After a long time, the immortals lowered their heads in horror one by one, no longer daring to look directly at the Emperor of Heaven. The scene just now gave them a feeling as if mortals were spying on the true forms of immortals and gods. One must know that those present below were at least first-rate immortals and gods who had mastered the great principles of heaven and earth.
This is exactly what the immortals were shocked about: "Could it be that the gap between us and the Heavenly Emperor is greater than the gap between immortals and mortals?"
"The little fairy kowtows to the Emperor of Heaven!"
"I am the Immortal and I pay my respects to the Emperor of Heaven!"
“…Knock before the Emperor of Heaven”
All the immortals stood up and, led by the Celestial Official, bowed nine times to the Emperor of Heaven. Their voices shook the sky and even drowned out the immortal bell.
Afterwards, I felt that the momentum that seemed like the Heavenly Dao controlling the Dao of heaven and earth gradually disappeared, and the surrounding Dao laws and boundaries gradually stabilized.
It seemed as if the scene just now was caused by the overflow of the power of the Emperor of Heaven himself. That power was so strong that even the heaven could not bear it. As the Emperor of Heaven gathered his own power, it gradually stabilized.
The majestic music of the immortal chime bells spread throughout the heavens. Under the leadership of the Celestial Official, the group of immortals finally stopped after going through a complicated set of heavenly rituals.
However, the group of immortals also discovered that there were only three people sitting on the thrones of the Emperor of Heaven and the Four Heavenly Emperors, indicating that two of the Four Heavenly Emperors had not yet returned.
However, what was unexpected was that Emperor Yin of the underworld did not come this time.
Many of the immortals immediately began to speculate: "Is it because the underworld does not completely obey the control of the Heavenly Court? Or is it that the Yin Emperor does not obey the Emperor of Heaven?"
Many immortals and gods immediately began to imagine and come up with all kinds of guesses.
Amidst the various associations, shocks, and respectful expressions of the crowd below, the Celestial Official finally shouted loudly, "Begin the feast!"
The fairies finally sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. Countless fairies and fairy children flew up, like celestial beings dancing in the sky, and brought up all kinds of fairy food, thousand-year-old spiritual wine, and peaches.
The sound of stringed instruments rang out, and above the sea of clouds, the most beautiful celestial being in the three realms performed all kinds of magic arts, accompanied by a celestial dance. This dance and music was not only pleasing to the ears, but also sang the praises of the great way of heaven and earth.
As the celestial maiden danced, golden lotuses emerged from her feet and rays of light fell from the sky. Amid the music, one could see the immortal formation controlling the heaven and earth, constantly transforming into various visions of heaven and earth that seemed real and illusory.
The dragon girl Fu Jia, who was sitting next to the Emperor of Heaven, actually watched the celestial dance and after it ended, she realized a magical skill.
"Master! This dance of heaven and man..."
The dragon girl Fu Jia was so shocked and excited that she almost jumped up. This dance between heaven and man could actually make people realize a magic. She had never dared to think about it before. However, seeing that the fairies looked at it indifferently, she felt that she was making a fuss out of nothing and then stopped talking.
The dragon girl Fu Jia only felt that she had really seen the real world today, but she also had a feeling of loss. She felt that among all the immortals in the sky, there was no place for her.
She set her sights on the immortal food and peaches in front of her. The tiny thousand-year-old peaches, filled with immortal air, immediately made her salivate.
The Emperor of Heaven Fang Xiu seemed to sense the Dragon Girl's loss. He tapped the fairy peach grown from the fairy root of the Peach Tree in front of him, and saw it fly to the Dragon Girl's small jade table. However, he immediately produced two jade boxes to put a thousand-year-old peach and a fairy peach in them, and did not allow the Dragon Girl to eat them.
"It's okay for immortal gods to eat a little of this peach, at most they can just try it for fun, but for mortals it can be very beneficial, prolonging life and making them immortal."
"But cultivators like you who hope to become immortals cannot eat it."
Dragon Girl Fu Jia asked: "Why?"
"This peach can prolong life because eating it can turn you into a creature in the immortal world, and you will be nourished by the immortal energy. But at the same time, it also blocks the possibility of mortals practicing and attaining enlightenment. Immortals and gods have already attained enlightenment, so of course they can ignore it. If you eat it, you will have no hope of attaining the great Dao in the future."
After hearing this, the dragon girl Fu Jia shuddered suddenly and didn't even dare to touch the fairy food and wine on the table.
The Heavenly Official Emperor laughed and said, "Other immortal foods don't have this effect. Eating them can even increase your cultivation. These ten thousand year peaches have no effect on you. You can give them to others in the future. But the immortal peaches grown on the immortal root of the peach master can be eaten after you achieve enlightenment. They can increase your understanding of the Great Dao and even be beneficial to your future achievement of the Golden Immortal."
