This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

As Master Tianning finished speaking, with a casual wave of his hand, a spatial tunnel suddenly opened in front of the gate of Yuanfu Wanning Palace.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Bai and several other Maoshan elders entered.

Going to the underworld is not a matter for Zhong Bai alone; it also requires the assistance of a group of elders from Maoshan. In this way, it not only demonstrates Maoshan's importance but also serves as a deterrent in the underworld.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Bai and the six elders arrived in the underworld.

The passage opened by Master Tianning leads directly to the sphere of influence of the Feathered Immortal Abode.

Therefore, when Zhong Bai and his group arrived, Mo Chen, the Holy Lord, had already sent the Grand Elder of the Immortal Mansion to greet them.

It still had that aged face, that kind smile, and that somewhat sinister, ghostly aura.

The Grand Elder of the Feathered Immortal Mansion was somewhat taken aback upon seeing Zhong Bai.

When Zhong Bai left, he was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, but after just one year, when he returned to the Underworld, he had already reached the Divine Transformation stage.

At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Feathered Immortal Mansion had to admire his Holy Lord's vision. Such a terrifying cultivation speed, even without the towering Maoshan tree behind him, was absolutely worthy of their Feathered Immortal Mansion's Princess Mo Ling!

"Hahahaha, the prince consort has arrived! This old man has been waiting for a long time!"

The Grand Elder of the Feathered Immortal Mansion was extremely pleased. At the same time, his gaze swept over the six people behind Zhong Bai. They were all Maoshan elders at the Nascent Soul stage, and three of them even had an aura no weaker than his own—they were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Feathered Immortal Mansion finally gained a clearer understanding of Maoshan, this mysterious behemoth.

Zhong Bai smiled; after all, it wasn't the first time they had met.

"Thank you, Great Elder!"

After exchanging greetings with clasped hands, neither side lingered any longer. As if the yin and yang energies had converged, they headed towards the palace of the Immortal Ascension Abode.

Along the way, the terrifying aura of the six elders from Maoshan behind Zhong Bai spread throughout the underworld. All the ghosts along the way, whether they were the lowest-ranking ghost soldiers and generals or those ghost kings and emperors with certain powers, hid on the ground when they sensed these auras, praying that they were not the targets.

The Immortal Palace of Ascension.

Mo Chen Shengjun attached great importance to this grand wedding.

Moreover, this grand wedding was not only to demonstrate the prestige of the Immortal Abode, but also to create momentum for Zhong Bai.

Therefore, the Immortal Abode of Feathered Ascension and Maoshan jointly invited the other two major forces in the Underworld.

The Netherworld Immortal Abode and the Myriad Demon Abode.

However, no powerful beings with the primordial spirit came from either of the two palaces.

However, Mo Chen Shengjun has already achieved his goal.

At this moment, in front of the Feathered Immortal Palace, Saint Monarch Mo Chen hung high in the void, with the aura of a powerful primordial spirit spreading around him. The space in the void began to shatter inch by inch, but then healed under the gathering of yin energy.

Below Mo Chen Saint Lord were the demon emperors and ghost emperors of the Feathered Immortal Mansion.

In an inconspicuous corner, a man in a black robe was tiptoeing, trying to get past the many obstacles in front of him to look at the center of the celestial palace.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the Immortal Palace, I heard that Princess Wanling is the Holy King's most beloved younger sister. I wonder who has such good fortune to marry the Holy King's sister!"

If I could catch the princess's eye and get her to say a few good words for me before the Holy Emperor, wouldn't I, the Black Mountain Demon, also have a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage?

That's right, the black-robed man who was tiptoeing and trying to get through the many obstacles in front of him was the Black Mountain Demon in human form.

As for why he didn't step forward, what was blocking his view at that moment were all well-known and famous Nascent Soul Demon Emperors or Ghost Emperors from the Feathered Immortal Palace.

Besides these, there were also the Demon Emperor and Ghost Emperor from the Netherworld Immortal Palace and the Myriad Demon Palace who came to observe the ceremony.

The Black Mountain Demon was only at the half-step Demon Emperor level, so it was almost impossible for him to get through all the obstacles.

Therefore, he could only try to stand on his tiptoes...

"coming!"

Mo Chen Shengjun, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. From the moment Zhong Bai descended into the underworld, he had already sensed the familiar aura fluctuations.

Sure enough, it only took the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

In the distant void, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared.

Each figure exuded the aura of the Nascent Soul realm, with the Grand Elder of the Feathered Immortal Mansion and Zhong Bai at the forefront.

From a great distance, Zhong Bai saw Mo Ling's brother floating in the void, waiting for his arrival.

"Zhong Bai greets Your Majesty!"

