The final day of the grand lucky draw has ended...
Each sect went all out for the chance to obtain the Flute of Time and Space, as evidenced by Zheng Yu's decision to go all-in.
However, Chu Xinghe remained unfazed by the spirit stones invested by the various sects.
How many spirit stones have you invested?
Our Deputy Sect Master emptied the Grand Sky Sect's treasury yesterday... and now a super teleportation array for ten thousand people has been set up in Dark Rigid.
This super teleportation array, made entirely of top-grade spirit stones, could be used not just once for a wedding, but a dozen times over and still have some left.
But so what? Is there anything wrong with leaving a memento for Dark Rigid from our Grand Sky Sect?
Using this pinnacle teleportation array to commemorate the eternal friendship between Dark Rigid and the Grand Sky Sect, isn't that quite meaningful?
Of course, when Gu Mingchao heard that Xinghe and the Deputy Sect Master had created such a significant memento, he was dumbfounded for five minutes.
The Sect Master's first reaction was, could my senior brother really be a spy for the Demonic Sect?Damn it, you've emptied the treasury of all its top-grade spirit stones, are you trying to self-destruct, senior brother?
But upon hearing that it was Xinghe's idea and the senior brother was merely executing it, Gu Mingchao calmed down.
Ah, it's Xinghe's idea... there must be a deeper meaning...
If you say the senior brother is a spy, Gu Mingchao might doubt it, but if you say Xinghe is a spy, isn't that a bit too far-fetched?
So Xinghe must have a deeper meaning in doing this, it's just that Xinghe's thoughts are always so whimsical, it's hard to see what changes might occur for now.
Just wait and see.
Speaking of which, senior brother has recently made it onto the Demonic Sect's must-kill list, even ranking higher than himself.
Although no one knows what exactly senior brother did to the Demonic Sect, the spies report that Wu Xingyun curses senior brother Yan Shoujing in his dreams.
Gu Mingchao almost couldn't resist challenging Wu Xingyun for such shameless behavior.
My senior brother lost his memory because of your Demonic Sect back then, and now that he's finally back, with a broad mind, he doesn't intend to seek revenge, yet your Demonic Sect won't let it go?
My senior brother hasn't done anything while staying at the Grand Sky Sect, and yet you've put him on the Demonic Sect's must-kill list? Do you have any humanity?
It's one thing to say Xinghe is the number one on the Demonic Sect's must-kill list, after all, Xinghe is the nemesis of the Demonic Sect, but my senior brother hasn't done anything!
My senior brother stays in the Grand Sky Palace every day, without any acts of harm against your Demonic Sect, right?
So the Demonic Sect is truly unreasonable!
The Grand Sky Sect is festively decorated, with red carpets almost covering the entire sect, and everyone from the Sect Master to the outer disciples is dressed in bright red wedding attire.
Today, Liu Bo brought Chu Cheng's wedding attire to him, but as soon as he reached the door, he heard some rather discordant voices.
"Hmph! Just the Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid! What's there to celebrate? One day, I, Chu Cheng, will gather all the holy maidens of this world, and it will be their honor to receive my favor!"
"The most luxurious wedding in history? Hahaha... dog Xinghe is nothing. One day, when I, Chu Cheng, reach the pinnacle, it won't be because they are holy maidens that they are worthy of my attention, but only those who catch my eye can be called holy maidens!"
"Bang!" Liu Bo kicked open the door and personally led the outer sect brothers to enthusiastically help Chu Cheng change into a red... bandage!
It looked quite festive too...
Feng Fei donned an extremely luxurious wedding attire, adorned with countless rare treasures, making it exceptionally dazzling.
After paying respects to the sect elders within the Grand Sky Sect, Feng Fei mounted a Golden Scale beast radiating golden light. As the beast rose, the wedding procession set off.
Chu Xinghe, not only the chief planner of this event but also Senior Brother Feng Fei's best man, followed alongside the Golden Scale beast, entering the teleportation array.
The Deputy Sect Master personally activated the teleportation array, and a seven-colored divine light shot into the sky. Transporting over ten thousand people at once was unprecedented not only for the Grand Sky Sect but also for the entire Blazing Sun Continent.
Countless guests from various sects who came to witness the event were moved to tears.
The Grand Sky Sect is outrageously extravagant! A teleportation array for ten thousand people made entirely of top-grade spirit stones? Have you gone mad with wealth?
The light shone brilliantly, and the teleportation array, crafted by the world's greatest formation master, was exceptionally safe and reliable, landing right outside the main gate of Dark Rigid's holy city.
Yan Shoujing had previously considered setting up a formation to trap Chu Xinghe.
Transport everyone directly to the Demonic Sect?
But when this plan was shared with Wu Xingyun, Wu Xingyun was almost scared to tears.
Yan Shoujing... have you ever thought about who would really be trapped by transporting over ten thousand people to the Demonic Sect?
If you really did that, when Chu Xinghe arrives with ten thousand people, the Demonic Sect wouldn't even have time to deal with Chu Xinghe before all the righteous paths in the world rush over...
Are you trying to trap Chu Xinghe?
Or are you trying to wipe out the Demonic Sect on the Grand Sky Sect's joyous day to add to the celebration?
So Yan Shoujing had to give up...
At this moment, Dark Rigid's holy city was equally lavishly decorated, with colorful lights and banners adorning the city. Countless people from Dark Rigid gathered to send off the Holy Maiden.
Even though the people of Dark Rigid knew of the Grand Sky Sect's grand gesture, they were still stunned when they saw the procession of ten thousand people descending with seven-colored divine light.
