Six Saints Arrive at Lingxiao Hall, Nüwa Presides Over the Heavenly Marriage, Saints Gather, a Grand Occasion!
Saints were indestructible through myriad tribulations.
Within the Primordial World, their status was transcendent, second only to the Dao Ancestor.
Thus, when the Great Powers attending the Heavenly Marriage ceremony saw the Three Pure Ones arrive, how could they dare neglect them? They all stepped forward to bow and pay their respects to the Saints.
If they could win a Saint's favor and be accepted as disciples, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity.
Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Sect Leader responded with smiles.
After paying their respects, everyone took their seats.
The Three Pure Ones naturally sat in the most conspicuous positions, while the three Saints' Personal Disciples sat behind them.
The Primordial Wilderness's powerful figures occasionally cast glances their way, secretly envying Guang Chengzi and the other two for their immense fortune in becoming Saints' disciples and receiving their personal teachings.
Just then, Taiyi personally led two Daoists over from the distance.
These two were none other than the Western Sect's two Saints.
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin strode forward with imposing bearing, their gazes sweeping casually across the hall.
Behind them followed two disciples, the Personal Disciples of the Western Sect's two Sect Leaders.
Seeing Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin arrive, the Three Pure Ones also rose to their feet.
"Greetings, three senior brothers!"
Zhun Ti and Jie Yin stepped forward and saluted the Three Pure Ones.
Guang Chengzi, Lin Zhu, and Xuan Du were not meeting Saints for the first time.
Seeing the Saints arrive in person, they hurried forward to pay their respects.
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin swept their gazes over Lin Zhu and the other two.
They were not surprised by Xuan Du or Guang Chengzi.
But Lin Zhu had actually reached the Daluo realm and attained the Grand Luo Dao Fruit.
At the last Heavenly Court Ceremony, Lin Zhu had only been a Golden Immortal.
Such cultivation speed could only be called astonishing.
Naturally, though the two Saints were inwardly surprised, they did not voice it. They merely nodded slightly and casually praised the three disciples a few times.
Then Daoist Zhunti looked at the two young men behind him and said, "Daoist Bhaisajyaguru, Ksitigarbha, why don't you step forward and pay respects to your three senior uncles?"
These two were Daoist Bhaisajyaguru and Ksitigarbha, the Personal Disciples of Zhunti and Jieyin.
Hearing this, the two hurried forward and saluted the Three Pure Ones.
Taishang Laojun smiled. "Congratulations, junior brothers, on accepting Personal Disciples. We came in haste this time and did not prepare any gifts. Let these two golden pills be gifts for my two martial nephews."
Seeing this, Tongtian Sect Leader and Yuanshi Tianzun also took out treasures and bestowed them upon Ksitigarbha and Daoist Bhaisajyaguru.
Ksitigarbha and Daoist Bhaisajyaguru hurriedly thanked them for their grace.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhunti and Jieyin took their seats.
As powerful figures of the Primordial Wilderness arrived one after another, tens of thousands of experts had already gathered within the hall.
Just then, lotuses bloomed in the void, Immortal Music drifted through the air, rainbow mist curled about, and a strange fragrance filled their nostrils.
Then petals descended from the heavens as several fairy maidens stepped through the void.
Each fairy maiden held a colorful ribbon in her hand, each ribbon a hundred zhang long. At the end of those ribbons stood a breathtakingly beautiful woman clad in colorful robes, barefoot with a pair of lotus feet exposed.
"Junior Sister Nüwa has arrived!" Taishang Laojun said.
Even without him saying so, Lin Zhu could have guessed. With such a grand display, it could only be Nüwa.
Soon, Nüwa descended onto the plaza, followed by a young Daoist child.
Seeing Nüwa arrive in person, how could the Primordial Wilderness's powerful figures dare be negligent? They all hurried forward and saluted her. "Greetings, Nüwa!"
Nüwa nodded slightly and gently raised her hand. The tens of thousands of people bowing before her felt a surge of mana lift them upright, and they could not help but be utterly shocked.
A Saint truly deserved to be the most powerful existence in the Primordial World.
With a mere gesture, she carried an irresistible presence. They could not resist at all.
Nüwa moved her lotus feet and stepped before the Three Pure Ones and the Western Sect's two Saints. "Nüwa greets her five senior brothers."
The Saints all rose to greet her.
