244: Chapter 244 Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace, Stars as Wine

"Boom!"

The Void Realm shook violently, and vast stretches of spatial barriers collapsed like fragile glass.

In front of the golden palace pulled by two Immortal-level Wind-Thunder Qilins, a slender figure slowly stepped out.

It was a man in white.

He wore a robe as white as snow, embroidered with complex and profound Dao patterns using ancient dark gold and pure black threads.

The man's face was as handsome as jade.

His aura was elegant and otherworldly, like a scholar well-versed in poetry and literature from the mortal world.

But with every step he took forward...

A dazzling golden lotus would automatically bloom in the Void Realm beneath his feet.

Lotuses blooming with every step!

The Laws of the Heavenly Dao resonated and submitted with his every breath.

Those two violent Primordial Wind-Thunder Qilins, the moment he appeared, actually let out low whimpers like docile house dogs, their massive bodies prostrating in the Void Realm, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Around the Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake, there was a deathly silence.

Millions of experts from the Dark Great Realm stared wide-eyed at the man in white.

"This... is this the legendary Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace? Lord Qing Xuan?"

An old Great Emperor who had lived for millions of years trembled violently, his voice hoarse as he squeezed out those words.

"How can he be so young!"

An Immortal Realm expert nearby gasped, feeling his scalp tingle.

"Rumor has it he stepped into the Supreme Realm long ago, his strength unfathomable!"

"Seeing him today, just this naturally overflowing Qi makes me lack the courage to even look at him directly!"

A suppressed wave of shock surged through the crowd.

Countless people looked at each other, seeing extreme shock in each other's eyes.

The man in white, Qing Xuan, had a calm expression.

His deep gaze swept casually across the field.

When he passed over Immortal King Immortal King, his gaze didn't linger for a moment, only giving a faint glance.

Subsequently.

Qing Xuan's gaze bypassed the crowd and landed directly on the Supreme Giant, Supreme Giant, and the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor Phoenix Extreme Heaven standing in the main seat.

Facing such disregard...

Immortal King was not only not angry at all, but lowered his head even deeper.

"Supreme Giant, greets Dao Brother Qing Xuan."

A jaw-dropping scene occurred.

The dignified Supreme Giant Supreme Giant actually took a step forward first.

He cupped his fists and bowed slightly to Qing Xuan, performing an extremely formal greeting of the same generation!

Supreme Giant also put away his previous arrogance.

With a solemn face, he also cupped his fists in greeting.

Immortal King was even more terrified, his knees going soft as he knelt on one knee in mid-air.

"Immortal King, pays respects to the Ancient Ancestor!"

Immortal King's voice was incredibly respectful, even carrying a hint of undisguised trembling.

He knew very well in his heart.

Although he was an Immortal King, in front of Qing Xuan, he was simply not enough.

Qing Xuan was a terrifying existence far surpassing the two Supreme Giants, Supreme Giant and Supreme Giant!

He was a true supreme taboo standing at the very top of the Dark Great Realm's pyramid!

Being slighted?

That was only natural!

Qing Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, nodding slightly as a return gesture.

His gaze fell back onto Immortal King again.

"How is your recovery progressing?"

Qing Xuan asked casually.

These words fell into Immortal King's ears like the immortal music of the Nine Heavens!

Immortal King looked up abruptly, his face full of overwhelming favor.

He was so excited that his whole body trembled, and even the pain at the stump of his arm was thrown to the back of his mind.

"Thank you for your concern, Ancient Ancestor!"

Immortal King responded loudly, his tone full of fanaticism and gratitude.

"To answer the Ancient Ancestor, my injuries are no longer a major issue, and I am putting all my effort into reshaping my Origin!"

Qing Xuan gave a faint "mm" and said no more.

The surrounding experts watched this scene, the shock in their hearts growing even more intense.

"The Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor's connections have actually reached such a profound level!"

"Even a supreme taboo like the Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace could be invited by him to attend the banquet!"

