"Poisonous Snake?"
The originally excited Princess Long Ji's face suddenly darkened.
At that time, she indeed was a bit greedy, but did she deserve to be called a "poisonous snake"?
At this moment, Yu Yuan remembered who she was.
Back in the Eastern Emperor Heaven, he and Yun Zhongzi were enthusiastic about "performing chivalrous deeds," having saved this Lingyun Fairy and helped her retrieve a stolen treasure.
At the time, she had only one item stolen but falsely claimed it was two, only correcting herself with a red face when Yun Zhongzi made her vow on the Dao.
Afterwards, Yun Zhongzi reflected on it, using the story of "The Farmer and the Snake."
Thus, Yu Yuan unconsciously called her "poisonous snake" upon seeing her.
"Sorry, sorry, I just remembered wrongly... There's a White Snake Immortal who looks a lot like you do now, I mistook you for her just now."
Yu Yuan, with an unchanged expression and undisturbed heart, earnestly spouted nonsense.
"So, that's what happened."
Princess Long Ji nodded in understanding, "Then I can't use this appearance anymore!"
Saying this, she hurriedly changed back to her original appearance.
Her stature was just over five feet tall, petite and delicate, skin pale as jade, her nose fine and elegant, and her long eyes curved like bright crescents, reflecting clarity, depth, and soft beauty.
She wore a colorful immortal dress tightly hugging her petite waist, her whole body emitting a light fragrance like a budding flower about to bloom.
This Heavenly Emperor and Golden Mother are truly something, to have come out of Zixiao Palace not long ago and their child is already this grown!
No wonder the Heavenly Court, after being re-established for so long, still hasn't developed; they must have been busy having children, right?
Princess Long Ji waved her hand towards Li Changgeng, "There's no need for Heavenly Master Li here, I'll accompany the two Jie Sect immortals to Yaochi Palace later."
Li Changgeng hesitated slightly.
With his insight, he could see that his own princess and these two Jie Sect immortals were actually not familiar with each other.
But since the princess had spoken, he couldn't openly refuse.
He had to bow and take his leave, planning to send someone to follow them later.
Just in case something went wrong, there would be support.
After he left, Princess Long Ji immediately summoned a giant Green Bird, inviting Yu Yuan and Wen Zhong to join her.
Seeing that the wingspan of the Green Bird was a hundred yards and the space on its back was quite spacious, Yu Yuan didn't refuse.
The Green Bird spread its wings and soared, carrying the three through the clouds.
They hadn't flown far when Princess Long Ji excitedly turned to Yu Yuan and said, "I heard that the Chaos Bell ultimately ended up in your hands, can you take it out for me to see?"
"Hmm?"
Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Although he usually left the Chaos Bell collecting dust in Tian Yuan Palace, was it really something to be casually shown to outsiders?
"Please, Immortal!"
Princess Long Ji clasped her hands in front of her chest, looking at Yu Yuan with a face full of expectation, "I originally snuck off to Eastern Emperor Heaven to hunt for treasures because I heard that the Chaos Bell was a great treasure of the Ancient Demon Court, and I just wanted to see what it looked like...
Just one look, okay?
Please fulfill this small wish of mine, Immortal!"
Yu Yuan glanced at her, somewhat surprised.
Why was this princess even more familiar than he was?
She couldn't possibly think that because they had met once, their relationship was already deep, could she?
"You're still too young; the Chaos Bell is not something you can handle."
"Where am I too young?"
Princess Long Ji pouted discontentedly, looking quite playful.
Yu Yuan said nothing, only stretched out his palm horizontally in front of his chest.
Even standing straight, Princess Long Ji only reached up to his chest and abdomen.
Standing together, they looked like an adult accompanying a child.
Seeing this fact in front of her eyes, Princess Long Ji's face darkened again.
"If you don't let me see, then don't, stingy!"
