Cultivation Begins with Daily Intelligence Reports

335: Grand weddingInnate fire burned brightly, ruthlessly purifying everything.

The wails and pleas of the God of Bingyi grew weaker, eventually dissipating entirely. Its Divine Soul consciousness was burned into the purest Origin energy, which, along with the previously refined portion of the Secret Realm Origin, was swiftly absorbed by Lin Jingyu as he circulated his Cultivation Technique.

Meanwhile, the perfect Foundation Establishment in the outside world was also thoroughly completed under this internal and external tempering.

”Boom!”

A majestic Aura far surpassing the Qi Refining Stage erupted from Lin Jingyu’s body, instantly shattering the already fragile ice coffin.

His Dao Foundation was perfectly round and flawless, possessing the color of Chaos, radiating a charm of Perfection and unity with the Dao.

His cultivation directly surpassed the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, stabilizing at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, and his Foundation was incredibly solid.

However, it was not over yet! With the consciousness of the God of Bingyi annihilated, the entire Profound Ice Secret Realm lost its core Dominator. The Secret Realm Origin that had been condensed and suppressed by it now lost its restraint and began to run wild and collapse.

”Swallow!”

A brilliant light flashed in Lin Jingyu’s eyes. After achieving perfect Foundation Establishment, he was qualified to initially swallow external energy.

He activated that profound swallowing technique, transforming himself into a bottomless pit, crazily absorbing the dissipating, incomparably pure Secret Realm Origin energy.

His cultivation began to skyrocket at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Peak... Foundation Establishment Late Stage... Foundation Establishment Perfection...

The Realms beyond that seemed unable to describe the strength he now controlled.

He had refined all the Origin of this world.

With every gesture, he could manipulate a portion of the power of Heaven and Earth, and his Divine Sense expanded explosively, sufficient to cover a radius of a hundred miles!

The Spiritual Qi within his body surged like a great river, flowing endlessly, with both its quality and total volume undergoing a qualitative leap!

Even the Golden Core and Nascent Soul big shots he had faced before, Lin Jingyu felt he could easily suppress.

With a wave of his hand, the crystal coffin sealing Fei Yangyang shattered upon impact.

He checked and found that Fei Yangyang’s Divine Soul was severely damaged and he had fallen into a deep sleep, but his life was not in danger. It was just that the mark left by the God of Bingyi was deeply rooted and would need to be slowly resolved in the future.

Looking at the collapsing and melting ice in the Secret Realm before him, and the unconscious friend in his hands, Lin Jingyu took a deep breath.

The journey to the Profound Ice Secret Realm had finally ended. Crisis and Opportunity had coexisted.

He had ultimately relied on his own will and that one crucial spark of visualization fire to reverse the desperate situation and take a firm and solid step forward.

The collapse of the Profound Ice Secret Realm was as irreversible as an avalanche.

Ten-thousand-foot Ice Cliffs fractured inch by inch, roaring as they plummeted into the abyss.

Ancient palaces turned into dust amidst their mournful cries, and that dark abyss which had once spewed absolute zero cold air was ultimately completely buried by the hundreds of millions of tons of ice and snow and rock.

The former mystery and deathly silence were all buried beneath the eternal permafrost.

As for the giant beast guardian deity and the temple lineage of this world, let them perish with the destruction of the Secret Realm!

As for the tribal Human Race, they had long since been slaughtered.

The few remaining humans were transferred out by Lin Jingyu using the power of Heaven and Earth, saved and brought into the outside world.

It was late at night in the outside world, and the stars filled the sky.

Feeling the long-lost, cold yet vibrant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Lin Jingyu exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The turbid air turned into ice crystals the moment it left his body, clinking as they hit the ground.

The life-and-death struggle in the Secret Realm felt like a dream, but the surging, sea-like Earth Immortal level Spiritual Qi within his body, and the more refined and vast Divine Soul power in his Sea of Consciousness, reminded him every moment that all of this was real.

He did not linger for a moment; his figure flickered, blending into the night, and he returned to the Fei Family silently.

Under the coverage of his terrifying Divine Sense, even the Old Ancestor of the Fei Family had nowhere to hide.

After checking on the Fei Family, Lin Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there was no trace of the temple lineage from the Profound Ice Secret Realm.

Perhaps it was due to some rule that prevented them from leaving the Profound Ice Secret Realm.

Lin Jingyu handed Fei Yangyang over to the members of the Fei Family.

After giving a few instructions, he himself disappeared. The next moment, he returned to the Lin Family at the foot of the Taihang Mountains in Chiyan Prefecture.

