Chapter 4280: Great Luo Celebration

Many blue jade tables were arranged under the trees, laden with immortal fruits and wine. Behind each table sat a True Immortal cultivator. Surrounding peaks also hosted numerous blue jade tables, indicating a vast gathering of True Immortal cultivators.

Tianfeng City alone hosted no fewer than 100,000 True Immortal cultivators. Seating arrangements were based on power and background; the stronger and more influential one was, the closer they were positioned to the Welcoming Immortal Tree.

As Wang Changsheng was a Paragon, his family members reaped the benefits. All Wang family members attending the celebration gathered on Welcoming Immortal Peak to conveniently listen to Nangong Yueshuo's sermon.

A massive golden leaf, a hundred zhang in size, with visible golden patterns, served as a seating area. Five silver jade tables were placed on it, where Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingcheng, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Qiulin, Wang Xinghai, and others were gathered.

Wang Xinghai was visibly excited. As merely a True Immortal cultivator, his ability to sit there was entirely thanks to Wang Changsheng. He looked around at the other leaves, noting that other Grand Unity Golden Immortals had brought their disciples and followers, most of whom were Golden Immortals, with very few True Immortal cultivators. For a True Immortal cultivator, being able to listen to a Great Luo Golden Immortal's sermon up close was an immense honor.

Chen Yueying, Ni Tianlong, Four Seasons Sword Sovereign, Gongsun Yang, Zhou Yushan, and others also attended the celebration. Thanks to Wang Changsheng, their seats were positioned at the mid-section of the Welcoming Immortal Tree, granting them better spots than many veteran Golden Immortals.

Wang Changsheng's gaze swept towards the four golden leaves. On each sat a Great Luo Golden Immortal: three men and one woman.

One was a plump, fair-skinned old man in a green robe, with a round face and small eyes. This was Du Jun, Deputy Sect Master of Myriad Treasure Sect, who possessed early Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.

Another was a beautiful, slender woman in a golden dress, with lively eyes. This was Han Xue, Deputy Sect Master of Celestial Pill Sect, who was also an early Great Luo Golden Immortal.

A tall, thin Daoist in a green robe wore a green lotus crown and had a green wine gourd tied to his waist. This was Daoist Qingmei, a rogue cultivator, who possessed early Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.

The last was a medium-built young man in a silver robe, with lightning-like patterns across his body. He was Immortal Lord Yulei, a disciple of Kunlun Dao Ancestor, and possessed mid-Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.

"How is it that Fellow Daoist Nangong hasn't arrived yet?" Daoist Qingmei said. "My thirst for wine is almost unbearable!"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why the rush?" Han Xue said with a smile. "The immortal wine isn't going anywhere."

Daoist Qingmei had a deep love for immortal wine. For this Great Luo Golden Immortal celebration, the Nangong Immortal Clan had specifically prepared a pot of fourth-grade immortal wine, Snowberry Immortal Dew, to entertain the Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"No, it won't run away," Daoist Qingmei replied, his face filled with anticipation. "But I came specifically for the Snowberry Immortal Dew. I've long heard of its renown but have never tasted it."

The ringing of bells resounded, followed by a loud male voice announcing, "We respectfully invite Patriarch Yueshuo!" The man's voice spread throughout Tianfeng City, echoing continuously.

No sooner had the words faded than a gigantic, seven-colored rainbow bridge materialized, spanning tens of thousands of miles. Nangong Yueshuo appeared at one end of the bridge and, with a flash, instantly reappeared at the other, hovering above the main platform—a clear demonstration of formation power.

"Greetings, Senior Nangong!" Wang Changsheng and the other cultivators all rose and bowed respectfully. Daoist Qingmei and the other two Great Luo Golden Immortals also rose and nodded slightly.

Nangong Yueshuo descended from the seven-colored rainbow bridge and landed on the main platform. Her gaze swept over Daoist Qingmei and the others; she smiled, nodded, and then took her seat.

"Please be seated, everyone," Nangong Yueshuo said with a smile. "Thank you for traveling so far to attend my Great Luo Golden Immortal celebration."

