Chapter 414: Seven-Star Dou Venerate!
"My disciple Yun Yun and Elder Gu He will hold their wedding in half a month. Starting today, the Yun Lan Sect will widely distribute invitations to guests from all corners!"
Hearing this, all the Yun Lan Sect elders in the hall displayed joyous smiles. The union of Yun Yun and Gu He was something they were delighted to see.
"Congratulations to the Sect Master and Elder Gu He on their auspicious union!"
Suddenly, the Grand Elder Yun Leng took the lead, standing up to offer his blessings to Yun Yun and Gu He.
"Congratulations to Sect Master Yun Yun and Elder Gu He on their happy marriage!"
"Congratulations, Master and Martial Aunt, on your eternal bond, everlasting through time!"
After Yun Leng’s words, everyone in the hall, including Jia Xingtian and his companions, joined in with their heartfelt blessings.
"Thank you all for your kind wishes. Yun'er and I raise a toast to you all!"
Gu He and Yun Yun lifted their wine cups, expressing their gratitude to everyone present.
As Yun Yun and Gu He raised their cups, the entire hall followed suit, and the atmosphere turned lively with laughter and toasts.
...
"Yun Leng!"
After everyone finished their first cup, Yun Shan, seated at the head table, called out to Yun Leng specifically, instructing, "You are the Grand Elder. Pay close attention to the preparations for the wedding. All arrangements for Yun Yun and Gu He must be handled impeccably."
Hearing Yun Shan’s words, Yun Leng’s expression turned serious. Yet, a trace of joy could be seen in his heart as he replied, "Yes, thank you, Old Sect Master, for your trust. I will do my utmost to ensure everything is done perfectly!"
During the banquet, it was decided that Gu He’s four disciples would handle the creation and distribution of wedding invitations. Other arrangements, such as decorating the wedding hall, were largely entrusted to Yun Leng and the other elders.
...
After the banquet, Gu He and Yun Yun returned hand-in-hand to the Nine-Colored Valley.
At this point, Gu He no longer hid much from the world. To outsiders, his four disciples were already renowned: the eldest disciple excelled in alchemy and wielded the Green Lotus Core Flame, the second disciple was a prodigy in cultivation, having already reached the Dou Ancestor realm, and the third and fourth disciples were rare geniuses as well.
Though this openness allowed his disciples to live more freely, it also invited trouble.
Xiao Yi Xian, in particular, drew much attention due to her astonishing cultivation speed. Her rapid progress elicited envy even from families with access to inherited powers. If word of her abilities reached ill-intentioned powerhouses, they might target Gu He and Xiao Yi Xian to uncover their cultivation secrets, creating significant problems.
Fortunately, the region was the Northwest Continent, where Gu He could easily suppress any smaller threats.
What truly concerned him were the major forces that might eventually take notice. Facing these potential dangers, Gu He focused on continually improving his strength, determined to stand unshaken before any threat.
"Husband, you can focus on your closed-door cultivation. I’ll handle everything else," Yun Yun said warmly in the Nine-Colored Valley, her voice full of support.
"Yun'er, you’re so considerate!"
Gu He gently kissed Yun Yun’s pale, flawless cheek and said softly, "I’ll try to keep my cultivation within thirteen days. I promise to be out two days before the wedding."
"Mm!"
"Then I’ll take my leave for now. Once you’ve emerged, we’ll go try on the wedding attire together!"
Yun Yun nodded gently, a faint smile in her eyes as she responded. Then, she left the Nine-Colored Valley.
After Yun Yun’s departure, Gu He immediately immersed his consciousness into the system space.
At the center of the system space, two large purple energy masses, one significantly larger than the other, floated in suspension.
These represented the cultivation returns: 500 years from Queen Medusa and 200 years from Xiao Yi Xian.
Refining the 500 years of cultivation would likely take over a month, so Gu He decided to first absorb the 200 years of cultivation.
"System, extract 200 years of cultivation!"
With Gu He’s command, the smaller purple energy mass in the system space compressed instantly, suddenly appearing within his body.
In that moment, a torrent of overwhelming energy surged through Gu He’s body, wild and uncontrollable. However, thanks to his vast experience in refining such energy, Gu He immediately wrapped his soul power around his Innate Flame and began the aggressive refinement of the turbulent energy.
Under the intense purification of the Innate Flame, streams of pure energy separated from the wild purple currents and were swiftly absorbed into Gu He’s body.
As this process unfolded, Gu He’s aura surged rapidly. Within just two days, he refined one-tenth of the purple energy, breaking through the bottleneck of the five-star Dou Venerate peak, a realm he had been stuck in for two months, and ascending to the six-star Dou Venerate level.
After reaching the six-star Dou Venerate realm, Gu He’s speed of refining the remaining purple energy significantly increased.
In just over ten days, Gu He fully absorbed the remaining energy. His cultivation level rose further, stabilizing at the mid-stage of the seven-star Dou Venerate realm.
"Two hundred years of cultivation allowed me to break through from five-star Dou Venerate peak to mid-stage seven-star Dou Venerate. If I refine the 500 years of cultivation next, I might directly reach the peak of the Dou Venerate realm!" This thought filled Gu He with anticipation.
However, with only two days remaining until his wedding, he decided not to tackle such a massive energy refinement for now.
...
Sect Master Yun Yun’s wedding was an extraordinary event for the entire Yun Lan Sect. Moreover, her groom was Gu He, who held high prestige within the sect. This wedding was undoubtedly set to be the grandest and most celebratory day in the history of the Yun Lan Sect.
Although there were still two days before the wedding, the sect was already immersed in a festive atmosphere. Red lanterns adorned the area, and by nightfall, the entire mountain and the path leading to it were brightly illuminated.
On this brilliantly lit evening, Gu He’s four disciples gathered in a pavilion at the mountaintop.
"Grand Elder Yun Leng mentioned that all the invitations have been sent out—over a thousand of them! Master and Martial Aunt’s wedding is going to be incredibly lively!" Liu Ling, seated on one side of the pavilion, exclaimed excitedly.
"Master said that everyone attending the wedding will receive a three-tier pill as a gift. Such generosity has never been seen in the history of the Jia Ma Empire! Martial Aunt marrying Master is something countless people will envy!" Nalan Yanran said wistfully as she gazed at the moon rising in the sky.
Following her words, Qing Lin chimed in, "Martial Aunt is so beautiful. The fact that Master has won her over will definitely make many people jealous!"
