Chapter 53: The Emperor’s Wedding, Hongyun Settles Karma

“Disperse!”

Cang Xuan shouted softly, and the four phases of Kaitian disappeared in an instant, and Hong Yun’s figure appeared.

At this moment, the Nine-Nine Red Cloud Soul-Dispersing Gourd was suspended in front of Hongyun’s chest. The thousand years of time were like a baptism, cleansing away the tyrannical aura around him.

“Little friend, you are finally here!”

Taoist Hongyun slowly stood up, bowed, and expressed his gratitude beyond words.

Not only did Cang Xuan rescue him when his life was at stake, he also helped him to concentrate on enlightenment during this long thousand years.

In Hongyun’s heart, Cangxuan’s kindness is of great weight, and even if he spends his whole life on it, it would probably be difficult to repay even a fraction of it.

“It seems that you have already understood something!”
Xuan said slowly with a gentle smile on his face.

Hong Yun’s face was filled with emotion. He sighed and said, “If it weren’t for my friend’s help, how could I have come to this realization?”

“The man is innocent, but he is guilty of hiding the wall.”

“Although I am fortunate enough to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, my luck is not good and I still find it difficult to refine it.”

“Perhaps this has something to do with the karma I have accumulated in the past.”

“But now, this Hongmeng Purple Qi is not only not a help to me, but has become a heavy burden instead.”

After saying that, Hong Yun opened his hands and let out a long breath, as if all at once the heavy burden that had been weighing on his heart was lifted off his shoulders.

The primordial purple energy floated out from his soul and hovered quietly in the air.

“You are so polite. What I did was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. No need to thank me.”

Cang Xuan said earnestly, “Besides, Zhen Yuanzi is repaying my favor for you in his own way.”

The Hongmeng Purple Qi, which is the cornerstone for achieving sainthood, is now hanging in front of Cang Xuan.

However, there was no trace of greed in his eyes.

Perhaps, if the system did not exist, he might choose to embark on the path of becoming a Heavenly Saint.

But at this moment, he has made a completely different choice.

“My friend, I am willing to let you control this Hongmeng Purple Qi.”

Hong Yun said without hesitation, determined to give this supreme opportunity to Cang Xuan.

“This is not appropriate.”

Cang Xuan gently waved his hand, shook his head and said, “Hongmeng Purple Qi is a gift from heaven. I really don’t have such a blessing.”

“If you really don’t want to own it, you might as well return it to the heavens.”

“Or, using it to make friends with other powerful people in the prehistoric world would also be a good idea.”

The Hongmeng purple energy is indeed extremely precious, but for Cang Xuan at the moment, it can no longer cause the slightest ripple in his heart.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

A peerless treasure like Hongmeng Purple Qi is not something that everyone can control.

If one does not have sufficient luck and merit to support it, forcibly claiming it as one’s own will only lead to the backlash of heaven.

In the end, there will inevitably be a tragic ending.

“Thank you for your guidance, I now know what to do.”

Hong Yun put away the Hongmeng Purple Qi and said with an extremely firm look, “From now on, I am willing to follow you, my friend, even if it means going through fire and water.”

“If you have any instructions, just ask.”

After saying that, Hongyun said goodbye to Cangxuan, then rode on the auspicious cloud and rushed straight towards the Wuzhuang Temple.

Cang Xuan also returned to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, quietly waiting for the appearance of his destined person.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the wedding arrived.

The thirty-third heaven was decorated with lights and colors everywhere, creating an atmosphere of joy and happiness.

In the Lingxiao Palace, many powerful people gathered to celebrate this grand event together.

“Congratulations to Daoist Fellow Di Jun on his happy marriage. My two brothers and I have come specially to toast and congratulate you!”

The Saint Jie Yin and the Saint Zhunti strode in side by side, followed by dozens of Western religious disciples.

Taking the opportunity to eat and drink for free, and accumulate some foundation for the sect.

After all, resources in the Western Continent are scarce, so every bit saved counts. “Thank you, two saints. We, the Demon Court, are honored to have you witness my heavenly marriage with the Empress!”

