Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Standing Before the Holy Lord Chapter 126: Standing Before the Holy Lord As he moved through the passageway, shielded by multiple array formations, Jiang Chen carefully kept his divine sense in check, knowing he was nearing the private quarters of the Purple Heaven Holy Lord.

His path took him past magnificent palaces and lofty pagodas until he reached a jade platform situated on a cliff’s edge.

There, a simple yet elegant pavilion housed a middle-aged man and a young woman, sitting opposite each other.

The middle-aged man, his hair and beard a distinguished silver, radiated wisdom.

His expression was as calm as a still lake, mirrored in his peaceful eyes.

Dressed in black robes adorned with a purple emblem representing the Holy Land, he presented an imposing figure.

However, Jiang Chen was intrigued by the man’s almost undetectable aura, finding it a curious anomaly.

Unlike the man, the young woman sitting opposite him presented a stark contrast.

She was in the Early-stage of the Heavenly Origin realm, a fact that was quite surprising.

Her silver-white hair, which fell like a frosty waterfall, beautifully framed her flawless, snow-like complexion.

Her icy blue eyes sparkled with a cool elegance and a serene dignity that was both enchanting and distant.

Dressed in an elegant robe of royal purple, she exuded a refined aura.

Despite her cultivation base appearing somewhat shaky, as if she had just made a breakthrough, it clearly showcased her exceptional talent.

‘The man must be the Purple Heaven Holy Lord,’ Jiang Chen concluded silently.

Furthermore, noticing a resemblance between the young woman and the Holy Lord, especially in her striking beauty that paralleled his own Xian’er, Jiang Chen speculated, ‘Could she be…’ With this thought, he discreetly engaged the power of his Villain Eye on the pair.

In an instant, two panels of information appeared before him.

[Name: Ji Mingxiu Realm: Late-stage Dao Palace Status: Supporting character Fate Value: 1368] Upon examining the information panel for the Purple Heaven Holy Lord, Jiang Chen felt a surge of awe.

He hadn’t anticipated that this Ji Mingxiu would be such a formidable powerhouse, positioned in the Late-stage of the Dao Palace realm!

He then turned his focus to the information panel concerning the striking young woman.

[Name: Ji Ruxue Realm: Early-stage Heavenly Origin Status: Heroine (Unpursued) Intimacy: 11 (Curious) Fate Value: 8425] ‘Bingo!

This Ji Ruxue is truly a heroine,’ Jiang Chen thought to himself, pleasantly surprised.

It had never crossed his mind that he would meet the heroine before encountering the protagonist.

Also, realizing she was still unpursued, he mused, ‘It seems the protagonist is familiar with Ji Ruxue, yet he hasn’t won her heart…’ Various theories danced through Jiang Chen’s mind.

However, on the outside, he kept his composure, ensuring he showed the proper respect.

In that moment, a melodious voice, soothing like a gently flowing stream, filled the surroundings.

It was Ji Ruxue saying, “Father, Jiang Chen from the Starry Abyss Sect has arrived.” “Oh, Jiang Chen is here already?” Ji Mingxiu said, a smile lighting up his face as he looked toward Jiang Chen.

“Come closer, let me have a good look at you,” he invited warmly, his eyes radiating kindness, lacking any hint of the imposing presence one might anticipate from a Holy Lord.

Indeed, Ji Mingxiu’s gaze upon Jiang Chen was tinged with admiration.

Ji Ruxue, positioned across from her father, had been watching Jiang Chen with intense curiosity from the moment she first saw him.

Ji Mingxiu wasn’t known to easily display warmth or admiration.

Yet, in this moment, he openly expressed both towards Jiang Chen, an occurrence that was seldom witnessed.

“Yes, Holy Lord!” Jiang Chen replied, showing the proper respect with a traditional fist and palm salute before cautiously stepping onto the jade platform.

As Jiang Chen drew nearer, Ji Mingxiu’s eyes sparkled, and he exclaimed, “Incredible!

Absolutely incredible!

To attain the Late-stage of the Heavenly Origin realm at just twenty, especially in a region like the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain, your talent undoubtedly places you among the elite of this world!” While expressing his approval, Ji Mingxiu offered a spherical object, saying, “This is an artifact made to assess a person’s potential for cultivation.

