Zhou Manor.
Rear Garden.
A sea of flowers bloomed in full splendor, lush greenery spread endlessly, and rare, exotic flora filled the air with a fragrance that was both refreshing and intoxicating.
Amidst the vibrant blossoms, a graceful figure stood, as dazzling as the very flowers around her—a beauty beyond words.
Draped in pristine white robes, her cascading black hair, as dark as ink, flowed like a waterfall, reaching down to her slender waist.
Her stunning features carried an ethereal quality, like a celestial fairy untouched by the mortal world. Her bright, clear eyes shimmered with a tranquility that seemed to penetrate to the bone—free of ambition, devoid of any desire to compete for power.
Suddenly—
A figure appeared behind her. Strong yet gentle hands wrapped around her from behind, pulling her into a warm embrace. His head rested upon her delicate, snow-white shoulder.
"Yun'er, you're breathtakingly beautiful."
Zhou Yi inhaled the faint, delicate fragrance of Yun Yun's hair, whispering softly.
His warm breath brushed against her smooth, flawless cheek and the shell of her ear. In an instant, Yun Yun's ears and slender neck flushed a rosy hue.
"Stop it, it's still broad daylight!"
Yun Yun hastily grasped Zhou Yi's wandering hands. Having been married to this scoundrel for some time now, she naturally knew his nature all too well.
He just loved…
"I missed you."
Zhou Yi placed a soft kiss on Yun Yun's fair and delicate face, his voice gentle.
It had been a few days since he had eradicated Hun Tiandi.
The outside world remained unaware of his death.
To the world at large, Hun Tiandi had already perished the moment the Soul Realm was destroyed.
Zhou Yi had considered refining the Plane Embryo to ascend to Dou God, but he estimated that the process would take quite some time.
Meanwhile, his wedding with Ling Qingzhu was fast approaching.
There was no rush.
Besides, given time, he might not even need the Plane Embryo—his children's blessings alone could propel him to Dou God.
With leisure at hand, Zhou Yi naturally spent his days indulging in blissful moments with his wives, living a carefree and unrestrained life.
One must revel in their finest moments.
Never let the golden goblet sit empty beneath the moon.
"Not here!"
Yun Yun sighed, understanding Zhou Yi's intent. She had no choice but to lower her resistance.
"But I like it here!"
"Mmph!"
Just as Yun Yun was about to protest, Zhou Yi silenced her with a deep, passionate kiss.
This scoundrel!
—
Time flew by, and the day of Ling Qingzhu's wedding arrived.
On this day, Zhou Manor was livelier than ever before, filled with more guests than ever seen.
Ling Qingzhu was not only the Young Palace Mistress of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace—one of the eight super sects of the Eastern Profound Domain in the Tianxuan Continent—but with ample time for preparations, even experts from other regions had traveled to attend.
A deafening dragon's roar echoed through the heavens.
Gigantic dragons soared through the sky, transforming into towering, majestic figures.
"The Dragon Clan of the Demon Region, here to congratulate Master Zhou and Fairy Qingzhu on their joyous union!"
As the overlords of the Demon Region, the Dragon Clan wielded immense strength.
However, compared to Zhou Yi, they were still far behind.
The Demon Region was far from the Eastern Profound Domain, and the Dragon Clan had set out the moment they received the news. Partly to offer their congratulations, but more importantly, to verify the status of the newly discovered realm—the Dou Qi Continent.
A new plane carried tremendous implications.
It had to be taken seriously.
Thus, upon hearing the news, they dropped everything to handle this matter personally.
Following the Dragon Clan's arrival, the remaining three overlords of the Demon Region—the Sky Demon Mink Clan, Kunpeng Clan, and Nine Phoenix Clan—along with the eight great royal clans, all arrived in succession.
Not long after, the major forces from the Chaos Demon Sea also made their entrance.
The Flame God Hall, Sea Sword Pavilion, Sky Sea Cliff, Myriad Sea Heavenly Palace, Blood Shark Clan, Sea Giant Clan, Undying Sacred Whale Clan, and many other factions all sent their experts.
Had it been merely Zhou Yi, they might not have turned out in such numbers.
But they were here not only for him but to witness firsthand the mysteries of the Dou Qi Continent.
Besides the Demon Region and Chaos Demon Sea, the major powers of the Four Grand Regions had also long since arrived.
Among them were countless forces with deep-seated enmities.
However, upon witnessing the might of Zhou Manor, every last one of them behaved. At the very least, no one dared to stir trouble at Zhou Yi's wedding.
Zhou Yi knew that today, nearly all the major powers of both the Dou Qi Continent and the Tianxuan Continent had gathered—an assembly of dragons and serpents, filled with hidden rivalries.
It was a situation ripe for conflict.
Thus, Zhou Yi had specifically stationed Void Devouring Flame at the entrance to greet guests.
Ranked second on the Heavenly Flame List, Void Devouring Flame was a peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, equivalent to the pinnacle of the Triple Reincarnation Tribulation. Being a Heavenly Flame, his strength was even more formidable.
Among all the assembled experts, only Gu Yuan, a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, could rival him.
None of the experts from the Tianxuan Continent could compare.
As for the Ancient Eight Clans, none had shown up.
After all, following the last great war, the Eight Masters had suffered grievous losses—some remained in deep slumber, others had perished entirely, or reincarnated.
"The Dou Qi Continent truly deserves its reputation as the birthplace of many Dou Emperors. Its overall strength far surpasses our Tianxuan Continent!"
In the Flame God Hall's delegation, a fiery-red figure sighed in admiration.
Clad in a crimson battle dress, the form-fitting armor accentuated her voluptuous curves.
Her long, wavy crimson hair cascaded to her waist, adding to her seductive allure.
She possessed a striking beauty—delicate brows, snow-white skin—exuding both a captivating charm and a bold, unyielding spirit.
This fusion of allure and heroism made her dangerously mesmerizing, leaving many men's hearts pounding uncontrollably.
She was Tang Xinlian, the chief disciple of the Flame God Hall's Hall Master, Mo Luo, and the next in line for the throne. Known to the world as the Fire Fairy.
Mo Luo nodded. "Beyond Master Zhou himself, the Ancient Eight Clans, descendants of Dou Gods, are leagues above ordinary factions. Among them, the number of Dou Saints comparable to Reincarnation Realm experts exceeds a dozen. The Gu Clan, Lei Clan, Yan Clan, and Yao Clan, in particular, boast numerous high-tier Dou Saints at the pinnacle of the Triple Reincarnation Tribulation."
As they spoke, a surge of excitement suddenly swept through the crowd.
"Master Zhou has arrived!"
