Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate (Old Version)

Chapter 129: Transitioning to the Purple Heaven Dark Star Heavenly Scripture



To clarify, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning's reliance on Fang Yuan's cultivation base wasn't an absolute necessity.

They could, in theory, draw upon someone else's.

Provided one achieved the Heavenly Origin realm, and the essence of their Heavenly Origin wasn't woefully inferior, they could lend support in recuperation.

However, apprehension arose from the prospect that Fang Yuan might hide the ring in a desolate, unpopulated location.

Under those circumstances, the amount of time it would take for the ring to resurface was anyone's guess.

Furthermore, Fang Yuan's aptitude was notably exceptional, fostering rapid progress and the capacity to supply them with an increased and superior energy sourced from his cultivation base.

Hence, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had never contemplated replacing him.

Moreover, despite being mortal enemies, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were currently too weak to engage in conflicts.

They could merely bide their time, waiting for an opportunity to regain some strength before attempting to eliminate the other.

In this predicament, they formed a temporary alliance, prioritizing stabilizing Fang Yuan, the crucial provider of the cultivation base!

At this juncture, a consensus was reached among the three.

Subsequently, Fang Yuan put forth his immediate need to replenish his cultivation base, expressing his ambition to contend for the Holy Son's position and thereby ascend to the role of Holy Son!

Therefore, his capacity to supply energy from his cultivation base would be temporarily unavailable.

Shangguan Ning and Nangong Wan acceded to this arrangement.

At present, they had recuperated to a state of partial conscious clarity.

Despite their memories remaining patchy, a complete recovery wasn't of pressing necessity.

Given Fang Yuan's current cultivation base, depleting it entirely would barely aid their recuperation process.

It was deemed more advantageous to wait for his cultivation base to intensify before absorption.

Further, in order to back Fang Yuan in his bid for the Holy Son position and to acquire superior cultivation resources, enabling quicker cultivation and the generation of a more abundant energy supply from his cultivation base.

Hence, Nangong Wan conferred upon Fang Yuan a swiftly acquirable sword technique, while Shangguan Ning furnished a power-amplifying secret art that could be mastered speedily as well.

Straight away, Fang Yuan embarked on his relentless cultivation process!

Observing that Fang Yuan's principal cultivation method was commendable, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning saw no need to propose modifications.

Shortly after, Fang Yuan found himself encircled by top-grade spirit stones, and he embarked on his cultivation process post-ingestion of a pill.

During this cycle of cultivation, Fang Yuan was almost moved to tears by his elation.

His cultivation base had amplified! And showed no signs of diminishing!

"This is splendid!"

"Absolutely splendid!"

"I can finally engage in regular cultivation again!"

Fang Yuan's body vibrated with exhilaration, akin to a man afflicted by St. Vitus's dance.

Time continued its unhurried march.

...

As if in a flash, twilight descended.

Within the temporary dwelling.

"The concentration of spiritual Qi in this Purple Heaven Holy Land, located in the Everflowing Truth Central Domain, is truly unrivaled!"

"Even within this modest shelter, the density of spiritual Qi surpasses the maximum concentration found at the Starry Abyss Heavenly Peak multiple times over!"

"Cultivating here can be summed up in a single word: invigorating!"

Jiang Chen leisurely concluded his cultivation, opened his eyes, and shared a few thoughts with a smile.

In just a day's span, he had accomplished a flawless transition to the cultivation of the 'Purple Heaven Dark Star Heavenly Scripture'!

Certainly, there were reasons contributing to this rapid advancement.

Primarily, this cultivation method represented the comprehensive version of the 'Starry Abyss Heavenly Scripture'.

Jiang Chen only needed to bridge the gaps and supply the missing elements.

Secondly, without a doubt, it was attributable to Jiang Chen's markedly enhanced cultivation aptitude and understanding!

Finally, there existed another explanation: besides detailing the mantra of the cultivation method, the jade slip also preserved cultivation insights personally annotated by Ji Mingxiu!

At this juncture, the Purple Heaven Dark Star Heavenly Scripture far surpassed the Starry Abyss Heavenly Scripture in its impressiveness.

The density of spiritual Qi in the Purple Heaven Holy Land was exponentially greater than that in the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain!

Jiang Chen's cultivation speed had likewise skyrocketed, accelerating to an indeterminate degree beyond his previous pace.

"The time has come to break through to the Inquiring Journey realm!"

Jiang Chen slowly gathered his thoughts, then readied himself to ingest a pill and resume his cultivation.

However, just as he prepared, a communication appeared on Jiang Chen's transmission jade token.

The message was from Ji Mingxiu.

