I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1709: Chapter 873 Before the Grand Ceremony (Extra Chapter for 21,000 Monthly Tickets)

When Qing Nu first arrived in the Tianhe Realm, she already felt it was the happiest moment of her life.

Because she could be with Chen Mobai, without worrying that she would affect his future in the Immortal Gate.

Although Chen Mobai had promised to give her a status, hearing these words still filled her eyes with surprise and disbelief.

At this moment, she felt that all the resilience and pain in the first half of her life were so insignificant.

In her heart, there was only sweetness and happiness!

“Life is unpredictable, and the path of cultivation is filled with unknowns and dangers. But no matter if the future brings wind or rain, in this world, I wish to have you by my side, to walk through life together.”

Chen Mobai’s voice was deep and firm, more certain of his heart than ever before.

He looked at Qing Nu in his arms, her excited and trembling reflection in his eyes, and said the words all the female cultivators in the Immortal Gate had longed to hear.

“Will you marry me?”

“I will!”

Without a hint of hesitation, Qing Nu spoke, her lips trembling slightly and tears welling in her eyes, her tone gentle yet as unwavering as iron.

Their gazes met in the air, and for that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Chen Mobai leaned down to kiss Qing Nu’s forehead, their silhouettes gradually merging together under the glow of the sunset.

“It’s just a pity that our families couldn’t be here.”

Qing Nu nestled in Chen Mobai’s embrace, speaking with a tinge of regret.

“If you wish, I can take you back to the Immortal Gate now, and you can share the good news with them.”

Chen Mobai held his Daoist couple in his arms, his voice gentle.

“Let’s save it for the future when we have the chance. Besides, if the Ascension Sect has any way of detecting me, you might be in danger.”

Qing Nu shook her head. After arriving in the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai told her about the Fetal Transformation Essence. Qing Nu feared that Yan Xinji or Lin Daoming might have methods to track her, so even though Chen Mobai mentioned occasionally taking her back to the Immortal Gate for visits, she always refused.

“Humph, I only wish they would dare to come.”

Chen Mobai was quite confident now, with a set of Fourth and Fifth Rank magic artifacts in hand, just looking for someone significant to test his limits.

“Let’s forget about it. Being with you is happiness enough for me.”

Qing Nu didn’t want anything that might ruin her happy life to happen. Since she was so insistent, Chen Mobai did not press further.

“Then when our cultivation levels are complete, we can go back to the Immortal Gate to make up for it.”

Hearing him say that, Qing Nu nodded with a smile, then took out a box from the storage bag.

When opened, it revealed a pair of white jade bells strung with red thread.

“Oh, isn’t this…”

Chen Mobai recognized at a glance that this was the first magic artifact he acquired in the Eastern Wilderness, which he gave to Qing Nu as a gift.

“I’ve kept this treasured all along.”

Qing Nu gently picked up the white jade bell, handing it to Chen Mobai with a hopeful expression.

“When I was in the Immortal Gate, I fantasized that if this could be the engagement gift you gave me, now my dream has finally come true. Can you help me wear it?”

Listening to Qing Nu’s words, Chen Mobai took the white jade bell, then lifted her snowy white wrist, carefully placing it on.

Jingle, jingle!

The clear and melodious sound of the bell was pleasing, like a fresh wind in a valley, or the trickling of a stream.

“No matter how thorny and difficult the future path might be, I will walk hand in hand with you, lifelong and generation after generation.”

Qing Nu raised her hand, with a face full of determination, holding onto Chen Mobai’s hand tightly.

“This heart is steadfast as a rock, never to waver.”

Chen Mobai also responded, placing Qing Nu’s hand against his heart.

In the clear bell’s sound, the surrounding mountains, the sky, and even the distant stars seemed to witness this moment for them.

The gentle breeze carried their happiness, drifting towards the distance.

…

Soon, the news of the Five Elements Sect’s grand ceremony spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

The Nascent Soul Formation ceremony was expected by everyone, but Immortal Venerate Chen announcing his Daoist couple at the same time stirred up excitement in the Eastern Wilderness cultivation world.

Everyone was discussing, who exactly was this female cultivator named Qing Nu?

Soon, some reports emerged.

It was said that Qing Nu was a Rank-4 Alchemist with a Golden Core Realm cultivation level, reportedly breathtakingly beautiful, exuding an elegant immortal aura.

As for her origins, no one could say for sure.

Some speculated she was a loose cultivator who was noticed by Immortal Venerate Chen for her remarkable alchemy skills and celestial beauty.

However, this was quickly refuted; how could a loose cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness reach the Core Formation stage? Moreover, achieving the status of a Rank-4 Alchemist could only be cultivated by large sects and great sects.

In the last thousand years in the Eastern Wilderness, Yan Shaoyin is the only Rank-4 Alchemist to have emerged.

Consequently, some speculate that Qing Nu is the direct descendant of a major sect in the East Land, and this sect is impressed with Immortal Venerate Chen’s exceptional talent, dispatching her here for a political marriage.

Some claim with certainty that Qing Nu is the Saintess of the Five Elements Sect Main Lineage’s First Origin Dao Palace, because they discovered Immortal Venerate Chen’s true identity, as the current Daozi of the First Origin Dao Palace, Chen Qingdi.

In the sacred sites of the Tianhe Realm, it is not uncommon for Daozi and Saintess to end up together.

