Qian Xun took it, pinching the invitation letter between two fingers. It was luxuriously crafted from the Primordial Immortal Realm's rare Sovereign-grade divine material, Immortal Fall Stone, and leaked a torrential, imposing aura that even ordinary Ancient Sovereigns would find difficult to withstand.
Opening the invitation, he saw a line of concise words. The general meaning was that before the Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly competition, the strongest talents from the various Ancient Chaos Universes were specially holding a grand feast for the strongest talents, hoping the top talents from all sides could attend to get acquainted.
Naturally, it also invited the strongest talents from the Pangu Universe.
Ye Jing said, "Father, I'm afraid this is a Hongmen Feast."
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "A Hongmen Feast? Do you want to attend?"
Yan Shen chuckled. "Sounds interesting. But so what if it's a Hongmen Feast? Would they dare to attack us right before the Heaven's Pride Assembly? Besides, if they really dare to make a move, they shouldn't think our Pangu Universe is easy to bully."
He truly had such confidence because his good friend Ye Chen was a Quasi-Giant, his master was the newly ascended Eternal Giant, Emperor Yan, and he himself was a Monarch. He feared no one.
Yaya giggled. "Dad, they're provoking us. Can we just kill them directly?"
Ye Chen tapped his eldest daughter's smooth forehead helplessly. "With a temper like that, be careful you can't find a Dao companion in the future."
Yaya snorted delicately. "Dad, that's going too far. I, Yaya, have peerless, matchless talent, beauty that outshines the mortal world, and suitors as numerous as fish in the river, countless. I'm not worried at all. Besides, who says I, Yaya, must find a Dao companion? I'm perfectly fine alone. If I had to find some useless trash, I'd rather live by myself."
"I support Sister Yaya!" Chenxi giggled. Ye Jing also voiced her support from the side.
Ye Chen felt rather helpless towards his three daughters.
The three of them were all princesses of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, darlings showered with boundless affection. Their looks, cultivation talent, cultivation level, background, and so on were all of the highest caliber. Ordinary Heaven's Prides and talents truly weren't worthy of them, not even Supreme Geniuses.
The strongest talents of a major Ancient Chaos Universe were almost the same.
Of course, Ye Chen wasn't like ordinary Imperial or Immortal Clans that would strip their children of freedom. Even the various Heaven's Supremes wouldn't do such a thing, having their own pride. He let his children choose freely, especially him.
Even if his three daughters never married, Ye Chen wouldn't blame them.
Qian Xun said proudly, "So what if it's a Hongmen Feast? Let's attend. They wouldn't dare to truly do anything to us. Besides, I really want to see what the strongest talents from the other Ancient Chaos Universes are capable of."
He was filled with boundless fighting spirit, especially after becoming an Eternal Sovereign. Now standing at the peak of the Eternal Sovereign realm, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary Monarchs.
Anyone who dared provoke him would be struck back directly.
Before the Chaos Sea Heaven's Pride Assembly competition, it would be good to test the strength of the strongest talents from other Ancient Chaos Universes.
Ye Chen did not stop them. "You go. If anything happens, I'll bear all responsibility."
No need to say more; that one sentence was enough.
Of course, with his status, it was impossible for him to attend. The so-called Strongest Talents' Feast was, in his eyes, merely a contest among the younger generation. He had long since transcended such things.
As night deepened, a group led by Qian Xun, Yaya, Chenxi, Ye Jing, and the Ancient Demon God—the strongest talents of the Pangu Universe—attended the Strongest Talents' Feast.
Ye Chen remained within Pansheng Hall, but a strand of his divine sense rested upon them. If anything happened, he would naturally descend at the first moment.
Thus, half the night passed. He raised his eyes, looking towards a massive celestial palace hall in the central area of the Immortal King City, where powerful fluctuations abruptly erupted. Multiple supreme auras were clashing fiercely, suggesting an intense battle had broken out.
