After spending so much time in the deceitful cultivation realm, he thoroughly enjoyed the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere of the Ancient Race, untainted by worldly disputes.
Seeing Lu Yuan agree.
Ancient Mo quickly ordered people to slaughter cattle and sheep, preparing for the bonfire feast.
Then he secretly instructed a few men to take out several jars of precious wine from the Clan Leader’s house.
These jars of fine wine were brewed using various Ancient Treasure Medicines, even including some Immortal Divine Medicines.
Their precious value far surpassed that of Enlightenment Tea.
Even the Clan Leader himself was reluctant to drink it, regarding it as an unparalleled treasure.
Only when other Clan Leaders of the Ancient Relic Race visited would the Ancient Abyss open the jars to share a drink with the esteemed guests.
Back then, Ancient Mo, just by catching a whiff of the wine aroma, had his mouth watering and had been longing for it until today.
Now, taking advantage of the bonfire gathering, he simply moved all the jars of fine wine out.
Upon seeing this, Ancient Abyss was so anxious he nearly blew his beard and glared, almost leaping up from his place, itching to rush over and give Ancient Mo and the others a beating.
But after a while, as if thinking of something, he suddenly halted his steps.
"So be it, darkness approaches, turmoil is imminent, all Ancient Races will face reckoning."
"If these jars of wine aren’t drunk now, I’m afraid there won’t be another chance in the future, let them indulge once more."
Standing there, a touch of sadness flickered in the eyes of Ancient Abyss.
Though he could face life and death calmly, he couldn’t bear to leave his simple tribespeople and everything about the Ancient Race.
Lu Yuan witnessed all of this, and his feelings were also quite complex.
The dark turmoil would reckon with everyone, no one could stay out of it.
Whether it was for Liu Mingyan, for his unborn child, or for this simulation task.
He had to eradicate all sources of darkness and give them a peaceful and harmonious world!
As night fell.
A full moon hung high in the sky, casting a hazy glow, as if draping a veil over this idyllic haven.
In the open area of the Ancient Race.
Several bonfires had been built with firewood, and quite a bit of roast meat was set up on them.
The villages’ men eagerly opened the Clan Leader’s collection of long-preserved fine wine, then picked up porcelain bowls and took turns offering toasts to Lu Yuan.
"A guest is here, Friend Lu, have a taste of our Ancient Race’s fine wine!"
"Then I won’t be polite."
Lu Yuan accepted all the offers and drank each cup in one go.
For a moment.
The fragrance of wine was rich, and the aroma of meat was overwhelming.
The blazing bonfires illuminated everyone’s faces with a rosy glow.
The people of the Ancient Race took advantage of the wine’s strength, singing, and dancing merrily by the bonfire.
After several rounds of drinks, both hosts and guests were delighted.
This lively bonfire feast lasted until midnight before gradually coming to an end.
Lu Yuan hiccupped, his face slightly flushed.
Usually cautious and never careless even during cultivation, he found himself indulgently tipsy tonight, a rare occurrence.
In fact.
As the Invincible Venerable, not just a few jars of wine, he wouldn’t have the slightest hint of drunkenness even if he drank every brew since ancient times.
But this time, he didn’t use his power to dispel the alcohol, instead allowing the effect to take hold.
"The Ancient Race is simple and free from worldly struggles; if I am still around in the future, I should bring Yan’Er here once."
Lu Yuan lay back with his hands under his head, gazing up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, his heart softening a bit.
He then lay down beside the bonfire, with a hint of smile at his lips, sleeping shoulder to shoulder with a group of men from the Ancient Race.
How could there be no clothes? Together with you, we stand!
The sea of the Dao is boundless; I am not alone on this path!
