Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 221

Chapter 221: The Continent’s Hope Chapter 221: The Continent’s Hope As Mo Yu’s words hung in the air, every elder in the hall turned their eyes toward Jiang Chen.

At only twenty years old, Jiang Chen had already begun to comprehend the Sword Dao, wielding the combat power of a Dao Comprehension realm cultivator.

Such talent was unparalleled across the Immortal Martial Continent-without equal under the heavens.

Watching events unfold, Jiang Chen felt a quiet amusement.

He knew all too well why things were moving in his favor.

Fang Yuan’s fall meant that many opportunities once destined for the protagonist had now become his to claim.

This was, indeed, an unexpected reward for taking down the protagonist.

“During the gathering of the three major forces, we should propose this plan,” Li Shang added.

“The Imperial Extreme Heavenly Palace, the Jade Lake Heavenly Temple, and the other factions should channel their resources into Holy Son Jiang Chen’s cultivation!” “But will they agree?” Liu Mei questioned skeptically.

“They have their own promising talents to nurture.

I doubt they’d be willing to part with their resources so easily.” “If they refuse,” Ji Mingxiu replied, his eyes hardening, “they will regret it when the demons breach their defenses and destroy everything they’ve built.” “Exactly!” Han Xu agreed.

“Those unwilling to support Holy Son Jiang Chen cannot expect our protection.

If they face disaster, they will have only themselves to blame-or they’ll find that our help comes at a higher cost.” Mo Yu, his expression grim, added, “Talking about protection is premature.

Our immediate concern is accelerating Jiang Chen’s cultivation.” “If we can’t elevate our Holy Son to become a Third Step powerhouse, any future discussions may be pointless.

The Immortal Martial Continent would already have fallen,” he finished, the weight of his words settling heavily in the hall.

All eyes rested on Jiang Chen, filled with hope and expectation.

“I promise to give my all to my cultivation,” Jiang Chen said with firm resolve.

“Whether those sects choose to help us or not, my commitment will not falter.” “That’s the spirit, Jiang Chen!” Ji Mingxiu exclaimed, handing him a storage ring.

“These are the high-grade spiritual plants you requested.

We were able to gather even more than expected.

Seek the guidance of the two Void Tribulation realm powerhouses.

With their mentorship, your progress will surely accelerate.” “Thank you, Master.” Jiang Chen bowed slightly in gratitude before explaining further.

“In fact, the two seniors need these spiritual plants to support my cultivation, not for their own use.

Moreover, I’ve gained the ability to communicate with them across space.

I can even send items directly to them, so there’s no need for me to seek them out in person.” Ji Mingxiu’s eyes lit up.

“That’s a tremendous advantage!

Traveling is fraught with dangers, and even with our protection, there are limits.

If you can communicate and transfer items through the void, it reduces many of those risks.” The group exchanged smiles of satisfaction at this news.

Jiang Chen’s claim was accepted without question.

After all, given the power of Void Tribulation realm cultivators, no matter how extraordinary something seemed, it was always within the realm of possibility in their eyes.

Ji Mingxiu then announced, “Our next course of action is to purge the demonic beasts!” “There may be Dao Palace realm demons among the ranks of the Demon Race.

With their numbers unknown, it wouldn’t be wise for all of us to leave.

Someone must stay behind to defend the Holy Land.

Who will step up?” he asked, his gaze sweeping across the elders.

“I will remain to protect it,” Mo Yu offered, his resolve clear.

“If our Holy Land is attacked by multiple Dao Palace realm demons, I will wield the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword to hold them off.” The Purple Heaven Immortal Sword was no ordinary weapon.

Revered as the ultimate defense of the Purple Heaven Holy Land, it was an incomplete Transcendence-rank immortal sword.

However, drawing upon its immense power came at a steep price, especially for those without a strong cultivation base.

Even a Dao Palace realm great powerhouse risked their life when wielding it.

As the eldest of the five Dao Palace realm cultivators in the Purple Heaven Holy Land, Mo Yu stood at a critical point in his life, constantly aware of the looming shadow of death.

Yet, fully understanding the danger, he stepped forward without hesitation to accept this crucial responsibility.

“Supreme Elder Mo will handle this,” Ji Mingxiu said with finality.

In this world, sentiment rarely overruled logic, and the gathered elders, recognizing the wisdom of the decision, nodded in silent agreement.

“Move out!

The Purple Heaven Holy Land is secure under my protection,” Mo Yu declared, turning and making his way deeper into the Purple Heaven Grand Hall, where the revered Purple Heaven Immortal Sword lay in its guarded resting place.

Ji Mingxiu then faced Jiang Chen and offered his advice.

“It would be best for you to stay here and focus on healing those affected by the Demonic Spiritual Qi within our territory.” Jiang Chen met his Master’s gaze, understanding this was his way of keeping him safe.

Without arguing, he nodded in agreement.

“Let’s move!” Ji Mingxiu said with a brief smile before he, Li Shang, Han Xu, and Liu Mei flew purposefully toward the exit of the Holy Land.

Turning to Ji Ruxue, Jiang Chen said, “Ruxue, we should help as well.

Many cultivators are relying on us.” Taking her hand, he led her out of the Purple Heaven Grand Hall and toward the main square of the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

When they reached the square, they were met with the sight of numerous cultivators from the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Many had recently been afflicted by the Demonic Spiritual Qi and were in urgent need of treatment.

Elder Geng Tian, renowned for his vast cultivation knowledge, stood at the forefront of the healing efforts.

As a Dao Comprehension realm cultivator, his talent for enlightenment was unmatched in the Purple Heaven Holy Land, even surpassing Ji Mingxiu in certain areas.

His mastery of various cultivation techniques was widely recognized.

Although the Demonic Qi Extraction Art had only been recently introduced, Geng Tian, with his advanced cultivation and profound understanding, had already grasped its basics.

However, his knowledge of the technique was still in its early stages.

The moment Geng Tian saw Jiang Chen, a wave of relief washed over him.

Around them, the recovering cultivators, now clear-headed, stirred with excitement at the sight of Jiang Chen.

“The Honorable Holy Son has arrived!” someone called out.

“With the Holy Son here, we’ll be safe!” “I owe my life to the Holy Son from our last encounter.

Now, after being struck by the Demonic Spiritual Qi again, I pray for his aid once more.” A murmur of hopeful voices filled the square.

Amused by the warm reception, Jiang Chen chuckled softly.

Without delay, he stepped down from his elevated position and immediately began applying the Demonic Qi Extraction Art to help those in need.