Half an hour later, Qian Xun and the others returned, laughing heartily and feeling immensely pleased. "Those grandsons from the alien race dared to incite the strongest talents from other Ancient Chaos Universes to come provoke us. Those so-called strongest talents from the Falling Heaven Ancient Universe were also fools, actually daring to charge forward to fight us. Well, Yaya stepped up and directly sealed a large group of strongest talents. Only the Monarchs managed to break free, but it was too late for them to rescue the others. I just struck them back."
At the feast, the Pangu Universe and the Alien Ancient Universe had always been mortal enemies. Naturally, when enemies met, their eyes turned red with hatred.
Thus, some were willing to become the dogs of the Alien Ancient Universe and fight against the group of strongest talents from the Pangu Universe.
Unfortunately, everyone underestimated the Pangu Universe's capabilities. Yaya, as the World Tree, cultivated to the Monarch realm, was unfathomably deep. She struck first, directly releasing a Temporal-Spatial Emperor Art and, in the blink of an eye, suppressed most of the unprepared strongest talents from the Falling Heaven Ancient Universe. Only three Monarchs resisted with their strength, unaffected by the suppression.
However, the power of the Pangu Universe's strongest talents exceeded everyone's imagination. Qian Xun and Yan Shen stepped forward and directly held them off.
If not for worrying about revealing his absolute peak Eternal Sovereign strength too early, Qian Xun would have already taken action.
Even so, the group of strongest talents from the Falling Heaven Ancient Universe suffered a great loss.
The feast was greatly shaken. No one expected that a declining, defeated Pangu Universe could display such glory this time, suppressing the many strongest talents of an entire Ancient Chaos Universe.
The Pangu Universe had truly risen!
Ye Chen nodded slightly, not asking for further details. He already understood the course of events. The so-called Heaven's Pride Feast was fundamentally a Hongmen Feast, a feast for Heaven's Prides hosted by several Ancient Chaos Universes aligned with the Alien Ancient Universe.
During the feast, incited by the Alien Ancient Universe, many Ancient Chaos Universes targeted the Pangu Universe.
As for the Primordial Immortal Realm, although its strongest talents also came to participate, they did not help the Pangu Universe much.
Perhaps it was because today, Ye Chen had shattered the Celestial Gate with a finger, suppressed five Supreme Immortals with overwhelming force, which had angered many Supreme Immortals of the Primordial Immortal Realm. Thus, they had likely ordered the Immortal Realm's strongest talents not to intervene.
However, thinking this alone would make the Pangu Universe's side of strongest talents suffer was somewhat wishful thinking.
After all, with the arrival of the Golden Age, the Pangu Universe was no longer the ignorant fool of the past. The current Pangu Universe's strength and prosperity far surpassed that of many Ancient Chaos Universes. These Ancient Chaos Universes still harbored thoughts of teaching the Pangu Universe a lesson, which was simply impossible.
As for the alien race, Qian Xun directly stepped forward, pointed at their noses, and shouted provocations: "A bunch of spineless scoundrels who only stir up trouble from behind. Have the guts to come out and fight me, Qian Xun, in a battle. Whoever loses calls the other 'father'."
These words directly enraged the Alien Ancient Universe, their faces turning black.
They didn't know where Qian Xun got his confidence from, but they knew that behind him stood the Battle Saint King, a Quasi-Giant-level existence. If they truly dared to fight, who knew if that madman Battle Saint King would seize the chance to attack.
Yes, a madman!
It wasrecognized by the Alien Ancient Universe: the Battle Saint King was a great madman. Hadn't he done enough crazy things over the years?
Not long ago, upon entering the Primordial Immortal Realm, he did something insane: shattering the Immortal Gate, suppressing five Supreme Immortals, collapsing the Immortal Pass—all the craziest acts.
The feast concluded. The Pangu Universe's side of strongest talents returned in complete victory under a dazzling halo, stirring up waves from all directions.
Everyone knew that this time, the Pangu Universe was vastly different from before.
At midnight, Haotian Quasi-Immortal King abruptly appeared, ascending to Pansheng Hall.
