The Twelve Celestial Monarchs spoke some empty words, meant to encourage the celestial gods of the Celestial Court and to summarize this grand event.

Lin Qianxuan, however, wasn't really listening, his mind focused solely on the dishes that were about to be served.

After the leaders finished speaking, of course, it was time for the fairies to serve the dishes.

The Twelve Celestial Monarchs would eat the best, followed by the immortals who initiated this Great Dao Celestial Banquet, who would eat the second-best.

Further down, the food was distributed according to the size of each contribution.

The table in front of Lin Qianxuan was piled high, with a careful count revealing over a thousand dishes.

And each one had at least reached the Taiyi level.

Among them, five dishes were at the Profound Celestial level.

He was clearly receiving special treatment.

Lin Qianxuan and Ling'Er divided the dishes between them and began to eat together.

In the venue, immortals responsible for singing and dancing performances had already started their music and dances.

Some immortals looking to seize an opportunity would also showcase their divine powers to liven up the atmosphere.

The scene was lively, to say the least.

Not any less than a Luo Celestial Gathering.

By the way, the Luo Celestial Gathering is the company annual meeting hosted by the Celestial Court at the end of each epoch.

However, since the departure of the Great Celestial Venerable, the Luo Celestial Gathering hadn't been held for a long time.

So this Great Dao Celestial Banquet allowed many long-restrained immortals to indulge freely.

Lin Qianxuan and Ling'Er weren't interested in watching the dances or participating in the performances.

They just focused on eating and eating and eating.

One must admit, Ying Yuntian, such a professional chef, indeed possessed high culinary skills.

Those Immortal Treasures and divine substances were handled excellently by him; even if Lin Qianxuan were to try, he might not compare.

Of course, Lin Qianxuan was making a small offering for a huge return.

A small portion of Immortal Treasures was exchanged for a tableful of food.

All together, it multiplied more than tenfold.

Equivalent to catching dozens of super-large fish.

Now, he might not catch a super-large fish even in half a year, averaging only one or two a year.

This meal could equal over a decade of his fishing efforts.

The space-time in Mirror Sea was unaffected by his power, meaning those years reflected real years of cultivation.

Thus, Lin Qianxuan couldn't overlook the increase in cultivation from this meal.

Ling'Er was also gorging herself.

Her current cultivation level could be considered a Profound Celestial Immortal, slightly lower than Lin Qianxuan, but not by much.

Only a few steps away from becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal.

With some luck and a big catch, she might quickly reach that level.

Of course, the two were in no rush.

The fishing rod, as a Dao Fruit, wouldn't benefit from impatience.

Going with the flow might yield a greater chance of a big catch.

Moreover, Lin Qianxuan sometimes enjoyed the surprise of catching small fish.

The tales embedded in those objects also had their own charm.

What is cultivation for?

If not for a life of unfettered leisure?

To solely pursue cultivation level would be putting the cart before the horse.

After all, how high a cultivation level can be considered high?

There is always one stronger, and one mountain higher than another.

The Great Dao is boundless.

The Celestial Banquet would last for nine consecutive days, deemed as the ultimate number.

One day less than the ten days of the Luo Celestial Gathering, as a sign of respect for the Great Celestial Venerable, who alone could achieve perfection within perfection.

Lin Qianxuan and Ling'Er ate happily, finishing the high-tier dishes, followed by waves of delightful desserts and exceptional brews, Immortal Melon Divine Fruits brought to the table.

For them, these Taiyi Immortals enjoying second-tier seating, these were all unlimited; once finished, more were supplied.

To the Celestial Court, ordinary immortal fruits were mass-produced already.

In the orchards of the Seventh Heaven, large quantities were harvested every century, amounting to tens of billions of fruits.

Lin Qianxuan didn't mind these fruits, swallowing them easily, which kept the fairies supplying them running back and forth a hundred times a day, consuming nearly ten thousand Immortal Fruits.

As time passed, they soon reached the ninth day.

The Great Dao Celestial Banquet was about to end.

Before it concluded, there was a bowl of celestial soup all immortals could partake in.

This soup was called Wan Zhen Soup.

