Chapter 527: Chapter 82 Imperial Robe_2
Chi Yu Zi saw the Nine Transition Golden Core stewed pork trotters and imdiately served a bowl to Gu Wen.
Although he kept saying it wasn’t worth it, he still liked eating it very much.
At the banquet of great powers, there wasn’t much conversation, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.
Jade Sword Buddha was naturally aloof, Lu Chan was sowhat reserved upon seeing Immortals, Qi Xiao didn’t dare to speak, Huayang was stern and serious, while Yun Miao smiled knowingly at those who looked awkward.
The biggest action Chi Yu Zi made was to keep eating and serving tasty dishes to Gu Wen.
Gu Wen, on the other hand, waited for Chi Yu Zi to feed and test for poison. Their tastes were similar, so what she disliked, she probably wouldn’t eat either.
The atmosphere grew colder, and everyone could only bury their heads in eating.
Li Yunshang had never hosted a banquet and didn’t know how to liven up the atmosphere as the host. Seeing Gu Wen being fed by Chi Yu Zi, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
“How about I draft a marriage contract for the two of you?”
All eyes instantly focused on the two overly close Venerables, filled with ambiguous looks.
Even the most serious Huayang showed a contemplative expression, perhaps thinking that this might be a way to keep Chi Venerable in the Daoist Sect.
After all, this True Martial Demon Cleansing Venerable ca from the Sword Control Sect, in the end, still an outsider. However, their martial strength was uncontrollable, even Huayang, an old Venerable, wasn’t confident about a draw.
Attaining sainthood through the physical body was the most difficult and thus the hardest to deal with.
Just like Qingcang Master’s ability to break ten thousand techniques with pure power, facing such pure might, no matter what thods one had, it was hard to be effective.
Chi Yu Zi continued feeding without pause, glancing at Li Yunshang with confusion, as if to say, “What’s wrong with this?”
After all, they hadn’t even held hands.
Gu Wen spat out a piece of bone and said, “Master, you should find a companion too.”
“As a monk, what do I need a companion for?” Li Yunshang said with a forced smile, “Of course, if you can find soone who becos an Immortal at forty, I wouldn’t mind getting along.”
Gu Wen bluntly said, “Then Master will have to stay single for life, unlike , a unique existence.”
“Rebellious disciple, dare to talk back!”
Li Yunshang grabbed Gu Wen’s ear and scolded, “Do you not know how to entertain guests? Today, I invited great powers from the Three Pure Daoist Sect, and you, as the host, don’t know how to entertain them?”
Why do I have to entertain them?
Gu Wen complained inwardly but dared not retort, knowing that being beaten still hurts. He couldn’t avoid the suffering.
He stood up, raised his cup, and said, “We’re all family, no need for formalities. Here, I first toast to Huayang Venerable.”
“Thanks to Venerable for governing the world, we owe the current peace to Huayang Venerable.”
The usually silent Huayang was sowhat flattered, his expression changed, he didn’t expect Gu Wen to ntion him first, and even thank him.
Is this person really the talent for governing the world as Qingcang Master said?
Without much thought, Huayang quickly stood up and raised his cup, “All credit goes to Qingcang Master, I dare not claim rit. It is also thanks to Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, I can only rank fourth.”
“I’ve never worked for a day, how can I claim credit?”
Gu Wen shook his head, Huayang replied earnestly, “Master was saved by you. Without Yuqing Heavenly Venerate fighting against the Twelve Demon Ancestors alone back then, the Human Race might be kneeling under the Jianmu today.”
Qingcang Master often said that human determination triumphs over fate, the Human Race would never only have one Qingcang, after she leaves, countless others will stand up.
The struggle is endless.
But without Qingcang Master, Huayang could see no victory.
Gu Wen might grow to replace the Master, but the Human Race couldn’t wait for eight hundred years.
“First is the Master, second is Gu Wen, then am I the third?”
Yun Miao pointed to himself and boasted, “After all, it was I who ca out of seclusion to stop you all and insisted on helping Gu Wen back then.”
“It’s the Heavenly Girl.” Huayang said expressionless, “If it weren’t for the Heavenly Girl, you wouldn’t have insisted. Even without you, the Heavenly Girl would have forced to accept with her death.”
“Alright, the Heavenly Girl indeed worked hard, but can you rank fourth?”
Yun Miao was a bit unconvinced, took a few sips of Heavenly Immortal Brew, and started to open up.
“You rascal, back then you were always winking at the Zhao family and frequently exchanging letters with the Lord Emperor. What do you have to say about the Gu family incident?”
