Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

At the very center of Starship City stands a colossal celestial structure—the Spirit Energy Tower, upon which the ancestral shrine of the Qiongqi Clan is built on the Cloud-Stepping Platform.

The Cloud-Stepping Platform is carved from a single piece of obsidian and floats hundreds of feet in the air, with the lights of the entire city below.

At this moment, three thousand Qiongqi warriors stood in formation at the edge of the Cloud-Stepping Platform, with a ten-zhang-tall Qiongqi statue in the center.

The statue has a tiger's body and eighteen wings, roars to the sky, and holds a huge lightning pearl in its mouth, with lightning flashing inside, illuminating the entire platform.

Meanwhile, a large number of powerful members of the Spirit Fox Clan's Xuanhu Guard and Tiehu Guard were also present. They were located in the central area of ​​the Cloud-Stepping Platform, closely following behind Lu Shu.

At this moment, Lu Shu's expression was uncertain, and he looked preoccupied.

Beneath the statue, in the high hall, at the edge of a huge high table, sat two figures:

Ji Heng, the patriarch of the Qiongqi clan and a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert, had a pair of golden eyes that gleamed slightly as he stared at Lu Xuan with a half-smile.

Lu Xuan, the patriarch of the Spirit Fox Clan and a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert, sat calmly on the right side of the high hall.

The platform was filled with long tables and chairs, and was now packed with distinguished guests, including powerful figures from all the major families across the four continents.

For them, this is also an opportunity to get to know powerful figures from various races.

In the Great Dragon Court, no one ever thinks they have too many friends.

Behind the Cloud-Stepping Platform stood a large group of powerful demons, most of whom were lone cultivators venturing out alone, eager to witness the splendor of the divine beast clan.

Some powerful cultivators who had secluded themselves in the world also came out to witness this once-in-a-century event! Even those who cultivate in seclusion need to constantly experience the mortal world and comprehend all things under heaven!

At this moment, a beautiful woman from the Qiongqi tribe, dressed in a magnificent golden robe, stepped onto the high platform, her voice clear and elegant:

"The auspicious time has arrived. Please welcome the bride and groom to enter!"

Ji Duanyi stood tall and walked directly towards the area under the high table.

Supported by two little fox maids, Wang Hong walked gracefully forward.

The crown adorning his hair shone brightly, and the magnificent gem at the end of the crown swayed gently with his lotus-like steps, sparkling like a shooting star in the sunlight.

Occasionally, she would accidentally step on the little fox's foot, causing her to cry out in pain.

Damn! These shoes are so hard to wear and walk in!

I have to pretend to be a graceful young woman, and walk with those lotus steps!

The person drinking the soup below stared intently at that stunningly beautiful figure from behind: "I can't imagine what kind of breathtaking beauty lies beneath that red veil!"

He closed his eyes, bent his legs slightly, and looked ecstatic as he ate human flesh: "The young clan leader rarely shows his face. I only caught a glimpse of him from afar once, and since then I have never been interested in any woman again."

Niu Ting slapped the cannibal's head: "You son of a bitch, what are you talking about, you're a girl! Keep your voice down!"

He hissed, "This is Ji family territory. Stand up straight and don't embarrass the young clan leader!"

Lu Lingfeng looked at these guys with disdain. "I really don't understand why the elders brought you guys along. You're fucking shameful!"

The bear demon Qiao'er instantly flew into a rage, her eyebrows shot up, and she was about to punch him. "You enjoyed being rammed by me that day, didn't you? Want to get hit again?"

Wang Hu touched his swollen face and said sarcastically, "If the commander hadn't been absent, how dare they be so arrogant!"

It makes me angry just thinking about it!

Yesterday, on Lord Shi's orders, I waited for half a day at Lingyue Pavilion, and finally a clueless fellow came.

That old woman was so arrogant, daring to break into Wang Hu's place.

Wang Hu instantly manifested a tiger body several meters long, about to devour the old woman, but unexpectedly, the old woman slapped him from a distance, sending him flying to the back mountain. Now his face and buttocks are swollen!

"Enough!" Lu Lifei shouted in a deep voice. As the commander of the Xuanhu Guard, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator and a half-step Golden Core cultivator, his words carried great weight.

He gave Lu Lingfeng a cold glance. "Didn't you feel you'd already embarrassed yourself enough at the ancestral hall yesterday?"

Everyone fell silent, as if trembling with fear.

At this moment, Wang Hong finally walked to the other side of the high table and stood opposite Ji Duanyi.

Through the hazy red veil, he could barely make out Broken Wing's unparalleled figure.

A cold glint seemed to emanate from Broken Wing's eyes, and Wang Hong couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

I'm really going to be killed by him tonight!

But why does this guy look thinner?

At that moment, the old woman from the Qiongqi tribe announced, "The newlyweds have arrived; the ceremony of harmony between heaven and earth shall begin immediately!"

As joyous music rang out, Ji Heng, the chieftain of the Qiongqi clan, waved his hand, and the world around him began to shimmer with golden light.

Streaks of light came from all directions, transforming into imposing figures with powerful auras, standing on either side of Ji Heng and Lu Xuan.

The two clan leaders and eight elders joined forces to activate their magic, and a huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram appeared below the Qiongqi statue, slowly rising to a very high place.

The spiritual energy in the sky surged and converged towards the Tai Chi diagram, constantly rotating to form a vortex of spiritual energy.

Ji Heng took out nine white lotus flowers and placed them into the Yin diagram of the Taiji diagram, while Lu Xuan took out three pieces of golden spirit wood and flew towards the Yang diagram.

