Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 269: The Gathering of Immortals Flags Raised, Thousands of Immortals Arrived, the Peach Banquet Ended, Jade Mountain Retreats
If Mingyu's guess is correct, this Peach Banquet will be the last one held in the Lich Age.
"Sister Bluebird, how many people have not received the invitation yet?" Mingyu asked after a moment of silence.
"There are still Goddess Lishan and Goddess Bixia of Mount Tai who have not been sent yet." The Blue Bird replied. Originally, not many people were invited, and the others were easy to find. It was just that Mingyu ran a little far away, so the Blue Bird was afraid that he would run away to other places, so he came here first.
"Then you should go quickly. These two ladies should go to Yushan." Mingyu answered with certainty.
Bluebird blinked, not understanding how he knew that. However, if it was true, that would be a good thing, much better than not being able to hire anyone.
"Then you should hurry to Yushan. Her Majesty has specifically asked you to take a look at the arrangements for this Peach Banquet. After all, you were the one who hosted the first banquet." Thinking of the first banquet, Blue Bird chuckled. That banquet was considered the most lively time in West Kunlun, unlike now when it is a bit deserted.
"Yes, go ahead." Mingyu nodded and said half-jokingly, "You will pass through the territory of the Wu Clan when you go to Mount Tai. Other things are easy to deal with, but you have to be careful with the Ju Mang Clan. The Ju Mang ancestor Wu loves to rob people!"
"If that's the case, then I have to be careful." Bluebird replied with a smile. She had also heard from the Queen Mother about the feud between Mingyu and Ju Mang.
"Goodbye, I'm going to Yushan now. Maybe I can fulfill my true duty as a guide for once!"
Mingyu stretched out his hand in the air and his body turned into a sword light and went straight to West Kunlun.
…
"Brother Luwu, how are you?"
Mingyu came to the foot of Jade Mountain and saw the mighty Kaiming beast again. He was diligently keeping his eighteen tiger eyes open, monitoring the surroundings with a piercing gaze to prevent any thieves from coming.
"It's Mingyu. Come up the mountain quickly. The Queen is waiting for you!" Lu Wu was also very happy to see Mingyu. He obviously still remembered Mingyu, the "one of his own" who hosted the first Peach Banquet.
Mingyu looked up and saw the top of Jade Mountain. The bright clouds reflected the sky and the green mist covered the top of the mountain.
There was a small flag fluttering in the wind, emitting infinite light, and the clouds and fog in all directions dispersed, and dragons roared, tigers howled, deer cried, and cranes cried. When this flag was unfurled, a myriad of strange images filled the air, and waves of strange fragrance rose, and the sky and the earth became bright.
"The flag of gathering immortals is raised, all the immortals gather!"
Thousands of female fairies from West Kunlun and a group of ancient immortals who were hidden from the world rose into the sky and gathered at Jade Mountain. Thousands of golden lights rolled in red neon, and thousands of auspicious auras emitted purple mist.
It can truly be said that: the vast blue sky is bottomless, the sun and the moon shine on the golden and silver platforms, the rainbow is clothes and the wind is a horse, the king of clouds comes in droves, the tiger plays the harp and the phoenix turns the chariot, and the immortals are lined up like hemp.
"Ten thousand immortals are here to pay homage. Is this the 'family feast' that Queen Yao Chi mentioned?" Mingyu's mouth twitched.
But think about it, as the lord of West Kunlun, he summoned the fairies of West Kunlun to hold a Peach Banquet, which is just a family banquet!
The Queen Mother of the West stood on the top of Jade Mountain and saw thousands of immortals gathered together, with thousands of rainbow lights and boundless power. For a moment, she was also filled with heroic spirit.
"We are here to see the Queen Mother!"
"All the immortals, please stand up!"
"Thank you, my lady!"
All the fairies stood up respectfully. They looked at the Queen Mother on the platform on the top of the mountain. Suddenly they found that the Queen Mother, who was usually dignified, elegant and serious, was unusually gentle today. Her temperament was soft and gentle, which made all the fairies feel close to her.
"Today we are gathering the immortals for no other reason than to hold the Peach Banquet a hundred years from now!"
As soon as these words came out, the immortals were excited and indescribably excited. Especially the female immortals who had recently recorded their names in the Golden Book were overjoyed. They had long heard of the wonders of Yao Chi Niangniang's peaches, but they had only been immortals for a short time, and apart from a few people, not many people had tasted the peaches.
They all knew that if the Queen Mother waved her flag to gather the immortals and only summoned the immortals from West Kunlun, it would mean that the number of peaches distributed would be very large, even if these peaches were produced from cultivated seedlings.
"Great! Your Majesty is finally going to hold the Peach Banquet."
"Last time, I got a small piece. I hope I can get half this time!"
"Your cultivation level hasn't improved, but you have a nice dream. If you want to eat half of a peach, even if it's the lowest level, you have to be a Golden Fairy at least!"
"Humph, I just happened to be promoted to Golden Immortal some time ago..."
All the female fairies were attracted by the Peach Banquet. They were overjoyed and communicating with each other.
