Family cultivation of immortality: from Fairy Cat Valley to the Nine Divine Realms

Chapter 1802 Walking the Great Path Together, Sharing Fortune and Misfortune

Jiao'er was still wearing an ice-blue, wide-sleeved fairy dress, but the hem of the dress was embroidered with more intricate and mysterious Dao runes in gold thread. She wore an ice crystal phoenix crown, adorned with nine bright pearls from the North Sea that shimmered with cold light.

She walked barefoot through the air, and with each step she took, an ice crystal lotus naturally bloomed beneath her feet.

Her stunningly beautiful face remained aloof, but her brows held less of their former haughtiness and more of an indescribable solemnity.

Although her lower abdomen remained flat, a careful observer could vaguely sense the vibrant life force and intertwined Daoist principles of ice and fire emanating from it.

The two walked side by side. Although their cultivation levels and auras were different and their races and temperaments were different, there was a strange sense of harmony between them when they walked together.

"Welcome the newlyweds!"

Below, guests from the Nine Realms, along with thousands of cultivators from the Immortal Gourd Realm, shouted in unison, their voices shaking the universe.

Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er slowly stepped onto the Heavenly Fate Platform along the Starlight Avenue and arrived at the towering Heavenly Oath Monument.

The ninth-tiered ancient whale, acting as the master of ceremonies, stepped forward and loudly recited the vows of mating, its resounding voice echoing throughout the surrounding fields:

"Heaven above, earth below, and all nine realms bear witness! Today, the Golden Immortal Venerable Jiao'er, a direct descendant of the Ancient Ice Dragon Clan, and Zhang Xuan, the outstanding young master of the Immortal Gourd Realm, have fallen in love with the Great Dao and are united in their immortal paths. They wish to become cultivation partners, sharing both fortune and misfortune, and working together on the Great Dao for eternity!"

"Please, newlyweds, take your vows!"

Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er exchanged a glance.

Zhang Xuan's eyes held solemnity and a promise.

A complex emotion flickered in Jiao'er's icy blue eyes, but it ultimately turned into determination.

The two simultaneously pricked their fingertips, using their own blood essence as a guide, mixed with a wisp of their innate Daoist aura, to write their names and vows of the Great Dao in mid-air.

Zhang Xuan's blood oath shone with golden light, containing the true meaning of all things and the aura of the immortal path.

Jiao'er's blood oath was a deep, azure blue, carrying the chilling Daoist aura of Ice Soul Reincarnation.

Two blood oath runes slowly rose up, merged and rotated in the air, and finally transformed into a dazzling light imprint of gold and blue, which slowly imprinted into the Heavenly Oath Monument!

boom!

The oath monument shone brightly, soaring straight into the sky!

High above, amidst swirling clouds, faint phantoms of dragons and phoenixes could be seen circling and howling.

Beneath the earth, spiritual veins resonate, surging forth with auspicious light.

Extraordinary phenomena appeared in the heavens and earth, and the sounds of the Great Dao resounded, as if the heavens and earth were celebrating the union of this special couple.

"The ceremony is completed——"

"Congratulations to Senior Jiao'er and Realm Lord Zhang Xuan on your marriage! May your paths shine together!"

Cheers erupted again like a tidal wave, bringing the atmosphere to its peak.

Next came a grand celebratory banquet.

The leaders of the Nine Realms stepped forward one after another, presenting the precious congratulatory gifts they had prepared in advance.

Various rare and precious materials, elixirs, cultivation manuals, and divine weapons were piled up like a small mountain.

Each item is priceless, enough to demonstrate the importance and blessings that all parties in the Nine Realms place on this newlywed couple.

Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er sat in the main seats, accepting the congratulations from everyone.

Zhang Xuan responded appropriately and chatted amiably.

Jiao'er remained aloof, but she would nod slightly in response to everyone's blessings, and occasionally a faint smile would appear at the corner of her mouth, which amazed countless people.

The banquet lasted for three whole days.

Three days later, the guests gradually left.

Deep within the Ice Soul Immortal Palace, in the newly built bridal chamber.

