"So... who is qualified to attend the Peach Festival?" asked Zhui Che.
The Qingyan boy smiled and said, "Only those with great roots, great achievements, great virtues, and true cultivation of great virtues can be invited. In short, they must be people with great merits for sentient beings in the Three Realms, or they must be well-known and prominent."
Hearing this, the nine demon lords were immediately disappointed. It seemed that they had no chance to participate.
Suddenly, Xu Ying's eyes lit up and he said, "Master Hongqing has great merits and virtues. He just destroyed the Daoist demon from the Haolan Realm. He is also a well-known figure. He should have been invited to the Peach Festival, right?"
"Uh!" Qingyan boy was suddenly stunned and speechless for a long time.
After a long while, Qing Yan said vaguely: "Hmm..."
What does "hmmmm" mean? The nine demon lords were puzzled, but they soon figured it out. It must mean that Master Hongqing was also invited!
At this time, Qingyan Tongzi said to the nine demon lords, "What I just said must be kept secret, especially not to Master Hongqing."
The nine demon lords were startled. It seemed that participating in the Peach Festival was also a confidential matter. As they were new here, they naturally did not dare to neglect it and nodded in agreement.
When the group passed by the Thunder Department, bursts of thunder were heard faintly, shaking the souls of the nine demon lords.
Especially the nine demon lords felt a faint aura in the Thunder Department. That aura was filled with mighty divine power. This aura alone made it almost impossible for them to breathe.
This terrifying power is a thousand or even ten thousand times more powerful than that of the ancestor Nie Tian.
Furious Whale asked the Qingyan boy with some fear, "Excuse me, which deity lives in this Immortal Court?"
The Qingyan boy glanced at the direction the angry whale pointed and said, "This is the Divine Thunder Jade Palace, also known as the 'Thunder Department'. It's the place that governs the thunder punishments of the three realms and presides over the executions in the Heavenly Court. The 'Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable' holds authority, and the center is the Divine Sky Jade Purity Palace, where the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable resides."
At this point, Qingyan Tongzi added, "The Nine Heavens' Thunderous Origin, the Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, controls life and death, rewards and punishes good and evil, directs the clouds and rain, slays demons and monsters, and commands thunder. He illuminates the great way of the heart of heaven above and relieves the suffering of the netherworld below."
After hearing this, the nine demon lords were shocked and bowed respectfully towards the Thunder Department.
When the boy Qingyan saw what they were doing, he did not stop them but just stopped and waited for them to finish their worship.
But just after the nine demon lords finished their worship, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the Thunder Department, which frightened the nine demon lords and made them pale.
Then there was a commotion, and the nine demon lords looked up, only to see four or five strong men who were a thousand feet tall and wearing thunder armor suddenly walked out of the Thunder Department.
Led by an immortal official from the Thunder Department, these strong men were pulling out a demon fairy who was also a thousand feet tall, but had huge horns on his head, eyes like lanterns, and was spewing real fire from his mouth, using chains made of heavenly thunder.
The nine demon lords were completely unable to see through the demon fairy's cultivation. Although its cultivation had been sealed, the aura emanating from it alone was enough to terrify the nine demon lords.
"Taiyi Golden Immortal!" Gu Fan said in a low voice.
Xu Ying nodded and said, "This person's aura is comparable to that of the Black Rakshasa. He is at least a Taiyi Golden Immortal."
The nine demon lords looked solemnly at the demon fairy. The demon fairy was chained, but still struggled and shouted, "I have served the Heavenly Court! I have shed blood for the Heavenly Court! You can't do this to me! I want to see the Grand Master! I want to see the Grand Master!"
But what responded to him was the thunder whip in the hands of the immortal official from the Thunder Department. As soon as the thunder whip came down, the Taiyi Golden Immortal demon cultivator immediately cried for his parents.
The nine demon lords shuddered subconsciously at this scene, and then Xu Ying asked Qing Yan Tongzi, "Xian Tong, what happened to him?"
The boy Qingyan said knowingly, "Oh, this demon is the demon master of Lieyun Cave in the Southern Continent, named 'Huo Xu'. One hundred thousand years ago, he picked the Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit. He relied on his magic power to cause trouble in the area and robbed the passing immortals and gods. Later, he was subdued by the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Ten thousand years ago, a foreign demon invaded the Southern Continent. Although it was killed by the power of thunder in the Heavenly Court, it left behind a demon gate. This demon gate could not be eliminated for a while, so it was sealed by the Heavenly Court. The Lord appointed Huo Xu as a Heavenly General to guard the seal.
Unexpectedly, he spent his days gathering the demon women to drink and revel in his cave. His excessive drinking led to the seal of the Demon Gate being polluted by foul air and failing. After the Demon Gate lost its seal, two true demons from the outer sects passed through the Demon Gate and entered the human world. Fortunately, the duty god Zhou Deng discovered the situation and reported it to the Heavenly Court. The Grand Envoy immediately ordered the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly to reseal the Demon Gate and capture Huo Xu to be brought to Heaven for his punishment.
"Later, after investigation by Zhou Tianxingdou, it was found that a demon from the Demon Sect who had attained the Dao of Taiyi Golden Immortal had entered the Jambu World and was now hiding in the Southern Continent. There was also a demon from the True Immortal Realm who had fallen into the lower realms of heaven, and Zhou Tianxingjun was searching for him. And Huo Xu also violated the Heavenly Law by neglecting his duties and defiling the seal of Heaven. The Great Envoy ordered the Ministry of Thunder to sentence him to death, and his soul was sent to the animal realm to reincarnate for nine lifetimes." said Qingyan Tongzi.
After hearing this, the nine demon lords felt that Huo Xu deserved to die, but at the same time, they gained a further understanding of the strength of the Heavenly Court.
The fact that a true demon from the outside who had attained the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal had entered the world of Jambu was just a rather troublesome matter for the Heavenly Court. Moreover, from the tone of Qingyan Tongzi, it could be heard that the Heavenly Court did not seem to take the true demon from the outside who had attained the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal seriously at all.
What a powerful and terrifying force one must possess to be so calm and confident!
