The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 149 Kunpeng True Technique, Royal Marriage

In the Nanling Mountains, the ancient secret realm of the Heavenly Demon was unearthed, with the remains of a Kunpeng lying among them, a testament to the passage of time.

After glancing at the withered divine seed handed to him by Xu Kun, Wang Hongwu accepted it. Even his Heavenly Eye couldn't quite discern its type, but he was certain that it was different from the immortal seeds that evolved from his five secret realms.

"After the five great secret realms, if I were to entrust them with divine seeds and transform them into new secret realms, would that be feasible? Or, would it help to improve my strength by treating them as new secret realms and refining them with me?"

With his thoughts wandering, Wang Hongwu couldn't help but ponder. This might not be a bad path, and he could try it. It would just require time to study, but with the help of the Dao traces of the emperors in the Imperial Ruins Realm and the boost to his comprehension from the Divine Forbidden Word Secret, he could indeed gradually deduce it.

Once successful, the divine seed can be transformed into a secret realm, allowing one to utilize its divine power and unleash countless paths, truly extraordinary.

Xu Kun, who received the divine seed, didn't think too much about it. He simply said, "I had a fortuitous encounter in the secret realm and received the inheritance of the Kunpeng clan's predecessors. My bloodline has undergone a transformation and is now fully developed. Perhaps it can also be called a special physique."

Before he left, he was a powerful figure, but now he is a fully-fledged king, which is quite different from his predecessors. He is only one step behind the top figures among the ancient royal heirs.

Moreover, his father, the Great Sage Duanmu, is in the Ziwei Sect, guiding and protecting him, so he will grow up quickly; while his mother, the Great Sage Kunpeng, went into the depths of the universe after the initial spaceship left Ziwei and has not returned to this day. Otherwise, she would have come out to help during the battle in the underworld. Xu Kun took his mother's surname, but now he seems to want to change back to the Duanmu surname.

"Gentlemen, you have come from afar. Now that you have entered Nanling, why not have a chat, so that we can show you some hospitality?" Just then, the great demons of the Nanling demon clan arrived. The first one, a great demon saint with a face full of wrinkles, cupped his hands and extended an invitation to the three of them.

Xuan Yin Dasheng did not respond, but looked at Wang Hongwu, the current leader of the Ziwei Sect, who then nodded slightly and said, "Speak."

Upon hearing this, the demons breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared most was that the Ziwei Sect would act unreasonably and launch a direct attack to carry out a large-scale purge. Fortunately, this royal family was not as violent as rumored.

"We have also heard about the Nanling incident. We have no objection to the rule of the Ziwei Sect. We just hope that in the future our clan can freely enter and leave other major regions, without having to be someone's mount or slave."

The old demons here were also decisive, directly expressing their surrender and willingness to join the Ziwei Sect. Becoming a member of the alliance was better than being a slave. All they had to do was pay tribute regularly and obey orders. In any case, the Nanling Mountains were so vast that their clan could never exhaust all the resources. The Ziwei Sect's coming to mine wouldn't affect anything. It was a win-win situation.

The Heavenly Demon King remained calm. This outcome had been discussed long ago, and the demon race had even considered arranging a marriage between her and the Ziwei Sect Master, since they had always heard that he was not yet married.

"That's fine, it saves us from a major conflict. The Southern Ridge Demon Clan will remain as it is, and tomorrow the Ziwei Sect will come to take over. You can go to whichever region you wish to reside in." Seeing that they were sensible, Wang Hongwu didn't say anything more, and everything remained the same. He then left with Xu Kun.

All that remained was his Daoist self, who then journeyed deep into the Southern Ridge to the location of one of the five great altars.

Expanding territory is not just about competing for resources. More importantly, there is the Five-Colored Altar hidden in the center of the Five Domains. It contains the remains of the ancient Celestial Venerable, the original essence of the Chaos Body, and even the altar itself has been refined into a huge killing array.

If he could master these things, it would greatly enhance both him and the Ziwei Sect.

As I searched for the Dao, I gradually arrived at the center of the Southern Ridge. If viewed from above, it would resemble an altar, monochromatic in color, with surging undercurrents flowing through it.

He descended, piercing through the earth's surface, and arrived at a primordial land, like a sea of ​​qi before the creation of heaven and earth, rising and falling, with mist surging and chaotic energy spreading in every place he stepped on.

