"The sky is vast, the earth boundless, and now even the Holy Maiden has been taken into Gu Tianxing's harem."

Xuancheng Dao Prefecture is one of the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures, and the Gu Family is a top-tier force within it, belonging to the Changsheng Clan.

Today, the Gu Family is brightly decorated, with countless Sacred Lands, Divine Dynasties, and numerous Ancient Wild Clans coming to offer their congratulations. The sky is filled with floating pavilions, and true dragons and phoenixes pulling carriages, creating a magnificent spectacle.

"The Holy Maiden of Qionghua Sacred Land, such a perfect Absolute Yin Body, is about to fall into Gu Tianxing's clutches, alas."

"Keep your voice down, the Gu Family is just ahead."

"Gu Tianxing has committed countless atrocities, and now he's marrying one of the most beautiful women in Xuancheng Dao Prefecture. When will this guy finally get his comeuppance?" a young man with a youthful face said angrily.

"Xiao Liu, control your emotions. I know your sister was taken by Gu Tianxing years ago, and her fate is still unknown. It's indeed hard to bear, but now is not the time to vent your anger. If something goes wrong, our entire Dongyang Sect will be doomed."

Inside the Gu Family.

In a lavishly decorated room stood a graceful figure, the Holy Maiden of Qionghua Sacred Land, Yang Qingwan.

Beside her, dozens of maids with varying levels of cultivation were dressing her. The treasures on her head were incredibly expensive, and her entire outfit was worth more than an ordinary sect.

But her expression was full of sorrow. This wedding banquet was not what she wanted, and her thoughts drifted far away. "Will he come today? No, it's better if he doesn't. Coming here would only lead to death."

***

In another direction.

Gu Tianxing stood bewildered inside a room, dressed in a red robe.

In his mind, two sets of memories were merging frantically.

"Am I Gu Tianxing? The villain from that overpowered novel, Gu Tianxing?"

Looking at his attire, the wedding robes, and combining it with his current memories, "Isn't this the day of the grand wedding? Today, the protagonist Lin Fan will come to challenge me. I didn't expect his cheats to be so overwhelming, not only killing me inexplicably but also escaping against all odds?"

Thinking of this, Gu Tianxing became unsettled. He had just arrived and was already facing the threat of death.

"However, I should have a villain system too; otherwise, being reborn here is meaningless."

But after waiting for a long time, he still hadn't received any message from the system.

"What's going on? Other villains have systems related to luck, why haven't I received any prompts?"

At this moment, he was anxious and had no mind for the wedding.

Eventually, he calmed down and began to analyze the current situation.

"That protagonist named Lin Fan, if I remember correctly, his cheat is an old man in a ring, and he also has a Martial Arts Fusion System. That system can only fuse divine abilities and cultivation techniques. Fortunately, he hasn't been cultivating for long, otherwise, in a year, there would be no way to deal with him."

The combination of two cheats was simply unbeatable, and the most troublesome was the Martial Arts Fusion System, which was far more heaven-defying than the old man in the ring. As long as he collected cultivation techniques and divine abilities everywhere, what he cultivated would be absolutely unrivaled. This is why Lin Fan could kill a prodigy like Gu Tianxing across realms.

"My only advantage is this vast family background and my familiarity with web novel tropes," Gu Tianxing took a deep breath. The Gu Tianxing in the book was mainly careless; otherwise, in the Gu Family, with a little precaution, how could Lin Fan have succeeded?

However, no one would care about a poor kid with nothing, and no one would believe an unknown person could kill Gu Tianxing in the Gu Family. Such an absurd thing had never happened in the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures.

And such things only exist in those trope-filled feel-good novels.

"I just need to stabilize everything and make thorough preparations. Even if he has a system and a cheat old man, he can't take my life now."

Gu Tianxing immediately walked out of the room.

"Young Master, where are you going?"

"To the Gu Family Ancestral Court, the entrance to the Land of Slumber."

"Ancestral Court? Young Master, are you planning to wake the ancestor even on your wedding day?"

Gu Tianxing stopped the maid who wanted to follow him and went alone to the back mountain of the Gu Family, where clouds and mist formed a pocket world.

He walked to a relatively fresh tombstone, while other tombstones were overgrown with weeds. In the deeper parts, there were many huge monuments, looming in the distance, representing even older existences of the Gu Family.

This fresh tombstone belonged to the 19th ancestor of the Gu Family, an ancestor who entered a thousand years ago. When Gu Tianxing was born, this ancestor had personally come out to see him.

