Invincible in the Battle Through the Heavens World

"I choose 2!"

Yun Shenwei made his decision without the slightest hesitation.

If he still could not answer such an obvious multiple-choice question, he would truly be an idiot. Besides, he had been hailed as a genius youth in the Yun Lan Sect.

"Congratulations to the host for making a wise choice! The probability of breaking through your current realm has increased by 100%.

The next selection will open at a random time.

System message: Since you have made the correct choice, no matter how many doubts come from the outside world, please do not give up easily."

The Extraordinary Romance System's voice gradually faded from his ears, and time, which had stopped, resumed its normal flow.

Before him, Nalan Yanran gazed at him with innocent eyes, waiting for her beloved's reply.

"Ahem... Yanran, actually, I like you too. You were born into a prestigious family, possess great cultivation talent, and are beautiful as well—gentle, obedient, sensible, and considerate. Whoever marries you will truly be blessed for three lifetimes."

Yun Shenwei gathered his emotions and began his heartfelt confession. "But we are still young and at a critical stage of cultivation. You are also Sect Master Yun Yun's successor. I don't want to distract you too much."

"Waaah... Shenwei Senior Brother, is it because Yanran has a childhood betrothal with Xiao Yan that you don't want me?"

Nalan Yanran looked as though she were about to cry, an utterly pitiful sight. "I don't like that Xiao Yan at all. Besides, this marriage was arranged by my grandfather and Xiao Yan's grandfather. They're so selfish!"

"Of course not, you silly girl. What nonsense are you thinking? How could I reject you over such a feudal childhood betrothal? What I mean is that I'm willing to grow up alongside you and protect you for the rest of my life. But Yanran, you must understand that we will face many storms in the future. There may even be many people who don't understand us."

Yun Shenwei smiled gently and reached out to affectionately ruffle Nalan Yanran's hair.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, then will you accompany Yanran to see Master Yun Yun later? Master Yun Yun loves Yanran the most, and she likes you too. As long as we tell her together, Master Yun Yun will definitely help us!"

Upon hearing the young man's words, Nalan Yanran's heart felt as sweet as honey. She had already decided that she would face all the storms outside together with her senior brother.

A mandatory Main Quest has been triggered. Please agree to Nalan Yanran's request and approach Sect Master Yun Yun to propose breaking off the engagement.

Note: This quest has been forcibly activated. The host cannot refuse it.

Quest completion condition: Yun Yun agrees to the matter.

Friendly reminder: Yun Yun is softhearted. The host must remain unwavering.

Reward: Free activation of the Dimensional Warehouse, All Heavens and Myriad Realms Mall, and one Random Identity Card.

The Extraordinary Romance System's voice entered Yun Shenwei's ears, but this time, time did not stop.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, why are you spacing out? Yanran wants to hear your opinion."

Nalan Yanran shook Yun Shenwei's arm, and it seemed pearls were about to spill from her large eyes again.

"Alright. I promise you, I'll go see Sect Master Yun Yun later."

Yun Shenwei answered with a resolute expression.

"Yanran knew Senior Brother was the best!"

Having received an affirmative answer, Nalan Yanran beamed with delight. She kissed Yun Shenwei on his right cheek, then ran out of the room with her face flushed red.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, Yanran is going back to change clothes. You should wash up too. Remember to dress more formally. Let's meet in front of the Yunlan Sect Council Hall."

Before leaving, the young girl reminded him from the doorway, looking exactly like a sweet and sensible little wife.

"I never expected that I, Yun Shenwei, would have such good fortune. I originally thought Nalan Yanran would be some proud, lofty daughter of heaven, but who would have thought she could be so gentle and shy before the one she loved? If the beauty has feelings, then so do I. In this life, I am willing to ride through the world with her and admire the blooming flowers of myriad realms."

Yun Shenwei sat up from the bed and carefully examined himself in the bronze mirror. With clear brows and handsome features, he was the very image of a dashing young man. His ordinary moon-white disciple's robe somehow gave him the carefree, unworldly air of an exiled immortal. No wonder a favored daughter of heaven like Nalan Yanran had fallen for him.

Sure enough, everything the novels said was true.

Being handsome gave you an advantage.

Being handsome and strong gave you an even greater advantage.

Being handsome, strong, righteous, and backed by a system meant that I was invincible in the Battle Through the Heavens World!

Yun Shenwei did not waste any time. He quickly washed up and changed into a brand-new moon-white disciple's robe.

He admired himself in the bronze mirror for a while, calculated how long it would take a girl to dress up, and only then prepared to head out.

Just as he stepped out of his room, he suddenly remembered that he had not brought his sword. He turned back, picked it up, and fastened it at his waist.

