Chapter 504: Chapter 494: Such Gonggong Chapter 504: Chapter 494: Such Gonggong Upon hearing the mention of the Xuanhuang Qi, Yi Zheng also got startled.

He had an identity as a Sacrificial Refiner, following the Taiyin Armory to forge weapons. The Tianyin Armory provided a variety of Level divine materials and treasures for Yi Zheng to use in forging the designated Equipment of the Taiyin Armory.

Even now, Yi Zheng still had a Clone forging Equipment day and night.

Therefore, Yi Zheng did have some understanding of Artifact Refining.

The Xuanhuang Qi was not two different types of qi, but rather the first strand of qi from the opening of heaven and earth, hence it was also known as Origin Energy!

It was the mother of all qi between heaven and earth, and what made it rare was its natural origin. Most importantly, the Spiritual Treasures forged with it were absolutely top-notch! They were far beyond the Treasure Clothes that Yi Zheng had in his hands…

The difference between them was like heaven and earth, like clouds and mud!

Seeing how luxurious the carriage was, Yi Zheng couldn’t imagine how many top-level treasures the Jade Emperor had on him.

At this moment, he finally understood what royal magnificence meant!

While he was still shocked, a voice sounded from atop the carriage, “Everyone, rise!”

The voice was calm and even-keeled, devoid of domineering or ferocity, just a plain call that sounded very comfortable to the ear.

All the immortals rose to their feet and then broke into laughter, shedding their earlier seriousness as if waiting for an old friend to arrive.

Two very beautiful immortal ladies opened up the curtains of the carriage, followed by a middle-aged man dressed in Heaven and Earth Cloud Brocade, wearing a Purple Cloud Qiankun Crown. Although there was no divine light covering his face and Yi Zheng could easily see his features, he just couldn’t make out that face clearly. Or rather, his eyes saw it, but his mind couldn’t piece together the sight and analyze it!

That feeling was very strange…

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly at the immortals and said, “Alright, eat if you wish, drink if you desire. I am here for joy, not to dampen the spirit.”

The Group Immortals laughed heartily.

Following that, the Jade Emperor walked toward a small hill, which began to grow wildly as he approached. By the time the Jade Emperor stepped onto it, the hill had grown a bit taller than those of the Queen Mother of the West, the Queen Mother, and others!

With a wave of the Jade Emperor’s hand, the newly bare hill quickly aged before Yi Zheng’s eyes, cycling through hundreds of spring, summer, autumn, and winter seasons in a second. In the blink of an eye, it was covered with dense ancient woodlands, with creatures reproducing and thriving on the high mountain. Yi Zheng even saw humans running on the mountain, followed by high-rise buildings rising from the ground, with planes, cannons, and tanks roaring until they finally fell silent in bright mushroom clouds, after which bizarre creatures emerged…

Of course, nobody seemed to care about the lives and deaths of these beings. At this moment, Yi Zheng truly felt what it meant to be unempathetic like heaven and earth, treating all beings as mere straw dogs!

When you stand high enough, the lives and deaths of the creatures on that mountain are but brief advertisements in the blink of an eye.

Who would care about them?

“I must grow stronger!” Yi Zheng reaffirmed this thought once again.

The Jade Emperor had already stepped onto the high mountain, reigning supreme over the immortals.

Just then, a loud shout came, “I’m here!”

Then everyone saw a yellow halo flowing in the distance. A burly man came forward, holding a half-strangled Water Dragon in one hand and carrying a mountain in the other, stepping through the sky but making sounds as if he trod on the ground!

This burly man was tens of thousands of feet tall, and as he came closer, he grew even taller, and the mountain in his hand also increased in size. When he arrived at the scene, he simply threw the mountain onto the ground, then sat on it with a wide-mouthed chuckle and said, “Long time no see, everyone!”

Yi Zheng was at a loss for words; at the Pan Peach Festival, someone actually brought his own stool!

When he saw the man toss the blue Water Dragon onto the platform and say, “Hey you, go help the Chef God with this, and add more chili!”

Yi Zheng’s eyes nearly popped out; this guy not only brought his own stool but also his own ingredients, and was even giving orders for the dish!

The man sat there brazenly, legs crossed, snapping his fingers with a look of utter disregard for everyone as if he were blind, not giving anyone a moment’s notice.

He didn’t even greet the Jade Emperor the entire time, just sitting there cheekily, without even a proper glance at anyone.

As he passed by, the Group Immortals made way for him, as if avoiding a venomous snake–clearly, he was not someone to be trifled with.

The burly man’s eyes swept around arrogantly, looking at everyone as if they were mere dogs, not taking anyone seriously. Even though the immortals were incensed, none spoke up.

That look was just like how the villagers used to look at Yi Zheng when he led a yellow goat and a big white goose as a child, full of disdain.

However, the man seemed unfazed, shaking his big feet and casually glancing around. His gaze suddenly fixed on a big mountain next to him, and then his big head started to sweat profusely.

Eventually, he licked his lips, cracked a smile, and chuckled dryly, “Uh… Boss Lady, long time no see.”

“Scram!” The Queen Mother of the West retained her domineering presence.

“Sure thing!”

The burly man sprang up, picked up the big mountain, and ran off. He didn’t stop until he reached the edge of the mountains, near where Yi Zheng and the others were, before putting the mountain down and sighing in relief, and then he sat down on it.

Witnessing this scene, Yi Zheng was astounded, “Goodness, our village girl is indeed powerful.”

Yi Zheng asked in the group chat of five, “Who is this big guy?”

