Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 583 - 583 602

583: 602 583: 602 In front of the South Heavenly Gate!

The Four Great Heavenly Kings were stationed here, with Heavenly Soldiers and Generals patrolling.

When Ye Xuan and two others quietly appeared before the South Heavenly Gate, it caused a slight change in the expressions of the Four Great Heavenly Kings.

They were about to scold the newcomers but held back their words upon seeing Ye Xuan’s countenance.

“Greetings, Heavenly Emperor.”

The Four Great Heavenly Kings hurriedly bowed, their eyes revealing a hint of astonishment, for at this moment, Ye Xuan was covered in blood, evidently having gone through an unimaginable battle.

What further caused the Four Great Heavenly Kings great uncertainty were the man and woman beside Ye Xuan, both radiating Daluo Immortal Light, applying pressure to them like the weight of mountains and seas.

“Summon the Group of Immortals to discuss matters at Lingxiao Palace.”

Without any superfluous words, Ye Xuan crossed the South Heavenly Gate and headed toward the Lingxiao Palace, with the Peng Demon and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden swiftly following.

The Four Great Heavenly Kings bowed to take the order and rang the bell eighty-one times, stirring the entire Thirty-Three Layered Heaven into action.

Dou Niu Palace, Lingxiao Palace!

Immortal Light was chaotic, the Heavenly Court shook.

When news of Ye Xuan’s return to the Heavenly Court spread, the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven was thoroughly activated, with countless deities and Immortals from all around the Heavenly Court rushing towards Lingxiao Palace.

Inside Lingxiao Palace!

Ye Xuan did not change out of his bloodied garments; he simply sat upright on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, the Peng Demon and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden standing to his left and right.

As the Group of Immortals from all directions entered into the Lingxiao Palace one by one, a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in everyone’s eyes.

“Heavenly Emperor, could this be Her Highness the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden?”

Shen Gongbao first bowed to Ye Xuan and then turned his gaze, somewhat amazed, to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, directly voicing the question, clearly a question the Group of Immortals in the Heavenly Court also wished to ask.

Hisss!

The Immortal Extinguishing Sword was casually hurled by Ye Xuan, landing directly into the hands of Shen Gongbao.

Ye Xuan then spoke, “On this occasion of the grand event at Nuwa Palace, I successfully brought back the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

From today onwards, you may address the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden as the Queen Mother.

I will choose a date to wed the Mysterious Maiden, and will invite the mighty from all over the Three Realms.”

As Ye Xuan’s words fell, the Group of Immortals in the Heavenly Court rejoiced, offering their salutations to both Ye Xuan and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, chanting the names of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother, setting Lingxiao Palace to rumble mightily.

“Heavenly Emperor, and this Daoist friend is…?” Shen Gongbao asked with curiosity, for although the identity of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was clearly established, this Peng Demon was not recognized by Shen Gongbao and the others.

“Ha ha!”

Without waiting for Ye Xuan to make the introduction, the Peng Demon let out a hearty laugh and then clasped his fist toward the Group of Immortals of the Heavenly Court, saying, “The Peng Demon Daoist has seen all the esteemed Daoists of the Heavenly Court.”

Sss!

Once the Peng Demon spoke, Lingxiao Palace fell suddenly silent, save for the sound of sharp intakes of breath continually rising, clearly revealing their unfamiliarity with the Peng Demon, yet they had heard legends of him.

The Peng Demon Daoist, a terrifying existence in the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven, is absolutely a venerated and ancestral figure in the Three Realms, and on par with characters like the Peacock Great Ming King.

How could the people of the Heavenly Court not know or understand?

“Greetings to Senior Peng Demon.”

Shen Gongbao bowed, prompting the rest to quickly regain their senses, expressing their respect to the Peng Demon, for standing before them was a figure of the Daluo Nine Layer Heavens, someone beyond comparison to these ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals.

“The Peng Demon is a Daoist friend I made on my visit to the Nuwa Palace; he will reside in the Heavenly Court for a time.

I bestow upon him the Weiyang Palace as his cultivation grounds in the Heavenly Court,” Ye Xuan said calmly.

“Obey the Heavenly Emperor’s Dharma Decree.”

