Chapter 357 The Birthday Banquet of the Old Master(Updated 4 times, subscribe!)"_1
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over ten days passed. Quickly, the day of the Grand Celestial Master's birthday arrived.
On this day, Dragon Tiger Mountain bustled with activity, throngs of people coming and going. The seats were full of guests; the place was extremely lively.
In an era when the Six Great Holy Lands' Wuji Daoist Gate did not emerge, one could say that Dragon Tiger Mountain held sway over the Daoist community of the world, being the most prosperous Daoist influence throughout the nine provinces.

The clerics of the Celestial Master Church of Dragon Tiger Mountain were particularly adept at thunder magic. It was said that upon mastering their martial arts to perfection, one could even communicate with the heavens and earth, calling down a thunderbolt to strike down foes.
However, such a realm required far too lofty a cultivation, and only the founding ancestor of the Celestial Master Church of Dragon Tiger Mountain had ever achieved it. Since then, no one had witnessed it again.
"Have you heard? Recently, the Old Celestial Master refined a Dragon Tiger Purple Gold Pill, a rare elixir that appears only once every hundred years!"
"What?! Really, or are you kidding? The Dragon Tiger Purple Gold Pill that is said to immediately allow a martial arts grandmaster at the Hundred Orifices Stage to achieve the Innate Realm and become a great grandmaster upon consumption?"
"Indeed, the Celestial Master Church of Dragon Tiger Mountain closed off its mountain for this very reason. It is said that not long ago, a purple aura enveloped Dragon Tiger Mountain, and visions of dragons and tigers intertwiningly soared into the sky, a sure sign that the Dragon Tiger Purple Gold Pill had been produced."@@@@
"Refinement of the Dragon Tiger Purple Gold Pill is incredibly difficult. The Old Celestial Master is in his later years and yet managed to refine not one but two such pills—I have nothing but admiration."
"Now, the young Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, also the most gifted in three hundred years within the Celestial Master Church, is rumored to have taken the Dragon Tiger Purple Gold Pill and successfully advanced to the Innate Realm."
"He's reached the Innate Realm already?! If I recall correctly, that young Celestial Master isn't very old, is he?"
"Not old indeed, but he is already thirty this year. By comparison, he falls short of Da Xia's Lord Gu Chen of the Martial Peace Marquis from Jiangzhou."
"Lord Gu advanced while in the Spiritual Realm, that shouldn't count, should it?"
"Where did this rascal come from, daring to cause trouble at the Old Celestial Master's birthday banquet?" scoffed a warrior behind Gu Chen.
However, the disciple of the Celestial Master Church of Dragon Tiger Mountain did not immediately dismiss Gu Chen but instead inquired, "May I ask who you are?"
"Da Xia, from the Jing Tian Department, Gu Chen."
Boom!
As soon as Gu Chen announced his name, the place suddenly buzzed with excitement. After all, Gu Chen, now a grandmaster in the Innate Realm, was the youngest grandmaster of the martial arts community in all nine provinces.
The previous warrior who had mocked Gu Chen was dumbstruck. He too was from a first-class force in the local Jiangzhou area, yet he hadn't imagined the person he'd run into so casually would actually be Gu Chen.
"Lord Gu, I truly apologize; I was blind and failed to recognize you. Your magnanimity is as vast as the heavens..."
Gu Chen paid no heed to the apology from the warrior, ignored him completely, and proceeded to step inside the Celestial Master Church of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The disciple did not dare to stop Gu Chen. After all, Gu Chen was no longer a junior but a grandmaster in the Innate Realm, whose status could match the heads of the world's top powers.
He was merely a disciple on gate duty. With his status, if he dared to obstruct Gu Chen, even if Gu Chen killed him, the Celestial Master Church of Dragon Tiger Mountain couldn't complain.
Dare show disrespect to a grandmaster of martial arts? There's no need to keep him alive if he did!
The scenery of Dragon Tiger Mountain was beautiful, with strange rocks standing tall, flying corners with cascading waterfalls, high terrain shrouded in clouds and mist, like a bridge to the fairy realm.
Once inside, disciples specifically guided Gu Chen, leading him to a spot.
Seeing Gu Chen seated in a position reserved only for grandmasters in the Innate Realm, the crowd looked on with faces full of wonder.
"Who is this person, and why is he allowed to sit there?"
