Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Ever since the Celestial Sect of Wonders was established, it had never once use force to coerce other sects and powers into submitting to them, even though they did kill before.

While the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ position in the Divine Lands was very prominent now and they had many smaller sects under them, these sects committed to them out of their own accord. The Celestial Sect of Wonders never once suppressed them in order to make them submit.

Today, Xiao Yan’s arrival in the Longevity City for his engagement ceremony was supposed to be a joyous occasion. However, the lavish betrothal gifts caused some to develop alternative notions.

For example, did Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders change their mind, and they wanted to take control of all the sects and powers under them?

The betrothal gifts were beyond everyone’s expectations. Was the Celestial Sect of Wonders demonstrating their might in such a manner before using physical force to suppress everyone else?

Did the Celestial Sect of Wonders pick the Gu Empire, the strongest active power in the Divine Lands right now, on purpose?

However, the Celestial Sect of Wonders might not be wise if they made such a decision. After all, the Gu Empire and other active sects in the Divine Lands were al their allies.

Their only stepping stone to total dominance was actually the Great Void Sect, who had kept a low-profile in all these years.

Although the Celestial Sect of Wonders displaced them from their position, they were still the second most powerful sect in the Divine Lands.

Even if the Celestial Sect of Wonders went all out to destroy the Great Void Sect, it’d be difficult to predict the outcome. They might have to pay a heavy price for victory.

Comparatively, the Celestial Sect of Wonders would do better if they chose the Mount Shu Sword Sect as their first target if they wanted to achieve total dominance of the Divine Lands.

As they thought this way, everyone started to realize that their previous guesses were inaccurate. They were more perplexed as they looked at Lin Feng and Xiao Yan.

Ji Wenrui seemed to have thought of something.

Gu Jun maintained his expression as he sat in his main seat. His gaze calmed down slightly after he seemed to flinch a little. He appeared to have thought of something too.

“Your sect is indeed filled with talents.” Gu Jun changed the topic. He looked at Duan Muhong and the rest before saying, “The last time I saw this little comrade, it was Master Lin’s first time in the Longevity World. But now he’s much different from before.”

Lin Feng laughed, “The juniors still need training. Comrade Gu, your words are too kind.”

Xiao Yan kept the Nanming Primordial Fire and sat down again. The rest of the Gu Empire didn’t pose any further questions.

Gu Jun’s reaction showed that he would accept the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ help. However, it was best for it to be done after the ceremony. Both parties needed to come together to discuss the details.

After the Celestial Sect of Wonders presented the betrothal gifts, the Gu Empire cultivators kept the gifts. Both parties went through a couple of rituals before Xiao Zhener surfaced.

Both she and Xiao Yan were considered very young in the human cultivation world, but they had already formed their Immortal Souls. Though they followed the customs and traditions, they weren’t too superstitious.

The two of them stood together as a couple and received compliments from everyone.

Xiao Yan held onto Xiao Zhener’s hands softly and laughed, “This is the second most glorious moment of my life. It’s even better than the time I was given my honorific title.”

Xiao Zhener revealed a smile on her face and nodded her head. She knew what Xiao Yan’s most glorious moment was too.

It happened many years ago when Xiao Yan was still fifteen years old. He was at the lowest point of his life then.

However, it was at that point in time when his situation improved. He met Lin Feng and accepted discipleship under him.

That was the most glorious moment in Xiao Yan’s entire life. It was better than any other time of his life.

Xiao Zhener knew about this long ago. After hearing Xiao Yan’s words, she wasn’t unhappy. Rather, she felt the same as him.

Although she trusted that Xiao Yan was true to her and was even more confident that they could be together for the rest of their lives, she knew that their relationship had been relatively smooth all because of Lin Feng.

All this way, the Celestial Sect of Wonders treated the Gu Empire very well. For this engagement ceremony, the Celestial Sect even prepared many lavish gifts. Even during the Antiquity Age when the human emperors ruled, there was nothing like this before.

Someone once joked that Xiao Yan and the others weren’t Lin Feng disciples; they were more like Lin Feng’s godsons and goddaughters.

No one dared to joke about this in front of Lin Feng, but Lin Feng seemed to fulfill all these words with his actions.

However, he wasn’t bothered by what others said.

Xiao Zhener and Xiao Yan looked back and saw Lin Feng smiling at them.

Lin Feng felt a surge of emotions as he looked at his eldest disciple. Unwittingly, Xiao Yan’s look when he was younger appeared in front of Lin Feng’s eyes.