Gold Star Taibai hurriedly assented, then turned and nodded with a smile at the Peng Demon, but a trace of astonishment was evident in his eyes.

He couldn’t understand why Ye Xuan had subjugated such a terrifying figure as the Peng Demon.

Of course, Gold Star Taibai dared not speak further on the subject; however, he was not the only one with this question—the same thought arose in the hearts of the other immortals.

“When will the Heavenly Emperor hold the grand wedding with the Queen Mother?

Your servants also need to send out invitations to inform all the powerful figures in the Three Realms,” the Heavenly Judge stepped forward and asked Ye Xuan, bowing deeply.

The Heavenly Judge was in charge of the ceremonies of the Heavenly Court, and he would personally oversee the grand wedding of the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Naturally, he needed to inquire about Ye Xuan’s intentions.

“Three hundred years from now, I shall wed the Mysterious Maiden at the Turquoise Pool.

It will also be a grand occasion for our Heavenly Court.”

Ye Xuan’s gentle words prompted the Heavenly Judge to bow and take his leave from the Lingxiao Palace.

Evidently, he was to draft a Heavenly Edict to announce to the Three Realms and prepare numerous invitations to be sent to various forces, for the Heavenly Court was nominally the ruler of the Three Realms, and the grand wedding of the Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother was no small matter.

“Mysterious Maiden, from now on, your Daoist field shall be the Sacred Land of the Turquoise Pool.

As the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Court, you shall oversee all female fairies in the Three Realms, epitomizing motherly grace under the heavens.

During this period, you may also familiarize yourself with the Heavenly Court.

Once I emerge from my seclusion in three hundred years, we shall be wed,” Ye Xuan announced solemnly.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden nodded, a blush of shy delight coloring her exquisitely beautiful face, while her heart also held a young girl’s secretive joy.

“Peng Demon, my dear brother, you will temporarily reside in the Weiyang Palace.

After my seclusion, we shall discuss matters further.”

“Big brother, just focus on your seclusion.

Should anyone dare to trouble the Heavenly Court, I will ensure they never return,” the Peng Demon replied, bowing with a salute.

“Good, I appreciate your efforts during this time, my dear brother,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.

After a good half-day, Ye Xuan gave some instructions to the immortal officials of the Heavenly Court and informed both the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden and Peng Demon that they could ask Gold Star Taibai for assistance with any matter.

With that, the council in the Lingxiao Palace concluded.

…

Boom!

Rumble!

The doors of Dou Niu Palace closed with a thunderous sound.

Under the watchful gaze of the gathered immortals, Ye Xuan disappeared into Dou Niu Palace.

Clearly, after his battle with the Venomous Ancestor, he needed to heal.

Only after three hundred years would he step out of Dou Niu Palace once again.

Inside Dou Niu Palace!

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged; the Undying Immortal Scripture circulated rapidly within him as the Daluo Immortal Light shimmered faintly around him.

Clearly, he was in the process of healing his grievous wounds.

Huff!

Exhaling a rough breath that was as strong as a trained mist, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Even with the help of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and Peaches, it would take at least a hundred years to heal his injuries, a testament to the severity of the damage he had sustained in battle with the Venomous Ancestor.

“True Spirit undying, Quasi-Saint undying?”

Ye Xuan muttered, the solemnity evident in his eyes as he recalled the words spoken by the Venomous Ancestor in Nuwa Palace.

“This Venomous Ancestor was only a novice Quasi-Saint, and yet his Cultivation was so fearsome.

How unimaginably powerful then must those Quasi-Saints be who have lived endless Time?” Ye Xuan sighed deeply, feeling immense pressure in his heart.

It is said that only you know your own family’s affairs!

Although at the Nuwa Palace gathering the Venomous Ancestor had perished, reduced to ash and smoke, Ye Xuan was well aware that he was not the one who had personally slain the Venomous Ancestor, but rather it was the doing of that mysterious shadow.

Even though he wielded the Chaotic Sky Seven Killings Spear, he had only managed to destroy the Venomous Ancestor’s physical body.

As a Quasi-Saint, as long as a spark of his True Spirit remained undying, he could be reborn, a fact that nearly cost Ye Xuan his life at the hands of the other.