Di Jun hurriedly returned the gift, then raised his cup and drank it all.

Thinking back to the beginning, he looked down on Zhunti and Jie Yin. Who could have expected that they could actually join the ranks of the saints of the Heavenly Dao?
The world is so unpredictable!
“Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived!”

Demon King Fuxi reminded.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jun immediately became energetic, and quickly tidied up his clothes, ready to welcome the bride.

In an instant, the sky trembled, and the auspicious scene of dragon and phoenix appeared clearly before everyone’s eyes.

Countless fairies surrounded the phoenix chariot as it slowly descended, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace.

As Di Jun and Xihe held hands tightly and stepped onto the platform, the entire hall was filled with the scent of happiness.

The loving gesture of the two made everyone present deeply feel the strong love.

Holding a red hydrangea, the goddess Nuwa walked forward with a dignified posture and graceful steps.

After receiving the nod of approval from the newlyweds, she looked up at the sky and announced loudly in a loud and solemn voice:

“God bless you. Today, the Emperor Dijun and Empress Xihe are happily married and together they will write a new chapter in their lives.”

“This is the first wedding in the prehistoric world, a grand ceremony of heavenly marriage, please let the heavens bear witness!”

After saying this, Nuwa raised the red hydrangea high above her head.

For a moment, her voice echoed throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Smallpox fell from the ceiling, golden lotus emerged from the ground, and purple air rolled in from the east, stretching for billions of miles.

The ancient stars are twinkling and shining, as if offering the most sincere blessings to the newlyweds.

In the void, red-gold light shines everywhere, and the merits of the heavenly way gather continuously.

Amid the expectant gazes of the crowd, the voice of Heaven rang out in the darkness, expressing its approval of this heavenly marriage.

Immediately afterwards, the merits of Heavenly Dao fell like dense raindrops, bestowed upon Emperor Jun, Xihe, Nuwa and the people in the Demon Court.

“Congratulations to the Emperor of Heaven, Congratulations to the Empress!”

Everyone in the Demon Court shouted in unison, their voices were like thunder, shaking the sky.

All the great powers in the ancient times showed expressions of emotion and envy, especially the saints Zhunti and Jie Yin.

The envy in their eyes was almost overflowing.

At this moment, they were full of regret, secretly wondering why they didn’t find another way and embark on this path of heavenly marriage?
At this moment, a clear voice sounded without any warning: “I congratulate fellow Taoists Dijun and Xihe on their happy marriage!”

When everyone heard the voice, they looked and saw Hong Yun walking towards them in a graceful and elegant manner, and stepping into the Lingxiao Palace with a calm and indifferent expression.

“Hongyun, how dare you walk into this trap?”

Kunpeng’s eyes were wide open and he was so aggressive that he was about to use his magic power to take down Hongyun.

“Wait a minute!”

Demon King Fuxi calmly stopped him, “Today is the day of great joy for the Emperor of Heaven, no bloodshed can be allowed.”

“The fact that Taoist Hongyun can come to congratulate us demonstrates the high prestige of the Emperor of Heaven in the prehistoric world. We should welcome him with courtesy.”

Fuxi’s words not only successfully stopped the impulsive Kunpeng, but also cleverly complimented Di Jun, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

“What Fellow Taoist Fuxi said is absolutely true.”

Hongyun walked calmly to a jade table and sat down, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

“I came here not to seek revenge or cause trouble, but to settle a cause and effect.”

Although Hong Yun came alone, his powerful aura made no one dare to underestimate him.

Everyone was full of curiosity, speculating on the real purpose of his trip.

Di Jun said in a deep voice: “Fellow Daoist Hongyun, it was not my intention to pursue you relentlessly, but the Hongmeng Purple Qi was really a waste of heaven’s gift in your hands.”

“My Demon Court is where it truly belongs.”

Di Jun’s words were full of arrogance, but no one present dared to refute him.

Taoist Hongyun smiled softly and turned to look at the side. “Daoyou Dijun, even if you talk a lot, you can’t change the established facts.”
