Chapter 396

During the path protection, back when it was the Purple Gold Holy Land, leveraging the reputation of the reincarnated immortal led to rapid expansion. It even absorbed multiple top-tier immortal sects. Otherwise, even with path protection, becoming a sacred place wouldn’t be as swift or easy, and the foundation would lag behind other sacred places.

The approach employed by the Purple Gold Holy Land, similar to corporate fusion beings, had indeed proven highly effective. However, the current state within the Purple Gold Holy Land had grown complex. At the Lord level, varying philosophies and attitudes among different Lords had caused significant distinctions and disagreements.

Consequently, these discrepancies among the Lords extend to their followers, resulting in disputes and conflicts. Especially in recent years, with a powerful figure supporting the Purple Gold Holy Son, internal conflicts within the Holy Land had escalated.

These conflicts might be trivial for Lord-level individuals, but they became substantial issues for their subordinates. Overall, the situation within the Purple Gold Holy Land was intricate. Upon returning to the Li family, Li Su found the storage pouch given by the sect leader’s parents quite generous.

While her parents originated from the Dongfang Family, they had distanced themselves. Within the Purple Gold Holy Land, their status was limited. Even though the sect leader’s younger sister was a Spirit Root Holder, she likely possessed only a third-grade Spirit Root, which wasn’t particularly rare in the Holy Land.

The Lords’ conflicts indicated sincerity from the sect leader’s parents. Time passed swiftly, and the wedding day arrived. With numerous flying vessels, Li Su led the welcoming party to the Flying Immortal Sect to greet the groom.

Despite the nearly ten thousand miles from the Li residence to the Flying Immortal Sect, the journey for Li Su was momentary. The wedding reception at the Flying Immortal Sect was lively. Li Su welcomed the sect leader into the bridal sedan chair.

They returned to the Li residence amid fanfare, and the wedding ceremony officially began. Many participants attended the grand wedding, with feasts set up in the mortal cities on Wolong Mountain. The Li family, near Luo City, also hosted lavish feasts.

Over the past few hundred years, generations near Luo City might have changed, but Li Su’s name and deeds persist. From the old to young children, everyone knew about the renowned Li Immortal and was familiar with Li Su’s deeds from hundreds of years ago.

Due to Li Su’s abundant time and widespread invitations, many cultivators from other realms attended her wedding. Curious and capable cultivators intrigued by Li Su’s status as a ‘reincarnated immortal’ made their way to the event. This allowed cultivators from different realms to witness Li Su’s influence.

“Long time since the cultivation world had such a grand event.”

“Yeah, encountering a reincarnated immortal is rare. After this encounter, we might never see such a phenomenon again.”

Several Nascent Soul cultivators from other realms expressed their sentiments. Even though Nascent Soul cultivators could live for thousands of years, in the eyes of the powerful, a few millennia passed in the blink of an eye. Core Formation cultivators would consider it fortunate to encounter a reincarnated immortal once in their lifetime, and many might go their entire lives without meeting one.

Therefore, cultivators from other realms had come. Even those not in seclusion probably see this experience as a journey. For Nascent Soul cultivators, traversing various realms was always a memorable experience.

Attending the wedding of a reincarnated immortal was significant for these Nascent Soul cultivators. On the wedding day, guests kept arriving. After Li Su welcomed the Sect Leader into the house, a group of special guests arrived at Wolong Mountain.

“Husband, it’s people from the Purple Gold Holy Lands and the Dongfang family!”

This time, these guests are special. Banners representing the Purple Gold Holy Lands and the Dongfang family from their flying ship were already unfurled. Seeing their arrival, many representatives from various Holy Lands within the Li family residence stood up.

They knew the history between Li Su and the Dongfang family. Soon, several individuals flew out from the ship of the Purple Gold Holy Lands, while some from the Dongfang family also emerged. Li Su saw that the venerable Dongfang Ancestor was among them. Besides the Dongfang Ancestor, there was also an incredibly enchanting woman by his side.

“Husband, the woman the Dongfang Ancestor married over a thousand years ago. The one beside her is the Purple Gold Prince,” Lu Qiu conveyed once again.

Li Su’s gaze swept over the Purple Gold Prince. The Prince’s cultivation progress was impressive. He hadn’t reached mastery as quickly as the Sect Leader, but over several hundred years, the Purple Gold Prince had attained the mid-stage of the Refinement Realm.

“Husband, that’s the Lord of Thunder Sword of the Purple Gold Holy Lands,” Lu Qiu relayed the people’s identities from the Purple Gold Holy Lands to Li Su.

Li Su’s gaze fell upon the Lord of Thunder Sword, a man in his thirties whose presence resembled a drawn sword. There was a faint hint of thunder in his gaze. Li Su realized that the Lord of Thunder Sword practiced thunder-based cultivation methods, likely possessing lightning elemental roots.

His strength was at least comparable with a late-stage Transcendent Realm cultivator. He was even stronger than the Lord Cloud Mist, whom the Sect Leader admired. The Lord of Thunder Sword unexpectedly came along with the Dongfang Ancestor and that woman, alongside the Purple Gold Prince! However, the expression on that woman’s face seemed reluctant. Li Su immediately grasped their intentions.

Perhaps they aimed to use this opportunity to mend relations. Most likely, it was the Lord of Thunder Sword’s idea. The Dongfang Ancestor didn’t seem entirely willing, especially after Li Su’s previous direct refusal. There might not be any other options now, with representatives from various Holy Lands gathered here, there was more than one presence at the Sovereign level.

Even if they were unaware that Li Su had surpassed the late-stage Transcendent Realm, they would unlikely consider taking action. Soon, the Lord of Thunder Sword arrived at the gates of the Li residence. Behind him were disciples from the Purple Gold Holy Lands, carrying various rare gifts.

“Li Su, I don’t want to see her,” the Sect Leader said.

Though her voice remained calm, Li Su could discern her true feelings. Today was her wedding day, and she didn’t want to see anyone from the Dongfang family, especially that woman. If they had succeeded a thousand years ago, she would’ve been reduced to a mortal, a fate she would have long moved past and no longer existed.

Nearly having her life ruined by them, followed by continuous attempts by that woman… This grudge wasn’t something easily resolved. Today was her wedding day, so she didn’t want to see these people there.

“Mentor, leave it to me,” Li Su gently squeezed her hand and said. Then, he made his way to the gates of the Li residence.

Lord Feng Tian and the representatives from other Holy Lands followed suit.

“Lord of Thunder Sword, long time no see. What brings you to the Canglan Realm all of a sudden?” Dongxuan Lord from the Taixu Holy Lands spoke quickly before Li Su, but Li Su didn’t mind. Allowing Dongxuan Sovereign to take the lead and speak first was preferable.

“Today, I came specifically to attend Li Su’s wedding. With the gathering of numerous Holy Lands and under your witness, I also intend to resolve the grudge between Li Su and the Dongfang family,” the Lord of Thunder Sword said.

“Oh? From what I understand, the actions of the Dongfang family towards Miss Shangguan Xue were far from ordinary. They not only attempted to strip her of her spiritual roots but also tried to exterminate her completely. Lord of Thunder Sword, bringing them to Miss Shangguan Xue’s wedding doesn’t seem quite appropriate, does it?” Dongxuan Lord said.
