I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

The corpse of the saint, Ye Changsheng’s great strengthYe Changsheng forgot his troubles and immersed himself in the joy of acquiring the Floating Life Immortal Sword.

He had originally intended to lie low and only emerge after the matter of White Tiger Star Lord had faded from memory.

However, he was conflicted, fearing that all the treasures outside would be taken by others.

“The fact that I found an Opportunity just by entering a random cave indicates that the Battleground Forbidden Land is full of Opportunities everywhere. If I hide, all those Opportunities will fall into the hands of others.”

With this thought, he felt he had to set off and continue his treasure hunt.

“I’ll just change my appearance and use a disguise.”

“I only showed my face briefly at the time, so no one should remember me.”

After devising a plan, he immediately acted.

Ye Changsheng changed his attire and continued his journey.

He told himself that fortune favors the bold; in this world, the daring thrive, and the timid starve.

The reason he, a grown man, had become so powerful was because he wasn’t afraid of death and was willing to fight.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve taken a risk. Every time before, I’ve safely made it through, and this time will be no exception.”

Whoosh~

A stream of light took flight, and the person vanished.

...

...

Wherever Xiao Fan and his group passed, there was no one.

There was no other way; White Tiger Star Lord’s oppressive aura was too strong. Just seeing his figure from afar was enough to scare people away, so no one dared to snatch the Opportunities along this path.

Those Prodigy Disciples were also sensible; after learning the direction of Xiao Fan and his group, they simply changed their path to avoid encountering them.

Miao Xiaoqing fiddled with her treasure-hunting compass, continuously scouring the land for resources.

“Master, there’s a treasure in that direction.”

“Go.” Xiao Fan said with a smile.

“As you command.” Miao Xiaoqing excitedly rushed out, filled with immense joy.

Xiao Fan kicked White Tiger Star Lord, telling him to follow along to clear the path and help carry things.

White Tiger Star Lord dared not disobey and scurried over, never imagining that one day he would be reduced to doing manual labor.

NanGong XiMeng stood to his right, her soft hand tracing his arm as she linked her arm through his.

Chen Miaoli, on his left, linked her arm through his left arm, unwilling to be outdone.

There was no other way; the pressure NanGong XiMeng exerted on her was too strong.

NanGong XiMeng was a lady from a prominent family, a favored daughter of heaven, a goddess in the eyes of the world, unattainable and only to be admired from afar.

Chen Miaoli truly hadn’t expected NanGong XiMeng to display such a demure, feminine demeanor in front of Xiao Fan, and she deeply understood the destructive power of such an attitude.

If she didn’t perform well, she might very well be marginalized among the Master’s group of women.

Though Xiao Fan was embraced on both sides, he remained composed.

After all, he hadn’t actively requested this; they had taken the initiative to cling to him.

“Xiao Fan.” NanGong XiMeng’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked up at him from the side and spoke.

“Hmm, what’s wrong?” He smiled as he looked at NanGong XiMeng.

NanGong XiMeng said, “It’s just, after the Battleground Forbidden Land concludes, can you come home with me?”

“Of course.” Xiao Fan said, “Meeting the parents and all that is only right.”

NanGong XiMeng’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she said softly:

“It’s not that.”

“Around that time, it will be my father’s one millionth birthday. I haven’t been back in a long time, and I want to take this Opportunity to go back and see my father.”

“That’s even better. I can also pay my respects to my future father-in-law.” Xiao Fan said with a smile.

“Speaking of which, should I prepare any gifts? The first visit is somewhat important.”

“No need to trouble yourself; just your presence is enough.”

“Besides, your coming with me is the best gift.”

NanGong XiMeng smiled sweetly, her gentle and serene smile, as pure as jade, made Xiao Fan feel a spring breeze caressing his face.

Everything was beautiful.

“Sister Miao Li, we are all family now, you should come back with me too.” NanGong XiMeng then said to Chen Miaoli.

“I’ll do whatever Master says.” Chen Miaoli smiled lightly, pursing her lips.

“Then let’s all go together.”

“Okay.”

The three chatted and laughed, while Miao Xiaoqing had already used her compass to thoroughly collect all the treasures.

She excitedly rushed back, reporting her gains to Xiao Fan and handing over all the treasures she had collected to him.

