Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 1369 - Main Characters and Supporting Characters

Li Shizhen's identity gradually became clearer.

He was, in fact, a Martial Emperor from generations past and had been the only Martial Emperor in history who had managed to escape the control of the Sky Emperor. Later, he destroyed his own cultivation and went into hiding. By chance, he came across a crack in space and time, and used it to enter the Heaven Wasteland Domain. Back then, the laws of the Heavenly Dao in the Heaven Wasteland Domain were incomplete and this led to his strength weakening. He had several encounters with the Peerless War God and the Peerless War God had instructed him to pay special attention to Ye Qingyu, and thus, he gave Ye Qingyu the pill formula.

He was also an outstanding character himself.

Now, he would walk freely amongst the various domains and planets of the Vast Thousand Star Domains to gather herbs and refine pills. He led a carefree life and was on such good terms with the Pill God and the Divine Doctor that they were like the three musketeers. He had never once asked about worldly affairs and drifted around like a carefree and wild heron. He was extremely elusive and would occasionally make an appearance in the mortal realm to leave behind yet another astonishing legend. He could bring the dead back to life and he was like a living immortal to many people.

Today was Ye Qingyu's wedding so Li Shizhen would naturally be present.

This was not only because of how powerful Ye Qingyu was today, nor was it because they were old acquaintances, nor was it due to the fact that they clicked well together and he had once guided Ye Qingyu on how to refine herbs and pills. Today, Ye Qingyu was more well-versed in the art of refining than he was and had given him 108 Yin-Yang Bagua pill furnaces, which was the holy grail of the art of refining. Li Shizhen felt as though he was close to achieving his lifelong dream of refining a pill of eternity.

The crowd chattered excitedly.

A loud cheer rang out from Light City.

This was the most important part of the ceremony.

Qin Zhishui looked on with a smile on her face, but her outward calm belied her excitement.

He was now not only an expert who was known throughout the Vast Thousand Star Domains and who was publicly acknowledged to be a master in sword and saber techniques, and given the honorific title of a Matchless Saber Emperor, but he was also a legendary figure in the martial way. This martial artist, who had once used to fervently fight against the Brute Race, was a current swordsman who used to be one of the few that had managed to see the bigger picture amongst the successors of the Three Sects and Three Schools, and who was also Ye Qingyu's good friend, was highly respected by all because of his heroism and righteousness. He was not interested in power and authority and was solely focused on perfecting his sword and saber techniques. He had once entered the Immortal Dojo to further his understanding in front of the divine statues that contained Emperor techniques. He was now merely a whisker away from becoming a Martial Emperor himself, as he fit the classical descriptions of martial artists to a tee.

Qin Zhishui was surrounded by his wife, son, and daughter.

"Dad, Uncle Imperial Emperor looks really handsome today," his son who was almost three said as he sat on Qin Zhishui's shoulders.

His beautiful and intelligent wife smiled at her son's words.

She remembered that it was Ye Qingyu who had descended from the sky to turn the tables when the foreign experts had invaded Matchless Blade City and left her husband on the verge of death. He had personally returned her happiness back to her when she had felt hopeless and despair. She knew that Ye Qingyu was regarded by many as their savior, and the entire Vast Thousand Star Domains could only exist because of his protection. However, she was still very grateful to him as she looked at her husband and her children, who were everything to her.

There were also others from the Snow Empire's Three Sects and Three Schools who stood near Qin Zhishui.

The ex-heir of the Dragon Tiger Sect and the current sect master, Wu Shanglong, was also present.

The sect master of the Crepe Mrytle Sect, Li Rui, was also present in their midst.

The disciple of the Crepe Myrtle Sect, who used to be so timid and cowardly but who was upright and righteous and offered to sacrifice himself for his loved ones in the face of death, was now the sect master of the Crepe Myrtle Sect for the past two thousand years. He had a strong cultivation and he was as powerful as Qin Zhishui. He was also considered to be one of the

Tears swam in his eyes as he watched the proceedings on stage.

He still remembered that it had been Ye Qingyu who had in the Crepe Myrtle Sect more than two thousand three hundred years ago, personally appointed him sect master of the Crepe Myrtle Sect, and imparted unto him and guided him on his cultivation techniques. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Ye Qingyu had molded him to be the person he was today.

The more he thought about it, the more emotional he became, and he reached out to hold his wife's hand.

His wife was none other than Nan Hua.

He used to have a crush on this woman and didn't even dare to look directly at her since she was his senior, who gave off such a bright and dazzling aura, but now they had been happily married for more than two thousand years, and they had three sons and a daughter together. This stubborn, unruly, and haughty young girl had matured into a gentle and beautiful woman.

