Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Trials of the Subterranean Ruins Chapter 95: Trials of the Subterranean Ruins Meanwhile, not too far from the swamp, in an area even deeper underground, a large group of people gathered in a huge underground plaza.

Just as Jiang Chen had guessed, these people were indeed disciples from the Starry Abyss Sect, the Floating Spirit Sect, the Ice Heart School, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, and the Azure Jade Sect.

At this point, the circumstances for the disciples from all five major sects were far from perfect.

The Starry Abyss Sect and the Floating Spirit Sect had managed to maintain their strength the best.

However, each sect only had about fifteen members left.

Duan Ziming, Mu Tao, and the true disciples from both sects were among those who remained.

The chief disciples of the Ice Heart School, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, and the Azure Jade Sect had survived as well, but all their true disciples were missing, leaving only a few core disciples with them.

The situation was particularly severe for the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, with only six disciples left.

The Azure Jade Sect had only eight survivors.

As a result, similar to the other fallen disciples in the cave mansion with the mysterious giant egg, they felt the need to band together once again in a temporary alliance.

Currently, everyone was standing in an underground square, surrounded by the lifeless bodies of blood-colored humanoid monsters.

The monsters’ corpses were bleeding heavily, their blood creating eerie patterns across the cracks in the square’s stone floor.

Straight ahead of the square, the previously completely sealed, massive iron wall had been lifted to the height of a person, revealing an unusually wide passageway.

“Finally, a passage has opened up!” exclaimed a disciple from the Azure Jade Sect, his voice filled with clear excitement.

“If a passage hadn’t appeared soon, I was close to losing hope!” “Idiot, the passage only shows itself after we’ve taken care of all these monsters!” Xu Yuan, the chief disciple of the Azure Jade Sect, replied sharply.

“This underground relic we’ve discovered is clearly an inheritance ground full of trials!” Hearing this, Duan Ziming, who was intensely focused on the passageway ahead, his eyes sparkling with eagerness, said, “Above ground in the outside world, Heavenly Origin-level spiritual plants are everywhere.

I can’t wait to see what great opportunities this underground relic holds!” “Hmph!

Opportunities might arise, but it’s still up in the air who will grab them!” Deng Jianying, the chief disciple of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, responded coldly.

Even though he had only a small group of five disciples with him, by teaming up with the Azure Jade Sect, the combined strength of the two chief disciples became a powerful force.

Any gains could be shared equally or divided based on contribution.

However, Xia Ding, a true disciple from the Starry Abyss Sect, found these boastful words amusing and burst into laughter, “Hahaha!” He then mocked Deng Jianying, “Really?

How about we take you down right here and then go find those opportunities ourselves?” His eyes were filled with disdain.

Mu Tao, the chief disciple of the Floating Spirit Sect, also gave Deng Jianying a cold look.

“Looking for a fight?

I’m ready anytime!” Xu Yuan declared boldly.

“We still don’t know what dangers await us ahead.

We have nothing to lose.” Seeing the situation on the verge of escalating, Miao Xiaorui, the chief disciple of the Ice Heart School, stepped in.

“Enough!

We’ll determine who’s the victor when the ultimate treasure shows itself,” she said, diffusing the tension with her calm words.

After making her point, she elegantly signaled the ten disciples with her to begin the solemn task of collecting their fallen comrades and addressing the aftermath with the humanoid monsters’ remains.

Regarding the distribution of loot, they stuck to the contribution-based system suggested by Jiang Chen.

Quickly, they had respectfully collected the bodies of their comrades, and the monsters’ inner cores were fairly shared among them.

Then, they all moved towards the grand passage-a square tunnel standing three meters tall and stretching out dozens of meters wide.

“Let’s scout the path ahead first,” Duan Ziming suggested, taking a deep breath as he spoke.

The rest of the group shared expressions of equal seriousness.

Since discovering this underground passage, they had faced many dangers along the way.

Traveling through this tunnel was likely to be no simple task.

Immediately, they started employing different methods to test the path ahead.

These methods ranged from throwing the bodies of defeated monsters into the tunnel to using spells for reconnaissance and attack, among other tactics.

…

Unknown to the group below, Ye Fan had silently made his way into a unique room above them.

This room was strikingly empty, marked only by a closed door on each of its three other walls.

