Chapter 161 Family Dinner

As the New Year approached, a beam of five-colored mysterious light suddenly shot up from the Kongling Immortal Palace and shot straight into the sky, followed by a five-colored aurora above the palace.

However, this scene lasted for five seconds before it was forcibly taken back by a force. In the Kongling Immortal Mansion, Zhou An sat cross-legged in the middle. Hua Wu Yue, Shu Yao and others looked at the transparent spring flowing around him with surprised expressions.

This is the real Five Elements True Water, formed by the fusion of five kinds of divine water. It is the first one recorded in history. As for the ancient times, it should have existed. The name of Five Elements True Water will not appear in some records of the immortal cultivation world.

The Five Elements True Water is, on the contrary, just like ordinary spring water. It does not have the amazing effects of the divine water. This is the state of returning to nature.

After Zhou An took back the Five Elements True Water, he said happily: "Thanks to your help. If it were just me, I might not be able to complete it in a hundred years."

Shuyao smiled and said, "I have collected the skills of Tiandao Sect, Kongling Immortal Mansion, and Ling Clan for reference. Only the master can collect the top skills of these three sects in the world."

Hua Wu Yue said, "The New Year's Day is just a few days away. Shangguan Rong has urged many times that Fengguo will join Qianyuan on the New Year's Day. The emperor will need to be there in person at that time."

"Okay, then let's go see the Queen, so as not to make her and my third brother anxious."

Zhou An was in a very good mood at the moment. The Five Elements True Water he had refined had greatly increased his strength. In addition, he had been practicing dual cultivation with his concubines during this period, and his True Elements cultivation had reached 10,800 years, reaching the limit of his body's capacity again. The feeling of the arrival of the Nine Heavenly Tribulation was becoming more and more obvious.

It was already noon. Zhou An prepared a banquet in Qianyang Palace and invited all the imperial concubines and Zhou Yuan, Zhou Di, Zhou Yang, and Zhou Lingsha to come and have dinner together.

Soon they arrived at Qianyang Palace, and Shangguan Rong said, "Your Majesty, my second brother is busy rebuilding the Five-Direction Army and has gone south."

"Got it. Everyone, please sit down." Here Zhou An specifically requested that there not be so many rules and that they sit down to eat and chat like a family.

After they took their seats, Zhou Yang was the first to speak: "Old Nine, you finally came out of seclusion. The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day. Wan Xi has already settled down in Qianjing. The ceremony for Fengguo's annexation to Daqian will be held during the New Year's Day. You will be needed to make the announcement at that time, so that the people of Fengguo can be reassured."

"Don't worry, I won't forget this matter. When the time comes, I will announce your marriage. The betrothal gifts I prepare will definitely give enough face to my third brother and also make Feng Country satisfied." Zhou An said.

"Thank you very much, Laojiu. Third brother toasts you." Zhou Yang was happy. He raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

Zhou Lingsha was even happier than Zhou Yang. After finishing her glass of wine, she raised her glass again and said, "Third brother, congratulations. Let's go."

"How come you, little girl, learned those underworld ways when you were in Jinyiwei?" Zhou Yang scolded with a smile, and also raised his glass. They clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

They are probably the only royal descendants like them in the entire Kyushu Continent.

Even if the Zhou family tradition does not allow royal children to fight each other, it is impossible for them to be like ordinary families, calling each other brothers and putting aside their status to drink together.

Everyone understands that because of Zhou An's existence, he has enough power to convince his brothers and sisters, and he also gives his brothers the opportunity and trust to demonstrate their abilities, which is also the main reason why they are convinced.

Now the trust Zhou An gave them and the tolerance for brothers and sisters made the three princes convinced. They knew in their hearts that with Zhou An's current power, he would not need an excuse to get rid of anyone, and no one in the court would dare to say a word.

With such absolute power and authority, how could they not be convinced?

Shangguan Rong was originally influenced by her family education and family environment and was very eager for power. However, after two years of getting along with Zhou An, she was changed a lot. Zhou An gave her enough respect and the power she desired, and let her make her own choices in many things.

In this way, Shangguan Rong will make the most overall choice, which is much better than Zhou An taking the initiative to ask her what to do.

In addition, when there were no outsiders around, Zhou An required everyone to be like a family and to humble themselves. Over time, everyone got used to it and this atmosphere gradually formed.

As a royal family, this kind of atmosphere is absolutely unprecedented, but everyone likes it very much. The concubines don't have to think about currying favor with anyone, since everyone is the same anyway. The brothers don't have to worry that the emperor will become suspicious of them and kill them one day.

Who would dislike a day like this when we can sit together, chat, laugh and drink happily?

After three bottles of wine, Zhou Yang suddenly asked, "Old Nine, you have had several concubines, but why don't you have any children? Look at me, my child is almost an adult."

"Yes, brother, you have sex so frequently, it doesn't make sense that these concubines didn't get pregnant! Could it be that you can't?" Zhou Lingsha's sudden words made Zhou An almost spit out his wine.

Shangguan Rong, Hua Wu Yue, Zi Yan, Zi Qiong, Zi Xuan, and You Yunzhi all had embarrassed expressions.

