CHAPTER 516: CHAPTER 516: THE OFFICIAL MARRIAGE, THE BRIDAL CHAMBER ENTRY

"Tsk, tsk, such swordsmanship... How could it appear in this world?"

After witnessing the Binary Sword Decision Ye Yun himself demonstrated, Wu De’s eyes widened. He admired it greatly, a storm of shock surging in his heart.

Based on his experience, Wu De believed that such powerful swordsmanship should not belong to a cultivator who had only reached the Divine Sovereign Realm.

When the sword is held horizontally across the chest, it seems no attack can breach this single sword defense. The very thought is terrifying. Wu De knew this swordsmanship must entail more than just this defensive move. If the defense is unbreakable, then its offensive techniques would likely be even more terrifying.

At this thought, Wu De couldn’t help but shudder. He had originally come in search of the Purple Gold Pipe, thinking this world held no truly formidable figures. However, he hadn’t anticipated encountering the inscrutable Ye Yun.

「...」

"Am I seeing things? A Water Series Divine Ability as strong as the Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s was broken so easily?"

"How is this possible? Long Yunzi was just posturing, so how did he succeed?"

"Could it be that the Vast Sea Heavenly Lord is also an acquaintance of his, deliberately throwing the match?"

"..."

On the square, the Divine Sovereign Realm experts who had come to participate in the martial arts contest for marriage were all in an uproar. They found the outcome of the initial clash between the two hard to believe.

On the Seven-Color Lotuses, the Seven Great Celestials, witnessing this scene, were also shocked speechless. This time, even the aloof Jade Heavenly Venerable couldn’t help but open her eyes upon seeing the sword technique. A hint of surprise touched her icy face.

This swordsmanship is so strong! This thought simultaneously arose in the hearts of the Seven Great Celestials.

The Supreme God Sovereign on another enormous lotus was so excited he nearly leaped to his feet.

How can this Long Yunzi be so strong? Logically... the Dragon Clan shouldn’t possess such powerful swordsmanship, right? In the Divine Land, isn’t the Sword Pavilion supposed to have the most powerful swordsmanship? The Supreme God Sovereign murmured to himself, his face filled with shock.

But the most shocked was undoubtedly the Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, who stood opposite Ye Yun. He could never have imagined that such a potent divine skill of his—one that even a cultivator at the God Venerate Realm Fifth Layer couldn’t withstand—had been blocked by that posturing Long Yunzi, a mere Second Layer of God Respect Realm cultivator!

How could that sword technique be so bizarre, causing all of his attacks to vanish completely? Was it because of a powerful Spatial Magic Treasure there? The Vast Sea Heavenly Lord immersed his Divine Sense, scanning quickly, but found no trace of any magic treasure. This puzzled him greatly.

Ye Yun’s gaze shifted; he wasn’t going to give the Vast Sea Heavenly Lord any more chances.

"Now, it’s my turn."

The sword in Ye Yun’s hand suddenly underwent a subtle change. He vanished.

A streak of sword light tore through the air. This sword light was as brilliant as the first light at the dawn of creation. A simple streak of light, yet it possessed an unimaginably terrifying power, like that which split heaven and earth.

The Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Fast... It’s too fast!

The Vast Sea Heavenly Lord felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. Blood sprayed, and half his arm had actually been severed by that sword strike.

Ye Yun stood in mid-air, sheathing his sword.

The Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was in a sorry state, half his arm severed, looking like a man drenched in blood.

"You have lost," Ye Yun stated calmly.

"Yes, I’ve lost! Who would have thought Fellow Daoist Long Yunzi possessed such terrifying swordsmanship? I willingly concede defeat!" The Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s expression was extremely grim. He grabbed his severed arm and pressed it hard against the wound. Miraculously, the arm reattached itself. However, his face turned pale; it seemed this sword strike had inflicted considerable damage upon him.

After saying this, the Vast Sea Heavenly Lord turned and left without pausing. He didn’t even return to the square, directly vanishing over the horizon.

