Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7424

Chapter 7338: Both Go to Cultivate

“This Li Tianming, aside from some issues with his background, is truly flawless in every other aspect. Whether it’s courage or talent, he’s first-rate…”

The Holy War God and the Supreme Emperor Ancestors were all discussing this in hushed tones, without disturbing anyone.

Li Dixiao could sense this, of course, but as long as it was a normal topic, he wouldn’t interfere.

At this moment, among the dozens of Supreme Emperor Ancestors, Hun Dun stepped forward.

He first approached Li Dixiao and solemnly bowed, saying, “Your Majesty, I am honored to preside over the wedding of the two newlyweds, and also honored to perform this duty for Your Majesty.”

“Alright, loyalty needs no formalities, disloyalty is useless with formalities. Just do your job well.” Li Dixiao smiled and waved his hand.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Hun Dun nodded, then took two steps back, coming to the edge of the platform, but facing Li Tianming.

“Today, we have two newlyweds, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi, who will be married. I, Hun Dun, am honored to be invited to preside over this wedding. Under the witness of all the Holy War Gods and Supreme Ancestors present, the two newlyweds will truly become husband and wife. This is hereby announced. Does anyone have any objections?” Hun Dun looked at the crowd and solemnly announced.

After speaking, he waited a moment, and when no one responded, he continued reading.

“Since there are no surprises, and with everyone present as witness, and with the sun and moon as witnesses, the two newlyweds, please step forward!” Hun Dun smiled slightly and gestured.

Li Tianming, supporting Li Chaoxi who wore a red veil, stepped forward.

“First bow—to Heaven and Earth—”

As Hun Dun finished speaking, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi both turned their backs to Li Dixiao and bowed slightly.

“This bow is to all things in the world, to the vastness of the starry universe, and to the smooth progress of your cultivation paths!” Hun Dun stroked his beard and said with a smile.

At this moment, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi turned to face Li Dixiao and Li Yuhuan.

Hun Dun then spoke, “Second bow—to the parents—”

Li Tianming guided Li Chaoxi, whose vision was obstructed, to bow again.

“This bow is to honor the kindness of our parents in raising us, and to honor the harmony and unity of our family,” Hun Dun said loudly again.

At this moment, Li Dixiao smiled calmly, and Li Yuhuan’s lips also slightly turned up.

“Next, husband and wife bow to each other—” Hun Dun smiled and raised his hand to indicate.

Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi turned to face each other. Li Chaoxi wanted to take a step back slightly to avoid bumping heads during the bow, but she almost stepped on her skirt.

Li Tianming helped her up, patted the back of her hand, and took two steps back himself to create more distance.

Then, they bowed together.

This time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li Chaoxi bowed even lower.

Seeing this, Li Yuhuan smiled even more gently.

“Thus, the ceremony is complete. I once again congratulate you both, wishing you a lifelong bond and companionship on your cultivation journey,” Hun Dun said with a kind smile.

“Thank you, Emperor Ancestor Hun Dun,” Li Tianming said with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.

Hun Dun then looked at Li Dixiao on the high platform and cupped his hands,

saying, “My duties are complete, I will now take my leave.” “Do as you please,” Li Yuhuan waved her hand.

Li Dixiao stood up at this moment, and as he did, everyone present, those who were seated, instinctively stood up as well, whether they were the Holy War God or the Supreme Emperor Ancestor.

Facing the crowd, Li Dixiao smiled slightly and said, “Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend.”

As his words fell, all the top experts around him bowed slightly.

A cacophony of voices arose from the crowd.

“We dare not accept such praise; it is our honor to witness this wedding.”

“Your Majesty, please do not speak so rudely; your subjects are terrified.”

“If our presence can add a little more liveliness to this wedding ceremony, then our trip will not have been in vain.”

Everyone maintained respect for Li Dixiao, a powerful figure within the Li imperial clan, and regardless of their inner thoughts, they dared not show the slightest disrespect on the surface.

“Now, the ceremony is complete, and the marriage is finished. If anyone has anything else to attend to, you may leave as you see fit,” Li Dixiao said to the crowd.

At this moment, the Supreme Emperor Ancestor and the Holy War Gods exchanged glances, instantly understanding the meaning, and all chose to leave the Holy War God Temple.

Soon, only Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi’s family remained inside the Holy War God Temple.

After sensing that all the surrounding auras had left, Li Chaoxi subconsciously reached out, wanting to remove the red veil that had covered her head for so long.

But just as she raised her hand, she lowered it again, as if remembering something.

Li Dixiao suddenly softened his tone, saying, “Xi’er, remember, after you’re married, you need to be less willful. Discuss things with Tianming more often, don’t be impulsive, understand?”

