Stellar Transformation-Chapter 608: Episode 17 - 5 The Wedding Night
Lightning as thick as arms, like chains connecting heaven and earth, filled the entire space, with only drifting Electric Snakes present, and on the city walls of the central floating city, two people stood side by side.
"Second Uncle, have you investigated the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World?" Zhou Xian said with slight anxiety to the tall and thin man beside him.
This tall and thin man was none other than the Thunder Martial God King Zhou Tong, one of the Four Great God Kings of Thunder Punishment City and a formidable figure even among the God Kings.
Qin Yu’s abrupt disappearance left the Gods Kings of the Divine World unable to find him, naturally leading to suspicions that Qin Yu might be hiding in some of the lower cosmic spaces. Zhou Xian, knowing that Qin Yu came from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, paid even closer attention to that realm.
"Xian’er, I have searched through the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World. There is neither Qin Yu’s nor Jiang Li’s aura to be found," Zhou Tong said with a frosty expression. "However, Xian’er, you needn’t worry. That Qin Yu, having disregarded our Thunder Punishment City and openly robbed the bride of Thunder Punishment City, we will not let him off no matter what."
"Right, we mustn’t let him off no matter what," echoed Zhou Xian.
Thunder Punishment City, belonging to the most detached of the Eight Great Holy Lands in the Divine World, has never been disrespected by any force since ancient times. Yet this time, Qin Yu not only openly disrespected the Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo in the Holy Emperor Hall, but he also abducted Thunder Punishment City’s bride, a ’slap’ to Thunder Punishment City’s face that was exceptionally loud.
The Four Great God Kings of Thunder Punishment City, none would tolerate such an insult.
"Xian’er, I am going to inspect other universes to see if Qin Yu is hiding in one of them," said the Thunder Martial God King Zhou Tong before vanishing immediately from atop the city wall.
Zhou Xian immediately bowed.
After Zhou Tong left, Zhou Xian stood alone on the city wall, silently watching the endless thunder and lightning surrounding Thunder Punishment City.
"Ahh!" Suddenly Zhou Xian clenched his fists tightly, with lightning violently flashing in his eyes, his growling voice gradually dissipating amidst the thunder.
He, Zhou Xian, a mere step below the God Kings as an Upper Heavenly God and also a Prince of Thunder Punishment City. His noble status... ranked among the higher echelons in the Divine World.
Yet his reputation was now not very good; after all, according to what the Eight Great Saint Emperors had announced to the public, Jiang Li was supposed to be Zhou Xian’s wife, but Qin Yu had taken her away.
"Qin Yu!" Zhou Xian murmured in his heart.
Over ten thousand years ago, Qin Yu was nothing but a minor figure in the Mortal World, and Zhou Xian could have easily crushed him. But in the blink of an eye, without paying attention... all the Holy Emperors of the Divine World working together still couldn’t capture Qin Yu.
Zhou Xian himself was a complete loser.
"That spear." Zhou Xian still remembered the spear thrust from Qin Yu, "If it weren’t for the protective treasure given to me by Grandfather, I might have already died. That Qin Yu, his strength is truly formidable."
In front of Qin Yu, he, Zhou Xian, had no power to fight back.
"In less than twenty thousand years, the gap in strength between him and me has completely reversed," Zhou Xian felt a wave of shame, "I must catch him, I must." The muscles at the corner of Zhou Xian’s eyes twitched slightly.
Suddenly, Zhou Xian’s eyes brightened.
"Right, Qin Yu’s relatives. No, it won’t do, my father and the rest would never agree to involve Qin Yu’s relatives," Zhou Xian shook his head.
He understood well that none of the Four Great God Kings of Thunder Punishment City were anything but proud, otherwise they would not be chasing Qin Yu all over the world yet abruptly refraining from touching his relatives.
"Ah."
Zhou Xian’s eyes lit up suddenly, then he transformed into a streak of light, swiftly flying towards the Thunder Punishment City’s army camp. In a moment, Zhou Xian reached an Upper Heavenly God.
"Your Highness," the Upper Heavenly God quickly saluted upon seeing Zhou Xian.
"Liu Shan, pick an elite squad of Heavenly Gods and come with me to the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, and then instantly take a trip to the Mortal World," Zhou Xian said with a faint smile.
Although Liu Shan was puzzled, Zhou Xian still had the authority to dispatch an elite squadron.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhou Xian nodded slightly, then his gaze pierced the void and a cold smile rose on his lips, "Qin Yu, I refuse to believe that you’ve never been in contact with your relatives."
