The ninth day of the ninth month in the 10,180th year of the Jiuzhou calendar.

Youzhou, Qingyun Sect, Shenxiao Palace.

Today is the 4,000th birthday of Lord Pojun, and the huge square in front of the Shenxiao Palace is already filled with guests.

The guests spontaneously divided into small groups according to region, sect, and race, chatting casually in the square, and the atmosphere was very lively and harmonious.

There are a large number of tables and chairs in the side hall to entertain distinguished guests from all sides.

A distinguished guest like Daohong Daozun was accompanied personally by Qinniang and Yun Qingxuan, and Zhizhen, Wuji and Huikong were also present.

Qi Niang is now the ruler of Fengzhou, but her relationship with Qingyun Sect is too close. And since it is a birthday banquet for a great sage, she is the host and naturally takes the lead in entertaining guests.

Daohong Daozun has actually already advanced to the seventh level, becoming a seventh-level Heavenly Monarch. He is also the only powerful one among the nine sect leaders to have advanced to the seventh level.

This person has accumulated a lot of experience and can still break through the limitations and advance to the seventh level in an environment with turbulent spiritual energy. This also proves the power of this person who was once the strongest person in Jiuzhou.

More importantly, Daohong was very kind to Gaoxian, and Gaoxian admired this man of character. No matter when, Daohong was always a respected elder in his eyes.

There were too many people coming today and too many things to do, so Gao Xian could only ask Qiniang, Yun Qingxuan and Yue Shenxiu to entertain Daohong and other seniors on his behalf.

Qi Niang has already advanced to the seventh rank, and is no less capable than Dao Hong in terms of cultivation. She has led the Great Freedom Sect for many years, and her bearing and pattern have long been at the top of the world.

She came forward to greet Daohong and other seniors, which was enough to express her sincerity.

While everyone was chatting, Huikong suddenly asked, "I heard that the Lord of Gods killed the Heavenly King Shen Zhengwu and the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Demons Dao Wuji in the Northern Wilderness. Is this true?"

All of the people present were the Nine Continents' sect masters, and the only people with whom they had the most distant relationship were Huikong and Gaoxian. This was also because of the Nanhai Buddhist sect.

After the death of Red Sun Lord, the Nanhai Buddhist Sect was completely destroyed, and the Dragon Elephant Palace headed by Huikong was in a bit of an awkward position in Jiuzhou.

Fortunately, Gao Xian remembered their old friendship, and on the other hand, for Rudian's sake, he remained as polite to Longxiang Palace and Huikong as ever.

A few days ago, the Northern Wilderness War caused a violent shock to the world. Although the Dragon Elephant Palace was within the Nine Continents, it was also affected.

Although Huikong didn't know what happened, he knew that something big must have happened. Then he heard that Gao Xian was fighting against the King of Heaven and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons in the Northern Wilderness.

This matter concerns the survival of two ninth-rank masters, so it is a matter of great importance. Huikong must take the opportunity to get to the bottom of it.

Zhu Qiniang nodded slightly: "It is true that the sect master killed Shen Zhengwu and Dao Wuji, and also destroyed many of the two clans' heavenly ranks. For the next thousand years, the two clans have posed no threat to our Jiuzhou..."

Zhu Qinnan didn't have a good impression of Huikong. To her, anyone who had not firmly supported Gao Xian in the past was not a good person.

It’s just that Gao Xian was very polite to Hui Kong, so she wouldn’t be rude.

The killing of Shen Zhengwu and Dao Wuji was also a big deal. Although the news had spread long ago, Gao Xian did not respond publicly. He was about to announce this big event to the world during the birthday banquet.

This move can also calm the restless minds of some cultivators and maintain the stability and order of Jiuzhou.

Everyone present had a look of astonishment on their faces. To them, a ninth-rank Dao Ancestor was an existence they could not even see by looking up.

But now, Gao Xian killed two ninth-level masters in one battle, which shows how powerful Gao Xian is!

