Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 287: Chapter 259: Foundation Establishment Ceremony, Thousand Eyes’ Return

Several more days passed.

A light snow began to fall in the evening. By dawn, the entire Jinyun Valley was blanketed in a layer of ice and snow, and the air held a biting chill that seemed to freeze water in an instant.

But within the valley, the scene was one of jubilant celebration, with festive lanterns and decorations everywhere.

「This day.」

After completing a Grand Circulation, Chen Che slowly ended his cultivation session and changed into an azure-colored long robe.

Over the past two months of Cultivation, he had completely mastered the First Technique of the Taichu Haoyue Sword and had also grasped the basics of the Wind Thunder Technique Step.

In addition, his Realm had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.

With his vast True Essence and his Ice Skin and Jade Flesh technique at the Small Success stage, he was confident he could face any Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator head-on, even without using his Sword Pill or the Nine Transformations Spirit Flame Technique.

’However, a Golden Core Cultivator is another matter entirely...’

’After all, the gap between Grand Realms is as wide as a heavenly chasm. Even if I used every trick up my sleeve, the best I could hope for against a True Master who has just achieved Core Formation is mutual destruction.’

’The time has come.’

Gazing at the sky, Chen Che pushed open the door and stepped outside.

In the courtyard, a woman in a palace gown, her face elegantly made up, was staring dazedly into a pond. A cool breeze stirred, sending snowflakes drifting down. As strands of hair danced at her temples, her profile looked as cold and sharp as frost. But the moment she saw Chen Che, her expression thawed as if ice and snow were melting away.

”Let’s go, Qingxuan.”

Chen Che took her delicate hand, summoned Xuan Peng and the Profound Cyan Sparrow, and they slowly flew toward the main hall.

Today was the day of Meng Qingxuan’s Foundation Establishment ceremony.

The entire Jinyun Valley had been transformed into a grand banquet venue. Starting from the main hall, a total of eighty-one primary seats were arranged for the Foundation Establishment Major Cultivators. Below these main seats, numerous workbenches and pumpons were set out neatly for the remaining guests.

The banquet stretched from within the valley all the way to the Market. Whether mortal or Cultivator, everyone was welcome to a seat.

However, only invited guests were permitted to enter the valley itself.

But on an occasion like this, no one dared to force their way in. After all, with all of Jinyun Valley’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered, not to mention the Meng Family, anyone who dared cause trouble would be making an enemy of half of Yunzhou. Without overwhelming power and influence, they would surely die without a proper burial.

When Chen Che and Meng Qingxuan landed in the plaza, over a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Meng Family were already seated, along with the valley’s top brass. Lu Qinglian, Ding Fei, and Hu Yao were among them.

After they exchanged greetings, Meng Qingxuan moved to sit in the second-most prominent seat.

”Qingxuan, you’re the guest of honor today. You should take the head seat,” Chen Che said gently.

Meng Changtu interjected, ”But you are the Valley Master.”

Meng Qingxuan considered this for a moment, then smiled brightly. ”Why don’t we remove the head seat and place ours together, side by side?”

”Very well.”

Seeing Meng Qingxuan’s insistence, Chen Che gave a slight nod.

”Let the celebration begin!”

As they took their seats, Chen Che made the announcement. At the same moment, he formed a hand seal for a Spell.

In an instant, the Cultivators outside the main valley grounds cried out in astonishment.

The withered trees and wild grasses by the roadside, long dead, suddenly burst into bloom, spreading out from Jinyun Valley as if competing to be first. Though it was the dead of winter, it felt as if they had been transported to a season of a hundred blooming flowers.

At the same time, a herald’s voice echoed from the valley entrance as Cultivators began to arrive in the plaza one after another.

”From the Yu Family of Chi State, the esteemed Yu Sihai has arrived!”

”The Zheng Clan Leader, the esteemed Zheng Hong has arrived!”

”The Wu Clan Leader, the esteemed Wu Xingtian has arrived!”

...

Guests entered the valley with each announcement.
