Chapter 694: Ling’e’s Wave Must Be Impressive!
“Zhao Gongming’s wedding?”
At the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, in the Waterfall Pavilion at the back of the mountain.
Guang Chengzi looked at the invitation in front of him with hesitation.
In the pavilion, nine of the twelve Golden Immortals arrived. Perfected Taiyi and Yu Ding, who were temporarily staying in Chentang Pa.s.s, were absent.
Chi Jingzi stroked his beard and said, “There must be a plan for Jie School’s wedding.”
Wen Shu nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right. How can anyone start the wedding right after the battle ends? Moreover, the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit and Zhao Gongming? Could it be that there is a gap between the outer sect and inner sect of Jie School and they want to use this wedding to make the inner sect and outer sect work together closely? If that’s the case, we should consider it more.”
Beside him, Yun Zhongzi, who was not among the twelve Golden Immortals but was rather active recently, could not help but support his beard and sigh.
He said, “I’ve long heard about Jin Ling and Gongming. They have been Dao companions for many years but they hid it. Perhaps the wedding this time is not full of twists and turns. It’s just to resolve some matters before the Great Tribulation.”
Guang Chengzi said, “There’s no need to consider why the wedding is held. The invitation from Jie School this time is sincere. If we don’t respond, it will embarra.s.s our teacher. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, do you have any countermeasures? If I send someone over, how can I return safely?”
The immortals were stunned by this question.
After the first battle, both sides had completely broken up. At that moment, no matter who went over, it would seem like they were causing trouble for Jie School.
There were many people in Jie School, and there was no lack of people like Perfected Taiyi who were good with their words. If they did not get into a fight, not only would the immortals in the past be in danger, but they would also let others say that Chan School had deliberately messed up.
It was really difficult.
The Dao Attainment Heavenly Venerate smiled and said, “Senior Brother, I have an idea.”
“Tell me.”
“Aren’t there two disciples in our Jade Void Palace who are said to be closely related to the Great Tribulation? One of them is called Jiang Shang, while the other is called Shen Bao. Their cultivation levels are considered pa.s.sable now. Shen Bao has already pa.s.sed the Golden Immortal Tribulation. Jiang Shang…”
The Dao Attainment Heavenly Venerate paused and asked in confusion, “Has he become an immortal?”
“Not yet.” Chi Jingzi could not help but support his forehead with one hand. “I was ordered by my master to guide his cultivation. I’m really stupid. Ahem, I can’t say that I’m stupid. He’s a very special Qi Refinement cultivator. He would not encounter any of them. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of going crazy. If he was not careful, he would probably be able to transcend the tribulation and become an Earth Immortal. It’s really…”
“Haha!”
The younger Great Daoist Master Numinous Treasure clapped and chuckled. Then, he realized that his fellow disciples had solemn expressions. He shrank his neck and stopped laughing.
Isn’t that funny?
Daoist Huang Long said, “I’ll go. I didn’t attack during the battle previously. As long as I’m thick-skinned enough, I won’t agree to anything they say.”
“This is really a tough job.”
“Not necessarily.” Guang Chengzi smiled and said, “Junior Brother Changgeng will naturally go. With Junior Brother Changgeng taking care of him, Junior Brother Huang Long naturally doesn’t have to worry. That’s right. Jiang Shang has another ident.i.ty. When he goes with Junior Brother Huang Long, Jie School will not make things difficult for him.”
Chi Jingzi said, “Shen Bao was a Qi Refinement cultivator of Golden Ao Island in his previous life. He can go with us.”
“In that case, it’s decided.” Guang Chengzi looked serious. “I’ll prepare a generous gift. Junior Brother Huang Long, Junior Brother Shen Bao, and Junior Brother Jiang Shang will go to Jie School to congratulate them.”
The immortals nodded and agreed.
Not long after, Chi Jingzi and Perfected Huang Long went to the back mountain to look for Shen Bao and Jiang Shang.
Shen Bao was cultivating beside the mountain stream. A faint clear aura floated around him. His Dao runes were extremely stable, and there was no demonic aura in his eyebrows. The white hair at his temples added to his immortal-like demeanor.
Professionally, this is called crane hair.
Chi Jingzi said that he was going to Jie School to congratulate them. Shen Bao looked troubled. After all, he knew that a huge battle had happened.
However, after thinking about it, he agreed.
Although it was like taking the initiative to sit on the chopping board, he might be able to play a role for the family of the three sects. He could let everyone remember their old friends.h.i.+p when they fought in the future.