During their exchange at the Jade Platform Pavilion, they had swapped imprints on their transmission jade tokens.

'A message from Holy Lord Ji Mingxiu?'

Jiang Chen's eyebrows perked up, and he promptly inspected the transmission jade token.

As it happened, Ji Mingxiu had planned to conduct a grand sect assembly the following day, where he would disclose two significant announcements!

The first significant announcement involved accepting Jiang Chen as a disciple.

The second substantial matter was the formal declaration of the contest date for the Holy Son position, confirming the contenders for the grand competition!

Subsequently, Jiang Chen was instructed to make the necessary preparations and journey to the sect's Main Hall ahead of time.

'Aside from the matter of my induction as a disciple...'

'Are they about to set the date for the Holy Son's position competition?'

Jiang Chen stroked his chin, his eyes brimming with contemplation.

The announcement of the competition date for the Holy Son's position was set for tomorrow, and the contestants would be chosen.

Fang Yuan would assuredly partake in the Holy Son's position competition. How could he neglect this grand sect assembly?

Upon this reflection, Jiang Chen involuntarily curled a frosty smile on his lips.

'If you aspire for the Holy Son's position, you must first enlist in the competition!'

'If you fail to participate, then abandon any hope of obtaining the Holy Son's position!'

A chilly glint flickered in Jiang Chen's eyes.

He then drew out the transmission jade token and reached out to Rong Liangcai.

A conversation ensued, words shuttling back and forth.

It was then that Rong Liangcai learned of the announcement the Holy Lord intended to make the following day.

What left him flabbergasted was that Jiang Chen actually wanted Fang Yuan to miss this important sect assembly.

He was completely taken aback.

After all, Jiang Chen had only recently inquired about Fang Yuan.

Rationally speaking, Fang Yuan posed absolutely no threat to Jiang Chen.

Why then would Jiang Chen take such a step, and moreover, instruct him so earnestly?

Nevertheless, despite his surprise, Rong Liangcai had already resolved to be Jiang Chen's unwavering ally.

This was the first task Jiang Chen had entrusted him with, and Rong Liangcai was resolved to execute it impeccably!

In line with Jiang Chen's instructions, it must not be revealed that this was Jiang Chen's own intent!

The matter was relatively simple!

Within the sect, numerous cultivators held a deep grudge against Fang Yuan, many taking pleasure in the discomfiture of this once prime talent of the Everflowing Truth Central Domain.

When the time arrived, it would be effortless to covertly rile up these individuals against Fang Yuan.

There would certainly be no dearth of people eager to participate!

There were those who found amusement in regularly seeking out Fang Yuan, in order to humiliate and cause problems for him.

This had happened more than once or twice; it was a recurring event.

Another instance of such a situation wouldn't raise any suspicion.

Furthermore, there was an additional strategy, which involved stirring up public sentiment once more, potentially thrusting Fang Yuan into a significant crisis where he could lose his status as a true disciple!

It's crucial to mention.

To partake in the contest for the Holy Son's position, one had to be a core disciple or above, and the cultivator had to be under the age of twenty-five.

Only then would they qualify to participate.

If Fang Yuan's status didn't meet these criteria, he would be entirely left out of the competition for the Holy Son's position.

Upon receiving Jiang Chen's instructions, Rong Liancai immediately set to work, with the clock ticking against him.

After all, the grand sect assembly was scheduled to kick off at dawn tomorrow. Time was pressing!

Not much time had passed.

Atop a cliff.

"Remarkable! Truly remarkable!"

"The sensation of my cultivation base revitalizing is so invigorating, haha!"

Fang Yuan had been in deep cultivation for some time, with his cultivation base consistently improving. The surge of power excited him so much that he found it difficult to restrain his joy.

It's critical to understand.

He hadn't felt the thrill of his cultivation base expanding in over two years.

Just then, vibrations pulsed from the transmission jade token.

With a subtle change in his countenance, Fang Yuan withdrew the transmission jade token and perused its content.

It bore two messages.

The first dispatch was from the Deacon Hall for the true disciples of Purple Heaven Holy Land.

It pointed out that he had not engaged in any sect tasks for an extended period and had not made any contributions to the sect.

This, they deemed, was not in line with his status as a true disciple.

Following this, they proposed that during the grand sect assembly, the number of cultivators safeguarding the periphery of the Purple Heaven Holy Land would be reduced.

Consequently, they requested Fang Yuan's assistance in maintaining order.

The other message originated from the Sect's Main Hall.

It disclosed that Ji Mingxiu would be presiding over the grand sect assembly the following day.

During the assembly, they would finalize the schedule for the battle for the position of the Holy Son, as well as confirm the list of contenders, among other things...
