Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Wedding (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Jennifer, Carmela, stop it!"

The groom’s room.

Jones, dressed in a crisp suit, was tying his tie.

The two sisters had also grown into beautiful women, pursued widely in the Federation and known as the ’princesses of the Mojito family.’

However, only a few people like Jones knew that they were truly little devils.

"Alright, I’ll let you off just this once, congratulations Jones!"

Carmela and Jennifer exchanged a glance and gave Jones a hug.

"Thank you!"

Jones was a bit overwhelmed and asked, "Where’s Li Wei?"

"Who knows?"

Carmela complained, "He’s been coming back less and less recently, but I told him about your wedding date last time, he definitely won’t be late..."

As she spoke, a figure materialized from the void, solidifying from nothingness.

Jones and the others were not surprised; they were already used to it.

Instead, it was Jennifer who jumped forward: "Li Wei!"

"Yes, I’ve come back."

Zhong Shenxiu looked at his younger siblings and wore a smile.

During this time, he had been stationed at the Pavilion of True Knowledge, browsing through various top-secret information of the Federation.

In addition, he had been traveling in the Spirit Realm, searching for the sixth Dao Mark— the Ascension Altar.

Unfortunately, concerning the ’Trial of the Heavens,’ there might have been a few hints from the predecessors, but clues about the Ascension Altar were completely nonexistent.

Luckily, Zhong Shenxiu’s mindset was stable.

He already possessed a long life and strong power. By slowly exploring, he would eventually find it in the Spirit Realm.

And beyond that, he had shown himself in the real world under various identities, becoming an emotionless point-collecting machine.

Sometimes, he was the legendary magician Merlin.

Other times, he was the mysterious thief Arnold.

And sometimes, he was just himself, seizing every opportunity and not missing a single Heavenly Show Point.

As a result, the Heavenly Show Points in the Heavenly Show System had skyrocketed past the thousand-point mark!

Then, he encountered the same problem as in previous worlds, reaching the limit for exploiting the system and unable to continue.

"Anyway... congratulations, Jones."

Zhong Shenxiu presented a blood-red gemstone as a wedding gift.

"Thank you."

Jones rubbed his eyes: "Are you going to be my best man?"

Zhong Shenxiu chuckled: "I think I’d better stay at the family table."

"That works too..."

Jones looked at his brother’s increasingly handsome face and suddenly felt that this wasn’t such a bad idea.

At least, it wouldn’t make him just a background figure.

"Li Wei, your hand..."

Carmela looked at Zhong Shenxiu’s right arm, which was wrapped in a bracer.

"A magical artifact, but also a fine decoration..."

Zhong Shenxiu pulled down his sleeve and casually brushed it off.

...

The grand wedding banquet lasted into the night.

The Mojito family’s two pearls were highly sought after by many young people.

This fervor was somewhat overwhelming for Carmela and Jennifer, who hid away.

As for Zhong Shenxiu’s side, it was even livelier.

But those who gathered were truly the big shots.

Ordinary heirs of conglomerates didn’t even have the standing to be in this inner circle.

...

Late at night.

After finishing his social obligations, Zhong Shenxiu returned to his room.

Click!

The door swung open, and the blurry moonlight mingled with the hazy darkness, seemingly breeding countless sinister shadows.

"Why... why didn’t you save me?"

A gentle call suddenly rang in Zhong Shenxiu’s ears.

He saw her again, that half-woman resembling a plaster sculpture.

Her body was like a centipede, standing upright, countless tentacles stretching out in all directions.

One of the white tentacles brushed past Zhong Shenxiu’s shoulder.

A trail of blood clearly appeared, and strands of blood began to spread.

"Hallucination? Madness?"

"Then why has it become real?"

Zhong Shenxiu did not understand, but he knew one thing—the contamination was getting worse.

He looked at his own palm.

If he were to fight here, others might not know, but it would surely result in heavy casualties among the ordinary people.

Thinking it over, his figure ghosted, entering the Spirit Realm.

...

It was a grand hall.

On the surrounding stone columns, bodies of various monsters were nailed.

The Hall of Skeletons!

In the Spirit Realm, there were countless such special areas, but this was where Zhong Shenxiu had left coordinates after his last exploration.

At that moment, his figure emerged directly from the void.

"The curse is steadily drawing closer..."

Zhong Shenxiu rolled up his sleeve, unfastened his armguard, and saw that the black blood vessel-like patterns had expanded several times.

"Didn’t they say that the gods’ perception of time is different from ours? Why has it become like this in just a few years..."

"If this continues, even though I have a thousand years of longevity, the curse is likely to erupt completely within a century..."

"Hehe..."

This illusionary curse was of a high caliber, not only turning illusion into reality, but also mentally interacting with matter.

It could even directly deceive Zhong Shenxiu’s senses.

He was truly afraid that as the illusions grew more severe over time, he would inadvertently kill his friends and family mistaking them as monsters!

"And... The level of the Black Blood Mark is high, and perhaps after I return to Yan Han, the curse will still be on me..."

"So, it must be resolved in this world."

Zhong Shenxiu pondered and began to calm his emotions.

He closed his eyes and upon opening them again, a giant eyeball filled with blood vessels appeared in front of him.

"It hurts so much!"

Inside this giant eyeball, countless cracks emerged, clearly revealing the struggling and writhing agony within the fissures!

"Here it comes again."

"Not just the intensity, the frequency is increasing as well."

Zhong Shenxiu’s mind stirred.

Boom!

The giant eye in front of him, as if struck by an invisible train, violently flew backward, smashing against a wall.

Crack!

It fractured partially, with organ fluid oozing out.

The corrosive fluid landed on the ground, emitting a startling acidic mist.

"Why... won’t you save me?"

A deep voice suddenly resonated behind Zhong Shenxiu again.

Without looking, he swung back with a punch, "Do you still need saving? You who can’t even die!"

The punch pierced straight through the plaster woman’s head.

But it was useless!

In the next moment, the plaster split down the middle, and bubbles appeared on the surface of the fracture.

Then, two identical plaster women like before emerged, "Save us... save us!"

This illusion, whether in the Spirit Realm or the real world, was difficult to evade.

And it was becoming more and more ’real.’

By now, even Zhong Shenxiu had to seriously put in some effort to dispel it.

"It’s likely not just the longevity blood; the other ’longevity’ beings too have similar issues, just to different extents..."

"I finally understand why Isreal went mad in his later years..."
