Unlike the old dragon in the main hall of the Dragon Palace that explained Yin Zhaoxian's origins, the arrival of the Dazhen envoy has caused widespread discussion outside the hall and outside the Dragon Palace.
Seeing that the ship never came out, some people speculated whether it had angered the Dragon King, and some even wondered whether it might have entered the Dragon Palace and been swallowed by a dragon.
Ji Yuan was strolling alone at the bottom of Tongtian River and found that it was slightly different from what he had imagined. Among these aquatic creatures that could come to Tongtian River for the banquet, even at the banquet along the river outside the Dragon Palace, not many of them harbored strong malice. On the contrary, most of them just wanted to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.
At this time, large tables condensed by earth magic appeared one after another at the bottom of the river. More and more water creatures took their seats. Even some that could not transform into human form had their own special seats in a corner of the river bottom.
There was a huge flow of aquatic creatures around, and they regarded this event as a good opportunity to make friends. They visited each other frequently, and Ji Yuan could hear the content of their conversations intentionally or unintentionally. Some wanted to broaden their horizons, some wanted to build relationships, and some hoped to obtain the position of water god somewhere when Niangniang Ying transformed into a dragon.
Ji Yuan did not walk within the bubble restriction of the banquet, but walked on the flowing river outside. There were actually quite a few aquatic creatures like him.
Inside the bubble restriction, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar was chatting with a few people nearby. Suddenly, someone pointed outside, allowing everyone to see Ji Yuan passing by.
"This person doesn't seem to be from the water tribe?"
"Well, it's not quite like that. His posture when controlling water is very similar to controlling wind. He doesn't look like a water creature. Could he be an immortal cultivator?"
Even though no trace can be seen, the aquatic creatures still have some habits in the water that are different from other practitioners. They rarely move upright like Ji Yuan, as if walking on clouds. Usually, their bodies are tilted or they just swim.
Suddenly, the man dressed as a scholar saw the black jade hairpin on Ji Yuan's head emitting waves of light in the water. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. He happened to see Ji Yuan looking at him casually. He also saw a pair of old eyes on his face, and his heart suddenly jumped slightly.
After thinking it over, seeing that Ji Yuan was about to leave, the young man dressed as a Confucian scholar simply stepped out of the bubble water curtain and came to the front of Ji Yuan's path. When Ji Yuan dodged sideways, the man also changed his position, and pushed away the water flow to get closer, then took the initiative to greet Ji Yuan first.
"I am Hei Ze Sheng, practicing in Baijiao Mountain in the South China Sea. I see that this friend does not have any moisture on his body. I wonder where he is practicing in the water?"
Aquatic creatures, especially sea creatures, when they say they practice in a certain mountain, they are mostly referring to the seabed terrain? Ji Yuan saw that the other party stopped him and seemed to be suspicious of him, so he said bluntly.
"I am not a water creature, and I do not practice in any body of water."
The man nodded and looked Ji Yuan up and down again.
"You are not from my water tribe? I believe you must have a powerful aura-hiding treasure? Are you coming to Tongtian River today to congratulate Lady Ying on her transformation into a dragon?"
"I guess so. I wonder why you stopped me?"
Ji Yuan looked at the man in front of him. He had a strong watery aura, but he didn't have any hostility. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would deliberately cause trouble.
The man bowed at this moment, with no intention of making things difficult for Ji Yuan. He took out a glass of wine from somewhere and handed it to Ji Yuan.
"Is it an offense? You don't usually chat with immortal cultivators. If you don't have other friends, why don't you sit over there? We are all water cultivators. We have no ill intentions."
Ji Yuan took the wine glass and looked to one side. Inside the bubble restriction, there were several tables that were close to each other, with 70% of the occupancy rate standing. Some people were also looking outside, and they were obviously acquainted with the man.
"No need. Even though I have no idea where to eat, I have already been assigned a seat at the banquet, so I have to go."
Arranged a banquet seat? In the Dragon Palace
The man nodded, bowed respectfully to Ji Yuan, and then stepped aside. It seemed that the other party was invited. That was good, good...
"I apologize for any offense."
"Nothing, the wine is good."
Ji Yuan drank the wine and returned the glass to the man in Confucian robes who had already moved to the side. The latter took the glass and watched Ji Yuan, whose long hair and clothes fluttered in the water, slowly stepping on the water and leaving. He waited until Ji Yuan's back disappeared in the river flow under the water before he withdrew his gaze, wiped his forehead subconsciously, and returned to the bubble restriction.
"Brother Ze Sheng, do you know that person just now?" "Yes, Brother Ze Sheng, why did you suddenly come out to say hello and toast?"
"Brother Zesheng, what's wrong with you?"
Several people nearby noticed that there was something wrong with the man in the scholar's robe, and his face looked a little unwell. The man was indeed a little dazed, and then suddenly his body trembled.
"No, we need to figure it out more!"
After saying that, the man in Confucian robes immediately rushed out. Seeing this, several water creatures nearby also realized that something important had happened, and several of them followed him out.
"Master Yasha, Master Yasha!"
