I... Got Married?

Upon entering the temple, one feels as if the air is filled with Immortal Spirit Qi, which is refreshing and invigorating. Even someone with the Body of Immortals and Gods of Yu Tunzhou feels a sense of benefit from it.

He withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself that this was the legendary Spirit Root of heaven and earth, even surpassing the Peach of Immortality.

To be precise, it takes the entire Peach of Immortality Garden combined to be as famous as this Ginseng Fruit Tree.

If I keep watching, I'm afraid I'll start drooling.

Although Huntian is Great Sage, Yu Tunzhou guessed that this guy was born into the Demon Race, and he probably hadn't even smelled the Ginseng Fruit, let alone eaten it.

Several breaths passed, and there was still no response from the temple. Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but feel puzzled. Could it be that Great Immortal Zhenyuan was not in the temple?

Finally, a young boy arrived late from the depths of the Daoist temple, clutching a medicine hoe in his hand.

Yu Tunzhou glanced at it and smiled, "Is it the Qingfeng or the Mingyue?"

The boy looked puzzled and asked, "I am Qingfeng, may I ask who you are?"

"This humble Daoist, Xuandu, is a disciple of the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue and has come to your esteemed land to pay my respects to the Great Immortal Zhenyuan."

Yu Tunzhou thought to himself, "Qingfeng Mingyue may look like children, but they are actually over a thousand years old. Their cultivation level is not low. How could they not have heard the introduction when I entered the temple and come to ask again?"

Qingfeng looked stunned and asked in confusion, "Are you Xuandu?"

Yu Tunzhou remained calm and smiled, "Is there anyone who would dare to visit your esteemed temple and impersonate me before the Great Immortal Zhenyuan?"

But Qingfeng shook his head, his expression showing not only no less doubt, but even more intense confusion. He said in a clear voice, "Xuandu, isn't today your joyous occasion? Why have you come to the temple?"

Yu Tunzhou looked astonished and exclaimed, "My joyous day?"

"Yes!"

Qingfeng scratched his head and said, "Master accepted Laojun's invitation to go to Tushita Heaven to attend your wedding. He's not in the temple now, but how come, how come—"

Qingfeng was completely bewildered. Was the master joking with him?

Even if it's a joke, who jokes about something like this?

If it weren't for the fact that no ordinary person could break into Five Villages Temple, and given the special status of this person, if someone were to impersonate them, Laojun would likely find out immediately and then punish them.

He was starting to suspect the other person was a scammer!

Yu Tunzhou's expression shifted, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Zhenyuanzi went to Tushita Heaven to attend Xuandu's wedding?

Which Xuandu?

What exactly is this point in time?

"Qingfeng."

Yu Tunzhou suppressed his turbulent thoughts and asked in a deep voice, "Did the Great Immortal Zhenyuan mention who the other party is?"

Qingfeng thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "No, Master only said that Laojun himself presided over the ceremony. The six rites have already been performed: betrothal, name inquiry, auspicious date selection, and gift presentation. Only the wedding ceremony is missing."

Yu Tunzhou's thoughts were churning uncontrollably.

The Six Rites are ancient marriage rites, encompassing the proposal, matching birth dates and times, sending betrothal gifts, and finally, the wedding ceremony.

The first step, "Nazheng," involves sending betrothal gifts, while the next step, "Qinying," is the core part—welcoming the bride.

A person who can represent Xuandu in proposing marriage, matching birth dates, and even giving gifts----

Only Laojun!

Qingfeng looked over curiously. "Daoist Master, you got married yourself, didn't you know even now?"

He blinked. It was completely unknown to him that Xuandu was getting married, yet he came to visit their Five Villages Temple. If this got out, it would probably shock countless people!

It's a pity Mingyue went to the banquet with the master, otherwise he would have called Mingyue over to eat melon seeds immediately!

Yu Tunzhou felt heavy-hearted and looked up at the sky.

He had only intended to visit the Great Immortal Zhenyuan on this trip, but unexpectedly, instead of meeting him, he heard such shocking news from the immortal's attendant.

Laojun arranged a marriage for himself and even invited a powerful Divine Ability like Zhenyuanzi to a banquet to witness it.

He looked up at the sky, a variety of thoughts swirling in his mind.

I wonder if the teacher noticed that he had returned to the present moment.

Suddenly, Yu Tunzhou realized that the blessing from the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic had reached its time limit, and he was about to return to his original point in time.

He strained to look out, as if trying to pierce through layers of Void to see what the wedding banquet in the Tushita Heaven looked like, unwilling to go back just like that.

