Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

139: Chapter 139 Attending the Banquet, ConflictThe founding Ancestral Master of the Qi Xuan Sect was a renowned Artifact Refining Great Grandmaster, reaching the Golden Core True Monarch Realm. Therefore, Qi Xuan Mountain, where the Qi Xuan Sect is located, is a Medium Grade Blessed Land.

Now that Artifact Inscription has become a Golden Core True Monarch, the Sect shows signs of revival and can faintly stand against the Xuan Yuan Sect.

”Is this Qi Xuan Mountain, the base of the Qi Xuan Sect?” Chen Zhuhong looked curiously at the majestic mountain enveloped in Immortal mist and fiery glow, her tone excited.

Whether it is Lihuo or Bing Fire, they are both Fire Dao Cultivators.

Although their attributes differ, they both possess the characteristics of burning and illumination, sharing some similarities.

Sparring and discussing the Dao with Fire Dao Cultivators of other paths would definitely help perfect her own Lihuo Dao Path.

“As expected of a veteran major faction within Xuan Prefecture, their foundation is truly profound. My Chen Family still has a long way to go.”

Chen Fufeng sighed.

They had not yet entered the Qi Xuan Blessed Land; merely approaching it, the Spiritual Qi concentration in the surrounding area was almost comparable to the main peak of the Chen Family’s Luoyun Mountain.

“The difference between Low Grade and Medium Grade is just one grade, but the gap between them is as vast as the difference between Purple Mansion and Golden Core—a world of difference.”

Yuan Feng, however, was much calmer. He had previously visited a Legacy Blessed Land under the Tianchen Lineage, which was even higher ranked than the Qi Xuan Blessed Land, being at least High Grade. The Spiritual Qi inside was liquefied, and the Cultivation speed of Cultivators within could be described as covering ten thousand miles in a day.

“This is only a Medium Grade Blessed Land. I wonder what the legendary Immortal Dao Grotto-Heaven looks like.”

Chen Zhuhong’s eyes were bright. The Fen Tianque Immortal Foundation within her body cried out excitedly, spreading its wings to roam the Nine Heavens, stretching its form freely.

As the Heaven’s Chosen Daughter of the Chen Family, her ambition was naturally extremely high. She aimed not only to achieve the Golden Core but also the Nascent Soul and become an Immortal.

“There will be that day.”

Yuan Feng said, controlling the luoyun boat to dock outside Qi Xuan Mountain.

The two people and one ape stepped off the luoyun boat, and the massive, tower-like Flying Boat immediately shrunk hundreds of times and was put into Chen Fufeng’s Storage Pouch.

“Let’s go.”

Yuan Feng shrunk his body, transforming into a miniature form, and landed on Chen Fufeng’s shoulder, looking very low-key.

Chen Fufeng nodded, and the father and daughter pair walked happily to the foot of Luoyun Mountain.

Many factions came to attend the banquet this time, and Cultivators going up and down the mountain were endless. Many young Disciples wearing Qi Xuan Sect robes smiled as they invited the visiting Cultivators into the mountain.

An idle Qi Xuan Sect Disciple noticed them and quickly jogged over. After seeing the Black Ape pattern on the father and daughter’s clothes, he asked, ”May I ask if Senior is from the Liming Chen Clan?”

“That is correct. I am Chen Fufeng, the previous Chen Family Head.” Chen Fufeng straightened his back, radiating the Aura of someone who had been a Family Head for many years.

“So it is Old Family Head Chen.” The Gate-Guarding Disciple said respectfully.

“There is no need for such courtesy.”

Chen Fufeng used his magical power to offer a spiritual lift, fully displaying the demeanor of a Senior Expert.

“And who is this Senior Sister?” The Gate-Guarding Disciple looked at Chen Zhuhong, who stood gracefully beside him.

“Chen Family, Chen Zhuhong.”

“So it is Senior Sister Zhuhong, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

The Gate-Guarding Disciple’s face flushed slightly. Most Disciples in the Qi Xuan Sect were male, and this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful Female Cultivator; she was no different from a Fairy, and he almost lost control.

“Junior Brother, you are too kind.”

Chen Zhuhong smiled, and golden patterns seemed to appear in her Phoenix eyes, making her look noble and sacred.

“I wonder if your Sect has any outstanding Disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm who excel in Battle?”

“Huh?”

The Gate-Guarding Disciple was slightly bewildered and couldn’t react for a moment.

