Chapter 390 Peach Festival
A few days later, more and more cultivators came to Panwang City, and true immortals descended from time to time.

Almost every day, important figures arrive and the heaven and earth tremble slightly. Then, flowers rain down in the universe, golden crows fly across the sky, real phoenixes dance, and golden lotuses take root in the void.

This is the vision brought by the Immortal King’s arrival in Panwang City.

This Peach Festival will be attended by far more than one Immortal King. King Pan will invite all the major Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm to attend the event, so it is bound to be lively.

This kind of vision happened several times in a row during these few days. The dark universe was filled with golden lotuses, which made a harmonious sound and shocked the world.

Deep inside an immortal king’s cave inside Panwang’s residence, Zhang Shuo sat cross-legged on a cushion, breathing in and out the dense immortal energy, practicing the art of reincarnation and nirvana in his body, and comprehending the mystery of the cycle of life and death.

Zhang Shuo’s left hand breeds vitality, and his right hand gives birth to death. He draws a circle with both hands. Vitality and death first collide, and then gradually blend, and like the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, they rotate continuously. Life and death also transform into each other, forming a harmonious cycle.

After a moment, Zhang Shuo exhaled, took the power of life and death cycle back into his body, and ended this practice.

“It is indeed an Immortal King-level secret technique. The mysteries of life and death reincarnation contained in it are extremely profound. Fortunately, I have already cultivated the more difficult Willow Divine Technique to a very deep level, and have a certain understanding of the way of creation and nirvana, which can accelerate the speed of my comprehension of this Immortal King secret technique.”

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a green willow branch stretched out from the void, wrapped around Zhang Shuo’s waist, and pulled him into the space channel.

“Sister Liu Shen?”

Faced with the sudden willow branch, Zhang Shuo did not resist, but was also puzzled by the Willow God’s actions.

“I’ll show you the refining process of a top-level Immortal King weapon later. It should be of great help to you.”

As soon as Liu Shen’s voice transmission stopped, Zhang Shuo came to her side.

He looked around and found that they were in a vast starry world, surrounded by the sun, moon and stars. Countless stars converged into brilliant galaxies. The dazzling starlight illuminated the dark universe, which was magnificent.

“Boy Shuo, I knew you would come here.” Heihuang took small steps, stepped on the void, and came to Zhang Shuo’s side.

Zhang Shuo glanced at Hei Huang, then pointed to the magnificent city in the distance surrounded by endless stars and asked:
“Is that the Immortal King weapon that King Pan wants to refine?”

“That’s right, that’s the Immortal King weapon that King Pan wants to refine, and it’s also the future King Pan’s residence.

This Immortal King weapon is not ordinary. It is made of countless divine materials and immortal materials. It took two epochs just to collect the materials. It is said that many of the immortal materials were found from other ancient worlds and were not gathered until tens of thousands of years ago.

Afterwards, King Pan spent tens of thousands of years refining this immortal weapon before it took shape.

However, in order to fully realize this attack and defense integrated immortal king magic weapon, a crucial step is still needed. “

At this point, the Black King paused, looked at the backs of the tall figures in front of him, and then continued:

“The last step is for multiple Immortal Kings to work together and use several powerful Immortal King laws to help King Pan and refine the entire universe into this extremely powerful Immortal King magic weapon. In this way, we can get the Immortal King weapon that King Pan wants – the Universe Mountain and River Seal!”

After hearing what Hei Huang said, Zhang Shuo suddenly frowned and said with his mind: “Why does King Pan have to refine this Immortal King weapon? Even if the Universe Mountain and River Seal is very powerful, it will also carry a huge cause and effect.

It is not easy to repay the favors of the Immortal King. Each favor represents a huge cause and effect, which may affect the future path. Is it really worth paying such a heavy price?”

Hei Huang was stunned when he heard this. He was surprised at Zhang Shuo’s insight, but also a little hesitant.

He glanced at the calm Willow God. With the ability of the ancestral spirit, the telepathy between him and Zhang Shuo could definitely not be concealed. Even the Willow God was helping to cover up their conversation to prevent it from being heard by other Immortal Kings.

“The ancestral spirit didn’t stop me. Does she trust this disciple so much?” Black Emperor thought to himself and said:

“According to the calculations of the Immortal Kings, the boundary sea is very unstable and there is a high possibility of an unimaginable disaster. At that time, all the major universes will be in danger, and even the Immortal Kings will fall. Therefore, compared with the karma of being an Immortal King, increasing your strength is more important.

Moreover, as one of the oldest immortal kings in the immortal realm, King Pan has a close relationship with all the kings in the immortal realm and will not owe anyone a favor.

In general, apart from the karma he owes to Master Wuzhong and Master Zujiling, King Pan has no actual losses.”