The spring breeze drifted past. Peach blossoms burned brightly throughout the Yun Lan Sect, while immortal cranes occasionally flew overhead. Beneath the dazzling sunlight, clouds and mist curled through the air, making the place seem like an immortal realm!

"What a beautiful place! If I hadn't come, it would have been destroyed by that bastard Xiao Yan. How ironic."

Yun Shenwei walked down roads that were both familiar and strange, his heart filled with emotion.

In truth, Xiao Yan could hardly be called an honorable gentleman. Throughout Battle Through the Heavens, he had flirted ambiguously with who knew how many female cultivators. If not for the strange chain of events that led to something happening between him and Medusa Queen, and then for her having his child, what right did a lecher like him have?

Not only did he leave romantic debts everywhere throughout the early, middle, and later stages of Battle Through the Heavens, he even considered the breaking of a marriage arranged before birth to be the greatest humiliation.

For the sake of so-called dignity, he wrote a letter of repudiation?

What a pity. The entire Gama Empire knew that trash like him was not worthy of Nalan Yanran.

He had transmigrated from Blue Water Star into the Battle Through the Heavens World, yet he still caused this kind of nonsense. It was utterly laughable.

His so-called talent was nothing much either. Without a freakish bug like Old Man Yao, what could he accomplish even if given ten thousand years? Could the position of Fighting God possibly be his? Keep dreaming!

Soul Emperor was more qualified to become a Fighting God than he was. At the very least, the Soul Clan was more open and honorable than that brat Xiao Yan. They did not launch sneak attacks and play dirty tricks at every turn like Xiao Yan did. Just because he had a little old man with a Golden Finger by his side and secretly learned the freakishly ever-evolving Flame Mantra, he thought he was invincible?

He made an enemy today and another tomorrow. Without Old Man Yao's help, he would have died hundreds of times already, and he still wanted to become a Fighting God? Go become a Fighting Ghost instead!

The more Yun Shenwei thought about it along the way, the angrier he became. He felt that even considering becoming brothers with Xiao Yan at the start had been a mistake—a horribly wrong one!

Fortunately, the Extraordinary Romance System had appeared and pointed him toward a broad, righteous road filled with promise.

"Greetings, Shenwei Senior Brother!"

"Greetings, Shenwei Senior Brother!"

"If only I were half as impressive as Senior Apprentice Brother..."

"Senior Apprentice Brother is so handsome. He truly is the number one among our younger generation!"

By the time Yun Shenwei came back to his senses, he had arrived at the Ordinary Disciple Cultivation Area of the Yun Lan Sect.

At that moment, groups of ordinary disciples were seated in meditation, cultivating diligently. When they saw Yun Shenwei, they immediately rose and bowed respectfully.

"No need for such formalities. You are all destined to become the backbone of the Yun Lan Sect. Do not belittle yourselves. Cultivate diligently, and you will naturally obtain your own opportunities. Know that the day a white colt transforms into a dragon will eventually come; all that one gains is karma."

Yun Shenwei returned their salute with cupped fists and offered these words to his younger fellow disciples.

"Thank you for your words, Senior Brother. We will certainly cultivate diligently and not disgrace the Yun Lan Sect's reputation as the number one sect of the Gama Empire!"

The disciples cupped their fists and bowed again.

Yun Shenwei smiled faintly, turned around, and strode away.

He discovered that he was growing more fond of this place. It was not like the sects described in certain novels, where fellow disciples constantly schemed against one another. Perhaps everyone had a few minor flaws and bad habits, but in their daily lives, they surely loved one another and were as close as family.

Of course, every place had its scum. Those exceptions did not count!

Before long, he arrived at a plaza spanning a thousand zhang in every direction. At the far end of the plaza stood a magnificent, resplendent hall.

"What a grand sight!"

Yun Shenwei could not help but sigh. Although he had images of this place in his memories, that did not lessen the awe in his heart.

After advancing quickly for a moment, Yun Shenwei soon reached the entrance of the hall.

Several dozen members of the Yunlan Sect Enforcement Team stood outside the hall, their expressions cold and stern, murderous aura radiating from their bodies.

Seeing this, Yun Shenwei took a jade token from his robes. The instant it appeared, the leader of the Enforcement Team raised a hand and shouted for them to let him pass.

"Hehe, Shenwei Senior Brother, Yanran is here."

Only seconds after Yun Shenwei entered the hall, he heard a sweet, bell-like voice.

"Junior Sister Yanran?"

Yun Shenwei instinctively looked toward the voice and saw Nalan Yanran standing not far away, greeting him with a bright smile. She wore a light pink dress that accentuated her noble, princess-like temperament.

At this sight, Yun Shenwei truly wanted to recite a poem praising his beloved...
