I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

The Great Elder’s PracticeThe Golden Core Disciple acting as the referee also didn’t expect this person to dare to hit a referee.

He was rebelling against him.

Ye Chen was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, even if the boxing techniques he learned were incredibly powerful, his cultivation was too low. A single punch only caused a slight ripple in his protective Qi shield.

The Golden Core Disciple’s chest heaved with anger.

”You’re asking for a beating!”

Although the Holy Land forbade killing fellow Disciples, teaching this clueless fellow a lesson was perfectly fine.

This Disciple also slapped down, hitting Ye Chen hard across the face.

Ye Chen was shocked; his Rebirth had been too exciting, causing his brain to short-circuit and making him forget the disparity in cultivation.

He had just been reborn, and this Physical Body was not yet fully under his control. Let alone unleashing his previous life’s strength, he hadn’t even fully grasped the power of this Physical Body.

In other words, he was even worse than a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

This slap landed squarely on his right cheek.

Slap!

The Golden Core Disciple was also consumed by rage, striking without restraint, and the slap sent four or five of his front teeth flying.

His yellowish front teeth, mixed with crimson blood, flew out.

One tooth that didn’t fly out was swallowed by Ye Chen, along with the blood.

”Even if your teeth are broken, you have to swallow them!” he said resentfully, his throat bobbing as he truly swallowed it.

”Scram! If you disrupt order again, I’ll have the Disciples of the Enforcement Hall confine you.”

”Hmph, aren’t you just higher in cultivation than me? If you have the guts, challenge me at the same level! Restrict your cultivation to Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and let’s fight.”

”The outcome is still unknown!”

Even though he was sent flying by a slap, Ye Chen was not discouraged in the slightest. He felt he was merely careless and had never lost a challenge at the same cultivation level.

The Golden Core Disciple couldn’t bear to look. When an enemy wants to kill you, would you also fight them at the same level?

He called over two Outer Sect Disciples to carry Ye Chen out and disqualify him from this grand competition.

Outside the competition arena, Ye Chen wiped blood from his hand.

His eyes held anger, and his heart contained fury.

”How dare you insult me and break four or five of my front teeth! I’ll remember you!”

”This humiliation today will be repaid a hundredfold!”

Xiao Fan flew past the competition arena, originally not intending to watch.

However, he suddenly spotted a familiar face.

It was the young man who spoke in front of Yaoguang Saintess Ji Qingxue in Feng Ning City that day.

His script suddenly glowed with golden light, instantly becoming dazzling and more brilliant than before.

Clearly, that young man’s life had changed.

Xiao Fan paused. A new Child of Destiny had appeared; how could he stand still?

[Ye Chen: Immortal Emperor Possessing Rebirth, forcibly seizing destiny.]

Upon seeing this opening, Xiao Fan knew things were not simple.

Ye Chen, the protagonist’s name.

An Immortal Emperor returning from Rebirth, a powerful individual reborn.

He didn’t even need to look to know that this Ye Chen was definitely a Child of Destiny.

However, judging by his behavior, he didn’t seem very smart.

How could he, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage, dare to mock a Golden Core Inner Sect Disciple? Had his ten thousand years of cultivation turned his brain into muscle?

Although he didn’t need to look to know Ye Chen’s plot direction, he still took a glance.

Especially when he saw one particular line, Xiao Fan couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

[Ye Chen resents you. He vaguely remembers that in the Secret Realm three months later, you and Yaoguang Saintess Ji Qingxue engaged in Dual Cultivation. He secretly admired Ji Qingxue. Although he and the Yaoguang Saintess were only ordinary friends, it didn’t stop him from hating you.

Inside the Secret Realm, he hid under the bed, listening to your sweet nothings during Dual Cultivation and your joyful moans of cultivation. Ye Chen gnashed his back teeth, hating you to the bone.]

[He felt you stole his love and, fueled by revenge against you, eventually became an unparalleled Immortal Emperor. In this reborn life, he listed you as his number one enemy.]

