Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Summoned by the Sect Chapter 59: Summoned by the Sect The Wind Void Steps Manual, a Heavenly Origin-level lightness skill, allows those who master it to significantly improve their speed and agility.

This includes enhanced control of their physical body during aerial maneuvers.

While cultivators in the Spiritual Awakening realm have the capability to fly by controlling their bodies, many prefer to stay close to the ground.

This choice is due to the high consumption of Origin Power required for flight.

For cultivators at the Mysterious Platform realm, using flight as a means of travel is more feasible.

They can continuously fly in the sky while managing their Origin Power consumption effectively.

In combat situations, these cultivators find it more advantageous to utilize their fighting skills on the ground.

“Let’s get started,” Jiang Chen said, taking a deep breath to focus his thoughts.

He then opened the purple manual.

As he lifted the cover, Jiang Chen noticed that not only was the cover purple, but the pages inside were as well.

They were beautifully decorated with detailed golden text, patterns, and diagrams depicting the human body.

The golden text was especially prominent.

To effectively read the manual, he needed to engage his divine sense.

Activating his divine sense, Jiang Chen carefully examined each page, committing the contents to memory with great precision.

Mastering Heavenly Origin-level cultivation methods is exceptionally challenging.

Ordinary cultivators would find themselves completely baffled and unable to understand these methods, much less learn from them.

Yet, Jiang Chen’s aptitude had evolved to Top Grade, marking him as a once-in-a-millennium prodigy in the Starry Abyss Sect.

This exceptional aptitude enabled him to learn at an astonishingly rapid pace.

After his first read-through of the Wind Void Steps Manual, Jiang Chen had already gained a basic understanding of it.

On his second reading, he deepened his comprehension significantly.

By the third review, he had essentially mastered the theoretical aspects of the manual.

…

Time seemed to move at a relaxed pace, and before he knew it, another month had slipped away.

In the martial skill training chamber, Jiang Chen thought to himself, ‘Ride the Wind!’ With that, he released his Origin Power, creating swirling currents of Qi around him.

His body floated up, as light and effortless as a willow seed drifting on the breeze.

In just a moment, he became a blur, an afterimage, leaving eighteen footprints on each adjacent wall in an instant.

‘Even at the Entry-level, my speed has increased dramatically,’ Jiang Chen reflected, landing softly on the ground and sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

He then gently lifted his right hand, releasing a powerful burst of cold Qi.

The walls of the training chamber quickly became covered in frost, a clear display of the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art.

During the past month, Jiang Chen had been diligently practicing not only the Wind Void Steps Manual but also focusing on mastering the ice-element secret art, the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art.

His dedication paid off as he quickly advanced in the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art, bringing it to the Great Accomplishment-level.

He was now just a step away from reaching the Perfect-level.

Cultivation methods are typically categorized into four stages of mastery: Entry-level, Minor Accomplishment-level, Great Accomplishment-level, and Perfect-level.

Jiang Chen had already brought several of his cultivation methods, including the Void Rainbow Sword Technique, Clear Sky Flash, and Violent Tiger Power, to the Perfect-level.

However, it’s worth noting that for the Void Rainbow Sword Technique, core disciples were only permitted to learn up to the sixth sword style.

In contrast, inner disciples like Lin Feng were limited to the third sword style.

Within the Starry Abyss Sect, access to the final three sword styles of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique was a privilege reserved for those who either achieved the status of a true disciple or had made significant contributions to the sect over many years.

At this point, having diligently practiced both the Wind Void Steps Manual and the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art, Jiang Chen reviewed his progress with a sense of satisfaction and then checked his character panel.

Villain Value: 12,200 points Black Heavenly Fate Value: 5,880 Heaven-Defying Fate Changers: Villain Eye, Burning World Red Lotus, Eternal Vows Binding Ring System Store: Level 1] ‘My battle power has now reached the Peak-stage of the Mysterious Platform realm,’ Jiang Chen mused with a sense of accomplishment, ‘I’m just one step away from ascending to the Heavenly Origin realm.’ ‘I need to continue refining the Wind Void Steps Manual and the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art.

