Chapter 801: Chapter 512: Tao Qian’s Wedding News Shakes the World, Spirit Marrow Lady Hides the Star Membrane (Part 2)
Tao Qian also followed with a salute, simultaneously gaining an understanding in his heart: Aunt Ma Yi might have come for his marriage arrangement.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Aunt Ma Yi Immortal looked directly at Tao Qian, revealing a benevolent smile, and first praised: "Good child, you’ve done extremely well this time, even the Sect Master drank a few more cups of divine wine at the feast."
After a pause, she continued:
"You are Duobao’s first disciple, it should have been him handling your marriage matters."
"Though he might be a lazy one, he’s willing to take on such a joyous occasion; unfortunately, he encountered reincarnation through corpse disintegration."
"However, before taking action, he had already sent me a message, entrusting this matter to me."
"Junior Sister Yunhua also sent a letter from the Outer Realm, saying she is aware of this matter and has sent letters everywhere, inviting her formidable close friends to help, making it lively... If she can make it in time, she’ll try her best to return."
"You should first cultivate your mind and nurture your character at your Daoist field for a few days. Today, I will personally make a trip to Jade Ring Mountain to discuss the arrangements with Daoist Taizhen."
After speaking these words to Tao Qian.
Aunt Ma Yi Immortal turned her head, looked at the Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals, and numerous true disciples, and directly instructed:
"On such a joyous occasion, the entire sect should put in the effort and wholeheartedly arrange it."
"Jade Ring Mountain’s reputation within and outside the realm is quite transcendent, with extraordinary heritage; we cannot let the in-laws underestimate our Spirit Treasure Sect."
At the end of her words, Aunt Ma Yi Immortal was clearly in a very good mood, always with a smile on her face.
The rest of the Ten Thousand Immortals and disciples all agreed with laughter.
...
When the tribulations dissipated, demons retreated, and the seventy-two provinces were all celebrating.
The cultivation world, still digesting the shocking fact of "Ancestor God Forbidden Technique Recast," suddenly heard another big news on this day.
The first Daoist Heavenly Pride in the Daoist Sect, Tao Qian, Tao True Master, the one who initially stood out to recast the forbidden technique and successfully trapped many alchemist emperors, was about to marry Fairy Yunrong, the daughter and disciple of the Jade Ring Mountain Master.
Although the name Jade Ring Mountain is not well known among the lower level cultivators.
Yet among the higher-ups, the fierce reputation of Jade Ring Mountain’s Grandma Taizhen surpasses even the "Duobao True Monarch."
And now there are also unique sects like the Divine Ear Sect and Ting Di Sect, which will spread and popularize many secret news across the world.
For a time, in the cultivation world, regardless of north or south, regardless of Daoist lineage, it was a hive of excitement:
"Tao True Master is getting married? Such a joyous event, I wonder if I have the blessing to go and drink a cup of wine."
"Turning the world upside down, achieving success and stepping back; Tao True Master not only has a compassionate heart but also deeply understands the Dao of heaven, in the future will surely attain Daoist transformation, becoming a Tribulation Immortal."
"Yet I do not know what kind of place is Jade Ring Mountain? Who exactly is Fairy Yunrong, how can she be a match for Tao True Master, the first Heavenly Pride of the Daoist sect?"
"Hush! Even though the cultivators from Ting Di Sect speak with vague terms when talking about Jade Ring Mountain, it’s already stated that this is a prominent Daoist lineage in the cultivation world, with a background and support that may not be much inferior to the Spirit Treasure Sect. Many senior experts also say this union between the two families is indeed a grand event in the cultivation world."
"The experts within my sect also say, marrying in the Daoist realm and immortals is a rare event, the last time it was this lively was over a thousand years ago, when the Sect Master of Shenxiao Sect proposed to the daughter of an Outer Realm god [Mother of Lightning]; it’s heard that at that time, the nine heavens thunder rumbled for three days, and countless evil demons were struck dead in celebration of the grand wedding."
Tao Qian, after going out, accomplished many big things and met numerous cultivators and powers.
Upon hearing such a joyous event, those with connections all thought of coming to drink celebratory wine.
The biggest commotion came from two other groups.
One, even before Duobao’s corpse disintegration, had foreseen this event and sent out invitations to invite people to come.
The other group consisted of Yunhua Immortal’s close friends.
The people Yunhua Immortal invited, naturally need no mention, each is a distinguished female fairy from major sects, such as Infant Sect Master Xiao, Queen of Daughter Country, Heavenly Consort Hall Master, Kunlun Goddess, and so on.
Although Duobao True Monarch’s reputation isn’t very good, he has quite a few friends, not only within the Twelve Daoist Sects, but also in the Buddhist Sect and Demon Sect there are many unexpectedly close friends, all laughingly heading to Penglai Sea, when meeting along the way, they congratulate and sing, saying that Duobao this scourge has finally reincarnated."
...
These major disturbances gradually went beyond Tao Qian’s control.
After Aunt Ma Yi took over organizing the wedding arrangements, Tao Qian originally thought of returning to Jade Ring Mountain, to accompany his beloved Yunrong.