"It's not just the work of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable; later generations also added to it, trying to make it their own. It has the aura of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Daoist charm of the Qilin Ancient Emperor. They all refined it." Wang Hongwu's expression shifted as he recalled the seven supreme beings who attacked the path to immortality in later generations. It was mostly a joint effort by them, but now only a few of them remain.

The next moment, he tried to slightly touch the array patterns here, and a mysterious fluctuation was transmitted outwards. It was invisible to outsiders, but the altars deep in the five continents of Zhongzhou, Beiyuan, Nanling, Ximo, and Donghuang all glowed, turning into five-colored altars, and then evolving into a huge magic array.

The five continents glowed, gathering the power of the primordial universe, attracting fragments and essences of the Great Dao from all directions, and constructing a vast immortal array. Its terrifying power made Wang Hongwu change color on the spot. No wonder it was regarded as one of the reliance for attacking the path to immortality. Some people even speculated in the past that this was an array that could make people fly to immortality all over the world. It was enough to shock the world and could threaten the Supreme Being. It was unparalleled.

"If we can master this power, we will have a means to fight back even if something really changes in this era. Let's have the Holy Emperor come." After much thought, he thought of the Undying Mountain, the Heavenly God Mountain Range, and other forbidden zones of life, and finally chose to summon the Holy Emperor's divine thoughts.

Given its ability to suppress those who are about to attain enlightenment, and combined with the Sun Emperor Tower, it is still possible to complete the layout of the Five-Colored Altar.

His true form arrived at the location of the Kunpeng corpse. After some investigation, he deduced that this might be the remnant of the former Kunpeng nest, which a descendant of Kunpeng found, transformed into a sacred site, and brought the Big Dipper.
"Huh, this secret realm actually has the aura of that planet? Where did you find it?" Xuan Yin Great Sage was taken aback, realizing something, and waved his hand to create a light blue star, which was not far from Ziwei, and even next to Yinghuo, and was once the hometown of that ancient Heavenly Court Lord.

Earth? Upon hearing this, Wang Hongwu suddenly realized that it was the most important region of the former Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the Kunpeng Nest was located in that vast region, so its appearance was not surprising.

Soon, he arrived in front of the Kunpeng corpse. The sacrificial bowl at his waist lit up again after a long time. The essence of the saints he had collected in the battle of Ziwei burned and boiled, instantly causing the power within the corpse to return to its ancestral form, and deducing the ancient inheritance contained in the bloodline.

As one of the Ten Fiends, the Kunpeng Treasure Technique can evolve into the forms of Kun and Peng, mastering the subtleties of Yin and Yang transformations, and containing the power of Taiyin and Taiyang, which is naturally very suitable for him who cultivates both Yin and Yang.

At this moment, under the restoration of the sacrificial bowl, thousands of symbols surged from the Kunpeng's corpse. Half of them were golden light that tore through the void, and the other half were dark light like a black abyss. They were arranged together, and then all the symbols rang out and quickly combined to form a Kunpeng. This supreme ancient bird seemed to have a life of its own, looking down on all the gods and suppressing the ancient times. Its majesty was extreme.

Then, as the deduction proceeded, one symbol after another danced here, transforming into a rain of light, into a roc, into a kun fish, undulating and rising in the void, revealing all the laws, and then suddenly pounced over, reorganizing on Wang Hongwu's body.

Wang Hongwu calmed his mind and comprehended the secrets. His body was radiant with golden light, dazzlingly bright. Then, dark light appeared, strands of which were reflected in the gold and transformed into patterns. From this, he obtained three profound techniques: Kunpeng Fist, Ten Thousand Swords Furnace, and Kunpeng Sky-Soaring Technique.

If one finds the remnants of the Kunpeng and completes the transformation using the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique, one can obtain the ten fierce characteristics of the Kunpeng, evolve the Kunpeng wings, and possess the legendary Kunpeng speed, which would be a far more terrifying method than the Xingzi Secret Technique.

Then, he experimented with the true technique. The moment he activated the Kunpeng Fist, the Sun Mother Scripture and the Moon Mother Scripture were naturally activated. The two merged into one, and the Yin and Yang divine transformation occurred. Suddenly, a Moon Kunyu and a Sun Golden Peng were unleashed. The two intertwined and merged into one, transforming into a Kunpeng carrying the Yin-Yang Diagram on its back. It broke through the heavens and pierced through the nine stars.

