Chapter 324 Immortal Life Is Just a Show
Ao Yi, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d is at the Immortality Peach Banquet today. See if I…
In front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang, who was dressed in bright silver armor, was grinding his teeth. Twelve times!
Twelve times!
All these years, he had been fooling around in the East, South, and North Dragon Palaces. He had been drunk twelve times. Every time he woke up, he would lie on a huge bed. What he saw each time were some… some… strange living beings that were completely indescribable!
At first, it was still alright. They were just some old women of the Sea Clan who were wearing heavy makeup. Later on, the mischievous Ao Yi seemed to have developed new ideas and gathered all kinds of things…
Who has ever seen a sea maiden with an octopus head and an enchanting figure?
Who has ever seen a slender man who has stubble on his face but also a gorgeous figure!?!
Bian Zhuang trembled a few times. The scene was really unbearable to look back at. Then, he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.
However, despite that, he had received orders to stand there and serve the dragons as acquaintances from the Dragon Palace.
It was impossible for him to attack. He could only put on a smiling face and hope to receive the Sea G.o.d’s praise.
Why is Ao Yi deliberately going against me?
Bian Zhuang muttered in his heart. Suddenly, a thunderous drum sounded from the Central Heavenly Gate. A few white clouds were covered in golden light as they flew over with the dragon race.
The Heavenly Soldiers in front opened the path, and the Heavenly Generals surrounded them.
At that moment, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall shone with a resplendent golden light. Waves of brilliant Heavenly Dao power supported it, making the treasure hall even more majestic.
Bian Zhuang and the fifteen Heavenly Generals beside him raised their heads and puffed out their chests at the same time. When the experts of the dragon race approached, they spread out to the left and right. According to the instructions of the Sea G.o.d, they all revealed gentle smiles.
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor sat upright on the platform with a faint smile on his lips.
General Dongmu and dozens of officials and generals stood on either side.
Those officials were also the legitimate G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts. They were almost all the “experts” that the Heavenly Courts could produce. Most of them were from the ancient human race. There were more than ten of them who were competent subordinates that had followed the emperors.
When the dragon race arrived in front of the hall, General Dongmu went out to welcome them on behalf of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor walked down half of the jade steps and emitted a strong heavenly might.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings looked at each other and entered together. They walked to the center of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and bowed.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean took a step forward. His brocade robe emitted a faint glow and his wide sleeves, which were almost touching the ground, swayed slightly.
Almost at the same time, the Dragon King of the East Ocean, the Jade Emperor, General Dongmu, and the Immortal G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts, more or less, thought about it…
It was Li Changshou’s voice. Apart from the Dragon Palace of the West Ocean, which of the figures there had not been instructed by Li Changshou more than three times?
At that moment, although Li Changshou had yet to appear physically, he was everywhere.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean took out a golden invitation card and spoke in a deep voice.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean said unhurriedly, “The dragon race has been invited by the Heavenly Courts to attend the Immortal Peach Banquet. Today, we would like to see the Heavenly Emperor to thank him for his concern. Our race was born in the beginning of the Chaos. We once ignored the life and death of all living beings and carried the negative karma of the Primordial World. Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor did not give up. Fortunately, the Sea G.o.d helped us and allowed our race to break free from the shackles of negative karma. The entire race is grateful to the Heavenly Emperor. Today, we specially came to thank the Heavenly Emperor!”
After saying that, the golden invitation turned into a ray of golden light and returned to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and sighed.
“The dragon race came from the ancient times. They have some ties with me. Although they had made the mistake of wrecking the Primordial World previously, they guarded the Sea Eye of the Four Seas and protected the living beings of the world for a long time. They naturally deserve some credit. There is nothing major today. I only wanted to invite the four dragon kings to the Heavenly Courts for a chat. Is the Jade Pool ready?”
General Dongmu said, “Your Majesty, the Jade Pool is ready.”
