Chapter 72: The Wind Rises in Heaven

  Di Wu flew quickly and soon left the 33rd Heaven. Di Wu looked around, vaguely seeing Nu Wa's Dao field, but only caught a glimpse before continuing to fly towards Hun Dun. Decades later, Di Wu arrived at the edge of the Hong Huang Guang, his thoughts drifting as he felt a sense of nostalgia. Last time he entered Hun Dun, he was baptized by the Great Way and almost lost his life, but also met Pan Gu's residual consciousness, obtaining the You Ming Shu and Huang Quan Qi. This time, he didn't know what opportunities would arise. And there was Yang Mei who had helped him before, now unknown whether she was still in Hong Huang or not.

  Emperor Wu didn't think much, and with a leap, he crossed the light screen and suddenly appeared in the midst of chaos. However, Emperor Wu had already branded himself with the 3,000 rules of the Great Dao, so there was no need to undergo the baptism of the Great Dao again. The chaos also did not show any signs of turbulence, but instead remained very calm.

  What a relief! Di Wu felt a wave of emotion, this body was still suitable for the Chaos, being wrapped in the air of the Chaos, and yet there was no feeling of chest tightness or oppression. The air of the Chaos was guided into his physical body, and it actually made a crackling sound, his magical powers suddenly condensed a lot. Di Wu no longer hesitated, he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Tao. In the originally quiet Chaos, there was finally once again a figure.

  In the heavenly court above, Emperor Jun's grand wedding ceremony was once again filled with joyful songs and laughter. However, the time had not yet arrived, and no Taoist priests had come to officiate, only numerous demons and gods were busy making preparations.

  Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Emperor Jun Taiyi and Xihe Changxi four people started discussing, in fact, it was just Emperor Jun and Xihe who were discussing, Taiyi and Changxi were just accompanying.

  "The grand wedding is imminent, can it be used to establish the heavenly marriage, set the three principles, establish the moral law, and stabilize the yin-yang order of the universe?" Xihe suddenly spoke up, but when she mentioned the grand wedding, she didn't show the usual shyness of a woman.

  Di Jun's eyes lit up, "Not bad, nowadays the Hong Huang is still chaotic, with many living beings in disarray and losing their natural order. If we use this grand wedding as a heavenly marriage, and all living beings emulate it, countless merits will descend upon us."

  Xihe smiled slightly, unexpectedly Emperor Jun was able to guess her thoughts so quickly, it's also a tacit understanding, marrying him seems like the right decision.

  Taiyi was bored on the sidelines, but he was actually sizing up Changxi, who was also speechless. He saw that she had a unique temperament and couldn't help but like her in his heart. An idea sprouted, wondering if he could also marry her as his wife, and then have a grand wedding with his brother, celebrating together under the same sky. Once this thought emerged, it couldn't be suppressed anymore. These two were also yin and yang, naturally attracting each other. Taiyi having such thoughts was normal.

  However, Xihe furrowed her brow at this time. She was already entangled in the matter of marrying Emperor Jun, and seeing Taiyi looking at her like that made her feel uneasy all over, her mood turned bad, and she suddenly became annoyed. In the past, Hou Yi looked at her like that, she only felt shy, now Taiyi looked at her like that, but she was annoyed, it's also a twist of fate, not enough affinity.

  The grand wedding of Emperor Jun has arrived, and cultivators from all sides have rushed to attend. As the matchmaker, Nüwa was the first to arrive, followed by the ten great demon commanders, including the demon master Kunpeng. Speaking of which, Kunpeng is also low-key, always hiding in the Northern Ocean, rarely showing his face. If it weren't for the fact that his created demonic scriptures are constantly being used, I'm afraid the newly born demons would have forgotten him. In fact, Kunpeng's behavior is mostly due to Emperor Jiang. The fate of the demon and witch tribes is entangled, and a great war will eventually break out. This is what troubles Kunpeng the most. As the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind." Since he can't change it, Kunpeng has decided to stay out of it. Although this means losing some of the demon tribe's luck, he doesn't care at all. If his own demon tribe's luck is reduced a bit, Emperor Jun and Taiyi will probably be more at ease.

  The demon tribe is currently the overlord of the vast wilderness, with great momentum, and many saints are also very polite, coming one after another, bringing not a few spiritual treasures as gifts. In those days, Hongjun distributed treasures, and the cultivators of the vast wilderness became rich, especially the saints. Although there were not many top-grade primordial spiritual treasures, there were still quite a few mid-to-low grade primordial spiritual treasures.

  Di Jun was wearing a large red robe at this time, and he gave gifts to each of the great gods one by one. The cultivators who came and went had special people to receive them, as long as they reported their names, they could be led to their seats. For a while, the grand hall was packed with guests, chatting with each other, very harmonious.

