Chapter 185: Nangong Youxi

Chapter 185: Nangong Youxi

In order to run Zhang Yuhe's Golden Immortal celebration well,

all Dao Saint Sect Disciples were mobilized.

Everyone was dispatched to various places to participate in patrol and reception duties.

Xie Mingyuan instructed the crowd of Disciples,

“Keep your eyes sharp, and make sure not to offend any of the Golden Immortal Ancestors who come to offer their congratulations.”

“At the same time, be careful not to let anyone of unknown origin in to cause trouble.”

“If you cannot confirm someone's identity, send a message immediately to make contact.”

“Yes, sir.”

After Xie Mingyuan finished speaking, he quickly rushed to the next patrol point.

Thinking of his former Junior Brother, his heart was filled with immense admiration.

It had only been a bit over twenty thousand years since Zhang Yuhe's Ascension, yet he had already been promoted to a Golden Immortal Ancestor.

As for himself, it had been over two hundred thousand years since his Ascension, yet he was still only at the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm.

Once, Xie Mingyuan had been extremely proud of his natural talent.

Possessing the Metal Spirit Body, his cultivation speed far surpassed other Cultivators of the same rank.

Back when he was in Yu Fantian, it had only taken him a bit over sixty thousand years to successfully undergo tribulation and ascend.

However, after arriving in the Immortal Realm,

he realized how vast the Immortal Realm was and how many prodigies there were.

Even though he had not dared to stop for a single moment, his cultivation up to now was still only at the Late Stage of the True Immortal Realm.

Although his cultivation speed was already extremely fast compared to most Cultivators,

Xie Mingyuan was still unsatisfied.

He felt that compared to Zhang Yuhe, he was nothing but trash.

Thinking of this, he gently clenched his fists and secretly encouraged himself,

“I must break through to the Great Perfection of the True Immortal Realm as soon as possible.”

The Dao Saint Sect had Spirit Medicines to assist in breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and now they also had the Tribulation Platform set up by Zhang Yuhe.

As long as he cultivated to the Great Perfection of the True Immortal Realm, he would soon be able to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

…

Dao Saint Peak, Gathering Immortals Hall.

Over thirty Golden Immortal Cultivators gathered together.

Aside from the Golden Immortals of the Nine Immortals Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, almost all the Loose Cultivator Golden Immortals in the Ji'an Sea Area were also present.

Everyone was filled with anticipation for Zhang Yuhe, this newly ascended Golden Immortal Cultivator.

Long Xingxiu took out an exquisite jade box and spoke at the same time,

“Congratulations to Dao Friend Zhang on achieving the Great Dao of the Golden Immortal. This small gift is just a token of my respect.”

“Thank you, Sect Master Long, for your support.”

Zhang Yuhe accepted the jade box and politely responded.

The others also followed suit, presenting their gifts one after another.

He put them all away one by one without checking them.

The purpose of the Dao Saint Sect holding the Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony was not to collect gifts for him.

Rather, it was to bring the various parties closer together and increase interaction.

At the same time, it would spread the reputation of the Dao Saint Sect and restore its past glory.

For this day, everyone in the Dao Saint Sect had waited for hundreds of thousands of years.

While everyone was conversing enthusiastically,

Lian Zhengyu suddenly took out his Immortal Transmission Mirror and let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

“Everyone, follow me outside. The Nangong Immortal Clan has sent someone.”

“Ah…”

Hearing Lian Zhengyu's words, everyone had expressions of disbelief.

In the past, whenever a Golden Immortal Cultivator emerged from any party, they would customarily send an invitation to the Nangong Immortal Clan.

However, the other party would only politely respond and would not send anyone to attend the celebration.

Although the various forces in the Ji'an Sea Area were indeed nominally subordinates of the Nangong Immortal Clan,

the Nangong Immortal Clan had always paid little attention to this remote place that was the Ji'an Sea Area.

They neither collected tribute resources from the various forces in the Ji'an Sea Area,

nor did they ever interfere in the internal struggles of the forces within the Ji'an Sea Area.

Except when a beast tide broke out on the Chaos Continent,

and the Nangong Immortal Clan would send people to issue a Mobilization Order to the various forces in the Ji'an Sea Area.

