Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 281 Victory Celebration Banquet.

With the complete annihilation of the Shadow Cult, the cultivation world ushered in a long-awaited peace. To celebrate this hard-won victory, Jun Luochuan's sect decided to hold a grand victory banquet. As soon as the news spread, the entire sect was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

From dawn, the disciples busied themselves. They decorated the sect's plaza beautifully, with huge red lanterns hanging high, swaying in the wind like leaping flames. Exquisite tables and chairs were arranged around the plaza, laden with various delicacies, spiritual fruits, and fine wines. These foods were not only visually appealing and delicious, but also contained abundant spiritual energy, satisfying the appetites of cultivators while aiding their cultivation.

The kitchen was bustling with activity. The chefs displayed their unique skills, creating one delicious dish after another. The rich aroma filled the air, making passing disciples swallow hard.

"Today's celebration banquet is the grandest our sect has ever held in many years, so we can't afford any mistakes." A senior head chef instructed his young apprentice while stirring the spiritual vegetables in the pot.

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely help out and make sure everyone is satisfied with the meal," the young apprentice replied with great enthusiasm.

In the center of the square, a group of disciples skilled in illusion were setting up a stage. Using their exquisite illusions, they conjured up all sorts of wondrous scenes in the air: cranes soaring with outstretched wings, auspicious dragons galloping about, and colorful flowers. These scenes were so lifelike that they seemed almost within reach.

"Wow, the illusion magic of the senior brothers and sisters is getting more and more amazing! The stage setup is absolutely gorgeous!" a junior disciple couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course, today is a celebration banquet, and everyone has shown off their best skills," the senior brother next to him replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao were making final preparations for the victory celebration banquet. Jun Luochuan wore a magnificent white robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, exuding an extraordinary aura. Su Yao wore a light pink dress, the hem of which flowed as lightly as a cloud, and a blooming spirit flower adorned her hair, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness.

"Su Yao, you look so beautiful today." Jun Luochuan looked at Su Yao with eyes full of love.

"You're so sweet-talking." Su Yao blushed slightly and gently scolded him, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"Today's celebration banquet is not only a celebration of our elimination of the Shadow Cult, but also the beginning of our cultivation world's return to prosperity," Jun Luochuan said with emotion.

"Yes, after so many hardships and obstacles, this day has finally arrived." Su Yao nodded, a hint of relief in her eyes.

As the sun gradually set in the west, its afterglow bathed the sect, as if draping the entire sect in a golden veil. At this moment, guests arrived one after another. The sect leaders, elders, and numerous cultivators, dressed in their finest attire, entered the banquet hall with sincere blessings.

"Sect Leader Jun, the successful elimination of the Shadow Cult this time is all thanks to your leadership and everyone's concerted efforts," a sect leader stepped forward and bowed to Jun Luochuan.

"Not at all, this is a collective achievement of the entire cultivation world; no one can be missing," Jun Luochuan replied humbly.

"Sect Leader Jun is too modest. If it weren't for your strategic planning and leadership in helping us overcome dangers time and time again, how could we have achieved such a glorious victory?" another elder exclaimed.

Watching Jun Luochuan exchange pleasantries with everyone, Su Yao felt a surge of pride. Looking at the lively banquet, a sudden idea struck her. She tugged at Jun Luochuan's arm and said, "Jun Luochuan, in such a lively setting, how about we play a little game?"

"Oh? What mischievous idea have you come up with this time?" Jun Luochuan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Su Yao's sly eyes.

"Let's play a game of riddles. I've had riddles pasted on all the lanterns, and those who guess correctly will receive a small prize. This will add to the fun and test everyone's intelligence," Su Yao said enthusiastically.

“That’s a good idea, let’s do it your way.” Jun Luochuan nodded in agreement.

Soon, Su Yao instructed her disciples to attach slips of paper with riddles written on them to each lantern. Upon seeing this, the guests gathered around, eagerly trying to solve the riddles.

“I guess the answer to this riddle is ‘spiritual fire,’ right?” a young cultivator said excitedly.

"Congratulations, you guessed right! This is your prize, a Spirit Power Enhancement Pill." The disciple in charge of distributing the prizes smiled and handed it over.

"Wow, this is great! This spiritual energy enhancement pill will be of great help to my cultivation." The young cultivator happily accepted the prize.

