Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Beyond the Heavenly Origin Realm Chapter 108: Beyond the Heavenly Origin Realm Aboard the spirit boat of the Starry Abyss Sect, Sect Master Feng Jun, Grand Elder Yu Wenyao, and a group of hall masters watched Jiang Chen approach through the sky.

His arrival sent chills down their spines.

Jiang Chen’s level of cultivation base appeared to defy all known logic!

They couldn’t shake off the suspicion that something was amiss, perhaps wondering if the Jiang Chen before them was an imposter.

As everyone was on edge, filled with apprehension, Jiang Chen landed smoothly on the spirit boat.

He greeted with a warm smile, “Sect Master, we’re back.” He gave a slight bow, his hands clasped in front of him towards Feng Jun, but said nothing more beyond his greeting.

Soon after Jiang Chen arrived, the quiet tension was shattered as Duan Ziming, Xia Ding, Nie Wei, and the other disciples following him also made their way onto the spirit boat’s deck.

They each called out their greetings, “Sect Master!

Grand Elder!

Hall Masters!” However, their well-intentioned greetings were met with complete silence.

Whether it was Sect Master Feng Jun, Grand Elder Yu Wenyao, or the gathered hall masters, none of them looked towards Duan Ziming’s group.

Their focus stayed on the always-smiling Jiang Chen, their hearts gripped by a mix of anxiety and caution.

Behind Jiang Chen, Chief Disciple Duan Ziming and the two True Disciples, Xia Ding and Nie Wei, shared quick, meaningful glances.

Their suspicions were now confirmed.

Duan Ziming, without any delay, stepped forward, planning to respectfully approach Jiang Chen from the right.

Yet, before he could voice his thoughts, he noticed Jiang Chen subtly turning his head towards him and giving a silent nod of acknowledgment.

After catching the silent signal, the quick-witted Duan Ziming, who had naturally positioned himself as Jiang Chen’s supporter, turned his attention to the senior members of the Starry Abyss Sect.

He cleared his throat and started, “Ahem, respected elders, I get the doubts and concerns you’re feeling.

But, by this point, I believe the worst scenario you’ve imagined has been avoided.” “So,” he went on, his face lighting up with a comforting smile as he spoke to Feng Jun, “Sect Master, why not ask the question that’s been on your mind and clear up this remaining uncertainty?” Hearing his chief disciple’s sensible intervention, Sect Master Feng Jun experienced a moment of embarrassment.

Despite the odd circumstances that had unsettled him, as an experienced leader, he realized it was inappropriate to be discomposed and need a reminder from the younger generation about his responsibilities.

Thus, after taking a deep breath to regain his composure as sect master, he finally addressed Jiang Chen, “Jiang Chen, what…

what…

what has happened to your cultivation base?” Despite his attempt to stabilize, his voice still revealed a slight quiver.

As soon as Feng Jun asked the question that was on every senior member’s mind, the atmosphere became charged with anticipation.

Everyone was on high alert, their eyes fixed on Jiang Chen, eagerly awaiting his reply.

Under the intense gaze of the high-ranking members of the Starry Abyss Sect, Jiang Chen, who had been quiet since his arrival, began to explain.

“As you’ve noticed, on my very first day, I encountered a tremendous opportunity that allowed me to advance successfully to the Heavenly Origin realm!” “As to how such a thing could occur, it might seem unbelievable to us.

But what if I told you the Cave Heaven Secret Realm was originally owned by a great powerhouse of the Dao Palace realm?” he shared, his voice a blend of confidence and a touch of revelation.

Jiang Chen had initially thought he needed a complex explanation for his rapid progress, given the exaggerated reactions from the ten major sects.

Yet, upon reflection, he understood that these people were like frogs in a well, not aware of the vast world beyond their limited perspective.

His role, he realized, was simply to guide them out of their narrow confines and introduce them to the wider universe that awaited.

At that moment, Feng Jun, with a puzzled expression, couldn’t resist asking, “Dao Palace realm!?

