Chapter 1022: Chapter 1041: Twenty Thousand Years Later
Buzhou Mountain, Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.
The myriad immortals come to worship, attracting the attention of the Three Realms.
The battle between Ye Xuan and the Heavenly Sect Master shocked the Three Realms, giving all spirits a clear understanding of Ye Xuan.
The Western Two Saints perished soul scattered, while Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi were defeated and fled. Even Hong Jun Dao Ancestor, who harmonized with the Heavenly Dao, was unable to do anything against Ye Xuan.
As this news spread throughout the Three Realms, Ye Xuan presented an invincible trend, revered to the extreme by the beings of the Three Realms, and the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven also prospered.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Peach Banquet commenced at the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven. For a while, the myriad immortals came to worship, demons visited, and all well-known powerful figures came to attend this Peach Banquet.
In the Turquoise Pool.
Quasi-Saints gathered, Daluo all present, Ziwei Heavenly Emperor seated at the center, while Ye Xuan and the Heavenly Sect Master sat cross-legged above the Nine Heavens, a grand Peach Banquet lasting for three years.
“Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, Daoist Lu Ya, I toast to you both.”
Above the Nine Heavens, Ye Xuan held a wine cup, toasting Zhen Yuanzi in the void, causing Zhen Yuanzi and Lu Ya, who were present at the Peach Banquet, to hurriedly rise and drink the immortal brew in their cups.
This gesture by Ye Xuan drew the attention of the myriad immortals, who looked towards Zhen Yuanzi and Lu Ya with envy.
It’s important to know that since the Peach Banquet began, Ye Xuan and the Heavenly Sect Master had never actively toasted others, and Zhen Yuanzi and Lu Ya receiving this honor indicated Ye Xuan held them in high esteem.
Unfortunately, no one saw the heaviness in Zhen Yuanzi and Lu Ya’s eyes, nor any joy on their faces, instead, there was a hint of obscure worry.
The Peach Banquet lasted three years and finally ended, with Zhen Yuanzi and Lu Ya leaving in haste, while the Heavenly Sect Master bid farewell to return to Biyou Palace, leaving the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven to quiet down.
Within the Heavenly Venerate Palace.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void, strands of chaos mysterious fog wrapped around him, below him were Huang Pazi and Gu Beichen, both Ye Xuan’s confidants.
“You two have followed me for over two hundred thousand years. Beichen is now at the Quasi-Saint Realm, while Huang Pazi, you’ve been a Daluo Golden Immortal for many years.” Ye Xuan spoke slowly.
“Sir, my aptitude is dull. Cultivating to Daluo Golden Immortal is thanks to your care, naturally not comparable to that brat Gu Beichen.” Huang Pazi laughed with a jaunty smile.
“Huang Pazi, the sir is discussing serious matters, stop joking around.” Gu Beichen said with a smile.
“You brat, don’t think that stepping into Quasi-Saint makes you proud. Remember how you were just a little brat before Huang Grandpa?” Huang Pazi retorted angrily.
“You’re getting more and more unruly.” Gu Beichen shook his head with a bitter smile. It’s been so many years, and Huang Pazi hasn’t changed a bit. Thinking of the experiences in the Human World, Gu Beichen felt quite sentimental.
“You’ve followed me for many years, truly I haven’t given you much.” Ye Xuan sighed.
“Sir, please don’t say so. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have set foot on the path of eternal life, perhaps we would’ve died long ago in the Mortal World.” Gu Beichen hurriedly replied.
“Sir, it was you who rescued me from the Prison Department, otherwise Huang Pazi would have died countless years ago. Being a Daluo Golden Immortal today, I am satisfied.” Huang Pazi said solemnly.
Buzz!
A strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi emerged from Ye Xuan’s hand. He looked at Huang Pazi and Gu Beichen, saying: “Now, I hold a Hongmeng Purple Qi in my hand, which can enable one of you to become a Saint.”
When Ye Xuan produced the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Huang Pazi and Gu Beichen understood Ye Xuan’s intent, making their expressions extremely complex.
“Sir, I do not want this chance to become a Saint. Give it to Huang Pazi, Beichen can become Dao in a different way.” Gu Beichen bowed deeply.
“Bullshit, what good is it for me to be a Heavenly Dao Saint when all I want is to follow you, sir.”
Huang Pazi outright refused, then bowed deeply to Ye Xuan, saying: “Sir, Gu Beichen is already at the Quasi-Saint level, giving him this Hongmeng Purple Qi is for the best, should he become a Saint, he can better help you with some trivial matters.”
“Impossible, he must become a Saint.” Gu Beichen said coldly.
“You brat, don’t you dare rebel. Now you’re not even listening to me? After all, in the Human World, I was like half of your teacher.” Huang Pazi shouted angrily.
“You two don’t need to argue anymore, let me finish speaking, then decide yourselves.” Ye Xuan spoke in a low voice: “The so-called Heavenly Dao Saint is merely a pseudo-Saint, not a true Saint. Just that Heavenly Dao Saint is born relying on the Heavenly Dao, with the support of Heavenly Dao’s power, thus surpasses Quasi-Saint, furthermore can be undying.”
“However, there’s one thing you must understand: should you become a Heavenly Dao Saint, you will also be shackled by the Heavenly Dao, forever remaining in the Three Realms and Heaven and Earth.”
As Ye Xuan explained gradually, Huang Pazi and Gu Beichen’s expressions grew heavy, already understanding the meaning behind Ye Xuan’s words.
“I can feel my cultivation increasing each day. When I step into the Heavenly Dao Six Tribulations, I will surely face Hong Jun. If able to pass the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, perhaps I will leave this world.”
“Hence, I offer you a choice. Should I become Saint among Saints, one of you shall follow me out of the Three Realms, while the other shall become a Heavenly Dao Saint, which I propose as your decision.” Ye Xuan said gravely.
“No need to choose, this Heavenly Dao Saint I won’t want, Huang Pazi only wishes to follow by your side, wherever you go, I go.” Huang Pazi declared firmly.
“Beichen is the same.” Gu Beichen bowed deeply.
“All right.”
Ye Xuan nodded slowly, putting away the Hongmeng Purple Qi. He truly had not misjudged them; indeed, the so-called Heavenly Dao Saint couldn’t shake their resolve.
Ye Xuan could sense that since mastering a strand of power of space-time, his cultivation was terrifyingly increasing daily. It wouldn’t be much longer, perhaps a few thousand years, before facing the Heavenly Dao Six Tribulations.
In the unseen realms, Ye Xuan had a premonition of the Heavenly Dao Six Tribulations marking the greatest life-and-death crisis he had ever faced. This feeling was intense, weighing Ye Xuan down heavily.
The intuition of a person is exceedingly accurate, particularly at Ye Xuan’s level, which makes him feel the onset of death. The Heavenly Dao Six Tribulations will be terrifying beyond belief.
…
Time flows like water, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another ten thousand years have passed.
Beyond the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven!
A youth with tattered clothes walked through the starry skies, bound tightly by a black chain. Behind him lay giant stars, struggling to move the giant stars along.
“Red Dust Battle Body, All Method Immunity, if you seek revenge against Ye Xuan, you must first surpass his disciple; Lin Feiyun, whether in cultivation aptitude or cunning means, far exceeds you. Without mastering the Red Dust Battle Body, not to mention seeking revenge against Ye Xuan, you’ll die at Lin Feiyun’s hands.”