In a daze, Yu Tunzhou felt his vision blur, as if he had stepped into a fairyland. He saw thousands of immortals gathered all around him, and the atmosphere was festive and noisy.

Amidst swirling auspicious clouds and dangling pearls, a female immortal draped in a rosy robe sat gracefully on a white jade platform, her face veiled, exuding a cool and ethereal aura, obscuring her features.

Yu Tunzhou wanted to see more clearly, but he felt a strong force pulling him backward.

Finally, he was removed from this world.

"Daoist Master---- Xuandu Master Xuandu----"

A startled cry came from Qingfeng.

But the Yu Tunzhou had already vanished from this world.

Deep within the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

A mountain, as large as a star, stretches across the void, and countless creatures depend on it for survival and reproduction.

At the very top of the mountain stood an unnamed Daoist temple.

This day.

A young man in Daoist robes suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of his secluded cultivation area. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance with a slight raised eyebrow and a hint of reminiscence in his expression.

The True Immortal responsible for overseeing the Daoist temple year-round and protecting all living beings within its borders rushed over and respectfully asked, "Ancestor Qingfeng, why did you emerge from seclusion ahead of schedule?"

The Daoist-clad man raised his head, gazing at the void beyond heaven and earth, his eyes filled with reminiscence. He chuckled softly as he recounted a past event, "I have recalled a long-forgotten memory."

"Back then, the master took Mingyue to attend that person's wedding. After they returned, Mingyue boasted to me about how grand the wedding was, with thousands of immortals gathered there."

"But when I told him that the groom had appeared at Five Villages Temple, Mingyue just rolled her eyes and said that he had always been in Tushita Heaven, how could he possibly be at Five Villages Temple? I must have been fooled."

"I went to the master and told him about it, but he just smiled slightly, neither saying that the one was real nor that the one was fake. So Mingyue and I argued for many years, until later when we met that one again—"

The True Immortal listened respectfully from the side, knowing that Ancestor Qingfeng was thinking of his ancestor and his former fellow disciples.

pity----

The young man in Daoist robes sighed softly, "I too have reached the age of reminiscing about the past."

Before the True Immortal could speak, he flicked his sleeve and said calmly, "Who is in charge of the Five Villages Temple now?"

The True Immortal replied, "It is the Ginseng Fruit spirit that the Ancestor enlightened years ago, now named Lü Qingxuan. This spirit is exceptionally gifted and favored by Heaven and Earth. It is said that he has already stepped into the Golden Immortal, and has not tarnished the prestige of Five Villages Temple, but—"

"Just what?"

The True Immortal hesitated and said, "This person has been associating with the Alliance of Immortals for many years, and his reputation is not very good, which has somewhat tarnished the temple's reputation."

"It's alright," the young man in Daoist robes said calmly. "The master's intention back then was to ensure that the lineage of Five Villages Temple was cut off in the open in this world."

"If Lü Qingxuan doesn't die, wouldn't it be me who dies?"

The young man in Daoist robes waved his sleeve, turned, and walked into the temple, leaving behind only the words: "I am continuing my seclusion. Remember, come and awaken me when the world undergoes a great change."

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Ancestor!"

Yu Tunzhou opens its eyes.

The remains of an immortal suddenly came into view.

He returned to the present world and sat cross-legged on the jade platform.

After the restoration of the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic, the incomplete "Universe in the Sleeve Divine Ability" has been restored to its original form.

But Yu Tunzhou had no interest in trying to understand.

He took a deep breath, his mind still seemingly lingering on that past.

The six rites, following the steps of betrothal, name inquiry, auspicious date selection, and gift presentation, are only missing the final step: the wedding ceremony.

"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong?"

Huntian asked curiously.

It already knew that Yu Tunzhou possessed the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic Tendon Changing Classic) and could use it to communicate with the past; it had just sensed that Yu Tunzhou's Primordial Spirit had entered a wondrous realm.

It had previously paid attention to a similar situation, which was when Yu Tunzhou went to the Jade Void Palace to restore the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.

"Fellow Daoist, did you meet that Great Immortal Zhenyuan?"

When talking about this person, Huntian's tone revealed a certain respect.

This person is truly a top-tier master of supernatural Divine Ability below the Sect Master Sage, and is also the ancestor of all Earth Immortal in the world. He has good relations with saints from various sects.

Even at its peak, its strength and status were far inferior to this person's.

Yu Tunzhou sighed softly, "I didn't see Zhenyuanzi this time, but instead heard something extremely horrifying."