What realm is that?” This time, it wasn’t just the senior members who were eager to grasp this new information, but also the disciples behind Jiang Chen, like Duan Ziming, Xia Ding, and Nie Wei, who all listened intently, curious about this realm they had never heard of before.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen didn’t leave them hanging for long.

He clarified, “To put it in context, if the Heavenly Origin realm, which appears legendary to us, marks the ultimate major realm of the First Step on the Cultivation Path, then the Dao Palace realm represents the peak of the Second Step.

Between these two realms, there is…” With this, Jiang Chen went on to share the knowledge he had gained, not just with explanations but also by taking out some of the jade slips that contained the cultivation methods left by the creator of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm he had obtained, aiming to broaden their perspectives.

Before long, Jiang Chen concluded his presentation, wearing an amused smile as he noticed the members of the Starry Abyss Sect deep in thought.

At first, their faces lit up with awe and longing, enchanted by the prospects he had presented.

But as they absorbed the implications, their expressions turned to sorrow and helplessness.

It hit them hard: how could they aim for such grand ambitions when they were missing the fundamental cultivation resources necessary to reach the Heavenly Origin realm?

With a sigh, Sect Master Feng Jun turned to Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with admiration and an undeniable touch of envy.

“Jiang Chen, you are truly blessed by the heavens to have reached the Heavenly Origin realm at such a young age of twenty!” “Without a doubt,” Grand Elder Yu Wenyao chimed in, his face lighting up with a wide smile, “he is the most remarkable talent the Mysterious Truth Continent has ever seen.

The Starry Abyss Sect is incredibly lucky to have someone of his exceptional ability among us!” The rest of the senior members of the Starry Abyss Sect were caught up in the enthusiasm as well, showering Jiang Chen with accolades and acknowledging his unmatched potential.

Just then, Feng Jun raised his hand, calling for quiet, and spoke with a seriousness that demanded everyone’s focus, “Jiang Chen, now that you’ve advanced to the Heavenly Origin realm, it’s only appropriate that I step down as Sect Master!” Indeed, he was ready to resign his position as Sect Master on the spot.

From Feng Jun’s viewpoint, placing Jiang Chen in charge of the Starry Abyss Sect would inevitably lead to extraordinary growth and progress in a brief period.

Under Jiang Chen’s guidance, not only would the Mysterious Truth Continent witness the ascent of the Starry Abyss Sect, but its influence would also spread to the Snowy Wind Continent, the Bright Cloud Continent, and beyond.

Eventually, these regions too would acknowledge and yield to the powerful stature of the Starry Abyss Sect.

Therefore, after Feng Jun verified that there were no uncertainties about Jiang Chen’s identity, he made a firm decision to resign as sect master, endorsing Jiang Chen as the next in line.

Far from surprising the other senior members, Feng Jun’s choice actually received enthusiastic nods of approval.

Expressions of agreement and backing quickly followed, resonating among those gathered.

In an impressively brief timeframe, the concept of Jiang Chen assuming the role of sect master for the Starry Abyss Sect turned into a widely anticipated and endorsed move.

Power certainly came with its advantages, enabling one to quickly assume control of a powerful group and amass a wide network of followers and informants.

However, Jiang Chen had no interest in becoming the visible leader of the Starry Abyss Sect as its sect master.

He favored operating from the shadows, directing affairs without attracting unnecessary attention to himself.

Moreover, after observing the envious looks from other major sects towards the Heavenly Origin realm, Jiang Chen’s aspirations expanded.

He wondered why he should settle for just a part when he could have it all for himself.

Although his next moves might appear minor in the larger narrative of the third protagonist’s plot, they were crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of his family, in case he needed to depart from this domain on his own.

Thus, with a discreet smile, Jiang Chen diplomatically replied, “I’m grateful for your confidence, but let’s address these issues later.” Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s noncommittal answer, Sect Master Feng Jun and the other senior members experienced a moment of letdown.

Yet, they concealed their emotions, keeping their poise.

Feng Jun responded with a strained smile, “As you wish, we can discuss it another time.” It became apparent to him that Jiang Chen had different intentions.
