Chapter 344 The wedding officiant, merit descends from heaven!
After the sage Nuwa was seated, commotion once again came from the sky.
Then, three beams of supreme pure light arrived together.
In an instant, the profound Taoist aura permeated the air, and all paths resonated in harmony!
Then, the chanting of ceremonies began in great numbers:
"The Sage of Taiqing, the Sage of Yuqing, and the Sage of Shangqing have arrived!"
In a short while, the Three Pure Ones descended.
Upon seeing this, all the guests, regardless of their status, stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone."
"My two brothers and I are here today to officiate at the wedding of my apprentice, Niu Ben."
The Supreme Sage smiled and glanced at the guests present.
Upon hearing this, many powerful figures were shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the person officiating at Niu Ben's wedding was none other than the Three Pure Ones.
Such an honor is unique in the entire primordial world!
Just then, another commotion came from the sky.
Soon after, people from the underworld came to offer their congratulations.
Leading the group was Xuandu, followed by disciples from the three religions, including Chijingzi, Huanglong, and Jinling Shengmu.
Although they are disciples of the Three Pure Ones, they also serve in the Underworld.
As the lord of the underworld, Niu Ben was naturally the one to come and offer his congratulations.
Seeing these scenes, all the creatures present were deeply moved.
"For this grand wedding, all the prominent figures in the primordial world were present."
"The Ox Clan has produced the Venerable Ox-Ben; their future prosperity is assured."
"This is much more extravagant than the Demon Emperor's wedding back then."
"All six sages of the heavens were present, and the Three Pure Ones even officiated at the wedding."
"..."
Numerous creatures were amazed.
Amid the discussions, everyone assumed that the Three Pure Ones were about to preside over the grand wedding.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, auspicious omens appeared again in the sky.
Then, the chaotic golden light descended, and from within that light, two figures appeared.
These two were children, one male and one female.
The boy is handsome and steady, while the girl is beautiful and elegant.
Although they were only at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, they wore the unique Daoist-patterned robes of the Zixiao Palace, held whisks and jade cups, and exuded a mysterious Daoist charm that was in harmony with the Dao of Heaven.
It was Haotian and Yaochi, the attendants of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"By order of the Master, I have come to congratulate Senior Brother Niu Ben on his wedding."
"The master said that today's wedding is a grand event for the Xuanmen sect, a joyous occasion for heaven and earth."
"Blessed with three streams of pure purple energy, may the newlyweds advance together on their spiritual path and forever be of one heart and mind."
Before the announcement of the ceremony could be made, Haotian spoke solemnly.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
"this?"
"Even the Dao Ancestor sent someone to offer congratulations?"
"A true joy for heaven and earth!"
"..."
Many living beings were deeply shocked.
Although the Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not come in person, he sent his closest attendants to deliver the decree and blessings!
What does this mean?
Anyone could see that even the Dao Ancestor greatly favored and valued Niu Ben, this newly ascended Hunyuan.
Shocked, Niu Ba quickly snapped out of his daze and strode forward to welcome Haotian and Yaochi to their seats.
As the guests arrived, the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances, and then, in a flash, landed on the stage.
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
The Supreme Sage proclaimed.
The sound was heard, and celestial music began to play.
Immediately following, under the spotlight of countless eyes, two figures emerged hand in hand from the sky ablaze with rosy light and auspicious omens.
The two rode on auspicious, colorful clouds and slowly flew towards the wedding platform.
The groom, Niu Ben, wore a black wedding robe with gold patterns.
He wore a purple-gold crown, had a handsome and resolute face, and possessed an aura as deep as the sea.
The majesty unique to the Primordial Great Luo was naturally revealed.
The bride, Xihe, wore a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe woven from moonlight and starlight.
She wore a moon crown, and although her face was veiled by a light gauze, it could not conceal her stunning beauty.
Xihe exuded a gentle and moving aura, with streams of moonlight flowing around her, pure and holy.
Upon seeing Niu Ben and Xi He appear, everyone present was spontaneously excited.
Before long, the two walked hand in hand onto the high platform.
Upon seeing this, the Three Pure Ones nodded slightly, their faces beaming with smiles.
After a slight pause, the Supreme Sage stepped forward and proclaimed:
"The auspicious time has arrived; a perfect match has been made."
"Now there is a disciple of the Xuanmen, Niu Ben, and the Taiyin Immortal Xihe, who are kindred spirits and share the same Daoist heart. They wish to become Daoist partners, to jointly study the Great Dao, and to jointly attain eternity."
"Heaven and earth bear witness, all living beings are the judge!"
"..."
"The grand wedding is a success!"
As the last four words of "Supreme One" fell.
A sudden change occurred in the heavens.
"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, golden clouds of merit appeared.
Before long, the golden light of merit descended, completely enveloping Niu Ben and Xi He.
The guests present were all shocked by this scene.
"this?"
"Heaven bestows merit?"
"Even the Heavenly Dao has come to offer its congratulations?"
"..."
Numerous creatures gasped in astonishment, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Only the saints knew that this merit was not bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, but rather from the arm of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
After all, while others may not know this, their sages are well aware of it.
Previously, when Niu Ben was attaining the Primordial Dao in the Underworld, the will of Heaven descended and attempted to completely annihilate Niu Ben, but was ultimately stopped by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Today, Niu Ben and Xi He are getting married, so naturally Heaven will not bestow blessings upon them.
But since merits were bestowed, there is only one explanation: it was arranged by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"Giggle..."
During the banquet, Di Jun saw Niu Ben and Xi He bathing in the golden rain of merit, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
It's clear that the merit bestowed upon him is far greater and purer than the merit he received when he held his heavenly marriage with the Tushan Blood Fox.
"hateful!"
"Why should I?"
"Is it because he attained the Primordial Chaos Realm?"
Di Jun was secretly resentful, his displeasure reaching its peak, but he was helpless.
After the grand wedding ceremony, the wedding banquet began.
The guests came forward one after another to offer their blessings to Niu Ben and Xi He.
Finally, this grand and joyous wedding ceremony came to a successful close.
After the guests left, Niu Ben led Xihe closer to the Three Pure Ones.
"Niu Ben bows in gratitude to his master and uncle!"
"Xihe bows in gratitude to the three sages who officiated at the wedding!"
Upon hearing this, the three Pure Ones exchanged a smile.
Then, the Supreme Sage spoke:
"My disciple."
"Now that you are a Hunyuan and have a family, you should be more mature and composed."
"The affairs of the underworld must be handled with care."
Niu Ben nodded, but before he could reply, the Primordial Sage continued:
"If you have any questions, return to Penglai."
Then, Tongtian said:
"Little Niu Ben, hurry up and have a baby boy!"
"Send it to Penglai when the time comes, and let me, your grand-uncle, give it a good lesson."
Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Niu Ben gave an awkward laugh, while Xihe, standing to the side, blushed deeply with embarrassment.
Then, the Three Pure Ones did not linger and transformed into a beam of light, departing.
