Qi Lin had heard of the Immortality Peach Banquet before. When the Jade Lake Immortality Peaches matured after nine thousand years, the Queen Mother Of The West would convene a banquet and invite the Three Doctrines Divine Names to attend, to consume the Immortality Peaches together. Those able to attend were all practically top-notch characters in Primordial World.
Oh, nine thousand year Immortality Peaches, those were treasures that could allow a cultivator to leap into first-rate realms.
With the Queen Mother Of The West so generous, even the usually calm Qi Lin was a bit overwhelmed.
But the Queen Mother Of The West’s Immortality Peach Banquet had conditions, “The Immortality Peach Banquet will begin in nine years. If you can transcend Five Elements Realm in nine years, then you may attend the banquet at the Jade Lake.”
Cultivation was not constrained to time. To a cultivator, nine years of training was no different from “fleeting.” Right now, Qi Lin was but Golden Core Bagua Middle Stage. Afterwards came Primordial Infant Seven Stars, God Transformation Six Paths, and then Void Return Five Elements. Each of these three major Realms required a full century to even have a chance. The Queen Mother Of The West’s condition only gave Qi Lin nine years; if he could attain Void Return Five Elements in nine years, that would make him a dragon among men in Primordial World, a transcendental change equivalent to a sage. No one else could be more qualified to join the Immortality Peach Banquet.
“Your Servant is grateful for the Queen Mother’s favor and will definitely not fail.” Qi Lin naturally would not refuse.
The Queen Mother Of The West faintly smiled.
Her figure vanished into the stream.
Lu Wu said: “Follow me out of Western Kunlun.”
A moment later, Qi Lin, Qi Qi, and Changxi had already reached the foot of the Western Kunlun Mountains.
“Since you have already met Master Mother, you may not linger any longer in Western Kunlun. If you dare intrude even a single step, I will kill you.” Lu Wu ruthlessly declared.
“We have troubled you, Lady Lu Wu.” Qi Lin would not forget Lu Wu’s subtle concerns for them.
Lu Wu’s brow twitched ever so slightly. This “lady” address sounded a bit odd. “Master Mother bears in mind that you are a Qilin Child of the heavens, and she is unwilling to make things difficult for you at the Immortality Peach Banquet. This three thousand year Immortality Peach is Master Mother’s gift to you. I hope you will cultivate diligently and not betray Master Mother’s kindness.”
Turning her hand, Lu Wu produced an Immortality Peach.
This peach was red and sparkling, its leaves like jade, emitting a rich spirit qi.
Qi Lin was wild with joy as he accepted the three thousand year Immortality Peach.
“Why not gift Big Brother a six thousand year peach. Three thousand years is too stingy.” Qi Qi twitched her mouth.
“If I rely wholly on the Queen Mother Of The West to increase cultivation, then that would be betraying her judgment. Qi Qi, you must learn to be content.” Qi Qi faintly smiled.
“Yes, using spirit medicine substantially increases cultivation by force, but its unsteady foundations are a very short-sighted cultivation.” Changxi also said.
Lu Wu strongly approved of his words, her ice-cold expression warming somewhat.
“Right, Lady Lu Wu, there is something I would like to consult with you.” Qi Lin asked.
“Speak.”
“How should the three of us go about using the Heavenly Ascension Pills to get to the Eastern Sea?” Qi Lin pondered how to use this Heavenly Ascension Pill.
Lu Wu had an expression of understanding as she realized why Qi Lin wanted the Heavenly Ascenion Pill. “You probably want to reach the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. It is a distance of trillions of li away from Western Kunlun. However, so long as you ingest the Heavenly Ascension Pill and imagine the landscape of the Eastern Sea, you can arrive there instantly.”
Knowing that Qi Lin had never been to the Eastern Sea before, Lu Wu turned her hand, and a coiling dragon-patterned mirror appeared.
This mirror was Lu Wu’s Destined magic treasure, the “Heaven-connecting Mirror.” This mirror could reflect the seven seas and five continents, a divine tool of the Nine Heavens. The Connecting Heaven Mirror glowed, and the glass displayed a vast ocean. This ocean was similar to the Western Sea, but its waters were azure, clean as the sky as though the two were one.
The seascape flit by, turning into an archipelago with cities, hills, mountains, forests, and secret realms.
