Chapter 531 An Extravagant Birthday Banquet

The next day, when Ye Kang appeared in front of Fang Yu.

The latter was dumbfounded.

"You've leveled up again?! This isn't fair, brother. Do you even want us to live...?"

Ye Kang said helplessly, "When the emotions are right, the breakthrough will happen naturally. We can't just drag it out without ascending to the pillar level, can we?"

"Uncle Zhang, listen to this! Is he even speaking human language?"

"Alright, alright. Disciples of the Tyrant Whale Sect should remain calm and composed, even if a mountain collapses before them. So what if you've broken through? What's the big deal?"

"Don't grit your teeth when you say things like that, Uncle-Master..."

The disciples of the Tyrant Whale Sect looked at Ye Kang with a mixture of envy and admiration.

Although they had heard many rumors about Liu Ci, strength was everything, and such talent had completely won them over.

A group of people, fully prepared, walked out of the waterside pavilion.

Just then, people from the Eastern Demon Sect and the Soaring Heaven Temple also came out.

These major sects naturally had to be the first to enter, thus being forced to get up early.

Zhang Zuisheng and Feng Wuyai exchanged a glance, then turned their heads away unhappily, each vying to walk in the front.

Ye Kang spotted Jian Xin in the crowd and realized that she was also looking at him.

This time he had no doubts; this guy probably already knew his true identity.

The two didn't exchange words, each carrying a valuable gift box, and walked all the way to the north side of the island.

Along the way, various buildings and decorations were dazzling, and the birthday banquet was decorated in the most extravagant way, with sacred springs and precious trees everywhere, like a fairyland.

There is a low ridge on the northern island.

Based on strength and background, seating arrangements were made from the foot of the mountain to the summit, with dedicated Blood Shark Palace disciples leading the way, ensuring everything was orderly.

The top sects naturally sat in the banquet hall at the top, each occupying a corner, with the seat at the head of the table reserved for the Blood Shark Ancestor himself.

When Ye Kang and his group arrived, representatives from the Crimson Sword Sect and Yellow Leaf Island also arrived at the same time, just as planned.

Huo Zhuan, the master of Blood Shark Palace, sat to the side and bowed to everyone.

"Thank you all for coming. On behalf of Blood Shark Palace, please take your seats."

Everyone sat down one by one. Ye Kang, due to his status, naturally sat with Fang Yu in the second row.

However, the space between each person was very large, with a dedicated table and a maid, creating a sense of leisurely revelry.

Everyone chatted amongst themselves, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

Even Feng Wuyai and Zhang Zuisheng were laughing heartily, making their disciples behind them exclaim that they were hypocritical.

After a while, the other guests arrived one after another.

Below the six top sects are the locations of some major forces.

Red Fire Island and Ten Thousand Snake Island are leading the way, followed by the Liu family of Three Sheep Island, the Tang family, and other forces, each occupying a place in their own right.

Below that are the second-rate forces, and all the way down to the flat ground are the smaller forces that are just there to make up the numbers.

Of course, they were the largest group, along with many other well-known independent cultivators. At each house they visited, someone would read out the congratulatory gifts they had prepared.

This was truly the first time Ye Kang had ever seen such a grand birthday banquet.

Once all the guests had arrived, the sunlight streamed down, and a large array immediately rose in the sky, transforming the weather into the most comfortable autumn colors.

At the same time, rows of beautiful dancers flew out and danced throughout the entire birthday banquet, accompanied by rows of top-notch musicians, creating a magnificent spectacle that drew exclamations of admiration from many.

With so many dancers, all of whom are martial artists at the Lotus Realm, only the Blood Shark Ancestor could pull off such a grand gesture.

After several songs and dances, the dancers left, and then, surrounded by several young children, an old man with white hair and beard, who looked to be around seventy years old, walked out laughing.

"Hahaha! It is my great honor to have so many distinguished guests visit me today. I am here to thank you all for celebrating my birthday."

Blood Shark Ancestor, whose real name is Zhang Chengwu, one of the most powerful people in the entire Coral Islands, has officially appeared.

Everyone stood up, respectfully cupped their hands, and said in unison, "We wish Blood Shark Ancestor a long and healthy life!"

This is the blessing that Blood Shark Ancestor likes the most. He is happy as long as he is told that he will live a long life.

Ye Kang learned many secrets last night.

For example, Blood Shark Ancestor is the oldest supreme powerhouse.

When Huangye Zhenren of Huangye Island became famous, Blood Shark Ancestor was already an Eight Pillar Powerhouse.

At such an age, he is at risk of running out of lifespan at any time, so everyone in the Coral Islands knows that this guy is the most dangerous.

Because he could go crazy at any moment.

When the Blood Shark Ancestor saw everyone bowing, a smile immediately appeared on his lips: "Today is my birthday, no need for formalities. Everyone, let the singing and dancing continue, and enjoy the delicious food and drinks."

After saying that, he sat down in the chair and looked down at everyone.

Ye Kang looked over and was struck by an aura so powerful it could shatter one's soul, leaving him drenched in sweat.

This is the strongest person I've ever met besides Nie Qing; he's truly formidable.

Even if he had raised five pillars, he would still be no match for them.

The dancers and musicians had not yet appeared; everyone knew there was still a crucial step to be taken.

Countless eyes were fixed on the top five sects.

The meaning is simple: it's your turn to give gifts.

The leader of the Crimson Sword Sect was the first to stand up and said with a smile, "It is a joyous occasion to celebrate the Ancestor's birthday. Our sect's ancestor specially instructed us to prepare a longevity pill for you. This pill was left behind in an ancient cave. There are only three pills, and each pill can extend one's life by five years. We offer them all to the Ancestor, and we hope that the Ancestor will not find them too sparse."

Upon hearing this, all the guests nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, it's the same old trick.

The purpose of hosting an incredibly grand birthday banquet is to collect a wave of gifts that can prolong life.

The five sects had no choice but to prepare; this was a blatant conspiracy.

Upon hearing that it granted him a lifespan of fifteen years and that it was a pill he had never taken before, Blood Shark Ancestor was overjoyed: "Fellow Daoist Chixinzi is too kind. I will personally visit him another day."

After saying this, the congratulatory gift was accepted, and then the person in charge of Huangye Island also stood up.

They still use the same rhetoric: they are all treasures for prolonging life.

Zhang Zuisheng was the last to stand up and offered the Pure Essence Tree Fruit, which could extend one's life by twenty years.

The five sects combined granted him a full hundred years of lifespan.

Blood Shark Ancestor was overjoyed and immediately said, "Sit down, everyone, don't be shy, let's continue playing music and dancing!"

At this point, the dancers and musicians came out again, and the atmosphere became very lively.

However, at that moment, a voice came from the horizon.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, such a joyous occasion, why didn't you invite your old friend? Do you perhaps look down on me?"

The sound pierced through the great formation and resounded in everyone's ears. The aura contained within it made all the guests tremble, and they stared in disbelief as the great formation was slowly torn apart.

Outside the formation, hundreds of people stood on flying swords, their eyes sharp and their killing intent surging around Lingxi Island.

A flag fluttered in the air, leaving everyone stunned.

That is……

Tianya Haige!
