Chapter 3136: The Great Emperor Returns
"Even the Saint realm cultivators in the Undying Blood Clan know that your relationship with Xia Yu is unusual. How could your maternal grandfather not know? He is deliberately forcing you to marry Xia Yu! Because he knows that if he directly asked you to marry her, you would definitely refuse." Xue Hou said with a smile.
Zhang Ruochen had actually suspected this for a long time, but he wasn't entirely certain.
"Grandfather really put a lot of thought into this."
Xue Hou said, "Among the grandchildren, you are your maternal grandfather's favorite. Naturally, he hopes that one of your descendants will carry the bloodline of the Undying Blood Clan. Throughout the entire Undying Blood Clan, Xia Yu is the most suitable."
"However, your maternal grandfather is, after all, the Great Clan Leader of the Blood Heaven Tribe. Once he says something, he will not easily change it. If you don't make your stance clear, this matter will become a reality. Chen'er, Xia Yu is a good child, and her heart is set on you. What are you really thinking?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly and said, "If I ask my true heart, it hasn't reached the point of marriage."
"If you did marry her, how would you treat her?" Xue Hou asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, "I haven't thought about it! She is Mother's disciple, a comrade-in-arms I once fought alongside. Forcing her to marry Blood Chen, or forcing her to marry me, is unfair to her either way."
"I understand! When she returns after successfully overcoming her tribulation, I will ask her wishes and let her make the decision herself." Xue Hou said.
In front of Xue Jue War God, could Xia Yu truly make a decision for herself?
Zhang Ruochen only felt a headache coming on. In the matter of carrying on the family line, whether mortal or god, one must face the distress of being urged to marry by one's elders.
Xue Hou thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Ying'er came to pay her respects to me. She has already achieved godhood through spiritual power."
Zhang Ruochen said, "So fast?"
"You know her origins well enough. She cannot be judged by common sense." Xue Hou said.
Yan Ying'er's ascension to godhood exceeded Zhang Ruochen's expectations, causing his thoughts to churn.
Had the Severing Dao Curse of the Zhang Clan been completely lifted?
Not necessarily.
Although Yan Ying'er carried Zhang Ruochen's bloodline, she could not be fully considered a descendant of the Zhang Clan. She had many special characteristics and might not be affected by the Severing Dao Curse.
The Severing Dao Curse had always troubled Zhang Ruochen, and he was very worried about the futures of Chi Kunlun, Chi Kongle, Zhang Hongchen, and the others.
Although Jue Miao had promised Zhang Ruochen to help the Zhang Clan lift the Severing Dao Curse, with her current cultivation, she probably could not yet influence the decisions made by the Nether Hall.
He would have to find an opportunity to meet Jue Miao and discuss this matter properly.
...
The Wuding Divine Sea, with waves soaring ten thousand zhang high, the wind cold as a blade.
This was an ocean floating in the universe, lying between the Yellow Spring Star River and the Heavenly Court Myriad Realms, spanning over a hundred billion li. Ordinary cultivators could only sigh at its vastness.
For the past hundred thousand years, both the Hell Realm and the Heavenly Court had built fortresses, bastions, and war islands in the Wuding Divine Sea, dispatching countless troops to guard it. This had always been the center of cosmic slaughter.
It was not until the Starry Sky Battlefield in the ancient civilized star domain erupted that the Wuding Divine Sea became calm.
But the war had never ceased.
The Xuan Gu Nine-Eyed Dragon God was a cosmic-level titan of the Death Clan, a being qualified to challenge the Twenty Heavens. It was a dragon bone from the Xuan Gu Era, which had gained sentience a million years ago and cultivated to its current height.
Later, it transformed from the Bone Clan into the Death Clan.
It had long been stationed in the Wuding Divine Sea, its skeletal body like a ten-thousand-li white mountain range, floating in a forbidden sea area of the Wuding Divine Sea.
The sea area became forbidden because of its presence.
This vast sea region was sealed by divine patterns like chains, with gray deathly aura spreading across the water's surface, full of danger.