[Ye Chen, the key person to open the Secret Realm. The Secret Realm contains his greatest Golden Finger. It is recommended to eliminate him after the Secret Realm is opened.]

Holy crap!

What kind of plot is this! This is too exciting.

No, why did I push another Saintess? Why isn’t this script more detailed, like marking height, bust-waist-hip measurements, and leg length for me?!

Xiao Fan fell into deep thought. So, the Yaoguang Saintess was named Ji Qingxue. Although he had only glimpsed her from afar that day, her noble temperament and elegant, cold, and alluring face left a deep impression.

Hiss, it’s worth it.

No, how did this guy peek?

Another exclusive Golden Finger. These Qi Luck Children are truly one after another, like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa.

”A Golden Finger that can allow a Trash to grow into an unparalleled Immortal Emperor must be extraordinary.”

Ye Chen’s Aptitude was so bad that even dogs would shake their heads, yet with the Golden Finger, he could achieve Immortal Emperorhood. There’s a great Opportunity hidden within this Secret Realm.

Qin Feng’s Golden Finger, the Chronospace Codex, was already Heaven-Defying enough. Ye Chen’s must not be far behind. Xiao Fan pondered quietly.

The day the Secret Realm opens is the day your kidney is harvested.

Recomposing himself, Xiao Fan arrived before the Grand Elder’s Immortal Cave and said, ”Elder, Disciple seeks an audience.”

Not long after, the Grand Elder’s tightly shut mountain gate opened.

From within, two Female Elders, their faces flushed and their spring tides not yet receded, actually walked out.

Ah, this?

”It seems I came at an inconvenient time. I’ve disturbed the Elder,” Xiao Fan said somewhat awkwardly. Thankfully, the Grand Elder had finished, otherwise, bumping into this might have given him erectile dysfunction.

The Grand Elder smiled and greeted Xiao Fan a few words, then sent his two Female Elders away.

I didn’t expect you, Grand Elder, to be so refined, yet you’re this kind of person. How detestable!

Then he said to Xiao Fan:

”Hehe, I was discussing the Dao with the two Elders, and when we reached an exciting point, our faces couldn’t help but flush. Saint, please don’t misunderstand.”

”No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding.”

Faces flushed when aroused? Makes sense.

Xiao Fan: ”The Dao of Yin and Yang blending like milk and water is a great Dao of the world. I understand, I understand.”

The Grand Elder waved his hand, carrying Xiao Fan away, and they landed inside the Holy Land’s palace.

It seemed that by changing locations, the previous incident had never happened.

Grand Elder: ”May I ask what matter the Saint has for me?”

”It’s like this: I’ve retrieved the devil subduing divine sword. The thief who stole the sword has been slain by me. Today, I specifically came to return the precious sword to the Holy Land.”

Saying this, he took out the Sharp Weapon he had recovered from Qin Feng and handed it to the Grand Elder.

”The Saint is truly exceptionally capable. I gathered so many Disciples to go out, yet none were able to capture the thief,” the Grand Elder took it and put it away.

”However, the Demonic Cave’s Devilish Qi has settled, and a new Dao Artifact has been used to suppress it. This devil subduing divine sword, you can use it, Saint.”

The Grand Elder said righteously.

”Huh?” Xiao Fan couldn’t help himself. This... a High Grade Dao Artifact, just given to me.

No, I’m just a Golden Core nobody. Even if you gave me a Treasure Artifact, I could barely understand it.

Seeing Xiao Fan’s hesitation, the Grand Elder continued, ”The Saint’s abilities are outstanding; you are worthy of this devil subduing divine sword.”

Looking at his serious face, Xiao Fan seemed to understand something.

This isn’t about outstanding ability; this is clearly hush money for catching the Grand Elder in his dual... no, triple cultivation.

”Grand Elder, food and sex are human nature. I won’t speak of your private matters.”

”Cough, cough...”