It was a soup that gathered the essence of all the Immortal Treasures at the celestial banquet.

Well, actually, it was just hotpot broth.

However, at this level, even the hotpot broth was no ordinary soup.

Even a Taiyi True Immortal would never refuse this bowl of soup.

It even offered considerable cultivation benefits for a Profound Celestial Immortal.

At this moment, within the Celestial Food Department.

"Director, it's time to serve the soup." A cook reminded Ying Yuntian.

Ying Yuntian looked at the simmering Wan Zhen Immortal Soup in the cauldron and replied, "Don't rush, I'll add something else."

Afterwards, he carefully took out a bottle, containing a seasoning Lin Qianxuan had given him.

A droplet of pitch black, encompassing infinite mysterious essence.

After a moment of hesitation, he uncorked the bottle and let the droplet fall.

As it merged into the cauldron, the Wan Zhen Soup instantly turned jet-black, adorned with countless twinkling star lights, shimmering like the stars themselves.

"Serve the soup," Ying Yuntian instructed.

Suddenly, bowls of the Myriad Treasure Soup were taken to the site of the celestial banquet.

Ying Yuntian didn't know what Lin Qianxuan had given him; Lin Qianxuan only said it was a seasoning obtained from the Outer Realm, extremely rare, and could enhance the flavor when added to the Myriad Treasure Soup.

Initially, he was hesitant about using such an unknown seasoning.

However, the Myriad Treasure Soup did not pay much attention to the mix of ingredients. After opening and seeing it was imbued with a considerable amount of inherent Dao Charm, he decided it must be a fine divine artifact and added it in.

After bowls of the Myriad Treasure Soup were served, he also kept a bowl for himself, a particularly large one.

...

The Great Dao Celestial Banquet venue.

The Twelve Celestial Monarchs led, holding up the Myriad Treasure Soup.

"Esteemed immortals, please drink."

"Cheers to the Celestial Monarchs!"

The immortals raised their jade bowls, filled with Myriad Treasure Soup resembling a sea of stars, and drank it all at once.

And Lin Qianxuan and Ling'Er merely raised their bowls, pretending to drink.

At this point, the Great Dao Celestial Banquet was about to end.

Suddenly, the expressions of the immortals turned unpleasant.

"Not good, it's poisoned!!"

"What?"

"What poison is this? It has such a corrosive power....."

Under the influence of the intense poison within the Myriad Treasure Soup, the immortal bodies of the immortals began to decay, and the Great Dao was gradually obliterated.

Since the Celestial Court was established, accumulating countless epochs of garbage and pollutants, this drop of toxic liquid was refined from the Celestial Ruins.

Honestly, Lin Qianxuan felt if this were given alone to any Profound Immortal to drink, it could directly poison him to death.

But divided into numerous bowls of Myriad Treasure Soup, many immortal gods would directly fall into a state of combating the poison, their Great Dao gradually corroding and collapsing, unable to rebuild within a billion years without external aid, while the Taiyi Immortals would directly enter a weakened state with no combat power.

As for the Celestial Monarchs, they would be affected, but not so drastically.

However, even though not so drastic, their faces turned unpleasant as the rapidly corrosive spreading poison inflicted severe chaos upon their aura, their own space-time also impacted, causing ripples.

"What on earth is happening?" asked Celestial Monarch Danhai, his aura fluctuating wildly, his expression filled with uncertain suspicion.

"Not clear, but it seems something is wrong with the Myriad Treasure Soup."

Guangwen's eyes revealed divine light, attempting to probe the cause, but hindered by the poison, unable to wield his own Divine Power.

"The cause is difficult to trace, it seems to involve a certain Daluo Golden Immortal...." Void Celestial Monarch frowned.

"Daluo Golden Immortal?" Divine Essence Celestial Monarch hesitated for a moment, doubtfully said: "If a Daluo Golden Immortal wanted to take action against the Celestial Court, would they need such means?"

"Impossible, heavenly secrets are concealed, can't discern a single bit." Void Celestial Monarch said, his expression unpleasant.

At this moment, Lin Qianxuan, seated, moved.

He looked at the Twelve Celestial Monarchs and smiled.