A tall, straight man in black clothes appeared from somewhere, his body alternating between solid and ethereal, like a projection of heaven and earth in the mortal realm. He walked across the water's surface with an unhurried gait, passing through the deathly aura and heading toward the heart of the forbidden sea area.
He did not use any special means, yet the divine patterns laid down by the Xuan Gu Nine-Eyed Dragon God automatically parted before him.
"Who goes there?"
Two Great Gods leaped up from two small islands ahead, charging toward the man, each activating a bell-like Supreme Sacred Artifact.
But their bodies froze on the water's surface, as if turned to stone, unable to move.
Waves churned on the water.
Shock filled the eyes of the two Great Gods, but only their eyeballs could move.
The Xuan Gu Nine-Eyed Dragon God awakened from its cultivation, flew up from the water, and its nine divine eyes erupted with seven different powers: Light, Darkness, Fate, Space, Origin, Death, Life, Water, and Fire. Nine completely different Divine Realm worlds manifested.
"Who are you, to dare trespass on my cultivation ground?"
As the voice sounded, space trembled violently.
The Xuan Gu Nine-Eyed Dragon God was deeply shocked inwardly, because the other party had already arrived before it before it even sensed their presence. Their cultivation was unfathomably deep.
Could such a figure exist in the universe?
The space around the black-clothed man, which had been distorted, gradually smoothed out, revealing his true appearance. He said, "Nine Eyes, it's me."
The Xuan Gu Nine-Eyed Dragon God was overjoyed and called out, "Heavenly Venerable!"
The restraints on the two Death Clan Great Gods disappeared. Trembling all over, they showed ecstatic expressions, kneeling on one knee before the black-clothed man in worship.
After many years, the Heavenly Venerable had finally returned to the Hell Realm!
...
Time passed quickly, and the day of the grand wedding arrived.
Countless cultivators from the Hell Realm traveled from all directions to the Fate Divine Domain, as lively as the Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet. Because this wedding ceremony would be held at the Destiny Temple, with sacrifices to heaven and earth and prayers to fate, auspicious light and rosy clouds would surely descend.
If one could bathe in the auspicious light and rosy clouds, they could gain great fortune and be favored by fate.
Feng Chen Sword God carried a sword gleaming with pearls and treasures, and together with three gods from the Shura Divine Temple, crossed a wormhole and descended into the starry sky of the Non-Return Forest where the three World Trees were located.
His hair drifted across his cheeks, his white robes immaculate, his sword-like brows and starry eyes exuding heroic grace, enough to make the women of the world infatuated with him.
Looking toward the distant divine ships draped in red and adorned with colors, Feng Chen Sword God laughed and said, "Quite the grand spectacle! One might think it's the Clan Leader getting married!"
Beside him, a god with two horns on his head said, "Isn't that lead divine ship the Luo Yun Divine Ship of the Undying Blood Clan's Clan Leader?"
"Xue Jue has quite the face, even inviting the old Clan Leader to help Zhang Ruochen fetch the bride." A woman draped in purple gauze stepped out from the wormhole, with a Gate of Destiny behind her.
The Gate of Destiny was wrapped in flames, radiating intense heat, as if it could melt everything in the world.
Including Feng Chen Sword God, the four gods of the Shura Divine Temple all bowed to the purple-gauze woman.
Feng Chen Sword God was unrestrained and laughed, "If Bei Shi Divine God were to marry Zhang Ruochen, I believe the spectacle would be even greater than today's."
The other three gods all changed color, not daring to breathe loudly.
The purple-gauze woman was named Ni Xuan Bei Shi, the eighth-generation granddaughter of Ni Xuan God Venerable of the Shura Divine Temple, and the number one powerhouse below the Infinite Realm among the Shura Clan.
Although Xue Jue War God's wife, Ni Xuan Shi, was not as powerful as Ni Xuan Bei Shi, her seniority was higher.
