Epilogue 4 – Grand Wedding (Part 6/6)
As the fifth group to arrive, the great figures of the Ancient God Domain shocked everyone here upon revealing themselves, and they caused all the students of Dao Emperor Academy to fall deathly silent.
These great figures of the Ancient God Domain knew their limits well, and they were fully aware that they couldn’t act too unrestrained in the territory of the Chen Clan. So, all of them simultaneously restrained their auras upon arriving here, and they didn’t reveal any terrifying imposing auras.
But even then, their arrival here had still caused the others to feel pressure and fear that came from the depths of their souls.
At this moment, even Chen Hao seemed to be slightly surprised, but it merely took him an instant to recover his calm and step forward to welcome them.
Once arrangements were made for all these great figures of the Ancient God Domain, Chen Hao imperceptibly spoke to Qiu Xuanshu via voice transmission. "What’s going on? I remember that Big Brother instructed that the wedding should be low profile. He didn’t seem to have invited so many people at that time."
Qiu Xuanshu instantly laughed bitterly and said, "Do you think that the news about Martial Uncle’s wedding could be kept from everyone? It’s probably impossible even if he wants to keep it low profile."
As he spoke, Qiu Xuanshu glanced at those great figures of the Ancient God Domain and said, "Look, are any one of those guests not closely related to Martial Uncle? Perhaps only a small amount of them obtained an invitation, but so long as they investigated a little, then they would definitely be able to find out about the wedding."
Chen Hao was stunned, and then he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly as he said, "We can’t do anything about it then."
He could understand their intentions. After all, the commotion his older brother had created in the Ancient God Domain was too shocking, and he’d even taken the position of Sovereign throughout the cosmos. Under such circumstances, every single action his older brother made would definitely be noticed by others, and it was impossible to conceal even if they wanted to.
Not to mention that news of the wedding hadn’t been completely concealed, so the guests that had arrived were clearly much more numerous than expected.
If it was a few ordinary cultivators, then he could refuse entrance to them. However, most of the guests possessed extraordinary backgrounds and more or less had a relationship with Chen Xi. So, even Chen Hao could only laugh bitterly and accept their arrival.
In next to no time, the list of the gifts presented by the great figures of the Ancient God Domain resounded. Every single one of them was precious treasures that were completely unheard of, and it caused the deathly silent atmosphere in the surroundings to be covered in a wisp of shock again.
The students of Dao Emperor Academy suddenly noticed that they were like bumpkins because the value of the gifts presented by the guests from the Ancient God Domain had completely exceeded their imaginations.
Any one of those gifts were sufficient for the clans and powers which stood behind them to regard it as a supreme treasure that should become part of their inheritance!
At this moment, they finally realized how laughable it was for them to laugh at the gifts presented by the cultivators of the Mortal Dimension.
…
At this moment, an entire five groups of guests had arrived in succession, and arrangements had been made for them to sit at various different spots.
At this moment, the guests from all the different dimensions and planes were sitting upright and solemnly, and they weren’t really clamorous.
On the contrary, they were very clearly aware that the group which was about to arrive would be the most terrifying group in both status and identity!
It was even to the extent that the great figures of the Ancient God Domain couldn’t help but act in a slightly reserved manner because only they were clearly aware about exactly how extraordinary the status of those experts was.
The atmosphere here underwent a change, and it had transformed from merely being silent to a solemn state.
A group of figures had suddenly walked out from the guest hall, and it was surprisingly Qing Xiuyi, Fan Yunlan, and Zhen Liuqing who were standing at the front of the group.
Today, these 3 women who’d had children with Chen Xi a very long time ago had changed their way of dressing, and they wore simple yet elegant wedding dresses. Qing Xiuyi was pretty and extraordinary, Fan Yunlan was delicate and gorgeous, and Zhen Liuqing was beautiful and tranquil. They stood side by side, and the extraordinary and peerless beauty they revealed instantly caused the crowd to be stirred.
