I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 235
Chapter 235: I learned to oppress others from Gu Changge, the power of the Nirvana Green Lotus Body
“Jiang Yang, what’s the meaning of this? Why are all the major divine mountains and restricted areas accusing you of stealing their sacred objects?” The atmosphere in the hall was oppressively silent, akin to a volcano on the brink of eruption. Elders and disciples alike were filled with anger, fear, unease, and panic, as if facing a great calamity.
The Holy Master of the Immortal Lun Sect broke the silence, his face dark with anger as he fixed his gaze on Jiang Yang, as if attempting to discern the truth from his very soul.
Outside the Immortal Lun Sect, a convergence of major supreme beings brought forth a vast number of cultivators from divine mountains and restricted areas. They stood before the mountain gate, demanding the sect to hand over the disciple responsible for the theft of the sacred artifact.
The sudden secret revolt, escalating towards potential bloodshed, sent shockwaves throughout the heavenly domain, emboldening countless cultivators and factions to act.
And at the center of it all was Jiang Yang.
While the outside world attributed the turmoil to a pre-existing scourge, Jiang Yang’s actions served as the catalyst. The major divine mountains and restricted areas saw this as an opportunity to sow chaos. However, the Immortal Lun Sect knew the truth: this crisis had been sparked solely by Jiang Yang’s actions.
They held the supreme weapon as their trump card. Unless those forbidden areas and divine mountains were utterly foolish, they wouldn’t dare to engage in battle on their home turf. Yet now, they seemed to disregard this entirely. It could only mean that Jiang Yang had infuriated them to the point where they no longer cared about the Immortal Lun Sect’s possession of the supreme weapon.
A few days prior, Jiang Yang had returned to the sect’s mountain gate covered in blood, bearing wounds so severe that even the Holy Master of the Immortal Lun Sect and Supreme Elder Zhao Yi, who had also been injured, couldn’t forget. What did this signify? It suggested that the two had infiltrated those forbidden areas and divine mountains, stealing their sacred objects. Even the supreme weapon had been taken by Supreme Elder Zhao Yi. This assertion was unanimously agreed upon by a group of elders from the Immortal Lun Sect.
“Jiang Yang, you owe us an explanation for this matter, or else you’ll face suppression and expulsion!” Several elders spoke sternly, their expressions icy as they refused to bear the brunt of Jiang Yang’s actions.
“Yes, it’s all his fault. He’s the one who brought this calamity upon us. If the major divine mountains were to attack, who could stop them? Even the Ancestor’s phantom is nowhere to be found!” Some elders seethed with anger.
“I believe Jiang Yang merely deceived us with luck initially. Why not seize this opportunity to expel him from the sect before he causes further catastrophe?” suggested another.
The hall resonated with voices of rebuke and blame. Amidst the chaos, the only one still standing by Jiang Yang’s side was Supreme Elder Zhao Yi. However, her authority no longer held the same weight as before, especially with several Supreme Sacred Realm ancestors present.
Her words fell on deaf ears. Zhao Yi harbored the intention to aid Jiang Yang, but her efforts proved futile. She remained the sole believer in Jiang Yang’s innocence, having witnessed his ambush and subsequent attack by the mysterious woman from the upper realm. However, her defense fell on unyielding ground. Even her position as Supreme Elder was no longer secure.
“The major divine mountains framed me, and you all actually believe it? Even if the Phantom of the Immortal Lun Ancestor fails to manifest, with the Immortal Lun Seal suppressing everything, do you still need to heed the major divine mountains and forbidden areas?” Jiang Yang’s already grim expression darkened further. It was truly a betrayal, with even the Immortal Lun Sect turning against him. The sect’s fortune gradually shifted away from him, leaving Jiang Yang with a sense of unease. It was as if an invisible hand had stripped him of his destiny, a sensation he had never before experienced.
Despite his inner turmoil, Jiang Yang forced himself to remain composed. “Who truly relies on me? Who is the mysterious woman from that day, and what is her true origin? How did she come to know my identity?” His heart weighed heavy with gloom.
