A demon and a Daoist squatted on the beam for a while without fighting, after all, everyone knew the hour had not yet arrived. But squatting like this in the bridal chamber was quite boring, and even the old Daoist couldn’t help but chat.

"...Do you know that bald guy?"

The Law Enforcement Venerable shook his head.

The old Daoist was speechless,

"You don’t know him and still let him have the wedding night with your daughter?"

The Law Enforcement Venerable glanced at him sideways,

"He’s nothing more than a sacrificial offering necessary for the unsealing and emergence. What’s the difference from pigs and sheep."

The old Daoist shook his head, calculated with his fingers, and said,

"That’s not how it is. He’s not being served up bound and gagged. He won openly, by competing for a bride, winning the heart, and forcefully took someone else’s marriage into the room, really able to bear this bond.

As they say, ten years to cultivate the same ferry, a hundred years to share a pillow. The bond of marriage, the fate of husband and wife, the emotional tribulation in the mortal world is the greatest wish and bond in worldly cultivation. After all, even the relations with parents and teachers last only a lifetime, the union of two wings can even span three lifetimes.

Unless the three lives are crossed together, the fate ends in three generations, or the previous marriage bond is decisively cut off, otherwise, no matter how the edges of the world, even if the seas dry up and stones rot, it is hard to part.

Even if you just use this monk for a blood sacrifice, in the end, it’s your daughter marrying him in marriage, helping her escape the sea of suffering and cage, owing a life, a lifelong bond, thereafter at least two lifetimes of emotional debt must be repaid, who can say she won’t use a lifetime’s cultivation to repay it, how can you not be careful?"

"Hmph, childish!"

As a victim of feudal arranged marriage, the Law Enforcement Venerable scoffed at this decaying old concept,

"You people from the Demon Sect always act this way, pretending righteousness! It’s all lofty reasoning when you speak, but when you act, it’s vile and shameless, doing anything and everything! It’s all just calculations and business! Trap doors everywhere!

What three lives’ destiny! If there’s such a thing, how dare that wench form so many destinies back then! How dare she threaten my life! Harm my country! Doesn’t she know there’s a debt to be repaid!"

The old Daoist stroked his beard,

"You blame me, I don’t hold it against you, after all, your wife ran away with someone. But your daughter is innocent, she doesn’t deserve this.

Since I’ve encountered this karma, how about this, you let her acknowledge me as her master, so this poor Daoist might not need to kill you, and can instead raise her for you. How about that?"

The Law Enforcement Venerable sneered,

"Such big words! What do you count as! I, a supreme of the Divine Sect Ten Absolutes, can’t protect my own daughter? Enough with the nonsense, if you want to fight, let’s fight!"

The old Daoist just shook his head and laughed,

"What Divine Sect Ten Absolutes, who knows how many years ago you were selected as the Law Enforcement Venerable, not even knowing where your true body reincarnated, stop bragging.

Even if your real body is here, I’m afraid you still couldn’t protect her. Not to mention just one Blood God’s Son, easily exterminated, there’s no meaning in winning over him.

I also said, a Daoist companion is only three lives three generations, a hundred years of fate, you and your daughter haven’t seen each other for thousands of years, that fate has long ended; truth be told, the bond might not even be as deep as with that bald guy, she might not even remember you.

Moreover, this poor Daoist also has good intentions, don’t you know our patriarch was also a great figure of the Ancient Taoist Sect, topping the Immortal Records and Divine List, truly the Daoist mentor of the Emperor, really with deep ties to your family, otherwise, how could this matter fall into my hands.

I see today’s calamity must be mine, accepting your daughter as a closed-door disciple, also resolves a bond, it won’t harm her. Are you really not considering it?"

The Law Enforcement Venerable was stunned, as the Mystic Sect has never actively sought relationships, causing his brows to furrow,

"Exactly who are you..."

"Heh, Jing Yuanzi, a dignified one of the Kongtong Four Elders, now the running dog of humans, still not slaying demons and exterminating devils, quickly hand over the task, squatting here chatting family matters with the Blood Demon!

Kongtong Mountain betrayed the Immortal Palace back then, turned coats on the battlefield! Are you planning to collude with the Demon Sect today, to betray the Immortal Alliance again!"

Suddenly a voice transmitted like thunder rolling, exploding right in the ear.

Immediately the clouds in the sky roiled and surged, as if great waves rolled from the Sky Dome.

Then only a meteor streaking, a fire line connecting heaven, followed by colorful clouds and rolling dust storms, burst coming from the sky, overwhelming from above.

Before long the clouds dissipated, looking up, it was Ziyun obscuring the sun, golden light covering the sky, surprisingly a vast object, riding the clouds and flying from the cosmos sky, falling straight down.

That flying giant object glittered with brilliant light all over, resplendent and magnificent, at a glance it seemed like the palace of a nouveau riche in the Immortal Palace, but as the smoke cleared, a closer look showed it was completely different from the usual Immortal Palace treasure halls, purple pavilions, and flying boats. Even for a moment, it was impossible to describe with words.

After all, this thing looked as massive as a building or a ship’s mountain ridge, but really it couldn’t be called an Immortal Palace flying boat, better said it was a completely different style item. Could barely make out a door-shaped creation, its symmetrical wings radiating metallic luster, resembling two adjacent halberds, the whole body neither gold nor bronze, presumably a treasure crafted from a whole block of meteorite iron pure gold.

And the ship’s body emitted an earth-shaking Divine Gang Gold Qi! Behind the wings was even jetting vast yang flames! Scorching the atmosphere into billowing smoke clouds! Further encircled by Jiuxiao Divine Thunder, forming a visibly distinct thunder light barrier! Emitting a world-shaking, ghostly intimidating pressure!

The Law Enforcement Venerable was greatly shocked! Others might not recognize this item, but how could he not recognize it!

"It’s, it’s... it’s the South Heavenly Gate!!!"

"The South Heavenly Gate, truly the Immortal Palace..."

Jing Yuanzi was silent for a moment, turning his head to look at the fortress, clearly seeing the entire pool of water receding at a visibly noticeable speed, as if a bathtub’s plug had been pulled out, forming countless whirlpools, seeping into the ground through the cracks, he also sighed.
