Chapter 556 Peach Banquet

Auspicious clouds are everywhere, gathering fairies from all directions.

In the fairyland of Yao Chi, the plain cloud flag was raised, and an auspicious atmosphere surged, rippling across the sky that stretches for billions of miles.

In the three realms, all the cultivators who received the invitation to the Peach Banquet felt it.

At Guanjiangkou, on the big bed.

Ji Ren, who was originally in a gentle and comfortable state, became aware of something. The third eye on his forehead opened and he vaguely saw a flag.

"what happened?"

Beside Ji Ren, Guan Yan, who woke up because of Ji Ren's actions, said lazily, with a hint of spring on her pretty face. Her snow-white and round shoulders were exposed, and the seductive spring scenery under the quilt could be vaguely seen.

"Good news, it's time to eat peaches."

Looking at Guan Yan's cute and innocent appearance, Ji Ren couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead.

"Peach?"

Guan Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and her confused eyes began to clear up. She stood up and said, "Legend has it that after eating the peaches of the Queen Mother, one can prolong life, live forever, and maintain eternal youth and beauty."

Guan Yan was delighted and waited for Ji Ren's reply, but she only heard the sound of swallowing saliva. She immediately realized that her beauty had been exposed, and quickly wrapped herself in the quilt again, saying shyly, "Haven't you seen enough? Is it really the peaches?"

Looking at the fleeting beauty, Ji Ren felt a little regretful. Although it is common to see beauty, sometimes the beauty that comes unintentionally is more touching. He said with regret, "Yes, peaches. With my status as the third-generation leader of the Chan Sect, I should be able to get a 9,000-year-old peach. However, the 9,000-year-old peach is mainly for increasing one's understanding of Taoism, and eternal youth is a side effect. Moreover, we cultivators do not need to eat peaches to remain eternally young."

This focus is problematic.

"I'm different from you, a monster. I'm a Yuanxian. Only a Golden Immortal can be truly immortal, never old or dead, with an everlasting appearance and eternal youth. I don't even know if I can become a Golden Immortal in this lifetime." Guan Yan rolled her eyes at Ji Ren and said.

"What do you mean by a monster? If I am a monster, then I am the wife of a monster, it's all the same." Ji Ren said unhappily.

Guan Yan grumbled, then said, "It is said that one day in heaven is one year on earth. How long will the Peach Banquet last? Should we make some arrangements to prevent any accidents from happening at Guanjiangkou?"

"It's okay. With a wisp of Master's divine consciousness here, Guanjiangkou is not afraid of external enemies, but internal governance. You and I don't play a big role in this. The saying that one day in heaven is equal to one year on earth is both right and wrong. Although one day in heaven is equal to one year on earth, it does not mean that twelve hours in heaven is equal to one year on earth. Instead, the time it takes for day and night to alternate in heaven is equal to one year on earth. To put it simply, it's not a question of the speed of time, but a question of time units." Ji Ren said.

Otherwise, when Sun Wukong went to the Heaven to ask for help during the Journey to the West, the demons would have eaten Tang Sanzang several times.

"So the gods' banquet will last for a few days, or even several years. Will there be enough food to eat? And the fairies in the sky dance for one hour, which is equivalent to dancing for several months. Won't they get tired? And won't you get bored of watching them?" Guan Yan asked curiously.

"That's a good question. Let's wait until we go up and take a look." At this point, Ji Ren's eyes brightened up.

Fairies dancing.

Colorful feathered clothes.

So beautiful.

Sensing Ji Ren's particularly excited expression, Guan Yan looked at Ji Ren and asked, "Are you excited?"

"No, I want to criticize them! How can they let the fairy dance for such a long time? It's so disrespectful to her. It's simply a sin!" Ji Ren said seriously.

Guan Yan looked at Ji Ren with an expression that said, "I would never trust you."

Ji Ren shrugged his shoulders, got up and put on his clothes, then used his magic power to summon people around him, and then rode on Taxue, taking Guan Yan, Zhuge Qinglan and his wife, the six generals, Tunyue, and Niao Niao to heaven.

On the way, Zhuge Qinglan asked anxiously, "Are you really taking me with you and not Your Majesty?"

They have been a monarch and his subject for so many years. Although everyone has left Qi now, there is always an inexplicable sense of contrast when he suddenly goes to the Peach Banquet and leaves the Emperor of Qi to work for him.