Feng Chen Sword God knew that ten years ago, when Xue Jue War God visited the Shura Divine Temple to pay respects to Ni Xuan God Venerable, he had specifically proposed marrying Ni Xuan Bei Shi to Zhang Ruochen.
But later, it was said that Xue Jue War God and Ni Xuan Bei Shi had a fight, and he left the Shura Divine Temple with injuries.
At that time, the entire Shura Divine Temple joked that Xue Jue War God was seeking reinforcements because he feared his grandson-in-law Wu Yue.
In the past few hundred thousand years in the Hell Realm, there were four women who absolutely could not be provoked.
One Jue, one Wu, one Lion, one Cicada.
Jue Miao Wu Yu, Wu Yue Wu Qing. Bei Shi Ru Shou, Qing Chan Ru Jian.
"Feng Chen, you are becoming more and more reckless! For the next ten thousand years, you will cultivate separately!" Ni Xuan Bei Shi said.
Feng Chen Sword God sensed danger and asked, "What do you mean by cultivating separately?"
"Shua!"
A streak of light flew from Ni Xuan Bei Shi's slender, jade-like fingertip, cutting Feng Chen Sword God in half at the waist, splitting him in two.
Blood spilled for a hundred li.
Ni Xuan Bei Shi's eyes showed no ripples as she said, "Zhao Wu, take Feng Chen's lower half back to the Divine Temple and keep him in seclusion for cultivation. The rest of you, along with half of Feng Chen, follow me to the Fate Divine Mountain to attend the wedding ceremony of Wu Yue and Zhang Ruochen."
The god with two horns on his head cast a sympathetic glance at Feng Chen Sword God, bowed to Ni Xuan Bei Shi, and then carried the lower half of Feng Chen Sword God's body through the wormhole and away.
Feng Chen Sword God, now only the upper half of his body, was stunned. He tried to use blood qi to regenerate his lower half but found it impossible.
Feng Chen Sword God raised his war sword horizontally, his eyes sharp, and coldly shouted, "Ni Xuan Bei Shi!"
"For practicing the Sword Dao, only your hands are needed! Do you want your head separated too?" Ni Xuan Bei Shi glanced sideways, as cold as a ten-thousand-li glacier.
Feng Chen Sword God put away his war sword and forced a carefree smile: "No need, I think this is fine now. I feel a whole lot lighter."
For the first time, Feng Chen Sword God deeply realized that some women in this world truly could not be provoked. Any theory would fail when applied to them. At the same time, he began to sympathize with Zhang Ruochen.
Because according to legend, Wu Yue was an even more unprovokable woman than Ni Xuan Bei Shi.
...
The Luo Yun Divine Ship led the way, with the Blood Color Divine Centipede Ship following behind.
Further back were one hundred and eight Blood Wing Saint Ships, with one hundred and eight False Gods standing at their prows. Saint realm cultivators of the Undying Blood Clan, with blood wings and wearing red wedding robes, stood on both sides of the Saint Ships.
A total of one hundred and ten giant ships, pulled by hundreds of thousands of Red Feather Snow Geese, crossed through wormholes and Space Teleportation Arrays, heading toward the star domain where the Darkness Temple was located.
On the Blood Color Divine Centipede Ship, Zhang Ruochen looked at Xia Yu standing opposite him and said, "The Great Clan Leader's betrothal decree, Mother has already told you, hasn't she?"
Xia Yu's expression was calm as she said, "Yes."
"What did you say?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xia Yu said, "The Great Clan Leader's will, Xia Yu cannot defy, just as you cannot defy Void Heaven's betrothal decree. But I am better off than you; I have another choice. I can choose to return this cultivation to you and give this life back to the Blood Heaven Tribe, only asking Senior Brother to look after the Xia Clan and not let them suffer bullying."
In her calm eyes, a resolute heart was revealed.
"Are you so unwilling to marry into the Blood Absolute Family?" Zhang Ruochen regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth.
Standing opposite him, Xia Yu's eyes seemed to be dripping with water as she stared intently at Zhang Ruochen, causing him to suffer inwardly. Self-inflicted suffering, no one to blame.
