Chapter 24 The Peach Banquet
On this day, Xuan Yao was sitting under the Enlightenment Tea Tree that exuded a clear and bright Daoist charm, with a black array plate engraved with intricate array patterns floating in front of him.
He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, and was completely focused on repeatedly deducing the infinite variations of using the formation to ward off evil.
After tens of thousands of years of sitting in meditation and deduction, with the blessing of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, he has thoroughly grasped the many basic array principles left by the green-robed Taoist, to the point that he can use them with ease.
But whenever he tried to perfectly integrate his domineering innate Xuan Sha with the formation that borrowed the power of heaven and earth,
Yet I always felt there was a layer separating us, and I could never truly understand the mystery within.
"Good deeds can stabilize the mind and prevent it from being tainted by karmic obstacles."
Xuan Sha can be used as an offensive weapon to annihilate powerful enemies.
The art of array formations can harness the power of heaven and earth to trap and kill all things…
Xuan Yao murmured to himself, his fingertips constantly tracing patterns on the array plate.
"But how exactly can these three elements be made to work together seamlessly, like an extension of one's own limb, so that they can thrive continuously?"
Just as he was pondering this for a long time.
"Buzz—"
The entire primordial world suddenly trembled slightly without any warning!
Immediately afterwards, a magnificent and ethereal supreme holy sound descended from the endless chaos beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, resounding throughout every corner of the primordial world!
Xuan Yao was startled and immediately stopped his deduction of the collapsing formation.
He suddenly stood up, strode out of the cave, and looked up at the sky.
Above the once azure sky, purple mist surged and thousands of auspicious rays appeared.
The divine voice of Heaven resounded once more, and the decree of Dao Ancestor Hongjun spanned the entire primordial world:
"The workings of Heaven must follow an order. I hereby appoint the leader of all immortals in the primordial world!"
"The Eastern King Duke is hereby appointed as the head of all male immortals, ruling over the Eastern Pole, given the title of Wood Duke, and bestowed with the innate spiritual treasure, the Dragon-Headed Staff, to govern all male immortals under heaven, regulate yin and yang, and stabilize the universe!"
"The Queen Mother of the West is hereby appointed as the head of all female immortals, ruling the westernmost region, and given the title of Golden Mother. She is bestowed with the primordial spiritual treasure, the Pure Water Bowl, and is given command of all female immortals of the primordial world, in charge of punishments, and overseeing creation!"
"You should all obey the will of Heaven and fulfill your respective duties!"
As soon as this decree was issued, the entire primordial world trembled violently!
Countless powerful beings, demon kings, and rogue cultivators who were cultivating in seclusion in famous mountains and rivers all showed expressions of horror and looked up at the sky.
Xuan Yao stood atop the peak of his own Qinghei Mountain Daoist temple, facing the rolling purple aura that filled the sky.
His usually stern face was now filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.
What was astonishing was that the grand scheme of things in this primordial world was indeed as he remembered from his previous life, with pieces being placed one by one.
After the lecture at Zixiao Palace, the two top innate deities, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, were officially placed on the stage of the immortal order by the Dao Ancestor and became the nominal rulers of the primordial world!
What pleased him was that the lineage of the Queen Mother of the West, to which he belonged, had now truly experienced a crazy surge in status!
Now, the Queen Mother of the West has regained her title as the female immortal who governs the primordial world, and is further blessed with the supreme spiritual treasure, the Pure Water Bowl, bestowed by the Dao Ancestor to suppress her destiny.
The prestige of his status as an inner disciple of the Queen Mother of the West will also rise accordingly, reaching an astonishing level!
Xuan Yao felt much more at ease.
He had already secretly planned his long-term strategy for the future, which involved the Heavenly Court of Haotian.
The fact that west Wangmu has now been personally appointed as the head of female immortals by the Dao Ancestor undoubtedly confirms this long line leading to a high position in the Heavenly Court!
