I will become the Demon Immortal known to the whole world-Chapter 437 - 31 Invitation from the True Lord of Fire Virtue

Chapter 437: Chapter 31 Invitation from the True Lord of Fire Virtue

After the maid drank the wine, her cheeks flushed with a rosy tint, and she covered her face with her sleeve as she slowly withdrew.

Liang Hui examined the Peach, reaching out with his palm to delicately inspect it.

Unlike ordinary fruits’ softness, it felt as smooth and hard as jade.

His eyes lit with divine light, observing the peach even more carefully.

Meanwhile, the Great Heavenly Venerate had already picked up a Peach and faced the assembly of immortals.

"My lords, let us eat this Peach together and revel in the mysteries of the Great Path," he said.

"We thank you for your grace, Great Heavenly Venerate!"

"To the everlasting enjoyment of the Great Path for the Great Heavenly Venerate and the Queen," they acclaimed.

The immortals also raised their Peaches in celebration.

Together with the Great Heavenly Venerate, the immortals swallowed the Peaches in their palms.

Liang Hui’s gaze flickered slightly as he lifted the Peach to his mouth, a silver shimmer passing through his mouth and the Peach disappearing instantly.

It was best not to swallow such mysterious divine items thoughtlessly—they weren’t as clear-cut in effect as water, wine, or common fruits.

Upon returning, he would observe the Peach clearly, and there would still be time to consume it then.

The most crucial aspect was that this feast was not entirely peaceful for him.

Pretending to have swallowed the Peach, Liang Hui leaned against the Imperial Throne and began to drink alone.

Seated at the very top, the Great Heavenly Venerate and the Queen left the palace after finishing their Peaches.

With the departure of these two supreme beings of heaven and earth, the atmosphere at the Turquoise Pool became more spirited, and the noise gradually escalated.

Some forged relationships, others discussed Taoism, or clinked their cups together in toast.

At that moment, a man clad in dark red armor stood up from the crowd and began conversing as he walked amongst the immortals.

Finally, he ascended the steps and approached Liang Hui.

"Fire Connection Heavenly Monarch Liu Huan, pays his respects to the Dragon Emperor!"

Liu Huan bowed deeply, his demeanor respectful.

"What brings you here, Heavenly Monarch?" Liang Hui asked, setting down his cup with a lazy expression.

Yet an overwhelming aura of ancient vitality and intense vigor unconsciously emanated from him.

To Liu Huan, it felt as if he faced the towering universal tree that existed at the dawn of heaven and earth, bearing an indescribable colossal pressure.

"My lord invites you to a gathering after the feast to discuss matters."

"What matters can be discussed now?"

"After the feast, there are things concerning the Four Seas that need attention; there will be no time for the gathering," Liu Huan replied.

Liang Hui rested his hand on the table, fiddling with his cup while his gaze drifted into the distance.

He saw a brawny Great Han nodding at him with a friendly smile.

Ha!

With a light chuckle, he withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the solemn-faced Fire Connection Heavenly Monarch Liu Huan.

He raised his hand and gently waved.

In an instant, Liu Huan was swept down the steps, stumbling back to his Jade Table.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Several figures rose from their tables, glaring furiously at Liang Hui.

The Fire Department’s immortals were always united, and seeing the Fire Connection Heavenly Monarch insulted, they could hardly contain their anger.

Moreover, the one who had acted was a mere Azure Dragon from the Lower Realm who had, by luck and cunning, ascended to the rank of Emperor.

"Sit down!"

A cold voice echoed from the steps, like countless volcanoes on the verge of eruption.

A brawny Great Han rose from the Imperial Throne, holding his cup and scanning the Fire Department’s immortals.

As his gaze fell upon them, one by one, they bowed their heads and sat down.

Only then did the Great Han turn his gaze toward Liang Hui.

"My fellow Taoist, my Fire Department has offended you. As a self-punishment, I drink this cup," he said.

Lifting his cup, he drank it all in one gulp and then sat down as if nothing had happened.

Following the recent event, the previously quiet atmosphere grew noisy once again.

