Chapter 324 Immortal Life Is Just a Show

Ao Yi, that bastard is at the Immortality Peach Banquet today. See if I…

In front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang, who was dressed in bright silver armor, was grinding his teeth. Twelve times!

Twelve times!

All these years, he had been fooling around in the East, South, and North Dragon Palaces. He had been drunk twelve times. Every time he woke up, he would lie on a huge bed. What he saw each time were some… some… strange living beings that were completely indescribable!

At first, it was still alright. They were just some old women of the Sea Clan who were wearing heavy makeup. Later on, the mischievous Ao Yi seemed to have developed new ideas and gathered all kinds of things…

Who has ever seen a sea maiden with an octopus head and an enchanting figure?

Who has ever seen a slender man who has stubble on his face but also a gorgeous figure!?!

Bian Zhuang trembled a few times. The scene was really unbearable to look back at. Then, he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.

However, despite that, he had received orders to stand there and serve the dragons as acquaintances from the Dragon Palace.

It was impossible for him to attack. He could only put on a smiling face and hope to receive the Sea God’s praise.

Why is Ao Yi deliberately going against me?

Bian Zhuang muttered in his heart. Suddenly, a thunderous drum sounded from the Central Heavenly Gate. A few white clouds were covered in golden light as they flew over with the dragon race.

The Heavenly Soldiers in front opened the path, and the Heavenly Generals surrounded them.

At that moment, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall shone with a resplendent golden light. Waves of brilliant Heavenly Dao power supported it, making the treasure hall even more majestic.

Bian Zhuang and the fifteen Heavenly Generals beside him raised their heads and puffed out their chests at the same time. When the experts of the dragon race approached, they spread out to the left and right. According to the instructions of the Sea God, they all revealed gentle smiles.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor sat upright on the platform with a faint smile on his lips.

General Dongmu and dozens of officials and generals stood on either side.

Those officials were also the legitimate gods of the Heavenly Courts. They were almost all the “experts” that the Heavenly Courts could produce. Most of them were from the ancient human race. There were more than ten of them who were competent subordinates that had followed the emperors.

When the dragon race arrived in front of the hall, General Dongmu went out to welcome them on behalf of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor walked down half of the jade steps and emitted a strong heavenly might.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings looked at each other and entered together. They walked to the center of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and bowed.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean took a step forward. His brocade robe emitted a faint glow and his wide sleeves, which were almost touching the ground, swayed slightly.

Almost at the same time, the Dragon King of the East Ocean, the Jade Emperor, General Dongmu, and the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Courts, more or less, thought about it…

It was Li Changshou’s voice. Apart from the Dragon Palace of the West Ocean, which of the figures there had not been instructed by Li Changshou more than three times?

At that moment, although Li Changshou had yet to appear physically, he was everywhere.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean took out a golden invitation card and spoke in a deep voice.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean said unhurriedly, “The dragon race has been invited by the Heavenly Courts to attend the Immortal Peach Banquet. Today, we would like to see the Heavenly Emperor to thank him for his concern. Our race was born in the beginning of the Chaos. We once ignored the life and death of all living beings and carried the negative karma of the Primordial World. Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor did not give up. Fortunately, the Sea God helped us and allowed our race to break free from the shackles of negative karma. The entire race is grateful to the Heavenly Emperor. Today, we specially came to thank the Heavenly Emperor!”

After saying that, the golden invitation turned into a ray of golden light and returned to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and sighed.

“The dragon race came from the ancient times. They have some ties with me. Although they had made the mistake of wrecking the Primordial World previously, they guarded the Sea Eye of the Four Seas and protected the living beings of the world for a long time. They naturally deserve some credit. There is nothing major today. I only wanted to invite the four dragon kings to the Heavenly Courts for a chat. Is the Jade Pool ready?”

General Dongmu said, “Your Majesty, the Jade Pool is ready.”

“Then let’s not wait for Changgeng.” The Jade Emperor smiled. “Dear ministers, accompany me and the heroes of the dragon race to the Jade Pool for a banquet.”

