Under his questioning, the Immortal Official indeed named over a dozen immortals, all busy with various matters and thus unable to attend the banquet.
Yibai was understanding of this.
Most of these immortals were occupied with tasks; it was quite normal for them to be unavailable.
If this were the Mortal Realm, claiming to be busy might often imply poor relations with him, but in the Celestial Court, things were different.
Immortals are busy.
"Then among the many great gods, has any explicitly declined?"
The great gods Yibai spoke of were none other than the Dongyue Emperor, the Monk of the West, the Nine Heavens Respondent Universal Thunder Venerable, and the like.
"Not one, the Netherworld Administration has reported that the Dongyue Emperor himself will come in person."
The Immortal Official was quick to reply.
"That is very good indeed."
Yibai couldn't help but smile.
His master was coming in person.
