Chapter 55 Cloud Dragon Grand Formation
The time has come.
Outside Shenhuoshan Manor, drums and music resounded, and auspicious omens swirled. The wedding procession of the Wangquan family was indeed as grand as Wangquan Baye had said, giving Zhouyi and Shenhuoshan Manor a great deal of face.
As the sky was bathed in rosy light, a magnificent procession stretched as far as the eye could see, its auspicious rays spreading like a thousand ribbons. On the ground, a ten-mile-long "Red Dress Road" paved with crimson brocade stretched out, flanked by golden-armored warriors wielding halberds and maids carrying flowers and lanterns, seemingly endless. In the air, the spectacle was even more magnificent! Hundreds of cultivators from royal families, all dressed in uniform festive attire, rode on flying swords or various magical flying artifacts, forming a series of dazzling aerial processions that stretched from the manor gates all the way to the unreachable depths of the clouds! The glint of swords and the fluttering of robes illuminated half the sky, while ethereal music filled the air. This was almost the entire elite force of the royal families, its solemnity and grandeur making it the grandest Dao Alliance wedding in hundreds of years.
As the woman's only elder and pillar of support at this moment, Zhou Yi, dressed in a solemn black robe, stood on the high steps of the main gate of the manor. He watched as Wang Quanba Ye, dressed in a bright red wedding robe and looking even more handsome and composed, approached step by step. Under the gaze of countless eyes, he solemnly placed the hand of Dongfang Huaizhu, who was wearing a red veil and a magnificent dress, into Wang Quanba Ye's hand.
"I entrust Huaizhu to you." Zhou Yi's voice was calm, yet carried an invisible weight.
Wang Quanba Ye bowed deeply with a solemn expression: "Senior brother, rest assured, I will never betray Huai Zhu in this lifetime."
Dongfang Huaizhu nodded slightly under the veil. Although her face could not be seen, the sense of peace and happiness she exuded was clearly palpable.
Then, supported by maids and amidst a shower of falling petals, Dongfang Huaizhu sat in the magnificent flying phoenix wedding sedan chair, which was pulled by nine spirit birds and adorned with pearls and gems.
As the sedan curtain slowly lowered, obscuring the red figure, and as Wang Quanba Ye mounted the auspicious beast that would lead the way, Zhou Yi suddenly felt a strange sense of emotion. This feeling—it truly was like watching his own carefully raised daughter get married in grand style.
However, it seemed as if the heavens were deliberately testing or confirming something. The sky, which had just been clear and sunny, suddenly darkened without warning! Large swaths of leaden-gray clouds gathered from all directions, churning and piling up, obscuring the sun in the blink of an eye. The light dimmed abruptly, and a damp mist filled the air, threatening to unleash a torrential downpour.
"This—" Butler Fei looked up at the sky, his brow furrowed and his face filled with worry. "Alliance Leader, although the auspicious time has arrived, the celestial phenomena have suddenly changed, which may not be a good omen. Perhaps—we should move inside the hall and wait for this sudden rain to pass before setting off?"
A slight commotion arose among the wedding procession and the aerial retinue, as everyone looked up at the sky, a touch of unease creeping into the festive atmosphere. Being soaked to the bone on their wedding day, or being forced to postpone the event, would certainly be considered unlucky.
Zhou Yi merely glanced at the dark clouds, his expression unchanged.
"It's alright." He uttered the two words calmly, as if the oppressive dark clouds were nothing more than a little moisture.
Before he finished speaking, he moved slightly and leaped into the air. His dark robes fluttered in the suddenly intensified wind as he flew straight towards the center of the sky, where the darkest clouds were the thickest and heaviest.
Just as everyone was looking up, wondering what the leader of the alliance intended to do, "Roar—!!!"
A vast, ancient, and extremely majestic dragon roar suddenly erupted from the heavens without warning!
The sound did not travel through the air, but directly shook the soul, as if it came from the ancient wilderness, carrying the supreme authority to rule over all rivers and mountains and to control the clouds and rain!
Then, amidst countless horrified stares, the thick, sky-covering clouds suddenly churned violently! The clouds converged, swirled, and stretched wildly—and in just a few breaths, condensed into an unimaginably enormous "cloud dragon"! Its head was rugged, its horns pierced the sky, its whiskers fluttered, and each scale was formed from the most condensed cloud energy, shimmering with a metallic sheen in the dim light. The dragon's body stretched for thousands of miles, hidden deep within the sea of clouds; even a single scale or claw revealed was enough to fill the field of vision, bringing an unparalleled sense of oppression.
Zhou Yi stood firmly atop the enormous dragon head that emerged from the sea of clouds and overlooked the earth! His black robes and dark hair contrasted sharply with the white, rolling dragon beneath his feet, making him appear like a deity in mythology who rode a dragon to patrol the heavens.
He looked down at the tiny mountain village, the ceremonial guard, and the living beings below, his gaze indifferent.
"Sing—!!!"
Yunlong let out another long roar. This time, the sound waves transformed into visible light blue ripples that spread outwards from the dragon's head in all directions!
Wherever the ripples passed, a miracle occurred!
The thick, heavy, and gloomy clouds, as if they had met their nemesis or as snow meeting the scorching sun, dissipated, retreated, and melted away at an incredible speed!