"What's up?"

"I am married."

"----?"

Huntian was completely bewildered.

After hearing Yu Tunzhou describe the matter in detail, Huntian Chi Qi scratched his head, unsure of how to respond.

In its view----

This Xuandu is shrouded in mystery!

The biggest question is that I, who was active in the late Primordial Era, had never heard of the name "Grand Dharma Master Xuandu"!

However, both Guangchengzi's attitude and the reactions of the various Dao Lord of Heavenly Court indicate that the Grand Dharma Master Xuandu did indeed exist in the ancient times.

It initially speculated that Laojun had employed a method similar to causing an effect before the cause, as seen in his later appointment of Xuandu as his first disciple.

But now it seems the situation is not so simple.

Assuming that such a person truly existed in ancient times, but I have never heard of him, either the name Xuandu had become a taboo during my active era, or it was a situation similar to Haotian, where the relevant memories were erased by him.

The latter is unlikely; the former is the most probable.

If the name Xuandu was taboo in ancient times----

The one who accomplished this must be Laojun!

Could it be that someone is being deceived?

While Huntian was pondering, Yu Tunzhou had already given up speculating about the wedding.

Unsurprisingly, this was arranged by the teacher.

He calmed himself down, knowing that he would eventually find out.

I just don't know whose daughter the teacher found for himself.

Could this be a political marriage?

In the primordial era, who would be qualified, and most likely, to form a marriage alliance with the Daode Lineage? Could it be—a female immortal under the command of the Nüwa?

The lineage of Grand Dharma Master Xuandu is related to the Nüwa; in legend, he was among the first Human Race created by Nüwa.

Yu Tunzhou shook his head and turned his attention to the Universe in the Sleeve.

This great Divine Ability was restored to its original form through the restoration of the Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic.

Using this method, it shouldn't be difficult for Han Wuj iu to find the hidden door.

A thought suddenly occurred to him, and the method of Divine Ability powers immediately came to mind.

He closed his eyes and began to cultivate this renowned and powerful divine Divine Ability.

Our journey to the Human Emperor's Temporary Palace to confront Xue Wuya; we cannot afford to miss any opportunity to improve our combat strength!

Unfortunately, time was limited.

Yu Tunzhou opened his eyes after only one day of cultivation, summoned Han Wuj iu, and prepared to depart.

In just one day, he had only scratched the surface of this great Divine Ability and could not yet master it well; he would have to continue on his journey.

I've studied it.

When Han Wuj iu arrived, Yu Tunzhou was generous and directly transmitted the complete method into his Primordial Spirit.

Han Wuj iu overjoyed, thinking that this person had found the location of the secret door.

But then, he froze, exclaiming, "This—this is—the complete ' Universe in the Sleeve' Great Divine Ability?!"

Yu Tunzhou nodded. "You should be able to find the hidden door by comparing it yourself."

Then, he used his Primordial Spirit to transmit a message to the Luo Household, and with a wave of his hand, he stored the immortal's remains in his sleeve.

He has now entered the rudimentary stage of the Universe in the Sleeve, and can already combine it with his Inner Heaven and Earth to temporarily create Void to store items.

Han Wuj iu remained standing there, frozen in place.

He racked his brains but never imagined that what Yu Tunzhou would ultimately give him would be the complete method of "Universe in the Sleeve"!

How could this person possess a complete cultivation method?

If this person already possessed the complete Universe in the Sleeve, why would they need to ask him for it?

Surely, this person couldn't have mended the incomplete hidden Universe in the Sleeve overnight, could they?

This is utterly absurd!

He racked his brains, but the only thing he could think of was that this person had been testing him earlier.

"Set off!"

Yu Tunzhou was all ready, and his gaze was fixed on the direction of the Northern Sea Forest.

Besides Han Wuj iu, the Youyin Rogue Person, who wields the Soul-Binding Chain, is also on this trip.

Furthermore, having already established the rudiments of the Dharma Domain and wielding the Vajra Bracelet—

Faced with such a formidable force, his current concern was not whether he could fight Xue Wuya, but rather how to prevent Xue Wuya from escaping!

After all, this beast is extremely difficult to kill!

At the Xuanbei Commandery.

A figure suddenly looked up and witnessed two streaks of light flash across the sky, heading north, and disappearing in an instant.

The man's eyes flickered; based on the aura emanating from it, he guessed that it was most likely Yu Tunzhou.

The other person's aura was powerful, but he was definitely not Jiang Wenxuan; he should be at the Grandmaster level.