"It's you!"

Sun Chasing Celestial Monarch suddenly realized who was behind the scenes.

"You aren't an immortal of the Celestial Court, was this Great Dao Celestial Banquet part of your plot?"

Though phrased as a question, the statement clearly confirmed the outcome.

Lin Qianxuan clapped his hands and said, "Absolutely correct."

"What is your purpose?"

With a heavy gaze, Guangwen Celestial Monarch focused on Lin Qianxuan, unable to see through his depth or gauge his strength.

"Golden Stone chased me around everywhere, it's only proper to return the favor. Naturally, I have to send a gift as well." Lin Qianxuan smiled.

"An enemy of the Great Celestial Venerable?"

Celestial Monarch Xuanfa was shocked.

After all, to be an enemy of the Great Celestial Venerable, Lin Qianxuan should be at the same level of existence.

"Not Daluo, just like us, a Profound Celestial Immortal." Void Celestial Monarch telepathically calmed the Celestial Monarchs: "We can take action together to subdue him!"

In the next moment, Sun Chasing Celestial Monarch and Celestial Monarch Danhai made their move.

An all-concealing Immortal Umbrella turned, under the umbrella, billions of True Yang flames gathered, releasing a strike of Profound Light.

On Celestial Monarch Danhai's shoulder, the Dharma Bell chimed, boundless profound water poured out, transforming into an ocean, rushing through time-space, arriving instantly.

Beside Lin Qianxuan, Ling'Er wanted to act, but was stopped by Lin Qianxuan.

He could have chosen not to reveal himself, but appearing now was to flex his muscles and take that step.

Facing the attacks of these two Celestial Monarchs, Lin Qianxuan neither delivered punches nor used Magical Artifacts, he simply let them wash over, falling into his own space-time.

Under two attacks, his form remained unmoved, seemingly unaffected.

Guangwen Celestial Monarch slashed an Immortal Sword, a sword light spanning millions of light-years sliced through space-time, only to be blown away by Lin Qianxuan's breath.

Celestial Monarch Xuanfa's Divine Ring flew, Void Celestial Monarch wielded the Divine Bell, Wande Monarch smashed down a cauldron, True Wisdom Monarch's Celestial Book sparkled with Profound Light, Ruolin Monarch wielded his merits-laden blade to attack, alongside the Celestial Monarch's Hourglass fixing time-space, Divine Rhythm Celestial Monarch's Divine Staff transformed into Heaven-Supporting Immortal Wood, extracting vitality from Lin Qianxuan's space-time, Duoyun Celestial Monarch launched a fortune-laden Treasure Coin to suppress Lin Qianxuan's fortune, bringing calamity, Karma Fruit Monarch's feet tread Karma Fire Red Lotus extending endless Karma Fire, intending to ignite Lin Qianxuan's divine commandments.

This world rarely sees an enemy treated with such collaborative force from the Celestial Monarchs.

At this time, although the Celestial Monarchs were affected by the poison, their strength somewhat weakened, they still joined forces sufficiently to annihilate any Profound Celestial Immortal.

Lin Qianxuan indeed got injured, and severely so.

In an instant, he fell into a state nearing death.

But at that very instant, his Evolutionary Body evolved.

Through prolonged fishing, the Great Dao Celestial Banquet, plus the current magnitude of the Evolutionary Body.

His space-time magnitude had already met certain conditions.

Those attacks, no longer had any impact on him, his infinite space-time began to coalesce, all possibilities turning into the solitary presence before him.

Immortal Gods could only resist the erosion of space-time, taking the first step into the Space-Time Realm.

Taiyi True Immortals could already interfere with space-time on a small scale, reverse or accelerate, freeze time-space.

Profound Celestial Immortals could significantly interfere with space-time on a large scale, their strength elevated.

Each level of change meant greater interference in space-time, more possibilities held within one's grasp.

Above all, Daluo Golden Immortals.

They could stabilize all space-time they tread, gather myriad causes and effects, freely alter past events, stabilize all in present space-time, and deduce the desired future space-time.

Past, present, future, all completely under control.

This, is the Daluo Golden Immortal!!!