“It’s pointless to speak further. Do you still expect us to bear the consequences of your actions at this juncture?” Jiang Yang’s words elicited drastic changes in the expressions of the other elders in the main hall, their fury evident.
It was on the verge of pointing fingers at Jiang Yang and hurling accusations of shamelessness and ingratitude. The Immortal Lun Sect had nurtured him with kindness, yet he not only brought trouble upon the sect but also seemed prepared to drag everyone down with him.
What audacity! Even the most ungrateful of creatures couldn’t compare to him. Jiang Yang’s tight frown only deepened as he retorted, “Shut up, you’re all a bunch of fools who can’t discern right from wrong.”
The Immortal Lun Sect’s ancestor had a significant connection with him, even aiding him in enlightening the clan. Without him, where would the Immortal Lun Sect stand? How dare these fools turn their backs on him now?
“Arrogant!”
“You’re asking for trouble!”
Jiang Yang’s words only fueled the crowd’s shock and anger. Their faces turned a deep shade of blue, stunned by his audacity. While Jiang Yang’s offense against the mysterious immortal from the upper realm had already angered many, they had refrained from reproaching him too harshly due to Yaoyao’s identity. But now, with his demeanor, he seemed bent on inviting disaster upon the Immortal Lun Sect.
“There’s no need for further discussion. Someone, bring Jiang Yang to me. Escort him to the mountain gate and hand him over to the representatives from the divine mountains and the restricted areas,” declared the Holy Master of the Immortal Lun Sect, his face a mask of displeasure. “As of today, Jiang Yang is expelled from the sect. His actions have no association with my Immortal Lun Sect.”
With a decisive wave of his hand, the Holy Master commanded Jiang Yang’s forcible removal.
As the Holy Master’s decree rang out, the strong auras of several elders immediately surged in the middle of the hall, surrounding Jiang Yang in unison.
“Stop…” Zhao Yi’s expression shifted slightly as she moved to intervene, but a cold snort from a Supreme Sacred Realm Elder silenced her, his large hand poised to treat her as a traitor.
The recent suspicion of the mysterious immortal from the upper realm falling within the Netherland Heavenly Pond had shifted the situation in the heavenly domain. Many forces and cultivators were affected and eager to take action. The Immortal Lun Sect bore the brunt of this, as outside forces now knew that the secret revolt had its origins within the sect. Handing over Jiang Yang seemed the quickest way to quell the anger of the outside world.
“Expel me from the sect?” A cold gleam flickered in Jiang Yang’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the Immortal Lun Sect to truly go through with it.
The words of the Holy Master resonated with divine power, spreading from the main hall and echoing across the sky dome. All who heard them reacted with shock, puzzlement, or disbelief.
Jiang Yang expelled from the Immortal Lun Sect? The sect about to capitulate? During this period of turmoil, the Immortal Lun Sect had become the focal point of attention in the heavenly domain, drawing many forces and cultivators to its gates.
“It seems the Immortal Lun Sect still has some sense left, knowing what to do in this situation,” remarked a burly, double-horned creature outside the sect’s mountain gate, shrouded in thick black fog. His powerful divine aura marked him as the Lord of a Divine Mountain.
The imposing figure resembled a vast black cloud, obscuring the sky and sun, poised on the horizon, ready to attack the Immortal Lun Sect. “Hand over that disciple, or the Immortal Lun Sect will be buried here today!” he thundered, his voice echoing like a tempest, sending shivers down countless spines.
In another direction, the Lord of the Forbidden Area had also appeared, his aura formidable and ready to besiege the Immortal Lun Sect. The secret revolt had swept across the heavens, and today it was more conspicuous than ever. All eyes were fixed on this spectacle.
Was the Holy Master of the Immortal Lun Sect’s decree not indicative of their stance? “Jiang Yang was expelled from the Immortal Lun Sect?” Yue Mingkong’s expression remained calm and composed as she observed from atop a distant mountain. Behind her knelt a group of terrifying creatures, some veiled in dark mist, others adorned with runes, embodying the laws and rules.
