Chapter 852: Choosing a Dao Companion

“Oh my god, this is a divine reversal! He’s the ultimate winner in life! Everyone, did you hear that? Two powerful races are fighting over him for their goddesses? My heart aches so much!” The Black Blood Platform commentator, Xue Ying Wudi, clutched his chest dramatically, like Xi Shi in pain, and kept crying out about his aching heart.

The commentator from the Primal Beast Platform also exclaimed, “This… a surreal scene is unfolding here. Did I see that right? Did I hear that correctly? The Great Dream Pure Land and the Ancient Immortal Clan both want to marry off their daughters, and they’ve both chosen Wu Lunhui?”

Immediately, the entire universe was in an uproar. The live broadcasts from these platforms had an immeasurable impact, shocking countless cultivators across various regions who were following the Great Dream Pure Land.

Some people were completely petrified, staring wide-eyed at their quantum computers. They couldn’t help but feel it was all a bit fake. “Is this for real?” they wondered.

The Black Blood Platform commentator, in his exaggerated style, declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am on the front lines here! Wu Lunhui isn’t just the ultimate victor; it looks like he’s also won the heart of a beauty! Both powerful races have chosen him! To be honest… I want to die! Qin Luoyin is my dream goddess!”

Across the universe, chaos erupted. Many were jolted awake!

“Wait a minute, I must have had too much of my old wine. What did that monkey-faced commentator from Black Blood Platform just say? Is he out of his mind?”

A super elder from a certain race was sipping wine while staring at his quantum computer. Earlier, he had been observing the tragic fates of various clans in the Great Dream Pure Land, smiling contentedly as it didn’t concern him.

But now, his intoxication instantly wore off. His face changed dramatically, and he slammed his hand on the table, leaping to his feet. He cried, “The Ancient Immortal Clan’s bride was already reserved by our race for a marital alliance!”

“Oh, my heart is tearing apart! It hurts so much! My goddess, my immortal fairy, why are they both marrying one man? Is this going to be a drama of two women fighting over one husband?”

Some young people beat their chests and stamped their feet, looking as if they would challenge Wu Lunhui to a fight on the spot, regardless of whether they could win.

Some intensely reacting youths even drew their blades, wishing they could rush to the Great Dream Pure Land and engage in a decisive battle with Wu Lunhui.

Even within the Great Dream Pure Land, some people turned pale, unable to accept the news. For example, Ying Wudi was clutching his chest and muttering.

“How can my sister marry this young punk? And why do I get so irritated every time I see him?” Ying Wudi asked himself.

Chu Feng, standing clearly visible in the grand hall, had been observing the people outside. He felt a surge of annoyance, realizing that this brother-in-law was naturally at odds with him.

“What is love, that it can make one promise life and death?” Some scholars sighed dramatically, looking utterly dejected, as if life had lost all meaning.

Naturally, there was also no shortage of hostility directed at Wu Lunhui.

Chu Feng really wanted to say, “What does this have to do with me?”

He hadn't even truly become their Dao companion yet, but he already felt chills. A group of young men, like hungry wolves with glowing green eyes, were fixated on him.

“Why is it that I suddenly find the Great Demon Chu Feng adorable, a hundred times better than this Wu Lunhui?” someone cried out indignantly.

“Exactly! The Great Demon Chu Feng is a true character, a real hero! He sold so many divine sons and saintesses but never defiled anyone. But this Wu Lunhui… he’s truly despicable!”

“Yeah! Great Demon Chu Feng, where are you? Why don’t you strike this Wu Lunhui dead?”

A group of young people hurled curses, some of their voices reaching Chu Feng’s ears. Many of them were cosmic-level geniuses who had received golden invitations.

Wu Lunhui felt a pang in his teeth. If it weren’t for the need to maintain his noble and righteous persona, he would have loved to go over there, teach each of them a lesson, round them all up, sell those who could be sold, and beat those who deserved it.

The only thing that brought Chu Feng comfort was the silver-haired loli who, disregarding all obstacles, burst into the divine hall, threw her arms around Chu Feng’s arm, and sweetly called out, “Brother-in-law!”

