Chapter 2 - 2: 2: Slamming to Death
He felt a persistent sense of resigned irritation.
All sorts of noisy sounds surrounded him, marked by the cacophony of drums and gongs, accompanied by the ceaseless crackle of firecrackers.
The atmosphere was incredibly festive.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Jiang Xiaobai wished he could see the scene outside.
But unfortunately, his hood was so clumsily secured that he could see nothing.
If not for the maids supporting him from all sides, he believed he would inevitably trip and fall.
“Congratulations, host, on triggering the choice.”
“Choice one: endure humiliation and keep the veiled hood on. Reward: One immortal-grade spirit pill.”
“Choice two: challenge the norms by pulling off the veiled hood. Reward: Instant elevation to the peak Foundation Establishment stage!”
“Note: Cultivation stages, in ascending order — Qi refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Yuan Infant, Transcendence, Dividing the gods, Fusion, Tribulation Crossing, Dacheng — are divided into three minor realms: early, middle, and late, along with a hidden fourth realm, the Complete Perfection!”
Jiang Xiaobai’s heart leaped for joy.
What sort of choice is this? Obviously, I should pull off the hood!
He possessed an Innate Divine Body, which could be utterly wasted if he does not cultivate it.
Moreover, the Complete Perfection stage sounded hugely powerful!
Without further ado, Jiang Xiaobai reached up and fiercely lifted off his veil.
Instantly, he felt the air become much fresher.
Everything within sight struck him as indescribably spectacular.
The sky was filled with countless auspicious and vibrant rainbows.
Turning his head, Jiang Xiaobai found himself perched on top of a low hill.
He was surrounded by a sea of red that spread for tens of miles around.
This was truly a sight ten miles adorned in bridal red.
Countless cultivators and mythical beasts of various kinds had gathered here.
There were at least tens of thousands of them and possibly many more.
This was indeed a grand wedding attended by countless guests.
The scale of the spectacle was so immense that it defied description.
This was the first time in his life that Jiang Xiaobai had witnessed such a grand scene, and for a moment, he was so stunned that he forgot to move.
“Groom!”
“How could you remove your veil!”
The maids were in a panic.
The veil was not supposed to be removed until the final stage of the ceremony.
More than ten maids tried to cover Jiang Xiaobai again.
But could they?
The system reward of a hundred years’ worth of cultivation instantly appeared as soon as Jiang Xiaobai removed his veil.
There was no delay!
Jiang Xiaobai experienced an explosive increase in his powers.
His powers leaped from zero to the Qi refining stage.
Qi refining, Intermediate stage!
Qi refining, Advanced stage!
Qi refining, Complete Perfection!
Breakthrough round!
Foundation Establishment stage!
What’s more, his cultivation level was still soaring.
Finally, it settled at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
A hundred years of cultivation, coupled with an Innate Divine Body were fearsome indeed.
In the Tianxuan Continent, even geniuses with exceptional talents, could not reach the advanced stage of Foundation Establishment in ten years starting from an ordinary human.
Those with inadequate spiritual roots might not even be able to break through the Qi refining stage!
The most they could achieve was perhaps the advanced stage of Qi refining!
Let alone now, his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Jiang Xiaobai felt an abundant surge of power within him.
With this new power, he felt like a much better version of himself.
This scene left the maids dumbfounded.
“No matter, let’s continue,” a deep, elderly voice interjected.
It was Ao Zhenbei, Ao Yan’s grandfather.
Ao Zhenbei’s gaze at Jiang Xiaobai was still chilly as ever, but now contained a hint of surprise.
Did this youngster dare to unveil his face?
However, now was not the time for inquiries.
The procession moved on and just after a few steps, Jiang Xiaobai saw a massive red platform appearing before him.
The wedding venue was here.
The eyes of tens of thousands of people were now focused on Jiang Xiaobai.
“He’s really just a mortal human.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, a mortal marrying the Dragon Valley Princess is truly a bizarre tale in the world.”
“I heard this guy was just randomly picked up by her outside.”
Amid endless chatter, the crowd was in an uproar.
