Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 52: Heavenly Marriage (Please Collect)
"Thirty-six Heavens!" Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a little shocked by the thirty-six heavens mentioned by Li Xuanyang.

"The Heaven is located on the top of Mount Buzhou. We need to pass through the void to reach it. We should hurry up and take a look at what this demon clan's Heaven is like!" Just by looking at the scene before him, it was not difficult for Li Xuanyang to see that Di Jun and Tai Ding must have put in a lot of hard work.

It can be seen that the demon race has accumulated wealth for hundreds of millions of years and has a rich and extraordinary background.

Hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Zhen Yuanzi nodded, and the two of them each rode auspicious clouds through the void and arrived outside the South Heaven Gate.

From a distance, one can see a thousand-foot-high archway made entirely of white jade standing in the void, with three large characters written in the innate divine script: "Nantianmen"

"It really is worthy of being the place of heaven. Just the South Gate of Heaven has such an extraordinary atmosphere." Li Xuanyang couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise. No matter how he imagined it, it could not compare with the scene before him.

This Heavenly Palace is worthy of being the place that controls the operation of the three realms. It gathers the spirit of heaven and earth and gathers the splendor of heaven and earth.

At this time, outside the South Heaven Gate, rows of demon soldiers and generals stood on both sides, and there were also demon gods welcoming the guests. When they saw Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi descending the auspicious clouds, a demon god immediately came up to greet them.

"Greetings to the two Immortals. Please come in. There will be palace maids and fairies to receive you both!"

"Huh!" However, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but let out a light exclamation, and saw that the demon soldiers and generals standing on both sides of the South Heaven Gate not only did not have the slightest demonic aura around them, but instead faintly revealed a hint of the brilliance of the stars in the sky.

Li Xuanyang's heart moved. Could it be that the essence of the stars in the sky washed away the evil spirit?
The thirty-six heavens in the heavenly palace are close to a group of celestial stars. The essence of the celestial stars falls every moment, which can cleanse the demonic aura of the demon clan.

At that moment, Li Xuanyang and the other person entered the South Heaven Gate and truly arrived at the Heavenly Palace. Looking around, they saw a completely different scene.

It’s like arriving in another world.

"What a great place, the Thirty-Six Heavens! I'm afraid it's even better than Fellow Daoist Hongyun's Fire Cloud Cave." Seeing the Thirty-Six Heavens deep in the Heaven, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but stare. Compared with the Fire Cloud Cave, Wanshou Mountain and other blessed places, the Heaven can be regarded as a real blessed place.

In fact, to be more precise, the thirty-six heavens of heaven have already exceeded the scope of the paradise, and can be regarded as a real world of its own, which can be called the heaven.

"Bai Ze, greetings to Master Xuan Yang and Master Zhen Yuan Zi. Please come to the Lingxiao Palace!" When Bai Ze learned that Li Xuan Yang and Zhen Yuan Zi were coming, he came to greet them personally as a guide, fearing that he would be negligent in the slightest.

"Then I'll have to trouble Demon Saint Bai Ze!" Li Xuanyang nodded with a smile, exchanged a few polite words, and then walked towards the Lingxiao Palace, attracting the attention of many guests along the way.

Some cultivators had never met Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi before, so they asked curiously, "How impressive of these two Taoists to have Bai Ze, one of the Ten Great Demon Saints, personally receive them!"

Someone recognized Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi and quickly reminded them, "This is Xuanyang Zhenren from the Wanmiao Cave Heaven on Xuanyang Mountain in the East China Sea, and Zhen Yuanzi from the Wuzhuang Temple on Wanshou Mountain. Both are powerful masters who have reached the state of enlightenment."

"Could it be the Taoist Xuanyang who fought with Donghuang Taiyi last time?" After saying this, he felt the demon general beside him staring at him fiercely. He was so scared that his whole body trembled and he quickly apologized.

Li Xuanyang and the other person admired the scenery in the Heavenly Palace along the way. There were thousands of golden lights rolling in the red clouds, and thousands of auspicious auras emitting purple mist. On both sides were soldiers of the demon clan, each of them wearing a helmet and armor, holding a spear and a whip, holding a knife and a sword. The bright clouds dimmed the sky, and the green mist covered the mouth of the battle.

There are also thirty-six heavenly palaces, namely the Sun Palace, the Moon Palace, the Huale Palace, and the Wuming Palace. The ridges of each palace are decorated with golden beasts. There are also seventy-two treasure halls, including the Chaohui Hall, the Lingxu Hall, the Baoguang Hall, the Tianwang Hall, the Linggong Hall, etc., and each hall has jade unicorns on its pillars.

These palaces were distributed in an orderly manner. It was not difficult for Li Xuanyang to see that they were arranged according to the number of the celestial sphere, which corresponded to 365 stars. They could draw down boundless starlight and transform each palace into a holy place for cultivation.

