Chapter 315

It turns out they came to propose marriage; this is something unprecedented in history!

It turns out they came to propose marriage; this is something unprecedented in history!

In an instant, the crowd erupted; everyone knew that Jade Pool disliked worldly disputes, and within the holy land, female disciples predominated.

Jade Pool dislikes participating in worldly disputes, and within the holy land, female disciples are predominant.

Jade Pool prefers to cultivate in the divine land, mostly with female disciples, each pure and elegant, transcending the mundane, like fairies descending from heaven.

In the divine land, mostly with female disciples, each pure and elegant, transcending the mundane, like heavenly fairies descending to the mortal world.

Most choose to remain unmarried forever, so to wed a Jade Pool maiden is a luxury countless cultivators dream of in a lifetime.

It is a luxury countless cultivators dream of in a lifetime.

Even ordinary female disciples are like this, let alone the Jade Pool Saintess who is the foremost among disciples! (No exaggeration, the original text says so.) The Imperial Son is also the grandson of the Western Emperor; if he could become Dao partners with the Jade Pool Saintess, it would merely be a celebrated tale for generations to come!

Thus full line: 【5】 Even ordinary female disciples are like this, let alone the Jade Pool Saintess who is the foremost among disciples! (No exaggeration, the original text says so.) "The Imperial Son is also the grandson of the Western Emperor; if he could become Dao partners with the Jade Pool Saintess, it would merely be a celebrated tale for generations to come!"

But we need to ensure we don't add extra commentary. We'll keep as is.

Many felt this way; if Yang Zhu could marry the Jade Pool Saintess, they would not find it improper but rather feel their emotions surge.

This caused people's emotions to surge.

It's truly enviable.

Behind them came the Fire Qilin Child and Yan Ruyu, etc.; their beautiful eyes changed, and they too felt moved.

We need to keep "Fire Qilin Child" as Fire Qilin Child, "Yan Ruyu" as Yan Ruyu.

When I first stepped onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road, I promised you that upon my return to the Northern Dipper, I would certainly come to propose marriage.

Starry Sky Ancient Road; Northern Dipper.

Yang Zhu spoke; his voice remained calm, yet his heartbeat quickened involuntarily, making it hard to stay calm.

I said I would wait for your return.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Pool Saintess already had a crystal-clear tear slide down, wetting her veil, but she suppressed her impulse and did not step forward immediately.

A breeze lifted a strand of her black hair; the ribbons entwining her immortal form floated gracefully, like a banished immortal, every gesture exuding myriad charms.

A strand of her black hair; the ribbons entwining her immortal form; like a banished immortal; every gesture exudes myriad charms.

Now I have come to fulfill my promise; Yue'er, will you marry me?

As these words were spoken, heaven and earth fell silent; everyone held their breath, and for some reason, their spirits tensed along with it.

I will.

The Jade Pool Saintess's clear eyes were firm; without a moment's hesitation, she gently tapped her white chin, tears again wetting her gauze, revealing her true feelings.

She firmly tapped her white chin.

Immediately, she could no longer suppress her excitement, rushed forward, and tightly embraced Yang Zhu.

Waves of fragrance assailed his nose, making Yang Zhu inexplicably at ease; he lightly patted the delicate form in his arms to comfort her.

Ah… Great Emperor, can you see this? The Imperial Son has formed a Dao partnership with someone…

We need to keep the ellipsis and tone. We'll translate: "Ah… Great Emperor, can you see this? The Imperial Son has formed a Dao partnership with someone…"

Heihuang shouted from the side, his heart overwhelmed with joy; tears of old age streamed down his eyes as he cried loudly.

Heihuang

He felt excited for Yang Zhu from the bottom of his heart!

Back then, he had not been able to see Wushi and the Empress together; now he can witness the Imperial Son finally becoming Dao partners, which also fulfills a long-held wish.

A Great Emperor's essence blood is already a priceless treasure that even the Great Dao cannot bear; the Undying Heavenly Emperor's essence blood surpasses it, being more than sufficient.

Hahaha, this is a tremendous joy!

Among the crowd, Kongque Wang laughed loudly; over the years he too had broken through to the Saint realm, his strength not to be underestimated.

Kongque Wang; Saint

Great Emperor Wushi, your offspring now returns invincible from the Ancient Road and has formed a Dao affinity with the Jade Pool Saintess; will you still manifest divine traces?

