My projections are all the roots of the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 427 Banquet
"Congratulations to the elder for his great achievement."

"Welcome back, Elder."

…………

At the entrance of the royal city, hundreds of people greeted Xu Yi with great fanfare.

From a distance, Xu Jun looked a little embarrassed.

Level three, Jindan cultivator.

Among the countless cultivators, those who can be promoted to the third level are all geniuses selected from thousands of people.

Whether in the Immortal Alliance or in the major projection worlds, Jindan Zhenren are absolutely the best among people.

However, when Xu Jun and Xu Yi reached the level of cultivation, they had seen too many strong people. Moreover, they had also hunted and killed top-level third-level monsters with their own hands, so they felt that the third-level golden elixir was nothing special.

But in fact, even the Yuanying Zhenjun cannot guarantee that their descendants will be able to advance to the level of the third-order Jindan.

In the vast tribe, the third-order physical cultivators are already the absolute backbone of the force. No matter which tribe they are placed in, they at least have the status of elders.

Any newly promoted third-level Jindan is eligible to enjoy the warmest welcome ceremony when entering the city for the first time.

What's more, this is a super genius who can kill the third-order golden elixir-level peacock demon in a life-and-death battle at the foundation-building stage.

That is to say, Xu Jun grew up in the Immortal Alliance and was incompatible with the customs of the tribe, so he felt his scalp tingling and uncomfortable everywhere.

Xu Yi accepted this calmly. He had seen similar scenes several times over the past few decades, so he was used to it.

"Haha, congratulations, Elder Xu, on advancing to the Golden Elixir stage. From now on, you can travel the world freely." An old man walked over with a smile.

Most of the welcoming crowd were second-level physical cultivators, except for this old man, who had a faint aura that belonged only to the third level.

Xu Yi glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Elder Boyang. But I'm only at the third level, so I can't be called that."

Xu Jun nodded secretly. Yes, if you want to travel the world freely from now on, being a mere third level is indeed a bit beyond your capabilities.

Perhaps, only when you reach the fifth level of Divine Transformation will you be qualified to say such things.

Boyang shook his head and said helplessly: "Elder Xu, the Great Elder is hosting a banquet at home to celebrate for you. I wonder if you would be willing to do the honor."

Xu Yi frowned and asked, "When?"

"today."

"No." Xu Yi said without hesitation: "According to the tribal rules, I must attend the clan leader's banquet on the first day of my promotion."

There was a gleam in Boyang's eyes, and he seemed to want to say something.

However, at this moment, Xu Yi suddenly looked up, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his calm eyes.

In an instant, the hairs on Boyang's body stood up. He felt as if he was being stared at by some ancient beast that could devour him at any time.

At this moment, Boyang finally remembered the other party's identity.

Xu Yi is not some ordinary newly promoted third level.

When he was building his foundation, he killed the peacock demon that caused headaches and fear to countless members of his clan.

Now that Xu Yi has been promoted to the third level, to what extent will his strength rise?

Boyang is not optimistic about whether he can defeat the fourth level.

However, it probably wouldn't take too much effort to kill him.

So, Boyang lowered his head and said slowly: "I understand, Elder, please."

He made way, Xu Yi held his head high, walked through the crowd, and came to Xu Jun in the distance.

The two nodded and left side by side.

Behind them, Boyang just watched but did not dare to show any hostility.

"Haha, in the fight between the clan leader and the great elder, are you planning to stand on the clan leader's side?" Xu Jun asked with a grin.

Although Xu Jun had never lived in the tribe, he knew about it because of Xu Yi.

In the tribal royal city, the tribal king and the great elder represent two forces respectively.

The reason why they are called two forces is that behind each of them, there is a fifth-level super strong man.

Moreover, the tribal king Yi and the great elders are both known as super geniuses who have the potential to be promoted to the fifth level.

Of course, having hope does not mean that they will definitely be promoted. On the contrary, the probability of failure is as high as 99%.

In the tribe, the person who is unanimously favored to be promoted to the fifth level is Xu Yi, who was just promoted to the third level today.

At this time, the newly appointed third-level elder Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "The fight between them has nothing to do with me."

"Haha, you still say it doesn't matter. The place where you live now and the usual training resources are not all given by the king of the tribe?"

