Open up and break into another world

“Here it comes…” Palace Master Po Tian wore a look of reminiscence. “It’s been a long time since I’ve attended the Dao Seeking Banquet. Let’s see how the children are doing now!”

To Palace Master Po Tian, everyone present was essentially a child, even Elder Xuan Qing was no exception!

When Elder Xuan Qing wasn't even born yet, Po Tian had already been the Palace Master of the Dao Seeking Palace for millions of years…

“Palace Master Po Tian actually came!”

“This Dao Seeking Banquet is too amazing; even a Palace Master level expert has personally arrived!”

“I heard that Palace Master Po Tian's ultimate skill, ‘Annihilation of the Heavens,’ still hasn't found a suitable successor. I wonder if any lucky little fellow will have this opportunity during the Dao Destiny Battle this time!”

“Don't even think about it! If ‘Annihilation of the Heavens’ was so easy to learn, then Palace Master Po Tian wouldn't have spent tens of millions of years without finding a suitable successor!”

“Without Palace Master Po Tian's aura of obliterating the heavens, one can't even begin to grasp the basics of ‘Annihilation of the Heavens’!”

“I also wonder what level Palace Master Po Tian's strength has reached now!”

“In these hundreds of thousands of years, Palace Master Po Tian has been in secluded cultivation. He must be even more domineering and invincible now!”

Palace Master Po Tian's choice to slumber is a secret within the Human Race.

When Palace Master Po Tian's normal lifespan reaches its limit, the Dao Seeking Palace will announce to the outside world that Palace Master Po Tian has passed away peacefully. In reality, Palace Master Po Tian will go to the “Human Race God Kingdom” to hide and enter a long-term slumber!

If the Human Race encounters a great crisis, Palace Master Po Tian will reappear.

And if the Human Race is always safe and sound, Palace Master Po Tian will quietly die in his sleep!

The Human Race's experts and great figures all began to eat and drink, and toasting and exchanging pleasantries began.

After many experts and great figures had a round of drinks at their own tables, they began to “visit” nearby tables—it was rare for experts from all sides to meet, so of course, they had to take the opportunity of the Dao Seeking Banquet to have a good exchange and build relationships.

“Sect Master Yao, I, Old Bear, toast you a cup!”

Near Xu Ming, two leaders of ordinary Earth-Rank forces, both belonging to the Lake Heart Island region, sat together and drank enthusiastically.

The same scene was happening throughout the Dao Seeking Banquet.

“Brother Shu Lanluo, I toast you!”

“Sect Master Mo, come on, bottoms up!”

“Bottoms up?” Sect Master Mo snorted disdainfully. “Bottoms ten!”

“Brother Ma, why waste time talking nonsense? Drink!”

“Aiya, Brother Niu, I can't drink! I still have to participate in the Dao Destiny Battle later! Drinking will mess things up!”

“What does the Dao Destiny Battle have to do with anything! Drinking a little wine to build up courage is the best!”

“I really can't drink…”

“Damn it! It's been more than ten years since we brothers last met, and you won't even give me this face? Drink!”

“Alright then… just one cup!”

“Okay, just one cup!”

…

There were also some who drank more elegantly, not getting up and walking around, but sitting steadily in their seats, using voice transmission and raising their glasses in the air to friends in the distance.

The banquet scene was a lively one.

In this area where Lake Heart Island and the other six major forces were located, the most lively was undoubtedly the Floating Snow City area.

One expert after another, like male dogs in spring, stubbornly surrounded the table of Floating Snow City, unwilling to leave.

Among them, City Lord Tang Chengxue of Floating Snow City, and Chi Xue, were undoubtedly surrounded by the most male dogs.

Those surrounding Tang Chengxue were mostly大佬 of various forces—mostly Earth-Rank forces, and also some weaker Heaven-Rank forces such as the Thousand Transformations Sect.

Tang Chengxue had long been accustomed to dealing with such scenes in her long life. Every male dog around her was hooked and itching, but in reality, they didn't gain any substantial benefits.