But who would have thought Grandma Taizhen still wouldn’t allow it, saying it is forbidden to meet before the grand wedding.
Even Yunrong herself said she needed to prepare, to make herself the most beautiful female fairy in the world on the day of the grand wedding, and not to disturb her.
Tao Qian helplessly had to return to the Spiritual Resonance Cave on this day, to first collect the relics left by his Master.
With Yuan Gong’s reminder, and his own thoughts, he gradually understood:
"Master previously might not have predicted I would use that method to save the world and people, but after I told him about that ’Great Plan’, he must have been able to predict all subsequent events, so he had me follow the plan, having his arrangements and whatnot."
"Just didn’t expect those arrangements meant he himself would also enter the tribulation."
"With his lazy disposition, it makes sense he wouldn’t want to sit idly on Golden Radiance Island for eight hundred years to resolve karma; he simply entered the tribulation, forcefully achieved Daoist transformation for me to block the death tribulation, and took the momentum to cut off all debts and sins, reincarnating to cultivate anew."
"But as for the exact details, I’ll still need to take a look at the [Divination Technique] and [Ten Thousand Treasure Secret] he left for me."
With this thought in mind, Tao Qian appeared in front of the highest palace at the Spiritual Resonance Cave Mansion.
With a trace of anticipation on his face, he reached out to cast a spell, dispelling the Forbidden Technique on the imposing and ancient bronze portal ahead.
As the Divine Light surged, the portal opened.
The next scene that entered Tao Qian’s eyes was a vast expanse, shimmering with the brilliance of stars, with a continuously swirling iris.
"Star Membrane Secret Realm?"
The moment this thought arose in Tao Qian’s mind.
Within the membrane, a voice, though old yet exceptionally clear, resounded:
"Has the Young Master descended?"
"This humble one’s dharma body is somewhat inconvenient now and cannot welcome you in person. Please, young master, do not hold it against me."
"But the children have always wanted to meet the young master. Today’s blessing has come."
As these words fell.
In front of him, the star membrane flashed with rainbow light, and clusters of radiant crystal brilliance emerged like "Linglong Dumplings".
They rolled to the ground, transforming into little girls carved like jade.
They all appeared to be about two or three years old, their aura and likeness strikingly similar to Zhong Doudou, each seeming as if made of crystal, flawless in form, and chirping as they rushed towards Tao Qian.
"Wow, it’s the young master, so fragrant, Sister Dou Dou didn’t lie."
"The young master finally came, we missed you terribly."
"I’ll take a sniff, so fragrant, even more than silly Sister Dou Dou said."
"Oh, stop fussing, quickly take the young master to see the Lady, delay any longer and the Lady will blame us."
As they spoke, these Crystal Demon girls swarmed all over Tao Qian.
Pulling and dragging, they led him into the secret realm.
In just a flash of rainbow light before his eyes, he seemed to be in an Outer Realm illusion.
In front of him was not only a different world but clearly a Spirit Crystal Fairyland.
Everywhere he looked, crystal stones shimmered with a colorful brilliance, of all sizes, endless.
And within them, crystal embryos were clearly visible, all were girls.
As Tao Qian entered, those still unformed remained quiet, but those with nascent forms and spiritual wisdom directly opened their eyes within the fetal membrane and looked towards Tao Qian, exclaiming in joy with words like "the young master has come," "the young master looks good."
In a daze, Tao Qian felt as if he were in a kingdom of little girls.
These Linglong Dolls then led him to a deeper place, where there appeared to be a massive mountain-like rainbow crystal stone.
Immediately, the crystal stone spoke human words: "Young master, please wait, this old body will come to meet you."
With those words, rainbow light surged, gathering before Tao Qian.
Looking again, there appeared a beautiful woman clad in a radiant, colorful dress, her entire form shimmering with rainbow light, with countless crystal lights swirling behind her head.
The depth in this woman’s eyes contained a profoundness rivaled only by that of Aunt Ma Yi.
Beneath each of her eyes were three colorful tear moles, appearing both divine and otherworldly.
Standing there, she seemed not like a woman but an ancient, enduring crystal mountain range, witnessing the passage of time and the changes of the world with her unchanging eyes.
"This humble one is Spirit Marrow, originally an Outer Realm crystal mountain, enlightened by the master, and followed at his side for some time of cultivation."
"These little ones are the elves who accompany my dharma body, and they usually call me Spirit Marrow Lady."
"The young master is now my new master; just call me Spirit Marrow."
"Is the young master here to take the master’s relics?"
As the woman finished speaking, Tao Qian hadn’t had a chance to respond.
From within his bosom, Yuan Gong’s voice, filled with strong envy, had already reached him.
"Duo Bao, that scoundrel, has such fortune?"
"To actually find an entire [Spirit Marrow Crystal Mountain], and one with sentience that he successfully transformed into a maidservant cultivator?"
"That old bastard, having a treasure like this, how is he not satisfied, still scouring everywhere for treasures?"
"Ha, truly shameless."
