the yuan emperor was big and fleshy . although he had muttered to himself, his voice was so loud that many of the other disciples heard him .
the qi emperor, who had previously looked down on the yuan emperor, heard it and laughed coldly . “yuan emperor, don’t forget yourself . the immortal wine given by the immortal cannot be drunk whenever you like . ”
the yuan emperor’s face darkened with resentment, but he was afraid of breaking the rules, so he did not dare to say anything .
but many people thought it was funny .
not long after the qi emperor finished speaking, a huge jade door at the front of the hall slowly opened .
the believers, who had been talking among themselves, immediately fell silent when they saw the jade door open . everyone’s eyes turned to look at the slowly opening door with respect and reverence .
clang… clang…
the clear notes of a brass gong rang out from the doorway . layers of mist billowed through the door and into the main hall . a few figures could be vaguely seen at the doorway .
everyone in the main hall was surrounded by mist . as they looked at the billowing immortal aura, they were filled with a sense of awe, and their expressions were reverent .
a moment later, a few handsome men dressed in white suddenly flew through the jade door, suspended in midair . there was nothing beneath their feet, yet they moved through the air as if walking on level ground .
they looked to be at most twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and were handsome . however, their tilted chins and chilly looks gave them a remote and unapproachable air . in the mist, their white robes made them seem even more aloof .
these were the ambassadors of the dragon court sect .
ye qingtang raised her brows slightly . she looked at the flying ambassadors of the dragon court sect and then glanced at the yuan emperor .
the yuan emperor was completely taken aback by the flying ambassadors .
he had never attended pilgrimage day and had not seen the dragon court sect’s ambassadors before . he had only heard that the immortal had bestowed flying abilities on the dragon court sect’s ambassadors .
so when ye qingtang had taken flight previously, he had been shocked and believed that she was an immortal .
besides the dragon court sect’s ambassadors who had received the immortal’s blessing, who else could fly?
the mist swirled around, obscuring the entire hall .
the believers felt blessed as they bathed in the “immortal aura” . they blissfully enjoyed the sensation of being encircled by immortal aura .
“immortal, thank you for your favor in nourishing us with your immortal aura,” a monarch said gratefully .
the ambassadors looked remote and nodded slightly . although they were suspended in midair, they all stood steadily .
the yuan emperor had heard that on pilgrimage day, if the immortal wished to, he could pass among the believers through the immortal aura . now that he personally saw the immortal aura surround him, he was filled with delight and surprise . he breathed deeply, hoping to suck in more immortal aura .
before they entered the hall, everyone on the shores of the floating island had been under the hot sun for some time . these pampered monarchs and members of the royal family were already showing faint signs of heatstroke, with each face redder than the next .
but after breathing in the immortal aura, their dizziness cleared immediately, and their complexion returned to normal . they were also re-energized .
ye qingtang glanced at the immortal aura floating past her . her face was expressionless .
“today is the pilgrimage day . the immortal gives you wine . ” the ambassadors seemed used to all this and took no notice of the delighted crowd that was absorbing the immortal aura .
only when the ambassadors spoke did the believers in the hall reach out to pour the wine .
