Time flew by, and it was the wedding day of Xuanyuan and Leizu!
Nuwa arrived early to officiate their wedding!
On Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones calculated the auspicious time and set off together!
Yuanshi, as usual, did not participate but had Taishang carry his gift. Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and Taihao also traveled with Taishang and Tongtian!
Taishang mounted his qingniu, and everyone set off towards the Feixiong clan's tribe!
As they traveled to the East Sea, suddenly, thunder roared and storms raged on a high mountain by the East Sea!
The qingniu under Taishang's crotch let out an angry roar towards the mountain!
Taishang gently patted the qingniu, then counted on his fingers, and looked at Tongtian with a smile.
"Third brother, your opportunity has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Tongtian also sensed a presence on the mountain that was drawing him in.
"Elder brother! What opportunity?"
Taishang shook his head, seeing Tongtian's excitement.
"Go and see for yourself!"
"Fellow Daoists, shall we go and take a look too?"
Taishang finished speaking, patted the qingniu, and the qingniu turned and headed towards the mountain.
Seeing Taishang's invitation, the others followed closely behind!
When everyone arrived, they saw a peculiar black water buffalo bathing in the lightning!
The black buffalo's horns were shaped like two crescent moons, and between its horns, on its brow, was a Taiji Bagua pattern!
Its entire body was enveloped in radiant light, with colorful auspicious clouds swirling around it!
Upon seeing this, everyone knew this spirit beast was no ordinary creature. However, being powerful cultivators themselves, they deduced that this spirit beast was fated to be with Tongtian.
Tongtian was immediately captivated by the black water buffalo. He had been immensely envious when Taishang subdued his qingniu, wishing he could also have a bull-like spirit beast as his mount. But he had never found a suitable one. He never expected such a surprise while delivering gifts for the Human Emperor!
Tongtian walked towards the water buffalo involuntarily. The water buffalo, seeing Tongtian approach, looked at him warily.
As Tongtian drew closer, it let out a roar, and the lightning surged towards him.
Tongtian casually waved his hand, obliterating all the lightning, and looked at the water buffalo with a smile.
"Little bull, you've got quite a temper! I like it!"
After speaking, Tongtian formed his left hand into a sword finger and pointed it at the Taiji Bagua pattern.
The moment Tongtian's finger touched the Taiji Bagua pattern, the pattern emitted a brilliant radiance! When the light dissipated, Tongtian was already seated on the buffalo's back!
Taihao and the others stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on acquiring your beloved mount!"
Tongtian chuckled and returned their greetings one by one.
"It's nothing! It's nothing!"
Seeing that Tongtian had subdued the Kui Niu, Taishang spoke.
"Alright, let's go. The wedding is about to begin!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace towards the Feixiong clan's tribe!
Taishang looked at Tongtian riding the Kui Niu, then at his own qingniu.
"No wonder later Taoists are called 'ox-noses.' It's not without reason. Both I and Tongtian, two patriarchs of Taoism, ride on bulls. The name 'ox-nose' is indeed fitting!"
At Xuanyuan's wedding, upon seeing Taishang and Tongtian arrive, everyone immediately presented the gifts they had prepared to Xuanyuan and Leizu!
Xuanyuan and Leizu were bewildered, as it seemed it wasn't time to present gifts yet.
It wasn't that everyone was too impatient, but rather that the Three Pure Ones were too competitive. After the gifts they presented at Shennong's wedding, their own gifts felt inadequate.
The three brothers had deep coffers, but others did not. They had no choice but to present their gifts in advance. This way, when the Three Pure Ones presented their gifts, theirs would already be given, and they wouldn't feel embarrassed by presenting something inferior.
Let the Three Brothers compete amongst themselves; they could even compete themselves to death!
As a result, by the time Taishang and Tongtian arrived at Xuanyuan's wedding, all the other guests had already presented their gifts, leaving only the Three Pure Ones' gifts yet to be given.
Taishang was startled, thinking to himself that these people were being inconsiderate! Taishang and Tongtian exchanged glances, brothers looking at each other.
After everyone else had presented their gifts, all eyes were on Taishang and Tongtian.
