At this moment, inside the palace atop the peak of Ice Crown Summit.
A group of important figures had gathered here. Even Tantai Changfei, the person in charge of Ice Crown Summit, could only take one of the lower seats within this palace.
That was because Supreme Elder-level figures from the Tantai Heavenly Clan were also present.
Yet even a Supreme Elder of the Tantai Heavenly Clan did not qualify for the seat of honor within this palace.
The one seated in the position of honor was a remarkably handsome old man.
Indeed, though he was an aged elder, his appearance was extraordinarily handsome. Even the passage of time had left its marks upon his face, it could not conceal his striking looks.
Furthermore, the old man's eyes were extraordinarily spirited, as though two rivers of stars coiled within them.
And his long robe was no ordinary garment either. A faint white glow enveloped it, but it was far from an ordinary radiance — that light was sacred, commanding a reverence that forbade any irreverence.
It was a Sacred Robe, the Sacred Robe of a Spirit World Master — one that only a Sacred Robe Spirit World Master could wield.
And this old man was none other than Nameless Stardust of the Star Domain Main Realm.
He was not merely a Sacred Robe Spirit World Master, but also a peak-level Venerable.
Beside Nameless Stardust, there was also a young woman.
She, too, was seated in the place of honor, right at his side.
This grand hall had originally contained only one seat of honor, yet a second had been hastily added — and that spoke volumes about this woman's significance.
This young woman was stunningly beautiful, possessing a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms and toppling cities. No, to be more precise, she resembled a spirit fox, a charm so overwhelming it could captivate all living things.
Her eyes, in particular, seemed capable of stealing one's soul and seizing one's spirit.
Even though everyone present was a powerful expert, not a single one dared meet this woman's gaze directly.
They all knew that locking eyes with her would very likely bring calamity.
After all, this woman was the infamous Fox Immortal Lady.
The Fox Immortal Lady might look like a fresh-faced young woman barely into her twenties — after all, she appeared so tender and alluring.
In truth, however, she was an ancient monster who had lived for over ten thousand years.
She was not of the human race, but of the Monster race.
The Fox Immortal Lady, like Nameless Stardust, was a peak-level Venerable and a Sacred Robe Spirit World Master.
But compared to Nameless Stardust, the Fox Immortal Lady inspired far greater fear.
This woman was no saint. She was infamous, having killed countless people.
There were even rumors that she would rip out a person's heart and liver and devour them on the spot, simply because she took a dislike to them.
This woman was exceedingly vicious.
Many a good person had perished at her hands, but without evidence, there was nothing anyone could do to bring her to justice.
Combined with her status as a Sacred Robe Spirit World Master and the strength of a peak-level Venerable, people simply turned a blind eye. Few were willing to make an enemy of her.
Originally, this banquet had been meant to invite all four Sacred Robe Spirit World Masters.
However, Liangqiu Chengfeng and Master Long Xuan were engaged in a friendly exchange of techniques, so they had not attended the feast.
Still, this was a banquet after all, and the atmosphere was naturally quite pleasant.
Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect, but everyone had grown excited, and the conversation grew more lively with each round.
When the drinking reached its peak, even Tantai Changfei raised his cup high and began to boast.
