Chapter 48

All that needed to be sealed has been sealed, and all that needed to be said has been said. Apart from the heavenly tribulation causing headaches, it can be considered a time of great joy and celebration for all under heaven!

Graceful palace maids, with their elegant figures, served platters of spiritual fruits, immortal delicacies, and jade elixirs!

On Ding Yue's desk, there were two white, slightly pink immortal peaches, which greatly satisfied his taste buds, allowing him to taste the famous peach of immortality from the future!

It was just a bit scarce! Despite feeling that the journey was worthwhile, Ding Yue still felt that the peaches were a bit too few, not quite satisfying!

After the gathering dispersed, the Jade Emperor called his subordinates for a small meeting, making some personnel arrangements!

Ding Yue was assigned to the first heaven, the Colorless Heaven, one of the four heavens, which is also considered one of the best among the thirty-three heavens, leaving Ding Yue very satisfied. This made him develop a good impression of the Heavenly Emperor, thinking that he was not a bad person!

Then, the heavenly laws and regulations were announced by Tai Bai Jin Xing. Although they were not as strict as imagined, they still felt somewhat restrictive to those accustomed to freedom!

The Colorless Heaven!

Vast heavenly domains with towering mountains and abundant spiritual energy!

In the center, a grand and solemn hall stood, the Hall of Supervision, surrounded by other palaces, all previously built!

The Hall of Supervision, as envisioned by the Heavenly Emperor, would have three major celestial officials: the Celestial Official, the Earthly Official, and the Water Official, overseeing the heavens, the earth, and the waters, respectively!

There would also be left and right celestial envoys of supervision, thirty-six patrolling celestial envoys, and others.

Naturally, since Ding Yue took on the role of the Celestial Venerable of Supervision, this area would also serve as the main base of the截教 (Jie Jiao), with the three major celestial officials and all subordinate officials being disciples of the截教 (Jie Jiao)!

Ding Yue had already observed and selected suitable candidates, and without hesitation, directly appointed the various celestial officials!

This outcome brought both joy and concern to many截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples!

After settling these matters, Ding Yue called the thirty-six patrolling celestial envoys!

These thirty-six individuals were not particularly outstanding among the截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples, and their cultivation realms were somewhat weak, but Ding Yue valued their stable Daoist cultivation!

Many截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples focused on magical techniques and secret arts without cultivating their Daoist cultivation, so those who could resist temptation were rare and valuable!

Among these thirty-six, five were women, each with beautiful appearances!

Seeing these somewhat nervous individuals, Ding Yue said, "Although your Daoist cultivation is stable, your cultivation realms are still somewhat weak!"

This statement made them worry and feel anxious!

"Rest assured, I have called you here to bestow a great opportunity upon you!" Ding Yue explained!

"Let's go! Follow me to the mortal world!"

Ding Yue, leading these excited and expectant individuals, released a cloud of colorful mist and left the Southern Heavenly Gate, descending to the mortal world!

However, upon descending, Ding Yue noticed a large sun hanging in the sky, illuminating all directions and nurturing all things!

"Prince Jinwu?" Ding Yue's gaze revealed contemplation, but he quickly dismissed it, as it was not something he should be concerned about!

Revisiting this place, Ding Yue felt a sense of nostalgia. If not for these three immortal islands, he would not have such cultivation or status today!

At that time, he would have been at most an ordinary Golden Immortal with a few more spiritual treasures?

Reaching the Great Enlightenment realm would have been unimaginable!

Ding Yue, who had entered the great array before, effortlessly led everyone through the array surrounding the island!

The截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples did not expect this somewhat desolate sea to have such three immortal islands, and they looked around curiously, whispering to each other!

The Immortal Transformation Pool!

Ding Yue simply explained, and the截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples' eyes widened in amazement!

The allure of a congenital immortal body was something only those with poor aptitude could truly understand!

This was a great opportunity!

Ding Yue felt the same way, empathizing with their excitement!