“Senior Sister Zhuhong, you may not know, but our Qi Xuan Sect upholds the principle of harmony and friendship. We generally do not bear malice towards others and are not proficient in Battle.”

Hearing this, Chen Zhuhong sighed softly, “That’s a pity.”

She had wanted to witness the methods of the Qi Xuan Sect Cultivators so she could draw some inspiration.

Seeing this, the Gate-Guarding Disciple scratched his head and quickly said, ”Although our Qi Xuan Sect focuses on Artifact Refining, we still require martial protection, so we have established the Dao Protection Hall. The Disciples there are highly proficient in Battle. If Senior Sister Zhuhong wishes to spar and exchange pointers, you can visit the Dao Protection Hall after the Grand Banquet.”

“Thank you, Junior Brother.” Chen Zhuhong nodded.

“Senior Sister, you are welcome.”

The Gate-Guarding Disciple said with a smile.

Following this, he led Chen Fufeng and his daughter up the mountain.

Upon entering the mountain, Chen Fufeng took out the Invitation Letter and handed it to the Qi Xuan Sect Disciple guarding the entrance.

The latter took it, confirmed it was fine, picked up a large metal rod, and struck the Large Copper-Patterned Bell placed beside him three times.

“Dong, dong, dong.”

Three sounds, like the majestic Huang Zhong Da Lü, echoed through the sky.

“The Liming Chen Clan has come to offer congratulations.”

...Inside a magnificent and imposing grand hall, hundreds of dao platforms carved from jade were placed, covered with various Spiritual Fruits, Spiritual Wine, Spiritual Tea, and fragrant Spiritual Food.

Many dao platforms already had occupants, sitting in small groups. The leaders possessed Auras as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, standing like Ancient Mountains, all of them Purple Mansion level Immortal Masters.

This was where the Qi Xuan Sect hosted the various Purple Mansion Factions. It was a Pseudo-Magic Treasure infused with Golden Nature, named the Welcome Artifact Hall.

As a newly promoted Golden Core Upper Sect, generally only Purple Mansion level factions received invitations to enter this grand hall and attend the Golden Core Grand Banquet hosted by Ghost Axe, Artifact Inscription.

Once everyone arrived, Artifact Inscription, the Great Qi’s newly promoted Golden Core, would appear. While celebrating, he would also explain the mysteries of the Golden Core Realm and his personal insights during the Breakthrough.

However, after careful consideration, the Qi Xuan Sect still invited some factions guarded by Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators to attend the banquet. They were merely arranged in other locations and could not meet Artifact Inscription.

For those Foundation Establishment Peak Factions, this was already a massive Opportunity.

Even if they couldn’t latch onto the Qi Xuan Sect, these attending Purple Mansion Factions were also good choices.

It could be said that the Golden Core Grand Banquet hosted by the Qi Xuan Sect was a platform, a platform allowing access to higher levels, and it was up to them whether they could seize the chance.

“Liming Chen Clan?” A Purple Mansion True Person sitting in front of a dao platform slowly opened his eyes. A blinding flash of light crossed them, like two small rising suns, making them impossible to look at directly.

“Speaking of which, this Liming Chen Family seems to have some connection with my Luoyun Sect. Their base appears to be called Luoyun Mountain.”

The two Young Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had been gorging themselves beside him immediately stopped their actions, sitting up straight and not daring to breathe loudly.

“Old Ghost Luoxun, the words ’Luoyun’ aren’t exclusive to your Luoyun Sect. Don’t try to take credit for it.”

Just then, a voice rang out, causing Immortal Master Luoxun’s face to sink.

The person who spoke was a pot-bellied, middle-aged Purple Mansion Cultivator sitting opposite him, wearing a golden Daoist robe.

“Cang Yuan, is your Cang Jin Pavilion trying to pick a fight with my Luoyun Sect?” Immortal Master Luoxun said irritably.

“Enough, Old Ghost Luoxun, don’t try to pressure me with the entire Luoyun Sect. When it comes to foundation, my Cang Jin Pavilion is in no way inferior to your Luoyun Sect.”

Immortal Master Cang Yuan said, picking up an apple-like Spiritual Fruit and taking a large bite: ”Not bad. Coming to this banquet wasn’t a loss. I even got to antagonize Old Ghost Luoxun. Comfortable.”