Nan Hua turned to look at her husband with a smile when she felt his hand on hers.

She couldn't help sighing emotionally when she saw Ye Qingyu, who was getting married on stage. More than two thousand years had truly flown by in the blink of an eye.

He was still as handsome as ever and his looks had not changed at all, but his status had skyrocketed so fast that he was like a divine dragon that had shot into the sky. She used to think that she was noble and highborn and had once crushed on Ye Qingyu, and even attempted to get to know him better. She was haughty and unruly, and just like any other young girl, she once dreamt of having a prince charming come and sweep her off her feet. She had hoped that Ye Qingyu would fall for her, but as time passed, she finally woke up from her unrealistic dreams. Life had given her an added layer of maturity, just like how an unripe apple would ultimately turn red as rays of sunlight shone upon it, and she awakened from her wishful thinking and started to live her own life. She did not think that she had compromised on her dreams by marrying Li Rui, but rather, she truly loved this man who gave her a sense of security.

The Lang siblings, Lang Zhong and Lang Yong, were also present in the crowd as the family of the groom.

After more than two thousand years had passed, they had given up on managing their sect and joined the empire. They were now in charge of the secret troops of the empire. Most ordinary officials of the empire did not know of their existence, but they were secretly so powerful that Martial Emperors would turn pale.

Bai Yuqing attracted a lot of attention, as though she were a moon fairy who had descended to the mortal realm. The current master of White Jade Capital was incredibly gorgeous and gave off a perfect and ethereal aura like someone who wasn't of the world. No matter how crowded Light City was, there was still some space between herself and the others since no one dared to draw too close to her. They weren't afraid of her due to her being a Martial Emperor, but because she was so beautiful that no one wanted to taint her beauty. Even those who were extremely confident and egotistical felt a little ashamed of themselves in front of Bai Yuqing. This feeling was as though they would taint her etherealism if they drew closer to her.

Unfortunately, this beautiful fairy was not one of the beautiful brides on stage today.

If the Imperial God Emperor couldn't win the heart of this beautiful woman, then who would be able to win her heart?

Many amongst the wedding guests speculated secretly.

Bai Yuqing was the only person who knew that she indeed had fallen for Ye Qingyu. However, she was too stubborn and prideful, so even though she was willing to lay her life on the line for this man, she would never express her feelings for him, nor would she be willing to share her beloved with another woman. Thus, she would rather stand in the distance, watch his wedding ceremony, and wish him well.

"I wish you happiness," Bai Yuqing said silently.

She could only lament the fact that they had met too late and that she had taken even longer than the others to fall for him.

Since she had met him later than the other women, everything was already written in the stars. Thus, was there still a need for her to fight with the others for this man?

She thought self-deprecatingly.

Everything had probably been written in the stars in advance.

Bai Yuqing looked on for a while longer before she turned and left.

Her white robes disappeared like a bright moon.

No one saw the fairy of White Jade Capital ever again and no one knew where she had gone. Many thousands of years later, another successor of White Jade Capital appeared in the world and stunned everyone with her beauty. She looked almost exactly the same as Bai Yuqing.

Ye Qingyu did not notice Bai Yuqing's departure as he stood on stage.

However, the bridesmaid, Song Qingluo, who stood arm in arm beside Song Xiaojun, immediately saw the figure in white leaving. She smiled wryly as she watched this figure, who looked a little lonely and carefree, disappear.

Bai Yuqing's beauty was indeed matchless, but not all the love in the world could be won through beauty. Song Qingluo herself had also fallen for Ye Qingyu, but she didn't manage to win his heart and she was not as carefree as Bai Yuqing. She realized that she could not extricate herself from her love for him. She held on to her sister's arm and experienced the entire wedding proceedings in the closest proximity, but this was enough for her. Since she couldn't be the star of this wedding, she was happy to play a supporting role.

Everyone had their own method of loving others and also had the freedom of choice.

The wedding entered the stage where the brides and groom were to take their vows.

The brides and groom were supremely powerful figures and their vows were witnessed by the heavens and the earth.

The power of Dao laws manifested itself and Dao sounds roared.

The Little Princess of the Black Demon Race pouted as she looked at the trio who was receiving the blessings of the people. Then she sighed and couldn't help thinking of her friend, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden. The Celestial Phoenix Maiden had yet to be resurrected, so she had missed out on today's proceedings and also missed out on a lifetime together with him. She remembered how much her silly friend had loved Ye Qingyu, but the heavens had been cruel to her friend.

I wonder if she will be upset when she comes back to life and hears of this? the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race thought to herself. Then, she shook her head because she knew that her silly friend would choose not to show herself in front of Ye Qingyu again despite her sorrow and would avoid bothering him. She was truly too foolish.