Arriving at the very center of the Immortal Palace, Zhong Bai bowed respectfully to Saint Lord Mo Chen.

Even though the other party is my brother-in-law, I don't need to be formal or restrained in private.

But at this moment, almost the entire power of the underworld has arrived, so we still need to give them the face they deserve and observe the proper etiquette.

As soon as Zhong Bai finished speaking, almost all the eyes in the entire Immortal Palace fell on him.

First came the Demon Emperor and Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld Immortal Palace and the Myriad Demon Palace.

Besides attending the ceremony, they had another arduous task in coming: to see just how powerful this prince consort from Maoshan was!
I don’t know, I’m scared.

Zhong Bai made no attempt to hide anything; his aura was completely undisguised. Despite his early Nascent Soul stage and powerful physique, even with his best efforts to control his qi and blood, a trace of it inevitably leaked out.

Even a mere wisp of vital energy was enough to terrify those demon emperors and ghost emperors at the Nascent Soul stage.

His physical body was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, which was terrifying, especially considering that Zhong Bai in front of him didn't seem to be that old.

This demonstrates its enormous potential, and it is highly likely that it will reach the threshold of the Primordial Spirit realm in the future.

"The Immortal Abode of Feathered Ascension is truly blessed!"
Not only did she climb the social ladder by marrying into the Maoshan sect, but she also gained such a talented son-in-law. No wonder Maoshan was willing to hold such a grand ceremony, even going so far as to announce it to the entire world.

The Demon Emperor of the Myriad Demon Palace muttered, a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

Within the entire sphere of influence of the Underworld, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace was once absolutely the only one that could be ordered around.

Even though the Feathered Immortal Mansion and the Netherworld Immortal Mansion nominally have powerful figures at the Nascent Soul realm to support them.

However, for the Demon Palace, two Nascent Soul level experts alone cannot truly hinder them.

But it's different now.

The Feathered Immortal Mansion has directly climbed the high branch of Maoshan. In the future, the Myriad Demon Mansion will have to think twice before facing the Feathered Immortal Mansion. If Maoshan strongly supports the Feathered Immortal Mansion, it will truly challenge the absolute authority of the Myriad Demon Mansion in the Underworld!
Compared to the sour look in the eyes of the Demon Emperor of the Myriad Demon Palace, the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld Immortal Palace wore a slight smile.

The Demon Palace is a mountain that not only weighs down on the Feathered Immortal Palace, but is also an insurmountable peak on the Netherworld Immortal Palace.

Once upon a time, the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld Immortal Palace was in a miserable state. When he was bullied, he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

Now that the two are fighting, the fisherman will benefit. The Netherworld Immortal Palace is just hoping that the Ascension Immortal Palace and the Myriad Demon Palace will make a big move, and eventually provoke Maoshan to get involved...

Of course, the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld Immortal Palace knew that this idea was unrealistic.

After all, Maoshan also exerts a great sense of pressure on the Ten Thousand Demon Mansion.

If the Ten Thousand Demons Palace were to truly confront Maoshan, no one would be foolish enough to actually go for it.
After all, offending Maoshan means facing pressure from Longhushan at the same time.

Two hundred years ago, Dao Xuan, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, personally visited the underworld.

As for why...

That was a taboo.

But the result was that the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace personally escorted Dao Xuan Celestial Master out of the Underworld with a smile.

......................................................

In the very corner of the celestial palace.

The Black Mountain Demon, who had been standing on tiptoe trying to catch a glimpse, finally saw the true face of the celestial prince consort. However, after just one glance, the Black Mountain Demon, whose face had been filled with longing, instantly turned to stone, his mood plummeting like a rollercoaster.

"It's him!"

Although he knew that the prince consort of the immortal abode came from Maoshan, the Black Mountain Demon never imagined that he would be the same person as his enemy.

Memories flooded back like a tide.

The Black Mountain Demon will never forget that night...

In that pitch-black night, he, a half-step demon emperor, traversed the underworld and descended to the mortal realm, originally thinking that he could easily kill the guy who had slain his demon king.

What greeted him was two thunderous drumbeats, followed by a sky full of thunder engulfing his body.

He was seriously wounded in World War I.

It has almost become the Black Mountain Demon's nightmare. In the past few years, the Black Mountain Demon can see that scene whenever he closes his eyes.

The toes that had been raised suddenly fell back down as if electrocuted.

He hunched over, as if afraid of being discovered by Zhong Bai.

Unfortunately, the Black Mountain Demon's actions came a little too late.

The moment the Black Mountain Demon looked at Zhong Bai, Zhong Bai also glanced at the Demon Emperor and Ghost Emperor in the Immortal Palace.

His gaze, unwavering, met the Black Mountain Demon's eyes.