It can be said that this is the move that best suits his fellow practitioner of the Mother Scripture, and can perfectly unleash the power of Yin and Yang in one, surpassing the power of his use of a single one of the Nine Secrets.

"This Kunpeng Technique is truly exceptionally suitable for the two mother scriptures." Wang Hongwu exclaimed, as he constructed the Kunpeng True Technique from the two mother scriptures and activated it. With a clang, a layer of black gold armor appeared on his body, with 100,000 golden feathers floating in the air one by one.

This is the evolution of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique. All the feathers are divine swords. Then, the 100,000 feather swords expand rapidly at this moment. Each one is as huge as a mountain. When they fall, they do not chop, but smash. They intertwine with each other and cover the universe. From swords to laws, they are formed into a furnace!

Once the Sword Furnace Secret Technique was revealed, Wang Hongwu discovered that this move could be used in conjunction with the Heavenly Will Blade and the Yuanhuang Dao Sword to trap and subdue the enemy; it could also be used in conjunction with the Lin Character Secret Technique to suppress space and carry out an inescapable strangulation.

The final Kunpeng Sky-Soaring Technique lived up to its name. Once activated, it displayed the majestic grandeur of a Kunpeng soaring ninety thousand miles into the sky. Its fists were like the heavens, suppressing all spirits, and its palms were like seals, commanding the world. It also naturally formed the divine form of the Kunpeng, saving him the time of comprehending and evolving it.

When Wang Hongwu ended his seclusion, Nanling was also incorporated into the Ziwei Sect.

The Changsheng Temple was very interested in this place and sent many disciples to explore it. Xu Kun, who returned, served as the deputy leader and led the demons of Nanling. Because he possessed the bloodline of Kunpeng, the demons accepted him very well and honored him as the Lord of Kunpeng Palace.

"After finishing up this matter, it's time to leave. The Golden Ancient Road, that's the most exciting training ground." He headed towards the Central Continent, his thoughts already drifting to the heavens, ready to embark on that strongest training road that has existed since the age of mythology.

At the same time, within the Heavenly God Mountain Range, the voice of the Holy Spirit Great Ancestor rang out: "That person has left, gone to the Southern Ridge, and is no longer keeping an eye on this place."

"The divine will of the former Holy Emperor still lingers, nourished by the immortal fire and his remnant body. There's no need to waste our energy fighting him. If we really fight to the death, he can reclaim the Dao Fruit of his past life, and we'll be at a great disadvantage. Don't fight for a moment's pride." Another voice rang out, very indifferent.

The first person did not deny it, but instead focused his gaze on a piece of immortal gold stone embryo in the center of the Heavenly Palace and said, "When they sent that immortal embryo here, they intended for us to nurture it and help it be reborn. However, this descendant is indeed very much to our liking."

“It’s no harm to nurture them. They can rise to prominence in the future, fight against the Ziwei Sect Leader, and succeed us. What’s wrong with that?” The second person was quite open-minded. Back then, the Holy Domain sent the most important Immortal Golden Holy Embryo to the Heavenly God Mountain Range, hoping that the Great Completion Ancient Ancestor here would nurture it. Unexpectedly, this helped them avoid a calamity.

Through the celestial gold stone embryo, one can vaguely see the human form inside. This divine embryo sits in meditation with its eyes closed, its body flowing with celestial light, inspiring awe.

Its nine orifices and eight openings are connected to the surface of the Immortal Gold Stone Embryo, as if it were wearing a thick stone garment. Various scriptures are flashing on its body, which are left by the Great Ancestor, Quasi-Emperor, and Great Sage of the Holy Spirit lineage to preach and recite scriptures for it.

It was flawless. Originally, if such a divine embryo were to be born in the future, no one in the world could suppress it. But now it's hard to say. With the existence of beings like the Ziwei Sect Master and the Heavenly Empress, and with a mysterious Taoist overseeing it, even the two accomplished Holy Spirit Ancestors cannot say that their successors can have the last laugh.

Three days later, the expanded mountain gate of the Ziwei Sect was located in the most spiritually rich immortal mountain. The purple aura was thousands of layers deep, and the immortal light was swirling around it, creating a magnificent and ever-changing scene.

