Before the Dragon Mother's Banquet began, a minor twists and turns occurred in Haiguo.
The cause of the twists and turns was related to the building ship they took previously, named Haiyue.
Dianhuan Sect, one of the Eight Divine Sects in China, said that a batch of important cargo they had on the Haiyuelou ship was lost, and they hoped that Haiguo could give an explanation. However, Haiguo did not admit that the valuable cargo they mentioned had ever appeared on the ship. , this conflict was about to break out, but a big shot from the Ancient Spirit Sect happened to be in Haiguo and came forward to mediate the dispute.
The Dragon Mother Banquet was held as scheduled.
The Middle Earth is vast, and each major sect is thousands of miles apart. This world seems to be created for major cultivators who can fly with swords, and it is difficult for ordinary people to travel between them.
Although the reclamation of the Middle Earth is much better than that of Nanzhou, there are also countless cliffs and deep valleys that no one has ever set foot on. The four sacred towers are located in four unique forbidden areas that are 'strictly forbidden to enter, and those who disobey the order will die'.
When Ning Changjiu and Lu Marian walked out of the restaurant, heavy snow fell in the sky again.
Qiu Yue followed them wearing a brand new jacket.
The sea country is very lively.
The prosperity here is not comparable to that of other countries in Nanzhou.
Even far away from the center of the sea country, there are luxurious silks and satins pulled up like screens. On the streets, fragrant cars and sedans filled the road, and on the huge dancing cars, beautiful women with lotus-shaped arms and thin waists sang and danced, not knowing the cold in the wind and snow. On the tall buildings, flowers were scattered randomly, covering the heavy snow. Higher up, countless woven lights danced past, bright and winding. Those were flying swords or magic weapons thrown by the practitioners. They criss-crossed , making the sky dazzling.
Ning Jiujiu thought about avoiding the Dragon Mother's Banquet, but when he was about to go in the direction of the Ancient Spirit Sect in the east, he found that the nearest road was blocked by heavy snow, and the Dianhuan Sect also started to activate the banquet because of the loss of valuable goods. The Immortal Tower was blocked and monks were prohibited from crossing the border without permission.
Dianhuan Sect is close to the forbidden area of Luoshu Tower. It will be very troublesome to take a detour.
What's even more troublesome is that because of the Dragon Mother's banquet, all the inns are full. It doesn't matter that they are monks in the Purple Court Realm, but Qiu Yue is a child after all, and forcing her spiritual energy to keep her warm is not a long-term solution.
But for the inner banquet of Dragon Mother’s banquet, every invitee has a private room with VIP treatment.
In desperation, Ning Changjiu went to the banquet with Lu Marry and Yu Jian.
The center of the sea country is a huge inland sea pool.
There are many high-rise buildings in the center of the vast sea pool. The high-rise buildings surrounding it are all painted white, just like the jade legs of a beautiful woman gliding over the water.
In the center is the main hall where the Dragon Mother lives - Caijuan Immortal Palace.
Ning Changjiu handed over two invitations.
The passage to the Caijuan Immortal Palace went smoothly. The waiter handed them a key. Qiu Yue was not embarrassed at all and followed them into the main hall of the Immortal Palace.
These high-rise buildings are surrounded by smoke and mist on the ripples of the sea, and everything seems to be a simulation of a mirage, creating a sense of isolation from the world.
"Dad, the shadows in the water have different directions." Qiu Yue suddenly raised her head and asked curiously.
Ning Jiujiu also noticed this strange thing. He raised his head and saw that every tall building was surrounded by a pearl. These pearls were shining brightly, running at an uncertain speed, and all cast different shadows on the tall buildings they belonged to. .
Qiu Yue opened her eyes wide and looked at this wonderful world with a look of fascination, as if she wished she could recognize the Dragon Mother as her mother.
Lu Marian said with emotion: "As expected of the land of China and the sea, it is truly unparalleled in luxury."
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said: "For the Dragon Mother to have such a big country and such a famous reputation, she must be more than just a half-step monk."
Lu Jianjian hummed, her steps slow and her eyes lingering.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "I will give you a more magnificent and beautiful country from now on."
Lu Marian smiled calmly: "Your cake is indeed getting bigger and bigger."
Qiu Yue nodded in agreement.
After passing through the vast sea water, the mysterious veil of Caijuan Immortal Palace was lifted.
The huge palace looks crystal clear and light, like huge clouds floating on the sea, changing every moment.
Those invited were either well-known local wealthy businessmen or famous cultivators, as well as people from the sect who were invited to accompany the team and cross the sea together to the Immortal Palace and Jade Realm.
Lu Marian did not hide her face today. When she was approaching the Caijuan Immortal Palace, she looked like a person with the colored glass of the Immortal Palace, like flowers and piles of snow. It was so beautiful that it attracted the attention of many monks.
But when they saw the girl held by the sword fairy woman, they could only regret that the beauty got married early.
