Chapter 603 - 278: Yue Qingwu Got Married

Only to see Xue Qianbai take out a massive object from his storage ring, placing it with a clang on the ground. Li Hengsheng took a closer look, and it was actually a coffin!

Moreover, this coffin was made of an extraordinarily special material, a rare mineral reputed to seal the sun and moon.

The Ghost Lord of Qishan entered the Black and White Forbidden Area precisely to find this coffin.

Clang!

Xue Qianbai opened the coffin, and inside, there lay a young man.

This young man appeared to be less than thirty years old, his entire body impeccably preserved, exuding a scholarly immortal-like aura.

Even though what lay before him was just a corpse, Li Hengsheng sensed a kind of vastness in this person.

This was something Li Hengsheng had never felt in anyone else.

"Who is this person?"

Li Hengsheng asked in a daze, looking at the deceased.

"The Painting Immortal, Gu Hanxi."

A voice emerged from the Treasure Lotus Lamp: "I had long since acquired the news from the Cangyuan Pavilion that the previous generation Painting Immortal Gu Hanxi was buried in the Black and White Forbidden Area. His body was interred there, surely left by the Longevity Sect's leader for future use, hoping one day to make use of it. He thought hiding in the Black and White Forbidden Area would make it unreachable, but unfortunately, the Ghost Lord of Qishan took action."

"And this body has no residual soul because his entire soul has reincarnated as this generation's leader of the Longevity Sect. It's a very pure body, perfectly suited for my resurrection using the one soul I possess."

"However, with just my one soul, I can't directly enter the body, so I must rely on your power. You and I share the same bloodline, and using your blood power to guide me into this body is essential. To achieve this, you must reach the Innate state."

Hearing Li Changqing's explanation, Li Hengsheng instantly understood.

So that's how Li Changqing was to be revived.

After all, he had seen with his own eyes that Li Changqing's original body had been destroyed. To live again, a new body was a necessity.

He couldn't remain in the lamp forever.

But finding such a pure body in the world was indeed rare.

Gu Hanxi...

Looking at the body, Li Hengsheng didn't expect this to be the famous Painting Immortal.

With the Protector Xue Qianbai by his side, Li Hengsheng began assisting in the transition.

Li Hengsheng injected True Essence into the Treasure Lotus Lamp, activating it, and using its powerful force to gradually merge Li Hengsheng's one soul into Gu Hanxi's body.

This process was slow.

So Li Hengsheng's Innate True Essence needed to be abundant, which fortunately, his wasn't comparable to ordinary people.

Safe and reassuring.

As time slowly passed by.

News of Li Hengsheng appearing and disappearing near Ghost City immediately caught many people's attention, and the appearance of Xue Qianbai also prompted the many Great Protectors of the Longevity Sect to gather, searching for Xue Qianbai's whereabouts.

Xue Qianbai, this key, they had to get their hands on it.

The leader of the Longevity Sect still remained unaware of their grave being unearthed.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Cangyuan Realm, a sensational event took place.

A grand celebration was to be held in Celestial Sea City.

The marriage of Yue Qingwu and Lin Qingyi from the Yue family!

A grand banquet was prepared in Celestial Sea City, inviting all the prominent figures from across the Cangyuan Realm.

Since Monarch Yuehan came to power, this was the first event of such magnitude, and Yue Qingwu being Monarch Yuehan's youngest sister, naturally made all forces prepare significant gifts, flocking toward Celestial Sea City.

In respect of Monarch Yuehan.

And also the Yue family.

After all, the Yue family is the strongest family, ruled by an earthly immortal.

As the first ray of morning light shone upon Celestial Sea City, a silhouette disembarked from a ship in front of the city.

A middle-aged man arrived.

He stood at the gate of the city, raising his head to look at the immense gate and the three characters 'Celestial Sea City' above it.

He held a wine jar in his hand, lifted it, and took a swig.

At this moment, his expression was somewhat languid, his beard unkempt.

Yet, his eyes were sharply piercing.

It was Li Jingsong.

Recent events had reached Li Jingsong, but he remained silent, deciding to send out a letter kept sealed for many years.

