Three hours later, the room was a bit messy, and Ning Tian's mind was blank.
He seemed to have misunderstood something!
Yes, he misunderstood!
There was a rustling sound next to him, and Luo Wuqing still had a cold expression. She had put on her blue and white long dress again and wore her phoenix crown.
She glanced indifferently at Ning Tian, as if nothing had happened just now, her pretty face cold and unfeeling.
"Remember, come to the Demon Palace in the evening, we will hold the wedding ceremony as usual!"
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Ning Tian with only a graceful silhouette.
"What does she mean by all this?"
Ning Tian chuckled bitterly to himself, inadvertently catching sight of the traces of red on the bed, shaking his head with a sigh. An accident caused him to unwittingly take her innocence.
Is this like picking up a wife for nothing?
At this moment, the system's voice rang out.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the shocking feat, rewarded with ten years of cultivation experience!]
Following that, a continuous stream of spiritual energy burst forth from Ning Tian's body.
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the first level warrior!]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the second level warrior!]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the third level warrior!]
[…]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the ninth level warrior!]
[The host has made a breakthrough!]
[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to a one-star Xuanwu Master!]
In an instant, Ning Tian's strength had reached that of a first level martial artist, a realm some people couldn't achieve even after decades.
Yet in that moment, he had reached it instantly.
The power levels on the Tian Xuan Continent could roughly be divided into: Warrior, Xuanwu Master, Spirit Realm, Earth King Realm, Saint Emperor Realm, Heaven's Esteem Realm, Divine Emperor Realm, Demi-God Realm, and Ancestor God Realm!
And Ning Tian's accidental wife happened to be at the Divine Emperor Realm!
"Oh my goodness…" Ning Tian pursed his lips, deeply aware of the gap between him and Luo Wuqing!
However, he was not discouraged in the slightest; on the contrary, he licked his lips excitedly.
Did that mean he just did something unspeakable with a peerless powerhouse at the Divine Emperor level?
It must be said, the shocking reward from the system, the aura suppression, was really strong—it could even suppress a strong being at the Divine Emperor level!
"It looks like I have to start cultivating seriously!"
"I, Ning Tian, am not the kind of person who likes to live off a woman!"
Ning Tian clenched his fists. If he was weaker than Luo Wuqing, then how could he ever tell his empress wife the principle that 'the sky is high and the earth is wide, but the husband is the greatest'?
Following this, he sat cross-legged.
Feeling the endless spiritual energy of the grand universe entering his body.
Outside the room.
Luo Wuqing paused for a while, watching Ning Tian begin to cultivate within the room, her expression impassive, yet her heart was like a bottle of mixed flavors, complex and indescribable.
When the spiritual energy recovered just now, she nearly used her own spiritual energy to eradicate this rascal, but eventually, she held back.
For the greater good, she had to endure!
After taking a deep look at the room, Luo Wuqing turned and left, heading towards the back mountain of Demon Sect.
Along the way, many disciples of the Demon Sect saw her and showed reverence, bowing down to express their respect for Luo Wuqing.
Only after Luo Wuqing entered the forbidden area of the back mountain did they dare to straighten up their bodies, looking in the direction Luo Wuqing departed.
Discussion also spread at this moment.
"Have you heard? The empress is going to marry a nobody disciple who does chores in our sect!"
"Are you talking about Ning Tian? Someone who has been in the sect for three years but still remains a first-level warrior?"
"I can't understand why, such a nobody, how could the empress fancy him? Aside from being a little handsome, this guy is useless!"
The discussions were endless.
Many male disciples hated Ning Tian but also envied him; that was the empress! Not to mention her strong power, she was also exceedingly beautiful!
Having such a wife would be worth losing years of their life!
But at the same time, they couldn't understand why the empress would marry such a nobody?
Deep in the back mountain, a forbidden area belonging to the Demon Sect.
Luo Wuqing arrived in front of a sealed stone gate. She waved her hand, and the stone gate opened, welcoming her in.
Stepping in, the originally dark space became brightly lit.
On both sides of the walls, groups of green ghostly fires emerged. As she stepped inside, a giant statue appeared in front of her.
Luo Wuqing approached the statue and said lightly, "I'm going to marry someone with a divine body constitution, so the Demon Code should also be given to me, right?"
A flash of black light seemed to pass over the statue, but there was no response.
Seeing this, Luo Wuqing frowned. It was rumored that the Demon Sect had a supreme scripture called the "Demon Code," which, if cultivated, could guide one to becoming a god.
To break through the Emperor's Realm into the Divine Realm, a strong person at the Divine Emperor level needed guidance, and that was the scripture to become a god.
However, to obtain this Demon Code, there was a bizarre requirement.
The current sect master of the Demon Sect must marry someone with a divine body constitution to obtain the Demon Code.
She had searched for three whole years, only to discover a few days ago that the person with a divine body constitution was actually within her own Demon Sect!
Still, he was a nobody who, no matter how he cultivated, remained a first-level warrior!
Though he was a nobody, for the bigger picture, she still resolutely chose to marry him!
"Half a year later, when the Five Emperors, Three Esteems, and Two Emperors all invade, if I cannot break through to the Divine Realm, then how can I resist?"
"Could it be that my Demon Sect is ultimately going to be destroyed?"
Luo Wuqing murmured lowly, her indifferent tone carrying a hint of worry.
"Hopefully, he can really bring the Demon Code. Otherwise, the person who defiled my body, I'll have to kill him…"
…
At this moment, dusk.
Only half an hour remained until the Empress's wedding ceremony.
The entire large Demon Sect was bustling with activity. Powers from the Eastern Prosperity Kingdom and the Heavenly Spirit Realm came to offer congratulations.
But, more so, they were curious to see the nobody who could marry the empress—what sort of "holy" person he could be.
Inside the room.
Ning Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, dense spiritual energy circulating around his body, expelling a heavy breath.
Ding!
The system voice followed!
[Congratulations to the host for another breakthrough, reaching a Six-Star Xuanwu Master!]
With ten times the absorption of spiritual energy, in just a few hours, he had broken through five minor levels. If others knew about it, they would likely be shocked out of their minds!
Ning Tian opened his eyes, not in a hurry to get up, but instead checked his personal attribute panel.
[Host: Ning Tian]
[Strength: Six-Star Xuanwu Master]
[Physique: Divine Body Constitution]
[Cultivation Method: None]
[Martial Skills: None]
[Cultivation Progress: Tenfold Cultivation]
[Martial Comprehension: Tenfold Comprehension]
[Spiritual Energy Absorption: Tenfold Absorption]
Seeing his own attribute panel, Ning Tian discovered something he hadn't noticed earlier.
That was the Divine Body Constitution.
"System, what is this Divine Body Constitution?" Ning Tian asked.
System: "..."
Ning Tian: "..."
Alright, it seems the system doesn't want to answer.
Ning Tian shook his head, then got up. It was about time and, as one of the main participants in the marriage ceremony, he should not be late, should he?
He changed out of his shabby servant disciple's clothes and put on the attire prepared for him by Luo Wuqing. Satisfied, Ning Tian walked towards the main hall of the Demon Sect.
