Chapter 28: The Mu Family's banquet attracts congratulations from all directions.
The mountains awaken, and morning clouds emerge from the valleys!
In the heart of the Tianlan Domain lies a majestic giant city, sprawling across tens of thousands of miles like a coiled dragon and crouching tiger.
This giant city is called Fufeng City.
Its master is none other than one of the most supreme forces of the present day—the Chang Sheng Mu Family!
With Fufeng City as the center, all cultivators in the Tianlan Domain regard it as a holy land!
Early in the morning, the vast Fufeng City was already bustling with activity.
Countless cultivators took to the streets, occasionally looking up at the sky or gathering in the direction of the Mu family.
They knew that today was a significant day!
Not long ago, the Absolute Spirit Sword Body was born, with its sword light striking the ninth heaven above and slaying the abyss below, causing a stir across several major domains!
The Chang Sheng Mu Family was thrilled!
Such a momentous event naturally warranted a celebration with guests from all directions.
And today was the day of the Mu family banquet.
One could imagine that before long, numerous earth-shaking figures would arrive from all over to offer congratulations to the Mu family.
Even many Holy Ancestor-level beings would appear in person!
Thus, many cultivators stood by, hoping to catch a glimpse of some Holy Ancestor's peerless demeanor!
Indeed.
As the sun had just risen a bit, figures began to appear in the distant sky, flying into the city from all directions.
Each one carried with them an overwhelming momentum, stirring the void!
"The Red Flame Sect! I see people from the Red Flame Sect!"
"Those coming by sword, could they be from the Spirit Sword Villa?"
"And there's the Nether Moon Valley!"
The crowd in the city quickly recognized members from one prestigious sect after another.
These forces were all first-class sects within the Tianlan Domain, dominating their respective areas with great fame!
For the Mu family's banquet, they naturally came early to offer their congratulations.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, these figures all headed towards the Mu family.
"Li Changhe from the Biyan Sect comes to congratulate the Chang Sheng Mu Family on the birth of the Absolute Spirit Sword Body!"
"Zhao Zhishan from the Shen Gang Sect congratulates the Chang Sheng Mu Family on the Absolute Spirit Sword Body!"
"Yun Qingyan from the Falling Phoenix Palace wishes the Chang Sheng Mu Family for producing another true dragon!"
One by one, strong individuals announced their presence with loud and clear congratulations.
In front of the grand and imposing Mu family mansion, a middle-aged man greeted them with a broad smile.
Watching the continuous stream of guests, he felt an immense sense of pride.
The emergence of the Absolute Spirit Sword Body brought honor to the entire Mu family!
"Please, everyone, take your seats inside. If our hospitality is lacking, I hope you'll forgive us!"
The middle-aged man said with a laugh.
Then, under the guidance of a group of servants, these forces were led into the mansion.
However, they were seated in the side hall of the Chang Sheng Mu Family.
Within the Mu family estate, there was also a main hall, vast and splendid!
In front of the main hall, thick pillars made from divine wood shone brilliantly under the morning sun, like lustrous gemstones!
Only those with the highest cultivation, Holy Ancestors, or members from ancient holy lands, immortal great teachings, or longevity families were qualified to sit here.
Many eyes from the side hall gazed enviously towards the main hall.
Everyone wanted to be among the strongest, receiving the highest honors.
But just as people's thoughts were swirling, a tremendous sound came from the distant sky.
The entire Fufeng City shook!
In an instant, all the cultivators in the city were alerted.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Accompanied by the loud rumbling, a magnificent carriage appeared high above in the sky.
This carriage was pulled by twelve strong Lin horses.
Each Lin horse was covered in shimmering golden scales, with white manes framing their heads, and a single horn pointing skyward like a divine weapon!
The enormous carriage was adorned with divine gold and jade, with ribbons woven from the fur of unknown spiritual beasts, exuding an aura of divinity!
The twelve Lin horses moved their hooves, pulling the carriage through the void with a thunderous sound!
The divine gold and jade on the carriage clinked and clanged, sounding like the melody of the Great Dao.
"That is... the Snow Scaled Unicorns, it's the carriage of the Jinghong Emperor!"
"The Jinghong Emperor! It's the Emperor of the Jinghong Divine Dynasty!"
"He came personally?"
The crowd in the city immediately erupted into an uproar.
The Jinghong Divine Dynasty was also a colossus among the Three Thousand Dao Domains, ruling over countless miles of land and people!
The Jinghong Emperor himself had long reached the realm of Holy Ancestor!
He was a peerless monarch who had reigned for over a hundred thousand years and was at his peak!
What no one expected was that for the Mu family's banquet, the Jinghong Emperor would come in person!
One could imagine how much this formidable monarch valued the Absolute Spirit Sword Body.
