Chapter 2396: Wedding for the Ages (End 1/2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tenth year of the Divine Mirror Calendar.

After experiencing a colossal calamity, vitality once again returned to the continent.

Lush greenery reappeared on the scarred land.

The damaged sky was once again clear and blue.

Billions upon billions of beings were born again, with the song of birds, the roar of beasts, and the chirp of insects traveling across the lands with the gentle wind.

This was an age of flourishing greenery and an age of rejuvenated heaven and earth.

It was also during this age that a wedding for the ages was hosted!

This was not an ordinary age, and it was instead an age that existed on the level of universal eras. After transitioning to become the Divine Mirror Universe from the initial Tai Chu universe, this was the first and most magnificent wedding to sweep through the entire universe. This wedding was destined to be the grandest in all history!

At the instant that the wedding for the ages started…

A galaxy projection swept throughout the entire universe, and rays of iridescent light beamed down on all worlds.

To those who lived in the boundless Realm of Stars, those in the morning could see iridescent clouds, while those in the night could see the dazzling glow of the moon. Not only that, but an announcement also appeared in almost everyone’s mind. That was, An Lin was about to marry Xu Xiaolan!

This was an announcement transmitted by the will of the great universe.

This was an announcement transmitted by the will of the Divine Mirror Heavenly Dao!

Indeed, the protagonists of this wedding for the ages were none other than An Lin and Xu Xiaolan!

An Lin had promised to give Xu Xiaolan a wedding for the ages. Truthfully speaking, however, Xu Xiaolan hadn’t imagined that her wedding would be so unimaginably grand. It was as if they yearned to tell the entire universe that An Lin was about to marry Xu Xiaolan, after which they would accompany each other forever.

A joyous atmosphere spread throughout the entire universe.

Not only did the central Divine Mirror Continent become a sea of wild celebration, but even the beings in the boundless Realm of Stars were feeling happiness from the bottom of their hearts. This was especially the case when they learned that the couple getting married was none other than the legendary Divine Phoenix Maiden who had reached the God of Creation Stage with two essential powers several years ago, as well as the courageous man who had saved the entire universe not long ago. They couldn’t help but squeal in sheer excitement.

In the sky of the Divine Mirror World.

Vermilion Birds soared across the sky from time to time, leaving trails of dazzling and magnificent flames. It was as if the sky were filled with rainbows.

A large number of dragons also swooped and spiraled, causing tens of thousands of feet of iridescent light to rise in the air.

The appearance of Immortal Beasts and Mythological Beasts was already no astonishing matter. Beasts of fortune and prosperity who would appear once every ten thousand years were now appearing one after another. To say nothing of ordinary cultivators, even Dao Integration Stage super-mighty beings hadn’t seen so many recognizable or unrecognizable beasts in their lifetimes.

Numerous God of Creation Stage divine beings who only appeared in legends also showed themselves. Upon arriving on this continent, they all headed over to attend An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s wedding.

This was a moment of grand celebration, and it was also a moment of great significance. Thus, everyone would give An Lin and Xu Xiaolan face.

Even the Void Spirit Tribe, Blood Tribe, and Western Dragon Tribe—once enemies—came bearing gifts with obsequious expressions. Of course, if An Lin hadn’t invited them, they wouldn’t have dared to come. However, this wouldn’t prevent them from erecting banners and launching fireworks in their own realms, hosting realm-wide celebrations to celebrate this grand event. Such was their obsequiousness that if An Lin commanded them, they might even wade through fire and water.

As for the forces who were on friendly terms with the Four Nine Immortal Sect, they were more so rapturous with joy.

In fact, some Soul Formation Stage cultivators and Return to Void Stage cultivators could even brag to others because they received an invitation to attend the grand wedding ceremony.

Zhao Huaiyin and Liu Dabao more so obtained extremely front row seats, and this caused many Return to Void Stage cultivators to become extremely jealous.

Even those who didn’t receive invitations crowded before the large screens to watch the live stream. They all abandoned their tasks at hand to watch the universal-level live stream.

The wedding was about to begin.

The Purple Star State became a world of powerful beings, and it also became a sea of joy and celebration.

