203: Fairy Wine Feast

Deep within the Immortal Remnant Land.

Xu Qi'an sat cross-legged, a wisp of Space Law at Major Achievement Realm before him.

With the aid of his Chaos Conception, he successfully refined this wisp of Law.

“Whoosh!”

After refining this wisp of Law, Xu Qi'an took a deep breath.

He no longer knew how long he had been here.

But he knew he had refined many Laws.

Each time he refined a wisp of Law, he could feel his Chaos Conception evolving towards the direction of Law.

And now, his Chaos Conception had transformed into thePrototype of Chaotic Law!

“At this rate, I should refine some more of the Three Great Laws to truly transform thePrototype of Chaotic Law into Chaotic Law.”

The Immortal Remnant Land truly lived up to its name as the burial ground of Time, Space, and Reincarnation Laws; the Laws here were countless.

Some of these Laws had even reached theZhenhua level, but he dared not touch such Laws.

His strength simply did not allow it; even with his magic armor, he feared it would not be able to withstand them.

“I wonder, what level will Chaotic Law reach if I refine all the Laws in the Immortal Remnant Land?!”

Thinking of this, a trace of excitement immediately welled up in Xu Qi'an’s heart.

“I just wonder how Revered Master and Sui'er are doing?”

“And the Ascension Palace, I wonder what actions they will take next!”

“It seems I still need to speed up!”

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment, then once again threw himself into the path of Law refinement.

......

In a flash, over forty years passed.

The Human Race forces in the Lingyuan Star Region and Weiyang Star Region underwent monumental changes.

First, Dream Sect and Soul Sect of the Seven Great Sects openly declared their allegiance to the Ascension Palace.

The temporarily established Alliance of the Seven Great Sects immediately disintegrated, leaving only five Sects, which collectively formed an organization called the Five Unifications Alliance.

The two major Human Race powers began to contend for and divide the remaining Cultivation Stars and Human Race forces.

Within the Human Race territory, the Ascension Palace occupied four-tenths, while the Five Unifications Alliance occupied six-tenths.

During this period, the Alliance Leader of the Five Unifications Alliance, led by Yang Wuji, commanded numerous Cultivators to attack the Ascension Palace several times. Although they seized a considerable amount of territory, the Ascension Palace suffered minimal losses, far from being severely impacted.

At this moment, a large-scale beast invasion occurred on the border of the Lingyuan Star Region, which bordered the Beast Calamity Star Region. The Five Unifications Alliance had to dispatch a large number of Cultivators to suppress it.

As a result, the intensity of their assault on the Ascension Palace was significantly reduced, and for a time, the war between the two major powers reached a stalemate.

The core Alliance site of the Five Unifications Alliance.

Here stood a massive, resplendent golden palace.

Inside the palace’s deliberation hall, core members of the Five Unifications Alliance were holding a meeting.

They were Yang Wuji of Yang Sect, Jiang Qingying of Yin Sect, Yuan Dao Fei of Yuan Sect, Ling Shu of Spirit Sect, and Zhou Tianxing of Five Elements Sect.

All of them were Grand Elders from the five major Sects.

“Everyone, the Ascension Palace has sent a letter, inviting us to their Immortal Nectar Banquet, which occurs once every fifty thousand years. What do you think we should do?” As the Grand Elder of Spirit Sect, who managed inter-Sect communications, he was the first to speak.

“Hmph! It’s likely a trap set by Mo Qianjie; if we go, we’ll probably all be wiped out!” Zhou Tianxing of Five Elements Sect snorted, immediately rejecting the idea.

“Immortal Nectar Banquet? This is only the second Immortal Nectar Banquet, isn’t it? I remember the origin of this Immortal Nectar Banquet is that the Ascension Palace discovered a jade dew immortal tree in an ancient ruin. This jade dew immortal tree matures once every fifty thousand years, and the Immortal Nectar it produces is incredibly precious,” Jiang Qingying mused.

“The Immortal Nectar formed by this jade dew immortal tree can not only enhance cultivation and comprehension of Laws, but also greatly increase Lifespan!”

“I, for one, think that since the Ascension Palace has invited us, what harm is there in going?”

“Although there must be a trick involved, what does that matter?”

“We old bones don’t have much Lifespan left.”

“And treasures that can increase our Lifespan have almost all been used up. In contrast, we haven’t consumed the Immortal Nectar from this jade dew immortal tree yet; perhaps it can increase our Lifespan.”

Upon hearing Jiang Qingying’s words, everyone fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, if they could consume this Immortal Nectar, it would undoubtedly greatly increase their Lifespan.

If in a hundred years they all reached the end of their Lifespans and died, and the Five Unifications Alliance no longer had these old fellows presiding over it, it might quickly be disintegrated by the Ascension Palace, both internally and externally.

“Moreover, it seems the Ascension Palace has invited more than just us this time; there are not only Beast Race, but also various clans from the Xuanhe Star Territory!”

“In other words, even if the Ascension Palace truly intends to play some trick, with so many forces present, they surely wouldn’t dare to act openly!”

Jiang Qingying pondered for a moment, then spoke.

After she finished, she glanced at Yang Wuji beside her.

Yang Wuji was undoubtedly extremely haggard now; his only Disciple, Xu Qi'an, had been trapped in the Immortal Remnant Land by the Ascension Palace’s machinations, with his life unknown. How could he not hate the Ascension Palace!

But now Jiang Qingying was very worried about his Lifespan, because Yang Wuji’s excessive use of the Profound Astral Spirit Extinguishing Sword had brought his Lifespan almost to the point of exhaustion.

Jiang Qingying’s words were primarily for Yang Wuji’s sake.

Yang Wuji was a banner for the Five Unifications Alliance; if he fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After a long silence, Yang Wuji slowly spoke: “I agree with Jiang Daoist friend’s assessment; we can go to this Immortal Nectar Banquet!”

“However, to prevent any covert actions by the Ascension Palace, we must be fully prepared!”

Yang Wuji had his own calculations in mind; although Xu Qi'an had entered the Immortal Remnant Land, he always felt that Xu Qi'an would not die so easily.

So, before confirming Xu Qi'an’s death, he would not fall easily either!

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.

......

Ascension Palace.

On a massive mountain platform, there stood a jade tree resembling a bud about to bloom.

This jade tree seemed to contain the entire starry river, with each branch resembling jade, shimmering with pearly luster and permeated with Immortal Qi.

If a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator stood here, just inhaling a breath of the Immortal Qi would likely cause them to instantly Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This was the Ascension Palace’s jade dew immortal tree!

At this moment, a black-robed old man stood beside the jade dew immortal tree; his attire was completely out of place with the surrounding pearly, flowing aura.

Yet, he stood there openly, as if admiring the precious tree before him.

“Palace Revered Master, the invitations for the Immortal Nectar Banquet have been sent out as you requested,” a young man in white, luxurious robes bowed and reported.

The black-robed old man then turned around and smiled gently: “Yes, I know.”

Seeing this, the young man asked with some confusion: “Palace Revered Master, Disciple has a question. The Immortal Nectar Banquet is so precious; the first Immortal Nectar was distributed internally within our Ascension Palace. Why this time, are we widely inviting Cultivators from the five Star Domains?”

“Even our Ascension Palace’s sworn enemy, the Five Unifications Alliance, is invited?”

“Hahahahaha!”

Hearing this, the black-robed old man burst into hearty laughter.

Then, with a profound expression, he spoke: “It’s very simple!”

“Because this time, I want to achieve Immortal Ascension!”
