Chapter 1559: Wedding Night

When they met again, the person was the same, but their feelings were already vastly different.

By now, past events had long faded; there was no longer any talk of old grievances or affections, as it had merely been a small interlude from days gone by. Ye Fan expressed his gratitude and invited her inside.

Feng Huang had already removed her five-colored mask, revealing a strikingly beautiful and peerless face. She sighed to herself and walked into the magnificent palace.

So many years had passed, and all she could lament was how incredibly difficult it was to become a Quasi-Emperor and achieve the Dao; it was rare to see anyone accomplish it in a lifetime.

This world was too vast and full of extraordinary individuals, but if one truly wished to achieve the Dao, without unforeseen circumstances or strange events from the mythical era, only one person could succeed.

The grand statements made in youth now seemed like overly ambitious goals, almost impossible to realize. But that's how life is: many things envisioned as perfect in adolescence turn out differently when the day actually arrives. Life constantly whittles down our expectations and brings disappointment.

This was real life; no matter how beautiful the aspirations, they could not become reality. One had to face it eventually.

"Congratulations, Sister Ziyue, hehe..." Huo Lin'er had also arrived, her long, water-blue hair exceptionally bright, her figure slender and radiant, truly a vision of peerless grace.

On this day, all sorts of distinguished guests arrived for the grand and magnificent wedding, giving the impression that a great gathering of all races in the universe was underway, with every conceivable race represented.

The ancient races felt the deepest sentiment. In the past, when Ye Fan was in the Beidou Star Domain, he had been so relentlessly hunted by various Saints that he had nowhere to run or hide. He had no choice but to flee to the outer regions, remaining away for over a hundred years. When he returned again, everything was different, completely rewritten. He could now be compared to and stand as an equal with the first ancient ancestors of various races, and no one dared to pursue him anymore.

By now, he was an influential "big figure" in the Beidou Star Domain, and few dared to provoke him!

Most importantly, people saw a glimpse of a glorious future in him, radiating immense brilliance. The complete mastery of the Sacred Body would be inevitable; by then, he could even challenge a Great Emperor!

In this world, while others were still struggling to find a path, Ye Fan already possessed a unique, natural advantage. Regardless of who achieved the Dao, he would have the strength to contend with them after cultivating to the ultimate realm. This was also the fundamental reason why the Divine Court Emperor valued him and personally wrote to win him over.

It was unknown how many tables were set for the banquet. So many distinguished experts arrived, with countless races and powerful individuals from Beidou to the outer regions, that not even all the Saints could fully attend.

The Ji family was bustling with activity and filled with festivity. Firecrackers exploded, and various divine melodies played. Maidens like ethereal fairies danced across the sky, while auspicious birds like blue luan and lightning phoenixes soared amidst swirling white mists. Sections of palaces hung high in the sky, as if one had arrived in the celestial realm.

The atmosphere was lively and peaceful, and everyone drank cup after cup of wine, maintaining a high level of enthusiasm throughout the wedding.

Some children ran around, treating it as the most joyous festival. Little Nannan was very lively, jumping and playing with children her age, darting through the crowd with a rosy little face full of happy smiles.

Her every move was watched by many because she was so extraordinary; she had even terrified the Emperor's son into a frantic, crying fit, and the Flying Immortal Domain that appeared behind her was truly astounding.

Some even wanted to abduct Little Nannan to thoroughly study her and uncover her true origins. Of course, this was merely a thought. Who would dare act violently within the Ji family? Furthermore, given how terrified the Emperor's son had been, no one was willing to risk their lives.

"Cheng Dao, call me 'Brother' from now on. I'll teach you peerless divine abilities, guaranteed to make you invincible throughout the world—except for me, of course!" The Divine Child boasted, saying a lot to little Cheng Dao.

In fact, he looked much smaller than Cheng Dao, who was already six years old, valiant and prominent, unlike the Divine Child who was still naked.

Ji Cheng Dao pouted and ignored the little fatty.

"Hey, didn't you see me beat up that grandson of the Immortal Mausoleum Ancient Emperor? You still don't believe my strength?" The Divine Child was displeased.

Nearby, everyone broke into a cold sweat. How could that statement be so misleading? If it truly reached the Immortal Mausoleum, it would likely enrage the descendants of the ancient Supremes, causing them to directly kill their way over.

"Cough!"

The Black Emperor coughed, standing upright like a human-like dog, its large paws clasped behind its back. It slowly walked over, trying hard to put on a benevolent expression as it smiled, revealing its teeth.

Beside it, several Ji family children were immediately scared to tears, crying loudly as they ran away.

"The big black wolf is here, it's going to eat people!"

"The worst big bad wolf!"

The Black Emperor was annoyed. "Who's teaching these children such nonsense? How can they slander me like this?" it thought, extremely indignant.

"Cheng Dao..." The big black dog smiled, truly like a big bad wolf. It considered itself very benevolent, but after revealing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth, it made the nearby Saints uneasy.

"Uncle Big Black Wolf, is something wrong?" Ji Cheng Dao blinked his large eyes, looking at him puzzled.

"Who taught you that?" The big black dog was furious that it was actually referred to as a wolf. But in fact, it really did look like one.

"Granny Wolf!" shouted the Divine Child. "What do you want with little Cheng Dao? Do you want to bully him? You'll have to get past me first; he's my little brother."