Everyone was very familiar with Gao Xian. When they first met him, he was only a fifth-rank cultivator. In just a few thousand years, Gao Xian had become so powerful that it was beyond their imagination.

The more familiar you get with Gao Xian, the more incredible it seems to you.

For a moment, Daohong Daozun and others were silent. Even Zhizhen was surprised. She and Gaoxian were in frequent contact, but she didn't know about this major event.

Just as Zhu Qinnan was about to tell some inside details, someone came over and reported that Taoist Master Xuanyang had arrived.

Although Daoist Master Xuanyang has never been able to advance to the seventh level, he has played an extremely crucial role in Gao Xian's growth and has always been extremely close to Gao Xian.

Daohong Daozun is the elder, so Xuanyang can be regarded as a close teacher.

Zhu Qinnan had also been in Xuanming Sect for many years and had great respect for Taoist Xuanyang. When she received the summons, she apologized and went to pick up Taoist Xuanyang in person.

The teleportation array glowed with light, and Taoist Xuanyang appeared out of nowhere with dozens of his disciples.

When the spiritual light faded away, Zhu Qinnan immediately went forward with a group of followers.

Taoist Xuanyang was wearing a yellow robe, his face was full of wrinkles. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth changed, he also changed his secret method and restored his old appearance.

Fortunately, his eyes were bright and lively, with a relaxed and kind smile on his face. He looked quite immortal, a complete change from his previous cynical attitude.

Zhu Qiniang greeted him respectfully, and Taoist Xuanyang returned the greeting with a serious look. In front of Gao Xian, he could still act arrogant and old, but in front of Zhu Qiniang, he was embarrassed to do so.

Although this woman was supported by a great sage, her wisdom and ability were extraordinary. Especially in this situation, she was promoted to the seventh level, which made the old Taoist Xuanyang feel ashamed.

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency. Gao Xian is really busy and cannot get away. I have to go to greet you on his behalf..." Zhu Qinnan said apologetically.

"Hey, there's no need to be so formal about our relationship. Gao Xian just needs to mind his own business."

Taoist Xuan Yang waved his hand and said to the many disciples behind him, "Why don't you come over and greet Zhu Tianjun."

Many disciples hurriedly saluted, including Taining and Qingle, who also saluted formally at this time.

Zhu Qiniang smiled and took Taining's hand, and then held Qingle up with her own hands, "We are all family, why should we be so formal."

Tai Ning Mingyan smiled brightly. She used to be very jealous of Qi Niang, but she barely achieved the Pure Yang Dao in recent years. Gao Xian also gave her the seventh-level Creation Golden Talisman Seed, but she couldn't even touch the edge of the seventh level.

She also knew that she was not qualified to fight with Zhu Qinniang, so she was more fawning and ingratiating towards Qinniang.

Qingle calmly replied: "I am ashamed to accept your kindness."

Zhu Qiniang smiled at Qingle and didn't say anything more. In fact, she admired Qingle very much. Among Gao Xian's many girlfriends, only this one took the initiative to leave Gao Xian.

Moreover, he never got close to Gao Xian again, and even rejected all the cultivation resources Gao Xian sent him.

Qingle did indeed work hard, and through his own efforts, he achieved the sixth level of Pure Yang. Of course, Xuanyang also took care of him.

This was not simply because of Gao Xian, but more because Xuan Yang wanted to train his own disciples.

From this, it can be seen that Qingle is not only tough, but also has enough wisdom and talent. This is a female cultivator who is very worthy of respect.

Next, Zhu Qinnan led the Taoist Xuanyang into the side hall, and only Taining followed.

Although Qingle was already a sixth-level pure Yang, she refused Qi Niang's invitation. Xuanming Sect only had one leader, and there was no point in her following him into the side hall, mainly because she didn't want to face the scrutiny of other leaders.

Qingle took his direct disciple Yizhen to stroll in the square and explained to his disciple the origins of the cultivators from all sides.

