The Golden Dragon Young Master thought of knowing Chu Hong better by visiting Sycamore Mountain himself. However, he was given the cold shoulder.
Chu Hong was not interested in him at all.
If it were not for Huang Yanâs attentiveness and flattery, he might start to suspect that he was not charming enough.
Chu Hongâs cold shoulder agitated him, and in addition to what Huang Yan told him earlier, it left him restless and anxious.
âChu Kuangren⦠Huang Hong likes him⦠Does it mean that to her, I am inferior to Chu Kuangren?!â bellowed the Golden Dragon Young Master.
He had always been at the top since he was young. No matter what he sought, he would always get his hands on it.
Now, he was being overshadowed by a human, and what was more frustrating was that he had not even met Chu Kuangren in person.
âDragon Bachelor, calm down. Chu Hong is a foreign Godly Phoenix. Itâs always like that with them from the outside, captivated by the temptations of the outside world. The temptation clouds their judgment and blinds their eyes, preventing them from telling the good from the bad,â Huang Yan tried to console the Golden Dragon Young Master.
Further away, both the Mountain Rulers saw everything n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHuang Hong has no appreciation for what weâve done for her,â Feng Mountain Ruler said with his brows furrowed.
âIt seems like she really opposes this wedding. Why donât we cancel it?â the Huang Mountain Ruler said with a frown. She felt uneasy about Chu Hongâs resistance.
âThe world now knows the union between the dragons and phoenixes. If we cancel it now, we will become the joke of the world,â the Feng Mountain Ruler said.
âBut Huang Hong-â
âI know what to do about it,â the Feng Mountain Ruler said.
At that moment, Qing Feng came to them.
âFather, mother, I have something to say.â
âWhat is it?â
Qing Feng briefly told her parents about Chu Kuangren and then added, âI have a feeling that the opportunity of Sycamore Mountain is not referring to the union with Divine Dragon Island.â
âAre you saying that Chu Kuangren is the opportunity?â
âItâs highly possible.â
âIn that case, hereâs a question: is Chu Kuangren a Fated One?â
âI⦠I heard the other Fated Ones did not react to Chu Kuangren when they saw him, so no. Heâs not a Fated One.â
âThe second question: is he an Immortal?â
âHe hasnât gone through the Three Disasters Nine Dooms.â
âOkay. Is he anyhow fit to inherit an ancient immortal orthodoxy?â
âHeâs a Master of the academy, but it has only been a few short years since he joined. If he were to inherit the academy and be the next dean, Iâm afraid itâs impossible.â
âIf heâs not a Fated One, not yet an Immortal, and not even in line to inherit an ancient immortal orthodoxy, how is he our opportunity? The only way to go is the marriage between Huang Hong and the Golden Dragon Young Master.
âThe union will unite the powers of two ancient immortal orthodoxies, and it will assist him to become the Heavenly Champion. He is our opportunity!â Feng Mountain Ruler said.
âBut-â
âThatâs enough, Qing Feng. Iâve decided.â
Qing Feng wanted to continue, but the Feng Mountain Ruler stopped her.
Discouraged, she stepped down, but she still felt anxious
Three months later, the news of the marriage between Huang Hong of Sycamore Mountain and Golden Dragon Young Master of Divine Dragon Island spread across Planquilon Immortal World.
Due to the union, the two greatest Yokai Tribes invited all the famous cultivators to attend the wedding, not only limited to the Yokai Tribes.
Even some human ancient immortal orthodoxies received the invitation.
The Dean of Hundred Academy held the big red invitation card in his hand and mumbled, âThe union between dragon and phoenix, huh? This is huge. Is Sycamore Mountain teaming up with Divine Dragon Island to assist the Golden Dragon Young Master to become the Heavenly Champion?â
âIâm afraid so. Itâs a huge investment.â
âSince we have some time to spare, letâs go have a look.â
Meanwhile, in a certain mountain peak of the academy, the Sword Crown was training with Lan Yu, or more precisely, guiding her cultivation.
Lan Yu had developed the Radiant War Immortal Physique to a certain extent, and she was just a step shy from becoming an Immortal.
