858 14.134 Last Violet Star – (Past) Dao Ceremony

While waiting for the day when the Dao Ceremonies of the two couples were set, Yun Xiajie and Bai Wuan relished their time together as lovers. As two cultivators who would be one of the four key protagonists in the Dao Ceremonies were both from the Bai Lengshui Sect, it was determined that the Dao Ceremony would take place in the newly rebuilt territory of the Bai Lengshui Sect.

The Bai Lengshui Sect was rebuilt while the once-ruined snowy mountain peaks in the Northern Territories were extended and reorganized. Bai Wuan has reconstructed his decimated sect using even his own resources. The Bai Lengshui Sect would no longer be an exclusive sect under Bai Qiyin’s control, and like all other famous sects, its whereabouts would no longer be a secret from the ordinary residents of the northern city.

The entire snowy mountain range was covered with a massive array of formations with offensive and defensive capabilities in order to guard the Bai Lengshui Sect, and the gates were opened for visitors and disciples who wanted to join the site. These formations cover the whole city, and Bai Qiyin was tasked with maintaining control of them after receiving the directive from Bai Wuan, the formations’ creator.

One of the presents that Bai Wuan gave to his younger brother was this. Regarding Bai Lili, he assigned her a squad of covert guards whose mission is to defend and stand by her alone. They are unique guardians Bai Wuan had left for Bai Lili so she may live with her spouse and be a member of the Jin Tiangui Sect while also having her own group of individuals.

There has always been snow in the Northern Land. This northern metropolis was frequently referred to as the City of Ice and Snow because the mountain tops were perpetually covered in snow. Winter would constantly lingers in this area, and the city is coated in a perpetual layer of frost.

The white city was embellished with red lanterns, carpets, and other items on the most auspicious day of the Dao Ceremony between the Young Sect Master of Bai Lengshui Sect and Lan Zhuayun Sect, along with the Young Lord of Jin Tiangui Sect, Jin Shiyan, and the sole princess of the Bai Clan, Bai Lili. This is to commemorate the union of two lovers and the day they would swear to the gods their love and devotion to the dao.

One of a cultivator’s most priceless events is the exact moment. Their selected companion, who would spend a lifetime with them, would become an integral part of their existence. their favored companion. Only today was people and auspicious red decorations placed along the snow-covered highways. The two couples who would perform the vows for Dao Companionship were welcomed by everyone present. a vow made to the entire heavens.

An altar was constructed at the summit of a snowy peak, where the couples would exchange their final vows. The ritual would be witnessed by all invited cultivators, and once the skies bestowed an imprint that the two shared, it would be deemed complete.

At the moment, at the Bai Family’s old mansion. Both of Bai Wuan’s siblings, who were dressed in traditional red robes for weddings, were seated next to him. Bai Lili and Bai Qiyin were so anxious that they were clinging to the hands of their older brother for comfort.

.....

“Are they already here, Brother?” questioned Bai Qiyin.

“They will arrive soon. Be patient, Qiqi,” said Bai Wuan.

“Dear Elder Brother, I think I just spotted Brother Yan. Let me bring him here,” says Bai Lili.

“Stop running about, Lili. You are no longer alone,” Bai Wuan sighed, “I can’t believe you’ll have a kid before even being married, and you even chose to keep it from me and just notify me at the last minute.”

It appears that Bai Lili is expecting right now, which is a surprise. Bai Lili didn’t tell Bai Wuan about what occurred that incidental night because she was worried that he would beat up her boyfriend. The couple had only erred for one night. Later, when she began feeling queasy and throwing up in the morning, Jin Shiyan took her to see her older brother for a checkup.

Jin Shiyan was placed in an illusion array as punishment by Bai Wuan, who had known for at least two months that Bai Lili was pregnant. This nearly caused their Dao Ceremony to be postponed. Fortunately, thanks to Great Elder Yun’s persuasive arguments, her elder brother agreed to have their Dao Ceremony.

Bai Lili and Bai Qiyin were ultimately returned to the north with Bai Wuan, and their partners were prohibited from visiting until the day of their Dao Ceremony. The only news source for Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan was Yun Xiajie, who traveled wherever Bai Wuan went while living with his sweetheart in the Bai Lengshui Sect. They were practically inseparable.

Bai Lili gently tugged her elder brother’s sleeves and expressed her regret for her blunder after feeling guilty toward him.

“Dear Elder Brother, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to breach my pledge to you that night, but... But Brother Yan was drugged by someone inside the Jin Tiangui Sect. He rushes back home to avoid the conspiracies in his sect, and that night I can only help him,” Bai Lili said.

“I brought you home because this was also a suggestion from Uncle Yun. There is no other significance to it. Shilu had already explained it to me and apologized on his knees. He is determined to accept the punishment for you both so I threw him in an illusion array to train him. Additionally, you like him so much I do not have the heart to separate you from the person you love.” said Bai Wuan.

His siblings gave him a joyful and appreciative embrace. Since their parents abruptly vanished, Bai Wuan has served as their only source of stability and their most important protector, providing them with unwavering love and care. Until suddenly someone knocked on the door, and the siblings were having their own talk about what to do after the ceremony.

Knock. Knock.

Bai Wuan asked, “Who is it?”