This time, the eyes of the immortals occasionally turned towards the so-called Dragon Emperor.

As an Emperor-figure, yet treated by the assembly of Immortals like this, such an incident had never occurred before, and Huo De Zhen Jun merely picked it up lightly and put it down just as gently.

For a moment, the majesty of the Supreme Dragon Emperor from Mysterious Water had nearly vanished significantly.

How the Immortals reacted mattered little to Liang Hui, his face under his divine light was partially smiling.

The last one, blocking the origin of the Pure Yang Great Path, was confirmed.

Huo De Zhen Jun!

Just as Xi He had said.

As for the invitation just now, whether it was a test or a confirmation, it was no longer important.

Liang Hui poured himself another cup of wine and slowly began to drink, appearing languid, yet his eyes were deep and dark.

On the other hand.

Fire Connection Heavenly Monarch had already secretly transmitted the acquired information to Huo De Zhen Jun.

"Your Highness, a hundred eighty-five new members of the Celestial Court and six hundred sixty-two original celestial officers—except for the five who refused—all are willing to visit the Fire Department after the banquet ends!"

"I understand, my wise brother."

Huo De Zhen Jun’s expression was cold as he watched the five figures who had refused the invitation.

The one of the highest rank was undoubtedly the newly promoted Dragon Emperor.

This time, his invitation was not made casually, but rather, it was intended to probe for the hidden contender in the Tao Struggle.

When the Fire De Hall was established, there existed a mirror that could spy into other creatures’ Flame Path and several related paths.

This information was known only to him, Huo De Zhen Jun, for that mirror was related to the Great Luo Level.

And that mirror, seemingly connected to the previous Era, unfortunately could not be taken out of the Fire De Hall.

Otherwise, there would be no need for such trouble!

However, this event would also limit the range within which the Tao Struggle contender could be confined.

But this move had already aroused the snake, making it a troublesome issue that the Tao Struggle contender had directly hidden.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Huo De Zhen Jun’s mind as his palm unconsciously tapped the Jade Table, producing a sound like metal striking metal.

He was hesitating, fluctuating, and pondering.

Hu~

A breath of turbid air was exhaled, and his tapping hand suddenly stopped.

A glint of cold light flashed in Huo De Zhen Jun’s eyes.

Since it was done, it had to be thoroughly and drastically carried out.

Once he eliminated that individual and comprehended his Pure Yang Taoism Enlightenment, it would be enough for him to advance further and leave behind his two peers.

Having made his decision, he no longer hesitated, and a voice transmitted into the mind of Fire Connection Heavenly Monarch.

At the same time, various maneuvers began secretly, a large net was spreading out.

Time passed, it was uncertain how much time had elapsed.

The Peach Banquet started to draw to a close.

One by one, the fairy maidens concealed their figures, and various treasures were no longer being offered.

The assembly of Immortals knew this banquet was coming to an end.

With the sounding of a bell, the figures stood up one by one, bowed towards the empty Imperial Throne on the steps, and then left the Turquoise Pool.

Liang Hui also stood up at this moment, his figure slowly dissipating, vanishing above the Imperial Throne.

A streak of azure light fell from the Celestial Court straight down through the thirty-three heavens, then entered the Gang Wind, headed towards the Four Seas.

Liang Hui’s speed was not fast, his body even slightly shaky, specks of life force seemingly substantial, spilled from his body.

It seemed he had consumed too many celestial treasures and could not fully digest them all at once.

It was about three Hours before he neared the East Sea.

Suddenly, the young man’s footsteps halted, ripples stirred deep in his eyes as if a fish was hooked.

A man dressed in dark red armor, with a rugged face, blocked Liang Hui’s path.

"Fire Connection Heavenly Monarch, waiting here, what is your intention?"

"Your Majesty, the True Monarch invites you again, please do not make this difficult for me," Fire Connection Heavenly Monarch said, his expression steady, as he bowed deeply.

"An invitation?"

Liang Hui’s expression was indifferent as he scanned the surroundings, and scoffed coldly:

"An invitation shared by fifteen hundred immortals from the Fire Department is indeed rare in both the past and present!"