The banquet officially began in a joyful atmosphere. Jun Luochuan stepped onto the stage, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Fellow cultivators, today we gather here to celebrate the great victory of destroying the Shadow Cult. Along the way, we have overcome countless hardships and faced numerous challenges, but we have always remained united and never given up. It is thanks to everyone's joint efforts that we have achieved peace and tranquility today. Here, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude and respect to every cultivator who participated in the battle!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"Now, let's enjoy this rare moment of joy!" Jun Luochuan said, raising his wine glass.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down. Lively music began, and dancers took to the stage, gracefully beginning their dance. Their movements were beautiful and captivating, as if they had infused the beauty and hope of the cultivation world into their performance.

At the banquet, everyone enjoyed delicious food and wine while sharing interesting and thrilling stories from the process of eliminating the Shadow Cult.

"Do you all remember that battle in Spirit Wind Valley? If it weren't for Miss Su Yao's quick thinking in discovering the Shadow Cult's trap, we would have been in grave danger," a cultivator said with a smile.

"Yes, Miss Su Yao is not only clever and quick-witted, but also brave and fearless, playing a crucial role in the battle," another cultivator chimed in.

Hearing everyone's praise of Su Yao, Jun Luochuan felt a surge of pride. He looked at Su Yao and said softly, "See, everyone recognizes your worth."

Su Yao smiled a little shyly, "I just did what I could."

Just then, a disciple came to report: "Sect Leader Jun, there is a mysterious guest outside requesting an audience. He says he has a great deal to do with this victory."

Jun Luochuan and Su Yao exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with doubt. "Please invite him in," Jun Luochuan said.

A moment later, a man dressed in a black robe slowly walked into the banquet hall. He was handsome, but his eyes held a mysterious air.

"And who are you?" Jun Luochuan stepped forward and sized up the mysterious man.

The mysterious man smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "My name is Xuan Ying. I have come here to present a gift to express my congratulations on your victory over the Shadow Cult."

With that, he waved his hand, and a huge spiritual treasure chest appeared before everyone. The chest emitted a dazzling light, and it seemed to contain powerful spiritual energy.

"This is..." Everyone looked at the treasure chest in surprise.

"This treasure chest contains precious spiritual items that I have collected during my travels, which should be of great help to your cultivation," Xuan Ying said.

"Such a generous gift, thank you so much. But why are you so concerned about our affairs?" Jun Luochuan asked, puzzled.

Xuan Ying was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "To be honest, the Shadow Cult also caused me considerable harm in the past, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge. When I learned that you were fighting against the Shadow Cult, I secretly helped you, which can be considered as venting my anger."

"I see. No wonder we always manage to escape danger at crucial moments. It must be because of your secret help." Jun Luochuan suddenly realized.

"It's nothing, nothing to mention. I'm also very pleased to have witnessed your victory today," Xuan Ying said.

"In that case, Brother Xuanying, please join us at the table and celebrate this moment of victory with us," Jun Luochuan warmly invited.

"Then I shall gladly accept your offer." Xuan Ying smiled and took his seat.

The celebration banquet continued, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively. Guessing riddles, performing shows, and sharing experiences—everyone was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

Looking at the lively scene, Su Yao was suddenly filled with emotion. "Jun Luochuan, what do you think our cultivation world will be like in the future?"

Jun Luochuan gently grasped Su Yao's hand and said with a firm gaze, "After this ordeal, the cultivation world will be more united. We will work together to make the cultivation world more prosperous and flourishing. And we will always protect this beautiful land."

"Yes, I believe we can do it." Su Yao nodded with a smile.

Before they knew it, the night had deepened. The bright moon hung high, casting a soft glow. The banquet gradually drew to a close amidst laughter and chatter, but a new chapter in the world of cultivation was just beginning. Jun Luochuan and Su Yao stood in the square, watching the guests slowly disperse, their hearts filled with anticipation and hope for the future.

"Today's celebration banquet was a great success, and everyone is very happy," Su Yao said.

“Yes, this is just the beginning; we have much more to do,” Jun Luochuan said.

"No matter what the future holds, we'll face it together." Su Yao looked at Jun Luochuan, her eyes shining with determination.

"Okay, let's face it together." Jun Luochuan held Su Yao's hand tightly, as if he were holding the whole world in his hands.

On this beautiful night, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao's figures appeared especially warm under the moonlight. Their story will continue to be written in this world of cultivation, full of mystery and miracles, and the world of cultivation will usher in an even brighter tomorrow under their protection.
