Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Breakthrough to the Late-Stage Inquiring Journey Realm Chapter 227: Breakthrough to the Late-Stage Inquiring Journey Realm In the meditation chamber, where the air was thick with Spiritual Qi, Jiang Chen sat quietly on a woven mat, pulling a storage ring from inside his robes.

The ring contained the precious spiritual plants that the cultivators from the Purple Heaven Holy Land had gathered with great effort.

As Jiang Chen swept his divine sense over its contents, he saw two Dao Palace-rank spiritual plants and an impressive collection of sixty Dao Comprehension-rank ones.

Even though there was one less Dao Palace-rank plant than before, a small smile appeared on his face-he couldn’t hide his satisfaction.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t immediately dive into his usual cultivation.

Things were different now-he wasn’t alone anymore.

The souls of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning were with him, dwelling in the Void Tribulation Soulring, always by his side.

Knowing the incredible steps he was about to take, Jiang Chen decided it was time to share important details about his most powerful treasures with them.

Calmly, he explained the Heaven-Defying Fate Changers he possessed: the Burning World Red Lotus and the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

He went over their extraordinary powers, making sure Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning fully understood how significant they were.

With this knowledge, they would be better prepared to help him in the trials ahead.

Once that was settled, and under the amazed, eager eyes of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, Jiang Chen didn’t waste any time.

Without hesitation, he began consuming the spiritual plants, one by one.

Their powerful medicinal energy surged through him, flowing straight into his Dantian, feeding the Burning World Red Lotus.

In just a few moments, another petal of the lotus bloomed, glowing with fresh vitality.

As the Burning World Red Lotus revived, it released a massive surge of power that rushed through Jiang Chen’s entire body, boosting his cultivation.

Every part of him-his bones, muscles, vital organs, Dantian, and meridians-was strengthened, filled with this overwhelming energy.

Even his soul experienced a profound transformation.

When the lotus fully absorbed the essence of the spiritual plants, Jiang Chen’s cultivation soared, bringing him to the peak of the Middle-stage Inquiring Journey realm, right on the brink of the Late-stage.

‘The next breakthrough is near!’ Excitement lit up Jiang Chen’s eyes as he reached into his storage ring for a breakthrough pill.

While the Purple Heaven Holy Land didn’t have many Dao Palace-rank pills, they had plenty of pills for cultivators in the Dao Comprehension and Inquiring Journey realms.

For now, Jiang Chen didn’t see the need to use his System to trade for breakthrough pills-not until he reached the Dao Palace realm.

With a determined motion, Jiang Chen swallowed the pill.

Instantly, a powerful surge exploded within him, like a raging flood breaking free.

The pill’s potent energy rushed through his veins, filling every part of his body.

In the moments that followed, his Dao Core began an incredible transformation, glowing like the rising sun.

It absorbed the powerful surge of energy, converting it into a limitless flow of Dao Origin Power.

This power grew stronger, spreading through Jiang Chen’s body as his Dao Core glowed even brighter.

The core and Dao Origin Power evolved together, creating a constant cycle of growth and improvement.

As he cycled through these phases of transformation, Jiang Chen effortlessly broke through to the Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm!

Inside his Dantian, the Dao Core now glowed like a blazing sun, while his meridians pulsed with the overwhelming flow of Dao Origin Power, signaling his newfound strength.

Both his soul and body had undergone major strengthening, benefiting from this powerful advancement.

With his cultivation greatly enhanced, the martial techniques and secret arts Jiang Chen had been practicing began to reveal their deeper, hidden potential.

The Burning World Red Lotus surged with new vitality, its World Burning Raging Flames becoming even more refined and powerful.

Most notably, his Death Calamity True Dragon bloodline resonated with an even deeper force.

Though this powerful bloodline remained one of his secret weapons, Jiang Chen had not yet revealed its full potential!

Meanwhile, Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning watched in awe, their amazement turning into pure joy.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s quick breakthrough, they knew his rising strength also brought them closer to reclaiming their own powers.

With a focused thought, Jiang Chen commanded, ‘System, show me my panel!’ In an instant, his attribute panel appeared before him.

‘There’s still a vast amount of untapped qi and blood energy, along with countless cultivation methods I haven’t yet explored.’ As these thoughts crossed his mind, his gaze naturally shifted to the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

During the first demonic beast tide, Jiang Chen had only used a small portion of his qi and blood energy.

After defeating the second, much larger wave, he had gathered the remains of every fallen beast.

Absorbing their qi and blood had greatly boosted the energy stored in the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

Now, it was filled with enough power to dive into four or five Dao Palace-rank cultivation methods.

A spark of anticipation lit up in Jiang Chen’s eyes as he thought about the ultimate cultivation techniques he had gained from the Purple Heaven Holy Land.

Three powerful methods stood out in his mind: the Purple Feather Misty Steps Skill, the Dark Star Sky Splitting Sword Art, and the Purple Heaven Heavenly Thunder True Canon.

Each of these techniques ranked among the most powerful in the Purple Heaven Holy Land, all at the Dao Palace rank.

Yet, their flexibility made it possible to practice and master them even at the Dao Comprehension realm.

With his qi and blood energy reserves brimming, Jiang Chen decided to master these three methods first.

‘Let’s start with the Purple Feather Misty Steps!’ With just a thought, Jiang Chen’s soul easily connected with the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

In his mind, the deep mysteries of the Purple Feather Misty Steps began to unfold, flowing smoothly into his consciousness.

In just a few moments, he had fully absorbed the technique.

A surge of immense, enlightening energy flooded through Jiang Chen like a dam bursting.

This rapid influx allowed him to master the martial technique at an astonishing speed, reaching the Perfect-level in no time.

He could feel the transformation within himself.

His movements became as light as a feather, fleeting and intangible, like mist fading in and out of existence.

He could disappear in an instant, only to reappear elsewhere, his presence elusive, leaving no trace.

His newfound agility made him remarkably unpredictable.

This technique tapped into the deep essence of the Wind Dao, sharpening Jiang Chen’s understanding and bringing him closer to fully mastering its profound teachings.

Even though Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had braced themselves, the change in Jiang Chen’s aura still left them speechless, overwhelmed by the awe of his new mastery over the Wind Dao.

But Jiang Chen wasn’t affected by their amazement.

Without pausing to test his new skills, he immediately moved on to practicing the Dark Star Sky Splitting Sword Art and the Purple Heaven Heavenly Thunder True Canon.

His approach remained the same.

With the Wordless Heavenly Jade guiding him, he mastered both techniques with ease, perfecting them in an incredibly short time.
