Chapter 1362

"You're right, Fellow Zhu Yan. I had my doubts before, but now that I've seen these two, I can tell that they're not easy to deal with based on their aura fluctuations.

Besides, we're all Dao Ancestors, and we're restricted by the Heavenly Dao. Once we get serious and fight to the death, we'll lose more than we gain, "Dong Li Hu said.

"This matter was personally ordered by the Supreme Master. I'm afraid we'll be suspected of dereliction of duty …" Meng Yuan said hesitantly.

"Fellow Meng Yuan, if you really can't get over it, why don't you step into the formation and fight first? We won't just stand by and watch. We'll watch from the side, and it'll be a good opportunity for us to witness your amazing abilities. What do you say?" Zhu Yan said with a smile.

Meng Yuan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he suddenly felt a little angry.

"Enough. Since we've already imprisoned these two, we just need to make sure that they can't cause trouble in the Heavenly Court. There's no need to go in and fight.

When the Bodhi Banquet is over, the Supreme Master will naturally make a decision, "Zi Shan said softly.

She was obviously the leader of the four. After hearing her conclusion, no one said anything else.

The child-like Meng Yuan inwardly let out a sigh of relief. Naturally, he didn't truly wish to fight to the death with Han Li. The only reason he said those words was so that if he were to be held accountable in the future, he would be able to absolve himself.

After all, it was the others who refused to fight.

"I didn't expect that we'd have to stand guard here for a banquet. It seems that we won't be able to taste the Bodhi Fruit of Way …" The old woman sighed softly, and her words were full of regret.

The others also sighed inwardly, and their resentment toward Han Li and Liu Qiyue increased by another degree.

… …

Central Mainland Celestial Realm.

Above the sea outside the Yingtian Gate of Nanshan Continent, huge spirit boats floated in the air. Banners fluttered on them, and a huge commander's flag was erected in the center, with the words "Samsara Palace" written on it.

The spirit boats and the void of the sea were densely packed with figures. Most of them wore the uniform of the Samsara Palace, and their faces were covered with a variety of Samsara Palace masks. They looked like they were ready for battle.

On the deck of the leading spirit boat, there were seven or eight figures standing side by side. Six of them were wearing black masks, and only the two in the middle were showing their true faces.

One of them was a Youth with short silver hair. He wasn't too tall, but his muscles were as tough as steel. His face was covered with a black cloth that only covered his nose and mouth. His green eyes were flashing with a strong killing intent.

Behind him, there were two green sabers crossed on his back. The sabers were long and narrow without a scabbard, and their entire bodies were emerald green like crystals. There was a faint green mist constantly overflowing from the sabers, as if they were breathing.

Beside him stood a dark-skinned Youth who was as tall as an iron tower. He was none other than Wu Yang.

"Tan Lang, has Palace Master entered the Heavenly Court?" Wu Yang frowned and asked.

"We've already entered through the Eastern Heavenly Gate. In a few more hours … the Bodhi Banquet should begin."

The silver-haired Youth spoke very slowly. His voice seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat bit by bit.

"How are Yan Biao and Xuan Yu?" Wu Yang asked, feeling slightly uneasy.

"You're too nervous … Relax, they're the ones who should be nervous …" Tan Lang raised his hand and pointed at the majestic Yintian Gate in the distance.

Wu Yang looked in the direction of his finger and saw that behind the Yintian Gate, huge beams of light of various colors rose from the ground from time to time. It was like a light array that soared into the sky, causing intense spatial ripples.

That was the location of the large teleportation array that connected the Nanzhang Continent to the other Celestial Domains. At this moment, it was very busy. A large number of the top figures of the True Immortal World were gathering from the various Celestial Domains. There was no lack of Dao Ancestors and Zenith Heaven Realm cultivators among them.

"The Cold Jade Saber behind me is a little thirsty. It's waiting to taste their blood …" Tan Lang laughed sinisterly.

On his face, which was covered by the black scarf, was a ghastly laceration that stretched from his ear all the way to the corner of his mouth.

…

In addition to the Northern Heaven Gate on the Northern Continent, the Samsara Temple also stationed millions of troops outside the Eastern Heaven Gate and Western Heaven Gate. They were in a stalemate with the Heavenly Court for many days.

However, although both sides provoked each other, they didn't really go all out to kill each other. They seemed to be rather restrained.

In these three Yintian Gates, especially the Northern Heaven Gate, it was the most lively. All the teleportation arrays were operating at full capacity, constantly bringing in the participating cultivators from all over the Celestial Domains.

On the nine continents of the Central Mainland Celestial Domain, almost everywhere was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and the atmosphere was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Some sects that were originally rooted in the Central Mainland Celestial Domain, although they might not be qualified to participate in the Bodhi Banquet, felt honored and held a grand ceremony during the banquet. Other sects from the Celestial Domains that were on good terms with them would also take this opportunity to visit them and experience the grand occasion of being the most benevolent place in the True Immortal World.

There were also major Celestial Chambers of Commerce and Celestial Sects that took advantage of this opportunity to hold all kinds of Treasure Appraisal Conventions, gathering all kinds of treasures from the True Immortal World, attracting countless Celestial Masters and Rogue Cultivators.

However, these kinds of revelry, after all, were only the ripples caused by the Bodhi Banquet. What really attracted attention were the official venues set up in the nine continents of the Celestial Domain. Those were the places where the most distinguished and powerful people of the entire True Immortal World gathered.

