The chessboard world finally stabilized and returned to its normal time flow.

In summer, the dome floats high in the sky, and looking out, the entire small world appears even larger and more real.

Previously, its area was equivalent to that of the capital city; now it has expanded more than ten times, and is about the size of a province.

Even more amazingly, through countless cycles of life and death, this world has evolved many new species, making biodiversity even richer.

At this moment, in the northeastern corner of this world, something has changed.

Summer Sky teleported over and found the area shrouded in gray mist.

Manager Hu once told him that after the second evolution of the Sealed Ghost Chessboard, it would open a passage to the Ghost Realm.

This passage is peculiar; humans can pass through it, but the eerie cannot.

In other words, humans can freely enter and exit the realm of the supernatural through this passage, but the supernatural cannot enter the chessboard world.

This feature is practically tailor-made for humans.

Xia Tianqiong tried it out. He walked into the gray fog and emerged from it in about half a minute, appearing in the ghost realm. On the other side was a desolate place, with no ghosts within a hundred miles.

He glanced at it only once before returning to the world of chess.

Subsequently, a wooden sign was erected on the edge of this area, clearly describing the characteristics of the passage to prevent others from accidentally entering.

Now, only three blank areas remain on the chessboard, located in the northwest, southwest, and southeast directions.

There shouldn't be any useless areas here. According to the previous pattern, this should be a place where the Ghost King, or even the Ghost God, is sealed.

There must be more changes after the seal is put in place, but Manager Hu didn't tell him about it before.

Xia Tianqiong thought for a moment, took out the gold note, and contacted the other party again.

Manager Hu quickly replied: "Mr. Xia, I'm so sorry, I didn't tell you all the information about the Fenggui Chessboard last time."

Because I didn't expect you to reach your current strength, I can now tell you that the remaining three areas, if you seal two more Ghost Kings and one Ghost God, are said to be able to evolve into a true human world, just like the human world you live in; the world is a sphere.”

Xia Tianqiong wasn't particularly surprised, though she had some guesses in her mind.

After chatting with Manager Hu for a couple more minutes, we ended our conversation.

He does have a Ghost King now, but he has never seen a Ghost God, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the ability to seal him away.

Therefore, this chessboard world can only remain as it is, and there probably won't be any more opportunities for evolution.

Xia Tianqiong left the chessboard world and returned to the floating city.

Only six days have passed since the discovery!

The city was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, filled with a joyous atmosphere. All the guests knew that the master of the floating city was getting married, and that he was marrying a demon king.

Various shops also took the opportunity to launch promotional activities, attracting countless customers to queue up.

He walked down the street, shaking his head and chuckling to himself.

He only asked for a simple wedding venue setup, but it ended up becoming the talk of the town.

It's no surprise that it was Song Shiqiao who arranged it; she's the only one who wouldn't miss any opportunity for marketing.

He's definitely an expert at making money!

Not long after Xia Tianqiong arrived in the city, the deliveryman Gui rushed over.

"Master, Leng Manjin asked me to pass on a few words to you."

He relayed the words of the Leng family father and son in detail, which surprised Xia Tianqiong slightly.

No wonder Leng Tianpeng possessed the True Spirit Dao Scripture; it turns out he was connected to the treacherous gods of the upper realm.

It seems that the Upper Realm also intends to deal with Jun Shisan!

If only I could contact the upper realm and ask them for help, or get the other half of the true scripture, perhaps that would be able to deal with Jun Shisan.

"Have the Leng family father and son left?" Xia Tianqiong asked.

"They haven't left yet. They said they'd leave after attending their master's wedding," the delivery guy replied.

“Provide him with good food and drink, and give him some more money from the underworld. Tell Leng Tianpeng that if the upper realm contacts him, he should ask me about the True Spirit Dao Scripture. We can discuss any conditions. It would be best if that evil god could contact me directly.”

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

"Wait a minute, while I was away, did the Ghost Bride come by?"

"No."

"I need to continue my cultivation. If she comes, go to Xiao Tao's Ghost Realm and call me."

"Yes, Master."

"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Oh, and if I'm not around one day, you have to take care of your family and make sure they live well."

After Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, she turned and left.

The deliveryman's smiling face suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at the deliveryman's back, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"Master, I will follow you forever, in life and in death."

Xia Tianqiong turned around and smiled nonchalantly, "I was just saying 'what if,' who dies is still uncertain! Besides, my words are orders, and they must be carried out."

"But……"

Before the delivery guy could say anything more, Xia Tianqiong vanished on the spot.

He knew that he had entered Xiao Tao's mysterious realm.

...

Within the Ghost Realm, Xia Tianqiong continued to comprehend the True Spirit Dao Scripture in the time-accelerated zone.

Although he gained a deeper understanding of this Taoist scripture while evolving the world, and even comprehended a secret technique from it, he still lacked the confidence to fight against Jun Shisan.

That guy is truly legendary; no one's talent can compare to his.

Xia Tianqiong could only keep working hard and not waste a single moment.

Fortunately, one day outside is equivalent to more than a year here. He studied the True Spirit Scripture while waiting for the arrival of the ghost bride.

As a result, they waited for more than ten years!

More than ten days have passed outside, and they still haven't come.

Xia Tianqiong suddenly felt a little worried. The Ghost Bride had said she would come in a few days, so it shouldn't have taken this long.

Did something happen?

She is now considered a half-step demon god, and no one in this realm should be able to do anything to her.

Could it be that she doesn't want to get married?

Just as he was considering whether or not to go look for her, the ghost bride finally arrived.

In a certain mansion in the floating city, Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride meet.

Xia Tianqiong asked directly, "Sixiang, you haven't come for so long, do you not want to marry me anymore? If you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself."

He spoke with a smile, but he was very serious.

The wicked bride lowered her head slightly and remained silent for a moment before speaking, "My lord, I have wanted to marry you from the very beginning, but you should have guessed that my motives are not pure."

But my love's feelings for me make me feel guilty, and I've been struggling with whether or not to marry him these past few days.

Xia Tianqiong suddenly smiled brightly and asked softly, "Have you thought it through?"

The mysterious bride shook her head: "I haven't thought it through. Let my husband make this decision!"

"Hehe, you want me to make the decision? Then what's there to hesitate about? Let's have the wedding tomorrow."

"My lord, won't you ask me why I want to marry you?"

"I guessed some of it, but it doesn't matter! Some things may have been destined long ago, and have nothing to do with you. There's no need to overthink it. You've never wronged me. Without your help, I wouldn't have had such a smooth journey. I might have died in the mouth of some strange creature long ago."

Xia Tianqiong spoke with great nonchalance.

But the more nonchalant he seemed, the more the ghost bride felt heartbroken.

“Alright, let’s hold the wedding tomorrow. No matter what, my husband is Xia Tianqiong, and no one else.”
