Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 66: The Final Moments Before Entry

In another location, aboard the flying vessel of the Snowy Wind Continent’s Azure Jade Sect, sat the unassuming Ye Fan. He was alone in a corner, his head bowed, exuding a calm exterior that belied the turmoil within.

’This ti, the competition for the Cave Heaven Secret Realm includes the Starry Abyss Sect from the Mysterious Truth Continent,’ he thought to himself.

’Before Jiang Xingyang’s subordinate died, he revealed that Jiang Xingyang has a son nad Jiang Chen, who is training in the Starry Abyss Sect and holds a significant position. He’s likely to be here for this event, isn’t he?’

’Jiang Xingyang, you destroyed my entire family to get the Wordless Heavenly Jade. I swear to avenge them, to repay blood with blood, and to completely eliminate your Jiang Clan!’ he vowed internally, his fists clenched tightly, veins standing out, consud by deep hatred.

Nevertheless, he deliberately avoided looking at the Starry Abyss Sect’s flying spirit boat, careful not to show any hostility or draw unnecessary attention to himself.

Ye Fan ca from humble beginnings and had grown up in a variety of dangerous environnts since he was a child. His constant vigilance was the only reason he had survived for so long, and it was also what enabled him to obtain the extraordinary treasure, the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

The grudge against the Jiang Clan began when Ye Fan was just fifteen years old. It was then that Jiang Xingyang and his party arrived in Lasting Mountain City on the Snowy Wind Continent and took him as a disciple.

Over ti, they mistreated him because of the Wordless Heavenly Jade. Even after he escaped with the Jade, they went so far as to destroy his entire family.

After that incident, Ye Fan spent a long ti on the run. With the help of the Wordless Heavenly Jade, he managed to escape one dangerous situation after another and ultimately succeeded in defeating Jiang Xingyang and his wife.

The Wordless Heavenly Jade was a supre treasure that allowed Ye Fan to quickly learn and master a new cultivation thod in an incredibly short amount of ti, helping him reach the Perfect-level.

To date, Ye Fan had mastered nurous cultivation thods. Although his cultivation base was at the Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening realm, his combat power had far exceeded that of the Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm.

The key was his arsenal of various thods, making him extrely difficult to defend against. Ordinary cultivators at the Mysterious Platform realm were no match for him, and even those at the Peak-stage Mysterious Platform realm would struggle to defeat him.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Fan was able to eliminate the two Mysterious Platform realm experts, Jiang Xingyang and his wife.

’During this Cave Heaven Secret Realm mission, I need to learn more cultivation thods,’ Ye Fan thought to himself, taking a deep breath. He placed his right hand on his chest, hiding the Wordless Heavenly Jade beneath his clothes, his eyes shining with determination.

But at that mont, while Ye Fan was deep in thought, a scene unfolded on the Beast Emperor Mountain’s flying vessel. A muscular man, radiating an aura as fierce and untad as an ancient wild beast, stepped forward and called out loudly, "Everyone! Gather around to discuss and finalize our plan."

Following this call, with a series of whooshing sounds, the sect leaders from the ten major sects of the Mysterious Truth Continent, Snowy Wind Continent, and Bright Cloud Continent appeared from their respective flying vessels. The leaders from each continent grouped together, forming three distinct camps, and convened in the center.

According to information gathered by the various major sects, at noon, when the Yang Qi was at its strongest, a subtle, almost imperceptible change would occur in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

The location of this change would act as the shifting entrance to the Cave Heaven Secret Realm. With the collective power of several Mysterious Platform realm experts, a spatial portal could be opened.

However, this portal could only be used once and would only remain open for a limited ti. After the ti ran out, it would disappear and beco inaccessible. Anyone who didn’t exit in ti would be trapped inside for the rest of their lives.

As recorded, the existence of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm was not stable, and an ancient Cave Heaven Secret Realm could suddenly collapse and be destroyed. In such an event, any living beings inside would also die, with no chance of recovering their remains.

Just then, Xia Hou, the sect master of the Heavenly Blade School and the appointed leader of this expedition, spoke up, "Fellow Daoists, if you have any concerns or objections about the rules for the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, please speak up now so we can address them."

"However," he continued, "if we agree to these rules now and later you decide to go back on our agreent, be prepared to face the collective retaliation of the other sects!"

Hearing these words, everyone looked at each other. In the end, no one raised any objections, indicating their silent agreent.

"Since there are no objections," Xia Hou declared, "let’s move forward according to the rules we’ve already agreed upon."

"Each sect will send thirty disciples under the age of fifty, as determined by bone age, to enter the Cave Heaven Secret Realm and compete for opportunities. Also, we will keep the entrance open for three months; make sure to remind your disciples."

"Now," he announced, "let’s start verifying the bone age of each sect’s disciples. Our goal is to enter the Cave Heaven Secret Realm by noon today!"

Imdiately after Xia Hou’s announcent, disciples from the various sects began the public bone age examination process.

Following this, each sect brought out its own unique testing device, and every disciple was required to undergo the testing process using the devices of all ten major sects.

"Ke Pengyue, bone age 38!"

"Du Yeye, bone age 49!"

"Fei Sitian, bone age 42!"

"Duan Ziming, bone age 43!"

"Jiang Chen, bone age 20!"

"..."

After a series of examinations, many participants were close to the maximum bone age limit of fifty, but all the disciples successfully t the criteria, staying within the acceptable range.

In reality, everyone knew that altering one’s bone age was not feasible, so there was no attempt to deceive.

"The disciple examination is complete! Now, let’s draw lots to determine the order of entry," Xia Hou announced, bringing out a box for the draw.

The box was designed to allow the penetration of divine sense, but the ten small balls inside were made from special materials that were impervious to divine sense.

After the sect leaders and senior mbers from the major sects inspected the device and confird it was fair, the drawing of lots began.

The Starry Abyss Sect ended up drawing the final position.

Jiang Chen looked towards the Azure Jade Sect, where Ye Fan was, and they drew the eighth position.

’This is good,’ Jiang Chen thought to himself.

’I just hope that the teleportation locations inside are fixed; that would give a slight advantage. Even a small edge can be extrely valuable,’ he mused, then found a place to sit down and wait patiently.

...

Ti slowly passed, and the sun gradually rose higher in the sky, eventually reaching its zenith.

Surrounded by the massive flying vessels of the ten major sects, within the mountain range, strands of white ribbon-like phenona began to appear.

"It’s ti," Xia Hou said softly, and a powerful surge of Origin Power flowed towards the white ribbon-like phenonon. Imdiately, Feng Jun and the other sect masters also sprang into action.

Ten streams of Origin Power, like waterfalls, cascaded down onto the phenonon.

Under the watchful eyes of all the disciples, the white ribbon-like phenonon slowly expanded and began to rotate.

At that mont, the other senior mbers from the ten major sects stepped up, each contributing their own Origin Power.

Suddenly, the expansion of the phenonon accelerated, and it began to spin, transforming into a vortex.

Once the spatial portal stabilized, Xia Hou announced, adhering to the previously agreed upon entry order, "Beast Emperor Mountain, enter!"

Right away, thirty disciples from the Beast Emperor Mountain lined up and stepped into the vortex, disappearing from sight.

Soon after, disciples from each sect took their turns entering the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, and quickly it was the Starry Abyss Sect’s turn.
