The Jade Emperor felt like he had an itchy scalp. He carefully gulped and took the Sky Stamp. He tried to bond with it.
As expected, he bonded with the Sky Stamp instantly. It did not feel difficult at all.
Spiritual Treasures were hard to train if their level was high. Especially for Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. They basically belonged to the realm. More importantly, they contained the Power of Law. So, even the most basic Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was hard to train. A Daluo Golden Immortal needed millions of years to fully train a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.
The Eastern Bell contained a Heavenly Seal that even Saints could not remove and train it!
Saints would not be willing to give away an ultimate treasure like that.
The real name of the Eastern Bell was the Chaos Bell. In the eldritch eras, the Sun birthed the Lord Emperor Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. The Chaos Bell was the lifelong item of Taiyi. He used the Chaos Bell for the ultimate defense. The Eastern Emperor made a name for himself so the Chaos Bell started to be known as the Eastern Bell.
However, even though the Chaos Bell was his lifelong item, he had never trained it more than fifty percent!
Heavenly Spiritual Treasures represented the highest forms of Heavenly Spirit!
‘How did Daji fully train the Chaos Bell? What kind of concept is that? She’s a Taiyi Golden Immortal but even the Jade Emperor couldn’t do that!’
Moreover, she could use the Eastern Bell to better her cultivation.
It was the same for the Fire Phoenix. The Flaming Flag was extremely useful for her fire powers!
The Jade Emperor and Empress looked at each other. They could see envy and admiration in their eyes.
‘The expert gave Daji and the Fire Phoenix two ultimate treasures to defend themselves because he saw that they were hurt. He skipped the training of the treasures with just a sentence! The expert’s too nice to the people around him!
‘This is the benefits of kissing-up to a bigshot. A bigshot’s words are life-changing. Any opportunity he gives is a once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough!
‘However, we’re satisfied with what we got even though we envy Daji and the Fire Phoenix. After all…we could get a bowl of soup.
‘The rest of the treasures aren’t as great as the Chaos Bell or the Flaming Flag but they’re still Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. We also fully trained them. We got lucky.
‘Seems like the expert’s satisfied with what we did. That’s why he blessed us with rewards.’
The Jade Emperor and Empress thought to themselves, ‘Oh to be the carriers for the expert. We get paid generously. We won’t exchange this for being the Jade Emperor and Empress.’
Li Nianfan started to make plans for the soup. He said, “It’s so inconvenient that the big pot is here.”
The Empress suggested, “How about…we switch the location to the Heavenly Palace?”
“I thought so, too.” Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. He groaned for a moment and said, “Also, it’s such a big pot of soup. It’ll be a waste if we don’t invite guests for such a luxurious meal.”
He planned on making a nice Kunpeng meal. It would be nice to gather a crowd. However, he should let the Empress and the Jade Emperor decide on that. He did not want to say it so directly.
“Yes, yes!”
The Jade Emperor and the Empress naturally understood what Li Nianfan truly meant by that. They nodded at the same time and said in agreement, “We can totally plan a food event similar to the Flat Peach Feast. Also, the Heavenly Palace is freshly rebuilt, we should gather people for a celebration and show them what the Heavenly Palace is made of. Saint, what a nice suggestion!”
The Jade Emperor invitingly said, “Saint, if you have any friends you’d like to invite, feel free to tell them. This pot is so big, we should have more people so we won’t waste it.”
Li Nianfan smiled and saluted, “Thanks for the generosity, Jade Emperor. If you don’t mind, I can provide some fruits and wine for the feast. It’s not comparable to Immortal Fruits but it’s still delicious. Think of it as a decorative touch.”
He was going to invite his old friends. Truthfully, he was a very nostalgic person. He reminisced about a time where he had a bunch of cultivator friends when he was just an ordinary man with no Saint title. He should help them out by introducing them to the Heavenly Palace.
The Jade Emperor and the Empress were overjoyed when they heard that Li Nianfan was going to provide the fruits and wine. The feast would be much better than a Flat Peach Feast!
