Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Nirvana Pills are extremely rare treasures in the Barbarian King Sect. People would rather break one in half to use it. Even so, the old master could not gather enough Nirvana Pills to break through to the Nirvana Realm, so he had to settle for advancing to the half-step Nirvana Realm.

Thinking of this, Man Shan immediately poured himself another large cup. He wouldn't normally be so extravagant as to use Nirvana Qi for cultivation, but since he had encountered such a good opportunity, he couldn't miss it!

Du Yun, with a cold expression, didn't stand on ceremony and drank one cup after another, feeling the burning sensation of Nirvana Qi in his body. At this moment, his bottleneck was loosening.

The two of them were already just one step away from the Qi Creation Realm, and after returning this time, they will surely be able to break through that threshold naturally.

On the other side, Wang Yan, Qin Shi, and other clan members looked at the fiery red nectar with surprise in their eyes.

Compared to Du Yunman Mountain, one of the three major sects, the few from the four major clans knew more about the royal family. Although the royal family's foundation was indeed stronger than that of other Great Yan dynasties, using Nirvana Pills to entertain guests... was probably not that extravagant.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Just as everyone was lost in thought, a loud shout came from outside the main hall. Everyone's eyes lit up as they saw a palanquin pulled by eight strange beasts slowly approaching from the sky, accompanied by ancient music, radiating brilliance and exuding a magnificent aura.

The eight-headed beast pulling the chariot lowered its height and stopped directly on the jade steps outside the main hall, its imposing presence drawing attention.

The people inside the hall felt the powerful aura of those strange beasts, and their eyes twitched involuntarily. A beast at the third level of the Creation Realm pulling a carriage—the appearance of a royal expert was truly impressive.

Immediately, a figure stepped out of the palanquin and appeared in everyone's sight.

He was a tall, elderly man, dressed in a black robe, exuding unparalleled nobility. Although his graying temples revealed some signs of aging, the majesty emanating from his eyes subtly revealed the power and influence he once wielded.

The royal patriarch, Mo Yuanzhen, is the most senior Nirvana Realm expert in the Great Yan Dynasty!

"I am very pleased that you all have come to the banquet today. Please forgive me if there is anything I have done poorly in our hospitality."

The old man in the black robe stepped into the main hall and spoke amidst awe-inspiring gazes. His voice was booming, like the roar of a lion.

"Greetings, senior!"

Everyone rose to greet him, for the person before them was a genuine Nirvana Realm expert, a pinnacle of the Great Yan Dynasty, capable of suppressing a top-tier force single-handedly.

Even geniuses like Lin Langtian and Huangpu Ying, who came from the four major clans, rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with Nirvana Realm experts within their clans. Now, having personally experienced the vast and profound Yuan Power of the royal ancestor, everyone restrained their arrogance.

The gap between the Creation Realm and the Nirvana Realm is like a chasm. A casual aura from the royal ancestor can suppress everyone in the hall, making them unable to raise their heads. In front of him, so-called geniuses are nothing more than juniors who have not yet grown up.

Mo Yuanzhen's imposing aura was only briefly unleashed before he quickly withdrew it. His gaze swept over the many figures present, finally settling on the white-clad woman who remained seated calmly in the corner. Seeing her composed demeanor, a profound meaning flickered in Mo Yuanzhen's eyes.

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Mo Yuanzhen immediately walked slowly to the main seat in the hall, looking down at the distinguished figures in front of him.

"You are all outstanding talents of my Great Yan Dynasty. Today, we are gathered together, which reminds me of some things from my youth. Hehe, please forgive my rudeness."

Everyone declined, saying they dared not. Wang Yan and the others, led by the four major clans, stepped forward one by one to offer their birthday wishes to the royal patriarch.

Mo Yuanzhen, with a calm expression, looked at the respectfully bowing young figure and spoke leisurely:

"Go back and tell Wang Lei that I am aware of the sincerity of the Wang clan. In the next seed selection, if any outstanding juniors stand out, I will personally send them into the ancient battlefield, just as I did a hundred years ago."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan clicked his tongue in amazement. Clan Chief Wang Lei had stood out in the Seed Competition a hundred years ago. The royal expert who presided over the competition was none other than Mo Yuanzhen. Even though the former had now advanced to the Nirvana Realm, he was still a rising star in the face of such an ancient existence.

"You are Lin Langtian? Not bad, you have some of the demeanor of your clan leader back then. It is truly a blessing for the dynasty that the Lin clan has such an outstanding descendant..."

Following Wang and Lin, Mo Yuanzhen then commented on the four major clans and the various forces present. Although his words were amiable, his condescending attitude was naturally revealed. This veteran Nirvana Realm expert used a tone that made the younger generation, who relied on the power behind them, feel a sense of awe when he mentioned the pillars of the various forces in the Great Yan Dynasty.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, only this ancient royal ancestor, with his terrifyingly long history, would have the right to address the heads of the four major clans by their names as senior figures.

Don't be fooled by the fact that a Nirvana Realm expert might seem to be condescending in front of a group of younger generations. In reality, the purpose of the royal ancestor holding a birthday banquet for himself was to show off his divine power in front of others.

Mo Yuanzhen, who is nearly 600 years old, may have already exceeded the limit of the Nirvana Realm. In the eyes of some people, this former royal tiger is now in his twilight years and it is unknown how much of his former power he can still maintain.

Therefore, Mo Yuanzhen would openly appear at the royal birthday banquet held every few years, displaying the power of the Nirvana Realm. This was to let people know that he was just old, but still a powerful figure who could intimidate all sides.

The current Great Yan royal family possesses unprecedented strength, with two Nirvana Realm experts, one of whom has even survived the Nirvana Tribulation. Such power is enough to deter the ambitions of various forces within the Great Yan Dynasty. If the royal family were to produce another Nirvana Realm expert, it would be enough to truly and completely control the power of the entire dynasty and attempt to break through to the level of a mid-level dynasty.

Inside the main hall, the young talents looked on with awe as the royal patriarch spoke eloquently, and the atmosphere at the banquet was quite harmonious.

However, the serene and aloof fairy in the corner seemed out of place amidst the lively banquet. After commenting on everyone present, the royal patriarch finally rose slowly and turned his gaze to that elegant figure in white.

"My men reported that a few days ago, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in the capital, who must have been you. Now that I have seen her, I know it is true; your beauty truly deserves the title of 'peerless'!"

Seeing that Mo Yuanzhen had taken the initiative to steer the conversation toward the woman in white, although no one in the room spoke, all eyes immediately turned to that graceful figure like a tidal wave...
