As soon as the words left Wang Baole's mouth, Li Wuchen's jaw dropped. His eyes went wide as he stared blankly at Wang Baole. When he looked at Zhou Mei, he realized that her body was still sealed, and she couldn't make any response.
Li Wuchen didn't know how to react for a moment. When Wang Baole saw Li Wuchen's reaction, his expression was the same as ever, and his voice was as calm as ever.
"I once had a Fellow Daoist," he said coolly. "He wasn't a good person, and liked to play with and then abandon. The next day, he died."
As soon as Wang Baole spoke, Li Wuchen took a deep breath. It wasn't that he was unwilling, as that could be seen from his intense reaction previously. It was just that everything had happened so suddenly that he hadn't gotten used to it. However, now that things had come to this, Li Wuchen didn't hesitate any longer. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply towards Wang Baole.
"Disciple is willing!"
Wang Baole was overjoyed when he heard Li Wuchen call himself his disciple. He raised his right hand and pointed at Zhou Mei, restoring her mobility. Then, he spoke gently.
"Mei 'er, are you willing?"
Zhou Mei's face was red, and she lowered her head. Although her voice was soft, it was clear.
"I'll do as you say, Dean," she said.
Wang Baole shook his head and smiled. Although the matter between the two of them was beneficial to him, seeing that he was helping his disciple to consummate his marriage made him even happier.
"Very well," Wang Baole said, waving his hand, indicating that the two of them could leave. "You can go back and wait for my news. As your Elder, I'll take care of the wedding ceremony for you."
Li Wuchen finally came to his senses. His first reaction was excitement. He looked at Zhou Mei, whose face was red as she looked back at him. When their gazes met, they could see the joy in each other's eyes.
"Many thanks, Grand Elder!" Li Wuchen took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Wang Baole. This time, he was filled with unprecedented sincerity and gratitude.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Mei, the two of them left together. Looking at their backs, Wang Baole felt very emotional.
"Li Wuchen may be a bit of a jerk, but he's not a bad person. I hope he and Zhou Mei can spend the rest of their lives together and never leave each other." Wang Baole smiled and signaled for the Big Tree to leave.
When there was no one else in the hall, Wang Baole sat down again. After carefully thinking about this matter, the first thing he considered was Feng Qiuran's attitude towards this matter.
"Feng Qiuran is in no position to interfere … unless she reveals Li Wuchen's identity." When he thought of this, Wang Baole realized that this matter was a foregone conclusion. He took out his voice transmission jade slip and began making arrangements. He even used the transmission array to seek Li Xingwen's opinion.
When the Federation received Wang Baole's voice transmission jade slip, they also attached great importance to this matter. After several discussions, Li Xingwen also contacted Zhou Mei's parents!
At the same time, the Federation also sent the next step of the plan to integrate with the Dao Palace to Wang Baole. In this plan, the Federation allowed the Dao Palace to send the first batch of thirty Dao Palace cultivators with cultivation levels below Yuanying to the Federation for an exchange. The leader was also decided to be Li Wuchen. At the same time, the Federation hoped that the Dao Palace would be able to plant a hyacinth tree seed in the Federation during this exchange to witness the deeper level of the alliance between the two sides.
When Wang Baole received the Federation's message jade slip, he found Lord Xu, the Big Tree, and Zhao Yameng to discuss this matter. Zhao Yameng didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Wang Baole's behavior, but she didn't say much.
After the four of them discussed the next step of the Federation's plan, Wang Baole came up with an idea as each of them put forward their own ideas.
"Is it possible to establish an Federation called the Dao Nation in the early stages? The Dao Nation has two holy lands. One is Earth, which can be called the Federation Holy Land. The other is the ancient greenish-bronze sword, which can be called the Vast Expanse Holy Land. As for the other planets, they are still called territories and are under the control of the Dao Nation."
This suggestion wasn't mature yet. After Wang Baole became the Grand Supreme Elder, he had thought of a direction based on reality. After the four of them discussed it, they finally decided to send this suggestion back to the Federation and let the Federation think tank evaluate its feasibility.
As the Federation and the Dao Palace couldn't communicate via voice transmission, they could only use the transmission array to send messages. Therefore, this communication and confirmation took seven days.
The Dao Nation's suggestion caught the attention of the Federation. In fact, the Federation also had similar ideas, but they didn't have enough conditions at the moment. Therefore, they were still at the evaluation stage. As for the wedding ceremony, Li Xingwen and Duan Muque finally agreed to it!
Therefore, the news of the wedding ceremony of the first pair of Dao companions between the Federation and the Dao Palace gradually spread over the next few days. Feng Qiuran was a little dumbfounded when she heard about this. After hesitating for a while, she chose to acquiesce.
