"Welcome the groom!"
"Welcome the groom!"
...
Bai Yan, holding two bouquets of red flowers, walked along the red carpet to the main hall, and then respectfully paid a grand salute to Elder An and Master Blood Dragon.
"Very good, very good!"
Elder An said with a big laugh, excitedly fussing over his words, facing hundreds of camera lenses, this elder who usually disregards life and death was for the first time showing incoherence in his speech.
"Young man, are you planning to kneel before us old timers all day long? Go get your bride already!"
Master Blood Dragon couldn't help but tease Bai Yan.
The people around, upon hearing Master Blood Dragon's words, felt a surge of astonishment.
Looking across the entire Main Plane, probably only these two elders dared to speak to Bai Yan in such a manner.
Bai Yan laughed awkwardly, then followed the red carpet to the bridal chamber where the An sisters were.
Looking at the two brides wearing phoenix crowns and xia pei, with graceful figures and dressed in red wedding gowns, Bai Yan's usually calm heart also began to flutter.
"Bai Yan, what are you staring dumbfounded for? Hurry up and take your brides away."
Li Xiaoman, holding back the jealousy in her heart, said with a smile.
"My brides! I'm taking you home!"
Bai Yan handed the red flowers to the An sisters and then took their hands to step onto the phoenix palanquin.
Amidst the attention of thousands, they grandly returned to Dragon Sect.
After the wedding procession returned to Dragon Sect, the An sisters were sent to the bridal chamber, while Bai Yan faced tens of thousands of guests.
These included representatives from all walks of life from the Abnormal World to Sect Forces and even the Mortal World of the Main Plane.
For Bai Yan, the top priority today was marriage, but for the representatives of these forces, presenting gifts to curry favor with Dragon Sect was the most important matter.
The moment Bai Yan defeated the three most powerful forces in the Main Plane in front of these people, Dragon Sect had already become the crownless king!
Although the power of Demon Island was stronger than that of Dragon Sect, in the hearts of these people, Demon Island was like the Kunlun Holy Land that was aloof from worldly affairs eons ago.
Only when the Huaxia Abnormal People Council faced crisis would they offer assistance; normally, they would not intervene in the affairs of the Main Plane.
All people and representatives were seated in accordance with Dragon Sect's arrangements; the division of seating was meticulously strategic.
Bai Yan sat at the main seat, with the high-level members of Demon Island's forces beneath him.
Following were Dragon Sect and Huaxia Abnormal People Council, and what astonished people was that the forces of the mortal Huaxia world were right behind them!
Only after all representatives of Huaxia's forces were arranged did Sect and Abnormal People follow, with other secular forces in the world at the very back.
Usually, these Abnormal People and monks would never tolerate ordinary mortals sitting at the high seats.
But now, these people had no complaints at all; after all, being granted a seat by Bai Yan was already an immense honor.
When Bai Yan accomplished the unification of the Main Plane, Huaxia's status soared, such that even an ordinary person was more noble than a foreign Abnormal Person!
Many great nations, in order to please Bai Yan, immediately introduced a series of privileges for Huaxia nationals.
Even nearly half of the countries directly added Huaxia to the visa-free list.
As long as you were a Huaxia national, you wouldn't need a passport or visa – you could walk and visit anywhere in the world, settle wherever you wish...
Many foreigners were now submitting applications to Huaxia; as for those wealthy enough to renounce Huaxia Nationality, they were now regretting it to the point of turning blue!
When the night's banquet reached halfway, the Immortal Island Grand Elder stood next to Bai Yan and called out loudly, "Present the gifts!"
These gifts were offered by the various guests after arriving at Dragon Sect, and now to openly announce them during the banquet was to showcase the power of these forces.
These powers, in order to please Bai Yan, presented gifts one more valuable than the last, and Bai Yan had to act a bit pretentious to collaborate with these powers.
"Dark Council, presents three Cultivation Techniques from our Sect! Congratulations to Lord Bai Yan on his grand marriage! May you enjoy boundless happiness and a house full of children!"
The Immortal Island Grand Elder, utilizing the power of rules, shouted out so that tens of thousands of guests could hear.
"Good heavens, did I hear that right? The Dark Council is so rich!"
"That's a Sect Cultivation Technique, how did they get their hands on that?"
"Only temples of Sects with Gods would possess Cultivation Techniques, could it be the Dark Council robbed a God?"
...
When the guests heard about the Dark Council's gift, they were immediately shocked!
Only Sects and temples have handed-down skills; the Dark Council offering three such skills undoubtedly stunned them.
"Demon Island presents five pieces of Divine Power! Congratulations to Lord Bai Yan on his grand marriage! May you enjoy boundless happiness and a house full of children!"
The Immortal Island Grand Elder sang out once more.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded.
Divine Power is something only a God possesses, and furthermore, it can only be formed by a God fusing their rule power within their body.
Compared to the Dark Council's gifted techniques, it seemed Demon Island directly slayed a God!
While they were still figuring out how to break free from the servitude of Sects and temples, Demon Island had already killed a God representing the Sects and temples!
The gap in strength was simply too terrifying!
"Wait, why are the Dark Council and Demon Island's gifts announced first?"
Bai Yan asked doubtfully.
Thinking it was because he was their support, the gifts from Demon Island and the Dark Council turned out to be the most precious.
But the problem was exactly that: announcing the most precious gifts first overshadowed the subsequent ones.
It's like playing cards with landlords; if the landlord starts by playing a quad of twos and a joker trick, what chance do the peasants have? They'd be lucky not to be completely dumbfounded...
"Master, the order of gifts is recorded by the time they were received. Because the Dark Council and Demon Island offered their tributes earliest, they were also listed at the forefront."
The Immortal Island Grand Elder replied with the utmost respect.
"Never mind, keep going."
Bai Yan waved his hand, signaling to continue.
As Bai Yan mentioned, although the following gifts were valuable, they paled in comparison to the initial offerings of Cultivation Techniques and Divine Power.
However, there were still two gifts that stood out; the first was the mysterious Ancient Bronze Mirror offered by the Hengyue Sect.
"System, what's the story behind this copper mirror?"
Bai Yan, sensing the ancient aura from the copper mirror, had the System check it out.
"It's not just a mirror; it's a map that only a God with Intermediate Divine Power can open."
The System explained.
Bai Yan didn't inquire further, instead, he pocketed the Ancient Bronze Mirror, planning to let the Immortal Island Master give it a try in a couple of days.
The second gift was contributed by the Pharaoh Council, and the gift turned out to be beyond everyone's expectations—so much so that Bai Yan himself was stunned upon seeing it.
"The Pharaoh Council presents two Mummy statues of the Pharaoh King! Congratulations to Lord Bai Yan on his grand marriage! May you enjoy boundless happiness and a house full of children!"
Everyone representing [their powers] collectively gave the Pharaoh Council's representative a thumbs-up.
Impressive, indeed. Excuse us, we take our leave!
The Pharaoh Council went so far as to offer their own forefathers as a tribute; who could outdo them!
