In the first year of the 10,028th year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, a grand wedding was held in the palace of the Crimson Dragon Realm. Top figures from all sides came, and the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the Empress witnessed the wedding.
Everyone was a witness to it.
Ye Futian and the others watched the ceremony quietly from below the stage until Chi Shang and Yu Shifei bowed to each other, smiled at each other, and held each other's hands.
They would hold each other's hands and grow old together.
But it would not be easy for the two of them to grow old.
"Today is the day of Chi Shang and Shifei's wedding. The whole world is celebrating. Everyone who has come to congratulate them, please enjoy the banquet," the Crimson Dragon Emperor said loudly, and his voice spread throughout the palace.
A dazzling light shone, and an illusory divine tree seemed to appear in the sky. The divine tree swayed, and fiery red divine fruits fell from it.
"This fruit comes from the Ganyuan Fusang Divine Tree. It has accumulated the essence of the Flames of the Way for thousands of years. It belongs to whoever has it. No one is allowed to fight for it, "the Crimson Dragon Empress said. The divine tree covered the sky, and many divine fruits fell in different directions.
Countless people looked up at the sky with longing. This fruit was equivalent to absorbing a powerful kind of Flames of the Way, but the Empress had said that no one was allowed to fight for it. Naturally, no one dared to do so. The Crimson Dragon Empress wanted to liven things up.
The divine fruit fell, and Ye Futian and the others looked up. When they saw the fruit falling in their direction, they could not help but reach out.
Then, a fruit fell into a white palm.
Ye Futian smiled and looked at Xia Qingyuan next to him. "You're lucky."
Xia Qingyuan looked at him and smiled. Ye Futian thought that she was very beautiful. She rarely smiled like this, and he did not know what happy thing she was thinking about.
Many people who had received the fruit smiled, and they looked very surprised.
At the same time, the banquet began. Countless beautiful maids moved through the crowd, and for a time, there was a dazzling array of wine and food.
Furthermore, the fine wine and delicacies at the wedding banquet must be extremely precious treasures as well.
Many forces began to present their gifts one after another. Ye Futian and the others also presented their gifts in the name of Qianye City. While it was insignificant to Chi Shang, it was still a show of their sincerity and attitude.
The gifts were not important. It was just a situation. Of course, those who could enter the palace were all people of status, and no one would give gifts that were too light.
"Wait, there's one more thing." At that moment, Chi Shang suddenly spoke. Everyone looked at Chi Shang, who was on the ceremonial stage, and a strange look appeared on their faces. After that, everyone saw Chi Shang take off his formal robe, and a carefree smile appeared on his face.
Many people cried out in surprise, seeming to be particularly excited.
There had always been a custom in the Crimson Dragon Realm. If the newlyweds were willing to give their clothes to others after the wedding, it would be considered a sacred blessing ceremony. Generally speaking, only siblings or close friends would do such a thing.
It was obvious that Chi Shang intended to do this.
However, who was he going to bestow this divine blessing on?
Even the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the Empress revealed curious expressions. It was clear that they did not know that this was Chi Shang's own idea. It was entirely up to the newbie to decide.
Chi Shang and Yu Shifei walked down the stairs of the high platform toward the crowd. Countless eyes were fixed on them.
He didn't seem to be giving Chi Shang to any of his brothers.
So, would they give it to the most outstanding geniuses of the Crimson Dragon Realm?
Who could it be?
Chi Shang stopped in front of a young man, and countless eyes turned to look at him.
That silver-haired young man was still dazzling in the crowd. His handsome face was no less than that of Prince Chi Shang at his wedding.
He was now a prominent figure in the Crimson Dragon Realm, known as the strongest genius of his generation in the realm. Did Chi Shang intend to bestow this divine blessing on him?
As expected, Chi Shang put the formal robe on Ye Futian.
He smiled and said, "I hope that one day, I will be able to witness Lord Ye's grand occasion."
He turned around and looked at Yu Shifei after saying this.
Yu Shifei smiled at him and took off her gift as well, then put it on Xia Qingyuan.
Xia Qingyuan did not even have time to react. She just stared at her blankly. Chi Shang and Yu Shifei turned around and left, looking carefree and unrestrained.
"Good luck." Yu Shifei's voice sounded in her mind. Xia Qingyuan looked at her back and did not know what to feel.
Back at the Peach Banquet, Chi Shang and Yu Shifei both knew that Xia Qingyuan might have been in unrequited love. Later, they asked around about Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan and found out everything.
This silver-haired young man and the princess of Emperor Xia's Realm had their own interesting stories.
Some people from the Regional Palace were stunned and looked at them. Then Pei Min, Duan Wuji, and the others all laughed. Chi Shang's personality was like this. He did things in a carefree manner. Perhaps there was no special reason for him to do this. He was just doing what he wanted.
However, being the only one to receive the blessing of Chi Shang and Yu Shifei among countless people still made him stand out, attracting countless gazes.
"Thank you, Your Highness," Ye Futian said with a smile and did not say anything else.
