Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San
Chapter 1138 - 1135: Prelude to the Great Wedding

Tang San smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"This... this feels amazing. If I had this kind of energy to aid in my cultivation earlier and was given enough time, I would even dare to challenge the Crystal Great Demon Emperor!"

Tang San smiled and said, "Do you remember when I told you about the Divine Realm? In the Divine Realm, the energy is like this but ten times more concentrated. It's called immortal aura. On this plane, I can only manage this much, and it cannot be allowed to seep out or be discovered by the plane. I promised you that one day I would take you to the Divine Realm. That is a world close to eternal life, filled with the immortal aura that can help you achieve sublimation."

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor silently absorbed the simplified version of the immortal aura surrounding him, momentarily speechless.

Once upon a time, the young man before him seemed so weak in his eyes. But his talent, eloquence, and the hope he offered for the outside world, as well as for his granddaughter's future, had persuaded him.

At this very moment, experiencing the wonders of the immortal aura firsthand felt as though a door to the future world had truly been opened for him. The world beyond that door was something he deeply longed for.

"Thank you, Tang San. I understand a bit more now," the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor nodded toward Tang San, then surprisingly bowed slightly in acknowledgment.

Tang San smiled faintly, neither dodging nor avoiding. In terms of both actual age and standing, the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor was far below him.

"What I have promised, I will certainly fulfill. I'll have to trouble you today."

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor burst into laughter, saying, "This is truly a double blessing. Since you're capable of creating this immortal aura, you must be close to leaving this plane, correct?"

Tang San nodded gently, gazing upward toward the top of the first floor of the Tower of Life. "Perhaps, it's not far away."

Pretty Girl released Tang San's hand, her delicate face blushing as she walked over to the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor's side.

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor took a deep breath, looking at his breathtakingly beautiful granddaughter. "Before, I thought you were fortunate. Reflecting now, I believe it's I who am fortunate. I'm fortunate to be your grandfather, fortunate to have such an extraordinary grandson-in-law, and fortunate to, in my lifetime, have the chance to glimpse the world beyond. To witness a realm of higher existence in this world."

Pretty Girl looked up and smiled, "This is what they call destiny, isn't it?"

The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor chuckled, "Indeed, it is destiny! Boy, let's go. Be cautious during tomorrow's wedding procession. It won't be easy for you. Hahaha!" After speaking, though unwilling to part from the immortal aura, he took Pretty Girl and left the Blue Gold Palace. He was, after all, the palace's very first guest.

As Tang San watched their departure, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by endless contemplation in his gaze.

In his previous life, he hadn't given her a grand wedding. In this life, perhaps this could be considered making up for the regrets of the past.

Little Beauty, Xiaowu. We can truly be together again now.

Yes, the White Tiger Great Demon Emperor had come today to take Pretty Girl away because tomorrow was their wedding day. As the bride, Pretty Girl naturally couldn't spend the night before the wedding with him, the groom. It was customary to return to her parental home. Tomorrow, Tang San would personally visit the White Tiger Palace to collect his bride.

The joyful day was just around the corner.

The Ancestral Court was filled with an atmosphere of bliss everywhere.

In a quiet corner, it was still that small and secluded tavern.

A figure in a gray cloak had been waiting there for a long time, with a mug of ale placed before them, yet untouched.

Suddenly, a gentle glow appeared. In the next moment, a figure materialized on the chair opposite them.

The gray-cloaked figure's body trembled slightly at the arrival of this person.

If, in their last meeting, they could still barely perceive a trace of the other party's aura, then this time, even with the figure seated directly in front of them, there remained an utterly elusive and unfathomable presence.

What kind of existence was this?

They had speculated before but never dared to confirm it. Now, however, they could almost be certain—the person before them had to be an Emperor. Only an Emperor could possess such overwhelming power.

"Are you ready?" The other party spoke in an utterly neutral tone. That voice seemed to change every time they met, but the gray-cloaked figure was certain it was always the same individual.

"I've long been ready. Where's the payment?" the gray-cloaked figure asked.

The other party handed over a storage ring. The gray-cloaked figure took it and slid it onto their finger. In the next moment, their aura noticeably relaxed slightly.

"You're giving me everything now? Aren't you afraid I won't keep my word? Shouldn't you hold onto part of it until the job is complete?" the gray-cloaked figure questioned.

"I might not have time to see you after the task is done, so I'm giving you everything now. There's nothing to fear—if the Shadow Demon Clan couldn't preserve even this shred of credibility, you lot would've long ceased to exist. All you need to do is place these two items in that location, and your mission will be complete."

As they spoke, the shrouded figure produced two disc-shaped objects and handed them to the gray-cloaked individual.

"Alright. I promise it will be done." The gray-cloaked figure accepted the items.

In the very next instant, the figure opposite them disappeared without a sound, leaving the gray-cloaked figure momentarily dazed, as though the other party had never been there at all.

Lowering their head to inspect the disks in their hands, they carefully stowed them away. Then, their body dissipated, gradually transforming into a faint shadow that silently vanished into the darkness.

Ancestral Court.

Early in the morning, the sky remained thick with white clouds. Perhaps because of the lack of sunlight, the weather felt a little chilly and damp.

Though dawn had not yet fully broken, the streets were already packed with crowds. Bathed in the light drizzle, the faces of both the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan were filled with smiles of joy.

It truly was the Water of Life! Soaked in this rainwater, they felt their bodies constantly ascending to a higher state.

Today's rain had started early and was heavier than usual. Even as the raindrops touched the ground, they released a dense Life Aura. Bathed in this flow of life energy, everyone felt invigorated, their entire beings brimming with endless vitality.

They all understood that this was a gift from the Quasi Emperor. From the depths of their hearts, they offered blessings to this great being, feeling that it was the least they could do to honor this grand gesture.

Today was the wedding day of the two Quasi Emperors!

The masses instinctively walked toward the direction of Ancestral Hall Mountain,

while the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox silently sat on the throne of the main hall within the Heavenly Fox Palace, his gaze appearing serene and clear.

Undoubtedly, today was another monumental day for the Ancestral Court. The union of two Quasi Emperors symbolized nothing less than the future direction of the Ancestral Court itself, influencing the dynamics among all races and Emperors. It heralded countless possibilities for transformation in the years to come.

Such a grand wedding in the Ancestral Court hadn't been seen for countless years. Yet, the recent occurrences in the Ancestral Court went far beyond this event.

Since Pretty Girl had submitted her report, shaking the Ancestral Court to its core, and the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain had faced unprecedented upheavals, everything seemed to be shifting. With her human bloodline, Pretty Girl had become the Jiali City Lord, the Peacock Demon Clan patriarch, and succeeded in her report.

Soon after came the fall of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. For nearly two millennia, no Emperor had perished, and the fall of the Crystal had directly affected the entire structure of the Ancestral Court.
