441: Daojun Banquet
Canglan Dao Domain, Cangwu Dao Academy.
Above the firmament, nine-colored auspicious clouds stretched for ten thousand miles, enveloping the entire Cangwu Dao Academy.
Today, Cangwu Dao Academy was exceptionally lively, with an endless stream of guests.
"Boom!""
Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the horizon.
A giant purple-gold flying boat was seen breaking through the Void Realm, with an old man with white hair and beard standing at its bow, exuding the terrifying Aura of a Late Stage Dao Lord.
"Oh my god! That is... the 'Purple Qi East Ascending Boat' of the Ziji Dao Sect from the Ziji Dao Domain!"
"Even the Grand Elder of Ziji Dao Sect came personally?"
The Dao Academy Disciples responsible for greeting guests exclaimed repeatedly.
Soon, the flying boat slowly landed on the reception platform, which only Supreme Powers were allowed to use.
At this moment, Cangsong and others had already come forward to greet them.
After all, Ziji Dao Sect was a giant Power, and they could not afford to treat them lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Zi Xing's arrival brings splendor to our Cangwu Dao Academy!"
Cangsong said with a beaming smile.
Zi Xing stroked his beard and smiled, "Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Cangsong, you're too kind. Congratulations!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Yuan, waved his sleeve, and a jade box appeared in his hand. "Little Friend Xu, this is the 'Purple Heaven Lightning Marrow Liquid' treasured by my sect. I represent the Ziji Dao Sect in congratulating Little Friend Xu on attaining the Dao Lord Realm. Please accept it."
"Thank you, Senior Zi Xing. Please convey my regards to the Seniors of your esteemed sect!"
Xu Yuan quickly stepped forward and took the jade box.
This Purple Heaven Lightning Marrow Liquid was a supreme treasure for refining the Physical Body. A single drop was priceless, and there were at least ten drops in the jade box before him!
"It's actually Purple Heaven Lightning Marrow Liquid! Ziji Dao Sect is truly generous!"
"It's because Cangwu Dao Academy was lucky enough to accept a Disciple from the Xuanhuang Xu Family!"
The Powers that had arrived earlier were shocked upon hearing this.
Before everyone could recover from their shock, a clear, melodious cry came from the horizon again.
Three immortal cranes in the Early Stage Dao Lord Realm were seen pulling a jade carriage through the Void Realm, and wherever they passed, snow fell across the sky.
"It's the 'Three Immortals Ice Crystal Carriage' of Ice Purity Valley!"
"Heavens, even the Valley Master of Ice Purity Valley has personally arrived!"
A white-clad woman with skin like snow and features as beautiful as a painting stepped out of the jade carriage. She gently raised her jade hand, and a treasure box made of ice crystals floated out: "Ice Purity Valley congratulates Dao Friend Xu on attaining the Dao, and specially presents a 'Ice Purity Immortal Jade'."
The crowd was once again in an uproar.
Ice Purity Immortal Jade, that was a rare treasure that could help a Half-step Dao Lord comprehend the immortal ice Dao. This was a supreme treasure of Ice Purity Valley, with only one being born every millennium!
Everyone knew that Xu Yuan had a wife who Cultivated the ice Dao. Seeing Xu Yuan's expression, it was clear he liked this gift very much.
As soon as Xu Yuan finished expressing his gratitude, a series of awe-inspiring Auras arrived one after another:
The Golden Chariot of the Tai Void Hall crushed the Void Realm as it arrived... The war beasts of the Sihe Gate descended through the Void Realm... The Sword Lord of the Lone Wind Sword Sect broke through the Void Realm with his sword... Each of them was a renowned powerhouse, and each congratulatory gift was carefully selected, enough to make an ordinary Dao Lord envious.
"How could these giant Powers attend an ordinary Dao Lord banquet? They are clearly here for the Xu Family behind Young Master Yuan." A Dao Lord from a certain Supreme Power whispered with emotion.
"Not only that!" A Dao Lord with profound eyes said, "I heard that several old monsters who have been in seclusion for many years have spread rumors, wanting to accept Xu Yuan as their Disciple."
"What? Isn't he Cangsong's last Disciple?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmph! What level is Cangsong? He can't even defeat me, what right does he have to be Young Master Yuan's teacher? If I were Cangsong, I would let go, it would be beneficial for both sides!"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
...Just as everyone was discussing, a deafening Dragon roar suddenly came from the horizon.
Nine Taiyin Flood Dragons were seen pulling an immortal palace out of the clouds. Above the palace, the Xuanhuang banner fluttered.
