6: Eat yourself while at the feast?
Outside the Gods and Demons Cemetery.
Ever since the Profound Yellow Tower's aura had its Awakening, powerful factions began to arrive continuously.
Even Holy Lands, Immortal Dynasties, and Immortal Families came one after another.
There were also many Loose Cultivator powerhouses who were about to die of old age, hoping to find an Opportunity.
On the Taichu Holy Land's Immortal Ship.
A beautiful young girl, with hair as black as ink, and a white dress fluttering in the wind, rising and falling, ethereal as an Immortal, with an otherworldly temperament!
She stood at the bow of the ship, her eyes constantly gazing at the Gods and Demons Cemetery, revealing a deep sense of worry.
A few days ago, a heaven-shattering battle occurred within the Gods and Demons Cemetery, shattering much of the space and shocking the entire Continent.
At this moment.
A grey mist flickered on her body, continuously eroding her physique.
If not for a few old men nearby suppressing it, the grey mist would likely erupt instantly and devour her.
The young girl's name was Mu Xianer, the daughter of the Primal Beginning Holy Master, and also the Saintess of the Taichu Holy Land's current generation.
The Primal Beginning Holy Master and several Elders beside her let out a heavy sigh of relief after suppressing the grey mist.
The Primal Beginning Holy Master, dressed in purple robes with his long hair tied up with a jade crown, exuded a noble aura.
His tone was reproachful, but his face showed a deep look of concern.
"Xian'er, you were too reckless. If you hadn't been lucky this time, I'm afraid you..."
Mu Xianer frowned, giving a bitter smile.
"Father, if we can't find the Undying Holy Medicine, our Ancestor might not last for many more years!"
At the mention of their Ancestor, everyone's faces darkened.
The Taichu Holy Land's Ancestor was once a peerless Prodigy who suppressed an era, an existence half a step into Immortality.
But even such a figure could not escape the erosion of time.
He had lived for thousands of years, and now his Qi and blood were withered, and his Lifespan was exhausted.
Ordinary Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines that increased Lifespan no longer had much effect on him; only the legendary Undying Holy Medicine might work!
But Undying Holy Medicine only existed in Forbidden Grounds, making it incredibly difficult to find.
Of course, the Taichu Holy Land naturally couldn't just watch him die of old age.
However, Holy Medicine was hard to find!
This was also the helplessness of the Taichu Holy Land!
"Xian'er, I don't mean to blame you, but you should have told us. Running here by yourself, do you know how dangerous it is!"
The Gods and Demons Cemetery was a place where even Immortal Saints would fall and perish. With Mu Xianer's Faxiang Realm cultivation, being able to escape by chance was already a blessing in disguise!
Thinking of this, he felt a wave of lingering fear. If anything happened to Mu Xianer, how would he face his ancestors in the future?
Fortunately, she was blessed with good fortune.
The Primal Beginning Holy Master suddenly thought of some recent rumors.
"I heard that a Divine Medicine has appeared in the Gods and Demons Cemetery this time. This might be our last Opportunity!"
Divine Medicine?
Mu Xianer gave a bleak smile.
In such a place, even with Divine Medicine, perhaps no one could withstand the erosion of that grey mist...
However...
She suddenly thought of the young man in Xuan Yun robes who saved her.
She didn't know why, but she had a feeling.
If anyone could enter the Gods and Demons Cemetery, perhaps only he could!
She also didn't know if he was affected by that great battle. She hoped he could leave safely!
... ...
At the same time, Immortal Seeking Sect.
Within the vast Sect, people were everywhere, and the sound of zithers was faint.
From the Grand Elders down to the gatekeeper, everyone in the entire Sect was dressed in their finest.
Looking around, the entire square was filled with countless dining tables, each laden with delicacies, Immortal Nectar, Spirit Fruits, and Spirit Meats—everything imaginable.
The faint sound of zithers, graceful dances, booming gongs and drums, and joyful laughter filled the entire venue.
"Senior Brother, why is the Sect holding a banquet?"
"Junior Sister, don't ask, just eat quickly, or others will finish it!"
"No, Junior Brother, a banquet is a banquet, but what's the meaning of you pulling out a red bag?!"
"Strange, these dancers are performing so well, why is no one watching?"