Behind the three of them was Fei Lengcui, Chen Yu, Chen An, Chen Nuo, Chen Pu, Chen Yunzhi, Chen Baojing, and the other direct line descendants of the Chen Clan.
Even those great figures from the Ancient God Domain couldn’t sit still anymore when they noticed the arrival of this group. All of them stood up and bowed in greeting. After all, every single one of them were Chen Xi’s closest relatives, so how could they be disrespectful to them?
As for the others in the surroundings, all of them had stood up and bowed in unison as well.
At the same time, many people in the surroundings couldn’t help but feel even more curious. Who exactly will be amongst the sixth group of guests? They actually made Qing Xiuyi and the others come forward to welcome them. That’s an extraordinary honor!In next to no time, the answer was revealed.
"Oracle Mountain’s Founding Ancestor Di Shun and Wen Zhen have arrived with the disciples of Oracle Mountain to congratulate the bride and groom!"
"Nuwa’s Dao Palace’s Supreme Elder Yu Shujing has arrived with the disciples of Nuwa’s Dao Palace to congratulate the bride and groom!"
"The Dao Institute’s Grand Elder Huai Kong’zi has arrived with the disciples of the Dao Institute to congratulate the bride and groom!"
As a clear and sonorous voice resounded through the sky, the solemn atmosphere here was instantly destroyed.
Everyone was shocked. Even if it were those great figures of the Ancient God Domain who expected this, they still couldn’t maintain their calm when they confirmed their suspicions.
Oracle Mountain, Nuwa’s Dao Palace, and the Dao Institute!
Since the Divine Institute and the Sovereign Sect had been destroyed these 3 extraordinary powers had become the 3 overlords of the Ancient God Domain, and their power and influence was supreme and unparalleled!
Especially Oracle Mountain, it was renowned throughout the world and had become the leader of the 3 overlords.
Yet now, these 3 ancient and extraordinary powers which stood towering at the peak of the Ancient God Domain had actually arrived in unison. So, it was obvious how shocked the guests here were.
Even if it was those guests who weren’t aware of the status and strength of these 3 great sects, they were able to deduce how extraordinary it was based on the fact that all the guests from the Ancient God Domain had stood up solemnly while Qing Xiuyi and the others had headed over to greet them.
The gazes of everyone present here had shot
In next to no time, Di Shun and Wen Daozhen’s figures were the first to walk through the arched doorways while Wu Xuechan, Tang Xian, Tie Yunhai, the Old Scholar, Li Fuyao, and all the other disciples of Oracle Mountain were following behind those two founding ancestors of Oracle Mountain.
The guests from the Ancient God Domain who’d arrived beforehand couldn’t help but gasp upon laying eyes on them. Only now did they notice to their astonishment that every renowned figure in Oracle Mountain was here!
Especially Di Shun and Wen Daozhen, they were the junior brothers of the master of Oracle Mountain, Fuxi! Their status was so lofty that it was simply matchless!
On the other hand, the students of Dao Emperor Academy were so nervous that they couldn’t speak, and they were reverent to the extreme.
Fan Yunlan stepped forward and greeted them with her daughter Chen Nuo.
After that, the ground from Nuwa’s Dao Palace entered. The figures in the lead were seniors of Nuwa’s Dao Palace who lived in seclusion, and behind them was Shi Yu, Xiangliu Li, and various other disciples.
It was Qing Xiuyi and Chen An who went over to greet them, and it was naturally because Qing Xiuyi was from Nuwa’s Dao Palace.
The last to enter were the guests from the Dao Institute. Huai Kong’zi who led the ground was the Grand Elder of the Dao Institute, and he’d personally managed the Dao Discussion between the five extremes of the Imperial Region all those years ago.
All the disciples of the Dao Institute were following behind him.
Zhen Liuqing and Chen Pu were the ones who went over to greet this group.