“So that’s how it is. King Pan has been operating in the Immortal Realm for several epochs, so there must be a lot of Immortal Kings who owe him karma, and this is a good opportunity for them to repay it.

As for the primitive ancient world, the foreign land still needs Pan Wang and other fairyland kings to suppress it, and the cause and effect owed will naturally be offset.

In this way, although it may seem that inviting the kings to help would incur huge consequences, in reality there would be no loss at all.”

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuo couldn’t help but sigh that these top experts must have already calculated the interests of all parties and arranged everything appropriately.

“Everyone, please take action!”

Suddenly, King Pan’s voice was heard, Goddess Liu’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she stepped forward with her lotus feet, walking towards the direction of the giant city.

Afterwards, several Immortal Kings attacked together, the extremely powerful Immortal King laws roared, the brilliant immortal light exploded, and all the laws of the universe manifested.

In the chaotic mist, several tall and majestic figures that blocked out the sky walked out. They held the sun and the moon in their hands and plucked the stars. They refined the vast and boundless galaxies with the Immortal King Avenue, and then melted them into the magnificent city.

Under the influence of the power of the Immortal King, all matter in the entire universe was refined into the giant city, and then the void heaven and earth were captured, and all the laws of the universe were melted, and all the creations of a universe were melted into the Panwang Palace, forging a true seal of the universe and mountains and rivers.

Zhang Shuo calmed his mind and concentrated, his eyes flashing with chaotic light. He engraved every scene of refining the Seal of the Universe and Mountains into his mind. The Jade Disc of Creation in his body emitted nine colors of light, allowing him to clearly capture every rule of the Tao.

At this moment, his eyes could see all the laws of heaven and earth, including the mysteries of the laws of time, space, the five elements, yin and yang, heaven and earth, etc.

After a long time, Zhang Shuo’s eyes flashed with brilliance, his aura surged, and his cultivation level actually broke through the Immortal Forbidden Spell again, reaching the first level of escape.

“I didn’t expect that I would achieve a breakthrough in enlightenment this time. It’s such a pleasant surprise.” Zhang Shuo was pleasantly surprised as he felt the powerful force surging in his body.

“This kid actually broke through, but his aura is a bit strange, he has clearly just broken through, but his aura is extremely strong, as if he has already reached the perfection of the first level of escape.

As expected, this kid has a lot of secrets, and he is worthy of being the disciple chosen by Master Zujiling.”

Relying on his supreme True Immortal cultivation, Hei Huang felt the aura emanating from Zhang Shuo after his breakthrough, and thought to himself.

After the Universe Mountain and River Seal was successfully refined, Willow God returned to Zhang Shuo’s side. She glanced at Zhang Shuo, who had already broken through to the First Escape Realm, and smiled with satisfaction. “It’s time to go back.”

God Liu raised his hand and waved, a space channel opened, and then he took Zhang Shuo into it.

On the field, after Immortal King Wuzhong had a few words with King Pan, he also left with Black Emperor.

On the other side, a graceful figure watched Zhang Shuo leave and also turned and left.

—

Three days later, as melodious fairy music sounded, the entire Panwang City fell into jubilation, and the much-anticipated Peach Festival was about to begin.

In the sea of ​​the universe where Panwang City is located, golden lotuses of the Dao are planted one after another everywhere, illuminating the darkness. All the heavens and realms are roaring, and scriptures of the Dao are rising one after another, sacred and transcendent.

Many powerful people have arrived, they all come from the families of True Immortals, Immortal Kings, or ancient Taoist sects that are equivalent to them.

In addition, there was a terrifying aura of Immortal Kings coming out, and there was more than one. All kinds of strange phenomena shook the heaven and earth, and even made the sea of ​​the universe tremble slightly.

In the core area of ​​Panwang City, the former Panwang Mansion was removed and replaced by the newly refined Immortal King Artifact – the Universe Mountain and River Seal, and the mansion manifested by it.

In the palace, in a Peach Garden, the Peach Festival is in full swing.

The Pantao Garden was very large, with guests coming and going, and was very lively.

Here, row after row of peach trees are in bloom with pink flowers, the petals falling in all directions, and the light rain is extremely beautiful.

Some of the peach trees have old and strong trunks, like dragons, and are already full of fruits. The red peaches emit red clouds, carry a divine glow, and are fragrant.

These peach trees are all grown from the pits of the mother plant. Although they do not have the miraculous effects of the elixir of immortality, the fruits they produce also contain rich immortal substances and are also rare medicines.

The Peach Festival is a gathering of the strong. Those who can sit here are either the geniuses of the younger generation or the high-level officials of major forces, and each of them has a very important background.

