I Am the Fated Villain

126 — Framed by Gu Changge; Enough Strength to Slaughter a Sacred Realm Master!

Right then, a knock on the door sounded from outside the courtyard, accompanied by a cold and prideful voice.

“Anyone there?”

“Chi Ling! She’s here.”

Chi Ling’s arrival overjoyed Ye Ling and he rushed to open the door.

He trusted Chi Ling since the two had once fought side by side, and Chi Ling had also contacted him a while ago and informed him that she would help him find a way to clear his name from all the suspicions.

Soon, Chi Ling walked inside and the two sat next to each other, and Ye Ling poured her a cup of tea.

“Ye Ling, I almost didn’t recognize you since you look like this now.”

Chi Ling couldn’t help but say in wonder as she looked at Ye Ling’s current appearance.

After talking with Gu Changge, she left the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace and returned to the Vermillion Bird Family’s residence.

There, she got in touch with Ye Ling, and then arrived here after getting information from him.

Ye Ling replied to her with a sigh, “I have no choice but to do this, or I won’t know how I died.”

After that, he informed Chi Ling of his recent situation.

Chi Ling felt sympathy for him when she listened to him recount his situation, and felt that he was indeed in a miserable situation after someone pinned such a blame on his head.

“Don’t worry, Ye Ling, I will definitely find a way to help you since we are friends.”

“What’s more? I recently got into contact with a mighty existence who also thinks that you were framed. When the time comes, I will work with him and find a way to help you prove your innocence.”

Chi Ling said to him with a smile.

The reason she didn’t name Gu Changge was because she knew that there was some grudge between Ye Ling and Gu Changge, since Ye Ling wanted to challenge Gu Changge for some reason.

If she mentioned Gu Changge before Ye Ling, then there was chance that Ye Ling’s prideful temperament wouldn’t allow him to accept Gu Changge’s help, so she decided to tell him the truth at a suitable time in the future.

Maybe, Gu Changge and Ye Ling could form a bond of friendship through this ordeal.

Chi Ling’s words surprised Ye Ling.

“Who’s that mighty existence? I must thank them.”

Ye Ling said without a second thought.

“I can’t tell you right now, but in the younger generation, not many can match him! Even I am not his match.”

Chi Ling could only tell him this much.

Ye Ling’s surprise and excitement deepened when he heard those words, and he felt a burst of gratitude for that mighty existence.

That person was a generous man who sent him charcoal during a snowy night!

Afterwards, Chi Ling discussed other matters with Ye Ling and offered to bring him along to the Ancient Immortal Continent as one of her followers three days later.

Ye Ling naturally didn’t refuse her offer.

There was no heritage backing him, so he could only go inside as a loose cultivator, and that would hinder him from getting to the depths of the Ancient Immortal Continent that was hidden in the depths of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace.

Chi Ling was the talented Holy Maiden of the Vermillion Bird Family who had countless followers, so having one more or one less wouldn’t make any difference.

……

The cultivators in the surrounding ancient cities made a lot of noise because of the birth of the successor of the Taboo Inheritance and the opening of the Ancient Immortal Continent.

Gu Changge turned even more unscrupulous over this period of time.

In the past, he had to make sure to not catch the attention of the Elders and the disciples whenever he went to the Heavenly Dao Ancient City to jack himself up using the [Immortal Devouring Demonic Art], but now, he didn’t need to worry about such matters.

The successor of the Taboo Inheritance was Ye Ling, and he had nothing to do with anything related to him.

“Master.”

Yin Mei respectfully stood inside a splendid palace.

Over this period of time, all the heritages paid even more attention to their young talents due to their fear of the Taboo Inheritance’s successor, but it didn’t affect her collection of ‘cultivation resources’ for Gu Changge.

As a matter of fact, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Family operated a wide range of businesses, so her Family was involved in countless industries such as: ‘brothels, underground black markets, auctions, slave traders…’

It was far too easy for her to get cultivation resources for Gu Changge from such places.

Before, she had to take every step with caution so as to not expose themselves, but now, thanks to Ye Ling carrying the blame on his head, they could just put everything on Ye Ling even if someone discovered their tracks.

Yin Mei merely needed to take care of covering up her own tracks.

