Duo to creating those two boxes, Arthur lost a considerable amount of stats but the birth of the Tri-Spirit did raise the attack, defense, magic defense, and especially the Soul Defense, which was one of the hardest stat to increase .
He had two lifeless corpses of the Divine Beings that he didn’t possess yet and there are also the two invaders who killed Claudia . IF he were to possess even one of the two Divine Beasts, his stats would sky-rocket but his copy has forbidden him from possessing anything until he reaches the Sovereign Realm .
His current power is equivalent to a Monarch God, meaning that any Sovereign can be defeated by him . Moreover, having the Tri-Spirit is like having a powerful and hidden card that could sneak-attack his foes .
"Your physical power alone can defeat a God Monarch, so to make things in equilibrium, you cultivation much catch up to your physique . Obviously, reaching the God Monarch Realm would take a lot of time, so just focus on breaking through the Sovereign Realm for now . "
Claud Venis, his copy, explained the advantages of becoming a Sovereign . Not only would he have a bigger pool of Mental Power, the cultivation-based techniques such as the [Heavenly Mountain Fist], which relies 20% on Strength and 80% on one’s cultivation and mastery, would demonstrate much more power .
While it isn’t absolutely necessary to cultivate, its advantages make anyone willing to sacrifice a bit of time to meditate and absorb the energy of Heaven and Earth to reach enlightenment .
"So, have you thought of your next step yet?"
The copy broke the silence by asking the busy Arthur . In response, Arthur glanced at dark blade then sighed while saying
"Fixing Makaze takes full priority and then we’ll try to look into Lucy’s family . "
The copy scoffed and said sarcastically
"You think you’ll find the materials needed to fix it that easily?"
Arthur retorted on the spot:
"I’m positive I’ll find them . "
The copy didn’t continue mocking him and remained silent . Just after this short exchange, Lucy entered the room and joined Arthur in the bed . She was talking to Saly and explaining to her the dangerous world outside .
Fortunately, the little girl stopped pouting and throwing a tantrum as Lucy promised her they will not be absent for more than six months .
"When will we depart?"
As she hugged him and enjoyed his warmth, she leaned her head on his chest and treasured this moment . Although their life was a bit peaceful for the past few days, when they leave Earth and Astria, they are bound to meet new enemies and even fight on a daily basis .
************
The place was different than it used to be, the buildings were decorated with precious jade and the roads were busier than ever . People were excited about the grand banquet that’s about after the wedding ceremony .
This day was planned thoroughly and many precautions were taken so that no issue arises . Moreover, many important guests were going to attend today’s wedding such as the Demon Lord and his royal family, Elven chiefs and for the first time since the sect’s creation, the two sect leaders are going to show up personally .
The news had already spread to all corners of Astria and many were either excited to attend or sad because they could not .
The bride and groom have yet to show themselves but the atmosphere had already reached its peak with loud cheering from the crowd .
Most of the people present belonged to the MoonStar sect, whether it is elders, disciples or even guards but there also some normal travelers that came coincidentally were here today so they joined the fray to enjoy this unforgettable day .
. . . .
Inside the High Tower, Arthur was eating some delicious fruits with Jackob, who was very nervous and even sweating a bit . He was actually wearing a black tuxedo which suited him more than Arthur had expected . The previously young Jackob grew taller and became more muscular thus giving him a mature look, contrary to when he first met Lucy and Arthur .
"Come on, no need to be nervous, it’s your wedding day . "
Arthur patted the man’s shoulders while chuckling as he saw Jackob’s anxious expression . The man couldn’t even eat as his mind was focused on something else .
"Y-you know . . . maybe it’s a bit early for marriage . . . let’s schedule it for another t-time . "
Second thoughts began haunting the poor man as he fidgeted in his own seat . As he heard those words, Arthur burst out in laughter . . .
"It was your decision to propose and as far as I know, she accepted immediately so stop chickening out and be a man . You love each other and it’s only right you two get married . "
Although, in the past, he never expected Jackob and Anastassia to end up together, Arthur was still very happy for them and found that despite their totally different backgrounds, they kind of suit each other when you see how they’re both dedicated to cultivating and to each other .
The vice-leader of the MoonStar sect may not show it but she indeed loves this foolish-looking man, who managed to win her hearts after pursuing her for a few years .
"Didn’t you feel nervous when you proposed to Miss Lucy?"
Feeling curious, Jackob tried asking Arthur, who’s supposed to have already experienced such a feeling as he’s married . Unfortunately, the circumstances for Arthur’s marriage were totally different and they didn’t even celebrate like this .
"We are indeed married but we didn’t have a formal wedding like today . . . . although I am planning to make one someday . "
"Is that so?"
Jackob felt a bit disappointed and intrigued by the reason why Arthur wouldn’t celebrate now instead of later . As if his thoughts were heard, Arthur said:
"Yes, our weddings will be one of a kind . One that every living soul in the multiverse will hear about, that, I can guarantee . "
"Hahaha then don’t forget to invite me! And I want a front seat too!"
Arthur smiled and shook his head as he saw Jackob’s shamelessness but he still promised him that a front seat shall be specifically assigned to him and Anastassia .
Just as the atmosphere lightened a bit, Saly came running through the front door . She had a wide smile on her face as she jumped in Arthur’s arms . The little girl was wearing a breath-taking black dress that made her look stunning . She’s still young but her young charm couldn’t be denied .
"Daddy! Aunty Anastassia looks so beautiful! You have to come and see her!"
Saly urged him to come with her but he shook his head and said
"I will see her later . First, come eat since you skipped your breakfast . "
The wagging tail of the little girl suddenly halted as she heard his words . She was too excited and busy helping Lucy and the other women in preparing the bride so she lied to Lucy about eating her morning meals .
"I, I’m not hungry yet . . . I’ll eat later . "
She tried to swiftly leave the room but a gentle touch grabbed her from the back of her neck and by the next second, she found herself sitting on Arthur’s lap yet again .
. . . . . . . . . .
The main event was happening in a newly built square in front of the High Tower . It was beautifully decorated and even the ground was made from White and Golden-coloured stones that illuminated the place . The sun had already set and the lights illuminating the city and the streets paled in comparison to the bright platform which made everyone far away gape with awe at such a sight .
Despite the huge crowds around the square, everything was neat and there were no commotions . Very soon, the people sat and all noise seemed to have vanished as the two main characters of today had appeared .
One was wearing a gorgeous long dress and a transparent veil that covered her face, her figure was graceful and the light from the platform, which focused only on her, made the scene look even more dazzling .
A small distance away from her, the darkness was replaced by a golden light which focused on Jackob, who erased the nervous look from his face and resolutely advanced toward his pride with full confidence .
The two soon joined hands as Arthur, Lucy, Saly, Sonia, and Mary appeared behind the two main characters . The crowd began cheering for the two, who were full of smiles as they politely bowed Arthur and co before waving their hands to the guests in greeting .
The ceremony was short but that only declared the start of this amazing night . Rings were exchanged and the transparent veil was lifted as Jackob unhesitantly kissed Anastassia, who welcomed him with open arms . . . .
