Xuancheng Dao Prefecture was vast, and Gu Tianxing estimated it to be about the size of a hundred solar systems. The area occupied by the Gu Family was roughly the size of a moon, not including the Pocket World within the Gu Family's domain.

If you included the subordinate forces of the Gu Family, the territory was even more expansive.

The Wuji Immortal Sect was also very far from the Gu Family. Even if Gu Tianxing, who was at the Haoran Realm, traveled day and night, it would take him over a month to reach it.

Thus, the teleportation arrays in the Dao Prefecture were the primary means of travel for most cultivators.

When Xiao Yan and his two companions emerged from the teleportation array, they arrived at Tianxing City, one of the four major cities in Xuancheng Dao Prefecture, located in the eastern part of the prefecture.

They came here because there was a teleportation array that led directly to the nearest city to the Wuji Immortal Sect.

Upon their arrival, Xiao Yan's Reversed Fate erupted, and he learned about a divine fire called the Mysterious Three Fires, which had traces a thousand miles away from Tianxing City.

This discovery left him both surprised and delighted, prompting him to plan to stay in the city for a few more days.

However, where there is a protagonist, there is always a story.

The vastness of Tianxing City left them dazzled, as if they had entered a bustling metropolis, with everything around them sparking their curiosity.

"There are so many experts in this city," Xiao Yan secretly sensed the strength of the passing crowd. Among every ten people, at least five were stronger than him, which surprised him but also reignited his previous determination to strive and never give up.

In a shop called Tianbao Pavilion, Xun'er took a liking to an earring-shaped magical treasure. She liked it very much and haggled for a long time to bring the price down.

At that moment, a glamorous woman stepped forward and arrogantly said, "If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Boss, I'll take these earrings at the original price."

Xun'er was displeased. "Buying and selling should follow the order of arrival, right? It's not very polite of you to cut in like this."

"Heh, rules? Country bumpkin, my rules are the rules."

With that, she took out a pile of glowing spirit stones and handed them to the shopkeeper. "Boss, bring out the goods."

Xiao Yan, watching from the second floor, saw the scene clearly and quickly came over.

"Xun'er, if you want to buy something, just tell me. We don't lack spirit stones." He also took out an equal amount of spirit stones and handed them over. "Boss, I was here first. Please wrap it up for me."

The shopkeeper could only give an apologetic look to the glamorous woman.

The glamorous woman felt displeased and took out a few more spirit stones. "Boss, this magical treasure is worth at most two hundred mid-grade spirit stones. I'll offer two hundred and fifty. Give it to me."

Seeing this, Xun'er said unceremoniously, "Miss, we don't know each other. Is it really necessary to compete over a moment's anger?"

"Compete? With you? What a joke. I just want to show a country bumpkin like you your place."

These words made Xun'er frown, and Xiao Yan stepped forward, exuding a dangerous aura. "Miss, please be careful with your words."

Xiao Yan's Tianyuan Realm cultivation spread out, causing a stir among the surrounding people.

"So young, and already at the Tianyuan Realm."

The glamorous woman felt an inexplicable pressure from him, but being used to arrogance, she would never back down.

"Brat, I'm telling you, these earrings are mine today. I'm Xiang Yu'er."

Xiao Yan gave a mysterious smile and turned to Xun'er, saying, "No one can take away what you like."

Just as the conflict was about to escalate, a tall man walked up to Xiang Yu'er.

Concerned, he asked, "Yu'er, who made you angry?"

"Brother Hua, it's him," Xiang Yu'er pointed at Xiao Yan and Xun'er behind him.

"Brother, dare to step outside for a duel?" The newcomer directly unleashed a late Tianyuan Realm cultivation.

Xiao Yan was naturally unafraid. A duel between cultivators of the same level, and it was his first battle in the Upper Realm. Meanwhile, Xun'er and the glamorous woman also started competing.

After a hundred moves, although Xun'er won, the glamorous woman was knocked to the ground. However, at the last moment, she struck towards Xun'er's face, and Xun'er hurriedly blocked it.

Her stunning beauty was instantly revealed.

This caused Brother Hua, who was fighting Xiao Yan, to unconsciously stop and stare at Xun'er.

