On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head.
Suitable for sacrifices, groundbreaking ceremonies, topping-off ceremonies, and signing alliances.
The Dragon Palace banquet has begun.
Above the upper reaches of the Yellow River, within the range overlooked by Tianshan, a magnificent palace emerges from the depths of the river, diving ninety thousand zhang. After parting the turbulent waves, this grand structure reveals itself, unveiled through the veil woven by time and space.
It adheres to an ancient architectural style, being lofty, magnificent and imposing. Its pillars are like heavenly columns, and its palace gates resemble celestial portals.
The palace walls were built with enormous, translucent crystal bricks. They stretched endlessly upwards and sideways, like a grand river so vast it seemed impossible to contain.
The walls bear the traces of time, weathered and worn. These are not the marks of decades or centuries, nor even millennia. They speak of epochs turning, of eras giving way to each other. The tide of history washes away everything that came before, leaving behind only these indelible impressions.
It is a living fossil from the ancient times, history itself!
Jiang Wang is now standing at the gate of the Changhe Dragon Palace, as if he has arrived at the era when the demon clan's heavenly court was supreme and the dragon clan claimed to be above all else in the heavenly court.
Dragons adorn everything in sight, exaggerated and grand. Waves crash overhead like a boundless sea, and massive fish swim past. Yet it feels like another realm entirely, forever out of reach.

Time is powerful!
The miracle of creating such things was also erased from its splendor.

Once, at least tens of millions of beings lived here, which could make this grand building seem less empty.
>
At present, one glance reveals emptiness.
It is said that the number of aquatic creatures living in the Dragon Palace has dwindled to less than ten thousand.
It's like a vast lake with only a few tadpoles swimming in it. No matter how lively they are, the lake remains empty and desolate.
The roar of the waves, surging for thousands of miles, seemed very distant. Being at the bottom of the long river, there was no fluctuation at all.
It's like "being surrounded by thunder and lightning, yet able to calmly drink tea".
The Dragon Palace banquet invitation, carried upon one's person, emits a brilliant light, proclaiming the arrival of esteemed guests.
A male aquatic creature with a horizontal bone on its forehead and an unknown species, wearing a robe of special material from ancient times, stepped out of the palace gate with cloud-like gait in accordance with dragon etiquette: "Pingqing, the attendant of the Dragon Palace, obeys the Jade Decree of the Dragon King, welcoming Mr. Jiang Wang and Master Jingli into the hall."
Of course, if we were to speak of ancient etiquette, this dragon palace attendant's step on the cloud-stepping platform itself is an act that violates decorum.
Hengyunyibu is a step unique to the Dragon Clan, used to welcome distinguished guests. As they walk, it stirs up flowing clouds, appearing graceful and unrestrained yet dignified. It is forbidden for non-Dragon Clan members to perform this step.
As is well known...in the Changhe Dragon Palace, there is only one true dragon.
The Dragon Palace banquet invited the best and brightest of the land. Naturally, Jingli's name was on the list. Jinghai, a disciple from the Hanging Cloud Temple’s Dragon Subduing Courtyard, also received an invitation. However, since Jingli had already set out, there was no need for him to come as well.

Jing Li couldn't possibly leave without going with Jiang Wang, he had to watch over his junior brother.
This was also his first visit to the Chang He Dragon Palace. Looking at everything, it felt so novel and interesting. When a dragon palace attendant came to greet him, he excitedly waved his hand: "Junior brother, come on!"
>
However, Jiang Wang remained still: "No need to rush, I'll wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for" Jingli was a curious monk.
"Wait for others."
>
"Who are you waiting for" Jingli asked straight to the point.
>
Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Little monk, why don't you go in first to scout the way for me I'll come find you later."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"That's alright then!" Jingli shook his head vigorously, grinning. "I'll wait with you."
At this time, the dragon palace attendants silently waiting spoke: "This door opens a time-space projection. When you enter the Dragon Palace through this door, your time and space will not be synchronized. You cannot wait for anyone here."
He thought to himself, how could it be that at such a grand palace gate, there were only him and Jingli present He hadn't arrived too late, had he
Jiang Wang was not embarrassed either.
He just stood quietly outside the palace gate, glanced at the distance, and he felt that at this moment in some time and space, someone was also waiting for him.
This feeling is very peaceful.

