Boom!
It was chaotic in the Chaos. Stars were flying around along with debris.
However, the explosions were sudden. A lot of stars broke apart and fell like meteors.
Spiritual Light filled up the Chaos. The jet-black Chaos was colorful for a moment. Powerful forces spiraled in the air. It was bright and majestic.
Saints did not need to restrain themselves when they battled in the Chaos. They did not care how much damage they were causing.
Bam!
The Mosquito Taoist tried her best to escape. Her wings flapped quickly as she flew like smoke. She kept vanishing into black mist. New batches of stars kept passing by.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the drum sounds still followed her. The sounds echoed like waves around Mosquito Taoist. She felt like she was being drowned in the Power of Law.
The drum sounds were hard to get rid of. It also affected her Primordial Spirit and her movements. The weird part was that the Golden Lotus Leaves were not able to block it out.
Back then, she had a chance to escape when she was entrapped by the Buddhists. She sneakily ate three of the Destructive Black Lotuses of Buddhism. Out of the 12 Destructive Black Lotuses, they were left with nine. The three Destructive Black Lotuses merged with her body, becoming three Golden Lotus Leaves. It became her lifelong Immortal Item.
She fully used it. The defense of the Golden Lotus Leaves was far more superior than any Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. However, it could not hold off the drum sounds.
Zip!
The spear caught up to her. It looked like a comet because it was too fast. It was hard to see it in the Chaos.
Boom!
The spear clashed with the Golden Lotus Leaves. The Golden Lotus Leaves trembled and were nudged to the side. The shield almost came off the Mosquito Taoist. She was almost defenseless.
The strong powers knocked the stars into oblivion.
The Mosquito Taoist looked frightened. She gradually had chills.
“Where did this Saint come from? I’m afraid this cultivator’s as strong as Styx and Kunpeng. And his Immortal Items aren’t lousy either.”
Her mind was turning fast. She had no clue. She had a bad feeling.
She had to ask, “Cultivator, I have no grudges with you. Why are you doing this?”
“Ha. It’s fated. Killing you will be my biggest destiny!”
An elder with a black cape slowly appeared out of thin air. He was not holding a drum. Instead, he was holding one of those toy drums—a Pellet drum that kids play with. Every time he rattled it, deafening drum sounds could be heard. The drum had a hue around it and it created waves in the Chaos that rippled outward. It was extremely magical and odd.
Mosquito Taoist clumsily dodged the attacks and asked, “We’re under different Heavenly Laws?”
“That’s right!”
The scrawny elder laughed and raised his arm. He took out a fiery red ring. Flames shot out of it. They turned into scary trails that launched toward Mosquito Taoist. They were about to trap her inside the flames.
Mosquito Taoist quickly backed away. She opened her mouth and poked out her small and delicate tongue. An extremely small fan was stuck on her tongue. She took out her fan and waved it. The fan expanded with the wind. It soon turned into a huge Palm Leaf Fan.
Then, she fanned it at the scrawny elder!
Whoosh—
Strong winds blew like a hurricane. It was harmless but it could easily blow someone far away. The flames instantly went out. Even the unstoppable Crystal Spear stopped for a moment. The stars behind the scrawny elder flew away like paper flakes. They were blown away without any resistance.
The hair and beard of the scrawny elder flew back. He raised his arm and hurriedly pulled his cape in front of him.
Mosquito Taoist clenched her jaw. The Palm Leaf Fan in her hand expanded again. Then, she attacked!
Whoosh!
She did not dare to be reckless. She turned around and vanished into smoke. She flew far away…
At the Heavenly Palace.
Everyone was satisfied with the meal. They all looked happy and blessed. They squinted in enjoyment. They had never eaten such a luxurious meal in their lives. Most importantly, they knew what happiness tasted like. They had never felt that way before.
‘The life of being around the expert’s the true way of living!’
Moreover, it was a huge feast but there were no leftovers at all. Every Immortal held their wine glasses carefully. They did not want to spill any of the wine. They would have eaten the fruit seeds if they disregarded their images.
Juling Shen quietly walked past every table while everyone was chatting. He carefully made his move and searched around with wide eyes.
Suddenly, he noticed something. He stared at an orange peel at a nearby table. He hurriedly walked over.
