I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 57: Yan Ji's Mind; The Rift Between Master and Disciple!
'The beings from the Ancient Holy Mountains arrived at the gate of the Ancient Lin Family very hilariously, but their loudest person with wings on his back was immediately slapped to death.' — this news soon spread throughout the Middle States.
This matter became a hot topic of discussion among cultivators, and everyone could be heard talking about it, be it after dinner or before tea.
Although people did not know the specific details of the events that occurred, they heard that the creatures from the Ancient Holy Mountains were forced to leave desperately. All cultivators in the world knew after this that even a powerful existence like the Ancient Holy Mountains could not stand before the mysterious Young Master of the Upper Realm!
The mysterious Young Master Gu was unexpected!
Moreover, the girl in purple clothes who called herself Ye Chen's cousin also attracted the attention of many people. Some said that his origin was also not small, and he came from a background that was even stronger than the Ancient Holy Mountains.
Not many people believe these rumors.
The cultivators, who had witnessed everything from outside the Ancient Lin Family, had seen the purple-clothed girl leave with an ugly expression on her cold face. It was clear that he had smashed into the iron plate within the Ancient Lin Family.
Many later speculated that the girl in purple might have come from the Upper Realm as well, and this statement was accepted by the majority.
All sorts of rumors were spreading in the Central State, causing an uproar.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Dao Conference was held in the Ancient City overlooking the Moon as scheduled.
Many Holy Lands, great people, and descendants of the Ancient Dynasties came to participate, and it made the Moon-facing Ancient City come to life.
Everyone had the same goal in mind: 'meet the mysterious Young Master during this Dao Conference!'
Too bad, they're disappointed.
Although there were people from the Ancient Lin Family who had come to participate, no one saw any signs of Young Master's presence. He wasn't even present on the platform where all the great people gathered to watch the Dao Conference.
This brought great disappointment to the many cultivators who had specifically come to stare at the face of the Heavenly Young Master of the Upper Realm. Unfortunately, they have no luck.
As for visiting the Ancient Lin Family?
They don't qualify.
Naturally, Gu Changge was not interested in such a low-level Dao Conference. Right now, he was heading towards the intersection of the eight regions of the Central State near the border of Central Heavenly City, along with Old Ming.
Since Ye Chen was around the area, then it meant that the Ancient Celestial Secret Realm was also there. The Secret Realm should be opened at any time now, according to his calculations.
……
In a remote town near the border of Central Heavenly City.
With sky-high mountains, towering ancient trees, and vast plains, it was a place that not many cultivators visited on ordinary days due to its remote location.
But today, innumerable cultivators and beings from other races flew in the sky leaving a brilliant light like a rainbow. Some rose above beasts, others stood on magic weapons, and many walked all over the place.
"A brilliant divine light emerged from this place some time ago, and a Heavenly phenomenon was seen from as far as three thousand miles away! It attracted the attention of many nearby powers and cultivators, and they said the divine treasure would soon arrive.
"No wonder there are so many cultivators coming here! Here's why."
A young man with the usual traits walked through the streets and listened to the chatter of the townspeople. His face showed a stern expression, and he could not help but mutter to himself, "It seems that someone has found the entrance of the Ancient Heavenly Core Secret Realm recorded in fragments!"
"I have gathered all the pieces of the Secret Realm map, so I can walk freely no matter how many death traps there are inside. Moreover, I also have the key left behind by Senior who created this Heavenly Secret Realm. ."
"Once the entrance opens, I will blend in with all the cultivators who rushed in and headed for the core of the Secret Realm ..."
The young man seemed to be talking to himself, but, in reality, he was communicating with his Master who lived in the ring on his finger.
This young man was none other than Ye Chen!
During this period, he had increased his cultivation and even obtained great opportunities while searching for map fragments. He was already at the peak of the Transcendent Realm now!
Even the word 'horrible' was not enough to describe such a strange talent.
Of course, it wouldn't surprise Gu Changge. After all, this was expected of Preferred Heavenly Children.