In a moment of carelessness, already at a disadvantage, he was sent flying by Xiao Yan's palm.

The onlookers were even more captivated.

"So beautiful."

"Damn, this guy is so lucky. The other woman must be in disguise too."

"Are you sure it's not happiness?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly pulled Xun'er away.

Defeated, Xiang Yu'er and Brother Hua harbored various thoughts, secretly resenting Xiao Yan.

"This brat's origins are unknown, but his strength is astonishing. I'll return to the Donghua Sect and call a few senior brothers," Brother Hua said with a gloomy face. However, Xun'er's face lingered in his mind, and the glamorous woman beside him no longer interested him.

Two days later.

Five hundred miles outside Tianxing City, three charred corpses were discovered, one of which was Brother Hua, and another was Brother Hua's senior brother, who had a Dao Palace Realm cultivation.

After investigation, all suspicions fell on Xiao Yan.

"That outsider is very interested in divine fire. The Donghua Sect arrived in Tianxing City immediately after the three died, and after investigation, they are ninety percent sure it was that Xiao Yan."

"He has some nerve. The Donghua Sect is a powerful sect, with a Sage ancestor among them. I just can't imagine how he managed to kill a Dao Palace Realm cultivator, surpassing a major realm. It's said that the Dao Palace Realm cultivator was an old disciple of the Donghua Sect, over a hundred years old, but his Dao Palace Realm strength was solid, and yet he died."

"The Donghua Sect loves to curry favor with the Gu Family. Ten years ago, they were finally incorporated as a subordinate force by the Gu Family. Now, seeing a beauty, they naturally wanted to show off to Gu Tianxing, and now a few people have died."

"Shh, do you want to die? Don't talk about such things in public."

...

Deep within the Gu Family, at the entrance to the Land of Slumber.

Gu Tianxing and the Gu Family Head stood there.

"Tianxing, is it necessary to disturb these ancestors for a Foundation Establishment cultivator?" Gu Changge thought Gu Tianxing was making a fuss over nothing.

"Father, it's very necessary. I'm worried that once that thing comes out, no one in the Gu Family can stop it," he referred to the Hongmeng Ruler.

At this moment, Xiao Han had already been brought here by Gu Tianxing, his entire body restrained, his consciousness and all senses sealed.

The Hongmeng Ruler in his mind seemed to sense something, trembling slightly, as if trying to awaken Xiao Han.

"Father, don't waste time. I'm afraid of any changes," Gu Tianxing urged, not wanting to delay any longer.

"Alright."

Gu Changge opened the passage, and a desolate aura rushed out. The last time Gu Tianxing came, he had requested the Nineteenth Ancestor from outside, but this time, he personally stepped into the Land of Slumber.

As the space opened, the Hongmeng Ruler in Xiao Han's mind trembled violently. The spell Gu Tianxing cast on Xiao Han was instantly broken by the Hongmeng Ruler, and Xiao Han immediately regained consciousness.

"Father, send him in."

Gu Changge nodded. Perhaps sensing Gu Changge's terrifying pressure, a Ruler Shadow burst from Xiao Han's body. The Hongmeng Ruler was activated autonomously, but Gu Changge's strength was too overwhelming.

Xiao Han was still thrown inside, but fortunately, the Hongmeng Ruler protected him from harm.

Gu Tianxing followed closely behind.

The Land of Slumber was closed by Gu Changge.

"Esteemed ancestors of the Gu Family, I am Gu Tianxing, a junior of the Gu Family. I have come today to disturb you because I have an important treasure that I hope you will appraise."

With that, he struck out with a palm, forming a mysterious pattern in the air that enveloped Xiao Han. This was another Divine Ability of Gu Tianxing, the Primordial Divine Map, capable of dissolving all matter in the world.

Facing such a method, Xiao Han could only await death. Here, he sensed countless presences more terrifying than anything in his past life, leaving him utterly shocked.

"Is this the foundation of the Gu Family? What are these entities?" He looked at the towering tombs, each exuding an aura that made him feel suffocated with terror. Especially in the depths, where his eyes couldn't see clearly, there existed figures that he could only look up to in his past life. This scene left him on the verge of collapse.
