Tianshiyuan is the marketplace in the sky.
With the Emperor's throne as the center, it has two walls on the left and right, totaling twenty-two star fields, all of which are the vast universe and the main balance of the sky.
Now the Heavenly Court has set up the Xuanhuang Banquet, and the Tianshi Wall is open to the three realms.
Seeing that the main banquet had not yet begun, many of the immortals and gods from the three realms transformed themselves and gathered here.
Baidi Shaohao listened to his senior brother's advice and ran away decisively.
She strolled through the major city buildings and long streets, but in fact she was strolling through twenty-two universes.
On Tianji Street, Baidi stopped in front of a Taoist stall owner.
This Taoist has white hair and beard, a simple face, and a free and unworldly appearance. He looks a bit like an immortal or a master of Taoism, and people respect him at first sight.
He held a bamboo pole in his hand, on which hung a spiritual banner with four words written on it: The master points the way.
Baidi looked at the Taoist curiously and asked, "Does the demon master also have a stall in Tianshiyuan?"
Kunpeng was closing his eyes to rest, pretending not to see Baidi.
When his identity was suddenly exposed, his hands trembled and several strands of his beard were broken.
"All the immortals and gods have their own place in Tianshiyuan. I have nothing to do, so I set up a stall here just for fun."
Looking at Baidi who was like a curious baby, Kunpeng coughed twice awkwardly, set up restrictions everywhere, and then talked to Baidi.
"Why is the Lord still here?"
Kunpeng didn't give Baidi a chance to ask questions and quickly changed the subject.
Baidi was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Why not? Don't we all just use fake accounts to come to the Heavenly Palace to eat, drink, and have fun?"
This truth is so real that Kunpeng can't handle it.
To some extent, the Xuanhuang Banquet is a large-scale team-building activity for the immortals and gods of the Three Realms.
However, Kunpeng still argued softly and said, "Actually, there is something important going on."
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a meeting at the Emperor's throne."
"Meeting?"
Just as Baidi was about to ask in detail, he saw the road shaking in the distance, with a fairy-like mist and a carriage coming towards him.
This chariot is thirty zhang long and ten zhang wide, and is all colorful. It is neither gold nor jade. Flowing in it, it is not visible. Above it is a canopy of fragrant clouds, which are pulled down to form a curtain. There are garlands and curtains, and pearls and jade jingle. Faintly, one can see the image of a majestic emperor sitting on the cloud bed in the curtain.
This carriage appeared on the Tianji Street. The light of merit was as brilliant as the sea, gathering into a canopy of merit, with garlands and pearls hanging down, and golden rays of light covering the sun and the moon.
A clear divine light of merit and virtue sheds down, and the immortal spirit of immortality is abundant, nourishing all living things, suppressing all evil, cleansing the devil, and purifying the heaven and earth.
"Junior sister, you haven't gone to the imperial throne yet?"
A clear voice came from the carriage frame, Mingyu stretched out a hand and pulled Baidi onto the frame.
He and Kunpeng nodded to each other, and then asked the driver to lead the imperial chariot away.
"Eh? Senior Brother, are you out of trouble?"
Baidi sat opposite Mingyu, his leisurely smile tinged with cunning.
Mingyu smiled and said, "I've never been trapped, so how can I ever be free?"
Bai Di covered his mouth and laughed secretly, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked: "Who are the people at the Emperor's gathering?"
Mingyu said as a matter of course: "All the saints and emperors will come."
Baidi's eyes lit up.
"The Great God will come too?"
Mingyu nodded and said, "To be precise, it's Qing Emperor Taihao."
Baidi Shaohao understood immediately.
This is the big gathering of vests!
As the two were talking, the East Sky Gate opened wide, thunder rumbled across the universe, and six green dragons soared into the sky, pulling a thunder chariot out of the void. They ran like lightning, and their breathing was like beating drums, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Speaking of Qingdi, Qingdi is here!
