Chapter 314

Proposing marriage is certainly important, but the opportunity for enlightenment often comes in a fleeting moment, so it naturally cannot be delayed.

"Are these fairies? Never mind, Big Brother is cultivating, Nannan must not disturb him."

Xiao Nannan opened her eyes wide, curiously weighing the four stalks of Undying Medicine, wanting to see them up close, but in the end, she held back and stood by waiting very sensibly.

"Guai-guai is the most obedient."

Seeing this, Heihuang nodded quite satisfactorily. He loved this little one, partly because he feared the Ruthless Empress, so he treated her extremely well.

Secondly, Xiao Nannan was very well-behaved, making it hard not to feel pity and love for her.

"Bang!"

Four days later, a massive light gate appeared within the Chaos Immortal Land, and a monstrous, terrifying aura swept across all directions, peerlessly powerful! Under the gaze of the crowd, a supreme figure stepped out of the domain gate, looking like a demon god descending; the powerful aura pierced the heavens and shook the sun and moon.

He was a young man with a slender build, a face like jade, and a head of white hair draped casually, looking very free-spirited and handsome.

"Emperor's Son."

He bowed to Yang Zhu as if cupping his hands in greeting before walking over to Heihuang and the others, speaking again: "Dog Emperor, long time no see."

The person who arrived was one of the Twelve Sages, named Bai Cen, a very terrifying Demon Venerable who was a bona fide Quasi-Emperor before being suppressed into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

He was absolutely an existence that could look down upon a world, but as for why he was willing to follow Heihuang, it was naturally to follow the Emperor's Son.

As former supreme powerhouses, their vision was much further-reaching than others.

In their eyes, Yang Zhu was not only a young Supreme but also a Great Emperor about to attain the Dao!

"Truly frightening, how long has it been, and you've already recovered to the Great Saint level?!"

The big black dog exclaimed, sighing in his heart that he was indeed a supreme existence who once dominated a star field; in just a few decades, he had already recovered to this realm.

"This is thanks to the many immortal treasures bestowed by the Emperor's Son, as well as the Undying Medicine that helped with enlightenment."

If not for the miracle of the Chaos Immortal Land, recovering to one's peak would take at least a hundred years, or even hundreds to thousands of years!

Although he was a Great Saint, Bai Cen still held supreme respect for Yang Zhu; the battle at the Yaochi Grand Gathering was still like a matter of yesterday, often appearing in his mind.

And... even if he didn't want to be respectful, he couldn't; with so many Emperor Weapons, who could withstand it? In the following days, five more people arrived, while the others were mostly in seclusion and could not make it in time.

The six of them had all been Quasi-Emperors; just standing there, they could collapse the heavens, and even the void was almost shattered by a wisp of overflowing aura.

"I heard your great name long ago, but only today do I have the honor to meet you."

After experiencing the eight stalks of Undying Medicine, Jiang Yi Fei was still deeply shocked, his heart inexplicably surging.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Yang Zhu's foundation, he could tower over any Sacred Land or Desolate Ancient Family in the Eastern Wasteland.

Emperor Weapons, Undying Medicine, foundation... which force could compare? Even if they were all added together, it would be hard to reach! "..."

Regarding Jiang Yi Fei, Bai Cen and the other Demon Venerables only glanced at him and ignored him, instead staring at Xiao Nannan with interest.

"Could this be that Divine Infant from Ziwei? Could it really be comparable to a stalk of Undying Divine Medicine?"

They were all people who had seen the world and saw Nannan's extraordinariness at a glance; one of them had even seen her portrait in Ziwei.

"Big Doggy, are they bad people? Are they here to catch Nannan..."

Hearing the words "Divine Infant," Xiao Nannan seemed to recall some bad memories; a trace of panic appeared on her small face, and she clutched the big black dog's fur tightly.

"Guai-guai, don't be afraid, they are all by Big Brother's side, I guarantee they won't hurt you."

Heihuang hurriedly comforted her, then briefly explained the situation to Bai Cen and the others.

"So that's how it is; since it's someone the Emperor's Son wants to protect, it is also our duty."

One of the Demon Venerables named Shang Cang spoke; his true form was an ancient fierce spirit, an existence comparable to the True Dragon bloodline.

Yang Zhu was simultaneously contemplating the special features of the eight stalks of Undying Medicine, seeking to explore the mysteries of immortality, while also comprehending his own Dao and creating his own methods.

"Time River, appear!"

With a soft shout, a River of Time emerged before him, flowing with the aura of years and containing endless vicissitudes.

It was gathered from countless light particles, each one like a small world, gorgeous and dazzling, shining brilliantly.

"When facing the River of Time, ancient history is the future, and the present world we are in might also be ancient history..."

Nine days later, Yang Zhu slowly opened his eyes. In these few short days, he had gained significant insights, and his understanding of the Dao of Time had become increasingly terrifying.