The immortals of the Heavenly Courts bowed and thanked him in unison.

This situation, including the conversation between the two parties, had actually all been screened by an ordinary minister.

Especially the Jade Emperor’s words. If the Jade Emperor said that the dragon race would be exempt from the karma, the Heavenly Dao might really exempt the dragon race from the karma. Then, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

At that moment, the Jade Emperor walked over and personally invited the Dragon King of the East Ocean to go out of the hall. Together, they boarded the Jade Emperor’s Nine Dragons Divine Carriage and headed towards the Jade Pool with the Heavenly Courts’ immortals, nearly a hundred dragons, and tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

On the divine carriage, the Dragon King of the East Ocean was sitting diagonally opposite the Jade Emperor. At that moment, he was sending a voice transmission.

“Don’t worry, Jade Emperor. The Sea God has already told me what to do.”

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Dragon King, you have also come from the ancient times. You don’t have to call yourself using such an inferior term in front of others.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean stood up and bowed. He then sat back down under the Jade Emperor’s instructions.

When the disciples of the dragon race saw this scene, they felt as if a seasoning container had been overturned in their hearts. The feeling was very complicated.

Is this still the current chief of the dragon race who likes to lie on the throne and enjoy the gentle massage of the Sea Maiden?

The dragon race is really going to…

Even though everyone knew that the dragon race was loyal to the Heavenly Courts, which was beneficial and not harmful, they still could not help but resist when it came to the matter.

The Jade Emperor’s carriage arrived near the Jade Pool. The female immortals flew out of the Jade Pool in rows. Half of them were holding flower baskets and palace lanterns.

Half of them were playing music and dancing in the clouds. Their long sleeves fluttered like clouds.

“Dragon King, please.”

“Your Majesty, please.”

The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile and stepped out of the carriage. The Dragon King of the East Ocean followed behind the Jade Emperor naturally.

The Dragon King’s originally imposing figure was now a little hunched. The hundred immortals and hundred dragons followed behind and entered the Jade Pool together.

The Queen Mother brought a few female immortals from the Jade Pool and stood quietly in the sky above the Immortal Island where the Immortal Peach Banquet was held. She was naturally elegant and graceful.

The Jade Emperor walked forward. The Queen Mother bowed slightly. The Jade Emperor bowed slightly and smiled.

“Junior Sister, this is the Dragon King of the East Ocean. He is also the current leader of the dragon race.”

The Dragon King of the East Ocean bowed and bowed. “Greetings, Queen Mother.” “There’s no need to be so polite,” the Queen Mother replied warmly. Then, she did not say anything else and accompanied the Jade Emperor to the throne below.

Li Changshou had adjusted the venue slightly.

Originally, the four Sea Dragon Kings’ seats were behind General Dongmu and Li Changshou’s seats. At this moment, Li Changshou had split them into two and had the dragon race members gather on the right.

Both parties sat down. Rows of fairies walked over and served wine and immortal fruits.

More than ten Chang’e fairies of the Moon Palace stepped forth to perform a dance, and the mood was quickly lifted.

The Jade Emperor smiled and asked, “Junior Sister, when can the immortal peaches be eaten?”

“Your Majesty, the immortal peaches will only ripen in a few hours. I’ve already ordered someone to wait in the Immortal Peach Garden. When the immortal peaches are ripe, I’ll pluck them. That’s the best way.”

“Alright.” The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile. He was indirectly telling the dragons to calm down and wait patiently.

At that moment, the Heavenly General quickly reported.

“Your Majesty, Zhao Gongming, the expert from the Luofu Cave of Mount Ermei, has entered the Heaven Gate and is heading towards the Jade Pool!”

“Oh?”

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Gongming and Changgeng are close friends. Please add a seat beside Changgeng’s seat. Please welcome him on my behalf. Don’t neglect him.”

“Yes!”

General Dongmu received the order and turned around. Just as he was about to fly out on the cloud, a loud laughter sounded in front of him.