Comparatively speaking, the attention both Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace received was much greater, and it faintly surpassed that off the Dao Institute.
There was a reason for all of that. So long as one knew what had happened all those years ago, one would know that the Dao Institute was the only power amongst the five extremes of the Imperial Region that maintained a neutral position. However, it was exactly its neutral position which caused Oracle Mountain, Nuwa’s Dao Palace, or even the Sovereign Sect and the Divine Institute to take it as a true ally.
Even though a tremendous change had occurred in the situation of the world now, the Dao Institute was in a rather tricky situation because of its adherence to neutrality.
Of course, such a situation was only present between it and both Oracle Mountain and Nuwa’s Dao Palace. In the opinions of the other powers within the Ancient God Domain, the Dao Institute was still a colossus that couldn’t be shaken, and no one dared to offend it.
As the sixth group of guests to enter, the arrival of the members of Oracle Mountain, Nuwa’s Dao Palace, and the Dao Institute allowed all the guests to obtain a deeper understanding of how terrifying the Chen Clan’s ability was, and the strong shock they felt made it almost impossible for them to stay calm.
However, they weren’t even able to calm down slightly when the seventh group of guests had arrived!
"Ancestor Chen Taichong of the Chen Clan amongst the Divine Dao Protector Clans has arrived with his clansmen!"
"Ancestor Tang Linyuan of the Tang Clan amongst the Divine Dao Protector Clans has arrived with his clansmen!"
"The last Ancestor of the Bloodsoul Clan amongst the Divine Children of the Heavens has arrived with the representatives of the various clans of Divine Children!"
A clear and sonorous voice resounded through the world, and it caused the venue to fall into deathly silence. Even the great figures of the Ancient God Domain were unable to maintain their calm and exclaimed with surprise.
"The Divine Dao Protector Clans of Godrank Mountain and the Divine Children of the Heavens have actually arrived in unison!"
"Those are eternal divine clans!"
"I’m afraid only the Chen Clan is capable of receiving such an honor throughout the cosmos…."
Exclaims resounded throughout the surroundings. The information revealed by them caused all the others who were completely puzzled to feel as if they were struck by lightning, and they were stunned on the spot.
Especially when they saw that it was actually Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue who’d moved forward to welcome this group of guests. Everyone here stood up and bowed once more.
After all, they were Chen Xi’s parents, so how could they remain indifferent in their presence?
Of course, Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue’s arrival wasn’t became the guests from the Divine Dao Protector Clans and the Divine Children of the Heavens were more important than the guests from Oracle Mountain, Nuwa’s Dao Palace, and the Dao Institute. The true reason was that Chen Lingjun was from the Chen Clan of the Divine Dao Protector Clans, and that was why the two of them had stepped forward to welcome these guests. After all, no one else could.
At this point, all the guests who’d received Chen Hao’s invitations had arrived, and the next event was the beginning of the wedding itself.
Everyone here definitely heaved a sigh of relief when they realized this because everything that occurred just now simply felt like a dream to them. They’d seen numerous legendary and powerful figures. After all, how could they possibly have the opportunity to witness such a scene at any other ordinary time?
In an instant, the powerful figures of the Mortal Dimension, Immortal Dimension, Netherworld, Ancient God Domain, and various other dimensions and plans had arrived in succession. Not to mention those guests, even the students of Dao Emperor Academy and the clansmen of the Chen Clan who were welcoming the guests felt quite overwhelmed and dazed.
However, the clansmen of the Chen Clan felt even more proud!
Besides that, the gifts presented by the guests truly widened the horizons of them all, and they were shocked in succession. Even the most renowned auction in the world would probably be far inferior in comparison to the preciousness and rarity of the gifts that were presented today. It could absolutely be considered to be unparalleled.
However, right when everyone thought that the welcoming of guests had come to an end, an old man suddenly walked out from within the guest hall.
That old man had an emaciated appearance. Surprisingly, he was actually Chen Xi’s grandfather, Chen Tianli!
