10: Chapter 10 On the day of the grand wedding, all the major sects came to pay homage—this was an unparalleled spectacle!
Three days later.
Ancient Xu Family, Changshang Immortal Island.
On this day, the Imperial Dynasty's immortal island, which usually hung high above the Nine Heavens, shrouded in mist like the dwelling of gods, shed its usual mystery and majesty, covered in a festive, fiery red.
These were no ordinary red silks, but brocade woven by thousands of weaver girls working day and night, using precious "Fire Cloud Silkworm Silk."
They were like crimson rivers, covering every floating island. Even the ten-thousand-foot spiritual waterfalls descending from the sky had been dyed a festive wine-red by great masters of Divine Ability, emitting the intoxicating aroma of spiritual wine.
Young Master Xu's grand wedding.
This was not just a private matter for the Xu Family, but a grand ceremony for the entire Ancient Immortal Realm.
From early morning, a long line had formed before the Xu Family's mountain gate.
The Masters of Holy Lands, Emperors of Imperial Dynasties, and Leaders of Ancient Sects, who were usually elusive, were now all obediently queuing up, holding priceless gifts, their Faces filled with humble smiles.
There was no other way; look at who was standing guard at the entrance?
Those were the Xu Family's "Changshang Guards," all of whom were powerful cultivators!
And look at who was in charge of welcoming the guests?
One of the nine great Elders of the Xu Family, the Ninth Elder, a living Saint!
Such a display was unique across the Three Thousand Dao States.
"The Great Xia Dynasty of the Central Province, the Xia Emperor arrives! Presenting ten catties of ten-thousand-year Dragon Marrow and one top-grade Spiritual Vein. Wishing Young Master Xu an early birth of a son!"
"Mount Sumeru of the Western Desert, the Vajra Ancient Buddha arrives! Presenting one Bodhi Seed and three Golden Body Arhat Fruits. Wishing Young Master Xu many children and many blessings!"
"The Demon Imperial Palace of the Southern Ridge, the Peacock Demon King arrives! Presenting one Five-Colored Divine Feather Fan and ten ninth-tier Demon Cores..."
Following the loud announcements of the welcoming deacon, the entire Changshang Square was already in an uproar.
Any one of these gifts, if taken out, would be enough to make Loose Cultivators fight to the death, or even trigger wars between Sects.
Yet here, they were like cheap cabbages, casually piled onto the gift platform on one side of the square, quickly forming a brilliant mountain of treasure.
"Is this the foundation of an Imperial Dynasty?"
A young Prodigy who had followed his Elders to see the world looked at the mountain of treasure, his throat dry, his eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. "Although Young Master Xu is a was... cough, although he cannot Cultivate, isn't his life too good?"
The Elder beside him immediately covered his mouth and glared at him. "Watch your words! If you want to die, don't drag the Sect down with you! Today, on this Changshang Island, there is more than one Great Emperor present. Be careful of walls having ears!"
...
The auspicious hour had arrived.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Nine tolls of the Dao bell that shook the Soul rang out, and the originally noisy square instantly fell silent.
Ethereal immortal music played between heaven and earth, countless phantoms of Auspicious Beasts galloped in the clouds, colorful Phoenixes danced, and Qilin offered auspicious signs.
Under the gaze of everyone, a road paved with pure starlight extended from the Hall of Eternal Life to the high platform in the center of the square.
Xu Chen, wearing a bright red wedding robe embroidered with gold Dragon patterns, a purple-gold crown on his head, and cloud-climbing boots on his feet, held Su Qingge's hand and walked over slowly.
Today, Xu Chen looked exceptionally spirited.
That innate nobility, combined with the Divine-Grade charm halo bestowed by the System, made him seem to be glowing.
Even those big shots who originally looked down on him for being unable to Cultivate could not help but secretly praise: What a peerless appearance!
Beside him, Su Qingge wore a Phoenix coronet, red tassels hanging down. Although her full Face could not be seen, the faintly visible, stunning outline and her cold, ethereal temperament still made countless male cultivators present stare straight.
"Don't be nervous."
Xu Chen felt the slight trembling of the small hand in his palm, gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb, and whispered, "With me here, the sky won't fall."
Su Qingge looked through the gaps in the tassels at the tall and straight man beside her.
In these three days, she had been staying in the Xu Family's villa. Although Xu Chen came to "harass" her every day, touching her, he had always kept the final bottom line, saying it was to be saved for the wedding night.
That attitude, both overbearing and respectful, made her restless heart gradually settle down.
"Hmm."
Su Qingge responded softly, holding Xu Chen's hand tightly in return.
At this moment, she was no longer the Tai Chu Saintess, just Xu Chen's wife.
The two walked onto the high platform.
On the high platform, two figures like gods were already seated.
They were the Xu Family head, Xu Changsheng, and the Peerless Empress, Ji Wushuang.
These two Great Emperors, who usually shook the heavens, now looked at the pair walking over with the loving smiles of ordinary parents.
Especially Ji Wushuang, looking at Su Qingge's flat abdomen, her eyes were shining, as if she could already see fat grandsons waving at her.
"First bow to heaven and earth!"
The officiating Elder channeled his spiritual power, his voice resounding through the clouds.
Xu Chen and Su Qingge turned around and bowed to the firmament.
"Second bow to the high hall!"
The two turned and bowed deeply to Xu Changsheng and Ji Wushuang.