The thirty-six截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples jumped into the Immortal Transformation Pool one after another!

After a long time, Ding Yue, who was guarding beside them, suddenly felt the array tremble and opened his eyes!

Smiling, Ding Yue looked at his fellow disciples undergoing transformation in the pool, then left the array.

Outside the array, Tai Bai Jin Xing, holding a duster, stood on a cloud, looking at the calm Ding Yue and said, "Venerable, what a great opportunity!"

His tone was filled with envy!

Seeing Tai Bai Jin Xing, who was usually calm, show such an expression, Ding Yue found it quite amusing and began chatting with him.

When Tai Bai Jin Xing asked when the Immortal Transformation Pool would be returned,

Ding Yue replied, "In two or three years. Don't worry, Jin Xing, let's have some tea first!"

With that, Ding Yue led Tai Bai Jin Xing into the island, found a mountain peak, and with a wave of his hand, a pavilion appeared, complete with stone tables and benches!

Ding Yue took out his tea set and brewed a pot of tea for himself and Tai Bai Jin Xing!

"How does Venerable plan to handle these three immortal islands?"

While drinking tea and building rapport, Tai Bai Jin Xing finally got to the point.

The Immortal Transformation Pool was already mostly taken by the截教 (Jie Jiao), and it had to be returned!

But the three immortal islands were also a big prize!

Ding Yue smiled and said, "Jin Xing, don't worry. These three immortal islands belong to the scattered immortals and are managed by the Heavenly Court, and I am well aware of this!"

Each of the three islands spanned tens of thousands of miles, and in the current chaotic world, they were top-notch paradises, not inferior to the heavens at all. It was natural for the Heavenly Emperor to have some thoughts!

This was very normal!

Hearing Ding Yue's words, Tai Bai Jin Xing felt a surge of joy!

"However," Ding Yue continued, "I plan to build a separate residence on Penglai Island, and I hope for your understanding, Jin Xing!"

With that, Ding Yue smiled at Tai Bai Jin Xing.

Tai Bai Jin Xing took a few sips of tea, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "The Great Venerable intends for the Eastern Emperor to manage the immortals of the Eastern Sea."

"I believe the Eastern Emperor will not force anyone, and being neighbors would be nice," Ding Yue said.

In the current chaotic world, the Witches and the Feathered People were no more, and the various sages were the leaders. Even the Heavenly Emperor could not ignore the high and mighty sages and had to be constantly on guard!

This matter, Ding Yue had the advantage, and there was no way he would give everything up to benefit others!

Moreover, while the three immortal islands were important, they did not touch the core, and everything could be negotiated!

Penglai Island was the best among the three, though not as vast as Fangzhang Island or as resource-rich as Yingzhou Island, it had the most beautiful environment and the most abundant spiritual energy!

"As Venerable said," Tai Bai Jin Xing nodded after a long pause, agreeing with Ding Yue.

Ding Yue smiled, poured another cup of tea, and said, "Jin Xing, taste this tea. My Da Hong Pao is something ordinary people can't even dream of drinking!"

With the matter settled, Tai Bai Jin Xing put aside his concerns and discussed Dao with Ding Yue.

Although Tai Bai Jin Xing was deeply favored by the Heavenly Emperor, he was still just a Heavenly Immortal!

Discussing Dao with Ding Yue, a Venerable of the Great Enlightenment realm, Tai Bai Jin Xing gained a lot and benefited greatly!

After two years, the截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples in the Immortal Transformation Pool emerged one by one, each with a congenital immortal body, their auras completely transformed, and their bodies thoroughly renewed. Everyone benefited greatly, not only improving their aptitude but also increasing their Daoist cultivation and filling their magical power!

After dismissing the截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples, Ding Yue did not return to the Heavenly Court but turned back to Potala Island!

His wedding was due, or the three fairy maidens would likely be furious!

For Ding Yue, this was his first wedding. Although he had dated a few times in the future, marriage was still far off.

He was not quite sure how to handle it, and there was a lack of information on this matter in the entire chaotic world.