"Then, I shall trouble you to lead the way," he said.
"You're too kind." Pingqing, a servant of the Dragon Palace, walked in front, leading the two human prodigies into the Dragon Palace.
Three figures walked in the vast country, like ants crawling on ancient temples.
Jingli had his own point, he chased after the waiter and asked: "Since we've entered different time periods, how can we eat together"
Pingqing patiently answered, "It's just a difference in the space-time at the entrance. This is to protect the Dragon Palace and also to protect the river section where the Dragon Palace is stationed. The space-time after entering the hall is the same."
"I'm vegetarian," Jingli emphasized again.
Ping Qing said, "I have prepared vegetarian food for you."
Just like that, through one question after another in the Jingli Temple, passing through palace gates as grand as celestial arches, walking past courtyards adorned with various dragon sculptures, and crossing bridges spanning across the Milky Way...
Having arrived at a grand hall.
This hall has a starry sky as its ceiling and the waves of different eras as its floor tiles. It has no walls on all four sides, infinitely spacious. Rather than simply being a grand hall, it is more like a world within itself. There is infinite brilliance and boundless romantic fantasy.
>
Jiang Wang first saw a peerlessly beautiful woman standing not far inside the entrance, with her hands behind her back, idly looking at the patterns on the floor tiles.
Her profile couldn't be described as delicate, but rather like a jade carving lightly sketched with mist, ethereal and otherworldly.
Today, I'm wearing a cloud-white unisex tunic. My long hair is tied up with a jade crown, and the ends simply fall behind me. There's an air of a noblewoman who stands out in this chaotic world.
She is naturally Ye Qingyu.
Before coming, they had arranged to meet at the palace gate through letters, to experience this Dragon Palace Banquet together.
When Jiang Wang looked at her, she also happened to turn her head.
Those eyes, gentle and tranquil, clear and full of life.
A strand of hair fell across her brow, fluttering like autumn waves. In those waves, the reflection of her green robe also swayed slightly. And one's heart, too, fluttered along with it, gently and softly.
Jiang Wang said: "They said that no one would be waiting for them outside the palace gate."

Ye Qingyu smiled, a gentle tinkling like clear stream water. "I was embarrassed to say at first that I was waiting for someone, so I said I was admiring the scenery. Later, after looking for a long time, I asked, 'Hey, why didn't I see anyone else'"
Please provide me with the text content you would like translated. I'm ready to help!
Then both of them burst into laughter.
Jìng Lǐ only then looked away from the temple, which he had been admiring. To his surprise, he saw his junior brother chatting with a woman.
He silently crept closer, widening his keen eyes and pricking up his sensitive ears.
What a demon!
Ye Qingyu was momentarily dazzled by the gleaming bald head, and with a gentle smile, said: "This must be the Hanging Void Temple's Glass Buddha Son that Little Jiang often mentions to me. Greetings, Little Saint Monk!"
She knew that the master and apprentice, Ku Jue and Jing Li, were very kind to Jiang Wang. To the point where she now had a good impression of the entire Buddhist world. The wandering monk came to Yun Guo and never left hungry.
Jing Li opened her innocent eyes and asked, "Who are you My junior brother didn't mention you to me."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Jiang Wang stood in the middle and quickly introduced: "This one is my good friend, Jing Li from Xuankong Temple. And this one... is also my good friend, Ye Qingyu from Lingxiao Pavilion. You all get to know each other once you're born twice, chat a few more words and you become friends, haha."
Ye Qingyu smiled and said: "Jingli, the young monk is a high-ranking figure in Buddhism. He emphasizes the four emptinesses, and he must be impatient with idle chatter... I just seemed to have seen Master Punen from Mount Sumeru. Would you like to go see him and discuss Buddhist teachings"
"There's nothing to discuss." Jingli said bluntly, "My master said that the authentic Buddhism is in Xukong, and the authenticity of Xukong lies with the Three Treasures. I wouldn't go with those..."
He suddenly twisted his brow: "You just said, Pun"
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
This name sounds familiar.
Was it the master who told you to beat up anyone you met later
"Yes, that's right." Ye Qingyu said.
With a pure heart and mind, he always did what came to his thoughts. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Where is it"
Ye Qingyu pointed in a direction, and he suddenly rushed off like a wild horse... He was grabbed by Jiang Wang.
"The banquet hasn't started yet, don't go around picking fights. Besides being unwelcome in the Dragon Palace, you should save some energy for later sparring. Fighting while earning prize money, wouldn't that be profitable"
Jing Li's eyes were full of admiration as he said, "Junior brother, you are so clever!"
Ye Qingyu secretly thought it was a pity.
But this monk's eyes rolled, and he pulled out a conical hat and put it on his head: "I'll sneak off to observe first."
He's not stupid!
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy means victory in a hundred battles. How can you not scout out the opponent first before attacking with a sack over their head
No need for Ye Qingyu to overthink it, he stealthily went away.
This way of observation is hard not to be observed by others.