She huffed and turned her head away, deliberately ignoring Yu Yuan and instead started to introduce the beauties of Heavenly Court to Wen Zhong, occasionally "humphing" whenever her gaze unintentionally met Yu Yuan's, showing her childish nature.
Yu Yuan was content to relax, enjoying the dual enhancement from the ten Profound Black Treasure Arrows and the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, while admiring the beautiful sights of the Heavenly Court around him.
The Heavenly Court now had thirty-three layers, arranged vertically from bottom to top, along with seventy-two Treasure Halls horizontally laid out, with Palace of the Polestar at the very center.
The various Heavenly Palaces were connected by rainbow bridges sprawled across the sea of clouds.
Having seen the form of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court before, he couldn't help but compare the two.
Compared to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, the current Heavenly Court could only be said to be superficial.
After all, the Heavenly Court has a total of thirty-three layers, equivalent to thirty-three Great Thousand Worlds!
During the heyday of the Demon Clan, there were hundreds of millions of Demon Gods within the Heavenly Court.
The number of Heavenly Palaces was countless!
Even above the Celestial Stars, demons were prevalent.
In the present Heavenly Court, however, many majestic and magnificent palaces stood empty, a spaciousness and coldness that could even give one a chilling feeling.
The Green Bird flew swiftly, and soon they arrived at their destination.
From afar, Yu Yuan could see a huge Immortal Pond in front of them.
Numerous pavilions and towers were scattered around the Immortal Pond, with countless Immortal Islands floating above in the mist.
The immortal islands had Divine Springs flowing, and Yao Grass and exotic flowers were everywhere, filled with dense immortal aura and breathtaking scenery.
On these immortal islands, high platforms were constructed, adorned with Jadescent Nectar, Flat Peach delicacies, and countless colorful-robed immortals fluttering from island to island, ceaselessly busy.
Arranging the venue, picking Flat Peaches, preparing wine and Immortal Brew...
Every detail had to be meticulously perfected.
Looking around, Yu Yuan was alright, but Wen Zhong's eyes were almost dazzled.
Apart from Chaoge City, he had only ever stayed on Penglai Island.
Though Penglai Island is also one of the top Cave Heaven Blessed Lands in the Primordial era, the island was primarily natural landscapes without the opulent splendor of Yaochi Palace.
Soon, they arrived on the largest and highest Floating Immortal Island.
Compared to the other Floating Immortal Islands below, this place was many times more spacious and even more secluded and elegant.
At this moment, the Peach Banquet had not yet started, and Heavenly Emperor and Golden Mother had not yet arrived, but many Immortal Gods were already seated on the immortal island.
From afar, Yu Yuan surveyed the area and saw many familiar faces.
There were disciples from Jie Sect, Golden Immortals from Chan Sect, and well-known Independent Immortals whom he had met in Eastern Emperor Heaven.
Additionally, some Immortal Gods holding Jade Tokens had also come here.
At a glance, apart from a few younger disciples with lower Dao Xing on this Immortal Path, the rest were at least of Golden Immortal Dao.
It seemed that Golden Immortal Dao was a threshold.
Only the Immortal Gods who had attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit could come to this Immortal Island; otherwise, they must stay on those Floating Immortal Islands below.
Of course, disciples from Saint Sects were not included in this.
Just like Wen Zhong, even though he had not cultivated Immortal Path, he was still a distinguished guest of the Heavenly Court.
The three of them arrived riding a Green Bird, immediately attracting the attention of all immortals present.
A middle-aged Daoist from Jie Sect disciples stood up, smiling broadly: "Our nephew Yu Yuan has arrived."
This middle-aged Daoist was wearing a Green Cloud Crown, dignified in appearance, with a plump Heavenly Court, bushy eyebrows, big eyes, rounded cheeks, a high nose and square mouth, naturally bearing the look of great wealth and prosperity.
Yu Yuan was also familiar with him.
This person was Zhao Gongming, the lead outer disciple of Jie Sect.
He was leading the team to the Peach Banquet this time.