Ning Changjiu and Lu Jiaojian entered the fairy palace together.
There is a cave in the Immortal Palace, in which there are continuous jade mountains, white clouds fluttering, sea carps leaping, cranes circling the beams, screens hanging down the water, the scenery changes, and cloud platforms hanging high, carrying sinking and floating.
This place doesn't look like a sea world at all, but more like a fairyland in another world.
The main hall of Dragon Mother stands in the center like Dinghai in Shenzhen, and the rest of the attic looks like a crescent moon when viewed from above, scattered in all directions, which is magnificent.
When Lu Yuai saw this scene, she couldn't help but be lost in thought for a long time.
When a little girl like Qiu Yue came to a place like this for the first time, she was already fascinated by it.
Ning took a long look at the words engraved on the key and led them to the wing that had been prepared.
The wing rooms are also impeccably refined and elegant.
"This Dragon Mother is really rich." Qiu Yue threw herself on the Yun Jinyu couch, wrapped herself in a quilt and spun around.
Lu Marion also lamented: "Such a flashy scenery is really unlike the human world."
Ning Changjiu said: "In fact, in terms of the grandeur of the project, the dragon-wrapped pillars on the four peaks are comparable."
Lu Marry said with a smile: "Although the Dragon Pillar Winding Project is large, it does not have much practical use."
Ning Jiujiu said: "This Caijuan Immortal Palace is beautiful and luxurious, but it doesn't have much use?"
Lu Marian felt that there was something in his words, so she waited for him to continue.
Ning Jiujiu recalled: "When I entered the peak, I once asked Master Yazhu why we built something like the Dragon Column. Master Yazhu told me that because most of the ascetics have no hope of the Great Way, they When I am not practicing Taoism, I want to create something else to change the world.”
Lu Yueyou nodded slightly, and the magnificent and exquisite dragon-winding pillar that could control an entire peak was born.
Ning Jiujiu opened the window, his eyes fell on the scenery outside, and said: "The Caijuan Immortal Palace is indeed beautiful, but it is too beautiful. This kind of beauty cannot be created by ordinary craftsmen, it should be supervised by the Dragon Mother herself. Work, but why would a half-step ascetic of the five paths waste his precious time on this?"
Lu Marian frowned as she listened to his words. She never thought that there was such information hidden behind this gorgeous and charming scenery.
"You mean... there's something wrong with the Dragon Mother's cultivation?" Lu Marian heard the implication.
Ning Jiujiu nodded gently: "Only when the cultivator cannot become stronger, the cultivator will try to use external objects to beautify himself and pretend to be powerful. The more beautiful this fairy palace is, the greater the problem the Dragon Mother is facing at the moment... Of course, these Maybe it’s just my imagination, maybe the empress is born to love beauty.”
Lu Marian believed his words. Women are born to love beauty, but for a monk who is half-stepped and five-step, it is indeed abnormal.
Qiu Yue didn't care what they were saying, she just kept jumping around the room, curious about everything. The small objects here were so beautiful, and their attraction to the little girl was infinite.
Lu Marian asked: "The purpose of our coming here is to win the first prize?"
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said: "Of course."
Lu Married said: "You must have seen this along the way. There are almost no idlers invited here."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Although powerful, there is a limit to how powerful you can be. Great practitioners who have truly entered the Five Paths will not come. If they come, the empress will not only not feel honored, I am afraid she will also feel scared." .”
Lu Marry nodded lightly. Beauty often represents fragility, and a proud and proud person like Dragon Mother would not allow others to usurp the spotlight.
She suddenly asked: "Which one of the chess, chess, sword and magic arts do you have the confidence to win?"
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "Isn't it Master that you are here to win the sword title?"
Lu Marry said coldly: "You don't want to exert any strength at all?"
Ning Jiujiu began to make calculations: "I'm definitely not good at playing the piano, I'm not as good as you with the sword, and I know a little bit about chess."
"Understand a little?" Lu Marian knew that these two words were not simple, and asked: "Understand a little, how much do you understand?"
"I can win against Zhao Xiang'er!" Ning Changjiu said with a hint of pride and determination.
Lu Marian asked curiously: "What about Xiang'er? What's her level?"
Ning Jiujiu hesitated and said: "She...she can beat the national players in the Zhao Palace!"
"..." Lu Marion probably knew what their strength was.
"Daddy, daddy, I think you'd better go ahead and say it." Qiu Yue on the side suddenly interjected.
Ning Jiujiu asked curiously: "Why?"
Qiu Yue said: "Because my father often said that he respects teachers and Taoism, I think he has studied Taoism quite deeply."
Lu Marry smiled and said nothing.
Ning Jiujiu sighed, not knowing whether this dead girl did it on purpose.
"Shu Fa Dao..." Ning Jiujiu muttered softly.
Two days later, the Dragon Mother’s Sea Banquet officially kicked off.