This was devastating. Outside the hall, a group of young men clenched their fists. Even several old women from the Great Dream Pure Land had grim expressions, feeling that the Ancient Immortal Clan was resorting to underhanded tactics.

“Cough!” In the distance, Ying Wudi coughed. A tiny, almost imperceptible trace of crimson appeared at the corner of his mouth, which he quickly wiped away.

“Brother Ying, what’s wrong? Your sister is getting married and has chosen her Dao companion. You should be happy. Why does your face seem to be getting darker?” asked Princess Yuan Yuan of the Primordial Demon Clan, smiling.

“Nothing at all! I’m… very happy!” Ying Wudi was clearly swallowing his anger.

In the distance, Chu Feng’s mouth twitched. This brother-in-law truly had no conscience with his words. “Fine, let him stew in it!”

“Young friend, what are your thoughts?” In the divine hall, the elder of the Dao Clan’s mouth twitched. He had originally intended to propose marriage to the Ancient Immortal Clan on behalf of Daoist Jin Lin.

“Hmm, young friend, which one will you choose?” The elder of the White Phoenix Clan, suppressing his grief, found he had the leisure to stir up trouble, trying to corner Chu Feng. He wanted to see how Chu Feng would declare himself, knowing that choosing one would surely offend the other clan.

In an instant, the expressions of both the Ancient Immortal Clan and the Great Dream Pure Land members changed. They were already intensely competing and negotiating in secret. No matter the choice, an open conflict had to be avoided; a harmonious outcome was desired. But now, the old monsters from the other clans clearly had malicious intentions.

“Ancient Immortal Clan, you are going too far! Are you trying to bully us, thinking the Great Dream Pure Land is no match for you?”

This was, of course, a silent accusation, not to be uttered openly.

The elder of the Ancient Immortal Clan, calm and composed, said, “How could that be? You must know that our little princess, Ying Xiaoxiao, already called Wu Lunhui ‘brother-in-law’ earlier. Since the Immortal Descendant and he have already become Dao companions in another world, we naturally wish to see it through. Are we supposed to break up a pair of lovers? Rather, why is your Great Dream Pure Land trying to interfere?”

“You clearly didn’t acknowledge Wu Lunhui earlier and publicly denied him. Whereas our Great Dream Pure Land announced a year ago that we would choose a Dao companion for our Saintess, and the chosen one would be the strongest participant in this trial.”

A group of elders secretly engaged in a fierce war of words, directly arguing, each stating their own reasons.

“Brother-in-law, you can’t just take advantage and then deny it!” Inside the divine hall, the silver-haired loli was truly unrestrained, saying anything that came to mind, practically cornering him.

Her words made her own sister want to hit her; she was utterly infuriating!

Even the elders of the Ancient Immortal Clan had twitching faces and wanted to strangle her. Calling him “brother-in-law” was already bold enough, but to say something like that left no room for retreat!

If, in the end, Wu Lunhui and Ying Zhixian did not become Dao companions, how humiliating would that be for the Ancient Immortal Clan?

An old woman from the Great Dream Pure Land, her eyes sparkling, also decided to go all out. Seeing that the Ancient Immortal Clan had left no room for retreat, she was very direct: “Young Daoist Wu, since you came for the trial, you should know our rules. The final victor is to become Dao companion with our Saintess.”

At this moment, Ying Zhixian was led into the divine hall by an elder. She was cool and otherworldly, her white robes pure and sacred, her black hair cascading like a waterfall. Her entire being was ethereal and transcendent.

Qin Luoyin also arrived, dressed in splendid attire, a vibrant colorful gown, appearing graceful and luxurious. With a slender waist, long legs, and a swan-like neck, her exquisitely beautiful face exuded a goddess-like aura, calm and composed.

Both women were peerless beauties, their radiant splendor illuminating each other. They were like goddesses descended from the upper realms.

“Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out?” the silver-haired loli urged.

Ying Wudi also arrived, unable to hold back. He secretly threatened Chu Feng, transmitting a private message: “Wu Lunhui, I don’t like the look of you. It would be best if you don’t enter my Ying family’s door.”

Chu Feng ignored him, patting the silver-haired loli’s head before looking at the two women.