Right now, the Four Nine Immortal Sect had already become the number one sect in the entire universe.

The sect disciples were all filled with vigor and happiness as they attended to the various fine details of the wedding.

On the vast Realm of the Fallen Phoenix, a territory of the Immortal Sect…

If one tossed a brick randomly, they were very likely to hit a mighty figure of the cultivation world.

On this plain, any random and adorable beast might actually be some Return to Void Stage Immortal Beast or Dao Integration Stage Mythological Beast from the ancient past.

As for God of Creation Stage divine beings, they were the most paramount mighty figures no matter where they went. Thus, they were naturally invited to a specially made resting and viewing area for VIPs.

The Heavenly Court, the Vermilion Bird Sect, the Mythological Beast Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect, and the Purple Star Imperial Family were naturally the most important of all VIPs. Apart from them, the Buddhist Kingdom of the West, the West Sea Alliance, the Holy Paradise, the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas, the Pill Tower, and some other forces were also important VIP forces.

Among them, the Dragon King of the Dragon Court was the most elated.

Xu Xiaolan had blood ties with the Dragon Tribe, and even though she treated them with indifference because of their conflict before, she had still at least sent an invitation to the Dragon Palace. Her change in attitude caused the Dragon Tribe of the Eastern Seas to become ecstatic for a very long period of time.

The entire Ao Clan of the Dragon Tribe came over to attend this wedding, wishing to see the most powerful member of the entire Dragon Tribe. This was a matter of great honor and glory for their entire tribe, and Xu Xiaolan was naturally their target for respect and reverence.

Meanwhile, An Lin’s friends from Earth were the most astounded.

Tian Lingling, Youmu, The Savior, Dongfang Xue, and other cultivators all received invitations to the wedding. Upon arriving at the Four Nine Immortal Sect, they were all transfixed with shock by the majestic grandeur of the ceremony. Their shock was even greater than that of a country bumpkin traveling to a grand metropolis. They felt as if they had traveled from a primal society into a civilized society. What was the center of the universe? What was the realm to which gods and immortals had to bow? It was here!

Any random mighty figure here could easily dominate an entire realm and become their teacher.

An Mingchuan would always dream of his son getting married.

Now, his son was finally getting married.

However, he suddenly felt some tension in his heart…

After entering the world of cultivation, this was the first time he had developed such a feeling.

Not in his wildest dreams would he have imagined sitting together and conversing with the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue. Beside him was Nuwa, who was smiling as she poured him tea…

This was something that he would never dare to even dream of.

Now, however, it was reality.

At this moment, An Mingchuan only wanted to shout…

“My son is truly bad*ss!”

Meanwhile, the wedding was already entering its prologue.

Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Birds sprinkled gorgeous feathers from the sky.

Mythological Beasts and Celestial Maidens who were responsible for performing also arrived at their positions.

“Sisters, let’s practice the Heavenly Feather Immortal Fate Dance again. During the wedding ceremony, we definitely can’t make any mistakes. We have to achieve perfection in combining our Dao Realm with our movements!” Lin Junjun shouted at her sisters. They returned to the practice stage, where they rehearsed the most brilliant dance routine of the Heavenly Court.

The other Celestial Maidens all shouted in agreement, and they proceeded to rehearse their dance with determination.

The Celestial Thearch felt both gratification and slight unhappiness as he gazed at his seven lively and energetic daughters.?Humph, these traitorous girls who favor outsiders more than me…

They hadn’t shown such care and determination when performing at his birthday feast! So be it if they had gifted An Lin money in the past. At the very least, that was to enjoy a sumptuous meal. Now, however, what were they trying so hard for…? What did they stand to gain…?

Emperor Qing Hua stroked his beard and said with a smile, “These girls are trying so hard.”

“Humph, they’re not the main performers of this wedding ceremony, yet they’re acting as if they are. They’re rehearsing with such determination and vigor,” the Celestial Thearch pursed his lips and said.

“What can they do? The Sun and Moon Dance especially prepared by the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Xiao Hong and the Moon Palace’s Chang’e is far too mesmerizing. There’s simply no way to compete with them…” Emperor Ziwei said with a sigh of emotion.