"That was given by the tribe, not the king of the tribe." Xu Yi said calmly.

Xu Jun nodded slightly, patted his shoulder, and said, "Okay, sober man, remember to keep it up."

Indeed, although Xu Yi’s advancement was due to the strong support of the tribe.

However, these resources come from the tribe itself, rather than from the gift of Yi, the king of the tribe.

If Xu Yi had not shown a talent that could dominate his generation, he would not have been able to alarm the two fifth-level masters, let alone obtain this kind of extra, almost unconditional support.

Therefore, Xu Yi now has the qualification to not take sides.

He just needs to practice hard and continue to show his strength and potential to the tribe, then whether the king of the tribe wins or the great elder wins, it will not have any impact on him.

Suddenly, Xu Yi stopped and looked at Xu Jun with a strange look.

Xu Jun was stunned at first, then he understood and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

During the time when Xu Yi was striving to reach the third level, Xu Jun was not too idle either.

The tribal king Yi tirelessly recommended three tribal beauties to him, one of whom even had the strength of the peak of the second level.

It’s a pity that the tribe is taking the path of physical cultivation.

Although the girls here are not so strong that they can run horses on their arms, they are all strong and sturdy, and are not inferior to boys.

Although Xu Jun understood that for cultivators, form is emptiness and emptiness is form, he really could not feel the slightest bit of affection for this kind of women.

So, he hasn't been having a good time these days.

This was even more so for Xu Yi. Both the tribal king Yi and the great elders arranged countless blind dates for him.

It's a pity that up to now, Xu Yi has always been the number one in martial arts and has never been given any color, which makes countless people cry out in pity.

"Elder Xu, congratulations on your advancement." A big man in front of him clasped his fists and said, "The clan leader is holding a banquet in the main hall to congratulate you."

Xu Yi kept walking and said, "Let's go."

It is a tribal tradition for the clan leader to host a banquet, but for the great elder to host a banquet is just cutting corners.

Although Xu Yi is simple-minded and strong-limbed, it is precisely because of this that he speaks his mind without caring about anything else, which makes people helpless.

Xu Jun naturally followed, and the two crossed the street and stopped in front of a magnificent hall.

Xu Jun was familiar with this place. He learned from Xu Yi's memory that this was the place used for major activities such as sacrifices and celebrations in the tribe.

However, as far as he knew, the promotion celebrations for several previous third-level Jindan masters were not held here.

Being able to hold it in a side hall is already a great honor.

But now, seeing the warm atmosphere ahead, it was clear that the main hall had been opened.

As expected, Xu Yi was different in the tribe. If it were someone else, they would probably feel flattered if they were suddenly honored with this honor.

But what kind of person is Xu Yi? He has the holy body of Pixiu, the holy body of the Demon God, and the will of iron!

He had seen many big scenes, and in a life-and-death battle, he had even personally killed the Peacock Demon.

So, he glanced around and walked forward openly, not showing any fear no matter who he was facing.

Xu Jun took a half step back and followed him into the hall.

The protagonist now is Xu Yi, and he doesn't want to steal the limelight.

However, just as they entered the hall, Xu Jun frowned slightly.

Because he found that almost all the powerful eyes were now fixed on him.

Strange, how come I became the protagonist?

Xu Yi stopped, frowned slightly, and glared at the elders present without hiding his anger.

His gaze was like the sharpest blade, cutting through the void and locking onto these people.

Suddenly, more than ten people at the banquet looked embarrassed and looked away angrily.

No one wanted to offend Xu Yi at this moment, even though they were all third-level veteran Jindan elders.

But what about the oldest golden elixir?

Any veteran Jindan elder who had faced the Peacock Demon and survived would not dare to provoke Xu Yi.

"Hey, Xu Yi, congratulations."

Suddenly, a hearty voice sounded from the podium.

There were three people sitting on the high platform.

Sitting in the first seat was Yi, the king of the tribe.

Besides him, there was a man and a woman. The lady had a very beautiful face, but her figure was hard to describe. If her figure was shrunk by half the proportion, she would definitely be Xu Yi's type.

The one who was speaking at this moment was another middle-aged man. He was sturdy, fat, and had a rough face. When he spoke, even the air around him seemed to tremble.