If the other powerhouses of the heavenly domain were present, they would be stunned. These creatures were formidable beings from the major divine mountains and forbidden areas, yet here they were, kneeling before a woman. The sight was truly astonishing.
“But that’s not enough; unless Jiang Yang employs every means at his disposal, he won’t be able to escape,” Yue Mingkong remarked casually. She understood Jiang Yang’s origins and his connection to the ancestor of the Immortal Lun Sect, so she didn’t underestimate him. She also recognized the power of Jiang Yang’s Reincarnation Seal.
While she might not seek to kill Jiang Yang outright, she intended to neutralize his advantages using her own methods. Now that the Immortal Lun Sect had severed ties with Jiang Yang, it played right into her plans. The Immortal Lun Sect couldn’t afford to be at odds with the entire world over one disciple.
Her approach to framing people was a page straight from Gu Changge’s playbook. Though lacking Gu Changge’s fervor, it was sufficient to oppress Jiang Yang at this critical juncture.
Upon receiving Yue Mingkong’s directive, the group of powerhouses rose from their knees and swiftly departed from the Immortal Lun Sect. “Hand over that disciple, or the Immortal Lun Sect will be destroyed here today!” boomed a commanding voice from outside the sect.
Accompanied by a palpable sense of impending doom, many disciples of the Immortal Lun Sect trembled with fear, as if disaster had descended upon them.
Boom!
A quasi-sacred realm cultivator raised his palm, poised to strike down. The runes expanded into formidable laws, resembling a falling sky that engulfed everything, causing the Immortal Lun Sect’s mountain protection formation to emit a terrifying cracking sound.
At this critical juncture, a surge of tyrannical divine energy erupted from within the Immortal Lun Sect, reaching into the sky to intercept the descending palm, preventing its destruction of the mountain protection formation.
The presence of a Sacred Realm cultivator was awe-inspiring. Even outside the domain, just their breath could shatter ancient stars and obliterate worlds.
In that moment, all onlookers felt a blinding light, infused with the power of countless laws, exploding with a deafening bang. It was as if a brilliant sun had detonated in the sky, illuminating the void with a vast expanse of white.
Witnessing this spectacle, the forces and powerful beings who had been observing in secrecy were left stunned, feeling a shiver down their spines.
“No, the mountain protection formation is cracking…” whispered countless disciples within the Immortal Lun Sect, their expressions shifting from shock to despair.
With the rupture of the mountain protection formation, the mighty creatures in the sacred mountain’s restricted area outside the Immortal Lun Sect were slain. Once a pure land, it was now consumed by murderous intent and anguished cries. The God Kings fell, their bodies reduced to rubble and their walls shattered. Runes glimmered like an ocean as the battle raged on, blood staining the air and ruins littering the landscape.
Curses and resentment filled the air as blame fell upon Jiang Yang. Why had he brought such calamity upon them, causing them to suffer alongside him? Why had he jeopardized their lives?
“Jiang Yang is to blame for all this! Hand him over to appease the divine mountains and forbidden places! I refuse to be buried with him…”
“Jiang Yang, you deserve to suffer…”
“Get Jiang Yang out of the Immortal Lun Sect! I won’t let us all be buried with him!”
The resentment echoed throughout the buildings atop the peaks of the Immortal Lun Sect.
Seeing someone take aim at him in the hall, Jiang Yang’s expression turned icy. He had given the Immortal Lun Sect one last chance, intending to repel the enemies outside before heading to the Netherland Heavenly Pond. But now, the Immortal Lun Sect had become his enemy.
It was the first time such a thing had happened since he had undergone so many reincarnations.
With those words, Jiang Yang sprang into action!
His techniques were extraordinary; dazzling brilliance emanated from his palm like a shower of light, accompanied by a formidable aura.
The Immortal Lun Sect quaked in response!
Beneath the ground, it felt as though something was stirring, the four directions roiling and transforming into a powerful surge of heavenly energy, harnessed by Jiang Yang!
“What?”
“What’s happening? How did Jiang Yang’s strength suddenly surge?”