As the old leaders of the Heavenly Palace, they still liked to be reputational. The Heavenly Palace would have a great reputation with the items from the expert.
‘The expert’s so humble. Decorative touch? That’s clearly the finale treasure!’
“We don’t mind at all!”
The Empress hurriedly smiled and said, “No time to waste. We shall carry this pot back to the Heavenly Palace. We’ll wait for you there, Saint.”
“Alright!”
Li Nianfan nodded. Then, he said, “Oh yeah, to ensure the freshness of the meat, we need to hurry. Let’s have the feast the day after tomorrow. We can’t delay it any further.”
The Jade Emperor and Empress nodded at the same time. “Yes, we’ll listen to you, Saint!”
Then, they rode on clouds and left with the huge pot.
Li Nianfan watched as they left. He smiled at Daji and the others and said, “Daji, I’ll go back and gather more ingredients. You should invite our old friends. Let them socialize with the Heavenly Palace. It’ll be beneficial for them.”
“Yes, darling.”
…
All was set. Everyone was busy with their tasks.
…
Planning a feast, and especially planning a huge event, was tiresome. They were busy preparing food, inviting their friends, and planning the performances. They were not going to treat it lightly.
The Jade Emperor and Empress were the most anxious.
The Flat Peach Feast was lousy compared to the Kunpeng Feast!
It was considered to be the best feast of all times!
They could not afford a single mistake! They ordered around every Immortal once they returned to the Heavenly Palace. They also carefully picked their civilized guests. They had to ensure nothing went wrong!
Suddenly, the Jade Emperor felt something. He hurriedly said, “Stop!”
A cloud flew in from behind. Soon, Daji appeared in front of everyone.
The Jade Emperor and the Empress did not dare to be rude. They hurriedly greeted her, “Lady Daji.”
Daji saluted back. She said, “Emperor, Empress, I’m afraid I need some of your time.”
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “No worries, Lady Daji. Feel free to say anything.”
Daji nodded. She flicked her wrist and out came a Golden Gourd. She pointed it at Lord Kunpeng in the pot. She calmly said, “Lord Kunpeng, I know your Primordial Spirit is also sealed in the pot. If you don’t want to be turned to soup along with your flesh, get into this gourd now!”
Then, golden light from the gourd projected on the dead Lord Kunpeng.
A small figure of the Garuda Bird slowly appeared. It turned around to see its dead body. The figure of Lord Kunpeng looked emotional and pained.
“Farewell, my dearest flesh. Rest in peace and turn into soup. I survived like a coward but it’s still better than becoming soup. I’m sorry, I betrayed you…”
Then, it flapped its wings and flew into the gourd.
“Done.” Daji put aside the Golden Gourd. She groaned for a moment and told the Jade Emperor, “Emperor, Empress, this feast is important. You must remind the guests not to break the rules of my master! It’s the most important thing so remember, remember it!”
‘Of course. There’d be a lot of guests. We can’t allow any airheads to accidentally insult the expert. That’d be troublesome!
‘We almost forgot!’
The Jade Emperor and Empress had cold sweat all over. They kept nodding and said, “Yes, yes. Thanks for the reminder, Lady Daji. We almost made a mistake. That’d be a disaster!”
Then, the Empress asked, “Lady Daji, Chang’e of the Heavenly Palace would always dance at the Flat Peach Feast. What do you think about the performance?”
“My master’s an enjoyer of life. Performances and entertainment can’t be omitted.”
Daji groaned for a moment. She said, “I’m afraid Chang’e’s dance performance alone would be too boring. Remember the last time? My master guided you all on the performances. We should find a time and place to gather. Gather the Underworld, Sea Race, Demons, and the Heavenly Palace’s Chang’e for a quick meeting. We need to plan and rehearse!”
The Jade Emperor, Empress, and Ao Cheng all nodded with seriousness. They started to make plans in their minds.
The Empress said, “You’re right, Lady Daji! I’ll inform the Underworld immediately!”
