After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride took their seats together.
The auspicious time has arrived; the wedding ceremony begins.
Xiao Tao wore a bright red wedding dress embroidered with pink peach blossoms, and a red veil on her head, through which her beautiful face could be faintly seen.
The infant tree ghost was dressed in a black cloud-patterned robe with a large red flower hanging on its chest, and its big mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
Marrying Xiao Tao had always been his dream, and now it had finally come true.
Their love story had already spread throughout the entire ghost realm.
Everyone knows that Xiao Tao is a peach tree of the Infant Tree Demon species. Later, she evolved into a Tree Demon and followed Xia Tianqiong in his conquests, eventually becoming the current commander of the Guardian Army.
Because of this love story, a craze for planting peach trees swept through the ghost realm, making the tree ghosts a fortune.
The wedding ceremony was very simple, just like when Xia Tianqiong had her ghost marriage.
After the wedding, the banquet officially began.
"Boss, boss's wife, let's toast you."
Ying Shugui brought Xiao Tao to offer a toast.
After drinking, Xiao Tao asked pitifully, "Boss, the Ghost Realm is peaceful now, and I'm so bored being the commander of the guards. Can you take me out to play?"
Xia Tianqiong smiled and shook his head, "You're married now, you need to be more mature. Fighting and killing aren't suitable for you. When you advance to the level of a Ghost God, I'll teach you the method of reincarnation, and then I'll take you to other human worlds."
"The boss is so nice!" Xiao Tao cheered and left satisfied.
As soon as Xiao Tao left, the delivery guy sitting to Xia Tianqiong's right suddenly grabbed his sleeve, looking pitiful.
"Master, with my talent for cultivation, I may never reach the level of a Demon God in this lifetime. Does that mean I can no longer follow you? Are you going to abandon me?"
The table, which was occupied by more than a dozen core members, suddenly fell silent.
Xia Tianqiong quickly pulled her arm back, laughing and scolding, "Get lost, stop with these cheesy scenes, you're making me sick."
"Hahaha!"
The other members at the table burst into laughter.
Next, the delivery ghost, Xiao Ba, and the mirror ghost took turns toasting and reminiscing about some funny stories from the past.
Beyond nostalgia, there was also a strong sense of probing in his words.
They all wanted to travel around with Xia Tianqiong and didn't want to stay in the Heavenly Court to retire.
Xia Tianqiong finally couldn't take it anymore and said with a helpless smile, "Alright, I'll take you guys with me next time I go to the human world, but don't nag me."
"Yay! Long live the boss!"
Cheers erupted again, immediately attracting countless eyes.
Xia Tianqiong felt happy too as she watched them being as happy as children.
These guys are all now in high positions of power and have considerable strength, yet they still like to follow me, just like before.
Suddenly, he sensed that the strange bride beside him seemed unhappy, as if she had something on her mind.
"Sixiang, what's wrong?" Xia Tianqiong asked telepathically.
The Bride with the Ghostly Bride shook her head slightly. "It's nothing, I'm just a little sentimental. My husband's subordinates are getting stronger and stronger, all following in his footsteps, but my progress is too slow."
“You’re already a god of evil; they’re still a long way from catching up with you.”
Over the past thousand years, Xia Tianqiong has taught the Ghost Bride the first half of the True Scripture, the True Spirit Devouring Technique, the Reincarnation Secret Method, and the Sealing Technique.
She also restored her own damaged true spirit by devouring true spirits.
Previously, I thought that my true spirit was incomplete, which would prevent me from advancing to the level of a demon god.
However, it was later discovered that as long as one devours enough, or the talent of the devoured target is high enough, one can also break through to the level of a demon god.
The Ghost Bride achieved the position of Ghost God more than four hundred years ago.
However, her strength as a demon god was very ordinary. Fox Qianjiuyue and the Three-Eyed Demon King became demon gods one after another, two or three hundred years later than her.
But they were all much stronger than her, which greatly discouraged her and became an unresolved issue in her heart.
Ultimately, it's because one's own true spirit is incomplete; no matter how much an ordinary true spirit devours, it cannot make up for it.
Unless one spends hundreds of thousands of years, like Jun Shisan, searching for those exceptionally talented humans or supernatural beings, one cannot make up for the lack of talent.
The Ghost Bride couldn't wait that long, and she didn't like Jun Shisan's method of reincarnation.
Seeing her frowning, Xia Tianqiong suddenly felt a pang of heartache. "Actually, there is a way to find your lost true spirit."
"What method?"
The ghost bride's eyes lit up, filled with surprise.
Xia Tianqiong laughed and said, "Do you remember when you were killed to save me, you set up a rule of heaven and earth before you died?"
Without a second thought, the ghost bride blurted out, "If one day we are reincarnated in the same world, we are destined to meet and to be together in love!"
"Yes, that's the rule. I'll take out half of my true spirit and let it enter the cycle of reincarnation. Then I'll have a chance to meet the reincarnation of your other half of the true spirit, and then I can find it back."
"But there are countless worlds in the human realm, and the probability of being reincarnated in the same world is very small."
"It's okay, time can increase the probability, you'll encounter it eventually."
Even if our reincarnated selves meet in some world, how do we find that world? How do we bring them back?
"That's easy. With my current strength, I can sense the location of the other half of the true spirit no matter how many worlds are in between. Since we're going to invade one human world after another anyway, we'll just go find the world where my true spirit reincarnates."
If my reincarnation doesn't encounter your reincarnation, then kill him beforehand to expedite his reincarnation. This will shorten the time required and increase the probability of success.
Upon hearing this, the ghost bride's pretty face lit up with joy, but then she frowned slightly.
