I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 327 - 264: Audience with Celestial Venerable Xihua

Chapter 327: Chapter 264: Audience with Celestial Venerable Xihua

As Chen Sheng stabilized himself on the Profound Stone Platform within the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land, golden spirit light from his breakthrough into the Demon Emperor Realm lingered around him.

A golden ray of light descended from the sky, and the silhouette of the Golden Feather Demon Venerable slowly appeared before him. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The suppressive aura of the Tier Five Demon Venerable was completely restrained, yet he exuded an undeniable majesty like a deep abyss. The edges of his wide Yin-Yang Daoist Robe swept the ground, creating subtle ripples of spiritual qi, and an unworn golden token appeared in his hand at some point.

The token was entirely forged from red gold, with a carving of a wing-spread Golden-Winged Roc on its front.

Chen Sheng’s gaze fell onto the token, feeling a familiar bloodline aura rushing towards him, resonating powerfully with the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline within him.

"Peng Huan!"

The voice of the Golden Feather Demon Venerable pierced the forbidden land’s sky, resonating like a great bell through the clouds, clearly reaching the ears of every observing demon emperor:

"You have broken through to the Demon Emperor Realm at less than twenty years old, with a bloodline purity unmatched in the Golden-Winged Roc Race. Today, I bestow upon you the imperial title—Great Roc Emperor!"

With these words, the Golden Feather Demon Venerable raised his hand to hand the golden token to Chen Sheng.

As soon as the token touched Chen Sheng’s fingertips, it transformed into a dazzling golden light, flowing through his arm into his forehead.

In an instant, the golden spirit light around Chen Sheng surged, and a colossal golden roc illusion gradually emerged.

The illusion spread its wings, almost covering the entire forbidden land’s sky, with golden feathers as sharp as blades. Its eyes blazed with golden flames and it let out a sky-shaking cry.

This cry resonated with the majesty of an emperor, piercing through the clouds and echoing throughout the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land. Even the ancient runes on distant precipices flickered in response, seemingly acknowledging this newborn emperor.

"Great Roc Emperor!"

Seeing this, the demon emperors all bowed in salute, their voices unified with reverence and approval.

They all understood that in the imperial system of the Golden-Winged Roc Race, "Great Roc Emperor" was a top-tier title.

Now that Chen Sheng received this title, it not only signified the extreme favor of the Golden Feather Demon Venerable but also declared him as the future heir of the Golden-Winged Roc Race.

Feeling the imperial aura brought by the token in his forehead, Chen Sheng’s demon power became more stable. He cupped his hands in salute to the demon emperors, then turned to deeply bow to the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, speaking with a steady and powerful voice:

"Thank you, great ancestor, for the title! Peng Huan will not disgrace the name of ’Great Roc Emperor’, and will protect the Golden-Winged Roc Race and revitalize the Great Wilderness Demon Court!"

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable nodded, his eyes blazing with golden light, full of gratification:

"Good! From now on, you are the Great Roc Emperor of the Great Wilderness Demon Court. You can oversee all members under the demon emperor level of the Golden-Winged Roc Race and enjoy the privileges of a demon emperor."

With that, he turned to the demon emperors and said:

"Three years from now, a celebration for the Great Roc Emperor will be held at the Golden Roc Hall in the center of the Demon Court, and all registered demon emperors of the Great Wilderness Demon Court must attend."

"Additionally, announce my decree to invite the Human Race’s divinity transformation powerhouses and the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the Four Domains Human Race to witness the ceremony."

This decree surprised all the demon emperors.

It was known that although the Great Wilderness Demon Court had trade relations with human cultivators, it rarely invited humans of great power to demon emperor celebrations.

Now the Golden Feather Demon Venerable not only invited Celestial Venerables of Divinity Transformation but also late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, clearly intending to showcase Chen Sheng’s talent and the strength of the Great Wilderness Demon Court to the Human Race through this celebration.

Chen Sheng was also moved upon hearing this!

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and the demon emperor celebration of the Great Wilderness Demon Court was held as scheduled.

The venue for the celebration was set at the Golden Roc Hall in the center of the Demon Court, a hall constructed of thousand-year phoenix wood and profound iron, with entrance doors towering a hundred feet high carved with beastly totems representing the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands of the Demon Race.

