“Master!”
Lu Xuan smiled, looking at Ji Fuyao. He had to admit, his eldest disciple was undeniably beautiful, a rare gem in this world. Chen Changsheng once mentioned that Xuanji Holy Lord Bai Li, from the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, was hailed as the “Ancient Era’s Number One Beauty.” Lu Xuan idly wondered, which of them was truly more beautiful?
Moments later, Ye Chen and Chen Changsheng emerged from their rooms, their eyes reflecting the starry sky as they gazed at Ji Fuyao.
Ye Chen, a hint of excitement in his voice, called out, “Senior Sister!”
Ji Fuyao offered a graceful smile, her snow-white neck delicately tilted, pristine and tender. Her chest, full and firm, elegantly supported the fiery red dress, while her slender waist seemed too delicate to grasp. Her jade-like legs, soft as snow, swayed gently, as if she had stepped straight out of a painting. Yet, today, Ji Fuyao carried an air of cold aloofness, a frosty aura that made her seem ethereal, untouched by the mortal world.
Chen Changsheng gave his usual honest smile. “Senior Sister, greetings!”
Ji Fuyao nodded subtly, then stepped onto the Ancient Altar, which immediately erupted with Radiant Divine Light.
Not long after.
“Boom!”
The void tore open! Space twisted violently!
From within the spatial rift, a Black and White Dao Palace suddenly materialized, expanding before everyone’s eyes. Divine light surged across the sky, and the Black and White Dao Palace, colossal as a towering mountain, continuously floated above the void.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the Sect Master stood high above, gazing at Ji Fuyao and the others. Tianyuan Old Ancestor’s eyes shone with satisfaction as he chuckled, “Fuyao, we’ve arrived!”
Behind Tianyuan Old Ancestor, Liu Xuan, Luo Lingkong, and Fang Yan slowly emerged, waving towards Ji Fuyao. “Junior Sister Fuyao!”
Ji Fuyao bowed slightly, offering a faint smile to Tianyuan Old Ancestor and the others. “Old Ancestor, Sect Master, Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, thank you all.”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor and his group descended, and Wang Man and Qing Yan quickly stepped forward to greet them.
Soon, the void tore open once more!
“Boom!”
Several primordial giant beasts, each like a small mountain, traversed the void, clearing the way with an imposing aura. Radiant Divine Light surged from their bodies, their massive hooves shaking the very fabric of space as they pulled several incredibly tall Chariots. Though called Chariots, they were as vast as palaces!
For a moment, the heavens shifted, and from within one of the Chariots, Jiujun Old Ancestor of Cangmu Academy slowly emerged, stroking his beard with a hearty laugh. “Fellow Daoist Tianyuan, still well, I trust!”
Behind Jiujun Old Ancestor, numerous geniuses from the academy looked down, smiling.
Elder Cang Li had also arrived, his shifty eyes scanning everywhere, quickly locking onto Ye Chen before soaring towards him.
“Little Friend Ye Chen, I have arrived!”
Ye Chen’s face twitched. This Elder Cang Li, despite their limited acquaintance, was overly enthusiastic.
Tianyuan Old Ancestor laughed heartily. “Fellow Daoist Jiujun, quickly, take a seat!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Space twisted, the void continuously vibrated.
The Ancient Yao Family, Ancient Wang Family, and other Human Overlord-level Powers descended. However, their Nine-star Great Emperor Old Ancestors did not come personally.
The Supreme Profound Sect dispatched Yuan Qingzi and others. “Old Ancestor Nanchenzi is unwell today, so I have come to offer congratulations.”
Many Old Ancestors smiled and inquired about the Bronze Token from Tianyuan Old Ancestor.
Elder Cang Li immediately pulled Ye Chen away, eager to delve into alchemy discussions.
Soon, numerous Spirit Boats appeared in the void, carrying major Human Factions from various states!
“The Joyful Harmony Sect from Fangzhou arrives, presenting gifts to Empress Fuyao!”
