Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 69: All These Efforts Had Not Been for Naught

"Hmph!"

"Although Jiang Chen's words may hold some truth, the foundation of his argument lies in the authenticity of his ability to detect spiritual plants!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't we simply be aimlessly wandering while following him?"

"Opportunities would surely elude us in such a situation!"

A male disciple of average appearance snorted coldly, clearly a highly skeptical individual.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"I believe Jiang Chen is fabricating the truth. Throughout my life, I've never come across any talent that enables one to detect spiritual plants!"

"Even those possessing Medicinal Spirit Bodies can only vaguely sense the presence of spiritual plants when in close proximity."

A disciple hailing from Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain stepped forward and expressed his disdain.

The Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain harbored a deep resentment towards Jiang Chen.

Not only had Jiang Chen thwarted their schemes, but he might have also acquired the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records.

Their animosity towards Jiang Chen ran deep and intense.

Given the chance, they would gladly tear Jiang Chen to shreds!

If an alliance were formed, what justification would remain for eliminating Jiang Chen?

"Jiang Chen!"

"In my view, you should simply demonstrate your capability!"

"Once verified, I shall represent the Azure Jade Sect in giving our consent!"

The chief disciple of the Azure Jade Sect, a somewhat weary-looking young man, chimed in.

"Yes!"

"Jiang Chen, come on, demonstrate your abilities!"

Mu Tao, the chief disciple of the Floating Spirit Sect, nodded at Jiang Chen, signaling encouragement.

"Very well, let everyone witness my prowess."

Jiang Chen's lips curved into a smile. He then closed his eyes and directed his right hand towards the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade!

Instantly.

The Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade flipped over, its flame-like patterns quivering subtly.

In fact, this was an additional function of the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade, enabling the extension of one's divine sense!

Jiang Chen executed this maneuver.

Firstly, to create a deceptive appearance and mask his Burning World Red Lotus.

Secondly, to enhance his divine sense's reach and boost the chances of locating spiritual plants.

Certainly.

The Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade was exclusively a treasure for those in the Spiritual Awakening realm.

Additionally, its primary purpose was to refine divine sense.

In comparison, the capability to extend divine sense was considerably weaker, with the amplification range limited to a mere one-fifth.

Moreover, upon expansion.

The overall coverage of the divine sense and the precision of observation would be substantially diminished.

Consequently.

Jiang Chen had never utilized this function before.

Now, however, it could serve a valuable purpose.

With the enhancement of divine sense, the spiritual plant detection ability provided by the Burning World Red Lotus would be significantly amplified.

The two abilities complemented each other, enabling Jiang Chen to sense spiritual plants within a five-kilometer radius!

At that moment.

As Jiang Chen executed this maneuver, the dark flame-like pattern on his forehead captured everyone's attention.

"What is that flame-like pattern?"

"Previously, Senior Brother Jiang Chen didn't have this mark on his forehead. It must be another fortunate encounter he had during his descent from the mountain. How envious!"

"..."

Duan Ziming and the others were all deceived by Jiang Chen, not to mention the cultivators from other sects.

"That black flame is his treasure!"

"Can it genuinely detect spiritual plants?"

"In my view, it's likely accurate. I'm somewhat thrilled, perhaps later we might find a Heavenly Origin realm spiritual plant!"

"The outcome hasn't emerged yet, don't celebrate prematurely!"

"The higher the expectation, the greater the potential disappointment!"

"..."

The cultivators from other sects engaged in conversation, all fixated on Jiang Chen.

At this moment.

"I've found it!"

"I won't bother mentioning the low-level spiritual plants."

"To the east of Ice Heart School, just over a thousand steps away, lies a cave concealing a multitude of Spiritual Awakening realm plants - the Thirteen-Leaf Fragrant Flowers!"

"North of Floating Spirit Sect, hidden beneath an inconspicuous boulder, resides a Mysterious Platform realm Thousand-Legged Spirit Stem!"

"Regrettably, I couldn't locate any Heavenly Origin realm spiritual plants. I'll need to change locations for that."

After sensing, Jiang Chen reported his findings.

He held nothing back.

To him, these spiritual plants held little value.

More importantly.

His primary concern was confronting Ye Fan!

Allowing Ye Fan to develop according to the original plot for the sake of minor gains would be catastrophic!

"So quickly!?"

"This Jiang Chen is truly adept!"

"Let's go! Let's see if it's true!"

"I don't believe it. We from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain also want to go and verify! I want to expose his deception!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too! If it turns out to be true, it would be fantastic to snatch some!"

"..."

Instantly, a considerable number of people, exhibiting varying levels of doubt, made their way toward the location specified by Jiang Chen.

They moved with astonishing speed.

If it were true, a vast number of spiritual plants suitable for those in the Spiritual Awakening realm would be available!

And those Mysterious Platform realm spiritual plants, even their sect masters would regard them as treasures!

Before long,

The two swiftest individuals managed to seize the spiritual plants.

They were the chief disciples of Floating Spirit School and Ice Heart School, Mu Tao and Miao Xiaorui.

Their sects were already situated relatively close to the spiritual plants, making them the first to reap the benefits.

"What?!"

"Could it be true?!"

"Jiang Chen truly possesses the ability to sense spiritual plants in his surroundings!"

"Sigh, I'm envious. If I had such a gift, I'd surely venture alone to claim all the spiritual plants for myself!"

"You're naive. The Cave Heaven secret realm is treacherous; you'd likely meet your end after gathering only a few spiritual plants!"

"Indeed. Jiang Chen made the wisest decision. His unique ability to sense spiritual plants ensures he contributes the most and reaps the greatest rewards. Inadvertently, we've become his protectors. His strategic thinking is truly impressive!"

"..."

Astonishment rippled through the crowd, and many gazed at Jiang Chen with newfound admiration.

As for the people of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, their eyes widened in disbelief!

"How can this be?!"

"Even possessing a Medicinal Spirit Body, accomplishing such a feat is challenging!"

"Directly sensing those far-off spiritual plants is truly astonishing!"

"It all stems from that black flame within his brow. That power should belong to our Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain!"

"Indeed. Our Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain excels in the arts of healing and alchemy. That treasure would be put to good use in our hands!"

"..."

The people of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain discussed the matter, their voices filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

At that moment,

"These spiritual plants cater to the Spiritual Awakening and Mysterious Platform realms."

"Should I come across spiritual plants for the Heavenly Origin realm, I could detect them even more rapidly!"

"Now, esteemed geniuses of various sects, choosedo you wish to ally with our Starry Abyss Sect?"

Jiang Chen surveyed everyone, his smile radiant as he spoke with confidence.

"We, the Floating Spirit Sect, consent to join forces with the Starry Abyss Sect!"

"We, the Ice Heart School, also concur in allying with the Starry Abyss Sect!"

"The Azure Jade Sect stands in agreement as well!"

"We, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain... acquiesce!"

Following this series of proclamations, all four sects in proximity to the Starry Abyss Sect conveyed their eagerness to unite their efforts!

Abruptly!

[Ding! You have successfully altered the plot, leading the protagonist Ye Fan to miss certain opportunities. Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value has diminished by 800 points!]

[Ding! You have accrued 1500 points of Villain Value!]

'Incredible!'

'The plot has shifted!'

'And Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value has decreased significantly! I've accumulated so many Villain Value points!'

'It appears that after this plot alteration, Ye Fan has indeed lost a considerable number of opportunities!'

Upon hearing the system notifications, Jiang Chen was initially taken aback, but then a wave of elation washed over him.

All these efforts had not been for naught!
