On Our Wedding Night, Willow Deity Joined Me on a Spiritual Journey Across the Boundary Sea
"Could the person you mentioned be that Source Heavenly Master whose twilight years were plagued by ominous misfortune?"
Willow Deity truly lived up to her status as an ancient Immortal King Giant.
She had actually guessed Red Hair's identity straight away.
"I can't be sure either. Besides, that state was very unstable. Once I was disturbed, it just..."
Shi Xiu recalled the scene of meeting Red Hair in the void.
Even now, he still found it strange.
But he had no idea what an extraordinary opportunity this was in an Immortal King's eyes.
Only his heavenly Dao treasure body could escape the restrictions of space and time.
And connect to the greatest opportunities in the entire universe!
This was also why so many powerful factions in the Upper Realm were desperate to get their hands on him.
Become the Dao Companion of someone with a heavenly Dao treasure body, and one could obtain an immortal body.
One could also connect to the greatest opportunities in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
"Lord Willow Deity, the wedding feast is ready. Might the two of you..."
Just as someone was desperately trying to recall that scene,
the village chief approached with a cheerful smile.
He was also holding a red bridal veil.
A brand-new one.
Although this was a mortal custom, Willow Deity had long since grown accustomed to it.
"Mm, keep everything simple. Take this brat outside!"
"Huh? Me? What for?"
"You little brat, don't you know the rules? It's your wedding night. Don't go breaking our Stone Village customs!"
Seeing that Shi Xiu still looked bewildered,
the village chief stormed up, grabbed him by the ear, and dragged him away.
But this really wasn't his fault.
The village chief had no idea that the body of the brat before him actually housed a transmigrator.
The kind with a system!
Still, once he thought about it afterward, he understood.
On the wedding night, tradition dictated that the bride and groom stay apart at first.
They couldn't cling to each other right from the beginning.
Wouldn't that rob the bridal chamber of its meaning later?
"Sister, you look so beautiful today!"
Willow Deity was simply too beautiful.
Even the village women responsible for dressing her up were so dazzled that they could barely move.
In the end, they could only ask Yun Xi to help.
"Little girl, don't fret. Your turn will come next. I'm not so optimistic about that princess of the Fire Kingdom!"
Willow Deity was speaking the plain truth.
Compared to the Saintess of Heavenly God Mountain before her, Huo Ling'er was still a little girl.
Besides, the Fire Kingdom had far too many rules about this and that. Even choosing a Royal Consort was troublesome.
The Primordial Divine Mountain, on the other hand, clearly wanted this Saintess to become Shi Xiu's Dao Companion.
So once they learned what was happening here, they would certainly give her a green light all the way.
From that perspective, matters seemed much easier for Yun Xi than for Huo Ling'er.
"Sister, Huo Ling'er and I already..."
"Hehe, you two little girls can work out your own affairs. Either way, I accept both of you as my younger sisters!"
Tonight was Willow Deity's wedding night.
This former Immortal King Giant seemed to have suddenly regained the heart of a young maiden.
There was even a faint hint of anticipation.
It was a rather rowdy wedding feast.
That, too, was a Stone Village tradition.
Practically every man drank himself senseless, and the women were much the same.
If he hadn't opened his ten grotto-heavens and used them to cheat by storing the wine away,
Shi Xiu would certainly have been drunk under the table by the village men that day.
Those fellows were clearly doing it on purpose.
After all, their village's Sacrificial Spirit was about to marry the brat before them.
Envy, jealousy, and resentment!
But they had no idea.
This would be an entirely different wedding night.
When someone staggered over to lift the bridal veil,
he suddenly discovered a formation on the bed.
"This...?"
"You little brat, focus your mind and repeat after me!"
As it turned out, what Willow Deity intended to do tonight was...
The sensation was very similar to his previous experience at Hundred Broken Mountains.
Only back then, Shi Xiu had stumbled into that region by sheer accident.
