I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world-Chapter 436 - 30 Great Heavenly Venerate, The Queen Mother of the West

Chapter 436: Chapter 30 Great Heavenly Venerate, The Queen Mother of the West

"Taoist friend, I have long heard of your name, and today I am fortunate to meet you,"

Emperor Qinghua of the East stood before the jade table, his eyes twinkling with a smile.

"The name of the Six Imperial Emperor is often in my ears,"

Liang Hui’s hand reached out and with a gentle tap, a chair filled with dragon might appeared behind the Emperor.

"Please, take a seat!"

"You are too kind, Taoist friend. I apologize for the intrusion,"

Emperor Donghua sat down, his palm gently caressing the wooden chair, his gaze thoughtful.

"Taoist friend, having ascended from the Lower Realm just over a thousand years ago, you now command the Four Seas and rule over vast lands, accomplishing what billions of years’ worth of Dragon Race could not,"

"Truly a rare hero,"

The admiration was evident, spreading unabated up the steps.

Then, changing the tone, he exerted strength in his palm, pinching a splinter from the chair.

"The finesse in applying the Wood Great Path amazes even me,"

"Compared to yours, the Path of Crossing the World I tread falls far behind,"

Liang Hui withdrew his hand, resting it on the armrest, lightly tapping.

"Emperor, there must be other matters you wish to discuss. Feel free to speak your mind,"

"Your openness is refreshing,"

Emperor Qinghua of the East sighed lightly, seriousness masking his radiant face:

"May you not be mistaken in your cultivation of the Wood Great Path,"

"Should you decide to retreat this time, I am willing to protect your other paths of cultivation,"

Liang Hui’s hand paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on the Emperor’s silhouette. He could tell the other was serious.

Unable to suppress a chuckle, he spoke word for word:

"What joke is this?"

"Great Paths are fought over, how could one retreat? Could the Paths cultivated over millions, tens of millions of years be relinquished just like that?"

"It seems, then, an inevitable dispute awaits if Taoist friend insists on advancing upon the Wood Great Path,"

"Be prudent!"

Emperor Qinghua of the East’s expression turned indifferent as he slowly rose and walked toward his Imperial Throne.

In an instant, the initial cordiality between them was gone.

Liang Hui watched the departing figure, his hand waving once, causing the chair in front of him to disperse into nothingness.

At the same moment, a very faint and unique surge of energy was also captured and stored away through Divine Skills.

His hand propped his cheek, countless thoughts crossing his mind.

All eventually merging into one.

Did the other party detect his concealment?

Although the Myriad Spirits Great Path can simulate various Taoism Enlightenments, and with his own understanding of the Wood Great Path, he could completely deceive others.

But facing a powerhouse of the Six Imperial level, whether he could keep his secrets was uncertain.

As for the conversation just had with Emperor Qinghua of the East, he took it merely at face value, not seriously.

On the other side.

Emperor Qinghua of the East had already taken his seat on the Imperial Throne, a layer of Immortal Light rising, blurring his form and shielding him from prying eyes.

He leaned back against the throne, his face wearing a compassionate smile.

"Taoist Pure Yang, our esteemed Dragon Emperor has likely not tread upon the Wood Great Path. His methods of concealment are extremely sophisticated, yet still fall a bit short in my presence,"

"As for which Great Path he cultivates, I cannot determine."

"Thank you for your assistance, Qinghua Taoist, you will be handsomely rewarded in the future." A low voice resounded by his ear.

Emperor Qinghua of the East’s lips curled up, touched by pleasure.

A favor from Lv Dongbin was of great utility to him and might even save his life when pivotal.

....

Time kept passing.

As more immortals arrived, the entirety of the Turquoise Pool gradually had no seats left.

Both the Six Imperial and the Five Directions Star Monarch had arrived, leaving only two thrones at the very top hovering empty.

As Liang Hui observed True Lord Fire Virtue and the Six Imperial Emperor, his brow suddenly furrowed, and he directed his gaze towards the entrance of the Turquoise Pool.

At that moment, one immortal after another stood up, stepping forward:

"The congregation of immortals welcomes the High Heavenly Saint, the great benevolent Jade Emperor, and the exalted Supreme Venerable of the celestial dome!"

"Welcome, the Queen Mother of the West, seated upon the Nine Dragon Dark Robe and Turquoise Throne!"

At that moment, two colossal deities, each a thousand feet tall, strode forward and ascended the steps to sit at the very top.

