After the marriage proposal was successfully completed, Nüwa naturally returned to her own Wahuang Heaven. As soon as she returned, Fuxi went up to her and asked, "Sister, how did it go? Did Daoist Xihe agree?" Nüwa did not say much and only nodded.
When Fuxi saw Nüwa nod, he immediately left the Palace of Empress Wa and returned to the Celestial Court. Nüwa looked worried. Although Xi He had agreed, it was hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a curse. Fuxi was also in the vortex of the Cultivation Tribulation. It was unknown whether he would be able to escape safely. She could only try her best to take care of him. Of course, there was also Xi He. After all, she was the one who proposed the marriage and pulled her in.
After Fuxi returned to the Celestial Court, he immediately informed Di Jun. When Di Jun heard that Xi He had agreed, he was overjoyed. "Good, good, good. Jimeng, quickly start making arrangements in the Celestial Court. This Heavenly Marriage must be done well. Do not humiliate the Demon Clan. In addition, send invitations to all parties involved in the Great Desolation. As for the Sages, I will have to trouble Fuxi's Daoist Friend."
The Sages were different from others. Those who sent the invitations had to be of high status. Fuxi was not only Emperor Xi of the Demon Clan, but he was also the elder brother of Sage Nüwa. The other Sages had to give him some face. It was appropriate for him to send the invitations to the Sages.
After Di Jun's marriage was confirmed, the entire Celestial Court immediately took action. At the same time, Di Jun also used his mana and announced to the entire Great Desolation, "I am the Demon Emperor Di Jun. I feel that the Great Desolation's Yin and Yang are in chaos, the Three Cardinal Principles are not in order, and human relations are not in order. Therefore, I have decided to hold a Heavenly Marriage as an example of the Great Desolation. I will hold the Heavenly Marriage in the Celestial Court eighty-one years later!"
After Di Jun announced the Great Desolation, the Celestial Court sent people to send invitations to the various Gods of the Great Desolation. Although Di Jun had already announced the Heavenly Marriage to the Great Desolation, and these Gods of the Great Desolation already knew about it, they still had to send out invitations to show their respect.
River Styx was also on Di Jun's invitation list. This was a good opportunity to test River Styx's attitude towards the Demon Clan. If River Styx could come, it would mean that the relationship between River Styx and the Wu people was not as good as they thought. Perhaps the purple gas in Hongmeng was just a transaction. If he did not come, they could only prepare for the worst.
Not long after, on the Sacred Island of the Blood Sea, River Styx received the invitation personally sent by Fuxi. Looking at the invitation, no one knew what he was thinking. Then, with a flame, the entire invitation turned into ashes. He looked in the direction of the Moon Star and went into seclusion again. Did he not forget about her, or did he not forget at all?
Eighty-one years later, the day of the Heavenly Marriage arrived. The Celestial Court was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Gongs and drums sounded. Billions of people in the Celestial Court were mobilized, decorating the Celestial Court with a festive atmosphere. The Demon Clan had spent a lot of effort for this Heavenly Marriage. After all, this was the wedding of the Demon Clan's Emperor. How could they be shabby? Otherwise, they would become the laughing stock of the Great Desolation.
In the Great Desolation, various immortals and deities rode on clouds, led by spiritual beasts, and escorted by precious carriages. All kinds of auspicious clouds floated. Some were colorful, some were fiery red, some were golden, and some were green clouds. All kinds of spiritual beasts gathered. Some were auspicious beasts like Kirin, some were graceful as red-crowned cranes, some were carrying tigers, and some were pulling carriages like flood dragons. All kinds of immortal methods were displayed as they headed to the Heavenly Palace to congratulate the Heavenly Palace.
In the Celestial Court, as the groom, Di Jun personally led the team to the Moon Star's Moon Palace to pick up the bride. As the matchmaker and wedding host, Nüwa naturally followed the team to the Moon Star. Therefore, the Celestial Court was temporarily handed over to Donghuang Taichi and Fuxi to manage the ceremony and welcome the guests.
Of course, as the Demon Emperor of the Celestial Court, Taichi did not need to personally welcome any small fry. Bai Ze, one of the ten Great Demon Commanders, led a group of people to welcome the guests outside the Southern Heaven Gate of the Celestial Court. Ordinary immortals and deities were received by them. Only when the Great Desolation deities, whose status was higher than Bai Ze's, came would Taichi and Fuxi come out to welcome them.
Bai Ze was a Quasi-saint master and the Demon Commander of the Celestial Court. His status was already very special. He was not qualified, and there were not many guests that needed Taichi to personally receive. Moreover, Bai Ze was smart and cunning, smooth and experienced. He was the best person to do this kind of thing. He welcomed all kinds of immortals and deities with ease, like a fish in water.
