Dong! Dong! Dong!
Eighty-one bells rang throughout the thirty-third Celestial Court. Resplendent immortal light streaked across the sky as tens of thousands of immortals gathered for the occasion.
Immortals, demons, and devils, representatives of various orthodoxies, as well as the chariots of many great masters, flew across the sky. The thirty-third Celestial Court was bustling with noise and excitement.
Today was the day of Ye Xuan and the Empyrean Fairy's wedding. This also meant that the new Queen Mother was about to ascend to the throne. This was a grand occasion in the Three Realms, so it was naturally extremely grand.
The Jade Pool!
Immortal clouds and auspicious vapors filled the air. Thousands of white jade tables were arranged in the center of the Jade Pool. Each table was filled with fine nectar and many spirit herbs for the immortals to consume.
At the center of the Jade Pool.
The Empyrean Fairy wore a phoenix coronet and a red dress. Paired with her noble and holy face, the Empyrean Fairy was the most beautiful sight in the Jade Pool.
The Empyrean Fairy was smiling. No matter which immortal greeted her, she would respond with a smile. However, if one were to pay close attention, they would notice that the Empyrean Fairy would occasionally glance in the direction of the Bullfighting Palace with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Your Highness, today is the day of your wedding with the Celestial Emperor. He must be on his way to the Jade Pool right now."
Venus Taibai was the best at reading people's expressions. Although the Empyrean Fairy hid it well, he could still tell what was on her mind. This allowed him to console the Empyrean Fairy.
"Didn't Ye Xuan come out of seclusion ten days ago? Don't you know where he went?" The Empyrean Fairy frowned.
Seeing the Empyrean Fairy frown, Venus Taibai bowed. Although a Heavenly General had reported to him that Ye Xuan had gone to the Lunar Star, how could he dare to tell the Empyrean Fairy such a thing?
"The Heavenly Emperor has never informed us of his actions. The Old Minister really doesn't know where the Heavenly Emperor has gone." Venus Taibai pretended to be ashamed.
"Reporting to the Empress, all the guests have arrived. In half an incense stick's worth of time, the ceremony will begin." Immortal Judge Sky quickly walked over and bowed to the Empyrean Fairy.
The so-called Heaven Worship Ceremony was the process of Ye Xuan and the Empyrean Fairy becoming husband and wife. The two of them first had to worship the heavens, then they would bow to each other and drink the Dragon-Phoenix Immortal Brew. This also represented the two of them becoming husband and wife.
However, all the guests had arrived, but Ye Xuan still hadn't appeared. The Heaven Worship Ceremony couldn't begin at all. If the auspicious time was delayed, then it would really become a joke.
At this time, the Empyrean Fairy's expression was very ugly. She never would have thought that on the day of her wedding with Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan would actually be late.
"Before the Heaven Worship Ceremony begins, this immortal doesn't care what method you use. You must delay until the Heavenly Emperor arrives," Venus Taibai sternly said to Immortal Judge Sky.
"This …?"
Immortal Judge Sky was put in a difficult position when he heard Venus Taibai's words. At this time, all the guests had arrived and there was only half an incense stick's worth of time until the Heaven Worship Ceremony began. How could a mere Immortal Judge Sky delay?
Seeing Immortal Judge Sky's difficult expression, Venus Taibai's expression darkened. He scolded in a low voice, "No matter what method you use to delay, you must wait for the Heavenly Emperor to appear. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you'll have to make a trip to the Immortal Execution Stage."
"Yes, this little immortal obeys."
Immortal Judge Sky's face turned pale. How could he dare to say no? He hurriedly turned around and walked to the center of the Jade Pool. Clearly, he could only brace himself and face the guests.
"Don't be impatient, Immortal Judge Sky will definitely arrive in time." Venus Taibai smiled flatteringly. However, a hint of anxiety flashed across his eyes. Clearly, he wasn't as calm as he appeared on the surface.
"Damn it!"
