The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

"Little Black... Thank you so much, Master! Without your bestowal of techniques and elixirs, and your protection during my tribulation, I might not even have survived, let alone broken through. This kindness is heavier than the East Sea!"

This time, his eyes were red, and he genuinely regarded the person in front of him as his "master".

The constraint that originated from the imprint of the primordial spirit has now transformed into a willing bond.

Taibai moved slightly and appeared in front of Xiaohei, reaching out to support the other's arm and helping him up.

"Since you have entered my tutelage, it is a matter of fate. Your path is also my path."

"Get up. From now on, focus on your cultivation. As long as you remain loyal to me, I will not mistreat you."

He looked at Xiao Hei's slightly reddened eyes, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying in a relaxed tone:

"Alright, from now on, follow me, and I guarantee you'll get plenty of benefits. Let's go, the Demon Emperor's Heavenly Wedding Ceremony is imminent. This time, come with me to the Demon Court and join in the excitement of this unprecedented event in the primordial world."

The marriage ceremony was the first of its kind since the beginning of time.

Emperor Jun sent out invitations, stating that all beings in the primordial world, regardless of their origin or background, were welcome to attend the ceremony as long as they brought gifts to offer their congratulations.

This was no longer a simple wedding banquet, but a perfect stage to demonstrate the majesty of the demon race to the primordial world.

Li Bai's trip was certainly not for those fine wines, delicacies, or celestial fruits.

What he valued was this grand gathering that would inevitably bring together most of the top experts from the primordial world.

Moreover, if he wants to reverse his tragic future, he must understand these powerful beings.

Rather than shutting yourself away in seclusion, it's better to go out into the field, observe the situation, and witness the various methods employed.

In this way, he will be able to address the problem effectively and win over others in the future.

Little Blackie, standing nearby, quickly stepped closer, rubbing his hands together and whispering:

"Master, the Demon Emperor's wedding is a grand affair, inviting cultivators from the primordial world. The scale of the event will be enormous."

If our gift is too meager, it might not be appropriate, and we might even be kicked out…”

Upon hearing the sound, Taibai did not turn around, but simply tossed it behind him.

A 50,000-year-old "Spirit-Nourishing Grass" fell into Xiao Hei's hands.

"This is enough as a gesture of respect. My purpose in going is to observe the situation, not to compete for glory. The gesture is sufficient; my intention will follow."

Looking at the magic herb in his hand, Xiao Hei asked somewhat timidly:

"My lord, isn't offering this as a congratulatory gift too disrespectful to the demon court? What if it displeases the demons and they use it as an excuse to cause trouble? We're afraid..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his worry was evident in his words.

Taibai continued walking without stopping, his tone calm and even:

"Emperor Jun proclaims throughout the primordial world that all who come are guests. You and I are currently merely wandering cultivators from Mount Wuyi."

Having nothing of value is perfectly normal, what are you afraid of? Don't ask the same question twice.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei seemed to understand something, then nodded, put away the spirit herb, and quickly followed.

From the East Sea to the Demon Court, the distance is more than ten thousand miles.

Even with Taibai and Xiaohei pushing their speed to the limit, it still took them nearly a hundred years to travel the distance.

At this moment, the demon court was filled with celestial music and the sound of gongs and drums, causing the clouds to surge.

Various colored lights converged from all corners of the primordial world, transforming into figures on the white jade plaza.

Congratulations, laughter, and the melodious chirping of rare birds mingled together, and the rich spiritual energy in the air condensed into a misty haze.

As soon as Xiao Hei landed, it was captivated by the unprecedented weather.

His gaze swept blankly over the jade pillars and golden tiles that reached the sky, and the distinguished guests coming and going.

He was startled awake when Taibai gently bumped his arm.

"Don't be so ignorant, stay close to me, or you'll get lost."

Taibai gave the instructions in a low voice, a faint smile already appearing on his face, and took the lead in walking towards the jade table where congratulatory gifts were registered.

Upon reaching the table, he flicked his sleeve, and a 100,000-year-old "Nine-Leaf Purple Ginseng" and a 50,000-year-old Spirit-Nourishing Grass gently landed in front of the demon cultivator on duty.

"Xiao Bao and Cao Sheng, rogue cultivators from Wuyi Mountain, congratulate the Demon Emperor on his wedding!"

The demon cultivator in charge of registration glanced at the two spiritual herbs on the table, without even lifting his eyelids, picked up his pen and casually made a stroke on the jade book, then waved to Taibai and the other person, indicating that they had passed.

Taibai said no more, gently tugged at the sleeve of the still-dazed Xiao Hei, and followed the endless stream of people ahead into the South Heavenly Gate.

The vast celestial court was clearly divided into three areas:

At the very heart of the place is the site where the main figures of today's grand ceremony, the Demon Emperor Jun and the Goddess of the Moon, will hold their wedding.

Slightly outside, surrounding the core, is a ring of suspended jade platforms and cloud seats, spaced far apart, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Several figures were already seated comfortably on it, each exuding an aura as deep and boundless as the sea.

That place was clearly reserved for the top prehistoric beings such as the Three Pure Ones, Kunpeng, Styx, and Zhenyuanzi.

The outermost area is the vast and open Cloud Sea Plaza, with white jade bricks, a babbling spring, and countless tables and cushions.

The place was now bustling with people and incredibly lively.

Scattered immortals from all corners of the primordial world gathered here, whispering among themselves, their gazes occasionally turning to the inner circle with awe.

Moreover, not only are the areas strictly divided, but the arrangement of seats in each area is also vastly different.

On the table in the area for independent cultivators, there was nothing but ordinary spirit jade carving, and the futon was just woven from century-old warm jade grass.

Taibai and Xiaohei found a seat near the front and sat down.

"Sir... sir, are these... edible?"

Taibai had been keeping an eye on all the powerful figures, and only came to his senses after hearing Xiaohei's voice.

He looked at the table and saw that the fruits on the plate had their own unique charm, and none of them were innate spiritual fruits.

Even though he had anticipated it, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at the extraordinary skill of the Demon Court.

"Please feel free to eat. This is a gift from His Majesty the Demon Emperor, so there's no need to be polite. Besides, we have also given our congratulatory gifts."

After Taibai finished speaking, he ignored them and turned his attention back to the powerful figures.

Just then, several familiar figures came into Taibai's view.

Those were his three teachers, the Three Pure Ones.

Taibai's heart skipped a beat, and almost instinctively he quickly lowered his head, using the figures of the cultivators in front of him as cover.

"The guests are numerous and their auras are mixed. Although the three teachers are highly skilled, they should not deliberately search for me among thousands of cultivators."

Moreover, this is a highly sensitive area of ​​the Demon Court, and the teachers would not easily deploy their divine senses to investigate, lest they cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

After a quick moment of self-consolation, Taibai steadied himself and raised his head again.

However, his gaze became more cautious, and he no longer looked directly in the direction of the Three Pure Ones.

He then turned his attention to Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and other powerful figures who were a little further away.

……

Time flowed by amidst celestial music and auspicious clouds, and before they knew it, most of the guests who had come to offer their congratulations had arrived.

Just as the auspicious hour was about to arrive, boundless rays of light crashed down from the highest point of the sky.

Amidst the rosy glow, a figure of unparalleled beauty, radiating the vitality of creation, slowly descended from the heavens, stepping upon a sky full of auspicious omens.