But Jiang Wang was also moved by him.
This is not the time to worry about etiquette.

Jiang looked at the young monk's back and said nonchalantly, "You know, he is a monk. There are some things I can't talk to him about..."
"Some things... what things" Ye Qingyu tilted her head and looked into his eyes.
"Well, uh…" Jiang Wang struggled to find the right words in the barren wasteland of her vocabulary.
Ye Qingyu was at the Dragon Palace Banquet, a gathering of heroes from across the land, when she felt an intense pressure closing in. "What"
Suddenly a loud shout startled both of them.
"Jiang Wang!"
Xu Xiangqian, with his increasingly bright forehead, stood up in a more conspicuous position within the hall and waved forcefully.
The clamor of voices drew the attention of all in the hall.
Today, at the Changhe Dragon Palace banquet, who isn't a prodigy Who doesn't have some status Everyone is seated, three or two familiar faces gather together, speaking in hushed tones. Such a commotion is rare.
Of course, the name 'Jiang Wang' is also a focal point of attention.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Standing behind Xu Xiangqian was Zhao Wuyan, who unobtrusively moved to the side. Perhaps he didn't want to be grouped with him either.
He was oblivious, still shouting: "The two prodigies of Ganma Mountain are reunited today! This year's Dragon Palace Banquet is truly a high-stakes affair!"
The Dragon Palace Feast is a single-person table setting, so it's not like everyone sits together around a big dining table.
Before the main banquet began, and before the Dragon Monarch made his appearance, not all the guests had arrived yet.
In the hall, many dining tables were set up. At this time, they were piled high with all sorts of exotic fruits.
Dressed in ceremonial robes from different eras, the Dragon Palace attendants stood by crystal pillars, awaiting the summons of their guests.
While Xu Xiangqian could be annoying, he was also a bit pathetic. However, it still made Jiang Wang happy to run into him here.
To meet an old acquaintance in a strange land is one of life's greatest joys.

