Chapter 554 A multitude of powerful figures arrive one after another.
The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi arrived riding on a cloud.
He wore a Taoist robe, held a whisk, and had a gentle face, yet his aura made all the immortals and gods outside the South Heavenly Gate dare not underestimate him.
The ancestor of earth immortals.
The master of Wuzhuang Temple.
Even if such a person is not a saint, he is enough to make many great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world bow their heads in respect.
Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi arrive, Chen Changsheng immediately descended the cloud steps and bowed respectfully to Zhen Yuanzi.
"Junior Chen Changsheng greets Zhenyuan Daxian."
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Chen Changsheng with a smile in his eyes.
"No need for such formalities."
"Now that you are in charge of the Heavenly Court's laws and are a Primordial Golden Immortal, you are no ordinary junior."
Chen Changsheng said, "Great Immortal, you are a senior from the primordial era. I dare not be disrespectful."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly.
Many wandering immortals outside the South Heavenly Gate were moved upon hearing these words.
Zhen Yuanzi's words carried immense weight.
Previously, when the disciples of the Chan Sect entered the Heavenly Gate, Sun was detained and confronted the Law Enforcement Hall.
Later, all the immortals of the Jie Sect arrived, clearly to support Chen Changsheng.
Now that Zhen Yuanzi has arrived, he has said those words in public again.
This was no longer just ordinary small talk.
This is the ancestor of earth immortals acknowledging Chen Changsheng's qualification to establish rules at the South Heavenly Gate.
Yuan Hong stood to the side and grinned.
Chen Changsheng glanced at Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong immediately fell silent.
Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "This monkey does have some intelligence."
Yuan Hong clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Great Immortal, you flatter me."
Zhen Yuanzi looked towards the South Heavenly Gate.
"The Heavenly Court's atmosphere today is indeed different from usual."
"The fact that Haotian and Yaochi were able to invite people from all directions to the gathering is a testament to their great power."
"But for the general trend to come to fruition, someone has to take the plunge."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Changsheng.
"If your sword is not steady today, the prestige of the Heavenly Court will be diminished."
Chen Changsheng said in a deep voice, "This junior understands."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly.
"That's good."
A glint of energy flashed from the book in his sleeve, and then a golden letter flew out.
The golden invitation fell into the hands of the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper heavenly general accepted the gift with both hands, and after verifying the heavenly court's fortune, immediately bowed respectfully.
"Great Immortal Zhenyuan of Wuzhuang Temple, please enter the Heavenly Gate."
Chen Changsheng turned to the side.
"Great Immortal, please."
Zhen Yuanzi did not adopt an arrogant attitude; he simply nodded and stepped into the South Heavenly Gate.
Venus was already waiting inside the Heavenly Gate.
With a beaming smile, he cupped his hands and said, "The presence of the venerable immortal is an honor to the Heavenly Court."
Zhen Yuanzi said, "You're too kind, Star Lord."
"Now that the invitation to the Peach Banquet has arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, this humble Taoist priest will naturally attend."
Venus reached out to guide them.
"Great Immortal, please follow this old minister into the Lingxiao Palace."
Zhen Yuanzi entered the Lingxiao Palace.
Many immortals and deities were already seated in the hall.
The disciples of the Chan sect sat to one side. Guang Chengzi looked calm, while Juli Sun's expression was still not very good.
The members of the Jie Sect were imposing and powerful. Daoist Duobao closed his eyes to rest, while Zhao Gongming looked towards the palace gate, seemingly waiting for Chen Changsheng's next move.
As soon as Zhen Yuanzi entered the hall, all the immortals in the hall rose to pay their respects.
"I have met Zhenyuan Daxian."
Guang Chengzi also stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.
"Great Immortal".
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "Immortal Zhenyuan has arrived at just the right time."
Zhen Yuanzi returned the gift.
Greetings, fellow Daoists.
Haotian looked down at Zhenyuanzi from his high position, a smile on his face.