And he hadn't had any particularly direct connection with Red Hair on the other side.
The two of them had gestured wildly at each other, probably without either knowing what the other was saying.
It could only be considered a wondrous experience.
But this time was completely different.
A black sea seemed to appear before him, yet it gave off an intensely oppressive feeling.
Was this...?
The Boundary Sea?
He had read the novel Perfect World before.
He still vaguely remembered its descriptions.
Wasn't this precisely the scene before him?
But their real bodies were still in the bridal chamber. Only their consciousnesses had appeared here.
"As expected, your heavenly Dao treasure body really can connect to this incredible Boundary Sea!"
Shi Xiu had no idea.
This place was tremendously important to the restoration of Willow Deity's strength.
Upon returning to the Boundary Sea, it was as though the vault safeguarding Willow Deity's memories had opened.
Every sight here deeply stirred this ancient Immortal King Giant.
Memories that should have vanished into the river of time began to emerge, faintly, little by little.
But that didn't mean this place was unguarded.
Perhaps sensing the intrusion of an unknown power,
two things resembling enormous red lanterns suddenly appeared in the gray sky.
Judging by their size, they belonged to a colossal being.
Yet he concealed himself in the clouds and darkness, merely glaring fiercely at the two of them.
"Where did you come from, and what do you intend to do?"
That seemingly unremarkable voice appeared to contain boundless oppressive might.
It surged toward them from every direction.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Willow Deity naturally knew that the other party was not someone to provoke.
Endless green light, embodying the meaning of life, appeared around her body.
The light immediately enveloped them both, carrying them back toward the boundless Lower Realm.
Although this visit to the Boundary Sea had been brief, Willow Deity had already gained a great deal.
Many lost memories had been recovered.
Among them were cultivation techniques and recollections of all manner of past events.
Of course, their spiritual journey across the Boundary Sea had also left plenty of traces.
Those mighty beings whose power reached through heaven and earth soon recognized the heavenly Dao treasure body.
Naturally, Ruthless Great Emperor was among them.
But Ruthless Great Emperor was deeply astonished that Shi Xiu could connect to the Upper Realm so soon.
"Hmph, you little brat can already reach The Heavens. Did Willow Deity awaken your heavenly Dao treasure body?"
Of course, Ruthless Great Emperor bore him goodwill.
If Shi Xiu truly grew that quickly, she would presumably only be happy!
But some great figures had far less innocent intentions.
For example, the owner of those two eyes from earlier.
His name was Corpse Immortal Emperor!
But after those eyes closed,
countless beings resembling walking corpses rose in that chaotic gathering place of darkness.
One after another, they turned their gazes toward the Boundary Sea.
"To think someone could probe this place. Who exactly was it?"
"Back then, didn't we sever our own cultivation and unleash the dark turmoil precisely to await a great opportunity?"
"This must be the heavenly Dao treasure body of legend. Impressive indeed. Don't any of you have a plan?"
"Hehe, the heavenly Dao treasure body is a man in this lifetime. Neither you nor I are great beauties. What are we supposed to do?"
"Anyone whose immortal or demonic sect has a surviving lineage, send female disciples down to the mortal world at once and investigate everything!"
Wonderful.
These fellows were old monsters who hadn't stirred in who knew how many years.
They had all been lying dormant.
Only when the Desolate Region Tribulation began would they reveal their true forms, one by one.
Wielding the boundless power of order, they would descend to the Lower Realm to fight over precious medicines.
But this time, these old monsters who had lived for untold ages were all astonished.
To think this heavenly Dao treasure body truly was exactly as the legends described.
Regardless of their cultivation, as long as they could become this man's Dao Companion,
they could reach every great opportunity beneath the heavens, throughout the entire universe!
To think such a person existed in the world.
And so,
from the very next moment,
countless mysterious figures poured out from who knew where.
They began joining the contest for the heavenly Dao treasure body.
Among them were even immortal existences!