Although the Black Mountain Demon lowered his head almost instantly, Zhong Bai still saw it.

In an instant, a slightly amused smile gradually appeared on Zhong Bai's lips.

Seeing this smile, Mo Chen, the Holy Lord in the void, looked in the direction Zhong Bai was looking with a bit of curiosity.

In the corner, a hunched figure was trembling, as if it had encountered something terrifying.

And this trembling body belonged to a half-step demon emperor under his Yuhua Immortal Mansion.

In an instant, Mo Chen Saint Lord basically understood that this half-step demon emperor must have known Zhong Bai before, and their relationship was definitely not friendly.

However, since it was his younger sister's big day, Mo Chen Shengjun didn't have the habit of directly dragging out the Black Mountain Demon and torturing him.

Similarly, although Zhong Bai had seen the Black Mountain Demon, he only stayed for a few seconds.

I have important things to do today, and it's not worth wasting time on the Black Mountain Demon.

Mo Chen Shengjun's gaze flashed and disappeared. Although he did not make any move on the surface, it was almost a death sentence for the Black Mountain Demon.

The Black Mountain Demon was unaware of this, and remained hunched over, trembling involuntarily.

"Zhong Bai, the auspicious time is almost here. Pick up my little sister, and we can head to Maoshan!"

In the void, after Mo Chen Saint Lord spoke, Zhong Bai immediately nodded in agreement.

Unlike the etiquette of the mortal world, Zhong Bai simply came to Mo Ling's boudoir as a person.

Although it's called a boudoir, it's actually a world of its own.

The refreshing floral fragrance mingled with the scent of Mo Ling from the past. When Zhong Bai arrived, there were only a few servants in the courtyard.

The servants were all kneeling on the ground, as if they already knew their son-in-law had arrived.

They dared not look at their faces and all kept their heads down.

After passing through the courtyard, Zhong Bai arrived at the gate.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Mo'er, your husband has come to pick you up!"

inside the house.

Mo Ling sat on the bed, her gorgeous clothes gleaming with jewels.

Those ornaments are all magical artifacts.

It's easy to imagine how much Mo Chen Shengjun doted on his younger sister.

Upon hearing her husband's voice, Mo Ling showed no shyness like a little girl, but instead got up and went to the door with a happy expression.

After opening the door, the two looked at each other.

"Mo'er looks so beautiful today!"

"Does that mean it wasn't good before?"

Mo Ling said teasingly, while Zhong Bai chuckled, scratched his head, and then shook his head, saying, "Mo'er is most beautiful now. She was beautiful before, but she is most beautiful now!"

"rhetoric……"

Mo Ling said that, but the smile on her face never stopped.

Extending her fair hand, the meaning was clear. Zhong Bai, equally perceptive, extended his right hand and intertwined his fingers with Mo Ling's.

"Come on, Mo'er!"

"Yes, I'll do whatever my husband says..."

Without any of the tedious formalities, Zhong Bai and Mo Ning quickly arrived at the center of the Celestial Palace.

Seeing the talented man and beautiful woman, everyone, from the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Feathered Immortal Mansion to the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld Immortal Mansion and the Demon Emperor of the Myriad Demon Mansion, couldn't help but turn their gazes to them.

"What a fine couple!"

In the void, after Mo Chen Saint Lord finished speaking, Zhong Bai's brother-in-law felt a slight sense of relief deep in his heart.

As the eldest brother, his mission was mostly complete, and the pressure on his mind had also lessened somewhat.

"If any of you guests who have come to witness the ceremony wish to travel to Maoshan, then you can cross space."

There's no need to distinguish between good and evil; Maoshan has already reserved seats for us!

Although they already knew that the real wedding ceremony would be held at Maoshan, the group of demon emperors and ghost emperors were surprised when they heard that they also had the opportunity to go to Maoshan.

The reactions varied.

Those demon emperors and ghost emperors who usually cultivated themselves to their current level showed a hint of interest in their eyes.

Clearly, they were very interested in the suggestion to go to Maoshan.

The demon emperors and ghost emperors, who usually cultivated by devouring the essence and even souls of mortals, all felt a chill run down their spines.

Although Maoshan promised not to do anything to them this time, wouldn't going to Maoshan expose everything?
This time it's not targeting them, but what about behind the scenes?
Therefore, they all had reservations.

Mo Chen Shengjun also knew that it was impossible for all the demon emperors and ghost emperors to go to Maoshan to attend the ceremony.

With a complicated smile, he waved his hand, and a spatial tunnel appeared directly in front of the Immortal Palace.

"Zhong Bai, little sister, you go first!"

Zhong Bai and Mo Ling exchanged a glance, then held hands and stepped through the void into the tunnel.
