Chapter 566: Chapter 393: Return service to the plum with a peach!_2

“Saving Primordial… Primordial… Could it really be saved?” Earth Queen Lady couldn’t quite believe it.

“It can be saved!”

A voice suddenly appeared, startling the deep-in-thought Earth Queen Lady, who exclaimed, “Ah… who?”

“Elder Houtu, it’s been a while. I hope you’ve been well!”

Xuanqing wore a smile, bowing his hands towards the Earth Queen Lady.

The reason for addressing her as ‘Elder’ rather than ‘Her Highness’ as before was naturally due to the status of a Chaos Immortal.

If he forced himself to address her as ‘Her Highness’ just to show off his own moral character, it would only cause her to not bear the status and lead to adverse consequences.

“Xuanqing… Daoist Friend?”

Joy was evident in the Earth Queen Lady’s expression; she had never expected Xuanqing to visit her in this Netherworld.

“Has Primordial truly been saved… Oh yes, may I know what does the Master of the Primordial Beginning seek in my Netherworld?”

“Seven of the ten great devils have already departed, and as for the matter of the origin of Primordial ebbing away, Xuan has a solution for it,” Xuanqing explained with a smile.

He had a very favorable impression of Earth Queen Lady in his heart; he had never forgotten the Chaotic Treasure she once gave him.

As for why he came to the Netherworld, it was not just to explain that Primordial had been saved but also to invite her to the Taichu Dojo to attend the celebration banquet.

“Elder Houtu, with the six saints of Primordial converging at Black Wind, and as you are the master of the Earthly Path, Xuan naturally had to come personally to extend an invitation.”

Xuanqing bowed his hands again.

Upon hearing this,

The Earth Queen Lady’s eyes lit up, and then dimmed as she somberly explained, “This… I fear I must decline your kind offer.”

“Ever since I merged with the Earthly Path, according to the rules of Heavenly Dao, I can never leave the Netherworld, even if before… it was merely incarnations.”

“Alas!” The Earth Queen Lady let out a long sigh.

Spending her days in the gloomy Netherworld, how she also wished to visit the Human World, to experience the cold of the Tai Yin star and the warmth of the Sun Star.

But alas!

“Hehe~”

Xuanqing chuckled softly, then explained, “Elder Houtu need not worry so; the six saints have reported to Realm Master Hong Jun, and the Heavenly Path has issued a special pardon, allowing Her Highness to go to Black Wind to attend the banquet.”

With these words spoken.

“Wow…” The Earth Queen Lady’s eyes shimmered with crystalline light, her heart thrilling with joy.

She didn’t doubt these words at all; after all, if the six saints truly spoke to the Heavenly Path, as long as it wasn’t endangering the world, mere Heavenly Dao rules… were not important.

“Thank you!” The Earth Queen Lady smiled faintly.

“You’re welcome.”

Xuanqing smiled and waved his hand.

Afterward.

His figure disappeared into the Netherworld.

….

Next.

Xuanqing personally visited several places, Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang View, the Star Lord Mansion of Heavenly Court, the Headquarter of the Heavenly River Navy…

In the end, Xuanqing went to the Douluo Palace and found his former mentor, Old Lord Taishang. After a long conversation, Xuanqing expressed that although his cultivation had eliminated the ties of sect affiliation, he would never forget his past experiences.

All in all!

Xuanqing nearly visited all those who had shown him kindness in the past, personally inviting them to attend the banquet at Black Wind Mountain.

Although the six saints had returned and these dignitaries had gone to pay their respects, the reason he hadn’t spoken up right then was because he felt it would put undue pressure on these benefactors.

For example.

If you truly consider someone a good friend and you’ve succeeded outside, and then when your friend pays respects to a VIP, if you invite the VIP, it can put a lot of pressure on them.

Therefore.

When the six saints appeared in Primordial and the bigwigs of the Three Realms came to pay tribute, he, the great hero of Primordial, didn’t even show his face for fear of pressuring these people from his past.

….

…

Five Years later.

A banquet that shook the Three Realms was held in the Taichu Dojo at Black Wind Sacred Mountain.

According to incomplete statistics, anyone with any prominence in the Three Realms attended the event.

The highest in status were naturally the six saints of Primordial and the Earth Queen Lady of the Earthly Path, followed by Emperor Haotian, Tathagata Buddha… and so on.

“Today, we hold this banquet in the Land of Black Wind to celebrate Primordial overcoming a cataclysmic disaster, and from now on… our world shall exist in perpetuity!”