With no choice, he had to figure it out himself!

After much thought on Potala Island, Ding Yue sent messages to his friends, Luo Xuan, Jin Guxian, and others for help!

First, the Ao Lan side!

The Dragon Clan was wealthy and powerful, and the dowry he prepared could not be too meager!

Fortunately, Ding Yue had accumulated quite a bit over the years!

Ding Yue had been ruthless in gathering heavenly materials and treasures, and some previously insignificant items were now rare and valuable!

He filled thirty-six gourds with the spiritual elixirs he had refined, and prepared dozens of chests of heavenly materials and treasures!

Preparations complete!

Mounting a dragon whisker beast, with a group of截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples following, and a line of golden fish-shaped soldiers carrying the dowry, he set off for the Southern Sea Dragon Palace in a grand procession!

The Southern Sea side had already been informed, and the entire Dragon Palace was filled with joy, with immortal music echoing, and groups of dragon princes and princesses playing and laughing, waiting for Ding Yue's arrival!

The old Dragon King was very satisfied with Ding Yue as a son-in-law, with his status and cultivation, they were well-matched!

The old Dragon King happily accepted the dowry and, with a wave of his hand, opened the banquet!

The Dragon King's banquet was naturally extraordinary, with spiritual fruits, immortal elixirs, and delicious dishes, including several types of fruits from congenital spiritual roots!

This made everyone realize that the Dragon Clan was indeed a wealthy and generous clan!

After the banquet, it was time to welcome the new bride, and of course, a group of hundreds of water soldiers carried the dowry in large wooden chests!

It looked like the Dragon Clan's dowry was even more generous than Ding Yue's!

Returning to Potala Island, after settling Ao Lan, Ding Yue had to immediately set off with the same entourage to Jinqiao Island!

However, upon arrival, he discovered that his two brides had moved a few years ago, one still in the Eastern Sea!

The other, Shi Ji, had moved to the chaotic world!

This caused a great embarrassment for Ding Yue!

He scolded the dim-witted messenger child and had to first go to Hanzhi Xian's Wood Spirit Island!

Wood Spirit Island was an immortal island formed after the great calamity, spanning hundreds of miles, not very large.

But the island was rich in spiritual energy, with a beautiful environment and many rare flowers and plants, which Hanzhi Xian had chosen and settled on during her travels!

After the great calamity, many new immortal islands appeared in the Eastern Sea, many of which were paradises, and the截教 (Jie Jiao) disciples in the Eastern Sea naturally had the advantage, each finding a suitable immortal island to live on!

Like Luo Xuan's Fire Dragon Island, the Three Xiang's Three Immortal Islands, and Lü Yue and Wang Mo's Nine Dragon Island, all were excellent immortal islands!

With more disciples on Jinqiao Island, although it was large, it had lost some of its tranquility, so many disciples found their own Daoist courts to cultivate in peace!

After all, they were not far away!

Seeing the large group, Hanzhi Xian was initially too scared to come out, but Ding Yue quickly explained, avoiding a major misunderstanding!

Even so, Hanzhi Xian was somewhat angry and annoyed with Ding Yue for the poor planning!

After enduring some cold glares, Ding Yue finally managed to bring the shy Hanzhi Xian out and back to Potala Island!

However, there was still Shi Ji. Upon inquiry, few knew the location of her Daoist court!

After some effort, Ding Yue finally found the place and hurried over!

Skull Mountain, White Bone Cave!

The name alone was not auspicious, and upon reaching the mountain, Ding Yue was speechless!

Skull Mountain was clearly a desolate and rugged place, with steep cliffs and sparse spiritual energy!

Although he did not see any ghosts or demons, the spiritual energy was very thin!

Frowning, Ding Yue entered the mountain, leaving the others to wait!

Was there something peculiar about Skull Mountain, or why would Shi Ji choose to live here? Moreover, in the future, after Shi Ji's death, the Immortal Ma Yuan also lived here!
