Practice begins with immortality

The water realm is filled with vast expanses of water, but surprisingly, it does not appear dark or gloomy at all. Instead, it is as bright as day and dazzling.

This is because the Dragon Palace uses a giant star called the "Ocean Moon" as its light source, illuminating the entire Water Realm. Simply put, it's a street lamp, except it's a magical weapon crafted from the stars. Across the vast Water Realm, similar "street lamps" are numerous, scattered throughout.

After a strenuous half-hour of rapid flight, a magnificent palace, like a glittering pearl, suddenly appeared before the three of them. The palace was magnificent and majestic, its walls towering into the clouds and incredibly sturdy, constructed entirely of rare and precious gems and vibrant corals! The gems and corals shimmered with a dazzling brilliance, so dazzling that even from a hundred miles away, the brilliance could still be clearly seen.

Although this is a temporary palace, judging from its exterior, its size is actually comparable to the capital of the ancient Sui Han Kingdom where Wang Bo lived. In such a contrast, one can't help but sigh at the huge gap between the two.

This palace was undoubtedly the Dragon Prince's residence, and the most important venue for this banquet. Only the most powerful and prestigious of the invited guests were eligible to enter; lesser guests would be accommodated elsewhere.

After entering the palace, the three of them felt as if they had arrived in a sea of ​​stars.

"The artificial sea of ​​stars is quite romantic."

Seeing this, Wang Bai immediately took a step forward. As Wang Bai took a step forward, the surrounding scenes quickly retreated behind him.

The next moment, they arrived on a star. To be more precise, a world with a round sky and a square earth.

Here, with its magnificent buildings and mist-shrouded wonders, the place exudes an air of immortality. A grand banquet of immortals and gods is about to be held.

The banquet venue was set atop a sky-high island, its ground paved with white jade, as smooth as a mirror. The island was filled with white jade tables, laden with a variety of immortal wines and delicacies. The celestial aura emanating from it alone was enough to make one feel their cultivation level rise slightly.

At this moment, many people have arrived on the island. Among them are many human cultivators, but even more are demon cultivators with animal heads and human bodies.

Upon seeing this, Wang Bai and the other two handed the storage magic weapon containing the gifts to the maid of Dragon Palace, then found a seat and sat down.

"It seems like coming to the Dragon Palace for this banquet was a good decision!" Sa Yuanqian said excitedly, "This immortal wine alone is no ordinary item. In the outside world, it would be worth at least ten thousand gold coins."

"I just don't know what kind of magical ingredients are used to brew it."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is brewed with the essence of the Crimson Cloud Immortal Fruit, supplemented with pure moonlight and a thousand kinds of spiritual herbs. I won't mention the thousand kinds of spiritual herbs," Wang Bai explained. Having read so many books, his eyesight had naturally improved greatly.

"I never thought Immortal Fellow Leng would be so knowledgeable," Zhu Fufu praised him, then said with deep emotion, "You know, this Crimson Cloud Immortal Fruit is no ordinary spiritual object. It takes a full three thousand years for it to bloom and bear fruit until it reaches full maturity. And generally speaking, a Crimson Cloud Immortal Tree can only produce a hundred or so fruits at most. However, to brew a jar of this much immortal wine, you need at least fifty or sixty immortal fruits! This shows just how wealthy the Dragon Palace is!"

At this moment, Sa Yuanqian, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly interrupted, "Actually, the most important part of this banquet is the lecture. To be honest, I've been doing some research. From what I've heard, there will be several masters who have reached the fourth level of calamity coming to give lectures at this banquet. Among them are masters of the Five Elements Dao and powerful masters of the Sword Dao. And all of them come from prestigious and reputable sects."

At this point, Sa Yuanqian paused briefly before continuing, "Like Immortal Fellow Leng's practice of the Three Wonders, and Immortal Fellow Zhu's focus on the Metal and Stone Dao, both are encompassed by the Five Elements Dao. As for me, the cultivation method I'm practicing happens to contain the essence of the Sword Dao. Therefore, this lecture will undoubtedly bring great benefits to the three of us. Perhaps we can comprehend some subtle techniques and further enhance our own strength."

Time slipped away like this, an hour passing by in the blink of an eye. During this time, the crowds bustled, coming and going, and many more figures arrived one after another. These newcomers were generally all renowned True Immortals.

Just as everyone waited anxiously, the previously calm sky suddenly erupted in a turbulent storm. A black cloud, as dark as ink, rapidly gathered. Immediately afterwards, two deafening dragon roars echoed through the heavens, leaving everyone's heart pounding. Above the sky, two black dragons, one large and one small, suddenly appeared. They coiled and swirled with such force that they seemed to tear the entire world apart.

"It's the Xuanqing Dragon King and the Dragon Prince!" Someone exclaimed first, instantly breaking the silence. Everyone looked up, their faces filled with awe. As the cry rang out, the two dragon figures plummeted like meteors, approaching the ground in the blink of an eye.

As they approached, everyone could clearly see that the two dragon figures had transformed into human forms. Leading the group was a middle-aged man with a dragon head and a human body. He was a burly man with muscular torsos, exuding a powerful aura of authority without even anger. Next to him was a handsome young man with dragon horns. His features were exquisite, his eyebrows sharp, his eyes sparkling. His black robes fluttered in the wind, adding to his heroic demeanor.

However, before anyone could recover from the shock of these two figures, two more figures descended from the sky. One was draped in a massive black cloak, tightly covering her from head to toe, making it impossible to glimpse her true features. The other was a stunningly beautiful young woman in gorgeous palace attire. Her graceful figure, skin as white as cream, and eyes as bright as a radiant light made her look like a fairy descending from the earth, captivating everyone.

After a while, Xuanqing Dragon King spoke from the main seat: "My fellow immortals, I have a distinguished guest to personally receive, so I've taken up some extra time. I hope you will forgive me."

"No, no, it's just a small matter after all."

"But, speaking of which, what kind of person is it that the Dragon King can personally receive him?"