"The Xuanhuang banner! The Xu Family has arrived!"
At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Everyone held their breath, gazing at the magnificent immortal palace.
They knew that the true protagonist of today's Dao Lord banquet was finally about to make his appearance!
"To actually use Taiyin Flood Dragons as carriage beasts, these are descendants of the Taiyin True Dragon!"
Although the nine Taiyin Flood Dragons were only in the Half-step Dao Lord Realm, in the Ancient Land of Dao, Dragons and Phoenixes represented power, so few Powers dared to use True Dragons as carriage beasts. The Xu Family's ability to use Taiyin Flood Dragons as carriage beasts showed their profound heritage.
The nine Taiyin Flood Dragons slowly descended in the center of the reception platform.
The moment the palace gates opened, six terrifying Auras swept across the entire venue. The middle-aged man leading them wore a black battle robe, and the 'Xu' token hanging from his waist glowed with a heart-pounding light.
Xu Liang walked down the steps with the gait of a Dragon and the stride of a tiger. With each step, profound Dao patterns emerged on the ground.
Behind him were forty-five Xu Family Disciples, all dressed in Xuanhuang star robes, each exuding an Aura like a Dragon or a tiger.
"Late Stage Dao Lord!"
"And five Dao Lords in the Early Stage and Middle Stage!"
"Those young people behind... not more than ten cycles old, yet all in the Dao Lord Realm!"
The various powerhouses observing in secret exchanged messages, some with shock in their eyes.
"Yuan'er!"
Xu Liang suddenly laughed heartily, opening his arms towards the direction of the Enlightenment Peak.
"Father!"
Xu Ji smiled and stepped forward to bow.
"You brat, you're not the main character today, get out of the way!"
Xu Liang glanced at his son.
Xu Ji's expression turned bitter upon hearing this.
At this moment, Xu Yuan and his wife stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Nephew greets Second Uncle!"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that this man was Xu Yuan's Second Uncle.
"Good! Good!"
Xu Liang patted his nephew's shoulder vigorously, his eyes filled with satisfaction, "As expected of Big Brother's son!"
Then he suddenly lowered his voice and winked mischievously: "By the way, when are you and that girl Yan'an going to give Third Uncle some grand-nephews?"
"Third Uncle!"
Xu Yuan's ears instantly turned red, and Wang Yanan beside him lowered her head, blushing with shyness.
"Hahaha!"
Xu Liang laughed heartily, patted Xu Yuan's shoulder, and then walked over to Cangsong.
"Fellow Daoist Cangsong, thank you for your academy's care for my Xu Family Disciples over the years!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu, you exaggerate. It should be our Cangwu Dao Academy thanking your esteemed family!"
Cangsong's words came from the bottom of his heart. Over the years, because of the Xu Family, Cangwu Dao Academy could be said to be flourishing in the surrounding Dao Domains.
Xu Liang smiled slightly upon hearing this, without refuting.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I have already prepared the banquet. Please come this way!"
Since the protagonist had arrived, the Dao Lord banquet could now begin.
"Good!"
Soon after, the Dao Lord banquet began.
For this Dao Lord banquet, Cangwu Dao Academy had brought out a considerable amount of its heritage to entertain the guests.
After all, among the Powers attending this Dao Lord banquet, there were over a hundred Supreme Powers alone, so the standard naturally couldn't be low, otherwise, it would be a slap in their own face.
At the banquet!
"Fellow Daoist Xu!"
Zi Xing held a wine cup and walked up to Xu Liang with a smile, "Your nephew's extraordinary talent truly makes others envious!"
This remark seemed to open a floodgate, and various powerhouses immediately swarmed forward.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xu!"
"I am the Sect Master of the Qinglan Dao Sect, and I have long admired the reputation of the Xuanhuang Xu Family..."
In a blink of an eye, Xu Liang was surrounded by more than a dozen Dao Lords.
Some handed over name cards, some presented congratulatory gifts, and some even directly pulled their Juniors forward to introduce them.
An Elder from a second-rate Power couldn't squeeze in and stomped his feet in frustration. Finally, he even lifted his daughter over his head: "Elder Xu! This is my little girl, she just turned two hundred years old this year..."
Xu Liang smiled faintly, neither refusing nor accepting.
He took the gift list from the Zixiao Dao Sect with his left hand and gently helped up the kneeling Young Lord of a certain sect with his right, handling all the various relationships flawlessly while chatting and laughing.
