Chapter 620: Dao Ancestor’s Birthday Banquet
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Devil…”
Jiang Changsheng stared at Feng Yu and the Kunlun Leader and thought silently. The Devil Calamity was aimed at the entire boundless world, so he did not have to worry much. The boundless world was so vast that it would not affect them for the time being. After all, the Immortal Dao had yet to transcend and was not enough to attract the attention of the devils.
However, these actions of the devils and the collapse of the Nirvana Area happened at the same time, which was hard for him not to associate the two together.
Could it be that it was the devils that caused the destruction of the Nirvana Area? Without the Nirvana Area, the devil generals would have more freedom to move about. At the same time, their arrival would cause chaos in the boundless world. After all, without the Nirvana Area, the orthodoxies would devour each other and the boundless world would become even more cruel.
Jiang Changsheng was surprised by the karma between Feng Yu and the Kunlun Leader.
Although the Primordial Chaos Divine Talisman and the devils were both variables, he did not expect the two of them to have a close karmic relationship.
After Feng Yu helped the Kunlun Leader eliminate the devil in the latter’s heart, the Kunlun Leader heard that Feng Yu wanted to roam the boundless world in search of opportunities, and the Kunlun Leader decided to go with him. The reason why he wanted to return to the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm was to eliminate the devil in his heart. Now that the devil in his heart had been eliminated, he naturally had to make plans for himself.
Everyone had their own karma and fate, and these two had woven a huge and precise net in the Heavenly Dao called destiny.
Jiang Changsheng gradually entered a state of comprehension.
There was no end to the Dao, and the Immortal Dao was the cultivation method of the Dao. On this path, everything one saw and heard could become an opportunity to comprehend the Dao.
Now that Jiang Changsheng’s realm was high, it was not easy for him to comprehend the Dao from a macroscopic point of view. This was because the macroscopic view was already his field of view and he was accustomed to it. Instead, it was those small things that touched him.
As Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes, the gears of time accelerated again.
In the blink of an eye, another 50,000 years passed.
On this day, Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes. Bai Qi, who had been waiting for many years, came over and said, “Master, you are already two million years old. Can you hold a birthday banquet to celebrate with everyone?”
Unknowingly, Jiang Changsheng had reached two million years old.
When Jiang Changsheng suddenly heard this number, he felt emotional.
Great Jing had only lasted for more than 300 years, but it seemed to represent most of his life. Now that he thought about it, the time when Jiang Xuanzhen asked him to ascend the throne seemed to have been yesterday.
Jiang Changsheng wanted to refuse, but on second thought, his birthday was not only for him.
“Forget about celebrating with everyone, as it would diminish my image in the hearts of the public. However, a birthday banquet is fine. Let our old friends come and return to Longqi Mountain,” Jiang Changsheng pondered and said.
Bai Qi could not help but be disappointed when she heard the first half of the sentence. However, when she heard the second half, she immediately became excited and nodded in agreement.
She quickly left the Purple Cloud Palace, and Mu Lingluo also stood up and walked towards Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng held her hand and pulled her to sit down. He smiled in satisfaction and said, “Not bad, you already have the Zenith Heaven Fate.”
Other than Jiang Changsheng, she was the first person to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao. Even though Mu Lingluo’s talents were not at the peak of the Immortal Dao, she was finally about to reach the Zenith Heaven Realm after so many years of bitter cultivation.
Mu Lingluo’s attitude towards cultivation was definitely the most similar to his among the people around him. It was also time for her to become a Zenith Heaven cultivator.
Over the years, two new Zenith Heaven Immortals had been born in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. If Mu Lingluo were added, there were a total of twelve Zenith Heaven Immortals. When the number of Zenith Heaven Immortals reached seventy to eighty, the Immortal Dao would be comparable to three transcendent orthodoxies.