"Today, something big enough to overturn the entire landscape of the Dark Great Realm will definitely happen!"

Everyone whispered to each other, marveling in low voices.

Phoenix Extreme Heaven stood in the main seat, his face glowing with health.

He was ecstatic to the extreme in his heart.

Qing Xuan's arrival completely bolstered the prestige of the Blood Phoenix Clan.

"Hahaha!"

Phoenix Extreme Heaven laughed loudly and went up to greet him with great enthusiasm.

"Dao Brother Qing Xuan's presence is a great honor; I truly failed to welcome you properly!"

He stepped aside and made an extremely respectful gesture of invitation.

"Fellow Daoists, please move to the central island of the Spirit Lake to take your seats!"

Five titans standing at the Peak of the Dark Great Realm turned into five streaks of light and landed steadily on the central island.

The seats had already been arranged.

As the host, Phoenix Extreme Heaven sat in the primary seat without hesitation.

Qing Xuan's expression was indifferent as he took the seat of honor beside Phoenix Extreme Heaven.

The two Supreme Giants, Supreme Giant and Supreme Giant, sat opposite each other.

As for Immortal King...

Although he was also an Immortal King, in such a setting, he could only obediently sit in the lowest seat.

During the banquet.

Supreme Giant picked up the jade cup in front of him, his gaze falling on Qing Xuan.

"Dao Brother Qing Xuan."

Supreme Giant's tone was filled with undisguised admiration.

"Having not seen you for many years, your strength has become even more refined. This air of returning to simplicity is truly beyond our reach."

Qing Xuan smiled slightly, his expression still as calm as water.

"It's just some minor insights, not worth mentioning."

He lowered his hand, his gaze sweeping over the empty wine cups on the table.

"Since today is Fellow Daoist Phoenix Extreme Heaven's recovery celebration..."

Qing Xuan's tone was casual.

"Then I shall use what is at hand to brew a pot of wine for everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken...

The titans present were all stunned.

Qing Xuan did not stand up.

He simply raised his right arm and waved it abruptly towards the Nine Heavens.

"Boom!"

The daylight sky, which was originally covered by blood-colored light, instantly darkened.

Endless stars abruptly appeared in the daytime, bursting with extremely brilliant starlight.

"Condense."

Qing Xuan softly spat out a single word.

The stars across the sky trembled violently.

The vast and majestic star power was forcibly stripped away by an irresistible supreme power.

It turned into five brilliant rivers of stars, descending from the sky!

The star rivers were frantically compressed and condensed above Qing Xuan's palm.

In the blink of an eye.

Five strange wine cups, crystal clear and emitting a misty starlight, formed out of thin air!

This wasn't the end.

Qing Xuan spread his five fingers and grabbed at the Void Realm again.

"Buzz—!"

Heaven and earth shook violently.

The extreme Yang Solar Power and the extreme Yin Taiyin Power were forcibly seized from the depths of the Void Realm by him!

One gold and one silver, two domineering Origin powers, intertwined frantically in mid-air.

Qing Xuan's expression was relaxed, as if he were just doing a trivial thing.

His fingers moved slightly.

From the world around the Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake below, the wisps of essence from billions of living beings were invisibly drawn and gathered.

The Sun, the Moon, and the essence of all living beings!

The three achieved a perfect Fusion at Qing Xuan's fingertips.

Finally, they turned into a pot of peerless immortal brew, with Yin and Yang Qi flowing and starlight flickering!

Yin-Yang Star Wine!

"Splash—"

Qing Xuan's wrist turned slightly.

Five streams of crystal-clear liquid fell precisely into the five star wine cups.

The aroma of wine overflowed.

Just a hint of the scent caused countless wondrous Dao Flowers to grow in the surrounding Void Realm.

Seeing this scene...

Supreme Giant and Supreme Giant, sitting opposite, instantly became incredibly solemn.