"Damn it, Junior Sister, you're not playing fair! I reserved that Spirit Kun butt first, how can you just snatch it?!"
"Senior Brother, stop talking nonsense, eat quickly, or you'll regret it later!"
"???"
Similar conversations were constantly playing out throughout the banquet.
As one of Yu Province's largest factions, the Immortal Seeking Sect had endured immense hardship for over a hundred years, a fact known only to them.
Suddenly holding a full-Sect banquet must mean something incredibly good had happened. For the Disciples who had joined and never experienced such a feast, this was a windfall of immense wealth, and they had to seize it.
At the main seats, Sect Leader Mu Tiannan and a group of Elders looked at this harmonious and lively scene, feeling deeply comforted.
These young men had truly suffered all these years!
Now, they had finally seen the light after the clouds, and their hardships were over.
... ...
Meanwhile, Jiang Qingchen, after more than a month of travel, finally returned to the Immortal Seeking Sect.
As soon as he stepped into the Immortal Seeking Sect, he found the Sect square bustling with people, a lively sight!
He looked at the arrangement of the entire venue and immediately understood.
With this setup and atmosphere, it must be a banquet!
The Xuan Yun Continent was quite particular about banquets too, ten people per table, with dancing, zither playing, and suona blowing. They really knew how to enjoy themselves!
Jiang Qingchen thought to himself.
As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than early.
He just happened to return to the Sect and catch a banquet.
Too awesome.
He looked around a few times.
Finally, he squeezed in next to an Inner Sect Disciple's table, annoying the other Disciples.
The Disciple was about to scold him but saw that the other person was wearing the clothes of a Personal Disciple, immediately cowered, becoming respectful and daring not to say more.
"Junior Brother, what kind of banquet is this today, so lively?"
Jiang Qingchen ate heartily while asking an Inner Sect Disciple beside him.
He was puzzled. If he remembered correctly, the Sect hadn't held such a grand banquet in a long time.
"Senior Brother? Don't you know?"
The Inner Sect Disciple was stunned, then asked back.
As a Personal Disciple, the Sect should have notified him first, right?
But he quickly reacted, thinking that this Senior Brother must have just come out of seclusion, which was why he didn't know!
So he patiently explained in a low voice:
"Senior Brother, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure either, but I have some gossip. I heard that last night, the Sect Master issued instructions overnight, and it seems to be because..."
Mid-sentence, the Inner Sect Disciple suddenly stopped.
Because he saw his Senior and Junior Brothers had already leaned their heads over.
Jiang Qingchen instantly understood and immediately put on a serious face: "Ahem, what are you looking at? Hurry up and eat!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed awkwardly, pulled their heads back, and turned to look elsewhere, indicating that they hadn't heard anything.
At this moment, the Disciple leaned his head closer to Jiang Qingchen, then looked at the reactions of the others, and lowered his voice even more. And the others around him also involuntarily leaned their heads closer again, pricking up their ears.
"Senior Brother, I have a Junior Brother whose Senior Sister's Master's good friend is an Inner Sect Elder, and they said this banquet is because a famous person in our Sect passed away a month ago!"
"What was his name, emm... Oh, right, it seems he was called Jiang Qingchen, and I heard he was also the useless Peak Master of Wudao Peak, the shame of the Sect!"
"So, this looks like mourning, but it's actually a celebration!"
"However, Senior Brother, you mustn't say this! Remember to keep it a secret for me, or if it gets out, I'll be severely punished!"
At this point, he deliberately emphasized his tone, indicating the seriousness of the matter!
"What!"
Jiang Qingchen's cerebellum immediately atrophied.
The Spirit Beast meat in his hand clattered to the ground, and he stared at the other person in disbelief, the joy of the banquet slowly disappearing from his face.
What the hell was this?
Attending a banquet for himself?
He had been so happy eating and listening to gossip.
It turned out he was the biggest piece of gossip!
"No!"
Jiang Qingchen slammed his hands on the table with a "bang." He suddenly thought of something terrifying!
Where was morality? Where was shame? Where was the gift money...?
Thinking of this, he shot up with a "whoosh" and rushed quickly towards the Main Peak, leaving behind a group of bewildered people!
