Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2061 - 2157: Overwhelmed with Envy (Fourth Update)
Previously on Urban Super Medical Sage...
The entirety of the Imperial Realm fell into a profound silence.
Even Di Jie himself stood frozen, struck by sheer terror.
A Fourth Level Divine Lord? Arriving to claim a bride?
The fact that Di Jie could still remain standing, summoning the courage to do so, seemed to defy all imaginable limits.
In the very next moment.
"Hu Zong, this is a token of appreciation from the Young Lady for you. The Young Lady will not be attending your wedding personally," the woman suddenly stated, turning her gaze towards Hu Zong, her voice sharp and devoid of warmth.
As she uttered these words, she presented a Crystal Bottle to Hu Zong.
"Thank you," Hu Zong replied, accepting the Crystal Bottle with hands that trembled.
"This item is a Supreme Treasure for you. The Young Lady bestows it upon you as recompense for the kindness shown by the Hu Family years ago. It was not given sooner because the present moment is the most opportune time," the woman’s voice remained icy: "Open it and consume it."
"Yes," Hu Zong’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and exhilaration. A treasure from such an esteemed individual was undoubtedly a top-tier Supreme Treasure. That this esteemed person still recalled the Hu Family’s past favor was truly breathtaking...
A short while later.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present.
Hu Zong unsealed the Crystal Bottle.
Immediately, a slender beam of golden light emanated from within, swiftly entering Hu Zong’s body.
And then!!!
Boom...
An aura.
An overwhelmingly potent, vast, and unstoppable aura erupted forth.
It felt as though an immense pressure, akin to thousands of cascading walls, descended upon one’s very being.
Instantly, this tremendous presence permeated the entire Imperial Realm.
The Imperial Realm began to quake once more.
It even seemed to let out a collective cry of anguish.
Around Hu Zong, rifts in the void violently tore open, allowing chilling breezes of Chaos and Nothingness to sweep through.
"God... a Divine Lord Realm?" Di Jie’s eyes widened to the point of nearly popping out; he stumbled back three steps, blood trickling from his lips.
Hu Zong had achieved a breakthrough.
Following the absorption of the faint golden light, he had instantaneously ascended from the Half-Step Divine Master stage to the Divine Master realm.
This seemingly minor advancement was a hurdle that countless martial cultivators spent eons, even millennia, unable to surmount.
It was the same insurmountable step that the Di Family’s Old Ancestors, nearing the end of their lifespans, could not manage to cross.
Yet, Hu Zong accomplished it in a single breath.
Indeed, that slender golden light was truly a Supreme Treasure amongst Supreme Treasures.
Utterly terrifying.
"My son-in-law, at over sixty thousand years old, is... a Divine Lord Realm expert?" Di Jie’s heart pounded with a chaotic mix of excitement. A Divine Lord Realm! A realm whispered only in legends!
At this juncture, Di Jie’s thoughts were once again drawn to Su Chen.
Had Hu Zong been his son-in-law much earlier, would that detestable wretch Su Chen have dared to brazenly loot the Emperor’s Treasure Abyss and slaughter so many of the Di Family’s Human Lord Realm powerhouses?
If Hu Zong had been his son-in-law back then, would Su Chen even dare to set foot in the Imperial Realm as a Divine Lord?
Alas, these were mere hypothetical scenarios.
If only Su Chen were alive and standing before him now, Di Jie mused, his son-in-law Hu Zong could then pulverize that insignificant brat Su Chen, finally extinguishing the burning hatred within his heart.
"Hahaha..." Moments later, Hu Zong erupted into triumphant laughter, his voice resonating with absolute dominance, potent strength, boundless joy, and an almost indescribable elation.
The Divine Lord Realm and the Half-Step Divine Master stage represented fundamentally different realities.
Within the vast expanse of the Grand Cosmos World.
The disparity in status between Divine Lords and those below them was as stark as the difference between day and night.
Hu Zong had languished in the Half-Step Divine Master Realm for over ten thousand years, perpetually yearning to take that pivotal step!!!
To his astonishment...
It had arrived so unexpectedly.
Excellent.
Truly excellent.
Presently, behind Hu Zong, the thirty young martial cultivators, all at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Human Lord Realm, gazed upon him with such profound envy that their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
After indulging in his laughter for a period, Hu Zong gradually reined in his emotions, composing his expression into one of calm. He turned to the woman and bowed deeply: "Miss Yang, my sincere gratitude. If it is possible, please convey a message to your Young Lady: Hu Zong is forever indebted, beholden, and profoundly thankful."
The woman offered a slight nod: "Very well. Proceed with the wedding. Once the ceremony is concluded, I must return to report to the Young Lady."
"Miss Yang, if you are in haste, you are welcome to depart earlier. You have already fulfilled your duty by escorting me here," Hu Zong said earnestly, fully aware that given the woman’s evident status, accompanying him through the wedding ceremony was an honor beyond his current standing!
