I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

A month has passed, and the Yang family has prepared the betrothal gifts. The Immortal Emperor Yang Hongzun personally captured a pair of white foxes at the Immortal King level, and Yang Hongbo has prepared two contract talismans.

One hundred million top-grade immortal crystals, a large number of immortal pills and immortal artifacts, and the deployment of a 200,000-strong immortal army for protection—all of this was the price that one family had to pay.

The marriage proposal team took ten days to reach the Great Hua Imperial Clan. The higher-ups of the Great Hua Imperial Clan knew that this was just a family, but surprisingly, there was a Celestial Emperor in this family.

Although there are Immortal Emperors in the Imperial Sect, they are the result of gathering most of the favored children of heaven and earth and paying a great price.

However, the Yang family is just one family, yet it has produced a Celestial Emperor, and perhaps even a Celestial Emperor in the future. Such a family is still worth befriending.

The Great Hua Emperor Sect dispatched its twelfth and thirteenth elders as the organizers to welcome the Yang family's marriage proposal delegation, since they were both Immortal Emperors.

Actually, apart from Yang Hongbo, none of the other people in the marriage proposal team were from the Yang family. After all, the cultivation level of the Yang family members was too low. If they came to the Great Hua Emperor Sect and saw that you were a family patriarch who was only over two hundred years old and only at the Human Immortal Earth Immortal Realm, they might slap you.

Yang Hongbo introduced the elders to the twelfth and thirteenth elders: "This is my family's Celestial Emperor, Lord Yang Hongzun. We've come to propose marriage to Dongfang Bubai on my behalf!"

The two elders were somewhat confused. This was just a celestial lord, yet he dared to try and eat swan meat like a toad?

"Elders, Dongfang Bubai and I are deeply in love. If you don't believe me, you can call her over!"

Although the two elders did not believe it, they sent someone to summon Dongfang Bubai in order to find out the truth.

Upon seeing Yang Hongbo, Dongfang Bubai immediately smiled and walked over calmly, taking his hand: "Little brother, you've come?"

"Sister, they don't believe that you and I are in love, so I had no choice but to call you out!"

"Elder Twelfth, Elder Thirteenth, now that I've emerged, you should believe me, right?"

"But he's just a celestial lord, and he looks so much younger than you!"

"Elders, love knows no age."

"Besides, I'm young, and I'm also a Celestial Lord, which proves that I can climb to the top in the future!"

"Do you two elders know? I'm not even two hundred years old yet. How long do you think it will take me to cultivate to the level of Immortal Venerable, Immortal King, or Immortal Emperor?"

The two elders were astonished upon hearing this. Not even two hundred years old? Holy crap! This is absolutely a gifted individual!

The twelfth and thirteenth elders exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. The twelfth elder was the first to recover, and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Young Master Yang, we were very rude just now, please forgive us. With such talent, your future achievements are limitless, and we will certainly not hinder your relationship with Steward Dongfang."

The Thirteenth Elder quickly chimed in, "Indeed, Young Master Yang is so young and promising; he and Elder Dongfang are a match made in heaven. We two will go and inform the Sect Master immediately, and we will ensure that this marriage is a grand and successful affair."

Yang Hongbo smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Then I will trouble the two elders. I hope the two elders will convey to the sect leader that the Yang family will treat this marriage with the utmost sincerity."

Dongfang Bubai's cheeks flushed, and she leaned gently on Yang Hongbo's shoulder, saying softly, "Little brother, I knew you could do it."

Yang Hongbo gently put his arm around Dongfang Bubai's waist and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not let you down."

The twelfth and thirteenth elders hurriedly departed for the main hall of the sect. The sect master of the Great Hua Emperor Sect was also shocked upon hearing this.

"A celestial lord who is not even two hundred years old? Such talent is extremely rare even in my celestial realm. If we can form this marriage alliance with him, it will be entirely beneficial to my Great Hua Imperial Sect." The sect leader said after pondering for a moment.

"The sect leader is absolutely right. This boy is exceptionally talented, and his future achievements are limitless. Deacon Dongfang and he are of one mind, so we should strongly support this marriage," an elder echoed.

"Very well, since that's the case, then let's begin preparations immediately. Send word to the entire Great Hua Imperial Sect to devote all their efforts to preparing for this marriage, ensuring that it becomes a celebrated event in our Immortal Realm." The Sect Master waved his hand, making the decision.

The twelfth and thirteenth elders received their orders and left to convey the sect leader's decision to Yang Hongbo and Dongfang Bubai. Yang Hongbo was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, sect leader, and thank you all for your support. I, Yang Hongbo, will certainly not betray this trust. In the future, I will work hand in hand with Sister Dongfang to dedicate myself to the development of both forces."

Dongfang Bubai also bowed gracefully: "Thank you, Sect Master, and thank you, Elders. Hongbo and I will definitely love each other and create a bright future together."

In the days that followed, the entire Great Hua Imperial Sect was bustling with activity. Lanterns and decorations adorned the streets, creating a joyous atmosphere. Various forces in the Immortal Realm, having heard of the event, sent envoys to offer their congratulations. For a time, the Great Hua Imperial Sect was exceptionally lively, with guests gathering in droves.

Yang Hongbo was also extremely busy, juggling social interactions with various envoys while simultaneously discussing the details of the marriage with Dongfang Bubai. Dongfang Bubai, watching the busy Yang Hongbo, felt a surge of sweetness and happiness.