“The Yunzhou Chen Family arrives, for Empress Fuyao…”
“The Baizhou Luo Family arrives…”
In an instant, Blackflame Mountain Range was filled with surging power, overflowing with people.
The Yao Family Old Ancestor sniffed the air, then looked at Tianyuan Old Ancestor. “I smell the scent of a Great Demon corpse. What is this?”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor chuckled. “This is the flesh of a Red Serpent Race Nine-star Great Emperor, hunted by Fellow Daoist White Robe, used to entertain us today.”
Jiujun Old Ancestor, Yuan Qingzi, and the others burst into laughter. “Good! Good! Good!” To be able to eat the flesh of a Nine-star Great Demon was truly a worthwhile trip! They wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a fortune!
The Yao Family Old Ancestor waved his sleeve, revealing several ancient Great Medicines in his hand. He looked at Tianyuan Old Ancestor. “Fellow Daoist Tianyuan, these few Ancient Great Medicines can be added to the Smelting Furnace. The meat will be even more delicious, and the Dao Rhyme and Blood Essence won’t be lost!”
Yuan Qingzi also took out several Emperor-tier Great Medicines, smiling. “I also have a few Great Medicines here. Add them to the Red Serpent meat, and the effect will be greatly enhanced when consumed!”
Tianyuan Old Ancestor accepted them, handing them over to Wang Man and the others.
Soon, as several rare Great Medicines fell into the Smelting Furnace, the Red Serpent meat emitted Radiant Divine Light, and Dao Rhyme continuously flowed, like a galaxy cascading down. The delicious aroma permeated the surroundings. A faint Nine-star Emperor Realm pressure emanated from the Smelting Furnace.
Wang Man laughed, announcing, “Everyone participating in this grand event will get to eat the Red Serpent Nine-star Great Emperor’s meat!”
The other major powers attending the grand event were stunned! This trip was truly not in vain! What an incredible opportunity to eat the corpse of a Nine-star Great Demon! They wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a thing! And with so many High-star Great Emperors from Overlord-level Powers present, what if the Demon Race came? The sky would fall on the tall ones anyway… Everyone became incredibly excited!
Two hours later.
The Auspicious Time had arrived!
The giant sun rose, casting ten thousand rays of light. The Fuyao Dynasty’s Emperor Palace flowed with Radiant Divine Light, like a shining pearl rising from the earth.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
In Blackflame Mountain Range, brilliant light illuminated the void. Countless Auspicious Spirit Beasts soared through the sky, emitting joyful calls. The entire world was filled with steaming clouds and shimmering light, an atmosphere of universal celebration.
Ji Fuyao slowly emerged from the Emperor Palace, wearing a Phoenix Crown, her fiery red dress like a River of Spirit Fire. A faint Quasi-Emperor Might emanated from her, as she walked step by step towards the Ancient Altar. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her elegance unparalleled, stunning everyone present. She was simply a perfectly flawless woman!
Ji Fuyao’s starry eyes twinkled, a smile on her face. Her slender jade hands gracefully bowed to the assembled factions, saying with a soft smile, “Thank you all for gracing my Fuyao Dynasty and witnessing my Dynasty’s Founding Ceremony!”
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
Ji Fuyao looked at Lu Xuan, her voice gentle. “First, I thank Master Lu Xuan, my two Junior Brothers Ye Chen and Chen Changsheng, then the Grand Dao Sect Old Ancestors, and the Sect Master…”
As her voice fell,
Jiujun Old Ancestor waved his sleeve, and a Storage Ring floated out. “My Cangmu Academy presents three High-star Emperor Weapons, three Top-grade Spirit Veins, and numerous High-tier Spirit Herbs!”
“My Supreme Profound Sect presents two High-star Emperor Weapons, three Emperor-tier Spirit Herbs, and one Top-grade Spirit Vein!”
