Wait, if MC's "wife" was so far above him in stature as an ABANDONED child... why is her sister attending the same cultivation school that he got in with his "lowly birth"? Wouldn't the holier than thou family have better sects or schools to send the family to if he can access the same school just by winning a city tournament?

It doesn't take money or status for you to be selected on the sect. All it takes is talent. Although power and richness might come in handy when it comes to take full advantage from the sect.

Is that his wifes name, is she finally getting a mention?

Nangong Yuqing is the name of the girl Tan Yun wanted to marry (the girl that her parents took in as a daughter/the adopted sister) but was taken away in the early episodes. Nangong Ruxue is her younger sister, her looks triggered something in Tan Yun's memory but he still cant remember she is actually a princess
she appears in another sect later on, and both were bitter rivals, whenever she sees him, it triggers her panic attack, and when she almost kills him it gets worsethey end up together after Tan Yun destroys her country. she is one of his initial 9 wives (18 in total)

was waiting for you to post on this episode to ask a question about what you said previously. is the green haired girl a wife from one of his previous lives? I remember you saying something about that he meets up with one of them again.

Hongmeng literally means Grand cover, but in this instance it is All Grand Encompassing, since Chaos and Origin realms has only one realm, while Hongmeng has nine realms, pretty much all grand encompassing lol

lol no, that is Nangong Ruxue, and I dont recall she is part of his harem, the thought of two sisters..... lol
His previous life's wife actually should appear soon, she will be one of the nine divisional leaders to select the outer sect students as disciple
The leaders and elders will select disciples based on their attributes, Mengyou had the most desirable dual attributes and was highly sought after, but Tan Yun had the least desirable, and was considered a waste, this is because no one knows what his attribute is, his attribute is Hongmeng, the most powerful one, if not one of the top 3 in the Hongmeng, Chaos and Origin universe, so no one wanted him
The outer sect Grand Elder beg his mistress/young lady (he served her family before coming to the sect) to accept him and swore on his life that Tan Yun will not disappoint her (think there was a time limit in which Tan Yun had to prove himself)his previous life wife isyou ready?The young lady, Shen Subing, the outer sect Grand Elder's young mistress and no it isnt the old lady at the end of the episode lol

I thought it might have been because he looks like he remembered something when he saw her but wasnt sure or it may have been that he was swayed by her looks and wanted to know more.

If I remember correctly, his memories about his previous life wife is triggered when he disguised himself and became her master because she wanted him to teach her advanced alchemy (he had to disguise and change his voice) ironically. It was when Subing sings a song and dances that he remembers that his wife used to sing the same song and dance the same movements, even though he strongly believes it is her, he decided to take it slow and to confirm 100% it is her
His wife is possess a protective seal, anyone who tries to be intimate with her will be attacked by a strong Qi/spritual Qi, this was placed by her in her previous life (she really loved Tan Yun), which meant throughout her reincarnations, she was never with anyone, since anyone who tries to be intimate with her would be killed (yes it is very strong, Tan Yun almost dies while trying to undress her lol)it was only when Tan Yun was recognised as her original husband that this protective seal was inactive, she was unaware of this seal and had no control over it

that is...... lmfao is all i can say... that thing is more powerful than a chastity belt lol
Now if all protective fathers could do that to their daughters, we'd lose a lot of men. The cover music for the footage of that event would be drowning pool's let the bodies hit the floor.

lol I know right?
but with regards to his harem, there are so many plot twists that it will keep you on your toes, each of his wives's background and side stories are very interesting lol

atm I'm more curious to see how much of a power gap there is at the moment with the family of his main wife compared to his current power level.

Main wife? Nangong Yuqing or Mengyou?
Nangong Yuqing's family is pretty strong, although it is the servants and soldiers that are strong, the family themselves are only so so, at the moment
Tan Yun cant compete with the guy who came to take Yuqing away

In terms of rankings from lowest to highest (this is my own translations so they might not be accurate) Each realm is separated into 9 levels plus grand perfection the highest level:

Spiritual Fetal Realm
Fetal Soul Realm (Law enforcement elder at ninth level, Tan Yun just killed)
Soul Refining Realm
Divine Soul Realm
Sacred Soul Realm
Soul Vein Realm
Divine Pulse Realm
Divine Realm Duan Cangtian, the servant who took Yuqing away is at the Grand Perfection level
Realm of Domain birth
Realm of feathering
Punishment Immortal Realm
Imperial Human Realm
Imperial Saint Realm
Imperial King Realm
Imperial Emperor Realm
Great Emperor Realm
There are more, but cant remember from the top of my head lol

As you can see Duan Cangtian is very strong

You werent wrong, but she reminded him of the wrong wife :D
The series will start to become more interesting as he becomes more stronger, with the usual discrimination also his previous life wife ignores him him as trash at first lol against him and of course shall we not forget stupid people who wants to bring death upon themselves by making enemies of him? :D

Dudes a better player than I am getting 18wives he must be a descendant of king Solomon

Welp hopefully it won't be long to see her get what she deserves, but isn't it to he lost his memory of her, or something.

hahahahahahahahahaha
insert kira's laughter, gilgamesh's laughter, psychopath's laughter

We all know who it's going to be.

I vote her most likely to pimp her sister for spirit stones.
