Chapter 139 Joyful Heaven's Prestige
There are still a few days until the opening of the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" event.

Sects located in remote areas set off early and have generally arrived one after another.

The three sects closest to Tianchi—Huanxitian, Suling Valley, and Yuqing Island—arrived last.

A rainbow bridge arches across the sky, and colorful phoenixes pull a fragrant carriage as they appear, followed by a shower of petals—a dreamlike and breathtaking spectacle.

"What a grand display! Must be the people from the Joyful Heaven arriving?"

"Look at the way they made their entrance, they're really stealing the show!"

“Originally, our sword cultivators could have made an even more impressive entrance…”

"Senior brother is overthinking it. How close is Huanxi Heaven to Tianchi? How far is our sect from Tianchi?"

A phoenix-shaped carriage hovered in mid-air, and a group of beautiful women dressed in rosy robes slowly descended across the rainbow bridge.

The woman at the head of the group had her hair tied up high, with a nine-phoenix, pearl-encircled, gilded hairpin tucked into her hair at a side, and her clothes were adorned with jingling ornaments, exuding elegance and nobility.

Huanxitian is located very close to Tianchi, so this trip is not considered a long journey. Therefore, only a highly skilled elder came to oversee the situation.

Behind the Jade Coin Goddess stood a group of women, some plump, some slender, all exceptionally beautiful. Unlike the uniform attire of the various immortal sects, the Joyful Heavenly Maidens' robes were in a variety of colors—blue, red, yellow, and white—light and flowing, creating a stunning sight simply by standing there!
Compared to their dresses, the girls' attire was relatively simple and elegant. Their jet-black hair was basically unadorned with any beads or ornaments, and even the jade hairpins and flower hair ornaments they wore looked more like magical artifacts.

Many disciples from various sects stared wide-eyed.

The Joyful Heavenly Lord cultivates the Way of Yin and Yang and illusion magic. She worships the Joyful Buddha. The female disciples in the sect are always passionate and cheerful. For them, a Daoist partner is someone who is suitable to be together, and someone who is not suitable to be separated.

To put it simply, a single encounter, like the golden autumn breeze and jade dew, is enough.

Of course, there are also disciples who choose only one Daoist partner for their entire lives. The sect leader of Huanxi Heaven is very open-minded and will not interfere with his disciples' choices.

A step behind Cui Qian Yuanjun was a graceful woman with a beautiful face, stunningly beautiful, with a smiling face and an indescribable charm.

The woman was Qin Mei, the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Heaven. Ning Fusang had met her before in the Twin Heavens Spirit Realm.

"Years have passed since we parted, yet the bond between Sect Leader Shen and True Person Xueyou remains as strong as ever. They are inseparable, a truly enviable relationship," said Cuiqian Yuanjun with a smile.

She attended their marriage ceremony at the Southern Star Sword Sect years ago, and that was when they last met.

It's no exaggeration to say that many years have passed since we last met.

Snowflakes were falling outside. The sect leader of Mingdao Pavilion said, "There's no rush to reminisce. Let's all go inside and talk."

Sect Master Lu of the Autumn Frost Sword Sect chuckled and said, "Sect Leader Shen and True Person Xueyou are such a loving couple. Thinking back to their marriage ceremony back then, how lively it was! I wonder when our Lingzhou will have such a joyous occasion again."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Duanmu Meiqing knew what he was up to. Sure enough, soon someone with no sense of propriety said, "I heard that the disciple of Sect Leader Shen, the fiancé of Fairy Yu Rong, has also joined the Southern Star Sword Sect. Since Sect Leader Shen is the master of Nephew Jinzhen, he is also like a father to him. Why don't you take charge for the two juniors and hold a ceremony to announce their marriage to Heaven and Earth?"

The fact that Li Jinzhen has a mortal husband is something that has been heard, to varying degrees, by all the major immortal sects.

Apart from the monks of Kongyun Temple, the sect leaders of the other immortal sects couldn't help but look curiously at Shen Hongxue and Duanmu Meiqing.

