Chapter 190: Dao Lingzhu
In front of the grand engagement hall, the guests were all seated.
Liu Luoli and Li Shuyi stood on the stage, following the instructions like puppets on strings.
They still haven't reacted to the sudden engagement.
Everything in front of them felt like a dream. Liu Changtian, sitting on the elders' seat, represented the elders of the three families.
He was the only surviving elder relative.
Ye Chen's parents had died in battle when he was young, and Li Wende also died in the Great Cataclysm.
Liu Luoli's parents, who were Liu Changtian's son and daughter-in-law, died on the battlefield just like Ye Chen's parents.
Liu Changtian took on the role of the three elders.
Now he was eagerly waiting for the three of them to come and toast him.
Although this engagement ceremony was not grand enough, the attendees were all renowned figures.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for these people to gather in one place.
The lineup of the entire hall was enough to astonish anyone.
Finally, when it was time to toast, Liu Luoli and Li Shuyi finally relaxed.
These people had been hiding their feelings from them for a long time, and in the end, they were the last to know.
"Grandfather, you knew all along, didn't you? And you still kept it from us!"
Liu Luoli took a large wine glass and exchanged it with the small one in her grandfather's hand. It was too embarrassing for her to force the alcohol out of her body during her own engagement ceremony.
Liu Changtian felt a bit wronged. It was clearly Ye Chen's idea, but in the end, he was the one suffering.
After downing three large glasses of strong liquor, Liu Changtian thought with resentment that he must find an opportunity to deal with Ye Chen, so as not to let himself take the blame without saying a word.
The engagement ceremony proceeded in a lively manner, and Second Senior Brother was pulled over by the Master.
"Young Junior Brother, your Second Senior Brother is also burning with passion when he sees your engagement. He's over there flirting with a girl. See if there's a suitable one for him."
Yuwen Ye rubbed his arm. Qin Yao's strength was really strong, and she had forcefully dragged him over.
Just now, he had only exchanged a few words with a passing junior high school girl, and he was already brought over by Senior Sister.
He couldn't lose face in front of his Junior Brother, so he took out a ring from his body, inside of which were three sets of five-star treasure chests.
These were all collected by him after killing strong enemies on the battlefield of the various heavens.
But he had heard that Ye Chen could open many good things from the chests.
So he took out a set of five-star treasure chests and smiled, saying, "Young Junior Brother, this is all of Senior Brother's belongings. I heard that Young Junior Brother has extremely good luck, so consider these treasure chests in the ring as your engagement gift. Since we're all going to open chests, why not help Senior Brother open one too?"
"Second Senior Brother, are you giving a gift or asking for a favor? Can't you open the chests yourself?"
Seeing that Senior Sister's temper was about to explode, Ye Chen quickly took the gift from Senior Brother's hand and intercepted Ma Jie.
"Sister, today is a joyous day. We shouldn't get angry. Opening chests is just opening chests. Whether it's three or four, it's all the same. Let's consider it as adding to the excitement for me, Junior Brother."
"Yeah, yeah, Junior Brother has great luck. Let's all share in the good fortune..."
Under Qin Yao's gaze, Yuwen Ye's voice became smaller and smaller. Ye Chen could tell that Second Senior Brother was really afraid of Senior Sister.
In ordinary times, he was always sharp and handsome, but in front of his senior sister, he was as gentle as a cat.
Ye Chen couldn't help but facepalm for his second senior brother.
But his extraordinary talent has also been refreshed. Now, opening the boxes is like a celebration for his two wives.
He led a few people to the inner hall, where four boxes were neatly placed on the table, and four keys were suspended in front.
Ye Chen's heart moved, and his super divine luck was activated.
At this moment, Ye Chen was like the son of fortune, enveloped in a strange aura.
Under Ye Chen's control, the four keys were inserted into the treasure chests simultaneously. As the chests slowly opened, four rays of light illuminated the entire inner hall.
A dense mist overflowed from the chests, and the light from three of the boxes gradually merged.
The meaning of the Great Dao emanated from the inner hall, and countless auspicious signs appeared in the mist and light, with ethereal voices resounding in the ears.
A rich spiritual energy gathered from all corners of the universe.
The Earth, like the brightest star in this universe, emitted a light even more dazzling than the sun.
But the people on Earth couldn't feel it at all. These rays of light gradually converged, forming a transparent protective layer that gradually disappeared into the merging light of the Great Dao.
At the same time, these three rays of light turned into a treasure bead covered with Great Dao patterns, instantly drilling into Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.
【Great Dao Spirit Bead】
Containing the Great Dao, it can gather universal spiritual energy and transform it into a powerful protective layer, enhancing the concentration of spiritual energy within the protective layer.
The spirit bead will strengthen the designated beings' comprehension of the Great Dao's laws within the protective layer, accelerating the speed of cultivation advancement.
It can condense fortune and serve as a means of protection, as well as enhance the concentration of spiritual energy and the ability to perceive the laws.
This is a treasure formed by the fusion of treasures from three five-star chests.
This made the other people extremely surprised. This treasure, which requires three chests to obtain, is definitely not much worse than the supreme treasures.
But beneath this surprise, Ye Chen felt an unusual solemnity.
This favor from the fortune of the Great Dao was closely related to the future fate of the Earth.
Obtaining supreme treasures from the chests or relying on his super divine luck talent were only individual treasures.
But today, for the first time, a situation involving multiple treasures occurred.
Doesn't this indicate that the situation on Earth has become more serious and that the fortune of the Great Dao needs to actively help Earth overcome it?
However, this was just his speculation. Regardless, it was a good thing to obtain such valuable treasures.
"Luo Li, Shu Yi, I may not be able to give you this treasure this time. This spirit bead can increase Earth's absorption of spiritual energy and improve the concentration of spiritual energy globally. I plan to place this treasure on Earth to strengthen the overall strength of the human race."
Ye Chen explained the function of this bead in detail once again and received unanimous agreement from everyone.
But after all the light dissipated, they realized that there was still one treasure that they had overlooked.
On that table, a sharp cold light emitted a buzzing sound, as if complaining about being ignored.
A long sword was surrounded by numerous flowing lights, floating up slowly while trembling, the spiritual patterns dissipated, and the sword body completely revealed itself in everyone's sight.
This was an extraordinary sword, with seven different spiritual patterns engraved on the sword body, and the hilt was as smooth as a black gem.
From its fluctuations, one could clearly sense the presence of intelligence. This was a spiritual sword that had given birth to a spirit.
The spiritual sword floated in front of Ye Chen, but the treasures from the three chests had already been taken by Ye Chen, and he was not a sword cultivator.
This sword was more suitable for Yu Wenye...
