Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao were discussing the matter of writing invitations in the study.
Of course, they had to invite the people from the Sky Pillar Sect, but not everyone could come to Zhongzhou to attend the wedding ceremony.
Sect Master Chu Tiansheng and Grand Elder Xiang Wuji had to be invited.
Other than that, some of the elders in the sect might also come.
Not only the people from the Sky Pillar Sect, but also the Heavenly Net Demon Emperor, Spirit Star Demon Empress, Prince Kunwu, and Princess Ji Ke of the Demon Imperial Court. This family had to be invited.
As for the many princes in the Emperor Manor, the two of them also had to personally send invitations.
For these matters, Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao busied themselves for an entire day before sending out the invitations.
...
The news of Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao's upcoming wedding had already spread throughout Zhongzhou.
Ji Tianxing was a prodigy whose name shook Zhongzhou. He was the number one prodigy of the human race.
Yun Yao was the apple of Cloud Spirit Palace's eye. She was a proud daughter of the heavens.
Their wedding could be said to be an unparalleled grand ceremony that everyone was paying attention to.
In the hundred cities of Zhongzhou, the common people on the streets and alleys were discussing this matter.
Not long after the disaster of the Demonic Parasite Riot, the various cities had just regained their peace and stability.
The common people needed some festive and eye-catching news to divert their attention and dilute the panic and fear brought about by the Demonic Parasite Riot.
Not long ago, news spread from the Emperor Manor that Ji Tianxing was a great contributor to quelling the Demonic Parasite Riot this time.
Although the hundreds of millions of common people did not know what happened and why, everyone believed this.
However, everyone believed the news and felt gratitude and respect for Ji Tianxing.
When the common people learned about Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao's wedding, they were all happy for this couple. They silently blessed and prayed for them.
Almost everyone thought that the two of them were a match made in heaven and deserved everyone's blessings.
Only a few people with ulterior motives would secretly criticize and slander them.
On the other hand, Cloud Soul Palace had been preparing for the wedding, and they wanted to make the wedding a grand and solemn one that would attract the attention of the world.
Yun Zhongqi and Baili Ningsu were also determined to let their daughter marry Ji Tianxing in the most glorious and happy manner possible.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so of course, he had to leave behind the best memories and memories.
…
South of Central State City, in a mountain range a hundred li away from the city.
Inside the Third Prince's palace, although it seemed calm on the surface, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was surging violently and gathering in one of the palaces.
In a secret chamber deep within the palace, the Third Prince sat on a spiritual jade throne. He waved his palms with a solemn expression, activating the power of the five-colored altar.
Inside the five-colored altar's magical treasure space, the mountain-like Heaven-swallowing Beast was wrapped in a dark red light, and its body was rapidly expanding.
It kept twisting its body, opening its mouth to let out a violent roar, and a shocking hurricane swept up around it.
Compared to a few days ago, its body was twice as big, and its strength had doubled. It was even more violent than a mature Heaven-swallowing Beast.
Although it was originally a Heaven-swallowing Beast cub, it had been catalyzed by the Myriad Gu Origin and absorbed the power of the Gu Dao divine artifact.
Now that it was rapidly growing stronger, it had already mutated. It was no longer a pure ancient mutated beast, but a giant evil beast!
An hour later, when the blood-red light around the Heaven-swallowing Beast's body receded, its body gradually returned to normal.
It stopped struggling and roaring, quietly lying in the magical treasure space, silently gasping for breath.
The Third Prince also stopped, and slowly withdrew his palms.
He adjusted his breathing for a moment, then opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his deep eyes.
"The catalysis is finally complete! Now, it's time for the final step.
As long as Tuoba Rui and the Heaven-swallowing Beast complete the fusion, we will be able to create a perfect Heavenly Capital puppet! "
Saying so, he waved his hand, sending a five-colored light into the secret chamber's stone door.
The secret chamber's stone door creaked open, and he ordered sternly, "Tell Tuoba Rui to come and see me."
The guard outside the door bowed and accepted the order, then quickly turned and left.
Not long after, a burly young man with a head full of red hair stepped into the secret room.
He was the Third Prince's foster son, Tuoba Rui.
With a muffled bang, the secret chamber's stone door closed.
Tuoba Rui walked to the Third Prince respectfully, bowed, and said, "Foster Father, what can I do for you?"
The Third Prince looked at him calmly and asked, "Tuoba Rui, I asked you to cultivate the Blood Fusion Divine Art in seclusion. How has your cultivation been in the past half a month?"
Tuoba Rui did not understand what he meant, so he answered honestly, "Foster Father, the Blood Fusion Divine Art will consume my Qi and blood, replenish my spirit and soul, and greatly weaken my strength.
I followed your instructions and cultivated diligently for half a month. My spirit and soul have doubled, but my Qi and blood have weakened by 50%.
May I ask, Foster Father, why did you ask me to cultivate this useless cultivation method? "
"Useless cultivation method?" The Third Prince raised his eyebrows, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "To you, this is indeed a useless cultivation method, and it will even harm your strength.
But to me, this cultivation method is very useful.
Since you have been cultivating for half a month, you should be ready now.
Hold your breath and concentrate, activate your Qi and blood, and make it explode 12 times. I am going to perform the Heaven Capital Blood Fusion Divine Art … "
Hearing the Third Prince's words, Tuoba Rui's expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened in horror.
"Foster Father! Are you … really going to let the Sky-devouring Beast devour me? "
The Third Prince stared at him expressionlessly, and said in a cold and serious tone, "I am not going to devour you. I am going to let you merge with the Sky-devouring Beast and refine you into a Heaven Capital Puppet!
From now on, you will be the Sky-devouring Beast, and the Sky-devouring Beast will be you. You will have the strength of a Soul Refining Cultivator.
I am helping you, and this is your fortune! "
Tuoba Rui's expression turned even uglier, and he retreated in horror. He waved his hand and refused, "Foster Father, I don't want to become a puppet, and I don't want to have the strength of a Soul Refining Cultivator.
I am loyal to you, and I only want to serve you by your side … "
The Third Prince looked at him indifferently, and said in a low voice, "I used the Origin of All Venomous Insects to catalyze the Sky-devouring Beast, and secretly raised this evil beast, which went against the Imperial Court's laws.
If this news leaks out, it will definitely attract the Imperial Court's attention, and those forces that oppose me will definitely use this to make an issue out of it.
Only by merging you and the Sky-devouring Beast into a Heaven Capital Puppet can you not attract attention, and you can also make the Sky-devouring Beast more powerful.
Tuoba Rui, I have raised you for so many years, and I have spent so much resources and effort on you.
Now, it's time for you to repay this Lord's kindness and contribute to this Lord's ambition! "
Hearing the Third Prince's cold words, Tuoba Rui was shocked and angry, and he turned to run without hesitation.