Hence, Chi Jingzi and Perfected Huang Long went to look for Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang was in a corridor beside the Jade Void Palace. He was discussing the Dao with a few immortals who had just entered the Jade Void Palace for hundreds of years. He sat in a corner and closed his eyes to focus. He was thinking about the Dao of Dreams and the method to enter the village.
He was dozing off.
Chi Jingzi and Perfected Huang Long looked at each other and smiled.
The Jade Void Immortals who were discussing the Dao stopped talking. One of them hurriedly used his immortal power to push Jiang Shang. Jiang Shang woke up.
He opened his eyes and was still confused. He subconsciously cupped his hands and smiled. “I once had 32 wives and concubines. Why don’t you tell me about the Great Dao of Desire?”
Chi Jingzi and Perfected Huang Long paused and frowned.
He had found the root that could easily cause Qi Deviation.
It was unknown which Jade Void Immortal laughed. Laughter immediately sounded in the corridor, making the Jade Void Palace feel even happier.
…
Time pa.s.sed quickly. One and a half months pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
The people from Jie School who should have rushed back to the five continents had already rushed over. The news that Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit were about to get married spread throughout the world.
Due to the Great Tribulation, Jie School did not send out invitations widely, in case everyone had an affair with the immortals of Jie School. Ahem, non- Jie School immortals who had ties with them would be in trouble.
Apart from the invitation to Chan School and letting Chan School show off, Jie School’s invitation was given to four factions.
The first was naturally the Heavenly Courts.
The Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, Daoist Duobao, officially sent out an invitation to Taibai Jinxing and Elder Moon to attend the wedding.
Originally, there was an invitation that was prepared for a certain Marshal of the Heavenly Courts. However, Jie School was not sure how many generations the Jade Emperor’s incarnation had been updated. They were afraid that he would be lonely, so they decided not to send it.
Secondly, there was the Immortal Alliance in the trichiliocosm. The Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Immortal Alliance were all invited. Lu Yue was in charge of sending the invitations.
Lu Yue was originally worried that the Deputy Alliance Leaders might not give Jie School a favor. He wanted to create some strange poison on the invitation and place the antidote at the banquet.
However, he ultimately chose to be a good immortal and stopped that professional and crazy thought.
Half of the Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Immortal Alliance agreed to come. Half of them wanted to see the matters in their hands. After all, the Immortal Alliance was one of the top factions in the trichiliocosm. They naturally had to be careful.
The third force to receive the invitation was the neighboring dragon race.
However, the dragon race had just experienced the injuries from Chentang Pa.s.s. They were quite depressed now. They would probably only send a few hundred treasure chests. No important figures would partic.i.p.ate.
The fourth faction was unknown to outsiders.
Zhao Gongming invited the members of the chess room of the Little Qiong Peak, as well as Bai Ze, the mount and main attacker.
When he was eating and drinking at the Black Pool Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, he was naturally very carefree and remembered it clearly. The personal nature of the invitation was rather important.
However, there was a little risk.
Bai Ze did not think it mattered. He was thick-skinned.
The main point was that Ling’e was about to leave the mountain.
Lan Ling’e’s name was clearly written on the invitation card to Zhao Gongming’s wedding. When Ling’e took it from her senior brother, she was a little nervous.
“Senior Brother, can I… go?”
“Go if you want to.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “There’s no need to think about anything else. If you want to go to Brother Gongming’s wedding, I’ll naturally bring you along.”
Ling’e said sensibly, “Then I won’t go, let you have to be distracted and take care of me.”
“Just come along.” Li Changshou raised his hand and pinched Ling’e’s face. She immediately pouted unhappily.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Later, I’ll go to the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace and ask the Grand Supreme Elder to give me a brush and ink. It can be considered a congratulatory gift for Brother Gongming. If anyone causes trouble during Brother Gongming’s wedding, they will be enemies with Ren School. With the Grandmaster of Heaven around, I don’t have to take care of you.”
“Really?”
Ling’e stood on her tiptoes. Her hand was in the shape of a small wing beside her, and she was about to fly.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Just don’t get nervous when the time comes. The Green Touring Palace will definitely gather all the mighty figures.”
“Yes!”
Ling’e agreed and pointed behind Li Changshou.
“Senior Brother, Lingli was sent flying by the bull!”
Li Changshou subconsciously turned his head and saw that the spiritual beast enclosure was quiet. Just as he was about to turn back, he felt someone touch his face gently.
