Soon, the guests had all arrived.

Apart from a few Immortals and cultivator students, Li Nianfan was familiar with all of them. There were a lot of familiar faces.

Li Nianfan suddenly realized he befriended a bunch of elites…

They bowed and greeted each other. Everyone got along.

Qin Manyun and the others were nervous. They felt like a peasant attending a city event.

However, their greeters did not dare to be impolite. They got the reminders from the Jade Emperor that the expert would invite his friends over. They had to be polite to everyone.

‘Otherwise, it’d be like a slap to the expert’s face, right?’

They sat in the front row and chatted with the Immortals.

“All because of the expert!”

Yao Mengji tried to relax. He was slightly excited and energetic. “Connections are usually more important than skills! I have to be a good cultivator from now on. I can’t embarrass the expert!”

Luo Shiyu looked at Li Nianfan with her pretty eyes. Li Nianfan rode on a golden cloud above the big pot. He was guiding his helpers. She felt a mix of emotions. “The expert helped us so much. If we can’t achieve anything, how are we different from pigs?”

Suddenly, Black and White Impermanence walked over. They saluted and said, “You all must be the Lord Saint’s Immortal Realm cultivator friends. We’re the Black and White Impermanence of the Underworld. Lady Qin Manyun has met us before.”

Bai Wuchen and the others hurriedly stood up. They saluted and greeted them, “Greetings to the Black and White Impermanence Sires.”

White Impermanence waved it off and said, “Haha, we’re all friends of the Lord Saint. You must be a talented cultivator, too. No need for courtesy.”

Black Impermanence looked at Zhao Shanhe and the others. He said straightforwardly, “Guys, I see that you have no breakthroughs in your cultivation. I’m afraid you only have a couple hundred years left to live. Once your soul returns to the Underworld, please, remember to mention my name. I’ll give you a job as a reaper.”

Zhao Shanhe and the others instantly froze up. Then, they coughed softly and said, “Thanks, Black Impermanence Sire. But… I think we should work hard on our cultivation.”

Lin Mufeng awkwardly turned to talk to Taibai Jinxing, “I’d much prefer to look at the view from the observatory…”

…

Then, the guests all arrived. The guards and soldiers at the door returned to their seats. The Seven Princesses and Juling Shen also sat in their respective seats.

The servants were busy serving the guests.

Goddess Chang’e played the zither and danced onstage. She was a beautiful view.

A lot of Immortals helped with the pot. They cast fire spells at the command of Xiao Bai, throwing flames underneath the pot.

The pot was too big, so they could not just heat up a single area. Soon, the Demons joined in to help, too. The Demons with fire powers worked hard.

Hundreds of Immortals and Demons stood on two sides of the pot, casting fire spells. The flames were hot and it was a majestic sight. All because…they were trying to heat a pot up.

It was considered one of the weirdest sights since the eldritch eras.

Li Nianfan flew around and threw ingredients into the pot. There were all sorts of mushrooms, honey, and eggs. Li Nianfan felt this dish was a Kunpeng Buddha Jumps over the Wall.

Li Nianfan looked at the guests. He noticed that they were chatting but they kept glancing at the wine on the table. They looked hungry. He had to say, “Emperor, don’t let the guests just sit around. They should have some fruits and wine first.”

The Jade Emperor raised his hand and said, “Everyone, feel free to eat and drink. Chang’e, too. Continue with the performances.”

The Immortals were relieved to hear that. They started to observe the delicacies in front of them. They were excited.

They all reached out with trembling hands. They looked as if they were dreaming. They took the fruits in front of them. Some of the Immortals picked up their wine glasses. They were drunk on the fruity aroma.

It was a table full of treasures. They were dumbfounded. They felt like peasants who did not know what to do.

‘Those are Spiritual Fruits, and the beverages are made from Spiritual Fruits, too. I can’t believe that the fallen Heavenly Palace is still able to host such a luxurious feast. The eldritch eras…could never!’

‘Benefits, benefits. The benefits of being around the expert.’

There were not a lot of Flat Peaches in the Flat Peach Feast so only a few important Immortals could taste it. Juling Shen and Ao Cheng sat in the front row. They sat side by side.

Ao Cheng noticed that Juling Shen was stunned. Ao Cheng drank his fruit juice. Then, he exclaimed while he peeled an orange, “What are you doing? Are you alright? This is a meal like never before. Hurry up and eat!”

