Chapter 459 - 459 468 Peach Banquet

459: Chapter 468 Peach Banquet 459: Chapter 468 Peach Banquet The reason is simple, because the Pan Peach Banquet offers the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine known as Peaches that vary from three thousand to nine thousand years old.

It’s known that consuming one of these Peaches can boost an Immortal by one Great Realm, which is why they are extremely coveted by the Group of Immortals.

Of course, not every Immortal can attend the Pan Peach Banquet, nor can just anyone taste the Peaches which are a kind of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine.

First of all, one needs an invitation from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court—like the Four Sea Dragon Kings and the Group of Immortals in the Heavenly Court, as well as some of the lesser Immortals who have contributed to the Heavenly Court.

Second, various powerful figures such as the Bodhisattva Buddhas from the Western Lingshan, or the Ten Palaces Yama from the Underworld, and many Daluo Golden Immortals.

While there are only these two conditions, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to heaven.

There’s no need to mention the powerful figures; anyone who steps into the Daluo Golden Immortal level, and is not of the Evil Demon kind, naturally qualifies for the Pan Peach Banquet.

Below the Daluo Golden Immortals, however, the number of those who can attend the Pan Peach Banquet is very few.

The Three Realms are vast, and Immortals are innumerable.

If everyone could attend the Pan Peach Banquet, the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven would not have enough space to accommodate all these Immortals.

Thus, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, who preside over the Pan Peach Banquet, will personally issue invitations to the Immortals below the Daluo level before the start of the banquet.

The reason why the Heavenly Capital City is so lively today is that the Immortal Qing Huo has received an invitation from the Heavenly Court.

Three years from now, he will be able to attend the once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year Pan Peach Banquet, which has led the Immortals from various places to come and congratulate him.

Most of the Immortals who have come to congratulate in the Heavenly Capital City are of the Heavenly Immortal rank, with few reaching the Taiyi Realm, and the majority are filled with low-level Cultivators.

Immortal Qing Huo, a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, is ranked among the Immortal Class of the Heavenly Court.

Upon receiving news that he could attend the Pan Peach Banquet, naturally, he wanted to invite his friends to celebrate in advance.

Heavenly Capital Arena.

Thousands of green stone tables and cases were spread out, with all sorts of fine wines and Spirit Fruits filling the tables, and countless lower-rank Immortals were toasting and drinking in merriment.

At the central seat of honor, Immortal Qing Huo’s complexion was rosy as he continually toasted the guests from all directions.

“Dear Daoist friends who have traveled from afar, I’m extremely honored.

I toast you all.” Immortal Qing Huo raised his cup in respect to the guests from all corners, which immediately elicited responses, adding to the festive atmosphere of the Heavenly Capital Arena.

“This time, Elder Qing Huo will participate in the Pan Peach Banquet, and will even be able to eat a three-thousand-year-old Peach; his cultivation will certainly climb to new heights.

I toast to Elder Qing Huo,” a Heavenly Immortal man said loudly and flattering, leading the charge by downing the wine in his cup, prompting laughter and agreement from the others.

“Elder Qing Huo, the Pan Peach Banquet is said to open once every hundred thousand years, and we are not fortunate enough to participate.

When you return, you must share with us the details of the Pan Peach Banquet, so we can broaden our horizons,” a charming Female Fairy smiled and said.

“Daoist Qing Huo, I’ve heard that within the Pan Peach Banquet, countless Daluo Golden Immortals will be present, and there are even rumors of Quasi-Saints attending.

Is this true?” a Golden Immortal laughed and inquired.

Upon mentioning a Quasi-Saint, the expressions of the low-level Immortals present all turned solemn, and even Immortal Qing Huo quickly stood up, respectfully raising his cup towards Heaven and Earth before turning back to the guests.

“Daoist friend, you jest.

Those of the Quasi-Saint rank are venerated across the Three Realms.

Although the Pan Peach Banquet is a grand event of the Three Realms, it was only during the first Pan Peach Banquet that a Quasi-Saint came.

