Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1213: Chapter 630: Fulfilling the Marriage Contract (Part 2)

As soon as he left the pavilion, Gu Yu couldn’t contain his curiosity, tugged at Gu Sheng’s sleeves, and asked, "Brother, where are we going next?"

Gu Sheng looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "I plan to find our mentor, to consult her about this Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate."

The mentor was placed in a small temple near the Water Spirit Pavilion. Though the temple wasn’t as grand and imposing as their former residence at Tianshan, it was serene and tranquil enough for her to live peacefully.

Gu Sheng and Gu Yu walked along the mountain path towards the temple. Along the way, Gu Yu chattered incessantly while Gu Sheng occasionally responded, his mind already drifting to the matter of the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate.

In no time, they arrived before the temple. The temple door was half-open, and Gu Sheng raised his hand to gently knock on the door, calling out, "Mentor, your student Gu Sheng has brought Gu Yu to visit you."

The door creaked open, revealing the familiar face of their mentor. Upon seeing Gu Sheng and Gu Yu, a delighted smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Sheng’er, Yu’er, you’re here, come in quickly."

The three of them entered the temple and sat down beside a stone table. The mentor poured them some tea and asked with concern, "Sheng’er, is there something you need to ask of your mentor on this visit?"

Gu Sheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Mentor, to be honest, I came here because of the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate."

The mentor said, "This Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate, is a defiance of the heavens. Your master, before he passed, once said that such matters carry significant karma.

Moreover, your situation is different from previous inheritors of the Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book; you can use it to sign the marriage contract at most three times, otherwise, there will definitely be life-threatening consequences, you must remember this."

Gu Sheng’s expression was solemn, and he nodded earnestly, saying, "Mentor, your student remembers."

The mentor hesitated for a moment longer and asked, "Sheng’er, now that you intend to sign the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate with Gongsun Yue, have you considered how this might affect your relationship with the Tianxuan Divine Girl?"

Gu Sheng slightly lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then said, "Mentor, I’ve already promised the Holy Mother, I cannot renege. Once the matter is resolved, I will explain everything clearly to the Tianxuan Divine Girl."

The mentor looked at Gu Sheng and said, "Forget it, your mentor supports your decision. I only hope everything goes smoothly for you; your mentor still awaits to drink your celebration wine."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, mentor."

After chatting about family matters with the mentor for a while, Gu Sheng took Gu Yu and bade farewell. After leaving the temple, Gu Sheng did not hesitate and headed straight for the Water Spirit Pavilion, determined to sign the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate with Gongsun Yue, ready to face whatever lay ahead bravely.

At the pinnacle of the towering Holy Heaven Peak, within the Heavenly Hall, the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch sat quietly on a meditation mat, eyes closed in meditation. Around him, spiritual power circulated, emanating a powerful and imposing aura.

Luo Xi stood quietly by his side, her expression struggling, full of discontent.

"Aunt, is there really no other solution?" Luo Xi couldn’t help but ask.

The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch opened his eyes, filled with helplessness, and said, "Xi’er, if it wasn’t a last resort, why would the Purple Spirit Realm Master make such a decision?"

Confusion flashed in Luo Xi’s eyes, and she said, "Aunt, I really don’t know what to do now."

The Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch gently patted Luo Xi’s shoulder and said, "Xi’er, this matter cannot be helped by others, just listen to your own heart."

Luo Xi was silent for a moment, then slightly nodded and said, "Aunt, I understand." She turned and left the Heavenly Hall quietly.

Standing at the peak of Holy Heaven Peak, Luo Xi gazed towards the direction of the Holy Land Peak, her thoughts drifting far away. She remembered the days of sharing hardships with Gu Sheng on the Holy Road, those moments of fighting side by side flashing before her eyes.

Also, thirteen years ago, the scene where she was saved by an old man, vaguely remembering a little boy praying sincerely by her side.

Tianlan Sacred Land.

Gu Sheng and Gongsun Yue sat facing each other, both seated cross-legged on smooth, glossy thousand-year-old jade.

