In a sparsely populated valley somewhere in Sichuan, there is a magnificent building complex. The building covers an area of thousands of meters.


    There were all sorts of pavilions, gardens, and scenery. It looked just like a palace. And on the front door of the mansion, the words "Wu Residence" were written in flamboyant calligraphy.


    The architecture of the mansion gave off a feeling like it had returned to the ancient times. It was just like the mansions of ancient nobles, imposing and majestic.


    At that moment, there were red cloth strips hanging on top of the doors of the buildings. There were big red lanterns hanging on the doors. Two big red "Happy" characters were pasted on the doors. The servants inside came and went, extremely busy.


    In the backyard of this building, there was a man with average looks, but he was very angular. He wore a leather jacket, and jeans. He sat cross-legged on a rock garden.


    The simple attire did not match the surroundings. One was filled with the aura of modernization while the other was filled with the solemn aura of an elder. It felt awkward no matter how one looked at it.


    Not only did this man dress inappropriately for his surroundings, his movements were also very strange. He placed his hands above his dantian, his left hand above his right, and the thumbs of his hands together in a circular arc.


    Wasn''t this the posture of one who was often meditating and cultivating inner force cultivation techniques on television? Could it be …


    Upon careful observation, one could see the slight rise and fall of the man''s chest. And in this breath and breath, it was as if there was a strong suction force and tension. As the man breathed, everything in the surroundings started to sway back and forth.


    All of a sudden, the whole rear garden became a strange scene, as if one was in the middle of a sea, which made one''s imagination run wild.


    At the same time, his whole body seemed to have merged into this quiet environment. If one did not use their eyes, they would not even be able to sense the existence of this person.


    Time passed minute after minute. It was sunset when the man slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, a faint smile appeared on his face.


    "I didn''t expect that this trip to the mortal world would cause my cultivation level to rise so much. I believe it won''t be long before I break through to the fifth stage of the" Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique "." The man said in satisfaction as he felt his body become even stronger.


    "Tian!" At this moment, a deep voice came from behind. When the man had finished, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a long robe. He was standing in the pavilion not far away, nodding to himself in satisfaction.


    "Father." The man stood up from the ground and tidied up his clothes. With a tap of his feet, he leapt several dozen meters away, quickly arriving at the middle-aged man''s side.


    "Father, how long have you been here?" As Wu Tian spoke, he found a seat and sat down. At the same time, he grabbed the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of water before gulping it down.


    "Hur hur, I''ve been here for a while." Wu Hao looked at Wu Tian with satisfaction. He sat down as he said this and asked, "Seeing that you are about to break through, I did not disturb you? Seeing your robust body and light footsteps, it should be true that you have broken through! "


    "Yes, I''ve broken through. I''ve already reached the fourth level, and I''m not too far from the fifth level." Wu Tian replied with a nod.


    "That''s right. When I was your age and your cultivation only broke through to the third level, your achievements in the future would definitely surpass mine." Wu Hao continued to ask, "Oh right, how many handprints have you practiced the Hidden Hand Seal to?"


    "Uh, this …"


    "What''s there to be unsure of? The first place is the second place. It''s not like I can''t eat you up." Wu Hao hurriedly asked when he saw that Wu Tian was hesitating.


    Wu Hao knew the difficulty of practicing "Secret Sect''s Great Palm Technique". There were a total of nine hand seals. The more he practiced, the more difficult it would become. Even for him, he had only managed to cultivate the seventh hand seal. He was still two hand seals away from reaching great circle.


    It was always like this: no one of the same level could be a match for him. Once he mastered all nine hand seals and reached the realm of nine by nine to one, then the power of the Secret Sect''s hand seals would increase by several times. At that time, with the strength of a middle Xiantian realm, no one would be his match.


    (In this case, the Ancient Martial Family has different levels of cultivators: soldier level, master level, master level, sect level, and Xiantian realm.) Each realm was further divided into three levels.


    Unfortunately, he had already been stuck in the eighth seal for ten years. After ten years, he still hadn''t made any progress in the ''Secret Sect''s Great Palm''. One could imagine the difficulty of practicing this technique.


    "The second one is ready, but the third one will be ready soon." Wu Tian felt a little apprehensive. The《 Heavenly Element Mantra》 and《 Secret Sect''s Palm》 were the most precious treasures of the Wu Clan. The two of them had to be combined together in order to display a formidable might.


    One had to know that the "Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique" specialized in internal energy and the rate of increase in internal energy was very fast. Unfortunately, it did not have much power on its own.


    The ancestors of the Wu Clan had also noticed this. They had wanted to change to another cultivation technique, but how could a high-grade one be found so easily?


    It just so happened that at that time, the Western Regions'' secret sect traitor, Timothy, stole a lot of secret martial arts books and fled into the Central Plains. At that time, the High Monk of the Secret Martial School of the Western Regions had come to the Central Plains, but he hadn''t been able to find Tidamor for a long time.


