"This...this...Nu...Nuwa, you...you...you are Nuwa's descendant!?" The boy gasped and slapped his thigh.
"Oh dear, why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known earlier that you were a descendant of Nuwa, I wouldn't have dared to stop you even if I had a hundred lives."
"So, you blame me?" Fang Xiu said calmly.
The boy's expression immediately changed, and a fawning look, like a maggot from Kunlun Mountain, appeared on his tender face. He bowed and scraped, saying, "No, no, it was my fault for being so blind. Please don't take offense."
As he spoke, he quickly moved closer to Fang Xiu, nervously glancing around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, then took out a palm-sized peach from his pocket and handed it over.
"Honorable guest, please don't take offense at my humble status. Consider this three-thousand-year-old peach as my humble offering to you."
Fang Xiu took the peach and immediately felt the immense power contained within it. Legend has it that if a mortal eats a peach that is three thousand years old, he can immediately attain immortality. Now that he has seen it, it is indeed true. The medicinal power contained within it is enough to allow an ordinary person who has not yet awakened his spirituality to directly condense an immortal body and advance to the sixth rank.
He accepted it without hesitation and asked, "Is there any more?"
The boy's face immediately fell: "There aren't any left, really none. This last one was something I stole from the Peach Banquet when no one was looking..."
Realizing he had let something slip, he quickly corrected himself: "Honored guest, I was just joking. How could I possibly steal? These are leftovers from the last Peach Banquet."
"Hmm." Fang Xiu nodded calmly, then walked towards the Immortal Palace at the top.
The boy exclaimed in alarm, "Honored guest, I was telling the truth! I was just joking!"
"Um."
The boy became even more anxious, but dared not chase after them, since his duty was to receive guests there.
"You must be joking! Please don't tell the Queen Mother of the West!"
Fang Xiu stepped onto the sacred mountain and walked step by step toward the celestial palace at the top.
He had no choice but to impersonate Nuwa's descendant, mainly because Yama and others were not helpful. Although he possessed the power of many gods and immortals, only Nuwa's power was worthy of being recognized.
If I had used Yama's death power just now, I would have been blasted out immediately. After all, Yama himself is not qualified to participate in the Peach Banquet, let alone his disciple.
After much thought, he decided that he could only impersonate a descendant of Nuwa.
It's unrealistic to try to break in by using etherealization, because the Peach Banquet doesn't have any divine restrictions. It's just a matter of human checks. Countless boys and maids stand around the sacred mountain to welcome guests, and there are also powerful gods coming and going. Etherealization isn't the same as invisibility.
Fortunately, the title of being a descendant of Nuwa was very useful; I could enter directly without an invitation or being escorted by someone else.
Come to think of it, a being of Nuwa's caliber would have been top-tier in ancient times, someone even the Queen Mother of the West might not have been able to invite.
etc!
Fang Xiu suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the next moment, his brows furrowed.
Descendants of Nuwa... The Peach Banquet...
He suddenly recalled the ancient secrets that Yama had once told him.
Yama said that in ancient times, a descendant of Nuwa once exposed the conspiracy of the demon gods and saved the Heavenly Court during the Peach Banquet.
He then recalled how he had just impersonated a descendant of Nuwa to infiltrate the Peach Banquet...
Could it be... that I am the descendant of Nuwa from ancient times?!
It's no wonder he thought that way, because it was just too much of a coincidence.
There are no coincidences when it comes to fate!
Upon closer reflection, it all seems inevitable that it would happen.
Impersonating a descendant of Nuwa was not intentional, but rather a necessity, as there was no other way to infiltrate the Peach Banquet.
"Is this my destiny?" Fang Xiu murmured to himself, a hidden undercurrent surging in his calm eyes.
"There must be a demon god's conspiracy hidden in the Peach Banquet, waiting for me to uncover it. Everything is just as fate has arranged."
He disliked this feeling of being controlled by fate. So-called fate was nothing more than a plaything in the hands of the strong, like his wife and that other unknown being.
But he had no choice but to follow his fate.
For example, deliberately concealing the demon god's conspiracy to cause the Heavenly Court to suffer heavy losses?
The consequences of that might be that in this world, the entire land of Kyushu would cease to exist, and my wife would be laughing in her sleep.
He would never allow such a thing to happen, which means he would definitely act according to the trajectory of fate.
He guessed that this time, the one controlling fate was not his wife, but that other being.
"Fine, let me see what tricks you're up to."
Fang Xiu took a step, following the trajectory of fate, and entered the celestial palace at the top.
At the entrance to the celestial palace, seven fairies dressed in colorful gauze robes were greeting guests and counting the birthday gifts of each guest.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea presents a birthday gift to the Queen Mother of the West: a lotus flower made of pure water."
"The Barefoot Immortal presents a birthday gift to the Queen Mother of the West: a Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Ginseng."
"Venus presented the Queen Mother of the West with a birthday gift: a magical jade."
“............”
Fang Xiu watched as the mythical gods and immortals appeared vividly before his eyes, and through the introduction of the Seven Fairy Maidens, he found that each of them corresponded to a tomb in the Kunlun Mountain Tomb of the Gods and Immortals.
Seeing the coffin before the person is a rather peculiar feeling.
He walked slowly, and after a long while, he finally arrived at the entrance to the celestial palace.
He was greeted by a fairy dressed in emerald green.