Since then, no Quasi-Saint has attended any subsequent banquets,” Immortal Qing Huo said with a smile.

“Daoist Qing Huo speaks the truth,” sighed an Immortal.

“Let alone Quasi-Saints, those revered by all under Heaven and Earth, even Daluo Golden Immortals rarely make an appearance.

Perhaps only the Ginsengfruit Assembly, hosted by the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, might afford us a glimpse of a Quasi-Saint’s noble countenance.”

These Immortals possessed inferior cultivation, so Quasi-Saints and Daluo Golden Immortals, let alone those of the Luotian Realm, were beings beyond their wildest imaginations.

At this moment, as they engaged in lofty discussions and spoke of all under Heaven, they resembled Saints themselves, seemingly offering strategic advice with wide-ranging insight.

“The Peach Banquet?”

A murmuring voice quietly arose from a corner.

There sat Ye Xuan, dressed in black, alone at a table, yet the surrounding Immortals could not sense his presence at all.

“How fascinating, truly fascinating.”

Ye Xuan tapped at the table with his fingers, his lips curling into a slight, wry smile, while a glint of fierce coldness occasionally flashed through his eyes.

Ever since Ye Xuan had come out of seclusion, he had journeyed from the Northern Continent back to the Eastern Continent.

Along the way, he was not only in search of his old subordinates but also contemplating how to slaughter the Jade Emperor and usurp his throne as the Heavenly Emperor.

Coincidentally, upon arriving in Heavenly Capital City, he stumbled upon such news, sparking an extremely intriguing idea in his mind.

The Peach Banquet, occurring once every hundred thousand years, drew renowned and powerful Immortals from the Three Realms to gather within the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.

For Ye Xuan, this was an enormous opportunity.

He would break through the celestial bounds, suppress the Group of Immortals, execute the Jade Emperor, and unify the Three Realms.

With his Supreme Cultivation, he could sweep across the eight directions of Heaven and Earth, summoning myriad Demons with a single command, bolstered by the Jie Sect Immortals’ support, to firmly secure his position as the Heavenly Emperor.

To reorganize the Heavenly Court and be revered by all Three Realms, this Peach Banquet was his best chance indeed.

In the midst of broad and animated discussions by guests from all directions, a subtle smile crossed Ye Xuan’s face, yet the smile was eerie, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who caught a glimpse.

Had it been three thousand years earlier at the time of the Peach Banquet, Ye Xuan never would have entertained such a concept, for with the congregation of Daluo Immortals and Saints at the event, attending would have equated to seeking death.

But three thousand years later, Ye Xuan now harbored great confidence and believed himself capable of defeating any formidable enemy.

He had reached the Daluo Realm; he was no longer the insignificant figure of the past, and even when confronting the Jade Emperor, the sovereign of the Three Realms, he held immense confidence in his ability to vanquish him.

Ye Xuan was not being arrogant; he knew that the Jade Emperor’s cultivation was unfathomable, likely at the second watershed of the Daluo Realm.

But Ye Xuan practiced the Proving Dao with Power, and although he had attained only the Daluo First Layer Heaven, his combat power was by no means inferior to the Jade Emperor at the second watershed, with numerous trump cards at his disposal.

The Daluo Immortal Body and the Undying Primordial Spirit were not as simple as one plus one; they enabled Ye Xuan to transcend and battle those at the second watershed of the Daluo Realm.

And this was merely Ye Xuan’s personal cultivation level; he also had access to the defying heavenly Great Technique of the Tribulation Immortal Transformation, as well as the Heavenly Punishment Halberd and the Reverse Immortal Array Map.

Even if Daluo Immortals banded together against him as enemies, he was confident he could suppress them all.

To sweep across Heaven and Earth and be invincible—that was Ye Xuan’s current confidence.

“Alas!”

Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan found himself immersed in his thoughts, a sigh echoed from among the guests.

“In all Three Realms, the true paragon of outstanding splendor was none other than Emperor Dongji from three thousand years ago.

If he were still alive, he would undoubtedly have a place at this Peach Banquet.”
