I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

He didn't interfere with any of this; today, he came to see the two younger generation getting married.

Just how terrifying is Gu Yun that he can make a Nascent Soul cultivator willingly become his lackey?

Just then, a dazzling golden rainbow streaked across the sky.

"The Golden Sun Sect has received the Sunset Fairy, Su Wanyin!"

This was accompanied by a shout.

"Oh my! Fairy Su, you've finally arrived! Please, please come in. We've reserved the VIP seat in the very front row for you!"

Blood Fiend Ancestor rubbed his hands together.

The entire audience gasped in shock.

The Blood Fiend Ancestor always beats and scolds the leaders of the major sects, yet he is so obsequious to this Sunset Fairy.

Su Wanyin, dressed in a light gold flowing cloud gown, walked into the main hall with lotus-like steps.

She ignored the awe-inspiring gazes around her.

She walked straight to the main seat in the hall, looked at the silver-haired youth above her, and her originally cold and beautiful eyes instantly blossomed with a smile.

"Big brother, Wanyin is late."

Su Wanyin bowed gracefully, then took out a pair of precious jades from her storage ring.

"This is the Warm Sun Jade that Wan Yin found in the deepest part of Sunset Swamp. She specially commissioned a master craftsman to carve it into a pair of love pendants, which she gave to Ling'er and Shi Tou, wishing them a harmonious and long-lasting marriage."

"Hiss! Warm Sun Jade?"

The sect leaders below nearly popped their eyes out; this was a priceless treasure capable of nourishing the soul!

"You silly girl, you came all this way, why did you have to spend so much money?"

Gu Yun looked at Su Wanyin, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and gently helped her up.

"Please sit down."

Gu Yun keenly noticed that although Su Wanyin was smiling, there was a hint of gloom in her eyes.

He raised an eyebrow and transmitted his voice.

"What's wrong? On such a joyous day, is something on your mind?"

Su Wanyin's delicate body trembled slightly, her eyelids lowered, and she replied with a bitter tone.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine... It's just that seeing Ling'er with the protection of her elders and getting married in such a grand manner has stirred up some emotions in me. As for my background... well, let's not talk about it. Today is Ling'er's big day, and I'm overjoyed."

"The auspicious hour has arrived! Please invite the newlyweds into the hall!"

Accompanied by a long, drawn-out chant, the groom, Shi Tou, led Luo Ling'er, who was dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe and looked as beautiful as a fairy, slowly into the main hall.

Just as the two were about to reach Gu Yun and were about to kowtow,

"Boom!"

The sky, which was originally filled with auspicious clouds, was forcibly torn apart by a brute force.

A spatial rift stretched across the sky above the Purple Void Sect.

Immediately afterwards, a golden warship, resembling a primordial behemoth, slowly emerged from the void.

In that instant, an immense pressure, like ten thousand mountains, crashed down.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Inside the main hall, dozens of sect leaders with cultivation levels at the early Golden Core stage actually had their knees buckle and nearly collapsed to the ground under this oppressive aura.

Even the protective array of the Zixu Sect was groaning under the strain.

"What... what level of spiritual pressure is this?"

Lei Lie's expression changed drastically, and he gripped the Thunder Halberd tightly.

"The Central Plains Dao Domain! This is the inter-domain Dharma Ark of the Central Plains Dao Domain!"

Some of the more experienced and knowledgeable elder cultivators screamed in terror.

In their eyes, the Central Plains Dao Domain is the legendary center of the cultivation world.

"This mere desolate land dares to presume to possess the true blood of the Su family? This farce ends here!"

On the deck of the warship, a young man from the Middle Kingdom, clad in golden armor, uttered a cold shout.

He looked to be in his early twenties, yet he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, holding a bronze mirror aloft in his hand.

The mirror's light swept across the room, locking onto Luo Ling'er, who was dressed in a wedding gown, with eyes full of contempt and disdain.

The Blood Fiend Ancestor let out a deafening roar.

It transformed into a vast sea of ​​blood, and a blood-transformed demonic hand slammed directly towards the warship in mid-air.

However, a cold snort came from deep within the warship.

"Noisy."

An old hand appeared out of thin air, merely flicking its fingers in mid-air.

"laugh!"

