Dawn broke over the Azure Cloud Sect.
Although the day might have seemed like any other to others, this was a special day in the Azure Cloud Sect.
Disciples hurried through the courtyards with excitement, carrying red silk banners, spirit flowers, and glowing lanterns. Today was not just any day - it was the day when their favorite ship would get together frfr.
Their Grand Elder Xiang Yu and Sect Master Li Yao were getting married.
The Secondary Professions Pavilion had been completely transformed just like before.
In the MASSIVE circular courtyard, neat rows of cushioned seats were arranged around a magnificent central altar. Red silk banners fluttered in the gentle breeze and spirit flowers created a carpet of gold and crimson petals across the stone floors.
The altar itself was carved from pure white jade, decorated with spirit flowers that pulsed with a soft golden light every few seconds.
...
Xiang Yu stood before his new house that looked more like a castle than an actual house, admiring the magnificent structure.
As he gazed at what would soon be his and Li Yaoâs shared home, he sensed someone approaching.
He turned to look around. "Is it time?" he wondered.
As he was preparing to go welcome the visitor, he suddenly noticed his skinâs strange appearance that looked like a space map. He quickly deployed his void silk that was acting as his clothes. The garments started vibrating before seeming to melt into his skin.
Then his entire body was covered in the void silk substance, creating a second skin.
Slowly, his skin started returning to normal human appearance, the strange space patterns fading away. When his entire body looked normal again, the void silk covering his skin started moving slightly, rippling like water. It then suddenly burst outward, dressing him up in magnificent wedding robes.
It was then that Elder Guo arrived, his own formal robes rustling softly as he approached.
"Master, youâre here," Xiang Yu said with a bow.
Elder Guo didnât respond immediately and walked over slowly, examining his disciple with careful eyes. He thought to himself that this boy was actually ready, he had expected to find him training and still not prepared.
It seemed he had truly grown up.
He sighed quietly. Things had really changed over the past two months.
Before, he would still have been worried that Xiang Yu wasnât ready, but it would have been for being lazy, not for being so obsessed with training that he might forget everything else. He shook his head at how much had changed.
He then walked over to Xiang Yu and fixed up his robes slightly, adjusting the collar and smoothing down a wrinkle. He wiped off a small speck of dust with his hand and nodded approvingly.
"Good. Letâs not keep the guests waiting, especially after inviting them on such short notice," he said with a small smile.
...
...
By mid-morning, guests had begun arriving from across the eastern region.
And to everyoneâs surprise, even guests from beyond the eastern continent had arrived. People from the western, southern, northern, and even the mighty central continent had come to attend the wedding.
Those who came from the central continent werenât important people like the holy land sect master but were still equally as important. Many of them were delegates from the ten great families here to scope out the scene and see if this tiny sect that had become popular all of a sudden was really worth anything.
Of course, spies from the holy lands were also here. The Azure Cloud Sectâs intelligence network already knew of them but let them in by the grand elderâs orders who could sense that they were not strong. As for the threat of information leaking, Xiang Yu didnât think anything of it, in fact, he wanted information to leak.
In the Azure Cloud Sect, there were a few places where branches of the spirit vein leaked immortal energy. Xiang Yu had dropped the concealment formation in one of the locations and was hoping that one of the spies could pick up on the subtle immortal energy and assume that they still had the immortal treasure.
He didnât know if it would actually work though...
