The Marriage of Mu Tianzun

Chapter 1628: Mu Tianzun’s Marriage

The Heavenly Court floated quietly above the ancestral temple. The news that Fire Lord had rebelled and killed the newly promoted Yin Lord and Azure Dragon Lord certainly caused a sensation in the Heavenly Court. But soon news came that Fire Lord had committed heinous crimes and had been beheaded, which made everyone feel relieved.

Even if there were any noises and rumors in the Heavenly Palace, they would not cause much waves, because Yan Yizi personally went to the Heavenly Palace and apologized to Emperor Haotian, saying that he was willing to bear the sins committed by his master, Huo Tianzun.

Emperor Haotian appreciated his filial piety and loyalty, so he showed great mercy, pardoned his mistakes, and allowed him to be buried with honor. He also appreciated Huo Tianzun's contribution to the world and the heaven, and although he deprived him of the title of Supreme Heaven, he still retained the title of Heavenly Lord and buried him with the ceremony of Heavenly Lord.

——However, Huo Tianzun’s body was torn into pieces after his death, so Yan Yizi just found a man who looked similar to Huo Tianzun, killed him, put him in a coffin, and filled it with treasures.

Yan Yizi started a massive construction project to build a mausoleum to bury this fake Fire Lord. He cried until he fainted in front of the mausoleum several times and even wanted to commit suicide to accompany Fire Lord in the mausoleum to prevent his master from feeling lonely.

All the civil and military officials who were watching the ceremony in Heaven sighed repeatedly, saying that Fire Lord had accepted a good disciple, who was as loyal and righteous as Fire Lord in his youth.

Everyone rushed forward to stop him, so he didn't do anything stupid.

There was mourning throughout the heavens, and they buried Fire Tianzun, Yin Tianzun and Azure Dragon Tianzun.

——Yin Tianzun died with no intact body, so there was a cenotaph, and Qinglong Tianzun was left with only a head. Emperor Haotian took pity on his loyalty and ordered people to use the divine gold to build a body for Qinglong Tianzun and sew it together with the head.

On the day of the burial, Emperor Haotian came in person and also shed tears. He held the coffin and cried loudly. Civil and military officials followed suit and cried. Later, the seven oldest ministers in the Heavenly Court came forward and advised the Emperor to take care of his health for the sake of all living beings in the world. Only then did Emperor Haotian stop grieving.

After the funeral, Emperor Haotian gave more rewards and promoted Chidi Qi Xiayu as the Celestial Lord of the South Sky, with Yan Yizi as his assistant, Western Emperor as the Celestial Lord of the West Sky, Eastern Emperor Qing as the Celestial Lord of the East Sky, and Dongji Heaven as the retirement place for the retired emperor Taichu.

Emperor Haotian appointed a new Northern Emperor and promoted Taiyin Tianzun, one of the ancient Tai Chi gods, as the Tianzun of the North Sky and Taiyang Tianzun as the Tianzun of the Yuanjie.

For a moment, there was an uproar in heaven, some were happy and some were sad.

After Emperor Haotian bestowed the reward, he returned to the palace. Someone presented him with a jade box. Emperor Haotian waved his hand and asked the surrounding Jinwu guards to retreat. He opened the jade box and saw the head of Yu Cangqi, the reincarnation of Emperor Langxuan, placed in the jade box.

Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "Brother Langxuan, how are you?"

In the jade box, the head of Lang Xuan's reincarnation opened his eyes and said, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Your Majesty, why bother to say more? Just send me on my way."

Emperor Haotian laughed loudly: "The Emperor knows that I am suspicious by nature, and he even kept your soul sealed in your head to dispel my doubts. Brother, do you hate the Emperor for doing this?"

Lang Xuan said: "The imperial family is originally heartless, so where does the resentment come from?"

Emperor Haotian nodded, crushed his bones and scattered his ashes, and threw his soul into the Guixu Abyss to be obliterated. He smiled and said, "I can rest easy now!"

At this time, his clone in Yankang flew over and merged with his original spirit.

Emperor Haotian was furious and said, "How dare you, a foolish barbarian from the lower realm, humiliate me like this!"

