Chapter 630: Your Sincerity Is Truly Worthless!

As soon as the Young Master of the Li family finished speaking, the Great Hall of the Extreme Joy Sect instantly fell into a silence so profound that the drop of a needle could be heard!

All the Extreme Joy Sect disciples present wore faces full of shock, while several Void Refining Stage Elders saw their pupils contract sharply, their hands hidden within their sleeves trembling slightly!

The few of them exchanged glances, each seeing horror and thick, overwhelming ecstasy in the other's eyes!

Even that high-and-mighty Sect Master of the Extreme Joy Sect was somewhat moved at this moment!

A High-Stage Formation!

One million Top-grade Spirit Stones!

Several Dharma Artifacts!

These betrothal gifts completely exceeded the Extreme Joy Sect's imagination!

They had never expected that the Li family would value the Holy Maiden and this political marriage so highly!

After all, it was an alliance of powers; if both sides secured this marriage, it would represent a huge leap in their respective status within the Cultivation World in the future!

Therefore, as long as the Extreme Joy Sect had the slightest intention, even if the Li family casually offered several hundred thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, it would have been enough to sway them.

But now, the Li family had offered one million Top-grade Spirit Stones plus a set of High-Stage Formation, which made it difficult for everyone in the Extreme Joy Sect to maintain their solemnity.

Even Liu Jingning was currently wearing a face full of astonishment!

She knew very well the value of a High-Stage Formation; in the Cultivation World, it was an existence that had a market but no price!

The Extreme Joy Sect had spent so many years and exerted such great effort to acquire just one; now, if they added this High-Stage Formation from the Li family, activating both Grand Formations together would bring the sect's Mountain-Protecting Great Array infinitely close to a Spirit Stage Array, instantly reaching a level comparable to the other hegemonic factions in the Eastern Wasteland!

"This is too terrifying; the Li family has actually made such a grand gesture!"

"It seems that Young Master Li truly likes our Holy Maiden!"

"It's over; our Holy Maiden is getting married, and my heart is bleeding!"

"Bleed your ass! Do you actually dare to covet our Holy Maiden?"

"Uh... I wouldn't dare; the number of people in this world capable of mastering our Holy Maiden is probably few and far between!"

"Of course; our Holy Maiden's title of Demoness wasn't given for nothing; I highly doubt whether Young Master Li will be able to master her after marrying her!"

Many Extreme Joy Sect disciples began whispering and discussing among themselves.

Originally, they wouldn't have had the courage to discuss such matters openly here, but after being impacted by the High-Stage Formation, they immediately could not hold themselves back!

If even they had lost their usual caution and rationality to such an extent, needless to say, those Extreme Joy Sect Elders were now feeling restless with anticipation in their hearts!

This was a High-Stage Formation! Although its value certainly wasn't as high as that of a Holy Maiden, the key point was that they weren't exchanging the Holy Maiden for a High-Stage Formation, but rather forming a political marriage with the Li family!

After the marriage, the Holy Maiden would still remain the Extreme Joy Sect's Holy Maiden, and furthermore, they would gain the Li family as a reliable ally; no matter how one looked at it, the Extreme Joy Sect had gained a tremendous bargain!

"A High-Stage Formation? Is it that impressive? It's nothing special!"

At this moment, a discordant voice rang out in the Great Hall; it was Xu Que.

He picked at his ear with extreme solemnity, his tone full of disdain and contempt, and shook his head saying, "A single High-Stage Formation plus one million Spirit Stones, and you think you can marry my little sister? Aren't you thinking too much? My Sister Ning is beautiful and walks a wild path; how could she be married away by such trivial trash as this?"

Only then did the numerous Extreme Joy Sect disciples and Elders suddenly realize.

That's right! A High-Stage Formation; doesn't this master also have one!

When the Extreme Joy Sect members who had been outside Buried Immortal Valley returned back then, they had mentioned that this lad, in order to help Jiang Hongyan undergo her Tribulation, had directly set up a High-Stage Formation outside Buried Immortal Valley, shocking quite a few people at the time!

"Hehe!" Suddenly, that Young Master of the Li family smiled, swept his gaze toward Xu Que, and said mockingly, "I know you also have a High-Stage Formation, and you are right; a single High-Stage Formation and one million Spirit Stones indeed do not befit Saintess Liu!"

Huh? What does he mean?

The numerous Extreme Joy Sect disciples and Elders were suddenly startled; could it be that the betrothal gifts were not limited to these?

"Saintess Liu!"

