The Ming Dynasty and other countries were at peace, but something destined to be recorded in history was about to happen: a grand wedding that would make the Ming Dynasty famous for generations was about to begin!

What kind of wedding is the most dazzling? What kind of wedding is the most amazing?

Even a thousand years from now, whoever it is, will likely answer, "The wedding of the God of War, Zhang Xingfeng!"

At this moment, the entire capital was enveloped in a festive atmosphere. Of course, Zhang Xingfeng had spent a considerable amount of money to create such an atmosphere; even Zhang Xingfeng widespread Dragon Soaring Jade Shop, Tianfeng Casino, and Tianfeng Fur Shop all celebrated the occasion through various means.

Soon, the whole world knew that Marquis Zhang Xingfeng, the young, wealthy, and powerful Dragon Son of China, known as the God of War, was getting married! Almost every woman in the world envied the woman who would become Zhang Xingfeng's wife.

In the Primordial Era, Zhang Xingfeng displayed his true power. Now, all the major powers of the world knew that Zhang Xingfeng possessed a force capable of sweeping across the land at any moment. He boasted over a thousand powerful experts at the Heavenly Realm, and possessed an invincible master like Zhang Xingfeng! At this moment, the Star Peak Family could be summed up in one word—arrogant!

When the power of an individual or group becomes so great that it threatens the world, it will be attacked by all forces! But when its power far exceeds the combined strength of all other forces in the world, even the world will tremble before it. Even if it is wrong, no one will say it is wrong, because it has reached the point where it can set the rules.

Even if they steal your things, they can claim them as theirs; if they kill you, they can make you pay compensation. That's power! Unrivaled power! Is it Hegemonic Way? Heh, but it has the power to be Hegemonic Way. Killing and stealing are minor forms of Hegemonic Way; true Hegemonic Way is:

Zhang Xingfeng announced to the world that he had obtained 100 million taels of gold from Temujin's astonishing treasure.

Is it Hegemonic Way?

They initially told Zhu Li that it was stolen by the Li Family, and even had Zhu Li lead government troops to fight a battle against the bandits of Taihang Mountain! But now they're announcing it like this, isn't that Hegemonic Way?

However, the news that Zhang Xingfeng had acquired 100 million taels of gold caused a sensation throughout the land. 100 million taels of gold! That's 10 billion taels of silver, a huge sum far exceeding the national treasury!

The Li Family found out, and they were finally certain that Zhang Xingfeng had indeed obtained the gold! But what could they do? Compete with Zhang Xingfeng? Knowing Zhang Xingfeng's true power, their immediate reaction was to send Zhang Xingfeng a congratulatory gift of money.

Zhu Li finally realized that he and Li Yang had been tricked. But what could he do? Zhu Li couldn't even feel a trace of resentment towards Zhang Xingfeng; he only felt admiration, pure and simple admiration for Zhang Xingfeng! Knowing how to best serve the court when admiring a powerful figure, Zhu Li understood that since the gold already belonged to Zhang Xingfeng, opposing him now would undoubtedly be detrimental. It was better to do him a favor, so he sent congratulatory gifts to the Star Peak Manor.

But what shocked the world and made Zhang Xingfeng's wedding the most outstanding in history was that the dowry was one billion taels of silver.

Throughout history, there has never been a wedding with a dowry exceeding 100 million taels of silver. Even the Four Great Families only had a few million taels of silver, at most tens of millions of taels, which was already extraordinary!

A dowry of one billion taels of silver would take even a noble Aristocratic Clan decades or centuries to earn. Yet, a single wedding had a dowry of one billion taels of silver.

Almost every prominent figure in the land with a daughter of marriageable age was thinking about when they could let their daughter marry Zhang Xingfeng. They believed that for someone of Zhang Xingfeng's status, having six or seven wives and concubines was perfectly normal. In fact, Aristocratic Clan even required the head of an Aristocratic Clan to have a minimum number of wives and concubines. This was for the sake of the prosperity of the Aristocratic Clan's future generations.

Many beautiful women dreamt of a windfall, hoping Zhang Xingfeng would take a liking to them. Suddenly, the capital was flooded with beauties, all dressed impeccably and frequently seen around the Star Peak Manor... their intentions were obvious, but they were destined for disappointment. However, many others caught the eye of other nobles and princes of the capital, and their lives became quite comfortable.