Upon his return, Wang Hongwu immediately proposed a marriage alliance within the imperial family!
Everyone was stunned. The first person they thought of was the princess he had torn apart. They tentatively asked, "Master, are you really sure?"

Seeing their reaction, the Great Sage Xuan Yin realized there had been a misunderstanding and explained, "The marriage alliance is with the Myriad Dragon Nest. The dragon princess and Your Highness have long harbored feelings for each other, but they have always concealed it by using the identity of the Heavenly Dragon King."

"So that's how it is," everyone exclaimed, but then they were stunned again, turning to look at Wang Hongwu in surprise. "That Heavenly Dragon King is also a sect leader?"

It's no wonder they were surprised, because the reputation of the two shining stars had been around for quite some time, and many people had even witnessed the two clashing. That Heavenly Dragon King was a true dragon bloodline, certified by the Myriad Dragon Nest, and even the Myriad Dragon Bell was friendly to him. How did they manage to fool him?

Back then, the Heavenly Dragon King's feat of single-handedly defeating all the emperors was known to everyone. Even the ancient imperial heirs were suppressed by him and could not raise their heads. Countless people compared him with the Master of Ziwei Sect, which even sparked many debates. But now, there will be no more controversy.

Because they are all one person, there is no distinction between high and low, and all the remarkable achievements were actually done by the Ziwei Sect Master!
"Today, let's propose marriage to Wanlong Nest." Wang Hongwu looked towards the Eastern Wilderness, his gaze gradually softening. Now that he was in charge of the royal family and overlooked the five regions, he no longer needed to conceal his identity. Whatever he wanted to do, the world would follow.

"The Ziwei Sect is coming to propose marriage today?!"

At the same time, inside the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, Heavenly King Qianlun and Great Sage Wanlong were stunned, staring blankly at 'Eastern Taiyi'. What did they hear?
He was regarded as the future master of the Myriad Dragon Nest, the ancient princess's chosen husband, and the contemporary successor of the true dragon bloodline. He was actually the most influential Ziwei Sect Master in the Five Domains?!
This is impossible!
Qianlun Tianwang didn't believe it. How could one person have the bloodline of a true dragon and the other have the solar body of a human?
So, is he a true dragon descendant or a human? Even he himself couldn't tell, his mind was in turmoil, but looking at the serious-looking Heavenly Dragon King and Dragon Girl, he had no choice but to believe it, leaving him completely bewildered.

"Taiyi, do you mean that you are Wang Hongwu, the Ziwei Sect Master?" Wanlong Dasheng took a deep breath. This news was really shocking and hard to digest. But after all, he was a great sage. He did not dwell on his identity like his son did. Instead, he immediately thought of the interests of his clan, the protection of the Dragon Girl, and the future glory of Wanlong Nest.

Originally, Wanlong Nest and Ziwei Sect were only allies. Although they had mutual benefits, they had not yet reached the point of being truly inseparable and sharing both honor and disgrace, because they were not of the same race. But now it is different; their Prince Wanlong is the leader of Ziwei Sect!
What does this mean? The patriarch of the Ziwei royal family is their Wanlongchao's son-in-law; they're practically family!
What could be a closer alliance than this? No matter how you look at it, Wanlong Nest is making a profit, and the benefits will only grow. Of course, all of this is based on one premise: that the wife of the Ziwei Sect Leader is the Dragon Girl. Because, in the knowledge and experience of Wanlong Dasheng, at least the Heavenly Maiden of the Golden Cave and the Fire Kirin of the Fire Kirin Cave have both had designs on Taiyi and have tried to seduce him on several occasions.

"No, we need to be wary of them." Thinking of this, Wanlong Dasheng's expression turned serious. He had to protect his princess's position and absolutely could not let Hongwu be blinded by those seductive and shameless women outside.

The Dragon Girl was stunned. This outcome had crossed her mind before, but it had never materialized. Now, with this sudden news, she was completely dumbfounded.

She thought of many things: her prayers for him, her watching over him, gazing at the stars at night, fighting alongside him in the Divine Ruins, standing up for him before all races, offering up the Myriad Dragon Bell for him in times of crisis, vying for his affections with the Heavenly Maiden and Fire Lin'er, and praying for him day and night as he went to Ziwei... Everything seemed to have reached its perfect conclusion today.

