Chapter 301: Preparing for the Wedding
"Then what about you, honey? Will you be affected too?" Su Miaoke asked, her voice laced with worry.
"Me? I’m a bit different from them. I don’t think it’ll be a huge problem. We’ll have to see how lucky I am," Chu Feng said.
As his Cultivation increased, the Spiritual Power he needed grew immense. Fortunately, he could still use Merit Points to convert into Spiritual Power for his Cultivation.
The only issue was that acquiring Merit Points would likely become more difficult in the future.
After all, the stronger one’s Cultivation, the more Merit Points and Spiritual Power were required to advance.
"Is that right? So, honey, are you confident you can handle it?" Su Miaoke asked.
"Somewhat. I’ll have to wait and see. But reaching the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm is barely considered the Beginner Level. Your lifespan increases, yes, but many who reach it are already quite old, making it incredibly difficult to break through any further."
"Do you remember that sword I got before? The Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor—he was an unparalleled genius in his day, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm in just a few decades. Unfortunately, in his era, the Spiritual Qi had already grown thin, which made it incredibly difficult for him to break through any further," Chu Feng answered.
"Couldn’t he find any opportunities in the hundreds of years that followed?" Su Miaoke asked.
"Of course he did. But by the time he found one, he didn’t have many years left. There wasn’t enough time. If he’d had another ten or twenty years, he probably would have broken through. In fact, if even just his Divine Soul had managed to break through back then, he might have stood a much better chance," Chu Feng said.
"Divine Soul? What’s that? I don’t really get it," Su Miaoke asked.
Chu Feng spoke as they walked down the mountain to their car.
"The Divine Soul is the very seat of a person’s spirit. A strong Divine Soul greatly increases one’s Cultivation and lifespan. Take these so-called Human Martial Arts Peak Realm experts, for example. Their Divine Soul Strength is actually pathetic. It’s incredibly difficult for them to break through any further," Chu Feng said.
"So, does that mean the realms beyond the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm require the Divine Soul to be elevated and to break through as well?" Su Miaoke asked.
"Exactly. Only by increasing your Divine Soul Strength can you reach the Nascent Soul Realm!" Chu Feng said.
"Then you have to go for it, honey! I’m sure you can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm," Su Miaoke said, her face full of confidence.
"I hope so. But I think I may have found a few opportunities," Chu Feng said.
"When the time is right, I’ll get our parents—our whole family—on this path. Once we reach the Nascent Soul Realm, our lifespans will be at least several hundred years, maybe even a thousand," Chu Feng said.
"Okay, honey. I believe in you. I’ll be waiting for that day," Su Miaoke said.
"When I have a free moment, I’ll go look around. Maybe I can find something to help us improve," Chu Feng said.
"No matter where you go, I’ll be with you. But before all that, isn’t there something you’ve forgotten?" Su Miaoke said with a smile.
"Haha, don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. Our wedding day is almost here. We definitely have to make it a grand affair. But have you thought about what kind of wedding you want? Chinese or Western?" Chu Feng said.
"Chinese, of course! That’s a silly question. Look at who we are. Why would we use some foreign custom? Our ancestors passed down thousands of years of traditional culture, and we’re supposed to ignore it for something that’s only a few hundred years old? That’s completely pointless."
"Our ancestral traditions are so wonderful. They’re the culmination of thousands of years of culture, second to none in the entire world. No other country can surpass them. Besides, the traditional Chinese Phoenix Crown and Brocade Robe is just so beautiful," Su Miaoke said with a smile.
"Alright, you’ve got it. We’ll do it according to the highest standards of an ancient Chinese wedding. A lot of people say our country doesn’t have luxury goods. Well, we’ll show those hicks what true Chinese luxury is. The only problem will be that they won’t be able to afford it!"
"By the time we’re done, even those old geezers from the Chu Family will have their eyes bugging out of their heads," Chu Feng said with a laugh.
"Great! Then as soon as we get back, we can start preparing the invitations and everything. When should we set the date for?" Su Miaoke asked.
"Let’s do it before the New Year. In half a month. That way, we can have the wedding, and then it’ll be about time to celebrate the New Year. Half a month should be enough time to get everything ready, don’t you think?" Chu Feng said.
"That works for me. Besides, even without this ceremony, I’m still your wife. We registered our marriage a long time ago, so it’s legally binding," Su Miaoke said, sticking her tongue out playfully with a smile.
"Alright, then it’s settled. I’ll notify those old guys and have them send people to help. When it comes to traditional Chinese culture, nobody knows it better than them," Chu Feng said.
"I agree. They’re all a bunch of old fossils, after all," Su Miaoke said with a laugh.
Afterward, the two of them drove toward Fuhe Village.
Three hours later, they arrived home safely and immediately told Chu Feng’s parents the news.
The old couple was so happy they were practically dancing with joy.