...
Not long after, Zhou Xian led an elite squadron of Heavenly Gods, passing through the spatial gate controlled by Thunder Punishment City, heading towards the Immortal Demon Demon World.
*****
While several Holy Emperors in the Divine World were earnestly searching for him, Qin Yu and Jiang Li held a grand wedding in the "Zixuan Mansion" on the Zixuan Star of the New Universe.
The wedding process fully followed the traditional Qin Dynasty ceremony of "worshipping heaven and earth, entering the bridal chamber."
The vast Zixuan Mansion hovered in the mid-air over the ocean, surrounded by swirling clouds. At both ends of Zixuan Mansion, flames and chilly air twisted together, while inside, quite a few people were present.
In the "Universe Hall" of Zixuan Mansion, a crowd gathered with Qin Yu and Jiang Li, clad in red wedding robes, in the center.
"Bow to heaven and earth!" Uncle Fu shouted loudly by their side.
Qin Yu and Jiang Li both bowed towards the heaven and earth outside the hall while Hou Fei, Hei Yu, as well as Hei Yu’s wife and daughter, and others looked on with grins, exchanging words and laughs.
"Bow to the high hall," Uncle Fu’s voice rang out again.
Qin Yu and Jiang Li turned around and bowed to Jiang Lan and Qin De, who were seated above them. Smiles bloomed on the faces of Jiang Lan and Qin De.
"Haha, good, good," said Jiang Lan with a big laugh.
Qin De laughed heartily and said, "Of my three sons, it’s the youngest who marries the latest, haha..." Wasn’t it true? Qin Feng and Qin Zheng already had great-grandsons.
"The couple bows to each other!"
Qin Yu and Jiang Li turned to face each other and bowed, and perhaps out of nervousness or something else, they accidentally bumped their heads against each other, causing the Universe Hall to erupt in laughter.
"Enter the bridal chamber together."
...
Although it was time to enter the bridal chamber, Qin Yu hadn’t managed to speak much to Jiang Li before he was pulled out to drink with everyone.
"Congratulations, Uncle," said Hei Tong, Hei Yu’s daughter, raising her glass with a smile to Qin Yu.
"Oh, Little Tong," Qin Yu naturally remembered the child Hei Tong, but at that moment, a beautiful young girl next to Hei Tong also raised her glass to Qin Yu, saying, "Congratulations, Great Grandfather."
Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment.
"Uncle, this is the daughter of Guo Fan and me," said Hei Tong quickly.
"Congratulations, Great Grandfather," another youth saluted Qin Yu, and Hei Tong hurriedly explained, "Uncle, this is the son of Guo Fan and me."
Qin Yu was astonished.
Having just gotten married himself, Qin Yu found it stunning that Hei Tong, whom he had watched grow up, already had two children.
Seeing Qin Yu’s expression, everyone at the table burst into laughter. Hou Fei laughed even more exaggeratedly, clutching his belly and roaring, "Haha, big brother, you know you’re a bit slow, right? But don’t worry, just work hard with your wife in the future, and have a bunch of kids."
"You’re one to talk," Qin Yu retorted upon realizing that it was Hou Fei who had made the remark.
"Third brother, what are you standing there for? Come over here. There’s a whole group of people waiting for you," Qin Feng said with a smile as he pulled Qin Yu toward another table.
"This is my great-granddaughters’ son, this is my daughter’s husband, this is..."
Everyone at this table was a younger relative of Qin Feng’s. Qin Yu felt somewhat embarrassed while toasting with them, as it seemed that all his brothers and Hou Fei, without exception, already had a crowd of descendants.
******
By midnight, Qin Yu had managed to slip away from the crowd and entered the bridal chamber.
Under the flickering light of a red candle, which cast a hazy veil over the room and induced a slight intoxication in the heart, Qin Yu gazed at Li’er, who sat quietly on the bed waiting for him, and felt a tremendous sense of fulfillment.
"I can’t believe I’m married," Qin Yu thought, feeling it all so surreal.
He had been looking forward to this day for so many years, but now that it had become reality, it still seemed like he was in a dream.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu approached Li’er and gently lifted her veil to reveal her slightly flushed, delicate face.
"Brother Yu," Li’er whispered softly.
However, Qin Yu just gazed at Li’er, seemingly entranced by her translucent jade-like skin, from which a faint fragrance was discernible even from close by.
It was as if they were drawn to each other.
