A Dowry of Crimson Spanning Billions of Miles, a Wedding Escort That Shocked All
A Dowry of Crimson Spanning Billions of Miles, a Wedding Escort That Shocked All
The central region of the Beyond, where the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty was located.
Grand and boundless palaces and halls, resplendent in gold and jade, magnificent and imposing, stood in clusters throughout the divine domain.
Mystic Mountains and ancient peaks were scattered like stars across a chessboard, vast and immense, their slopes wreathed in rosy clouds.
Divine light glittered, celestial mist curled and coiled—an utterly sacred sight, as if an ancient heavenly palace had fallen into the mortal world.
Numerous knights with powerful auras rode ferocious beasts whose blood energy surged to the heavens, patrolling between heaven and earth.
Bifang, Pixiu, Zhu Yan... many ferocious beasts of ancient bloodlines raised their heads to the sky and let out terrifying roars, their colossal figures blotting out the sun as they patrolled among the islands and mountain ranges of the Divine City, their pressure like a prison, incomparably dreadful.
As the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, vaguely regarded as the foremost Celestial Dynasty of the Beyond, its foundation far exceeded what the world could imagine. The vastness and mystery of this place was practically like a small world unto itself.
Beyond the Divine City, there was likewise a vast and awe-inspiring sight.
Now, as the wedding day of Empress Yue Mingkong and Changge drew near, great batches of cross-domain ancient warships tore through space, rushing over from all directions.
Almost every day, the rumbling of the universe could be heard between heaven and earth, as countless chariots and flying vessels crushed through the void, descending upon this place with tremendous momentum.
Terrifying figures, bringing many attendants and followers, strode down, their forms blurred and wreathed in the light of laws, stepping into the Divine City.
Without a doubt, the marriage of Changge and Yue Mingkong was the most important matter of all for the various orthodoxies and powers of the Beyond.
In some respects, it was even more important than the previous audience with the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
For Yue Mingkong and Gu Changge each represented the two powers with the deepest and most mysterious foundations in the current Beyond. Once the two of them wed, the entire situation of the Beyond would likely undergo unimaginable changes from then on.
This was an outcome many orthodoxies and powers were unwilling to see.
Especially after the calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven was quelled, Changge had gained a shifu of unfathomable cultivation—the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being.
If they were to move against him now, the difficulty would be a hundred, a thousand times greater than before.
The last time, when Gu Changge annihilated the Nether, it had already made countless people wary of him. And now he had gained a shifu of incomparably terrifying strength.
Even foundation-level figures were deeply apprehensive of him. It seemed that before long, Gu Changge would truly be able to cover the sky with one hand in the Beyond.
Thus, many Honoured Nobles of the various orthodoxies and powers were secretly conferring, deciding that they had to break this situation. They could not allow Gu Changge to dominate alone, otherwise, given enough time, all the orthodoxies and powers of the Beyond would face a great reshuffling.
By this day, no one knew to what extent Gu Changge’s strength had reached.
During this period, after the Chosen Monk Jin Chan perished on his way back to Buddhist Mountain, Buddhist Mountain was shaken with fury and sent out many ancient monks, attempting to track down the whereabouts of the Successor of Demonic Arts.
But in the end, it was all wasted effort. They found nothing and could only give up.
Foundation-level figures such as the Kshana Ancient Buddha, the Gifted Lady Jin Yang, and the One-Eye Daoist had also been frequently appearing across the Beyond during this time, as if searching and probing for something.
Beyond that, some powers that ordinarily kept a low profile had now begun to grow active.
Some extremely ancient figures began breaking out of their seals from within Divine Sources, among them even existences comparable to foundation-level figures.
Such events occurred within many ancient orthodoxies, drawing shock and wild joy from countless disciples and descendants.
For even they had not known that their own ancestors had never perished at all—they had merely been sealing themselves away by some means all along, waiting for the day the Celestial Path would descend to emerge into the world.
The entire Beyond surged with undercurrents over this matter. Many Cultivators whose cultivation had reached the True Daoist realm, or even higher and deeper realms, had also faintly sensed something during this time.
The environment of heaven and earth seemed to be becoming different from before?
