Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 432: Wedding

Chapter 432: Wedding

Wang Wei rushed to one of the biggest mansions in the inner area. And as soon as he arrived, he saw a beautiful woman lying down on a reclining chair, her long legs hanging down as if dancing with the wind.

With a smile on his face, he immediately squeezed onto the chair so that the two were hugging each other.

"Looks like you're all patched up now?"

"Yes, I am a new and improved man."

"That's good."

"Are you alright? You don't sound like your usual self?"

"No, it's just that something frustrating happened when I was trying to find the Fate Stone."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"It's nothing serious. My memory is failing me,' replied Wu Hong as she handed him a silver stone.

Wang Wei took the stone with his left while caressing her face and hair.

"Are you sure you're right?"

"I'm fine. It is frustrating to know that you should know something but cannot remember no matter what. However, now is not the time for a negative mood since our wedding is coming soon."

Wu Hong could not help but think of their wedding in the previous timeline. At that time, countless Paragons, Empyreans, and Great Emperors came to attend bringing lavish gifts. Not to mention Dao Monarchs and Immortal Kings.

And these powerful people did not only come from the Eternal Ascension World but also different worlds in Chaos. Auspicious clouds surrounded the entire upper dimension for 10,000 years to celebrate the union of these two Boundless Paragons.

Many people were blessed and had their cultivation drastically increased, and even increase in lifespans for the mortals. In general, it was an extravagant wedding.

However, this time around, the two decided on a small wedding with friends and families. And a small ceremony will be more than enough.

While thinking about this, Wu Hong could not help but smile. Personally, she did not care about the size of the wedding. Her younger self would have wanted a grand wedding with her personality or mental state that she was worthy of the best things in the world.

However, as she grow older and wiser, she became calmer and more confident in herself, so such things had little impact on her. However, Wang Wei insisted on throwing such a wedding to show his affection for her, so she agreed.

However, in this timeline, both of them wanted their wedding to be more intimate, hence the small size.

"I just had a great idea," suddenly said, Wang Wei.

"What is it?"

"Why don't you change your hair color to match mine? That way we can be matched as a couple."

Wu Hong turned to look straight at him in the eyes:

"Why don't you change your hair color to match mine?"

"But I love my hair color, it's so much cooler."

"And I love mine," replied Wu Hong.

"Alright, no need to be annoyed, it was just a suggestion." Wang Wei knew best not to anger the person that will control his love life in the future; he has learned a great deal from his father.

Plus, he was still counting on her to let him be on top once in a while, so he would never ruin his little opportunity by saying or doing something stupid.

So, he immediately changed the subject by handing the sealing orb of the previous assassin to her.

"Know anything about this?"

"The rats from the Dao Burial Ground?"

"So, the Shadow Slaying Temple is related to them."

"Indeed," replied Wu Hong as she looked at the orb.

"So, what's the deal with that forbidden zone?"

"There are a few Emperors who sealed themselves inside, and even an Eternal Emperor might be the real leader."

"Oh, why are they doing this?" asked Wang Wei in puzzlement.

"Fear," replied Wu Hong with a sneer. "The majority of them were losers who could not make it in the Upper Realm. And after dying there, they banded together to resurrect in that place, slowly swallowing the source of the world to cultivate."

"What is the reason for slaughtering so many people once in a while?"

"I do not know exactly, but it should be nothing good."

Wu Hong paused for a moment before saying: "I will find a way to find the hiding place of these cockroaches. When you prove the Dao, even if they run away, you can find them and eliminate these scourges for good."

After she proved the Dao, the people in the Dao Burial Ground ran away, and even with her method, she could not find them.

"Will that Eternal Emperor be a problem?"

"The moment he decided to run away from the competition of the upper realm for his survival, he had already lost the Heart of a Powerhouse. So, don't worry about it."

Wang Wei nodded, then, the two chatted about many things before going to prepare for the wedding. Although the ceremony was only for friends and family, notifications were sent to all the Emperor Lineages of this union.

After all, the next sect master of the Dao Opening Sect was getting married. People have to know. Because of this, countless gifts were sent to the Yu Clan's city from these lineages.

And even smaller sects sent presents once they learned of the news. Although these guys wished an actual wedding took place so that they could have a chance to meet some powerful people and make some connections.

A month later, the auspicious day for the wedding finally arrived.

Wu Hong and Wang Wei were both dressed in all red with all the upper echelons of the Dao Opening Sect and the Yu clan attended. An altar was placed in the middle of the room.

The couple held hands while standing at the front. Wang Wei's grandfather said out loud: "Bow to the parents."

The two of them moved their bodies to bow Wang Chang, Wang Tian, Yu Yan, Yun Zhaojun, and another old man who had a very long white beard, dressed in a yellow robe; this man was Yu Yong, and he was Wang Wei's grandfather on his mother's side.

Once they bow to these people, the two of them move to bow to Wu Feng, the guardian of the Nine Devil God. Wu Hong's mortal parents are long gone, so he took their places and represented her.

Of course, Wu Feng was crying inside as he knew the identity and status of Wu Hong. If she did not ask him to come and persuaded him with strong words, he would never dare come here, let alone receive a bow from her.

"Bow to the Dao," yelled Wang Chang.

Usually, in such a ceremony, the couples would bow to Heaven, unfortunately, none of the wedding couples wanted so. Wu Hong did not think that Heaven could withstand a bow from her, and Wang Wei had a rocky relationship with Heavenly Dao.

So, as a compromise, they bow to the Grand Dao.

After the couple bowed to the altar in the room, Wang Chang continued: "Bow to each other."

The two faced each other and smiled before bowing to one another. Finally, Yu Yan took a red string and tie the pinky finger of each of them. This part of the ceremony was the Dao Companion's Vow.

"May Grand Dao is our witness," said the two in unison. "On this day, we take the oath to become companions, to support one another no matter the circumstance: in health, sickness, danger, wealth, and opportunity.

"And this oath is binding to the ends of time. To the end of the Dao."

The red string tied to their fingers then lit up and floated in the air. One end entered Wang Wei's forehead while the other Wu Hong's, then, disappeared.

The two then held each other before kissing. This was supposed to be a little kiss, but these two were a little too passionate. In the end, Wang Chang had to cough out loud to remind them where they were.

It was at this time that Wang Wei noticed that the sky had changed. A purple cloud enveloped the entire Yu Clan's Domain. These auspicious clouds did not have any benefit, but it was quite pleasing to the eyes. This was an acknowledgment of Heaven and Earth of the union of these two people--even if they disrespected it.

After all, who was Wu Hong? Can the wedding of such a person be ordinary? Plus, Heavenly Dao did not have emotions and did not care that much whether cultivators respected it or not. At least when they are not detrimental to the order of the world.

After the ceremony was the wedding party where everybody tried to get both the broom and the bride drunk. Wang Tian set the rule that no one can use their Origin Essence to remove the alcohol from their bodies, and even asked Wu Hong to seal the fleshly bodies of the body refiners to remove their natural resistance to alcohol.

Unfortunately, even with these disadvantages, Wang Wei still drank more than everybody else while still remaining conscious–even though everybody was trying to compete with him at the same time.

All he could say was that these people did not know the pain in trying to move up the ladder in the Republic. Every time he met with a client or government official, he had to take them drinking.

And refusing to drink was a sign of rudeness–especially when he first graduated and was a new junior in the company. So, he had quite the high threshold for alcohol–well, he had to otherwise he might not have made it.

After everyone passed out–mostly the mean–he headed to the Wedding Chambers. He had been dreaming and waiting about this moment for far too long.