The three brothers were always generous, and some people came not so much to attend Xuanyuan's wedding as to see what gifts the Three Pure Ones would present this time.
However, since Taishang and Tongtian were Sages, even though everyone was curious about the wedding gifts, they did not dare to urge them.
But Nuwa saw the thoughts in everyone's minds and looked at Taishang and Tongtian.
"Fellow Daoists, everyone has presented their gifts. Are you two not going to let everyone have a look?"
Seeing that Nuwa had spoken, Taishang presented his wedding gift.
"Xuanyuan, my disciple, these are four Huang Zhong Li from your master. You and Leizu can each have two!"
Everyone was astonished, not by the preciousness of the Huang Zhong Li, which was valuable but not enough to shock them, but by the fact that Xuanyuan was Taishang's disciple. It was known that Taishang only had two disciples, Xuandu and Zhenwu. They never expected Taishang to quietly accept Xuanyuan as his third disciple!
However, everyone noticed that Xuanyuan did not possess particularly strong spiritual energy fluctuations, and they were puzzled as to why Xuanyuan, as Taishang's disciple, had such weak cultivation.
After thanking Taishang, Xuanyuan accepted the four Huang Zhong Li handed to him.
Taishang did not give the crowd time to ponder. After presenting his gift, he brought out Yuanshi's gift.
"This is the great wedding gift from your second senior uncle. Your second senior uncle could not attend due to matters, so he entrusted me to bring it."
Everyone saw Taishang holding a small pagoda in one hand and a treasured sword in the other.
No one could discern anything special about them, except for Tiandao and Houtu, whose eyes narrowed slightly.
"Human Dao spiritual treasures!"
Everyone's attention was on Taishang, waiting for him to explain the use of these two spiritual treasures. They did not notice the subtle changes in Tiandao and Houtu.
Taishang did not disappoint and then explained.
"This pagoda contains a Sumeru space within, forming its own world, vast and boundless. Furthermore, the pagoda is engraved with the Dao patterns of the Great Dao of Time. A thousand years within the pagoda is equivalent to a hundred days outside. It can serve as a place for your clan to cultivate in seclusion!"
Taishang only explained the Renhuang Pagoda. He did not explain the Renhuang Sword to Xuanyuan, leaving him to discover it later. He did not even reveal its name to Xuanyuan, handing both the Renhuang Pagoda and the Renhuang Sword to Xuanyuan.
Upon receiving them, Xuanyuan bowed towards Kunlun Mountain, as if thanking Yuanshi.
Tiandao and Houtu, hearing Taishang's explanation, both frowned. How could these Human Dao spiritual treasures be so ordinary? If they were told that Taishang did not know these two spiritual treasures were Human Dao spiritual treasures, they would never believe it.
However, they could not figure out Taishang's intentions.
After Taishang and Yuanshi presented their gifts, the two spiritual treasures remained a mystery to everyone, but they knew they were absolutely extraordinary.
All eyes suddenly shifted to Tongtian. Taishang and Yuanshi had presented their gifts, and everyone wanted to see what good things Tongtian would offer.
Tongtian smiled slightly, waved his large hand, and a modified diagram of the Ten Thousand Immortals Array and a small drum appeared beside him.
"Nephew Xuanyuan, this array was originally our Kunlun Mountain's protective array, named the Ten Thousand Immortals Array. I have since modified it to be suitable for your Human Race to wield, and it is now called 'All Hearts United.' I bestow it upon you today. Although it is not as powerful as 'United Will Against One,' if your clan wields it with unified hearts, it can subdue as many as can be subdued below the Sage level. You should use it wisely!"
"This small drum is called the Yu Gu. It is a congenital spiritual treasure, which I obtained many years ago. I bestow it upon you as well!"
After thanking Tongtian, Xuanyuan accepted the 'All Hearts United' array diagram and the Yu Gu. Tongtian glanced triumphantly at Taishang, as if to say,
"What do you think! Did my gift as one of the Three Pure Ones not shame you?"
Taishang pretended not to see Tongtian's smug expression.
As for the others, seeing the two spiritual treasures Tongtian presented, the Yu Gu was nothing remarkable, but the array diagram had to make each clan pay attention.