  The scale of this heavenly court banquet was getting more and more lively, the spiritual fruits on the table seemed to be all born from the pre-heavenly spiritual roots. Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door, followed by the report of a small demon, it was people from the Wu tribe who had arrived.

  "Emperor Jun, that old bird, how would he think of getting married? Zhurong, do you think he's moved by lust and has taken a fancy to Xihe's beauty?" At this time, Gonggong's exaggerated voice came over again.

  "Don't spout nonsense, Emperor Jun is the emperor of the demon tribe after all, and he's made such a big deal about this wedding. It can't be just for beauty, it must be for Xihe's cultivation. I heard that Xihe is also a quasi-saint, but has always kept a low profile. By marrying her, the demon tribe's power will increase significantly." Zhu Rong said seriously, and he actually hit the nail on the head.

  The two ancestral witches were not small, the monks in the temple who were eating and drinking turned their heads one after another, for a time they all stopped discussing, and suddenly became quiet as if no one dared to speak, they were all watching Emperor Jun's reaction. This banquet was probably going to be ruined again, whenever the two tribes of witches and demons met, there would definitely be trouble, some timid monks wanted to slip away quietly, with their slender arms and legs, waiting for the two tribes to start a ruckus, lest they suffer an unexpected disaster.

  The demon god in the hall also tensed up, his divine sense locked onto the treasure, ready to be sacrificed at any moment.

  Di Jun didn't react much, still with a smiling face, walked out of the temple gate to greet the various ancestral witches. It has to be said that his demeanor had improved significantly.

  As soon as Di Jun took a step forward, Emperor Jiang and his entourage came in with smiles on their faces. Emperor Jiang was at the forefront, followed by Gonggong, Zhurong, Zhujiuyin, Jumang, and Roushou, five ancestral witches who were not on duty in the cycle of reincarnation. Behind them were Emperor Jiang's disciples, Ao Jiao, and about a dozen senior witches, including Hou Yi.

  Watching so many people, Emperor Jyun secretly let out a sigh of relief. His disciples and the great witch had all been brought along, it seemed they weren't here to cause trouble. Otherwise, given Emperor Jiang's personality, he absolutely wouldn't have allowed these people to come out and take risks.

  "I didn't expect the Emperor to have such a status, and yet he's looking for a Dao companion. I'm truly envious." Emperor Jiang walked forward and said politely. His eyes, however, scanned the grand hall, trying to see where the bride was, as someone who could win Emperor Jun's favor must be extraordinary. Unfortunately, he didn't notice that she was still waiting in the back hall and wouldn't come out until the appointed time.

  "The Emperor of Wu has arrived, please take a seat quickly, I have specially reserved seats for the Wu tribe."

  "The Demon Emperor has made up his mind." Emperor Jiang said, leading the crowd to take their seats one by one. He looked around again and found that all the powerful beings had arrived except for Zhongyuanzi, who had a feud with Taiyi. The saints didn't need to be mentioned, each standing upright with an air of majesty. Minghe sat quietly in the corner, and when Emperor Jiang's gaze fell on him, he calmly shrank back into the corner without making a sound. Emperor Jiang continued to survey the room, but found that someone seemed to be missing. After some thought, he realized that Taiyi was not there, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Today was Emperor Jun's big wedding day, so where had he gone? Was he also in the back hall?

  Taiyi finally came out, still wearing a purple robe, but with some festive decorations added. Beside him was a beautiful young girl, also in the attire of an almost-saint cultivator, though her clothes were not quite as bright red as Taiyi's. She must be Changxi, Heng'e's sister. Seeing Changxi, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but think of the legend from his past life, which seemed to have some connection with Chang'e, who had fled to the moon. Thinking of this, Emperor Jiang glanced sideways at Hou Yi, not far away.

  Only to see Hou Yi's eyes staring tightly at Chang Xi, looking very unbelievable, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly ajar. Emperor Jiang was somewhat surprised, could it be that Hou Yi had been in contact with Chang Xi? Suddenly, his curiosity increased, he started calculating with his hands, and understood the cause and effect.

  Hou Yi was unsure of what to feel at this moment, seeing Chang Xi suddenly appear, he first felt very excited, then puzzled, and finally a bit deceived, his eyes slowly turned cold.

  Hou Yi's sharp eyes naturally caught Chang Xi's attention, and Chang Xi was also slightly surprised to encounter each other here. For some reason, she felt a little thrilled in her heart. However, as she looked into Hou Yi's eyes, she discovered that her gaze was different from before - it changed from surprise to coldness. Only then did she realize that her current identity was not suitable, and Chang Xi's heart became anxious, unknowingly walking towards Hou Yi on her own accord, wanting to explain herself.