Great Emperor Wushi, offspring, Ancient Road, Jade Pool Saintess, Dao affinity, manifest divine traces

Besides this, many elders shed tears; their reverence for Great Emperor Wushi is beyond ordinary imagination.

Now that we see the Imperial Son proposing marriage, how could our hearts remain calm?

Since it's a marriage proposal, betrothal gifts are naturally indispensable.

As the sound faded, Yang Zhu swept his sleeves, and a blinding divine light shone upon the heavens, impossible to gaze at directly.

It was a piece of Divine Mark Purple Gold as tall as a person, purple vapors swirling, dreamlike and illusory, etched with myriad Dao markings, innately able to stir the Great Dao.

The moment it appeared, myriad Dao stirred; faint heavenly sounds echoed, resonating with the will of order! 'Even among the Nine Great Immortal Metals, this Divine Mark Purple Gold is so huge—such a bold move is terrifying!'

We need to keep the quoted speech. We'll translate: "The moment it appeared, myriad Dao stirred; faint heavenly sounds echoed, resonating with the will of order! 'Even among the Nine Great Immortal Metals, this Divine Mark Purple Gold is so huge—such a bold move is terrifying!'"

Nine Great Immortal Metals; Divine Mark Purple Gold; such a bold move is terrifying!

People gazed at the ultimate Immortal Gold, astonished; this is Immortal Gold, the finest material for forging Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapons—many have cultivated their whole lives and never seen such a thing!

Not only are we fortunate to witness it, but this piece is so massive it practically makes eyes red with envy! 'Such Immortal treasures are hardly found even scouring the universe; they are too precious to waste…'

We need to keep the quoted speech with ellipsis. We'll translate: "Not only are we fortunate to witness it, but this piece is so massive it practically makes eyes red with envy! 'Such Immortal treasures are hardly found even scouring the universe; they are too precious to waste…'"

Many eyes burned with fervor, hearts restless, yet facing the Human Imperial Son and the Xi Huang Ta hovering above, they dared not act.

Human Imperial Son; Xi Huang Ta

Even with great courage, they would not dare to seize it.

Even the Jade Pool folk, with their resources, might not possess such a quantity of Immortal treasures.

The Imperial Son is extravagant!

The Queen Mother of the West recovered her divine bearing, without delay; after expressing gratitude, she carefully stored this Immortal material.

The Queen Mother of the West recovered her divine bearing.

Since it's a betrothal gift, it must be accepted; to refuse would be tantamount to slapping the Imperial Son's face.

However, as a treasure vase emerged, a mighty and supremely pure Ancient Emperor Formation surged, sweeping the ten directions.

Inside lies the essence blood of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

Yang Zhu's simple introduction was like a meteorite striking the ground, causing an uproar.

What… the essence blood of the Undying Heavenly Emperor? That is a Supreme Immortal Treasure; who would have thought even such heaven-defying things exist!

People had not yet recovered from the shock of the Immortal Gold, when suddenly Ancient Emperor's essence blood appeared; everyone stared wide‑eyed, unable to believe it.

Immortal Gold

Who is the Undying Heavenly Emperor? In the primordial era, all races revered him as a deity; the myriad peoples honored him, all beings submitted, his status exalted beyond imagination! 'Like such a divine existence of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, who could compel him except by taking it oneself? I never imagined such a marvel would belong to the Imperial Son.'

We need to keep the quoted speech. We'll translate: "Who is the Undying Heavenly Emperor?

A Great Emperor's essence blood is already a priceless treasure that even the Great Dao cannot bear; the Undying Heavenly Emperor's essence blood surpasses it, being more than sufficient.

This counts as a priceless Immortal treasure, incomparably precious; its value cannot be measured by anything else.

Thank you, Imperial Son, for your generous gift.

This time, Jade Pool still attached great importance, handling it with utmost care; they stored that vial of essence blood, fearing that even if Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapons suppressed it, someone might still be unable to restrain themselves.

Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapons

Hum…

Yang Zhu raised his hand; five divine waterfalls slipped from his fingers, chaotic and intertwined, murky, cleaving the void, severing time, immensely powerful and terrifying.

The next moment, a floating Divine Island tore through the void, upon which an Undying Divine Tree took root.

