Yun Tianming stood tall against the sky, his figure unmoved, but the overwhelming aura he radiated shook the very heavens and earth.
The Dou Ancestor represents the true dividing line of strength on the Dou Qi Continent. Only by reaching this level can one possess the basic conditions to traverse the continent and venture into the Central Plains.
With a thought, the wrinkled space drew out the swirling residual energy in the sky, leaving it completely empty.
Controlling Spatial Strength is also a symbol of a Dou Ancestor's power!
Generally, those who have just entered the 1 Star Dou Ancestor level cannot skillfully manipulate space, but Yun Tianming can do so, entirely due to the special bloodline within him.
"Void Dragon Core, have I awakened part of the Ancient Void Dragon's bloodline power?"
Yun Tianming clenched his fist, feeling the immense energy flowing through his blood.
He activated his inner vision, delving into his body and carefully sensing it. He discovered that his body had undergone a fundamental transformation: the meridians were not only expanded many times over but also had a faint layer of Dou Qi crystal on and beyond the meridians and bones, continuously emitting weak glimmers.
He tightened his fist slightly, then threw a simple, unadorned punch. The space around his fist immediately distorted, and a low, piercing sound of an explosion, like muffled thunder, resonated across the sky. This simple, unremarkable punch was actually stronger than the punches he had previously delivered using Dou Qi!
"Dou Ancestor and Dou Emperor are indeed two completely different levels!"
Yun Tianming's eyes gleamed with sharp light.
In this breakthrough, in addition to the qualitative leap in Dou Qi, his Soul Realm had also experienced a long-awaited advancement.
From Mortal Realm Great Perfection to early Spirit Realm!
At this moment, his Soul Perception can easily cover a radius of a thousand miles, playing a crucial role in both tracking and avoiding danger. Not to mention that his hidden ace, the Soul Technique, will also see a further enhancement!
"Tianming, congratulations."
"Wow~ the younger generation is really pushing the frontiers; the future belongs to you young people."
Yun Yun and Yun Shan hovered in the air, looking at him with delight.
"By the way, your marriage with Yun'er should be put on the agenda now, right?" Yun Shan said with a hint.
"Ah~ Master, what are you suddenly talking about?" Yun Yun's face flushed red, seemingly unprepared.
"What suddenly? Isn't this something that was decided long ago? You all should listen to the elders!" Yun Shan said with a stern expression. At this moment, he had already recognized Yun Tianming's immense potential and was eager to bind him into the family.
"Junior will follow the arrangements made by the ancestor."
Yun Tianming smiled and cupped his hands. This was what he wanted. Seizing the moment, he wasn't one to dawdle.
"Tianming~"
Yun Yun gazed at him with affectionate eyes.
—————
Today, the Misty Cloud Sect was immersed in a sea of celebration, with bright red decorations like lanterns adorning the massive mountain.
The wedding of Sect Master Yun Yun was an extremely important event for the entire Misty Cloud Sect. Moreover, Yun Yun's groom was Yun Tianming, a renowned genius hailed as the youngest Dou Ancestor in history, not only famous within the Misty Cloud Sect but throughout the entire northwest region!
As for age and seniority, they were overlooked in the face of absolute strength.
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
"Please, the groom and bride, come forward!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, Yun Tianming, dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, looked exceptionally handsome. Yun Yun, in a grand red dress, had her face covered, but her graceful and dignified aura was still palpable.
"Sister Yun'er, oh no, from today onwards, I should call you wife."
Yun Tianming took her slightly trembling hand.
"Tianming… um~ husband."
Yun Yun's light voice came through the veil, her joyful and sweet tone evident.
"Senior Brother Tianming, Master, Yanran wishes you both happiness."
Nalan Yanran, with a melancholic expression, stood silently among the crowd, gazing at the pair on the stage who seemed like a match made in heaven.
"Huh? Hey~ What's there to be conflicted about."
"If you like them, just marry them directly."
Zi Yan said casually, with her hands behind her head.
"Zi Yan, your words are too…"
"How could I marry Master's man?"
Nalan Yanran's cheeks flushed, clearly shocked by Zi Yan's startling remarks.
"What's wrong with that? Your human rules are really restrictive."
"According to Magic Beast customs, as long as your strength is great enough, all the females in the territory are yours."
Zi Yan gestured up and down Nalan Yanran's figure and said seriously, "Let me tell you, little Yanran, Yun Tianming likes this kind of figure."
The evidence being, when she advanced and her body briefly expanded into a graceful mature woman, Yun Tianming was so stunned that she had a good laugh about it for a while.
"Is, is that so?"
Nalan Yanran lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering as she pondered something. Suddenly, a bold idea surged into her mind.
Night Banquet.
Under the enthusiastic hospitality, Yun Tianming was thoroughly drunk. On this joyous day, he didn't use Dou Qi to dispel the alcohol. Rarely able to relax fully, he naturally drank to his heart's content!
"The groom is drunk; please take him to my room."
Yun Yun declined all toasts, citing her own physical discomfort. Although the guests found it somewhat strange, no one dared to insist on drinking with a Dou Ancestor.
"Yanran, help me get some fresh air."
"Yes, Master."
The master and disciple went to a pavilion.
"Are you still upset with me?"
"No, disciple doesn't dare."
Nalan Yanran shook her head.
"So, you still have some lingering resentment~"
Yun Yun chuckled and sighed lightly, "Actually, at first, I intended to matchmake you with Tianming, but I never expected…"
Recalling the Magic Beast Mountains, with the help of Yellow Dragon, the two ended up in an unintended situation. However, Yun Yun did not regret it afterward.
"Master, you don't need to blame yourself. Matters of the heart can't be forced. Senior Brother Tianming loves you."
Nalan Yanran said seriously.
"But, he is also a fickle man."
Yun Yun's eyes narrowed, and she thought of Queen Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian. Although she didn't interact much with them, she could tell the latter's thoughts with a single glance.
"So, what is Master planning?"
Nalan Yanran was somewhat confused about what Yun Yun was implying.
"I plan to have you…"
Yun Yun suddenly leaned in and whispered something into Nalan Yanran's ear.
"What?! Master, you plan to have me serve in bed?"
Nalan Yanran was shocked. Although she had had such a bold idea, she hadn't even begun to scheme it out, let alone be chosen by the official wife. Was this a test from the Master?
"Oh? Not retreating in shock means… Yanran, you have such thoughts too?"
Yun Yun's eyes narrowed, her expression subtly scrutinizing her blushing disciple.
"Ahem! Master, today is your wedding day. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Nalan Yanran averted her gaze, pretending to be concerned.
"What's the big deal? We've already done what needed to be done."
Yun Yun lazily leaned against a stone bench, seemingly unconcerned.
"Uh…"
Nalan Yanran's eyes widened. How could her usually dignified Master speak such bold words?
"Besides, for a long time to come, I won't be very available. Yanran, you need to help me."
Yun Yun gently stroked her stomach with a tender expression.
"!!!"
Nalan Yanran instantly understood.
"Rather than letting others take advantage, it's better to keep it within our own circle from the start."
Yun Yun narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully.