When she turned around completely, Ling’e had already turned into a stream of light and flew to the other side of the Little Qiong Peak…
Ah. How old are you? Why are you still playing such a childish trick?
Li Changshou shook his head and walked towards the Pill Chamber with his hands behind his back. He was thinking about the ultimate improvement of the Flame of Hearts.
On the day of Gongming and Jin Ling’s wedding, Li Changshou changed into a clean Daoist robe and used his original appearance to add a few more seals to reduce his charm.
He had to show his sincerity and not steal his brother’s limelight.
In his previous life, the rule for weddings was that the best man cannot be more handsome than the groom.
Xiong Lingli was guarding the door at home. Youqin Xuanya had a mission to kill demons. She was regretful that she had missed this opportunity.
According to what Li Changshou knew, Aunt-Master Jiu had already rushed to Green Touring Palace in the name of Bai Ze’s disciple…
A chef.
She was really not afraid of being exposed. After all, everyone in the Three Realms knew the name and characteristics of the Saintess of the Heaven Ascension Hall.
He understood the logic.
How can an immortal act like that!?! Ahem, he’s healthy, civilized, and fresh.
“Ling’e?”
Li Changshou shouted. A response came from Ling’e’s straw hut. “Senior Brother, wait for me. I’m not done yet!”
Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses but was rejected by the Chaos Bell’s Dao runes.
The Chaos Bell was very brave.
He waited quietly for a while. Then, he heard two rings. The restrictions set up by the Chaos Bell slowly dissipated. The wooden door of Ling’e’s straw hut was pulled open, and the meticulously dressed little fairy jumped out.
Li Changshou was amused.
Ling’e had put in a lot of effort to dress up. The style of her dress was more common. Her slender long dress was light green in color while her tube top was white in color and embroidered with elegant orchids. A jade belt was tied around her slender waist, making her exquisite figure look delicate.
Her light makeup today was very exquisite. Even her eyelashes were just right.
Her skin was fair and her eyes were beautiful.
Her light lips were slightly fragrant, and her black hair cascaded elegantly down her back.
The horizontal jade hairpin was naturally a gift from Sister Yun Xiao while the jade pendant on her neck was from Li Changshou.
When she saw Li Changshou, she first made a face and then lowered her head while moving closer to him, taking one small step at a time.
She answered shyly.
Li Changshou chuckled and said warmly, “I’m riding a cloud.”
“Yes.” Ling’e agreed and followed behind Li Changshou. She held a small flower basket in her hand, which was naturally a congratulatory gift for Jin Ling.
They left the Little Qiong Peak and the Grand White Palace. Along the way, they naturally attracted the attention of many immortals.
Those with insufficient cultivation levels naturally could not see anything.
However, those with higher cultivation levels looked at Ling’e and their expressions changed. Then, they looked at Li Changshou in admiration. Their Dao hearts trembled.
Could this be Taibai Jinxing’s foundation? I’m afraid.
After leaving the Heavenly Gate, Li Changshou calculated the time and felt that it was not good for them to go a little later. Hence, he pointed in front of him.
The universe collapsed inward layer by layer and turned into a seven-colored stream of light. At the end of it was the sky of Golden Ao Island. One could see immortal light flowing slowly outside, but it was unknown how many immortals had gathered.
This mystical ability was actually a move that Suiren had used.
Due to Li Changshou’s hard work in studying escape techniques, he could be considered to be lacking in the Dao of the universe. At that time, he took a look and pondered. He probably knew it.
That was also considered an escape technique. He named it—Open Door Escape.
It could be said that he had a cultural background that was comparable to his poetic nature.
As soon as the two of them arrived, those on the two regions below Golden Ao Island immediately looked over.
At that moment, there were four huge sword shadows floating in the sky of Golden Ao Island. The four sword shadows were slowly revolving around the periphery of Golden Ao Island. They were naturally the projections of the four Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng Swords.
Above Golden Ao Island, there was a cloud gate and a continuous palace. Many guests had gathered in the Green Touring Palace.
The venue of the wedding was divided into the inner and outer venue. The top and bottom were divided neatly.
As soon as Li Changshou and Ling’e appeared, Zhao Gongming, who was guarding near the Cloud Gate, was shocked.
He was dressed in a joyous robe. He opened his arms and welcomed them. He laughed loudly.
“Ahahahaha! I’ve waited so long!”
Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled. “Congratulations, Brother! You and Senior Sister Jin Ling are finally married!”