Immediately, he made a gesture to Ye Qingyu, and strode forward with a beaming smile: "Calling so loudly, I thought you were practicing the Lion's Roar!"
Xu Xiangqian seemed not to understand this veiled reminder, or perhaps he didn't hear Jiang Wang say anything at all. He burst into laughter: "I really did sleep for a while and then became enlightened. It was really simple!"
"When did you leave the snowy country" Jiang Wang asked with a smile.
"Yes, I became a god last year! Alas, I didn't work hard in my daily life and wasted my years. My master often said that with such good talent, I was truly a waste." Xu Xiang sighed and looked around: "Hey Where are Li Longchuan, Yan Fu Chongxuan, and the others"
Before Jiang Wang could reply, he let out another heavy sigh: "Alas, it is what it is. The Dragon Palace Feast isn't something anyone can attend. After all, they haven't ascended to godhood yet."
Jiang Wang endured it once, twice but three times was too much. He raised his hand to stop her: "Alright alright, if you keep talking, it'll be rude."
Xu Xiangqian extended both hands, warmly grasping this outstretched palm: "As the days go by, the distance between us and our old friends grows wider and wider. It's not my wish. Brother Jiang, I feel so lonely! Only you can understand me! In times of adversity, when I look around, there are few true brothers!"
Ye Qingyu originally wanted to greet Jiang Wang's good friend, but after following him over, she couldn't insert a word.
Wow, this is really secret!
The two of them chatted away, surprisingly happily.
> As expected of a friend!
Jiang Wang pulled his hand out forcefully, unwilling to continue the topic of "one sleep divine presence." "Let me introduce, this is Ye Qingyu from Lingxiao Pavilion."
Xu Xiangqian took a serious look, pondered for a moment, and suddenly slapped his hand: "I know! The one who shook hands with you at the Guanhe Terrace! She was wearing a veil back then!"
Then, in a contrived voice, he squeezed out: “Congratulations, you’re the number one!”
Ye Qingyu showed no shyness, and laughed generously: "Congratulations to you too. You've become enlightened after just one sleep! Truly a genius."
Xu Xiangqian gave Jiang Wang a hearty nod of approval before waving his hand dismissively at Ye Qingyu: "It's just an empty title, an empty title. I don't care about those things."
Another big step backward, he returned to stand beside Zhao Wu Yan. He enthusiastically said: "You don't need any introduction for Jiang Wang anymore. The main purpose is to introduce you to Qing Yu – this is Zhao Wu Yan from Longmen Academy."
After introducing him, he still grinned and said, "You know what I mean."
Seeing Zhao Wu's expressionless face, a look of disdain mixed with grudging admiration flickered in Jiang's eyes. The saying goes, "A graceful woman is admired by gentlemen." This fellow truly lived up to the title, pursuing her from Wai Dao all the way to Xue Guo.

Behind closed doors, he would scoff at Xu Xiangqian, saying that a toad like him had gotten hold of swan meat.
"At this moment, he earnestly said: 'Miss Zhao learns from a hundred schools of thought and Brother Qian is truly sincere and enthusiastic. The two of you are indeed a perfect match!"
With a pale face, he gently nodded his head in acknowledgment.
Xu Xiangqian laughed, his teeth showing, and waved his hand. “What are good matches and bad matches We haven't officially become betrothed yet! As scholars of the Confucian tradition, we value 'etiquette'. We cannot make private arrangements. I have already written to my teacher, and he will choose a auspicious day to go to Longmen Academy to formally propose.”
"Zhao Wuyan was somewhat surprised, staring at him: 'When did this happen I don't know about it.'"
"Aren't you aware of it now" Xu Xiangqian was delighted: "Didn't I want to give you a surprise"
...Zhao Wu Yan was a very independent person and never liked being arranged like this. But seeing Xu Xiangqian smile with wrinkles, she couldn't help but smile along. She reached out and pinched him: "What are you surprised about You only know how to act on your own!"
"Wrong, wrong! I know I was wrong!" Xu Xiangqian hissed in pain: "Next time you come, okay You let your teacher go to Qingshan Academy to propose to me!"

"You have such a thick face!" said Zhao Wuyan, her hands gripping even tighter.
In their usual manner, the usually composed and aloof Zhao Wu Yan behaves like a little girl with a temper. Usually calm and collected Xu Xiangqian displays an odd and inexplicable happiness.
In this vast dragon palace.
... also in the little details of their past experiences.
Jiang Wang smiled warmly at them, and in what should have been a place of turmoil, she felt a quiet happiness.