Empyrean Fairy cursed to herself. She turned around and sat down on the phoenix chair. She could only wait for Ye Xuan's arrival.
At the same time.
The Jade Pool gradually fell silent. All the guests' gazes were focused on Immortal Judge Sky. This was because Immortal Judge Sky was blabbering on and on about a bunch of useless nonsense.
At first, the guests didn't pay too much attention to it. They just thought it was a simple process.
However, as time passed, the guests suddenly realized something strange.
First of all, they hadn't seen Ye Xuan's figure since they entered the Jade Pool. Moreover, there was only ten minutes left until the auspicious hour. Moreover, the Empyrean Fairy's slightly embarrassed expression was noticed by the guests. If they still didn't realize that something was wrong, wouldn't it be a huge joke?
"What's going on? Why hasn't Ye Tiandi appeared yet?"
"Heh, look at that Immortal Judge Sky's pale face. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen to this wedding."
"It can't be. Today is Ye Tiandi and the Empyrean Fairy's wedding. This is a grand occasion in the Three Realms. How could something unexpected happen?"
"Fellow Daoist, look carefully. Ye Tiandi still hasn't appeared."
All sorts of discussions quietly sounded among the guests. Although their voices were very soft, they still reached the Empyrean Fairy's ears. This caused her face to turn red and her delicate fists to slightly clench.
"Noisy!"
Suddenly, Emperor Ziwei berated coldly, instantly silencing the guests' discussions.
"Mahamayuri has arrived."
"Western Tathagata Buddha has arrived."
"Underworld's King Chujiang has arrived."
"Taiyi Zhenren has arrived."
…
The Immortal Light of the Great All-Embracing Immortal filled the sky. As the people from various orthodoxies of the Three Realms entered the Jade Pool, it also slightly diverted the guests' attention.
"Haha."
Kong Xuan laughed out loud and quietly appeared in the Jade Pool. He said, "Today is Brother Ye's wedding day. I wonder if I'm late?"
"Greetings, Wisdom King."
Kong Xuan's arrival immediately caused the guests to greet him one by one. However, Kong Xuan looked everywhere for Ye Xuan's traces, but he didn't see any trace of Ye Xuan. Moreover, the atmosphere in the Jade Pool was so strange. How could Kong Xuan not feel it?
"Amitabha!"
Duobao Rulai chanted the name of Buddha and said in a calm voice, "Today is Ye Tiandi's wedding day. My Western Mystical Mountain is presenting a Bodhi Demon Subduing Pearl. I hope Ye Tiandi will kindly accept it."
As Duobao Rulai spoke, a golden Buddhist bead appeared in his palm. However, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile. Clearly, he was going to personally hand it over to Ye Xuan.
Since Kong Xuan could see that the atmosphere in the Jade Pool was strange, Duobao Rulai could naturally see it too. He naturally had to get involved in this muddy water.
Such a scene made Venus Taibai's face turn gloomy. Shen Gongbao and the others had already noticed that something was wrong. Empyrean Fairy even clenched her fists. Clearly, she could see that Duobao Rulai was adding fuel to the fire.
"It's just a Bodhi Demon Subduing Pearl. I'll accept it on behalf of Ye Tiandi."
Suddenly, Roc Demon walked out quietly. His Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivation base was unleashed. This also made Duobao Rulai's expression change slightly. He never expected Roc Demon to appear in the Celestial Court.
"You're a guest from afar. I'll accept your gift, Daoist Duobao."
Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared in front of Duobao Rulai. When he waved his hand, the Buddhist bead in Duobao Rulai's hand disappeared. This also made Duobao Rulai's expression change greatly. He took three steps back. When he saw the person clearly, an extremely solemn look flashed in his eyes.
"It's been many years since we last met. Ye Tiandi's cultivation base has become more and more unpredictable. I'm impressed." Duobao Rulai put his palms together and squinted his eyes slightly. His entire person became silent.