It was as if an invisible, giant hand of a god, wielding a blade of light, had ripped open the black curtain that covered the heavens and the earth from the center, and was constantly widening the tear in all directions!
The sunlight, golden, warm, and unreserved, like brilliant pillars of light, pierced through the remaining gaps in the clouds, descended upon the earth once more, and quickly merged into one, shining brightly in all directions!
In just a dozen breaths, the haze within a radius of thousands of miles vanished, and the blue sky reappeared! The sun shone brightly, even more so than before the rain, and the world was crystal clear!
Dispelling the dark clouds for miles is just a matter of a dragon's roar!
Below, inside and outside the Divine Volcano Manor, the royal guards and all those observing the ceremony, regardless of their cultivation level or social status, were utterly dumbfounded, gazing up at the figure in black robes standing atop the cloud dragon, and at the vast, clear sky that had been forcibly altered. Shock, awe, and reverence—a complex mix of emotions ultimately coalesced into a deathly silence.
"Let's set off."
The voice of the Book of Changes was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying an undeniable meaning.
Yunlong let out another gentler low groan, its massive head slightly adjusting its direction, and then began to move leisurely towards the Central Plains where the royal families were located at a solemn and gentle pace.
Wang Quanba took a deep breath, suppressing the raging storm in his heart, and waved his hand.
Immediately, the drums and music resumed, and celestial music filled the air. The ten-mile-long procession of red bridal procession on the ground began to move, and the hundreds of sword-wielding ceremonial cultivators in the air also rearranged their formation, carrying the magnificent flying sedan chair, closely following the cloud dragon that cleared the way.
A dragon led the way, slowly gliding across the azure sky. Wherever it passed, the clouds naturally parted, leaving behind a wide and bright path through the sky. Behind it stretched a joyous procession for miles, with swords flashing like a galaxy and colorful ribbons like rainbows.
The bridal sedan chair was surrounded in the center, like a bright moon surrounded by stars.
On this day, countless beings throughout the Southern Territory and neighboring regions, whether human, demon, or mortal cultivator, could witness this unprecedented spectacle simply by looking up: a wedding was taking place, with an earth-shattering display. Ten miles of red bridal procession stretched across the ground, and a hundred miles of ceremonial procession hung in the air.
Even more, a true dragon manifested, taking the clouds as its body, riding the wind, and clearing a path through the nine heavens!
With a dragon's roar, the dark clouds dispersed, leaving only the clear blue sky and the blazing sun to witness this cloud wedding—a ceremony destined to be recorded in history and personally escorted by the strongest being of the era.
A gentle breeze, carrying the unique freshness of the rain and the warmth of the sun, softly stirred the exquisite curtains embroidered with golden phoenixes in harmony on the side of the wedding sedan chair.
A tiny gap was lifted at the corner of the curtain.
Inside the sedan chair, Dongfang Huaizhu sat upright. Although her vision was obscured by a bright red veil, glimpses of her through the gaps...
The sudden, incredibly bright and dazzling sunlight, along with the even more magnificent and awe-inspiring exclamations and praises emanating from outside the sedan chair, stirred something within her.
She turned her head slightly and peered out through the crack.
What came into view was no longer the gloomy, impending rain, but a vast, boundless, crystal-clear blue sky! Sunlight poured down without obstruction, gilding everything in the world with a warm and glorious golden edge. In the distance, clouds, like tamed ribbons, encircled a vast, awe-inspiring, and indistinct cloud dragon; closer, there was a neatly arranged wedding procession, its swords gleaming, and below, a festive red that stretched to the horizon.
The sky is vast and boundless, the blue waves surge and roll, and a gentle breeze blows.
All these changes stemmed from the figure in black robes standing atop the dragon's head, and from her powerful yet meticulous senior brother.
There was no forceful coercion, no boasting of boundless magical power, only a simple "Let's go," followed by the supreme majesty of changing the world and the dragon's roar clearing the way, and—a deep and unwavering protective affection.
The last trace of unease caused by the sudden change in weather vanished completely, replaced by an unprecedented sense of peace and warmth, as well as a touch of indescribable bitterness and emotion.
Father, can you see this?
Today, Huai Zhu, adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, marries her beloved.
My senior brother treated me like a brother and a father, protecting me completely.
Shenhuo Mountain Villa has been rebuilt, and the Demon-Suppressing Sword has been completed.
The two things you cared about most in your life—your daughter's future and the inheritance of the mountain villa—have now found their best resolution.
She gently closed her eyes. Beneath the veil, her long eyelashes trembled slightly. A warm tear silently slid down her fair cheek and landed on the embroidery of her magnificent wedding dress, leaving a dark stain.
Her red lips parted slightly, and silently, yet with unparalleled clarity, she murmured in her heart to her beloved father, who had long since passed away but lived forever in her blood and memory: "Father—"
"You—can rest in peace now."
The breeze seemed to understand her words, opening the tiny gap in the sedan curtain a little wider, letting in more sunlight and gentle breeze to softly envelop the woman inside, dressed in her wedding gown and about to embark on a new life.
Outside the sedan chair, a dragon soared through the heavens, the ceremonial guards were magnificent, and the whole world celebrated.
Inside the sedan chair, a heart that had once wandered aimlessly and endured hardships finally found peace and stability amidst the sunshine and blessings.
