Eastern Desolate Lands, Southern Domain, Tianchi Lu Family.
Divine islands floated in the sky, and silver waterfalls cascaded like silk.
Lanterns and colorful decorations adorned every corner, creating a festive atmosphere.
From time to time, luxurious carriages descended, brilliant divine light streaking across the sky, making it exceptionally lively.
Among them were high-ranking figures from the great sects and Immortal Holy Lands of the Eastern Desolate Lands, arriving with generous congratulatory gifts.
They were warmly received by the Gu and Lu Families.
The scale of the event was grand, truly reaching its peak of splendor.
...
"That young man sitting over there, he must be the Lu Family's Ancient Sacred Body, Lu Yuan, right?"
Many newly seated guests gazed towards the same spot.
Their gazes landed on a young man, approximately twenty years old.
His black hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his features were incomparably handsome.
Coupled with the luxurious red robe embroidered with gold trim,
he exuded the aura of a top-tier Ancient Family Young Master.
However… he was supposed to be the protagonist of today's joyous occasion.
Yet, he sat alone, quietly drinking, appearing out of place amidst the surrounding revelry.
"His appearance is indeed extraordinary."
"What a pity… he was born in the wrong era."
Several Elders from the great sects withdrew their gazes, sighing as they shook their heads.
The Ancient Sacred Body, in ancient times, was a supreme Physique with the potential to become a Great Emperor.
His Physical Body was peerless, his combat power unmatched, and he had left behind many legends in the history of Cultivation.
However, for some unknown reason later on,
this Physique became a target of Heavenly Dao's jealousy.
Dozens of Heavenly Dao shackles were imposed upon it.
Just embarking on the path of Cultivation was incredibly difficult.
The resources required for subsequent advancements were even more immense, to an unimaginable extent, such that even Ancient Families could not afford to sustain it.
Therefore, this Physique became a Trash Physique, completely dormant.
"Although the Ancient Sacred Body cannot Cultivate, its Bloodline Power is still remarkable."
"For this marriage alliance to be successful, the Lu Family must have invested a great deal."
An Elder from a great sect's eyes flickered as he communicated through Divine Thought.
"That is natural."
"Without enormous self-interest, the Gu Family would never marry a Goddess to a mere Trash Physique."
"However, for the Gu Family, this is also an enormous gamble."
"If a divine embryo can be successfully born, both families will rejoice greatly."
"If not, then it will be a case of losing both the wife and the soldiers!"
The others nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The Gu Family's Goddess, Gu Qinghuang, was widely renowned.
She was once called one of the most beautiful women in the Eastern Desolate Lands by busybodies.
The young Prodigies who pursued her were as numerous as carps crossing a river, an endless stream.
Besides her beauty,
Gu Qinghuang's Cultivation talent was also extraordinary and peerless.
Not only did she possess the Innate Dao Embryo Physique, naturally close to the Dao, but her Comprehension Ability was also extremely high.
At only twenty years old, she had already entered the Cave Heaven Realm, making her the most formidable candidate for the current Saintess of Wan Chu Holy Land.
And the combination of an Innate Dao Embryo and an Ancient Sacred Body has a certain probability of giving birth to a child with an Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo.
This Physique is unprecedentedly powerful.
Ancient records state that countless years ago, a Great Emperor possessed this very Physique.
He only took five hundred years to achieve the Dao and become an Emperor.
He swept through everything, remaining undefeated, causing the Prodigies of all races to pale in comparison, suppressing an entire era.
Finally, he Ascended to Immortality and flew away!
If the two could combine and give birth to such a child,
it would surely lead the Gu and Lu Families to new heights!
...
As time passed, the lively wedding banquet drew to a close.
At the signal of several Lu Family Elders, Lu Yuan slowly rose and walked towards the bridal chamber deep within the hall.
A moment later,
Lu Yuan stopped, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.
An ancient and elegant bridal chamber immediately came into view.
