A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm-Chapter 1360: Infinite Generosity

"Thank you, seniors!" the man from the Reincarnation Palace said as he extended a respectful salute, then departed with the mask, while the three Great Encompassment cultivators immediately turned their attention back to their jade slabs.

Shortly thereafter, another cultivator of the Reincarnation Palace entered the side hall, this time with an azure mask, and the three Great Encompassment cultivators sprang into action again.

It took a little longer to engrave the spirit patterns onto the azure mask than it had for the blue one, and not long after that, a crimson mask was brought to them.

The masks were brought in one after another almost without pause, and only after working on over a hundred masks in succession were they afforded a short break.

There were no more lines of text appearing on the jade slab, and at this point, both the gray-robed man and the white-robed woman were looking a little weary, while the purple-robed elderly man wasn't showing any signs of strain.

"Your powers are growing by leaps and bounds, Fellow Daoist Shi. It looks like it won't be long before you reach the late-Great Encompassment Stage," the gray-robed man said as he turned to the purple-robed elderly man.

"Your concealment law powers are also becoming more and more profound, Fellow Daoist Lu. The concealment abilities of the recent batches of masks have become more and more potent. As for reaching the late-Great Encompassment Stage, that's not something that I dare to hope for," the purple-robed elderly man replied with a faint smile.

"My concealment law powers cannot even begin to compare with your spatial law powers, Fellow Daoist Shi. In fact, I'd say they're even inferior to Fellow Daoist Bai's shapeshifting law powers," the gray-robed man said with a modest shake of his head.

"Right now, the palace master is facing very powerful foes in the Reincarnation Palace, yet here you two are, chatting about irrelevant nonsense! If you truly wish to do your part and help the palace master, then focus your attention on the task at hand!" the white-robed woman interjected in a scathing manner.

The gray-robed man gave an awkward smile in response, while the purple-robed elderly man's brows furrowed slightly in displeasure.

Right at this moment, an azure-robed figure emerged from deep within the side hall and reprimanded, "Don't be so rude, Bai Yu. Fellow Daoist Shi is currently serving our Reincarnation Palace, but he's a member of our Reincarnation Palace, so we must treat him with respect."

"Palace Master Huangfu!" the gray-robed man exclaimed as he hurriedly rose to his feet before extending a respectful bow toward the azure-robed young man.

"My apologies, Palace Master Huangfu," the white-robed woman said as she also hurriedly rose to her feet.

She then turned to the purple-robed elderly man as she apologized once more, "Please forgive me for my rude outburst just now, Fellow Daoist Shi."

The purple-robed elderly man had also stood up from his stone platform, and he waved a hand in the white-robed woman's direction before turning to the azure-robed young man to extend a slight bow.

The azure-robed young man was none other than Dao Ancestor Huangfu Yu of the Reincarnation Palace, who had previously made an appearance in the Gray Realm.

"No need for formalities. Thank you for your hard work over the years," Huangfu Yu said with a pleasant smile.

"There's no need to thank us, we've only been performing the duties that are expected of us. How are things going in the Heavenly Court?" the gray-robed man asked.

"The situation is still rather unclear at the moment, but as long as our hearts are one and we have the palace master to lead us, defeating the Heavenly Court is very much possible," Huangfu Yu replied, and the three Great Encompassment cultivators gave a collective, affirmative response.

Huangfu Yu turned his gaze to the purple-robed elderly man, then said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, I'll have to trouble you to oversee the deal between our Reincarnation Palace and the Vast Origin House. As for the costs incurred, you'll be compensated once this battle is over."

"I'll be sure to keep a close eye on things," the purple-robed elderly man replied with a nod.

"I knew I could count on you, Fellow Daoist Shi," Huangfu Yu said with a pleased nod, and after issuing a few more instructions, he departed from the side hall.

Shortly thereafter, he appeared on the summit of the giant mountain, then cast his gaze toward a certain direction in an absentminded manner.

