Chapter 20: Purple Mountain Saint, Turning the Grand Wedding into a Grand Mourning
“Is that Immortal Ancestor Changsheng?”
“He looks so young and vibrant. More handsome and captivating than any prodigy!”
“That’s a Saint with a lifespan of fifty thousand years. He can command all beings with a snap of his fingers.”
“It’s my first time witnessing the birth of a Saint, and it’s during a grand wedding!”
“That girl from the Gu family is fortunate. She’s marrying a Saint Ancestor and one so young and handsome!”
At various wedding banquets, immortal palaces, and on the platforms of different palaces, powerful figures from various forces and numerous prodigies, goddesses, and fairies couldn’t help but show a hint of shock when they saw Su Changsheng. Especially those fairies and goddesses. One by one, they revealed a stunning expression. They couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
Being the wife of a Saint Ancestor and still so young and beautiful, her status was comparable with the leaders of the top forces. Moreover, as the wife of a Saint, the resources Gu Qingge could obtain would be vast. From the moment she married Su Changsheng, Gu Qingge had already reached the pinnacle of the young generation in the True Saint Continent.
For most of the young generation, their future would only reach the Eternal Realm, with only a few becoming the masters of a sect. However, it was extremely difficult to become a Saint. Even with a Divine Body, although they had the potential to become a Saint, there were countless difficulties and obstacles along the cultivation path. Their aptitude might not be able to carry them to the end.
But Gu Qingge had a Saint Ancestor to protect and guide her. At the very least, her future would be that of a Semi-Saint. Therefore the goddesses and fairies of the top forces envied and resented her.
“Su Changsheng!”
“It’s him. I didn’t expect him to become a Saint. He doesn’t even have a strong background!”
“One step to sainthood. From now on, we are no longer in the same league. In the end, we still can’t compare to him!”
“Envy him for his fifty thousand years of lifespan!”
The leaders of the top forces couldn’t help but cast their gazes over. Seeing Su Changsheng’s youthful and handsome appearance and the aura of youthful vigor emanating from him, they felt a tinge of jealousy.
They were all Semi-Saint powerhouses, contemporaries of Su Changsheng, or even figures from two thousand years ago. Moreover, their backgrounds were much stronger than Su Changsheng’s. They had abundant resources, techniques and even received guidance from Saint Ancestors. But even so, they were still far from reaching the realm of a Saint, and they couldn’t even see a glimmer of hope.
Seeing Su Changsheng surpassing them in all aspects and becoming a Saint, their emotions naturally became extremely complicated and envious.
How fortunate! The White Cloud Ancestor thought as he looked at Su Changsheng’s youthful face. Even in his clouded eyes, there was a hint of envy.
He was already over nine thousand years old, not far from his end. However, he still couldn’t see a glimmer of hope for reaching the realm of a Saint. He couldn’t succeed in this lifetime.
“Ugh!”
At the same time, on the scene, Gu Qingge, dressed in a bride’s gown with bridal makeup, covered by a red veil, was beautiful and moving, but at this moment, she felt like crying without tears. She didn’t want to get married!
After going through a rebirth, she wanted to focus on cultivating, rising up, and surpassing her past life. But before she even had a chance to make an effort, she was suppressed and taken down by this person, Su Changsheng.
“Curse you, Su Changsheng!”
Gu Qingge gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted to lift the red veil and throw it directly on Su Changsheng’s head, shouting that she wouldn’t marry him. But unfortunately, Su Changsheng had already sealed her cultivation, and she couldn’t break free. She could only be manipulated by Su Changsheng like a puppet on a string.
…
The Ten Thousand Beast Sect was majestic, with vast mountain ranges and towering peaks echoing the roars of countless beasts. In the sect’s ancestral land, the Sect Master respectfully stood to the side, gazing in awe at the depths of a cave emitting divine lights and rolling mists. A terrifying aura emanated from within, ready to unleash earth-shattering power at any moment.
The Sect Master didn’t know how long it would take for the Patriarch to emerge from the cave. He thought about the Patriarch using the Saint-slaying Bow with longing in his eyes. This holy artifact was unmatched in strength and had slain multiple Saints, making it a formidable weapon against Su Changsheng, a newly ascended Saint.
The thought of the Patriarch about to slay a Saint filled the Sect Master with excitement. He believed that after today, the Ten Thousand Beast Sect would once again make waves in the True Saint Continent and the surrounding regions.
As the Patriarch emerged from seclusion, a terrifying aura overwhelmed the sky, causing even the Semi-Saint Sect Master to tremble in fear. However, he was delighted to see the Patriarch coming out of seclusion.
With heavy footsteps echoing in the cave, the Patriarch’s cultivation proved too terrifying. Even a few faint footsteps almost overwhelmed the Semi-Saint Sect Master, causing him to turn pale and feel the urge to vomit blood. This revelation shocked him deeply, realizing the true power of the Patriarch’s cultivation.
Soon, a tall and strong figure appeared, dressed in rugged clothing made of fierce beast hides, with a full beard on his face and a very robust physique. Behind him, he carried a large crimson bow on his back. The bow was blood-red, and mysterious energy surged along the bowstring, containing an incredibly terrifying power.
Despite his aged appearance, he emitted a horrifying aura, causing even a Semi-Saint to tremble in fear when looking into his icy-cold eyes.
“Greetings, Patriarch Zishan!” The leader of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect respectfully saluted, his heart trembling as he recognized the origin of this Saint Patriarch.
It was none other than Zishan, a Saint who had attained enlightenment over thirty thousand years ago. Over ten thousand years ago, he had wielded the Saint-slaying Bow and defeated a Saint-level fierce beast!
Saint Patriarchs rarely left seclusion, either seeking breakthrough opportunities or remaining hidden. It was extremely difficult for even a prestigious Sect Master to meet one.
This was the Sect Master’s second time meeting a Saint Patriarch!
“Hmm,” Patriarch Zishan responded calmly, his gaze not falling upon the Sect Master but looking into the distance, towards the territory of the Su family.
“Where is Su Changsheng?” Zishan asked softly.
“Patriarch, today is the day of Su’s grand wedding. Su Changsheng must be enjoying the bliss of the wedding celebration!” The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect respectfully explained, bowing.
“A grand wedding? Offending my Ten Thousand Beast Sect, yet still in the mood to hold a wedding feast without seeking forgiveness?” Zishan raised an eyebrow, his gaze turning colder. “Then let the grand wedding turn into a grand funeral!” he declared.
Zishan lifted his hand, took down the large bow from his back, and caressed the massive bow body, feeling the blood-like sensation. He sneered. “My elder brother is at a critical moment in his cultivation breakthrough. Originally, he needed the blood of an ancient Saint-level fierce beast to make a breakthrough. Although Su Changsheng is not a fierce beast, the essence of a newly ascended Saint should be enough!”
Therefore he emerged from seclusion and brought the Saint-slaying Bow.
His elder brother, another Saint Patriarch of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, was on the verge of breaking through to the Fourth Heaven of Saints. Once he succeeded in the breakthrough, it would be a whole new world. His strength would be two to three times that of the Third Heaven. At that time, the power of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect would further rise and might even approach the level of the Lingxu Sword Sect.
“Impressive, Patriarch!” Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect trembled in his heart. He didn’t expect the Patriarch to emerge for this reason.
