This dinner was especially delicious.
No longer lost, no longer waiting to die, because the elderly couple, Old Wu and his wife, have found their direction.
They are subjects of the Celestial Empire, and they also respect the will of the Heavenly Emperor, which they have always upheld.
But the result of this veneration was that his son, who had joined the army to serve his country, died tragically without cause, and the result of this veneration was that he struggled bitterly and could only wait to die.
But things are different now. She has a son waiting for her to get married and to serve tea to them on their wedding day.
They didn't want to die, nor did they want to die again, so they wanted to fight against their fate in their own way.
He wanted to fight for himself, for his son, and for the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor.
They were just ordinary people who put their families before their country, hence the saying "family, country, and the world."
Home comes first.
As usual, Old Wu was the first to arrive at the Imperial Observatory the next day; investigating the vast national destiny was his daily routine.
The people of the Imperial Observatory were used to this kind of thing; it had been the same for decades. So, when he wandered around the Imperial Observatory, there was no one to monitor him.
No one believed that this cowardly, hunched-over old man could do anything, and even less did anyone believe that this old fellow, who didn't dare to utter a word even when his son died unjustly, would dare to do anything detrimental to the Celestial Empire.
Now, the people of the Imperial Observatory are helpless in the face of the enormous loss of national fortune, and they devote most of their energy to consulting ancient texts, hoping to find some way to stop the loss of national fortune.
At least find a way to avoid being the first to be executed.
Old Wu has been widely recognized as the first person who will inevitably die if he takes the blame.
Who would pay much attention to a dead person?
Old Wu smiled and nodded to the guards at the teleportation array, and the guards returned the greeting symbolically. They didn't notice that Old Wu had an extra small package in his arms after he stepped into the teleportation array.
The light from the teleportation array faded, and Old Wu appeared inside the secret realm where the vast destiny of the Celestial Empire resided.
Beneath his feet was a steep, straight cliff, and before the cliff stretched the boundless ocean of national destiny.
Over millennia, the destiny of the Celestial Empire has accumulated into a vast ocean. This once tranquil ocean of destiny is now surging and churning, with giant waves rushing toward the southwest.
The southwest direction is where the fate of the Celestial Empire collapsed and flowed away.
Looking at the sea of national destiny before him, Old Wu slowly opened the small package in his hand, which contained a compass no bigger than the palm of his hand.
"The Celestial Empire was founded with the sword as its eye, the formation as its foundation, the power of the Heavenly Dao as its dam, and the national destiny of ten thousand years as a sea."
After speaking, Old Wu placed the small compass in his palm.
"Everyone knows that the vast national fortune of the Celestial Empire can protect its people and strengthen its military formations, but they do not know that this sea of national fortune is only for nurturing swords, and is also the source of the immense power of the Heavenly Emperor City's formations."
As he said this, a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"But what the world doesn't know is that my Wu family ancestor was the one who built and opened up this sea of national destiny, and also the one who buried the sword in this place of nurturing swords."
"Ten thousand years have passed, the original intention of the Celestial Dynasty is no more, and the Wu family has declined. I have adhered to the ancestral teachings to protect the fate of the nation and ensure its longevity. But fate is cruel, and my Wu family has died out."
"It was wiped out by the Celestial Empire that has silently protected it for thousands of years."
As he spoke, a strange and terrifying aura suddenly rose from Old Wu's body. The compass in his hand rose up and suddenly grew larger. The force of the aura blew up Old Wu's robes and also his gray hair and beard.
“Ancestor, today Wu Daoyong, a descendant, is going to violate the ancestral precepts, destroy the foundation of the Yunhai Dao, and pull out the buried sword. The ancestral precept of the Wu family’s extinction is no longer valid.”
"If you want to blame someone, please wait until after my son's wedding!"
As the roar subsided, the compass that had floated above the Sea of National Destiny suddenly began to spin, and as the compass spun, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the Sea of National Destiny.
The whirlpool spun faster and faster, eventually revealing the seabed.
It was a huge altar engraved with intricate runes, the runes flashing and closely connected to the fate of the nation, and in the very center of the altar, a silver-white giant sword was stuck.
Endless runes from the compass drifted down, landing on the giant sword in the center of the altar.
The runes flashed and disappeared from the greatsword, and as they fell, the massive altar rapidly shrank.
With a deafening boom, the enormous altar transformed into a palm-sized seal and landed on Old Wu's hand.
With a flick of his wrist, Old Wu put away the inkstone and compass, glanced at the breached dike in the southwest, and turned to leave.
Because he saw a figure dressed entirely in black sitting cross-legged at the site of the breached dam, where the immense national fortune was flowing away madly.
It has three eyes on its head, holds a book in its left hand, and makes a mudra with its right hand.
The physical form of the ancient witch clan.
Just as Lao Wu left, deep within a secret spatial realm of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Yun Qin Liancheng, the patriarch of the Yun Qin Heavenly Dynasty, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Who stole my destined imperial weapon?"
Just as he roared in fury, a faint glimmer of light flashed from one of the countless teleportation arrays within the Heavenly Emperor City.
An ordinary elderly couple left the Heavenly Emperor City, accompanied by a young man dressed as a Dragon Guard.
They then quickly traversed the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty via teleportation arrays in different cities, before entering the next teleportation array.
Their teleportation array had just exploded, instantly paralyzing them.
Anyone familiar with the Imperial Observatory would recognize that the ordinary elderly couple was none other than Wu Daoyong and his wife, the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory.
The last place they appeared was the small border town where the commander of the Dark Guards was brutally murdered. They were then taken away from the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty by a flying boat and sped towards the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.
“With his natal imperial weapon, nurtured for ten thousand years, stolen, Yun Qinliancheng’s strength will be greatly reduced, and his greatest reliance, the trump card that allows him to use that imperial weapon to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, has also been broken.”
As Qingruo spoke, she looked at Zhang Daqiu, who was still standing outside the pavilion.
"Big ball, let's remelt it. Use the power of the Heavenly Dao within it to forge a great hammer, nurtured for ten thousand years as an imperial weapon. Only then can your Gu witch body truly unleash its power."
Sheng Lingxiao raised his hand and scratched his head, then nodded sheepishly.
Xiao Liu, who has a squint, is his new close friend. Xiao Liu says that if you want to get married, you must have the consent of your parents and the words of a matchmaker.
You must understand that the girl from the Ye tribe is my son-in-law's sister. She belongs to the Daqi imperial family, which is a symbol of status and a sign of my son-in-law's trust in you.
Therefore, this wedding must not be rushed.
After all, not everyone is my princess or son-in-law, so you need to prepare a communication talisman for your master and mistress, especially since the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty is in such a dangerous situation right now.
It would be safer to take it over, and it's a joy for families.
Sheng Lingxiao thought Xiao Liu was right, but Xiao Liu also said that marriage is a big deal, and big deals should naturally be handled by elders of high status.
Among the elders of high status within the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect, only His Highness's mother-in-law is the most suitable.
As for Sect Master Zhang Dafu and those old fogies in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, even a fool could tell they were just elders, and had nothing to do with having a high status.
Haven't you seen Zhang Dafu and Zhang Daqiu hunched over outside the pavilion all day?
Therefore, Sheng Lingxiao's communication talisman was sent out at the instruction of His Highness's mother-in-law.
