Chapter 1299 1290: Late Nascent Soul Stage
However, what shocked Chen Yuqiu and the others was yet to come.
One by one, Jindan Cultivators entered in succession, each with outstanding demeanor and extraordinary presence.
Most of them were Inner Sect Disciples of Huanzhen Sword Peak, and some were disciples from other Sword Peaks whom Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang had befriended.
What was even more shocking to the Chen family was yet to come.
“Primordial Infant Cultivator Yuan Rong from Huanzhen Sword Peak has come to celebrate, congratulating Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang on their marriage, and wishing them a journey together on the great path.”
“A Primordial Infant Cultivator?!”
The members of the Chen family were stunned, staring in disbelief at Yuan Rong who presented the gift to the White Ape.
In any realm of the Cultivation World, a Primordial Infant True Monarch is among the most elite, an existence unattainable for the Chen family living in a remote area. Unexpectedly, one personally came to celebrate with their family member.
“Nascent Soul Elder Li Xuanchen from Sword Palace has come to celebrate, wishing the newlywed Daoist couple eternal happiness and mutual enlightenment of the Dao.”
“Chongxu Sword Peak…”
“Hundred Artisans Sword Peak…”
One by one, Nascent Soul Cultivators entered the main hall, each with a warm smile, presenting treasures as gifts.
“The True Sword Master has arrived! Wishing the two disciples from Sword Peak harmony and progress together!”
Finally, Jian Huanzhen made his grand entrance.
Thus, all the guests attending the wedding of Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang had arrived.
“The legendary Sword Master…”
Chen Yuqiu murmured, lost in thought.
He learned some information about the Sword Master from the journals left by his ancestors.
The Nine Sword Masters hold extraordinary significance, whether in terms of personal strength or the forces they command. They are revered figures across the entire Cultivation World.
“Qingshuang’s mentor is truly exceptional.”
He understood that these Nascent Soul Cultivators attended the wedding just to make an appearance before Lu Xuan and gain favor.
For an ordinary member of the Chen family, having a Jindan Cultivator attend their wedding was already impressive. He never dared to imagine such a spectacle.
“Are you Mr. Chen Yuqiu, the former Family Head of the Chen family?”
An elder cultivator with a composed demeanor and long beard approached, speaking with utmost courtesy.
“I am indeed Chen Mou. May I know who you are, Senior?”
Chen Yuqiu probed the other with his Spiritual Sense, sensing profound mana akin to a vast ocean, and hurriedly rose to return the gesture.
“I am Shen Jingxuan. No need for such formalities, Mr. Chen. In fact, there’s quite a connection between us.”
Upon hearing these words, Chen Yuqiu became curious and, summoning the courage, asked further:
“Please enlighten me, Elder Shen.”
“The Shen family’s lineage has been with the Sword Sect for a long time. When the Chen family’s ancestor was alive, a Primordial Infant Elder from the Shen family had a great friendship with him, and the two families interacted frequently.”
“It’s just that after the Chen family’s ancestor unfortunately perished, the Chen family was hit hard and relocated away from the Sword Sect, gradually losing contact.”
Shen Jingxuan’s smile was so warm and friendly that Chen Yuqiu felt as if he were in the breeze of spring.
“I see.”
Chen Yuqiu nodded repeatedly.
“On the occasion of Qingshuang’s niece’s wedding, it’s a great opportunity to meet the descendants of the Chen family again. After the wedding, Mr. Chen, do come to my Cave Abode for a chat about the past and to strengthen our bond.”
“By the way, I heard the Chen family excels in cultivating Spirit Plants. The Shen family has a great demand for Spirit Plants, so we could collaborate for mutual benefit.”
Shen Jingxuan extended a sincere and strategic invitation.
Chen Yuqiu felt surreal. After Chen Qingshuang entered the Sword Sect, there was no movement from the Sword Sect, as if they had forgotten the Chen family’s ancestor’s glorious past.
During the Chen family’s great calamity, he sought help from the descendants of the ancestor’s old friends, only to be shut out.
Entering the Sword Sect again, he couldn’t believe the current scene.
As a Jindan Cultivator from a minor family, he was suddenly in high demand, even being approached by Nascent Soul True Monarchs for friendship.
“Thank you, Senior. After the wedding, I will certainly visit you.”
With mixed emotions but a composed appearance, Chen Yuqiu knew this was a golden opportunity for the Chen family and agreed in haste.
After Shen Jingxuan left, several others came to converse proactively.
Among them were the descendants of Chen family’s ancestors’ friends, and newly acquainted Sword Sect Cultivators, all speaking very courteously.
At that moment, countless Spirit Flowers silently bloomed in the sky above the hall, gently falling down.
Lu Xuan appeared out of thin air on a magnificent Jade Platform.
He wore glorious attire, surrounded by Treasure Light, a departure from his usual elegant style.
“Fellow Daoists, on this beautiful day, we gather here at Huanzhen Sword Peak to witness the grand event of my two disciples, Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang, becoming Daoist companions. Thank you all for coming to celebrate.”
“Haotian and Qingshuang have been together for many years, compatible in temper and spirit, and wish to become united. As their mentor, I am truly gratified.”
“The path of cultivation is long and arduous. May the two of you support each other along this long journey and mutually enlighten the great path.”
Lu Xuan sincerely blessed them.
“Thank you, Master! Our achievements today are all because of you. We are willing to serve you for all our lives.”
Li Haotian and Chen Qingshuang, tears in their eyes, knelt down and offered a cup of Spiritual Tea together.
…
“It seems a significant affair has concluded.”
After the wedding ended, Lu Xuan returned to his Cave Abode, feeling somewhat exhausted.
Hosting this wedding was more tiring than his own cultivation.
Most of the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew at the wedding was provided by him for free, with a smaller portion procured by the White Ape from the Sect.
As for the various gifts received at the wedding, he left them for his two disciples to handle personally.