The man in Confucian robes searched for a while along the river and finally found a patrolling Yaksha. Although the other party's cultivation was not as good as his, as the saying goes, a fifth-rank official in the prime minister's office, the patrolling Yaksha of Tongtian River has a high status.
Seeing several transformed water creatures hurrying over, the patrolling Yaksha couldn't help but frown.
"What can I do for you?"
The rest of the water creatures all looked at the man in Confucian robes. They had no idea what was going on. The latter calmed himself down and spoke quickly.
"Excuse me, Lord Yasha, do you know anything about the people that the Dragon Palace will invite?"
"Well... I only know some general information, but I don't know who was invited specifically."
Yaksha looked at the visitor strangely. Why was this person asking this
"Uh, did you invite an immortal cultivator? His name should be..."
The man hesitated and changed his words.
"He should be wearing a black jade hairpin, a wide-sleeved white shirt, and his eyes..."
Yasha smiled and interrupted directly.
"You are talking about Mr. Ji, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes... It's Mr. Ji, it's Mr. Ji, Yasha recognizes him?"
The man in Confucian robes said “yes, yes, yes” very quickly. Yaksha found it funny but answered truthfully.
"Mr. Ji is a master of the immortal way and a close friend of the Dragon Lord. I heard that they have been friends for hundreds of years. Mr. Ji also helped a lot in the success of Lady Ying's transformation into a dragon. How could we not invite him to the Dragon Transformation Banquet? Are you asking for Mr. Ji? "
The man in the Confucian robes let out a long sigh, and his face turned red at this moment.
"I see, I see, that's good, that's good... Uh, nothing, nothing! I'm sorry for disturbing Lord Yasha, bye!"
"Okay, if you have anything, just let me and my colleagues know."
"Yes Yes!"
The man in Confucian robes nodded to the friends around him whom he had just met, and returned to his original table. The water creatures nearby were all confused, and couldn't help but follow him back to his seat.
"Brother Zesheng, what are you singing about?"
"Yeah, I just saw that person treading water and his face didn't look very good."
"Yes, and ask the Patrol Yaksha. Those who come to the Dragon Transformation Banquet are either here to congratulate us or are invited. Is there any need to be surprised?"
The man in scholar's robes looked at the water around him and grinned.
"You don't know something. Ignorance is bliss... I was really scared just now!"
"Frightened?" "By whom? That Mr. Ji?"
"Do you have a festival?"
"Bullshit, what grudge do I have against Mr. Ji? We have never had any grudges in our entire life. There will never be any grudges!"
The man in the scholar's robe seemed slightly excited.
"Then please help me, Brother Zesheng!" "Yes, although we are not old acquaintances, we met at the Dragon Transformation Feast today and we feel like old friends at first sight!"
"Yes, Brother Zesheng, please reveal some information. From what that Yaksha said, this Mr. Ji is definitely a master of the immortal way!"
The man in Confucian robes then looked in the direction of Dragon Palace, thought for a moment and then explained.
"If you have heard of the Ten Thousand Monsters Banquet, then seeing Mr. Ji at this Dragon Transformation Banquet is probably similar to me..."
"The Banquet of Ten Thousand Monsters?" "What Banquet of Ten Thousand Monsters?"
"We, the water tribe, have gathered here to celebrate, and this can be considered a feast for all monsters..."
“Pah, pah, pah, pah… We are holding a dragon transformation banquet, Empress Ying’s dragon transformation banquet, not some feast for all monsters!”
The man in Confucian robes said this with great taboo, and then hurriedly said.
"It seems that you really don't know, but this matter will spread all over the world sooner or later. You don't know how powerful Mr. Ji is..."
"From what Brother Zesheng said, he is a close friend of Lord Yinglong, so his cultivation must be extraordinary."
The man in Confucian robes shook his head.
"You don't understand. Listen to me. The Ten Thousand Monsters Banquet I'm talking about is a grand banquet for all monsters held in Black Dream Spirit Continent not long ago!"
The expressions of most of the surrounding aquatic creatures changed slightly.
"Heihuang?" "Brother Zesheng went to attend the Ten Thousand Monsters Banquet?"
Most of the water creatures present were cultivators, and many were even water gods of a region. Even if they did not rely on the will of mortals, many of them had temples, and naturally they were somewhat resistant to Heihuang.
"Of course not! I only heard about it afterwards. I only heard about it afterwards! Besides, how could anyone who went to participate survive? I once went to the Ten Thousand Monsters Banquet out of curiosity. It was a vast expanse of mountains that had been completely scorched earth. I don't know how many evil monsters and demons died in that battle..."
The more the man in the Confucian robes spoke, the more the faces of the surrounding water creatures gradually changed from curiosity to astonishment and then to horror. How could someone use a thunder spell to attract the calamity of all monsters? In comparison, although the immortal cultivators of Tianyuzhou slaughtered monsters, it was also a big deal, but it was not so shocking.
"So when I saw Mr. Ji just now, I was really a little scared..."
"Indeed... it's good to figure it out!" "But Mr. Ji is so amazing, it would be great if I could visit him!"
"Yes, if I could ask an immortal to show me the way..."
"Hey, if you want to go, go ahead. I don't dare!"