As for Chi Xue, she seemed at a loss.

Those surrounding Chi Xue were all “little male dogs,” that is, the younger generation of geniuses.

“Miss Chi, I am Li Qingfeng from the Sacred Flame Sect, may I offer you a cup?” A refined young man smiled, holding a wine glass in both hands.

“I am Shi Wenzhe, may I help Miss Chi pour tea into her cup?” This young man was even more refined, and his smile was even more hypocritical.

“Little student Ma Junhao…”

There's always someone better, each one more disgusting than the last.

Chi Xue secretly glanced at these well-dressed young people around her, but each one only gave her a sense of danger, and no sense of security at all.

At this time, Chi Xue couldn't help but think of Xu Ming.

“Brother Xu Ming's eyes would never be like these people…” Chi Xue was a little黯然.

Suddenly, Chi Xue mustered her courage.

“Brother Xu Ming!” Chi Xue looked at Xu Ming and directly transmitted her voice.

Xu Ming was dealing with some random person who had popped up out of nowhere, when suddenly a familiar voice entered his mind.

“Chi Xue?” Xu Ming's expression didn't change much, and he also looked in Chi Xue's direction.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Their eyes met.

What Xu Ming saw was a pair of eyes as clear as a spring, but with many complex emotions.

What Chi Xue saw, however, was a pair of calm, perfectly normal eyes.

Although Chi Xue had expected such eyes, seeing them in person, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of bitterness.

Was it regret?

Was it unwillingness?

It was hard to say.

But Chi Xue knew that Brother Xu Ming was no longer the Xu Ming he once was!

“Brother Xu Ming, I'll use tea in place of wine to toast you a cup!” Chi Xue smiled bitterly and gracefully, holding up her wine glass with both hands.

Chi Xue's action immediately caught the attention of the little male dogs around her.

All the little male dogs, following the direction Chi Xue was looking, turned their heads in unison. Dozens of gazes burning with jealousy shot fiercely at Xu Ming.

“Damn! Who is this person?”

The little male dogs were all transmitting their voices to each other.

“We've been circling Chi Xue like dogs for so long, and Chi Xue hasn't even acknowledged us! But now, Chi Xue is actually toasting this person?”

“It's really infuriating! Everyone listen up, I'm going to let out an angry wolf howl!!!—Woof, woof!”

Indeed… very… angry…

“Does anyone know who this person is?”

Xu Ming's reputation outside the Lake Heart Island region was actually not very great. Many people may have heard the name Xu Ming, but few could match the name to the person.

“Looks very unfamiliar!—Seeing him sitting there alone, with no one paying attention to him, he should be from a small force, or a rogue cultivator!”

“Damn! How dare someone from a small force be so arrogant!?”

…

Xu Ming naturally didn't care about the jealous gazes of a group of nobodies. What surprised him a little was Chi Xue's performance—Chi Xue actually took the initiative to toast him.

It was just a little surprising, but not very surprising either.

They were all old friends, just toasting a drink, Xu Ming certainly wouldn't refuse to give her face. He slightly raised his glass and then drank it all in one gulp.

Chi Xue put down her teacup and continued to transmit her voice as if no one else was there: “Brother Xu Ming, it's been many years since we last met, can you talk a little about who you are now?”

“Hmm…” Xu Ming pondered slightly, “Alright!”

Chi Xue's big eyes, as clear as a spring, couldn't help but brighten.

Xu Ming sat upright in his seat and said through voice transmission: “Now, I'm with Gu Hanmo…”

Pfft!

Chi Xue almost spat out the tea she hadn't swallowed yet: “What? You're with Palace Master Gu!?”

“What's the problem?”

“Brother Xu Ming…” Chi Xue's expression was extremely strange, “Even if you don't like me anymore, I really didn't expect that you would… like men…”

Chi Xue clearly remembered that Palace Master Gu Hanmo of the Feiyun Nation's Wild Martial Palace was a man!