    Of course, there was a price for others to pay for doing things, so they were able to successfully capture one of the secret martial arts that the Tidamo Clan had stolen. Of course, that was only if the clan practiced it themselves.


    The ancestor of the Wu family naturally wouldn''t let go of this opportunity. Using almost all of his strength, he finally managed to kill Tidamor in Chongqing, Sichuan.


    According to the previous conditions, they had obtained the secret handprint, a top-notch martial art. At the same time, the Wu family was also the only family in the Central Plains that could openly use the "Secret Sect''s Great Palm" apart from the Tibetan Secret Sect.


    As he spoke of the "Secret Sect''s Great Palm Seal," he had no choice but to explain its characteristics. The palm power of the Secret Sect Great Palm was extremely powerful. As long as one had powerful inner force behind them, they could break the iron sword in their hands.


    At the same time, the "Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique" was also a cultivation secret technique in the mental domain. It had a total of ten stages, and could have a miraculous effect of stimulating the brain and stimulating one''s potential.


    Moreover, when one cultivates the Elemental Heaven Heart Technique, one will be in a state of Thoughtless, Thoughtless, Desire, and Perception. It was because of this state that the speed at which a cultivator''s internal energy was being raised was so fast.


    Moreover, this state perfectly met the requirements to cultivate the supreme buddhist scripture, the "Secret Sect''s Great Palm Technique". More importantly, when practicing the "Secret School''s Great Palm", it would also increase the strength of the body and mind, both of which could have an additive effect.


    With this discovery, the elders of the Wu Clan made a rule that the two arts must be practiced at the same time.


    However, while cultivating the "Heavenly Yuan Heart Technique", he felt extremely uncomfortable all over, as if his body was being torn apart.


    In order to seek comfort, Wu Tian had neglected the cultivation of the Secret Sect''s Great Palm Art. On the contrary, he was more interested in the Heavenly Yuan Heart Art which could make him feel comfortable.


    Now that Wu Hao suddenly asked, this made him a little afraid that Wu Hao would scold him.


    "You brat, it''s really, really …" Wu Hao shook his head and said, "Forget it, your day of great joy is about to come. I won''t say anything more. "However, you better listen up. After you and Wan''er have married, you must intensify your practice of the ''Secret Sect''s Great Palm Seal''. If you do not reach the fifth seal in one day, then don''t even think about coming out of this house."


    "Dad, you can''t be." Upon hearing these words, Wu Tian immediately turned into a frosted eggplant and slowly sank down.


    Now that he had experienced the modern way of life, he could no longer adapt to the monotony of life here. Letting him stay here would be worse than killing him.


    "Don''t look at me with such an expression. I''ve decided that there is no one in this family who can control me." Wu Hao didn''t care about Wu Tian''s attitude at all. He waved his sleeves and was about to leave.


    However, before he could get far, Wu Hao stopped and turned his head. "That''s right, your Uncle Shangguan wants you to come over and discuss the upcoming wedding. "Also, how did you change your nondescript clothes for me? Seriously."


    After saying that, Wu Hao left without looking back.


    "Irregular?" What do you know! This is called fashion. " Wu Tian looked at Wu Hao''s leaving figure and his mouth twitched. Then, he walked towards his own room.


    The Uncle Shangguan mentioned by Wu Hao was actually the head of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Jinghong. The other two families were the Xuanyuan family and the Li family.


    As for their strength, naturally the Xuanyuan family was the strongest. It was said that the Xuanyuan family''s ancestor was the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan. Yellow Emperor, just what kind of person was he? The Xuanyuan family was too weak to let down their ancestors.


    Next were the Li Clan, then the Shangguan Clan, and then the Wu Clan.


    The Shangguan Family and the Wu Family were on par with each other. The two Patriarchs Wu Hao and Shangguan Jinghong had been good friends for many years and had a good relationship with each other. Therefore, before Wu Tian was born, he had already arranged a baby marriage with Shangguan Jinghong.


    However, Shangguan Jinghong''s first wife gave birth to a young master called Shangguan Lie. Both of them were men, so the engagement between the two families was to be renewed.


    However, Shangguan Jinghong''s wife did her best, and it didn''t take long for her to get pregnant again. As for Wu Hao''s wife, her stomach didn''t move for a long time. Even after Shangguan Wan''er''s birth, Wu Tian didn''t have another younger brother or sister.


    Since Wu Tian and Shangguan Wan''er''s age wasn''t too different from each other, the two families decided to marry each other the day after tomorrow.


    Although the two of them were not even at the legal age for marriage, in the eyes of ancient martial families, there was no such concept.


    Creaak.


    The door opened and Wu Tian was dressed in a long white robe. His original modern aura had been completely swept away, giving him a graceful yet domineering feeling.


    "I''m used to wearing modern clothes, but suddenly changing into such clothes is really uncomfortable. Looks like I need to hurry up and practice the Secret Sect''s Palm Seal. Otherwise, Father definitely wouldn''t let me out." Wu Tian said helplessly as he walked towards the door.