The two looked at each other, both seeing extreme horror in each other's pupils.

Plucking stars with bare hands!

Forcibly seizing Yin and Yang powers!

These methods were something they could barely manage.

But it was absolutely impossible to be as nonchalant as Qing Xuan, as if it were as easy as drinking water or eating a meal!

This showed that Qing Xuan's control over the Laws of the Dao had reached a terrifying height that they simply could not reach!

Immortal King, sitting in the last seat, was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.

He stared fixedly at the cup of Yin-Yang Star Wine in front of him, his Adam's apple bobbing frantically.

"This... this kind of immortal brew is simply unheard of!"

Immortal King screamed frantically in his heart.

The millions of experts on the periphery were even more completely shocked by this display.

"My god! Just by smelling the wine's aroma, my Bottleneck, which has been stagnant for a thousand years, actually loosened!"

"The methods of the Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace are simply heaven-reaching!"

"Too terrifying! Is this the strength of a supreme taboo?"

Bursts of suppressed exclamations erupted from the crowd, as countless experts stared fanatically at the central island.

Qing Xuan gracefully picked up the star wine cup in front of him.

He raised his cup slightly.

"Everyone, please."

Phoenix Extreme Heaven was glowing, excitedly picking up the wine cup with both hands.

"Thank you, Dao Brother Qing Xuan, for the wine!"

Supreme Giant, Supreme Giant, and Immortal King also did not dare to be slow, raising their cups together.

"Thank you, Ancient Ancestor, for the wine!"

The five titans on the central island raised their cups.

This action instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue.

The millions of experts from all sides on the periphery, regardless of their cultivation level or Origin...

At this moment, everyone stood up in unison.

They held their wine cups high, their expressions fanatical to the extreme.

"To the Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Palace!"

"To the Blood Phoenix Ancient Ancestor!"

The sound waves, like a mountain tsunami, rushed straight to the Nine Heavens, completely dispersing the clouds in the sky.

The grand banquet officially began at this moment!

"Woo—"

A melodious and exquisitely beautiful flute sound abruptly rang out over the Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake.

This flute sound seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens, untainted by any mortal vulgarity.

As the notes leaped...

Countless visible golden runes and immortal light rippled through the air following the flute's sound.

The flute sound was like water, gently brushing over everyone's Divine Soul.

The hostility accumulated from years of slaughter and the hidden injuries left by Cultivation actually began to dissipate rapidly under the cleansing of this flute sound!

"What a magical flute sound!"

Everyone was intoxicated, their faces full of enjoyment.

Immediately following.

Ripples appeared in the Void Realm.

Dozens of enchanting women dressed in sheer veils stepped out from the void.

Their figures were graceful as they danced over the Spirit Lake.

Every movement harmonized with the rhythm of the Heavenly Dao, a sight of incredible beauty.

But among these dancers...

The most eye-catching one was a woman standing at the highest point.

She was dressed in white, her face covered by a thin veil, hiding her peerless beauty.

She held a emerald-green jade flute in both hands and was playing softly.

Her aura was transcendent and refined, like a Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady who had accidentally entered the demon realm.

What made everyone's scalp tingle the most was...

The aura emitted by this white-clothed woman playing the flute.

It had actually reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm!

"Quasi-Immortal!"

"They actually let a peerless expert of the Quasi-Immortal level serve as a musician to play the flute for entertainment!"

Countless experts below widened their eyes, and a colossal wave surged in their hearts.

The flute sound played by the white-clothed woman was both an exquisite musical piece and a supreme technique at the Peak of perfection.

As the notes flowed...

A brilliant rain of light actually fell from the sky.

The light rain fell upon the Crimson Cloud Spirit Lake, reflecting ten thousand rays of light, making the entire island look like a dreamlike fairyland.

Accompanied by this flute music, this grand banquet, which gathered several Supreme Giants and was destined to go down in history, officially reached its climax.