“My Ancient Yao Family presents…”
Old Ancestors continuously presented grand gifts, an endless stream! Everyone was astonished. These Overlord-level Powers truly acted with immense generosity! The Fuyao Dynasty would receive countless supreme treasures this time, instantly gaining a massive amount of cultivation resources.
Ji Fuyao gently nodded in thanks. She knew that these factions were showing respect to her Master, and to the Grand Dao Sect.
Wang Man and Qing Yan were grinning from ear to ear. The harvest this time was truly immense, far exceeding their expectations!
Yuan Qingzi asked, “Ji Fuyao, has your Master, Senior White Robe, not arrived?”
Ji Fuyao smiled. “My Master is right here.”
Jiujun Old Ancestor scanned with his Divine Sense for a long time, finding nothing. He shook his head. “It seems Fellow Daoist White Robe is as mysterious as ever!”
One hour later.
All Founding Ceremony rituals were complete! Finally, it was time for the much-anticipated segment! Eating the Nine-star Emperor-tier Red Serpent meat!
Soon, the Imperial Dragon Guards orderly brought up the Red Serpent meat. The aroma wafted, Dao Rhyme flowed. Just a single whiff was equivalent to several days of arduous cultivation! Everyone’s eyes were shining!
Each portion of Red Serpent meat melted in their mouths, accompanied by the rich fragrance of over ten Emperor-tier Great Medicines. Everyone praised it endlessly, immediately sitting cross-legged to absorb and transform the ‘Dao and Essence.’ This was truly a rare and invaluable opportunity.
Lu Xuan scanned the surroundings. Everyone was immersed in comprehending the Dao Rhyme of the Red Serpent meat. Mysterious Qi Mechanisms flowed outwards. “Not bad, not bad!” Lu Xuan commented casually.
Ji Fuyao came to Lu Xuan’s side and sat down with utmost grace, drinking together with him. “Thank you, Master.”
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. Today, Ji Fuyao appeared elegant and aloof, otherworldly and independent, as if she didn’t belong to the mortal world. But in front of Lu Xuan, she was still the disciple from Azure Mystery Peak.
After a few cups of Spirit Wine, Ji Fuyao’s face was flushed, looking like a delicate, dewy flower. “Master, are those Demon Race people still coming?”
Lu Xuan smiled faintly. “No worries. If they come, we’ll just add more dishes!”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of miles away, deep in the void.
The Red Serpent Old Ancestor was leading many Demon Race members Traversing the Void, their terrifying and immense Great Demon Auras surging like overwhelming tides pouring outwards.
The Giant Ram Race Old Ancestor held his Ancient Iron Hammer, continuously patting it in his palm, his Battle Intent already soaring. “I want to see what this White Robe Great Emperor is capable of!”
The Demonic Spider Woman’s eyes gleamed, a wicked, charming smile on her lips. “This time, everyone who appears in Blackflame Mountain Range will become my nutrients!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The void continuously tore open!
Wherever they passed, Human Cultivators were utterly shocked. “These are the powerhouses of the Demon Hall! They’re going to Blackflame Mountain Range!”
Several Nine-star Emperor Realm Demon Race Great Emperors! They came with ill intentions!
The Red Serpent Old Ancestor scanned with his Divine Sense, seeing the Blackflame Mountain Range direction filled with surging divine light, like a star falling to earth, endless Formation Patterns rising, dazzling and brilliant.
Soon, the Giant Ram Race Old Ancestor suddenly sniffed. “What are these damned Human Race people eating? Why does it smell so good?”
Hearing this, the Red Serpent Old Ancestor’s face suddenly turned extremely ugly, ferocious with rage. “That’s the flesh of another Old Ancestor of my Red Serpent Race!”
Many Great Demons were stunned. The Red Serpent Old Ancestor had said before he came that he wanted to reclaim that Nine-star Emperor Realm body! How did it end up as food for the Human Race now?
The Red Serpent Old Ancestor roared in fury, “Damn White Robe Great Emperor! Damn Human Race! You all must die!”