The voice speaking from the other side of the door was none other than Yun Xiajie, who assists his sweetheart in managing the preparation for the development of the ceremony: “Jing’er, brother, and Jin Shilu had come. Should I let them inside?”

“Is it that time already? You can let them in together, A’Xia.”

The hands holding his sudden trembles demonstrate how anxious and eager these two younger siblings of his were to see their beloved when they entered. As soon as the door opened, Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan entered the room while dressed in matching crimson robes to represent their lovers. As they drew near the three persons seated inside the room, their faces were painted with radiant smiles.

“Brother Yan!”

“Brother Hua!”

But the aura of Bai Wuan forced them to slow down, which they did. On the day of the event, no one anticipated that he would behave in this manner. The room fills with a commanding vibe, yet the only people impacted were the newly arriving grooms. When Bai Lili and Bai Qiyin turn to gaze at their elder brother, they are shocked to notice that he is not smiling.

When his two siblings attempted to speak, Yun Xiajie cast a spell to silence them, obviously on their older brother’s orders. They made the decision to observe what Bai Wuan intended to do next because they could do nothing to stop him.

Bai Wuan stares coldly at Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan, “Is that all? That’s only the extent of your determination and strength. I can assure you something. My siblings had the blood of immortals in their veins. They would sooner or later ascend to the Upper Realm. I can tell you this now. My family had many enemies in the Heavenly Domain. Can you promise that you can protect my siblings if you go to the Upper Realm? If not... I suggest that you go back home right now!”

Finally, Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan realized what Bai Wuan’s acts signified. Being immortal, his previous identity could not have been typical either. The Bai Clan should be included as at least one of Bai Wuan’s family clans. The Bai Clan would undoubtedly defend its members, but anybody who marries one of their descendants must be strong enough to defend both themselves and their spouse.

Even though Bai Lili and Bai Qiyin were merely his cousins, to Bai Wuan they were like his siblings. He would have to ascend and depart the mortal realm sooner or later. After that, it would be up to the two of them to ensure the safety of his siblings. Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan made commitments in front of Bai Wuan knowing what he hopes to accomplish.

“With the heavens as witnesses, Yun Huaxia (Jin Shiyan) swore, I will adore and defend my love, Bai Qiyin (Bai Lili), in this lifetime and keep him(her) safe from all types of danger. I will protect him (her) no matter what occurs, even in exchange for this life of mine.”

The aura that exerts pressure on Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan vanished as soon as this pledge was finished. Instead, an unidentified force stopped them from moving and brought them to a stand in front of Bai Wuan, who was now grinning brilliantly. He personally handed these two good men the hands of his siblings. Bai Wuan then did something novel: he cupped his hands in front of the two of them and even bowed his head a little.

As the Dao Ceremony came to an end, Bai Wuan, who was born with the name Anjing, returned a vow to Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan, saying, “I have now passed through my hands the lives of Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili to Yun Huaxia and Jin Shiyan. As the Dao Ceremony reaches its completion I, called Wuan and born with the name of Anjing, shall protect you and everything important to you as long as this King is alive. Nevertheless, I shall personally put an end to your life with my own two hands should the oath you made be breached.”

Bai Wuan said to his siblings while seeing them off with a satisfied smile. “I will protect you in my own way. Be happy until the end with the person you love. I can only accompany you both at this point. Qiqi, Lili, brother had now allowed you to live with the person you had chosen to spend the rest of your lives with. This time brother wouldn’t always be by your side instead they would stay with you.”

Yun Xiajie showed up next to him and placed an arm around him to demonstrate to his lover and to the rest of the world whose side he had chosen to remain on till the end of his life. Finally, Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili had discovered the path in which they wanted to proceed with their lives, the path only they could go without their older brother at their sides. Instead, they would take the person they love the most along.

“We will take care of ourselves and live happily as brother desires, Gege, thank you.”

Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili gave their older brother one more hug while tears welled up in the corners of their eyes. For the final time, they too sobbed like children. Without their older brother, they now had to go on to the next phase of their life and stick by the companions they had chosen for themselves.

Bai Wuan gently pats their back and helps them wipe their tears, “Go ahead. Your men are waiting for you.”

Only then did the Bai siblings leave the house while holding the hands of their Dao companions. They must now proceed as a unit as they make their way to the altar, where they must publicly swear their love for one another to the heavens. The most significant commitment a cultivator can make in their lifetime is this sort of oath.

Bai Wuan decides to stay with his beloved and observe as their backs gradually recede from view. Yun Xiajie drew his lover into a cozy embrace after sensing his melancholy aura.

“The three realms would be present at our future Dao Ritual,” which according to Yun Xiajie, would be the grandest and most significant ceremony in this life. “Do you agree, Jing’er?”

Bai Wuan replied, “I had previously agreed to this several times before and would likewise accept anything in the future.”

This couple, left out of the bustle outside the house, exchanged a treasured kiss. One that only the two of them know is filled with love and promise. In the distant future, with all the beings and races in all three realms as witnesses, the Dao Ceremony between the most infamous couple in the world had happened. Be it, humans, immortals, or even the devils were there to attend and give their faith in the union between these two lovers. The immortal emperor himself had given them his blessings.