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes were fixed on Chang Xi, seeing her expression change slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. As he looked over, he found that she was actually staring at a witch tribe's great shaman, and her eyes seemed to hold some other emotions. He didn't know why, but suddenly a thread of anger surged up in his heart, thinking that as the Eastern Emperor of the demon clan, he had tried every means to please her, yet couldn't even get her to look at him properly. Now, for a small great shaman, she revealed such an expression, and his heart felt very unbalanced. What's more, Chang Xi began to walk forward, heading straight for that great shaman. The flames in Taiyi's heart rose again by a lot.

  "Hou Yi, do you still remember me?" Chang Xi walked up to Hou Yi's side and thought for a long time without knowing what to say, but finally came out with this sentence.

  Chang Xi walked over, attracting the attention of many people, especially those from the Wu tribe. They all became excited and wondered how they hadn't discovered earlier that Hou Yi had such charm, causing a female cultivator to personally come over and pay her respects.

  "Goddess, please be careful. I only know the mortal Chang'e, not a goddess." Seeing Chang'e come over, Hou Yi was also somewhat surprised, but his eyes were still cold as ice.

  Chang Xi listened, feeling very displeased in his heart. It seemed that Hou Yi was indeed very resentful of being deceived by him. However, thinking that he had come over personally to talk things through, yet Hou Yi didn't show any appreciation at all, Chang Xi's heart also felt a bit indignant. He couldn't help but let out a cold snort, turned his head and left, scolding himself in his heart for bothering to try to reason with this great sorcerer.

  Hou Yi saw Chang Xi leave, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. He never thought that the woman he had been thinking about day and night, searching everywhere for, was actually a demon. His heart was filled with endless sorrow. Perhaps he didn't truly love her back then, but after a hundred years of nostalgia, Hou Yi knew that he couldn't forget her anymore.

  At this time, Hou Yi did not notice that Dong Huang Taiyi was staring at him with a fierce gaze, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

  "The time has come." A demon god suddenly shouted.

  As the voice of the demon god fell, Xihe slowly walked out. At this time, Nüwa stood at the front of the main hall as the host, took out a red embroidered ball, and the wedding ceremony began.

  "I am the Emperor of Demons, Di Jun. I sense that the moral order of the universe is in chaos. Now, I shall establish the heavenly marriage, fix the moral order, stabilize the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and set an example for all under heaven." Emperor Di Jun suddenly spoke out.

  As the sound fell, the air actually rolled and moved, but it was a cloud of merit gathering. The horse landed, 40% returned to Emperor Jun's body, Emperor Jun's cultivation greatly increased, finally reaching the peak of quasi-sainthood; 40% fell on Xihe's body, his cultivation also rose from the early stage of quasi-sainthood to the middle stage of quasi-sainthood; The last 20% fell on the Red Tassel Ball, which emitted a faint golden light.

  All the monks were amazed when they saw this. Who would have thought that such a thing could also be meritorious? No wonder Emperor Jun wanted to hold such a grand wedding ceremony!

  Di Jiang's eyes had a hint of regret, he didn't have an old acquaintance, otherwise he could use his identity as Wu Di to snatch this merit and make them stare blankly.

  The wedding ceremony was completed, and a group of heavenly palace maidens came out to sing and dance. The monks were overjoyed and started eating and drinking again.

  At this time, Taiyi walked over and said loudly: "The way of song and dance is the flow of ordinary people. I'm afraid it's hard for you to be excited. Why don't we show off our own magical skills? This is lively." After Taiyi finished speaking, his eyes provocatively looked at the side of the Wu tribe.

  Di Jun was surprised when he heard this on the side, and didn't know how Taiyi suddenly had such an idea, but he didn't stop him, which was a sign of respect for him.

  The Emperor frowned, seeing the provocative gaze of Taiyi, with some anger in his heart. He had been honest and not provoked, but Taiyi was itching for a fight, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort, suddenly standing up.

  "How can you show your divine power? Is it by competing with me?" Emperor Jiang asked with an unpleasant expression.

  As Emperor Jiang's voice fell, all the Wu people stood up with a rustling sound.

  The hearts of all the monks were suddenly lifted up, just now they were fine, how did it suddenly become like this?

  "Not bad, how can we know the difference in skill if it's not through a match?" Ta Yi said seriously.

  "Does the Eastern Emperor want to have a duel with me?" Di Jiang was puzzled, wondering if he had gone crazy today or what, could it be that he had a masochistic tendency.

  At this point, Di Jun's face also changed slightly. What was wrong with Taiyi today? He couldn't help but feel a little worried, but it wasn't good to stop him either. Taiyi had already spoken out, and asking him to take it back would be like slapping his face.

  "We are of noble status, and some divine powers are already well-known to all. There's no need for comparison. I have a proposal: my demon clan has ten great demon commanders, and your witch clan also has more than ten great witches. Why not let them compete with each other and add some atmosphere?" Taiyi said slowly, glancing at Hou Yi with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