Nevertheless, her strength could already rival an Immortal.
âMmhm, not bad. Your Radiant War Immortal Physique is powerful. I believe itâs at least going to be a top-notch King Immortal Physique,â the Sword Crown exclaimed.
âKing Immortal Physique or higherâ¦â Lan Yu mumbled.
There were five grades of Immortal Physiques â Common, Mystic, King, Emperor, and Supreme.
She had a strong feeling that her Radiant War Immortal Physique still had room for improvement as she had not developed it to the fullest or brought out its full potential.
âHah! You are going to achieve more than me in the future,â the Sword Crown chuckled.
He may have broken through to the Earthen Immortal Realm, but a top-notch King Immortal Physique had a lot more potential for growth, and an Earthen Immortal was definitely not the limit.
On top of that, Lan Yu has not yet fully developed her Radiant War Immortal Physique.
In the Sword Crownâs opinion, Lan Yuâs potential would be greater than the Divine Beasts of Planquilon Immortal World, almost comparable to the top pure-blooded Divine Beasts.
âIâm still far away compared to Master,â Lan Yu said with a shake of her head.
âMaster is an anomaly. You canât compare yourself with him. In my opinion, the Master has high hopes to achieve Arch Gilded Daoist Nirvana or even breakthrough to Primordial Daoist Nirvana to become the strongest among the Immortals,â the Sword Crown lamented.
An Arch Gilded Daoist Nirvana was considered a rare existence even in the complete Immortal World, let alone Primordial Daoist Nirvana, which was one rank above.
The Sword Crown viewed them as legends.
âLan Yu, Lil Fox.â
At that moment, Shang Honghua arrived.
âLan Yu, have you heard? The Divine Dragon Island is uniting with Sycamore Mountain, and my Master is bringing me to the wedding. Wanna go have a look?â
âA wedding? Sounds lively! Letâs go!â Lil Fox was captivated. Lan Yu thought for a while and said, âThe union between the dragon and phoenix is definitely a gathering for all sky-prides and Immortal Progenies. I think it would be great to have a look as well.â
âGreat. Itâs settled.â
A few days later, Lan Yu, the Sword Crown, and the others headed to Divine Dragon Island.
Before they departed, they left a message for Chu Kuangren.
All sky-prides and Immortals gathered at Divine Dragon Island for the event of the century.
The sky above the island was blessed with auspicious Immortal Sparks. It was so grand that it almost resembled the phenomenon of a myriad Immortals coming for a pilgrimage.
âSnowy Moon Immortal, youâre here as well.â
âI was invited by Divine Dragon Island.â
âOh, Lady Leng, Itâs been a while.â âGreetings, fellow Daoist.â
The Immortals who barely showed themselves in public showed up to the grand event, and their presence surprised many of the sky-prides and Immortal Progenies, leaving them in awe.
âDivine Dragon Island is really influential.â
âAs one of the ancient immortal orthodoxies of Planquilon Immortal World, they are undoubtedly influential. Plus, itâs the union between dragon and phoenix. A lot is involved. How could the Immortals not show
up?â
The guests were in a heated discussion.
It was then that Immortal Sparks shone a distance away.
The Dean of Hundred Academy and Gong Yue of Jade Clarity Immortal Sect arrived with Lan Yu and the others. Their arrival attracted manyâs attention. âItâs the Dean and Jade Clarity Immortal Sect Master!â
âOh, they are here too?â
âLook at those two girls. They are the two of the Four Beauties, Lan Yu and Shang Honghua. They are the most outstanding female cultivators of their generation, especially Shang Honghua, who is a Fated One.â
âI heard they are related to Chu Kuangren.â
Their arrival sparked another round of heated discussion.
Lan Yu and Shang Honghua had made a name for themselves now and were almost as famous as the past Twelve Kings of the Immortal Progenies.
Among the crowd, a young man in black robes glanced at Shang Honghua, and surprise flashed across his eyes.
âShang Honghuaâs energy is a lot stronger than she was a year ago. Interesting.â
The young man was none other than the last of the Holy Divine Fire Cult, Lin Yan.
