he didn't need to listen too much …
In this banquet, Yang Junshan was like a dry sponge, tirelessly absorbing all the information about the alien space world and beyond, using it to make up for his weak experience and background.
However, there was a piece of news that was mentioned by many deities in the conversation that caught Yang Junshan's attention.
At that moment, Zhong Kui came to Yang Junshan's side from an unknown place and asked in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Yang, did you hear that news?"
Yang Junshan was a little surprised, "But the news about the 27th world has already appeared?"
Zhong Kui nodded. He placed a cup of Ice and Fire Nine Brewing Wine into his mouth and asked, "Did you clearly see the news?"
Yang Junshan was surprised that Zhong Kui had asked such a question, but he said, "I don't know. Could it be that Mr Zhong suspects this information to be false?"
Zhong Kui shook his head as he laughed, "I wouldn't lie. However, the person who released this information has an ulterior motive, which is worth pondering over."
Yang Junshan looked at Zhong Kui's unfathomable expression and thought mockingly, "Could it be that Mr Zhong has already understood the intention of the person who secretly released this information?"
Zhong Kui pointed toward the bamboo forest with the empty cup in his hand and asked, "Has Fellow Daoist Yang noticed any differences in the identities of the thirty-six deities in the bamboo forest?"
Yang Junshan's gaze swept across all the deities in the bamboo forest without leaving a trace. He didn't stay on any deity for even an instant, this way it wouldn't cause any misunderstandings or warnings from others. He shook his head and said, "But I can't tell."
Zhong Kui lowered his head to look at the empty cup in his hand as though it was a casual gesture. "Among the thirty-six immortals in the Great Luo Immortal Banquet, the Confucian clan has at least seven or eight."
Yang Junshan thought for a while and said, "That should be alright. After all, Yan Xinyuan is from the Confucian clan. Naturally, he has to take care of my clan's cultivators during the Great Luo Immortal Banquet."
Zhong Kui shook his head with a mocking smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, take a closer look at these cultivators that were talking to each other. Do you think that there are one or two Confucian cultivators in each circle?"
Yang Junshan didn't need to use his eyes to know that Zhong Kui was right. He only thought about it for a moment and hesitated, "Does Mr. Zhong mean that the Confucian cultivators are intentionally strolling around for news regarding the 27th world?" But what is the purpose of their actions? "
Zhong Kui shook his head and said, "Although I had some connections with the Confucian tribe in my early years, I have entered the Ghost Clan after all. On the surface, it seems like I have a good relationship with a group of Confucian disciples, but if it really involves the top secret of the Confucian clan, then I will be the most heavily guarded person."
Yang Junshan nodded. On the surface, he looked confused.2
Zhong Kui's gaze shifted back and forth between the bamboo forest and said, "Seeing these scholars spread the news that the 27th plane had appeared, could it be that this side of the world is the same as the Circulatory World? It's one of the few large-scale worlds in the starry sky?" That's why they are trying to recruit people from all over the place. They want to gather everyone's power to take over this world? "
A major world?
Yang Junshan snorted disdainfully from the bottom of his heart. If the twenty-seventh plane was really the Nine Heavens, then he was certain that regardless of size or background, the Nine Heavens was far worse than the Circulatory Cycle World!
Not to mention the fact that Yang Junshan and seven other cultivators had entered the Nine Heavens World with the intention of stealing the Three Ultimate Heavenly Immortal Treasury, while the various powers on each continent had joined forces with one or two Immortal Lords to annihilate one of them, six of them had been taken by the cultivators of the Nine Heavens World, allowing them to gain a glimpse into the true power of the Nine Heavens.
Yang Junshan naturally wouldn't talk about this. Zhong Kui, on the other hand, didn't know what was going on. His eyes roamed around the bamboo forest again and again, but he was even more confident about what he had guessed.
He pursed his lips and said to Yang Junshan, "Look, although more than half of the Immortal Masters invited to the Great Luo Immortal Feast of the Yan Sect are Golden Body, in reality, most of them are Rogue Immortals, or have some sort of power or background behind them. In fact, none of them are ranked in the entire universe, so, in the future, if the Confucian Immortals were to take the initiative and attack the 27th world, they would definitely be able to take the initiative."
Yang Junshan looked at Zhong Kui with astonishment. He jokingly said, "Mr Zhong, your words are belittling yourself. Could it be that the Ghost Cultivator Horde is one of the last in the entire Starry Sky world?"
Zhong Kui was slightly stunned. With a wry smile on his face, he said, "The Ghost Clan naturally isn't the weakest of the lot. It's just that I, Zhong Kui, am not someone that is highly regarded by the Ghost Clan."
Yang Junshan was stunned. He wanted to ask the reason, but seeing Zhong Kui's cold expression, he knew that Zhong Kui was unwilling to discuss the matter further, so he stopped.
He had to admit that Zhong Kui's words were very reasonable. If Yang Junshan hadn't known that the Nine Heavens World was real, he would have chosen to believe Zhong Kui's deduction.
Yang Junshan thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Mr Zhong, how can the Confucianism be so sure that the world of the Nine Heavens has been born?"
Zhong Kui thought for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "There might be cultivators from the 27th plane who were captured by the Confucian scholars and found out the general location of the hidden space within the starry sky."
Just as Zhong Kui finished speaking, a crisp and clear sound of a bell rang out, drawing the attention of the Bamboo Forest Immortals to the central tower once again.
"This old man is fortunate to have a glimpse of the Great Luo Immortal World. I thank the deities here for the high regard, which is why today's grand feast of the Jadeite Bamboo Forest was held. In order to express my gratitude to the deities, I am here to play the zither for you, please do not make fun of my humble zither skills."
The moment Yan Zongsheng's voice fell, the immortals who were previously wandering in the bamboo forest had already returned to their seats and sat down. They said in unison, "We wish to listen to the teachings of the sect. We cannot thank you enough."
Yang Junshan noticed Zhong Kui's serious expression and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Mister Zhong, this is —"
Before Yang Junshan could finish his words, Zhong Kui made a gesture to silence him, interrupting him. He transmitted his voice, "The main event of this Great Luo Immortal Banquet is about to begin."
Yang Junshan was stunned for a moment. When he lifted his eyes to take a look, he saw Immortal Han Zhong, who he had seen before, holding a simple zither in his hand in front of Yan Zong Sheng.
Yang Junshan was surprised and said with the same voice, "Didn't you say you were going to teach Taoism? How can you play?"
Zhong Kui sneered and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, if the Immortal Path could be passed on simply by being noisy on one's mouth, then the Immortal Domain's inheritance would be way too cheap! The path of cultivation is something that can only be described with words. The people who came before can only express their own thoughts, but how much others can comprehend and what they understand will depend on different people. "
Just as Zhong Kui sent the message, Yang Junshan suddenly widened his eyes.
On the pavilion, both of Yan Zong Sheng's hands slowly landed on the horizontal strings of the zither. However, to Yang Junshan, it felt as if Yan Zongsheng's hands had left mysterious marks on them. His hands moved slowly, as if countless mysteries were hidden within them.
As Yan Zong Sheng lightly flicked his finger, a "Zheng" sound rang out, resounding through the entire bamboo forest. Everything in the area seemed to have stopped, and only the sound of the zither strings resonating could be heard.