The old man from the Corpse Clan also sneered, speaking up at this moment. He wanted to see one of the two clans embarrassed, even hoping they would turn against each other. He stoked the flames, saying, “Young friend, which one will you choose?”

At this moment, everyone—whether inside the divine hall, outside the palace, or watching the live broadcast—fell silent. They stared at Wu Lunhui, eager to see his final decision.

Of course, many felt indignant. These were two goddesses, and yet two entire races were trying to snatch a husband? What kind of world was this?!

Chu Feng sighed softly. He didn’t speak at first, looking left and right. Finally, he asked, “Must I choose?”

“Of course!” several old monsters urged in unison.

Not just them and the live broadcast viewers, even Ying Zhixian and Qin Luoyin themselves were gazing at Chu Feng at this moment. It wasn’t about anything else; they simply wanted to see his genuine reaction and choice.

After all, one was known as an Immortal Descendant, and the other was regarded as a goddess by the youths of various clans. Both were proud and confident, and this was the first time they were being chosen.

Undoubtedly, for both of them, their past experiences in the alien realm were forgotten. There was no talk of affection at this moment; the focus was more on Chu Feng’s attitude. And when the two women looked at each other, for them, it was nothing less than a battle of charm and influence.

“Young friend, how will you choose? Heh heh…” An old monster chuckled maliciously.

“Brother-in-law!” The silver-haired loli shook Chu Feng’s arm.

Ouyang Feng shouted, “If he chooses the older sister, there’s also the silver-haired loli. It’s so obvious! Great Dream Pure Land, you should add another person too!”

He was clearly trying to cause chaos. The Ancient Immortal Clan members glared at him furiously. Ying Wudi, in particular, wanted to fight him to the death. Sacrificing one sister only to offer up another? He really wanted to beat that black swan to death!

“Alright then,” Chu Feng said, looking up. He gazed at Ying Zhixian of the Ancient Immortal Clan, then at Qin Luoyin of the Great Dream Pure Land. Finally, he sighed, “I hope all clans can live in harmony. Too many painful things have already happened today.” At this point, he looked at the old monster from the Corpse Clan with an incredibly sympathetic expression, then turned to the Dao Clan, Golden Sky Spider Clan, White Phoenix Clan, and others, offering words of comfort. This was practically re-provoking all those old monsters who had just been malicious, ripping open their old wounds.

“Therefore, I still won’t choose. Choosing one would hurt the other, leading to discord between the two clans. I don’t wish for such a thing to happen,” Chu Feng said with a serious expression.

The Black Blood Platform commentator reacted quickly, instantly slamming his hand on the table and shouting, “What righteousness! Truly worthy of the Revolving King! Facing two peerless celestial maidens, he can still consider the greater good like this! His integrity is as high as the heavens; he doesn’t wish for discord between the two clans!”

Throughout the universe, some people were indeed surprised. Many young people immediately broke into smiles and praised Wu Lunhui. In an instant, no one was cursing him anymore; everyone spoke highly of him.

“Isn’t this inappropriate? Both clans are like this now. If you reject both, how will these two immortal maidens face the world afterward?”

An old monster pressed him aggressively, mentioning again that Chu Feng should make a choice.

Then, even more people looked towards the Ancient Immortal Clan and the Great Dream Pure Land, saying that since they both wanted Wu Lunhui, he should make his stance clear.

In fact, both clans had some regrets. Now they were pushed to the brink; their earlier decisiveness had left them no room for retreat.

Finally, they all looked at Chu Feng, their meaning very clear.

“Since that’s the case…” Wu Lunhui began, sighing softly, appearing as if he didn’t want things to spiral out of control. He expressed a desire for harmony, then, with an air of dignified righteousness, declared, “Then I choose both!”

Holy cow! Ouyang Feng’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor. He really wanted to say, ‘This is so Chu Feng!’ He’d been holding back for ages, only pretending to be cornered while secretly brewing a big move.

Around them, a group of people were dumbfounded, utterly silent. Many instantly looked towards the Great Dream Pure Land and the Ancient Immortal Clan, and more specifically, at Qin Luoyin and Ying Zhixian.
