Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 600 - 330: A Thousand Sects Pay Homage, Old Friends Gather

"Ancient Spirit State, Ancient Spirit Sect, Third Supreme Elder Ji Feng, brings gifts to congratulate Great True Monarch Qichuan on his ascension and to congratulate the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect on reaching the stature of a Peak Strong Sect."

At the final stage, two rare guests arrived, causing all the guests present to be greatly astonished.

"What? It’s actually Snow Dragon Mountain and Ancient Spirit Sect, both sects of Peak Strong Sect caliber with Great True Monarchs in residence, who’ve also come to congratulate Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect?"

"This Ji Feng, as expected of someone from Ancient Spirit Sect, I can’t see through his cultivation at all; I estimate his Nascent Soul height and foundation are very strong, far surpassing mine!"

"This Ji Rui is even more terrifying, a Quasi-Great True Monarch; it’s said that only when the Nascent Soul height exceeds five inches nine can one be considered a Quasi-Great True Monarch!"

"Yet, these two powerhouses have come to pay respectful homage to Great True Monarch Qichuan!"

The hall was in an uproar with many guests.

Standing in the center of the hall, feeling the many gazes falling on him, Ji Feng’s expression was quite unpleasant.

The last time he came to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he was a strong figure, and with his Ancient Spirit Sect background, even Qingyun True Monarch and Qichuan had to show him great respect, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

However, this time he came, he stood in the hall like a lackey.

This contrast from before made him feel quite embarrassed and uncomfortable internally.

"But, I’m okay, compared to me, someone feels even worse..."

Fortunately, there was a comparison nearby.

Ji Feng glanced at Ji Rui beside him, with a slight sense of relief in his heart.

Ji Rui, like himself, also comes from a Peak Strong Sect, Snow Dragon Mountain.

Even his cultivation is much higher than mine, a Quasi-Great True Monarch, a powerhouse like my senior brother Jin Wuchen.

But even such a person came to Myriad Flowers Hall today to pay homage to Qichuan.

As long as he is here, the spotlight will always be on him, making him the most dazzling presence in the hall, not me.

Similarly, Ji Rui was also uncomfortable.

Especially when he felt Ji Feng’s gaze on him, with indeterminate meaning, he felt even worse inside.

He is a Quasi-Great True Monarch.

Yet, in such a scenario, his cultivation, which he had always been proud of, became a source of shame.

The key issue is that the last time he came to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, he was defeated in one move, leaving him with an unpleasant experience.

Now, it feels like history repeating.

He just wanted to finish his task quickly, return as soon as possible, and be rescued sooner.

On the hall, Qichuan’s lips curled into a faint smile, his eyes looking at Ji Feng and Ji Rui with indeterminate meaning.

These two are not simple.

Whether it is Snow Dragon Mountain or Ancient Spirit Sect, they both have some intertwining and entanglement with me and Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

If counted, it’s definitely grievances, not favors.

These two sects didn’t come to trouble me.

Instead, they sent the two to bring gifts and congratulate me, which is quite interesting.

Qichuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, one does not hit a smiling person.

When others bring gifts to congratulate me, if I act unfriendly, it would damage the face of Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.

"Snow Dragon Mountain and Ancient Spirit Sect are extraordinary, Peak Strong Sects, please take your seats," Qichuan said with a faint smile, gesturing invitingly.

Ji Rui and Ji Feng exchanged glances, maintaining a calm facade while feeling indignant inside as they walked to their seats.

Once seated, they remained composed, causing no trouble.

Even if Qichuan wanted to create a disturbance, he couldn’t find the opportunity.

Nascent Soul Level congratulations last only a day.

The day passed, hosts and guests enjoyed, and everyone departed one after another.

However, familiar old friends could stay a bit longer to chat.

Qichuan looked at the two in front of him, Chi Yue and Gong Yunrou, whose charming figures and elegant demeanor were quite outstanding, making one feel cheerful and improving one’s mood significantly.

"Fellow Daoist Chi Yue, Fellow Daoist Gong, I really didn’t expect you both to come all the way from Chaotic Demon Sea," Qichuan said with a smile.

