Chapter 3487: Great Dao Realm Beings Gather

The Beast Emperor!

All the ninth-level elders stood up respectfully, each paying their respects.

"Why has the Beast Emperor come!"

"The road from the Northern Continent to here isn't short. What is the Beast Emperor coming here specifically for?"

"Didn't you hear? The Beast Emperor said 'Congratulations on your return, fellow Daoist'. Who could be called a fellow Daoist by the Beast Emperor?"

The young people sitting on the lower level knew about the Beast Emperor, but their understanding of him was far less profound than these ninth-level elders.

Only those who had truly reached the ninth level and achieved the peak would know that between the Dao Venerable realm and the Great Dao realm, though only one step apart, the difference was like that between heaven and earth.

The Beast Emperor alone could suppress all the ninth-level elders present.

The beast race had ten royal clans, and ninth-level elders were not few, but they still obediently prostrated themselves before the Beast Emperor. There was no choice; their strength was no longer on the same level.

Suddenly, an elder said in a low voice, "Does this mean that we humans of the Southern Continent also have such an existence now?"

This sentence wasn't loud, but it made all the elders' hearts race.

The Northern Continent had the Beast Emperor, the Eastern Continent had the Three Ancestors, the Western Continent had Withering and Flourishing Elder, and the Boundary Sea had the King of the Boundary Sea.

In their Southern Continent, among the mighty human race, there had never been a Great Dao realm being who could stand shoulder to shoulder with these figures. It had always been a deficiency.

But now, they suddenly had one.

Some elders realized that the problem the Ancient Lotus Holy Land had solved must be related to this.

"Is it the ancestor of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land?"

"It's very likely. The Ancient Lotus Holy Land is extremely ancient. If they have a Great Dao realm being among them, it's not impossible."

"If the Ancient Lotus Holy Land truly has a Great Dao realm being presiding over it, it's not a bad thing for our Southern Continent."

"If our Southern Continent really has a Great Dao realm being, it's best if it's from the Ancient Lotus Holy Land. At least they don't have much interest in power."

The ninth-level elders each had their own thoughts, everyone with their own ideas.

The Beast Emperor's mist came closer and closer. A celestial lotus appeared in the sky above the Ancient Lotus Holy Land, blooming with ten thousand rays of colorful light, illuminating the entire Ancient Lotus Holy Land.

On the celestial lotus stood a fairy facing the wind. She was peerlessly beautiful and incomparably charming, yet standing there she was like a sacred lotus that could not be defiled.

Some people felt that even looking at her for an extra moment was a kind of blasphemy.

The voice of the Ancient Lotus ancestor slowly transmitted: "Beast Emperor, you've come from afar. Ximoon has been remiss in not welcoming you. Please don't take offense."

The Beast Emperor laughed heartily: "Fellow Daoist Ximoon has been sleeping for many years. Being able to return successfully is a great joy. Fellow Daoist Ximoon shouldn't blame me for coming late."

It was only then that Lin Moyu learned that the Ancient Lotus ancestor was named Ximoon.

Moreover, it seemed that she and the Beast Emperor were old acquaintances. The Beast Emperor also knew that she had been in a deep sleep. It's likely that the Beast Emperor had tried to find her before, but just couldn't.

"Does the Beast Emperor mean to say that this old man came even later?" A thick, deep voice sounded, and then a phantom image appeared in the sky.

The phantom was hazy and indistinct, its true appearance unclear, as if not in this world. But the pressure it emitted made people unable to breathe.

The Beast Emperor was still smiling: "If you want to think of it that way, this Emperor has no choice."

The Ancient Lotus ancestor smiled: "That the Three Ancestors could come, Ximoon is already overwhelmed with the honor. There's no early or late!"

The ninth-level elders exclaimed in low voices: "The Three Ancestors have come too!"

"I didn't expect the Three Ancestors would come as well. Now only Withering and Flourishing Elder and that one from the Boundary Sea are left."

"Yes, but those two are somewhat mysterious. They definitely won't come."

"Who knows? They might be mysterious to us, but among fellow Great Dao realm beings, how mysterious can they be?"

