Now, there are very few entertainment activities and methods in the primordial chaos.
The Peach Banquet in Tianjing and the Ginseng Fruit Festival in Wanshoushan are good examples.
It's all about feasts and songs back and forth.
Liquor? We are afraid that the immortals might act impulsively after drinking, so we only gave them a small amount.
Dance and songs? It's mostly about watching others sing and dance, with low involvement from the audience themselves. Many people fell asleep while watching.
Some immortals have to deliberately pull a stern face to maintain their demeanor. You say you're here to watch the dance and songs, yet you're pulling a stern face. Is that not odd?
The entertainment activities created by the Phoenix side are too numerous. It was originally meant to celebrate, why should it be so lifeless?
Just two rounds into the banquet, old Zhu was holding his wine glass, thinking about how to toast the leader. The entertainment activities officially kicked off.
The venue gained several additional floors of space, with the first entertainment activity to be revealed being gemstone gambling!
Zhu Bajie's mouth twitched twice, the stones brought up by the heavenly soldiers and officials looked extremely familiar to him. Are these rocks from Zhou Mountain?
The stones from the Buzhou Mountain are not invincible, and it's not an exaggeration to say that. The usual Daoist methods can hardly unravel the illusions within them.
On the Phoenix side, relying on the Way of Space, they can just about perform a certain degree of recognition. The stones she picked had about a 30% chance of producing gemstones of varying qualities. Different attributes led to different effects, but ultimately they came from the Buzhou Mountain and could be refined into protective talismans or used in various cultivation techniques that strengthen the body. These are all top-notch treasures.
She gave each immortal present at the event ten points of credits, which can be used for once in the gemstone betting. Three points are deducted for participating, theoretically speaking, with a three-in-one choice, if one isn't too unlucky, they should win a prize at least once.
What about the remaining points?
There are all kinds of activities here in Chixiao Palace, some are purely spending points, and others are earning point vouchers.
For example, if you participate in a racing competition, you can choose to use a flying sword, a bamboo fan, or to ride on a treasure or hold it. As long as you start from the Chixiao Palace and reach the designated location within the specified time, it counts as completing a race. You'll get a guaranteed two points of credit for participating, plus the remaining one point from before, and you can go and participate in another gemstone lottery!
There are also fishing competitions in Chixiao Palace. The Phoenix blocks the knowledge from this side, so only Immortals with cultivation surpassing hers can rely on divine powers to cheat. For those who don't, it's all about chance and one's own fishing technique to win.
Jiang Ziya, who came to the celebration on behalf of Hao Tian, heard about the fishing tournament and immediately signed up.
You're suggesting he participate in some racing competition, experiencing speed and passion? That's absurd; his cultivation is too low, and even the best skills are useless. His cloud riding speed isn't as fast as his own Wuxing Disappearing Technique. Would you use the Wuxing Disappearing Technique here? Water Disappearing Technique? Water Dragon Technique? Please, that's a joke. But if you talk about fishing, Old Jiang has a lot of confidence in this skill!
As expected, the other immortals were still selecting the most suitable competition for themselves, while Jiang Ziya caught 40 fish in less than a teacup of time, securing the first place in the first competition.
The ten points awarded to him by Phoenix didn't work at all, but he gained ten more points instead.
The Jade Emperor and the Old Bear, who had also participated in the fishing competition, were astounded. "You old man isn't that great in cultivation, but your fishing skills are truly unparalleled in the Primordial Chaos. I would like to call you the strongest!"
Points can be used for gambling, purchasing jade wine and jade rice enriched with the essence of the mulberry tree, and many other purposes.
The Phoenix hung a huge notice at the gate of the Chixiao Palace, listing all the items that could be exchanged for points, from precious stones and celestial herbs to elixirs and wonder drugs, from divine weapons to martial arts and mounts – it covered everything.
Zhu Bajie was very cunning. First, he studied various activities and competitions, then he looked at the exchange list and finally, he chose to work for money!
While the other immortals were gathering friends to participate in various competitions, he was dragging his big hammer over to the gemstone gambling area, helping people break open the gemstones.
Zhu Bajie has gained experience in smashing the stones from the Buzhou Mountain. He specializes in being quick, accurate, and ruthless. With each stone he breaks, he earns a point, and by accumulating a little at a time, he's sure to be able to exchange for quite a few good things in the end.
Immortals like Zhu Bajie are still a minority, while most choose to participate in racing competitions.
Men will always remain young at heart, and there were many male immortals present. They all believed that they were fast, that they could seize victory in a blur of speed and take home the biggest prize.
Under the hosting of Long Nv, a large group of immortals set off.
Zi Wei Xing is the starting point, and the end point is Tai Yang Xing.
The celestial sphere is vast, and the stars exert a pulling force on each other. The speed of travel through the celestial sphere and cloud riding is completely different. If one is not familiar with the relationships between many stars and the star paths, there's no way to win the championship.
Dragon Ji secretly approached Phoenix and asked worriedly, "Will we lose money? If you need help, I can give you my savings?"
Phoenix smiled, and Little Rich Girl was slightly annoyed. "We're talking seriously here. Why are you laughing?"
No matter whether it's fishing, racing, singing, gemstone betting, or games like calligraphy and archery, it's Phoenix who ends up paying the bill. These games don't produce anything, and the celestial treasures that the immortals exchange are all from her own storehouse. The seemingly lively celebration is actually at her own expense.
Phoenix patted Long Ji's hand and smiled happily, "Even if I am poor, I can ensure your safety. How could I do a business that would lose money? Someone will pay for it."
Tai Yang Xing.
The True Immortal of Jade Pagoda had a black blade thrust through his chest and abdomen, and now, holding a long sword, he was barely supporting himself to prevent himself from falling over.
The Mother of Turtle Spirit was previously a Great Heavenly Immortal, cultivating the path of immortality with a divine body. Before leaving the heavenly palace, she had just reached the realm of a Golden Immortal.
Jade Pagoda Immortal was already a Golden Immortal when he appeared on the list, and his cultivation speed was slower. He had only barely broken through the barrier to become an Immortal Realm.
One-third of the light from Tai Yang Xing was occupied by misty fog, and suddenly a chaotic beast resembling a wild ox burst out from the darkness. This creature was extremely powerful and roared nonsensically as it ran, its target was the heavily injured Jade Pagoda Immortal.
"Click" a streak of lightning flashed, Yang Jian appeared behind the creature, and with his Three-Pointed Spear and Double-Edged Sword, he first lifted the chaotic beast and then swung his Peach Blossom Axe horizontally, cutting it in half from head to tail. He suspected that the creature wouldn't die immediately, so he spat out a stream of three-part true fire until it became a charred skeleton. Then he nodded to his teacher and went to support the front-line battlefield, carrying his Three-Pointed Spear in one hand and holding his Peach Blossom Axe in the other.
Huanglong Zhenren was covered in blood after killing many, and now in front of him was a channel resembling the dark chaos.
He is in a fierce battle at the entrance.
The soldiers, generals, and scattered immortals under the command of Tai Yang Xing Jun, as well as some of the scholars recruited by Jade Pagoda Immortal, had mostly turned into corpses. Jade Pagoda Immortal was fighting to the death and they were too scared to run, so they could only fight back against the chaotic beast.
