Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1100: Chapter 667: Wedding Candles_2

Today, the great wedding of the Eastern Emperor Taoist has invited all the major sacred places and ancient dynasties, except the Jiang Clan was not invited, for they would not attend anyway. How arrogant the Eastern Emperor Clan is, they certainly wouldn’t demean themselves by approaching the indifferent Jiang Clan.

But now…

“It really is Jiang Lingyun!”

“The Taoist himself has come, what does he intend to do?”

“Could it be that the Jiang Clan wants to resolve their hostilities with the Eastern Emperor Clan?”

“Impossible, the millennia-old feud between the two clans has turned into deep-seated hatred. How could it be resolved so easily?”

“It’s not necessarily impossible, with the threat of chaos, if the two clans continue their disputes, it will only lead to mutual destruction. It might be better to cease fighting for now, focus on facing the calamity, and talk about it after surviving the dark chaos.”

“Exactly because of the threat of chaos, the disputes between the two clans have become even more intense. After all, resources are limited, everyone needs them, if you take more, I have less. This directly affects our strength and the dangers we face during the calamity. How could the two clans cease fighting?”

“What cease fire? Even though Jiang Lingyun is neither the saint lord of the Jiang Clan nor a True Immortal, he is just a Taoist. Although his status is high and his potential is great, he surely can’t make such decisions for the Jiang Clan, can he?”

“Rumor has it that this Jiang Clan Taoist and the Eastern Emperor Taoist admire each other. Despite the deep-seated hatred between their clans, they consider each other confidants and their friendship is deep. It’s hard to say whether this is true or not.”

“More than just confidants, both were devoted to arduous cultivation before. They have practiced for thousands of years, remaining alone, unattainable by countless fairies and goddesses, leaving many deeply heartbroken. There are rumors that their relationship is more than just confidants, but is…”

“Be cautious with your words!”

“Don’t speak nonsense, the Eastern Emperor Taoist is getting married to the Yousu Heavenly Girl, how can such rumors be spread?”

“That Eastern Emperor Taoist is indeed dispelling rumors with his actions, but this Jiang Lingyun… his appearance today might just make things worse!”

“Who knows how many rumors will circulate after today!”

…

As Jiang Lingyun stepped into the hall, the attendees exchanged divine senses, discussing in whispers, their conversations quite intriguing.

Yet, Jiang Lingyun seemed utterly unconcerned, leading several members of the Jiang Clan to their seats, then quietly looking towards the wedding hall, waiting in silence.

“Brother…”

“Taoist…”

Seeing his demeanor, and feeling the surrounding gazes, the accompanying members of the Jiang Clan had burning cheeks but could do nothing about it, forcefully sitting through it.

In such a manner, after a short while.

“The newlyweds arrive!”

A voice announced, and under the attention of thousands, a figure approached the front of the hall. It was Eastern Emperor Haoyue.

He was clad in a red robe, all splendid and festive, yet without any trace of vulgarity, instead, it even highlighted his spirited and noble demeanor. Gracefully, he arrived at the front of the hall, raising a cup to toast the full hall of guests.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending my wedding. Haoyue is extremely honored and has nothing to repay your kindness, except for this cup, as a small token of my gratitude.”

After speaking, he toasted the crowd.

“The Taoist is too polite!”

The guests gratefully responded to the toast, rising from their seats to return the gesture.

Jiang Lingyun was also among them, standing up, and lifting his cup, he made a distant toast to Eastern Emperor Haoyue.

Eastern Emperor Haoyue chuckled lightly, raising his cup and drank it all, then turned and walked back toward the hall.

Then, a person appeared, leading a red bridal veil, who was a Seven Calamity Void Immortal from the Su clan.

Following the red veil, a person gently walked in, wearing a phoenix crown and draped in a rosy bridal veil. Although her face and features were not visible, she still appeared stunning.

It was Su You!

The Tribulation Realm Void Immortal of Su clan led her forward, steadily approaching the wedding hall, then handed the red veil to Eastern Emperor Haoyue.

Eastern Emperor Haoyue took the red veil, walked with her to the front of the hall, then someone beside started chanting the wedding rites.

“First bow to heaven and earth!”

Eastern Emperor Haoyue turned around, Su You followed, and both bowed outside the hall.

Though they were of the Primordial Imperial Clan, the traditions had evolved somewhat over time, making this union ceremony more aligned with popular practices.

“Second bow to the high hall!”

After bowing to heaven and earth, the two turned again, facing the high hall to bow.

Up in the high hall, the two were seated, the light of red candles illuminating their stunning appearances—indeed, two exceptional beauties.

Ancestral Fox of Su clan!

Eastern Emperor, the East Lord!

The two great True Immortals!

Su clan belongs to the Ancient Fox Clan, which has repeatedly faced calamities amidst chaos, surviving until today with only one True Immortal, the Ancestral Fox.

Su You, the Fox Clan Celestial Maiden, had a somewhat tragic background. Since the Su clan mostly saw fathers leave while mothers stayed, the status of males was extremely low, and after birth, daughters were not raised by their mothers but were communally reared by the Fox Clan. Thus, today, there were no parents on this high hall, only the Ancestral Fox came personally.

