Novel Full Chapter 476
Chapter 476: Chapter 2 Long Long at the Banquet Chapter 476: Chapter 2 Long Long at the Banquet By the afternoon, a few more guests had gradually arrived on the island.
Seeing how these visitors enthusiastically greeted the old turtle as soon as they arrived, Long Long deduced that they were probably of Immortal Rank, namely, the ancient ancestors from various great Demon clans.
For the Human race, there were various Immortal Ranks: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Daluo Golden Immortal.
Naturally, Immortals from the Demon race also had a hierarchy of sorts.
Overall, the hierarchy was mainly determined by bloodline, with dragons giving birth to dragons and phoenixes giving birth to phoenixes.
Additionally, those of lesser bloodlines could potentially rise to a higher status if they “cultivated in the correct way”.
As for the correct way to cultivate, Long Long wasn’t entirely certain, since he had already obtained the Ying Long Bloodline-one of the highest bloodlines among the ten thousand demons-through “proper cultivation”.
Maintaining his transformed state, Long Long was not recognized by the ancient ancestors as belonging to any specific race, but seeing as he had the privilege of serving by Gui Lao’s side, they assumed he wasn’t just an ordinary Cultivator, and therefore, they each nodded to him as a sign of acknowledgment.
Moments later, the Island Master made a fashionably late entrance from the depths; a mature, glamorous woman wrapped in a white cloak emerged, surrounded by two young girls and two boys, each holding a bamboo basket, a Purifying Bottle, a horsetail whisk, and an ornate canopy, making Long Long’s eyes light up.
What a grand setup!
If Qiu Changtian used this sort of display to show off, wouldn’t the Invincible Character Setting’s Synchronization Value soar?
No, that’s not right.
Qiu Changtian, after all, is part of Kunlun, and Kunlun doesn’t indulge in such spectacle.
It would be better to let Wei Dongliu handle this.

“I am deeply grateful to you all for gracing my law assembly with your presence,” the beautiful woman said with a smile as she bowed slightly, then turned to instruct, “Qing’er, serve tea.”
Qing’er was one of the young girls holding a flower basket, looking to be about four or five years old and as adorable as a porcelain doll.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” she replied crisply, then stretched out her chubby little hand and gently tapped the bottom of the bamboo basket, causing copious amounts of sweet tea and fine wine, as well as exquisite delicacies, to fly out from cups and plates and land on the guests’ tables.
Each seated figure was a major player of Immortal Rank, and they were thus beyond the constraints of etiquette, behaving as they pleased.
Some drank, some ate, some chatted and laughed-their activities varied.
Sitting beside the old turtle, Long Long watched in silence, counting the number of attendees.
Seventeen.
Meaning, there were seventeen Great Demons of Immortal Rank here.
Although he did not know how many Immortals there were among the Human race, Long Long blindly assumed that most guests here were likely of Earth Immortal Rank, with a few possibly being of Heavenly Immortal Rank.
If they were all Golden Immortals or Daluo Golden Immortals, how could the Demon Race still be entrenched in the Eastern Emperor Realm?
They would have already launched an offensive to reclaim the continent.
Well, even if they were only “low rank” Immortals, they were still Immortals, after all.
The assembly of so many Immortal ancient ancestors in one place was a signal that could shake the entire Eastern Emperor Realm just by being revealed.
What were they planning to do?
Could it really be that they wanted to overturn the current state of affairs in the Eastern Emperor Realm?
The Qilin Clan nominally ruled over all demons, so could these powerhouses be planning to overthrow the Qilin rule and restore the descendants of Ying Long to the throne of the Demon Royal Family?
Good, good, I humbly offer myself with the bloodline of Ying Long, that of an emperor from a bygone era…
No, that’s not right, I’m a traitor, destined to betray them eventually.
Maybe, I should recommend my fox wife instead.
While Long Long was entertaining such wild thoughts, he saw the old turtle tap the table leisurely.
The sound was not loud, but given the old turtle’s prestigious status, several guests who had been keeping an eye on him glanced over immediately.
However, the old turtle paid no attention to the gazes of the guests and simply slid a plate towards Long Long:
“Cold Smoke Fruit is beneficial for the Jiaolong bloodline.”
Long Long’s eyes shone.
???G?.??
Without any doubt (after all, there was no reason for the old turtle to deceive him), he reached out to pick up a Cold Smoke Fruit.
