"The Primal Chaos Golden Cauldron—excellent, truly excellent!"
Zhou Yi toyed with the now-miniaturized Primal Chaos Golden Cauldron, unable to put it down.
"What is this?"
Xiao Qing idly played with the tip of her snake tail, her alluring eyes fixed on the cauldron, curiosity shining in her gaze.
She could sense that this artifact was anything but ordinary.
Although it didn't radiate an overwhelming presence, a deep instinctual fear stirred within her.
"This is a supreme treasure."
Zhou Yi chuckled, offering no further explanation.
After all, a treasure like the Primal Chaos Golden Cauldron—an ultimate-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—was simply too valuable. It was best if fewer people knew about it.
"But compared to this treasure, you two are my real treasures."
Pulling Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing into his embrace, Zhou Yi's simple and direct words sent waves of joy through their hearts.
Such sweet words—they had never heard anything like them before.
Afterward, Zhou Yi went to speak with Xuan Yi and finalized the wedding arrangements.
Xuan Yi was not one to procrastinate.
Thus, the wedding date was set for two months later.
And this time, Zhou Yi wasn't just marrying Xuan Yi—he was also taking Bai Suzhen, Xiao Qing, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, and Xuan Su as his wives.
The news spread like wildfire.
"What?! Master Zhou is getting married again?!"
"Good heavens, this time he's marrying none other than Elder Xuan Yi—one of the Three Pillars of the Alchemy Tower!"
"Elder Xuan Yi isn't just a peak Dou Venerate expert—she's also an eighth-tier peak alchemist!"
"The women Master Zhou marries just keep getting more powerful!"
"Honestly, if this were in the past, I wouldn't have believed my ears. Elder Xuan Yi, of all people, getting married?!"
"Unfathomable!"
Xuan Yi's status and influence far surpassed those of Zhou Yi's previous wives.
Especially considering that an eighth-tier peak alchemist stood at the very pinnacle of the Alchemist profession on the Dou Qi Continent.
To countless people, she was practically a divine figure.
...
Xiao Family.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Zhou is marrying again… and this time, it's one of the Three Pillars of the Alchemy Tower. But Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing…"
Those names stirred something deep in Xiao Yan's memories.
In his previous life, Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing were household names—legends known far and wide.
Especially with Zhao Yazhi's portrayal of Bai Niangzi, which had captivated an entire generation.
She had been his dream goddess.
"Is Master Zhou the new Xu Xian?"
Xiao Yan muttered to himself.
But then, his mind drifted to Queen Medusa and Yue Mei.
At that thought, Zhou Yi's numerous marriages didn't seem all that surprising anymore.
"I wonder if this Bai Suzhen is the same as the one from the dramas I watched in my past life…"
Xiao Yan was intrigued.
Perhaps he would attend Zhou Yi's wedding to see for himself.
...
News of Zhou Yi's upcoming wedding quickly spread across the Eastern Profound Domain of the Tianxuan Continent.
After all, it was already well known that Zhou Yi was set to marry Ling Qingzhu, the Young Palace Mistress of one of the Eight Supreme Sects.
By now, Zhou Yi's name had spread across the world.
His previous marriages to Ruo Lin and the others had been understandable—after all, they had been arranged before Ling Qingzhu.
But now, with Ling Qingzhu not even married yet, Zhou Yi was already taking in more wives?
At first, many found this inappropriate.
However, once they truly understood Zhou Yi's strength, they realized—this wasn't an issue at all.
...
In the Dao Sect, Sect Master Ying Xuanzi received news of Zhou Yi's wedding to Elder Xuan Yi of the Alchemy Tower and was deeply surprised.
By now, the power structure of the Dou Qi Continent was no longer a mystery to the major factions of the Tianxuan Continent.
They had already gathered extensive intelligence.
Previously, on the surface, the Dou Qi Continent's most prominent factions were: One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and the Four Pavilions.
These forces were roughly equivalent to the Eight Supreme Sects of the Eastern Profound Domain.
However, hidden within the shadows were the Ancient Eight Clans—far beyond what these sects could contend with.
The Ancient Eight Clans were descendants of Dou God.
If placed on the Tianxuan Continent, they would be akin to the legacy of the Symbol Ancestor.
In other words, the Ancient Eight Clans were the equivalent of the Eight Ancient Lords of Tianxuan.