“Almost all of the most paramount beings in the universe have come to attend this ceremony. Thus, even if they’re not the main performance, they can still show their faces to everyone present. This can bring them quite some immortal opportunities, so don’t be grumpy about it,” Emperor Tian Huang—someone who usually spoke few words and showed few emotions—said with a hearty laugh.

Emperor Chang Sheng nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed. Even to us, this wedding is a grand event. Thus, we have to savor this special moment…”

While the Heavenly Emperors were chit-chatting…

A voluptuous woman in red sat upon a colossal golden snail who looked like a sculpture of golden jade. The snail slowly slithered toward the viewing stands.

“Quality check of the viewing stands, perfection.

“Check of the wedding altar, perfection.

“M-hm… Big Boss An Lin has perfectly realized everything that he planned,” the mighty snail said with a bobble of its head.

“Teehee, Holy Lord Tian Wo, let’s examine everything again,” the woman in red said with a giggle. “This is our most important project, so we definitely have to transform it into our benchmark project. There are so many supreme beings present, so this is also a good opportunity to advertise our quality and professionalism.”

“Definitely!” Holy Lord Tian Wo said with a wave of its tentacles.

The number one architect of the Tai Chu Continent carefully examined all of the various structures.

In the core region of the viewing platform…

A breathtakingly beautiful young girl with dark green hair, tangerine-colored eyes, and flourishing vitality felt slightly uneasy as she looked around at her surroundings.

She didn’t understand why she had caught An Lin’s eyes. Moreover, he had mentioned some strange things about a secret deal, splitting up some Supreme Heavenly God Power, and something about an independent miniature Heavenly Dao and reincarnation. He had then forcefully brought her over and even sent a young turtle woman to keep an eye on her…

Beside the young girl, a crowd of pet beasts was fervently attending to some matters.

Da Bai was wagging his tongue and leering at the stunningly beautiful Celestial Maidens with Xue Zhantian.

“Wow! This one is beautiful! Her figure is so great, woof!”

“Ohhh… The eyes of this woman are so mesmerizing, woof, woof, woof!”

Never before had Da Bai seen so many beauties from so many different realms and tribes. With his tongue wagging, he lay down on the floor and didn’t want to move anymore.

Xue Zhantian wasn’t as perverted as Da Bai. Right now, he was flapping his small wings and murmuring four-word idioms about a match made in heaven, joyousness, happiness, eternal loyalty, and so on. It was clear that he had fully recovered from his inability to recite idioms.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chou’s eyes were flashing on and off and sweeping here and there. They were like theater lights, and they caused the atmosphere to become even more lively and boisterous.

The stunningly beautiful Bai Yao was leaning on his side.

One of them was stunningly beautiful, and one of them was stunningly ugly. This truly attracted the gazes of many people.

Elsewhere, a sweet and gentle-looking woman in colorful clothes held a platter in her hands and handed out candy of fortune to the guests. She was none other than An Lin’s pet beast, Little Gu.

Of course, she had now changed her nickname to Little Colorful.

Meanwhile, Little Mushroom, the last member to join An Lin’s group of pet beasts, originally had different expressions on each of its ninety-nine petals. Now, however, they were all wearing wide and beaming smiles. It flashed these smiles at those beside the group of pet beasts, and as the passers-by saw its smiles, they couldn’t help but also feel a sensation of happiness.

An Lin’s group of servants was even busier.

Merlin, Cassidy, Tobias, and the other members of the Blood Tribe were all acting as bartenders.

Meanwhile, the triplets, Jin Ling, Jin Yao, and Ada, were dressed in adorable golden skirts as they acted as singers to liven the atmosphere. They used their pleasant and cheery voices to sing songs of celebration.

Elsewhere, Dong Guo and the White Scale Wolf God acted as guides for the visitors. As for the Demonic Frost Star, it was responsible for transporting goods as well as guests. It continued to drift back and forth across the sky…

An Lin’s three disciples didn’t laze around either.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu acted as dragon dancers, and they led the Azure Dragon Tribe to soar through the sky. They held radiant beads in their mouths, and they also breathed iridescent clouds into the surroundings. This was a splendid spectacle.