Lin Moyu suddenly looked into the distance. A black shadow was flying from the far horizon, shaped like a whale. It was the King of the Boundary Sea.

The black whale swept across the sky, and a voice like thunder sounded, "Ximoon, I've come late. Don't blame me!"

Ximoon hurriedly said: "Brother Black is joking. Your coming is already giving Ximoon face."

The black whale flew into the celestial lotus, rapidly shrinking, and finally transformed into a man in black robes.

The ninth-level elders said in low voices: "It's the King of the Boundary Sea. He really came too."

"Now only Withering and Flourishing Elder is left. I wonder if he will come."

"Who knows? Withering and Flourishing Elder rarely appears. He might not come."

Lin Moyu knew that Withering and Flourishing Elder wouldn't be able to come. Now, the four remaining Great Dao realm beings on the Origin Continent were all here.

Everyone had arrived. Next was the start of the banquet.

Today's Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet was unprecedented. Originally, there were only upper and lower levels, but now it had become three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

The lower level was for disciples, the middle level for the ninth-level elders, and the upper level for the few Great Dao realm beings.

At this moment, the Beast Emperor's voice suddenly sounded, "Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you come up and sit with us?"

The King of the Boundary Sea also chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Lin, come up quickly. There's still a place up here."

Ximoon said in a clear voice, "I hope Fellow Daoist Lin can give Ximoon this face."

As they spoke, a ray of colorful light fell from the celestial lotus, coming before Lin Moyu, turning into a path to the heavens.

Lin Moyu chuckled lightly: "Then Lin shall respectfully comply."

He instructed Little Mei to eat well here, then stepped onto the colorful light, following it into the celestial lotus.

Lin Moyu's departure left everyone stunned.

No one had expected that the Great Dao realm beings would take turns inviting Lin Moyu, treating him as an equal.

Obviously, Lin Moyu was also an old acquaintance to them, and they treated him as a peer.

For a moment, countless people were speculating about Lin Moyu's identity, wondering why someone at the fifth level of Dao Venerable could be treated as an equal by Great Dao realm beings.

But no matter how they guessed, they couldn't possibly figure it out even if they racked their brains.

Elder Dream Landscape's eyes flickered. He began to seriously consider Lin Moyu's suggestion. Should the Heavenly Phantom Holy Son really be replaced?

His lips moved slightly, suddenly transmitting a message to the Heavenly Phantom Holy Son, "Holy Son, tell this elder everything about that Fellow Daoist Lin."

He felt that Lin Moyu was definitely not so simple, and needed to be thoroughly understood.

After Lin Moyu left, his seat became empty. The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord naturally moved over, coming to Little Mei's side to take care of her.

A few seconds later, a clear voice sounded from the sky: "Let the banquet begin!"

The formation in the center was removed. In an instant, waves of rich fragrance wafted out, entering everyone's noses, permeating their blood, marrow, and souls.

Plates of delicacies and cups of fine wine automatically rose, slowly rotating in the air. Those who needed could take them freely.

The food at the Immortal Banquet was extremely abundant. When one batch was almost finished, new dishes would automatically appear. It was impossible to eat it all.

However, in this Immortal Banquet, many elders ate somewhat absentmindedly. They were thinking more about Lin Moyu's identity and his relationship with those Great Dao realm beings.

At the same time, they were also thinking about how to interact with the Ancient Lotus Holy Land now that it had a Great Dao realm being, and whether they should actively seek friendship.

In the current era, they knew all too well what a Great Dao realm being meant.

A single Great Dao realm being was enough to erase their holy lands and sects. Even the strongest powers were like child's play before a Great Dao realm being.

As elders, they had many things to consider.

The elders on the middle level weren't eating as heartily as those on the lower level, with two exceptions: Little Mei and Gu Hanjing, who were eating with great gusto.

Gu Hanjing couldn't be bothered to worry about these things. After all, she had three elders behind her.

Little Mei was even more carefree. She didn't need to manage anything, just focus on eating.

"Delicious, it's so delicious!" Little Mei ate with a beaming smile, already lost in enjoyment.