Even though Immortal Master Luoxun had extraordinary self-control, facing Immortal Master Cang Yuan’s attitude still left him furious, his face contorted.

“Cang Yuan, you Dead Fatty, if you have the guts, come outside and duel!”

“I can’t beat you, so I won’t go.” Immortal Master Cang Yuan spread his hands, completely lacking the demeanor of a Purple Mansion True Person, acting like a rogue.

Immortal Master Luoxun: “I $%#@!*#(&^%!”

The people around them were already used to it. Immortal Master Luoxun of the Luoyun Sect and Immortal Master Cang Yuan of the Cang Jin Pavilion had been antagonistic since childhood, and they would usually start arguing the moment they met.

Two quarters of an hour after the Qi Xuan Sect Disciple struck the large bell, announcing the arrival of the Liming Chen Clan to offer congratulations.

Chen Fufeng and his daughter followed a Qi Xuan Sect Disciple into the grand hall, their expressions calm and tranquil like water.

The moment the two entered the grand hall, the Purple Mansion True Persons present all looked over in unison.

Their gazes first lingered on Chen Zhuhong for a moment, then all fell upon Chen Fufeng’s left shoulder, where a Black Ape was sitting.

Yuan Feng opened his eyes, and the Aura of a Late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator with Four Divine Abilities spread out, blocking the gazes of the many Purple Mansion True Persons.

“Everyone, staring at this King one by one is quite impolite.”

The Purple Mansion True Persons withdrew their gazes, but the shock in their hearts did not diminish at all.

“How long has it been? This Battle Demon King has already reached the Four Divine Abilities Realm. Unbelievable!” Immortal Master Cang Yuan of the Cang Jin Pavilion exclaimed, rubbing his rounded belly.

Immortal Master Luoxun of the Luoyun Sect had a gloomy expression. He had originally planned to make things difficult for the Chen Family visitors because Luoyun Mountain indeed violated the Luoyun Sect’s taboos, suspected of competing with the Luoyun Sect for Luck.

But he hadn’t expected Yuan Feng’s Cultivation to have actually risen to the Late-stage Purple Mansion with Four Divine Abilities, placing him in the same Realm.

However, as the second-most important figure of the Luoyun Sect and the renowned Immortal Master Luoxun within Xuan Prefecture, even if Yuan Feng’s Realm was similar to his, he remained fearless.

“The Battle Demon King certainly has imposing prestige.”

As his voice fell, the noisy atmosphere in the grand hall instantly froze, becoming utterly silent.

The Purple Mansion True Persons all wore forced smiles; they knew a good show was about to begin.

Yuan Feng stepped down from Chen Fufeng’s shoulder. Operating the Size As Desired Divine Ability, he transformed to the height of a normal person, standing like an archaic great mountain, his Aura powerful like a heavenly abyss, immovable by the four seas.

“What business is it of yours how this King conducts himself?”

“You old thing, you’ve been staring at this King ever since I entered. Are you perhaps looking to discuss the Dao with this King?”

Immortal Master Luoxun stood up, revealing his Late-stage Purple Mansion Aura. Completely unafraid, he said coldly, ”I am Luoxun of the Luoyun Sect. Your Chen Family’s Luoyun Mountain violates the taboos of my Luoyun Sect. If you do not change the name, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”

“Heh heh.”

Yuan Feng laughed, a laugh born of anger.

This old fellow in front of him probably Cultivated until his brain went silly, daring to speak so boastfully here!

“Since that’s the case, then come and try. Let’s see whose fist is harder, this King’s or your head!”

As his voice fell, Yuan Feng took a step forward, causing the entire grand hall to shake relentlessly.

Patterns appeared one after another, and an energy resembling a Golden Core, yet far inferior to a true Golden Core, permeated the air, neutralizing the imposing might emitted by Yuan Feng so as not to affect the other guests.

Luoxun left the dao platform, standing ten zhang in front of Yuan Feng, his robes fluttering, his eyes slightly narrowed: “Enough talk. Let’s fight in the Nine Heavens!”

“As you wish!” Yuan Feng sneered, preparing to leave the area.

“Uncle Yuan, wait.”

Chen Zhuhong spoke up, interrupting them. Her Phoenix eyes swept toward the two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators brought by Immortal Master Luoxun.

“If there’s going to be a fight, let us juniors fight first.”

“Chen Zhuhong of the Chen Family is here. Do the two of you dare to fight me, regardless of life or death?!”