He grinned. He was clearly joyous. “My twenty-second orange peel. Haha, hehe, what a nice gain!”
Any smart Immortal would keep the orange peel. He was able to collect 22 orange peels.
He did not know when they would have such a huge feast again. So, he collected the orange peels. It could satiate his hunger in the future.
However, just when he was about to snatch the orange peel, a white figure slowly passed by. He seemed to be casually passing by but the orange peel on the table was gone.
Juling Shen was stumped for a moment. Then, he angrily looked at the white figure. He asked, “Taibai Jinxing, what are you doing?”
Taibai Jinxing stopped in his tracks. He slightly waved the horsetail whisk in his hand. He innocently looked at Juling Shen, “General Juling Shen, what do you mean?”
Juling Shen coldly replied, “Still acting innocent? Quickly hand me that orange peel!”
Taibai Jinxing looked at Juling Shen with a puzzled face. “What are you talking about? I have no idea what you mean. Are you accusing me of something?”
Juling Shen was so livid that he wanted to lift that old man up. “Don’t dare to admit it, right? Let me body-search you!”
“Ridiculous! I’m a Heavenly Palace Immortal. You can’t body-search me for no reason.”
Taibai Jinxing brushed his white beard. “Try to touch me. I’m an old man. I’ll immediately lie down in front of you!”
Juling Shen stared at him angrily, “So what if you’re old? Old Man Taibai, I won’t let this go!”
The nearby Deified Dog saw that. He shook his head and smirked. He smiled at them with contempt.
“Heavenly Palace Immortals. So pitiful and tragic!”
Back then, the Heavenly Palace Immortals were so prestigious. They had ambrosia and Flat Peaches. It was not comparable to what the expert had but they were still rich Immortals. However, they had to collect orange peels. Truly, all things would surely change.
Back then, the Deified Dog was respectable because of his master…
He instantly felt proud. “Now, the Dogs have Blackie. We’ll rise again for sure. We’ll have all the orange peels and oranges in sacks. We also have delicious dog food. Envy us, be jealous of us, haha…”
Suddenly, Xing Guan in a white robe ran in. He looked frantic and anxious.
The Jade Emperor arched his eyebrow. He asked, “Why are you so frantic?”
Xing Guan replied, “Emperor, Empress, there are a lot of meteors in the Chaos all of a sudden. The stars aren’t aligned in their trails. I’m worried that they’ll fall into our world and cause a lot of damage.”
The Jade Emperor asked, “Did you find out why this is happening?”
Xing Guan shook his head. “Not yet. It seems to be happening beyond the sky.”
“Be aware of that. Make sure the others keep watch, too. We can’t afford damages in the three realms.” The Jade Emperor nodded. Then, he said, “The feast is almost over, too. Hear my orders, let Juling Shen send the guests off nicely. Don’t be rude. Let General Ye Liuyun send guards to the stars to prevent falling meteors.”
“I understand.”
Xing Guan went off with his orders.
Then, the feast ended. Everyone said their farewells to the Jade Emperor and Li Nianfan. Then, they gradually left.
Yao Mengji and the others went to talk to Li Nianfan together.
Li Nianfan gave them some words of encouragement. They were instantly excited and flushed. They happily left.
They were instantly determined to become good cultivators. They had to service the expert well no matter what!
They had a good relationship with Li Nianfan. Plus, they were invited to the feast. If nothing went wrong, they would definitely be immortalized.
Li Nianfan walked over to Blackie. He patted Blackie on the head, smiled, and said, “Blackie, do well with the dogs, alright? Work hard to become a Dog Immortal someday, alright?”
Blackie barked and nodded obediently. “Don’t worry, Master.”
Li Nianfan said, “Brother Deified Dog, please, take care of Blackie.”
Deified Dog instantly jolted. He kept nodding as he said, “Don’t worry, Lord Saint. I can handle it, I got this!”
Juling Shen hurriedly rushed over. He said in a bootlicking way, “Brother Deified Dog, let me see you two off! Please, after you…”
Meanwhile, a black-robed figure frantically flew around the stars. Behind her was another black-robed scrawny elder. The elder chased after her while holding the Crystal Spear.
The elder looked around and smirked. He laughed and said, “Ha, where else can you run to?!”