"To guard against the guy in the ring, I must make a good impression on the ancestor. Back then, Lin Fan managed to escape because the Gu Family ancestor needed time to awaken, giving him a chance to flee."

Gu Tianxing bowed and saluted, "19th Ancestor, your descendant Gu Tianxing is here..."

***

After making preparations, Gu Tianxing returned to his room, waiting for the wedding to commence.

The front hall of the Gu Family, with an area of over 300,000 square meters, did not feel crowded even with guests from all over the Dao Prefecture.

Everyone was engaging in conversations with various members of the Gu Family.

Whether direct or collateral branches, different forces were trying to establish connections with the Gu Family members.

As Gu Tianxing and Yang Qingwan appeared together, the lively scene suddenly quieted down.

Gu Tianxing, in a red robe, with a face like jade, walked with an arrogant and dismissive demeanor. If it weren't for his notorious past, many women present would have been willing to throw themselves at him.

"This Gu Tianxing is even stronger than before, his cultivation has advanced too quickly. Now that he has obtained the Absolute Yin Body, I'm afraid in a year, few among the younger generation in Xuancheng Dao Prefecture will be his match."

"The key is that this young master of the Gu Family has a highly changeable personality and is extremely ruthless. If such a person grows up, it would truly be a disaster for the Dao Prefecture."

"How bad could the disaster be? If he goes too far, there will be consequences. The Dao Prefecture isn't dominated by the Gu Family alone; other forces won't let him run rampant."

Gu Tianxing, who had come out, had eyes that slightly glowed as he looked through Yang Qingwan's veil, seeing her face clearly. She was indeed stunningly beautiful, and the aura emitted by the Absolute Yin Body made him somewhat desirous, a desire that came from the depths of his soul.

This was also because the cultivation technique Gu Tianxing practiced was extremely sensitive to such special physiques. So, at first sight of Yang Qingwan, he wanted to take her. Unfortunately, the other party was also a Holy Maiden of a Sacred Land, so he couldn't use force. Thus, he used the power of his family to give Qionghua Sacred Land an offer they couldn't refuse.

"Young Master Gu is truly a dragon among men. Now that he is united with our Qionghua Holy Maiden, I believe our two forces will grow stronger in Xuancheng Dao Prefecture," the Holy Master of Qionghua Sacred Land said, sitting at the head with Gu Family Head Gu Changge, both talking happily.

"Bow to the heavens and earth," a strong voice called out. Yang Qingwan's body stiffened slightly, unwilling to perform the marriage rites, while Gu Tianxing's gaze lingered on the entrance of the Gu Family, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

Sure enough, a youthful voice echoed throughout the hall, filled with defiance and determination.

"Wait, I don't agree."

A young man in coarse clothes, with somewhat messy hair and determined eyes, walked over.

All eyes turned to this young man who dared to interrupt the union of two superpowers in the Dao Prefecture.

"Is this guy here to die?"

"Scoundrel, where did this beggar come from? What's with the guards? How did they let this trash in?" A Gu Family elder stood up angrily, ready to strike Lin Fan.

"Elder Changfeng, calm down. He has an invitation, we had no choice," the guards quickly explained.

"Even with an invitation, throw him out. Today is a joyous day for the Gu Family, we don't want to see blood, get out," Elder Changfeng waved his hand dismissively, not even sparing Lin Fan a glance. Such an ant had no dignity before the Gu Family.

"Wait, I, Lin Fan, absolutely do not agree to this marriage today. Wan'er, I'm here to take you away, no one can take you from me," Lin Fan looked at Yang Qingwan with tenderness in his eyes, then shouted with determination.

However, the guards beside him ignored his words, raising their hands to seize him.

But Lin Fan seemed prepared, dodging with a strange body technique, causing the guard to miss, and several more guards rushed over.

Gu Tianxing watched Lin Fan calmly, knowing that Lin Fan was about to start his verbal sparring.

"Is the Gu Family bullying the weak with their immortal heritage? The mighty Changsheng Clan, afraid of a nobody like me? I'm just here to find the woman I love. Gu Tianxing, do you dare to fight me to the death? Yang Qingwan and I are in love, and you are stealing her away. Do you dare to settle this like a man?" Lin Fan shouted loudly, his eyes red. "Does the Gu Family not even have the courage, or are they just bullying others with their strength, afraid of a fair fight? Or is it that the Gu Family has no young generation left?"