Xia Qingyuan took a look at Ye Futian beside her, then fell silent and said nothing more.
Many cultivators from the Luo clan and the Jiang clan looked at Ye Futian. It did not take long for this City Lord of Qianye City to steal the limelight from all the geniuses in the Crimson Dragon Realm. That battle with Xing Kai in particular, where he killed Xing Kai despite being a level higher, had truly made him famous.
Now, Chi Shang obviously saw him in a different light.
They did not know that back at the Peach Banquet, on the Divine Martial Road, Chi Shang and the others in the Royal Palace had already known who was the strongest in terms of cultivation.
The banquet began, and the atmosphere in the Royal Palace became lively.
A figure walked towards the people of the Regional Palace. It was Jiang Tai 'e. He looked at Ye Futian, Pei Min, and the others, then raised his glass and said, "I heard that after City Lord Ye broke through to the True Self Plane, you are already unparalleled in the Regional Palace?"
"There are too many talented people in the Regional Palace. I dare not claim to be unparalleled," Ye Futian said humbly.
Jiang Tai 'e looked at Pei Min. He had heard that even Pei Min had been defeated. If that was the case, there should be no one else who could fight.
"You are too humble, City Lord Ye. If there is a chance, I would like to learn from you," Jiang Tai 'e said politely.
"Certainly," Ye Futian nodded, then Jiang Tai 'e turned around and left.
Luo Yang also looked at Ye Futian. He also wanted to spar with Ye Futian. It was not because he was jealous of Ye Futian, but because Ye Futian was so powerful that he really wanted to spar with him.
Luo Yang's defeat at the Peach Banquet had always been on his mind. He wondered what would have happened if he had fought with all his strength without restraint.
"It seems that everyone is itching for a fight." Chi Shang came here after toasting the elders. He looked at the group of people in this space. It was the group who had participated in the Peach Banquet. They were all here. It seemed that they had inadvertently gathered together.
"Your Highness, please do not blame us," Jiang Tai 'e said.
"I can understand. As someone on the Regional King Ranking, there are not many opponents in the Crimson Dragon Realm. There are only a few people who can fight with me," Chi Shang said with a smile. In reality, after his cultivation had entered the Divine Path, he had felt that the Crimson Dragon Realm was a bit boring.
With his status, those who were stronger than him did not dare to fight with him.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Luo Yang seemed to hear something between the lines.
"After the wedding, it is to settle this matter. After that, Shifei and I plan to go out and explore. We will go to the Heavenly Mandate Imperial Realm," Chi Shang said. Everyone around him trembled when they heard this.
It turned out that Chi Shang wanted to go out and train.
Before that, he would marry Yu Shifei and become Path Companions. They could hold hands in the future.
"The Heavenly Mandate Imperial Realm," many people murmured. This name was both strange and familiar.
Of course, they had heard of it. How could they not know of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, one of the Nine Supreme Imperial Realms?
The Heavenly Mandate Realm was the main realm of hundreds of Renhuang Realms. Under the Heavenly Mandate Realm, there were ten major realms.
The Crimson Dragon Realm was only one of them.
That was where the top figures of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path gathered.
"The Heavenly Mandate Realm."
Ye Futian's heart trembled when he heard Chi Shang's words. He looked up into the sky.
The peerless Empress that Emperor Xia and Xia Qingyuan had told him about was in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
He had waited for this day for a long time.
Letting Yu Sheng enter the Regional Palace was also to get closer to the royal palace.
Now, his name was known throughout the Crimson Dragon Realm. He could finally get close to the royal palace and Prince Chi Shang.
Finally, he heard the words "Heavenly Mandate Realm."
"Lord Ye, do you want to stay here as a City Lord, or do you want to take up an important position in the Crimson Dragon Army, or do you want to go out for a walk?" Chi Shang asked Ye Futian. If Ye Futian was willing to join the Crimson Dragon Army, he could give him an extremely important position.
In the future, he could become a great figure in the Crimson Dragon Army and guard the Crimson Dragon Realm.
However, Chi Shang did not want this to be Ye Futian's future. With the talent he had shown, his life should be in a higher place, where it would be more exciting.
This had always been his dream. He wanted to go to a higher realm.
"Go out." Ye Futian spat out these two words without hesitation. Xia Qingyuan, who was beside him, lowered her head slightly. She seemed to be a little depressed.
But soon, she raised her head and revealed a faint smile. Finally, this day was coming.
Sooner or later, he would know everything. Whether Hua Jieyu was still alive or not.
She would help him find the truth as soon as possible. She knew that this matter had been weighing on Ye Futian's mind for many years.
All these years, he had been working hard in this direction.
"Very well." Chi Shang smiled and nodded. He looked at the others and said, "What about you? The people on the Regional King Ranking don't need to say much. The people here, if you want, can come with me and see what the Supreme Imperial Realm is like."
Everyone was tempted, and many immediately nodded.
They could not miss such an opportunity.
They also wanted to go to a higher place and see the famous figures there!
