Chapter 1 Entering the Land of the Golden Crow

Stepping into the ancient land of the Golden Crow.

A Solar Immortal Palace came into view.

The Golden Crow clan was indeed magnificent, like a golden palace. Everything seemed resplendent, yet not particularly vulgar.

But after entering the Golden Crow clan, Lu Changsheng felt a sense of familiarity, like being in the Yin-Yang Holy Land in the lower realm.

It was related to the Chaos Bell.

However, this feeling was very faint and strange, making it difficult for Lu Changsheng to pinpoint what was odd about it, so he didn't mention it for the time being, deciding to participate in the banquet first.

"Brother Changsheng, this is my Golden Crow clan."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince spoke, leading Lu Changsheng to the foot of the Golden Crow Immortal Palace.

At the same time.

The various elders of the Golden Crow clan also came one after another. They had heard that Lu Changsheng had arrived, and they were all extremely excited, wanting to catch a glimpse of Lu Changsheng's appearance.

And after seeing Lu Changsheng, they were not disappointed at all.

"We have seen Celestial Emperor Lu."

The elders of the Golden Crow clan spoke one after another, shouting "Celestial Emperor Lu," expressing their respect for Lu Changsheng.

"No need to be polite. The Golden Crow Crown Prince is my sworn brother. Senior members, please don't be so courteous."

Lu Changsheng said, appearing very amiable and giving the Golden Crow Crown Prince ample face.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"No, no, Celestial Emperor Lu, you have now entered the realm of Peerless Immortal King, and you are only half a step away from Immortal Emperor. Addressing you as an equal is already somewhat presumptuous. The title of Celestial Emperor Lu is perfectly justified."

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared, his brow filled with the aura of a king, with long golden hair like an immortal god.

Upon seeing this person, the Golden Crow Crown Prince quickly bowed and said, "This child greets Father Emperor."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince spoke. This was his father, the patriarch of the Golden Crow clan.

"Changsheng greets Clan Uncle."

Lu Changsheng also quickly spoke. He and the Golden Crow Crown Prince were sworn brothers, so he had to give this respect.

The elders of the Golden Crow clan, seeing Lu Changsheng giving so much respect, felt their goodwill toward Lu Changsheng grow wildly.

But the Golden Crow Patriarch quickly walked towards Lu Changsheng, helping him up and saying, "Changsheng, you are already a Peerless Immortal King. To be honest, you may break through to Immortal Emperor soon. Frankly speaking, at the same realm, I can still call myself your senior, but please don't be so polite."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince's father spoke quickly. He was also an Immortal King, a Peerless Immortal King, but the Golden Crow Patriarch understood that he was no match for Lu Changsheng at all.

Although he hadn't witnessed Lu Changsheng's one-palm suppression of a Peerless Immortal King with his own eyes, the other princes of the Golden Crow clan had told him about it.

Coupled with what he had seen with his own eyes, the Golden Crow Patriarch couldn't afford to be arrogant.

"A senior is a senior."

Lu Changsheng wasn't just putting on an act. With his realm and background, he didn't need to pretend. It all came down to receiving a good education from a young age, knowing how to respect the old and care for the young.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng really couldn't bring himself to let someone who had lived for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years call him "Little Bro."

"No, no, Changsheng, you saved several of my sons. I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart. Let's go, let's go. Don't say too much. I've already had people prepare Solar Divine Nectar. It's a peerless wine. Let's drink and talk."

The Golden Crow Patriarch was quite firm in his attitude. He led Lu Changsheng into the main hall with utmost warmth.

The banquet had already been arranged. Everyone of importance in the entire Golden Crow clan would come to the banquet.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince followed behind Lu Changsheng, his face calm, but the smug smile in his eyes didn't diminish at all.

And so, everyone arrived at the main hall. Twelve jade tables were placed on each side, while thirty-seven jade tables were placed outside the main hall.