However, there was one key difference—
The overall strength of the Dou Qi Continent vastly surpassed that of the Tianxuan Continent.
After all, the Dou Qi Continent had produced multiple Dou God powerhouses in the past.
Meanwhile, the Tianxuan Continent had none.
Even the Symbol Ancestor was an outsider.
Dou Saints were equivalent to Reincarnation Realm powerhouses.
And among the Ancient Eight Clans, the number of Dou Saints rivaling Reincarnation Realm experts far exceeded the entire Tianxuan Continent's Reincarnation Realm population.
In fact, it was only after Zhou Yi annihilated the Soul Clan that the secrets of the Ancient Eight Clans became widely known.
Once the major forces of the Tianxuan Continent learned this, all thoughts of invading the Dou Qi Continent vanished.
It was simply not worth it.
Especially since the interdimensional passage was constructed by Zhou Yi himself.
And the entrance was located near the Zhou Manor.
Moreover, after wiping out the Soul Clan, Zhou Yi had become the undisputed number one expert of the Dou Qi Continent.
The Soul Clan's Hun Tiandi had been a peak Nine-Star Dou Saint—comparable to a Third Cycle Reincarnation Realm powerhouse.
On the Tianxuan Continent, only the Eight Ancient Lords could rival such a figure.
But even Hun Tiandi had been helpless against Zhou Yi.
In a single strike, Zhou Yi obliterated an entire minor world, annihilating countless Soul Clan members and multiple Dou Saints.
According to intelligence from the Gu Clan, the Soul Clan had housed over ten high-tier Dou Saints.
Each of them comparable to a Third Cycle Reincarnation Realm expert.
In other words—
Whether in the Dou Qi Continent or the Tianxuan Continent, Zhou Yi was an unrivaled existence.
He could easily exterminate an entire clan.
"Last time, I wasn't familiar with the Dou Qi Continent, so I didn't attend Mastter Zhou's wedding. This time, I must go. Even if I can't forge an alliance, I should at least make an impression."
Ying Xuanzi made up his mind.
By now, every major force in the Eastern Profound Domain sought to establish ties with Zhou Yi.
The Eight Supreme Sects were no exception.
Despite their dominance in the Eastern Profound Domain—governing hundreds of kingdoms—they were nowhere near Zhou Yi's level.
Thus, Ying Xuanzi began preparing gifts and summoned Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan.
He intended to bring them along.
After all, they had attended Zhou Yi's previous wedding and brought back invaluable intelligence.
More importantly—
If Ying Xiaoxiao or Ying Huanhuan could marry Zhou Yi, it would be a monumental boon for the Dao Sect.
Of course—
He wouldn't force them. The decision was theirs to make.
From what he had learned about Zhou Yi, he was undoubtedly a fitting match.
His only flaw?
Too many wives.
But with power like his, was that even a flaw?
...
Meanwhile, at Yuan Gate.
As the foremost of the Eight Great Super Sects in the Eastern Profound Region, Yuan Gate had long been secretly colluding with the Abyssal Fiends.
With the sudden emergence of the Dou Qi Continent, its overwhelming power had caught the attention of all factions.
Yet, Yuan Gate found itself unable to claim any significant advantage.
Thus, Tian Yuanzi and his two fellow sect leaders decided to relay intelligence about the Dou Qi Continent to the Abyssal Fiends, gauging their interest and seeing if there was an opportunity to reap some benefits from the chaos.
Upon receiving the information, the Abyssal Fiends were utterly shaken.
A powerful entity among them immediately resolved to send an envoy to personally investigate the Dou Qi Continent and gather intelligence.
Know thy enemy, know thyself—
A hundred battles, a hundred victories.
...
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
At long last, the grand occasion had arrived—
Zhou Yi's wedding to Xuan Yi, Xuan Yuan Qingfeng, Bai Suzhen, Xiao Qing, and Xuan Su.
On this day, the festivities surpassed all that had come before.
Not only had the most formidable experts of the Dou Qi Continent assembled, but even the powerhouses of the Eight Great Super Sects from the Eastern Profound Region had also arrived in droves.
Among them, hidden within the crowd—
Was an Abyssal Fiend of unimaginable power, one whose strength rivaled the Reincarnation Realm itself!