When Qing Emperor Taihao saw Mingyu's imperial carriage, he laughed out loud and said, "What a coincidence! Let's go in together."
Mingyu and the other one have no objection.
Then, the Green Emperor entered the imperial throne from the east gate, and the Mingyu Emperor entered from the south gate.
Emperor Haotian of Heaven and Queen Mother Yaochi came out to greet them personally.
"Greetings, fellow Taoists!"
"Great Celestial Lord, Queen Mother, we are honored!"
Several people nodded to each other.
At this time, the imperial carriages of Huangdi Xuanyuan and Yandi Shennong arrived one after another.
Xuanyuan wore a yellow robe, a yellow jade Taiyi imperial crown, and the seal of Shenzong Yanghe, and came in a carriage pulled by a coiled dragon.
Shennong wore a robe of red light, a nine-dan red cloud imperial crown on his head, a luminous seal of innocence, and arrived riding a red dragon imperial chariot.
The emperors exchanged greetings.
Soon, Zhen Yuanzi arrived.
He was also dressed in formal attire today, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, a worry-free crane cloak, sandals on his feet, and a silk ribbon tied around his waist. He had the appearance of a boy and the face of a beauty, with three whiskers flowing under his chin and crow feathers on his temples.
When Zhen Yuanzi saw the Blue Emperor, the White Emperor, Xuanyuan Shennong, and Mingyu Haotian all arriving in their imperial carriages, he jokingly said, "You great emperors all display such pomp and circumstance, leaving me, a poor Taoist, feeling so shabby!"
The emperors all confessed their crimes.
Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "I've always heard that the Immortal is easygoing, low-key, and not fond of ostentation. Seeing him today, I can see that the rumors are true."
Queen Mother Yao Chi also tried to smooth things over.
While everyone was talking and laughing, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly stopped. He found that the jade chime he was carrying had a crack.
He flicked his whisk, repaired himself secretly, then stood up and laughed: "My fellow Taoists, it seems that the saint has arrived!"
Everyone looked and saw Tongtian Sect Master riding on Kui Niu coming. There was a mist of sandalwood turning into three thousand clouds, and a faint sword energy formed a mist.
"We have seen the saint!"
"No need to be so polite, fellow Taoists!"
The Patriarch Tongtian dismounted from the ox and bowed his head.
The Emperor of Heaven said happily, "It is a great honor for me that the Saint has come here."
The leader smiled and said, "The Great Celestial Venerable has invited me so graciously, how can I not come?"
The leader gave the Emperor such face that the smile on his face became even wider.
As soon as the words fell, the sound of dragon roars was heard.
Everyone looked and saw a strong fragrance wafting into the air. The sky was covered with clouds and nine carriages were approaching. The Jade Purity Saint had arrived!
Another round of greetings.
Then, purple air came from the east for thirty thousand miles.
The Taiqing Sage came riding a green ox. The person holding the reins had red lips, white teeth, and clear eyes, without a trace of dust. It was the Sage's disciple Xuandu.
"We have met Fellow Daoist Taiqing!"
Everyone greeted.
Purple air floated, and the green ox landed. Laozi smiled calmly, "No need to be so polite!"
He asked Xuandu to hand over three gourds of golden elixirs.
“This is a courtesy for attending the meeting.”
The Emperor of Heaven, Yao Chi, and Ming Yu smiled and did not refuse.
Let Venus, Xuannv and Chenxing receive them respectively.
The Green Emperor jokingly said, "Brother Daoist, all the emperors are here, why are you only sending three gourds? That's a bit petty."
Zhen Yuanzi also laughed: "Everyone in the prehistoric world knows that I have the Grass-Returning Elixir from the Five-Village Monastery, but few know that the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir from the Eight-View Palace is even better. Now that we're all gathered here, why don't you give us eight or ten gourds so that we can promote it to you?"
Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor and Bai Emperor just smiled and said nothing.