What kind of swordsmanship is this? Both its offense and defense are so powerful. If this young man reaches my realm, I’m afraid... I would be no match for him at all, the Supreme God Sovereign on the lotus platform thought, drawing a sharp breath, his shock beyond words. But the next moment, a flicker of excitement flashed deep in his eyes. This swordsmanship is indeed good.

Based on the Supreme God Sovereign’s knowledge, this profound swordsmanship was already comparable to the supreme swordsmanship of the Sword Pavilion.

Such fine swordsmanship... I can’t let such a prize go to an outsider. How could I let him escape? The Supreme God Sovereign smirked coldly. However, the expression on his face softened in an instant.

"After nearly ten days of competition, the winner of this martial arts matchmaking contest is the loose cultivator from overseas, Long Yunzi," the Supreme God Sovereign announced slowly, his majestic voice echoing in every corner of the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace.

At this, all the disciples of the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace began to clap excitedly. The applause was fervent, like a surging tide, long and unceasing.

Ye Yun paid no heed, his gaze fixed deeply on Yun Xiao upon her lotus. The Jade Heavenly Venerable no longer had her eyes closed. Her pair of cold, silver eyes were now looking directly at him, devoid of any warmth.

Ye Yun sighed softly in his heart. Yun Xiao’s appearance caused an indescribable bitterness to well up within him.

The Supreme God Sovereign in mid-air suddenly spoke again. "As the saying goes, ’A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold pieces.’ We cultivators are not like mortals, bound by so many tedious ceremonies. Effective immediately, Jade Heavenly Venerable and Long Yunzi are formally married! Send them to the bridal chamber!"

They’re entering the bridal chamber so soon? Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, then a joyful smile spread across his face. I never thought the Supreme God Sovereign would be so straightforward! Ye Yun quite liked this approach. If he really had to attend a grand wedding ceremony, reveling for three days and nights before entering the bridal chamber, Ye Yun would have been quite resistant.

"Who would have thought they’d be sent to the bridal chamber so soon? We should probably leave."

The Divine Sovereign Realm experts from the Demon Clan and the other faction present in the square, upon hearing the Supreme God Sovereign’s announcement, showed despair on their faces. They shook their heads, sighed, and flew away.

"Brother Demon God, what should we do?" the Blood-thirsty Demon King asked, looking around the now-empty surroundings with some panic.

"What else can we do? Boss is enjoying a precious moment of his wedding night. As his subordinates, we should naturally wait nearby," Wu De said, tapping the Blood-thirsty Demon King’s head with his Purple Gold Pipe. He then quickly pulled him away from the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace.

Seeing these two characters leave as well, Ye Yun merely smiled, knowing they hadn’t gone far.

"Jade, take Long Yunzi directly to the bridal chamber!" the Supreme God Sovereign suddenly ordered.

"Yes, Master," replied the cold Jade Heavenly Venerable. There wasn’t a hint of happiness on her stunningly beautiful face, but she still rose, stepped onto her Seven-Color Lotus, and came to Ye Yun’s side.

Ye Yun stepped onto the lotus. Seeing Yun Xiao’s perpetually icy demeanor and recalling how obediently she had listened to the Supreme God Sovereign’s words just now, Ye Yun’s brow furrowed slightly.

It seems that over these tens of thousands of years, the Supreme God Sovereign has invested considerable effort in Yun Xiao. In the entire Supreme Forgetful Love Palace, perhaps only the Supreme God Sovereign could command Yun Xiao. To make such an icy beauty enter the bridal chamber with a man for whom she felt nothing... what incredible willpower must that require?

The Seven-Color Lotus took flight, transforming into a streak of colored light and slipping into a pavilion nestled in a valley.

Once inside the room, Yun Xiao suddenly turned around, her icy eyes staring emotionlessly at Ye Yun as she said in a cold voice, "We are to enter the bridal chamber. You should know what to do, right?"

"Any man would know," Ye Yun said, a helpless and awkward expression on his face as he gently shook his head.

Just then, Ye Yun’s expression shifted slightly. He detected a faint, extremely well-concealed silhouette furtively appearing near the pavilion.

The Supreme God Sovereign has come? Ye Yun frowned. Could this old fellow be some kind of pervert who enjoys eavesdropping by walls?