"The Great Zhoutian Star Array!" Li Xuanyang immediately thought of the Great Zhoutian Star Array.

However, Li Xuanyang only knew a little about the Zhoutian Star Array, which he learned from Fuxi, and had never seen the true appearance of this array.

But just from the layout of the palace in front of us, we can tell that when Di Jun and Tai Yi refine 365 star banners and gather 365 Daluo Jinxians, they will truly establish the Zhoutian Star Array above the Heavenly Palace, which will surely be extremely astonishing.

Li Xuanyang was not just guessing out of thin air. From what he could see now, Di Jun and Tai Yi used the palace as a base to draw down endless starlight, which was already the foundation of the Zhoutian Star Array.

By then, the Hunyuan Heluo formation will be protecting the Heavenly Palace, and the Zhoutian Star formation will be used outside to conquer the creatures and cultivators of all races in the ancient world, and the demon clan will be as strong as a rock.

This kind of grand layout is far beyond the imagination of ordinary powerful people.

Soon, under Bai Ze's guidance, Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi stopped in front of a large hall and said, "Two Immortals, this is the Lingxiao Palace. Please come in and rest!"

Li Xuanyang and the other two nodded and walked into the hall. They saw that the interior was vast and boundless, with a grand aura. Countless fairy airs were lingering in the clouds and mists, and colorful rays of light were circling above the palace, emitting a thousand-foot-high brilliance.

There are rows of tables on both sides, on which are placed various spiritual fruits and drinks. Guests coming and going sit among them, tasting the spiritual fruits or chatting and laughing, making it very lively.

In the center of the hall, there are groups of palace maids and fairies, dancing gracefully, with white orchid flowers adorning their light silk fans, and jade belts dancing around their slender waists. Their smiles are brighter than the stars. They are all stunning beauties selected from among the demon clan from thousands of miles away.

It's so dazzling and eye-catching.

"Di Jun and Tai Yi really know how to win people's hearts." Li Xuanyang guessed what Di Jun and Tai Yi were thinking after just one glance. They just wanted to take the opportunity to show off the power of the Heavenly Court, win over a group of cultivators, and strengthen the power of the demon clan.

"It's just that the benefits from the demon clan's heaven are not so easy to get." After saying this, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but laugh at himself. He didn't take any benefits from Di Jun, and he even went to the Taiyin star to act as a matchmaker.

At this time, Emperor Jun, who was in the main hall, saw Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi walk in and immediately stepped forward to greet them warmly, "You two fellow Taoists are finally here. Emperor Jun has been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat!"

Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi were somewhat flattered and not used to it.

"Xuan Yang and Zhen Yuanzi greet you, fellow Daoist. Congratulations on your wedding!" Li Xuan Yang and the other two bowed in unison and praised, which only made the joy on Di Jun's face grow more and more intense.

"Today, Emperor Jun's wedding is entirely thanks to your help. Please accept my greetings!" Di Jun finished, then bowed to Li Xuanyang in gratitude. "How could you be so? We are fellow Daoists from the Purple Cloud Palace. We absolutely cannot accept such a gift!" Li Xuanyang stepped aside, unwilling to accept Di Jun's gift.

Seeing this, Di Jun did not force it. He personally invited Li Xuanyang and the other two to sit down at the table. Then he said goodbye and went to greet the other guests.

Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi sat down at the table together, and then a palace maid came over with a jade tray and placed spiritual fruits and drinks on it.

Among them was a spiritual fruit, which looked very strange. It was about the size of a baby's fist, round all over, and sparkled with starlight, looking like the stars in the sky.

"What a strange spiritual fruit! It doesn't seem to be produced by spiritual roots!" Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed softly. He felt that the spiritual fruit on the table seemed very strange. He couldn't help but look up at Li Xuanyang and asked, "Daoyou, do you know the origin of this spiritual fruit?"

"It's indeed a bit strange." Li Xuanyang picked up a spiritual fruit and took a quick look at it. "It seems to be a star spiritual fruit!"

"But by constantly watering the spiritual roots with the power of the stars in the sky, the fruit can contain a trace of star power and become a star spiritual fruit?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.

"That's not true." Li Xuanyang shook his head and said, "It's said that when Emperor Jun and Taiyi discovered the Heavenly Palace, they found a spiritual root in the Thirty-Six Heavens that was nurtured by the stars in the celestial sphere. It's called the Star Fruit Tree. It can absorb and release star power to produce spiritual fruit. It can produce 365 fruits at a time, which exactly corresponds to the number of stars in the celestial sphere."

Although this star fruit tree is not one of the ten innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric times, it is a very rare spiritual root and is extremely valuable.