“This can’t be… How could Jiang Yang wield the Immortal Lun Seal? It’s…”
The expressions of the Immortal Lun Sect’s elders, including the Holy Master, underwent a drastic change, shocked by Jiang Yang’s abilities.
Their backs went cold, their souls quivered, and they sensed an imminent danger.
Under the weight of such an aura, they nearly buckled at the knees, their bodies collapsing!
Boom!
At that moment, a terrifying aura, as if poised to obliterate the world, emanated from the depths of the Immortal Lun Sect.
One side of the immensely clear seal hung down, exuding a fearsome chaotic aura that circulated a supreme energy.
With the assistance of numerous mechanisms, Jiang Yang once again activated the Immortal Lun Seal, and this time its divine power was far more formidable than before!
“Is that… the Immortal Lun Seal?”
“How can this be…”
“Who are you? How can you wield this thing so effortlessly? Even for those in the quasi-sacred realm, it’s a challenge to use it like this!”
The Lords of the Divine Mountains and the forbidden areas, who had appeared on the horizon, were utterly stunned, facing an unexpected turn of events.
They didn’t know Jiang Yang’s identity, but with the upper realm backing them, they wouldn’t dare inquire further if they wanted to eliminate Jiang Yang.
It was beyond their expectations that Jiang Yang would employ such tactics at this juncture.
Frankly speaking, Jiang Yang’s move had astonished the world!
Upon hearing their words, Jiang Yang simply soared into the horizon, regarding the adversaries from all sides with indifference and disdain.
“Just you? You dare to act against me? Everyone who ventures here today will meet their end.”
“You think you’re worthy to challenge me, Jiang Yang?”
At that moment, he ceased to explain, instead seizing the opportunity to demonstrate to the world that he was not an easy target—could anyone truly intimidate him?
As his words trailed off, Jiang Yang raised his hand, and the formidable terrain transformed into a rushing force, surging into the Immortal Lun Seal.
This was the culmination of heaven and earth and the myriad forces gathered by the Immortal Lun Sect over millions of years! Now, they were all at his disposal!
“Excellent. If Jiang Yang resorts to these tactics now, I refuse to believe he has much of a countermove left…”
“Once he’s depleted his defenses, our chances of eliminating him will be even higher. Thankfully, he’s confined to the Heavenly Star Realm; there aren’t many resources the reincarnated body of the human ancestor can access here.”
From a distance, Yue Mingkong watched the unfolding scene with a composed expression, her mind swirling with various thoughts. She wasn’t taken aback in the slightest; instead, she felt an odd sensation creeping over her.
Had her scheme against Jiang Yang not gone as smoothly as planned? Was there someone clandestinely aiding her from the shadows? How else could she explain the previous mishap? Did Jiang Yang’s mistaken belief that she was the heir of the Human Ancestor Hall truly stem from mere chance? Yue Mingkong couldn’t fathom Jiang Yang being that foolish.
Her mind involuntarily turned to Gu Changge. Could it be that Gu Changge had noticed her movements and secretly trailed her to the lower realm? Yue Mingkong recalled the enigmatic immortal from the upper realm she had encountered some time ago. The more she pondered, the more plausible it seemed.
Had he descended into the Xuan domain, consolidated power there, and then, under the guise of recruiting disciples, covertly sought out the reincarnation of the human ancestor? Yet, such a scenario left a glaring loophole.
If that mysterious immortal from the upper realm was Gu Changge, then why hadn’t he intervened to deal with Jiang Yang after his arrival at the Immortal Lun Sect? Why wait until now? This left Yue Mingkong pondering whether she was overthinking or if there were other factors she hadn’t considered. Wasn’t that immortal rumored to have perished in the Netherland Heavenly Pond? Such news, unless witnessed firsthand, she found hard to believe.
“Not good!”
“This Jiang Yang is ruthless! He aims to eliminate everyone, including us!”
“Why can he activate the Immortal Lun Seal…”
In the next moment, panic swept through the Immortal Lun Sect as everyone reacted in terror, their faces drained of color, filled with desperation, horror, disbelief, and more. The radiant divine light emanating from the Immortal Lun Seal was blinding.