Under normal circumstances,

the Nangong Immortal Clan would not cast so much as a single glance toward the Ji'an Sea Area.

However, the Nangong Immortal Clan indeed had the capital to be proud.

For within their clan, they had Grand Unity Immortal Lords presiding, and more than just one.

Even in the entire South Sea Immortal Realm, the Nangong Immortal Clan was a major force that could hold its own.

They had established a Lord City on the Chaos Continent, along with several Garrison Cities.

They simply looked down on a small pond like the Ji'an Sea Area.

Furthermore, the Nangong Immortal Clan was located in the Heavenly Palace Sea Domain, which was extremely far from the Ji'an Sea Area.

It was not easy for them to travel back and forth.

Naturally, they would not send anyone to attend a Golden Immortal celebration here.

Unless a Grand Unity Immortal Lord was born in the Ji'an Sea Area,

holding an Immortal Lord celebration, which would then be worth their trip.

Hearing that someone from the Nangong Immortal Clan was coming, everyone was so shocked they were speechless.

After a long while, Long Xingxiu frowned slightly and speculated,

“Could they be here to distribute a Mobilization Order?”

Hearing this, everyone could not help but fall into silence.

The Nangong Immortal Clan distributing a Mobilization Order meant that a beast tide would soon break out on the Chaos Continent.

Facing a beast tide on the Chaos Continent, they, as Golden Immortal Cultivators, were only slightly stronger than True Immortal Cultivators.

But it was still very difficult to guarantee their own safety.

Otherwise, back then, Lu Yunfei was so powerful,

yet hadn't he also gone missing for hundreds of thousands of years because of it?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lian Zhengyu stood up and slowly said,

“There is no need for everyone to make wild guesses. We will know once we go out and look.”

Led by Lian Zhengyu, everyone quickly transformed into streaks of light and flew outside.

When they arrived several hundred miles away from Yunfei Island,

they saw a massive flying boat rapidly gliding in from the distance.

A young, beautiful woman stood at the front of the flying boat, her dress fluttering in the wind.

Yu Liwei softly explained to everyone,

“This is Nangong Youxi, a Core Disciple of the Nangong Immortal Clan.”

“I heard she reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm long ago, but because she lacked confidence in passing the Great Eternity Heavenly Tribulation, she has remained in the Golden Immortal Realm for a long time.”

Hearing this, everyone was even more startled.

In the past, when the Nangong Immortal Clan distributed Mobilization Orders, at most a True Immortal Disciple would come.

With Nangong Youxi coming this time, the matter was likely not so simple.

As a core child of the clan, Nangong Youxi was only half a step away from breaking through to the Grand Unity Immortal realm.

Of course,

this half-step was extremely difficult.

The Heavenly Tribulation for breaking through to the Grand Unity Immortal realm was incomparable to the Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation.

Countless prodigies had ultimately fallen at this step.

However, once one successfully broke through, they would possess an infinite Lifespan.

It could be said that,

as long as one became a Grand Unity Immortal Lord, the Cultivators' dream of longevity was basically achieved.

At least, theoretically so.

A figure like Nangong Youxi should not have appeared in the Ji'an Sea Area.

However, before they could react,

a boy on the flying boat soared into the air and called out in a loud voice,

“The Nangong Immortal Clan congratulates Dao Friend Zhang on advancing to the Golden Immortal Realm, and specially presents a Medium Grade Immortal Artifact!”

After the boy finished speaking, an exquisite jade box slowly flew toward Zhang Yuhe.

Zhang Yuhe gently caught the jade box, then cupped his hands in gratitude toward Nangong Youxi on the flying boat.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Nangong, for coming to attend my celebration. Please, follow me.”

After Zhang Yuhe finished speaking, he gestured with his hand.

Regardless of Nangong Youxi's purpose for this trip, a guest is a guest.

It was only right to invite her inside first.

Furthermore, the Nangong Immortal Clan was not harsh toward its subordinate forces.

Even if they issued a Mobilization Order, they would provide sufficient benefits and would not make people work for nothing.

Everyone quickly stepped aside.

Following behind the flying boat, they quickly flew toward Dao Saint Peak.