Zhao Gongming kept laughing. He controlled his tone and shouted, “Hahaha! It’s all thanks to you, Brother. It’s all thanks to your gift that we can become happy today~”
Li Changshou was really amused by Zhao Gongming. The latter winked. After the two of them approached, they faced each other and laughed with indescribable joy.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Ling’e, quickly… come… Uh.”
Ling’e blinked and was a little confused by Zhao Gongming’s abnormality. However, she still bowed and shouted softly, “Congratulations to Senior Brother Gongming and Senior Sister Jin Ling for becoming Dao companions. You are blessed and beautiful.”
“Hahaha!”
Zhao Gongming quickly suppressed his abnormality. He looked at Ling’e with mixed emotions and smiled.
“Thank you, thank you. Quick, come in!”
At that moment, Zhao Gongming brought his junior brothers and junior sisters into the Green Touring Palace. A large number of immortals took the initiative to welcome them. Apart from the disciples of Jie School, there were also guests who came to congratulate them.
However, when the guests took a closer look, they were stunned at first. Then, they were afraid and looked at Ling’e with envy.
Ling’e was a little puzzled. She pulled the corner of her senior brother’s s.h.i.+rt and moved closer to him.
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong? Why is everyone looking at me strangely?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
“Put away the little bell hanging on your waist first.”
“Ah, when did Sister Zhong follow me out!?!”
The Chaos Bell emitted a spiritual perception and giggled in Ling’e’s heart.
At that moment, it was no longer appropriate for Ling’e to hide the “bell” on her waist. Instead, she might as well reveal it openly.
She was just the Little Sister of the Chaos Bell, Cleansing Bell. She did not have the pressure of not having her Dao match her treasure.
Just as he was about to enter the Green Touring Palace’s main hall, he heard a chuckle. Yun Xiao brought Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao to welcome him on a cloud.
Yun Xiao, who rarely dressed up, had also done fine makeup today. However, her makeup was not to highlight her beauty. Instead, it was to conceal her usual cold temperament and make herself more “tacky” so that she could avoid stealing the limelight from her sister-in-law.
Even so, she was still dazzling. After being a little more lively, people could not look away.
The red hairpin swayed gently.
Yun Xiao bowed slightly to Li Changshou and said softly, “I didn’t go out to welcome you.”
Li Changshou changed his Dao salute and smiled. “It’s good that we can meet.”
Yun Xiao smiled and nodded at Li Changshou. She took the initiative to pull Ling’e to the side.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao also bowed and called him brother-in-law sweetly. Li Changshou cupped his hands and returned the greeting. He looked at Zhao Gongming and smiled.
When the Three Xiao Immortals invited Ling’e away, a large number of immortals immediately rushed over.
Li Changshou returned the greetings one by one. He did not put on any airs. No matter who came, he could make small talk. He considered himself Zhao Gongming’s brother and kept thanking the guests.
He had done enough for Brother Zhao.
A Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance jeered, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, when is your wedding?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. It depends on when the Jade Emperor will approve my leave.”
In the corner beside Elder Moon, the eyes of a general of the Heavenly Courts, who was sitting beside him, lit up. He was about to speak when he was covered by immortal power from an unknown source. He widened his eyes and swept his surroundings.
In another corner, Perfected Huang Long looked at Ling’e’s group of female immortals from time to time and saw the small bell hanging on her waist.
He could not help but lower his head and sigh. He almost cried.
This was too much of a blow to the dragon!
At that moment, he suddenly heard immortal music and saw hundreds of flowers dancing. The fairies of the Jie School led Ling’e out of the hall.
Qiong Xiao said, “My Senior Sister Jin Ling has arrived!”
Zhao Gongming subconsciously grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. His lips trembled. “What… what should we do?”
“What else can we do! Go quickly! Help me from both sides!”
Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He called Lu Yue, Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, the Demon King, Yang Sen, and the other immortals of Jie School forward and pushed Zhao Gongming out.
The male immortals pushed Zhao Gongming out of the hall.
The female immortals led the way outside the hall and let the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit move forward.
The two of them naturally attracted each other and b.u.mped into each other. Zhao Gongming’s face turned red and he hugged the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit.
Lu Yue laughed loudly from behind. The immortals immediately laughed and joked around. They congratulated and teased continuously. The cheers from Golden Ao Island sounded from afar, making the place even more lively.
Daoist Duobao appeared at the right time. He cleared his throat and shouted,
“The wedding begins! Master!”
The immortals hurriedly stopped laughing and bowed to the platform in the hall.
