293: Chapter 293 The Grand Wedding Day, the Immortal's Celebration!

"Go on."

After seeing Gu Qingxue off, Lu Yuan did not rest.

With a flicker of his body, he directly entered the independent space of the Eternal Night Demon Palace.

There, he still had some trouble to deal with.

His gaze fell upon a Blood-colored Source Stone in the corner that was emitting a towering blood-colored Qi.

This was exactly one of the opportunities he had intercepted from Jiang Hao earlier; sealed within it was a ferocious creature from the Foreign Domain—the Fallen Blood Phoenix.

"It's time to deal with you as well."

Lu Yuan flicked his fingertip, and a beam of sharp Qi shot out.

*Crack!*

The surface of the source stone was instantly covered in cracks, and then it exploded with a bang.

*Boom!*

A towering surge of blood-fiend Devilish Qi erupted instantly, like a blood-colored mad dragon sweeping through the entire Demon Palace space.

"Jie jie jie... This seat is finally out! How many years has it been! This seat wants to eat people! Eat everyone in the world! This fresh scent of flesh and blood..."

Accompanied by a roar full of tyranny and hunger, a Fallen Blood Phoenix, blood-red all over with feathers like cast iron and emitting the terrifying aura of the Early Stage Void Immortal, soared into the sky.

Its wingspan reached a thousand zhang, and its eyes were as red as blood, filled with a bloodthirsty longing as it frantically scanned the surroundings.

However.

Before it could even display its power, or even see its surroundings clearly.

"Kneel."

A faint but indisputable voice rang out above its head.

*Boom!*

An absolute suppression originating from the depths of its Bloodline and its very level of existence descended instantly.

Lu Yuan fully unleashed his Chaos Body. To this fallen creature possessing the True Phoenix Bloodline, that supreme aura—the source of all Daos—was simply the ultimate natural enemy of natural enemies.

*Thud!*

The originally violent blood Qi within the Fallen Blood Phoenix's body instantly solidified.

Like a rooster being grabbed by the neck, it fell straight from mid-air and crashed heavily onto the ground, lying there trembling, not even daring to lift its head.

"This... what is this aura?! Why do I feel such terror?"

It struggled to lift its head in horror, looking at the white-robed man gazing down at it like a God King, its eyes filled with disbelief.

"Submit, or die." Lu Yuan's tone was calm, yet a cluster of pitch-black curse runes had already condensed in his hand.

"I... I am willing to submit!"

The Fallen Blood Phoenix did not hesitate for a second, nodding its head desperately.

Though it was cruel and tyrannical, it was also extremely afraid of death.

Moreover, facing Bloodline suppression of this level, resistance only led to death.

"Very good."

Lu Yuan nodded, but looking at its blood-drenched Devilish Qi, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. "However, I really dislike this eerie aura of yours.

Too dirty."

He extended his palm.

*Whoosh—*

A wisp of the flawless, holy, and pure World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame drifted down lightly, covering the Blood Phoenix's body.

"Ahhh—!!"

The Fallen Blood Phoenix let out a shrill scream as billows of black smoke rose from its body.

The flame burned upon it, yet it did not destroy its Physical Body; instead, it frantically purified the eerie substances and Devilish Qi that had accumulated within it for tens of thousands of years.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The screams gradually subsided.

The originally blood-red, hideous, and terrifying Fallen Blood Phoenix now had feathers of brilliant gold-red, shimmering with flowing light and emitting a holy and peaceful aura.

The eerie substances within it were completely expelled, its Bloodline returned to its ancestors, and it had transformed back into a true pure-blooded True Phoenix!

"This... my Bloodline... has actually been purified?!"

Feeling the pure and powerful strength within its body, no longer containing a trace of Impurities, the True Phoenix trembled with excitement, its eyes brimming with tears.