When the others heard this, they felt this perspective was too terrifying; could it be that the era they were in had already become the past?

But Bai Cen and the others, having been Quasi-Emperors, had an understanding of the Dao far exceeding ordinary people, and they all fell into deep thought.

"Let's go, to Yaochi."

The Immortal Phoenix, True Dragon, and others all returned into Yang Zhu's body, and then Yang Zhu took the Flat Peach Divine Tree into the Chaos Pool to be used as one of the betrothal gifts.

Yaochi Sacred Land is located in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, situated in an immortal land, ethereal in the world.

This place has beautiful mountains and scenery, thin mist like smoke, and divine beasts often appear among the auspicious clouds; they are all rare, wondrous species, extremely miraculous.

Everywhere here is divine soil, spiritual energy steams, ethereal white mist curls around the mountain peaks, and at the foot of the mountains, streams murmur, with ancient trees accompanied by old vines, making it very quiet.

Deep in the Yaochi Immortal Land, on a floating divine island, the Yaochi Holy Mother, Yaoguang Saint Master, Dao Yi Saint Master, Ji Family Head, Jiang Family Head, and others gathered here.

Even some people from major forces outside the domain were present.

Without exception, they were all power-holders of Immortal Sacred Lands and inheritances, with prominent status and respected by others.

It turned out that half a month ago, someone discovered a large tomb in an oasis, suspected to be left behind by an Ancient Great Emperor, which immediately led to competition from all sides, remaining deadlocked for a long time.

Who wouldn't want to obtain the divine treasury inside? Even forces and powerhouses from outside the domain intervened.

Finally, people proposed to go to the reputable and imposing Yaochi Sacred Land to negotiate and make the most reasonable strategy for how to open the ancient tomb.

"This was left behind by an Ancient Great Emperor of Beidou; forces from outside the domain have no right to touch it."

The Dayan Saint Master was very aggressive and had always opposed letting outside forces divide the divine treasury.

"Ruins have emerged in our Gouchen Ancient Star, and it's not like outside cultivators didn't participate in the competition; Fellow Daoist, your words are unreasonable."

A Sect Leader from the Gouchen Ancient Star Domain shook his head; talk of treasure ruins rarely emphasizes "origins," as it has always been for those who are capable.

In short, both sides held their own views, neither willing to retreat a single step, confronting each other.

"Queen Mother!"

Just then, an Elder of Yaochi rushed in from outside the gate, looking excited, as if some major event had occurred.

"What is the matter?"

The Yaochi Holy Mother had her hair coiled high, adorned with nine phoenix feathers, with mist and clouds falling, looking very dignified, holy, beautiful, and outstanding, with a thousand manners.

She showed no signs of aging; her skin was as crystalline as mutton-fat jade, and compared to contemporary beauties, she was not inferior. Besides that, her temperament was steady and refined, very powerful, yet she did not make people feel oppressed; instead, she warmed the soul, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"The Emperor's Son has returned, he is right outside the palace!"

The Elder spoke with an excited expression.

"What!"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West stood up immediately. After being slightly dazed, her expression was inexplicably surprised, and she ordered: "Go invite Yue'er and the Elders to follow me in welcoming the Emperor's Son!"

Yang Zhu had been gone for more than ten years since stepping onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road, having already fought across the ancient road and killed until no one dared to claim supremacy; he was the bona fide number one person under the starry sky! Now that Yang Zhu had returned to Beidou and arrived at the Yaochi Sacred Land, facing the Wushi Emperor's Son and the Western Emperor's Grandson, he naturally had to be received with the highest protocol.

"Yes!"

The Elder hurried out, and before long, the sacred bells in Yaochi rang nine times, spreading to every corner of Yaochi.

"Who has arrived to make the sacred bells ring nine times? Even when a Great Saint visited in the past, it only rang three times."

The people of Yaochi heard the bell and were all incredulous; for how many years had the sacred bells not rung like this?

Regardless of Great Saints, even if the head of a Desolate Ancient Family arrived, it only rang once.

In a quiet place in Yaochi, orchids, green bamboo, waterfalls, and flowing water were everywhere, all beautiful scenery, like a fairyland.

Here, several beautiful figures were gathering: the Yaochi Saintess, Huo Lin'er, the Yaoguang Saintess, Yi Qingwu, Yan Ruyu, and others, all peerless beauties.

"It's been months, Yaochi Sister, you are becoming more and more holy and moving; it really makes us feel ashamed."

Huo Lin'er drank a cup of fine wine, calling her "Yaochi Sister" in every sentence, sounding very intimate.

"You Fellow Daoists are all peerless beauties, each with your own merits; who is weaker than another?"

The Yaochi Saintess was like a banished immortal; her skin was like jade, and her whole body was surrounded by mist, making it impossible to see her true face, which was covered by a light veil.

The mist was ethereal, the veil swayed lightly, and there was a special hazy beauty, accompanied by bursts of fragrance, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Sigh, Yaochi Sister being able to get a Dao partner like the Chaos Sacred Fetus is what makes us envious."

