Heavenly Marriage Begins
Time flies.
Before we knew it, the day of our Heavenly Marriage had arrived.
Above the Heavenly Court, celestial music filled the air, and auspicious clouds dotted the sky, creating a festive atmosphere.
The Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness, regardless of their inner thoughts.
They prepared generous gifts and set off for the Heavenly Court.
Pangu Hall, Zhou Ming looked at his younger siblings and smiled faintly.
"Let's go, we should join in the fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the hall.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches followed closely behind, transforming into thirteen streams of light that shot straight towards the Heavenly Court.
As soon as the group arrived at the South Heaven Gate, they saw that Fuxi and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were already waiting there.
Upon seeing Zhou Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Taiyi's expression became somewhat unnatural.
But they still stepped forward together with Fuxi and bowed in respect.
"Welcome, Sage Zhou Ming, and greetings to all fellow Daoists of the Ancestral Wu."
Zhou Ming remained calm and nodded slightly. "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
The Ancestral Wu returned the greeting, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
Fuxi wore a perfectly measured smile and offered his compliments.
"The presence of the Saint is a great honor to our Heavenly Court."
He paused, then explained.
"His Your Majesty the Demon Emperor was unable to personally greet the Demon Queen due to preparations for Demon Empress arrival; we hope Your Saint will forgive him."
Zhou Ming waved his hand dismissively.
"It's alright, he's the main character today, it's normal for him to be busy."
Upon hearing this, Fuxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped aside to lead the way.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Saint."
"Please come in, Your Saint."
He then gestured "please" to the assembled Ancestral Wu.
"Fellow Daoists, please come in."
After saying this, Fuxi and Taiyi led the way, taking Zhou Ming and the twelve Ancestral Witches towards the Lingxiao Palace.
Along the way, celestial flowers bloomed everywhere, and auspicious clouds filled the air, revealing the extravagance of the Heavenly Court.
Zhu Rong pursed her lips and muttered under her breath.
"All that fancy stuff is nothing compared to the grandeur of our Pangu Hall!"
Gong Gong nodded. "Exactly, he has the air of a nouveau riche."
Although their voices were soft, everyone present was Great Powers and could hear them clearly.
Taiyi's face darkened, but he dared not retaliate and could only quicken his pace.
Soon, the group arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Stepping into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Zhou Ming glanced around.
It was discovered that almost Great Powers with names and surnames from the Primordial Wilderness had arrived.
Seated high in the front row were none other than the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti.
Laozi closed his eyes to cultivate his spirit, Non-action and naturalness.
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw the Ancestral Wu Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
The Tongtian Sect Master observed Zhou Ming and his group with great interest, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and curiosity.
Jieyin still looked miserable.
When Zhunti saw the Wu Clan, a glint flashed in his eyes.
Further down the table were Guests of Purple Cloud Palace, including Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and the Ancestor Minghe.
When everyone saw Zhou Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Witches enter, they all stood up and bowed.
"Greetings, Sage Zhou Ming!"
Greetings, fellow Ancestral Wu!
The sounds rose and fell, filled with awe.
"Fellow Daoists, no need for formalities," Zhou Ming said calmly.
The Ancestral Wu returned the greeting in unison. "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
Then, Zhou Ming walked straight towards Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, it's been a long time; you still look as dashing as ever."
Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi quickly got up.
"I have met the Saint."
Hong Yun added enthusiastically.
"The presence of the Saint has truly enhanced the beauty of this place!"
Seeing this, many Great Powers in the hall revealed envy in their eyes.
What an incredible opportunity it is to be so close to Saint!
Why didn't they establish such a relationship with Sage Zhou Ming?
Fuxi observed all of this and, without making a sound, led Zhou Ming and the Twelve Ancestral Witches to their seats.
He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to attend to other matters.
The crowd didn't have to wait long; with a melodious chime, the ceremony finally began.
Above the Heavenly Court, Celestial Music drifted in.
Everyone turned their gaze outside the hall.
A colossal, magnificent Phoenix Carriage appeared, surrounded by countless enchanting female Celestial Officials.
It came from the distant Moon Star and slowly descended onto the Square in front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Seated atop the Phoenix Carriage was a stunningly beautiful goddess, none other than Xi He.
After a long while, the Phoenix Carriage arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xi He slowly stepped down and came to Di Jun's side.
Just then, Dao Body appeared silently beside Zhou Ming; it was Nuwa.
She nodded slightly to Zhou Ming as a greeting, then tossed the item into her hand.
The Innate Red Embroidered Ball flew out instantly and hovered above Di Jun and Xi He's heads.
A red light swirled around, and a red thread, seemingly both real and ethereal, emerged from it, a truly wondrous sight.
The silk threads seemed to possess a life of their own; as soon as they appeared, they gently wrapped around the wrists of Di Jun and Xi He.
Upon seeing this, Di Jun took a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely solemn and dignified.
He addressed the Nine Heavens Above and proclaimed in a loud voice.
"Heavenly Dao's will prevails!"
"Now there is the Demon Emperor Dijun the Demon Clan, and the Moon Star Goddess Xi He."
"I feel that the Primordial Wilderness has caused an imbalance of Yinyang, resulting in disordered marriages."
"We vow to become husband and wife, to establish Heavenly Marriage, to uphold moral order, and to serve as a model for all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness!"
"We now invite the Saint Nuwa and the Sage Zhou Ming to bear witness!"
The sound reverberated throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.
The moment he announced the end, the Nine Heavens Above shifted and the winds raged.
Heavenly Dao sensed this and countless auspicious clouds gathered towards the Heavenly Court, radiating Golden Light and auspicious colors.
Zhou Ming and Nuwa exchanged a glance, then simultaneously channeled their Magic Power to activate the Innate Red Embroidered Ball.
The Innate Red Embroidered Ball shone brightly, emitting waves of mysterious energy.
The Marriage Thread on Di Jun and Xi He's wrists vibrated violently, eventually turning into a red light and disappearing completely into their bodies.
This signifies that their Heavenly Marriage is complete, and their Fate will be intertwined, their Fortune entangled, and their Karma intertwined.
Zhou Ming and Nuwa spoke at the same time, their voices resounding throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.
"The Heavenly Marriage is here!"
Boom!
In response to the will of Heavenly Dao, boundless and inexhaustible Profound Yellow Merit Qi converged.
It descended from the sky, its Golden Light dazzling and illuminating the entire Heavenly Court.
Everyone was awestruck by the Merit Golden Light.
However, just as this Merit was about to be bestowed...
Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, his internal Magic Power quietly circulating, and a terrifying aura was about to be unleashed.
Be prepared to intercept Heavenly Secrets and seize Merit at any time.
He hasn't taken any action yet, but he's prepared to do so at any time.
Zhou Ming! What are you trying to do?!
Nuwa immediately sensed the power gathering within him and was greatly alarmed. She quickly sent a telepathic message to inquire.
Zhou Ming ignored her completely; he didn't even glance at Nuwa.
He simply raised his head, his gaze calmly fixed on the descending Merit Golden Cloud.
Seeing Zhou Ming's appearance, Nuwa's heart sank to the bottom.
She gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She could only send another telepathic message, her tone softening considerably.
"Don't do anything reckless! At worst... at worst, I'll give you all my Merit!"