Only the ancient immortals of West Kunlun smelled an unusual atmosphere.
"Du'e, what do you think the Queen Mother Yao Chi meant by waving the flag to gather the immortals this time?"
Hearing this, a Taoist priest in linen clothes and cloth shoes shook his head slowly, "Don't think too much. If the Queen said to hold a Peach Banquet, then it is a Peach Banquet. Let's go back and prepare the gifts."
"Well, no matter what kind of disturbances there are in the ancient world, let's take it one step at a time!" The tall and burly Taoist nodded, and went down Jade Mountain with Master Du'e.
The other fairies followed suit, some followed the guidance of the Jade Mountain Fairy to arrange everything for the Peach Banquet, while others returned to their homes and mountains to prepare gifts.
Mingyu mingled among the crowd, looking back and forth among the fairies of Yushan.
"Who are you looking for ?"
"Looking for Xuannv!"
Mingyu answered subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong. His neck stiffened and he slowly turned around, and saw the dignified and elegant Queen Mother looking at him with a smile.
"It's you, senior. You scared me." Mingyu said angrily.
Yao Chi said: "Scared? You scared me. If we hadn't gone to the outer world, I wouldn't have known you were so bold!"
What she was talking about was obviously the incident in which Mingyu killed everyone in the long river of Tianwai Avenue and tried to seize the Chunyang Wuji Avenue in front of a group of big guys.
Mingyu touched the back of his head and said, "I did this for the sake of my spiritual path. It was just a spur of the moment thing, so I didn't think too much about it."
"You are so bold. I can't say that you have been planning this for a long time, but it is definitely not something you did on a whim. If it weren't for Nuwa and Fuxi suppressing you from above, you would have made a hole sooner or later." Yao Chi said, and took Mingyu for a walk in Yushan.
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior. How could I be so capable?"
Yao Chi glared at him, "Is he praising you?"
Mingyu looked surprised, "Isn't it?"
Yao Chi was so shameless that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head and continued to ask, "What do you think of the current situation?"
"Are you telling the truth or a lie?"
Yao Chi looked at him with a playful look, and asked curiously, "How do you tell a lie, and how do you tell the truth?"
"Of course it's a lie. Under the guidance of Daozu, the relay of the three thousand guests of Zixiao, and the efforts of all living beings in the prehistoric world, now there are thousands of Daos contending in the world, and many powerful people are emerging. There are tens of thousands of Golden Immortals and Daluo everywhere. This scene is extremely glorious. It can be said to be the third golden age in the prehistoric world. If it continues to develop, it will definitely..."
Yao Chi stared in amazement at Mingyu who was talking so eloquently. Although there was nothing wrong with this "lie", the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
"Alright, alright, tell the truth!"
"This is the era of witches and demons." Mingyu answered, his words were concise but to the point.
What he said above is not actually a lie, it just has a premise.
Yao Chi was stunned, chewing over this sentence repeatedly, and was silent for a long time. She slowly said: "Yes, this is the era of the witch clan and the demon clan. Compared with us old guys who are standing still, they are very enterprising. If you don't want to fight them, you should give way to them."
Mingyu didn't know how to respond to this, after all, he was also a spiritual master of the demon race.
"No wonder the empress, the great god, and the demon master didn't come. If they came, it would just add to the trouble."
The two of them just left, and the scene fell into silence for a while.
"The Peach Banquet is over, and I retire to Yushan."
Queen Mother of the West suddenly said, her eyes fell straight on Mingyu, making Mingyu feel scared.
"Senior, what are you looking at me doing?" Mingyu asked weakly.
"Donghua's death proves that the era of us old guys has passed. So, I plan to make way for the Wu Clan and the Demon Clan. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Mingyu's heartbeat slowed down.
It's almost life-threatening. Can't you put it more tactfully?
No matter how friendly I am with Yushan, my identity as the Spirit Lord of the Demon Clan is still there. You ask me what I think and whether it is appropriate?
Fortunately, Mingyu was thick-skinned and adjusted his mindset in an instant. He said, "Geniuses emerge from generation to generation in the prehistoric world. Each generation has its own stage. The temporary rest is for a better comeback in the future."
"Is this what you thought?"
"Indeed."
"real?"
“It couldn’t be more true.”
"Great kindness!"
Yao Chi couldn't stop smiling, she was quite satisfied with Mingyu's answer.
As an eternal ancestor who has experienced the catastrophe of ferocious beasts, the war between three tribes, and the struggle between immortals and demons; as an extremely powerful person who has achieved the status of King of the West and is in charge of the thunder punishment of the great world, Yao Chi Jin Mu naturally has her own wisdom in dealing with the world.
How could she not know the general situation of the world?
The Lich is too powerful to be resisted, so why bother fighting it?
The fallen Donghua is a lesson for us.
Everyone wants to see the scenery at the top of the mountain, but there are not many places at the top of the mountain. When others are aggressively trying to occupy the top of the mountain, you might as well step back and wait on the mountainside.
It will not be too late for you to reach the top when the people on the top of the mountain fall down because of the scramble!