"The Thousand-Year Snow Lotus and the Heavenly Thunder Wood are both rare spiritual herbs in the world. Both herbs are of great benefit to those who practice water-attribute and metal-attribute cultivation techniques." Lu Wantang's eyes gleamed. Wang Hong had also benefited!

The eight elders also made their moves, and suddenly the sky was filled with precious light, which amazed the crowd below the stage!

"Those are Phoenix Marrow Jade and Ice Soul Pearls!"

"And there are also century-old vermilion fruits and qilin horns!"

He stared greedily at the shimmering light, lamenting, "When can I become the son-in-law of the Lu family?!"

"It's not enough to just marry into the Lu family; this is a marriage alliance between two major clans, both of which are among the most prominent in the entire Four Continents!"

"You're a blessing from your ancestors for eighteen generations for becoming my son-in-law!"

At this moment, all the rare and precious materials that had been put into the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram in the sky had been refined. Due to their different spiritual energy attributes, they were constantly rotating and mixed with the Yin and Yang spiritual energies.

Driven by the ten powerful figures, the Tai Chi diagram suddenly descended, gradually shrinking in the air, and eventually covered Ji Duanyi and Wang Hong.

The yin and yang energies in the Tai Chi diagram then moved towards Wang Hong and Ji Duanyi respectively.

Wang Hong sensed the immense spiritual energy and thought to himself, "This is bad! I'm only at the early stage of Qi Refining. This spiritual energy could directly burst my dantian!"

Damn it, I forgot about that!

The water-attribute spiritual energy, representing "yin," engulfed Wang Hong, flowing from his limbs and bones towards his dantian.

As soon as the purest spiritual energy rushed into his body, Wang Hong felt as if some blocked meridians had been cleared by a great river.

The spiritual energy contained the unique aura of water-attribute treasures such as the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus and the Ice Soul Pearl, which made his body as stiff as ice.

Wang Hong didn't have time to think about anything else and hurriedly urged the Holy Sword to absorb the massive spiritual energy.

At this moment, the glass lamp quietly emitted light from between the eyebrows, actually devouring the traces of aura emitted by the holy sword!

Although Wang Hong didn't know whether Lu Xuan and Ji Heng would be able to sense the faint aura emanating from the Holy Sword, the Glazed Lamp absorbed all the dissipating aura, so it should not be discovered!

Unable to see the gazes of the two clan leaders from beneath the bright red veil, he stopped thinking about it and focused on absorbing the spiritual energy within his body.

Ji Heng exclaimed in admiration, "Truly a genius rarely seen in a thousand years among the Spirit Fox clan! Her speed in absorbing spiritual energy is far faster than that of Broken Wing!"

Lu Xuan said calmly, "Qingyuan is a proud lotus on a snowy mountain. Her current achievements are entirely due to her own efforts. We old folks haven't really helped much!"

"Heh, you old man, do you think my Broken Wing is some kind of hothouse flower?"

Hearing him call him "old man," Lu Xuan wasn't angry; a slight smile played on his lips. "You said it yourself, I didn't!"

At this moment, Wang Hong and Ji Duanyi had both absorbed the spiritual energy, and the Tai Chi diagrams on their bodies suddenly began to spin rapidly.

Invisible, colorless lines descend from the sky, merging into the Tai Chi diagram and continuously intersecting within the bodies of the two individuals.

"At this moment, Heaven has bestowed its blessings, and the two are now happily married, inseparable!" Ji Heng looked at the scene before him and suddenly recalled the scene of his own wedding with his wife, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah! What, wait, what the hell is going on?!" Lu Xuan was also sighing, but suddenly woke up with a start.

How could Lu Qingyuan possibly marry Ji Duanyi!

How could a blessing from Heaven possibly succeed?

Ji Heng's face also contorted with rage: "Damn you, Lu Xuan's brother! What the hell is going on?!"

After saying that, he was about to rush onto the stage to check the situation!

Ripples spread around Lu Xuan, completely obscuring the sound of their conversation and their figures.

The elders were filled with worry. What were Lu Xuan and Ji Heng up to? In broad daylight, in front of everyone, they had completely concealed their figures and voices!

Has something drastic happened at the Lu family's place?

At this moment, the light of the Tai Chi diagram gradually dimmed, and finally the Yin and Yang diagrams separated, merging into the bodies of Wang Hong and the other person respectively.

The holy sword swallowed the last trace of spiritual energy, and a piece of news made Wang Hong overjoyed.

Excess spiritual energy is converted into nano-spiritual energy; current inventory: 6 → 25.

The swordsman's cultivation has reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining; current spiritual energy capacity assessment: 1500 (far exceeding the average mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator)

Wang Hong carefully examined the condition inside his body.

At this moment, his meridians were completely unobstructed, and his spiritual energy was abundant. Moreover, the medicinal power of many treasures was hidden deep within his meridians and blood by the Holy Sword. He needed to absorb the medicinal power of these treasures through continuous cultivation.

At the same time, a wisp of spiritual energy from the Holy Sword flowed into his dantian, and he believed that he would soon break through the Qi Refining stage and reach the Foundation Establishment stage!

Wow, is improving your cultivation level really this easy?

Even the Heavenly Heart Sacred Qi Technique doesn't need to be activated!

At this moment, the Holy Sword suddenly shut down the spiritual energy transport channel.

[The Holy Sword is low on energy and has entered hibernation mode.]

Good, good, very good.
