Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 167 - 146: A Good Hour in the Penglai Sea, Ten Thousand Immortals Coming to Biyou Palace

The answers provided by the Spirit Treasure Rejuvenation Mirror had indeed resolved a long-standing confusion in Tao Qian's heart.

He had long heard of the mighty power of the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique, which was said to protect countless commoners from the encroachment of transcendent deceitful objects, demons, and ghosts.

According to the Longevity History Books he had studied from his original self, this seemed to be true.

However, there were some discrepancies, as certain rumored incidents indicated that quite a few demons had escaped the annihilation of the Forbidden Law Barrier. Now, hearing that "even the Forbidden Technique has its flaws" rounded out the explanation somewhat.

"That the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique has protected this territory for over two thousand years, despite its flaws, is indeed extraordinary."

"For an Immortal Treasure like the Spirit Treasure Rejuvenation Mirror that has existed for such a long age, one might say that no worldly law lasts forever, but for generations of common people, this Forbidden Technique has indeed been a long-standing blessing for the Human Clan."

"Unfortunately, it's still broken."

While Tao Qian was contemplating this, suddenly, a few little things perched in the clouds all exclaimed in surprise.

From their tone, it was not an issue of danger but rather that they had seen some rare spectacle.

Zhong Doudou was the most eager, turning to Tao Qian with excitement and shouting, "Young Master, look quickly, the people of the Human Clan below seem to be having a wedding, and it's quite the event. There's a huge crowd, and they've rigged up several iron contraptions floating on the water, quite a few of them flying in the air, which is really interesting, though a bit noisy."

Tao Qian, upon hearing this, couldn't help but express surprise.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what scene Zhong Doudou was describing. He casually waved away some of the auspicious cloud mist and also looked downwards.

With his current eyesight, even at a great distance, it posed no hinderance.

He happened to see the territory below called "Demon City," where the estuary port, far busier than the Seeking Immortal Pier by ten or a hundred times, had towering cement buildings reminiscent of those from Tao Qian's previous life, but these structures, which combined characteristics of Longevity Heavenly Dynasty and the styles of Western Countries, were somewhat different from his previous life, pulling Tao Qian back to the present.

Looking further, Tao Qian saw many uniquely styled, either ornate or intricate neon signs, Western street lamps, and brass chandeliers; even more, there were large, eye-catching billboards hanging on the buildings adorned with gold and silver, each featuring glamorous magazine girls advertising cigarettes, soda, Western liquor, and other exotic items like typewriters.

These sights deeply astonished Tao Qian.

At the same time, this territory also instilled in him an intense sense of familiarity.

If it were not for his pursuit of cultivation and truth, he would certainly have immersed himself there to take a longer look.

It was at this moment, suddenly, the roaring of cannon fire echoed through the earth and skies.

Tao Qian then looked towards the dock area and indeed, it was swelling with people as far as the eye could see.

The large number of Demon City commoners, judging by their clothing and complexion, seemed slightly better off than those in Seeking Immortal County, though only marginally.

But the spirit of reveling in the spectacle was no different.

At this moment, they crowded the dock, all watching the steam airships circling in the sky and an extremely majestic and domineering fleet cutting through the waves toward the front. The iron battleship Tao Qian had once seen at Seeking Immortal Pier, if it were in this current fleet, would probably be positioned at the very back, possibly mixed among the smaller ships.

The most terrifying ship was arguably the one at the forefront.

Despite decorations for festivity, making it resemble a giant red ark, ignoring the surface decorations revealed the icy body below, the layers of mysterious talisman seals, and each red-ribbon-tied cannon muzzle... The recent cannon fire came precisely from these warships and the extremely strict military on board.

And the destination of their meeting was another fleet coming from the far seas.

With vast differences in design between the two sides but similar in scale, the threatening aura emitted was also comparable.

With the booms, everyone's gaze was drawn to two figures.

A man and a woman!

Each standing at the bow of the foremost ship of their respective fleets.

On Demon City's side was a highly handsome young man, tall and exquisitely featured, dressed as a groom, his inherently noble demeanor hard to conceal.

Opposite him on the foreign fleet, the woman dressed as a bride was not wearing the typical bridal attire of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty, but rather what was distinctly foreign regalia, a "bridal gown" in pure white, along with a crystal crown and light veil covering her face, her stature no less imposing than that of the groom.

The wild sea breeze not only revealed the bride's curvaceous and alluring figure, making countless onlookers gulp, but also inadvertently lifted the veil, momentarily exposing a face of exotic beauty, both breathtaking and startling.

Though most commoners lacked the vision to see clearly, there were still many martial artists and cultivators among the crowd who could.

In a moment, there was an uproar everywhere.

Logically, with such unsynchronized attire, the scene should have been awkward.

But the inherent nobility in both individuals, as well as an aura that ordinary people couldn't possess, made the scene both majestic and harmoniously beautiful.

Such an unusual spectacle also made Tao Qian and his companions take a few extra glances.

Tao Qian even cast a spell directly, listening intently to the many noises from the land below, thereby learning the origin of this peculiar wedding.

"Hey, hey, don't push, will you?"

"Who is this sissy? If you think it's too crowded, just roll back home. Why bother staying to look?"