There were not only cultivators from Jiuzhou in the square, but also some demon cultivators and monsters. All of them had close ties with Jiuzhou and were therefore eligible to attend the birthday banquet.

Demon cultivators and monsters are forbidden to pass through Jiuzhou. Although Yizhen was born in Xuanming Sect, he had never seen so many high-level demon cultivators and monsters. He was amazed and felt that a pair of eyes were not enough.

Yizhen noticed that many high-level cultivators knew her master. Some of the male cultivators were very respectful and polite when greeting her master, yet there was also an indescribable sense of distance.

Yizhen was very curious. Her master was bright and beautiful, and full of heroic spirit. She was definitely the best female cultivator in the world. Did these male cultivators have no illusions? Could it be that they were in awe of her master's high level of cultivation?

But it doesn’t look like it!

From her point of view, there were actually quite a few sixth-level Pure Yang practitioners in the square, as many as dozens. Most of these Pure Yang practitioners who came from all over the world were human, and some of them were handsome and dignified.

Zhu Tianjun's attitude towards her master just now was also quite unusual, but no one knew why.

Yizhen and Qingle were close, and she was straightforward and generous, so she had no reservations when talking to her master. But she couldn't ask too much about such private matters, no matter how curious she was.

After walking around the square, Yizhen couldn't help but look towards the Shenxiao Hall. The door of the hall was open, but the interior was spacious and blocked by high steps, so she couldn't see anything.

Yizhen asked Qingle in a low voice: "Master, today is the birthday banquet for the God, can I see the God?"

Qingle glanced at the Shenxiao Palace with a complicated look in her eyes. She shook her head slightly: "How would I know that?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Today all the heroes in the world are gathered here, so Lord Gao will come out and say a few words to you heroes..." A woman suddenly interrupted. Yizhen looked over and saw that she had a pretty face and was wearing an apricot-yellow robe. Her voice was sweet and soft, and her eyes were flowing like spring water when she spoke. She looked very bright and moving.

Yizhen bowed his head curiously and asked, "Xuanming Sect Yizhen, I wonder who your friend is?"

The pretty woman in yellow ignored Yizhen. She smiled at Qingle and said, "I have heard of your great name for a long time. I see you today and you are indeed very graceful. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Qingle returned the greeting with some doubt: "Thank you for the compliment. May I know what to call you, friend?"

"Xi Haiyuan Tianying."

The pretty woman in yellow smiled and waved her hand, "Daoyou, we'll see each other again if we're lucky."

Qingle's eyes flickered, and she remembered that Yuan Tianying was the leader of the West Sea Demon Sect, an eighth-rank Heavenly Venerable. He actually came to attend Gao Xian's birthday banquet! The reason why an eighth-rank Heavenly Venerable came to talk to her was not because of her high cultivation level, but because of Gao Xian's face.

Qingle felt a little complicated. She was very happy for Gao Xian's achievements, but she had no intention of getting back together with him.

There were too many people around Gao Xian, and she felt uncomfortable. It was also good to walk alone on this path of cultivation.

As soon as Yuan Tianying left, Yizhen looked at Qingle with wide eyes, "Master, is there still a sect in the West Sea?"

Qingle was a little amused: "In such a vast West Sea, there must be sects. That person is a cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and he is also a powerful senior. You should be more polite when you meet him next time."

Yizhen was even more curious. There were many people in the Heavenly Demon Sect, so who was this Yuan Tianying? Before she could ask again, another woman in yellow came over. This woman had a beautiful face, and her yellow clothes were flowing. There was a kind of shiny and precious light between her skin. She looked as elegant and unrestrained as a man.

The woman in yellow smiled at Qingle and said, "Are you Taoist Qingle from Xuanming Sect?"

Qingle nodded in response, and then she asked, "Who is your friend?"

"The overseas practitioner, the Eastern Medicine Master."

The woman in yellow looked Qingle up and down as she spoke. She nodded and shook her head, but no one knew what she meant.

Qingle frowned slightly: "Daoyou, do you have something to ask me?"