This wave of investiture by the Dao Ancestor was not simply about increasing the prestige of the Queen Mother of the West in front of all living beings in the prehistoric world.
Rather, it signifies that the entire West Kunlun region has begun to truly occupy a leading position in the magnificent and turbulent future landscape!
As long as I continue to work steadily and surely, I will have a strong advantage in the primordial world in terms of acquiring cultivation resources, planning for heaven-defying opportunities, and strategizing to gain real power and a divine position in the Heavenly Court!
as predicted.
It has only been a little over a hundred years since the sacred words were spoken.
From the inner mountains of West Kunlun, a decree carrying supreme authority spread like a meteor throughout the vast territory surrounding West Kunlun.
After returning from listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, which is located thirty-three heavens away, the Queen Mother of the West has been officially bestowed the title of the head of the female immortals.
In order to invite all the immortals of the primordial world, to control the fortune of all female immortals, and at the same time to show favor to the wandering cultivators from all directions.
The Queen Mother of the West has decided to hold a grand Peach Banquet in the Jade Pool Wonderland!
The decree clearly states: All disciples of the Queen Mother of the West, invited immortals of the primordial world, and those who have formed a good relationship with Xi Kunlun are welcome to attend the banquet at Yaochi!
When Xuan Yao received this decree in his own temple, he was overjoyed.
It wasn't simply because he could taste the supreme flavor of the top-grade innate spiritual root peach of Ren water at this grand event.
After all, he still had more than half of the medicinal power of the Ren Water Peach in his body that had not been fully digested.
Rather, it's because this Peach Banquet holds significant meaning for him now.
One possibility is that the Queen Mother of the West returned from listening to the Dao, thus solidifying her position as the head of the female immortals.
This is a golden opportunity for their direct disciples to rise in status and increase their value.
When we travel through the primordial world in the future, who will dare not give the inner disciple of the head of the female immortals some face?
Secondly, this grand Peach Banquet invited immortals from the primordial world.
This means that a large number of rogue cultivators from the primordial world, reclusive female immortals, top-tier exotic species, and even those powerful figures from the Zixiao Palace who will one day dominate the primordial world, will gather in Xikunlun.
It's even possible that among them are top-tier experts from Zixiao Palace such as the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.
This is an extremely rare opportunity to broaden one's horizons and make many positive connections!
The most important aspect of cultivating good fortune is forming positive connections.
How could Xuan Yao possibly miss such a grand event?
Thirdly, and most importantly, this is what moved Xuan Yao the most.
Although he has been cultivating diligently under the Enlightenment Tea Tree for tens of thousands of years, he has reached the ultimate realm of Xuanxian perfection.
However, he has yet to find the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm.
If one could attend this grand and prestigious gathering, hear the great masters of Zixiao Palace discuss the Dao, and receive some of the innate water-elemental essence from the peaches of immortality, it would be a wonderful opportunity.
Who knows, the bottleneck that has been troubling him for so long will be broken through, ushering in a real opportunity for transformation!
After making up his mind, Xuan Yao briefly reviewed all the affairs of his Qingheishan Daoist temple from beginning to end.
The two enlightened disciples, Qingya and Yuanguo, along with the white fox lineage rescued from Wuyi Mountain, have now firmly established themselves in the mountains and are managing the temple in an orderly manner.
In addition, the protective mountain formation that Xuan Yao personally set up over the past tens of thousands of years has already taken shape.
This would allow him to leave for a while in peace and attend the Peach Banquet.
Therefore, Xuan Yao summoned Qingya, Yuanguo, and the leader of the White Fox Clan to his presence.
He ordered everyone to prepare the mountain gate in preparation for his return from the banquet.
Afterwards, Xuan Yao changed into a brand-new black Taoist robe, rode on a cloud of auspiciousness, transformed into a streak of light, and headed with high spirits toward the Yaochi Wonderland in the inner mountain of Xikunlun to attend the banquet!
