Chapter 1267: Chapter 1271: Birthday Celebration

“Asking me to avenge you, let’s forget it. What I dislike the most are conflicts and killings. The years are so peacefully tranquil; why not lay down the butcher’s knife?” Zhu Minglang said.

“No, no, no, I have no intention of seeking revenge. Those who plotted against me were simply after the path of immortality. Had I been in their shoes, I too might have paid any price. It’s just that I cannot get over my worries about my little daughter. I calculated the tides, and her birthday is coming soon. I hope you can bring a gift for her…” the Phantom said.

“Oh?” Zhu Minglang raised his eyebrows, starting to grow curious about the identity of this skeletal remains.

“It’s embarrassing to say, but in my pursuit of becoming the Moon Radiance God, I hardly remember what my little girl looks like. My heart is filled with much guilt. I had promised to give her a grand gift on her birthday, yet she was not able to celebrate before I died here, my soul bound in this dark creek by immortal techniques. Had not the Superior Immortal Godform’s power been so mighty, forgotten for hundreds of years, nobody would have come to pick up my bones,” the Phantom said.

“If it’s just a small favor like this, of course, I can help you with it,” Zhu Minglang said.

“The gift is buried in the dark sand behind my dry bones. After you’ve delivered the item, you can go to the seventh floor of the Divine Scripture Pavilion and take away some treasures I’ve hidden there. They are not extremely valuable, but they represent your act of transformation,” the Phantom said.

“Alright,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

Only then did the Phantom slowly fade away, its lingering soul departing towards the darkness of the creek.

Zhu Minglang went to the back and dug through the dark sand, but he did not see anything.

He dug deeper and eventually found a box made of divine xin wood, which was locked.

Zhu Minglang could have easily consumed the contents of the box, but as a deity who advocates public morality, taking such petty advantage would diminish his own virtue.

Of course, if the contents were particularly good, losing some virtue would not really matter to Zhu Minglang.

Since he had promised, Zhu Minglang did not intend to peek at what was inside.

…

The fishing harvest was bountiful.

The pearl spat out by the Gold Scale Immortal Spirit had ample spirit root, and it easily promoted the Nine-tailed Dragon to the God principal level.

And the Chongwang Dragon, after consuming the bones of such a deity close to the Moon Radiance God, was continuously exuding scorching dragon light all over its body.

This brilliance lasted for a long time, and it seemed to scorch the body of the Chongwang Dragon.

It wasn’t that the phantom meant to harm the Chongwang Dragon, but rather the divine power of these bones was too overwhelming, somewhat indigestible for a Chongwang Dragon which had yet to ascend to divinity.

The situation was not difficult to resolve; the Chongwang Dragon just needed to be thrown into its own Spirit Realm to sleep more and take more walks.

The growth and transformation potential of such exceptional bones was evident; the Cultivation Base of the Chongwang Dragon might very well surpass the Nine-tailed Dragon!

“If the territory of the Moon Radiance God already has so many spirit roots, I wonder what kind of splendor the Immortal Courts of the Sun Halo Yang Gods hold??” Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but ponder.

…

The first day of the lunar month arrived.

The entire Nie Immortal Town became unusually lively; every God Clan’s Immortal’s House was adorned with lights and decorations, with jade and silverware hanging from various Holy Tree Immortal Vines.

The ceremony was grand and festive, rivaling that of New Year celebrations.

Zhu Minglang did not expect that the birthday of a little girl could draw deities from the three major Divine Lands of the North Dipper to come and pay their respects.

It seems that this Heroic Moon Xian is indeed an influential figure in the entire Jun Tian.

Cao Ying and Wan Cheng prepared congratulatory gifts and set out for the Herioc Moon Xian Mansion with Cao Juan and Lu Kuan.

“Zhu Minglang, we can only bring two companions as attendants. We can’t bring you along,” Cao Ying said to Zhu Minglang with a hint of apology.

“He has an invitation,” Wan Cheng said indifferently.

“Ah?” Cao Ying looked at Zhu Minglang, puzzled. “Why is our invitation silver, but yours is gold?”

At this, Wan Cheng also glanced at the invitation in Zhu Minglang’s hand and couldn’t help shaking his head.

As a servant of the Moon Radiance God, he had protected the Little Moon Fairy Nie Qiqi for a year, and yet he couldn’t compare to Zhu Minglang who had just spent a couple of days playing with her.

Cao Juan and Lu Kuan, however, were not surprised.

After all, they knew Zhu Minglang was divine.

The Heroic Moon Xian Mansion was vast, and the arriving guests were differentiated based on the color of their invitations.

Soon, Zhu Minglang parted with the two couples and entered the slightly deserted, luxurious Immortal Guest Court. There, Zhu Minglang noticed some individuals with exceptionally high cultivation bases.

They were either Divine Kings or Moon Radiance Gods, and they seemed to know each other, boasting amongst themselves.

Zhu Minglang, looking youthful, didn’t easily attract attention as these powerful deities also had their own kin, and Zhu Minglang saw many who were about his age. However, they all followed their elders in an orderly manner, unlike Zhu Minglang, who wandered as if in his own backyard.

“QiQi, QiQi, I am here!” At this moment, a girl’s voice shattered the silence.

Hearing the voice, Nie Qiqi immediately emerged from another garden. She was wearing the Nine-tailed Furry Robe that Zhu Minglang had sold to her. Despite her youthful age, she radiated stunning beauty and quiet elegance, especially today with various jade ornaments that accentuated her complexion…

“Wow, QiQi, how did you become so beautiful? It’s only been a year since I last saw you!” said a vivacious girl excitedly.

The vivacious girl, with short hair and dressed like a young master in green, stood next to Nie Qiqi in her Nine-tailed Robe, creating a stark contrast.

“Dong Yi, I thought you wouldn’t be able to come…” Nie Qiqi, smiling broadly, chattered away with the girl who looked like a young master.

Zhu Minglang found a place to sit by himself, with a view that allowed him to observe guests continuously entering the area.

With his Divine Sense, he could discern everyone’s cultivation base at a glance, and Zhu Minglang grew curious about what level of individuals one could encounter at such an event.

After all, in the North Dipper God State, the most powerful deity Zhu Minglang had met was the Star God King.

Soon, Zhu Minglang locked his gaze on a man with white hair but a face resembling a handsome young man in his thirties. He was dressed in simple and unadorned clothes. At first glance, he didn’t stand out much, but Zhu Minglang couldn’t help feeling a sense of alertness when his Divine Sense swept over the man.

This person had very high cultivation!

Furthermore, he was a Dragon Shepherd. Zhu Minglang only knew he was definitely a Moon Radiance God, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly which rank of Moon Radiance God he was!

“Go and greet the Little Moon Fairy. Haven’t you two already met?” the white-haired deity said to the youth following him.

The young man also had white hair…

But this type of snow white did not make him seem old and decrepit, instead, it added an extraordinary and celestial charm to him.

The white-haired young man approached Nie Qiqi, who was in the midst of a lively conversation with her friend, and then presented her with a unique gift he had brought.
