In the fourth year of the reign, on the eighteenth day of the first month, early in the morning, in the Qiancheng Imperial City, which was covered with red carpets, the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect began to get busy.
Although the wedding was to be held at dusk, they still followed the instructions of the Sects elders early in the morning and began preparations for the wedding.
These tasks had already been completed two days prior, but in order to ensure perfection, the Sects elders still ordered them to conduct another inspection.
Meanwhile, the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect were making final preparations for the three brides before the wedding began.
Jiang Liu, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected, lying in the pavilion drinking tea and gazing at the clouds in the sky, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Since his advancement two days ago, he has noticed that his aura has become even more subtle.
Previously, he needed to rely on Nebula Shrunken Earth's movement technique to move around so that Flowing Cloud Matriarch could not detect his figure and aura.
Now, he is hidden in such a corner that even the Flowing Cloud Matriarch can no longer sense his presence.
In the past two days, he also exchanged some insights on Flowing Cloud Matriarch.
However, what he said seemed to leave Flowing Cloud Matriarch completely bewildered, as he had no idea what Jiang Liu meant by the Heavenly Dao.
Jiang Liu could only sigh inwardly, realizing that people who haven't experienced the influence of modern civilization are truly remarkable.
These Xu Wu and intangible things are indeed difficult to understand.
However, Flowing Cloud Matriarch also had her own understanding. She always believed that to advance in rank, one had to borrow lifespan from Heaven and fight against Heaven.
However, in Jiang Liu's view, these two ideas are fundamentally different.
To strive against the heavens is to snatch a scrap of leftovers from the hands of the Heavenly Dao and then consume them.
This idea stems from the belief that Heavenly Dao should be high above all else, and whether one can advance in rank depends on Heaven's favor.
However, Jiang Liu was thinking of directly breaking through the Heavenly Dao, that is, if the Heavenly Dao dared not allow him to advance.
Then I'll just completely shatter it and rebuild the Heavenly Dao, and see if it dares to disobey me again.
This is the domineering spirit that is gradually growing in Jiang Liu's heart, and also his determination to change the world.
This was also the main reason why the Heavenly Dao appeared last time, unleashing thunder to try and destroy Jiang Liu's Divine Sense.
As a result, after being taught a lesson by the Data Panel, the Heavenly Dao has been pretending to be dead and refusing to appear.
This made Jiang Liu extremely frustrated. No matter how much he provoked him, it was as if the Heavenly Dao did not exist.
This has made it impossible for Jiang Liu to take advantage of the Heavenly Dao.
However, those are things for later; today is my wedding day.
Jiang Liu sensed something and realized that everyone around him was busy, while he was just lying there like nothing was wrong. What was going on?
Jiang Liu couldn't help but chuckle at his own thoughts, realizing he seemed to be unaware of his own good fortune.
As dusk finally fell, Jiang Liu, who had been urged to come to the Qiancheng Imperial City early in the morning, was waiting for the brides to arrive.
Three newly decorated carriages, each pulled by a three-headed Beast King, had already set off for the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect to pick up the bride.
Jiang Liu only needed to wait at the gate of the imperial city, and then lead his bride slowly into the palace together.
The spectators stood in the imperial city, watching the newlyweds enter the palace.
Inside the palace, not just anyone can enter; only members of major powers are allowed to enter.
However, at that time, the entire imperial city will open its gates wide and hold a grand banquet inside, allowing people from all over Qiancheng to come and participate and offer their blessings to the newlyweds.
Jiang Liu waited at the gate of the imperial city for a short while before three extravagantly decorated floats slowly flew in from the sky.
Along the way, people scattered flowers, filling the sky with their fragrance as the floats flew by.
Someone was even specially arranged to circulate the Water Primal Qi to create a light, hazy mist that displayed various patterns, which were particularly eye-catching under the glow of the sunset.
Behind the three floats, each was followed by a group of female disciples from the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect, all dressed in their finest attire, vying for attention and displaying their beauty, with smiles on their faces.
People who don't know the situation might think they got married along with everyone else.
Following behind, Cuier and Xiao He were also dressed in their newest and most elaborate attire, with bright smiles on their faces.
Because their young lady had finally married her husband in a legitimate way, making them extremely proud and happy.
After the three floats came to a stop in front of the imperial city gate, Jiang Liu waved his hand, creating three energy hands that lifted the curtains of the three floats.
Then, leading the three brides out of the bridal car, they walked towards the gate of the imperial city.
The three brides, all dressed in heavy phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, with beaded curtains on their heads and thin veils covering their faces, walked slowly towards the Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu accepted the red ribbon handed to him by the matchmakers, who were represented by three elders, and led the three brides slowly into the gates of the imperial city.
The people watching the ceremony inside the imperial city immediately cheered loudly and threw flower petals at the four newlyweds.
Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Gongsun Haoyue all walked slowly down the Imperial City Avenue with their heads down.
They could not hide their excitement, especially Gongsun Haoyue, who never imagined that she would have such a day.
Because, ever since she took over as the sect leader of the Star Moon Sect, she never imagined that she would one day get married.
Moreover, she married a Peak Grandmaster who was so much younger than her.
This left her feeling conflicted, unsure of what to think, only that she felt like a woman.
If such a wedding cannot be held, even if a martial artist achieves great success, it seems like it's all just so-so, and there will always be a regret in one's heart.
Jiang Liu, who was standing to the side, sensed Gongsun Haoyue's psychological changes most clearly.
He glanced at Gongsun Haoyue and could clearly sense the change in her aura.
It seems that Gongsun Haoyue's state of mind has improved, and her mental strength has also increased.
Jiang Liu didn't think about it too much, because they were almost at the palace gates.
At this moment, the entire palace was as bright as day, with lights everywhere, red lanterns hanging all over, and huge luminous pearls hanging in every corner of the palace.
The newly renovated palace, even the majesty of the ancient city, was now shrouded in a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
Jiang Liu led the three brides through the palace gates. After everyone else had entered, the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect immediately had people guard the palace gates.
From the moment Jiang Liu and the other three entered the palace gates, Yuchi Yue picked up the sacrificial paper in her hand and began to read it aloud.
Yuchi Yue was acting as a priest, reporting to Heaven that the four newlyweds were about to get married.
The four newlyweds walked slowly across the entrance plaza of the palace gate, crossed the arched bridge, passed through the corridor, and slowly arrived at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The massive wedding procession finally came to a stop, and Yuchi Yue, who had been reciting the sacrificial text, also stopped.
The four newlyweds have to wait here for the wedding emcee to shout slogans before they can enter the main hall.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the four newlyweds.
Before everyone had to wait long, Nangong Yun, who was acting as the master of ceremonies, immediately shouted towards the door, "The newlyweds, thank heaven and earth!"
Jiang Liu, Murong Yin, Feng Yue, Gongsun Haoyue all turned around at the same time and bowed to the sky in a gesture of respect.
At that moment, the darkening sky suddenly changed, and a bolt of lightning appeared, striking directly at Jiang Liu's head.