Qi Lin watched carefully, unwilling to miss even a single detail.
Very quickly, Lu Wu stowed the Heaven-connecting Mirror.
“This mirror displayed the vicinity of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Ascend there, and you can probably find it.
“Thank you, Lady Lu Wu. If fate wills it, Your Servant will definitely repay you for this favor.” Qi Lin cupped his fist and subtly promised to meet again.
Lu Wu pondered a moment but said nothing. She turned and entered Kunlun Mountain, her presence no more.
“Big Brother, let’s hurry to the Eastern Sea.” Sun Wukong was impatient. She was already loathing this damned staff in her hand. Though the Meteoric Iron Divine Staff was constructed from Meteoric Iron and was considered a sharp weapon, it was not as comfortable to use as her own Destined Divine Weapon. With the Ruyi Jingu Bang, she would not need to fear future clashes with Yang JIan.
“Don’t rush.” Qi Lin consoled her. “We still have one more thing to do.”
Qi Qi was confused. The siblings had gone through numerous ordeals to reach the Eastern Sea. Now that it was right in front of them, she was not sure why her big brother was suddenly not in a rush.
“The trip to the Eastern Sea will be fraught with danger. Is Brother Qi Lin preparing to refine the Immortality Peach then go?” Changxi guessed his intentions.
Qi Lin said: “Changxi, you also need to refine the power of the Mother Moon Xianyao. If we charge into the Eastern Sea recklessly right now, bad things are bound to happen.” Lu Wu said just now that this was the vicinity of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas were currently the rulers of Primordial World’s oceans. Although they were not as powerful as they once were to be called sea gods, being in the territory of the Dragon Palaces was very troublesome.
Since they already obtained the Heavenly Ascension Pill, he did not mind waiting a few more days.
…
Great Primordial Eastern Sea, boundless, a trillion li.
The Eastern Continent was Primordial World’s most bountiful land, prosperous and abundant, and its Eastern Sea was also a place of plenty. The Eastern Sea spanned trillions of li, and it produced special crystals.; its Eastern Sea Dragon-marked Coins were manufactured from these crystals and were very valuable. In the Eastern Sea, there were nine hundred million islands, more than a million towns, and the population numbered more than a billion.
Dragon King Town was the Eastern Sea’s most famous, spanning over ten thousand hectares, a majestic scale.
It was the closest to the Dragon Palace, and it was known by everyone as a blessed land. The number of cultivators who traveled to and from Dragon King Town were innumerable.
Dragon King Town was under control of the “Yu”1 and “Fan”2 families, who vied very fiercely for control over Dragon King Town’s neighboring properties. Their scions were also hateful of each other, however, ever since the Yu Family’s patriarch, Yu Wu, stepped into God Transformation Six Paths and entered secluded cultivation, the Fan Family’s matriarch Madam Fan quickly led the family out in seizing territory.
Madam Fan revered the Eastern Sea and would often hold ceremonies to it, to express her gratitude to the Divine Name of the Eastern Sea Dragon King for her protection.
On this day.
There were seven days until Dragon King Town’s “Dragon King Day,” and Madam Fan was leading the Fan Family disciples out of the city to the “Leaping Dragon Cliff” near the Eastern Sea for a ritual. The Fan Family’s hundred disciples and generations of bloodlines were all standing respectfully. Outside of the ceremony, a thousand cultivators and the town’s citizens had come watch the ceremony.
The majority of the cultivators were here on account of its reputation, but they were not sure why it was so grand.
Madam Fan’s hair was completely silver, yet she retained a beautiful figure and a mature charm. Although she was the head of the Fan Family and was several centuries old, she showed no signs of advanced age. Only the crow’s feet around the corner of her eyes hinted to her age. Madam Fan was already Primordial Infant Seven Stars and had reached Primordial Infant Late Stage Realm. In Dragon King Town, Madam Fan stood on a high platform, uttering incantations while the Fan Family’s Four Protectors waved flags. Beams of blue light poured into the sea of Leaping Dragon Cliff.
Madam Fan activated the two magic treasures she was most proud of, the “Dragon Victory Pot” and the “Dragon Victory Plate.”
The Dragon Victory Pot poured a crystal stream into the sea.
The Dragon Victory Plate spun, emitting a bright light.