Nüwa said, "Lingzhu, why don't you pay respects to your senior uncles?"
The Daoist child stepped forward and saluted the Three Pure Ones and the Western Sect's two Saints. "Lingzhu pays respects to my senior uncles and wishes them well."
Seeing that Nüwa had also accepted a disciple, Taishang Laojun could not help but smile. "Congratulations, junior sister, on accepting a disciple. I shall give him a golden pill as a meeting gift."
With that, he bestowed a golden pill upon Ling Zhuzi.
Tongtian Sect Leader and Yuanshi Tianzun also bestowed treasures afterward.
Seeing this, the Western Sect's two Saints naturally bestowed treasures as well.
However, the treasures they gave could not compare in quality to those of the Three Pure Ones, making them seem much more stingy.
Lingzhu thanked the Saints.
Only then did Nüwa excuse herself, saying she had matters to attend to and needed to preside over the wedding. She bade the Saints farewell.
After saying that, she led the Daoist child toward Lingxiao Hall.
Seeing this, Taiyi and Dijun hurried out to welcome her.
Once the Primordial Wilderness's powerful figures had all arrived, the Heavenly Marriage ceremony finally began.
On the plaza, the demon race's Great Sages had long ordered Spiritual Fruits and fine wine prepared to entertain the various powerful figures and Great Powers.
Countless fairy maidens carried fine wine and delicacies to the many experts.
Donghuang Taiyi stepped forward and loudly offered words of welcome. They were all polite formalities, and the crowd voiced their thanks in return.
Everyone was awaiting the main event: the Heavenly Marriage that Nüwa would personally preside over for Dijun.
Sure enough!
Nüwa descended upon the plaza draped in colorful ribbons, her boundless Saintly might sweeping in all directions.
Seeing her, the many Great Powers all rose to pay their respects.
Nüwa nodded slightly and said, "At the Heavenly Emperor's invitation, I have come to the Heavenly Court to preside over this Heavenly Marriage. Today is the Heavenly Emperor's wedding day. The Heavenly Emperor shall take the Sun Goddess and Moon Goddess as his wives. I hope you will all bear witness."
After speaking a few words, Nüwa said no more and directly announced the formal beginning of the Heavenly Marriage ceremony.
With a wave of Nüwa's hand, countless fairy maidens draped in colorful ribbons emerged from the void and descended upon the plaza.
The fairy maidens danced gracefully, and Immortal Music began to play.
Countless petals fell from the void, while a red canopy stretched over from afar and spread across the sky.
Several dozen fairy maidens dressed in red flew out from atop the red canopy and descended gracefully. They all bowed toward the distance. "We invite the Heavenly Emperor and the two Imperial Consorts!"
Sure enough, Dijun appeared, dressed in a scarlet robe, a red embroidered belt around his waist and an Emperor Crown upon his head, walking slowly through the void.
At his sides stood two peerlessly beautiful women.
Both wore colorful robes and went barefoot, each possessing a thousand alluring charms.
The three descended, and the Heavenly Marriage formally began.
Saint Nüwa personally presided over the Heavenly Marriage, delivered the marriage proclamation, and announced it to the great world of the Primordial Wilderness.
The wedding ceremony lasted a full thousand years.
The Heavenly Court arranged all manner of performances, while countless members of the demon race stepped forward with gifts to congratulate the Heavenly Emperor on his marriage.
Immortal Wine and fine liquor were continuously brought forth for the Primordial Wilderness's Great Powers to enjoy.
At last, the wedding ceremony ended.
All the Primordial Wilderness's powerful figures, the Three Pure Ones, the Western Sect's two Saints, Lin Zhu, Guang Chengzi, and Xuan Du—
Every expert present rose to their feet.
"Congratulations to the Heavenly Emperor on his marriage!"
All the fairy maidens of the Heavenly Court, demon race experts, Demon Soldiers, and Demon Generals clasped their hands in salute and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to the Heavenly Emperor on his marriage!"
Countless members of the demon race throughout the Primordial World sensed it in their hearts.
Their status was lowly, so they naturally could not ascend to the Heavenly Court to offer congratulations in person. Sensing that the Heavenly Marriage had been completed, every member of the demon race in the Primordial World fell to their knees and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to the Heavenly Emperor on his marriage!"
Their thunderous voices spread throughout the four directions.