"My master, Immortal Lord Yulei, presents two high-grade immortal artifacts and a pot of Jade Lang Brew, congratulating Senior Nangong on reaching new heights."

"Myriad Treasure Sect presents two high-grade immortal artifacts and ten 30-million-year-old immortal herbs, congratulating Senior Nangong on advancing to Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"Celestial Pill Sect presents one Purple Jade Marrow Pill and ten 30-million-year-old immortal herbs, congratulating Senior Nangong on advancing to Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"My master, Daoist Qingmei, presents thirty 30-million-year-old immortal herbs, wishing Senior Nangong continued advancement."

Representatives from various major powers presented their congratulatory gifts. Besides those from Immortal Lord Yulei, Myriad Treasure Sect, Celestial Pill Sect, and Daoist Qingmei, the Wang family's gift was the most precious. Wang Changsheng presented a high-grade immortal artifact and twenty 5-million-year-old immortal herbs. As the Wang family operated within a city under the jurisdiction of the Nangong Immortal Clan, a more valuable gift was considered normal. Wang Changsheng was skilled in artifact refining, so his presentation of a high-grade immortal artifact would not arouse suspicion.

Du Jun's gaze fell on Wang Changsheng, and he asked pleasantly, "You must be young friend Wang. Is this Blazing Fire Spear an artifact you refined?"

"Indeed, this junior refined it," Wang Changsheng replied respectfully.

"Excellent, a talent with great potential," Du Jun praised. "It would be even better if you were from our Myriad Treasure Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Du, your Myriad Treasure Sect already has many high-level immortal artifact masters," Nangong Yueshuo said with a smile. "You surely aren't short of a third-grade immortal artifact master like young friend Wang, are you?"

The Nangong Immortal Clan had already decided to form a marriage alliance with the Wang family, primarily valuing Wang Changsheng's mastery of the Soul Law. Tianfeng City governed nineteen subsidiary cities. Eleven of these had been managed by various other forces over tens of millions of years, with numerous changes in their administrators, yet not a single Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had mastered a Paragon Law had emerged from them. While Patriarch Li of the Li family had mastered the Soul Law, it was only a minor accomplishment, not a Paragon Law. Beyond his mastery of the Soul Law, Wang Changsheng was also proficient in artifact refining, making him a rare talent. The Nangong Immortal Clan naturally wanted to secure Wang Changsheng and the Wang family to their side, and a marriage alliance was the best way to achieve this. If Wang Changsheng were a rogue cultivator, the Nangong Immortal Clan would have recruited him as a son-in-law. Unfortunately, Wang Changsheng was already the patriarch of a clan.

"We certainly don't lack third-grade immortal artifact masters," Du Jun said with a smile. "What we lack are third-grade immortal artifact masters who have mastered Paragon Laws." Du Jun smiled, adding that if the Wang family operated within Myriad Treasure Sect's territory, he would certainly recruit Wang Changsheng. However, Wang Changsheng served under the Nangong Immortal Clan, and they would never let him go.

"I heard that young friend Wang had already cultivated his Law to great perfection during his Golden Immortal stage," Han Xue quipped. "If he can cultivate his Law to completion and advance to Great Luo Golden Immortal, then the Chahar Tribe will be in for trouble." To her knowledge, the Nangong Immortal Clan already possessed two immortals who had mastered Paragon Laws. With Wang Changsheng joining their ranks, this was indeed not good news for the Chahar Tribe.

"Let alone Grand Unity Golden Immortals, even we have only achieved great perfection in our Laws," Daoist Qingmei said dismissively. "Cultivating a Law to completion is not that easy. The Nangong Immortal Clan has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and currently, only Fellow Daoist Nangong has managed it." The patriarchs of the Nangong Immortal Clan had never been able to cultivate their Laws to completion during their Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, but Nangong Yueshuo had achieved it.

"That's hard to say," Han Xue said with a smile. "The new waves push forth the old. Didn't Immortal Fairy Linglong achieve it? It's a pity she couldn't come due to other matters; otherwise, young friend Wang could have sought her advice."
