"The cultivation technique doesn't have a name," Gu Tianxing pondered for a moment. "This technique is nearly perfect, surpassing the limits of the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures in terms of divine soul, physical body, spiritual power, and its upper limits. Previously, Qi Refining could reach a maximum of nine levels, but this technique allows for ten levels."

"After practicing this technique, Foundation Establishment can also condense ten levels. During the Divine Sea stage, one could cultivate up to nine Divine Seas, but with my innate talent and family resources, I managed to cultivate ten Divine Seas. However, with this technique, I can cultivate up to eighteen Divine Seas."

"The realms of Dragon Transformation, Tianyuan, Dao Palace, and Haoran have all been greatly enhanced."

"Since this technique has fallen into my hands, it shall be named the Tianxing Dao Codex."

Gu Tianxing then began secluded cultivation. A vast amount of resources, including supreme pills, medicinal herbs, and spirit crystals, were sent over. The internal members of the Gu Family speculated that it was because Gu Tianxing had acquired the Absolute Yin Body, greatly increasing his power, hence the seclusion.

The Gu Family had many geniuses, and the Divine Child had yet to be chosen, with several competitors vying for the position.

Currently, besides Gu Tianxing, the Gu Family had several exceptionally talented individuals, all of whom were elder-level descendants. Additionally, there were the ten ranking members, who were also strong contenders for the position of Divine Child.

Upon hearing that Gu Tianxing had entered seclusion again, these individuals felt increased pressure.

Other disciples also discussed the upcoming battle for the position of Divine Child.

"If Gu Tianxing weren't so ruthless, I'd actually hope for him to become the Divine Child. Alas, becoming the Divine Child means the next family head will be Gu Tianxing, and that would be a bitter experience."

"Apart from Gu Tianxing, the first in the ranking, Gu Moyun, is a few years older than Gu Tianxing and has reached the early stage of the Haoran Realm. He once entered a Dragon Cave and obtained True Dragon Blood, making his strength formidable. Additionally, Elder Gu Changtian's descendant, Gu Wufeng, has mastered one word of the Gu Family's Word of Law. Gu Wufeng has always been low-key, but his strength is widely acknowledged."

On the night of Gu Tianxing's seclusion.

In the prison where Lin Fan was held, he lay on the ground, bored, when suddenly a rush of footsteps approached.

A familiar scent reached his nose.

"It's Qingwan."

Lin Fan immediately stood up.

Sure enough, a graceful figure ran over from afar, filled with excitement and nervousness, hurriedly saying, "Lin Fan, today Gu Tianxing entered seclusion, and there's a gap in the guards. No one in the Gu Family is paying attention to you now. Today is an opportunity."

Lin Fan was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Really? But how do we open this prison? It's surrounded by an array formation, even a Supreme can't escape."

Yang Qingwan took out a token from her storage ring, inscribed with the character 'Gu.' It was Gu Tianxing's identity token, allowing access to any part of the Gu Family.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's expression changed dramatically. "Qingwan, you didn't... you and him..." he stammered, his lips trembling, his fingers shaking.

This token was a personal belonging of Gu Tianxing, a symbol of his identity. For Yang Qingwan to obtain it, she must have been very close to Gu Tianxing.

Yang Qingwan immediately understood Lin Fan's implication and explained, "What are you thinking? He's in seclusion. I paid a price to get this, but he probably hasn't noticed yet. Let's go quickly, don't ask too many questions."

Lin Fan slapped himself. "You've taken such a big risk for me, and I'm still thinking about these things. I'm so stupid. But if you stole his token, won't that mean..."

Yang Qingwan looked at him affectionately and said, "I've already decided. Since I've taken this step, I don't plan to go back."

Lin Fan was deeply moved, feeling like he wanted to give Yang Qingwan everything, even his system.

Yang Qingwan immediately used Gu Tianxing's token to open Lin Fan's cell door. Once Lin Fan was out, he excitedly reached for Yang Qingwan's hand, but she seemed not to notice and turned to run towards the exit.

Seeing Lin Fan standing there in a daze, Yang Qingwan urged, "What are you doing? Let's go!"

Lin Fan immediately stopped thinking about anything else, and Yang Qingwan tossed him a set of Gu Family disciple clothing. "Put this on quickly."

As they left the prison, everyone they encountered greeted Yang Qingwan.

"Young Madam, are you heading out?"

Yang Qingwan replied indifferently, "Yes," using the excuse of collecting cultivation resources for Gu Tianxing, raising no suspicion.

Lin Fan, seeing how smoothly things were going, was still worried. "Qingwan, we got out of the prison without any trouble. Are we just going to walk out of the Gu Family like this?"

He found it all too surreal, escaping from a prison even a Supreme couldn't break out of.

A flicker of unease passed through Yang Qingwan's eyes. The guards in the prison had been withdrawn by Gu Tianxing, and he had informed them. Otherwise, even a Supreme entering would have met a tragic end.

"Lin Fan, I'm now Gu Tianxing's wife, so naturally, no one will stop us. Don't talk to me too much, keep your distance, and don't give us away."

Lin Fan, hearing this, dismissed his doubts, though he still felt something was off.

Once Yang Qingwan and Lin Fan left the Gu Family, Yang Qingwan immediately summoned a yellow talisman, placing it under their feet. Their figures instantly flew across the ground.

They used a Great Ascension Cultivator-level Shield Talisman, and in an instant, they were thousands of miles away.

At this moment, the token in Yang Qingwan's hand turned red and became scorching hot.

She was shocked and panicked. "No, Gu Tianxing has found out. We need to move faster."

Lin Fan was equally anxious. Without the old man in the ring, he couldn't increase his speed.

Suddenly,

The token flew out on its own, hovering above them, and Gu Tianxing's furious voice erupted from it.

"Well done, Yang Qingwan. You dare betray me. Bring Lin Fan back now, and I'll leave you a whole corpse."

Yang Qingwan resolutely replied, "Gu Tianxing, you're a madman. Today, Lin Fan and I will flee far away, and one day, we'll avenge this."

Whether she meant it or was acting, it was flawless, moving Lin Fan to tears, making him vow that everything he had would belong to Yang Qingwan.

"Fine, fine, fine, Yang Qingwan. You're the first to dare provoke me, Gu Tianxing," Gu Tianxing's voice seethed with boundless anger, and the token emitted a burst of fire.

Yang Qingwan shouted a warning and quickly conjured a protective barrier.

With a loud bang, the token shattered, and Yang Qingwan and Lin Fan were knocked down by the impact.

Lin Fan, still recovering, had little strength to offer. Yang Qingwan seemed to make a firm decision and summoned an array plate.

"Lin Fan, this is a long-distance temporary teleportation array, but it's risky. If we end up in a forbidden area, it could be very dangerous."

Lin Fan nodded. "Qingwan, I'm not afraid. We're only a hundred miles from the Gu Family. If we delay any longer, we're doomed. Activate it quickly."

Yang Qingwan threw out over a dozen Supreme Spirit Stones, and a beam of light shot into the sky. Just before they teleported away, they saw a rainbow streak approaching rapidly from afar. It was a Great Ascension Stage elder from the Gu Family. Even before he arrived, a massive hand covered the sky, descending upon them.

With a loud crash, the mountaintop exploded, and the teleportation array was destroyed. Unfortunately, they had already teleported away.

Back at the Gu Family, Gu Tianxing's lips curled into a smile. "Yang Qingwan would make a great actress."