The central area of the Heavenly Palace Continent was a huge basin. Many of the important government offices of the Heavenly Court were located in this area. The main venue of this Bodhi Banquet was located in the sea of clouds above this area.

If one looked up at this sea of clouds from the bottom of the basin, no matter from which angle, one could see the clouds shining brightly and rising purple clouds. If one was lucky, one could even see various strange phenomena such as celestial horses flying and fairies dancing in the sea of clouds.

In fact, there was also a huge floating island that covered an area of millions of miles floating above this sea of clouds. It was called the Jade Lake Surreal Land by people. It was the permanent residence of the leader of the Seven Lords of the Heavenly Law, the Time Lord.

The periphery of the Jade Lake Surreal Land was surrounded by mountains, which were full of Spiritual Qi and surrounded by celestial mist. Waterfalls that were hundreds of feet high hung from the cliffs, like the Milky Way falling down, stirring up thousands of pearls.

Beside the deep pool under the waterfall, nine-colored deer bowed their heads and drank water. Their eyes were calm and happy.

In the forest not far away, from time to time, loud and clear cries could be heard, and there were vague sounds of celestial apes swinging their arms, showing their natural nature.

In the sky above the forest, a group of red-crowned cranes led a flock of celestial birds to fly over, and the sound of their cries was like celestial music, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Higher in the sky, there were tens of thousands of streams of light, like clusters of rainbows, converging toward the center of the surreal land.

Among the tens of thousands of streams of light, there were phoenix carriages and dragon carriages galloping endlessly. There were also Qilin beasts leaping past, and there were even more groups of immortals. They were dressed in luxurious feather clothes and flew on the clouds together. It was extremely lively.

The closer they got to the center of the Jade Lake Surreal Land, the denser the spiritual energy in the world. In fact, every day at dusk, the dew on the immortal herbs and spiritual trees in the forest was almost all condensed from pure spiritual energy.

As a result, every morning and evening, there would be a large number of immortal children and immortal children in charge of collecting in the mountains and rivers of the Surreal Land to brew the true Bejewelled Nectar.

In the center of the Jade Lake Surreal Land, there was a clear lake with a radius of 50 kilometers. The lake water was clear and smooth like a mirror. Its shape looked like an open fan, and it was called the Clear Lake.

Behind the Clear Lake, there was an old locust tree that was so old that few people could accurately tell its age. It was more than 10,000 feet tall, and its top was like a canopy that covered half of the lake.

Under the old locust tree, there was a two-story pavilion that was no more than 30 feet tall. It was where Dao Ancestor Time used to cultivate.

Outside the Clear Lake, it had been rebuilt into a huge semi-circular square.

The entire square looked like a larger fan. It was completely paved with white spirit jade, and there were ravines that were two feet wide in the middle. They led in the water of the Clear Lake and divided the entire square into layers. From the inside to the outside, it became larger and larger.

There were tens of thousands of purple jade tables placed on these semi-circular long areas. They were all burning with the fragrance of sandalwood, and all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables were placed on them to entertain the guests.

Every few thousand feet, there would be an open area in the middle of these seats. There was a slightly higher platform built, and there were beautiful immortals dressed in palace attire dancing to the sound of immortal music.

In the middle of the square, there was an area that was almost against the Clear Lake. It was the core of the entire square. There were only seven purple jade tables on it. At that moment, they were all empty. No one was sitting.

Not far from this row of tables, there were close to a hundred seats, and there were already dozens of people sitting in them.

Most of these people were old men with the demeanor of immortals. Most of them wore different clothes, and each of them had a profound aura. Their divine splendor was restrained. They were all Patriarchs of famous sects in the entire True Immortal Realm.

There was even no lack of legendary existences that had become legends and had been forgotten by the world.

Most of these people were sitting with their eyes closed, meditating and adjusting their breathing. They looked like they didn't care about what was happening around them. On the other hand, there were one or two men and women who looked like disciples following behind them. They couldn't help but look around curiously.

However, they were all from large sects, after all, so their behavior was rather restrained.

However, there were also exceptions. For example, there was a white-haired old woman sitting behind a table on the right side of this row, which was still close to the center. At this moment, she was sitting diagonally, and her body swayed back and forth like withered grass on the wall. When you looked closely, you would see that her eyelids were drooping, as if she was dreaming.

Behind her, there was also a beautiful woman in white with snow-white skin. Her body swayed like the former, and she nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic. Unexpectedly, she also looked drowsy.

However, just as her body fell forward again, a burst of purple light suddenly lit up on her body. Fine purple electric snakes suddenly jumped out from her body, and they were about to shoot in all directions.

At this time, the white-haired old woman who seemed to be sleeping even deeper than her suddenly twisted her body, and she pressed her hand on the woman's forehead.

The light on the woman's body faded, and then the purple electric disappeared without a trace. Then, she woke up in a daze and muttered,

"Master …"

"Girl Menghan, didn't I tell you that although the Five Thunder Righteous Scripture is the orthodox Thunder Method and you can cultivate it at the same time, you can't continue to cultivate the Thunder Method when you cultivate Master's Big Dream of Spring and Autumn. If you're not careful, you'll hurt yourself." The white-haired old woman looked at the woman and tried to persuade her.

The woman in white was none other than Yu Menghan.

When she parted with Han Li in Jiuyuan City, she was chosen by the ancestor of the Dream Cloud Sect by chance. She was accepted as the last disciple of the Dream Cloud Sect, and she was taught a supreme Immortal Method to cultivate in dreams.