Not only did it feel no resentment, but it also kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Yuan with immense gratitude: "Thank you, Master, for the grace of rebirth! This little Phoenix is willing to go through fire and water for Master, and will not hesitate even in the face of ten thousand deaths!"

"Don't be so quick to thank me."

Lu Yuan tapped his finger, and an improved version of the Death Rattle Curse mark sank into its forehead. "This is insurance.

As long as you are loyal, it is harmless.

If you have ulterior motives... you know the consequences."

"Yes! This little Phoenix understands!" The True Phoenix nodded repeatedly.

Having subdued the True Phoenix, Lu Yuan began to ask about its origins.

"You are a creature of the Foreign Domain. Why did you appear in a source stone in the Central Province?"

The True Phoenix replied respectfully: "Reporting to Master, this little Phoenix was a vanguard during the Foreign Domain invasion tens of thousands of years ago.

Later, the great war was lost, and the passage between the two worlds was about to close. This little Phoenix didn't have time to retreat, so I could only hide in the depths of the Primal Ancient Mine, sealing myself within a source stone to linger on."

"I see." Lu Yuan nodded. "Then do you know where the node from back then is?"

"It's in the deepest part of the Primal Ancient Mine!" the True Phoenix said with certainty. "Furthermore, this little Phoenix has recently sensed that the node seems to have loosened, with the aura of the Foreign Domain faintly seeping through."

"Loosened?"

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed the Foreign Domain had not given up on its wicked ambitions.

"In that case, you shall go and guard that place."

Lu Yuan commanded, "Go to the depths of the Primal Ancient Mine, find that node, and find a way to reinforce the Seal. If there are any changes, report to me at any time."

"As you command!"

The True Phoenix transformed into a beam of golden light and respectfully departed.

Having dealt with these trivial matters, Lu Yuan finally took out that section of the True Immortal's hand bone.

He toyed with this section of hand bone, which was as crystal clear as jade, trying to refine it with the World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame, Southern Bright Separation Fire, and even the Glazed Divine Fire in turn, but found that he could not leave even a single mark on it.

"As expected of a True Immortal's body; even if it's just a section of bone, it's not something I can easily refine at my current level."

Lu Yuan shook his head somewhat helplessly: "Forget it, I'll just keep it as a collector's item for now."

...

Time flowed like water, slowly passing by.

One month later.

The Qingyun Dao Sect was decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with thousands of auspicious auras.

Today was the grand day of the Void Immortal celebration hosted by the Qingyun Old Ancestor, Lu Yuan, and it was also the day of his grand wedding to Sect Master Gu Qingxue.

A double blessing, a celebration for the whole world.

Major forces from the entire Central Province and even the Three Thousand Dao Domains sent heavyweight figures to offer their congratulations.

"The Longevity Ji Family presents ten ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines to congratulate Old Ancestor Lu on attaining the Void Immortal realm!"

"The Taixuan Holy Land presents a portion of Immortal Gold to congratulate Old Ancestor Lu on attaining the Void Immortal realm!"

One after another, famous titles echoed before the mountain gate.

Those Holy Lords and Family Heads, who were usually high and mighty, were now all smiles, respectfully presenting their congratulatory gifts, fearing even a hint of negligence.

Even the Yaochi Holy Mother arrived in person.

Not only did she present top-tier Immortal Gold and divine medicine, but with a wave of her hand, she also brought ten whole prepared Primordial Species as ingredients for the wedding banquet.

Of course, among the ingredients Lu Yuan had prepared himself, there were also members of the Primordial Royal Race—it was impressively a pure-blooded Qilin leg at the Great Ascension Stage!

"*Hiss*—Is that Qilin meat?!"

"And Kunpeng wings!"

"Heavens! This is simply too extravagant!"

Looking at those plates of dishes emitting enticing aromas and boundless essence, the guests' eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

Was this even a meal? This was clearly eating mountains of gold and silver!

And when they stepped into the interior of the Qingyun Dao Sect, they were even more shocked into silence by the sight before them.