Rumble…

The Peach Divine Tree stood nine zhang nine tall, its lush branches like coiling Azure Dragons, its sturdy trunk resembling thick tortoise shell, bearing the marks of ages.

Peach Divine Tree; Azure Dragon; tortoise shell

A medicinal fragrance assailed the nose, almost intoxicating; the tree's crystal‑clear leaves swayed, shedding countless strands of radiant glow, an aura of peace, with immortal substance flowing within.

「……」 -> "……"

We need to keep the ellipsis as is? Probably just three dots. We'll output "……" as is.

The entire fell silent, not even a bird's chirp could be heard; everyone was so stunned by this scene they could not speak.

No matter the holy land's holy lord, or the clan's clan head, or even external powerful experts, they all stared wide-mouthed, gasped in admiration! "Immortal Medicine!"

Finally, with a loud shout spreading, the world boiled over, the Eastern Wasteland boiled over, everyone felt as if in a dream, everything seemed so unreal! Immortal Medicine, almost every ancient great emperor possessed a stalk, its divine efficacy and profundity are what even great emperors must painstakingly study!

Each stalk of immortal medicine is one‑of‑a‑kind, existing for endless ages, its value surpassing all divine materials and celestial treasures in the world.

Even thousands of stalks of the medicine king cannot be compared to a single true immortal medicine; it is as different as heaven and earth!

"This is what I brought out from the Divine Ruins; today I shall present it as a betrothal gift to Yaochi."

As Yang Zhu spoke, his gaze swept over the surroundings; he knew someone would surely face this temptation, and no matter what, even if it meant death and the disappearance of his Dao, he would not hesitate!

"Boom!"

Indeed, a human had a blood pillar shooting into the heavens, reaching ten thousand zhang in height, divine light shining brightly; his eyes blazed, he recklessly stretched out a hand to seize the immortal medicine. He was a Great Saint, though he had only just broken through, his strength in this era could place him among the pinnacle! "And dare."

Without Yang Zhu needing to act, Bai Cen gave a cold glance, raised his hand and pressed down; chaos surged in the void, a huge hand like a star descended, mighty and overwhelming, pressing down.

In an instant, that outstretched hand was shattered, yet its might did not wane, continuing to suppress anyone who dared to act.

"You are certainly not just newly entered the Great Saint realm……"

At this moment, only then did they realize how terrifying Bai Cen was.

No matter how he resisted, it was useless; with just a single move, he was shaken, coughed blood repeatedly, and his body shattered inch by inch!

"Ah……"

Immediately following a miserable scream, that Great Saint, unwilling, exploded his body and was slain on the spot!

"A Great Saint, just died like that……"

People's hearts nearly burst, they stared dumbstruck, horrified at that figure in the arena, their eyes filled with deep fear and awe.

"I know now; I once saw him on an ancient stone carving—he is the peerless demonic sovereign who had already attained Quasi‑Emperor cultivation hundreds of thousands of years ago!"

Finally, among the crowd, an outsider powerhouse with vast experience recognized Bai Cen's identity.

"He had already reached Quasi‑Emperor status hundreds of thousands of years ago, yet now he follows beside the Emperor's Son……"

As these words were spoken, the heroes present felt a chill in their bones, unable to stop trembling.

Ignoring the surrounding exclamations, Bai Cen returned to stand behind Yang Zhu, his eyes coldly surveying the crowd below.

"Emperor's Son, this……"

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West finally hesitated; the immortal medicine was too precious, a peerless rarity that could rival extreme Dao imperial weapons.

She had gritted her teeth and accepted the first two betrothal gifts, but now, no matter how much she desired it in her heart, she had to speak up and ask to decline.

Even a segment of the Divine Flat Peach's branch could be painstakingly cultivated by Yaochi for over a hundred thousand years; for the immortal medicine's main body, there's no need to say more.

"This is a betrothal gift; how could there be any reason not to accept it?"

Although the immortal medicine is indeed precious, if it is to wed Yue'er and present it to Yaochi, Yang Zhu would not hesitate, for she is worthy.

Moreover, he and Yaochi are originally one family; it's merely a matter of storing it elsewhere……

"Elder, I obey your command."

The Queen Mother of the West, dignified and generous, understanding the bigger picture, gave a slight nod, no longer refusing, and exerted her full power to activate the Xi Huang Ta.

