Chapter 16 – Reclaiming Supremacy

Lin Fan had absolute trust in Yang Qingwan, but now he found himself with an invincible cultivation technique that he couldn't practice, and time was running out. Even if he could practice it, escaping the Gu Family's prison was impossible.

"Lin Fan, don't you have any other way? Telling me like this, aren't you afraid the Gu Family will steal it?" Yang Qingwan whispered.

"Don't worry, I'll transmit it to you. Just remember it."

With that, Lin Fan began to transmit his newly fused nameless cultivation technique to Yang Qingwan. This was a common flaw among most protagonists: they had unwavering trust in the women they loved. As long as the woman still thought of him, he would treat her well without hesitation.

Listening to the content of the cultivation technique, Yang Qingwan was utterly shocked. This wasn't just a technique; it was a miracle. If this technique were revealed, it would surely cause a bloody storm across the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures.

Even the Qionghua Sacred Land's Qionghua Immortal Technique, which claimed to lead to immortality, was not even a tenth as powerful.

"What level of technique is this? Is it really something a human can create? If Lin Fan has such terrifying abilities, why did he impulsively break into the Gu Family for my sake? If he focused on cultivation, who in the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures could stop him?"

She suddenly thought of Gu Tianxing. He had known about Lin Fan's abilities and had imprisoned him, using her to extract his technique. If Gu Tianxing found out about this, there would be no chance of turning the tables. Moreover, knowing Lin Fan's capabilities, Gu Tianxing would never let him go.

Thinking of this, Yang Qingwan felt the world turn gray, everything falling into Gu Tianxing's clutches. Her heart hardened, wanting to stop Lin Fan from transmitting the technique.

At that moment, Gu Tianxing's cold voice echoed in Yang Qingwan's mind, "If you don't want your father and mother to become corpses by tomorrow, go ahead and shout."

Yang Qingwan's impulsive emotions were doused with cold water, calming her down, though her heart grew increasingly bitter. In the end, her family was still the most important. Although her father had married her off to Gu Tianxing for the Sacred Land's development, her mother had always loved her dearly.

She knew the Gu Family had the capability. Although both were top-tier forces, the Gu Family had existed for countless eras even before the first Supreme of Qionghua Sacred Land was born.

Gu Tianxing had mastered the Immortal-Chasing Seal to perfection, able to sense the emotional changes of those marked. He knew what Yang Qingwan was doing inside and could see the prison scene clearly through facial expressions and the seal's reactions.

He had guessed Yang Qingwan's thoughts and immediately transmitted a threat.

After Lin Fan finished, he noticed Yang Qingwan wasn't as surprised as expected, but rather looked worried. He couldn't help but ask, "Qingwan, what's wrong? With such a technique, shouldn't you be amazed and shocked?"

Yang Qingwan, snapped back to reality, looked at Lin Fan before her, still the same young man as before—honest and brave. Her heart ached, and she said sorrowfully, "It's indeed shocking. I'm just worried about when you'll be able to get out. Such talent locked in this dark prison, who knows when it will end."

"Qingwan, don't worry. I believe I'll get out, and I trust you. With this technique, you can surpass Gu Tianxing's status. Once you're strong, won't I be able to come out?"

Lin Fan placed all his hopes on Yang Qingwan, leaving her with mixed feelings.

Outside, Gu Tianxing thought to himself, if Lin Fan knew Yang Qingwan was already his and had deceived him, would he die from a broken heart?

Yang Qingwan couldn't face Lin Fan, tears in her eyes, and ran out in pain. Seeing this, Lin Fan thought she was sad for him and shouted after her, "Qingwan, don't worry. I'll be fine. One day, we'll be together happily."

After leaving the prison, Yang Qingwan saw Gu Tianxing with a faint smile.

Gu Tianxing said, "You've got what you need, now write it down properly. Don't have any crooked thoughts. My Immortal-Chasing Seal is no joke. You did well this time; I can be gentle tonight."

For a woman whose heart belonged to someone else, Gu Tianxing had no pity. During this time, his cultivation had visibly improved thanks to her Absolute Yin Body.

Ignoring Yang Qingwan's sorrowful expression, Gu Tianxing went to where Yuan Qing was held.

The ten-day deadline he had given was up. If Yuan Qing didn't agree, he would have to be eliminated.

He opened the heavy stone door.

Inside a yellow barrier, Yuan Qing's phantom sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed. Upon Gu Tianxing's arrival, he opened them slightly.

"Senior, it seems you've made your decision," Gu Tianxing understood that this Supreme Remnant Soul had resigned to his fate, choosing to live even if it meant servitude.

Yuan Qing stood up and bowed, "Young Master Gu, I have only one request."

"Speak freely," Gu Tianxing said indifferently. The Gu Family certainly had the means to fulfill a Supreme's request, but it depended on whether this Supreme was worth the cost.

"Please, Young Master Gu, help me kill my enemy, the Yaoming Sacred Lord of the Primordial Sacred Land."

"Primordial Sacred Land?" Gu Tianxing searched his memory. There was no such Sacred Land in Xuancheng Dao Prefecture; it must be a force from another prefecture.

Yuan Qing said, "The Primordial Sacred Land is in Tianxing Dao Prefecture, two prefectures away from Xuancheng Dao Prefecture."

Gu Tianxing said, "Senior, isn't it a bit of a joke for a Sacred Lord to have killed a Supreme like you? A Sacred Lord shouldn't have Supreme-level cultivation, right?"

Yuan Qing's face filled with hatred, "He indeed didn't have the power to kill me, but he was the person I trusted the most. I treated him like my own son, raising him for a thousand years, only to be betrayed and killed by him."

Gu Tianxing exclaimed, "This plot sounds familiar!"

"Plot?" Yuan Qing asked, puzzled.

Gu Tianxing waved his hand, "Just a story. Trading a Sacred Lord's life for yours, this deal is no problem."

Hearing this, Yuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Gu Tianxing hadn't agreed, he had no choice. "Thank you, Young Master Gu."

"Alright, since you've made your decision, the matter of your revival will be handled by the Gu Family."

Hearing this, Yuan Qing felt a surge of joy. Besides not being able to betray the Gu Family, it wasn't too bad. The Gu Family was already powerful, having such a backing wasn't a bad thing. With this thought, Yuan Qing felt much better.

Gu Tianxing then went to Gu Changge to discuss Yuan Qing's revival.

"Tianxing, I've also checked the Supreme's remnant soul. Gathering the necessary materials for revival won't be quick; it'll take at least half a month," Gu Changge calculated the resources needed.

"The value of a Supreme far exceeds those resources."

"Of course. I'm quite surprised that a Supreme would accept a Slave Seal," Gu Changge felt his son was becoming more reliable. Although his cultivation had progressed rapidly before, his handling of matters and temperament were lacking, which would eventually lead to trouble. Now, Gu Tianxing seemed truly invincible.

Only such a person could stand proudly at the peak in the future.