“But, this…this…this…”

Juling Shen was so shocked that he stuttered. “These are Spiritual Fruits. Also… I’m afraid they’re top-notch Spiritual Fruits. The beverages and wine are all extraordinary. How can this feast be so luxurious?”

He knew that he was going to eat Lord Kunpeng during the feast. However, he did not expect the fruits and wine. He thought he was hallucinating because it was unreal.

“Don’t you know what the expert can do?” Ao Cheng looked weirdly at Juling Shen.

Juling Shen asked, “I only know that the expert’s the Deluxe Merit Saint. No one dares mess with the expert. Are you telling me there’s more to that?”

He had never eaten anything at the four-part architecture. He was also outcasted for a while. He did not know.

“Of course!” Ao Cheng immediately replied. Then, he whispered, “Think about it. How can the expert’s food be ordinary? The food on our table is just the most basic snacks. You’re so pitiful. How didn’t you know? You’ve been around the expert for so long but you’ve never eaten a meal at the expert’s place.”

“Just the most basic snacks? I’ve never eaten a meal at the expert’s place. I feel like I missed out on a lot right now…”

Juling Shen felt thunderstruck. Then, he felt emotional.

‘I knew that the Lord Saint was awesome, that’s why I had to kiss up to him. But I didn’t know the expert was much more awesome than I imagined. Hooray! I bootlicked the right person!

‘I have to work hard on bootlicking from now on. Success isn’t far away. Hehe.’

Conversations like that happened in every corner of the Heavenly Palace.

“This…this… How can the Peaches be so much more powerful than Flat Peaches?”

“So delicious. This is too delicious. Boohoo—I’ve never lived right until now!”

“What’s going on? There’s too much Immortal Power and Power of Law contained in this milk. Is the milk of the Five-Color Sacred Cow so powerful?”

“Duh. The Five-Color Sacred Cow eats Spiritual Roots daily. How can the milk be ordinary?”

“What about the honey? Why is it so amazing?”

“This honey is made from the nectar picked by Golden Bees from Spiritual Flowers. What do you think?”

“Yikes—”

“Incredible. Eye-opening. I learn something new every day.”

…

The Immortals instantly thought that their Lord Saint was invincible and incredible.

They finally knew why the Jade Emperor and Empress warned them to stay calm at the feast.

They would probably be screaming and hollering…

Suddenly, a nice scent filled the place. Everyone was stunned. They all looked at the pot in the center.

Bubble—

The soup started to boil. The steam wafted around Yao Chi with the delicious scent.

Gulp—

Needless to say, the Lord Kunpeng soup smelled nice. You could tell by how stunned everyone looked. They all gulped.

“The Kunpeng soup’s boiling. We can eat now.”

Li Nianfan laughed and sat next to Daji. Everyone returned to their seats. The Goddesses helped everyone with their servings.

The canary stood on a nearby table. It looked at its soup and stared at it with mixed emotions.

There was a small part of a toe in the flavorful soup. It seemed to be the front of a toe.

‘Is this soup made from my body?’

Lord Kunpeng went over and thought to himself, ‘This smells so good! How can I control myself if it smells so good?”

It had to look around. It saw that everyone was slurping on their bowls. They all looked like they enjoyed how delicious it was. Lord Kunpeng instantly made up his mind. ‘Damn, my meat smells so good and everyone’s enjoying it. There’s no reason for me to not eat myself! Won’t I be foolish to not eat it?’

Lord Kunpeng instantly lowered his head and started sipping on it.

The hot soup with rich flavors entered his belly. It sent a shiver down his spine, causing him to shudder from the warmth.

‘So cozy. I’ve never felt so comfy before.’

Then, he widened his eyes in utter shock. He froze up like a statue…

‘This—this is…’

Xiao Chengfeng and Ao Yun also froze into statues.

Apart from the delicious taste, the soup also had Spiritual Powers in it. Powers flowed through their limbs. They felt as if they were comfortably soaking in a sauna.

Their bodies were relieved but it also felt like their bodies were reconstructing. Powerful energy circled inside them.

Their bodies were relaxed because…their wounds were healing!

They instantly felt surprised, excited, and were in disbelief. They were astounded and in a daze.

Xiao Chengfeng held his bowl of soup. He was flushed. He excitedly said in a trembling voice, “Brother Ao, I… I can feel my cultivation…recovering?!”

Ao Yun looked at Xiao Chengfeng and took a deep breath. He almost cried from happiness, “My… My severed arm and tail are feeling itchy, almost as if they’re going to grow out…”