Every door featured a series of engravings that together created a very distinctive pattern.

“Hmm?

These are,” Ye Fan quietly said to himself, “symbols for cultivation methods, but they’re all mixed up!” “It looks like you need to put these symbols in the right order to open the door.

Hehe, decoding cultivation methods is something I’m really good at!” he concluded, struggling to hide his excitement.

Up to now, Ye Fan had mastered numerous cultivation methods, including several of the Heavenly Origin rank, all of which he had refined to the Perfect-level.

When it came to grasping cultivation methods, even seasoned experts at the Heavenly Origin realm couldn’t match him.

Moreover, he had the priceless support of the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

While the Wordless Heavenly Jade contained only a small amount of energy, it still maintained its core functions, enough to somewhat speed up his training in combat skills.

With this perspective, the three formidable doors in front of Ye Fan transformed from obstacles into alluring opportunities, tantalizingly within reach.

Perhaps unlocking just one of the doors was necessary to move forward, but Ye Fan had already resolved to conquer all three doors before proceeding.

“Well, let’s get started,” Ye Fan said to himself, “I suspect the recent commotion in the swamp was caused by someone triggering a mechanism, indicating there are others in these underground ruins.” Instantly, with the Wordless Heavenly Jade intertwined in his left palm by numerous blood-red threads, his expression turned enigmatic as he began to decipher the cultivation method inscribed on the left door.

…

As Ye Fan was completely absorbed in piecing together the cultivation method, he was unaware that Jiang Chen was once again observing him closely!

From the shadows of a distant corridor, Jiang Chen was maximizing the stealth capabilities of the Moondust Ring.

Additionally, using the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade to enhance his divine sense, he continuously monitored Ye Fan.

Indeed, Jiang Chen had managed to enter the underground ruins through the swamp.

Despite the stone slab mechanism being ten meters thick, it was no match for the power of his Heavenly Origin-level weapon, the Shadowblade Sword.

After making his way into the underground ruins, Jiang Chen took the additional step of resealing the entrance behind him.

Currently, observing the room where Ye Fan was, Jiang Chen could only shake his head in quiet astonishment.

‘Hmph, Heavenly Fate really does favor its chosen one!’ he thought with a hint of sarcasm.

‘Even his challenges seem perfectly suited for him.’ Jiang Chen also predicted that the cultivation methods etched on each of these three doors weren’t random but served a particular purpose.

He believed that at least one of them was likely to address one of Ye Fan’s weaknesses, potentially making it easier for Ye Fan to slip away from Jiang Chen’s grasp.

‘Well, I have a guess about what type of cultivation method this guy is piecing together, but let’s wait and see if I’m right,’ Jiang Chen thought to himself, a spark of anticipation lighting up his eyes as he kept watching Ye Fan swiftly reconstruct the cultivation method on the stone door.

…

In just a short time, with the help of the Wordless Heavenly Jade and bolstered by his extensive knowledge, Ye Fan managed to restore the cultivation method on the left door.

Then, a quiet rumble came from the door as it started to slowly open, revealing the dark passage hidden behind it.

Despite using his divine sense, Ye Fan couldn’t make out what was beyond the passage.

So, his attention was firmly fixed on the door in front of him.

“Dormant Spirit Stirring Divine Art!” Ye Fan whispered to himself as he started to read the introduction of the cultivation method written on the door.

Quickly, he discovered that this was a secret art of the Heavenly Origin rank, aimed specifically at enhancing divine sense.

By mastering it, his divine sense would be sharpened, significantly increasing both its strength and detection abilities.

Moreover, it would allow him to avoid being monitored or followed to the greatest extent possible.

“This is amazing; it’s exactly what I desperately need,” Ye Fan exclaimed quietly, filled with happiness as he memorized the Dormant Spirit Stirring Divine Art.

But his excitement quickly turned to disappointment when he realized, ‘Unfortunately, the energy reserves of the Wordless Heavenly Jade are too low right now.

With my current condition, it’ll take at least eight days to reach the Entry-level.’ Frustration welled up in him as he thought of the person responsible for his current situation.

“Whew~” Taking a deep breath to regain his composure, Ye Fan said to himself, “No problem, I’ll put this aside for the moment and concentrate on the two other doors!” With that, he began working on deciphering the cultivation method of the middle door.