Zhou An has been practicing the Yin-Yang sexual technique with them. The essence and energy have been absorbed by both parties for practicing. Unless they are just doing it for pleasure, it is impossible for them to get pregnant.

Zhou An looked at the concubines, then smiled and said, "At my current state, living for a few thousand years is considered short, so why rush?"

"Old Ninth, it's not us who are anxious, but the ministers below. The emperor still has no children, so people below have many speculations. You don't know that many ministers have begun to recommend to me the daughters of their families to give birth to children for the emperor." Zhou Di laughed.

“It’s true that the emperor is not anxious, but his subjects are. Our cultivation has improved so quickly, and it’s actually all the benefit brought by the dual cultivation method. That’s why we have no children. When we need them, we will naturally have them, so that they don’t have to keep an eye on the royal family’s affairs all day.

Sixth brother, if anyone comes to you to complain about this next time, just tell them that if they think the work is too idle, I can keep them so busy that they don't have time to think about these random things." Zhou An said.

Zhou Lingsha was the first to laugh, and felt that Brother Ninth’s idea was really interesting.

Shangguan Rong said: "Your Majesty, what the ministers said is actually reasonable. We should have a child. After all, the country needs a prince."

Zhou An glanced at the concubines and found that they all had the same idea. They looked at him almost at the same time. Even Hua Wu Yue had the same idea.

"I will implement the plan of creating a prince after the Battle of the Gods is over." Zhou An spread his hands. In fact, he felt that he was not mentally prepared to be a father. He had so many concubines because he loved beauties, but he never thought about passing on the family line.

After the joke, the Queen suddenly said, "Your Majesty, two days ago, the King of Ten Thousand Demons came to me and said that he could sense that the Heavenly Tribulation was about to come, and he had already begun to prepare for it. I told him that you were in seclusion, and he was very afraid of the Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

Hua Wu Yue said: "The Ten Thousand Demon King is too afraid of the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, which makes it even more difficult for him to overcome the inner demon tribulation. He trusts Zhou An very much, and he can only feel at ease when you are around."

"I'll go see him this afternoon. I happen to have a treasure to give him, which will help him in facing the Battle of the Gods in a year." Zhou An said.

Hua Wu Yue said: "The essence of the Conferred God War is to send all the cultivators in the world to their deaths. The Hidden God leader will use his methods to maintain the balance of power between the two sides and let more cultivators die in this war.

He is willing to help me this time in order to strengthen your side so that you can compete with other members of Shenyin."

Zhou Di put down his wine glass and said seriously, "In the Conferred Gods Battle, our real opponent is the leader of Shenyin. Otherwise, even if the Qianyuan Empire wins, it will be a miserable victory."

"That's right. He won't care about ordinary soldiers, but he will definitely try his best to cause heavy casualties among our monks. But to eliminate the leader of Shenyin, we have to face the other six members of Shenyin. Each member of Shenyin has a huge force behind him.

If we face these people at the same time, our chances of winning are too low, and we know too little about the leader of Shenyin." Zhou Yang said.

Hua Wu Yue continued, "Zhou An, you should also pay attention to the Underworld Marshal. This is not his name, but his position. He is the Grand Marshal of the Underworld. Behind him is the entire Underworld in the Earth Realm."

Everyone else was surprised. Shangguan Rong frowned and said, "If Marshal Ming also attacks us, we will probably suffer incalculable losses."

Zhou An frowned and said, "Wu Yue, do you know the purpose of Ming Shuai joining Shenyin?"

“He never said it, but judging from what he has done over the years, he should also want the underworld to return to the earth. However, to open the door to the underworld, you need the key of the gods, which is the Zhuxian Sword in your hand.

The Zhuxian Sword was created by the gods, specifically to deal with immortal monks. It has a strong restraining effect on immortals. Once injured by the Zhuxian Sword, even the soul cannot escape.

Therefore, whoever has the Zhuxian Sword, the Dark Marshal will definitely keep an eye on that person. However, the gate to the land is not open now, so the Dark Marshal does not dare to snatch it directly.

Oh, there is one more thing. At the beginning, the leader of Ji Tian was trained by Ming Shuai and Ling Zhu. He planned to open the gate of the earth realm in another way, but it was destroyed by you. "Hua Wu Yue got the memory of Bai Hua Fairy, so he naturally knew these things.

"What about the Underworld people?" Zhou An asked. If there is no conflict of interest between humans and the Underworld, then helping the Underworld Commander is equivalent to reducing a powerful enemy.

Hua Wu Yue saw Zhou An's thoughts and shook his head, saying, "The Hades use soul power to cultivate, and are the natural enemies of all living things. If they return to the ground, all living things will have their souls sucked away by them for cultivation after they die, and they will never be able to reincarnate again."

Zhou An frowned in thought, and everyone else was silent.

Soon the lunch was over, Zhou An stood up and said, "Let's put the matter of the Hades aside for now. I'm going to go find the King of Ten Thousand Monsters first. You guys can do whatever you want."

Everyone went back with their own thoughts.
