66: Righteous Alliance Dionysus Temple

At this moment, Leng Yue continued, "Excluding the Demon State, the remaining thirty-five states form the Righteous Path Alliance, which contains thirty-six Immortal Emperor-level forces and three hundred and sixty-five Emperor-level forces."

"Do not think that Emperor-level and Immortal Emperor-level forces are numerous."

"In reality, for most forces, the number of Quasi-Emperors is only around one to twenty, with one or two being the most common."

"As for Immortal Emperor-level forces, most have seven or eight Quasi-Emperors, with those having over a dozen being rare. The number of Great Emperors is mostly one or two; having three, four, or five is already exceedingly rare."

"In summary, throughout the entire Spirit Realm, on our side of the Righteous Path Alliance, counting the Loose Cultivators and the hidden Great Emperors, the number of Great Emperor powerhouses will not exceed one hundred."

"It is hard to say regarding the Demon State, but since they can stand toe-to-toe with the entire Spirit Realm, at the very least, their high-level strength is comparable."

"The leader of the Righteous Path Alliance is the Hall Master of the Wine God Temple."

"The current generation's Hall Master is named Jiu Wuji, who has a Great Emperor Third Layer cultivation."

"The Wine God Temple does not like to fight; they only enjoy brewing wine. They have good relationships with all forces, which is why they became the leader."

"We are heading to the Wine God Temple in the Central State this time. Once we arrive, we will use a drawing of lots to decide the host for the next Heavenly Pride Battle."

As Leng Yue spoke, she also shared many secrets that Cao Bu did not know.

Unknowingly, five days quietly slipped away.

"We are almost there." Leng Yue raised her hand to tear open space and rushed out with Cao Bu.

As their vision shifted, the two were already standing above a boundless forest.

Cao Bu sensed the surroundings slightly and discovered that the concentration of Spiritual Qi here was a hundred times denser than in the Sword Province.

"This is the Central State, the center of the Spirit Realm. There are ten Immortal Emperor-level forces and thirty Emperor-level forces based here, and its geographical area is only slightly smaller than the Demon State."

After Leng Yue finished speaking, she identified the direction and flew over with Cao Bu.

About an hour later, the two stopped at the summit of a giant peak.

The summit of this giant peak seemed to have been deliberately flattened by someone, and the three large characters "Wine God Peak" were carved into the middle of the peak.

Above the summit, a giant city covering an area of about a thousand square kilometers rose from the ground.

At the very center, a magnificent hall stood towering, with three vigorous and powerful characters carved above the hall entrance—Wine God Temple.

Just as Cao Bu and Leng Yue appeared outside the Wine God Peak, the Grand Elder inside the Wine God Temple sensed their auras.

He did not hesitate in the slightest and appeared immediately, cupping his hands in greeting to Leng Yue: "So it is Fellow Daoist Leng, please come in."

While speaking, his gaze swept over Cao Bu without leaving a trace.

The Gu Clan has had constant turmoil recently. During Gu Yun's Succession Ceremony, the Wine God Temple even sent a Quasi-Emperor to observe, and it was said the scene was very lively.

The person before him was neither Gu Yun nor could it be Gu Feng; he must be an insignificant character.

"Elder Jin is too polite. I wonder how many forces have arrived so far?" Leng Yue returned the salute; the other party's cultivation was a notch higher than hers, so she could not afford to be negligent.

Elder Jin raised his hand to gesture the way: "The two of you, follow me. Let's talk as we walk."

The three then walked through the air, slowly heading towards the Wine God Temple.

At this moment, Elder Jin continued: "Most of the forces have already arrived. I estimate that everyone will be gathered by tonight; once everyone is here, we will draw lots to determine the host for the Heavenly Pride Battle."

As soon as his voice fell, an aura suddenly came from behind the three.

The three stopped simultaneously and turned to look, only to see a youth dressed in black robes walking quickly towards them.

"Sister Moon." The black-robed youth called out, a gentle smile appearing on his face for Leng Yue.

When his gaze fell upon Cao Bu, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes held a bit of surprise.

In such an important occasion, why would Sister Moon bring Cao Bu here?

The person who came was none other than Su Li's younger brother, which is to say, Cao Bu's brother-in-law, Su Chen.

Leng Yue quickly noticed the change in Su Chen's aura, her tone full of surprise: "You have broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm?"

Su Chen nodded in response: "Yes, I just broke through not long ago. It just so happened to coincide with this matter, so Father and Mother let me come over."

"Sister." Another voice came from the distance.

The group looked in the direction of the voice and saw a youth in white robes walking through the air; his speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, he landed in front of Cao Bu and the others.

"Leng Feng!" Leng Yue's eyes flashed with pleasant surprise when she saw who had arrived: "Did Father and Mother not come with you?"

Ever since marrying Gu Qingtian, she had not seen her family for several decades.

Leng Feng shook his head, his tone flat: "Father and Mother did not come."

While speaking, his gaze fell onto Cao Bu, and a strange look flickered in his eyes.

As Leng Yue's family from her maiden side, he was not unfamiliar with Cao Bu, but he had not expected his sister to bring Cao Bu to an occasion where only World Venerables and Quasi-Emperors could enter.

Cao Bu met Leng Feng's gaze and nodded calmly, which counted as a greeting.

After all, he was his brother-in-law in secret; this bit of etiquette for the occasion could not be lacking, and he certainly could not lose his composure.

Immediately after, more than a dozen forces arrived one after another.

A lower-ranked Elder from the Yunxiao Sect arrived.

For the Li Clan, where Li Xinxue belongs, her father came personally. Regarding this father-in-law, Cao Bu could not acknowledge him, which was truly somewhat helpless. He could only sigh secretly in his heart: You really did raise a good daughter.

As for the Lin Clan, Lin Xiaotian and Zhao Wei did not appear. The one who came was the Grand Elder of the clan, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with one foot already in the grave.