Blood Fiend Ancestor's Blood-Transforming Demon Hand collapsed on the spot, and a spatial shock force struck Blood Fiend Ancestor's chest.

"puff!"

The dignified Ancestor of the Cangbei Demonic Path.

Before he could even see the other person's face, he was flicked by a finger, coughing up blood and flying dozens of feet away before crashing heavily to the ground.

Dead!

The hall was completely silent.

All the cultivators from Cangbei were utterly horrified. Was this... this the terrifying foundation of the Central Plains Dao Domain?

A casual strike severely injured a Nascent Soul cultivator!

"Ling'er!"

Behind the main hall, Luo Zhen, the Supreme Elder of the Zixu Sect, emerged, his body surging with the spiritual power of the early Nascent Soul stage.

He stared at the ancient warship in the sky, his face pale, and sighed deeply.

"Father, what exactly happened?"

Luo Ling'er suddenly lifted the red veil, both shocked and furious.

Luo Zhen smiled wryly.

"Ling'er, I've been keeping it from you. Your mother is the eldest daughter of the Su family, an ancient and powerful family in the Central Plains Dao Domain."

"Back then, she fled the Central Plains to stay with me. I thought they would never find us in this lifetime, but your awakening of the Purple Heaven Thunder Body has ultimately alarmed the Bloodline Compass of the Central Plains."

At this point, Luo Zhen suddenly looked up, staring directly at the gray-robed old man who was slowly walking out of the warship, and said in a firm and resounding voice.

"Elder Su, I, Luo Zhen, know that the waters of Cangbei are shallow and cannot hold onto such unparalleled talent as Ling'er. I agree to let Ling'er return to the Central Plains with you to acknowledge her ancestors, but I have one condition!"

Luo Zhen pointed to the stone next to him.

"Ling'er's marriage is arranged. She can go to the Central Plains, but she must take her husband with her! Otherwise, even if I risk my life and destroy the spiritual veins of the Zixu Sect today, you will not be able to take her away even a step!"

"Husband? With this useless witch clan member who doesn't even have a trace of spiritual power?"

The old man in the gray robe looked down at the stone, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

"My Su family is a prestigious clan in the Central Plains. How could we allow such a cursed bloodline to tarnish our honor? Today, I will take this person away, and this barbarian will be as if he never existed. Su Qing, go and bring Miss Su here. Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be killed without mercy!"

"yes!"

The golden-armored youth, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, grinned maliciously. His figure moved like lightning, carrying the violent pressure of the Central Plains cultivation technique, and he rushed straight at Luo Ling'er!

"You dare touch her!"

The stone, which had been silent all along, suddenly turned blood red in the eyes.

He ignored Gu Yun's plea for help from the main seat, and instead, like an unshakeable ancient demonic mountain, he took a sudden step to the side, blocking Luo Ling'er's path.

Ancient, dark gold runes faintly emerge.

Gu Yun was taken aback, and just as he was about to make a move, he held back.

I wonder if there's any chance of them awakening on their own.

There's no chance in the Northern Region, but the chances are much greater in the Central Region.

"An overconfident ant!"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the golden-armored youth.

A dazzling golden sword materialized in his hand, and with terrifying power, he slashed towards the stone's chest!

"boom!"

A deafeningly loud bang.

The stone had no magical shield and relied entirely on its flesh and blood to withstand the sword strike.

The sharp sword energy instantly sliced ​​open his chest, and blood spurted out.

The enormous impact forced him to kneel on one knee, and the bluestone bricks beneath his knee shattered inch by inch!

"Stone!"

Luo Ling'er screamed shrilly, trying to rush forward, but was firmly blocked behind her by the stone's large, blood-stained hand.

"I...I'm not dead yet!"

Stone was breathing heavily, and blood kept gushing from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were fixed on the golden-armored youth in mid-air.

He gritted his teeth and actually used both hands to hold back the downward-pressing giant sword of spiritual light, and little by little, he straightened his body again!

"Um?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the golden-armored youth.

It wasn't cleaved in two by his sword.

"court death!"

The young man felt insulted and unleashed his magical power without reservation.

Great Sun Shattering Star Seal!

A golden seal, as dazzling as the blazing sun, fell from the sky and smashed onto the back of the stone.