He took back his soul, and his cultivation strength increased significantly. He stood up and was about to kill Xing An himself. Suddenly he laughed and said, "He is also a talent. If he can be recruited to the Heavenly Court, he can be appointed as the Heavenly Lord of Zaofu Heavenly Palace. He can detect the loopholes in my skills, so he can be reused and help me perfect my skills. Let's leave this matter to Mu Tianzun."

He drew a picture of Xing'an, called the Jinwu Guards, and said, "Go down to the mortal world to see Mu Tianzun, and ask him to find this person and send him to the heaven. I have an important position for him."

Several Jinwu Guards said yes and immediately went down to the mortal world.

The spiritual energy bridge had not been closed at this time, and the Jinwu guards arrived at the capital of Yankang in one or two days. They saw that Yankang's upper and lower capitals were decorated with lights and were very lively.

A few Jinwu Guards asked around and someone said, "Emperor Yanxiu abdicated, and the former Emperor Yanfeng was released from prison and ascended the throne again. Imperial Master Qin also gave up the position of Imperial Master and gave it to the former Imperial Master Jiang. Imperial Master Jiang was also released from prison."

A Jinwu Guard laughed and said, "What's so worthy of the decoration? It's just that the original emperor and imperial teacher have been replaced."

"You don't know."

People told them, laughing, "Master Qin and Emperor Yanxiu had an agreement that they would get married after abdicating! There had been chaos before, and Emperor Yanxiu had been sitting on the throne for this promise. The ministers in the court repeatedly advised him to open a harem, select talented people to fill the harem, establish a concubine and empress, and have a son or daughter, so as to continue the prosperity of the country. But they were all rejected by the emperor. This time the emperor abdicated to marry Master Qin!"

The Jinwu Guards looked at each other and asked tentatively, "Could this Qin Guoshi who married the emperor be Mu Tianzun?"

"Isn't it? The Imperial Master cannot marry the Emperor. After the Emperor abdicates, it will be Princess Xiu. And after the Imperial Master abdicates, it will be Mu Tianzun, and he can marry the Princess."

Someone told them: "The Heavenly Lord said that after marrying Princess Xiu, he would return to Yongjiang to be a cattle herder and no longer care about the troubles of the world!"

The Jinwu Guards discussed quietly and said, "Mu Tianzun is going to retire. Now it is not him who is in power in Yankang, but Emperor Yanfeng and Jiang Guoshi. How can we explain to His Majesty now? Who can capture the person in the painting?"

"Mu Tianzun is getting married and retiring. This is a matter of great importance. One of you should go back first and report this to His Majesty. We will go to see Emperor Yanfeng and Imperial Master Yankang and ask them to capture this man."

So a Jinwu guard left in a hurry.

Emperor Haotian was diligent in his government affairs and was reviewing memorials when the Jinwu Guard came, knelt down and told him about this matter.

Emperor Haotian put down the memorial and said in surprise: "Is Mu Tianzun going to get married and retire? Did I hit this guy too hard? I am still waiting for him to go to heaven, kowtow to me, flatter me, and please me! It's a bit early for him to retire now..."

The Jinwu Guard said, "Your Majesty, Yankang's trips to and from the capital are very lively. It is likely that Lord Mu will get married in the next two days."

Emperor Haotian smiled and said, "I have always admired Lord Mu Tianzun's great talent and strategy. It would be better if he retired. It would be better if he never recovered! I don't want him to become the second Lord Huo Tianzun. His threat is much greater than that of Lord Huo Tianzun. I want the Ministry of Revenue to open the treasury and give me a batch of gifts to send to Yankang to celebrate Lord Mu Tianzun's wedding."

He stood up and said with a smile: "The wedding of Lord Mu Tianzun must be a grand and lively one, with a grand funeral... Pah, a grand and glorious wedding!"

He sighed, but smiled: "The era of Lord Mu Tianzun has passed just like that, which makes me sigh. When you return to Yankang, tell Lord Mu Tianzun that I am busy with official duties and have no time to go and congratulate him in person. When he retires to Yongjiang, I will visit him in casual clothes and have a drink with him."