Unfortunately, the surroundings of the grand carriage were veiled, obscuring the view of the Jinghong Emperor's majesty and any others within the carriage.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
Just as everyone was still in shock, the void suddenly began to tremble terrifyingly.
Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it caused vast ripples!
Terrifying ripples spread, sweeping the heavens, causing the void to collapse into nothingness!
Amidst the chaos, several figures appeared, old and young.
Leading them was a middle-aged man, broad-shouldered and muscular.
He was tall and imposing, holding a blood-red giant axe, looking like a god or demon standing between heaven and earth!
This was a man in his forties, with a rugged appearance and muscles like twisted cords.
His sharp eyes surveyed the scene like an eagle or wolf, exuding an extraordinary martial spirit!
Invisibly, an overwhelming pressure emanated from him, causing the void to tremble and hum.
Many eyes fell upon this figure, feeling an involuntary shiver in their hearts!
"Su Kuangren, the Sect Master of the Overlord Sect, he's here too!"
"This newly ascended Holy Ancestor has also come in person!"
"Such a formidable presence! The aura of the Mad Saint Ancestor is too strong!"
The crowd was buzzing.
Many showed thick adoration in their eyes.
Su Kuangren had only ascended to the position of Holy Ancestor a few hundred years ago.
But legends about him were widespread in many parts of the Great Wilderness.
The Overlord Sect was originally just an ordinary force.
However, through Su Kuangren's sole effort, over thousands of years, he achieved the status of Holy Ancestor, elevating the entire Overlord Sect!
If nothing unexpected happened, the Overlord Sect would likely become a holy land in the future!
"Splash, splash..."
Amidst the discussions, the void continued to ripple.
Then, one figure after another came through the spatial channels.
An old man with several youths and maidens appeared, causing the crowd to exclaim!
"Fu Wanqing, the Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Sect, Holy Ancestor Wanqing!"
"He's brought his disciples as well!"
Suddenly, endless purple qi spread across the horizon.
A young-looking man with white hair flowing down his back arrived, stepping on waves.
This man wore a light-colored robe, his sleeves fluttering, resembling an immortal.
Several youthful figures followed behind him.
"Chu Feixian, the Flying Immortal Saint Ancestor!"
"Even the reclusive Wen Xian Sect has come?"
Everyone in the city widened their eyes.
Their gazes couldn't help but be captivated by the figure exuding an immortal aura.
Just then, the sound of drums came from beyond the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The drums were deafening, rolling with an overwhelming momentum, carrying an aura of slaughter, breaking through the heavens!
The whole world was filled with this boundless, terrifying energy.
Amidst this killing intent, several hundred armored warriors stepped out from the void.
Each one walked on air.
The combined aura of these warriors was not much weaker than that of a true Holy Ancestor!
Under the protection of these warriors, a gigantic black tiger, ten zhang tall, gradually revealed itself.
A man in his thirties, wearing a tall crown, sat atop the tiger, looking noble and unapproachable!
"Dark Sky Tiger! The Nie Long Guards!"
"It's Emperor Wushuang, the younger brother of the Emperor of the Fu Long Divine Dynasty!"
"Is the War King representing the Fu Long Emperor at the banquet?"
"That's the legendary Nie Long Guards! Their battle formation can rival a Holy Ancestor!"
"And the Dark Sky Tiger, said to be on the verge of becoming a holy beast!"
Fufeng City was in an uproar.
The arrival of these strong individuals excited them.
But this was not the end.
As time passed and the sun rose higher, by noon, more terrifying figures arrived.
These were characters one rarely got to see.
Yet today, they all came one after another.
"Zhang Wanli from the Lian Shan Sect, comes to congratulate the Mu family on the birth of the Absolute Spirit Sword Body!"
"Huan Chu Holy Land, congratulates the Mu family on producing another peerless prodigy!"
"The Mu family's true dragon has emerged, and I, the Chang Sheng Ji Family, must come to share a drink!"
One voice after another echoed through the void, all congratulating the Mu Family.
And each of these speakers was a dominant figure in their own domain!
People in the city even started counting, and at least ten Holy Ancestors had arrived at the Mu family!
Such grandeur was truly unprecedented!
As these individuals arrived one by one, a hearty laugh came from deep within the Mu family.
"Hahaha..."
"The honor of your presence truly brightens my humble abode!"
As the laughter rang out, Mu Nantian, the head of the Mu family, soared into the sky to personally welcome them.
Behind Mu Nantian, a boy of seven or eight followed him step by step.
When the numerous heaven-defying figures saw this boy, their eyes couldn't help but narrow sharply.
They clearly saw this young, yet imposing figure standing tall, like a sword pointed at the sky!
Endless sword intent enveloped him, making him seem like an unparalleled sword deity!
In the void around him, the laws of heaven and earth, the true meanings of the Great Dao, were all in disarray under the cut of this terrifying sword intent!