At a glance, everyone in the wedding procession wore bright red wedding attire, each garment extremely luxurious. Dark Rigid had seen holy maidens wed before, but never such an explosive procession!
"Scatter the joy!" Chu Xinghe led the procession, waving his hand as countless disciples of the Grand Sky Sect began to scatter wedding money.
Scattering joy is a tradition on the Blazing Sun Continent, where the wedding procession scatters some money to share happiness with the spectators.
But when the Grand Sky Sect's wedding money was scattered, the scene got a bit out of control.
Goodness... usually, scattering wedding money is just a formality, done at the bride's doorstep for good luck.
But damn it, the Grand Sky Sect's procession hadn't even entered the holy city's gate and started scattering money?
And has anyone ever seen spirit stones being scattered as wedding money?
Goodness, wherever the Grand Sky Sect's procession went, countless spirit stones shimmered and flew, and the spectators went crazy, adults and children alike, frantically grabbing spirit stones.
Of course, while grabbing spirit stones, they also shouted blessings.
With such generous wedding money, wouldn't it be disrespectful not to shout auspicious words until their throats were hoarse?
The wedding procession continued forward, scattering joy as countless Dark Rigid spectators watched with their hearts pounding.
They knew the Grand Sky Sect was wealthy, but not this wealthy.
As the procession entered the holy city, countless fireworks and lights were ignited within the city, but the procession was soon blocked near the city's main gate by Dark Rigid's welcoming party.
"Zhu Bo of Dark Rigid, here to welcome the holy groom into the holy city on behalf of the Holy Mother!"
A man named Zhu Bo, dressed in Dark Rigid's traditional attire, blocked the Grand Sky Sect's procession.
Zhu Bo, with a smile, approached the Grand Sky Sect's procession, first performing Dark Rigid's etiquette, and after Chu Xinghe returned the gesture on behalf of the Grand Sky Sect, Zhu Bo spoke again.
"Today is a joyous day for Dark Rigid, but our holy maiden is not so easily wed. In Dark Rigid, there are three joyous challenges to overcome, so we ask the brothers of the Grand Sky Sect to accept this first joyous challenge!"
As Zhu Bo spoke, the people of Dark Rigid behind him dispersed.
The first joyous challenge appeared before everyone.
As the best man, Chu Xinghe naturally knew about Dark Rigid's three joyous challenges, known for their use of gu, poison, and spirit treasures.
Typically, the first challenge involves gu insects, and breaking through the gu insect barrier counts as passing the first challenge.
However, today the Grand Sky Sect is here to wed the Holy Maiden, and they are not skilled in using gu insects. So although Zhu Bo prepared a gu insect formation, to accommodate the Grand Sky Sect, he also set up tables of Dark Rigid's famous wine, Wu Hua Brew, on the other side!
Under each bowl of Wu Hua Brew was a Dark Rigid treasure, clearly a surprise prepared for the Grand Sky Sect.
The Grand Sky Sect's procession only needed to drink their way through, and once the Wu Hua Brew was finished, all the treasures would be theirs as the first joyous challenge's reward.
Ouyang Ming volunteered to drink a path of blood for Senior Brother Feng Fei.
But just as Ouyang Ming was about to move, Senior Brother Feng Fei stopped him.
It's not that he doubted Ouyang Ming's drinking ability, but with these Wu Hua Brews? It's no exaggeration to say that my Junior Brother Ouyang's family could send out three to five people today and drink their way through.
But these challenges involve the sect's reputation. We are the Grand Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world, and if we can't even pass one challenge and have to drink our way through, wouldn't that be embarrassing if word got out? So Senior Brother Feng Fei insisted we must overcome the challenge!
Hearing Senior Brother Feng Fei's words, Chu Xinghe was also moved to tears. Senior Brother Feng Fei was right, it's not just about the sect's reputation, but what does it mean when you place so many treasures under the Wu Hua Brew without a word?
We're here to wed the Holy Maiden today, not to take treasures.
So today, as Senior Brother Feng Fei said, we must go through the gu insect formation!
A mere gu insect formation trying to stop our Grand Sky Sect's procession? Senior Brother, don't worry, leave it to me, and I'll arrange it perfectly for you.
"An Lan, where are you!"
"Here!"
"Dark Moon Clan, break the formation!"
"At your command!"
An Lan led many from the Dark Moon Clan out of the procession, and to everyone's shock, they charged into the gu insect formation.
The scene almost turned chaotic in the next second. Goodness, those like An Lan who charged into the formation were feeding themselves to the gu insects!
The people of Dark Rigid were dumbfounded.
What's going on? We prepared this gu insect formation to make you retreat, to make you take the drinking route...
What do you mean by sending people to feed themselves to the gu insects?
Quick, control the gu insects, it won't be good if someone gets hurt!
But before Zhu Bo could give the order to retract the gu insects, an even more bewildering scene unfolded.
All the Dark Moon Clan members being devoured by the gu insects not only didn't scream in pain, but each one even let out joyful laughter.
With joyful laughter, various blessings came from the mouths of the Dark Moon Clan...
All the gu insects were attracted to the Dark Moon Clan, and with a wave of Chu Xinghe's hand, they continued forward!
The wedding procession continued through the first joyous challenge, leaving Zhu Bo dumbfounded. What kind of strategy is this from the Grand Sky Sect? We prepared the gu insect formation as a custom... we didn't intend for you to actually break through... sending people in like this could cost lives.
But before Zhu Bo could snap out of his daze, the Dark Moon Clan members who had been devoured shook off the gu insects and, to the disbelief of countless Dark Rigid people, returned to normal and rejoined the wedding procession...