With red candles burning brightly and curtains hanging low, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Zhang Xuan and Jiao'er sat facing each other, speechless for a moment.

The hustle and bustle of the wedding ceremony had subsided, and now that only the two of them were alone, the reality of their unexpected union became all the more apparent.

Finally, Zhang Xuan broke the silence. He filled two cups with spirit wine brewed from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade marrow and pushed one of them toward Jiao'er.

"Jiao'er," he carefully considered his form of address, finding it more natural and intimate than calling him "Senior," "From today onwards, we will be Daoist partners."

"All that has happened in the past, whatever its cause, is now a matter of fate. I, Zhang Xuan, hereby swear that since we have formed this bond, I will not fail you, and I will do my utmost to protect our child and ensure his safe birth."

Jiao'er gazed at the amber-colored spirit wine swirling in the cup, her icy blue eyes gleaming with light and shadow.

She paused for a moment, then picked up her wine glass and lightly clinked it against Zhang Xuan's.

"We walk the path of righteousness together, sharing both fortune and misfortune." Her cool voice echoed in the quiet bridal chamber, a response to Zhang Xuan's vow.

Without saying another word, the two drank the spirit wine in one gulp.

The wine entered their throats, turning into a warm current that melted away some of the invisible ice wall between them, dispelling the last trace of awkwardness in the bridal chamber.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating Jiao'er's aloof and stunningly beautiful face.

Her icy blue eyes remained cool and aloof, but upon closer inspection, one could see subtle ripples and an indescribable tension deep within them.

Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, avoiding Zhang Xuan's gaze. Under the warm red candlelight, her fair skin and delicate bones seemed to glow with a faint blush.

Zhang Xuan's heart was also filled with turmoil.

Unlike the previous madness and confusion caused by the demonic invasion, both of them were now clear-headed.

One was a true immortal, and the other was an even more powerful golden immortal; their every emotion and reaction was crystal clear, leaving no room for concealment.

"Jiao'er..." Zhang Xuan spoke softly, his voice carrying a tenderness he himself was unaware of.

"Today, the ceremony is complete, and we are now officially Daoist partners. The dual cultivation of Yin and Yang is a fundamental principle of marriage, and also a complementary relationship on the Great Dao. Last time… it was an accident; we were both powerless to resist. Today, shall we…"

He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already clear.

Jiao'er's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt.

She remained silent for a long time, so long that Zhang Xuan thought she would refuse or push him away again with her cold and authoritative demeanor.

However, she finally nodded slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet clear enough to be heard: "As Daoist partners, we should naturally...do so."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head, her icy blue eyes looking directly at Zhang Xuan. Although the blush on her cheeks had not faded, her gaze had returned to its usual coldness and determination.

Zhang Xuan's heart stirred slightly, realizing that this was Jiao'er's pride and self-esteem.

He smiled slightly, not in a hurry to act, but said slowly, "Alright, the purpose of this dual cultivation is to exchange Daoist principles, stabilize our cultivation, and also nourish our embryonic essence. Jiao'er, your cultivation is profound, and the Ice Soul Dao is pure and vast. I would appreciate it if you could... provide some guidance."

Upon hearing this, Jiao'er's scrutinizing gaze softened slightly, and she seemed quite satisfied with Zhang Xuan's attitude.

She gently waved her hand, and the restrictions inside the bridal chamber silently and completely activated, isolating the place from the outside world.

Then, she stood up, and her ice-blue palace dress automatically slipped off like flowing water, falling to the ground to reveal her smooth and jade-like body.

Compared to a few months ago, her figure is indeed more voluptuous and attractive. Although her waist is still slender, her curves are more exquisite and undulating.

Her full breasts stood proudly erect, exuding a breathtaking allure.

Although her lower abdomen remained flat and smooth, the subtle life force and the strange aura of ice and fire intertwined within gave her an indescribable sense of holiness and allure.

Zhang Xuan's breath hitched slightly, and his gaze lingered on it uncontrollably.

Even on the second time he saw it, this body still captivated him.