A colossal golden plaque hung above the doorway, and from afar, the entire hall resembled a slumbering beast, emanating dignity and solemnity.

Inside the hall, the main seats were adorned with dark beast-skin cushions, and the Golden Feather Demon Venerable sat upright upon them, wearing a Yin-Yang Daoist Robe. His aura was vast, seemingly merging with the heavens and earth as the spiritual energy in the hall swirled gently with his every breath.

On this day, the main character, Chen Sheng, sat in the jade throne to the left of the main seat, wearing a golden imperial robe with the image of a winged roc embroidered on its hem.

At his waist hung a Jade Pendant formed by the Yin Yang Qi Diagram, with black and white qi flowing slowly on its surface. Although the demon emperor pressure he exuded was not as domineering as the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, it carried the steadiness and sharpness of a young emperor.

The guest seats on both sides of the main hall were already filled with demon emperors from the Four Domains of the Great Wilderness.

Some demon emperors were whispering to each other, while others gazed intently at the hall’s entrance, clearly anticipating the arrival of the Human Race guests who traveled from afar.

"Report—the representatives of the human cultivators have arrived!"

With the high-pitched announcement from the guards outside the hall, the entrance doors slowly opened, and a group of human cultivators in various colored Daoist robes walked in.

The leading thirty-plus late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators hailed from top nations of the Four Domains Human Race, some holding dusters, some carrying swords on their backs, and others with storage pouches at their waists. The spiritual power fluctuations they exuded were not as domineering as the demon emperors’, but carried a meticulously refined texture.

These thirty-plus Nascent Soul cultivators walked into the hall, saluted the Golden Feather Demon Venerable on the main seat and Chen Sheng on the side seat, their voices unified:

"Greetings to the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, greetings to the Great Roc Emperor!"

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable gently nodded, smiling as he raised his hand: "You have traveled from afar, no need for excessive formalities."

Chen Sheng stood up to greet them, his tone warm yet maintaining authority: "Fellow Daoists, your journey must have been arduous, please take your seats."

Just as he finished speaking, three even more powerful presences emanated from outside the hall, causing the spiritual energy within to ripple intensely.

The eyes of the Golden Feather Demon Venerable shimmered with a trace of a smile as he spoke to Chen Sheng, "Peng Huan, come with me to meet some distinguished guests."

All the Demon Emperors rose in unison to greet — only an entity of the Celestial Venerable level of the Divine Transformation would be welcomed personally by the Golden Feather Demon Venerable.

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable led Chen Sheng to the entrance of the hall, where they saw a cultivator in a white Daoist robe slowly approaching.

The person’s robe was embroidered with flowing cloud patterns, and he held a jade bone fan, on which was depicted a vast landscape; with each step he took, faint mists appeared around him, making it seem as if he was treading upon clouds, his ethereal presence making it hard for people to look at him directly.

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable introduced him, "This is the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao of the Carefree Grotto Heaven."

The Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao clasped his hands towards Chen Sheng, his smile as warm as a spring breeze:

"I heard about the innate extraordinary talents of the Golden-Winged Little Roc King and his Half-Saint Bloodline only a little over a decade ago. I didn’t expect he would break through to the Demon Emperor Realm so soon, and now he is the Great Roc Emperor! Meeting today, he truly has an impressive demeanor."

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Carefree flatters us, this child just had some good luck."

Chen Sheng quickly bowed, "Junior Peng Huan greets the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao. I have long heard of Senior’s great name, and it is truly an honor to meet today."

Soon after, a Daoist with an elegant demeanor approached, a mutton fat jade hairpin tucked into his hair bun, carved with the word ’Xuan’, emanating an aura of Divine Transformation that was gentle yet substantial, like warm jade, not as ethereal as the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao.

Upon seeing the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, he clasped his hands and smiled:

"Brother Golden Feather, it’s been a long time, your aura has become even more profound! And this must be the Great Roc Emperor? Truly outstanding and promising!"

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable lightly laughed and returned the courtesy, "Fellow Daoist Zuo Xuan is too kind, please take a seat."

