Chapter 655

The serpent people's worship of the Ancestor is etched into their bones.

Being unable to follow the Ancestor was a great regret for the serpent people's elder ancestor.

"Is the Dao Lord really that powerful?" Weiwei exclaimed. "Why have I never heard this legend before?"

Hei Gou said proudly: "Because I only found out about it recently."

He looked at Ye Hei and said: "My pet…"

Ye Hei was speechless: "Hei Gou, don't be too presumptuous!"

He clenched his fist, his aura solidifying instantly.

Hei Gou immediately backed down.

She wasn't afraid of being beaten—being a follower of the Emperor, her hide was thick and tough, and blows couldn't break her.

But if Ye Hei didn't take her to the banquet, she'd suffer a great loss.

"Alright, he's my friend. Ye Hei is favored by fate, able to connect with the Dao Lord from tens of thousands of years ago, and recently, he's even been invited by the Dao Lord to attend several banquets. I'll tell you, the Immortal Realm is truly a blessed land, steeped in immortal qi—just staying there for a while will cause your cultivation base to surge forward."

Qing Zhu pondered: "I know of immortal qi—our ancestral ancestor once obtained some and stored a portion within the clan. When I was a child, I absorbed a trace of it and underwent a bloodline transformation; it was an ultimate divine substance. But to connect with a Dao Lord from tens of thousands of years ago? This is too shocking."

Hei Gou sneered: "Though shocking, it's not false. Recently, the Dao Lord has invited again—Ye Hei is to attend the An Tian Assembly, where they'll serve primordial peaches of immortality."

...... 0.......

"Primordial peaches of immortality?" Qing Zhu was stunned. "Do they even have such things?"

He looked at Ye Hei.

Ye Hei was speechless, and could only nod.

He had no idea what Hei Gou was doing—why expose this?

"Ye Hei, this is a great opportunity. In the universe, many factions revere the Dao Lord. If we borrow even a fraction of their power, we'll thrive." Hei Gou whispered. "Then, won't we be able to walk the entire universe with impunity?"

Hearing this, Ye Hei's eyes lit up.

Though he could handle things alone and still dominate the universe.

But if he could borrow power, why not?

"If you wish to go, Qing Zhu, I'll take you along." Ye Hei said. "Miss Weiwei too—but only the banquet's main guests receive the peaches of immortality; you won't."

Qing Zhu bowed: "Brother Ye, you're generous. Just seeing the Ancestor is already a tremendous blessing—I dare not hope for more."

Weiwei's voice was clear and bright, her eyes curious: "Merely attending such a banquet is already a great fortune. Thank you, Brother Ye."

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of figures descended.

"Brother Ye, could you perhaps introduce us to the Ancestor?"

Qing Zhu looked over.

"Brother Ye, they're all disciples of the Dao Lord, great clans of the universe."

Ye Hei frowned: "So many? No, even if the Dao Lord doesn't mind, I can't bring too many. Here's the deal: five slots. Aside from Weiwei and Qing Zhu, there are three left—decide among yourselves."

"Three slots? Perfect! Fellow cultivators, the Tianjiao Clan claims one—any objections?"

"Bold words indeed! The Jin Peng Clan refuses to accept this!"
