On a mountain twenty miles outside the Tianyu Divine Sect in the Shendong Region.
In front of a wooden house, at a stone table, a young man and woman nestled together.
The young man was handsome, and the young woman was beautiful and captivating, truly a perfect match.
"Fang Gege, am I beautiful?"
Su Wan'er gazed at Fang Chen with her watery large eyes, those beautiful eyes filled only with him, one jade-like hand continuously moving back and forth across Fang Chen's chest.
Fang Chen revealed a happy smile: "Wan'er will always be the most beautiful."
Five years ago, Fang Chen's Master, also the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak, Tian Yangzi, suddenly returned heavily injured.
When he was on his last breath, he disregarded Fang Chen's questions and told him to cripple his Dantian, and to guard his tomb for five years.
After five years, all the answers would be revealed.
Fang Chen was deeply indebted to his Master, and even though he didn't understand, he agreed without hesitation, and crippled his Dantian in front of his Master.
Only then did Tian Yangzi pass away.
He buried his Master on the mountain twenty miles southwest of the Seventh Peak, and moved there to guard the tomb for five full years.
In these five years, his identity transitioned from a core Prodigy of the Seventh Peak to an outer Disciple of the lower Peaks, becoming the 'waste' and 'idiot' in everyone's mouths.
But Su Wan'er, his Junior Sister and Dao Companion, never abandoned him, often accompanying him during these five years.
Su Wan'er smiled sweetly, then asked curiously: "Fang Gege, has your Heavenly Dao Bone not yet matured into form? If it has, perhaps your Dantian can be repaired."
The Heavenly Dao Bone, a symbol of a Prodigy, one in ten thousand.
It is born naturally, and its possessors all have the potential to become top powerhouses on the continent.
It is the supreme divine bone that all Cultivators dream of.
Fang Chen smiled slightly; he had only told Su Wan'er and his Master this secret.
He said: "It formed last night, and today is the last day of guarding Master's tomb. Once I return and activate the Heavenly Dao Bone, I will definitely be able to reconstruct my Dantian."
"Once my Dantian is reconstructed, I will certainly pass the Seven Peaks Assessment and return to the Seventh Peak!"
"It's already formed?!"
Hearing this, Su Wan'er revealed a joyful smile, but then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
"Then I don't need to keep acting," her tone instantly turned cold.
Bang!
The next moment! Su Wan'er suddenly attacked! A palm strike directly hit Fang Chen's chest!
Fang Chen was caught off guard! He was directly sent flying by Su Wan'er's palm! He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood mid-air! And fell heavily to the ground!
"Hahaha!"
Before Fang Chen could recover from the pain, a burst of wild laughter rang out.
A young man walked from a distance, his eyes full of mockery and excitement.
"Fang Chen, Wan'er has been with you for five full years. Do you really think she likes a waste like you? That was to wait for the Heavenly Dao Bone in your body to mature."
Hearing this, Fang Chen felt as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts, even forgetting the pain in his body, and stared at Su Wan'er in disbelief!
"Su Wan'er! Tell me! All of this is fake!"
He roared, wanting to hear from Su Wan'er that she was lying to him!
But Su Wan'er's face was full of contempt and mockery, and she even walked directly to the young man, took his hand, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Waste, do you know who this is? This is Senior Brother Luo Yun, a core Genius of the Second Peak! He began to Cultivate at six, reached the Peak of Gathering Qi at fifteen, and is now at the sixth level of the Houtian Realm! He is countless times stronger than a waste like you."
A Cultivator's Realm is divided into: Gathering Qi, Acquired, Innate, Zhouyuan, Asking Dao, Linghai, Enlightenment God.
Reaching the Peak of Gathering Qi at fifteen was indeed impressive.
"If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao Bone in your body, why would I waste my time on you?" she sneered.
Luo Yun laughed even harder: "Fang Chen, do you know? After you became a waste, Wan'er was already my woman, and she gave her first time to me. For these five years, I've wanted to laugh watching you lick a woman I've slept with countless times like a dog. Especially just now, I laughed even harder. You really are just as the rumors say, not only a waste but also an idiot!"
"Why! I loved you so much! Why treat me like this!"
Fang Chen roared! Charging towards the two of them!
But he was a cripple, how could he be their opponent?
As soon as he got close, Luo Yun stepped on him!
Luo Yun took out a dagger from behind him, the dagger glinted! Fang Chen's limb meridians were directly severed!
Ah!
Fang Chen's screams instantly echoed throughout the entire mountain!
"Alright, it's time to extract the bone. Your screams later will surely be delightful."
Luo Yun grinned hideously! The dagger fell! Peeling back Fang Chen's Physical Body layer by layer!
Ah!
The intense pain spread throughout Fang Chen's entire body! His painful roars were filled with despair, anger, and hatred.