“Then let’s not wait for Changgeng.” The Jade Emperor smiled. “Dear ministers, accompany me and the heroes of the dragon race to the Jade Pool for a banquet.”
The immortals of the Heavenly Courts bowed and thanked him in unison.
This situation, including the conversation between the two parties, had actually all been screened by an ordinary minister.
Especially the Jade Emperor’s words. If the Jade Emperor said that the dragon race would be exempt from the karma, the Heavenly Dao might really exempt the dragon race from the karma. Then, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
At that moment, the Jade Emperor walked over and personally invited the Dragon King of the East Ocean to go out of the hall. Together, they boarded the Jade Emperor’s Nine Dragons Divine Carriage and headed towards the Jade Pool with the Heavenly Courts’ immortals, nearly a hundred dragons, and tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
On the divine carriage, the Dragon King of the East Ocean was sitting diagonally opposite the Jade Emperor. At that moment, he was sending a voice transmission.
“Don’t worry, Jade Emperor. The Sea G.o.d has already told me what to do.”
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Dragon King, you have also come from the ancient times. You don’t have to call yourself using such an inferior term in front of others.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean stood up and bowed. He then sat back down under the Jade Emperor’s instructions.
When the disciples of the dragon race saw this scene, they felt as if a seasoning container had been overturned in their hearts. The feeling was very complicated.
Is this still the current chief of the dragon race who likes to lie on the throne and enjoy the gentle ma.s.sage of the Sea Maiden?
The dragon race is really going to…
Even though everyone knew that the dragon race was loyal to the Heavenly Courts, which was beneficial and not harmful, they still could not help but resist when it came to the matter.
The Jade Emperor’s carriage arrived near the Jade Pool. The female immortals flew out of the Jade Pool in rows. Half of them were holding flower baskets and palace lanterns.
Half of them were playing music and dancing in the clouds. Their long sleeves fluttered like clouds.
“Dragon King, please.”
“Your Majesty, please.”
The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile and stepped out of the carriage. The Dragon King of the East Ocean followed behind the Jade Emperor naturally.
The Dragon King’s originally imposing figure was now a little hunched. The hundred immortals and hundred dragons followed behind and entered the Jade Pool together.
The Queen Mother brought a few female immortals from the Jade Pool and stood quietly in the sky above the Immortal Island where the Immortal Peach Banquet was held. She was naturally elegant and graceful.
The Jade Emperor walked forward. The Queen Mother bowed slightly. The Jade Emperor bowed slightly and smiled.
“Junior Sister, this is the Dragon King of the East Ocean. He is also the current leader of the dragon race.”
The Dragon King of the East Ocean bowed and bowed. “Greetings, Queen Mother.” “There’s no need to be so polite,” the Queen Mother replied warmly. Then, she did not say anything else and accompanied the Jade Emperor to the throne below.
Li Changshou had adjusted the venue slightly.
Originally, the four Sea Dragon Kings’ seats were behind General Dongmu and Li Changshou’s seats. At this moment, Li Changshou had split them into two and had the dragon race members gather on the right.
Both parties sat down. Rows of fairies walked over and served wine and immortal fruits.
More than ten Chang’e fairies of the Moon Palace stepped forth to perform a dance, and the mood was quickly lifted.
The Jade Emperor smiled and asked, “Junior Sister, when can the immortal peaches be eaten?”
“Your Majesty, the immortal peaches will only ripen in a few hours. I’ve already ordered someone to wait in the Immortal Peach Garden. When the immortal peaches are ripe, I’ll pluck them. That’s the best way.”
“Alright.” The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile. He was indirectly telling the dragons to calm down and wait patiently.
At that moment, the Heavenly General quickly reported.
“Your Majesty, Zhao Gongming, the expert from the Luofu Cave of Mount Ermei, has entered the Heaven Gate and is heading towards the Jade Pool!”
“Oh?”
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Gongming and Changgeng are close friends. Please add a seat beside Changgeng’s seat. Please welcome him on my behalf. Don’t neglect him.”
“Yes!”