After the incantation, the calm sea suddenly erupted, and a nearly two meter long carp leapt out of the sea. This carp was white as snow, its scales bright as mirrors. It grew two long whiskers, its build was gargantuan, and at first glance, it was like a leaping dragon.
All of a sudden, it astounded all of the people on Leaping Dragon Cliff.
“Is this the legendary ‘White Dragon Carp?’ So massive.”
“Are you new here? In case you didn’t know, a White Dragon Carp comes to the foot of the cliff every year, so this cliff came to be known as the Leaping Dragon Cliff. Legend says that if this White Dragon Carp is able to leap over the cliff, it can become a dragon. It’s quite amazing.”
“To think there is actually something so good.”
“What do you mean, good. Do you think this White Dragon Carp is an ordinary Demon Beast? It is a Primordial Strange species, a Rank Five Demon Beast also known as the ‘Blue Birdlime.'”
“This carp is actually a Rank Five Demon Beast?”
A Rank Five Demon Beast was able to use abilities comparable to a cultivator’s and was between Primordial Infant Late Stage and God Transformation Realm.
“In the end, Madam Fan caught the Blue Birdlime again this year. Seems they will prevail again in the martial arts contest against the Yu Family and seize another property.”
Some people familiar with the inside details began muttering.
The Blue Birdlime, also known as the White Dragon Carp, had obtained the essence of the Eastern Sea. Its flesh and viscera were all nourishing, and its Demon Core was also a treasure. After the Blue Birdlime leapt out from the surface of the water, it immediately showed a sinister appearance, with menacing quills and a demonic visage. All of its scales secreted a glue-like substance that congealed seawater and divine light. This was the Blue Birdlime’s ability, that it was able to adhere all objects in its surroundings. If that object was prey, it would be immediately hunted, but Madam Fan was already aware of this. The Four Great Law Protectors activated their banner formation.
Lady Fu’s Dragon Victory Plate at this time fell to the Blue Birdlime’s lower body and suddenly increased in size to two meters. The Dragon Victory Plate released a peculiar glow. In everyone’s eyes, it seemed like the Blue Birdlime was being roasted on the plate, a delectable scene.
“The Dragon Victory Pot can draw the Blue Birdlime from the sea while the Dragon Victory Plate can cook the white carp’s flesh. Ever since Madam Fan obtained these two treasures, the Fan Family has already become unstoppable.”
“Even if the pitiful Yu Family’s head enters God Transformation Realm, he would not be a match.”
Everyone enviously stared at the Fan Family’s disciples. Each and every one the disciples stood tall and were incomparable proud.
“Demon Beast, you still resist!”
Madam Fan shouted like thunder.
The Dragon Victory Plate’s divine light burned, and under Madam Fan and the Primordial Infant cultivators’ magical energy, the Blue Birdlime was finally unable to last any longer, its struggle growing increasingly weak. The “birdlime” ability was also being dissolved. Just as the Blue Birdlime was about to fall into the plate, all of a sudden, there was an anomaly.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered over the Leaping Dragon Cliff, and thunder boomed, as if the heavens were enraged. An enormous magical energy twisted space apart like a giant meat grinder.
“Shattered Void?!!!”
The magical energy of the Shattered Void shocked Madam Fan, and Leaping Dragon Cliff was immediately flooded with wind and thunder, making everyone run for cover.
Under the power of the twisting space, Madam Fan’s magic treasures could not be maintained. As they were about to be crushed by this space, she had no choice but to recall them. This gave the Blue Birdlime a chance to escape. It became a white beam as it attempted to flee, but two people immediately appeared in the shattered space.
A handsome young man gasped as he spotted the ragged White Dragon Carp. A banner flew forth and smoothly refined the fish.
The Blue Birdlime had just escape the tiger’s jaws only to fall into a wolf’s den. It struggled briefly before vanishing into the void.
A moment later, the wind and thunder stopped, and the Leaping Dragon Cliff finally regained its calm.
A man and woman stood out like sore thumbs in the sky.
“This is Shattered Void, one that ascends Three Realms.”
The pair surveyed everyone present with shocked expressions greeting them.

Also, #MORE LOVE FOR QI QI!
Step right out of a portal and catch a very valuable fish. I’d say this is a great omen for Qi Lin & co. 🙂
