NOVEL WEB Chapter 46
Ye Junlin turned around and smiled, “Everyone, don’t panic! This is my mount, the Kunpeng!”
The moment he said that, it caused a huge stir.
“Wow, this ancient divine beast is actually willing to be Ye Shidi’s mount?” The Cangjian Peak Master and the others were left dumbfounded, their hearts filled with envy.
Xu Yonian sighed, “Ye Shidi truly has the favor of the heavens; maybe this is fate.”
Meanwhile, at the Mysterious Peak, the more enlightened Hong Qianye was hit with a massive shock.
He had once been an Immortal, residing in the heart of the Kunlun Realm, and had learned much more secret knowledge than ordinary cultivators. According to what he understood, divine beasts had already gone extinct in this world, let alone the ancient divine beast Kunpeng’s descendants!
But now, the descendant of the Kunpeng not only appeared out of nowhere but also willingly offered to be Ye Junlin’s mount, which left Hong Qianye feeling utterly absurd!
“It’s said that those carrying great fortune will gain unimaginable opportunities; even divine beasts may seek them just to recognize their master!”
“Could this guy really be that kind of existence?!”
Recalling his previous experiences, Hong Qianye felt his breath nearly halt, a tumultuous storm rising within him, and his gaze toward Ye Junlin shifted entirely.
With a vault containing what seemed like ancient relics, at a young age having reached Great Ascension, and mastering various profound divine abilities, now even having the descendant of the ancient divine beast Kunpeng appearing to acknowledge him as master.
Isn’t this precisely someone carrying great fortune?
“Why him! Just this kind of guy who lazes around every day, living in decline! Why does even the heavens favor him?!”
“And I, a hard-working Demonic Cultivator who has struggled tooth and nail, have to have my dignity trampled and my body toyed with in front of him…”
Thinking about the grievances he suffered during this time, Hong Qianye fought to hold back tears, the sadness in his heart surging like a river.
In mid-air.
Ye Junlin patted the Kunpeng’s head and said, “From now on, I’ll call you Ah Kun.”
Hearing this affectionate name, the Kunpeng wiggled happily, stirring up a massive whirlwind that made the cultivators below sway.
Ye Junlin thought for a moment, feeling something was still off, raised his hand to form a gesture, and pointed to a spot.
Boom!
Under the influence of his magical power, a grand palace emerged from the peak, gently landing on the Kunpeng’s back amidst countless astonished gazes.
“Nice, now I can lie down in there,” Ye Junlin nodded in satisfaction.
The Cangjian Peak Master was left gaping, staring at the empty Cangjian Peak, hands on his head, letting out a cry like a groundhog, “Ah! That’s my home!”
“Pfft!”
Seeing this, the other peak masters burst into laughter.
The Sect Leader Xu Yonian coughed a few times and said seriously, “Jin Shidi, I understand your feelings. Even though Ye Shidi has taken your house, the Sect will build you a bigger one as compensation!”
The Cangjian Peak Master perked up again, scratching his head and laughing, “That’s good then!”
Not far away, Ye Junlin shouted, “Disciples, hurry up! I’m about to set off!”
“Okay! I’m coming, Mouse!”
Bai Xiaoxi glanced at Hong Qianye, who was looking down, and cautiously poked him with a little finger, “Hong Shixiong, Master is calling us!”
Hong Qianye slowly lifted his head, his face calm, “Mm.”
He looked at Ye Junlin’s figure, a sharp gleam flickering in his eyes, inwardly swearing, “Hmph, I acknowledge that those with great fortune are indeed formidable, but I refuse to believe I will always be living under someone else’s roof! As long as I can keep my patience, I will eventually seize your fortune and turn it to my own!”
It’s no wonder Hong Qianye thinks this way—he had started as a small beggar, suffering from hunger and cold, and through relentless perseverance, he had grown to become the renowned leader of the demonic sect.
In his eyes, hard work and effort meant that anything was possible as long as you didn’t give up!
Boom!
The Kunpeng flapped its massive wings, soaring through the overwhelming currents, disappearing into the skies.
“By the way, is it really safe for Ye Shidi to go to the Xue Family banquet? After all, the ancestor of the Xue Family is a Virtual Immortal!” the Tianxiang Peak Master worriedly asked.