The Jinwu Guard left in a hurry.

On the other side, several Jinwu Guards who stayed in Yankang went to meet Emperor Yanfeng and Imperial Master Jiang Baigui.

Emperor Yanfeng hurriedly received the envoy. Several Jinwu guards presented Emperor Haotian's painting to Emperor Yanfeng. Emperor Yanfeng took it respectfully, placed it in front of the table, burned incense and offered sacrifices. Then he unfolded the painting of Emperor Haotian, looked at it carefully, and could not help but ponder.

Jiang Baigui, the Imperial Preceptor of Yankang, stepped forward and also looked at the painting. Both the emperor and his minister pondered for a long time.

The Jinwu guards said, "You two, His Majesty wants to capture this man not to kill him, but to make him the Lord of Zaofu Palace. It is his blessing! Why are you acting like this?"

"Three envoys."

Emperor Yanfeng said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty's paintings are magical and flying, they are heavenly books. The reason why we are pondering is that we don't understand them very well."

The three Jinwu Guards sneered, stepped forward to take a look, and also hesitated.

The painting of Emperor Haotian was too freehand. The person in the painting was crooked and his appearance could not be seen. At his feet was something that looked like a dog but had no tail, and also looked like a box.

The only recognizable words were from Emperor Haotian, which read: "The person's name is unknown, and he looks very similar to the divine artifact Yutianzun, in the form of a teenager."

Yankang Imperial Master pondered and said, "It looks exactly like the divine artifact Yu Tianzun. Where can we find such a person? Please ask the envoy to return to His Majesty and tell him that Yankang will do its best to search for this person. As for whether it can be recruited..."

He looked embarrassed.

The three Jinwu Guards understood that trying to find this person based on the painting of Emperor Haotian alone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, even Emperor Haotian didn't know that person's name, making it even more difficult to find him.

The Jinwu Guards said goodbye, and Emperor Yanfeng said quickly: "My princess will marry Lord Mu in the next few days. The envoys don't have to rush back. Let's have the wedding wine first. I also need to prepare some gifts, which will take a day or two to present to the envoys."

The three of them looked at each other, nodded slowly, and said, "Mu Tianzun is the Tianzun who passed on the method of longevity. His merits are immeasurable. It is his wedding, and we should stay and watch the ceremony."

The three of them stayed, and Emperor Yanfeng served them with the best wine and food, and ordered people to prepare all kinds of rare treasures and send them to their residence.

Emperor Yanfeng ordered his men to take the three Jinwu Guards to the largest factory in Yankang, and let them choose the magic weapons made by the factory. The three were very happy and thought to themselves, "This Emperor Yanfeng is a man who knows what's interesting."

Emperor Yanfeng said to Imperial Preceptor Yankang: "The wedding of Lord Mu Tian can delay the wedding for a while, and can also make Emperor Haotian relax his vigilance. During these days, the Heavenly Court will not use troops against Yankang, and the negotiations between the Heavenly Court and Yankang can be delayed for a few more years."

"Your Majesty should not be too optimistic."

State Master Yankang said, "Yu Chenzi brought Yankang, who is good at speaking and stirring up trouble, to negotiate with the Heavenly Court. According to the original plan, the negotiations could be delayed for a few years. But now, Emperor Haotian has eliminated Huo Tianzun, and Taichu dares not show his head and dares not compete with him for interests. There is no need to mention Zushenwang, Xu Tianzun, and Taiji Ancient God! And there is only one force in the Heavenly Court, and that is Emperor Haotian! I am afraid that Yu Chenzi's delaying strategy will not work."

Emperor Yanfeng frowned and said, "That's why Mu Tianzun and Yuxiu abdicated and got married, allowing us to step into the spotlight, hoping to delay it for a few years."

Imperial Master Yankang nodded and said, "They got married and retired because of the pressure Yankang was under. It's hard for Princess Xiu."

Emperor Yanfeng looked strange: "I think she is very happy. She has relaxed all of a sudden these days and is very proud of everyone she sees... Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up——"

————Well, I solemnly tell you that Xiao Mumu is getting married!!!