"Go play somewhere else, you silly child," the Black Emperor said, swatting it aside with a paw. It then smiled and said to Ji Cheng Dao, "I see that your bone structure is extraordinary, and a supreme, sacred blood seems to flow within you. How about I teach you for a few years and take you as my registered disciple?"

Ji Cheng Dao's little face showed a troubled expression. He looked left and right, not stating his position.

"What's wrong? Do you have any concerns?" the Black Emperor asked.

"My father warned me when he was in the outer regions," the little fellow answered truthfully, "to beware of Duan De and to beware of the big black wolf."

"Damn it!" The big black dog was even more indignant. Then it righteously declared, "Come with me, and I guarantee you'll be fine!"

Just then, an astonishing surge of killing intent swept over. Not far away, Ji Haoyue appeared, his face dark, staring at the big black dog with murderous intent.

The Black Emperor coughed dryly and said, "Listen, Ji family Divine Body, I'm not kidnapping your child. I'm seriously saying I want to teach him for a few days."

"No!" Ji Haoyue refused decisively and curtly. No one would feel at ease; look at how the Divine Child, just a tiny thing, turned out after just a few days of its tutelage. What would happen if little Cheng Dao were handed over to it?

"The children I teach are cute and lively, and they all have their own personalities, right, you silly child?" the Black Emperor asked the little fatty beside him.

The Divine Child immediately stuck out his little backside, turned away, and presented the back of his head, ignoring him.

"The children I teach are all geniuses," the big black dog said shamelessly. "Even this silly Divine Child has shone brightly; don't you believe in my ability? Plus Hua Hua from before, that's undeniable proof."

"Who's calling me?" Hua Hua ran over. After learning the truth, he said, "Uncle Ji, you can rest assured. If you feel uneasy, just hand little brother Cheng Dao over to me. I guarantee he'll be invincible in the future."

"Smack!"

Ji Haoyue lightly smacked him on his shiny head, saying, "Go stay somewhere cool." It was inappropriate to act against the Black Emperor, but there were no taboos against disciplining a junior.

Hua Hua was quite wronged and indignant. He walked to the side and muttered, "Who did I offend? Why does everyone like to smack me on the head? I'm going to return to secular life after this!"

The Dragon Horse and his group finally appeared in time, also coming to attend the grand wedding. However, Ji Haoyue still strictly guarded them, maintaining a dark expression and not allowing them to approach little Cheng Dao.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth, second bow to the parents, then the couple bows to each other..."

Inside the Ji family, auspicious voices called out loudly. As it reached the final moment, the air was filled with joyous laughter.

"Sister Ziyue, make sure to keep your man in line," Huo Lin'er joked, sending a whispered message.

On the other side, many acquaintances were raising their glasses. Zhang Wenchang, Liu Yiyi, the Saintess of Jade Lake, Jiang Yifei, and others had all come forward to offer their blessings.

Candlelight flickered as Ye Fan entered the bridal chamber. It was a brilliant starry night, and the room was filled with warmth. A slender and captivating woman sat there, covered by a red veil.

Lifting the red veil signified a lifetime together. Ye Fan stepped forward and gently lifted it, revealing a face of stunning beauty. In the candlelight, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her large eyes full of vivacity. She gave a faint smile, revealing small dimples, and her sparkling little canine teeth were so unique.

A woman's most beautiful moment is naturally this one, and it is one of the most touching moments in a lifetime.

Ji Ziyue, with her playful and lively personality, stood up, her skirt swaying. Her slender, supple waist and beautiful figure were fully revealed. She walked to the table on her own and said, "I've smelled delicious food for a while now; just sitting here is so boring."

Her fair cheeks glowed with a crystalline luster, and her dark hair was soft and smooth. She wasn't nervous at all; she lively poured Ye Fan a glass of wine too, smiling brightly.

"Ziyue, it's getting late."

"Mm, I know. I'm hungry, I want to eat."

"You shouldn't drink too much wine."

"It's just a small jar. Back then, I drank five jars, and my divine powers became unmatched, directly suppressing my brother." She was comically exaggerating, with a unique charm.

"If I drank ten jars, I could definitely suppress you too," she said with a giggle.

Finally, late into the night, Ye Fan said, "It's time to rest."

"I haven't had enough yet," Ji Ziyue said, stretching her slender waist and hiccuping lightly, her little face flushed like a ripe fruit.

This night was warm, brilliant, and unforgettable. No matter how many years passed or what the future held, Ye Fan would never forget it; it was forever etched in his heart, becoming his most cherished memory.

The heavens and earth collapsed as a soul-shaking sound echoed, making the entire Southern Domain tremble and more than half of the Eastern Wasteland fall into turmoil. Brilliant light shot into the sky, shaking the very foundations of the world.

The entire Beidou region was swept by a tempest, and all cultivators were shocked!

"The Immortal Road has collapsed, the path to immortality is about to open!"

"The Immortal Domain is about to be opened up! The two realms will be connected, and becoming an immortal in this generation is no longer an illusion; it's about to become a reality! Someone can take that step!"

"The immortal gate has exploded open! It truly connected to the Immortal Domain, and immortal spirits are falling from within!"

The whole world was shocked, and Saints of all races cried out.

At the same time, light tore through the heavens and earth from all seven great Forbidden Life Zones, piercing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and shaking the human world. The ancient Supremes within the Forbidden Life Zones had all revived!