Beside him, there were Qiu Shou Immortal, Spiritual Teeth Immortal, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, Qin Wan Heavenly Monarch, Yao Bin Heavenly Monarch, and other elite disciples of Jie Sect.
A glance revealed that there were more than a hundred Jie Sect disciples.
Most of them possessed the Dao of Golden Immortal, and to say they were full of talent was an understatement.
Yu Yuan greeted Zhao Gongming, Qiu Shou Immortal, and a few other familiar and well-regarded elder disciples, but he didn't go over to sit with them; instead, he casually found an empty seat to occupy.
As for Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and others, he completely ignored them, acting as if he hadn't seen them.
Wen Zhong quickly sat down tightly next to him.
During this time, many eyes turned towards them.
Of course, most of the immortals were primarily focused on Yu Yuan.
Those who had seen him in Eastern Emperor Heaven knew that he not only had exposed the conspiracy of Golden Crow Crown Prince but also had seized the main fragment of Chaos Bell, rightfully earning him the title of the biggest winner.
The things he had done in Eastern Emperor Heaven under the alias "Qi Zhongjun" had also been dug up.
The immortals had mixed opinions about him.
Some said he was wise and resourceful, others said he was cunning and deceitful; some praised his chivalry, while others denounced him for robbing Dao and treasures...
When the immortals discussed these matters, they inevitably also spoke of another protagonist — Yun Zhongzi.
He had arrived at Yaochi Fairyland with a group of senior brothers earlier, and was now staring intently at Yu Yuan who had just seated, debating whether or not to come up and greet him.
At that moment, as if sensing his gaze, Yu Yuan turned his head to look over.
It had been a long time since they had seen each other, but when their eyes met, there was no sense of strangeness.
Yu Yuan smiled and lifted the wine cup from the table, toasting from afar: "The hammer is very handy, thanks."
Yun Zhongzi showed a slight smile and also picked up a wine cup from the table and drank it in one gulp.
Beside him, Dao Xing Venerable snorted coldly, about to say something, but was held back by Yu Ding Real Person next to him.
With a reluctant twist of his head,
Out of sight, out of mind!
At this moment, while the Peach Banquet had not yet begun, a group of fair and beautiful immortal maidens danced elegantly on the stage, accompanied by other immortals playing lyre and zither, singing some refined songs.
Princess Long Ji had not yet left; seeing Yu Yuan intently watching those dancing immortal maidens, she leaned over and quietly said: "Their dancing is nothing special, but that Moon Palace Immortal is truly graceful!
If Immortal likes to enjoy music and dance, how about I invite that Moon Palace Immortal to perform a dance for Immortal?"
Yu Yuan smiled noncommittally: "If she can perform the dance of the Pure Land, it would indeed be worth watching."
Before he finished speaking, a Spiritual Official yelled in a high-pitched voice: "Western Sect Pharmacist Immortal, Maitreya Immortal, Mahasthamaprapta Immortal, Sunlight Immortal, Moonlight Immortal have arrived!"
Yu Yuan's heart stirred, and he immediately looked towards the direction of the voice.
Five oddly-dressed Immortal Gods arrived together.
Their hair was only about an inch long, neither tied up nor wearing crowns, and their vestment robes resembled a mix of Daoist robes and kasayas, making them stand out oddly among the many immortals dressed in Daoist robes.
It seemed that during this period, the Western Sect had not yet fully established its own etiquette and culture, merely making some slight modifications in detail.
As Yu Yuan observed them, those Western Sect disciples also looked his way, their eyes filled with indescribable surprise.
The leading mild-mannered middle-aged man scanned Yu Yuan and others, asking: "I am Pharmacist of Western Sect; may I know which Daoist friend just mentioned 'Pure Land'?"
"Ahem!"
Amid the puzzled looks from the surrounding immortals, Yu Yuan wore a strange expression.
How should he explain to these Western Sect disciples that this Pure Land is not that Pure Land?