"Snap!"

The clear sound of bones cracking echoed throughout the hall.

Shi Tou spat out a mouthful of black blood and was smashed to the ground, his blood instantly staining the groom's wedding robes red.

"Stop hitting him! I won't marry him! I'll go with you, just don't kill him!"

Luo Ling'er cried her heart out, struggling desperately to push the stone away.

"Senior Sister Ling'er...don't cry."

A trembling yet broad hand gripped the blue bricks on the ground tightly.

Stone's fingers sank deep into the stone due to excessive force, causing his nails to peel off and bleed profusely.

Amidst the stunned gazes of the entire audience, this beast-like giant let out a roar that was not human!

"Aaaaaah! Uncle said... as long as I have a breath left, I will never let Ling'er shed a single tear!"

boom!

The dormant ancient bloodline within him burned wildly in the face of dire circumstances.

Gu Yun stared intently at the stone.

Despite the cracking and popping of his bones, Shi Tou managed to withstand the crushing force of the magic weapon and once again stood up, albeit unsteadily!

Blood was flowing from all seven orifices of his body, and the muscles in his arms were torn from excessive exertion.

But his massive body stood like a wall, blocking Luo Ling'er's way.

"Come on! You scum of Middle-earth! If you want to take her, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

The roar of the stones made the hall vibrate.

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.

All the cultivators in the Cangbei Spiritual Domain were speechless with shock at this body cultivator.

In mid-air, the arrogant golden-armored youth's expression changed.

He realized that his prized magic weapon was actually unable to break the backbone of a physical cultivator.

On the warship, the gray-robed old man who had always been aloof and superior showed a hint of emotion in his deep eyes.

"Such terrifying physical strength...such terrifying willpower..."

The old man looked down at the giant man covered in blood, who seemed to never fall, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

The Central Plains Dao Domain is a place where the strong prey on the weak, and geniuses are as common as dogs. What is it lacking most?

It's not a technique, nor a resource, but rather the will to protect a person.

Such people often have many opportunities.

Luo Ling'er possesses the Purple Heaven Thunder Body, and her future status in the Su family will undoubtedly be extremely high, but she will also inevitably face countless open and hidden attacks.

Having such a perfect henchman would be great!

"Su Qing, stop!"

The gray-robed elder suddenly spoke in a deep voice, stopping the golden-armored youth who was about to unleash a fatal attack.

The old man descended from the sky, looking at the stone with a complex expression. After a long while, he sighed deeply.

"Good, what a tough nut to crack."

The old man looked at Luo Zhen, then glanced at the weeping Luo Ling'er. His tone was less contemptuous than before, and more solemn.

"Luo Zhen, I take back what I just said. This lad is indeed qualified to set foot on the land of the Central Plains. He can go with Ling'er."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Zixu Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Gu Yun sighed, looking somewhat disappointed.

It seems that willpower alone cannot break the curse.

Going to the Central Plains was his only option.

But the old man changed his tone and stared coldly at the stone.

"But kid, don't be too happy yet. The waters of the Central Plains are much deeper than those of Cangbei! I've only agreed to take you there, but if you truly want to gain the Su family's approval and be worthy of Ling'er, you'll have to fight for it yourself! In that kind of place, your brute strength could be crushed to dust at any moment. Do you dare to go?"

Shi Tou spat out a mouthful of blood, grinned, revealing a simple yet determined smile through his blood-stained mouth.

"I don't know anything about the Central Plains or the Western Plains. I only know that wherever Ling'er is, that's where I'll be. Anyone who dares to bully her, I'll smash their head in!"

The old man gave him a deep look, then nodded without arguing further.

"Very well, then I will wait for you to get married."

The old man's gaze suddenly fell on a woman wearing a light gold dress.

She was none other than the Sunset Fairy, Su Wanyin.

The gray-robed old man's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

He landed directly and walked a few steps to Su Wanyin, staring intently at the contours of her brows.

He also felt the pure golden core spiritual power within her body.

"Your aura."

The old man's voice trembled slightly.

"Are you Su Wanyin, the abandoned daughter of the seventh lineage, who was stripped of her bloodline by her master's family more than thirty years ago and exiled to this desolate land?"