The Xi Huang Ta trembled, shedding billions of strands of hazy green mist that wrapped the Divine Flat Peach medicine, then sent it to the deepest point, the forbidden land nearest the tower's body.

Only by placing the immortal medicine here can its safety be maximally assured.

"All matters concerning the queens, please enter, Emperor's Son, and we shall discuss them together."

After receiving all the betrothal gifts, the Queen Mother of the West respectfully invited Yang Zhu to enter Yaochi to discuss the grand wedding together.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhu nodded, no longer riding his dragon horse, but walking side by side with Yaochi's Holy Maiden into the fairyland of Yaochi.

"From now on, no force shall be able to shake Yaochi in the slightest."

The holy master of Dao One Holy Land helplessly shook his head; Yaochi's strength and foundation have always been foremost among holy lands and clans.

Yang Zhu's relationship with the West Emperor was made known to the world at the Yaochi gathering; now Yang Zhu has also taken Yaochi's Holy Maiden as his wife.

It can be said that in the endless ages to come, Yaochi Holy Land's status in Beidou will be unattainable by any power.

"Not bad, not bad!"

The Jiang family, however, smiled; looking at Jiang Yi Fei who had come along with Yang Zhu, they nodded in considerable satisfaction.

The remaining people only left after a long while; today's events were too stunning and shocking, worthy of being called a "grand feast".

"The Emperor's Son has returned, already invincible on the ancient road!"

"The Emperor's Son went to Yaochi to propose marriage……"

"The Emperor's Son's physique is too invincible, the greatest since ancient times; even the Undying Heavenly Emperor's bloodline cannot compare!"

That day, these matters spread like wings, swiftly reaching every corner of the Eastern Wasteland; people clamored, the whole world shaken.

"Too overbearing—no wonder he is the Son of the Beginningless Emperor; his foundation is so deep it's hard to fathom!"

Divine Mark Purple Gold, Ancient Emperor's Essence Blood, and immortal medicine are all supreme celestial treasures, hard to find in the world; even several immortal powers may not possess them.

Upon hearing, none could help but envy; even those holy lands and ancient clans were no exception!

The name of the Chaos Holy Fetus once again spread to every corner.

"The grand wedding will be held two months later in Yaochi; at that time, we will invite all the heroes of the world to gather!"

Half a day later, news emanated from Yaochi Holy Land; in an instant, Beidou was no longer calm, buzzing with excitement.

"Haha, Brother Yang's wedding—I naturally must go to share in the joy."

The news spread not only across the Eastern Wasteland but also stirred the Starry Ancient Road; Yin Tian De, who had left his name on the crystal tablet after passing the Emperor's Gate, that very day departed the final checkpoint and crossed Beidou.

"Come on, let's head back too!"

Ye Fan, Pang Bo and the others who were still traveling and training also did not hesitate; they began setting up the Five-Colored Altar, preparing to return to Beidou.

In a moment, the universe stirred; many people took action that very day.

Within a certain Divine Trace in the Eastern Wasteland, An Miao Yi, who was there comprehending the Dao, upon hearing this news, her face instantly turned pale, losing all color in an instant.

"Between you and me, we are ultimately without fate……"

She whispered, her voice trembling, her jade hand pressed to her chest, feeling a faint ache, almost making her suffocate.

"My brother has returned; soon we will be able to slaughter all the Golden Crows and avenge our clan!"

At this moment, the injured Tongtong, upon hearing the words, his expression lit up, and he said to Xiao Tingting over there.

You little brat, you're really sharp, damn it, you actually hid yourself here where the Daoist Sir is.

Beside him, the silhouette of the Boundless Daoist appeared, gritting his teeth, yet helpless.

As it turned out, Tongtong and the others were currently inside a Fire God Star; there was a traveling palace here, also a burial site carefully selected by Duan De.

Originally, he had buried him well, but not long ago Tongtong and the little girl from the Jiang family barged in here, and Tongtong suffered a serious injury, making it also inappropriate to drive him away.

Hehe, big brother said if there's anything, feel free to trouble the Daoist priest; no need to be polite with you.

Tongtong laughed and said, he's known the Boundless Daoist for more than a day or two; although this guy is lacking in virtue and smoky, he is absolutely loyal and righteous.

That Boundless Heavenly Venerable, though hearing him is not satisfying, he is indeed reasonable.

Having said that, Duan De fell silent, once again sinking into deep sleep, hoping to break and then establish.
