I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

On the shore of the East China Sea.

The once calm sea was now boiling over, with waves churning.

A colossal bronze gate rises from the seabed, standing between the sea and the sky.

The gate was a hundred feet high and several tens of feet wide, covered with intricate ancient runes, and beneath the blue bronze rust lay unspeakable traces of time.

The news spread like wildfire through various unmonitored channels, reaching the entire ancient martial arts world of China overnight.

The tomb of the immortals has been revealed.

The official response was swift; maritime patrol boats and naval vessels arrived immediately and established a cordon several kilometers away from the Bronze Gate.

Warnings were playing on a loop from loudspeakers, prohibiting any ships from approaching.

But this blockade is effective for ordinary people; for truly important figures, it's practically useless.

Outside the blockade, hundreds of luxury yachts were moored in close proximity.

Countless wealthy merchants and martial artists crowded on the deck, holding binoculars and gazing longingly at the magnificent bronze gate in the distance, their faces filled with greed and resentment.

On an exceptionally luxurious yacht, Mr. Qian, a newly minted real estate tycoon in Shanghai, was smugly praising an elderly man with a sage-like demeanor beside him.

"Master Liu, we're counting on you today. If you can just let me, Qian, in for a bowl of soup, you'll be a permanent honored guest of the Qian family!"

The old man, known as Master Liu, stroked his goatee, his face bearing the arrogance of a master.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qian, a mere stone gate can't stop me."

He didn't speak loudly, but he deliberately used his inner strength so that everyone on the surrounding yachts could hear him clearly.

"Grandmaster of Internal Energy!"

"It's Grandmaster Liu Quan, the 'Wave-Riding Hand'! A veteran master with thirty years of experience!"

"It's said that with a single palm strike, he can shatter stone tablets and split rocks; a mere stone gate is truly no match for him!"

"Boss Qian really has a big budget; he actually managed to get him to come!"

A series of low gasps and whispers arose from the surroundings, and envious glances were cast in unison.

Boss Qian straightened his back even more, and Liu Quan's smile became even more reserved.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Quan took a deep breath and lightly touched the yacht railing with his toes.

She drifted away like a weightless leaf.

He glided for more than ten meters in the air, and just as he was about to fall into the water, he touched the top of the wave with his toes again, and his body rose up once more, soaring forward.

"Skimming on water! It's really skimming on water!"

"That was so cool! No wonder he's a grandmaster!"

The crowd on the shore erupted in cheers and exclamations.

Hearing the cheers behind him, Liu Quan felt extremely happy.

He could almost see himself being the first to rush into the immortal's tomb, seize the supreme opportunity, and ascend to heaven in one step, becoming a celestial being.

He glanced back at the ordinary people who were being held back, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.

A hundred meters is covered in the blink of an eye.

He gracefully landed on a rock in front of the bronze gate, straightened his robes, and then reached out and slowly pressed his hand against the giant gate covered with runes.

He wanted to be the first to push open that door.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the cold bronze door panel...

A rune on the door suddenly lit up with a barely perceptible light.

There was no sound, no explosion.

An indescribable force appeared out of nowhere and slammed into Liu Quan's chest.

Liu Quan's smile froze instantly.

He felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed mountain, and he could clearly hear the sound of his sternum breaking inch by inch.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from his mouth, leaving a gruesome trail in the air.

He was sent flying backwards at a speed several times faster than when he came.

"Bang!"

It crashed heavily into the sea, creating a huge wave.

The once bustling coastline fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Everyone was stunned, their faces still frozen with envy and excitement.

The smile on Boss Qian's face froze. He stood there with his mouth agape, unable to react for a long time.

"Quick! Save them!"

It was Liu Quan's apprentice who reacted first, frantically directing the crew to pull the person out of the sea.

When Liu Quan was pulled out of the water, he was completely unrecognizable as human.

His chest collapsed completely, and countless bones in his body were broken. He could only exhale, not inhale, and it was clear he was not going to survive.

The scene erupted in uproar.

"What happened? Master Liu... just died like that?"

"We haven't even gotten close to the door!"

"What exactly is on that door?"

Among the crowd, an elderly man with gray hair looked at the massive bronze gate and spoke with a solemn expression.

"This is no ordinary mechanism; it's a powerful array of restrictions."

Those around him quickly asked, "Senior, what is a grand formation restriction?"

"In other words, this door is protected by an array of rules left by immortals. Those whose cultivation level is insufficient are not even qualified to approach it." The old man sighed, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. "Master Liu is a master of the Transformation Realm, but before this array of restrictions, he is no different from an ordinary person. In my opinion, only those at the Celestial Realm are allowed to glimpse its entrance!"

The realm of heaven and man!

These four words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads.

Most of the martial artists watching were just trying their luck, after all, the news of the immortal's tomb had been circulating for some time, and who could resist their curiosity? As for their cultivation levels, most of them were at the Ming Jin or An Jin level, and even Grandmasters of Hua Jin were extremely rare.

As for celestial beings, they are legendary beings.

The vast majority of people wore expressions of despair.

They finally understood that this predestined connection had absolutely nothing to do with them.

But a few true big shots had an even more burning light in their eyes.

The higher the barrier to entry, the more precious the contents become.

Just then, a speedboat with special license plates ignored the blockade and drove straight towards them.

The speedboat came to a stop, and Jiang Xiaotian stepped off first, followed by Jiang Yuer.

Jiang Yuer was stunningly beautiful, especially her long legs and slender waist, which were particularly eye-catching. At this moment, she had a cold and aloof expression.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

It wasn't because of her beauty, but because of the aura she naturally exuded.

It is harmonious, transparent, and subtly in harmony with heaven and earth.

"A celestial being! Yet another celestial being!"

"It's the eldest daughter of the Jiang family! When did she break through to the Celestial Realm?"

"My goodness, no wonder they're from the Jiang family of Shanghai, they're about to soar to great heights!"

The crowd stirred again.

Jiang Yu'er ignored the gazes around her; she simply stared quietly at the massive bronze door, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.

After advancing to the Celestial Realm, she could sense more clearly than others what a vast and boundless power was coming from that door.

That power made her feel as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Soon, several more forces arrived.

Chief Ding of the Shanghai Police Department arrived at the scene with a team of officers dressed in specially made black combat uniforms, maintaining order with serious expressions.

As various forces converged, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

In a corner of the crowd, several well-informed martial artists were huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.

"Strange, with such a big event, why haven't we seen anyone from the Li family?"

"You don't know yet?" someone whispered mysteriously, "The Li family is finished."

"What?!"

"It's absolutely true. I have a relative who works in the logistics department of the military region. He told me that just the night before last, Colonel Duan Changfeng personally led a team of soldiers and ransacked the Li family's treasure trove, leaving not a single hair behind."

"Hiss..." Everyone who heard this gasped. "The military took direct action? Colonel Duan personally led the team? What powerful figure has the Li family offended?"

"Who knows? I've only heard that this important figure has a close relationship with General Chen Long of the Jiangnan Military Region. That idiot Li Chengde is asking for trouble; he's kicked a hornet's nest."

Although the whispers were not loud, many of the sharp-eared martial artists around overheard them.

In an instant, the way everyone looked at Jiang Xiaotian and Jiang Yuer changed again.

The Li family was destroyed overnight, but the Jiang family gained a celestial being.

The landscape of Shanghai is likely about to change.