As for addressing him as Your Majesty, it was because although the Emperor of Qi had already abdicated, Zhang Jingmeng respected him as the Supreme Emperor, so the title remained the same.

"Of course, after I am gone, the only ones who can control the entire Guanjiangkou are you and His Majesty. You say that you and I are such close friends, can I just enjoy myself and leave all the things to you like His Majesty did before? No, so, in order to share the happiness, of course I have to take you with me. Could it be that you, my senior brother, don't want my senior sister to participate in the Peach Banquet, the grand event in the fairy world?" Ji Ren looked at Zhuge Qinglan and said seriously.

Look, your junior brother is still the best. Although he not only exploits you, he also exploits your clone to do the work.

But I do provide employee benefits.

Senior staff, let’s go to heaven for team building!

Unlike Emperor Qi, he used to create babies in the harem and gave the job to you.

Zhuge Qinglan looked at Ji Ren's expression, pondered for a while, and finally patted Ji Ren's head with a feather fan and said, "Just speak, don't be so exaggerated, it doesn't match your status."

To say it's exaggerated is a bit of an understatement, it's a little bit mean.

"We are all family, why should we be polite? Just be happy and enjoy the last bit of peace. Who knows, after this Peach Banquet, we may not have such quiet days anymore?" Ji Ren said with a smile.

But just as he finished speaking, Guan Yan covered his mouth with his palm and said, "Don't put up flags casually."

"Okay, no flag." Ji Ren chuckled.

"But, Junior Brother, is it appropriate for so many of us to go with just one invitation?" Huang Sumei looked at Ji Ren with some concern.

There are ten people here, not counting the three Tunyue.

"That's right. Heavenly Palace doesn't lack food for us. Moreover, I am qualified to eat, and senior brother can represent Master. In this way, we can still have two seats. Uncle Kang and the others have to stand, but when they go to Yao Chi and eat some fruit while standing, it can also save them hundreds of years of hard practice." Ji Ren said.

The Dharma form that Zhuge Qinglan is currently practicing is the Dharma form of Jade Ding Zhenren.

If Master Ji Ren had met with an accident and had not survived this killing calamity, Zhuge Qinglan would most likely have been the next generation of Jade Ding Zhenren.

"I want to sit down? I'd better stand behind you." Zhuge Qinglan said with a wry smile. He was only a Yuanxian now, and when he sat among a group of Jinxians, he would be trembling with fear.

"It's okay, let's go first, otherwise it will be too late. Everyone says that Yao Chi is great. Today we finally have the chance to see it with our own eyes." Ji Ren said with a smile.

Zhuge Qinglan and his companions chuckled in response and chatted along the way. They soon reached the heaven and saw the magnificent South Gate of Heaven.

Thousands of golden lights are rolling in red neon, and thousands of auspicious energy are spraying purple mist.

The deep green is made of colored glaze; the bright and clear is made of precious jade.

It is said to be a Taoist gate, but it also looks like a work of art.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but marvel at the magnificence of the South Gate of Heaven.

"Qingyin and the others will be here too, right? Should we wait for them here?" Guan Yan said, looking at Nantianmen.

“No need. Tushita Palace is in the thirty-three heavens. If you want to go to Yaochi, you can just come down directly. There is no need to go through the South Gate of Heaven.” Ji Ren shook his head.

"If they arrived earlier than us, will they wait for us here?" Guan Yan said.

"It's possible. But wait for us? There's a greater possibility that they'll come after me." Ji Ren said thoughtfully. He hadn't seen Qiao Qingyu and the others since they parted in the Fire Cloud Realm, and he missed them terribly. He had been to the Tushita Palace, but before he could get in, he was driven out by Qingniu, who told him not to disturb their practice.

Ji Ren had no choice but to leave again in shame.

"You're right, asshole!"

At this moment, a sweet and pleasant voice sounded.

Ji Ren's heart moved. Although he hadn't heard this voice for a long time, he could not forget it. It was a light sound. He responded subconsciously. Then the next moment, a terrifying force descended. Ji Ren didn't even have the strength to defend himself and was sucked away. After a dizzy moment, Ji Ren was sucked into a small world.

Zhuge Qinglan and the others' faces changed slightly, and they quickly turned around, and saw two stunning fairies standing on the clouds nearby. They were both stunningly beautiful, one was dignified and elegant, the other was playful and lively, with unparalleled grace and grace.

What is particularly questionable is that the playful and lively fairy is holding a white jade bottle in her hand and smiling sweetly, as if she is a little fox who has stolen a chicken.