Xiao Fan: ”No, what I mean is, I didn’t see anything.”

The Grand Elder was a bit embarrassed. Thousands of years of Righteous Path image, and he occasionally enjoyed himself, and this happened.

My whole life has been one of immortal demeanor and Daoist bones; I cannot let it all be in vain.

The two were at a stalemate; it seemed that if Xiao Fan didn’t accept the Grand Elder’s gift, he wouldn’t feel at ease.

Xiao Fan also felt he needed to reassure the Grand Elder.

”How about this, Grand Elder? You can have the Elder of the Stipend Pavilion send the new Saintess more Spirit Stones, Spiritual Plants, and Spirit Medicine every month. I heard she wants to learn Alchemy; can she be arranged to study with the Alchemy Elder in the Alchemy Pavilion?”

”She also wants to learn Artifact Refining and Formation. It would be even better if those could be arranged as well.”

She was his woman after all; he had to arrange some benefits for her.

The Grand Elder’s eyes lit up. This kid, so concerned about the Saintess, could it be that they have something going on?

How sharp were the Grand Elder’s eyes? Just a glance at Xiao Fan’s eyes, and he saw that his primal Yang was lost.

It seems we are people of the same Dao.

The Grand Elder beamed, guaranteeing, ”What’s difficult about that? She is, after all, our Holy Land’s Saintess. How about this: I’ll have the Alchemy Pavilion, the Artifact Pavilion, and those few old immortals who are proficient in Formation serve as the Saintess’s instructors?”

Old immortals? The Grand Elder’s way of speaking was truly unique.

Xiao Fan: ”That would be best. Then this sword?”

Grand Elder: ”I also have some understanding of the Saintess’s background. She needs a Sharp Weapon to protect herself. I think this devil subduing divine sword is quite suitable.”

Xiao Fan gave the Grand Elder a mental thumbs-up. You understand me.

After much beating around the bush, Xiao Fan returned to the main topic.

”Grand Elder, I recently had a sudden Epiphany, and my cultivation has advanced rapidly. I’m preparing to form my Nascent Soul.”

The Grand Elder thought it was something else and said indifferently, ”So that’s it. You’re actually going to form your Nascent Soul... now?”

But the next moment, he seemed to realize something and involuntarily let out a gasp.

”Wait, you said you’re going to form your Nascent Soul?”

His gaze was long, and his Divine Sense spread out, observing Xiao Fan’s cultivation, which was solid and profound, without any instability, indicating a deep Foundation.

He suddenly felt his brain wasn’t quite keeping up.

”Um, you entered the Holy Land half a year ago, and you were only at the Golden Core Stage - Initial Stage then, right? I understand that you had been accumulating for several years before, and entered Golden Core Middle Stage two months ago.”

”But you suddenly reached Golden Core Late Stage, and now you’re telling me you’re forming your Nascent Soul. Isn’t this too fast?”

”Fast?”

”It’s alright,” Xiao Fan said indifferently.

With the Chronospace Codex in hand, I estimate I can reach Soul Transformation at thirty and Mahayana at a hundred is not a dream.

However, this was his secret, and he wouldn’t speak of it.

The Grand Elder looked at Xiao Fan with the eyes of someone looking at a monster. After a long while, he slowly said, ”Indeed, the Holy Lord truly has the Wisdom Eye to recognize talent, knowing that the Saint is a Dragon among men.”

”Go prepare. I’ll have an Elder protect you during your Undergoing Tribulation.”

”Yes.”

”Oh, and take this.” The Grand Elder threw a pile of transmission talismans to Xiao Fan.

”Grand Elder, what is this for?”

”Cough, cough, well, next time you need to find me, contact me first. Don’t just come directly. You need to give me some time to prepare,” the Grand Elder said seriously.

”Understood.”

”Good that you know. Go on.”

Xiao Fan left, heading to the Holy Land’s dedicated place for Undergoing Tribulation: Fei Xian Platform.