Li Chaoxi nodded emphatically under her red veil.

“Alright, now all that’s left is to send you two to Tianming Residence. Let’s go,” Li Yuhuan said gently.

The grand scene seemed to suddenly quiet down after the wedding ceremony.

The family’s small procession walked out of the Holy War Temple, preparing to head towards the War God Residence.

On the way, seeing the atmosphere was somewhat calm, Li Chaohui spoke up beside Li Tianming, “Brother-in-law, aren’t you puzzled?”

“Puzzled about what?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat surprised.

Li Zhaohui whispered, “That’s right, my sister’s wedding with you was a bit too simple, missing many details, not even gifts or a banquet.”

“What does it matter? Even the Li family’s imperial decree and my father-in-law directly gave it to me. There’s a reason they didn’t do those things,” Li Tianming said nonchalantly.

The most important thing was the sham marriage, so he cared even less.

“Uh… anyway, it’s actually our special rule…” Li Zhaohui wanted to continue, but stopped himself, finally saying hesitantly, “In short, we don’t mean to be careless, please rest assured.”

“Why think so much? I didn’t care at all,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

He found the other party’s cautious ‘information’ somewhat amusing.

In fact, the meaning behind it was clear to everyone, and Li Tianming didn’t need anyone’s reminder.

On the way out of the Holy War Temple, the powerful figures like the Supreme Emperor Ancestor hadn’t gone far, and Li Tianming could still observe their private discussions through Yin Chen.

“Li Tianming’s background is very strange. What he’s shown to everyone so far is that his background is his wife, but is that really the case?”

Although Li Tianming claimed his wife completely obeyed him, many remained skeptical.

“I think it’s unlikely. How could someone with unparalleled power be so subservient to a weakling? There are plenty of good-looking people in the world; does Li Tianming really possess that unattainable good fortune?”

This was the prevailing opinion.

Such a scenario might exist, but even the powerful figures within the Heavenly Emperor Sect didn’t necessarily believe it would happen to Li Tianming.

In any case, during the wedding ceremony, Li Chaoxi had her parents as her elders, but Li Tianming’s ‘wife’ couldn’t be represented as such.

With such a powerful background, yet no one was willing to assume the position of elder during the ceremony—

this seemed somewhat bizarre to many.

“Perhaps it’s precisely because of his strange background that they can’t truly trust him, which is why they can’t hold the wedding in the Imperial Domain?”

“That’s why the banquet and gifts are meaningless. After all, it’s the Empress’s family, not the Li Imperial Clan, that’s accepting him. If they really went that far, it might not be as dignified as it is now, and could even become a source of conflict.”

“At least, holding the wedding within the Heavenly Emperor Sect is equivalent to the Empress marrying down, and the Li Imperial Clan can accept that.”

A group of powerful figures were secretly observing Li Tianming and his group.

Of course, their opinions were irrelevant to Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi’s family.

Li Dixiao had his own formidable strength and confidence, and Li Chaoxi was carefree and unafraid of such comments.

Soon, Li Dixiao and the others escorted Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi to the War God’s Abode.

After saying goodbye, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi entered this place, which had been renamed Tianming Abode.

As soon as they entered, Li Chaoxi became anxious and took Li Tianming’s hand

, pressing it to her head. “Tianming, take this off! It’s been so uncomfortable on the way here,” Li Chaoxi complained. “

Senior Sister Chaoxi, there’s no one else here. You can just take it yourself,” Li Tianming said, somewhat amused.

“No, you have to do it. My mother specifically instructed me to do it. Besides, even in a fake marriage, we need to respect each other. We need to get used to this so it won’t be exposed,” Li Chaoxi said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Tianming removed the red veil, revealing Li Chaoxi’s adorned and styled hair.

She winked at Li Tianming and said, “Well, now that we’ve finished dealing with all this troublesome stuff, how about we do something fun?”

“What is it?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat bewildered.

Li Chaoxi raised her hand to poke Li Tianming’s head, but he dodged it instantly. She then said, “Cultivation! Now that we both have excellent resources, we definitely need to make good use of them.”

“Really? So eager?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat surprised.

“I finally got the Hundred Star Palace, I definitely need to try it out right away! Because of your help in resisting the beast tides several times, and my own participation in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, I now have the status of a Hundred Star War God!” Li Chaoxi said with burning eyes.

“Alright! Let’s go then!” Li Tianming smiled and nodded.

The two hit it off immediately, still wearing their wedding attire, and hurriedly headed to the Heavenly Emperor Star Palace.

Regardless of outside opinions, the two Hundred Star War Gods happily went to cultivate, leaving everything else behind.
