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

Chapter 19 This is a breakthrough?! It's clearly cheating!

Nuwa nodded and spoke slowly.

"My elder brother, Fuxi, has now joined the Demon Court. It is common knowledge throughout the prehistoric world that the Heavenly Court and the Demon Court are enemies, and a battle is inevitable in the future. However, if the Heavenly Court were to defeat the Demon Court in the future, could you please ask the Heavenly Emperor to spare my brother's life?"

Nuwa had a nagging feeling that the Demon Court would inevitably be suppressed by the Heavenly Court, which is why she spoke to the Eastern King Duke in this way.

When Dongwanggong heard this, he thought it was something serious, but it was just letting Fuxi off the hook, which was simple.

"Of course!"

"We urge the fairy to attend the Heavenly Court's wedding banquet in three days!"

Nuwa nodded, finally feeling relieved.

From then on, the Eastern King Duke had completed all the preparations for the celestial marriage.

Three days later, the wedding banquet arrived.

The magnificent Heavenly Court was extremely busy at this moment.

Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and auspiciousness filled the air.

At this moment, the dragon and phoenix clansmen transformed into fairy maidens, serving the guests celestial fruits and fine wines.

Looking around, all the guests present were prominent figures from the ancient world.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun Laozu had a good relationship and sat together.

The twelve ancestral witches also wore smiles and toasted each other.

Even the reclusive Styx Ancestor made a rare appearance, giving the Eastern King Duke some face.

The two fairies, Xihe and Changxi, were mischievous and curious, watching the festive scene with great interest.

The Three Pure Ones drank their celestial wine without expression or uttering a word.

The people from the Demon Court, including Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi, all had gloomy expressions, except for Fu Xi, who looked completely indifferent.

But the next moment, everyone in the Demon Court, including Fuxi, changed their expressions.

Because Nuwa, with her graceful figure, slowly walked into the wedding banquet and stood beside the Eastern King Duke!

So, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Fuxi were all dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

Not only were Di Jun and the others dumbfounded, but the other powerful figures were also surprised and suspicious.

As is widely known, Nuwa's elder brother Fuxi was a member of the Demon Court, and Nuwa was a powerful member of the demon race.

It is truly baffling that Nuwa is now standing with Dongwanggong.

Regardless of what the others thought, once everyone had arrived, the Eastern King Duke immediately stepped forward, smiling and bowing to them.

"Thank you all for your support. I, Donghua, am truly honored."

"You're too kind, Emperor Donghua. It's our honor to attend your wedding." The guests rose to return the greeting.

After exchanging pleasantries, Dongwanggong began the most important part of the wedding banquet—the wedding procession!

Although the Queen Mother of the West was already living with the King Father of the East, for the sake of ceremony, she returned to Xikunlun on this day to wait for the King Father of the East to bring her back in a grand wedding procession.

With a gesture from the Eastern King Duke, the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, along with the nine phoenixes of the purest bloodline, revealed their divine forms and pulled a bridal sedan chair to the Eastern King Duke.

Upon seeing the nine phoenixes, the crowd didn't react much, but when their gazes swept over the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, their pupils suddenly contracted.

"These nine dragons... why do they look so much like the First Emperor of Qin?"

"Look! They have nine claws under their bellies! Besides the ancestral dragon, the dragon race actually has nine nine-clawed golden dragons!"

"If I'm not mistaken, these are the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, aren't they? Aren't their bloodlines impure? Could it be that their bloodlines have reverted to their ancestral form, reaching the realm of the Ancestral Dragon?"

"The Ancestral Dragon was one of the three great overlords of his time, possessing the potential to attain enlightenment. If the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon truly revert to their ancestral bloodline, wouldn't their potential be limitless?"

Everyone was shocked, as they had always been very curious about the strength of the Heavenly Court.

Although the Eastern King Duke is invincible below Hongjun, no one knows how many powerful figures are under his command.

Now, with the appearance of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, everyone finally has a clear understanding!

The Eastern King Duke was not only strong himself, but also had a powerful force under his command.

The Eastern King took in everyone's expressions and a smile appeared on his face.

Today is not only his wedding day, but also a chance for him to flex his muscles before the great beings of the primordial world.

Without saying much, he stepped into the carriage and quickly headed towards Xikunlun.

Not long after, he met the Queen Mother of the West and arrived at the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West was dressed in red, her head covered, with only a portion of her fair, snow-white wrists showing.

Her heart was already pounding with excitement.

Seeing that the Eastern King Duke had brought the Western Queen Mother back, Nuwa also kept her promise and acted as the witness for their marriage.

She took the red embroidered ball and had the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother tie it together, then presided over the wedding ceremony.

