Chapter 1207: Chapter 52: The Grand Banquet (Part 1)

Though seating was naturally a matter to vie for, even the Huai Xu Martial Artists would not resort to direct confrontations at the Dragon Clan banquet. At most, they would let their Law Domains clash momentarily and determine victory or defeat in an instant. Thus, the keen Martial Artists could hear the continuous sound of Law Domains colliding, akin to muffled thunder.

“Can’t be bothered to fight for it, let’s just find a place to sit.”

He whispered, and Hui Tianyu, sharing the same thought, found a table to the west, near the Ancient Dragon God’s seat, together with a dragon, and sat down, being quite low-profile.

On the table were Jade Liquid and numerous Spirit Fruits, which could be replaced with other varieties simply by sweeping your Divine Sense and calling for the maids to replenish them at any time.

For the Divine Repository Martial Artists, these were all excellent supplements that could bolster their Yuan Qi. Normally, even dragons rarely used them first. Gu Yujing took a sip from his cup and immediately felt Water Spirit flowing, refreshing like the waves of the Ice Sea, and sighed with emotion, “Being in a human body is indeed good. If it were a dragon body, I’m afraid this cup wouldn’t feel like anything at all.”

Thinking this, he took a Scarlet Fruit and tossed it into his mouth, which transformed into incomparably pure Life Essence upon entering, nourishing his organs and blood vessels.

Gu Yujing was quite restrained, while someone like Yu Feng had already started gobbling up without a word—he wasn’t afraid of being labeled a bumpkin, as the Melting Furnace Skill required various high-grade Spirit Foods, the more he ate, the stronger he became, making the Scale Inspection Trial that much easier afterward.

Compared to actual benefits, face was hardly worth considering.

Hui Tianyu, on the other hand, wasn’t focused on the food and drinks. Though he held a cup of Ice Sea Nectar in his hand, his gaze swiftly scanned over those in attendance who were worth paying attention to: “Goodness, quite a lot of people have come… among the younger generation, all who meet the conditions have arrived.”

The so-called younger generation wasn’t truly young, but rather those who were part of the core true lineages under the actual power holders of each Great Sect.

Among them, figures like Zhang Junxuan, who was originally the chief true heir of the Shangxuan Sect, and Mingguang Dust of the Bright Mirror Sect, who had ascended to Manifesting Holy and had thus left the younger generation, were replaced by An Jing.

In the current younger generation, An Jing was naturally the first, followed by other divine repository disciples of the Heavenly Ancestor Sects.

On the Ten Directions Dao List, among the young generation, Hui Tianyu thought he might rank among the top ten or top twenty, but without actual combat results, it was hard to determine the specific ranking.

“The Shangxuan Sect has arrived, and it’s actually Zhang Junxuan leading them… the Lianxuan Wanhua Zhen Dao didn’t come, seems they’re still devotedly focused on their conflict with the Shangxuan Sect.”

At this moment, as his thoughts flowed, Hui Tianyu surveyed the scene and quickly identified key targets: “Yue Qingge of the Sword Court is here, Feng Tuanxin of the Heavenly Mother Palace is also present… with myself included, that makes four Heavenly Ancestor Sects’ chiefs and other true heirs…”

“However, I haven’t seen Star-picking Mountain or the Longevity Sect. Milo Heaven isn’t here either. Strange, I remember the Jingming Sect was supposed to send someone—where are they?”

Though he hadn’t found the people from the Jingming Sect, Hui Tianyu wasn’t surprised, as this group had time perception issues; being late was common due to their compulsive demon-slaying tendencies.

Even so, the result left him extremely astonished: “I haven’t seen anyone from the Emperor Chen Dynasty either—huh, really? Among the Ten Heavenly Sects, only five have shown up?”

“Because of the presence of the Nature Master, all eligible young divine repositories are here, and I’ve seen seventy or eighty from the Upper Gate. Why have only half of the Heavenly Ancestor Sects shown up?”

Not entirely comprehending the situation, Hui Tianyu, puzzled, began attempting to find the ‘Heavenly Mandate,’ which he theoretically could identify at a glance despite not knowing personally.

He indeed found it quickly.

And then, his eyes widened.

Because Hui Tianyu found not only the Nature Master… but also the representative of the Emperor Chen Dynasty.

“An Jing, and Mingjing. Long time no see.”

Closest to the Present Dragon God’s seat, An Jing was seated alongside You Ruhui. The young man appeared composed, while the young girl watched nervously and warily as the elegantly dressed middle-aged man smiled and greeted them.

This couldn’t be blamed on You Ruhui.

For the one appearing before her was one of the Da Chen Town Princes, an incarnate manifestation of the Supreme Saint of the Virtuous King Xuan Guangge of the North!
