Surviving In The Ancient Times With Limitless Supplies
Chapter 462: The Wedding (2)

Chapter 462: The Wedding (2)

The guests were all surprised when they saw the bride getting out of the flying carriage with the support of Fu Ziru. As one of the young geniuses in the world of cultivation, Fu Ziru is known for her ruthlessness, cold and emotionless character.

Seeing her carefully supporting the bride and the slight smile on her lips, everyone immediately became curious about who is the youngest venerable master’s bride. What was the background of the bride who could actually make the famous cold beauty smile and support her carefully?

Amidst their curiosity, Wu Yuze saw them coming and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, please welcome the bride!"

In the main hall, Mu Yucheng heard Wu Yuze’s words and looked towards the door of the main hall. He straightened his clothes and walked out of the main hall calmly. As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Mu Yucheng saw Xu Xiang, covered with a red veil and wearing the wedding dress he had prepared for her.

He was stunned, forgetting that many people were watching around him as he could only see her standing right in front of him. Wu Yuze, who was standing on the side, coughed and reminded him, "Ahem, Junior Brother, it’s time for you to welcome your bride."

After hearing his reminder, Mu Yucheng came back to his senses. He took a deep breath before walking towards Xu Xiang. When he stood in front of her, Fu Ziru came closer to Xu Xiang’s ear and whispered: "Relax, don’t be afraid."

After saying that, she let go of Xu Xiang’s arm and walked aside. The next second, Xu Xiang felt a familiar warm hand holding her hand. She smiled and followed Mu Yucheng.

Different from the wedding of mortals, the wedding of cultivators is not just a salute to heaven and elders, but the union of two souls under the witness and blessing of Heavenly Dao. If the two people performing the Dao companions ceremony are not destined to be together, then the ceremony will fail and both of them will be injured, or even die on the spot.

Because of this, few cultivators would perform the Dao companion ceremonies. Instead, they would just live together and separate whenever they wanted. Therefore, throughout history, there have been only a handful of couples who can survive the ceremony in the world of cultivation and truly become lovers blessed by Heavenly Dao.

Mu Yucheng took Xu Xiang’s hand, carefully supported her, and walked towards the platform in the front yard of the main hall. Stepping into the soul-binding formation, Mu Yucheng and Xu Xiang stood face to face.

Although he couldn’t see her face, Mu Yucheng knew that Xu Xiang was also nervous. He lowered his head and whispered, "Don’t worry. We will be fine."

After speaking, Mu Yucheng looked at Wu Yuze and nodded. Seeing that they were ready, Wu Yuze, Fu Ziru, and their junior brothers and junior sisters stood around the formation. They nodded to each other and formed complex hand seals at the same time.

When the hand seals were completed, their palms were pressed to the ground at the same time. The next second, the formation lit up, shrouding the bodies of Mu Yucheng and Xu Xiang in iridescent light.

Noticing that Xu Xiang’s body was slightly stiff, Mu Yucheng rubbed the back of her hand gently with his thumbs to calm her down. Sensing his slight movement, Xu Xiang took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

Seconds later, rainbow-colored light rose into the sky and pierced through the clouds. After a while, the clouds formed a circle in the sky, as if there was a door above it.

When the circle in the sky was completely formed, Mu Zhihe said, "The Dao companions ceremony begins!"

After hearing his Shifu’s words, Mu Yucheng closed his eyes and summoned his Nascent Soul. Under normal circumstances, when two cultivators become Dao companions, they will summon their own Nascent Soul from their bodies, then split the Nascent Soul in half and merge with the other party’s Nascent Soul.

When the Nascent Soul of two people merge with their other half, the ceremony is already halfway through. But if the fusion fails, both will be seriously injured or even die. This part is the most dangerous part of the Dao companions ceremony.

But since Xu Xiang is a mortal, she does not have a Nascent Soul. Therefore, Mu Yucheng had to fuse half of his Nascent Soul with her soul and bear the pain of soul splitting alone. For cultivators, the Nascent Soul is their Primordial Soul. As long as the Nascent Soul still exists, they will not die and can be resurrected.

For Mu Yucheng, sacrificing half of his Nascent Soul for Xu Xiang was a huge price he had to pay to make her his Dao companion. Enduring the pain of soul splitting, Mu Yucheng gritted his teeth and calmly fused his Nascent Soul with Xu Xiang’s soul.

After a long and slow soul fusion process, Mu Yucheng’s body was already covered with cold sweat. Holding his hands, Xu Xiang could feel his body temperature gradually getting colder.

Not knowing what happened, Xu Xiang held his hand tightly and asked worriedly in a low voice: "Yucheng, what’s wrong? Why does your body suddenly become cold?"

Mu Yucheng did not answer her but held her hand tighter. After more than five minutes, Xu Xiang suddenly felt that she could feel Mu Yucheng inside her body. It was a very strange feeling, but also warm and gave her a sense of security.

As for Mu Yucheng, he let out a trembling breath after the soul fusion was successful. When half of his Nascent Soul returned to his body and Xu Xiang’s soul completely merged with his other half Nascent Soul, golden light shone down from the cloud gate in the sky.

Seeing this, everyone took a deep breath and said, "The Heavenly Dao’s blessing! The two of them are destined to be together!"