After hearing this, Dragon Girl Fu Jia immediately asked, "Then it will be useful to you, Master! You don't have to give it to Jia'er!"
The Emperor of Heaven shook his head and said, "This peach is just a piece of chicken ribs to me. It is useless to eat it, but it is a pity to throw it away!"
After hearing this, the dragon girl Fu Jia carefully put away the box.
In the various palaces in the Heavenly Palace under the Lingxiao Palace, all the families of immortals and gods are here, drinking happily on the cloud beds and paying tribute to each other. After all, those who can come here have at least a supreme immortal or a star god behind them. Compared with the royal relatives and various second generations, this identity background is not worth mentioning.
Even when the second generation of Taoist ancestors were practicing hard, they were already enjoying the Peach Banquet in the Fairy Palace. As long as the immortals behind them remained standing, it was equivalent to immortality.
In front of each person was a thousand-year-old peach on a jade plate. It was picked from the Fairy Peach Garden and still carried the rhythm of the immortal root and the vitality of all things.
This mortal and minor cultivator had no chance of attaining enlightenment, so he swallowed the peach together with the core one bite at a time. In an instant, a clear air enveloped his body, and his flesh and blood instantly turned into light, and he floated towards the sky as if he had lost weight.
The immortal root laws within the peach core surged out, instantly imprinting the reshaped body with the Dao patterns of heaven. At this moment, this mortal body turned into an existence similar to an immortal body, but it was only similar, and in reality there was a world of difference.
Many people even had the illusion that they had become immortals, and shouted excitedly: "I became an immortal! I became an immortal!"
A fairy peach banquet, a blissful feast of the supreme immortal god. In this fairyland without birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone seemed to be lost in the dream of bliss and longevity.
At the banquet, there were dances of celestial beings, music played by gods, and cups were constantly clinked, as if there were no day or night. Some gods and immortals drank the wine from the fairyland and felt a wave of drunkenness rising in their hearts, which was equivalent to three days and nights in the human world before the wine finally stopped.
The celestial maidens and fairies left the stage, and all the fairies stood up, ready to see the three Heavenly Emperors and Heavenly Lords off.
The Emperor of Heaven did not speak, but the great god Hou Tu among the Heavenly Lords spoke.
"After this Immortal Feast, the entire Three Realms will choose a date to leave this central realm and head to the battlefield opened up in the ancient times to conquer and open up foreign lands and fulfill the covenant made by the gods in the heavenly court in the ancient times."
"Among all the Immortal Lords, if there are any who want to open up a Taoist temple outside the domain, or want to become a Taoist ancestor, or want to comprehend and open up a small world to comprehend the way of the Golden Immortal, you can respond to the agreement of the ancient gods, and the Heavenly Court will help you."
The immortals bowed in obedience and shouted, "We will obey the decree of the Heavenly Lord!"
Afterwards, surrounded by the guards of the immortals and celestial beings, the Emperor Beiyu rode on his immortal chariot and led a mighty group of immortals to the north of the heaven. The great god Houtu led his gods to the Houtu Sacred Mountain high in the heaven. The Emperor of Heaven turned into light again and returned to the nine heavens, as if the heavenly way high above was looking down on the three realms and all living beings.
The immortals who had been so respectful just now only recalled what the great goddess Hou Tu had said. They did not dare to ask or even look directly at the two Heavenly Lords and the Immortal Emperor.
But as soon as the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Heaven left, looking back, he felt that there were some intriguing things in this final decree of the Lord of Heaven.
"The battlefield opened up in the ancient times? The covenant among the gods in heaven in the ancient times? Have you ever heard of this ancient battlefield and the covenant among the gods in heaven? " These immortals who have become gods in this world have no idea what the great god Hou Tu is talking about. They are at a loss as they hold their golden cups and jade pots.
"Is this another secret from the ancient times? Have you fellow Taoists seen it in the secrets and records from the ancient times?" Tian Xingzi, the star official of the Mao Ri, asked several fellow Taoists around him who had started practicing since ancient times. Everyone had a heavy expression on their faces, but shook their heads.
"This matter may be related to the secrets of the ancient heaven, or even to the catastrophe of the three realms and the fall of all the immortals and gods." Peng Lie, the star of longevity among the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou, speculated.
Some of the ascended immortals from Hou Tuxing Mansion felt something was unusual and immediately thought of something: "Could this so-called battlefield opened up in the ancient times be the Earth?"
Zhang Heming, the Star God of Life, couldn't help but shudder, and instantly looked at the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Earth in front of him. The Emperor of Heaven just looked at the throne of Heaven indifferently, while the Emperor of Earth, Jia Yi, also changed his expression.
They immediately guessed the key point: this ancient heaven was actually going to move the entire three realms to the Earth universe.