These words silenced the hall once more.

Sunset Fairy Su Wanyin, a Golden Core prodigy who made a name for herself in the Cangbei Spiritual Domain, is actually an abandoned daughter of the Su family in the Central Plains.

Su Wanyin sat in her seat, her hands holding the teacup turning slightly white.

She slowly stood up, her gaze icy.

"It's kind of Elder Su to remember the name Wanyin."

Su Wanyin's voice was clear and crisp.

"Back then, our master considered us a burden, stripped us of our resources, and threw us into the Sunset Swamp like trash to fend for ourselves. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet my benefactor, my siblings and I would have turned to ashes long ago."

Upon hearing Su Wanyin's admission, a fierce light flashed in the gray-robed old man's eyes.

A little girl whose bloodline was abandoned and exiled, formed a golden core in the resource-poor Cangbei Spirit Realm through her own abilities.

If such temperament and fortune were nurtured by the Su family in the Central Plains, their future would be limitless.

In families that cultivate immortality, only profit and strength matter.

The abandoned girl is now a flawless gem.

"Wanyin, what happened back then was a ruthless decision made by the main family. But families have their own rules, and the law of the jungle is the way of nature."

The gray-robed old man took a breath, and his tone suddenly became gentle, even carrying a hint of an elder's attempt to win him over.

"But you have now proven your worth. Come back to the Su family in the Central Plains with me. I can vouch for you to regain your status as a direct descendant of the seventh lineage."

"Not only will we provide you with the best resources, but we will also compensate you for the injustices you suffered back then! The Central Plains are so vast; if you stay in Cangbei, you will only waste your talents."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyin's delicate body trembled, and a fierce hatred flashed in her eyes.

Back to the Su family?

Go back to that cold, ruthless place that devours people without spitting out the bones?

She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Gu Yun, who was sitting high in the main seat.

Gu Yun held his teacup, his deep gaze calmly fixed on her.

He didn't speak, he just raised his chin.

His eyes seemed to say, "Girl, do whatever you want. If the sky falls, your big brother will hold it up for you."

Looking into Gu Yun's eyes, Su Wanyin recalled the scene of her being saved.

Then flashed back to the arduous journey she had taken over the years, climbing the path to the Golden Elixir amidst bloodshed and turmoil.

If she refuses today, the Su family will still be the same cold-blooded Su family.

In the future, there will be countless more Su Wanyins who will be abandoned and thrown into the abyss.

Running away will never change that corrupt family.

Su Wanyin took a breath, and the struggle in her eyes completely turned into determination.

She turned her head to face the old man in the gray robe, her voice clear and firm.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll go back to the Su family with you."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Cangbei cultivators sighed inwardly, thinking that Su Wanyin ultimately could not resist the allure of the resources of the Central Plains Dao Domain.

However, Su Wanyin's eyes were sharp as knives.

"But Su Wanyin is not going back to beg for your charity, nor for any empty title of being a direct descendant."

"I'm going back to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me. I'm going to climb step by step to the highest level of power in the Su family, and I'm going to change the rules of the Su family myself."

"I, Su Wanyin, swear that as long as I live, I will never allow the Su family to have a second Su Wanyin who is discarded like trash."

These words were a wake-up call.

The old man in the gray robe was stunned.

Looking at the resolute woman before him, he felt more admiration than anything else.

The Central Plains Dao Domain needs people with ambition and skill.

"Such arrogance, but the Central Plains only recognizes strength."

The old man gave her a deep look.

"Since you have such ambitions, I will wait and see in the Su family."

And from beginning to end.

Gu Yun sat quietly in the highest seat of the main hall.

He sighed several times.

He simply held the cup of tea, which had long since gone cold, and quietly watched the stone fall down again and again, only to rise again and again.

Seeing the old man from the Central Plains finally compromise, Gu Yun smiled with relief.

"Good lad."

Gu Yun finished the remaining tea in his hand in one gulp and slowly stood up.

His gaze passed over the main hall and looked towards the distant horizon.

The Central Plains Dao Domain not only possesses endless resources and unfathomable laws, but also Ling'er, Shi Tou, and Gu Chengfeng.

Gu Yun stretched his neck, producing a series of crisp cracking sounds.
