Chapter 478: Chapter 466: Bearing the Demeanor of an Immortal King
Achievements, fame, marriage, and children.
The things a man seeks in life are no more than these: a happy family and a successful career, achieving what is considered the peak of life.
Although mundane, isn’t it the mundane things that everyone pursues?
Wang Xuan pointed, and the fiery red bridal gown floated in mid-air as he carefully examined it, nodding, "There are quite a few intricacies within, such a beautiful and precious bridal dress, exchanging it for a few life planets would be an easy affair.
Today is our grand wedding, and as your husband, I’ll personally dress you."
This festive day holds great commemorative significance; the ceremony itself is to honor it solemnly.
Though Lin Cheng had long shared a bed with Wang Xuan, she still felt like a young girl in love, hearing her own heartbeat.
Shy like a mimosa, charming like a budding flower, she was incredibly nervous and expectant.
Wang Xuan layered the bridal gown onto Lin Cheng, placing the phoenix crown on her head, from afar, she was extraordinarily stunning.
"Peach blossoms flourishing, radiant and glorious, beautiful indeed!" Wang Xuan admired the bride before him, sincerely praising.
"Such a beautiful young lady, from today onward, is part of my Wang Family." Wang Xuan, rarely so excited, lifted Lin Cheng up.
"Be careful, there’s a child," Lin Cheng softly reminded.
Wang Xuan chuckled, "You saying it, I almost forgot about the little one in your belly."
A marriage blessed with a child, even in this era, is rare among immortals, after all immortals have the time and energy to find their own love, never swayed by bodily desires.
Lin Cheng scrutinized herself in the mirror, wearing the long-awaited phoenix crown and wedding robe, realizing how stunningly beautiful she was, truly the pinnacle of her life.
"Today is the happiest day of my life." Lin Cheng’s face radiated with endless hope and future.
"Xuan, where’s your wedding attire? I’ll dress you personally." Lin Cheng was eager.
Wang Xuan’s wedding attire was much simpler, donning the Nine Heavens Immortal King Crown, wearing the All Heaven Nebula Boots, clad in the fiery Golden Crow Yang Transformation Robe.
The names themselves were symbolic, yet worn by him, they truly complemented his handsome and elegant demeanor, anyone would praise him as a dignified and celestial being.
Wang Xuan turned around with a smile, asking, "How does your husband look today?"
"A man’s grandeur unchecked; even if the legendary Erlang God came, he wouldn’t match my husband’s elegance." Lin Cheng brimmed with pride.
"Then perhaps lacking a bit of arrogance and dominance?"
Wang Xuan spoke, his demeanor shifting, the Qi of Creation evolved into ethereal purple aura surrounding him, seated on the throne with a stern and formidable expression.
This demeanor, akin to a king who gazes upon the world, swallowing mountains and rivers, an unsurpassable peak in the Immortal Tao.
"How is it?" Wang Xuan asked again.
"Like an Immortal King upon the world, countless immortals exist solely to complement your splendor, inspires reverence yet daunts approach," Lin Cheng replied.
Wang Xuan retracted his aura, stating, "Indeed awe-inspiring, but I’m afraid of scaring you."
Like the Divine Dragon, able to ascend and conceal, to expand and contract, Wang Xuan could be as gentle as a gentleman or as overwhelming as the Immortal King, ruling all heavens.
Black and White Mountain was bustling, families of Wang and Ling congregated on a square, awaiting the newlyweds.
Round after round of banquets, everyone envied and admired this talented couple, unable to discern the mystery of their wedding attire, yet equally captivated by the visual impact.
Lin Cheng’s breathtaking beauty, akin to the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden stepping out, Wang Xuan’s gallant presence, a welcoming Immortal King.
Beautiful indeed! Magnificent indeed!
"For Xiaochen to have such a good destiny, as a mother, I’m truly happy," Mother Ling smiled while wiping her tears, on such a celebratory day, mothers can’t help but cry.
From today, Lin Cheng truly won’t be the child under their wings, but a wife and mother.
"Why cry? We should smile, should be happy for our daughter," Father Ling wiped his wife’s tears, so as not to be laughed at.
The banquet at Black and White Mountain was the internal celebration of the two families, the real ceremony would occur at the main peak, under the eyes of thousands.
Wang Xuan and Lin Cheng made their round of toasts, each relative offering well-wishes they had pondered over for days.
"Wishing you unwavering unity till the seas go dry and stones crumble, flying shoulder to shoulder for eternity."