Both must be brought to the Perfect-level!’ Determined, he stood up, deciding it was time to visit Ning Xian.

Jiang Chen left the martial skill practice room, heading towards Ning Xian’s residence.

However, as soon as he stepped out the door, a buzzing sound caught his attention €“ it was his transmission jade token vibrating.

‘Hm?

Could this be related to the Illusory Slaying Tower?’ Jiang Chen wondered, his brow furrowing slightly.

He infused his divine sense into the transmission jade token to read the message: “Jiang Chen, it has been quite some time since you descended from the Starry Abyss Heavenly Peak.

You should return to the sect and focus on your cultivation.

Moreover, as no one challenged your standing in the sect’s grand competition, you retain your core disciple status.

Additionally, the Sect Master is set to make a significant announcement tomorrow.

We don’t have all the details yet, but one thing is certain: it concerns not just the Mysterious Truth Continent but also neighboring continents.” The message turned out to be a recall directive from the sect’s Deacon Hall, not related to the Illusory Slaying Tower.

‘The sect is calling me back??’ Jiang Chen pondered, ‘Well, I have been away for almost two months now.

It’s time to return.’ ‘It’s unexpected that no one challenged my core disciple position.

Maybe it’s just good luck?

After all, I have accumulated nearly six thousand Black Heavenly Fate Value points.

Even though it’s ‘black’, it’s still Heavenly Fate Value,’ he mused with a smile, continuing his walk towards Ning Xian’s residence.

Before long, Jiang Chen and Ning Xian were sitting opposite each other under the familiar pavilion.

Having devoted time to study, Jiang Chen had fully understood the theoretical aspects of the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records.

What he needed next was practical experience in alchemy.

Upon concluding their studies, Jiang Chen carefully put away the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records and said, “Xian’er, the sect has summoned me.

I plan to take you with me.” “Ah!?” Ning Xian gasped, astonished.

“Are you returning to the Starry Abyss Sect?” “That’s right,” Jiang Chen confirmed.

“While I have everything under control, I can’t just leave you here in Autumn Glory City without any concerns.” “As one of the dominant powers in the Mysterious Truth Continent, the Starry Abyss Sect won’t allow the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain to make any reckless moves within its territory.

Especially regarding the Illusory Slaying Tower, they wouldn’t dare approach it.” “You can ask Alchemist Qiu if she wants to join us,” he suggested, then added thoughtfully, “Moreover, being in the Starry Abyss Sect would be more beneficial for your cultivation journey.” Ning Xian’s expression of astonishment quickly turned into one of delight, clearly moved by Jiang Chen’s thoughtfulness.

She asked hesitantly, “But, am I allowed to enter the Starry Abyss Sect?” “With me here, there will be no issues,” Jiang Chen reassured her confidently.

He then took Ning Xian’s hand gently and encouraged, “Go pack your belongings; we need to leave right away.” After Ning Xian hurried off to speak with her master and gather her things, Jiang Chen took the opportunity to inform Jiang Xingtai and the others about his plans to return to the Starry Abyss Sect.

“What?” Jiang Xingtai exclaimed in surprise, “Chen’er is already heading back to the Starry Abyss Sect?

But he hasn’t been here long!” “Sigh, time truly does fly,” Zhou Ruiyu remarked with a hint of melancholy, “Nephew Jiang Chen is departing for the Starry Abyss Sect.

When you’re cultivating in the Starry Abyss Heavenly Peak, time just seems to disappear, and who knows when we’ll see him again.” The two were together when they received Jiang Chen’s message, and they couldn’t help but feel a twinge of reluctance at his impending departure.

“Let’s go; we should bid him farewell,” Jiang Xingtai decided firmly.

Without delay, the duo made their way to see Jiang Chen off.

At the same moment, within the temporary base of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, Du Bailei, who had also received the news, muttered to himself, “Young friend Jiang Chen is returning to the Starry Abyss Sect?

I must go and see him off.” Standing up from his seat, he turned to an attendant and instructed, “Go and gather all the treasures of the Chamber of Commerce and bring them to me.” “Yes, sir,” the attendant responded promptly and left to carry out the task.