“You’ve brought this upon yourselves,” Jiang Yang declared coldly, his expression indifferent.
Simultaneously, a section of the supreme formation pattern revived in his hand, its beams of light intertwining, seemingly becoming the sole color in the heavens and earth. Everyone’s expressions shifted, their fear escalating to the extreme. In that moment, there was only despair, resentment, and regret.
“Something terrible is happening… The Immortal Lun Sect’s Supreme Weapon is being revived, and it’s set to exterminate everyone.”
“This guy is insane… He won’t even spare the Immortal Lun Sect. He’s deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor!”
All beings and cultivators fled in terror, seeking distance from the looming threat, their faces pale with fear, hearts pounding with dread.
Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, anything daring to stand in its path was obliterated, shattered into pieces within a hundred thousand miles, reduced to mere dust. Even the most formidable beings and cultivators observing from the distant sky were shaken to their core, gripped by sheer terror.
Witnessing the Immortal Lun Seal unleash its supreme divine might firsthand was nothing short of apocalyptic, rending the heavens and earth asunder, rattling the very fabric of the universe, annihilating all adversaries in its wake. And with it, the once-standing Immortal Lun Sect was reduced to naught but rubble, succumbing to the overwhelming power of the Supreme Weapon.
No entity, no matter how entrenched or mighty, could withstand the divine onslaught; disciples and elders alike were swiftly consumed by the unstoppable force, their existence snuffed out in an instant. Jiang Yang’s ruthless maneuver sent shockwaves through all who beheld it. How many foes had fallen? Even the Immortal Lun Sect had been erased from existence.
“Jiang Yang has truly outdone himself this time…”
Runes danced in Yue Mingkong’s eyes as the quasi-supreme weapon behind her blazed with radiant light, resisting the aftershocks and delving deeper into the ruins of the Immortal Lun Sect. Yet, Jiang Yang was nowhere to be found amidst the chaos.
Having vanquished all opposition in his vicinity, Jiang Yang had already made his escape.
As for where he would go, Yue Mingkong had already surmised, though Jiang Yang’s decision to destroy his own stronghold left her somewhat incredulous. She couldn’t help but acknowledge his worthiness as the reincarnation of the human ancestor; his methods were undeniably ruthless, treating the Immortal Lun Sect as he would any enemy. However, in doing so, Jiang Yang severed ties with his most advantageous ally, essentially breaking his own arm. Without the support of the Immortal Lun Sect, Yue Mingkong doubted Jiang Yang possessed any stronger backup plan.
Before long, the Immortal Lun Sect lay in ruins, reduced to ashes, its millennia-old legacy obliterated in a single day, sending shockwaves throughout the heavenly domain. Even the numerous divine mountain lords, forbidden entities, and others who had joined the clandestine rebellion were annihilated, stunning all who bore witness and striking fear into countless hearts.
Of course, these individuals had been mere pawns in Yue Mingkong’s scheme to exhaust Jiang Yang’s resources. Whether they perished in the fray or not, she intended to ensure they left no trace of her involvement.
In no time, the tale of a disciple of the Immortal Lun Sect who deceived his master and annihilated his lineage using the Immortal Lun Seal spread far and wide, leaving countless souls horrified. How Jiang Yang activated the Immortal Lun Seal remained a mystery, shrouded in suspense.
The supreme weapon left behind by the Immortal Lun Supreme ultimately became the instrument of destruction for the sect he once led. How ironic indeed.
In the underworld, a profound shift in momentum occurred, and the fortunes amassed by the Immortal Lun Sect over millions of years began to realign due to these events. This transformation was especially pronounced in the Heavenly Star Realm.
Gu Changge, submerged in the depths of the Netherland Heavenly Pond, keenly felt this upheaval in the underworld.
“Ding, Jiang Yang, the fortunate son, has severed ties with the Immortal Lun Sect…”
“Ding, the Fortunate Son razed the Immortal Lun Sect to the ground…”
With a series of system prompts, he unexpectedly accrued a substantial amount of luck points from Jiang Yang. Although these actions were orchestrated by Yue Mingkong, she was under Gu Changge’s influence, making her changes closely linked to him.