Ye Ling also changed out from her normal black robes, and she was now wearing a beautiful floral dress. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, and her eyes were filled with spirit as she smiled beautifully. She was like that energetic girl from next door, and she appeared extremely youthful and adorable. She was full of enthusiasm as she welcomed the visitors from Earth. Being as amiable as she was, those from Earth who hadn’t witnessed such a grand scene before felt much more at ease.

In fact, the Four Nine Immortal Sect wasn’t short of helpers.

With a single command, those in the servant group, pet beast group, or An Lin’s disciples would all be willing to rush forward to help. They wouldn’t laze around, especially since this was the wedding of their favorite person. They wanted to participate, and they enjoyed being involved.

If anyone dared to steal these tasks from them, they would instead turn around to fight with that person…

“Wow, look at that person! He’s so handsome! Who is he?” a female human representative from the Realm of Stars exclaimed. Her heart fluttered as she gazed at that handsome man who had a gentle gaze.

This man was seemingly welcoming the human guests, and he wore a beaming and infectious smile.

“Heh, stop dreaming. He’s Xuanyuan Cheng, the Pavilion Lord of the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Spirit Pavilion! Do you see the shapely woman beside him? That’s Xuanyuan Cheng’s Dao partner, Shu Honglan!” a female cultivator whispered to the Celestial Maiden who had made the remark.

“Sigh… So he’s already taken…” the Celestial Maiden said with a sigh of disappointment.

Sure enough, the male cultivators of the Four Nine Immortal Sect were all extremely popular. They had to be careful who they fangirled over. Upon thinking of this, her mind couldn’t help but wander to that most popular man in the entire universe. From today onward, he would also be taken…

However, everyone viewed this as the most perfect conclusion.

No one dared to question this match, and no one dared to say that they were worthy of him.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were truly a match made in heaven.

Anyhow, Xuanyuan Cheng could definitely be considered as the poster boy for all male cultivators. Just by standing there, he could already draw countless gazes. If it weren’t for Shu Honglan standing guard beside him, Xuanyuan Cheng would have perhaps been surrounded by countless Celestial Maidens asking for a conversation and asking for his contact details already…

“I’m so jealous of Xuanyuan Cheng… He’s clearly got a Dao partner already, yet he can still receive so much attention,” Tang Ximen said with emotion as he glanced at the female cultivators who were constantly stealing glances at Xuanyuan Cheng.

Wang Xuanzhan patted Tang Ximen’s shoulder, and there was a resolute expression on his sculpted face as he said, “Cultivators… don’t necessarily need women!”

Tang Ximen: “… But I feel extremely lonely.”

“Men… are also fine!” Wang Xuanzhan said with a solemn expression.

Tang Ximen’s dazed expression gradually transformed into one of shock and disbelief. He then quickly wriggled free from Wang Xuanzhan’s hand, which was resting on his shoulder, and he leaped aside as quickly as he could. “Senior Wang, please spare me! I’m not into this fetish!”

Wang Xuanzhan’s expression darkened, and he said, “What in the world are you saying? I was talking about brotherly relationships, passionate brotherly relationships! This can also fill the void in your heart!”

“Yes, yes, yes, you’re correct. Oh, that’s right, I still have some important matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!” Tang Ximen said before speeding off into the distance, leaving a dark-faced Wang Xuanzhan.

“Gather around, everyone, the wedding ceremony is about to begin!” the Ancient Dragon Empress shouted at the members of the Heaven Crushing Sect. They all walked toward an extremely good area of the viewing platform.

Chen Chen and Xue Yan were also among them, and they were more so sitting at the same table.

Xue Yan’s face was flushed red, and she would occasionally steal a glance at Chen Chen. Meanwhile, Chen Chen wore a serious expression as he watched the lively performances nearby.

Time slowly passed.

Boom, boom, boom…

Boom, boom, boom!

The celebratory cannons started to go off.

At the same time, bursts of resplendent ice and fire exploded in the sky.

The fireworks of ice and water sent a wave of excitement through the crowd.

Led by Shangguan Yi, Meng Zhi, Yan Hua, and the others, hundreds of snow maidens then trod across drifting snow and into the sky. As their graceful blue sleeves danced across the air, countless beautiful ice crystals bloomed in the sky. This was a delightful performance.