Just as An Ruyu of the Incense-Smelling Cult had said, she really did lure Yu Tunzhou away from Jiang Wenxuan.

Even with a Grandmaster by his side, he is no match for the Dao Lord!

The man smiled, turned, and quickly walked away.

Now that the Yu Tunzhou, according to the Daoist Master's instructions, they should proceed with their original plan and make preparations in advance.

In the future, this Northern Plains is destined to belong to their Blood River Dao!

In the Xuanbei Commandery, there is a restaurant high up.

Guo Baisheng, the patriarch of the Jinyang Guo Household, frowned deeply. Sitting opposite him were representatives from several other families.

Nowadays, many representatives of prominent Aristocratic Clan are staying in the city, just to catch a glimpse of Yu Tunzhou.

But for a month, that person has not shown up at all.

Representing Yu Tunzhou in receiving all parties was an old acquaintance of each family, Liu Qiandao from the Northern Dark Sea Faction!

In the past, various companies had grasped Northern Dark Sea's bottom line that it would never back down, and tried to negotiate the profit distribution of the business lines with them.

But now, the roles have been completely reversed, and Liu Qiandao is even more ruthless and unreasonable!

Several families have already been humiliated by him with the most cutting words, wishing they could leave on the spot, but in the end they had to stay because of their Lineage and continue to endure the humiliation!

Guo Baisheng and other representatives witnessed these scenes, and felt nothing but anger and sorrow.

A month ago, various families persuaded the Zhaoyang Li Household to step forward and try to find out the other party's attitude.

When Li Yuanming from the Li Household returned from his visit, instead of a sense of relief, everyone received devastating news.

Yu Tunzhou is actually planning to have various factions within the Northern Dark Sea Faction replace the Northern Plains Aristocratic Clan's position and rule!

This is a blatant attempt to undermine the very foundation of the problem!

Amidst their shock and anger, they discovered that they had no way to retaliate or resist.

Their greatest asset against the Yu Tunzhou had been completely shattered with the news of the end of the Northern Sea battle.

This is also why Guo Baisheng and others appeared here.

At this moment, even if they were unwilling, they had to come here and show Yu Tunzhou the attitude of their Lineage bowing down.

But no matter how much they pleaded, they were unable to meet Yu Tunzhou in person.

Guo Baisheng felt troubled and heavy-hearted, and today he accepted the invitations from several other representatives.

During the banquet, he overheard some news from several people that was enough to shake the entire Northern Plains: "You actually cooperated with the Blood River Dao?" Guo Baisheng's face turned ugly.

Although he resented Yu Tunzhou's forceful pressure, the Blood River Dao was Six Paths of Evil and Demons. Could cooperating with them really end well?

A representative of one of the Lineage sneered, "This Yu Tunzhou, without a word of disagreement, wants to expel us, a clan that has been guarding our territory for thousands of years, from our fiefdom. Even the Six Paths of Evil and Demons wouldn't do such a thing!"

Guo Baisheng's expression was grim, but he remained silent.

The other person said slowly, "Patriarch Guo Household, there's no need to worry. Our cooperation with the Blood River Dao Blood River Dao is contingent on Yu Tunzhou dying at their hands first. We just need to wait and see."

Guo Baisheng asked in a deep voice, "Who was the Dao Lord Xue Wuya who made the move?"

"Indeed, this one has already reached the Dharma Aspect. Now, I'm afraid only Dharma Aspect can kill this brat!" the man said in a deep voice.

Guo Baisheng's mind raced. Although these people were dealing with a tiger for its skin, they were right about one thing: even if Blood River Dao was one of the Six Paths of Evil and Demons, it was impossible for them to be driven out of their fiefdom just because of a disagreement!

Seeing that Guo Baisheng was already interested, one of them smiled and said, "Even if the Blood River Dao rules the Northern Plains, it still needs the help of the Aristocratic Clan like us to manage it. What is Patriarch Guo Household still hesitating about?"

Guo Baisheng took a deep breath and asked, "What does Blood River Dao want?"

"They need disciples," they need a large amount of martial arts blood to rebuild the Blood River.

"Blood?" Guo Baisheng frowned. "Before Yu Tunzhou died, my Jinyang Guo Household could only provide them with some death row inmates at most."

One of them chuckled and said, "Brother Guo is indeed clever. Using death row inmates is the best way to deal with it, even if it's discovered later. If there aren't enough people, we can just arrest more. Anyway, the world has no shortage of those damned lowly people."

The group exchanged smiles.

They said he was a death row inmate----

But who deserves to die and who doesn't—isn't that up to them to decide?
