Chapter 1263: Chapter 480: Heavenly Gods Banquet_2
"Let’s go in first, if we miss the time, the banquet will be over."
Ye Yin, pressing his brow, slowly said:
"All my intelligence sources indicate that the Heavenly Realm is currently not united as one."
"The Miemeng Divine Bird, with its Divine Enthronement level combat power, forcibly slaughtered all remnants of Divine Trace Lineage from the Ancient Era and even the Near Ancient Era in the Heavenly Realm, using iron-blooded measures to purge threats."
"By doing so, they may seem invincible on the surface, but secretly, who knows how many creatures resent them."
"As long as we can enter the Heavenly Realm, remain inactive, and observe patiently, the conspiracy will inevitably be exposed."
"If it really comes to it, we’ll first gather intelligence, then look for another opportunity to make a move."
"Sounds good."
Ye Hanjun nodded slightly, decisively.
Ye Yin is trustworthy, and since he has a plan in mind, let’s go ahead.
The Miemeng Divine Bird Clan emphasizes proving their religious doctrine, but what of it? If the Ancestor Asura King could kill one, he could kill one too!
"Speaking of which... has there been any movement from the Little Earth Immortal?"
GuaGua raised his hand to ask.
Over the years, Ye Liuying and Ye Yin have both ascended to sainthood, how come this first Taoist hasn’t shown any signs yet?
"No, Flower God Valley remains as tranquil as ever, no creature from outside can step foot in it."
Ye Yin shook his head:
"It might not be a bad thing that Yu Ruoxin is in seclusion."
"With all the chaos in All Heavens right now, having a sanctuary is indeed a stroke of luck."
"Good, I kind of miss her~~"
GuaGua shook his head, flinging the image of Yu Ruoxin holding a shovel out of his mind, and cheerfully said:
"Let’s set off, to the Heavenly Realm!"
"Apparently, the Heavenly Realm is the major base for the Fond Spirits; wouldn’t it be splendid if the Holy Nest of the Big Iron Goose could be established here?"
...
Half an hour later, Ascension City, city square.
This city, with a population of a million, is nominally a outpost of the Heavenly Realm.
Only through ’Ascension Staircase’, the portal to the Heavenly Realm opens, allowing creatures of both realms to traverse.
"Treasure-Hunting Sect? Just a moment."
The guards at the Ascension Staircase are all ninth-rank Saints, precisely ten of them.
After validating the invitation in Li Youbao’s hand, they performed multiple checks on the four people led by Ye Hanjun using special instruments, formations, and the senses of Holy Beasts such as smell and vision.
Ye Hanjun allowed the inspection.
This kind of examination was actually very superficial, as spiritual beings with Divinity are all from Divine Trace Lineage, all possessing means to reach heaven.
Even if someone didn’t have Divinity, even if they were a Holy King, the guards wouldn’t fear them, not considering them a threat.
The whole process took about three hours.
When the Ascension Staircase was finally positioned overhead, Ye Hanjun slowly began to climb, feeling somewhat surprised.
The sealed Realm of Desire has a very narrow entrance at the Desire Village.
The Heavenly Realm isn’t sealed, and while the Ascension Staircase appears only wide enough for one person, in reality, there are countless parallel ladders, with creatures constantly climbing in and out, just invisible to ordinary eyes.
"Wow, so many winged Fond Spirits!"
"However, it seems not all of them are from Feather Clan; mostly they are Demon beasts or wild beasts, real Feather Clan members are very rare..."
GuaGua, without exerting any effort, just needed to hold onto Ye Hanjun’s clothes for sightseeing.
When those curious avian creatures entered their sight, the little one was initially excited, only to soon wonder:
"There are no Angels..."
"Big Tadpole, in the Heavenly System, Angels and the Feather Clan are supposed to each make up half, right?"
"Could it be that at Cloud Sea, they really did eradicate the Holy Angels cleanly, to the extent that this species is almost extinct?"
"Mmm, the Light Witch God was in power, and was very unfriendly to the Angel Clan."
"Especially the Holy Angels, who are affiliated with the Light Element; the Light Witch Goddess was relentless in hunting them."
"Back in the Ancient Era, the Angel Clan had two Divine Angels; the situation for them in the New Era is undoubtedly dire."
Ye Hanjun reminisced about the past, pondering the present, expressing with a sigh:
"However, the Heavenly Realm is also the birthplace of the Angel Clan."
"As long as the Heavenly Realm exists, the Angel Clan will not be completely eradicated."
"Regardless of their scarce number in the outside world, within the Heavenly Realm, one could expect to see a certain proportion of Angelic type Fond Spirits."
"Yay!" GuaGua was about to cheer.