Zhao Gongming rode a cloud and flew over with Ao Yi. In the blink of an eye, he arrived and cupped his hands. Then, he walked forward and bowed to the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

“Greetings, Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master.”

The Jade Emperor smiled and did not say anything. He only gestured for Zhao Gongming to take a seat.

However, the look in the eyes of many dragons changed when they heard Zhao Gongming’s words.

Previously, most of the dragon race had a sorrowful feeling that they were about to live under someone else’s roof. At that moment, when Zhao Gongming arrived, he reminded them that the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother and the Six Saints were still of the same generation. They were still considered fellow disciples of the Three Pure Ones…

In terms of background, it was not embarrassing for them to join the Heavenly Courts.

The dragon hearts began to feel subtle emotions immediately.

Ao Yi’s Deity Position in the Heavenly Courts was slightly low. He was not qualified to attend the Immortal Peach Banquet. At that moment, he went to sit beside the dragon race.

After singing and dancing for a long time, the immortals of the Heavenly Courts had already begun to toast. The dragons of the dragon race were also chatting in groups of two or three.

The Jade Emperor enjoyed the dance of Chang’e and was happy. He seemed to have nothing important to do today.

Li Changshou’s seat was empty.

Zhao Gongming, who was at the side, felt uncomfortable. Therefore, he hid his aura and Dao runes to reduce his presence as much as possible. From time to time, he would look at Elder Moon, who was dressed in a red wedding robe.

Elder Moon muttered in his heart…

Why is this outer sect disciple of Jie School always looking at me? Could it be that he’s here to question me about the sudden increase in the marriages between disciples of Jie School over the past decade?

That had nothing to do with him. There were so many Golden Immortals who had been cultivated by Postnatal living beings in Jie School. They were all Dao companions whom he had tied together with a red string. Even if Elder Moon was given a hundred Sea God’s guts, he would not dare to attack Jie School recklessly. However, speaking of which, with the absolute advantage of manpower in Jie School and the number of Golden Immortals who had gotten married, the Dao companion trend had already firmly suppressed Ren School.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of drums coming from the Heaven Gate. Another Heavenly General hurriedly reported that six disciples of the Western Sect had arrived and requested to see the Jade Emperor.

Many dragons pricked up their ears. The hot-tempered ones were already enraged.

Fortunately, Li Changshou had just spoken to the Dragon Kings of the four seas.

The Dragon Kings of the four seas sent voice transmissions to keep the dragons outside the West Ocean Dragon Palace quiet.

The Jade Emperor frowned. Although he had long been informed by Li Changshou that someone from the Western Sect had come to cause trouble, he had to express his attitude and deliberately show his annoyance.

“Western Sect?”

The Jade Emperor said unhappily, “Why would they come if I didn’t invite them? Don’t let them enter the Heavenly Courts.”

At the side, the Queen MOther hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, our Heavenly Courts have yet to rise. There are two Saints in the Western Sect. We can’t embarrass the Saint. Today is the Immortal Peach Banquet. Why don’t we let them join us?”

“Alright.” The Jade Emperor looked at the Four Sea Dragon Kings and gave them a reassuring look before giving the order to let them go.

After a while, six old Daoists in tattered Daoist robes flew over on a cloud. They were originally angry, as if they wanted to question the Jade Emperor.

The six old Daoists flew to the Jade Pool Immortal Peach Banquet. Just as they landed on the cloud, one of the old Daoists had already displayed the prideful aura of a disciple of a Saint…

“Ahem!”

The inconspicuous Zhao Gongming cleared his throat and stroked his beard with a smile. The expressions of the six old Daoists changed. His aura was like a balloon that was pierced by Zhao Gongming’s beard.

“Fellow Daoists.” Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Do you want to eat the peaches?”

The six old Daoists frowned and remained silent. They immediately sent a voice transmission to discuss something and temporarily stopped their outburst. Under the arrangement of the Queen Mother, they sat down beside Zhao Gongming. The six old Daoists did not notice the angry gazes of the dragons opposite them. The dozen or so “traitors” from the West Ocean Dragon Palace had already received a voice transmission and were waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble.