This thousand-year-old jade was a treasure of the Tianlan Holy Land, having absorbed spiritual energy over countless years, bearing the weighty aura of history. They became the foundation stone for the ceremony to sign the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate between Gu Sheng and Gongsun Yue.

Both of them appeared solemn, surrounded by a faint halo of spiritual power, blending with the surrounding environment.

The Tianlan Saint Mother, seated in the upper place, wore a luxurious holy robe, her demeanor noble and her gaze filled with authority.

With a slight wave of her hand, she spoke, "Begin the ceremony."

Inside Gu Sheng, the Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book reacted strongly. His body slightly trembled as a profound Dao Light emerged from within him.

The Dao Light exuded a mysterious and ancient aura, its powerful connotations of the profound Law startling the Tianlan Saint Mother. As the ruler of the Tianlan Sacred Land, her vast experience had never encountered such strong and profound Power of Laws.

In front of this Dao Light, she felt a delusion: she was confronting the essence of Daoist Technique, a mysterious force transcending worldly possessions, controlling the operations of the universe.

Gu Sheng endured the discomfort caused by the surging spiritual power within his body, focusing fully on manipulating the Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book as his late master had meticulously instructed.

His hands moved swiftly in the air, threads of spiritual energy shot from his fingertips, wrapping precisely around the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate.

The marriage certificate was ancient and hefty, with specially crafted paper emitting a faint glow, inscribed with ancient and mysterious runes that swayed upon the touch of the spiritual threads.

This signing of the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate concerned the fate of the Tianlan Holy Land and allowed no room for error.

While controlling the Taiji Hunyuan Heavenly Book, Gu Sheng painstakingly wrote the birthdates and times for himself and Gongsun Yue on the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate.

As he wrote, the runes on the marriage certificate glowed ever brighter, responding to these two sets of birthdates, and the spiritual energy within the Water Spirit Pavilion began to surge violently.

Gu Sheng felt his energy rapidly depleting, his essence flowing away at a remarkable speed, even his lifespan was subtly being drawn out during this process.

At the final step, Gu Sheng bit his fingertip, letting a drop of crimson essence blood seep out. The essence blood contained his Life Origin Power, shrouded in spiritual energy, it flew towards the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate.

Gu Sheng concentrated, controlling the essence blood to inscribe his and Gongsun Yue’s names on the marriage certificate. The moment the names were written, the entire Water Spirit Pavilion trembled violently.

A lightning bolt streaked across the sky, tearing through the heavens.

Carrying an overwhelming power of destruction, the sky above Tianlan Holy Land lit up, the heavy clouds quickly dispersing, the gloom that had long shrouded the Holy Land gradually diminishing.

Every corner of the Tianlan Holy Land was illuminated by this sudden brightness.

The people in the Holy Land halted their actions, gazing up at the sky in shock.

The Tianlan Saint Mother felt a sense of ease spreading through her body, the oppressive sensation caused by her strange illness rapidly weakening. All of this was the change brought by signing the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate.

She recalled the rumors she’d heard about the Heavenly Dao Curse; it seemed the curse was indeed real, and Gu Sheng’s master had shielded the Tianlan Holy Land from this calamity at the cost of his own lifespan.

Thinking of this, the Tianlan Saint Mother’s eyes revealed a complex look, with gratitude towards Gu Sheng’s master and guilt towards Gu Sheng.

At the peak of Holy Heaven Peak, the Tianlan Saint Master witnessed this awe-inspiring scene. Dressed in resplendent attire, he stood there aghast, his eyes filled with shock and remorse.

He recalled his previous misunderstandings and injustices towards Gu Sheng, even in a fit of anger stripping Gu Sheng of his Saint Heir status. It seemed he had been terribly foolish, nearly causing a grave mistake.

Gu Sheng opened his eyes, revealing exhaustion. He slightly bowed to the Tianlan Saint Mother and said, "Holy Mother, I have exerted all my effort to sign the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate this time. My energy is depleted, and I wish to rest for several days to recover my energy before fulfilling the marriage vows."