Two extra tables were placed above the main hall. The Golden Crow Crown Prince sat at the first table on the left below the hall, but Lu Changsheng was forcibly invited by the Golden Crow Patriarch to go up to the hall.

The Golden Crow Patriarch had one table, and Lu Changsheng had one table alone.

This was enough to prove the Golden Crow clan's goodwill and respect for Lu Changsheng.

Although Lu Changsheng repeatedly declined, he couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm, so in the end, Lu Changsheng still sat down.

Soon, the banquet began.

Originally, Lu Changsheng had planned to let Yun Rou come out to participate in the banquet as well, but after thinking about it, Yun Rou's identity was a bit special.

So for the time being, he still didn't want to let Yun Rou show her face. It was better for her to hide in the pagoda. With Shan Ting accompanying her, she wouldn't be bored. When they reached the Thirty-Third Heaven, he would bring Yun Rou out.

Soon, the various powerhouses of the Golden Crow clan took their seats.

Then, one by one, the women came to the hall to celebrate the banquet.

In the midst of the jade tables, countless delicacies and fine wines were available, and behind each person stood two beautiful maids, pouring wine for everyone.

At this moment, the Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow walked into the main hall, holding a wine jar in his hands.

The wine jar was made of divine metal, and it was covered with nine talismans to seal the immortal wine inside.

"Father, Brother Changsheng, Big Brother, Uncles, this is the Solar Divine Nectar that Grandpa asked me to fetch."

The Tenth Prince of the Golden Crow spoke, showing all courtesy.

"Solar Divine Nectar! The supreme wine of our Golden Crow clan!"

"Solar Divine Nectar! I never thought I would be fortunate enough to taste this kind of wine."

"Heavens! Even without opening the seal, I'm already salivating."

In the main hall, many powerhouses of the Golden Crow clan spoke, their faces filled with excitement as they looked at the jar of divine wine, their eyes filled with excitement and surprise.

"Brother Changsheng, this is the supreme immortal wine of our Golden Crow clan, known as the number one wine in the Immortal Realm. Only our Golden Crow clan can brew it in all the heavens. Basically, in one era, we can only brew up to one hundred thousand *jin* of this kind of wine."

"Our Golden Crow clan now has only three jars left. Today, we open one jar for Brother Changsheng to taste."

"Tonight, we won't go home until we're drunk!"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince spoke, introducing the Solar Divine Nectar while being incredibly hospitable.

This made Lu Changsheng a little surprised.

Only one hundred thousand *jin* can be brewed in an era?

One hundred thousand *jin* sounds like a lot at first, but in reality, an ordinary mortal can easily drink two or three *jin*, and some immortals who like to drink don't feel comfortable unless they drink hundreds or thousands of *jin* of immortal wine every day.

So one hundred thousand *jin* might not be enough even for the Golden Crow clan, let alone the entire Immortal Realm.

"If that's the case, then let's not go home until we're drunk."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.

Then, the Golden Crow Crown Prince got up and came to the front of the wine jar, followed by casting a series of spells, which were very strict.

The Golden Crow Patriarch on the side spoke at this moment.

"Changsheng, do you find it a bit cumbersome?"

The Golden Crow Patriarch said, a smile on his face.

"Well, it is a bit."

Lu Changsheng told the truth.

Opening a jar of wine is so troublesome, is it that precious?

But the Golden Crow Patriarch had a calm and complacent look on his face as he said, "Changsheng, it's not that I'm showing off, but this Solar Divine Nectar is known as the Emperor Artifact among wines. If this jar of wine is taken outside, it can definitely be exchanged for an Emperor Artifact."

"To brew Solar Divine Nectar, not to mention the need for one million and eighty thousand kinds of brewing ingredients, you also need to extract the divine liquid from the sun and bake it with the Golden Crow Divine Fire for forty-nine thousand years to brew a hundred *jin*."

