Inside the bracelet was an independent space, filled with terrifying laws in the void.

 

Chen Qingyuan's consciousness swept around, and his soul couldn't help but tremble.

 

Buzz!

 

A law surged, and a tightly closed white umbrella appeared in front of Chen Qingyuan.

 

The appearance of the white umbrella triggered a prohibition inside the jade bracelet, and a cold voice came, "Chen Qingyuan, this is a wedding gift for your loved one. You must attend."

 

A wedding gift of a white umbrella? Isn't this cursing someone?

 

Hearing this voice, could it be that she's jealous?

 

Chen Qingyuan felt embarrassed. He thought the first task of the agreement would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

 

When Chen Qingyuan entered the Sky Abyss, the woman in red wanted to form a Dao Companion with him and often teased him. In response, Chen Qingyuan stated that he already had a fiancée and directly refused.

 

It wasn't because the woman in red was ugly, but because of a promise.

 

In terms of appearance, the woman in red was extremely beautiful, unlike an ordinary person, and her beauty was indescribable. Although the White Snow of the Eastern Joy Palace was stunning, she couldn't compare to the woman in red.

 

Just based on her temperament, there was a world of difference.

 

"Why do I feel like she's a bit crafty?"

 

Chen Qingyuan muttered under his breath.

 

Originally, Chen Qingyuan had let go of everything and thought it was all in the past. Who knew that the woman in red would pull such a move, making Chen Qingyuan have to go even if he didn't want to.

 

Don't think that leaving the restricted zone of the Sky Abyss would make him free. If Chen Qingyuan didn't fulfill the agreement, the consequences would be very severe.

 

After resting for a few days, Chen Qingyuan planned to leave Bright Moon City and return to the Mystic Azure Sect.

 

Calculating the time, there was still half a year until the day of the Heavenly Jade Sect and Eastern Joy Palace's marriage.

 

"Elder, I'm leaving."

 

Chen Qingyuan packed his bags and said to Li Muyang, who was sitting in the courtyard.

 

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come here to find me."

 

Li Muyang made a promise.

 

"Alright." Chen Qingyuan didn't beat around the bush. This was a life-saving talisman.

 

After Chen Qingyuan left, Li Muyang looked into the distance, lost in thought.

 

***

 

Mystic Azure Sect, Council Hall.

 

The people were discussing the normal affairs of the sect, and when it came to the matter of the Heavenly Jade Sect and Eastern Joy Palace's marriage, they planned to send an elder to make an appearance.

 

As the day of the marriage approached, many representatives of various forces had already set off, and the Eastern Joy Palace gradually became lively.

 

"The Junior Master is back!"

 

Chen Qingyuan had just arrived at the gate of the Mystic Azure Sect, and the disciple guarding the gate reported the news.

 

To avoid trouble, Chen Qingyuan concealed his cultivation level. As long as he had the jade bracelet on him, he could trigger the prohibition inside the jade bracelet to conceal the fluctuation of his spiritual qi.

 

The Sword Immortal had repeatedly instructed that the matter of the Dao Bone couldn't be told to anyone, or it would involve terrifying karma and harm the people around him.

 

Moreover, the Sword Immortal didn't want to expose his whereabouts. Chen Qingyuan couldn't explain the restoration of his spiritual root and would find a suitable opportunity to tell his senior brothers later.

 

"Junior martial brother, where have you been for the past half year?"

 

Elder Dong Wenjun put down everything in his hands and hurried out to greet him.

 

"I went out to clear my mind."

 

Chen Qingyuan smiled lightly.

 

The other elders also came to the backyard and chatted with Chen Qingyuan. When Chen Qingyuan had just returned last time, it caused quite a stir, and many sects wanted to see him and inquire about the news of the Sky Abyss Forbidden Ground.

 

But hearing that Chen Qingyuan had become a useless person, faked his death, and escaped, coupled with the strong attitude of the Mystic Azure Sect, the various sects didn't dare to press for answers.

 

Now, with the impending marriage of the two sects, the forces in the Flow Star Domain shifted their attention away from the Mystic Azure Sect.

 

In the Northern Wilderness, there were countless star domains.

 

There were tens of thousands of sects in just the Flow Star Domain alone.

 

The Mystic Azure Sect was considered a first-class force in this realm, with considerable prestige.

 

"Junior martial brother, that woman from the Eastern Joy Palace has called off the engagement. It's her loss, don't worry too much about it. We will definitely come up with a plan to restore your spiritual root and bring back your former glory."

 

A senior brother with a white beard thought that the engagement of the two sects had caused Chen Qingyuan to feel upset and hurriedly comforted him.

 

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother."

 

Chen Qingyuan felt warm in his heart and smiled.

 

"Today, we rarely gather like this. Let's not talk about these troubling matters and raise our cups to drink together."

 

Sect Master Lin Changsheng sat in the middle and raised his cup.

 

"Cheers."

 

Everyone stood up and drank the wine or tea in their cups.

 

The internal unity of the Mystic Azure Sect was not like other forces, full of scheming and seeking only profit. Of course, there were occasional minor frictions within the sect, but they were not major problems and were easily resolved.

 

The unity of the sect's high-level was all thanks to the Supreme Elder, who had put in a lot of effort. The core elders who could sit here today and drink tea and wine had all received the Supreme Elder's favor.