Even Chen Lingjun, Zuoqiu Xue, Chen Hao, Qing Xiuyi, and the others couldn’t help but feel shocked and surprised when they saw him walk out of the guest hall.
In the arrangements they’d made, Chen Tianli’s status was too unique, so he didn’t have to welcome the guests at all. Yet now, they wondered why he’d come out of the guest hall at this moment?
The guests recognized Chen Tianli, and they stood up and bowed in succession once more. For a time, voices of congratulations resounded incessantly through the surroundings, and it caused Chen Tianli to be unable to avoid feeling extremely gratified.
In next to no time, everyone saw Chen Tianli stride over to stand before the arched doorways.
Most couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised when they saw this. Could it be that more guests are coming? And it’s even to the extent that Chen Tianli has to welcome them himself?
At this moment, Chen Lingjun and Zuoqiu Xue seemed to have come to a certain understanding, and they couldn’t help but walk forward and accompany Chen Tianli.
In this way, the guests here couldn’t help but feel even more surprised. Could it be that there are guests in this world who are even more important than Oracle Mountain, Nuwa’s Dao Palace, the Dao Institute, the Divine Dao Protector Clans, and the Divine Children of the Heavens?
In next to no time, everyone saw a tall and ordinary looking old man arrive swiftly, and his imposing aura wasn’t very obvious.
But at this moment, Di Shun and Wen Daozhen had stood up in unison, and they revealed pleasant surprise on their faces. "Senior Brother!"
The bodies of Wu Xuechan, Tang Xian, and the other disciples of Oracle Mountain trembled as they stood up in unison as well, and they revealed disbelief on their faces.
When they saw such a scene, how could everyone not figure out that it was the master of Oracle Mountain, Fuxi?
In an instant, all of them finally realized why Chen Tianli had personally stepped forward. It was because the master of Oracle Mountain himself had arrived!
Fuxi!
Fuxi was a legendary overlord that had vanished from the world innumerable years ago. No one had imagined that he would actually arrive in person for Chen Xi and A’Xiu’s wedding!
It wasn’t long before a slender figure that was bathed in divine light had appeared.
The figures of everyone from Nuwa’s Dao Palace stiffened when they saw this figure, and then they stood up in unison and similarly revealed both disbelief and pleasant surprise.
Obviously, since she’d been able to arrive here with Fuxi, then she was definitely the master of Nuwa’s Dao Palace, Nuwa!
The guests in the surroundings were at a loss for words to describe what they felt right now. Fuxi is here! Nuwa is here! Has anyone in the world ever witnessed such a grand event?
In next to no time, even more figures appeared in succession. Ji Yu, the Divine Dark Parasol Tree, and numerous other legendary supreme figures had arrived in succession.
Such a scene could only be described as absolutely astounding and amazing.
"It’s time!!!" After the surroundings returned to calm, Senior White who stood before the hall shouted loudly. "The wedding shall commence!"
In an instant, bells rumbled while the tune of the Grand Dao drifted through the air, and the world was suffused by an aura of auspiciousness.
A pair walked out from the Hall of Vie under the gazes of everyone, and the attention of everyone was drawn over to them.
Chen Xi was wearing red wedding garments, a phoenix feather hat, and a pair of pine shoes inscribed with dragons. It was completely different to his usual green clothes, and it made him seem especially striking.
At his side was a graceful and beautiful figure who was seated upright. She wore a phoenix coronet, a bright red wedding gown with wide sleeves, and a pair of shoes inscribed with azure phoenixes.
It was naturally the bride, A’Xiu.
The pair of bride and groom stood upright on the platform before the Hall of Vie. Divine radiance flowed through the sky alongside the tune of the Dao, and the ground below was covered in numerous friends and the rumbling of the bells.
These scenes were bound to be branded eternally within the memories of everyone present here today, and it was something worthy of a lifetime of recollection.