"We are friendly sects and old friends, of course we had to come," Chi Yue said coolly, looking at Qichuan.

"Yes, yes, there’s no need to be so formal with us!" chimed in Gong Yunrou immediately.

"Earlier there were too many people, it wasn’t easy to talk much. It’s been a long time since you two visited Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Since you’re here, why not stay for a few days and experience the local customs?" Qichuan suggested.

"... Alright, the celebration is not yet over, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect should be quite lively..." Gong Yunrou paused, nodded, and agreed.

"And how about you, Fellow Daoist Chi Yue?" Qichuan looked towards Chi Yue.

"Chi Yue, you should stay too," Gong Yunrou tugged at Chi Yue’s red sleeve, whispering.

Chi Yue glanced at Qichuan, then at Gong Yunrou with a slight smile, shook her head, and said, "I have urgent matters to attend to back at Cyan Gang Sect, so I won’t stay."

"Fellow Daoist Qichuan, see you next time."

Chi Yue bid farewell.

"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Chi Yue has matters to attend to, I won’t insist, see you next time," Qichuan replied.

Bowing again to Qichuan, Chi Yue turned to leave, quickly transforming into a streak of light, disappearing at the skyline.

Gong Yunrou watched Chi Yue’s departure, slightly dazed.

"Come with me, I’ll show you the scenery of Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect..."

Qichuan said to Gong Yunrou with a smile.

...

After the grand ceremony, Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect returned to its usual calm.

However, beneath the calm, there was a fervent energy hidden.

Qichuan, meanwhile, continued his cultivation, honing his skills while also keeping an eye out for Tier Four Upper Grade alchemy materials.

After all, having advanced to Tier Four Upper Grade Alchemist, he needed Tier Four Upper Grade alchemy materials to refine elixirs to support his cultivation.

Two months later, Qichuan finally received news of Tier Four Upper Grade alchemy materials.

The news came from the Star Demon Tower of the Nebula Pavilion in Chaotic Demon Sea.

Indeed, it was Zhao Xuan from Star Demon Tower who delivered the message.

During these two months, although Qichuan hadn’t traveled to Chaotic Demon Sea, he kept in contact with Star Demon Tower.

When Zhao Xuan learned that Qichuan had ascended to the Great True Monarch Realm, he was greatly shocked.

Knowing that Qichuan intended to purchase some Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beasts, he paid special attention.

And within just two months, there was news.

"I’ve only just made my breakthrough not long ago."

"However, with my Nascent Soul height of eight inches one, solid Nascent Soul foundation, combined with the Sea Level Sword, new Sword Dao divine techniques, and Divine Soul Secret Techniques, even among Great True Monarchs, I am not weak."

"But Tier Four Upper Grade alchemy materials are exceptionally rare; if I miss this opportunity, it may not come again."

"Now that I have the chance, I might as well go and see, to seize the opportunity."

Qichuan thought to himself.

Having decided, Qichuan didn’t delay.

Leaving his Tier Four Cave Mansion, he transformed into an Escape Light, heading straight for Chaotic Demon Sea.

Chaotic Demon Sea, Feixing Island.

Qichuan once again entered Demon Hunting City and familiarly went to the central tower, the nine-layered Star Demon Tower, directly ascending to the ninth layer to meet Zhao Xuan again.

"I am Zhao Xuan, greetings to Great True Monarch Qichuan!"

On the ninth layer, Zhao Xuan, who was originally lying on a chair, quickly stood up when he saw Qichuan appear and clasped his fists solemnly towards Qichuan.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao Xuan, we are old acquaintances, no need for such formalities," Qichuan waved his hand and smiled.

However, upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan shook his head seriously.

He looked at Qichuan, his pupils filled with astonishment.

He was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

When he first met Qichuan, the latter was also at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Though he thought Qichuan was quite capable and had high regard for him, he never expected Qichuan to ascend to the realm of the Great True Monarch so swiftly!

Now, in front of him, Qichuan is truly a "Senior Realm."
