"Not bad, brother. You really have a way. Now it's the calm before the storm."
Canyang patted Du Feng's shoulder, indicating for him to get ready. Nothing would happen during this period, because both sides needed time to prepare. After that, they would start fighting.
The following days were really quiet, so quiet that it felt unreal. Even the number of street vendors and residents walking casually on the streets had decreased. Everyone seemed to have a premonition that something was about to happen.
During this period, Du Feng and the others were also very obedient. Fu Xi received Yan Di's guidance and cultivated at home. With the guidance of the Green Supreme Thearch, Canyang stayed at home to cultivate. But whether it was Fu Xi or Canyang, they could only teach Du Feng their family's cultivation method. They didn't dare to not pass their master's cultivation method to him.
This was the rule of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court, and also the rule of the entire Heaven Realm. Only the direct disciples of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court could practice their cultivation method. Even if you were secretly watching and learned it yourself, you couldn't. As long as outsiders dared to practice their cultivation method, they would definitely be killed by the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court.
Both sides were preparing, and just as a conflict was about to break out, a piece of news suddenly came out. This news attracted everyone's attention. The Yellow Emperor, one of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court, who had always been neutral, was actually going to find a husband for his daughter, and it was going to be a martial competition.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the Yellow Emperor's daughter to be worried about marriage."
After hearing this news, Fu Xi laughed happily. He had long heard that the Yellow Emperor was a rather special one among the Five Emperors. He didn't accept disciples, didn't grow his power, and didn't compete with the other four senior Immortal Emperors. He only knew how to cultivate in seclusion all day, and almost didn't care about worldly affairs.
The only person he cared about was his daughter, Huang Ying. Because Huang Ying's mother died early, she always stayed by her father's side. Other than diligently cultivating, he didn't hear anything about her. He didn't expect that such a female martial artist actually wanted to marry him. Of course, it was possible that the Yellow Emperor felt that it was time to find a home for her.
"Do you think it's because the Yellow Emperor's body can't take it anymore and he wants to find a home for his daughter before he dies?"
"Nonsense. His Majesty the Yellow Emperor lives as long as the heavens. Why can't he? I'm guessing he's about to break through."
Everyone discussed among themselves, trying to guess the Yellow Emperor's intentions. However, the Azure Emperor, the Flame Emperor, and the Sky Emperor had different thoughts. Was this a simple matter? Even the Yellow Emperor wanted to stand out and take a side. He held a martial arts contest for his daughter, saying that he was looking for a son-in-law.
Choosing a son-in-law was like choosing a faction, because the most outstanding young people in the Heaven Realm were basically recruited as disciples by the other old sects' Immortal Emperors.
If anyone's disciple married Huang Ying, that would be equivalent to becoming in-laws with the Yellow Emperor. The Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court were now in a two-on-two situation. As for the Immortal Emperor of the Shangguan family, he was not a threat. But if the Yellow Emperor stood on someone's side, things would be completely different.
The Yellow Emperor was an experienced Immortal Emperor. He was famous during the same era as the Flame Emperor, but he was even more famous than the Flame Emperor. But for some reason, he had kept a low profile. If anyone's disciple married the Yellow Emperor's daughter, they would be able to ride on the Yellow Emperor's coattails and reach the heavens in a single step.
The Azure Emperor, the Flame Emperor, the Sky Emperor, and the others were all thinking about how to get their disciples to marry the Yellow Emperor's daughter. The Flame Emperor was even a little vexed. His disciples were all average looking, and there weren't many handsome guys. Luckily, the rule this time was a martial arts contest for a spouse. Only the champion would have the right to marry Huang Ying.
Currently, the most depressed person was Emperor Le. She thought that she had very few disciples, and they were all female. No matter how outstanding her female disciples were, they could not marry the Yellow Emperor's daughter. Even if the Yellow Emperor was willing, Huang Ying would definitely not be willing.
"Hahaha, this is a good opportunity."
At this time, the Shangguan Residence was holding a family meeting to discuss which Immortal Lords to participate in the martial arts contest for a spouse. This was because the Yellow Emperor had already set the rules. His daughter was Immortal Lord Level 9 Cultivation, so the participants had to be Immortal Lord Cultivation. Those who were not Immortal Lord Cultivation or above Immortal Lord Cultivation could not participate.
Therefore, some of the Azure Emperor's disciples could not participate. Because he was the oldest, he had taken in disciples the earliest, and his disciples had become famous earlier. Most of them were Immortal Emperors now. Only new disciples like Canyang were at the Immortal Lord level.
On the contrary, although the Immortal Emperor of the Shangguan family was only a Rank 3 Immortal Lord, their family had nurtured many youths who were Immortal Lords. This martial arts contest for a spouse felt like it was organized for them.
"If we can become in-laws with the Yellow Emperor, our Shangguan family … Hahaha!"
The Shangguan family became happier as they chatted. They felt that it was time for them to rise.
The Sky Emperor was also in a good mood. There were many Immortal Lord cultivators among his disciples, and they were of a suitable age. Although many Immortal City Lords were also Immortal Lord Cultivation City Lords, they were too old to participate in the martial arts contest for a spouse. Moreover, those people already had wives and children. The Yellow Emperor would definitely not let his daughter be a concubine.
Counting carefully, Emperor Le did not have any disciples to participate. The Azure Emperor did not have many disciples either. Only the Flame Emperor had more disciples. However, the Flame Emperor's disciples were all over two meters tall. Would Huang Ying really take a fancy to them?
In the hearts of the Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court, the winner would definitely be one of their disciples. They had already forgotten about everyone else. After the announcement was made, many Immortal Lord cultivators came to register. There were even Yao Lords who wanted to join in the fun. However, they were told that only human cultivators were allowed to participate in the martial arts contest for a spouse. Only then did they leave.
"How about it, Brother Du? It's all up to you now."
At this time, in Canyang's house, Du Feng, Canyang, and Fu Xi had gathered together again. Fu Xi knew his own standard. He was only a Level 1 Immortal Lord Cultivation City Lord. There was no way he could become the champion. Furthermore, under the same Cultivation City Lord circumstances, his battle prowess was not as strong as Du Feng's. Furthermore, Du Feng was already a Level 6 Immortal Lord advanced stage cultivator. He was about to reach the Level 7 Immortal Lord soon.
"It's indeed more suitable for you to win. Our faction will become stronger."
Even Canyang, who did not like to gossip, suggested for Du Feng to participate in the martial arts contest for a spouse. If Du Feng married Huang Ying, it would be equivalent to gaining the support of the Yellow Emperor, the Azure Emperor, and the Flame Emperor. There would be no need to fear the Shangguan family, the Heavenly Emperor, or the Azure Emperor.
"But I don't want to marry Huang Ying."