Everyone was present.

The immortal peaches in the Immortal Peach Garden had yet to ripen, and they were dancing again.

The Jade Emperor remained unhappy and began to close his eyes to rest. The four Sea Dragon Kings remained silent and waited quietly for the opportunity to meet Li Changshou.

Zhao Gongming only knew that what was about to happen today was a huge matter. He did not know anything else. At that moment, he even toasted the six old Daoists beside him.

The six old Daoists frowned and pondered. All kinds of thoughts ran through their minds. They were worried that they had been schemed against again…

Actually, Master Zhao’s presence was purely an accident.

Ever since Li Changshou had received Daoist Wen Jing’s secret message half a year ago, he had already made a few countermeasures.

In the Heavenly Courts, the Jade Emperor was not someone to be trifled with. There was no need for Master Zhao to come personally.

A moment later, an old Daoist priest from the Western Sect, who was dressed in a tattered Daoist robe, stood up…

Bian Zhuang, who had been waiting outside the Jade Pool Immortal Banquet for a long time, finally received the Sea God’s voice transmission!

At the immortal banquet, the old Daoist priest in tattered clothes said, “Your Majesty, I came here today because I have something…” “Your Majesty!”

Bian Zhuang suddenly barged in. He was full of emotions and his voice was very loud. “The Sea God!”

The Jade Emperor immediately stood up and ignored the old Daoist priest. He hurriedly asked, “What happened to Changgeng?” Bian Zhuang cried, “The Sea God is back!”

“Quick!”

The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He waved his hands to send the dancing Chang’e fairies away, walked around the throne, and quickly walked out of the banquet.

The Queen Mother snorted in her heart.

Just now, he even sent a voice transmission to say that my acting is a little stiff. That’s all his acting is!

Exaggerated!

The immortals of the Heavenly Courts stood up and followed quickly. The dragons of the dragon race stood up and looked outside the Immortal Island.

The old Daoist priest in tattered clothes and the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, who had been ignored, could not understand the situation. They wanted to be angry, but they did not know how to start.

Master Zhao was confused.

Two figures appeared out of nowhere and arrived outside the Immortal Island. One of them had white hair and was dressed in an old Daoist robe. He was Li Changshou’s Sea God paper effigy.

Princess Long Ji, who was at the side, had also changed into a rather dirty Daoist robe. There were some stains at the bottom of her Daoist robe, and her fair face looked a little haggard. In her arms, she held the shiny, golden Heavenly Emperor Demon-Slaying Sword… “Changgeng!” The Jade Emperor shouted, “Beloved Official, you have suffered!”

Li Changshou bowed deeply with a Dao salute and said loudly, “I can share Your Majesty’s worries and enjoy it without suffering! Your Majesty, please allow me to report! During the twelve years of exploration in the South Continent, I used the Da Yu Hydrology Diagram as a guide. I used the Demon-Slaying Sword bestowed by His Majesty to visit various parts of the South Continent and investigate the main waterways of the South Continent. I killed demons and cleansed the filth. In the end, I found out everything about the main waterways of the South Continent! Today, I rushed here before the Immortality Peach Banquet to offer you 1,232 copies of the diagram of the South Continent’s hydrology!”

After saying that, Li Changshou took out two treasure pouches from his chest pocket and opened them. Two piles of scrolls appeared beside him.

The Jade Emperor’s eyes flickered. He smiled and said, “From today onwards, the waterways of the South Continent will be controlled by the Heavenly Courts!”

As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, golden light surged out of his body. The Heavenly Emperor’s seal appeared above the Jade Emperor’s head. Two golden rays shot out of the seal and shone on the two piles of scrolls.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of water!

The two piles of scrolls dissipated in the golden light. However, rivers of different lengths and lakes of different shapes floated in the golden light. They surrounded Li Changshou and Long Ji and slowly circled!

After a while, the miniature images of the rivers and lakes surged towards the Heavenly Emperor’s seal and were accepted by it!

A beam of golden light flashed and disappeared from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!

Is that…