“Over the last three days, we have captured around three hundred young cultivators in the Spirit Palace Realm. We also got our hands on around fifty Saint Realm Cultivators, and in addition to those, there are also some who are in the Conferred Lord Realm and the Conferred King Realm…”

“As for those above the False God Realm, there aren’t many of them— Other than these, we also got our hands on many ancient corpses who still have their essence preserved…”

Yin Mei reported the resources she gathered to Gu Changge over the last few days.

“Well done.”

Gu Changge listened to her with a satisfied expression.

“Thank you for your compliment, Master.”

Yin Mei couldn’t help but smile when she heard his compliment.

With Ye Ling taking the blame for him, it was much more convenient for Gu Changge to do things.

His current hidden Cultivation Base had already reached the Heavenly God Realm!

The existence of the [Immortal Devouring Demonic Art], and the way it worked, made it so that he wouldn’t face any bottlenecks when ascending to higher realms.

As long as he gathered enough resources, he could break through to the next realm.

With all these resources, it would take him at most half a year to break through to the Sacred Realm!

It was because of this that Gu Changge didn’t give a damn about his publicly-visible Cultivation Base. No matter how great the [Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex] might be, it couldn’t compare to the [Immortal Devouring Demonic Art].

He also didn’t believe he would be exposed in a short time.

By the time the world found out the truth, he would already be mighty enough to hold back the entire world, so who would dare to go against him at that time?

Afterwards, Gu Changge went to the dungeon which was hidden quite well and could be considered the base where he usually communicated with Yin Mei.

He understood that a cunning rabbit must have three burrows, and that’s why he created multiple places for himself. One of them was the dungeon discovered by the White Tiger Family, which he deliberately gave away.

Soon, after half a quarter of an hour, pitch-black [Great Dao Treasured Bottles] floated up and down as wisps of black light spread in the surroundings.

Finally, Gu Changge’s cultivation session came to an end after he absorbed everything.

“It’s really not easy to break through and take the next step in the Heavenly God Realm…”

“It seems that these cultivators aren’t good enough!”

Gu Changge shook his head and left the place with a frown.

At the same time, he brought up his Attributes Panel to have a look.

He chose not to break through another realm right now.

His current public-facing Cultivation Base was more than enough, so he could use the Destiny Points to evolve his inner world.

Gu Changge didn’t plan on comprehending the [Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex] by himself. Although it wouldn’t be a hard thing for him, it wasn’t necessary.

He then looked at the things inside the System Shop to see if he could find some Dao Bones that held a great allure to him.

Soon, he saw a talent which aroused his interest.

[Transcendence]

It was an intimidating name.

In worlds of fantasy like these, anything that bore transcendence in its name would usually hold great might and allure.

[Transcendence is a supreme talent that embodies the laws of detachment from the world that help one move unhindered…It can be used on one’s blood, bones, heart, soul…]

Gu Changge was moved by the introduction of the talent.

If he used [Transcendence] on his bones, then the approximate price would be…thirty thousand Destiny Points for a single bone!

‘I can exchange the three thousand points of Fortune Value for thirty thousand Destiny Points.’

Gu Changge pondered over the choice for a while, after all, it was thirty thousand Destiny Points for a single bone.

The human body had a total of 206 bones, so the fact that it was priced thirty thousand a piece meant that he could replace every single bone of his body with [Transcendence], no?

As long as he could amass enough Destiny Points, he could use [Transcendence] on every single one of his bones.

Wasn’t it just three thousand points of Fortune Value a piece? Since when did Gu Changge lack this little amount of points?

He decided to make the exchange.

Gu Changge didn’t hesitate anymore and directly used [Transcendence] on the bone next to his already-present Dao Bone.

In the next moment, he felt a mysterious energy shroud his body and condense on that bone.

He seemed to know this feeling.

It was how a carp felt when it leapt over the dragon gate and transformed into a true dragon in one fell swoop.

It was a fundamental change.

Gu Changge’s understanding of his many Mystical Abilities deepened at the same time. If he only knew how to use the abilities before, then now, he understood how the abilities worked at their fundamental level — he could comprehend the Laws making up the Mystical Abilities.

Only when someone reached the Sacred Realm could they start peering upon the fundamental Laws of the World.

He, on the other hand, had already started to control low-leveled Laws!

Right now, Gu Changge felt that the three thousand points of Fortune Value he spent weren’t wasted.

‘With my current strength, I should be able to slaughter Sacred Realm Masters, no?’

He pondered for a while and then left for the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace.
