Chapter 173: Chapter 133: Many Daoist Disciples, Wang Tianli's Favor, The Elder Insists I Give It a Try_2
Then, he turned his gaze to Heavenly Dao Sect and said, "This time, Heavenly Dao Sect's delegation is led by Huang Tianhua, who is also a powerful genius that has slain three Dao Calamities."
Huang Tianhua looked dignified and imposing as he sat on the sword platform, like a moon rising above the dusty world, or a crane standing out among chickens, exuding an overbearing aura uncharacteristic of ordinary people.
Feeling Wang Tianli's gaze, Huang Tianhua gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
"The representative from Chunyang Sect is named Li Qiankun. He too is a genius who has slain three Dao Calamities, including the Qiankun Great Dao Calamity," praised Wang Tianli.
"Qiankun Great Dao?" Yang Ji was quite moved and took a second look at Li Qiankun. The man was clad in white robes, had a gentle scholar-like visage, and his serene smile made him appear like a well-read scholar.
"Brother Wang!" Li Qiankun transmitted his voice with a smile.
Wang Tianli smiled subtly in response, then looked toward Kuju Palace and said, "Kuju Palace's representative is named Hong Jie Tongzi, and he, too, is a genius who has slain three Dao Calamities."
Following his gaze, Yang Ji saw a man dressed in red robes. The man was not tall, with the face of a boy and a red mole between his brows, crimson as if it were oozing out essence, carrying a whiff of evil and mischief.
Hong Jie Tongzi gave Wang Tianli a cold chuckle as a greeting.
Hearing this chuckle, Yang Ji was startled, thinking there was enmity between the two, but then he noticed that there were no signs of anything unusual above the head of Hong Jie Tongzi, suggesting that this is simply his nature.
Wang Tianli returned the smile to Hong Jie Tongzi before turning to Changsheng Sect and said, "Xiao Changsheng, the representative from Changsheng Sect, is also a mighty genius who has slain three Dao Calamities."
Xiao Changsheng had a noble appearance and radiated an aura of spiritual Longevity that made his extraordinariness palpable even from a distance.
He looked up and gave a faint smile.
Wang Tianli nodded and then turned his attention to the Divine Ascension Hall, smiling as he spoke, "The Holy Maiden of Divine Ascension Hall is called Fairy Linglong, and she is an astonishingly brilliant Immortal Fairy who has slain no less than four Dao Calamities."
"You flatter me too much, Brother Wang Dao. I've only slain four common Dao Calamities. Compared to the three that you've slain, mine are hardly worth mentioning," Fairy Linglong's sweet laugh transmitted over.
She was dressed in a white gown, her face calm and elegant, her eyes clear and bright. Sitting quietly there, she was graceful and composed, with an aura of Immortal Qi wrapping around her, as if she were the wind, the clouds, the rain, the Immortal Fairy herself—the embodiment of all things beautiful, a sight that brought comfort to all who beheld her.
Such a peaceful and beautiful woman who seemed to have no quarrel with the world was actually a genius who had slain four Dao Calamities—an astonishing revelation indeed.
While responding to Wang Tianli, she also nodded politely to Yang Ji and Hao Yun.
"Junior Brother, let me share a secret: our sect's Brother Xuan Zhong once pursued her, only to be fiercely rejected," Wang Tianli said, with a mischievous smirk hinting at gossip.
"Fiercely rejected? It's rumored that Brother Xuan Zhong, a disciple of the Immortal King, possesses formidable strength and exceptional talent; how could he be so thoroughly refused?" Yang Ji raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"I know the story!" Hao Yun suddenly smiled, clearly intrigued, and said, "Others pursue the Immortal Fairy with flowers, moon-gazing, elegance, and wit. They turn the spring breeze into poetry and the spring rain into verses, traversing mountains and lands, leaving a trail of beautiful stories in the human world."
"But when Brother Xuan Zhong pursued the Immortal Fairy, he brought a spit-roasted suckling pig as a gift."
"That would have been fine by itself, but he carried the spit in one hand and a suckling pig in the other, insisting on performing a 'three bites per pig' show. With one bite, his mouth was overflowing with oil, and he ended up being chased away."
"..." Yang Ji was momentarily at a loss for words.
"But you shouldn't underestimate that roasted suckling pig. The Five-Color Immortal Pig offered by Brother Xuan Zhong was marinated with care and top-quality cuisine. Others couldn't even get a bite of it from him, but he sent a whole cauldron to Fairy Linglong, who, however, did not appreciate the gesture," Hao Yun said with a chuckle.

"The Five-Color Immortal Pig? The legendary one that's said to increase one's lifespan by fifty years with just a bite, and by five hundred years for a whole one? An entire cauldron of them? Brother Xuan Zhong is indeed very generous," said Yang Ji, astonished. Such life-extending cuisine or Medicine Pills were treasures among treasures, and the Five-Color Immortal Pig was a top-tier rarity.
An entire cauldron would contain at least ten pigs. Brother Xuan Zhong was indeed extravagant, but it was the wrong gift. Had it been shared after becoming close, the atmosphere would have been different.
"Your Brother Xuan Zhong is neither dumb nor stupid; it's just that he enjoys this particular pleasure. He is a top-notch gourmet who loves to show off his culinary skills. I've had the chance to taste his dragon liver roast, and it truly is delicious," Wang Tianli said with a light smile.
"Your Brother Xuan Zhong has eaten the liver of a Ten-Clawed Immortal Dragon, extracted eggs from an undying Phoenix, caught the Five-Color Little Immortal Pig, and roasted the Six-Horned Sky-Devouring Snake. His footsteps have spread across all the Myriad Realms, leaving enemies everywhere.
If you ever run into him in other worlds, don't even think about acknowledging him, or it'll be the end for you," Hao Yun warned seriously, yet with a smile.
"..." Yang Ji nodded, indicating he understood, and thought to himself that Brother Xuan Zhong truly was fierce and exceptionally extraordinary.
Wang Tianli smiled again and continued, "Junior Brother, the representative from Cangkong Temple is Jin Chanzi. It's said that he is a reincarnation of a great power in the Buddha Realm, with profound Buddhist roots and a likelihood of becoming a Buddha himself. He's truly extraordinary, having slain four Dao Calamities."
"Amitabha! Wang benefactor is too kind!" Jin Chanzi, with the dignified appearance of a Buddha, smiled subtly, blooming like a flower, his handsome face surrounded by six halos of Buddha light that shone brilliantly upon others, truly extraordinary.