But all eyes were on Taiqing.
Perhaps it was the first time that Taiqing was being ripped off, and he felt a little amused and helpless.
He quickly tightened his sleeves and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, not even a single gourd ."
As usual, Taiqing paid for the admission of the two brothers, Tianzun and Jiaozhu.
Not only did they not help, but they joined the other emperors in making trouble.
Tianzun said: "Brother, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together, so just obey!"
The leader agreed deeply and said, "In the art of alchemy, my elder brother is the foremost among the ancients. And the Human Sect only has one disciple, Xuandu, who has lived for millions of years without any consumption. He must have a large stockpile of supplies. Providing a hundred or eighty gourds should be no problem."
"It just so happens that our little gathering should be called a Dan Yuan Dao Hui!"
Upon hearing this, the emperors all laughed and said, "Right, right, right! The Dan Yuan Meeting before the Xuan Huang Banquet is just perfect!"
The Great Immortal Zhenyuan, together with the two leaders of Chan and Jie, the three giants of heaven, and the four emperors of the human race, "robbed" the Saint Taiqing. How could Taiqing resist?
He kept saying, "Stop, stop, stop! I will do as you say, as you say!"
He called Xuandu forward and took out nine more gourds.
Everyone laughed.
Soon, two people from the West arrived, and golden light filled the sky, and golden lotuses bloomed in all directions.
Then two songs were heard.
One said:
"When the Great Awakening Golden Immortal is at the same level, the Western Wonderful Dharma Patriarch Bodhi.
The three threes of neither birth nor death, full energy, full spirit and infinite compassion.
Emptiness and silence naturally change, and the true nature allows it to happen.
"A majestic body with a lifespan equal to the heavens, a great Dharma master who has enlightened his mind through countless calamities."
Second:
"The golden light of the precious flames reflects the sun's brightness, and the exotic fragrance and colors are even more subtle and refined.
There are endless scenes in the Seven Treasures Forest, and auspicious pearls fall beside the Eight Virtues Pond.
The pure quality of the fairy flowers is rarely seen, and the fairy music of the sheng and huang is even clearer to the ears.
The Western Paradise is truly enviable, for all are born within the petals of lotus flowers."
The two Westerners arrived in a high-profile manner as always.
"Hello fellow Taoists!"
As soon as they arrived at the central imperial throne, Jie Yin and Zhunti greeted everyone.
When the Three Pure Ones and the emperors saw this, they smiled and walked forward in tacit understanding.
"The two fellow Taoists are finally here!"
The Three Pure Ones and the emperors were so overly enthusiastic that Zhunti Jieyin felt inexplicably panicked.
The Three Pure Ones surrounded Jie Yin, and the emperors asked Zhunti to step aside.
After a harmonious discussion, Jie Yin and Zhunti volunteered to sponsor the Danyuan Taoist Conference with Bodhi seeds and meritorious lotus seeds.
"My two fellow Daoists are so righteous!"
Taiqing smiled and seemed to be in a much better mood.
The smiles of Jie Yin and Zhunti were uglier than crying.
It has always been the West that has taken advantage of others, so why is the situation changing this time?
It wasn’t like this before!
Who sets the pace?!
The two saints had no time to be sad.
Then we saw thousands of rays of light in the east, and a chariot of the sun god slowly approaching.
Taiyi held his head high and chest puffed out, walking towards us with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
"Hello fellow Taoists!"
His arrival made the two saints' eyes light up.
"Hehe~~"
The Two Saints, the Three Pure Ones, and the emperors all grinned, revealing the same smile.
"you……"
Donghuang Taiyi's eyelids jumped and he stepped back silently.
Unfortunately, the people who were led astray by his style of painting obviously did not let him go.
Donghuang Taiyi voluntarily invested while being completely confused.
He donated generously, almost emptying his pockets of hibiscus and star fruits.
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly righteous!"