Perhaps the Yuwen Family is the one most regretful right now. The choice made by the Yuwen Family Head back then has left the Yuwen Family with deep regret. If they had let Yuwen Rou marry Zhang Xingfeng, with Zhang Xingfeng's current power, even without discussing the dowry, just having Zhang Xingfeng as a backer would probably have made the Yuwen Family even more prosperous. But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and the Yuwen Family can only send people to deliver congratulatory money to express their congratulations!

At this moment, at the Star Peak Manor, it was the day before the wedding!

"Yu Yan, we're getting married soon, are you happy?" Zhang Xingfeng smiled, but the deep affection in his eyes was undisguised.

***Yan is no longer the spoiled and arrogant girl she used to be; all she has now is gentleness and tender affection!

"Brother Feng, I really didn't expect this day to actually come true, really? I've only ever dreamed of it!" *** Yan said shyly. As she spoke, she looked happily at the beautiful dress she was wearing.

This Crimson Phoenix Robe was a protective magic Law Treasure that Zhang Xingfeng painstakingly and happily crafted, approaching the level of a celestial artifact. Considering that *** Yan's cultivation level was not high, Zhang Xingfeng could only use a large amount of precious materials to craft this Crimson Phoenix Robe.

The materials used in the Crimson Phoenix Robe were sufficient to forge a Top-grade Immortal Artifact, but in order for *** Yan to wear it, Zhang Xingfeng could only upgrade its level to that of a top-tier Law Artifact.

Of course, the reason why this grand wedding has been passed down to future generations is also because the dowry is astonishing!

Nestled in a bamboo-lined stream on the western outskirts of Beijing, this is where ***Yan's family home is located, and it's also the place Zhang Xingfeng arranged for them.

At this moment, Feng Tiejun couldn't help but marvel at his younger sister. The fiery and spoiled girl who used to wield a whip had transformed into such a virtuous and gentle woman in just one month.

Feng Tiejun looked at the comfortable manor and smiled.

"Hey, I, a mere seventh-rank official, have risen to the rank of second-rank military officer in just a few days, managing 100,000 troops in the Central Army Corps. Hehe..." Feng Tiejun chuckled to himself.

He finally realized just how powerful Zhang Xingfeng truly was. He'd made him a second-rank general in the blink of an eye. There were dozens of generals in the country, but the army numbered in the millions! Out of millions, there were only a few dozen generals. And he was now one of them, in the most powerful Central Army Corps.

"Dad, why are you always like this!" Feng Tiejun was already a little unhappy. Looking at his father, whose ecstatic behavior ever since he learned that his daughter was involved with the legendary Zhang Xingfeng, he felt a surge of joy.

"Tie Jun, ten billion taels of silver! Ten billion taels of silver! This is all the Feng family has! Heavens! Even the Emperor can't afford this!" Old Man Feng shouted excitedly. But he still made sure not to get his clothes dirty, and even when he slept at night, Old Man Feng would hug this Sky Silk Snow Silkworm Robe to sleep.

Even the emperor cannot freely use the silver in the national treasury; it is the nation's money! If the emperor were to use too much, all the ministers would likely try to stop him. Unless a major event occurs, the nation's money can only be used to benefit the people, not for personal enjoyment!

However, the ten billion taels of silver that Old Man Feng currently possesses can be used entirely for his own enjoyment. Even if Old Man Feng were to live a life of luxury, eating the best food and having the best entertainment every day, it would probably take him several lifetimes to squander it all.

"Father, this money belongs to my brother-in-law. You..." Feng Tiejun shook his head and sighed. He had already given up all hope for this father.

"What are you saying? Even Xingfeng has to respectfully call me Father-in-law!" Old Man Feng raised an eyebrow and said smugly. That time Zhang Xingfeng called him Father-in-law, Old Man Feng, who cared a lot about his reputation, was almost overjoyed. You know, even the current emperor wouldn't dare to do anything to Zhang Xingfeng.

Ever since Old Man Feng became Zhang Xingfeng's father-in-law and entered this brothel, countless nobles and dignitaries have come to invite him to dinner every day. In the past few days, Old Man Feng has been touring all the luxurious places in the capital.

"Father, what are we going to do with the dowry tomorrow?" This is what's troubling Feng Tiejun the most right now. Zhang Xingfeng's 1 billion yuan dowry is really putting the Feng family in a difficult position.

"Sigh, yes, this dowry is really troublesome. It's not presentable without several million taels!" Old Man Feng is very concerned about his reputation. He didn't intend to spend hundreds of millions of taels on the dowry, but he would at least spend several million. After all, Zhang Xingfeng had given a billion taels.

