Jingwei is entirely dependent on intuition when making friends, and she does not seek any return. She just wants to pass on her kindness in this way.
This means that after the Empress of the Divine Phoenix sent her trusted servant, Dong Shuangcheng, to manage the Peach Garden, there were some "rumors" about it. Prior to that, she made friends by sending peaches because her teacher said that there was an endless supply of them and they were not worth much money.
She didn't realize the value of peaches and didn't have that concept.
Now that she can't send peaches, sending wutong fruit would be the same.
Her kindness led the destiny of Guiyu to take a different path.
The three months have gone by in a flash.
This time, the scale of the Peach Banquet was enormous. Dong Shuangcheng, a servant of the Empress of the Divine Breeze, Wangzi Deng, Xu Feiqiong, Wu Cailan, and other immortal women all left the Divine Lake with invitations in hand to visit various celestial paradises and sacred places in the primordial chaos, inviting immortals to attend the banquet.
The thoughts of the immortals were similar to those of the phoenix. Even if they didn't want to give face to the Heavenly Emperor, they still wanted to give face to the Empress of the Divine Breeze. People had sent their servants to invite you, and you had to stubbornly say "I don't want to go," which was really not humanistic.
Gods from all corners of the world left their temples and went to the 33rd heavens for the banquet.
The Golden Mother of the Jie School, Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao all accepted the invitation and brought over a thousand disciples from the Jie School.
The Taiyi True Sage, Lingbao Grand Sage, and XuanTu Grand Sage of the Can School left their respective temples and went to the Divine Lake.
As for the Buddhism side, it's not suitable for the Moonlight to meet the phoenix. Just now, Maitreya has been busy networking everywhere because of the matter of building the White Lotus Sect. Alright, you might as well stop causing trouble in Mount Lingshan and go to the Heavenly Palace to attend the banquet.
All the remaining immortals, including Zhenyuanzi, Zhonghuangzi, Rongchengzi, and Chishuangzi, have all agreed to come to the Peach Banquet.
What's worth mentioning is Yang Jie, who will also come to the Peach Banquet this time.
He has never forgotten his mother's revenge, and he will never forget it. However, after experiencing the great calamity of the Divine Establishment, his wisdom has matured a lot.
It was so hard to break through the barrier of Xuanxian, when would he reach Zhensheng? He couldn't beat Houtian at all, so he had to endure it.
Houtian also tolerates the immortals, doesn't he? Does Yang Jie have an extra head or an extra arm? What's there to be unable to endure?
This is private, and that is public.
I am the True Sage of Erlang, which means I should come to eat peaches. If I don't eat them, I'm not going to eat them for free. If I don't come, the peaches that were supposed to be given to me will be eaten by someone else, which would be a great loss!
After experiencing the Great Pacification War and witnessing numerous saintly figures and their disciples' fancy moves, he no longer cares about face.
Yang Jie came to the Heavenly Palace, also wanting to take the opportunity to see his teacher, Yu Ding Zhenren, who had been named the Sun Star God. After being appointed as the Sun Star God, it seemed that he was deliberately avoiding him, and it would be difficult for the master-disciple relationship to return to its previous state.
This time, he invited Huanglong Zhenren along as well. Back when they were in the Chanting School, the three of them had the closest relationship. Now, after more than ten years have passed, they planned to have a reunion.
Many gods who entered the Divine Lake were the first to notice that there were so many female immortals here.
To what extent? The range of vision was full of female immortals. They were all fair and beautiful, with graceful figures. They were busy arranging the venue. At this time, the male immortals did seem somewhat scarce in number.
"Your mother has so many beautiful female immortals under her command; I've never seen so many in one place." The phoenix felt at that moment that her eyes were excellent. A crowd of beautiful female immortals, dressed like fluttering butterflies, passed before her eyes, making her unable to determine where to focus her gaze. Those legs are so long, that skin is so good, and that silk dress over there is truly beautiful.
Long Ji muttered to herself, eyeing her with some dissatisfaction.
The phoenix smiled, not taking it to heart. These female immortals are showing their necks and arms, draped in light veils; isn't that just to be seen by the immortals? To look at them a few more times is to show respect, to acknowledge, and because I have eyes that seek beauty.
Long Ji whispered, "Shouldn't they all be here? The ones before the Divine Establishment, I've pretty much seen them all. I just don't know the exact number now."
The focus of the Great Pacification War was on the battlefield, on the states of Shang and Zhou. This was pure men's drama, with warlords like Deng Chanyu and Gao Laneng being rare, not to mention female generals. In a thousand, one might pick out one such woman. However, this does not represent that the number of female immortals who ascended to the Heavenly Palace with the help of the Divine Establishment is small.
Women with a high life constitution but killed by their husbands.
Teenage girls killed in the chaos of war.
Old women who died from the plague.
Countless old women who died from fires, from floods, and so on, leaving no trace of their existence. They had no chance to show their abilities, but that doesn't mean they didn't have any.
Perhaps the daughter of Wang, the butcher, after learning to read and write, could become a talent in governing the country.
It could be that the wife of Li, the doctor, has a natural talent for tailoring, but she spent her whole life surrounded by pots and pans.
The talent of a county could govern a country.
Both the main and auxiliary lists of the Divine Establishment had common women listed as true spirits, after which they took a step up to enter the celestial class.
In fact, the Empress of the Divine Lake has never been weak in power.
Just during the stage of the grass-stage setup, Houtian had giants like Jueling Shen, Taibai Xingjin, and Phoenix as his generals. The Empress of the Divine Lake also had her own group of subordinates. However, in order to take care of Houtian's face, they often kept a low profile and didn't leave the Divine Pool easily.
The ratio of male to female immortals in the Primordial Chaos is roughly equal.
This is like actors; male actors have a relatively wider range of roles, while female actors have a narrower path.
The options for female immortals are also very limited.
You say you're beautiful? Which woman who ascends to immortality isn't beautiful?
It's rare for female immortals to be able to worship Nuwa or the leader of the Thunder God Temple. If they don't have the skills to seize opportunities or sufficient protection, then joining either the Western King or the Divine Lake Empress is their best option.
The Western King has not been accepting people since the death of the Eastern Prince. Since then, female immortals can only flock to the Divine Lake Empress's side, but what are they coming for? To join forces!
"True General, would you like some wine? I have two types of wine here, the Thousand-Day Brew and the Immortal Drunken Journey. Which one would you prefer?"
"Your Highness, you are truly beautiful today. The dress you're wearing must be embroidered with real flower silk, right?"
The Phoenix and Long Ji had just taken their seats when wave after wave of female immortals, using the excuse of passing by, came over to chat with them.
Compared to the uncouth and unkempt male immortals, the Phoenix and Long Ji were a feast for the eyes.
The Phoenix exuded an aura of courage and strength, her gaze commanding attention. Long Ji was graceful and elegant, her expressions making everyone feel refreshed and at ease. A large group of "oh oh oh" female immortals gathered around them, causing a murmur among a crowd of male immortals nearby.
It wasn't until the Golden Mother of the Jie School, Bi Xiao, and Qiong Xiao arrived that the attention of the female immortals shifted slightly.
The Peach Banquet this time was not only large in scale but also honored guests. It was said that even the Taiyi Old Sage had agreed to attend. No one dared to be late, and no one wanted to make a scene by arriving late, so the numerous disciples of the saints didn't dare to play the drama of being greeted by all the other immortals.
At this time, everyone arrived very early, half an hour before the official start. The world of the Divine Pool, which was opened by the Empress with her great power of law, was already filled with gods from all corners of the world.