Zhunti and Jieyin looked at Taiyi, who had not yet come to his senses, and smiled at each other.
I feel much better.
Taiyi looked at the Immortal, the Two Saints, the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, and the Three Giants. He sighed inwardly, "I remember when I left the prehistoric world, it wasn't like this!"
After robbing Taiyi, all the saints and emperors gathered together again, waiting for the last target of robbery to enter.
"You're all here!"
Soon, the corpse ancestor and his ministers entered the scene.
He greeted everyone very kindly, with a bright smile on his face.
Everyone came forward.
In less than a moment, Jiang Chen could no longer laugh.
This time, Taiyi was in charge of counting the harvest. He frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist, you were once a great overlord. Isn't your collection a little small?"
"You're joking, fellow Daoist."
When Jiang Chen, who was encountering a bad immortal god for the first time, heard these words, his thin lips trembled, and his already pale face turned even paler.
He said, "My previous life perished in the eons, and I've only just awakened in this life. All my collections have long since been dispersed. How can I possibly compare to your wealth?"
"That's true."
Everyone felt deeply regretful.
The general retreated silently, and couldn't help but move away from the crowd.
He has been in power for a long time and has seen all kinds of scenes, but he didn't expect to meet a group of bad guys today.
The Beast King of the past, the Corpse Ancestor of today, always feels out of tune with these people in front of him.
"Sure enough, compared to communicating with others, it is more suitable for me to lie quietly in the coffin!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.
After the generals and ministers distributed their wealth, all the saints and emperors gathered together to take stock of the harvest, all with smiles on their faces.
Jiang Chen looked at them, then looked up at the sky, and asked hesitantly, "There are two more behind, so..."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The Green Emperor gasped and exclaimed, "Your courage is extraordinary, I am not even close to you!"
Taiqing, Taiyi, Zhunti, and Jieyin, who had contributed funds, nodded in agreement: "Daoist friend, we will show you the formation later!"
Mingyu, Xuanyuan, Baidi, Yaochi, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu all looked at the general with pity.
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly brave!"
Jiang Chen finally understood the rules and said hurriedly, "No, listen to me..."
"What a lively scene!"
At this moment, two immortal voices rang out.
But there were buildings floating in the sky, feathered flags and bright lights, purple air swirling, and Nuwa and Houtu coming towards them in chariots and sitting on cloud beds.
Nuwa and Houtu dismounted from their chariots and cloud beds, smiling and saying, "Sorry for the long wait, everyone!"
All the saints and emperors just smiled without saying a word, and took a half step back together, leaving the generals and ministers standing alone in the middle.
"Fellow Daoist Jiangchen, I have something to say!"
They spoke in unison, as if they had colluded with each other long ago.
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded: "You..."
Hou Tu and Nu Wa looked at Jiang Chen with questioning eyes.
The general made up his mind and stepped forward.
"Two fellow Taoists..."
After a while, Hou Tu smiled and Nu Wa laughed, and they all offered their support.
This left the "hereditary martyrdom" general completely stunned.
“It really works!”
Not only were the generals and ministers stunned, but the saints and emperors also looked at the honest corpse ancestor with strange eyes.
They looked at each other and came to the same conclusion in their minds.
"This is an honest man!"
"From now on, let's all bully him together!"
Although they thought so, no one showed it at all.
Instead, they appeared to be in great joy after entering the imperial throne together.
The Queen Mother brought the peaches, the Tianzun handed out the fairy apricots, Zhenyuan brought out the ginseng fruit, the White Emperor brought the green mulberry seeds, and the Yan Emperor prepared the spiritual tea.
The Yellow Emperor, the Green Emperor, the Leader of the Sect, the Emperor of Heaven, and the Bright Jade are all stored in different places.
For a while, the food at this gathering was quite rich in variety.
From then on, an imperial throne meeting consisting of ten Hunyuan and seven Jueding, covering the highest decision-makers of the three realms of heaven, earth and man, began.
