The on-the-spot reactions of the two immortal kings of the Primordial City also made Li Congxin feel quite amused. It was no wonder they were old fellows who had lived for over a million years—they were cunning, slick, and as shrewd as old turtles.

With a light wave of his sleeve, a red wedding invitation floated into the old man's hand. This invitation was precisely the one his aunt had previously sent, transformed into a flame and delivered to Yiran Peak, wrapped in fire.

Taking the invitation, the old man's expression brightened. Indeed, he hadn't misjudged—it was a VIP invitation. It was known that the Celestial Maiden Chitian had issued fewer than a hundred VIP invitations. Anyone holding one was considered a significant candidate for her hand in marriage and was undoubtedly a peerless talent from across the myriad realms.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he hadn't embarrassed this person earlier, or else he would be the one in an awkward position now. An immortal king, though revered in this universe, was nothing compared to the cosmic prodigies from the various universes across the realms.

Clapping his sleeves together, the old man respectfully returned the invitation to Li Congxin and said, "Welcome, young master, to the Primordial City. May you shine brilliantly at the Celestial Maiden Chitian's marriage assembly, captivate the maiden's heart, and win her hand."

Li Congxin smiled, though inwardly he was sweating. Don't say that—she's my aunt! I'm just here to join the fun, to witness the talents of the prodigies from the myriad realms, and to help my aunt screen the candidates.

The scene made those waiting in line twitch at the corners of their mouths, clenching their teeth and fists, feeling an even stronger urge to punch Li Congxin. This guy cut in line, not only escaping reprimand but also being treated as an honored guest! Is there no justice? Damn, he's really showing off! But in reality, when they saw Li Congxin produce the VIP invitation, all those holding ordinary invitations, like the one whose spot he had taken, immediately backed down. No one dared to speak. The reality was clear—this person was truly a cosmic prodigy, on par with the Celestial Maiden Chitian. Who could afford to provoke such a figure? Who would dare? This young man could disregard the rules of propriety. Everyone could only remain silent, the quiet deafening.

As Li Congxin was about to lead his group inside, "Dare to disrespect my foster father? Ha, a bunch of idiots," Li Bielang, who had quickly gotten into character, smugly called out as he stepped through the gate, truly resembling a delinquent youth relying on his father's influence, as if the words 'bullying with borrowed power' were carved on his left cheek and 'fox borrowing the tiger's might' on his right.

The crowd nearly ground their teeth to dust. "Ahem," the old man guarding the gate then said with an apologetic smile, "Young master, the fairies with you can certainly enter, but this mortal..." Li Bielang, who had been smugly strutting, stumbled.

In that instant, those who had been suppressing their anger all perked up, their expressions suddenly excited. "What about the mortal?" Li Congxin turned back with a slight smile.

An unparalleled pressure made the two immortal kings shiver involuntarily. One of them braced himself and said, "Young master, mortals really... really have no right to attend the Celestial Maiden Chitian's marriage assembly." In the eyes of immortals, mortals were utterly lowly.

The Celestial Maiden Chitian's marriage assembly invited only prodigies from this universe and even across the myriad realms. If a mortal sneaked in, it would feel like 'something strange had mixed in.' In the eyes of the immortals, it would lower the event's prestige and everyone's status, becoming a laughingstock.

Those who had just been called 'idiots' now wore gleeful expressions. You little trash, keep showing off, keep barking like a dog. Once your protector's gone, just wait, we'll beat the crap out of you.

Li Congxin wasn't angry with the two, as it was his aunt's event, and they were concerned about her reputation. He simply asked, "No right?" Still holding a VIP invitation in his left hand, he extended his right hand, and another VIP invitation appeared, which he then tossed to Li Bielang. "With his own VIP invitation, is it okay now?"

Boom! The entire place was shaken. The two immortal kings were also shocked, stunned on the spot. Li Congxin actually had two VIP invitations! No, impossible! One person couldn't have two! Unless... he had taken the other one by force. Instantly, everyone looked at Li Congxin with fear. It was known that fewer than a hundred VIP invitations had been issued, each recipient a cosmic prodigy, an immensely powerful being. If Li Congxin had two, it meant that on his way here, he had already defeated one of his competitors and taken their invitation. This young man was absolutely super powerful!

While everyone was still processing this, Li Congxin had already led his group through the gate. In truth, he still had 99 VIP invitations on him, simply because the invitation had just passed through someone else's hands, triggering a hundredfold return...

"Farewell, young master," the two immortal kings, not daring to obstruct further, bowed and clasped their fists in salute, asking, "May we know the young master's esteemed name?" Li Cong...
