Lu Qing'an's Wedding Day
The day after recruitment ended.
As the first rays of dawn pierced the continuous mountain range of the Eternal Night Sect, Xiao Qingyi stood atop the sect's main peak, his fingertips flicking with spiritual energy as he directed thousands of disciples to hang red silk ribbons, large enough to obscure the mountains, into the void.
"Hurry up! This red silk is woven from celestial silkworm ice and fire silk, and every inch contains excellent spiritual energy. Make sure every node of the formation fits perfectly."
Xiao Qingyi wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although his cultivation was already quite strong, he still dared not slack off in the slightest when preparing for this wedding.
Lu Miaomiao and her children were like a flock of fiery red butterflies, flitting among the busy crowd.
They had their own clever ideas, setting up some little surprises that were clearly geared towards young people.
The silvery laughter eased the tension of the preparations.
Especially Lu Miaomiao, who is using a special edible Spirit Plant to weave auspicious knots under the eaves of every palace.
Anyone who's hungry can take a bite!
She couldn't resist eating a few right now.
Li Cangxuan, Xu Xuanyu, and others also joined in the decorations, trying their best to make the wedding more colorful according to their own preferences.
In just a day and a half, the entire Eternal Night Sect had been completely transformed.
The originally solemn and austere building was now covered with an overwhelming sense of festivity.
The once pitch-black mountain gate is now illuminated by thousands of ever-burning dragon and phoenix red candles, and every floor tile, polished with spiritual liquid, gleams with a warm, jade-like luster.
The Demon God Mother Tree and the Demon God Male Tree inside the mountain gate entrance were both adorned with prayer bells. When the wind blew, the clear sound of the bells spread for miles Fang Yuan, as if the whole world was cheering for this marriage.
At the same time, the news that Lu Qing'an, the sect leader of the Eternal Night Sect, would marry Xue Tianfei spread like wildfire to every corner of the Nine Directions and Ten Domains at an incredible speed.
Whether it's a bustling city of myriad races.
It was still a remote, desolate cultivation wilderness.
This topic dominated all conversations during breaks and after meals.
"Have you heard? The mysterious Sect Master Lu of the Eternal Night Sect is getting married!"
"Xue Tianfei... After that auction, more and more people have come to know her! She is simply recognized as the number one extraordinary woman in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, with terrifying business acumen! Only someone like Sect Master Lu is worthy of her!"
"The Eternal Night Sect has now annexed the Celestial Master Manor and is gaining momentum. This wedding will probably be the grandest wedding banquet we've ever seen in our lives, perhaps even for several lifetimes!"
Countless cultivators abandoned their cultivation and began frantically searching for flying boats that could travel to the Eternal Night Sect to offer their congratulations.
Even without an invitation, just catching a glimpse of this magnificent spectacle, a sight rarely seen in billions of years, outside the mountain gate is an experience etched in one's memory for a lifetime.
At the edge of the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, in an extremely secluded and desolate secret realm.
This place is shrouded in miasma, crisscrossed by spatial rifts, and rarely visited by humans.
Outside a peculiar cave, a team of explorers at the Sovereign Realm were holding their breath and cautiously moving forward.
"Captain, hurry up." A team member lowered his voice, his tone revealing a hint of urgency.
"We'll leave after we've searched this cave. Judging by the dates, Sect Master Lu's wedding is just around the corner; we need to get out of here quickly and head towards the Eternal Night Sect!"
"Yes, that's the most prestigious event in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains! I heard even those ancient monsters who have been in seclusion for hundreds of millions of years have made an appearance! If we could get to know one or two of these seniors, we would benefit from it for the rest of our lives!"
"A once-in-a-millennium spectacle; missing it would truly be a lifelong regret..."
Before the words were finished, everyone's steps suddenly froze, as a faint yet pure pressure that sent shivers down one's spine slowly emanated from the cave.
Clatter!
Clatter!
Clatter!
Light footsteps echoed in the deathly silent cave.
The next moment, a figure emerged from the shadows.
What kind of woman was she?
She wore a minimalist, plain-colored long dress, yet it couldn't conceal her breathtaking curves.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind; her skin was as white as snow, exuding a cool and aloof air, as if she had lived in a deep abyss for a long time.
Her beauty was otherworldly, yet the moment she appeared, it made all the magnificent herbs and rare plants of the surrounding secret realm pale in comparison.