Yao Xi pouted her pretty cheeks, her eyes shining with brilliance, quite envious.

Hearing this, the Yaochi Saintess's bright eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but have a smile at the corner of her mouth, raising her jade cup to drink.

"Saintess, the Emperor's Son has returned and is waiting for you outside Yaochi!"

Suddenly, a graceful Yaochi disciple walked in quickly to report.

"He... he has returned..."

Hearing this, the Yaochi Saintess's immortal body trembled, her beautiful eyes shrank, and even the fine wine that had just reached her lips fell uncontrollably, shattering with a "bang."

Without another word, she immediately set off, leaving the place at the fastest speed to rush outside Yaochi.

"Let's go take a look."

Huo Lin'er and the others were also startled and quickly followed behind.

Outside Yaochi, Yang Zhu sat on a Longma, brilliant and peerless, like a young Supreme; just standing there, he had the spirit to look down upon the nine heavens and ten earths.

Beside him, the big black dog followed closely, and Xiao Nannan stood obediently beside the big black dog, curiously looking at the scenery in front. Behind Yang Zhu were six other figures, all with extraordinary bearing, yet they did not show their strength, making it hard to tell how powerful they were.

This time, Yang Zhu did not enter Yaochi directly; he was here to propose marriage, so he naturally had to follow the process.

Since they were to become a couple for a lifetime, it had to be done openly and grandly, so that the world would know and heaven and earth would celebrate together! "Who is this person, to be so brilliant? Even the attendants beside him are incredible existences..."

Yang Zhu's appearance naturally attracted attention from all sides, and many visitors from outside the domain who had not seen him before were curious.

"Isn't this... the Sacred Body Dao Fetus? I didn't expect him to return after being invincible on the Starry Sky Ancient Road!"

"What Sacred Body Dao Fetus, he should be called the Chaos Sacred Fetus."

Some cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland recognized Yang Zhu, which immediately led to a burst of exclamations; many people's expressions were impassioned and their hearts surged! As the Emperor's Son, Yang Zhu swept away everything after stepping onto the ancient road, killing until no heavenly pride in the universe dared to challenge him; he was invincible in the world and did not disgrace the words "Emperor's Son"! And for them, who were also born in Beidou, this was undoubtedly a source of pride, hard to suppress, fully displaying the might of Beidou and the foundation of the Human Race! "Why is the Emperor's Son waiting outside Yaochi instead of entering directly?"

The world was curious, as everyone knew Yang Zhu's status was noble and unparalleled; even the Queen Mother of the West would have to bow down upon seeing him.

Yet now he was quietly waiting outside Yaochi, which made people curious.

"The Queen Mother of the West greets the Emperor's Son!"

The Yaochi Holy Mother arrived quickly with a group of Elders, then bowed together, without any airs, respectfully welcoming Yang Zhu's arrival.

"Rise."

Yang Zhu was very polite; after all, Yaochi and he were "one family," and he naturally felt an inexplicable closeness to this place.

"The Emperor's Son has returned invincible from the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and this old woman failed to welcome you from afar; I hope the Emperor's Son will forgive me."

The Queen Mother of the West was dignified and spoke respectfully.

"I came here on my own initiative, it has nothing to do with you; this time, I have come to propose marriage."

Yang Zhu spoke, his voice carried by divine power, spreading to all directions, and his emotions entered everyone's minds.

"What... propose marriage..."

Even someone as dignified as the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but lose her composure upon hearing these two words; her expression was both surprised and happy, and two lines of tears fell inadvertently.

The Yaochi Saintess was someone she had watched grow up, and being favored by Yang Zhu was a great blessing for her.

"With your status, a single word would be a blessing for the entire Yaochi; why go to such lengths? Wouldn't this be shaming this old woman?"

Now that Yang Zhu had come to propose marriage, fulfilling the promise of that year, for her and for Yaochi, it was like a heavenly grace, too much to bear!

(I won't explain too much; judge the weight of the Emperor's Son and the Emperor's Grandson yourself.) "The Emperor's Son's status is noble, so the proper etiquette is naturally indispensable."

Heihuang echoed from the side and spoke.

"Swish, swish..."

Immortal energy permeated, crystalline petals danced, and a peerless beauty was brought over, embraced by the petals.

Hazy mist surrounded the Yaochi Saintess; she walked with lotuses blooming at every step, and where her jade feet landed, petals danced, each one delicate and dripping, beautiful beyond compare.

"You finally came..."

The Yaochi Saintess stood in the void, her true face obscured by mist, making it unclear, but at this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and her immortal body was trembling slightly.

She had naturally heard Yang Zhu's words just now; at this moment, her heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating, and she was excited beyond measure.

She had waited for this moment for a full few decades!

Everyone, I am indeed not good at this aspect, and maybe I didn't write it very well, but I really tried my best...