"And even if it is brewed, most of it is not top-grade. The real top-grade is hard to come by. You may not be able to brew one *jin* of top-grade immortal wine, which is Solar Divine Nectar, out of ten thousand *jin*."

"This Solar Divine Nectar, one drop can make an Immortal Saint dream of life and death, a cup can make an Immortal King sleep soundly for three months, and it contains the power of the Divine Sun, nurturing the bloodline and strengthening the body, no less than an Immortal Pill."

The Golden Crow Patriarch spoke eloquently, also revealing the preciousness of this Solar Divine Nectar.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng suddenly understood, and he also understood why the Golden Crow clan had to be so meticulous.

But soon, the wine jar was unsealed, and in an instant, an unparalleled aroma of wine permeated the air, giving people an indescribable feeling.

Before even truly tasting it, it made people intoxicated.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince held the wine jar and poured a cup of wine for Lu Changsheng first.

The color of the wine was like gold, and it contained an incomparably surging energy, no less than an Immortal King spirit fruit.

Then, the Golden Crow Crown Prince also poured a cup of wine for his father, followed by casting a spell, and in an instant, hundreds of *jin* of Solar Divine Nectar flew out of the wine jar. Then, each person only got a small cup, and then the maids used a pot of wine to dilute the Solar Divine Nectar.

It wasn't that they were reluctant to part with it, but rather that they couldn't bear the Solar Divine Nectar. Just taking a deep breath of the wine aroma might make them drunk.

"Come, come! Let's raise our glasses to welcome Changsheng!"

After pouring the wine, the Golden Crow Patriarch spoke, and then everyone raised their glasses, and the banquet officially began.

After three rounds of wine.

Lu Changsheng drank three cups of Solar Divine Nectar in a row. It had to be said that the Solar Divine Nectar was indeed beautiful to the extreme. One cup almost made his soul upside down. If it weren't for his terrifying cultivation, he might really have been drunk.

After drinking three cups in a row, Lu Changsheng felt warm all over, and his cultivation had improved somewhat, but of course, it was still very far from breaking through.

But it has to be said that the Solar Divine Nectar is indeed unparalleled.

"Brother Changsheng, although the wine is good, don't be greedy. I have already prepared three thousand *jin* of Divine Nectar for you, so you can taste it slowly in the future."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince said this.

He prepared three thousand *jin* for Lu Changsheng in one breath, knowing that one jar only had three thousand *jin*.

The Golden Crow clan now only had three jars left. Now that one jar had been opened, there were only two jars left, which was equivalent to taking out half of it for Lu Changsheng.

This made Lu Changsheng truly feel the enthusiasm of the Golden Crow clan.

But after drinking almost enough.

The Golden Crow Patriarch's voice rang out.

"Alas, if it weren't for Changsheng's rescue today, my few useless sons would have died at the hands of the Heavenly Court."

"Now the Heavenly Court is arrogant and domineering, extremely barbaric, and uses iron-blooded methods to push everything horizontally in order to unify the Immortal Realm, angering all living beings. Today, they even sent an Immortal King to kill my few sons. The Heavenly Court really doesn't take our Golden Crow clan seriously."

The Golden Crow Patriarch's voice rang out. The first half of his sentence thanked Lu Changsheng, but the second half was filled with endless anger.

The Golden Crow clan.

Even in several turmoils, under the oppression of the God clan, it did not completely surrender. Now that they were being humiliated like this, how could the Golden Crow Patriarch not be angry?

Mentioning this, the entire Golden Crow clan couldn't help but be angry.

"The Heavenly Court is really deceiving people too much!"

"In order to unify the Immortal Realm, Di Tian has gone crazy. In the past six months, he doesn't know how many immortal sects he has slaughtered, causing the living beings in the Immortal Realm to suffer unspeakably. He is simply lawless for his own selfish desires."