At this moment, the Young Master of the Li family looked toward Liu Jingning, bowed slightly with clasped hands, exuding an elegant demeanor!

Liu Jingning frowned slightly and said indifferently, "What is it?"

Under normal circumstances, no matter how much she disliked someone, she would not display her joy or anger on her face, but today, since these people were targeting Xu Que, even though the Young Master of the Li family had done nothing wrong, she simply could not bring herself to show a good expression!

However, the Young Master of the Li family paid no attention to Liu Jingning's attitude; he remained gentle and refined, polite and elegant, with a calm smile always hanging on his face, as if he had something to rely on and feared nothing!

"I wonder if the Holy Maiden has brought along that Dharma Artifact belonging to my second uncle from back then?" he asked with a faint smile.

"It is here!" Liu Jingning spoke briefly and directly, taking out that Dharma Artifact.

It was a piece of jade stone, palm-sized and crystal clear, yet entirely blue, covered with runes carved throughout; once activated, it could unleash its power!

The Young Master of the Li family immediately curled the corners of his mouth upward, turned to face the Sect Master of the Extreme Joy Sect on the high seat, bowed with clasped hands, and said, "Sect Master Mo, this Dharma Artifact is also one of the betrothal gifts!"

"Oh?" A trace of confusion flashed across the Sect Master of the Extreme Joy Sect, and everyone present also turned their gazes toward the Young Master of the Li family.

They knew very well that this Young Master definitely had more to say, because if it were an ordinary Dharma Artifact, it would not be brought out and mentioned separately like this!

As expected, the Young Master of the Li family turned around, pointed at a huge Jade Box on the ground, and smiled slightly saying, "If this High-Stage Formation is combined with that Dharma Artifact in Saintess Liu's hand, it will be able to unleash tremendous power; moreover, adding your sect's current High-Stage Formation, the combination of the three will become a genuine Spirit Stage Array!"

"What?" Several Extreme Joy Sect Elders immediately exclaimed in shock!

Even the Sect Master of the Extreme Joy Sect's face changed instantly on the spot!

A genuine Spirit Stage Array!

Looking across the entire Eastern Wasteland, probably only the Jiang Family and the Gong Family could possess such depth of resources!

But now, this Young Master of the Li family, in order to marry Liu Jingning, had actually made such a grand gesture, intending to assist the Extreme Joy Sect in establishing a Spirit Stage Array!

This betrothal gift was truly too substantial, too terrifying!

In an instant, within the deathly silent Great Hall, only the heavy breathing sounds of the numerous Extreme Joy Sect people remained!

Even Liu Jingning, at this moment, found it difficult to remain seated, her heart filled with immense shock!

She had never expected that the Li family possessed such great depth of resources, and that they would be so generous, directly forcing her into a desperate situation!

Although she held the status of Holy Maiden, which was supreme, ultimately, she was still a person of the Extreme Joy Sect!

If it were only a High-Stage Formation, and if she did not wish to marry into the Li family, the entire Extreme Joy Sect would certainly still respect her choice.

But now it was a Spirit Stage Array; if she refused, everyone from top to bottom in the Extreme Joy Sect would be dissatisfied, because the interests involved were too great, so great that they were impossible to refuse!

"Sect Master Mo, my sincere heart toward Saintess Liu is all presented here; I implore Sect Master Mo to fulfill the marriage between myself and Saintess Liu!" The Young Master of the Li family stepped toward the center of the Great Hall, bowed deeply with clasped hands, his voice incredibly loud and full of confidence!

The Sect Master of Extreme Joy Sect immediately turned his gaze toward Liu Jingning.

He was not soliciting Liu Jingning's consent, but rather giving her an advance warning, telling her that this betrothal gift was something the Extreme Joy Sect could not refuse, indeed, could not afford to refuse!

Liu Jingning's complexion changed instantly, and she immediately looked at Xu Que.

Xu Que was lying lazily in a chair, picking his ears, his face filled with a solemn smile.

A moment later, he shook his head and laughed: "The young master of the Li family, is it? You scraped together for so long just to muster a single Spirit Stage Array, and this is what you call sincerity? Oh ho ho, then I can only say your sincerity is truly fucking worthless!"

Having spoken, he waved his large hand!

Whoosh!

Amidst a crisp sound, several streams of light shot out, suddenly hovering before Liu Jingning!

"Little sister, pick whichever of these Spirit Stage Arrays you like! Actually, never mind, just take them all; otherwise, they take up too much space on me, and they're so heavy—look, they've exhausted me completely. I'll need kisses, hugs, and to be lifted high before I can get up!"