Ye Yin frowned slightly, presenting the latest intelligence:
"In the conservative faction of the Heavenly Realm, there originally existed a lineage of Divine Angels, albeit few in number, they were deserving of respect."
"However, once the Miemeng Divine Bird attained divine Dao, the first thing it did was to slaughter them."
"Along with the families and sects that believed in the Divine Angels, anyone who didn’t submit to the Meng Family was completely eradicated."
"How could this be..."
GuaGua, who had always been fond of myths related to angels, puffed up his cheeks indignantly and said:
"The despicable Meng Family, in order to take over the Heavenly Realm, their methods are so brutal!"
"Are there still any Heavenly Divine Enthronements? Could it be that the Miemeng Divine Bird reigns supreme alone? That’s just too abnormal!"
"No, on Fire God Mountain, there is still a Feathered Divine Enthronement, whose bloodline is said to be related to the Phoenix."
"But occupying Fire God Mountain, he never cared about the affairs of the Heavenly Realm, the rise and fall of the Heavenly Realm had nothing to do with him."
Ye Yin revealed a hint of confusion and hesitated:
"There is another one... I don’t know about."
"After the fall of the Eighteen-Winged Divine Angel, the whereabouts of his Divinity is unknown to anyone."
"Currently, it might be vacant, or perhaps another spirit controls it."
"In any case, the achievements of the Miemeng Divine Bird cannot be erased, able to emerge victorious among the myriad of Feather Clan, reigniting divine blood in a family that had been declining and had lost its divinity for many years."
"Such achievements, if recorded in history, would certainly be embellished with flourish."
"Hmph, he won’t be jumping around for much longer!"
"Once Grandpa Muyi makes a move, even if the original Miemeng Divine Bird resurrects from death, Grandpa Muyi could still shatter him!"
GuaGua clenched his little fists, suddenly hopped onto the step, and then jumped high towards the uppermost level:
"When the time comes, slay the Miemeng Divine Bird and find a way to extract the Heavenly Godhood!"
"Big Iron Goose strives a bit more, attains demigod status, and then it can refine Godhood and realize its dream!"
"Let’s hope so."
Ye Hanjun chased after GuaGua, and then at the highest peak, he jumped into the void.
"Whoosh—"
As if plummeting off a cliff, an intense feeling of weightlessness lingered around him.
In the next instant, their bodies suddenly lightened, and a world different from before perfectly embraced them.
"Is this the Heavenly Realm? Indeed, just like the legends, extraordinarily light."
Ye Liuying waved his arms, clearly without flapping any wings, yet he could float in the air.
This was truly an unusual experience, any creature coming to the Heavenly Realm can fly; those predators living on the ground must find it difficult to adapt, right?
"Gentlemen, are you here for the Heavenly Gods Banquet? This way, please."
A Fond Spirit in the form of an ape, covered with fluff yet dressed in a suit and tie like a high-class servant.
It gave a faint smile, directed everyone to board a carriage, then with a flick of the reins, the winged Pegasus immediately plunged in a direction.
Along the way, the sky sometimes showered down feather rain, at other times the feathers went berserk forming a storm, creating spatial turbulence that interfered with passage.
The ape servant, adept with skills, maintained a smooth experience as if walking on flat ground.
Finally, a lavish palace floating high in the sky gradually entered their perception.
Boundless and vast, it was sprawling in the void like a giant Roc spreading its wings.
The Pegasus carriage landed on the plume, and soon, a group of young women of the Winged People, holding fruit trays, greeted them with smiles.
"Gentlemen, this way, please."
"The Heavenly Gods Banquet goes on for ten years, with thousand-year-old spiritual fruits, myriad spiritual medicines, everything you can think of."
"Over here is the Gallery of Immortal Dance, where human women dance day and night, sexy, aesthetic, alluring... anything you can imagine that can be done."
"Over here is the Hall of Aura Divination with proficient sacred spirits providing blessings."
"The Stone Betting Palace, a small bet boosts morale, the best solution for boredom..."
"The Hall of Nourishment, with over thirteen thousand different types of medicinal herbs, a sacred bathing place..."
Ye Hanjun toured around, only feeling that the Meng Family’s main base was extremely lavish, seemingly all newly built, not a single place was shabby or humble.
He directly asked:
"Where do all the great clans of the heavens banquet?"
"We want to see the world, can we go directly there, ignoring the trivial details?"
"At your command, sir."
A coquettish smile played on the lips of the Winged People’s maiden as she led everyone toward the most spacious main road:
"Ahead is the Palace of Heavenly Gods, although gentlemen can enter, you can only stay at the lower seats."
"Please adhere to the relevant etiquette; if you meet the direct lineage of the Meng Family, you must bow your heads, do not forget."
