Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 18 Hongjun: Why did the Eastern King's wedding banquet become a heavenly marriage?

Once the Eastern King Duke set the date for the wedding, he dispatched the nine sons of the First Emperor of Dragons, as well as the Three Immortals of Sanxiao who had been accepted as his disciples, to send out invitations widely.

Regardless of any past grievances, not a single person of any standing in the primordial world was overlooked.

In an instant, the entire prehistoric world was plunged into chaos.

The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother were happily married; this was a wedding banquet for two beings of innate power.

Moreover, they are two of the very few Quasi-Saints in the primordial world!

The union of these two will undoubtedly disrupt the current situation in the prehistoric world, and the Heavenly Court's position will become even more secure.

With mixed feelings, countless powerful figures expressed their determination to keep the appointment.

Of course, some people were unhappy and unwilling to keep the appointment.

"This Dongwanggong is really quite arrogant. It's just a wedding banquet, yet he dares to make such a big fuss. He really doesn't know what's good for him."

"Donghuang Taiyi said in a resentful and sarcastic tone."

"It's alright. You can be arrogant for a while, but you can't be arrogant forever," Di Jun said calmly.

"Big brother is right. Let him have his fun at the wedding banquet. We're not going," Donghuang Taiyi sneered.

"No, we must go to the wedding banquet," Di Jun said quietly.

"???"

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Dijun in bewilderment. He had thought that Dijun would agree with him, but he never expected that the clown was himself.

"Second brother, we are still seriously injured and cannot give that bastard any excuse."

Di Jun spoke earnestly, for he was never willing to bring glory to the Eastern King, but if they directly offended him, the Eastern King might use it as a pretext to cause them trouble.

At Dongkunlun, the Three Pure Ones also received an invitation.

"It's Dong Wang Gong again. Why is he like a fly, impossible to get rid of?"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, clearly displeased.

Today, the Prince of Lidong has completely overshadowed them. How are they supposed to survive now?

The dignified true lineage of Pangu, the most outstanding disciple of Hongjun Laozu, is actually inferior to Dongwanggong. It's laughable to even mention it.

"The Nine Sons of the First Emperor sent out invitations; the Heavenly Court is truly magnificent! If I don't accept them, let's see what the Eastern King Duke can do."

The Tongtian Sect Leader narrowed his eyes, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

However, this was just talk.

"Very well, after all, he is the head of the male immortals appointed by the master, so we cannot be disrespectful." Laozi accepted the invitation.

"Big brother."

When Laozi returned to his residence, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said:

"He's just the head of a male immortal, why should we give him so much face?"

Upon hearing this, Laozi shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Although he is merely the head of the male immortals appointed by our teacher, and his status may not be as high as ours, in terms of strength, this Eastern King Duke was able to single-handedly defeat Emperor Jun and Taiyi. Who among us could do that?"

"No matter how unwilling I am, I must accept this invitation!"

"Otherwise, we would be offending the Heavenly Court and denying the teacher's appointment, which would not benefit us at all and would only give the other side ammunition to criticize us."

Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu remained silent. Laozi's implication was clear: they were no match for Dongwanggong, and if they didn't give Dongwanggong face, he might find an excuse to suppress them.

Therefore, those who understand the times are wise; let's admit defeat for now.

However, this does not mean that they have acknowledged the Eastern King Duke. In the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, no matter what the present situation is, they will definitely be the strongest in the future.

Soon, the nine sons of the First Emperor of Dragons traveled all over the prehistoric world and distributed all the invitations.

All the powerful beings who participated in the lecture at Zixiao Palace, including Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Xihe, and Changxi, received invitations and expressed their intention to attend on time.

In addition, even the witch clan received an invitation.

Dijiang, the leader of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, unexpectedly came out personally to accept the invitation.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Everyone in the primordial world knows this. The Witch Clan and the Demon Court were at odds, and the Demon Court and the Heavenly Court were at odds.

Therefore, the twelve ancestral witches were naturally happy to give face to the Eastern King Duke.

……

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun also heard the news that the Eastern King Duke was going to hold a wedding banquet.

