Li Chengyi Gets Married

With each Restoration Pill he swallowed, his Divine Soul grew three feet taller every day.

More than thirty days later, feeling that the Divine Platform Formation could no longer unleash the full potential of his Divine Soul, he Divine Casting Platform on the mountaintop.

At that moment, they noticed that Demon Race occasionally came to the area where North Spring Mountain in the Demon Realm was located.

These demons were only at the Divine Platform or Core Formation Realm level. They seemed to be just passing by, but their gazes frequently fell on the location of North Spring Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing didn't bother with them. These were just small fry scouting the way; killing them would be pointless, and dealing with them would only delay his cultivation.

He thought a war would be imminent, but things took an unexpected turn; the battle came much later than anticipated.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and a heavy snowfall has fallen in the Floating World.

A major event suddenly occurred to Gu Yuanqing: Li Chengyi arrived at North Spring Mountain and knelt before Gu Yuanqing.

"Father, I am getting married."

Upon hearing this, even with his high level of cultivation, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but feel a bit dazed, as this news was completely unexpected.

"Get married? You're only twenty-two, isn't that a bit too early?"

Li Chengyi knelt on the ground and said, "My Imperial Grandpa is preparing to abdicate and pass the Imperial Throne to me, so he has brought this matter forward a bit. I came up the mountain today specifically to ask my father for instructions."

Gu Yuanqing looked at the young man in front of him. Several years had passed, and a light mustache had appeared on the corner of his mouth. His expression had become more mature.

The child who suddenly appeared more than ten years ago seems to have Great Accomplishment in the blink of an eye, and I haven't even had a chance to take a good look at him.

In particular, he devoted himself to spiritual practice over the past year and did not meet with Li Chengyi even once.

His expression was somewhat complicated. He himself was not even married yet, and now his son was about to get married.

"Is she the daughter of Great General Chen Ao?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

Li Chengyi respectfully replied, "Yes, her name is Chen Binglan."

Gu Yuanqing looked up and saw that he had traveled hundreds of miles and landed on a girl. She was practicing Swordsmanship. Her sword was like Wandering Dragon soaring through the air, sometimes as light as a swallow, sometimes as fast as Lightning. Her cultivation had reached the Profound Martial Ninth Layer.

"I've seen this girl before, she's not bad. But are you really sure? This world is vast, far beyond what you've seen. The path to Immortal Path holds endless wonders you haven't yet witnessed. Are you really going to decide your life based on this?"

Li Chengyi raised his head. "Father once said that life and spiritual practice are the same; each stage is a scene. I just want to see the scenery here now. As for what the future holds, we'll see when the time comes."

"Since you've thought it through, then your father has no objections. You can choose your own life. Whether it's right or wrong, as long as you have no regrets, that's fine. However, your Imperial Grandpa is really good at shirking his responsibilities. I see he's in excellent health, yet he's already dumped all this work on you."

Li Chengyi learned some of the past events and knew that his father and Imperial Grandpa, did not get along. He explained, "The Imperial Grandpa's cultivation has been stuck at the Profound Martial Ninth Layer. He is preparing to abandon worldly affairs and devote himself to cultivation."

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "This choice is wise. He is surrounded by the Human Dao Aura, and his foundation has been severely damaged. If he wants to break through to the Dao Embryo, he must dispel the Human Dao Aura, otherwise his mind will be disturbed by it, and he will have little chance."

At this point, Gu Yuanqing looked at Li Chengyi seriously and said, "Human Dao Aura can gather the power of all living beings into one's own body. Profound Martial Ninth Layer cultivator can fight against Dao Embryo, but for cultivators, it is not a good thing. After all, it is an external force, and you must not let it ruin your own cultivation."

"I will remember this well."

Li Chengyi nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father, could you come to the capital on my wedding day? Because of the Great Qian Imperial Throne, I cannot reveal my father's identity to the public for the time being, but I hope that you can be by my side on the wedding day."

Gu Yuanqing glanced up at the Demon Realm and smiled, "Of course, how could I not attend my son's wedding?"

Li Chengyi was immediately delighted.

The father and son chatted for a while longer, and then Aunt Feng brought over some food.

Li Chengyi personally served Gu Yuanqing rice and wine.

Gu Yuanqing remained all smiles. After a year of intense cultivation, this rare heartwarming scene brought him joy.

After the meal, the two walked in the mountains. Li Chengyi looked at the changes in the Mountain and was still amazed, even though he had lived there for many years.

Every time I look at my father, it's as if he's shrouded in mystery.

When the animals in the Mountain saw their young master, they all came out to greet him. The white fox jumped onto Li Chengyi's shoulder, glanced timidly at Gu Yuanqing, and then greeted Li Chengyi warmly.

Li Chengyi rubbed its head and laughed, "How come you haven't grown an inch in all these years?"

Upon hearing this, the white fox stared blankly at Li Chengyi for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before appearing somewhat sullen.

Li Chengyi stayed in the Mountain for a day, and returned to the Imperial Palace the next day.

As Gu Yuanqing watched his figure disappear into the distance, the smile on her face gradually faded.

He looked up again into the Demon Realm, where the auras of Void Heaven Cultivator could be heard from both the Human Race and Demon Race races.

"This battle might not be as dramatic as the last one, all bark and no bite. The surrounding Demon Race seem to be eyeing the Iron Eater Tribe, and my existence is probably just an excuse for Demon Race. But regardless, I will face unprecedented pressure this time!"

Another six months have passed.

The atmosphere in the Demon Realm grew increasingly tense, with even the aura of Celestial Person faintly emanating from it.

At this time, the Eastern Palace residence in Fengtian City was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.

The Crown Prince's wedding shook the entire Dynasty. Everyone knew that Li Chengyi would ascend the Imperial Throne, and the beautiful woman he was marrying would one day become the Empress.

The Fengtian City was filled with joy and celebration.

On an auspicious morning.

Li Chengyi, dressed in magnificent attire, led his entourage in a grand procession towards the Great General's Mansion.

Meanwhile, a wisp of Gu Yuanqing's Avatar arrived at the Crown Prince's Residence. Li Shi'an invited him to the main seat, and even Xu Lianying, who came on behalf of the Emperor, bowed respectfully in his presence.

When the guests saw a stranger appear in the main seat, they couldn't help but take a few more glances and whisper among themselves.

The grand ceremony proceeded as scheduled, and Li Chengyi arrived to greet the concubines.

A place for worship is set up in the main hall.

Xu Lianying read out the Son of Heaven's edict.

Li Chengyi led Chen Binglan in a bowing ceremony.

Gu Yuanqing sat on a seat to the side of the hall, watching these scenes unfold, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Afterwards, all the officials paid their respects and took their seats.

Li Chengyi led Chen Binglan into the side hall.

The people on both sides of the hall were dismissed.

"Binglan, kneel down and pay your respects to Father!" Li Chengyi instructed in a low voice before revealing the truth.

Chen Binglan froze on the spot. Wasn't the Imperial Son-in-Law long ago dead? This young man before her was actually Li Chengyi's father?

Li Chengyi tugged at her.

Chen Binglan quickly composed herself and knelt down with Li Chengyi.

Gu Yuanqing was about to speak with a smile when his expression suddenly hardened and his aura turned cold.
