Primordial Taoist Palace.
Ten Thousand Transformation Holy Island.
The Ten Thousand Transformation Holy Island is the sacred site inherited through generations of the Transformation lineage, also the dojo of Sacred Supreme Jin Yu.
However, on this day, the protagonist of the Ten Thousand Transformation Holy Island was not Sacred Supreme Jin Yu, but the recently rising Wang Licui, the Little Immortal Monarch.
Today was the 400th birthday banquet of Wang Licui, the Little Immortal Monarch.
Sacred Supreme Jin Yu and Wang Licui hit it off right from the start and became as close as anything shortly after. Now that Wang Licui wanted to host her 400th birthday banquet, Sacred Supreme Jin Yu proactively offered her own Ten Thousand Transformation Holy Island so that her birthday could be celebrated in style.
This led to today’s lively scene.
Many guests came to celebrate on the Sacred Island today. Besides a few Supreme Beings who had already offered their previous congratulations, most were True Immortals, inheritors, or excellent young disciples from various sacred islands.
Logically, a birthday for a mere disciple in the Divine Power Territory would only be celebrated among close relatives and friends, and such a grand scene would not occur.
The reason for this grand situation is attributed to the widespread promotion by Sacred Supreme Yun Hai.
Things like "the future Quasi-Tao Child of the Taoist Palace" and "the Taoist Master was amazed by Wang Licui, shamelessly competing with Yun Hai for the apprentice", and so on. Sacred Supreme Yun Hai bragged without restraint to anyone who would listen.
Although the other Sacred Supremes often had words about Sacred Supreme Yun Hai, it was true that the Taoist Master did let Wang Licui stay at Hongzhen Palace for a while and gifted a treasure, which couldn’t be faked. So, even if they saw Sacred Supreme Yun Hai as disagreeable, they knew that he indeed received a good disciple this time.
Having caught the Taoist Master’s eye, the future of Wang Licui, the Little Immortal Monarch, was three or four parts assured.
Such a figure was, of course, worth befriending.
Thus, many young elites were willing to prepare lavish gifts and made a special visit to associate with Wang Licui. Moreover, Wang Licui’s birthday banquet welcomed all, including many Void Realm and Divine Power Territory disciples who also received invitations.
Meanwhile, Sacred Supreme Yun Hai had concocted an even more outrageous maneuver. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
He set up a large sign at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Transformation Holy Island, listing the birthday gifts sent to Wang Licui by various Sacred Supremes, with content updated in real-time.
This stirred those who were unprepared to give gifts, or sent fewer gifts, no choice but to compensate with lavish gifts.
One must admit, Sacred Supreme Yun Hai’s tactics were very effective. After the birthday banquet, upon tallying the accounts, it turned out to be a profitable batch of more than sixty Immortal Spirit Stones.
However, a bunch of aggrieved Sacred Supremes naturally wouldn’t just let it go.
One Sacred Supreme, who had lost a significant chunk, sneered in public, saying, "Yun Hai, Yun Hai, you act like nobody else has one or two excellent disciples. When this passes, my disciple could also host a 600th birthday banquet at which time you’ll have to return the favor."
Such rumors startled the other Sacred Supremes, and they were instantly enlightened.
Right~ it’s not like only Sacred Supreme Yun Hai has disciples. Doesn’t everyone have a few proud disciples? It’s just a birthday banquet. If Yun Hai can host one, they certainly can too. Host a few more, and won’t they all reclaim what Yun Hai gleaned today?
So they put their thoughts into action. Upon returning, many Sacred Supremes began quietly planning for their disciples’ or their events, preparing suitable banquets.
No way around it; if you don’t host, others host, how can you reclaim the sent gifts?
An adverse trend of banquets began to fester within the Primordial Taoist Palace.
Not a month passed when a certain Sacred Supreme did host the 600th birthday banquet of a direct disciple, widely inviting peers, especially aiming at Sacred Supreme Yun Hai and his disciple, with a series of plans that made them spend more...
However, they ultimately underestimated Sacred Supreme Yun Hai.
When a disciple visited with invitations, Yun Hai’s place was already vacated long ago, leaving only a letter informing fellow Taoists that they had gone traveling in the Central Lands and not to worry!
The news almost made that Sacred Supreme cough up blood in anger, sighing toward the sky.
The shamelessness of Yun Hai is not something an ordinary person could emulate. Ultimately, he was one move behind~

Meanwhile.
In Da Qian Chang Ning Guard’s Xinping Town, located in the Shouzhe Avenue’s Xinping Administration Center.
As the Bureau of Culture and Entertainment expanded, the forty-ninth floor was completely occupied, and they had also "annexed" the forty-eighth and fiftieth floors, with a total staff of over five thousand people.
Such an enormous structure had far exceeded the framework originally intended by Wang Baosheng years ago.
Fiftieth floor.
The chief’s office where Wang Baosheng resides.
This office is the core of the Bureau of Culture and Entertainment, where all major decisions are made. However, the office itself is not very large, and its decor and furnishings are not much different from those of the other offices within the bureau, with nothing particularly special about it.
Unless you saw it for yourself, no one would believe that Wang Baosheng, the most noble young master of the Changning Wang Clan, would have such an office.
But for those who understand him, this is not surprising at all. Wang Baosheng is known to be extremely self-disciplined, demanding a lot from himself. In his view, extravagance and comparison are unhealthy trends and should not be encouraged.
He has never had any demands on his living expenses, only needing dan medicine and spirit food essential for Cultivation, while everything else just needs to be functional. In the end, it’s some elders who find it unbearable, occasionally gifting him decorative items, with his mother Yun Mengyu sometimes pressuring him to make a few sets of ceremonial dress for various occasions, barely giving him the appearance of a noble from a Prominent Family.