Xu Jun took a look, felt a chill in his heart, and lowered his head slightly.

The great group of elders.

In the tribe, every strong man has his own name.

However, there are two names that have been passed down for thousands of years and will never change.

Whoever takes over as the clan leader will be the tribal king Yi. Similarly, whoever takes over the position of the great elder will be renamed Qun.

The only two fifth-level super powers left in the tribe today were once Yi of a certain era and Qun of another era.

Xu Yi bowed his head, clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Great Elder."

"No thanks." Qun smiled and said, "You can successfully advance to the third level, which is a blessing for the tribe. However, you still need to guard against arrogance and impatience, work hard on your cultivation, and don't let this talent go to waste."

"Yes."

Xu Jun secretly complained, didn't the elder send someone to say that he would hold a banquet in the mansion? But he showed up here...

All I can say is, if you have no shame, you are invincible!
Not sure if he heard Xu Jun's thoughts, Qun turned around and asked, "Is this your former best friend?"

"Yes." Xu Yi said solemnly.

The crowd stared at Xu Jun, their eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Xu Jun smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Great Elder."

At the banquet, several third-level people showed displeasure on their faces.

He is only at the foundation-building stage, yet he dares to be so arrogant in front of a fourth-level elder. He doesn't even kneel down to pay homage. This is simply unforgivable.

However, when the person who wanted to scold turned his head, he suddenly saw Xu Yi standing beside him.

Therefore, no matter how much dissatisfaction they had in their hearts, they had to suppress it.

There was no other way. No matter how stubborn they were, they dared not confront Xu Yi, a prodigy who was destined to have a bright future.

Qun smiled and said, "Your name is Xu Jun?"

"Exactly."

"You are not from our tribe."

Xu Jun said solemnly: "I am just a casual cultivator."

"Very good." Qun said calmly, "To be regarded as a friend of life and death by Elder Xu Yi, you must be a child of destiny." He suddenly pointed with his hand and said, "Look, the outstanding men of our tribe are here. Are you interested in sparring with them?"

Xu Jun looked in the direction he pointed.

Although the hall is spacious, it is divided into three distinct parts.

Three fourth-level elders were sitting high on the throne, and in the middle was a group of third-level Jindan elders.

Sitting below were the largest number of second-order physical cultivators.

Among them, there was one person that Xu Jun had the honor of meeting, and that was the second-level peak female physical cultivator that he had been avoiding at all costs.

They were sitting at the bottom, and when they heard Qun's instructions, everyone straightened their chests and looked at Xu Jun with provocative eyes.

Obviously, no matter which side they belonged to, they were all willing to take action on this occasion and have a friendly exchange with Xu Jun.

This is the traditional custom of the tribe. Especially at this time, everyone will rush to be the first and unwilling to fall behind.

As for whether they could beat Xu Jun, that was not within their consideration.

If you don't even dare to take action, that would be truly embarrassing.

The corners of Xu Jun's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at them with interest, just like an adult looking at a group of children.

I can even kill Jindan, and they come up to fight with me?

Does this count as punching Nanshan Kindergarten?
On the high platform, the three fourth-level people looked at each other, and a very strange feeling suddenly arose in their hearts.

This kid gave them the impression that he was not very old, and could even be said to be very young and naive.

However, he seemed to have a background that was the result of time, which even they could not ignore.

Such a strong sense of contradiction appears in a person, making it impossible for them to make judgments.

However, because of Xu Yi, they didn't want to do anything that might cause misunderstanding.

Until this moment, Xu Yi has advanced back safely. In front of Xu Yi, they can make some attempts.

With a helpless sigh, Xu Jun knew that today's competition was unavoidable.

After all, this is someone else's territory, and they won't feel at ease if you don't reveal any secrets.

"Since the Great Elder has such a refined taste, I dare not disobey." Xu Jun clasped his fists and said, "Please let the Great Elder call my name."

Qun looked at Xu Jun deeply, then looked at Xu Yi who was silent beside him, pondered for a moment, and said: "Okay, Tan Gu, you take action."

"Yes."

A male cultivator stood up from his seat and walked proudly in front of Xu Jun.
