章 2: Dafeng Dynasty: The Day of Ouyang Yue’s Wedding!
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
As one of the top ten dynasties in the Wutian Continent's Central Plains, it could be said that Dafeng Dynasty was in a unique position.
Dafeng Imperial City was more than 100,000 kilometers long, and there were mountains and rivers everywhere. It could be said to be extremely beautiful.
But now, the entire Dafeng Imperial city was covered in red silk, and there were cheers and laughter everywhere.
Today was the day of the grand wedding of the Great Empress of the Dafeng Empire, Su Yaner!
This incredible news immediately swept through the entire Central Plains, and at one point of the time, it became a hot discussion topic for the people of the Central Plains.
Even some of the old monsters that had been in seclusion for thousands of years had awakened one after another. They transformed into a stream of light and flew in the direction of the Dafeng Imperial City, preparing to witness this once-in-a-thousand-years joyous event.
"The sect master of the Xuanli Sect, Li Xuan, has arrived!"
"The sect master of the Withered Tree Sect, Zhang Feng, has arrived!"
"The sacred master of the Lie Shan Empire, Luo Qiankun, has arrived!"
..
The peak of the Dafeng Mountain was already covered in silk. Suddenly, three streaks of light flew over from afar.
"It's actually those three guys!"
As the retired emperor, Su Zhen's gaze trembled as he muttered to himself.
Li Xuan, Zhang Feng, Luo Qiankun..
These people were all people from the same era as Su Zhen.
They were now in the limelight, while he himself was suffering from the backlash of the heavenly tribulation because he wanted to break through to the next realm. He didn't have much time left.
These people were currently the closest neighbors of the Central Plains. Occasionally, there would be some friction between the forces of both sides.
"Father, they came with ill intentions."
Su Yaner looked into the distance and said softly.
Currently, Su Yaner had already changed into a beautiful red robe. Her perfect appearance was like an iceberg.
"It's alright. Today is your joyous day. Even if they had ten thousand guts, they would not dare to cause trouble at this moment," Su Zhen said.
Although they were neighbors, they were also opponents. Su Zhen had a rough estimation of the strength of these people.
The reason why there were no major disputes despite the constant small frictions over the years was all because they all had comparable strengths. Even if they used their full strength, they would not be able to do anything to the other party.
At most, they would be taken advantage of by others. They were very clear about the logic of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole following behind, where they gain the little benefit at the cost of great danger.
However, Su Yaner was extremely cautious. Su Zhen could not help but slowly explain.
"Their strength, including mine, are at the peak of the one-star Dou Sheng class. After living for so many years, they have long become old foxes. They would not act rashly at this moment."
"They are not like me who forcefully broke through to the Dou Di class. As a result, I am about to leave this world. Perhaps, I might not be able to defeat anyone single-handedly. However, if they really do happen to attack our Dafeng Empire at this moment, I can drag one of the three of them down with me even if I die."
Su Zhen shut his mouth. A hint of sadness flashed across Su Yaner's face.
If Su Zhen had not wanted to break through and become a Dou Di, how could things have backfired with the heavenly tribulation and lost thousands of years of his life in vain.
Currently, he was only a nine star Dou Sheng. If Su Zhen passed away, how could he gain any benefits in front of these old foxes?
"It's alright, Yaner. As long as one is a human, one will die eventually. However, you can rest assured that I will settle everything before I leave. You are worrying yourself too much."
Su Zhen laughed in a free and easy manner. He continued to speak to Su Yaner, "As a dou zhe, you must have the conviction to break through the world.
"Currently, I have been trapped at the peak of a one-star Dou Sheng class for a couple of thousand years. Even though I am on the road to breaking through to the Dou Sheng class, I am still much stronger than these old foxes who are afraid of moving forward."
"Unfortunately, the only regret in my life is that I am unable to see the Da Feng Empire that you, Yaner, will lead and take a step forward in the Central Plains."
"You have broken through and became a nine star Dou Sheng in merely 3000 years. Your achievements in the future will definitely be much greater than mine. Perhaps, you will be able to reach the Dou Di class that I have been seeking to break through the most."
"Father, you should stop saying these words..."
"Your body is not good. Your body will recover once that batch of spiritual medicine arrives at the Dafeng."
"It is my own body, naturally I know what kind of condition my body is in."
Su Zhen shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Unless I can obtain a shocking great opportunity within half a year, I will definitely not be able to escape my dying fate."
"Only..."
"Half a year?"
Su Yaner couldn't help but bite her thin lips.
During these 3000 years, Su Yaner was already used to her father, Su Zhen, propping up the heavens for her.
But now that she heard that the once famous emperor only had half a year left to live, how could this not make her sad?
Tears gradually wet the corners of Su Yaner's eyes.
When Su Yaner was a thousand years old, her mother had left.
And now, in another half a year, Su Zhen would also pass away.
In this world, Su Yaner would no longer have a family.
