Chapter 1: Traveling through a comprehensive martial arts world, aiming to be the villain

A major event was currently unfolding on Mount Wudang. It turned out that Zhang Zhang Cuishan, who had left the Central Plains for sixteen years (ten years in the original work), had returned with his wife, Yin Yin Susu.

In the main hall, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhang Cuishan were performing a scene of holding hands and looking at each other with teary eyes. Meanwhile, in a corner, a third-generation disciple—appearing to be seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a standard disciple’s Daoist robe, with his hair tied in a *ziwu* bun, his face like jade, and a hint of bewilderment on his refined features—was watching everything that was happening.

If one were to ignore the bewildered expression on his face, he could certainly be called a handsome youth.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had never expected that upon waking up, he would encounter the legendary event of transmigration, and the scene unfolding before him was also very familiar.

The old man in the seat of honor had a tall stature, hair and beard like silver, and a ruddy, smooth face, looking just like the legendary "crane-haired, youthful-faced" immortal. He was none other than the founder of the Wu Dangpai, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng.

The five people behind Zhang Zhang Sanfeng were all full of vigor and had an extraordinary bearing; they were likely five of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, excluding Zhang Zhang Cuishan and Yu Yu Daiyan.

The other protagonist in the hall, with a scholarly air, a thin frame, and handsome features, was Zhang Zhang Cuishan. His appearance was simply not in the same style as the other five heroes present, so it was no wonder Zhang Zhang Sanfeng doted on this fifth disciple the most.

Of course, what attracted Gu Gu Hanyuan’s gaze the most was the beautiful woman behind Zhang Zhang Cuishan. Her jade cheeks were slightly thin, her eyebrows curved and straight, and when she smiled, there was a shallow dimple on her left cheek. Although she was already a married woman, there was no sign of fading beauty; instead, she possessed a more mature charm.

The woman was Zhang Zhang Cuishan’s wife, Yin Yin Susu. Although her expression was slightly tense, it did not diminish her grace in the slightest. She was even more beautiful than the internet celebrities captured by modern beauty cameras, especially her natural, unadorned, lotus-like temperament. It was no wonder Gu Gu Hanyuan was stunned.

Yin Yin Susu seemed to sense Gu Gu Hanyuan’s slightly impolite, scrutinizing gaze. She frowned slightly, and when she turned her head to see that it was just a handsome young Daoist, her mood improved a little. Sure enough, it was a world where looks mattered no matter where one went.

However, being stared at for so long, aside from a hint of pride that she still possessed charm despite her age, she felt more dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, this was not the time to act out; after all, having spent years raising her husband and children, the ruthlessness and willfulness of her youth had been worn away. Just then, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng began to converse with her, so she had no choice but to pretend not to see Gu Gu Hanyuan’s gaze.

Although Gu Gu Hanyuan’s gaze had been drawn to Yin Yin Susu, he was not so lacking in restraint as to stare for a long time. In fact, if one looked closely, one could see that the focus of his gaze was not on Yin Yin Susu at all.

It turned out that just a moment ago, Gu Gu Hanyuan had awakened his "golden finger"—the Great Villain System—which had not been late.

This system did not issue various tasks, nor did it have any punishments like erasure. Its settings were very simple: as long as one performed villainous acts, one could obtain an evaluation, and the higher the evaluation, the more Villain Points one could obtain.

Villain Points could not only be used to exchange for existing martial arts and items or directly improve one's cultivation realm, but they could also be used to deduce things according to one's requirements, obtaining whatever one desired. Simply put, as long as one had enough Villain Points, it was no different from making a wish; even cultivating to immortality in a martial arts world was not a difficult task.

The system even provided a friendly reminder: villains and protagonists were on opposite sides, and matters related to the protagonist were more likely to yield high evaluations.

Gu Gu Hanyuan pondered for a moment and realized the potential for manipulation. The protagonist’s opportunities and romantic entanglements were all his prey; they were exactly like leeks. Given the protagonist’s characteristics, they would inevitably grow back after being harvested.