"I am greatly pleased that the Great Immortal has come."
Zhen Yuanzi said, "Since the Heavenly Emperor has invited me, I will certainly attend."
Yaochi said, "Great Immortal, please take the seat of honor."
Zhen Yuanzi did not refuse.
Venus led him to a seat that had been arranged beforehand.
Many immortals and gods in the hall exchanged glances secretly.
Zhen Yuanzi held an extremely high position.
This shows that the Heavenly Court highly values the Wuzhuang Temple.
This also shows that today's Peach Banquet is by no means an ordinary celestial feast.
Guang Chengzi watched Zhen Yuanzi sit down, a glint of light flickering in his eyes.
Chi Jingzi transmitted his voice, saying, "Even Zhen Yuanzi has come."
Taiyi Zhenren said, "Wuzhuang Temple has never easily gotten involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Court."
Master Yu Ding said calmly, "His coming today is to give face to the Heavenly Court, and also to give face to Chen Changsheng."
Sun, who was being detained, transmitted his voice in a cold tone.
"That kid knows how to build connections."
Guang Chengzi glanced at him.
"Junior brother, be careful with your words."
Sun Yi choked after being detained, and ultimately said nothing more.
On the other side, Zhao Gongming watched Zhen Yuanzi take his seat and laughed heartily.
"Chang Sheng did a good job guarding the Heavenly Gate today."
Yunxiao said, "The more stable he is, the more stable the Heavenly Court will be."
Bixiao said, "I'd like to see who else dares to run into us."
Qiongxiao said, "You're just hoping for a fight."
Bixiao gave a soft snort.
"I have no expectations."
"But if someone really bullies Changsheng, I certainly can't just sit and watch."
Zhao Gongming laughed and said, "Don't worry, he doesn't need us to make the first move."
"If it really comes to a fight, he's tough enough on his own."
Discussions began to rise in the Lingxiao Palace.
Outside the South Heavenly Gate, Chen Changsheng still stood on the cloud steps.
He was neither complacent because of Zhen Yuanzi's approval, nor swayed by the opinions of others.
The Tianmen Gate was in perfect order.
Subsequently, another group of wandering immortals stepped forward to examine the scroll.
These wandering immortals are noticeably more disciplined than before.
Some people even took out gold invitations and presented them with both hands before the heavenly general could speak.
"We have come bearing this letter; please let the Heavenly Court verify it."
The gatekeeper accepted the golden invitation with a solemn expression.
"Please enter the Heavenly Gate, everyone."
Chen Changsheng saw this but said nothing.
This is the purpose of rules.
Once the first group is contained, those who follow will naturally know how to get started.
It's not that etiquette is forbidden in Heaven.
But beneath the surface of courtesy, there must be a sharp edge.
Otherwise, politeness will become weakness.
Yuan Hong suddenly looked up.
"Master, another surge of energy is coming."
Dai Li's nostrils twitched slightly, and his expression changed subtly.
"The smell of blood is so strong."
Suddenly, the sea of clouds outside the South Heavenly Gate glowed red.
The red light spread from the far distance, like an endless sea of blood reflected in the sky.
A murderous, cold, and ancient aura pressed down upon them.
Many rogue cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and they all retreated.
"A sea of blood!"
"This is the aura of the Netherworld Blood Sea!"
"The Styx Ancestor has arrived!"
Chen Changsheng slightly raised his eyes.
At the edge of the sea of clouds, a figure arrived, stepping on a streak of blood-red light.
The man's red robe was as red as blood, and his aura was chilling. Behind him, the phantom images of two peerless killing swords appeared.
Blood suddenly spread out in front of the South Heavenly Gate.
The Styx Ancestor has arrived.
Chen Changsheng gazed at the powerful figure in the sea of blood with a calm expression.
At that moment, the Styx Ancestor stopped outside the Heavenly Gate and his gaze fell on him.