He then introduced Chen Sheng, "This is Celestial Venerable Zuo Xuan, a Tier Five Alchemy Master."

Chen Sheng immediately bowed, "Junior greets Celestial Venerable Zuo Xuan."

In his heart, though, he sighed; of the three Celestial Venerables in his previous life, apart from the Golden Feather Demon Venerable possessing a Saint Grade Demon Beast bloodline and a long life span, the other two were Human Race cultivators with limited lifespans, most likely reduced to dust by now.

As the three Celestial Venerables conversed, unhurried footsteps were heard outside the hall, and a cultivator in a blue long robe arrived leisurely.

His face was resolute, and his jawline sharp like a blade, with an antique long sword on his back, the sword scabbard densely inscribed with sword patterns, each pattern transmitting a fierce aura.

As if about to unsheath and strike in the next moment, an aura exuded from his Divine Transformation imbued with a subtle killing intent, distinctly different from the other two Celestial Venerables, Xiaoyao and Zuo Xuan.

Upon seeing this cultivator, the Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s eyes sparkled with delight as he quickly approached to greet:

"Fellow Daoist Xihua, you’ve made it! Another moment and the celebration would have begun."

The Celestial Venerables Xiaoyao and Zuo Xuan also greeted jovially: "Brother Xihua, still keeping up the habit of tardiness at every gathering."

Celestial Venerable Xihua smiled and clasped his hands, his gaze sweeping across the hall before finally landing on Chen Sheng, a hint of inquisition in his eyes:

"Greetings, fellow Daoists! Apologies, some trivial matters delayed me on the way; and this must be the Great Roc Emperor? Truly gifted."

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable pulled Chen Sheng to Celestial Venerable Xihua’s side:

"Peng Huan, this is Celestial Venerable Xihua of the Eastern Domain Chen Clan, with Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation Cultivation, and he is also the Supreme Elder of the Western Borderless Manor and the Dao Venerable of the Three Elements Dao Sect in Yue Country."

"Your grandfather was a collateral blood relation of the Chen Clan and later became Daoist partners with your grandmother. In this regard, we are related by marriage to the Chen Clan!"

Chen Sheng gazed at the familiar figure before him, his emotions mixed but also happy; he straightened his imperial robe with care and bowed:

"Greetings, Celestial Venerable Xihua!"

Chen Xihua hurriedly extended a hand to help him up, feeling a spontaneous fondness and sense of kinship as he looked at this "Great Roc Emperor," secretly joyful.

If not for the clear difference in realms, and no alert from his Sword Heart, he might have thought he was being maneuvered.

"Good child, stand up quickly."

"Born with a Half-Saint bloodline, breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm at such a young age, Brother Golden Feather, you surely have a worthy successor!"

Having said that, he retrieved a jade talisman from his storage pouch; the talisman was pristine white, engraved with complex runes of the Chen Clan, through which faint spiritual qi flowed.

"Take this jade talisman; in the future, whenever you visit the Eastern Domain, just show this talisman, and all the clansmen of the Chen Clan will provide you with assistance."

Chen Sheng accepted the jade talisman with both hands:

"Thank you for the generous gift, Senior. I will definitely visit to seek your guidance in the future."

Everyone in the hall watched this scene, their eyes full of surprise and envy.

Nobody anticipated that this young Great Roc Emperor not only possessed the Half-Saint bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc but also such profound marital ties with the top Human Race power, the Chen Clan.

This undoubtedly would fortify the ties between the Great Wilderness Demon Court and the Human Race, also adding a solid layer of assurance to Chen Sheng’s future path.

Looking at this heartwarming scene before him, the Golden Feather Demon Venerable felt thoroughly gratified; he raised a hand to signal everyone to be seated:

"Alright, the distinguished guests have arrived; the Demon Emperor Celebration officially begins now!"

"Gathered here today, we celebrate the Great Roc Emperor as well as toast to the friendship between the Human and Demon Races, wishing for their joint guardianship to keep the Great Wilderness peaceful!"

As the Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s voice fell, booming drum music sounded outside the hall, with demon race musicians playing the ancient ’Peng Xiang Song,’ the music majestic and stirring, spreading throughout the entire Great Wilderness.