Xu Changsheng laughed so hard he couldn't close his mouth, waving his hand, and two streams of light flew directly into their hands.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"This is the wedding gift from your father. A pair of 'Yin and Yang Heart-Connected Pendants,' polished from Chaos raw stone. Wear them, and you will be immune to all Spells and ward off all evil!"
The guests below twitched their eyelids.
Chaos raw stone? That was a Material for refining an Immortal Artifact! Just polished into jade pendants and given away?
Sure enough, poverty limited their imagination.
"Bow to each other!"
Xu Chen turned around, looking at the peerless beauty in front of him who was about to become his first woman.
Su Qingge also raised her head slightly. Although separated by the tassels, their gazes seemed to meet at this moment.
Bowing, they bowed to each other.
The ceremony was complete!
Boom—!
The moment the ceremony was completed, billions of gorgeous fireworks suddenly bloomed over the Changshang Immortal Island.
These were not ordinary gunpowder, but Spell fireworks condensed from spiritual power. Every bloom evolved into visions of Dragon and Phoenix bringing auspiciousness and a hundred flowers blooming, beautiful enough to take one's breath away.
"Everyone!"
Xu Chen was not in a hurry to enter the bridal chamber, but turned around to Face the guests from ten thousand Sects and clans below the platform.
He held a cup of spiritual wine in his hand, a lazy but domineering smile on his Face.
"Today is a day of great joy for me, Xu Chen."
"Thank you all for coming from afar to support me. The Xu Family will remember this Face."
Flattering sounds immediately erupted from below the platform.
"Young Lord is too polite!"
"It is our honor to attend Young Lord's grand wedding!"
Xu Chen pressed his hand down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He scanned the audience, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.
"I know that many of you here are muttering in your hearts."
"Saying that I, Xu Chen, am a useless person who cannot Cultivate, a second-generation ancestor who only relies on his Family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent instantly.
Many people broke out in cold sweat.
Why didn't Young Master Xu follow the script? On such a joyous day, why expose his own shortcomings?
Xu Chen didn't care at all, instead laughing freely.
"That's right, I really cannot Cultivate."
"In this world where the strong are respected, being unable to Cultivate seems to be an original sin."
"But!"
Xu Chen changed the subject, his voice raised a few notches.
"Who says that only by Cultivating can one attain the Dao?"
"Who says that only fighting and killing make one a powerhouse?"
He pulled Su Qingge beside him and hugged her tightly, showing an extremely provocative expression on his Face.
"Although my cultivation is not good, my wife is beautiful!"
"Although I am not good at fighting, I can have children!"
"You so-called peerless Prodigies, you go into closed-door meditation for a hundred years, and when you come out, your beards are white, and you are still single dogs."
"And me?"
"A hundred years later, my sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons will already be spread across the entire Ancient Immortal Realm!"
"At that time, can you beat me? You can't."
"Because when you fight me, my whole Family will fight you!"
"Hahahaha!"
Xu Chen laughed loudly and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
The guests below the platform were dumbfounded, their expressions stiff on their Faces, wanting to laugh but not daring to, holding it in very hard.
What kind of crooked logic is this?
But thinking about it carefully... it actually seems to make some sense!
They are an Imperial Dynasty, with countless resources, and the children born will definitely be Geniuses too.
If he really gives birth to hundreds or thousands of them, that scene...
Just thinking about it makes people's scalps tingle.
"So!"
Xu Chen threw the wine glass heavily to the ground with a crisp sound.
"I, Xu Chen, hereby swear!"
"From now on, I have only one goal."
"More children and more blessings! Strengthen the Xu Family!"
"This list of beauties in the Three Thousand Dao States, I, Xu Chen, have booked them all!"
Crazy!
Crazy without limits!
In front of the heroes of the world, he openly declared such a "stud declaration."
If it were anyone else, they would have been beaten to death long ago.
But he just happened to be Xu Chen.
He was the son of The Longevity Emperor.
Xu Changsheng below the platform was not angry, but instead took the lead in applauding.
"Good! That's ambition!"
"Worthy of being the seed of my, Xu Changsheng!"
The Grand Elder and other high-level Family members were even more moved to tears, as if they saw the future of the Xu Family's eternal prosperity.
"Congratulations to the Young Lord! Congratulations to the Young Lord!"
"Wishing the Young Lord an invincible army soon!"
Driven by the Xu Family, the guests below the platform could only bite the bullet and cheer along.
The entire Changshang Square was instantly drowned in the slogan of "More children and more blessings."
Su Qingge leaned in Xu Chen's arms, listening to his shocking remarks, only feeling her cheeks burning, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But for some reason, listening to his phrase "my whole Family will fight you," a strange sense of amusement welled up in her heart.
This man... is really a rascal.
But also a rascal who is openly cute.
"Alright, the bragging is done."
Xu Chen lowered his head, looking at the blushing wife in his arms, his eyes instantly becoming gentle and fiery.
He leaned into Su Qingge's ear and whispered:
"The oath has been made."
"My wife, the road ahead will have to be walked with you by my side."
"Especially this first step..."
Xu Chen picked up Su Qingge, and amidst the booing and envious gazes, strode towards the Bedchamber that had already been decorated and covered with red double-happiness characters.
"Everyone, eat well and drink well!"
"This Young Master is going back to do some serious business!"
The doors of the hall closed with a bang.
Completely isolating the noise of the outside world.
Leaving behind only a group of guests looking at each other, and countless eyes full of imagination.
Tonight, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