At first, he didn't think it was a big deal, after all, anyone with eyes could see that the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother would become Daoist partners.

But then, he remembered something and realized that something was wrong.

Hongjun took out the Jade Disc of Creation and began his deductions.

The next moment, he was stunned.

"How is this possible? Why has the wedding banquet of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother become a celestial marriage?!"

……

With the invitations already distributed, Dong Wanggong was ready to begin handling all the details of the wedding banquet.

A grand display is definitely essential, as it represents the prestige of the Heavenly Court.

However, these are no big deal for the Heavenly Court now.

Once he was certain that everything was almost ready, Dongwanggong secretly set off on a long journey without informing anyone in the Heavenly Court.

The place he went to was none other than the place where Nuwa was now—Mount Buzhou.

"Since we are going to hold a celestial wedding, a red embroidered ball is essential. We must invite Nuwa to be our witness on this trip to Buzhou Mountain."

The Eastern King Duke muttered to himself, "Shrinking the earth to an inch," and before long, he had arrived at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

And on the mountainside is the Taoist temple where Nuwa is now located.

This was the first time Dongwanggong had seen Buzhou Mountain since he had traversed the primordial world.

This legendary mountain also piqued the curiosity of the Eastern King Duke.

He looked up.

Mount Buzhou resembles a broken giant cuboid, shaped like a slanted triangle.

Its height is so great that its top is difficult to see from afar; even through the clouds, its summit remains unseen.

Looking from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, the land is covered with medicinal herbs, and the air is filled with a misty fragrance.

Within a hundred paces, there must be a gathering of rare and exotic beasts, truly a sacred place for immortals!

Above the mountainside, however, everything was covered in white snow, the air was bitterly cold, and snowflakes drifted down, freezing half of the mountain.

"Mount Buzhou is truly a wonderful place, even better than my Purple Mansion Continent."

After a moment of reflection, Dongwanggong moved swiftly and arrived at the mountainside, which was Nuwa's sacred site.

Before the Eastern King could openly state his intentions, Nuwa sensed his arrival and slowly walked out of the temple.

This was the second time that Dongwanggong had seen Nuwa.

The last time was in Zixiao Palace, when he was busy bargaining with Hongjun and then busy snatching magic treasures in Fenbao Rock, so he didn't pay close attention to Nuwa's appearance.

This time, however, the Eastern King Duke saw it clearly.

Nuwa's face was like a snow lotus, serene as a flower reflected in water, pure and elegant; she wore a snow-white gauze dress, her hairpins were silver and simple, and she and the snow-covered Buzhou Mountain behind her were like one.

"Nuwa has met the Heavenly Emperor."

Nuwa bent her delicate body and spoke softly.

"useless."

Dongwanggong hurriedly went to Nuwa and helped her up.

He then got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"Fairy Nuwa, you must have heard that I will be marrying the Queen Mother of the West in a few days. I have come to your temple with a request: could you please come in person and be our witness?"

"Officiating at the wedding?"

Nuwa was taken aback, and an unusual light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

This was the first time she had ever heard of the term "marriage officiant."

"What should I do?"

Nuwa asked, also very curious about the matter of the officiant.

"It's very simple. Just come with me to the Heavenly Court, and on the day of the wedding banquet, take out the red embroidered ball that Master Hongjun gave you, connect me with the Queen Mother of the West, and personally preside over our wedding."

The Eastern King laughed.

"That simple?"

Nuwa was somewhat surprised.

They thought that the fact that the Eastern King Duke personally came to invite her meant that he needed her to do something very important, but it turned out that there was nothing unusual about it.

However, how could Nuwa know that her red embroidered ball's presence would directly elevate the wedding banquet of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother to a whole new level?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Nuwa suddenly remembered something and said...

"Emperor Donghua, if you wish me to officiate your wedding, that's not impossible; on the contrary, I'd be very willing. However, I also have a request that you would appreciate."

"Please enlighten me, Fairy."

Dongwanggong laughed and said that as long as the request wasn't too unreasonable, he was willing to accept it under the temptation of a heavenly marriage.