Wang Hongwu no longer concealed his identity and wanted to be engaged to her in the most glorious way, announcing it to the world.

"So, I do have moments of fear? Father, if you knew, perhaps you would be pleased?" the Dragon Girl murmured to herself. This was a joyous occasion.

When she and Wang Hongwu announced this, the entire Wanlong Nest was filled with joy. The Ziwei Sect Master came to propose marriage, and seven great saints and other distinguished guests arrived, prompting the clan to open its doors in welcome. In particular, everyone was stunned when they learned that the Heavenly Dragon King was actually the Sun King. The disciples of Wanlong Nest were all dumbfounded. They had once debated which of the two forbidden kings was stronger, praising the Heavenly Dragon King and belittling the Sun King.

Now tell them that there is one person on both sides?

This made many people shrink back.

"Oh no, I once berated the Sun King in front of His Highness Hongwu, saying that he was far inferior to His Highness. No wonder he looked strange at the time."

"No wonder His Highness always looks strange whenever we praise him and criticize the Sun King; he always seems to want to say something but then stops himself."

"Hey, look what happened! It turns out the one who was cursing and the one who was praising were the same person!"

The tribesmen were somewhat embarrassed, but they finally understood some of their initial doubts; it turned out there was such a thing.

Soon after hearing the news, the Holy King Qiankang hurriedly came out of seclusion to offer his congratulations: "A perfect match made in heaven, a blessed union, a pair on earth!"

"Haha, today is truly a joyous occasion! Let's get engaged, then set a wedding date, and invite all our relatives and friends from all over the world to come. We must have a grand celebration!" The Great Sage of Ten Thousand Dragons waved his hand with great pride, announcing to the world that he had sent invitations to all the royal families.

On this very day, all the royal families learned of this news: a royal marriage alliance had been formed between the Ziwei Sect and the Wanlong Nest, and the Heavenly Dragon King would become the leader of the Ziwei Sect!
The two unparalleled geniuses turned out to be the same person, who had played the world for fools.

"How could it be him? How could it be him!" Inside the Golden Cave, the Golden Heavenly Maiden was somewhat at a loss. Everything had come too suddenly. Suddenly, she was told that the person she was chasing was the Ziwei Sect Leader who had recently torn the Heavenly Emperor's daughter apart. The impact was too great, and she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.

"The two supreme rulers are actually one person. They truly manipulate the heroes of the world with ease." She sighed softly, a complex emotion welling up within her. She couldn't help but look towards the Central Plains before finally sitting down thoughtfully after a long while.

Of course, upon closer reflection, there is no real difference, except that she is more outstanding. It is still a good match. Coincidentally, the Golden Cave has also resolved its conflict with the Ziwei Sect and is building good relations. So, as the future leader of the Golden Clan, it is not wrong for her to take the initiative to befriend the leader of the Ziwei Sect, right?
It's reasonable for you to take the initiative to get closer to them and spend more time with them, right?
This is all for the sake of the community!

Inside the Fire Kirin Cave, Fire Kirin was stunned upon receiving the news. He looked towards the direction of the Myriad Dragon Nest, then glanced at the gate of the Purple Star Sect, and then said thoughtfully, "That makes a lot more sense. The two freaks are one person. No wonder he can overpower all the emperors."

"It's the same person. This is getting more and more interesting. No wonder Sister Dragon Girl is always so possessive of her food. Hehehe, she's trying to cover up this secret." Huo Lin'er laughed with amusement, her eyes sparkling. Then she said softly, "This man is getting more and more interesting. I'm sorry, sisters, but I've been spoiled since I was little. If I like something, I have to get it."

Whether it's the Heavenly Dragon King or the Sun King, what interests her is the person, not the title. There's not much difference between the two, except that there might be more competitors later on. After all, there are most mediocre people in this world, and only one person can catch the princess's eye.

Inside the primeval lake, Yuan Gu was also greatly surprised, and then suddenly realized, "No wonder the Myriad Dragon Nest and the Ziwei Sect are so close, and they are no less powerful than us. Their clan is clearly at its peak. So that's why."