"Alas, who would have thought that Di Tian would actually break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, the only Immortal Emperor in the entire Immortal Realm, and it is said that there are people in the Heavenly Court who are manipulating things behind the scenes, causing the overall strength of the Heavenly Court to be greatly improved."

"Yes, the most important thing is that Di Tian's methods are extremely fierce and without warning. He kills as he says, scaring countless immortal sects into directly surrendering."

Within the Golden Crow clan, many powerhouses spoke, some were angry, but some were very rational, speaking out the pros and cons.

At this moment.

The Golden Crow Patriarch looked at Lu Changsheng.

"Changsheng, I heard that you have now obtained several Heavenly Dao Imprints. It is said that whoever can obtain the Heavenly Dao Imprints of the Six Realms can become the Lord of the Six Realms and obtain unparalleled good fortune."

"Di Tian is doing this just for the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao Imprint. Do you have any ideas?"

"Don't worry, Changsheng, you are my son's sworn brother, and I'll be presumptuous and call myself your uncle. As long as you want to get the Heavenly Dao Imprint, my Golden Crow clan will unconditionally support you and honor you as the Lord of the Immortal Realm. How about that?"

The Golden Crow Patriarch spoke.

The key point of this banquet had arrived.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng understood the Golden Crow Patriarch's purpose.

The Golden Crow Patriarch didn't want to use Lu Changsheng.

Rather, in the current situation, Di Tian was determined to rule the Immortal Realm, and his Golden Crow clan could not stay out of it. Originally, the Golden Crow clan was planning to consider it, but he didn't expect the Heavenly Court to be so ruthless.

They directly attacked and shot his several sons. With this great feud established, his Golden Crow clan and the Heavenly Court would naturally be irreconcilable.

But could the Golden Crow clan beat the Heavenly Court?

Obviously, they couldn't. If they could, how could the Golden Crow Patriarch still be sitting here drinking?

He would have already carried the Golden Crow Divine Bell and charged towards the Heavenly Court to slaughter everything.

But to let the Golden Crow clan act as if nothing had happened?

Was that possible?

Then, would the Golden Crow clan still want to survive in the Immortal Realm in the future?

Going forward was impossible!

Retreating was impossible!

This made the Golden Crow Patriarch feel pressured, but after Lu Changsheng's appearance, he thought of a wonderful way.

That was to support an existence no weaker than Di Tian and let him compete with Di Tian for the position of Lord of the Immortal Realm.

His Golden Crow clan was not greedy, snatching any Immortal Realm Imprint or becoming the Lord of the Immortal Realm. They knew their own weight and didn't have that kind of idea.

But that didn't mean that the Golden Crow clan didn't want to become ministers who followed the dragon!

If they could really support Lu Changsheng and Lu Changsheng became the Lord of the Immortal Realm, then from now on, the status of the Golden Crow clan would probably increase by a large margin.

As for whether Lu Changsheng failed or not, it didn't matter.

Anyway, they had already completely offended the Heavenly Court, so what did they care about?

The Golden Crow Patriarch really didn't have any calculations, he just wanted to protect himself in this situation, it couldn't be considered a calculation.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Changsheng quietly sat here drinking wine.

If the Golden Crow Patriarch calculated against him even a little, Lu Changsheng would definitely not stay.

"I am determined to obtain the Immortal Realm Imprint, but... I don't have the idea of building another force."

Lu Changsheng took a sip of the Solar Divine Nectar and answered like this.

He naturally had to obtain the Immortal Realm Imprint.

It was just that there was no need to establish a force, which would be too troublesome.

However, at this moment.

A voice suddenly rang out outside the Golden Crow clan.

"The Heavenly Court's decree has arrived."

"Golden Crow Patriarch, come and receive the decree."

The voice was loud and clear, spreading throughout the entire Golden Crow clan.

However, within the Golden Crow clan, all the cultivators couldn't help but frown.

Especially the Golden Crow Patriarch, his expression was even more cold.