The star spirit fruits produced on it can not only improve the cultivation of Taoism and cleanse the demonic spirit, but also condense the body of stars and cultivate star magical powers.

"It turns out to be the Star Fruit Tree!" Zhen Yuanzi's eyes showed surprise, and it was obviously the first time he heard the name of the Star Fruit Tree.

After a while, Sanqing, Hongyun and Chunyang Taoist came in one after another.

Several of them were fellow friends who had not seen each other for many years. When they met in Heaven this time, they naturally exchanged a few pleasantries for a while before taking their seats.

"I thought I could arrive first, but I didn't expect that you two fellow Taoists had already been here for a long time, but you wanted to watch the palace maids and fairies in the heavenly palace dance!" Hongyun picked up a spiritual fruit and teased Li Xuanyang and Zhen Yuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun is wrong. How can the singing and dancing spiritual fruit be as lively and interesting as the one in Heaven?"

Taoist Shangqing glanced at the guests in the hall and said with emotion, "This time, Emperor Jun and Taiyi have invited so many guests that they've invited almost every great master in the prehistoric world. I'm sure all the famous ones have received invitations, and there are many fellow Taoists that I don't even know."

"Junior brother, please be careful with your words!" Taoist Yuqing shook his head at Shangqing, reminding him not to talk too much here.

Hearing the words of the Shangqing Taoist at this time, Li Xuanyang subconsciously looked around the hall, and suddenly looked sideways at a Taoist, as if he faintly sensed a trace of mysterious Yin energy.

"This fellow Taoist seems to be proficient in Xuanyin vaginal method!" Li Xuanyang said with surprise.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, have you forgotten? I once mentioned this person to you." Taoist Taiqing looked at Li Xuanyang with a smile, and his heart was moved. He suddenly remembered the name of Xuanyin Daoist. "But it's the Xuanyin Daoist that you once mentioned!"

"It is this Xuanyin Daoist." Taoist Taiqing introduced, "This Xuanyin Daoist possesses extraordinary Xuanyin Dao techniques, but has been cultivating in the far north, so he is not well-known in the prehistoric world."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyang praised, "This is what our generation should be like, focusing on pure cultivation and not caring about external affairs!"

If the current occasion was not wrong, he really wanted to get to know this person and see for himself the difference between the Xuanyin Dharma and his own Xuanyang Sutra.

As the auspicious time arrived, a cloud of auspiciousness slowly descended from the South Gate of Heaven, on which stood two female fairies. The leading female fairy wore a crown, a golden palace dress, and held a laurel branch in her hand. She looked cool and elegant, with a stunning appearance. She was none other than Xihe on the moon.

The other female fairy is Nuwa, one of the great saints of the demon clan. She is also wearing a long palace dress and is also stunningly beautiful.

Behind the two of them followed teams of palace maids and fairies, all of whom were dressed in gorgeous clothes, very exquisitely dressed, with pretty faces. From time to time, they scattered flower petals and played fairy music.

When Xihe and his party arrived at the South Heaven Gate, Taiyi, along with the Ten Great Demon Saints and a group of demon saints and demon gods, had been waiting for a long time. They welcomed Xihe and others to the gate of the Lingxiao Palace to meet up with Di Jun.

Nuwa and Taiyi immediately presided over the celestial wedding and shouted, "The wedding of the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Heaven is a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth!"

For a moment, Di Jun and Xihe held hands, stood in front of the gate of Lingxiao Palace, and began to worship heaven and earth.

The next moment, a thunder suddenly sounded above the void, and there was a dazzling glow of light, bursts of celestial music, and countless meritorious and mysterious auras emerged.

This is the response of Heaven. This action has fulfilled the purpose of Heaven, so Heaven has specially sent down the aura of profound merit as a reward.

About seventy percent of the Xuanhuang Qi fell on Di Jun and Xihe, the remaining twenty percent fell on Li Xuanyang, Fuxi and Nuwa, and the last ten percent fell on the guests present.

All the guests present were surprised and delighted. The wedding of Emperor Jun and Xihe was actually announced by the Heavenly Dao. Doesn't it mean that this was a fate sent by heaven?

However, after the worship was over, Di Jun, Xihe, Taiyi and others did not return to the hall immediately, but took the opportunity to enthrone a group of demon saints and gods.

Among them, the ten great demon saints, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, Fei Lian, Jiuying, Shang Yang, Bai Ze, Qin Yuan, Chi Tie and Gui Che, each command a group of demon soldiers and generals to guard one side. Below them are 365 demon gods and a group of demon kings, each occupying the blessed land of Lingshan, and controlling the demon tribes in the prehistoric world.

This caused the luck of all the demon races to converge in one place, and the luck of the demon heaven soared.

Seeing such a scene, all the guests in the hall were shocked. It seemed that the demon clan's fate in heaven was set.