They sat on the ground under a peach tree laden with fruits. In front of them was a jade table filled with fairy wine and delicacies. There was not a single mortal object in the place. Fairy mist was lingering, making it like a fairyland on earth.

Zhang Shuo, led by an attendant, sat in his exclusive seat.

This is the area where the First Escape Realm is located. Those who come here are all outstanding fairies. They are all geniuses and evildoers in the First Escape Realm.

Zhang Shuo took a look at the scene around him, then picked up a cup of nectar, ready to taste the legendary immortal wine.

However, before he could taste the immortal wine, he was interrupted by an unfamiliar voice.

“I heard that Master Zuji Ling has accepted a disciple. Could it be you? You look ordinary, and I don’t know what ability you have to sit at the same table with me.”

The person who spoke was a young man wearing a black robe with black and gold dragon patterns. He looked heroic, dignified, and walked like a dragon and a tiger, with the potential to be a Taoist emperor.

Zhang Shuo looked at the other person calmly and asked in confusion, “Where did this person come from? Don’t you know that it is very rude to disturb others drinking?”

“You…you are so presumptuous! I am Ao Lie from the Ao family. How dare you insult the Ao family? Even if you are a disciple of the ancestor spirit, you will never let me off!”

Ao Lie had a cold face, and his aura was as powerful as a dragon or a tiger. His body was filled with surging blood and energy, making him look like a peerless god of war.

“Your method of testing me is low-level, but your arrogance really annoys me. If you want to question whether I have the qualifications to sit here, you are not qualified.”

Zhang Shuo stared at the clown coldly. When he recalled the incident in the original novel where the God of Willow fought his way into the foreign land nine times and emerged nine times, suffering from severe injuries, and was surrounded and killed by the three immortal kings Ao Sheng, Tai Shi and Yuan Chu during Nirvana, he became furious and immediately felt murderous.

“Hmph! You are just a bluffing guy. Once the fight starts, I will expose your true colors.” Ao Lie sneered and said sarcastically.

“Alas! There are always people who don’t know how to live or die.” A gleam of light flashed in Zhang Shuo’s eyes. He slowly stood up and walked towards Ao Lie step by step.

In an instant, two invisible auras collided between the two of them, forming an inexplicable field, which caused a storm to rise in the surroundings, causing the crystal peach petals falling around to flutter, filling the sky with a sweet fragrance.

This scene looks beautiful, but it is extremely dangerous. The spread of the inexplicable field distorts the nearby void and turns this area into a restricted zone for life.

For a moment, the faces of the geniuses in the First Escape Realm all changed. They clearly felt the horror of this field. Any living creature below the First Escape Realm who rashly broke in would be crushed into powder!
In the field, Zhang Shuo put his hands in his pockets and slowly approached Ao Lie. His aura skyrocketed exponentially as the distance shortened, suppressing the opponent bit by bit.

Facing the approaching Zhang Shuo, Ao Lie’s expression became more and more ugly. His face turned ashen, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his muscles were tense, and his Taoism skills were pushed to the limit, but he was still unable to resist Zhang Shuo’s power.

He looked at Zhang Shuo with a cold face, and felt like he was looking up at an extremely fierce beast, as if he would be torn into pieces in the next moment. Terror and helplessness surged from the bottom of his heart, and his pride as a genius of the Ao family was completely crushed. The loss of his self-esteem and pride made him almost desperate.

“Tack, tick, tick…”

The sound of Zhang Shuo’s footsteps rang clearly in Ao Lie’s ears, and every step was a foreshadowing of the coming of death.

In the contest of momentum, he had already been defeated.

To him, every minute and every second under the pressure of that terrifying field was a great torture, as if he was in the depths of the Netherworld Purgatory. Every part of his flesh and blood was repeatedly ravaged, as if he was enduring the cruelest punishment in the world, which almost made him collapse physically and mentally.

“My dear friend, please be gentle with your feet. Today is a special day, and it is not easy for life and death to happen. Please wait for a moment, and all grudges can be settled on the ring.”

Just as Zhang Shuo was about to take the last step and prepare to end Ao Lie’s life, a divine message entered his ears.

“I understand.” Zhang Shuo retracted his steps and turned to walk towards his seat.

The old True Immortal from the Pan family who had just sent the message had no ill intentions and even stopped the True Immortal from the Ao family, giving him the opportunity to teach Ao Lie a lesson, so naturally he would not go too far.

After dealing with the troublemaker, the others became noticeably more obedient, at least they no longer dared to provoke him overtly or secretly.

But this also led to the fact that no one except the Pan family was willing to talk to him.

However, Zhang Shuo was also happy to be free. After all, their primitive ancient world and the fairyland were not of the same kind, and they had to have deep interactions.
