139: The things sent by the Dragon Emperor's messenger...

The birthday banquet began!

The first to appear were the guests from the Mystic Emperor Realm.

Since they were on foreign territory, they didn't deliberately try to create a grand display of power.

However, the simultaneous appearance of many Profound Emperors still looked quite spectacular and imposing.

Next to appear was... the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King!

Unlike the Mystic Emperor Realm guests who flew down, he suddenly appeared in the main seat.

More accurately, space rippled, and the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King made a dazzling entrance.

This was one of the external manifestations of a Xuanzun Realm master's control over spatial power—instantaneous movement.

This was true instantaneous movement, not the kind that was merely very fast and approximated instantaneous movement.

The moment Chen De saw the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King, he knew his conjecture was correct.

Whether it was the system map's upgrade or Chen De's personal observation of the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King's performance,

it was enough to show that the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King was indeed a Mystic Beast comparable to the Void Union Realm.

That is to say, the Xuanzun Realm was indeed equivalent to the Void Union Realm.

Listening to the frantic system prompts ringing in his ears, Chen De knew that a strong practitioner of this level was not someone he could contend with.

Don't look at Chen De already being truly at the peak of the Demon Transformation Realm.

Even with the blessing of his bloodline, ordinary peak Demon Transformation Realm practitioners were no match for Chen De in a single move.

But the terrifying chasm from a major realm was something Chen De simply could not cross right now.

However, thankfully, Chen De's purpose for this trip was not the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King.

It was his treasures, and the guests attending.

Before coming, all of the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King's treasures were Chen De's primary target.

Chen De had originally planned to act during the birthday banquet when everyone's attention was focused there.

However, to avoid alerting those Profound King Realm guests,

this objective could be put aside for now.

After Chen De had assimilated all these guests into the Holy Mother Sect, he would return to act.

It was a bit risky.

But Chen De would rather give up the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King's treasures than abandon these Profound King Realm guests.

If it really came down to it, he would give up those treasures.

...

On the other side, after the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King took his seat, he began to receive the birthday gifts brought by the major powers.

Unlike the birthday gifts brought by Profound King Realm practitioners from smaller sects, which were collected at the entrance,

birthday gifts from major powers definitely needed to be properly received during the main event.

If people came with good intentions to offer birthday wishes and weren't properly acknowledged, it would be too disrespectful.

Those Profound King Realm practitioners?

If they had no background, they didn't need to be respected.

"The Blazing Ember Dragon Clan presents a birthday gift to the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King—Southern Flame Bright Sand!"

"The Profound Peak Great Dragon Clan presents to the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King—Heavy Mountain Myriad-Edge Square!"

"The Eclipse Moon Shadow Dragon Clan presents to the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King..."

...

This was a Mystic Beast's birthday banquet, so naturally, the first gifts presented were from Mystic Beasts.

With the Dragon Clan at the forefront of Mystic Beasts, the gifts from the other eleven Dragon Clan lineages began first.

Logically, the items sent by the Dragon Emperor should have opened the event.

But for some reason today, the Dragon Emperor's envoy had not yet arrived.

They had originally planned to wait, and had waited for so long earlier, just for the Dragon Emperor's envoy to arrive.

Otherwise, could they have been waiting for those Profound King Realm practitioners who hadn't arrived yet?

But they had waited until the flowers withered.

Seeing that if they waited any longer, today would almost be over, they couldn't wait any longer.

When celebrating a birthday and waiting for people, one couldn't wait until the birthday had passed, could they?

If they really slighted the Dragon Emperor's envoy, at worst, they could apologize to the Dragon Emperor afterward.

After the eleven Dragon Clan lineages finished presenting their gifts, it was the turn of the Mystic Beast powers of the same level.

Following that, it was the birthday gifts from the human powers.

Very few human powers attended the birthday banquet, and the quality of the items they brought was much inferior to those from Mystic Beasts.

However, the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King didn't care at all; he never expected these human profound practitioners to bring anything good.

There weren't many powers that had the opportunity to present gifts at the banquet.

In a short while, everyone had taken their turn.

At this moment, the Dragon Emperor's envoy seemed to arrive belatedly.

Seeing that the Dragon Clan's envoy had arrived, the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King also quickly got down from his seat.

Although the Dragon Emperor's envoy was only a Mystic Beast of Mystic Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, he was far from deserving such respect.

But who was behind the Dragon Emperor's envoy?

The Dragon Emperor!

Towards the Dragon Emperor, their Dragon Clan's Xuan Saint-level strong practitioner, the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King dared not be disrespectful.

Then, the Dragon Emperor's envoy Yuan Chuan spoke of the birthday gift he had brought, "The Dragon Emperor of the Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragon Clan has sent me to present a birthday gift—Ancient Dragon's Whiskers Ginseng!"

As he spoke, he presented an item.

What is that?

What did he say it was?

Are you kidding me?

Isn't that kind of item something only ordinary Mystic Emperor Realm practitioners would send?

Although it was something unique to the Crimson Firmament Azure Abyss Dragon Clan, it was really very ordinary!

Could it be that to keep a low profile and not attract attention, he deliberately said it that way?

So, those who were close and bold,

had already quietly stretched their necks and secretly glanced at the item Yuan Chuan presented.

After seeing it!

They all had expressions of disbelief.

It really was!

So, emboldened, they took another look.

That's right, it really was!

No way, right?

The dignified Dragon Clan Emperor, so stingy with his gift!

Sending so little, it would be better not to send anything at all.

Isn't this slapping the Dragon Clan's face and the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King's face?

It was simply blatant humiliation.

The Profound Emperors around the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King suddenly felt the air seemed to solidify.

The smarter ones could no longer smile.

The Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King's expression was also not good, just as those Profound Emperors thought.

Sending so little, wouldn't it be better not to send anything?

But today, here, at his birthday banquet, in front of so many foreign guests,

no matter what, he couldn't let outsiders laugh at him!

Especially those human profound practitioners!

Furthermore, he felt there must be something going on here.

No matter how brainless or beastly the Dragon Emperor was, he wouldn't do such a thing on such an occasion.

That wouldn't be slapping the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King's face; it would be slapping the entire Dragon Clan's face.

All in all, this was definitely not something the Dragon Emperor would do.

In the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King's impression, the Dragon Emperor was quite wise and mighty.

Every word and action must have a deep meaning!

This was abnormal!

However, the most urgent task now was to stabilize the situation; future matters could be discussed later.

The big picture was more important!

Thinking of this, the Thunder Howling Sky Dragon King immediately forced out a genuine smile, "Thank you, Lord Dragon Emperor, you just happen to know that I need such an item."

As he spoke, fearing that the crowd wouldn't believe him, he added a few more sentences, "Speaking of which, I don't know where Lord Dragon Emperor got the news.

He actually knew that my most beloved youngest son was ambushed a few days ago, and only this Ancient Dragon's Whiskers Ginseng can cure him."

He also excitedly said to the envoy, "I had long planned to seek this item, but I was temporarily entangled with the birthday banquet.

I didn't expect Lord Dragon Emperor to send an envoy to deliver it to me first."

"This item, in my eyes, is far more precious than any heavenly material or earthly treasure."

Cupping his fists, "Please, after you return, convey my heartfelt thanks to Lord Dragon Emperor.

A few days later, I will personally go to see Lord Dragon Emperor to express my gratitude."