"Little brother, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest?" Dongfang Bubai said with concern.

Yang Hongbo smiled and shook his head: "Sister, I'm not tired. Being able to prepare for this wedding for you is the happiest thing for me. Moreover, I also want everyone to see how sincere my love for you is."

Moved, Dongfang Bubai threw herself into Yang Hongbo's arms: "Little brother, you're so kind. I'm so lucky to have met you in this life."

Just as the two were sweetly embracing, an uninvited guest suddenly entered their field of vision. This person was a young genius from the Great Hua Imperial Clan (a young genius over two hundred thousand years old) named Li Yifeng.

He had always harbored feelings for Dongfang Bubai, but dared not reveal them at all. When he suddenly heard that Dongfang Bubai was going to marry Yang Hongbo, he was very unwilling and came to confront Yang Hongbo.

"Yang Hongbo, you're just a Celestial Lord, what right do you have to marry Steward Dongfang? You're not worthy of her at all!" Li Yifeng glared angrily and questioned loudly.

Yang Hongbo frowned and looked coldly at Li Yifeng: "Li Yifeng, love has no logic. Sister Dongfang and I are in love, and you have no right to interfere. Moreover, I will prove with my strength that I am worthy of her."

Li Yifeng sneered, "You? A mere Immortal Lord who's not even two hundred years old dares to speak so arrogantly in front of me. Today, I'll show you just how vast the gap is between you and me."

Having said that, Li Yifeng released a powerful aura and rushed towards Yang Hongbo. Yang Hongbo was fearless; he circulated his immortal power, preparing to fight. Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai quickly stepped in front of Yang Hongbo, saying, "Li Yifeng, if you dare harm him, I will never let you go!"

Seeing Dongfang Bubai protecting Yang Hongbo, Li Yifeng felt even angrier: "Deacon Dongfang, why are you protecting him like this? He can't protect you at all."

Dongfang Bubai said firmly, "Li Yifeng, Hongbo is my lover, and of course I will protect him. Moreover, I believe in his strength; he will definitely defeat you."

Yang Hongbo gently pulled Dongfang Bubai away and said softly, "Sister, let me handle this. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Having said that, Yang Hongbo met Li Yifeng's attack head-on. The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle. Li Yifeng was a powerful Immortal Venerable Realm expert, possessing immense strength. Although Yang Hongbo was only an Immortal Lord Realm expert, he relied on his astonishing talent and tenacious perseverance to fight Li Yifeng to a standstill.

The surrounding guests gathered around to watch the battle. They were all shocked by Yang Hongbo's performance, never expecting that a Celestial Lord who was not even two hundred years old could contend with a Celestial Venerable.

"This Yang Hongbo is indeed exceptionally talented; no wonder he won the favor of Miss Dongfang," a guest remarked.

"Yes, this child's future achievements are limitless. He might actually create a miracle in this battle," another guest chimed in.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Yang Hongbo gradually became exhausted. But he still gritted his teeth and persevered, with only one belief in his heart: he could not let Sister Dongfang down.

Just as Li Yifeng was preparing to launch his final attack, Yang Hongbo suddenly unleashed a powerful force. He channeled all the immortal power within him and unleashed a powerful immortal technique. A dazzling light flashed, and Li Yifeng was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Yang Hongbo stood there, panting heavily, but his eyes were filled with determination and confidence. He looked at Li Yifeng lying on the ground and said coldly, "Li Yifeng, you've lost. Now you should understand that love isn't something you can fight for. My relationship with Sister Dongfang isn't something you can destroy."

Li Yifeng struggled to his feet, looking at Yang Hongbo with eyes filled with resentment and admiration: "Yang Hongbo, I lost. You are indeed worthy of marrying Steward Dongfang, and I wish you both well."

After saying that, Li Yifeng turned and left. Yang Hongbo watched his retreating figure, feeling no pride, only a stronger resolve in her love.

Dongfang Bubai quickly walked to Yang Hongbo's side and tenderly wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Little brother, are you alright? It's all my fault for causing you trouble."

Yang Hongbo gently grasped Dongfang Bubai's hand and smiled, "Sister, it's not your fault. This is just a small episode in our love story. Besides, I proved myself through this battle; I have the ability to protect you."

Dongfang Bubai nodded, moved: "Little brother, I believe in you. From now on, we'll face all difficulties together."

After this ordeal, preparations for the wedding went much more smoothly. Finally, the day of the wedding arrived. The Great Hua Imperial Palace was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. Yang Hongbo, dressed in magnificent wedding attire, rode a tall horse and led a grand wedding procession to Dongfang Bubai's residence to fetch his bride.

Dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, Dongfang Bubai was as beautiful as a celestial being. Supported by her maids, she slowly walked out of her residence and sat in the bridal sedan chair. The wedding procession, accompanied by music and fanfare, returned to the main hall of the Great Hua Imperial Clan.

Inside the sect's main hall, Yang Hongbo and Dongfang Bubai held a grand wedding ceremony witnessed by guests from all sides. They bowed to heaven and earth, to their parents (who had finally appeared before the world), and to each other, officially becoming husband and wife.

From then on, they joined hands and worked together to create a bright future. This marriage, in which the woman was hundreds of thousands of years older than the man, became a legendary tale in the immortal realm.