The youth in black. The youth who was very courageous and resilient. The youth who was at the lowest point in his life. This youth was very aloof on the outside, butt there was a fire burning in his heart – a fire that could rage anytime.

When Lin Feng saw him then, he only thought whether Xiao Yan was fit enough to be his disciple, based on the standards set by the system. He was concerned whether he could fulfill his mission. He thought of how it would be a great thing to have this talented youth as his disciple. But he also thought of how stressful it would be to be his master.

Lin Feng laughed in his heart, “You’ve really promoted in life now. You’re getting yourself a beautiful wife and you’re walking towards the peak of your life. Aren’t you a little emotional? Oh…forget it. I shall not mock you…”

At this moment, Lin Feng was comforted and elated as he looked at Xiao Yan. He was delighted for his own disciple.

The appearance of the innocent youth never changed. He looked exactly the same as this charming young man right in front of him.

He nodded and smiled towards Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener. The both of them also returned the smile.

Gu Jun also stood up since he was the host. He personally followed Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhener to express their thanks towards those who graced the ceremony today.

The Supreme Radiance Swordmaster felt very peaceful as he looked at Xiao Yan. The Purple Clouds Grandmaster stood beside the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster and pondered about the fire that Xiao Yan showed earlier.

He turned to the other side, where there were two ladies behind the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster. They were decked in white. One of them was full of vigor while the other appeared very calm and mature. They were both the Immediate Disciples of the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster- Tao Yaoyao and Murong Yanran.

Murong Yanran looked at Xiao Zhener and Xiao Yan with a calm expression. She even joked with Tao Yaoyao, “Senior, are your eight characters compatible with the River Abode Divine Prince?”

Tao Yaoyao stood there in a dominant fashion and her figure flashed like a streak of flowing light. She just managed to form the Immortal Soul not long ago and became the next Immortal Soul sword cultivator in the Sword of Radiance Sect after the Supreme Radiance Swordmaster.

Many years ago, her Aurous Core cracked and caused her cultivation to stall for hundreds of years. She cultivated tirelessly over these years and finally managed to achieve success. She superseded the Purple Clouds Grandmaster, Azure Clouds Grandmaster, and many other elders, as she reached the Immortal Soul Stage.

Tao Yaoyao wasn’t vexed either as she heard her words. She twisted her mouth and smiled, “You dare to mock me with nonsense? Do you believe I’ll tear your mouth apart? If you didn’t back out of your marriage then, you may be in a different situation now.”

Murong Yanran smiled, “If I didn’t back out of my marriage, we won’t have been together. Moreover, it’s a thing of the past. It’s gone with the wind.”

Tao Yaoyao laughed, “Focus on your cultivation. This is a path that only you can walk. Only by working hard can you see results. Results won’t come because of someone else.”

Murong Yanran laughed, “Yes, I’ll remember your advice.”

When this engagement ceremony ended, the segment that concerned the junior disciples began.

It was definitely a good experience for many of the younger cultivators to watch the Flaming Emperor Xiao Yan’s engagement ceremony. In addition, they were allowed the opportunity to socialize with one another, expanding their connections.

Of course, those who had conflicts with one another were placed in awkward situations.

In the Longevity City, a grand conference jointly organized by the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Gu Empire was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity for the junior disciples to hone their skills.

The junior disciples who performed well in this conference were rewarded by the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Gu Empire. The top few were even given an opportunity to enter the Starry Sea for the Baptism of the Original Stellar Light.

Besides the conference, the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Gu Empire also organized a grand, pill cultivation contest, which was reminiscent of the Antiquity Age when pill cultivation contests were very common.

After the Antiquity Age, pill cultivation contests were never as grand anymore.

However, everyone’s interest was piqued as the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Gu Empire organized this pill cultivation contest.

The pills that the Celestial Sect of Wonders included in the betrothal gifts left everyone very excited.

Besides the contest, the cultivators could also interact with one another in this important setting. This brought a lot of opportunities for everyone to exchange for the pills that they always wanted. It was also a good chance for everyone to expand their knowledge of pill cultivation.

The Longevity City was bustling and prosperous now. The bunch of junior disciples was graced with an eye-opening experience.

For Lin Feng, Gu Jun and the other leading figures in the Divine Lands, they quietly watched the conference and pill cultivation contests and gave their comments.

For the Thunderclouds Holy Man, Heavenly Master Swordmaster, Shi Zongtang and the others, their focus was drawn to the stuff that the Celestial Sect of Wonders brought along.

Gu Jun was also concerned about what Lin Feng mentioned earlier.