The many immortals who came to congratulate Bai Ze and the others all handed over their gifts. Then, they were welcomed into the Celestial Court by Bai Ze and the others. They entered the wedding banquet that had already been prepared and waited for the wedding to begin. However, the most important guests had not arrived yet.
The most important guests were, of course, the saints. However, after waiting for a long time, not a single one had come. Di Jun, who was in the middle of welcoming the bride, was unhappy when he heard this, but he quickly covered it up. After all, today was his big day.
In fact, Di Jun was taking it for granted. If the saints had not become saints and were invited to the wedding, they would have definitely come. However, now that they were saints, they did not care to attend this kind of wedding. Di Jun was not a saint, so he was not qualified for them to congratulate him. Naturally, no saint would come. Of course, other than Nüwa, who was the host of the wedding.
Not long after, the procession that was going to the Moon Star to receive the bride had already arrived in front of the Southern Heaven Gate. It turned out that the auspicious time for the wedding had arrived. The immortals who came to congratulate looked past the layers of buildings and saw the procession outside the Southern Heaven Gate. They couldn't help but cheer in their hearts.
There were many people in the procession. They were beating gongs, drums, and ceremonial guards to open the way. It stretched for hundreds of miles. This was not a big deal. The Celestial Court had a lot of people. It was not a big deal to organize such a large procession.
What really attracted people's attention was the carriage that the bridegroom was in and the phoenix carriage that the bride was in. Di Jun's carriage was made of Sun Essence Gold. It shone brightly and was extremely dazzling. There was a canopy that was decorated with various colored gems. The carriage was pulled by nine real dragons with golden scales and horns. It was extremely luxurious.
Di Jun sat under the canopy. Under the contrast of the luxurious carriage's canopy, the aura of an emperor gushed out. Xi He's phoenix carriage was also made of Sun Essence Gold. It was carved with exquisite patterns and inlaid with countless precious gems. It shone brightly.
There were nine phoenixes pulling the carriage. It was worthy of being called a phoenix carriage. When the auspicious time arrived, Nüwa, who was accompanying them, stepped onto the stage that was already prepared and began to preside over the wedding. Di Jun, the bridegroom, helped Xi He out of the phoenix carriage. The Celestial Court was already prepared. The celestial marriage ceremony was about to begin.
Di Jun was the leader of the Celestial Court. He had a noble status. During the celestial marriage ceremony, there was no need for him to bow three times and kowtow nine times. He only needed to bow to Heaven and Earth. Nüwa softly shouted, "Celestial marriage, set up." Suddenly, a large golden cloud of merit descended from the sky. It was the merit of the celestial marriage.
Although this golden cloud of merit could not be compared to the merit bestowed by Di Jun and Taichi when they set up the Celestial Court, it was still quite significant. Many guests were envious of it. The golden cloud of merit descended from the sky and suddenly divided into four golden rays. The two thickest rays each accounted for forty percent of the total amount of merit. They fell on Di Jun and Xi He's heads.
Xi He and Di Jun were the protagonists of the celestial marriage. Because of this celestial marriage, the Three Principles were spread throughout the Void. Therefore, they received the most merit. Nüwa, as the matchmaker and officiator of the marriage, received ten percent of the merit. However, this merit was all absorbed by the red embroidered ball. Fuxi, as the facilitator of the marriage, also received ten percent of the merit. Although his cultivation was still at the late stage of Quasi-saint, he had made some progress.
After absorbing the merit of the celestial marriage, Xi He directly used it to cut out the evil corpse. Her cultivation successfully entered the late stage of Quasi-saint. After absorbing the merit, Di Jun broke through to the peak of Quasi-saint, although he did not understand the obsession. He became the second peak Quasi-saint expert after River Styx in the Great Desolation.
The wedding banquet was full of guests. The table was full of delicacies, immortal fruits, spiritual roots, and jade nectar. Even the tableware was a precious weapon made of gold, silver, ivory, and other materials. Not only did it glow, but it was also surrounded by spiritual energy. It was obvious that it was a treasure of good quality.
As Di Jun accepted the congratulations of the crowd, he glanced at the empty seats in front of him. His good mood was immediately ruined. Sanqing, Summon, Zhunti, and River Styx did not come. Obviously, they did not take Di Jun and the Demon Race seriously. How could Di Jun not be angry?
Strength, in the end, was not strong enough. If he was a Saint or Origin Daluo Jinxian, and the Demon Race was the master of this world, would these six people refuse to come if he invited them? At this moment, Di Jun could not wait to defeat the Wu people. He wanted to use the luck of the Great Desolation to achieve Origin Dao Fruit. At this moment, what he desired most was supreme strength.