Expanding his thinking, not only the protagonist but also supporting characters could be harvested as leeks. If planned properly, even the original villains could become his leeks.

Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes were deep; he decided to replace all the villains and become the ultimate villain.

Looking at Zhang Zhang Cuishan and his wife Yin Yin Susu in the hall, his thoughts raced.

"Since the protagonist Zhang Zhang Wuji is not present, I will treat you as my first test subjects. As the protagonist’s parents, you fit the target of a villain in both reason and emotion."

Zhang Zhang Cuishan was in the midst of the joy of reuniting with his master and fellow disciples, but he suddenly felt a chill down his spine for no reason. Yin Yin Susu even subconsciously rubbed her arms, leading Zhang Zhang Sanfeng and the others to think that the two had caught a cold after their long, exhausting journey.

Soon, the two were taken to rest, and the group dispersed. However, because Zhang Zhang Sanfeng’s hundredth birthday was imminent, everyone still had their own tasks to attend to.

Gu Gu Hanyuan discovered that he had actually been brought to this world by the system long ago, but he had experienced the "mystery of the womb," so he hadn't been able to awaken his memories of his past life. Although he was curious about how he had died in his previous life, collecting information was more important now.

Gu Gu Hanyuan beat around the bush with several younger fellow disciples and finally figured out the situation, while also encountering many surprises.

First, this world was not the *Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* world he had originally thought, but a comprehensive martial arts world that fused multiple martial arts worlds. There was Qiao Feng, who could strike with the Dragon-Subduing Palms; there were the couple Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who guarded Xiangyang; and there were even the Iron-Gall God of War and the four-eyebrowed Lu Lu Xiaofeng, who dominated the *Wu Lin*.

Secondly, the area of this world was much larger than the original. Countries stood in great numbers, and various place names were a mess. There were three Central Plains dynasties—Song, Ming, and Sui—as well as alien dynasties including Jin, Qing, Mongol, and Western Xia.

While Gu Gu Hanyuan felt a headache over the chaotic situation, the good news was that the number of leeks he could harvest had suddenly increased.

Besides that, there was the information closely related to himself. Gu Gu Hanyuan was a disciple accidentally taken in by Yu Yu Daiyan after he had been crippled. However, because Yu Yu Daiyan was physically disabled, he was completely indifferent to teaching Gu Gu Hanyuan martial arts. Fortunately, Song Song Yuanqiao, acting as the Sect Master, made an exception and allowed Gu Gu Hanyuan to go to the library to view secret manuals, although he could not take them out of the library.

In the *Wu Lin*, having a master to teach you and not having one were two completely different things. Just picking up a manual and Yu Wanting to master martial arts was a very rare thing. The most typical example was Mei Mei Chaofeng, who had stubbornly practiced the "Bone-Clawing Skill" into the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw." It was no wonder Gu Gu Hanyuan’s original self hadn't cultivated any internal energy.

Because there was no master to test him, and he didn't spar or communicate with his fellow disciples, the entire Mount Wudang did not know how Gu Gu Hanyuan’s martial arts were. Although Gu Gu Hanyuan was a bit handsome, he was usually reticent and wore the standard disciple’s Daoist robe, making him almost invisible.

Having obtained enough information, Gu Gu Hanyuan took the time to pay a visit to his cheap master, Yu Yu Daiyan. As expected, he was paralyzed in bed, looking haggard, and was indifferent to Gu Gu Hanyuan’s visit.

After offering a few perfunctory words of concern, he noticed Yu Yu Daiyan’s gloomy eyes, clearly harboring worries. It was estimated that he had already met Zhang Zhang Cuishan and his wife and had recognized Yin Yin Susu, who had used the poison needle to ambush him back then. However, looking at the calm atmosphere, it seemed he was holding back for the sake of brotherhood and had not yet brought the matter to light, but it was like a suppressed volcano that would eventually erupt.