Dongfang Pharmacist apologized and said, "I have heard of your great name for a long time, so I came to visit you and make your acquaintance."

She turned her gaze to Yizhen beside her, "Is this your disciple?"

"It is exactly the bad disciple." Qingle said.

Yizhen is her personal disciple, and she is only 37 years old this year, but she has already achieved Nascent Soul. The spiritual energy of the world is turbulent now, and Yizhen has been able to advance to the fourth level at this age. His future is limitless.

Qingle also valued this disciple very much. Seeing Dongfang Pharmacist asking about it, she became more cautious.

But she trusted Gao Xian very much, and felt that no one in Qingyun Sect would dare to mess around, so she was not too nervous.

The Eastern Medicine Master took out a small jade bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Yizhen and said, "This is our first meeting, so I'll give you a small gift. Don't be polite, fellow Taoist."

Yizhen held the jade bottle and looked at Qingle hesitantly. She knew that this gift was not for her, and whether to accept it or not depended on her master's opinion.

Qingle felt puzzled. She could not see through Dongfang Pharmacist's depth, but she knew that his cultivation must be far superior to hers. This gift must be for Gao Xian.

Just as she was about to refuse, the Eastern Pharmacist nodded slightly, and the next moment he disappeared without a trace.

"Master, who is this?" Yizhen held the jade bottle in a daze. She didn't know what was in the bottle, but with the intuition of a cultivator, she knew it must be a very precious divine object.

"Take it first, I'll find someone to return it later." Qingle knew that this gift must be precious, so she naturally couldn't accept it.

But she couldn't find anyone in such a hurry, so she could only return it to Gao Xian. No matter what, she couldn't accept this favor on behalf of Gao Xian...

The sound of jade chimes rang out slowly, and many Qingyun practitioners lined up in an orderly manner in front of the hall. Gao Xian, wearing Qingyun fairy clothes, a fishtail crown on his head, and a long sword on his waist, came to the high platform.

Seeing Lord Pojun appear, all the guests in the square fell silent, staring at this peerless strong man with wide eyes.

One of them, Yizhen, watched particularly attentively. She knew that Lord Pojun had practiced in Xuanming Sect and had also seen the water shadow illusion, but this was the first time she saw him in person.

Compared to the water shadow illusion, Gao Xian today was wearing the Qingyun Sect's traditional formal robe instead of his signature white robe. He looked less elegant and graceful, but more solemn and sacred.

Yizhen felt that it was more majestic than the God King enshrined in the Ancestral Hall, and more awe-inspiring than the God Pojun in her imagination!

Gao Xian naturally didn't pay attention to Yizhen, a young cultivator. He first expressed his gratitude to all the guests, and then talked about his vision for the future of Jiuzhou and the world, hoping that all cultivators could unite as one, etc...

When it comes to the people of the world and the overall future situation, the words are somewhat empty, which is unavoidable.

Gao Xian quickly turned the topic to specific content. He first announced the deaths of three ninth-level powerhouses, Shen Zhengwu, Dao Wuji, and Huang Quan, and then talked about the crimes of these three, such as stubbornness, arrogance, and poisoning all living beings.

Upon hearing the news of the death of these three ninth-level masters, many guests present were shocked.

Then, Gao Xian invited Dongfang Yaoshi, Wanshou, and Luohou, three ninth-level masters, to announce that the six realms of sentient beings would unite with the human race of Jiuzhou and share honor and disgrace from now on...

The appearance of the three ninth-level masters, Dongfang Yaoshi, Wanshou, and Luohou, also shocked all the guests.

Even with the restrictions of the Nine Continents Law Domain, the power of a ninth-order expert is far beyond that of all cultivators. A slight release of his aura is enough to shock all cultivators.

When Yizhen saw Dongfang Pharmacist, her jaw dropped in shock. This wasn't the woman who had insisted on giving her a gift just now! This was a ninth-rank expert! Yizhen felt dizzy, and her mind had turned into a mess... (End of this chapter)