In the Blood Phoenix Mountain, Huang Xudao remained silent, leaving only one sentence: "He has tricked everyone in the world, using the power of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest to buy time for growth. Now he is being open and honest, wanting to truly integrate the power of the royal family. His ambition is too great, it is best not to provoke him."

Inside the Divine Silkworm Ridge, the Divine Silkworm Taoist sat cross-legged on the stone coffin, finally understanding why the Heavenly Dragon King had stood him up. It turned out he was rushing back to become the Sun King; running back and forth wouldn't be fast enough.

In the ancient Huangshan Mountain, the Empress frowned slightly upon receiving the news. After carefully comparing the two in her mind, she shook her head and said, "It was all him. He used the name of the Twin Stars of Glory to play tricks on the world. It's all recorded in history. But the result is such a blunder. What a bastard."

Suddenly, she looked at the Dragon Nest again, somewhat displeased, and snorted coldly, "What's so good about that dragon girl? The strong should unite with the strong. I'm more suitable than her!"

Below the platform, the eldest sage could only pretend not to hear these words, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. What was this? They were fighting to the death with the Ziwei Sect, and the boss above had taken a liking to them?
So who are they?
For some reason, he felt like a ridiculous clown, with the disputes between the two sides turning into flirtatious banter between husband and wife.

As the news spread, even the divine organizations from beyond the heavens heard about it, and were greatly shocked, but soon they were overjoyed.

Previously, the Ascension Cauldron was in the possession of the Heavenly Dragon King, which created a barrier between them, as they were not family. But now things are different. The Heavenly Dragon King is the Sun King, so it turns out that the one holding the Ascension Cauldron is one of their own!

"This is great news! I think we can retrieve the remaining third of the broken cauldron and reunite it with His Highness the Sun Lord!"

"I knew it! How could there be two ancient Heavenly Court successors at the same time? It turns out that it was one person playing both roles from beginning to end. That makes sense."

The entire organization was in an uproar, and then became excited. The legendary Immortal Ascension Cauldron had been collected in two-thirds. Could there be better news?
This is a sign that their ancient Heavenly Court is about to rise again.

Even the major powers were like this, let alone the cultivators of the world. After learning about it, they were all dumbfounded and refused to believe it no matter what.

There's no other reason than that the two are too different. Even when the Ziwei Sect Master left the Big Dipper, the Heavenly Dragon King would still frequently appear and discuss Dao with people!

It wasn't until later, when someone explained that this was the power of the Nine Secrets' clones, that people gradually came to believe it, followed by a stunned silence and shock; it turned out that the Heavenly Dragon King who could hold up the sky with one arm and crush all the emperors and the Sun King who could cut through the past and present and surpass the emperors were the same person, no wonder they could each achieve such world-shaking accomplishments.

"Now that he has become a saint, his power is established, and there is no need to hide it anymore. No wonder he has made it public." People sighed. Strength is the only true asset. Now that Wang Hongwu is the head of the royal family, his word can control five regions. Naturally, things are different now.

They could only revise the historical records overnight, adding the annotation that the two were the same person. With the unification of the battle records, people couldn't help but marvel at how glorious and unparalleled the entire journey had been.

From obscurity to dominating the Five Domains, the span of time was only ten years, leaving both the younger and older generations speechless, filled with admiration and deep awe.

Soon, the day arrived for the engagement between the Ziwei Sect and Wanlong Nest.

The two royal families organized the event with great fanfare, attracting the entire power of the Big Dipper, and even saints from beyond the realm descended.

The Ziwei Sect's mountain gate immediately became lively, with all kinds of delicacies being laid out, and jars of divine wine being served one after another, their fragrance spreading for miles, making one's mouth water just by smelling them.

As Wang Hongwu and the Dragon Girl appeared, people raised their glasses and drank merrily. Whether they were saints from beyond the realm or powerful figures from the Big Dipper Star Region, they all gathered together.

Important figures from all the major powers came to offer their congratulations.

Huo Lin'er also arrived, her long, bright blue hair was exceptionally beautiful, her figure was slender and radiant, she could be described as having unparalleled beauty. She looked at Wang Hongwu with great interest and said softly, "Long time no see, Brother Taiyi, oh no, now I have to call you Brother Hongwu~".

Wang Hongwu raised an eyebrow at the woman, inexplicably smelling jealousy in the air. He then felt his palm being gripped tightly, and the Dragon Girl nodded to him with a smile.

