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

'Villain's Eye!'

Jiang Chen eagerly opened Ye Fan's panel to verify the outcome of his endeavors!

[Name: Ye Fan

Realm: Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening

Status: Protagonist

Heavenly Fate Value: 9168/9168]

Indeed, the Heavenly Fate Value had diminished by 800 points!

'This is truly incredible!'

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, beaming with joy.

To onlookers, it appeared that his elation stemmed from persuading the four major sects.

Simultaneously,

'The sect has consented to collaborate with the Starry Abyss Sect...'

Ye Fan furrowed his brow, for he had never been keen on group endeavors. He favored acting autonomously and seizing opportunities as they presented themselves.

Working in collaboration with so many individuals, he constantly felt constrained and irritated.

Nonetheless, considering that he could effortlessly reap some benefits from the joint effort, he begrudgingly accepted it.

'If something unforeseen transpires along the way, I'll depart from the group and act independently.'

With this thought in mind, Ye Fan discreetly trailed the members of the Azure Jade Sect.

At that instant,

"Esteemed Daoist friends from the various sects!"

"As our Starry Abyss Sect is spearheading this endeavor, allow me, Duan Ziming, to preside over it."

"Disciples from all sects may observe the proceedings, and if there's any issue, please bring it to our attention promptly."

Duan Ziming stepped forward and spoke. This was an excellent opportunity to bolster the sect's reputation, and he naturally couldn't let it slip by.

He advanced after exchanging glances with Jiang Chen.

"Very well!"

"Let us congregate around the Starry Abyss Sect as the focal point, search for spiritual plants, and discover additional opportunities along the way!"

Mu Tao, the foremost disciple of the Floating Spirit Sect, concurred and spoke.

Instantly,

She guided a contingent of Floating Spirit Sect disciples to the vicinity of the Starry Abyss Sect.

Observing this, the other sects successively advanced as well, encircling the Starry Abyss Sect from all sides.

A measure of distance was maintained between the sects as a safeguard.

At that precise moment.

"Attention, everyone!"

"To ensure fairness and justice."

"We must establish agreed-upon rules before taking action, so that the spoils can be distributed accordingly."

"I propose a contribution point system, in which the value of different tiers of spiritual plants is predetermined as contribution points."

"Ultimately, we will allocate the rewards based on each individual's contribution points!"

"Naturally, my personal share, Jiang Chen, will be higher, amounting to at least forty percent."

"Furthermore, every participating Daoist friend will receive a base contribution point."

"Should a battle arise, we'll determine the contribution points for those involved on a case-by-case basis!"

"Now, let us deliberate."

Jiang Chen's voice resonated in everyone's ears.

Without delay,

The crowd couldn't help but engage in discussion.

"The contribution point system seems reasonable."

"However, Daoist friend Jiang Chen, isn't your share somewhat excessive?"

"A whole forty percent! Over a hundred of us are left to share the remaining sixty percent?"

"No, no, forty percent is far too much! I cannot agree!"

"..."

Everyone voiced their dissent.

"In that case, I shall compromise..."

Jiang Chen smiled, having initially asked for more, anticipating the need for negotiation with the others.

In the end,

His portion was determined to be thirty percent, along with a certain priority in selection.

The primary rationale for this was the difficulty in locating spiritual plants.

Higher-rank spiritual plants were often challenging to identify, and some were even expertly concealed!

Furthermore, Jiang Chen's rules provided substantial benefits for cultivators with lower cultivation bases.

Initially, they could only gather lower-rank spiritual plants.

The more valuable ones were typically claimed by those who arrived first, or were outright taken by force.

Worse still, if left unguarded, these cultivators might even face death!

As a result, disciples with lower cultivation bases but greater numbers were apprehensive about disbanding, and thus willing to grant Jiang Chen a larger share.

Subsequently,

Jiang Chen's portion was established.