The atmosphere beca sowhat subtle. Being quite adept at political matters, Lu Chan imdiately heard the problem.
Huayang slightly frowned, unclear of Yunmiao’s intention, and succinctly said: “After the Daoist Sect and the Zhao family cooperated, it was the Zhao family who annihilated the Guardian lineage, coercing the Daoist Sect into cooperation. It was not the cooperation that destroyed the Gu family.”
Yunmiao imdiately accused, “Look at you, lacking determination, compromising to survive, and you still dare to claim the fourth achievent?”
At this mont, even the three Three Pure Daoists and Qi Xiao sensed the tension.
Their status wasn’t high enough to speak, and Qi Xiao felt a tingling scalp.
Having a al seed to involve the Daoist Sect and even the highest-level struggle in the world.
Gu Wen’s expression remained calm as he cast a aningful glance at Yunmiao and said, “This matter does not bla Huayang Venerable, and we are discussing governance of the world, not personal grievances. As far as I know, Huayang Venerable has been in power for over six hundred years. Even my master cannot compare to such an achievent.”
In eight hundred years, six hundred were worked by Huayang, which was the important reason Gu Wen let Huayang off the hook.
Yunmiao Venerable’s temperant clearly wasn’t suited for political matters, while his own master was suited for dividing the spoils.
If Huayang was no longer present, then it might fall to Gu Wen to do the work.
And Yunmiao’s words today were to resolve the last causal link, one that seed important to outsiders but Gu Wen had never cared about.
The extermination of the Gu family by the Zhao family was an irreconcilable enmity.
In the cultivation world, there was also the concept of collective punishnt. Although the people weren’t killed by Huayang, Huayang not avenging the Gu family and instead colluding with the Zhao family was also a grudge.
At these words, Huayang hadn’t smiled yet, but Yunmiao smiled and raised his cup, saying, “In that case, I was shallow.”
“Indeed.”
Gu Wen nodded, then clenched his fists, smiling at Yunmiao as he asked, “Speaking of which, Yunmiao Venerable has helped a lot, and I have yet to repay. Recently, I had so insights into cultivation, and there’s a technique nad Shaking Earth…”
He indeed didn’t care, but it was wrong for Yunmiao to sche against him.
If Gu Wen were just a demi-immortal, he would think Yunmiao was very clever. But now as a saint, Yunmiao was just showing off his skills before an expert to invite a beating.
A saint doesn’t need any of your explanations; just kneel and listen.
“Sothing suddenly ca up in the Jade Palace. The Pill Alliance was left without the Jiang family, and a large number of corruption cases were involved.”
Yunmiao imdiately jumped out of his seat, walking out while saying, “I’ll go handle it…”
As soon as the words fell, an imnse fist force was already approaching head-on.
Gu Wen rely clenched his fist and lightly waved forward, the slow speed resembling reaching out to touch. The light breeze from his fist slightly swayed the candle flas, but when it landed on Yunmiao, it was like a great mountain crashing head-on.
Yunmiao’s body flew out, the dragon-carved and phoenix-painted garden of a thousand feet away nearly vanished, half the Sky Do tore apart, revealing the outer scenery of Three Pure Mountain.
Bigger outside and smaller inside, this place had turned into a grotto heaven.
Everyone was stunned; they couldn’t understand Gu Wen’s thods, even a Fox Fairy of this caliber couldn’t.
Only Li Yunshang praised, “In just a month’s ti, you’ve made progress again.”
Gu Wen modestly said, “Compared to Master, it’s only one-tenth of a thousand.”
One-tenth of a thousand was Gu Wen’s achievent in the past month, creating the divine skill with reference to Li Yunshang’s Great Tao.
He nad it Shaking Earth.
The banquet continued, and midway, Chan Xi and the others left to check on their master’s condition. Shortly after, they brought news that Yunmiao was unconscious.
At the end, everyone was well-fed and satisfied.
Li Yunshang had prepared gifts for everyone, each receiving a wisp of Dao charm, considered a rare treasure for them.
But Gu Wen alone received two pieces of clothing, one a flowing cloud white vestnt robe and the other a Vermilion Phoenix Feather Robe, both extrely flamboyant.
Gu Wen saw the endless Dao charm and majesty exuding from them, feeling that wearing them, he wouldn’t be unworthy of an Immortal Emperor.
“These were personally woven by . Try them and see if they fit.”
Li Yunshang’s elegant and plain face was full of expectation, and his words made Gu Wen’s refusal stuck in his throat.
Could he say he wouldn’t wear them?