The Kaiming Beast replied, “Oh, that’s Gonggong.”

What?!

Yi Zheng was completely stunned.

In his mind, Gonggong was the being who rode on twin dragons and controlled the waters of myriad realms, with blue hair and a fearsomely majestic presence.

In ancient myths, Gonggong was an Innate Demon God with formidable strength.

In this novel, Gonggong is one of the twelve ancestral witches, with an Invincible physical body, and roamed without restraint beneath Saints.

But this guy right now…

Yi Zheng suddenly remembered what the Queen Mother of the West had said; it seemed like it was this Sun Tzu who had taken away the Queen Mother’s golden jade mountain to plug the water eye.

For this, the Queen Mother had once pursued him to kill him, but in the end, it was Lady Houtu who intervened and compensated the Queen Mother with one-third of Kunlun Mountain to soothe her wrath.

No wonder this guy looks like a mouse seeing a cat in front of the Queen Mother, instantly turning into a coward.

The actions of these few guys huddling together and whispering caught Gonggong’s attention, and his large eyes swept over them.

The gaze of that Innate Demon God was even fiercer than Lu Ya’s; as it swept over them, they all jumped in fright.

However, Gonggong had no ill intent, just staring with his eyeballs and said, “What bad things are you mutts whispering about me for? Speak up if you’ve got something to say, I’m not afraid of being scolded!”

Yi Zheng responded with a wry smile, “Who scolded you?”

Gonggong was stunned: “You didn’t scold me? Then why are you guys secretly chatting behind my back, why not just say it out loud?”

Yi Zheng was rendered speechless by this bizarre logic.

But Ying Zhao was the wiliest, quickly saying, “We’re discussing some brotherly little secrets, of course, we can’t just blurt them out.”

Gonggong’s interest was piqued, and with a large sweep of his hand, amid a rumbling sound, the stool beneath his buttocks was dragged over, he leaned in his big head, grinned, and said, “Can I listen in?”

Such an abrupt request made Yi Zheng roll his eyes.

He had seen people who were overly familiar, but never someone who disregarded their outsider status to such an extent.

Yi Zheng said, “Big guy, the secrets we’re discussing are our own brothers’ secrets, it’s not too great for you to listen, is it?”

Gonggong dismissed it, saying, “That doesn’t matter, from now on, we’re brothers! Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Then he continued to stare with his big eyeballs at the five guys.

Those five guys were utterly baffled!

Ying Zhao, Kaiming Beast, Lu Wu, and Rare had never been to the Pan Peach Festival before and had not encountered a goofball like Gonggong; they were at a loss, their eyes glazed over, not knowing what to do.

On the contrary, Yi Zheng didn’t have much psychological pressure; now he had support and seniority.

This was the Pan Peach Festival, and nobody dared to engage in combat here.

So he was boldly assertive!

Yi Zheng said, “Gonggong, right? Brotherhood isn’t just proclaimed.”

“So what, we need to drink a bowl of Bai Rooster’s blood?” As he said this, he glanced towards the twelve Zodiac Gods huddled together drinking, at the Bai Rooster.

The Bai Rooster’s feathers instantly stood on end, and it anxiously shouted, “What are you looking at me for? There’s a chicken in the constellation of the twenty-eight lodges too!”

Then Gonggong looked towards the Bai Rooster of the twenty-eight lodges, whose comb, except for being a rooster, was snow-white all over, known as the Maori Star Officer.

The Maori Star Officer also felt on edge: “What are you looking at me for? Brotherly bonding is auspicious, people use red roosters! Who ever uses a white rooster!”

Gonggong thought that made sense and looked back in the direction of the Zodiac, but that rooster had long since run off without a trace!

Gonggong’s face darkened: “How about we use dog’s blood instead?”

The Zodiac dog, who was eating at that moment, shuddered in fright.

Yi Zheng quickly called a halt, lest Gonggong kept calling out and soon it would be the rabbit’s blood’s turn.

Yi Zheng said, “No need for sworn brotherhood, brotherhood lies in the wine!

The table was a huge disc floating in the Void; since dinner hadn’t started yet, there were only some Spirit Fruits and Jade Liquid Wine on the table.

Since Yi Zheng came here, he hadn’t had a moment of peace and hadn’t had a chance to drink.

Now, as he picked up the wine pot, he was greeted by a refreshing aroma that immediately told him, a man who had been drinking for years, that this was an extraordinary brew!

Yi Zheng hurriedly poured the wine, not bothering to serve others first, and downed a cup himself.

Upon entering his throat, the taste of hundreds of flowers and fruits exploded! The fragrance was elegant and not overpowering, it flowed through his throat like a warm and smooth spring entering his stomach.

Then the wine burst forth, unique Spiritual Energy spread throughout, merging into his blood and into every cell, eventually reaching his soul and intoxicating it at that moment.

Yi Zheng squinted his eyes with satisfaction: “Comfortable!”

However, before Yi Zheng could savor it, he felt his two Golden Cores suddenly vibrating, and then the Spiritual Energy was swept away by the two cores. Yi Zheng sobered up in an instant…

Yi Zheng smacked his lips, savoring the incredibly sweet and pleasant taste that seemed to linger in his mouth, but the next moment it was gone, leaving him somewhat unsatisfied.

So he didn’t call out to the others, but lifted the wine pot directly to his lips and started chugging down the bottle.

Seeing this, Ying Zhao, Kaiming Beast, Lu Wu, and Rare immediately panicked: “Rabbit, slow down on the drinking! We haven’t had a turn yet! Save some for us!”