It was the same for Eastern Emperor Haoyue; his father had perished in a calamity before his birth, and although his mother had the support of the family thanks to her son, she also failed to pass through the calamity. Thus, today on the high hall, there was only his adoptive mother, the East Lord.

The two distinguished guests received the bowing couple, their faces smiling, a stark contrast from their usual cool demeanors.

“Spouses bow to each other!”

“The ceremony is complete!”

After bowing to heaven and earth and the high hall, the two faced each other for a bow, thus completing all.

“Escort to the bridal chamber!”

Amid joyous laughter, Eastern Emperor Haoyue held the red veil, leading Su You towards the bridal chamber, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

“Eastern Emperor Taoist!”

“Yousu Heavenly Girl!”

“Truly a match made in heaven, created by fate!”

Upon seeing this, the crowd first sighed in awe, then their eyes couldn’t help but shift towards Jiang Lingyun.

They saw Jiang Lingyun holding a wine cup, looking down silently, and finally downing the wine in one gulp, then he stood up and left the seat.

“Let’s go!”

“Taoist?”

“Brother?”

Several people from the Jiang Clan, seeing this, hurriedly stood up and followed him, leaving together.

Leaving the crowd behind looking at each other with strange expressions.

“This…”

“It seems to be unrequited love!”

“Is the flower willing but the water heartless?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

“The Clan Saint Jiang hearing this will probably be fuming with rage.”

“That Eastern Emperor Taoist just now didn’t even glance at him and treated him like an ordinary guest; it seems those rumors of close friendship are false.”

“Who said that the Eastern Emperor Taoist isn’t fond of women, his footsteps were disguised, but still slightly chaotic, evidently excited.”

“This Jiang Clan Taoist must be deeply hurt…”

The crowd’s divine senses intermingled, spreading rumors all around, enjoying the spectacle without fearing the mess.

But no matter what, with True Immortal present, nothing could change.

Eastern Emperor Haoyue led Yousu You, adorned in red, into the meticulously decorated bridal chamber.

Speaking of the bridal chamber, it actually is a Cave Mansion, away from all the noise, forbidding outsiders entry.

As the two stepped into the Cave Mansion, behind them, Spirit Light flickered, and layers of barriers activated, sealing them from the outside world.

Then, within the Cave Mansion, in the bridal room.

“Son!”

“Your Majesty!”

Eastern Emperor Haoyue quickly stepped forward, his body flickering with spirit light, changing his posture in a blink of an eye, from a red robe to bridal attire.

Yousu You also lifted her red veil, and approached with a mischievous smile, looking teasingly at the person long-awaited in the room.

Miss Xin Shisi who had returned to her original self dared to come forward but then stopped, bowing to Meng Fanying beside Xu Yang: “Miss Xin Shisi pays respects to sister!”

“Get up!”

Meng Fanying looked at her, her expression somewhat complex, but she still stepped forward and helped her up.

Seeing this, Yousu You followed suit, stepping forward and giving a graceful bow: “You’er also pays respect to sister.”

Her words were soft, yet there was a biting sarcasm in her tone.

“Stop causing trouble!”

Meng Fanying, facing her old adversary, didn’t hold back and directly rolled her eyes in response.

Yousu You, hit by the eye-roll, immediately made a pitiful face, turning towards Xu Yang plaintively: “Your Majesty, see how the main wife bullies your concubine!”

Xu Yang just smiled without indulging her antics, simply waving his sleeve, spirit light flashed by, and the bridal chamber transformed into the wedding hall, his casual clothes turning into red robes.

Now looking at the trio, their figures unchanged but their garments slightly altered, all were arrayed in phoenix crowns and rosy clouds robes, yet each carried a different flair.

Meng Fanying had a cold elegance; even in red robes and decked in matching finery, she seemed unreachable, as if ready to ascend any moment, yet when she met his gaze, she was instantly grounded, her eyes brimming with deep affection, relentless and unabating.

Yousu You, always mischievous and quirky, but now uncharacteristically serious, seemed somewhat panicky, uncertain if she was more fox or rabbit, yet her gaze towards him was equally intense, mixing past memories with a calm reassurance.

Miss Xin Shisi, tender as water, even if joined by past ties, still stirred deeply now, her eyes unable to conceal the thrill and excitement, fixating on him even forgetting the others beside her.

Matters of love are always selfish, uniquely personal.

The three women were no exception, each with their pride; by now, willing to be here, marrying together, serving one husband, was borne out of profound love, not wishing any difficulty for him, willing to compromise.

Facing the divergence teary-eyed, it’s hardest to decline the grace of the beloved!

However, at this moment, as their gazes met and eyes locked, there was a mutual understanding.

The trio stood side by side, facing Xu Yang, synchronously bowing and changing their address.

“Husband!”

“Husband!”

“Husband!”

“My ladies!!!”

Xu Yang chuckled lightly, stepping forward, meeting their gazes, raised his cup in this bridal chamber under the matrimonial candles and intertwined in a toast.

A meeting of kindred spirits in the bridal chamber, a moment of Spring evening worth a thousand gold!

The intensity of their mingling needs no further words.