Lin Lingshan and the others were discussing matters in the ancestral hall.

Seeing Lin Jingyu, they all revealed expressions of surprise and joy.

Lin Jingyu casually waved his hand, releasing strands of Heaven and Earth power to cleanse the marrow and renew the bones of the Lin Family members.

Then he said:

”Uncle Lingshan, prepare yourself. I am going to propose marriage.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was shocked.

All the Lin Family members busied themselves.

The festive atmosphere spread throughout the entire Lin Family.

It was truly livelier than the New Year.

Lin Jingyu took out the Thousand-Leaf Glazed jade pendant that Yun Momo had given him that day and injected a trace of Spiritual Qi.

The jade pendant glowed with a warm luster, and an imperceptible fluctuation traveled into the distance.

Even though he could now easily send his thoughts across hundreds of miles to Yun Momo’s side, he still used this method.

A moment later, the jade pendant responded. A clear coordinate message flooded into Lin Jingyu’s mind, along with a Divine Thought transmission from Yun Momo, filled with surprise and a hint of shyness:

”Brother Jingyu! You... it’s so good that you’re alright! I... I’ll wait for you at home!”

Lin Jingyu’s mouth curved into a gentle smile. His figure shot into the sky, transforming into a purple streak of light that tore through the dawn, speeding towards the location of the Yun Family.

The Yun Family was not located in a bustling market town, but hidden deep within a range of spiritual mountains in the southern part of Chiyan Prefecture.

Here, clouds swirled, cranes danced, and pavilions were built along the mountains and rivers, resembling a fairyland outside the world. The Family’s heritage was far beyond that of the families in the Southeast Market Town.

When Lin Jingyu, following the guidance of the jade pendant, descended before the magnificent white jade mountain gate of the Yun Family, which was engraved with profound Formations, several figures with deep Auras were already waiting there.

At the head was a Middle-aged Cultivator wearing moon-white Daoist robes, with a refined face and eyes as gentle as jade. His Aura was as deep as the sea; he was actually a Golden Core Late Stage Immortal Master!

It was Yun Momo’s father, the current head of the Yun Family, Yun Yixuan. Standing beside him was the smiling and alluring Qin Yue, along with several Elders of the Yun Family.

”Junior Lin Jingyu, pays respects to Uncle Yun, Sister Qin Yue, and all the Seniors.” Lin Jingyu was neither humble nor arrogant, performing the Junior’s salute with a respectful tone.

Yun Yixuan’s gaze was like lightning as he carefully examined Lin Jingyu, a flash of undisguised astonishment crossing his eyes. He had long heard from his daughter and Qin Yue that this young man was extraordinary, but seeing him in person, he realized the rumors were true.

So young, yet his Aura was already this thick, faintly causing even him, a Golden Core Immortal Master, to feel a vague sense of pressure! What was even rarer was that composed demeanor, far surpassing his peers.

”Young Friend Lin, no need for formalities.” Yun Yixuan swept his whisk gently, a warm smile appearing on his face. ”My daughter is mischievous and has been well taken care of by you in the Southeast Market Town. Today you have graced my humble home, and I have failed to welcome you properly; I hope you will forgive me. Please, come inside for tea.”

”Uncle, you are too polite. Momo is innocent and lively, and it is my good fortune to have met her.” Lin Jingyu responded appropriately.

The group walked into the Yun Family’s living room and took their seats as host and guest. After tea was served and some pleasantries were exchanged, Lin Jingyu set down his teacup, straightened his expression, stood up, and bowed solemnly to Yun Yixuan, getting straight to the point:

”Uncle Yun, I have come to visit you today uninvited for a major matter.”

His gaze was clear and firm:

”Momo and I are in love and have made a promise to each other. Today, I have specifically come to propose marriage and earnestly request that you allow me to marry Momo. I, Jingyu, swear here that I will do my utmost in this life to protect her and never fail her deep affection!”

As he spoke, he took out a Storage Ring he had prepared long ago and presented it with both hands:

”This is a small token of my sincerity, to be taken as a betrothal gift. I hope you will grant your approval, Uncle!”

Yun Yixuan did not immediately take the ring but looked deeply at Lin Jingyu. The hall was silent for a moment.

Qin Yue stood to the side, her eyes filled with encouraging smiles.

The several Elders also had varied expressions—some scrutinizing, some curious, but mostly shocked by the strength and potential Lin Jingyu had displayed.

After a long while, Yun Yixuan spoke slowly, his voice steady:

”Young Friend Lin, I already know your heart. As a father, I also understand the thoughts of that girl, Momo.