"First bow to the Heavenly Dao."

"Paying homage to Pangu twice."

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother bowed to the sky, Mount Buzhou, and each other respectively.

"The ceremony is complete—"

As Nuwa finished speaking, the wedding ceremony was completed!

The Eastern King looked up at the sky.

A flash of golden light!

"They're here!"

The Eastern King was secretly pleased.

Suddenly, golden light shone brightly in the heavens above the palace, and a streak of light appeared in the clouds.

The next moment, thunder roared, stirring up the sky for hundreds of millions of miles, alarming all living beings in the primordial world!

Within the Heavenly Court, everyone's perception was particularly acute!

The vast sky exuded a strong aura of the Heavenly Dao, dazzling and illuminating the entire primordial world.

The Heavenly Dao's merits and virtues, stretching for thousands of miles, enveloped the Heavenly Court with overwhelming power, their divine radiance roaring and transforming into divine beasts.

"This grand wedding can actually bring heavenly merit?"

All the guests were shocked!

They are all powerful and influential figures; how could they not know what the Eastern King Duke is currently experiencing?

Isn't this a divine reward for good deeds?

But this is just too unbelievable.

"Boom!"

The merits and virtues of the Heavenly Dao, stretching for thousands of miles, merged together and transformed into three divine pillars, which penetrated into the spiritual realms of the Eastern King Duke, the Western Queen Mother, and Nuwa!

The Eastern King Duke smiled broadly and immediately closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

Heavenly merit descended and was distributed among him, the Queen Mother of the West, and Nuwa.

Although the Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa did not understand what had happened, they quickly sat cross-legged and began to absorb the energy.

The abundant merit from the Heavenly Dao rapidly elevated the cultivation levels of the three individuals.

The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother were the biggest beneficiaries, each receiving four-tenths of the merit.

Nuwa, as the witness at the wedding, made a significant contribution and thus also received two merits.

Having received such immense merit, Dong Wanggong's cultivation, which had remained at the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage for a long time, broke through once again, rapidly advancing towards the mid-Quasi-Saint stage.

On the other side, the Queen Mother of the West is also advancing towards the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage.

Although Nuwa absorbed 20% less of the Heavenly Dao's merits, she had already accumulated a considerable amount. Now, with this accumulated strength finally coming to fruition, she is also heading towards the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage.

As time slowly passed, to everyone's astonishment, they were not far from advancing.

The Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and others looked at the powerful figure who was at odds with the Eastern King Duke, their expressions shifting between light and dark.

They considered themselves superior and believed they would eventually surpass Dong Wang Gong, but reality repeatedly dealt them blows, and they watched helplessly as Dong Wang Gong broke through time and time again.

No, this is not a breakthrough.

This is absolutely cheating!

"Heaven is unjust!"

After a long while, Lao Tzu couldn't help but look up and sigh.

"Brother, why don't we take advantage of Donghua's breakthrough now and injure him, thus interrupting his opportunity?"

A hint of malice flashed in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes; he simply couldn't tolerate it!

"Second brother, no! This is a meritorious deed performed by Heaven. If we intervene, it would be tantamount to defying Heaven's will, and we might incur divine punishment!"

Di Jun quickly shook his head, rejecting Donghuang Taiyi's suggestion.

Those who receive divine merit are protected by the Heavenly Dao, and even saints dare not intervene, let alone them.

"hateful!"

Donghuang Taiyi gritted his teeth in resentment and could only give up in bitterness.

"boom!"

At this moment, Dongwanggong and others completed their breakthrough.

The Eastern King Duke successfully entered the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint. The Western Queen Mother and Nuwa also successfully reached the peak of the early Quasi-Saint stage.

The powerful aura of the Eastern King Duke spread out, causing many powerful figures present who had not yet broken through to the Quasi-Saint level to feel a sense of unease.

However, the next moment, everyone stepped forward to congratulate the Eastern King.

"Congratulations on your advancement in cultivation level, Brother Donghua. If you have time in the future, please don't forget to visit my Fire Cloud Palace. I, Hongyun, will personally entertain you."

With a broad smile, Ancestor Hongyun offered his congratulations to Duke Dongwang, while Zhen Yuanzi beside him also laughed heartily.

"Brother Donghua, do you remember to visit my Wuzhuang Temple? Please try the ginseng fruit that I personally planted."

"And this humble Taoist priest."

Almost all the powerful beings set aside their arrogance and conveyed goodwill to the Eastern King.

The Eastern King is now far ahead of all the great powers. Apart from the Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi, who would dare not befriend him?

For a time, the Eastern King Duke enjoyed unparalleled glory.

Looking across the primordial world, apart from Hongjun, no one could rival him.