Its surface was full and lustrous, emitting a sea-blue gleam with what seemed like smoky, illusory patterns shifting within.
He put it in his mouth, gently bit down, and a cold stream burst forth, surging from his mouth to his chest, nearly freezing his throat solid.
But Long Long, having the Jiaolong bloodline and a robust physique, managed to forcefully swallow the cold stream.
The cold current entered the Jade Mansion but did not encircle the Golden Core.
Instead, it quickly dispersed into his major meridians and throughout his limbs and bones.
And then it was gone.
Long Long: ???
“Ah Jing,” he quietly asked in his mind, “Can this thing really strengthen my Jiaolong bloodline?
I mean…
I don’t actually have that Jiaolong bloodline, do I?
So where did the strengthening from the Han Yan Fruit go?”
“Wake up, your Jiaolong bloodline isn’t entirely simulated by me,” reminded the Kunlun Mirror, “Have you forgotten the drop of Essence Blood that Ying Long gave you?”
“Strictly speaking, you are now a human cultivator with the Ying Long bloodline, much like Xu Yinglian who possesses the Phoenix Bloodline.”
“The Han Yan Fruit can indeed enhance that part of your bloodline, specifically making your Bloodline Supernatural Power even stronger.
It’s just that you don’t feel it,” Kunlun Mirror explained.
“I don’t like hearing that,” Long Long hummed coldly in his mind, “If I don’t feel anything, how can I know whether what you’re saying is true or false?”
“Of course, it’s true.
Why wouldn’t you believe me?” Kunlun Mirror countered.
“Why should I believe you?”
“Don’t forget, I also gave you the Long Long template,” Kunlun Mirror said patiently, “Without me, how could you possibly masquerade as a Jiaolong with just a drop of Ying Long Essence Blood and sit here safely?”
Long Long was stunned for a moment, then immediately became furious.
What the heck, the mirror turning on its master!
Daring to threaten me here!
I left a proper Orthodox Sect to come to the Eastern Emperor Realm to play the dragon, for whom do you think I am doing this?
Forget it, considering the grand scheme of mending the heavens, I can’t quibble with this broken mirror.
Setting aside whether Kunlun Mirror’s words were true or false, Long Long turned and thanked the old turtle:
“Thank you for the reminder, Elder.
This really is beneficial for my bloodline.”
“Not just the Han Yan Fruit.” The old turtle spoke slowly, “The tea, wine, and dishes here are all rare Spiritual Objects.”
“You might as well try everything, there is no harm in it.”
On hearing this, Long Long nodded and began to devour the feast heartily.
Here, he took a sip of tea, there, he poured a cup of wine, in front, he picked a fruit, behind, he grabbed a slice of meat, eating joyously.
The Island Master sat at the head, watching Long Long eat and drink merrily below, and then summoned the child who had welcomed them today, asking:
“What is the identity of that junior?
In such an occasion, he can behave so unrestrainedly, quite interesting.”
“That one was brought by the Xuanwu Immortal,” the child whispered a few words in her ear.
The Island Master nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Among the guests present, if there was anyone who absolutely should not be offended, it was definitely the Xuanwu Immortal.
However, this old gentleman had not inquired about worldly affairs for a long time, and he hardly stayed in the North Sea, just drifting around.
He actually brought an unfamiliar junior to the banquet this time?
And reminded him to eat the Han Yan Fruit…
So, is this junior from the Dragon Clan?
Dragon Clan…
Suddenly, the Island Master sharply recalled an ancient affair.
The name “Xuanwu” originally did not refer to the current Xuanwu Tortoise Clan, but was a collective term for both the turtle and snake clans.
Both belonged to the Water Clan, and while Divine Tortoises excel at defense, Jiaolong are good at offense.
They cooperated with each other, and the Bloodline Supernatural Powers of both were mutually compatible.
Why the tortoise and snake clans split is another matter.
As for the subsequent alliance of Xuanwu and Qilin, it was purely for political considerations at the higher levels and did not reach the close intimacy of the former tortoise and snake alliance, which was nearly one entity.
Could it be that the Xuanwu Immortal has some thoughts about the current high ranks of the Xuanwu Clan?
With this in mind, a plan suddenly formed in the Island Master’s thoughts, and she turned to give an order:
“Ah Bai.”
“Mistress,” the little maid quickly came forward.
“With my token, go to the Azure Dragon Clan, and invite the esteemed Shi Yao to the banquet.”