The Immortal Dao was already so powerful before it experienced the Transcendence Tribulation. Jiang Changsheng felt that if the Transcendence Tribulation only happened in the Endless Void, the Transcendence Tribulation should be stable. However, he was afraid that the Transcendence Tribulation would be more complicated than he imagined.
“It’s all thanks to the guidance of the Heavenly Dao,” Mu Lingluo said meaningfully.
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “Attaining the Zenith Heaven Realm is not something that can be helped by others. It’s mainly because you work hard enough.”
Mu Lingluo smiled and did not dwell on this matter. She began to talk about the birthday celebration. She wanted to invite her old friends who had gone through trials and tribulations in the endless ocean to the banquet. She was already two million years old, so she wanted to take this opportunity to meet her old friends. Naturally, Jiang Changsheng had no objections to this.
“After two million years, the human world has changed greatly. Not even ten percent of my old friends remain. It’s impossible to see some people again.” Mu Lingluo sighed. Because she had been in seclusion all year round, she felt the same as Jiang Changsheng. She missed the human world.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Then let’s meet them all this time.”
Mu Lingluo nodded and then talked about some old friends.
Due to their karma, all the old friends who had survived until now had become mighty figures in the Immortal Dao. Not to mention those in the courtyard of Longqi Temple, Hei Tian and Huang Tian, who were determined to become demon kings back then, had become powerful existences in the Demon Race.
Jiang Changsheng listened attentively. He did not comment on the life choices of his old friends; this was the same when it came to his descendants.
The birthday banquet was completely handed over to Bai Qi. She only used less than a hundred years to take care of it.
She returned to the Purple Cloud Palace and asked Jiang Changsheng and Mu Lingluo to move to the human world.
When Immortal Emperors returned to the Endless Void, as long as they did not display power that exceeded the Unrestrained Heaven Realm, they would not be expelled by the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, Jiang Changsheng and the rest were not bound by the rules and would occasionally make exceptions, which was understandable.
Jiang Changsheng waved his hand and directly brought Mu Lingluo, Bai Qi, and White Dragon back to Longqi Mountain. Meanwhile, the Sword God, Ye Xun, and the others had already returned and cleaned up the courtyard.
When everyone saw Jiang Changsheng, they subconsciously wanted to salute him, but he stopped them. “There’s no need to be so polite. At the very least, there’s no need for etiquette during a birthday banquet.”
Everyone nodded and revealed a smile.
Ji Wujun and Yu Yanyi looked at Jiang Changsheng with excitement. After the divine light faded, Jiang Changsheng’s true appearance caused them to be in a trance.
As Jiang Changsheng’s cultivation increased, his image became increasingly blurry in the hearts of the public, including those who had seen him before.
Other than the people in the Purple Cloud Palace, no one could remember his true appearance.
“Sit down and have a chat. Let’s talk about the past.” Jiang Changsheng smiled and took the lead to sit down at the table while the others followed suit.
A stone table could only seat four people. After Jiang Changsheng, Mu Lingluo, Ji Wujun, and Yu Yanyi sat down, the others sat around with stools in their hands. They did not have the airs of immortal cultivators at all. They were more like mortals who gathered together.
Ye Xun, who had the most passionate personality, was the first to start a conversation and talk about the hardships he had encountered over the years.
In the Immortal Dao, few people dared to provoke him, but outside the Immortal Dao, there were many. Fortunately, he survived.
Everyone listened attentively and interrupted to tease him from time to time. Jiang Changsheng was quite gratified to see that the Sword God could still bicker with him.
In any case, at least the people in the courtyard had not forgotten their original intentions.
While everyone chatted, Bai Qi called for White Dragon, Tai Wa, and Qing’er to get busy. There were also demonesses serving wine and delicacies from the palace.
Longqi Mountain had always had a special meaning in Heavenly Jing. Every time an emperor wanted to bring down Longqi Mountain, there would be Jiang clansmen coming to warn the emperors. As time passed, the citizens had long forgotten the origin of Longqi Mountain. Even the emperors did not read the history books and did not know who once lived there.