Sent to Yue Qingwu.

He waited for a long time at the Mountain Ancient Land for Yue Qingwu's reply.

But to Li Jingsong's hopelessness, Yue Qingwu's letter never came, only the news of her marriage to Lin Qingyi reached him.

In that moment, Li Jingsong was devastated.

The woman he loved most was getting married.

What was the meaning of this?

Was everything between them just a deception?

So Li Jingsong left the Mountain Ancient Land and came to Celestial Sea City alone to confront Yue Qingwu face to face.

What was he?

What were their past feelings worth?

Thus, Li Jingsong came resolutely.

Initially, no one from the Mountain Ancient Land intended to attend this grand celebration. After the Yue family took control of Celestial Sea City, the Mountain Ancient Land chose not to flatter the Yue family.

Opting instead for a neutral stance.

Today's Celestial Sea City was especially lively.

The wedding of the Yue family's Yue Qingwu was certainly no small affair.

Above Celestial Sea City, numerous Spirit Beasts flew through the sky, cranes cried in the air, and Phoenix-drawn carriages passed through the void.

The forces attending today encompassed almost the entire Cangyuan Realm.

Even many Ghost Race forces from the Cloud Wasteland came to join the wedding banquet.

Forces like Destiny Star Hall and Yin Shi Tower also came.

Countless forces from the Three Wastelands sent gifts.

The Su family from the Southern Wilderness, along with many strong individuals, had arrived early, with Wu Santong accompanying them to gain some insight.

Representing the Su family was Su Shizhong.

One could say that more people came today than on the day Jiang Tianyun battled Li Xuanxi.

Since the announcement was made well in advance, many people set out early to attend this grand wedding feast.

When Li Jingsong arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Celestial Sea City, he was stopped.

"This senior, who might you be?"

The guards at the mansion naturally needed to inquire, not allowing just anyone through.

"Li Jingsong, High-Level Painter." Li Jingsong calmly replied.

He didn't intend to report the name of the Mountain Ancient Land because he was here as an individual, not representing the Mountain Ancient Land.

Seeing this unremarkable person claim to be a High-Level Painter, the city guards glanced over at a purple-robed man standing nearby. The man, donning a mask, was unmistakably the Faceless Painting Saint.

The Faceless Painting Saint could see that Li Jingsong was not just a High-Level Painter but one infinitely close to a Painting Saint, perceiving Li Jingsong's state of Divine Soul Realm.

"Please come in, please, come in."

Realizing the person before them indeed was a High-Level Painter, they immediately let him in.

Every painter was a treasure, not to mention a High-Level Painter; who knows, they might become a Painting Saint one day?

However, they didn't know that Li Jingsong once was a Painting Saint.

Yet Li Jingsong could never become a Painting Saint again.

On Void Dragon Island, his Divine Soul foundation was wounded by the dragon's roar, never able to return to the level of a Painting Saint.

It was then that a joyful noise echoed.

From the sky, a pair of black and white giant flood dragons strode through the air, pulling a chariot behind them.

Seeing those flood dragons, the crowd couldn't believe their eyes.

Though they weren't dragons, they did possess dragon lineage!

Seated within the chariot were Yue Qingwu and Lin Qingyi.

Their entrance was nothing short of breathtaking.

Monarch Yuehan sat in the Realm Master Cangyuan's seat, watching the scene with a smile. To Monarch Yuehan's left sat the Yue family's elder, Yue Zhiming.

Many great figures were already seated there.

The Guang Ancestor, Zu Xuanming, several Ghost Lords, and a few at the Painting Saint level; they all occupied the high seats.

Yue Qingwu wore a bridal veil, sitting beside Lin Qingyi, who seemed slightly drowsy but visibly happy.

Holding Yue Qingwu's hand, it wasn't in vain that he betrayed Jiang Tianyun; now he had won over the woman he desired.

This was enough for him.

But at that moment, an abrupt loud noise ensued as a river suddenly soared skyward!

Directly blocking the path of the black and white flood dragons!

Soon after, a figure appeared surfing the waves.

It was Li Jingsong.