They had only heard about it, but now that someone has brought it into the open, it's not unreasonable for them to enjoy the gossip and watch the drama unfold, is it?
Duanmu Meiqing's anger surged, but Shen Hongxue held her hand and smiled at everyone, saying, "Jinzhen is a very sincere and kind-hearted child. However, as an elder, I hope she won't neglect her cultivation. Therefore, I will temporarily play the villain and suppress the matter between the two of them. We will discuss this matter again after she enters the Knowledge Realm." Immediately, everyone fell silent.

Shen Hongxue, that old fox, was implying in every word that although you attacked my disciple, my disciple was at the ninth level of the cultivation realm.

Tell me, how many people in Yuling Prefecture are at the ninth level of cultivation? Besides, my disciple is a woman of deep feelings and loyalty, what is there to criticize? She and that mortal boy did not become lovers, it was I, Shen Hongxue, who played the villain and suppressed them. If you have any complaints, come at me, Shen Hongxue!
Furthermore, my Southern Star Sword Sect has no intention of breaking the contract in a heartless and unjust manner. Regarding the ceremony you asked about, my Southern Star Sword Sect has given a clear answer.

Once Li Jinzhen enters the Realm of Knowledge, even if she marries a mortal boy, no one else will be able to gloat.

Why?

Still for that reason.

She is a Zhijing, a very young Zhijing, a prodigy who can overwhelm all the major immortal sects.

Cui Qian Yuanjun covered her mouth and chuckled softly, thinking to herself, "Shen Hongxue, that old fox, is as cunning as ever. With just a few words, she has rendered everyone speechless."

They probably don't know whether they should hope that Li Jinzhen and that mortal boy will become partners sooner or later.

At least Sect Master Lu of the Autumn Frost Sword Sect looked noticeably uglier.

He has a daughter who, along with Li Jinzhen, is known as one of the "Twin Beauties of Swordsmanship." However, she is always overshadowed by Li Jinzhen. If Li Jinzhen were to enter the Realm of Knowledge much faster than his daughter, he fears he might lose the title of "Twin Beauties of Swordsmanship."

At that time, in Beiyu Lingzhou, everyone will only know that the number one swordsman of the younger generation is Li Jinzhen of the Nanxing Sword Sect, but will not know Lu Ningxiang of the Qiushuang Sword Sect!

Wei Shaoqing, an ordinary man, will actually become an asset to Li Jinzhen, allowing him to gain both fame and fortune.

Sword cultivators who are compassionate and righteous are always more touching.

The man who had spoken earlier chuckled twice and added, "Nephew Jinzhen, you are exceptionally talented. I'm sure you'll reach the Knowledge Realm soon and lead the sword path of Lingzhou."

Duanmu Mei gave a cold snort, not giving her a friendly look.

Shen Hongxue didn't reply, leaving the man feeling increasingly awkward.

Seeing that his wife was still angry, he secretly sent a telepathic message to soothe her: "Why bother with such a person, Madam? Once the Mirror Flower Water Moon opens, have my sect's disciples eliminate all the people from his sect first. Would that make you feel better?"

Shen Hongxue is capable of doing things openly and honestly, and she's quite skilled at it.

Duanmu Meiqing's lips slowly curved into a smile: "What my husband says makes a lot of sense."

Upon returning, she immediately convened a meeting with her own sect members. In the Mirror Flower Water Moon, whenever she encountered anyone from the Rain Sect, she would immediately unleash the Mirror Flower Water Moon without hesitation.

The poor disciples of the Rain Sect were unaware that before the Mirror Flower Water Moon had even been activated, they had already been tricked by their own sect leader.

Shen Hongxue wasn't just talking; the Rain Sect Master's foul mouth was most likely instigated by the Autumn Frost Sword Sect. If they didn't teach him a lesson, would he really think the Southern Star Sword Sect's swords were just decorations?
After the chat, Shen Hongxue instructed the accompanying teachers to inform the disciples of the sect who were participating in the Mirror Flower Water Moon event about the matter.

Although I don't know why the sect leader gave such an instruction, I'll just do it anyway.