......

At the Bodhi Banquet.

Following the conclusion of the customary song and dance performance, everyone was beginning to grow rather excited as their main objective for this trip was about to be fulfilled.

"I'm sure everyone is already tired of waiting. As usual, all banquet attendees will receive Bodhi Dao Fruits, but this time, things will be a little different..."

Everyone was immediately feeling a little apprehensive in the wake of this announcement from Dao Ancestor Bai Yun. Could it be that something had to be done in exchange for the Bodhi Dao Fruits for this edition of the Bodhi Banquet?

With that in mind, the entire venue erupted into concerned chatter.

"Rest assured, everyone, this will only come as good news for all of you. Out of the infinite kindness of our supreme lord, he has decided to distribute Bodhi Dao Fruits to all banquet attendees, regardless of whether they're invited guests or merely part of the entourages!" Dao Ancestor Bai Yun declared.

Everyone was quite relieved to hear this, following which they chanted in unison, "Thank you, Supreme Lord!"

Gu Huojin gave a slight nod at everyone's gratitude, while the Reincarnation Palace Master looked on in a calm and composed silence.

Moments later, eight giant immortal birds appeared in the sky, with each fo them holding an ornate crate in their beaks. The eight birds set off in different directions like speeding arrows, and the crates contained the Bodhi Dao Fruits designated for the other sub-venues.

Following their departure, groups of celestial maidens began to file into the main venue, carrying Bodhi Dao Fruits atop jade platters, and sure enough, each of the banquet attendees received a dao fruit, including even the Reincarnation Palace Master.

He picked up the Bodhi Dao Fruit that had been placed before him to discover that it was a bright red fruit that resembled a plum in shape, and it was far from what he had expected.

Furthermore, the fruit seemed to have been glowing from the inside, giving it the appearance fo a miniature, red lantern, and it was also giving off an alluring aroma.

The Reincarnation Palace Master took a glance at the Bodhi Dao Fruits in front of Gu Huojin and the others to discover that they were identical to his own, so these were most likely all Bodhi Dao Fruits of the highest caliber.

All of the Dao Ancestors and Great Encompassment cultivators present were able to maintain their composure, while the members of their entourages were unable to suppress their excitement at this unexpected blessing.

All of them were holding onto their dao fruits as if they were the most precious treasures under the heavens, and they were virtually salivating in excitement, but no one dared to consume their dao fruit without permission from Gu Huojin.

"There's no need to restrain yourselves, everyone. The Bodhi Dao Fruits have already been distributed, so they are free to be devoured as you please," Gu Huojin declared with a warm smile, then took a bite out of his own dao fruit, and only then did everyone else dare to take their first bites.

In the blink of an eye, the entire venue was filled with radiant light and an intoxicating aroma.

In the first row, Meng Po brought her Bodhi Dao Fruit to her lips, and the same light that emanated from everyone else's dao fruits began radiating from her own, but as opposed to actually consuming the dao fruit, she secretly tucked it away.

Yu Menghan did the exact same thing, stowing her own dao fruit away as well.

At the same time, she was thinking to herself that if they could meet again someday, then she would give him this Bodhi Dao Fruit as a reunion gift.

The Reincarnation Palace Master examined his Bodhi Dao Fruit for a moment longer, then casually crushed it in his grasp, and it disintegrated into streaks of light that escaped in all directions.

Gu Huojin raised an eyebrow ever so slightly upon seeing this, but he didn't express any displeasure.

Once everyone had consumed their Bodhi Dao Fruits, the sound of a gong strike rang out across the entire venue, accompanied by delightful music.

The surface of Pure Clear Lake began to ripple, while the giant locust tree behind it gently swayed from side to side. A flurry of locust leaves came drifting down onto the venue, gradually taking on a translucent appearance as they descended.

In that instant, many of the cultivators in the venue instinctively closed their eyes and began to meditate.
