Chapter 3711: Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan

As a calm laugh rang out, the various Prodigies at the Bodhi Dao Banquet were all startled.

They all looked in the direction the sound came from…

They saw a white-haired youth with an arrogant expression and handsome features walking in step by step.

Though he looked young, the aura emanating from him was ethereal…

However, no one dared to underestimate him, and everyone bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan!"

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan!"

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan!"

"…"

The person who arrived was none other than the Pseudo-Emperor hosting this Bodhi Dao Banquet, known as Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

Xiao Fan also bowed, feeling a strong sense of trepidation from the person before him.

If he were to fight this person, he would definitely have no chance of escaping.

Immediately, Xiao Fan's vigilance reached its peak; he had to be extremely careful during the rest of the Bodhi Dao Banquet and could not reveal any flaws…

"Hehehe… little ones, there is no need for such formalities." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan laughed slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. When he saw Xiao Fan, his expression flickered with surprise before returning to calm.

The weakest among the Prodigies present were at the Heavenly Saint Realm, with the sole exception of Xiao Fan, whose Realm was only at the Heavenly King Realm.

Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan walked straight to the main seat and sat down slowly.

Afterward, maidservants kept entering the hall, bringing in chairs one by one…

"Alright, those who were not invited to participate in the Bodhi Dao Banquet should leave now…" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said slowly.

Immediately, most people showed expressions of unwillingness and regret as they left the hall.

According to the rules of the Bodhi Dao Banquet, only those who accepted the invitation were qualified to taste the bodhi tea.

After most of the followers had left, Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said slowly: "Alright, take your seats."

Afterward, Yuan Yanbin, Xiao Fan, and the others sat on the chairs the maidservants had just brought.

After Xiao Fan sat on the chair, he immediately felt an inexplicable coolness. This chair was no ordinary object; it contained a powerful icy force within it.

Other Prodigies also discovered this.

"Hehehe… you don't need to be nervous, it's fine." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said slowly: "Later, when you drink the bodhi tea, if your Opportunity is sufficient, you might fall into a state of self-forgetfulness. These chairs can help you stay conscious, so you don't end up never waking up…"

Hearing this, everyone was startled.

Because in previous Bodhi Dao Banquets, there had often been cases where people drank the bodhi tea and fell into a deep sleep, never to wake again.

They had originally thought these were just rumors, but now, hearing it from Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, it seemed this was not false.

You must know that the Bodhi Dao Banquet occurs once every ten thousand years. For most people in the Upper Realm, this banquet is like a legend; very few people can participate, so it is understandable that they were unaware of the effects of the bodhi tea.

"Hehehe… no need to be surprised. If you really do fall into a deep sleep, it's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you don't die…" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said slowly.

It would have been better if he hadn't said that; upon hearing this, the expressions of the Prodigies became even uglier.

"Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, w-will we die?!" A Prodigy at the Heavenly God Realm asked weakly. He was a descendant of a large Family whose ancestor had some friendship with Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan, which was why he dared to ask.

"Hehehe… of course. This bodhi tea is very magical. Those with the right affinity might soar to the heavens, while those without it will find it bitterly unbearable to drink… Of course, there are also unlucky ones who will perish after drinking the bodhi tea…" Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan said slowly.

Hearing this, everyone was terrified.

You must know that these people were all Prodigies from the Upper Realm of the Divine Domain, and no one was willing to lose their life over a cup of tea.

"What? Are you afraid? If you are afraid, it is still not too late to regret it." Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan laughed slowly.