Finally, he was pulled into the darkness by this unbearable pain.
Yet no one noticed that a golden light flashed from Tian Yangzi's tomb in the distance, disappearing into Fang Chen's body in an instant!
But neither Su Wan'er nor Luo Yun noticed!
...
"Wan'er! I treated you as my beloved! How could you treat me like this!"
Fang Chen roared loudly! He sat up directly! He found himself in a pool of blood, Luo Yun and Su Wan'er had long since left.
"My injuries are all healed?!"
Fang Chen raised his blood-stained hands in astonishment.
The meridians severed by Luo Yun earlier had all been repaired, and although his back still ached a bit, it had also returned to normal.
If not for the blood on the ground and the empty Heavenly Dao Bone within him, he would have thought it was all a dream.
"What's going on?"
He stood up, confused.
But no matter how he looked, he couldn't figure out what was happening.
And just then, two figures appeared in the distance.
Fang Chen instantly became alert, no longer bothering to think about how he had recovered.
The two figures got closer and closer, and Fang Chen was finally able to see who they were.
It was an old man and a young woman.
The young woman was beautiful and serene, her eyes like deep pools of black jade, her skin fair and delicate, like carved ivory or jade.
The old man exuded Immortal Qi, and although his figure was thin, he gave off a profound and unfathomable feeling.
The two came before Fang Chen, and the old man spoke first: "Are you Fang Chen?"
Fang Chen was puzzled, but still replied: "I am Fang Chen."
Seeing Fang Chen admit it, the old man looked at the young woman and took a step back.
The young woman spoke, her voice pleasant but cold: "My name is Lin Xueyan. Ten years ago, the Seven Peaks Master and my grandfather made a marriage agreement, and today I am here to annul the engagement."
"Annul the engagement? Ten years ago?"
Fang Chen was stunned, he thought for a moment and remembered.
At that time, when Fang Chen was still a child, he displayed astonishing talent, and so Lin Xueyan's grandfather saw this and made a marriage agreement with Tian Yangzi.
Tian Yangzi was initially unwilling, but seeing Lin Xueyan's grandfather's sincere attitude and his promise that he would never go back on the engagement no matter what, he agreed.
But now it seemed, the other party did not intend to keep their promise.
Because at that time Fang Chen was only six years old, and he had only heard his Master mention it casually and hadn't paid attention, but he never expected the main party to show up today.
Seeing Fang Chen not speak, Lin Xueyan assumed Fang Chen was unwilling, and her voice grew even colder: "I am the current Saintess of the First Peak. The difference between us is like heaven and earth; it's no longer suitable. Hand over the marriage contract."
Saintess of the First Peak?!
Fang Chen's heart was slightly startled!
The First Peak and the Seventh Peak both belonged to the Seven Peaks of the Tianyu Divine Sect, and the First Peak had always been ranked first among the Seven Peaks.
The title of Saintess could only be held by a Personal Disciple who became the Sect Master of the Tianyu Divine Sect.
In other words, the young woman before him was not only a Prodigy of the First Peak! She was also a Personal Disciple of the Sect Master! Her future was limitless!
However, after a brief surprise, he regained his composure; these things were no longer important to him.
"Come with me," he said, then stood up and walked into the wooden house.
Lin Xueyan also walked into the wooden house, and seeing the dilapidated wooden house, her willow-like brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say much.
She had come here to annul the engagement and settle the Karma.
As for anything else, she had no interest whatsoever.
But at the same time, she grew worried; this marriage contract was undoubtedly a chance for Fang Chen to rise like a Dragon, if he refused to annul the engagement, what should she do?
Before long, Fang Chen came out holding a small, antique-style wooden box and said: "The marriage contract you want should be in here."
Lin Xueyan's eyes lit up, but she understood that Fang Chen would definitely not give it to her easily, so she said: "As long as you are willing to give it to me, I can give you a Second-Grade Spirit Yuan Pill..."
Fang Chen frowned tightly, and unceremoniously handed her the marriage contract from the box, saying coldly: "Take it. I don't need anything of yours."
Lin Xueyan was stunned; she hadn't expected Fang Chen to give her the marriage contract so easily.
This made her previous calculations fall flat, giving her a feeling of punching cotton.
"Is there anything else? If not, please leave." Fang Chen at this moment only wanted to guard his Master for this last day and did not want to speak more with Lin Xueyan.
"You, take care of yourself."
Lin Xueyan frowned slightly, looked deeply at Fang Chen, then drifted away with the old man.
Fang Chen's expression was calm, but his heart was incredibly pained.
That wasn't because of Lin Xueyan, but because of Su Wan'er's betrayal.
"Forget it, today is the last day of guarding the tomb for five years. After today, we'll talk."
His expression was dim, filled with grief.
But the next moment! He suddenly felt a warmth in his chest! Then a golden light appeared before him!