At the same time, hundreds of disciples from the Vermilion Bird Sect who were led by Mo Hai, Lan Yan, Yang Yuan, Lu Jiazhi, and the others unleashed bursts of colorful flaming flowers into the sky. These flowers intertwined and fought for beauty with the flowers of ice.

This was a spectacular display of ice and fire.

This was also an iconic sight marking the end of their hostilities and the beginning of their friendship.

As a legendary God of Creation Stage divine being, the Ice Matriarch also personally stepped forward to perform. This drew endless words of praise from the guests. They were astounded, and they finally experienced first-hand the grandeur and might of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

Shangguan Yi stood atop the clouds, with her blue dress billowing in the wind. She was like a fairy who had walked out from amid the snow. Her eyes were gazing into the distance, and she wore a mesmerizing smile as she waved the staff in her hands. With her crisp and pleasant voice, she announced, “Next, let us welcome the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect and the groom of today’s wedding, An Lin!”

Upon hearing this announcement, all of the guests erupted in fervor and excitement!

Regardless of whether they were ordinary cultivators or supreme beings who ruled over an entire realm, everyone stood up to give their heartfelt applause. In fact, some Celestial Maidens even started to squeal in excitement.

Pure and beautiful white was the main color of the altar. Under the watchful gazes of everyone, a man slowly descended upon this altar on a seven-colored cloud.

He was none other than the groom of today’s wedding, An Lin.

An Lin was dressed in a large red robe that symbolized fortune and festivity, and there was also an exquisite black immortal crown that was decorated with golden patterns sitting on his head. He was standing tall and proud, and there was a hint of extreme eagerness on his warm and smiling face. Upon seeing so many people squealing for him and giving him their blessings, he couldn’t help but reveal a rare hint of shyness.

“Look, Your Majesty, that’s the underling whom you once accepted. He even saved the entire universe! Impressive, huh?” Liu Qianhuan, who was dressed in blue and white sorceress robes, said with a smile to an adorable young girl who was wearing a royal crown.

“How outstanding… At that time, I actually took a paramount being as my underling!” The young girl clicked her tongue in wonder and slight disbelief as she looked at the unimaginably dazzling man. However, upon recalling his farewell to her, she couldn’t help but smile.

Beside the grand path that led to the altar, the seven Celestial Maidens started to perform their exquisite and well-rehearsed dance. The Spirit Maiden and Tian Yi more so stood beside them to provide heavenly immortal music, singing moving songs that could even trigger countless phenomena of heaven and earth.

Regardless of whether it was the Divine Mirror Continent or the myriad of other realms, large symbols of?“囍1” appeared in the skies above all of them.

The wedding had officially begun!

“Now, please allow our groom to invite the bride, Xu Xiaolan, to the altar!” Shangguan Yi announced.

At this instant, dragons howled and phoenixes cried.

Xiao Ze and the phoenix, Xiao Huang, swooped through the sky.

Like rain and like mists, the most beautiful petals slowly drifted from the sky.

Standing on the pure altar and gazing at the nearby bride’s room that rested at the end of the grand path, An Lin slightly curled his finger. A red string materialized on the ring finger of his left hand, and this red string then slowly swam along the splendid path and into the bride’s room.

It was as if this red string were joining the fate and destinies of two people. One party had already delivered the red string, and he was waiting for the other party to reply. At this moment, it was as if no one was paying any attention to the dragons and phoenixes or the surrounding dances. Everyone was filled with anticipation as they gazed at the red string.

Inside the bride’s room.

The woman dazedly stared at her own reflection in the mirror.

She was breathtakingly beautiful today.

It was impossible to find any woman more beautiful than her in the world.

However, she was still feeling anxious, and she was still feeling fidgety.

What if An Lin didn’t like her makeup?

Was her makeup truly perfect? Was there still any room for improvement?

“Is it… truly okay?” Xu Xiaolan murmured to herself.

“As the most perfect human, I guarantee that there’s no problem!” Bai Ling, the makeup artist, said with confidence. “There’s no need to be doubtful. You’re the most beautiful woman in the entire universe!”