The tally of luck points alone exceeded 20,000, while Destiny points surged to an impressive 100,000. Truly, Jiang Yang proved himself worthy of his title as the Fortunate Son of Reincarnation; the sheer magnitude of luck he possessed was almost unbelievable.
Despite the unveiling of Jiang Yang’s numerous schemes, his luck points continued to grow and evolve. However, no matter how much his luck points increased, they had plummeted to a level that could only be described as dismal.
In Gu Changge’s estimation, only the final straw was needed to break the camel’s back. Ordinarily, the Immortal Lun Sect would have served as a stepping stone for Jiang Yang’s advancement, ensuring a smooth transition through this initial phase of development.
Now that Jiang Yang had demolished his own springboard, it was akin to tearing down the city walls.
“This guy Yue Mingkong has saved me some trouble this time. She’s much cleverer than before, knowing how to leverage significant momentum to exert pressure…”
“By the way, it’s given me ample time for further delay.”
Gu Changge couldn’t help but smile, still seated within the lotus body of the Nirvana Green Lotus, fully intending to refine it completely.
The potency of the Nirvana Green Lotus lay in its control over worldly power. Currently, Gu Changge was absorbing this formidable talent with his devil heart, undergoing a metamorphosis in all 60 trillion cells of his body. Each cell would soon become an ancient and expansive universe, possessing infinite power capable of subduing all.
With such a body, Gu Changge could harness the power of the human ancestor across all realms. This acquisition came effortlessly, though his physical strength was formidable, it had yet to reach unparalleled heights. With the Nirvana Green Lotus, however, his power would undoubtedly ascend to an unimaginable level.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Beyond the Netherland Heavenly Pond, the landscape was breathtaking, adorned with magnificent mountains, ancient trees soaring into the sky.
Two figures, an elderly woman and a young girl, hurried toward the scene. The younger one wore a simple dress, her face radiating a determined resolve.
It was Yaoyao.
Next to her was her grandmother; the two had departed from the Immortal Lun Sect and traveled all the way here. Without the aid of warships or flying boats, their progress was rather slow, taking many days to reach their destination.
Yaoyao was determined to personally ascertain the fate of her master, even if it meant confronting the possibility of her master’s demise. She was determined to locate her master’s remains and provide them with a proper burial.
With these thoughts in mind, she gazed ahead at the imposing mountain range veiled in chaotic mist. Her complexion was pallid, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of trepidation.
The surrounding 10,000 miles seemed eerily quiet; not a single cultivator or ferocious beast could be seen. This unsettling silence hinted at the dangers lurking within the Netherland Heavenly Pond, foreshadowing a challenging journey ahead.
“My master is inside. I shouldn’t be afraid. My master always believed in me and said I was capable. I must press on to find him!”
Yaoyao reassured herself aloud, clenching her fists and mustering her courage. She reminded herself not to succumb to fear as she prepared to forge ahead.
“Yaoyao, you’re really here! How did you manage to come to the Netherland Heavenly Pond? Your brother has been searching for you for ages.”
“After you disappeared upon returning to the Immortal Lun Sect, you didn’t leave any word for your brother. It had me worried sick.”
Just as Yaoyao was contemplating her next move, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. Granny Yinhua, alert by her side, broke into a sweat and shivered with unease.
From behind a massive boulder, accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps, emerged Jiang Yang’s figure, followed by the former supreme elder of the Immortal Lun Sect, Zhao Yi. They gazed at Yaoyao with a mix of surprise, concern, and various other emotions.
It came as a shock to Jiang Yang to find Yaoyao here. He had surmised that this determined girl wouldn’t sit idly by but would rush to the Netherland Heavenly Pond in search of her master.
Jiang Yang’s genuine surprise wasn’t feigned. He cared little for the destruction of the Immortal Lun Sect, as such matters paled in comparison to the might of the Netherland Heavenly Pond. Similarly, Yaoyao’s presence held little significance to him in the grand scheme of things.