Although such changes were very subtle, in their eyes, they were nothing less than an omen that a great upheaval was imminent.
Especially since long ago, word had spread that the Celestial Gate would manifest in this era—how could this not fill them with excitement?
And as the wedding day of Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong drew ever closer,
the universe where the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty resided also grew incomparably lively.
Many ancient life stars took on a festive appearance, hung with all manner of celebratory decorations. Immortal cranes danced, golden springs surged, spiritual mist curled about—auspicious and blessed in every way.
Every day, Cultivators and living beings came to patrol the area, ensuring that no one would sabotage or interfere.
Ten miles of crimson dowry?
Even describing it as a dowry of crimson spanning billions of miles would not be an exaggeration.
The clansmen of the Longevity Gu Family and the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty were all making preparations for it. The number of warships and knights dispatched was enough to flatten some orthodoxies outright.
The grandeur of the ceremony was simply staggering.
The entire star region was steeped in festivity. Some uninhabited stars were even refined by great Cultivators with supreme magic power, specifically to serve as decorations, draping down boundless cascades of crimson, dazzling and resplendent.
The vast star region was draped in crimson silk, and there were even Quasi-Nirvana Realm existences who took action, seizing numerous silver rivers to adorn the skies.
The heavens were filled with celebratory auspiciousness. Some True Daoists, in order to create an atmosphere of the Great Dao, did not hesitate to preach the Dao in the depths of the star region, drawing down phenomena of light that filled the sky.
Countless Cultivators and living beings benefited from this, weeping with gratitude.
Of course, to welcome the Empress of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, the betrothal gifts given by the Longevity Gu Family were also extravagant to a degree that left even some immortal orthodoxies and supreme great sects aghast. Things like undying divine medicines, peerless heavenly techniques and ancient arts, and celestial Dao relics went without saying.
Among them, there was even a genuine Immortal Grade Artifact.
And this was no ordinary Immortal Grade Artifact—it was an heirloom Immortal Grade Artifact that could be passed down through the generations, suppressing a faction’s foundation.
Even some immortal orthodoxies did not possess such an Immortal Grade Artifact.
Only at the critical juncture of facing the great calamity of clan extermination would they possibly bring out such a foundation. Otherwise, the energy consumed each time it awakened was a vast and unimaginable amount.
The Longevity Gu Family’s act of so unreservedly displaying its foundation also made many orthodoxies and powers understand: if anyone dared to interfere with this grand wedding, they would face the Longevity Gu Family’s endless retaliation.
Suddenly, heaven and earth trembled. A dragon’s roar that shook the firmament came from far away at the other end of the universe. Nine Azure Dragons, their entire bodies wreathed in light, pulled a white jade chariot, galloping swiftly through the star region.
On either side of the nine Azure Dragons stretched the vast wedding escort army, advancing in mighty force with world-shaking momentum.
Countless Cultivators and living beings watched this scene in horrified shock, hardly able to believe their eyes.
Nine Quasi-Nirvana Realm Azure Dragons pulling the chariot, and no fewer than five or six True Daoist existences surrounding them.
The Longevity Gu Family had dispatched so many people just to fetch the bride? Or were they worried someone would interfere along the way?
If their senses were not mistaken, there was also a celestial aura hidden within this bridal escort army.
Could it be a foundation-level figure, or a concealed Immortal Grade Artifact?
Many supreme experts who had long been waiting at the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty saw this and their pupils contracted, their hearts trembling without cease.
After all, if even the bridal escort’s formation was this terrifying and horrifying, then the wedding itself...
Before this, the Family of Immortals had never revealed its depths, yet now it had suddenly displayed so much of its foundation, truly leaving them shaken.
“Changge, do you think I’m beautiful?”
At this moment, deep within the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, among the grand palace complexes.
Yue Mingkong, dressed in a long red gown with a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes, was carefully examining her countenance in the bronze mirror. Her dark brows were like verdant distant mountains, her jade nose exquisite and flawless, her vermilion lips red without any rouge—as if she were the most perfect masterpiece of the heavens, so breathtakingly beautiful it seemed unreal.
Gu Changge smiled faintly, finished painting the last stroke of her brows for her, then lowered his head slightly and kissed her on the forehead. “Beautiful.”