Xu Xiaolan’s lashes shuddered upon hearing this, and she felt slightly more reassured. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She discovered that she was extremely tense and nervous at this moment. Everything had already been prepared, yet her heartbeat was still extremely quick. Her smile could clearly mesmerize all beings, and her beauty could clearly conceal any imperfections, yet she still felt extremely unconvinced…

Her slender and jade-like fingers lightly brushed against her pale and delicate face. As she blinked, her watery eyes were as mesmerizing as could be. They were beautiful enough to send waves through the deepest depths of one’s heart.

She was wearing a phoenix-like headdress and a stunning red bridal dress. Her lips were soft and supple, and her eyes were bright and radiant.

Indeed, she was flawless in her beauty.

At this moment, a red string slowly entered the bride’s chamber and stopped by Xu Xiaolan’s finger. It slightly coiled around itself, and it was as if it were asking for Xu Xiaolan’s finger.

Xu Xiaolan couldn’t help but smile upon seeing this.

If this smile were seen by someone, perhaps they would be transfixed with intoxication for a long while.

“It’s time to head out,” Bai Ling said with a smile.

Xu Xiaolan gave a faint nod. She reached over with her slender hands, and she tied the red string around the ring finger of her left hand.

She took a deep breath and looked at the billowing red curtain. Behind that curtain, a man was waiting for her.

An Lin is probably also feeling extremely nervous, right?

She imagined An Lin’s nervous expression.

A smile tugged at her lips, and a sense of boundless warmth appeared in her eyes. She then stood up and walked toward the door!

Thunderous cheers swept across the viewing stands.

Xu Xiaolan pushed the red curtains aside and appeared before everyone.

She was wearing a faint smile, and as she looked toward the altar, she locked eyes with the man in red. At this moment, both of their hearts fluttered.

An Lin was also smiling, yet the rims of his eyes suddenly reddened.

Xu Xiaolan forcefully suppressed her churning emotions, and she told herself not to cry. If she cried, it was possible that her makeup would be ruined. At this most blessed and most splendid moment, she definitely couldn’t cry.

Under everyone’s blessing, and amid immortal music and iridescent lights, she took graceful yet heavy steps toward An Lin.

At this moment, a piece of red string was connecting their ring fingers together.

This red string became shorter and shorter, and the distance between the two people became lesser and lesser.

Even though there were dancing Celestial Maidens, and even though there were countless Immortal Beasts and Mythological Beasts glowing with divine light, none of them could cover the grace and elegance of Xu Xiaolan. At this moment, her beauty was far too mesmerizing. As they gazed at her, even the heartbeats of female cultivators quickened. In fact, they even forgot to breathe.

She was definitely a divine maiden of unsurpassed elegance and beauty who could intoxicate all beings.

In her eyes, however, there was only a single person—An Lin.

She continued to walk forward. However, as she gazed at the man on the altar, sparkling tears involuntarily rolled down her cheeks. These tears pitter-pattered down onto the lush red carpet beneath her feet. She had promised herself not to cry, yet after such a short time, she had already embarrassed herself before the entire universe…

Standing beside the grand path, Lan Xiaoni was holding onto the bubble wand that An Lin had given her and blowing dreamy and illusory bubbles. These bubbles caused this scene to appear even more beautiful and romantic.

Upon seeing Xu Xiaolan shed tears, the eyes of many other people also reddened in emotion.

In fact, tears were already streaking down Su Qianyun’s face. She had witnessed almost all of An Lin’s and Xu Xiaolan’s struggles, so she understood just how difficult it had been for them to reach this step. She also understood just how wonderful and magnificent this moment was for them.

At some point in time, Xu Xiaolan had already arrived before An Lin. Following the guide of the red string, she placed her hands into his. Their fingers locked together, and the red string fused into their palms.

Thunderous cheers and words of blessing flowed forth from the viewing stands again.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan gazed deep into each other’s eyes. Their hands were locked together, and their connected figure appeared so perfect and harmonious. It was as if they were an eternal painting.

Shangguan Yi descended from the sky, and she continued to fulfill her role as the master of this ceremony.

After all, the bride and groom still needed to complete their formal bows and worships.