Xiao Fan pushed them back to her, telling her to keep them.

“Just keep them for your own use.”

“Thank you for the Master’s generosity, meow.”

She knew Xiao Fan didn’t care for them, but this step couldn’t be skipped.

She still needed to know her place; only then would Master like her little cat.

The group continued forward, scavenging for treasures.

...

...

“Hahahaha, indeed, only the bold can get rich!”

Ye Changsheng laughed uncontrollably. He had only flown out for less than half a day when he was enveloped by a transparent light curtain and dragged into it.

This greatly alarmed him, making him think he had fallen into some deadly trap.

But when he understood the situation, he only felt incredibly lucky!

“I never expected that place just now to be the fallen land of Skull Bone Saint.”

Yes, he had accidentally stumbled into the fallen land of a Saint!

A Saint, how precious.

The fall of a Saint, he couldn’t even imagine such a thing.

But he had indeed seen the Saint’s remains.

“That Skull Bone Saint was unlucky enough to be struck down and have his Saintly Position taken from him.”

“That move, Eternal Heavenly Song, was so powerful it didn’t seem like it belonged to an Immortal. Even across eons, I can still feel its vast pressure as if I were there.”

Ye Changsheng said with emotion.

He had accidentally entered the light curtain, which turned out to be a shattered fragment of time, recording the entire process of Skull Bone Saint’s fall.

In the scene, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal named Eternal stood with his hands behind his back, holding a supreme Demon God Great Saber.

Facing the vast heavenly might and the disdain of the Saint descending like heaven itself, Ye Changsheng felt his breathing become difficult, even through the light curtain.

But this feeling, as if the sky were collapsing, could not make that Saint-slaying Grand Unity Golden Immortal bow.

On the contrary, his figure appeared even more sharp, seemingly like a supreme great saber, cutting through Yin and Yang, dawn and dusk.

In the scene recorded by this fragment, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal named Eternal was supremely confident.

He battled Skull Bone Saint for ten thousand years.

And finally, with one move, Eternal Heavenly Song, he completely dragged Skull Bone Saint from his Saintly Position and took his place!

Becoming a Saint!

Ye Changsheng found it truly unimaginable what level of Genius it would take for an Immortal to seize a Saintly Position.

If he had only witnessed this battle, Ye Changsheng would have simply exclaimed in admiration and moved on.

But behind this light curtain also lay the remains of Skull Bone Saint—though it was only a severed arm.

But this was the skeletal remains of a Saint!

Even if it were just a single strand of hair, it could absolutely not be compared to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Though Skull Bone Saint was dead, he was once a Saint. If this severed arm could be refined, then he could simulate the might of a Saint!

“It’s good that he died; it benefits me.”

Ye Changsheng focused on refining the severed arm. The wisps of Holy Intention within it greatly benefited him.

Not only that, he also discovered residual Saint blood Qi in the severed arm!

Although the blood Qi was less than one in ten thousand, anything that touched the word “Saint” was absolutely a supreme treasure.

He immediately chose to refine it. This Saint blood Qi had long lost consciousness, leaving only pure power.

He spent less than three months to completely refine it.

This caused his cultivation to skyrocket, reaching the Middle Stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Not only that, the Saint blood Qi and Saint skeletal remains shared the same origin. Now he could act as he pleased, as if controlling his own arm!

“I can summon a wisp of Holy Intention; against others, it’s simply a dimensionality reduction strike.”

“I’m rich!”

If Ye Changsheng had still been afraid and wanted to act discreetly just now.

Then the current Ye Changsheng was absolutely overflowing with confidence.

Looking across the vast Battleground Forbidden Land, who was still his opponent?!

Who else?!

Even White Tiger Star Lord wouldn’t do!

“Collecting things by myself is too slow.”

“Anyway, my strength is sufficient; I’ll just directly rob those Prodigies.”

He was just about to act when suddenly, a vast, ethereal, boundless Demonic Qi surged towards him.

This familiar aura made Ye Changsheng’s heart stir.

“White Tiger Star Lord!”

“Good, I was just about to look for you, and you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep.”

“Be my mount.”

Ye Changsheng thought confidently, and rushed towards the direction of the Demonic Qi.

He couldn’t let that beast escape!