"Wishing you eternal unity into immortality, holding hands achieving immortality."
"Wishing your sweetness unchanged, maintaining your initial heart, having admirable children who tread the heavens like their father!"
...
On such a celebratory day, Black and White Mountain was enveloped in joy, Wang Xuan spared no gifts, providing each visiting relative with a substantial present.
The richest in the world are those who wield power and strength, the immortals.
And among the elite, Wang Xuan was certainly one of them.
A joyful morning and afternoon had passed.
"Let’s set off."
Wang Xuan took his beloved wife’s hand, accompanied by the steward, Hongze, Golden Turtle, and others, Chong the Thirty-Sixth transformed into a fiery Phoenix.
The Phoenix lowered to carry everyone, soaring into the sky swiftly, causing Father Wang, Mother Wang, and Lin Cheng’s parents to exclaim uncontrollably.
Such an experience, coupled with the immortal scenery within Immortal Martial Mountain, left them dazedly admiring, feeling the trip worthwhile.
Other relatives either lacked status or were unwilling to come, considering Wang Xuan’s humble beginnings, they were mere ordinary people.
In situations dominated by Wang Xuan, they adapted well, but imagining facing hundreds of True Immortals or even Immortals,
merely thinking about it made their legs weak, knowing a casual glance from a True Immortal would leave them bewildered and distracted.
Unable to bear the physiological and psychological pressure, going would be torturous for them, and they weren’t indispensable, Wang Xuan didn’t force them.
Soon, Wang Xuan and his group arrived at the main peak.
Immortal Martial Mountain’s main peak had been hosting a flowing banquet for three days, the offerings for guests were exquisite, leaving people dumbfounded at Immortal Martial Mountain’s generosity.
Above the grand square floated a jade plaza, about a thousand yards wide and long.
At the four corners of the jade plaza, triangular inclines formed long stairs, resembling the side of a pyramid.
And at its center, it was like a stage.
These days, many True Immortals casually left behind Celestial Tier wonders, either miracle elixirs boosting cultivation, or blood from divine beast descendants enhancing physique, or beast pets or mounts, or classic alien cultivation techniques or divine weapons.
Both sides’ masters put forth numerous treasures as prizes, encouraging disciples to fiercely compete, providing quite a spectacle.
The principal participants in the duels were Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals, whether it was Immortal Martial Mountain’s true inheritors against visitors, or guests naming opponents.
Competitions involved sword dao, talismans, flesh body, divine techniques, magic, but no one competed showcasing their ’Tao’.
When idle, people exchanged their treasures publicly for what they needed, bustling beyond normal, with mutually beneficial exchanges in abundance.
Hosting this event was Immortal Martial Mountain Sect Leader Hong Xuanji, while the remaining eight ancestors, along with numerous Half-Step Immortals guests, concealed themselves in the void discussing significant matters.
What they discussed encompassed strategies for wars in the Otherworld, responses to alien races, or major reforms in Earth civilization.
Upon seeing Wang Xuan and his bride arrive, the celebratory main peak quietened, Hong Xuanji laughed aloud.
"Our newlyweds don’t seem one bit anxious today, but any later and we won’t have been able to wait.
Someone, bring the newlyweds to their seats!"
Guest Reception Square orderly seated over a thousand people, with Immortal Martial Mountain’s own thousand true inheritors and honored guests, even within the Immortal Realm’s pavilions, under the trees and in halls, countless were seated.
These days, it was an all-out celebration for Immortal Martial Mountain, apart from those working hard below, many true inheritors were busy socializing and hosting guests.
Important guests were on the square; seats aligned by cultivation level and status when looking across, mostly True Immortals, each with one or two Earth Immortal or Celestial Immortal disciples.
Wang Xuan hadn’t seen all of Immortal Martial Mountain’s True Immortals, yet this time they arrived in droves, possibly matching the grand occasions for Martial Immortal’s birthday.
Hong Xuanji seated at the main position, but Qingming Immortal wasn’t seen; however, He Fang Great Immortal sat firmly below, pointing Wang Xuan to the lower left position, together facing the crowd of guests.
Visitors to Immortal Martial Mountain weren’t few; Wang Xuan had roughly gathered information on these immortals, introducing them to Lin Cheng one by one.
If unfamiliar or perceptual bias occurred, He Fang corrected him since the information was collected, unlike what he, this Void True Immortal, had witnessed in person.