One divine being, clad in the Nine Dragon Dark Robe, feet shod in Green Moon Boots, head crowned with the Purple Crystal Crown, with a face deeply concealed under the regal diadem.

It was the Jade Emperor!

One divine lady wore the Spirit Flying Ribbon, with the Dividing Scene Sword hanging at her waist, her head adorned with the sublime coronet of the True Morning, and her feet clad in the Mystic Phoenix Pattern, exulting in noble splendor.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West sat upon the Imperial Throne, their bodies gathering immeasurable radiance.

The Jade Emperor slightly turned his eyes and emitted a broad light, illuminating the Great Wilderness and the Endless Boundary Sea.

In the midst of the great hall, a host of immortals bowed down, including the Six Imperial, the Five Star Monarch, and Liang Hui, all of whom slightly folded their hands in respect.

"We pay homage to the Heavenly Golden Palace, the Supreme Venerable, the Naturally Wondrous, the Extensively True, the Jade Emperor!"

"Homage to the High Heavenly Saint of the White Jade Turtle Platform, the Nine Supreme True Ultimate Holy Mother, the Supreme Pure Spirit Primordial Monarch, the Great Saint Queen Mother of the West!!"

As the celestials bowed together, the Jade Emperor gently raised his hand:

"My lords, this is not a council meeting but a grand feast; such formalities are unnecessary."

"Rise!"

The immortals gradually stood up and sat down on their chairs, lacking the earlier ambiance.

The Great Heavenly Venerate slightly turned his head, looking towards the throne on his right.

"Mysterious Water, my dear brother, this must be your first time attending such a grand gathering."

"Having come from the Lower Realm, it’s indeed my first time at the Peach Banquet."

Liang Hui’s expression was gentle, his arms resting evenly on the Jade Table.

"This table of rare fruits, even the Dragon Palace seldom sees such an array."

"If you are pleased, dear brother, that is all that matters."

The Great Heavenly Venerate nodded his head.

He then shifted his gaze to the dignified and splendid female immortal beside him.

"All the immortals have arrived, let us begin."

"Very well."

At that crisp, cool voice, the flow of the Heavenly River in the Vault of Heaven suddenly halted.

Columns of light fell down, and when the brilliance had dispersed, several celestial maidens in flowing robes stood in the hall.

Some held fruit plates, others held wine jugs, and still others carried various treasures.

They gracefully moved, their garments fluttering with their movements, stunningly beautiful.

They placed various foods on the immortals’ tables.

Some celestial maidens stood in the middle of the Turquoise Pool, dancing gracefully, their exceptional allure captivating all onlookers.

Liang Hui glanced at the dance, then his gaze dropped to the increasingly abundant food on the Jade Table.

He reached out his hand, picked up a fruit, and bit into it.

Crunch!

The flesh was firm, fragrant against his lips and teeth; warmth streamed through his body, though quickly disappearing.

’Qi-blood improved a bit, not bad.’

The youth murmured in his heart.

Given his current strength, the ability to improve Qi-blood by even a bit meant this fruit was truly a treasure of Heaven and Earth.

As thoughts passed, he swallowed the fruit in a few more bites.

He picked up a wine jug, poured himself a cup, and, leaning back against the Imperial Throne, slowly drank.

He wasn’t fond of alcohol, preferring tea, but he had to admit, the wine of the Celestial Court was excellent.

Time passed continuously, and as rare delicacies were served, the dance became even more mesmerizing.

The atmosphere in the Turquoise Pool warmed up too, and when figures bearing Peaches appeared from the Heavenly River, the atmosphere peaked.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, this is the Peach, nurtured by the Innate Spirit Root Peach Tree for Ten Chaotic Years before coming into existence."

"Even in the Celestial Court, it is a treasure among treasures."

A beautiful lady stood before the Jade Table, pointing at the peach on the silver platter.

Liang Hui gazed deeply at the peach, seeing universes form within it, endless Innate Purple Qi converging inside.

"Much obliged."

Liang Hui chuckled lightly as he took the wine jug, poured a cup, and handed it over.

"Drink!"

"Thank you, Dragon Emperor, for the wine."

The celestial maiden’s eyes sparkled with delight; as a mere servant in the Turquoise Pool, receiving wine from the Dragon Emperor was a boast-worthy honor in her life.

Moreover, this cup of wine was also an invaluable treasure for her.
