Chapter 2474 - 2472: Welcoming the Emperor
The group of people in the room were all wide-eyed upon seeing this magical treasure.
Even Lin Yingying glanced over and smiled, asking Long Fei, "Is this a magical treasure from those Exposition Sect Immortals?"
Long Fei nodded, took four lotus seeds from the Chaos Green Lotus, and handed them to Lin Yingying and the others, saying, "These are lotus seeds from the Chaos Green Lotus. They can connect with the soul, continuously harmonizing and nurturing Yin Yang Qi. When the lotus seeds bloom into green lotuses, they become supreme defensive magical treasures."
"So incredible?"
Lin Shanshan happily took one, looked at it under the sunlight, and asked Long Fei, "Can it grow a lotus dais like the one you sit on?"
Long Fei chuckled softly, "It can, but it will be less impressive. It’s an acquired object, not comparable to something innate."
The Chaos Beast suddenly appeared at this moment, staring at Long Fei while drooling, "Master, be honest, where is your Chaos Green Lotus from?"
"Our family reunion, why are you causing a stir!"
Long Fei coughed lightly, tossed it a lotus seed, and kicked it out the door.
The Chaos Beast howled outside, "My god! Is it from that broken stone we found in the Eighteen Layers of Hell?"
Long Fei and the people in the room all laughed.
Lin Yingying and the others were curious about the underworld matters and urged him to quickly talk about what’s going on in the Netherworld.
Long Fei nodded and roughly recounted his experiences in the Netherworld.
The two daughters were left in awe, and even Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan widened their eyes, surprised to learn that the Eighteen Layers of Hell truly existed.
Lin Shanshan clicked her tongue and said, "Will we enter the Eighteen Layers of Hell when we die?"
Lin Yingying rolled her eyes at her and exclaimed, "What nonsense are you spouting, you jinx!"
Lin Shanshan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I’m just exploring the idea!"
Long Fei informed them, "The Eighteen Layers of Hell is the junction between the Human Realm and the Netherworld. All of the energy lost from the Human Realm gathers there. The Yama Lord of the Underworld would purify some souls daily, allowing them to be reborn as humans in the Netherworld. Originally, there were Six Paths of Reincarnation between the Human Realm and Netherworld, letting people in the Netherworld return to the Human Realm through it. But now the Six Paths of Reincarnation have been broken, and even those emerging from the Eighteen Layers of Hell can only live in the Netherworld."
"I see."
Lin Shanshan and Lin Yingying exchanged a look, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, "Will our parents go there?"
Long Fei sighed, "They will, but there are many Yin souls there. Their consciousness submerged in it makes them hard to find, like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Lin Yingying said, "No wonder Meng Po works so hard in there and still hasn’t found her husband."
Lin Shanshan said, "What a devoted lady. I’d really want to meet her someday!"
Zhang Xian’er, being playful, said, "Dad, you said you brought back some Meng Po Soup? What’s the taste like? Is it tasty?"
Long Fei warned her, "Drinking it makes you lose your memory, do you dare to drink it?"
Zhang Xian’er pouted, "If you dare to drink, why wouldn’t I? As long as Dad remembers me, that’s fine."
Ji Shuiling shook her head with a gentle smile, "I dare not drink it, I don’t want to forget Dad."
Their personalities are completely different.
One like fire, the other like water.
Zhang Xian’er was too engrossed in listening to the story to notice her aunt Lin Shanshan had already picked up a golden brick in her hand.
"This thing is nice!"
She weighed it in her hand and said to Long Fei, "I’ll take this one!"
Zhang Xian’er cried out in distress, "Auntie, Dad said we could choose, not you!"
"You ungrateful girl, all those times I’ve pampered you!"
Lin Shanshan reached out, intending to hit her.
Zhang Xian’er laughed and hid behind Ji Shuiling, her eyes rolling over the magical treasures on the table before snatching up the Scarlet Essence Sword.
This sword is an offensive magical weapon. She pondered for a moment and took the Golden Soft Rope as well.
These two items were all crafted by a Golden Immortal, extraordinary indeed.