Crimson red curtains hung low, and faint candlelight flickered gently, creating a hazy, ambiguous atmosphere.
On the bed at the very front, a woman sat gracefully.
She wore a red satin wedding dress and a golden hairpin Phoenix crown.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin fair, and she was dazzlingly radiant.
Her entire being exuded an ethereal aura, with a divine charm that seemed to blend with Heaven and man.
Like a Mysterious Maiden descended from the Nine Heavens, she was incomparably pure, making one feel ashamed of their own inferiority.
At this moment, Gu Qinghuang looked up.
The two of them met each other's gaze.
Lu Yuan was slightly lost in thought.
He had long heard that his wife was of peerless beauty, renowned throughout the Eastern Desolate Lands.
Now seeing her with his own eyes, he felt even more amazed.
"It's getting late."
"Let's rest."
Gu Qinghuang's beautiful eyes flickered a few times, then she withdrew her gaze, parted her vermillion lips, and spoke softly.
Her ethereal and distant voice carried no discernible emotional fluctuations.
And just then,
a cold, mechanical voice abruptly resonated in Lu Yuan's mind.
"Ding, detecting that the host is undergoing a major turning point in life, System is Awakening…"
"System!"
Lu Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted as he heard the notification sound.
After so many years of Transmigration, had the System finally Awakened?
In his previous life, he was an ordinary office worker, a good citizen of society.
Simply because he took a taxi home after a class reunion,
he inexplicably Transmigrated into this Xuanhuan world.
The Family he was born into was the current Tianchi Lu Family.
However, he was only a collateral Family member, his status not particularly noble.
Coupled with possessing the Ancient Sacred Body which prevented him from Cultivating,
it could be said that he had endured cold shoulders and ridicule since childhood, almost no different from a Trash starting point.
He just hadn't expected that his System would Awaken on his wedding night!
"Ding, System loading complete. Congratulations to the host for Awakening the Life Choice System."
"As long as you make choices according to the System's prompts, you will receive rewards."
"One, refuse to consummate the marriage, do not be controlled by the Family, reward: Solar Dao Body."
"Two, successfully complete the marriage, enjoy the beauty's favor, reward: Chaotic Body."
In his mind, the two option prompts sounded.
Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed again.
He was born into a Cultivation Family.
Although he couldn't Cultivate,
to solve his Physique problem, he had read many ancient texts and was not unfamiliar with these two Physiques.
The Solar Dao Body, extremely Yang and rigid, upon Cultivating to the Major Achievement realm, controls world-shaking attacks, leading directly to the Emperor's path!
And the Chaotic Body, its reputation is equally resounding!
This is a Physique favored by Heaven and Earth, unsuppressed by Heavenly Dao Laws.
It can integrate with all Dao, Innately evolve all Laws, and Innately destroy all things!
It Cultivates by forcefully plundering the Qi from all directions using its Chaotic Origin, instantly unleashing profound arts and Dao Laws, which is extremely terrifying!
"Chaotic Body…"
"Unsuppressed by Heavenly Dao Laws, perhaps it can break through the shackles of my Ancient Sacred Body in one go!"
Lu Yuan stood still, deep in thought.
At this moment, Gu Qinghuang, seeing his hesitant expression and his delay in moving, couldn't help but slightly furrow her delicate brows.
"Since I have agreed to your Lu Family's marriage proposal, I will naturally uphold the way of a wife."
"For this, you need not worry too much."
Lu Yuan was stunned by her words.
It seemed his wife had already come to terms with it.
There wouldn't be any melodramatic son-in-Law plot points like refusing to share the bed.
If that's the case…
He should still choose the Chaotic Body!
But don't misunderstand…
Consummating the marriage or not, it truly doesn't matter.
The main reason is to use the characteristics of the Chaotic Body to unlock the Ancient Sacred Body shackles!
Immediately, Lu Yuan stopped thinking, slowly removed his outer robe, and walked towards the bed.