Over the years, the news of the Immortal Gods of Longqi Mountain returning to gather had long spread. Right now, as they watched the fairy-like demonesses transporting wine and delicacies in the air, the citizens in the city were watching the excitement. There were even scholars and beauties who took advantage of the scenery to express their emotions. Poems and songs were spread throughout Jingcheng.
When the current emperor of Heavenly Jing wanted to pay a visit to Longqi Mountain, he saw a senior from the imperial branch of the Jiang Clan at the foot of the mountain. At the sight of him, he was so frightened that he hurried over to greet him.
“Greetings, senior. Why are you here? Could it be because of the Immortal Gods on the mountain? But you…” After the Emperor bowed, he carefully asked.
He was facing a white-robed man who looked to be in his forties. There was a patter of the Great Dao between his brows, and he looked extremely handsome.
The white-robed man glanced at him and said, “Don’t inquire about things you shouldn’t. Why did you bring so many people here? Don’t disturb the peace and quiet of the people on the mountain.”
The emperor’s heart trembled. When he was still the crown prince, he was sent to the Jiang Clan’s imperial branch to cultivate. At that time, the white-robed man was equivalent to his master and took special care of him. He did not expect that when he met him again today, he would be so cold, and the reason for this seemed to be because of the people on the mountain.
He was filled with curiosity. Who exactly came to the mountain?
Could it be that the Heaven Emperor had come?
At that moment, the white-robed man was shocked. He turned around and bowed to the sky. Before the Emperor could react, a group of people appeared out of thin air, led by Jiang Tianming.
“Ancestor, why are you here?” The white-robed man respectfully asked.
Ancestor?
The Emperor suddenly became nervous and did not know if he should salute.
Jiang Tianming glared at him and said, “Why can’t I come? I’m different from you. I was raised by him and I have the qualifications to go up the mountain. You should wait here. Recently, the news about this matter has been leaked. Don’t let anyone break in and disturb his mood!”
With that said, Jiang Tianming walked alone towards the mountain path. Even if he was an Immortal Emperor, he did not jump up directly. Instead, he climbed the mountain step by step to show his sincerity.
His words made the Emperor even more curious. Could the person on the mountain be the Celestial Emperor?
If it were a random ancestor of the Jiang Clan’s imperial branch, there was no need for him to specially come back.
The Emperor was also filled with admiration for the supreme Celestial Emperor in the legends. As an emperor, wasn’t his highest goal the Celestial Emperor?
The white-robed man glanced at the Emperor and sighed.
Sadly, the current emperor could not even enter the Mental Wander Realm. He did not know if it was sad or too fortunate.
Even after this, the Emperor still did not leave. He followed the white-robed man to maintain order at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, he watched as people with extraordinary auras appeared out of thin air and walked up the mountain one by one.
On the other side, in the courtyard on the mountain, there was constant laughter.
“Wang Chen, come and sweep the floor. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten your former identity after becoming the leader of the Earth Immortals?” Bai Qi teased.
Great Immortal Wang Chen shook his head and laughed. He took out a broom and began to sweep casually.
The Sword God looked at Great Immortal Wang Chen and said, “You should reaching the Zenith Heaven Realm soon, right? I feel that you will be the first person to become a Zenith Heaven Immortal without ascending.”
The moment the words ‘Zenith Heaven Realm’ were mentioned, everyone’s gaze landed on Great Immortal Wang Chen.
Great Immortal Wang Chen, who possessed the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, had also received the care of the Heavenly Dao, and his aura had become increasingly unfathomable. Other than Jiang Changsheng, the Sword God, and Mu Lingluo, no one present could see through his cultivation.
“It’s still too early. The Zenith Heaven Realm is very difficult to reach.” Great Immortal Wang Chen forced a smile and expressed the sadness of many people present.
