Chapter 3634: No Drunken Sage, Cao Yufeng (Not available today)

The Ni family has been one of the fastest-rising immortal cultivation families in Guangyun Realm over the past 100,000 years, with Ni Tianlong as their leader.

"Lord Thousand Illusions!" Wang Changsheng's gaze fell upon Ni Tianlong. He had heard Lin Qingqing mention this person before; Ni Tianlong was skilled in illusion techniques and possessed considerable divine abilities. Receiving an invitation from the Cao family to attend the Dao Discussion Assembly naturally indicated Ni Tianlong's genuine capabilities.

Chen Yueying stated solemnly that for the past few millennia, she had been traveling to find materials for awakening her aperture and had interacted frequently with other Mahayana cultivators. Many of them had mentioned Lord Thousand Illusions. At this moment, the giant silver ship also came to a halt, several hundred feet from the Nine Yuan.

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Wang." Ni Wuting clasped his hands and spoke courteously. A mix of emotions churned within him. Years ago, while traveling in Xuanyang Realm to find Lord Xuanji, he had unexpectedly saved the Immortal Couple of the Azure Lotus. He had never imagined that the Body Integration cultivators he had casually rescued back then would become famous across multiple realms. He felt somewhat fortunate that he had attended True Immortal Taihao's Mahayana celebration and even sent a congratulatory gift.

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Ni. Where is Fellow Daoist Xu?" Wang Changsheng asked, clasping his hands. The Fellow Daoist Xu he referred to was Lord Xuanji, who had previously been with Ni Wuting.

"Fellow Daoist Xu parted ways with us a while ago. I thought he had returned to Xuanyang Realm, but it seems he hasn't," Ni Wuting explained.

"I am Ni Tianlong. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Wang, Immortal Ye, and Fellow Daoist Qin," Ni Tianlong introduced himself, clasping his hands. Wang Changsheng and the others introduced themselves in turn, thus becoming acquainted.

A mass of crimson firelight appeared in the distant sky, stopped with a flash, and revealed Cao Tianhu's figure. "I am Cao Tianhu. Thank you, honored Fellow Daoists, for gracing us with your presence at our Cao family's Dao Discussion Assembly. We have already arranged your accommodations. Please come in." Cao Tianhu introduced himself and made a welcoming gesture.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, won't you conduct a check?" Su Jianjia asked curiously. Would the Cao family not check over a dozen Mahayana cultivators entering their territory?

"No need. I trust that none of you will cause trouble in our Cao family," Cao Tianhu said with full confidence. Causing trouble in the Cao family would have severe consequences. Hearing this, Wang Changsheng and the others showed surprise. If a dozen Mahayana cultivators were to enter Qinglian Island, Wang Changsheng would still send people to check them. It seemed the Cao family was extremely confident in their strength, allowing over a dozen Mahayana cultivators to enter without inspection.

"Hehe, that old scoundrel Cao has opened two apertures and cultivated his spirit domain to Grand Perfection. Who would dare cause trouble in the Cao family? That would be courting death," a teasing male voice came from the sky. As soon as the voice faded, a purple long rainbow appeared in the distant sky, moving incredibly fast. Not long after, the purple long rainbow stopped. The escape light receded, revealing a corpulent Daoist in a purple robe. A golden gourd hung from his waist, his face was flushed, and he reeked of alcohol. The purple-robed Daoist had a round face, small eyes, and a goatee. Judging by his aura, he was clearly a Mahayana cultivator.

"True Immortal Buzui!" Su Jianjia recognized the purple-robed Daoist. True Immortal Buzui was a notorious drunkard, exceptionally fond of drinking, and possessed extraordinary strength.

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Han! Ancestor Yichen mentioned you not long ago!" Cao Tianhu said with a smile. True Immortal Buzui and Cao Yichen had been friends for many years, which was why he openly called Cao Yichen "old scoundrel Cao." Without such personal ties, he wouldn't use such a familiar address.

"It seems he's acquired some good wine again. I hope this time I can drink to my heart's content. Last time at the Dao Discussion Assembly, my craving for wine was just piqued, and then there was no more," True Immortal Buzui said with a laugh.

"Let's talk inside! We'll arrange your accommodations first," Cao Tianhu said warmly, inviting them in.

Upon entering the Seven Star Mountain Range, rolling mountains stretched endlessly, dotted with numerous figures of Cao family disciples and various pavilions and palaces. As they passed a certain steep peak, a clear and resonant beast roar echoed. A red light flew towards them and soon stopped, revealing a three-headed Jia beast, entirely crimson. Judging by its aura, it was clearly an eighth-tier spirit beast. A young girl in a red skirt stood on the back of the three-headed Jia beast. The girl had a melon-seed face, cherry lips, a delicate nose, lively eyes, and a smile as radiant as a flower. This was Cao Yufeng, a Mahayana early-stage cultivator, possessing a Heavenly Seeker Physique and a natural diviner.

The three-headed Jia beast let out a loud roar, its eyes glinting fiercely as it stared intently at the cultivators on the Nine Yuan. Gongsun Yang snorted coldly, his body radiating spiritual light. He let out an exceedingly strange beast roar, emanating boundless majesty. Upon hearing this, the three-headed Jia beast's roar trembled slightly, and it immediately quieted down. Cao Yufeng was somewhat surprised. Her gaze fell on Gongsun Yang, and she asked curiously, "My name is Cao Yufeng. How should I address Fellow Daoist?"

"I am Gongsun Yang!" Gongsun Yang stated his name.

"Ancestor Yufeng, these Fellow Daoists are here for the Dao Discussion Assembly. Please keep your spirit beast in check, so it doesn't offend our guests," Cao Tianhu introduced.

"You carry on," Cao Yufeng nodded, lightly patted the three-headed Jia beast, and it flew away into the distance.

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, your abilities are truly impressive. Even an eighth-tier three-headed Jia beast obediently listens to you," Su Jianjia praised. She could naturally discern that Gongsun Yang possessed a certain spirit physique, enabling him to subdue spirit beasts of the same tier.

"Immortal Su, you flatter me. I've merely learned a few superficial techniques in beast taming," Gongsun Yang replied modestly.

"I have a clan member who is very interested in the art of controlling insects and taming beasts. Fellow Daoist Gongsun, perhaps you two can exchange pointers when the time comes," Cao Tianhu said with a smile.

Before long, they arrived above a massive valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Inside the valley was a vast estate with pavilions, towers, beautiful gardens, exotic rocks, and lush bamboo.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, you all will be staying here. Unless it's important, please don't wander around, as triggering any restrictions would be troublesome," Cao Tianhu said courteously.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, rest assured, we won't wander off," Qin Hao replied with a smile. It wasn't his first time attending a Dao Discussion Assembly, so he was quite familiar with the process.

"Please rest well for now. After some time, we will gather all Fellow Daoists to exchange insights on the Dao," Cao Tianhu finished, then took out a greenish square token, handed it to Qin Hao, and turned to leave.

Wang Changsheng and the others settled in. The estate offered numerous pavilions and palaces, allowing them to choose their accommodations freely.

"The Cao family keeps quite a few eighth-tier spirit beasts. Earlier, when we passed a certain area, I sensed a dangerous aura. It seems there's an eighth-tier spirit beast with an extremely potent bloodline, which explains why the Cao family let us in without inspection," Gongsun Yang said with a smile. For him to sense danger, it was certainly no ordinary spirit beast; its bloodline purity must have been exceptionally high.