"Dragon Girl Sister, you must keep a close eye on your man," Huo Lin'er joked, whispering in her ear.

"Not bad, keep him under control. I'm also quite interested in him." The Empress, who had suddenly appeared with her feet planted on the ground, crossed her arms and nodded matter-of-factly, making no attempt to hide her admiration.
Hmph! Before the Dragon Girl could say anything, the Golden Celestial Maiden snorted coldly, "Everything has its order of arrival. Do you even know what timing is?"

"Heh," the Empress smiled faintly, pointing at her and saying, "I don't know what timing is. I only know that the victor is king. You, and you, and even her, are no match for me. If I want to take a man, none of you can stop me. Only the strong deserve to enjoy the company of the strong."

"Outrageous! Is this guy here to steal the bride?" The Golden Heavenly Maiden's gaze suddenly sharpened. Although Huo Lin'er was still smiling, there was a hint of ill intent in her eyes. This guy was too arrogant.

"Alas, harmony is the most precious thing, harmony is the most precious thing in all things." Just then, the Great Sage Hun Tuo appeared and said this as soon as he came up, which made Wang Hongwu's eyelids twitch. This secret word of persuasion is not to be used!
As expected, upon hearing this, the three goddesses declared war with smiles, "Enough with the nonsense! When the time comes, we'll fight in the outer realms and see who has the last laugh!"

Sigh... Wang Hongwu was speechless at the sight. They were all proud goddesses, and it would really take some time for them to get along peacefully. Just then, a faint voice came from behind him: "According to the prophecy, you will leave Beidou and step into the starry sky to compete for the title of the strongest five."

Daughter of the Ruins? He turned around in surprise, only to see this guy muttering to himself, "However, there's been a slight deviation. They were supposed to fight in the starry sky, but two of them clashed earlier. Is this what Father meant by the uncertain future?"

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Hongwu to ask any questions, the woman of the ruins turned around and ignored everyone.

Shaking his head, Wang Hongwu could only go and receive other important figures. On this day, all sorts of people arrived to attend this grand and magnificent wedding, giving people the illusion that a grand gathering of all races in the universe was being held, with all kinds of races present.

Now, he is a well-known figure in the Star Domain, and no one dares to provoke him.

Most importantly, people see a glimmer of the future in him, a future full of brilliance, perhaps he can truly break free from constraints and create a miracle against all odds.

Today, the Ziwei Sect has set up countless tables for its banquet, with too many saints to count. There are simply too many experts present, from the Big Dipper to beyond the realms, representing countless races and a forest of powerful figures.

Inside the mountain gate, there was a lively and festive atmosphere, with firecrackers exploding from time to time, various divine music playing, and fairies gracefully flying through the air, as well as auspicious birds dancing.

Even the Primordial Ancient Mine had people arrive; it was a Great Sage dressed in purple. They came to congratulate the Dragon Girl and presented her with generous gifts.

The dragon girl's mind wavered, and a thought surfaced. She remembered a rumor and couldn't help but look towards the ancient mine in the northern region.

After exchanging words with the envoy, Wang Hongwu learned the truth and began to ponder, "It is most likely not the Wanlong Emperor. He has fallen into the deepest slumber, and it was the work of the servants who accompanied him into the forbidden area."

Although it was an engagement, not a formal wedding, the joyous occasion between the Ziwei Sect and Wanlong Nest lasted for nine days and was celebrated in a grand and magnificent manner.

Only after these matters were completed did the Great Sage Xuan Yin find him and bring up the matter of leaving the Big Dipper.

"I know you wish to embark on the path to the stars, a distant trial ground where countless saints have fought. Without bathing in divine blood, one cannot be considered a true powerhouse."

But I don't know the truth, since I haven't experienced it myself. I don't know about the Big Dipper, but there are real records of the Ziwei, and very, very few people came back alive.

The Great Sage Xuan Yin cautiously recounted that after the two Human Emperors opened up and completed the route, a group of people would go there every ten thousand years, ranging from one or two to more than a dozen people, but very few of them could actually return alive.

That is the path to the strongest, the strongest trial in history.

“Interesting. I want to embark on this journey with you.”

Before Wang Hongwu could answer, the Empress Dowager, who was standing with her arms crossed, became interested and wanted to go too.