"No. The Young Lady specifically instructed me to personally witness the successful completion of the ceremony and the bride’s safe arrival at the Hu Family residence before I may depart. Should any mishap occur during the proceedings, the Young Lady would hold me accountable," the woman replied, shaking her head.
Hu Zong offered a wry chuckle; what sort of incident could possibly materialize? What dares to even attempt to disrupt the proceedings?
His impending marriage to a lady of the esteemed Di Family was to be a monumental honor, a culmination of nine generations of Di Family aspirations, and a union long anticipated by the Imperial Family itself.
Furthermore, even if unforeseen events were to transpire, he had brought along more than thirty formidable Martial Cultivators. What challenge could they not overcome? These thirty cultivators alone possessed the might to decimate the entire Di Family numerous times over.
To say nothing of the two unimaginably powerful individuals, both at the Second Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, who accompanied him.
Indeed, he himself had now ascended to the Divine Lord Realm!
Even if he desired complications, their occurrence was simply impossible!
Yet, despite these confident thoughts, he dared not voice any dissent to the woman before him. For while she was but a maid, she served a most esteemed individual, placing her status a thousandfold above his own.
At this precise moment.
Within the Jinxian Pavilion.
"Young Mistress, are... are you prepared? Your husband has arrived." Standing at the doorway, Di Xu and Di Liu, who had been previously dismissed by Di Deijin, now spoke.
"Young Mistress, your husband has achieved a Breakthrough! He has become a Divine Lord, a truly legendary Divine Lord!"
......
Di Xu and Di Liu were undeniably brimming with excitement, their composure faltering under its intensity.
A Divine Lord.
This was a level of cultivation that even the current Old Ancestor of the Di Family had yet to attain!
What’s more, Hu Zong had only surpassed sixty thousand years of age.
To reach the Divine Lord realm at such a young age was truly astonishing.
And then there were the escorting cultivators: two at the Second Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm and one at the Fourth Level of the Divine Lord Realm, all here to escort the bride.
Such a display.
Was utterly invincible.
Earth-shatteringly potent.
And terrifyingly awe-inspiring.
The two young women could not suppress their involuntary trembling.
"Young Mistress, you... you must maintain your composure. No matter how excited you are, do not let anything go awry." Di Liu suddenly reiterated, "Do you still recall the wedding procedures?"
Earlier, Di Liu had meticulously gone over the wedding rituals with Di Deijin.
"Young Mistress, at the Hu Family, you will encounter numerous elite powerhouses. You must not forget the procedures. Any mistake will bring immense ridicule." Di Xu added with solemnity.
The two attendants already envisioned the magnificent wedding ceremony at the Hu Family, speculating on the breathtaking spectacle it would entail.
Surely, the grand wedding event of their Young Mistress today would be an event they would treasure in their memories for a lifetime!
Their hearts also swelled with profound longing, wishing their own partners could achieve such standing as Hu Zong, even to be a concubine would be an unparalleled privilege!!! Could there possibly be a more outstanding man in this world than Hu Zong? A Divine Lord First Level at a mere sixty thousand years of age!
Alas, Hu Zong's affections were solely fixated upon the Young Mistress.
Inside the Jinxian Pavilion, Di Deijin paid no heed to Di Xu and Di Liu, instead, her brow furrowed slightly.
"Two at the Second Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, and one at the Fourth Level of the Divine Lord Realm?"
Di Deijin's exquisite eyes gleamed with disbelief. "How is this possible?"
The opulence of the wedding procession far surpassed any expectations.
After all, the news yesterday had only mentioned one individual at the Second Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm!
But now? Two at the Second Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, one at the Fourth Level of the Divine Lord Realm, and even Hu Zong himself had reached the First Level of the Divine Lord Realm.
"Iceflame, does Su Chen possess the confidence to act?" Di Deijin turned her gaze towards Iceflame Vermilion Bird, inquiring.
"Su Chen has yet to respond to me." Iceflame Vermilion Bird echoed her solemnity. Su Chen was in the midst of emerging from the Mother River, and the interference from the storm was hindering clear communication.
For someone at the Second or First Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, Iceflame Vermilion Bird was confident Su Chen could manage.
But this individual at the Fourth Level of the Divine Lord Realm?!!!
Its certainty wavered significantly.
Within the Divine Lord realm, a mere single level difference could feel like an insurmountable chasm spanning eighty thousand miles.
The Fourth Level of the Divine Lord Realm represented an unfathomable, supreme, and indescribably immense power.
"Fei Jin, do not despair just yet. Place your trust in that young man, Su Chen... he has accomplished many miracles before." Iceflame Vermilion Bird took a deep breath, suppressing its burgeoning unease, and offered a measure of comfort to Di Deijin.
Di Deijin nodded, though a flicker of anxiety remained within her. She bit her lip lightly, her beautiful eyes hardening with resolve. "If Su Chen cannot succeed in eloping with me, then I shall take matters into my own hands! I am Su Chen's woman! I will marry no one else!"