Test yourself with it, and let me see the level of your aptitude!” With that, he reached out, presenting the spherical artifact to Jiang Chen.

Ji Ruxue’s gaze also settled on Jiang Chen, her interest piqued, keen to measure the extent of his remarkable aptitude.

After all, her reputation was significant; Ji Ruxue was celebrated as the supreme prodigy of the Purple Heaven Holy Land in a millennium.

By the young age of eighteen, driven by sheer willpower, she had reached the Heavenly Origin realm, with minimal dependence on pills.

Her cultivation base was robust, setting her apart from other so-called prodigies whose advancements were heavily pill-induced.

Of course, Ji Ruxue was also aware of Jiang Chen’s clash with Rong Liangcai in the Deacon Hall for handymen, acknowledging Jiang Chen’s true prowess.

This recognition sparked a hint of competitive zeal in her.

In that instant, Jiang Chen grasped the artifact, yet he was uncertain about its operation.

Noticing this, Ji Mingxiu chuckled at himself and admitted, “Look at me, getting ahead of myself and forgetting to explain its use.” “Just prick your finger, let a drop of your blood fall onto the artifact, and then channel your Origin Power and divine sense into it,” he instructed kindly.

“Understood!” Jiang Chen acknowledged, quickly following the given directions.

The moment he did, a brilliant purple-red light erupted from the spherical artifact.

As this radiant light grew stronger by the second, Ji Mingxiu nodded, pleased, as this was within his expectations.

However, just as he was about to speak, he abruptly stood, his eyes widening in shock.

The purple-red light, having peaked in intensity, shifted to a soft golden-red before ceasing entirely.

“This…

this signifies Perfect Grade aptitude!” Ji Mingxiu burst out, his disbelief palpable at the sight before him.

Then, his disbelief quickly transformed into overwhelming joy, and he threw his head back, laughing heartily.

“Hahaha, magnificent, absolutely magnificent!

To think I would see a prodigious talent with Perfect Grade aptitude in my lifetime!

The Heavens have truly blessed my Purple Heaven Holy Land.” His voice was thick with unbridled enthusiasm.

Ji Ruxue, standing to the side, was equally taken aback.

Her eyes, wide with sheer disbelief, were fixed on Jiang Chen.

Whispering to herself, she remarked, “A Perfect Grade aptitude?!

He’s exceeded even my own, which is an advanced Top Grade!” Quickly, a sense of admiration welled up inside her, mingled with profound joy.

Unlike what some might assume, Ji Ruxue felt no jealousy towards Jiang Chen.

Her character and upbringing had prevented any feelings of envy from taking root, allowing only genuine joy to flourish.

Indeed, as Ji Mingxiu had declared, the emergence of a prodigy such as Jiang Chen was undeniably a blessing for the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Seeing the potential for the Holy Land’s thriving future naturally filled her with a deep sense of happiness.

“A Perfect Grade aptitude, huh!

That explains why my cultivation journey has felt smoother than what’s typical for a Top Grade,” Jiang Chen pretended to be caught off guard, murmuring as if in surprise.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s quiet remarks, Ji Mingxiu, having calmed his initial excitement, began to stroke his beard proudly.

“Understandably so, my artifact for gauging aptitude is without parallel.

The devices used in the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain probably only measure up to the Top Grade.” Looking directly at Jiang Chen, he then proclaimed, “Jiang Chen, with your beginnings in the Starry Abyss sect, you are inherently linked to our Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Now, you’ve come back to where you belong.

From this moment forward, you are a true disciple of our Purple Heaven Holy Land!” “Thank you, Holy Lord, for welcoming me into the sect,” Jiang Chen replied with gratitude, performing a respectful gesture before continuing sincerely, “I, Jiang Chen, vow to devote myself to cultivation, to improve my strength, and to always be prepared to defend the Purple Heaven Holy Land!” “Wonderful!

Your willingness to defend the Purple Heaven Holy Land is truly heartening!” Ji Mingxiu exclaimed, his eyes shining with approval.

“Now,” he went on, “I must ask, are you willing to become my disciple and learn directly from me, Ji Mingxiu?” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS AlphaWIA Creation is hard, cheer me up!
