Soft Feather, resplendent in her bridal attire, gracefully settled into the embrace of the grand ceremonial sedan known as the "Golden Phoenix Sedan." The sedan exuded an air of regality, its golden accents shimmering under the sunlight, as if touched by the celestial heavens themselves. Luxurious fabrics adorned its interior, inviting Soft Feather to immerse herself in its opulence. Intricate carvings, meticulously crafted, depicted scenes of love, prosperity, and harmony, symbolizing the blessings that awaited the newlyweds.
As Soft Feather took her seat, her heart swelled with a mix of excitement and a touch of apprehension. The sedan, carried by four bearers, stood ready to embark on the grand wedding procession. Each bearer had been chosen for this honorable duty, their presence a testament to the importance of the occasion.
Among the bearers, Liu Jianyi, Spirit Butterfly's successor disciple, reluctantly took his place. With a perpetual sleepy expression, he had been coerced into the task, much to his chagrin. His disheveled appearance and half-closed eyes contrasted with the meticulousness of the sedan, adding a touch of whimsy to the procession.
Accompanying Liu Jianyi were three members from the Nine Provinces (1) Group. Venerable Spirit Butterfly, having grown weary of Trice Reckless Mad Saber's incessant harassment, decided to make use of the occasion by assigning him to the role of a bearer. Trice Reckless Mad Saber, though begrudgingly, accepted his fate, determined to make the best of an unexpected situation. Copper Trigram, known for his fraudulent divination attempts, found himself enlisted as well. Similar to Trice Reckless, he was forced due to one of his fake divination's resulting in a loss for the Venerable. Skylark, volunteered to join them, drawn by the allure of spending time with Trice Reckless Mad Saber's.
With Soft Feather comfortably settled inside the sedan, the bearers prepared themselves for the journey ahead. A collective breath filled the air as they lifted the sedan, their movements synchronized and purposeful. The weight of the sedan seemed to disappear as they carried it with reverence, mindful of their role in ensuring Soft Feather's safe passage to the ceremony.
The doors of the grand ceremonial hall swung open, and a wave of anticipation swept through the gathered crowd. The atmosphere crackled with excitement as the wedding procession emerged, a breathtaking display of grandeur and reverence.
The Golden Phoenix Sedan, carried by the chosen bearers, glided gracefully forward, like a majestic bird taking flight. Soft Feather, adorned in her resplendent bridal attire, sat inside the sedan, her heart aflutter with a mixture of joy and nervousness. As the sedan moved, she could feel the eyes of the courtiers and dignitaries upon her, their gazes filled with admiration and awe.
The wedding procession unfolded with an opulence befitting the union of an emperor and his empress. Musicians and dancers accompanied the procession, their melodies and graceful movements adding an ethereal touch to the spectacle. The vibrant colors of the dancers' costumes swirled through the air, harmonizing with the melodies that resonated from their instruments.
The procession started from Spirit Butterfly Island, Soft Feather's home, and was destined to reach the Heavenly Court. Flying through the air, the islands seemed to merge seamlessly, creating a magical path for the bride's journey.
The bride was not alone in this momentous journey. She was escorted by high-ranking officials and trusted courtiers, carefully chosen by the emperor himself. The Great Emperors of the four Cardinal Directions, Southern Great Emperor, Western Great Emperor, Northern Great Emperor, and Eastern Great Emperor, walked alongside the sedan, their presence a symbol of honor, protection, and unity.
As news of the grand wedding procession spread, people from far and wide flocked to witness this extraordinary event. Many who had initially relied on the live stream from the Eight Stage Sermon now gathered near the flying island, drawn by the desire to witness firsthand the union of the heavenly couple. Some Cultivators with mastery of space powers teleported to the vicinity, eager to catch a glimpse of the celestial procession.
The procession continued, crossing the boundaries between realms and soaring towards the Heavenly Court. Each moment was etched into the memories of those fortunate enough to witness it, an awe-inspiring testament to the power of love and the splendor of unity.
As the grand wedding procession entered the Heavenly City, a sense of awe and reverence permeated the air. The significance of the moment was not lost on anyone present. Soft Feather, still seated within the Golden Phoenix Sedan, observed the breathtaking scene unfolding before her.
A specially designated pathway awaited the bride, a testament to her elevated status as the future empress. Covered with vibrant silk carpets that flowed like rivers of color and adorned with meticulously arranged floral arrangements, the pathway created a visual symphony of beauty and grandeur. Each step taken along this sacred pathway brought Soft Feather closer to her destiny.
Imperial guards and courtiers lined the pathway, standing in respectful silence as the procession approached. Their presence added an air of solemnity and reverence to the occasion. As the bearers of the sedan stepped forward, carefully navigating the path, the guards and courtiers bowed in unison, acknowledging the presence of the bride. Their gestures were a display of utmost respect and honor, acknowledging the sacredness of the moment.
Soft Feather watched with a mixture of gratitude and humility as she passed by the assembled courtiers. Their admiration and anticipation were palpable, and Soft Feather felt a deep sense of responsibility settling upon her shoulders. The weight of her new role as the empress was beginning to truly sink in.
Meanwhile, the members of the Heavenly Court, both high-ranking and low ranking cultivators, had gathered on either side of the pathway. Eager to catch a glimpse of their new empress, they stood in silent reverence, their eyes fixed upon Soft Feather. The energy in the air crackled with excitement and anticipation, as they eagerly awaited her arrival.
The sedan bearers, walking with measured steps, carried the Golden Phoenix Sedan along the pathway. Their synchronized movements reflected the importance of the occasion and the sacredness of their task. Soft Feather, surrounded by the beauty of the sedan, felt a profound sense of being part of something greater than herself.
With every step, Soft Feather's heart beat faster, the anticipation building within her. Soon, she would reach the ceremonial hall, where she would stand before Zenith Heaven Emperor, her beloved, to exchange vows and embark on a lifetime of shared dreams and destinies.
As Soft Feather neared the end of the pathway, she could see the ceremonial hall, its majestic doors open wide, welcoming her into its sacred space. Her eyes sparkled with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She took a deep breath, drawing upon the strength that resided within her.
Upon reaching the ceremonial hall, the atmosphere brimmed with anticipation and reverence. The Golden Phoenix Sedan, bearing Soft Feather, came to a graceful halt, signaling the culmination of the grand wedding procession. As the sedan bearers lowered the ornate conveyance, Soft Feather's heart fluttered with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
The ceremonial hall, adorned with intricate carvings and opulent decorations, stood as a symbol of the emperor's power and authority. The doors swung open, revealing a majestic interior filled with golden hues and delicate fragrances. Soft beams of sunlight filtered through stained glass windows, casting a radiant glow upon the scene.
In this sacred space, surrounded by courtiers, dignitaries, and esteemed officials, Zenith Heaven Emperor awaited the arrival of his bride. As Soft Feather stepped out of the sedan, her eyes locked with his, and time seemed to stand still. The air hummed with a palpable energy as she made her way towards him, her steps guided by a sense of purpose and destiny.
Every movement was deliberate, each gaze filled with adoration and respect. Soft Feather's presence commanded attention as she approached the emperor, the embodiment of grace and elegance. The moment of their union was at hand, a union that would shape the course of their lives and the destiny of their realm.
As the bride was presented to the emperor, a hushed silence fell over the hall. All eyes were fixed upon them, witnessing the profound union of two souls destined to reign together.