Xuanqing rose from the main seat, holding up a Golden Cup filled with an upgraded version of Drunk Golden Immortal… Drunken Da Luo.

As his voice fell,

The six saints sitting beside Xuanqing all stood up together, subtly conveying the feeling that they regarded Xuanqing as their big brother.

“I, Taiqing, on behalf of the Human Teachings, am grateful for the salvation grace of Daoist Friend Xuanqing!”

“I, Tongtian, on behalf of the Intercepting Teachings, am grateful for the salvation grace of Daoist Friend Xuanqing!”

“I, Lingbao, on behalf of the Expounding Teachings, am grateful for the salvation grace of Daoist Friend Xuanqing!”

“I, Nuwa, representing all of the Devil Race, am grateful….”

“I, Zhunti/Jieyin, representing the Western Religion, am grateful….”

“I….”

….

With the opening words of the six saints, the entire banquet was driven to an absolute climax.

After the six saints had finished speaking, all the creatures who had come to join the banquet stood up, their expressions filled with utmost reverence as they looked toward Xuanqing, who sat at the main seat.

“We the myriad creatures are grateful to the Master of the Primordial Beginning…..”

Seeing this scene,

Xuanqing felt somewhat moved in his heart.

Regardless of the origins of these creatures, the gratitude they felt at that time was definitely heartfelt.

Because… he could already feel the dense incense belief arising, these creatures had actually started to hold faith incense fire towards him.

It is worth mentioning that,

the higher the cultivation of an individual, the more incense belief they can generate, but correspondingly… the higher the cultivation, the harder it is to generate faith.

From this, it can be known that these creatures were genuinely grateful to him, Xuanqing.

“Good, I, Xuanqing of the Taichu Dao Court, am willing to join you all in building a better Primordial World….”

…

…..

The banquet continued for another Five Years.

Finally,

there is no feast that doesn’t come to an end; everyone from the Three Realms had their fill of both food and drink. Some creatures with old grudges seized the opportunity to turn their hostilities into friendships during the banquet.

After it ended,

the six Great Sages, including the Two Sages of the West, promised Xuanqing that they would allow him to replicate all the magical treasures they held in their hands.

Regarding this,

of course, Xuanqing graciously thanked them.

He planned to go to the endless chaos in the Real World after, and once he went there, he would start with nothing.

If he could replicate the magical treasures of the six sages of Primordial Chaos into the Game Mall, it would undoubtedly add to his foundation.

“Elder Zhenyuan, please take your time… Here is an Ancient God Pill, consuming it will strengthen your bloodline, take it with you…”

At the foot of Black Wind Mountain,

Xuanqing escorted Great Immortal Zhenyuan here and took out a green sphere wrapped around a fake second-tier Ancient Archon’s origin from his bosom.

This object was created using a leaf from the Swallowing Sky Tree as a tool, which wrapped around the fake second-tier Ancient Archon’s origin.

As a result,

the fake second-tier Ancient Archon’s origin inside would gradually release the Ancient Archon’s power over time, allowing one’s physical body and God Soul to slowly strengthen.

This… was the ‘Ancient God Pill’ that Xuanqing had created himself.

At this moment,

facing the Elixir passed over by Xuanqing, Great Immortal Zhenyuan hesitated but eventually accepted the Elixir, saying,

“Thank you, Daoist Friend Xuanqing… however, from now on, you may simply call me Zhenyuan.”

After saying this,

Great Immortal Zhenyuan glanced one more time at the six saintly lights atop the mountain. Though he considered himself the Ancestor of the Earth Immortals, he did not dare to regard himself as an equal to the Sages, let alone allow Xuanqing to continue to address him as Senior.

Hearing this,

Xuanqing was silent for a moment before seemingly coming to an understanding, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Very well, Daoist Friend Zhenyuan!”

Lastly, he added, “Daoist Friend Zhenyuan, please do make good use of this pill often. When the day comes that you attain the body of an Ancient Archon, I, Xuanqing, will take you to explore even vaster worlds.”

As the saying goes, “A plum for a peach”—a favour returned for a kindness received.

How Great Immortal Zhenyuan had treated him in the past was something Xuanqing hadn’t forgotten in the slightest. He most certainly wasn’t the kind to play the faithless using the ploy of the divine power that enwraps one’s mother.

A cultivator’s… lifelong wish is to see higher scenery.

Therefore,

Xuanqing allowed those who had shown him kindness to stand on his shoulders and join him in gazing upon more distant views!