Never in her wildest dreams had Shangguan Yi imagined that someone as unfortunate as herself would actually become the master of ceremonies for such a magnificent wedding. It could be said that this was a display of utmost trust.

Shangguan Yi was extremely serious about this, and after saying some introductory words, she finally moved on to the most important step of the wedding ceremony—worshipping!

Indeed, even when immortals became Dao partners, they still had to abide by this tradition.

Shangguan Yi cleared her throat and said with a dignified expression, “Next, the bride and groom shall complete their worships… The first bow is to heaven and earth!”

Upon hearing this, both An Lin and Xu Xiaolan turned toward some direction.

Before the wedding altar…

An extremely slender and lively fairy was smiling joyfully as she gazed at the two people.

Upon realizing that the two people were about to bow at her, she flapped her golden wings and tried her best to put on a dignified expression of the heavens.

Indeed, she was none other than Tina!

She was Tina, the fairy who willingly sacrificed herself for An Lin and became the Heavenly Dao!

However, she didn’t die.

While becoming the Heavenly Dao, she found a new path and directly offloaded the Supreme Heavenly Earth Power to An Lin. She used the Divine Mirror Heavenly Dao to forcefully replace the Tai Chu Heavenly Dao. By doing so, she managed to retain her awareness and existence. She had successfully become the paramount Heavenly Dao while maintaining her own awareness and lifeform.

This was all thanks to the powerful nature of her Divine Mirror World, as well as the support of the complete Heavenly Books from the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.

Tina was currently creating a new universe, and she was creating a miracle with no precedent. She had exceeded the legends of all God of Creation Stage divine beings, and she had even managed to erase the Tai Chu Barrier erected by Pangu.

If it weren’t for her, this wedding wouldn’t have caused such a huge commotion throughout the universe either… This was completely a result of her whim. She was all-powerful, so she had acted as she pleased.

It was thanks to her that An Lin and Xu Xiaolan could experience the joy of today.

Thus, they were extremely willing and happy to perform this bow.

They held hands, and they bowed deeply at the fairy in unison.

Tina was extremely flustered, and her heart was racing at one thousand miles an hour.

Master is actually bowing at one of his pet beasts??she exclaimed in her mind.

No, even though this feels amazing…

It isn’t reasonable at all! Not at all!

With this in mind, Tina also bowed at An Lin and Xu Xiaolan with a flustered expression.

Everyone—even the God of Creation Stage divine beings—was stunned upon seeing this.

Holy f*ck! What’s going on?! Tina is also bowing at An Lin and Xu Xiaolan?

“When others bow to heaven and earth, they’re truly bowing to heaven and earth.

“When An Lin and Xu Xiaolan bow to heaven and earth, however… Not only is heaven and earth materializing before them, but it’s even returning a bow to them… I’ve got to say… this is truly a remarkable scene…” Daolord Lu Ya exclaimed. He became increasingly certain that An Lin was a paramount being who he couldn’t provoke…

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were also dumbfounded upon seeing Tina’s reaction. Tina looked up, and she shot a slightly embarrassed and uneasy glare at them.

The ceremony had seemingly gone astray…

Things had… seemingly been stuffed up?

“Hahaha…!” An Lin was the first to burst into laughter.

“Waah… Giant An Lin, Sister Xiaolan…

“I’m truly so sorry. I was unable to compose myself. After all, how can you bow to me…? This is truly testing my heart…” Tina pursed her lips and said with an apologetic and slightly aggrieved expression.

“Hmm? What are you saying?” Xu Xiaolan said as she stroked Tina’s soft golden hair. She smiled and continued, “We’ll perform our bows, and you can perform yours. There’s no conflict here, am I right?”

Tina blinked in puzzlement before nodding and saying, “That… seems to be correct.”

The three of them exchanged a glance before bursting into laughter.

As they exchanged glances, they all understood each other’s thoughts.

Everything was still the same as before…

How marvelous…

“The second bow is to your parents!” Shangguan Yi said with a smile. However, her heart was filled with grief and self-criticism.

Sure enough, things still went awry. It’s all my fault…

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan held hands as they turned around to face An Mingchuan and Zhu Xuze, who were sitting above the altar. They bowed deeply toward them.