Ye Chen, however, was dissatisfied even with such an incredible improvement. He felt his cultivation speed was still not fast enough. Even though he had plenty of opportunities, he still could not close the gap between him and Gu Changge.
"Only when I obtain the inheritance from the Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm will I be able to kill that Gu Changge and avenge me ..."
"And b!tc4, Su Qingge ..."
Fires of hatred raged in Ye Chen's eyes as he recalled the past. After pondering over the matter for a while, he realized that Gu Changge's strength was indeed not something he could handle.
Before, no matter how powerful his enemies were, or how formidable the background behind them was, he had always been at the top by turning danger into opportunity and receiving a massive increase in strength. This made Ye Chen believe that the Ancient Heavenly Core Secret Realm was a prepared opportunity for him to reverse his current situation.
Inside the ring, Yan Ji floated in the void with a bored expression. He did not reply to Ye Chen even after hearing his words.
With her red pupils glazed over, she stared into the void with a puzzled expression. Right now, his appearance did not resemble that of the mighty Master Ye Chen.
He had watched Ye Chen rise sharply over the past period of time with his own eyes. His increased speed was even fiercer than some geniuses in the Upper Realm.
All of this gave him a strange feeling, and he did not know what to do.
Previously, he had thought that Ye Chen would never be able to take revenge on Gu Changge in this lifetime. Even if he were to receive the inheritance from the Ancient Heavenly Secret Realm, that fact would not change.
Back in his prime, he might not have been a Quasi-Supreme, but he wasn't too far behind at that level. In his opinion, Gu Changge, a young man who could bring out something as valuable as the [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill], could not possibly be from a humble background. His family or Sect will not lack existences at the Highest or Highest Quasi-level.
Therefore, Yan Ji had given up on persuading Ye Chen, and somewhat hated him now.
No matter how one compared him to Gu Changge, Ye Chen could not hold a candle in front of him. Their background was too far away, and so was their cultivation base. Ye Chen would never be able to succeed in his revenge.
But now, Yan Ji's mind had changed. With the speed at which Ye Chen's cultivation increased, he might actually be able to create a miracle.
Yan Ji could not help but feel worried for Gu Changge.
Perhaps, he was thanking her for the [Eternal Spirit Gatherer Pill].or perhaps, her sincere attitude in the dungeon left her touched. At that moment, he could easily kill Ye Chen, or even take the ring from him by force, but he did not.
Yan Ji had a good impression of Gu Changge, and believed that he would make great waves in the future. Therefore, Yan Ji was in a complicated mood and did not know who to side with.
His remaining spirit had fallen into the Lower Realm and endured in a ring. Then, Ye Chen obtained the ring and because of his hard-cultivated Spiritual Qi, he was able to wake up from his sleep. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't know how long it would take him to wake up.
It was precisely because of him that Ye Chen went from being a famous genius to a hated trash whose cultivation had instead retreated instead of ascending. Her fiance broke off the engagement between them, and she ended up as an object of ridicule for everyone.
He felt very guilty towards her, and that was why he took her as his student and taught her as much as he could. He was determined to help this indomitable young man rise to the top again.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen's recent appearance made him very disappointed. He could not distinguish between good and bad, and the flames of jealousy and jealousy clouded his judgment.
It had gotten to the point where he even suspected her, and thought that she was conspiring with Gu Changge!
If that was the case, then why would he bother staying by his side and continue to guide him in his cultivation? After all, Gu Changge was far superior to him in every aspect, so shouldn't he immediately go to his side?
He had held firm to his conscience, and was not moved by Gu Changge's sincerity in the face of his desire to repay the grace he received from Ye Chen.
Sweetheart! Ye Chen could not understand such a simple matter, and thought that he was staying with her now out of pity.
It broke Yan Ji's heart and rendered him helpless.
He knew a rift had appeared between him and Ye Chen, and the problem, contrary to Ye Chen's beliefs, was lying to Ye Chen himself.
He's not the guilty one here.
