Before anyone else could speak, a young man attending the wedding arrogantly shouted.
"Where did this bastard come from? Our Holy Maiden of Qionghua Sacred Land is not someone you can slander!" A robust young man strode forward with the gait of a dragon and tiger. Deep in his eyes, there was still a hint of desire for Yang Qingwan, though it was well hidden.
Gu Tianxing marrying Yang Qingwan was something he had no complaints about, but a nobody daring to covet Yang Qingwan was unforgivable. Moreover, this act might even earn Gu Tianxing's praise, and perhaps he could follow Gu Tianxing in the future.
"Trash, how dare you challenge Young Master Gu?" The robust young man turned to Gu Tianxing and said, "Young Master Gu, let me, Zhang Kuang, deal with this arrogant fool."
Gu Tianxing nodded indifferently.
This scene was exactly as described in the book before.
As the robust young man turned, he decisively threw a punch, unleashing the power of the Tianyuan Realm. [In the Xuancheng Dao Realm, the cultivation stages are Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Divine Sea, Dragon Transformation, Tianyuan, Dao Palace, Haoran, Gathering Cauldron, and Great Ascension.]
Currently, Gu Tianxing had already reached the peak of the Dao Palace Realm, while Yang Qingwan had just entered the Dao Palace Realm.
This robust young man, Zhang Kuang, was at the peak of the Tianyuan Realm, already considered a super genius among the younger generation.
"No wonder it's the Sacred Land; even a random person can surpass all the geniuses of our Dongyang Sect."
"This kid doesn't even know his own weight; how could he act recklessly in such a setting?"
However.
With a loud boom.
When the two fists collided, Lin Fan's body remained unmoved.
"Tianyuan Realm, this guy is also in the Tianyuan Realm?"
Gu Tianxing was not surprised by this scene at all. Lin Fan's fusion system allowed his cultivation techniques and divine abilities to far surpass those of his peers, making him invincible in the current Tianyuan Realm.
Even when Gu Tianxing was at the peak of the Dao Palace Realm, he was caught off guard and countered by him.
Zhang Kuang's face froze, clearly unable to believe that this sloppy young man could block his punch, his expression somewhat embarrassed as spiritual power surged around him.
A pattern rose beneath his feet, indicating the use of a divine ability.

He then leaped up, seemingly merging with the void, and launched another fierce strike, this time with a hint of the Heavenly and Earthly Trends.
"Zhang Kuang's talent is impressive. If he cultivates faster, he might have a chance to join the Sacred Land Ranking."
This punch made ninety percent of the young people present feel they couldn't withstand it, except for a few with extraordinary temperament who remained calm, and a few others who showed a hint of disdain.
Most of their gazes were fixed on Gu Tianxing, as he was the only one who made them feel immense pressure.
Standing in the center of the arena, no one paid attention to Lin Fan, as in everyone's eyes, Lin Fan was already a dead man, believing that someone at the early Tianyuan Realm couldn't withstand this blow.
After the booming sound, as the dust settled, a body flew backward, chest caved in, with another figure following closely, descending from the sky and stomping down.
With a thud, it landed heavily.
Everyone present widened their eyes at this scene, and Yang Qingwan beside Gu Tianxing showed a look of joy, but then an unusual worry appeared.
Lin Fan had Zhang Kuang pinned underfoot, Zhang Kuang covered in blood, clearly defeated.
"This kid is something else,"
Lin Fan looked at the people around him, from initial disdain to shock and confusion, feeling extremely satisfied inside.
You all looked down on me, but this is just the beginning. Soon, I'll trample Gu Tianxing, whom you consider invincible, underfoot as well. Over the past year, I've fused thousands of divine abilities and cultivation techniques, something you frogs at the bottom of the well can't comprehend.
At this moment, an old voice echoed in Lin Fan's mind.
"Lin Fan, don't be careless. Although your cultivation techniques and divine abilities surpass most inheritances, the Gu Family's foundation is no joke, beyond your imagination. Don't be reckless."
Lin Fan replied, "Don't worry, teacher, I'll catch them off guard. But after it's done, I hope you'll lend a hand.
Rest assured, the secret soul cultivation technique you gave me last time was very useful. I can now use my Void Array Pattern, and escaping won't be a problem, even if the Gu Family Head intervenes."
At this moment, Lin Fan stood with Zhang Kuang underfoot, exuding an aura of dominance, pointing at Gu Tianxing and shouting, "If you're a man, come and fight me. Sending these lackeys as cannon fodder, what kind of skill is that?"
In the original plot, Gu Tianxing still showed disdain, letting a group of young members of the Gu Family take turns before finally stepping in when he couldn't bear it any longer.
Lin Fan also knew the other party wouldn't act immediately, and that was exactly his plan. His fusion of cultivation techniques and divine abilities required time; the stronger the divine ability, the longer it took. Currently, a peerless divine ability, a fusion of two top-tier divine abilities, was almost complete, but he couldn't wait any longer and had to confront the Gu Family head-on.
Now he hoped to stall for more time, so that when Gu Tianxing finally stepped in, the divine ability would be fully fused, giving him complete confidence.
In the Gu Family's seating area, a young man wearing a brocade crown stood up, slightly older in age. He was the fifth in the Gu Family Ranking.
His rising drew considerable attention, as this fifth-ranked member was already at the early Dao Palace Realm, comparable to the Holy Maiden of Qionghua Sacred Land, showcasing the Gu Family's formidable foundation.
But Gu Tianxing waved his hand, "Since this person is coming for me, I'll handle it myself."
"Young Master Gu, isn't it overkill for you to step in?" the fifth-ranked member said.
"No matter, today is my wedding day, so naturally, I'll take care of it," Gu Tianxing said as he walked out slowly, leaving the fifth-ranked member no choice but to retreat.
Gu Tianxing's actions made Lin Fan slightly tremble. Why was he stepping in directly? Wasn't he supposed to disdain me, only fighting after I'd defeated several others?
"Gu Tianxing is actually stepping in personally? This Lin Fan kid is peculiar, but not to the extent that Young Master Gu needs to step in personally, right?"
"Judging by the earlier display of strength, the fifth-ranked member could easily take him down."
As Gu Tianxing gracefully descended from the wedding hall, a pressure belonging to the peak of the Dao Palace Realm enveloped the area, making Lin Fan feel an urge to kneel.
But he quickly restrained himself, clearly due to his extraordinary cultivation techniques and body-refining divine abilities.
This scene was extremely shocking to others, clearly making them reevaluate Lin Fan's strength, while Gu Tianxing remained unsurprised.
"Lin Fan, this Gu Tianxing is extraordinary. In my million years of life, I've seen less than ten talents surpassing him. Be careful!" the old voice echoed in Lin Fan's mind again.
"Teacher, don't worry, I have confidence. If he's one of the top ten talents you've seen, then what about me?"
"You're naturally the strongest talent, creating so many heaven-defying techniques at such a young age, extremely rare throughout history, undoubtedly the first."
"Then that's settled."
Lin Fan and the elder's exchange lasted only a moment, as Gu Tianxing had already descended onto the square, his red robe fluttering, his charming eyes and extraordinary aura forming a stark contrast with Lin Fan's coarse linen clothes.
Gu Tianxing didn't bother speaking, raising his hand to press down in the void.
Lin Fan's internal organs immediately felt a severe tearing sensation. Gu Tianxing's actions completely exceeded his expectations, his expression changing drastically, unable to react before being pinned to the ground by a massive force.