This theory has gained considerable acceptance.

As the person involved, Qing Nu has already arrived in Northern Abyss City.

To prepare for the grand ceremony, E Yun instructed the Spirit Plant Department of the Five Elements Sect to plant flourishing flower trees along the streets, ensuring that the entire Northern Abyss City is filled with floral fragrance before the ceremony.

Naturally, upon hearing this, Liu Wenbo emerged from his closed cultivation to assist immediately.

He was the first among the disciples to know of this event, as he frequently delivered Azure Blood Carp to Mount Tianpeng. Chen Mobai entrusted him greatly and did not conceal his intimate relationship with Qing Nu from him.

However, Liu Wenbo kept this secret, not even informing his fellow disciples.

Now, with Chen Mobai openly announcing it, Liu Wenbo zealously offered his assistance.

To Chen Mobai’s surprise, Yue Zutao also showed up, bringing along Zhang Wancai, a cultivator from the Fengtian Sect, specialized in organizing various ceremonies from the East Lands.

The Fengtian Sect, with a thousand-year heritage, excels in hosting ceremonies, festivals, and rites.

With Zhang Wancai’s arrival, the preparation for the grand ceremony progressed even more smoothly.

Chen Mobai’s main duty was inviting the guests.

He need not worry about the Eastern Wilderness side, as seating could be arranged based on influence and status. Liu Wenbo, having expanded the Little Nan Mountain Shop throughout the Eastern Wilderness, had connections with almost every family and force, so Chen Mobai entrusted him with this task.

For Dongwu, Chen Mobai wrote an invitation to the Sun family and asked Nu Jiang to deliver it.

After all, for hundreds of years, the two major forces have watched over each other, defending against the demonic beasts of Yun Meng Ze, forming an alliance.

As for the East Barbarians, Chen Mobai instructed Luo Xue’er, who had consolidated her realm, to run an errand, delivering invitations to the sixteen Golden Core forces, as well as Golden Crow Immortal City and Kong Sang Valley.

For the Dongyue Astral Heavenly Path Sect, Chen Mobai handed the invitation to Qu XiuXian in Northern Abyss City to pass it on to Yu Shuji.

Lastly, it was the East Land.

Chen Mobai only knew Ye Qing and Yuan Zhen.

After sending invitations to all the intended guests, Chen Mobai returned to his cave dwelling, located at the summit of North Abyss Mountain. Qing Nu, accompanied by Gu Yan, was selecting dresses for the ceremony, with Zhuo Ming offering advice.

“Help me choose which one fits best.”

Upon seeing Chen Mobai enter, Qing Nu promptly lifted the six ceremonial gowns and various accessories hurriedly crafted by representatives of the Five Elements Sect under guidance from Fengtian Sect cultivators.

After she tried them all on, Chen Mobai selected the most suitable set.

As time passed.

The day of the grand ceremony drew ever nearer.

The Golden Core cultivators from the East Barbarians had all returned, but Zhou Shengqing expressed concern over being recognized as a Legal Body Nascent Soul during the gathering, hence declining to attend.

Of course, the official reason was maintaining guard over Bright Mirror Mountain.

After all, since Zhou Ye and others returned to the Eastern Wilderness, a high-order cultivator was needed in the East Barbarians.

Soon after, Nu Jiang arrived at Northern Abyss City with an imposing cultivator in dark yellow robes.

“Greetings, Sect Master Chen, I am Sun Huanglong!”

The visitor was the current patriarch of the Dongwu Sun family and indisputably the leading figure in Dongwu.

“It’s an honor to have Patriarch Sun here in person.”

Although Chen Mobai anticipated the Sun family valuing the goodwill he extended, he hadn’t imagined Sun Huanglong himself would come.

Hosted by Nu Jiang, Chen Mobai had an in-depth conversation with Sun Huanglong.

Despite being a Nascent Soul cultivator, Sun Huanglong was neither servile nor overbearing, carrying himself with poise, which left a favorable impression on Chen Mobai.

After Sun Huanglong, the sixteen Golden Core forces from the East Barbarians arrived collectively.

After meeting with Chen Mobai, he assigned Zhou Ye, who had returned, to entertain them.

They were all remarkably surprised by Northern Abyss City, the foremost Immortal City of the Eastern Wilderness, citing it exceeded Golden Crow Immortal City in all respects from planning to layout.

Even Sun Huanglong, upon arriving, was captivated by Northern Abyss City’s grandeur and modernity, daily requesting Nu Jiang to accompany him on tours, considering constructing a similar city in Dongwu upon returning.

“Sect Master Chen, my master is busy rehearsing arrays with the Burning Heaven Meridians, so he simply cannot make time. Here is the gift he entrusted me to deliver to you.”

Liu Nan Sheng from Sun Bathing Sea came in place of Baiwu Ancestor, respectfully handing over a box after explaining.

Since returning with Chu Zuoshu, Liu Nan Sheng became the designated liaison between Sun Bathing Sea and the Five Elements Sect.

“Much appreciated.”

Chen Mobai opened the jade box to find a bundle of strung together azure golden leaves, vibrant and bright, resembling a folding fan.

These are leaves from the Sun God Tree, usable as Fifth-Grade Talisman Paper or medicinal materials.

That Baiwu Ancestor wasn’t coming was anticipated, but the absence from Kong Sang Valley puzzled Chen Mobai.