"Reporting to Master, Earl Lang Feng Fang of the Star Peak Manor has arrived!" a servant said respectfully to Old Man Feng.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Feng immediately said, "Good, good, good, please come in, please come in!" Old Man Feng is now treating the people of the Star Peak Manor very well.

"Lang Feng greets Patriarch Feng!" Lang Feng walked in and respectfully addressed Old Man Feng. Even if he himself was not very skilled, he still had to be respected as Zhang Xingfeng's father-in-law.

"Lang Feng came this time specifically about the dowry!" Lang Feng said with a smile.

When Old Man Feng heard that he was the head of the family, he was quite happy. Now that the Feng family had enough money, he could also become the head of the family. However, not many people addressed him as such. Obviously, Old Man Feng was very pleased with Lang Feng's words.

But in an instant, Feng Tiejun Old Man Feng were stunned. Did they have to come and see the dowry now? What kind of nonsense was this? Besides, they didn't even have a plan yet! Hearing Lang Feng say this, it was clear that the father and son were a little angry.

Lang Feng smiled slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a flash of blue light appeared. It was the Azure Bracelet, which Zhang Xingfeng ultimately gave to his brother.

Feng Tiejun was stunned, and Old Man Feng was dumbfounded;

A massive purple jade stone— Zhang Xingfeng had searched the entire Ming Dynasty using his Spiritual Sense and found four such stones. However, these stones were all slightly smaller than the one Lang Feng had found previously! But Zhang Xingfeng had a solution. He used his Qi Cauldron to completely refine and fuse these purple jade stones together. Although the Qi Cauldron had removed many impurities and reduced their size considerably, the fused stones, even though smaller, were still larger than Lang Feng's!

This piece of purple jade even possessed some of the characteristics of a ritual Law Artifact, emitting a captivating and dazzling purple light under the sunlight.

The "Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing" has appeared again, this time also produced by Zhang Kuang, and it's half a time larger than the last one! Moreover, due to the refining process, the purple jade stone's radiance is even more captivating.

"This is... Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing?" Old Man Feng exclaimed in shock.

Having been in the capital for some time, Old Man Feng was familiar with the term "Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing," but it seemed to have become much more Dragon Soaring Phoenix Dancing.

"This is what my second brother prepared for Patriarch Feng. He knows Patriarch Feng doesn't have time to prepare, so he just needs to send these as part of his dowry tomorrow!" Lang Feng said with a smile.

When Old Man Feng Tiejun found out, they were filled with gratitude towards Zhang Xingfeng. They gave him 1 billion taels of silver and even helped him prepare his dowry!

Lang Feng knew exactly what his second brother was up to, but he also greatly admired Zhang Xingfeng's various methods.

This was Zhang Xingfeng's big day.

Suddenly, the wind picked up...

The sky was filled with changing clouds; it wasn't a sunny day.

At the Star Peak Manor, one after another, wealthy and noble people greeted each other with smiles as they touched the Jade Invitation in their hands. These were not ordinary invitations, but rather specially made by Zhang Xingfeng. There were a total of 4,300 invitations, and all the people invited were from wealthy and noble families. Of course, each person with an invitation could only bring a maximum of two people in.

This Jade Invitation was made of top-grade jade, with Heart Calming Formation placed on each piece. This is something cultivators often give to mortals in the Cultivation World. The Heart Calming Formation doesn't have any great uses, but it can keep your mind pure and undisturbed by external influences. This effect delighted the important person who received the invitation.

It can be said that everyone who enters Star Peak Manor has at least hundreds of millions of taels of silver in assets, or holds an extraordinary position in the imperial court.

The wealthy watched as those important figures entered Star Peak Manor, but they couldn't get in. Although these wealthy people had millions or even tens of millions of silver, they were simply not qualified!

How they longed to go in! That was the real gathering place for the world's most elite people!

Old Man Feng was very pleased with himself. Zhang Xingfeng had given him ten invitations, and only now did Old Man Feng realize the value of the invitations. Looking at the ten wealthy people behind him who were smug and respectful to him, Old Man Feng entered Star Peak Manor with high spirits.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and then disappeared immediately, followed by the thunder. The weather began to improve, and suddenly the clouds in the sky started to change shape.

"Xi Xi"

The clouds in the sky miraculously formed the Chinese character for "double happiness"! This astonished the entire world!

Suddenly, beautiful music began to play.

The grand wedding has finally begun...