You are young and promising, with boundless potential, and you will certainly not be a creature trapped in a pond in the future. Entrusting Momo to you, I... am at ease.”

He finally nodded, a look of relief and gratification appearing on his face:

”I agree to this marriage!”

”Thank you, Father-in-law, for your approval!” Lin Jingyu felt the heavy stone in his heart fall, and he bowed again, having changed his form of address.

Yun Yixuan laughed heartily, personally helping him up and taking the Storage Ring.

With a slight sweep of his Divine Sense, even with his composure, he could not help but flash a look of shock in his eyes. The resources inside the ring were priceless, and many were even highly beneficial to Golden Core Cultivators, showing the sincerity and heritage of Lin Jingyu.

Once the marriage was settled, the Yun Family immediately became busy.

The marriage of the Yun Family’s daughter to the peerless Genius Lin Jingyu, who had recently become famous throughout Chiyan Prefecture, was undoubtedly a major event that shocked the entire cultivation world of Chiyan Prefecture.

When the news spread, forces from all sides were shaken, and congratulatory gifts flew in like snowflakes.

The Qinglan Sect, led personally by Elder Gu Yue, presented a generous gift.

Shopkeeper Shui Sheng of the Tianfa Pavilion, the Alchemist Association, and even the Hundred Flowers Valley sent heavyweight figures.

Zhan Tai Mingyue and Feng Xixi, who were on good terms with Lin Jingyu in the past, arrived early to help.

All the Clan Chiefs of the families around Black Mountain arrived, feeling honored to be there.

The wedding was set for an auspicious day three months later, to be held at the top of the fairyland-like ”Flowing Cloud Peak” of the Yun Family.

On that day, Flowing Cloud Peak was decorated with lanterns and festoons, surrounded by auspicious clouds, with celestial music playing. Cultivators of status from a thousand miles around gathered here; guests were as numerous as clouds, and the occasion was unprecedentedly grand.

When the auspicious time arrived, nine ceremonial cannons fired, their sound shaking the heavens.

Lin Jingyu wore bright red wedding attire, which made him look even more like a jade-faced noble, his posture straight and tall. The callowness of his youth had faded from his brows, replaced by a sense of composure and majesty. Although he deliberately restrained his Earth Immortal Aura, his outstanding bearing was still enough to captivate everyone.

Under the gaze of the masses, Yun Momo, wearing a phoenix coronet and a cape with a bright red veil covering her face, walked step by step towards the ceremonial stage, led by her father, Yun Yixuan, stepping on a red carpet covered with spiritual flower petals.

Although her face could not be seen, her light footsteps and slightly trembling fingertips revealed the excitement and happiness in her heart.

”Bow to Heaven and Earth!”

”Bow to the parents!”

”Bow to each other!”

Amidst the high-pitched chanting of the ceremonial official, and under the gaze of countless blessings, envy, and awe, Lin Jingyu and Yun Momo completed the solemn ceremony.

When the ceremony was completed, an auspicious omen appeared between Heaven and Earth!

Seven-colored rosy clouds descended from the horizon; groups of cranes circled and chirped; golden lotuses surged from the Void Realm, swaying and fragrant, as if Heaven and Earth were blessing this newlywed couple!

”Heaven-sent auspicious signs! A perfect match!” The guests exclaimed one after another, viewing this as a good omen.

On the bridal night, red candles burned high.

Lin Jingyu gently lifted the bright red veil, revealing Yun Momo’s stunning face after being carefully adorned.

Her apricot eyes were filled with spring, her powdery face was peach-blossom-hued, and those usually lively and cunning eyes were now filled with water, carrying the unique shyness and sweetness of a new bride, gazing at him infatuatedly.

”Momo.” Lin Jingyu called out softly, holding her slightly cool little hands, his eyes filled with inseparable tenderness, ”From now on, we are Dao Companions.”

Yun Momo nodded, gently resting her cheek against his broad chest, listening to that powerful heartbeat, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace and happiness.

She whispered, ”Brother Jingyu, I have finally... finally waited for this day.”

The red silk curtains were warm, and the spring night was worth a thousand gold. Outside the window, the moonlight was like water; inside the window, the tenderness was lingering.

After transmigrating from modern society to this ancient cultivation world, all the storms encountered, all the waiting, turned into Perfection at this moment.

The noise of the grand wedding gradually dissipated, and a new chapter was quietly unfolding.

And for Lin Jingyu, having someone he wanted to protect, the Dao beneath his feet seemed to be clearer and firmer.