“Don’t worry, with an ancient divine beast by his side, what does a Virtual Immortal matter? As long as Ye Shidi doesn’t cause any trouble, I will be grateful!”
Xu Yonian clasped his hands behind his back, a meaningful smile on his lips, “The Xue Family wishes to intimidate, but this tiger has actually come to them; I think the Xue Family will surely regret it.”
Lingzhou.
In the vast sky, clouds surged.
Suddenly, numerous floating islands appeared, varying in size, with closely packed houses, interconnected by dark iron chains.
At the center was a massive floating island, surrounded by smaller ones like stars encircling the moon.
This floating island was rich in spiritual energy, with all buildings grand and even more spectacular.
Upon closer inspection, one would see that the whole place was decorated with colorful lanterns, radiating a joyous atmosphere.
Indeed.
This was the territory of the Xue Family!
All the floating islands belonged to the Xue Family, home to generations of Xue descendants.
As for the largest massive floating island, it naturally served as the main residence of the Xue Family. Those who could live there were the esteemed direct bloodline.
But today was different; the ancestor of the Xue Family had successfully broken through, and the family held a grand banquet, allowing branch members to qualify to gather on the main island and share in the joy.
Swish, swish, swish~
In the sky.
Countless colorful rays of light darted through the void, heading toward the magnificent large floating island.
Male and female cultivators in various outfits arrived by flying boats, riding flying swords, or mounted on flying beasts, coming from all over the Eastern Domain to attend the banquet.
You should know, after the Xue Family’s ancestor ascended to Virtual Immortal, the family’s status rose significantly, with Xue Family members riding on their coattails.
Moreover, the Xue Family was already known as the top cultivation family in Lingzhou, and this event further solidified their status.
Regardless of their reasons, all major powers felt the need to show courtesy, not daring to offend the momentum of the flourishing Xue Family.
At the Xue Family’s main residence, guests came and went, the crowd bustling.
“Congratulations, congratulations! The Xue Family has produced a Virtual Immortal; for the next three hundred thousand years, the Xue Family will have Virtual Immortal protection! We envy you all!” said a certain sect’s elder with cupped hands in congratulation.
“Hey, how do you talk like that? Don’t think just because he’s a Virtual Immortal now, he won’t break through to True Immortal later! That’s someone who can live for over a million years. Young Master Xue, don’t you think I’m right?” flattered a prince from a certain dynasty.
“Young Master Xue is the Xue Family’s eldest legitimate son; doesn’t that make his status even higher now? Not just in Lingzhou, but even throughout the entire Eastern Domain, he can walk with swagger!” another famous sword cultivator raised his cup, beaming with a smile.
“Yeah, yeah, you have to look out for us in the future!”
The surrounding guests chimed in.
“Sure, sure!”
The young man in exquisite clothing had an evil appearance, a proud smile on his face, casually waving his fan as he floated about.
Those who could be here were all notable figures from the various states in the Eastern Domain, and their flattery brought immense satisfaction to Xue Tianyi’s vanity!
“By the way, does anyone know if the Xue Family sent an invitation to the Xuantian Sect?” Suddenly, one guest brought this up.
Instantly, the bustling atmosphere fell into silence.
Curious glances turned toward Xue Tianyi.
Since the end of the Arid Province war, throughout the Eastern Domain, the name of the Xuantian Sect was the most prominent.
Even the Yuhua Sect suffered greatly due to erroneous intelligence, resulting in the loss of a hundred thousand cultivators, with many elders losing their lives as a result.
Who would have known that Ye Junlin was actually a Venerable!
If the people from the Xuantian Sect also attend this banquet, it would bring extraordinary significance!
Xue Tianyi’s eyes flickered, and he coldly smiled, “Of course! But I wonder if the Xuantian Sect dares to send someone to accept the invitation? Don’t just send some nameless nobody to fool my Xue Family, or they won’t even make it through the door!”
“And what if Ye Junlin personally comes?” a guest asked.
Hearing that name, Xue Tianyi’s mind flashed to the shadow in the black robe, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, but he put on a proud face, gently shaking the fan in his hand, “Hehe, then let this country bumpkin see the depth of my Lingzhou Xue Family!”