Lin Yingying instructed Ji Shuiling, "Shuiling, pick an item too, before your sister takes everything."
Ji Shuiling, being an introverted girl, was too shy to take one unless Lin Yingying encouraged her.
She looked around and picked up the Suiren Drill in her hand, saying, "I’ll take this one."
Zhang Xian’er grumbled at her, "Sister, with so many Immortal Swords, why pick a drill?"
Ji Shuiling smiled and replied, "I’m good at setting up formations, and this can break formations, so they complement each other."
Among the magical treasures on site, only the Scarlet Essence Sword was a Golden Immortal Sword; the rest were True Immortal Swords, and Ji Shuiling already had one.
They finished selecting the magical treasures just as disciples came in to report that the banquet was ready, waiting for Long Fei to come out and have his dust-cleansing ceremony.
Long Fei asked Lin Yingying, "Why aren’t Nannan and Kirin here?"
Lin Yingying sighed in frustration, "They ran away from home, saying they wanted to train somewhere, haven’t seen them for ages."
Zhang Xian’er said, "When I was leaving, I saw them on Immortal King Star."
"Immortal King Star?"
Lin Yingying frowned, "Really, what are they doing there?"
Zhang Xian’er shook her head, "I don’t know, they said they were looking for a Spiritual Root, supposedly related to Dad and Little Ya’s second mother."
Lin Yingying exchanged a glance with Long Fei, sighed, and said, "My fault, shouldn’t have told them about the Peach Spiritual Root."
When the Kuafu Yan Sacred Site was massacred, Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya happened to revive the Peach Mother Tree.
Now it’s been forty to fifty thousand years, who knows what that Peach Mother Tree looks like now.
Lin Yingying casually mentioned it, not expecting that the Little Kirin would take it to heart.
"Let them get some experience, it’s good."
Long Fei led Lin Yingying and the others to the Heavenly Court’s main hall, where banquets were laid out in the outdoor plaza.
Almost all disciples who could enter and exit the Heavenly Court Continent were present.
The scene was a lively one, with tens of thousands of people there.
Many had only heard of Long Fei’s reputation, never having seen him.
This battle between Long Fei and Emperor Shi Tian had opened their eyes, garnering immense respect for Long Fei as the Emperor, with no one daring to show any disrespect.
Some disciples had come with the intent to challenge Long Fei.
They were all overlords from other Star Domains and, upon arrival here, couldn’t help but feel a bit competitive.
As soon as Long Fei made an appearance in front of the main hall, all disciples at the banquet stood up, cupped their hands, and bowed to Long Fei.
Long Fei nodded in acknowledgment and entered the main hall with Lin Yingying.
Inside sat the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court, most of whom were elders of the Yin Yang Sect.
Particularly the nine sword maidens of the Kunwu Nine Swords, who had all made rapid advancements in their cultivation level, reaching the Mahayana Realm and earning the title of the "Nine Fairy Maidens" of the Heavenly Court.
They all greeted Long Fei with smiles and respectfully saluted him.
Long Fei and Lin Yingying sat at the main seat, and everyone else happily took their seats.
Long Fei glanced around the room curiously and asked, "Where’s Bai Jie’er, Bai Xiaochun, and Bai Qianqian? Seems like we’re missing quite a few people here."
Hua Qianmo stood and reported, "Reporting to the Emperor, not just them, but many Demon Clan brothers and sisters aren’t here. During your absence, the Heavenly Court has been sending people to receive individuals into the Superior Immortal Realm. The Bai Family Sisters were led away by immortals from the Green Hill Clan, they should be in the Immortal Realm now."
Lin Yingying added, "The ones from the Peacock Clan and Azure Dragon Clan were similarly escorted away by their respective clans."
Long Fei nodded and said, "The era of great prosperity is coming, it seems everyone is setting the stage in advance."
He raised his glass, gesturing to the disciples in the main hall and went out to toast with the disciples outside.
With the Chaos Green Lotus, Long Fei could now freely travel between the Three Realms, and it was time to journey to the Immortal Realm.