Her acquiescence allowed the news to spread without any resistance, especially since Lord Xu also knew that the Federation and the Dao Palace were promoting the integration of the Federation and the Dao Palace. In addition, Zhou Mei was Wang Baole's student, so she also participated in the preparations.
Therefore, after another seven or eight days, a wedding ceremony was held in the Dao Palace. All the cultivators of the Federation and the Dao Palace, led by Feng Qiuran, were present. There were also many cultivators who participated in the wedding ceremony!
That day was a big day for Li Wuchen and Zhou Mei. It was also a day worth remembering for the Federation and the Dao Palace. At the same time, Feng Qiuran was deeply moved. She knew about Li Wuchen's identity and sent him to the Federation for his safety. Now that she saw him get married with her own eyes, even though she could see that Wang Baole was the one who wanted to push for the wedding, she understood. Therefore, she came here with Wang Baole to be the witnesses of the wedding!
"Dao Child Wuchen, I hope that in this life, you will be happier than in your previous life." Amidst the bustle, Feng Qiuran looked at Li Wuchen and Zhou Mei, who were holding Zhou Mei's hand and wearing bright red robes, unable to hide the happiness in their excited expressions. She watched as they walked up to Wang Baole and greeted her and Wang Baole. Feng Qiuran couldn't help but be a little dazed.
What appeared in her mind was the battle that changed Gu Jian's trajectory after it was chased by the Never-Ending Clan after escaping from the fallen Vast Expanse Star Domain.
Although the Dao Palace won that battle, the price they paid was too great. The sword body and the Dao Palace were reduced to ruins. The Laozu were severely injured and fell into a deep sleep. As a Dao Child, Li Wuchen fought frequently and pressed forward until he was severely injured and on the brink of death. He had no choice but to use a secret technique to reincarnate and heal his injuries. He borrowed the power of rebirth to restore his vitality from the core.
All these memories seemed to overlap with the bustle of the day. Feng Qiuran was dazed for a long time. Li Wuchen and Zhou Mei's greetings didn't receive any response.
This scene made Li Wuchen a little nervous. Zhou Mei was also a little uneasy. The surrounding people also noticed this and looked at Feng Qiuran.
Although they noticed Feng Qiuran's expression, they couldn't read her thoughts. Only Wang Baole, who was standing beside her, saw Feng Qiuran's dazed expression and guessed her emotions. Hence, he coughed and reminded Feng Qiuran. Then, he smiled and raised his hands to support Li Wuchen and Zhou Mei.
"I wish you both happiness and bliss."
At the same time, Feng Qiuran recovered from her daze with Wang Baole's reminder. She smiled and looked deeply at the newlyweds in front of her.
"I wish you both a long life together."
Hearing Wang Baole and Feng Qiuran's blessings, the surrounding cultivators of the Dao Palace cheered. The disciples of the Federation also gave their blessings. Li Wuchen also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what his relationship with Feng Qiuran was, but he had heard that it was Feng Qiuran who had handed him over to his master, Li Wuchen.
Hence, Li Wuchen respected Feng Qiuran as much as he respected Li Xingwen. At that moment, with Feng Qiuran's blessings, his heart was filled with anticipation for the future. He grasped Zhou Mei's hand tightly.
However, at that moment, the people in the Dao Palace didn't know that while the wedding ceremony was going on, the Leisurely Taoist, the Grand Elder of the Dao Palace, who hadn't participated in the ceremony, suddenly opened his eyes from his cross-legged position in the main hall. A blue flame appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"Finally … the repairs are done!"
As he muttered, the Leisurely Taoist stood up and laughed heartily. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sword body in the distance. The moment he looked in that direction, there was a roar that reverberated in the sky and shook the entire area.
The sea of fire churned and the restrictive spells collapsed one after another. A large number of fire beasts fled in horror. From the churning and erupting flames, a strange battleship that was made up of three discs that formed a triangular structure and had overlapping edges slowly rose up!
The battleship was so huge that it was like a gigantic object. It was so vast that one couldn't even see the end of it if they stood on it. At that moment, as it rose up, the sea of fire spread wildly in all directions, burning everything in its path!
As for the three discs that made up the battleship, each of them was the size of the moon. They were like three different worlds. As light flowed around them, they gave off a mysterious and unfathomable feeling. At the same time, the black exterior of the battleship was filled with a large number of runes. There was also an indescribable pressure that spread out as the battleship rose up.
At that moment, after the battleship emerged from the sea of fire, it immediately charged towards the border between the sword body and the sword hilt with a loud rumble!
All the restrictive spells shattered with loud bangs when they came into contact with the battleship. All the mountain rocks also collapsed without exception, causing the battleship to give off an invincible aura that could destroy everything in its path!