 

About two hundred years ago, the Supreme Elder brought back a baby in swaddling clothes and took the baby as the last disciple. Not long after, the Supreme Elder passed away.Since then, the Elders have taken great care of the male infant, ostensibly acknowledging a Junior Martial Brother, but in reality, they all treated him as a nephew, with affection as if he were their own blood kin.

 

In truth, the Supreme Elder had only ever taken one disciple in his life, and that was Chen Qingyuan.

 

The Elders called Chen Qingyuan Junior Martial Brother because they respectfully referred to the Supreme Elder as Grandmaster Uncle.

 

"Big Senior Brother, I would like to attend the wedding ceremony of the two Sects."

 

After three rounds of drinks, Chen Qingyuan revealed his thoughts.

 

Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent, and everyone's gaze shifted to Chen Qingyuan, unsure of what to do.

 

"Why?"

 

Lin Changsheng asked.

 

Everyone looked at Chen Qingyuan with eyes full of confusion and astonishment.

 

"There's nothing to avoid."

 

Chen Qingyuan stated bluntly.

 

The crowd pondered and could understand.

 

"Have you really thought this through?" Lin Changsheng's eyes were filled with concern.

 

"I have." Chen Qingyuan replied with a tight-lipped smile.

 

"Then you shall go with Senior Brother Yan!"

 

Lin Changsheng weighed his words and then nodded in agreement.

 

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Chen Qingyuan expressed his gratitude.

 

The Mystic Azure Sect dispatched Seventh Elder Yan Minghai to the Heavenly Jade Sect to deliver a gift. Regardless of how awkward the relationship between the two families was, they still had to go through the motions.

 

Two months later, Yan Minghai and Chen Qingyuan, along with a dozen others, set off.

 

***

 

On a Spiritual Ship, Yan Minghai wore a deep grey robe, standing seven feet tall, his hair slightly graying.

 

"Junior Martial Brother, recently the Sect Master has been busy with your affairs, seeking many renowned physicians. However, as soon as your condition is mentioned, no physician is willing to take the case, all deeming it hopeless."

 

Yan Minghai stood shoulder to shoulder with Chen Qingyuan, protecting him with a Mysterious Light.

 

"Big Senior Brother has gone to great lengths."

 

Chen Qingyuan was aware of these matters and kept them in mind.

 

"Alas!" Yan Minghai sighed lightly, lamenting, "Back then, you were unparalleled, your name known throughout the Northern Wilderness. Now, to end up in such a state, had we known, we would have tied you up rather than let you go to the Sky Abyss."

 

"Senior Brother Yan need not worry, perhaps this is my fate."

 

The experiences within the Restricted Zone of Sky Abyss were something Chen Qingyuan could not share with anyone, to avoid bringing disaster upon himself. Moreover, some things were best known only to oneself.

 

Before long, the Mystic Azure Sect's warship arrived at the territory of the Heavenly Jade Sect.

 

Looking around, the Void was filled with various Spiritual Ships and Treasures, and flags of different Sects fluttered impressively.

 

The Heavenly Jade Sect was located amidst mountains shrouded in mist, with ancient trees rooted in the rocks, towering into the clouds, obscuring the sky.

 

At the foot of the mountains stood majestic Spirit Beasts, a deep green python circling in the air, a giant bird with flames burning on its body, a white horse with wings, and more.

 

Only a little over three months remained until the wedding day of the two Sects.

 

Representatives of various Sects could now enter the Heavenly Jade Sect or stay within their own warships and Spiritual Treasures, waiting.

 

"Junior Martial Brother, let's just stay here for now! When the day comes, we'll go in and make an appearance."

 

Yan Minghai planned to stay on the warship for the time being to accommodate Chen Qingyuan's feelings.

 

"Senior Brother Yan, we have already entered the territory of the Heavenly Jade Sect. As a representative of the Mystic Azure Sect, it would be somewhat improper for you not to show yourself. Go and greet the Dao Friends from the various forces. I can manage on my own."

 

Chen Qingyuan did not want to inconvenience Yan Minghai.

 

"Is that appropriate?"

 

The Mystic Azure Sect's warship was visible to all. If Yan Minghai did not show himself, it would seem a bit presumptuous to outsiders and affect their reputation.

 

"It's fine, I know my limits, don't worry!"

 

Chen Qingyuan gave Yan Minghai a reassuring look.

 

After pondering for a while, Yan Minghai nodded in agreement: "Alright, during this time, stay inside the cabin and do not go out."

 

"Mhm." Chen Qingyuan watched as Yan Minghai left.

 

Even though the Mystic Azure Sect was not an ordinary Sect, they still needed to maintain good relations with many top forces and try not to offend anyone.

 

Thus, although this was the wedding ceremony of the Heavenly Jade Sect and the Eastern Joy Palace, it also allowed various Sects to gather together, exchange ideas, and form good connections.

 

A few Time periods later, someone approached the Mystic Azure Sect's warship, accompanied by a voice: "Chen Qingyuan, you actually came to attend the wedding of the two Sects. Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

 

The words carried a hint of mockery, deliberately coming to see Chen Qingyuan's embarrassment.