Their lips met in a kiss, and gradually, Qin Yu undid Li’er’s robes. With a slight tremble, he slowly removed her clothes, revealing skin as supple as mutton fat jade...
Night.
The bedchamber churned with passion, and only the faintest moans echoed within the room.
At their peak, Qin Yu’s Soul Nascent Soul combined with Li’er’s Nascent Soul, leaving nothing hidden in the depth of their hearts.
The union of spirit and desire!
Suddenly, a teardrop flew from Qin Yu’s Soul Nascent Soul, intending to merge with Li’er’s Nascent Soul.
"Brother Yu, what are you doing?" Li’er’s thoughts were open to Qin Yu.
"Two Life Soul Tears, which contain the Origin Energy of the Life God King. Once you absorb them both, you will possess the full energy of the Life God King, which I believe will also help you in comprehending the Space Law left by him," Qin Yu explained.
As their souls intertwined, it became easy for them to sense each other’s thoughts.
Meteor Tear, also known as Life Soul Tear, contained the energy of the Life God King, and although that energy was exceptionally mysterious, Qin Yu did not mind it and was content to give it all to Li’er.
After all, Qin Yu possessed an entire cosmos.
...
The sunlight pierced through the closed curtains and into the room. Qin Yu was half-reclining on the bed, with Jiang Li’s head resting on his chest. They breathed in each other’s scent and whispered intimate words of husband and wife to one another.
"By the way, Li’er."
Qin Yu suddenly brought up a serious matter, "Li’er, the ’Purple Feather Robe’ I gave you must be related to Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate. Even if you take the Purple Feather Robe to the Divine World, no one will discover it. However, the ’Breaking Water’ I gave you is a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure that I personally refined. It has never appeared in the Divine World before, and if you take it there, it will surely cause a disturbance in the heavenly and earthly energies of the Divine World."
Qin Yu had realized that the Glue Breath was Hongmeng Spiritual Energy and had then spent a considerable amount of time and precious materials to refine seventy-three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, among which only one was a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.
That Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure was the Divine Sword ’Breaking Water’. Before their marriage, Qin Yu had already given Breaking Water, along with the Purple Feather Robe, to Li’er.
Qin Yu still vividly remembered Jiang Li’s shocked and adorable expression when she first saw these two first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures.
"Mhm, I know." Jiang Li replied softly, leaning on Qin Yu’s chest, her face full of happiness.
Although the two first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures were precious, in Jiang Li’s eyes, the feelings Qin Yu put into these treasures moved her even more.
"Li’er, how long do you think it will take to refine these two first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures?" Qin Yu asked.
Jiang Li furrowed her brows in thought.
Qin Yu, however, was distracted by the sight of Jiang Li’s furrowed brows, just smiling as he watched her.
"Both are first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, so refining them is quite troublesome. It would probably take at least hundreds of thousands of years, I guess," Jiang Li said, uncertain.
"Mhm, what are you looking at?" It was then that Jiang Li noticed Qin Yu had drifted off into his thoughts.
"Ah," Qin Yu replied, "I wasn’t looking at anything, I was listening, really. Mhm, you just said that refining a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure would take at least hundreds of thousands of years of effort, right?"
Jiang Li gave Qin Yu a skeptical look.
Qin Yu heaved a sigh of relief inwardly, "Luckily, I am the master of the New Universe, and I know everything that happens within it with just a thought."
"Li’er, there is something I need to tell you. There’s a quick way to refine Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, and that is to let the treasures themselves absorb some Hongmeng Spiritual Energy," Qin Yu continued.
"Hongmeng Spiritual Energy? Where does that come from? Surely we aren’t refining some Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures just for a matter of hundreds of thousands of years. That would be too wasteful. Brother Yu, you still have to compete with those Divine Kings in the future. Don’t waste Hongmeng Spiritual Energy carelessly," Jiang Li began to reason for Qin Yu.
It was then that Qin Yu remembered he had never told Li’er about the Glue Breath being Hongmeng Spiritual Energy.
"Li’er, have you ever seen Hongmeng Spiritual Energy?" Qin Yu asked.
"Of course, I have seen it. When Artisan God Che Hou Yuan was refining a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure in Snow City, we were watching by the side," replied Jiang Li.
"Then I will take you to a place, a place with lots and lots of Hongmeng Spiritual Energy," Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Oh?" Jiang Li looked at Qin Yu, puzzled.
"Stop gaping and get dressed," Qin Yu said with a laugh as he urged her.