Then, the contribution points corresponding to various ranks of spiritual plants were established.

With everything in place,

Everyone eagerly competed for the spiritual plants!

Just at that moment,

"Senior Brother Jiang Chen!"

"You need to use that unique sensing ability, and it's inconvenient for you to move around. Why don't we carry you instead?"

A core disciple from the Starry Abyss Sect approached, attempting to please Jiang Chen.

After speaking, he retrieved an exceedingly luxurious palanquin from his storage ring.

Upon closer examination, it was revealed to be an artifact. Although not of the highest level, it was still quite impressive.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Senior Brother Jiang Chen, we will carry you. You don't have to worry about anything. Just focus on sensing the spiritual plants!"

"Make way, make way, I want to carry Senior Brother Jiang Chen!"

Three more core disciples from the Starry Abyss Sect stepped forward, eager to assist.

In fact, this was a relatively simple task for them.

While others had to search for spiritual plants and confront dangers, all they needed to do was carry Jiang Chen.

"Alright!"

"When I'm sensing spiritual plants, it is indeed inconvenient for me to move. I appreciate your help."

Jiang Chen readily agreed and entered the palanquin.

It must be acknowledged.

The sensation of being seated within this palanquin was truly unparalleled.

Not only was it comfortable, but it also exuded an air of superiority.

"Now that everyone is prepared,"

"Junior Brother Jiang Chen, please begin detecting the spiritual plants!"

Duan Ziming proclaimed loudly, "Everyone, be ready to gather spiritual plants and confront any potential dangers!"

In a split second.

Over a hundred disciples from the five sects, including the Starry Abyss Sect, held their breath and concentrated, prepared to vie for the spiritual plants at a moment's notice.

After all.

The one who managed to seize the spiritual plants would naturally accrue merit!

Aside from the portion allocated to Jiang Chen, a bountiful harvest was guaranteed for all. The greater one's merit, the more spiritual plants they would ultimately obtain!

At that instant.

"Head eastward!"

Jiang Chen's voice emerged from the palanquin.

"Yes!"

The four disciples bearing the palanquin promptly proceeded eastward.

Everyone else hastened to keep up!

In a flash.

The immense group, akin to a gargantuan beast, surged eastward!

'Curse it!'

'How will I ever have the chance to eliminate Ye Fan now!?'

'Jiang Chen, you insufferable wretch. If I ever get the chance, I'll end you and seize the treasure from your brow!'

'...'

Within the Azure Jade Sect, Li Teng eyed Ye Fan, who was strolling in the periphery, and then glanced at Jiang Chen's palanquin, feeling a wave of bitterness in his heart!

Suddenly.

"Approximately two thousand steps north, a cluster of Spiritual Awakening realm spiritual plants can be found!"

"Roughly three thousand steps south, there lies a heap of Spiritual Awakening realm spiritual plants!"

"A mere thousand steps to the southeast, a Mysterious Platform realm spiritual plant awaits!"

Jiang Chen's voice, announcing the locations, continued to echo.

Instantly!

Dozens, even hundreds of sect disciples surged forward!

"Spiritual plants are up for grabs, hurry!"

"Hahaha, I've secured the Spiritual Awakening realm spiritual plants right here!"

"Mysterious Platform realm spiritual plant, drat, it was snatched away!"

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual plants revealed by Jiang Chen were completely claimed.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen persistently advanced.

He consistently relayed new locations, enabling the vast group to harvest ceaselessly!

Mysterious Platform realm spiritual plants materialized one after another, without end!

Spiritual Awakening realm spiritual plants were virtually gathered in copious amounts!

Jiang Chen didn't bother reporting the locations of spiritual plants below the Spiritual Awakening realm, unless their quantity was remarkably substantial, or they were exceedingly rare.

Intriguingly, numerous spiritual plants within this Cave Heaven secret realm had long been extinct in the outside world.

These plants could fetch even higher prices when brought out!
