Chapter 805: Chapter 380: Dance of the Heavenly Demon

Five Dragons Island.

Although Li Tianmo failed his Core Formation, he is still a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Direct Disciple of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

This wedding celebration is being held within his own cave mansion, and many fellow disciples and acquaintances from over the years have come to congratulate him.

Moreover, the bride from the Zhou Family, although not the daughter of the current patriarch, is a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator, and the Zhou Family is a Fake Pill family in the Yue Kingdom.

Among the low-tier disciples of the Profound Sound Pavilion, no one would be so disrespectful to fail to recognize the status of either Li Tianmo, who is at the peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, or the Zhou Family.

For a time, this wedding celebration was bustling with excitement.

"Congratulations, Brother Li."

Shen Zhuang, with a face full of smiles, came forward to offer his congratulations. Li Tianmo, having gained a bit more steadiness after his Core Formation failure, also smiled and clasped his hands upon seeing him.

"I can’t compare to Brother Shen, who already married a daughter of the Mei Family and now has two children."

Faced with Li Tianmo’s teasing, Shen Zhuang also chuckled cheerfully, as his wife, Mei Ning, followed behind him.

She is also a fellow disciple who participated in the Profound Sound Pavilion sect competition back then and has been cultivating at Celestial Spring Peak for years.

Now, as Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the two maintain a loving relationship.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li."

On this auspicious day of Li Tianmo’s wedding, Zhou Bingxuan also arrived with a smile to extend her congratulations.

With Zhou Bingxuan’s arrival, many people greeted her respectfully.

Firstly, the Zhou Family’s development is commendable. After all, they possess an almost Tier Three Profound Water Turtle in their homeland, which, barring any surprises, is sufficient to ensure their family’s longevity for a thousand years.

Secondly, the Zhou Family has been developing well in recent years, reportedly always providing resources to support Zhou Bingxuan.

Among cultivators, relationships extend beyond mere fighting; human interactions are also significant.

Especially among the cultivators within the Profound Sound Pavilion, most of whom are from the Yue Kingdom, they naturally help each other when away from home.

"Junior Sister Zhou, perhaps next time we meet, I shall have to call you Senior Zhou."

Li Tianmo sometimes feels a bit envious of Zhou Bingxuan, having her family continuously provide cultivation resources without burdening her.

Who wouldn’t be envious of that?

"Senior Brother Li is joking; achieving Core Formation is incredibly challenging."

Zhou Bingxuan shook her head as she spoke; she wasn’t very confident about achieving Core Formation.

Though the Zhou Family is formidable compared to ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they hardly catch the eye of Core Formation Cultivators.

Li Tianmo’s eyes couldn’t hide his envy, while Zhou Bingxuan lightly sighed, as outsiders only saw the prosperity of the Zhou Family, but how many understood the Zhou Family’s centuries of development?

Over these hundreds of years, how many catastrophes has the Zhou Family endured?

The Zhou Family has achieved today’s status through the efforts of ten to twenty generations, while the Li Family has only gone through a few generations.

For this Core Formation celebration, Fairy Ni Chang, the Sect Leader of Profound Sound Pavilion, didn’t come, but instead sent a congratulatory gift.

And Lin Chang’an, whom Li Tianmo longed to see, also didn’t come. While he felt a bit disappointed, he was otherwise content.

Other disciples didn’t find it strange, after all, Core Formation Cultivators often go into seclusion for as little as a year and a half or as long as several decades.

However, amid the joyous celebration, until everyone dispersed, Li Tianmo discovered a particular gift among all the others.

"Thank you, Great-Uncle!"

The gift wasn’t valuable, but Li Tianmo couldn’t help but shed tears after seeing it.

...

Under the moonlight, through the octagonal pavilion of Celestial Spring Peak, one could faintly see the distant festivities.

"Mr. Lin, why didn’t you go?"

"What use would it be to go? To give these juniors unrealistic fantasies?"

Within the octagonal pavilion, Lin Chang’an sipped his Spirit Tea with a serene expression, and his gaze lingering on the distant festivities caused no emotional ripples.

Seeing this, Fairy Ni Chang nodded lightly in agreement.

"Indeed, humans are such creatures. Even knowing what will never be, if Mr. Lin were to appear, it might inevitably stir inappropriate fantasies.

Sometimes it’s better to sever mortal ties early and wholeheartedly pursue the path to immortality, which is beneficial to both oneself and others."

Unrealistic fantasies often lead to disaster.

Fairy Ni Chang glanced at Lin Chang’an, a gentle smile appearing on her face as she slowly raised her hand to add more tea for him.

"Fellow Daoist, regarding the upcoming Secret Realm journey, are you planning to leave temporarily?"

Faced with Fairy Ni Chang’s inquiry, Lin Chang’an found nothing odd about it. He nodded lightly, signifying his agreement.

After all, they were long-time acquaintances, and Fairy Ni Chang had deduced that Lin Chang’an didn’t wish to join major forces.

Especially with the current turmoil of the Demon Beast Abyss, involving far-reaching implications, joining major forces wouldn’t guarantee peace.

And surviving a Secret Realm trip, who knows if you might carry treasures?

Thus, most cultivators who emerge from Secret Realms usually first hide away to secretly assimilate their treasures.

Just like the Blood Evil Master, such a renowned Core Formation Late Stage Peak Cultivator needed to do the same.

"Then what about you, Fellow Daoist?"

Lin Chang’an replied with a smile, and under the moonlight, Fairy Ni Chang appeared especially ethereal. She teased with a faint smile:

"I am not like Mr. Lin, having collaborations with the Nascent Soul Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace, making it known to all. Outsiders will merely believe that I am in seclusion within my cave mansion.

After all, I did not participate in the struggle over the Secret Realm Fragment."

Fairy Ni Chang implied that she would enter the Secret Realm, but certainly under a hidden identity.

Lin Chang’an did wonder where she acquired a Secret Realm Fragment from, but he refrained from asking further, as everyone has their secrets.

"I’ve arranged everything for the Profound Sound Pavilion. If I do not return, Ru Yu will handle sect affairs, supported by Xu Lingfeng and the other Core Formation Cultivators.

With the Seven Kingdoms Alliance standing guard, a Profound Sound Pavilion lacking a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator might not be an entirely bad situation for the Alliance."