What shocked the exploration team even more was that this seemingly young woman was surrounded by a faint aura of Principle!
Eternal Realm!
Even at the Initial Stage, it was enough to make this group of the Sovereign Realm cultivators feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Greetings, senior!" The captain was the first to react, bowing respectfully with trembling hands.
The woman was Xu Qingying!
Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, swept over the crowd, her voice as cold as the clash of jade. "What you were saying just now... was it true?"
"Absolutely true! It's spread throughout the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains, and the location is the Eternal Night Sect!" the team members replied hastily.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingying's slender fingers trembled slightly.
She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, and after a long while, she slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Okay." She looked up at the sky beyond the secret realm, her expression complex and unreadable. "It's empty inside now. The fortuitous opportunity has run its course. You don't need to go in anymore."
With that, she flickered and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing in the direction of the secret realm's exit.
As Xu Qingying flew through the void, her brows remained slightly furrowed.
This secret realm actually existed long ago, but because of its special nature, it has always been hidden deep within the void.
She had been training in this area some time ago when she discovered this secret realm and obtained an extremely terrifying inheritance fortuitous opportunity within it, forcibly breaking through to the Eternal Realm.
This fortuitous opportunity was so terrifying that even now, when she thinks back on it, she still finds it unbelievable!
I never imagined I'd have such fortuitous opportunity!!!
"Before leaving the Nine Directions and Ten Domains... let's say goodbye to you properly one last time," she murmured.
She still finds it hard to move on from that unforgettable relationship; the bitterness in her heart washes over her soul like a tidal wave.
But she knew even more clearly that Lu Qing'an now had a perfect companion by his side, and she had long since lost the right to stay by his side.
Rather than getting entangled in this mess, it's better to witness his happiness and put an end to this long-standing obsession.
Then, spend half a day with the children, visit your younger siblings, and finally, venture into the wider world.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding day has arrived!
When the first group of guests arrived in the outer void surrounding the Eternal Night Sect, almost everyone stopped breathing at the same instant.
This is no sect; it's practically a dreamlike divine kingdom floating in the universe!
In the deep outer space, the Eternal Night Sect used its extraordinary Law Power to relocate countless mysterious buildings.
Every single star, once cold and indifferent, has now been transformed into a giant, glowing red heart.
Thousands upon thousands of red ribbons stretched across the galaxy, adorning it with enormous celebratory couplets.
The characters on those congratulatory couplets were actually written by the Peak Eternal Realm expert using the fire of rules, shimmering with eternal light in the pitch-black vacuum.
This isn't a wedding; this is reshaping the universe!
When the group arrived at the entrance to the Eternal Night Sect's grand formation, they were utterly shocked by the sight before them.
Countless high-grade Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins, radiating terrifying spiritual pressure, were kneaded, intertwined, and solidified together.
That crystal-clear, precious mineral vein, enough to make top powers fight to the death, was now merely used as decoration, condensing into four great characters that illuminate the past and present in the void.
Happy Wedding!!!
"Hiss!!!"
"That's... Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine? And a high-grade one at that?! They just used it to build characters?!"
"These Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines alone are enough to buy out many powerful forces!"
Gasps of surprise rose and fell among the crowd.
The visitors stood at the entrance, their legs feeling somewhat weak.
They prided themselves on being worldly-wise, but upon seeing such extravagant spending and the use of the starry sky as a canvas, they realized how ridiculously poor they were.
The top ten leaders of the forces, including the Chaos Sage and the Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion, have also arrived.
The Chaos Sage originally wanted to maintain his saintly aloofness, but after seeing the words formed by the four Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Such extravagance..." The Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion gave a wry smile and said to the other leaders of the top powers beside him, "I originally thought the gifts in my storeroom were presentable, but now they seem rather shabby."
One person remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "The grandeur of this wedding... let alone in billions of years, looking at the past and future of the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, I'm afraid no one will ever be able to surpass it."
As the salutes echoed across the starry sky, countless powerful figures fixed their gazes on the gate that led to the pinnacle of happiness and power!
Xiao Qingyi, leading Huang Hao and his welcoming party, walked out of the entrance, smiling at everyone, "Fellow Daoists! Welcome to my good brother's wedding!!!"
He was the biggest fan of the Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei couple, and he had contributed greatly to their relationship. At this moment, his happiness was unmatched by anyone in the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains!