The rims of An Mingchuan’s and Zhu Xuze’s eyes were red with emotion, and they both put on the demeanor of elders as they smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

They both watched An Lin and Xu Xiaolan grow up. From small and unknowing children, they had already grown up and were now getting married. They couldn’t help but sigh with emotion in their minds.

In their eyes, An Lin wasn’t the number one Battle God of the universe. Similarly, Xu Xiaolan wasn’t a peerless Celestial Maiden who had reached the God of Creation Stage with two essential powers. Instead, this couple was merely children who they had watched over as they grew up. Now, they were finally able to find their own happiness. This was truly a cause for celebration…

“The final bow is between bride and groom!” Shangguan Yi announced in a loud voice.

Both sun and moon hung high in the sky at the same time.

The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and there was also a backdrop of twinkling stars.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan exchanged a glance, and they could both see the joy and eager anticipation in each other’s eyes.

They would accompany each other forever.

They would live together with Dao for all eternity.

Amid the rain of petals, and under the brilliant sun and moon summoned by Xiao Hong and Chang’e, the two of them bowed deeply toward each other!

The promise between them—the promise of one hundred years—was finally fulfilled at this moment.

This bow represented the infinite blessings and promises between An Lin and Xu Xiaolan. To meet such a partner in their life, this was truly a blessing.

Regardless of whether it was the guests who were present…

Regardless of whether it was the people who were watching on the live streams…

At this moment, cheers and applause soared through the heavens.

Countless sincere blessings and countless gazes of envy all gathered upon that couple who was blessed by the heavens…

A sweet smile spread across Shangguan Yi’s face.

The wedding has finished with perfection…

Everything has gone smoothly.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly traveled over.

“Kiss!

“Kiss!”

Tina suddenly shouted in excitement.

Even the heavens were shouting this, so the guests naturally chimed in. They all started to shout, “Kiss, kiss…!”

“If you don’t kiss, then you’re a small dog, woof!” Da Bai barked in excitement. His words drew laughter from many people around him.

An Lin naturally heard Da Bai’s bark as well, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.

If he didn’t kiss, then he was a small dog?

However, this mattered not. After all, An Lin would definitely kiss the bride.

At the very least, this was what everyone thought.

However, An Lin suddenly opened his mouth and… “Woof, woof, woof!”

The boisterous surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Why was he suddenly barking like a dog?

He would rather become a dog than kiss the bride?

The Rabbit Maiden had still been squeaking like a rabbit just then, yet she suddenly fell silent.

Da Bai was also stupefied. Just what in the world was going on?

Shangguan Yi was more so pushed to the verge of tears. What on earth was An Lin doing? Was he regretting this marriage? What should she do? She didn’t know how to deal with such a situation!

Waah… It’s all my fault…

Being the goddess of misfortune that I am, I shouldn’t have agreed to become the master of ceremonies…

Xu Xiaolan faltered upon hearing this. However, when she saw An Lin’s gentle expression, she suddenly recalled their first meeting with each other, their meeting at the gates of The United University of Cultivation.

They had both been filled with youth and energy, and they had both been looking forward to a bright and exciting future.

An Lin had been clueless about cultivation.

Xu Xiaolan had been a bright and cheerful young woman.

The two of them had met at that most beautiful moment. However, they had faced the awkwardness of a language barrier.

At that time, An Lin had suddenly barked like a dog, and Xu Xiaolan had been fearful that she had come across a Dog Spirit.

That was…

The beginning of their story.

At that time, neither of them realized.

Neither of them realized that they had come across their soul companion…

This was a small secret shared between the two of them.

Time flew by, yet it was as if that were yesterday.

That was the beginning of their story.

Now, they were about to embark on a new chapter of life…

At the scene of the wedding.

Everyone was astonished and flustered.

However, Xu Xiaolan suddenly smiled. Her smile was extremely sweet. She understood An Lin’s intention, and her voice also became incredibly gentle. “Woof, woof…”

Everyone’s jaw fell to the ground.

“I also love you, Dog Spirit… Husband…”

The woman closed her eyes. She then leaned forward and passionately kissed the man before her…

This moment…

Became one of eternity.