From the expressions of the Dragon Valley’s young people at the front, Jiang Xiaobai could tell that they were quite happy.
Though Jiang Xiaobai did not understand why they were so amused.
“Honestly speaking, I’m just a mortal,” he mumbled.
“You robbed your goddess and don’t give anything in return?”
Jiang Xiaobai wondered in his heart.
In the crowd, a pair of gloomy eyes were staring at Jiang Xiaobai.
The man’s face was ashen, his fists clenched.
His body emitted an unfriendly aura.
“Boy, I hope you know your place, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”
Ao Tianheng humphed coldly in his heart.
However, Jiang Xiaobai naturally didn’t know this, and at this moment, he was standing awkwardly on the podium alone.
The protagonist of this unprecedented grand wedding, Ao Yan, had not yet arrived.
Jiang Xiaobai frowned as he waited in vain for her arrival.
Even if he was forced to come here, he deserved some respect.
“Hahaha, this silly kid.”
“I told you this guy is a clown.”
“Look at him, I don’t know what kind of luck he has.”
The sounds of many people’s discussions came over.
Jiang Xiaobai scanned the crowd and found that aside from a few people who paid little attention to him, everyone else seemed to enjoy watching his embarrassment.
“Congratulations to the host for triggering the choice!”
“Option One: Swallow your anger, ignore them, reward: one God technique.”
“Option Two: Be kind to others, establish good relationships, reward: a Qi refining technique.”
“Option Three: Fight back fiercely, reward: a Tianyuan Hun Lingdan (divine grade)!”
Upon hearing the wonderful voice in his mind, Jiang Xiaobai made his decision in less than three seconds.
He had long been unable to tolerate the mockery and ridicule.
All of a sudden, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
Then.
“Were you even fucking called!”
Suddenly, a roar of rage stunned everyone around him.
“Look at each and every one of you with your sour faces.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered: “What, sour grapes? Aren’t you upset that it’s not you marrying the princess?”
As soon his words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
The maids and guards standing around the wedding platform looked at Jiang Xiaobai in disbelief.
Those attending the wedding could hardly believe their ears.
“Just a mortal, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this!”
A muscular man who was sitting at the front suddenly stood up, emitting a terrifying aura.
This man was known as Demon Lord Qi Sheng, a late-stage gold pill cultivator!
That’s a realm beyond foundation building, among the ranks of golden pill masters!
However, Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled as to why the guests from Dragon Valley seemed to be not very strong?
What’s going on?
The strong ones didn’t come to the wedding? Didn’t they give face to Dragon Valley?
He even felt that this guy was weaker than the Dragon Valley guards standing next to him just now.
“Hmph, so it’s okay for you to talk, but not for me?”
Jiang Xiaobai was not afraid at all: “You old thing, shameless. I will just ask you one question, are you upset about my marriage with the princess?”
“You!”
Demon Lord Qi Sheng was choked by his words.
Did he dare say he was upset?
The Dragon Tribe kept quiet, who was he to make rash judgments?
“Heh, unable to speak?”
“Don’t think I don’t know, you were the happiest one mocking me just now.”
“Since you don’t object to this marriage, why do you dare to mock?”
“What, are you despising me or the princess?”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered.
When had Demon Lord Qi Sheng ever suffered such humiliation?
He immediately became murderously angry and said, “Of course I despise you, a worthless mortal! How dare you…”
“Hold on!”
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly interrupted: “So, you look down on me?”
“Of course.”
Demon Lord Qi Sheng snorted.
“Well, I’m the one the princess of Dragon Valley has chosen.”
“Dragon Valley doesn’t look down on me, who are you to? Are you better than Dragon Valley?”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Demon Lord Qi Sheng stood dumbfounded.
This was like a big hat being dumped on his head.
“You’re full of shit, when did I ever say that?”
Demon Lord Qi Sheng immediately shouted.
Jiang Xiaobai smirked.
“Do you really think everyone here is deaf?”
“You’re amazing, despising the Dragon Tribe in front of everyone in Dragon Valley.”
“Tsk tsk, have you thought about how you want to die?”
“Congratulations to the host for completing the selection, reward has been issued!”
