Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 282: The Abundance of Inheritances

Jiang Chen turned to Wu Qian and said, "This Cave Heaven ford naturally."

"Let’s explore. We haven’t found any opportunities yet!" With that, he flew ahead.

"A naturally ford Cave Heaven?" Wu Qian’s expression shifted as he understood.

Do Cave Heavens form naturally? I must admit, I didn’t know that. Holy Son Jiang Chen truly knows so much more than , he thought, quickly following Jiang Chen.

As they traveled, Jiang Chen took out his transmission jade token and tried to contact Liu Xiong. To his relief, the token worked even in this unusual space.

High-quality items really make a difference, Jiang Chen thought.

Cheaper ones failed completely, like in Immortal Tian Cui’s secret realm, he recalled, while sending a ssage to Liu Xiong.

Soon, Jiang Chen learned that Liu Xiong and Gu Ran were in a region filled with red hills. However, Jiang Chen’s divine sense, which extended up to one million kiloters, revealed no red hills nearby.

Are they really that far away? Jiang Chen wondered, frustration growing.

Even with my divine sense, I can’t locate Gu Ran?

Perhaps Heavenly Fate is interfering again, he thought, a bitter smile appearing as unease crept into his mind.

Inside this Cave Heaven, finding directions was a major challenge.

The only way Jiang Chen and Liu Xiong could locate each other was by identifying unique landmarks both could recognize to confirm their positions.

I just hope Liu Xiong doesn’t fall into Gu Ran’s trap, Jiang Chen thought worriedly.

I need to quickly contact Ji Mingxiu and the others for help.

And who knows how many secondary gates there are or how many people might enter through them?

Hopefully, no latecors unintentionally help Gu Ran, he mused as he kept searching for distinctive landmarks while exchanging updates with Liu Xiong.

At the sa ti, Jiang Chen stayed alert, watching his surroundings for hidden opportunities. He hadn’t paid much attention before, but now, as he carefully examined the area, his eyes widened in surprise.

Spread before him was a rich collection of cultivation thod inheritances, left behind by cultivators of the past!

These inheritances were scattered across his divine sense range, lying openly without any protective barriers.

Any cultivator who stumbled upon them could easily claim one.

The inheritances varied in strength—so were suitable for those at the Heavenly Origin realm, while others were powerful enough for cultivators at the Dao Palace realm!

So many opportunities, just lying here as if they’re nothing special! Jiang Chen marveled.

Perhaps this Cave Heaven wasn’t just a secluded residence but also a gathering place for many cultivators in the past.

I should investigate further to uncover its history and see what valuable insights I can find, he decided.

anwhile, Wu Qian was also scanning his surroundings carefully.

However, his divine sense only reached ten thousand kiloters—a range far smaller than Jiang Chen’s, which extended a hundred tis farther.

Because of this, Wu Qian had not yet noticed the opportunities Jiang Chen had already found.

...

In another part of the Cave Heaven, two figures cautiously floated through the air.

They were none other than Gu Ran and Jiang Chen’s subordinate, Liu Xiong.

What is this place? Could it be that I’ve sohow left the Lustrous Yang Domain? Gu Ran wondered, his mind racing with possibilities.

All the while, he kept a wary eye on Liu Xiong, prepared to summon his full strength and escape if needed.

Luckily for Gu Ran, Liu Xiong showed no signs of aggression.

Suddenly, a massive river ca into view.

Its raging waters roared like thunder, carving through the landscape like a colossal dragon.

Near the river, a towering white rock mountain stood out. Its surface was covered with countless tiny golden runes that shimred faintly.

Could that be… a cultivation thod inheritance? Liu Xiong’s heart leaped as he spotted the white rock mountain. Excitent surged within him.

But almost imdiately, he noticed sothing unusual.

Typically, inheritances were hidden and guarded by special conditions to ensure they couldn’t be claid easily. After all, no one would leave their life’s work vulnerable to just anyone—that would diminish its value.

Yet, the inheritance now within Liu Xiong’s divine sense range had no such restrictions. It was completely exposed, as if waiting to be taken.

This realization left Liu Xiong uneasy.

What’s going on here? he thought. I should consult the Holy Son. He knew about the secondary gate to the Cave Heaven appearing on Three Mountains Island. Maybe he has more information.

With this in mind, Liu Xiong quickly activated his transmission jade token to contact Jiang Chen.

...

Jiang Chen maintained a calm expression as he read Liu Xiong’s ssage.

So, Liu Xiong and Gu Ran have found an inheritance? he thought.

This Cave Heaven is full of inheritances, so it’s no surprise they’ve co across one. But the lack of restrictions on these inheritances is strange. Clearly, sothing unusual is happening here.

Unfortunately, I haven’t found any useful records yet, he reflected.

Jiang Chen quickly replied to Liu Xiong, advising him to take steps to prevent Gu Ran from accessing the inheritances.

If Gu Ran attempted to claim an inheritance, Liu Xiong should try to interfere and obstruct him—but without resorting to force, as that could lead to complications.

Additionally, Jiang Chen suggested that when they encountered demonic beasts, Liu Xiong should prioritize defeating those with higher cultivation levels. This would deny Gu Ran the chance to grow stronger by defeating them himself.

Jiang Chen also instructed Liu Xiong to watch for any inheritances or artifacts that might reveal the history of this Cave Heaven.

Gu Ran’s biggest strength lies in his ability to absorb cultivation from others after defeating them, Jiang Chen analyzed.

But these inheritances consist only of cultivation techniques, martial skills, and secret arts—none of them include cultivation resources. It’s possible that the original cultivators were unable to leave behind such assets.

Since these inheritances don’t include cultivation materials, Gu Ran’s growth won’t be especially fast, even if he manages to benefit from them.

In fact, his slower cultivation speed makes this type of inheritance less valuable to him.

With these thoughts, Jiang Chen turned his attention back to his journey, continuing his search for more answers.

As their exploration continued, Wu Qian ca across nurous cultivation thod inheritances and eagerly recorded them all without hesitation.

Although the inheritances he found were of lower quality compared to Jiang Chen’s discoveries, Wu Qian was thrilled.

Even these readily available thods were at the Inquiring Journey realm, which gave him hope that Dao Palace realm inheritances—and possibly even Transcendence realm inheritances—could be within reach soon.

Inviting Holy Son Jiang Chen to explore this Cave Heaven with was the smartest decision I’ve ever made! Wu Qian thought, unable to hide his excitent. Without him, I would have missed out on all these opportunities!

Ti passed steadily as they continued their search.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.

He had just received a ssage from Liu Xiong:

"Holy Son Jiang Chen, Gu Ran and I were unexpectedly attacked by a demonic beast at the Inquiring Journey realm and several others at the Heavenly Origin realm.

Following your advice, I managed to defeat the Inquiring Journey beast. However, Gu Ran also killed many of the Heavenly Origin realm demonic beasts.

Afterward, Gu Ran stumbled upon a hidden stone stele. It seems to hold historical information about this Cave Heaven."

As Jiang Chen read the ssage, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At last, we’ve found sothing aningful, he thought, pleased.

And, of course, it was Gu Ran who uncovered it.

The so-called protagonist halo truly is extraordinary. Even though I’ve been ticulously scanning the area with my divine sense at the Transcendence realm, Gu Ran—who is only at the Inquiring Journey realm—has already uncovered sothing significant, Jiang Chen reflected as he continued reading Liu Xiong’s update.
