Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate-Chapter 340: Stepping Into Transcendence

Whoosh!

A swirling vortex appeared in the sky, like an upside-down whirlpool stretching into another world.

Mo Hao’s eyes lit up with interest. "Ah, a Cave Heaven spatial channel! Owning your own Cave Heaven is quite impressive, Daoist friend Jiang Chen." He smiled as he studied the portal.

Jiang Chen chuckled, shaking his head. "With your background, Daoist friend Mo Hao, something like this must be nothing special to you."

He wasn’t about to let Mo Hao’s flattery get to his head. He had to stay cautious. Mo Hao came from an extraordinary lineage—his family probably had several Cave Heavens of their own.

Getting too full of himself could end in humiliation.

Mo Hao’s smile didn’t fade, but his tone changed. "I used to have a Cave Heaven," he said, his eyes flashing coldly. "It’s not mine anymore, but trust me, I’ll take back everything that was once mine." Then, as if shaking off his dark thoughts, he let out a laugh and stepped into the swirling portal.

Jiang Chen turned to his newly subdued followers. "Zhu Zhihai will handle the arrangements for the rest of you," he ordered. "Spread out across the Immortal Martial Continent and secure key locations."

Without wasting time, he gathered the fallen Transcendence realm cultivators’ corpses and stepped into the portal himself.

Truth be told, he hadn’t planned to reveal the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven to Mo Hao. But considering it wasn’t exactly a well-kept secret on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, Mo Hao might have already known about it.

So instead of trying to hide it, Jiang Chen took a different approach—he invited Mo Hao in while secretly evacuating most of the Immortal Martial Continent’s population. That way, he removed a lot of potential targets for Mo Hao’s inevitable showboating.

As they moved through the spatial channel, the world around them suddenly shifted.

Mo Hao and Jiang Chen stepped into the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven, finding themselves in a massive headquarters built atop the ruins of Inheritance Peak.

This place was special. The Spiritual Qi from all over the Immortal Martial Continent flowed here, making it the most energy-rich location around. But since the spirit-gathering formation was still small and had only been active for a short time, the Spiritual Qi here was about the same as in the Purple Heaven Holy Land—not bad, but not overwhelming.

Jiang Chen gestured around them. "This is the most Spiritual Qi-rich area in the entire continent. I trust it’s up to your standards?"

Mo Hao chuckled. "More than enough. How could I be disappointed?"

Not that he really cared. Unlike other cultivators, he didn’t need dense Spiritual Qi to grow stronger. His system had already solved that problem for him.

Why spend years grinding away in cultivation when he could gain power just by showing off?

Under Jiang Chen’s guidance, Mo Hao was led to a grand palace sitting atop the ruins of Inheritance Peak. He strolled through the halls before picking a quiet, secluded chamber for himself.

As he sat down to meditate, a smirk played on his lips. Once I consolidate my realm, it’s time to find some people to impress!

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered with thought. He still hasn’t used some of the pills he traded for. Once he’s done cultivating, he’ll come out eager to show off and humiliate others. I won’t let him have that satisfaction.

Without another word, Jiang Chen stepped into his own nearby meditation chamber. It was time to go through his latest spoils.

At the top of the list? The corpses of four Transcendence realm cultivators!

With just a thought, he activated two of his Heaven-Defying Fate Changers: the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline and the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

In an instant, the four bodies dissolved into clouds of blood mist and glowing specks of energy, all rushing into Jiang Chen’s body like a raging tide.

The Wordless Heavenly Jade greedily absorbed the qi and blood, converting it into a massive surge of enlightening energy. At the same time, the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline merged the cultivation base of the fallen into his own, strengthening him from within.

Since reaching the Late-stage Dao Palace realm at the Immortal Martial Grand Assembly, Jiang Chen had already defeated Bo Lang and Shao Ji—two Middle-stage Transcendence realm experts. On top of that, he had taken down four Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivators, including Scarface.

And that wasn’t all. He had also wiped out several demons from the Dao Palace and Dao Comprehension realms.

Now, the cultivation power stored within his Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline had surged past ten percent, climbing to nearly fifteen.

At this point, he had gathered enough energy to break through.

I can step into the Transcendence realm now, Jiang Chen thought, his gaze sharp.

It’s time to shift my main cultivation to the Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra—Wan’er and Ning’er prepared it just for this moment.

The Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra was no ordinary technique. It could fuse with nearly any cultivation method, allowing for smooth and unstoppable progress through even higher realms.

Once he mastered it, he could take the next great leap in his path—advancing through the Primal Chaos realm, the Expanding Chaos realm, and ultimately reaching the peak of the Fourth Step—the legendary Primordial Chaos realm!

His expression turned serious. With a deep breath, he focused his mind and began absorbing the flawless insights provided by Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.

With his natural talent and guidance from two powerful Void Tribulation realm experts, Jiang Chen absorbed the teachings of the cultivation method at an astonishing pace.

And thanks to the Wordless Heavenly Jade, he could save a huge amount of enlightening energy, making the process even smoother.

Time passed as Jiang Chen, under the careful instruction of Shangguan Ning and Nangong Wan, dove deeper into the Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra. Before long, he grasped its core essence, gaining a solid foundation in the method’s profound teachings.

Days went by.

Step by step, he overcame every immediate hurdle within the cultivation method. Now, only the more advanced parts remained—ones that would require deep concentration and effort to fully master.

This was where the Wordless Heavenly Jade would shine.

After defeating Shao Ji and the other Transcendence realm cultivators, Jiang Chen had built up a massive reserve of enlightening energy.

Now was the perfect time to use it.

With the power of the Wordless Heavenly Jade, he rapidly refined his understanding and, at last, fully mastered the Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra!

With that done, it was time to move on. The first and second steps of the Cultivation Path were behind him. Now, the third step awaited—cultivating the Great Dao Immortal Body.

In the Dao Palace realm, a cultivator had already fused the Dao Core—filled with the deep mysteries of the Great Dao—into the very cells of their Dantian. This was the first step toward connecting with the Great Dao itself.

But breaking through to the Transcendence realm required more. The cultivator had to build on this foundation, spreading the power of the Great Dao throughout their entire body. This was the key to transcending their physical limits.

The first major requirement? Mastering the Five Elements Laws of the Great Dao—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Once a cultivator stepped into the Transcendence realm, they had to keep refining their body using special techniques. Bit by bit, every single cell would start merging with the Dao Core, just like the Dantian had before.

This crucial process paved the way for the next big breakthrough: the Nirvana Peering realm.

As the name suggested, this realm was the first true glimpse into Nirvana.

At this stage, the power of the Great Dao would spread into every part of the body, creating something known as the Complete Dao Palace Body.

Once this process was complete, the Great Dao Immortal Body was born.

This body was unlike anything before—it turned every inch of flesh, every meridian, into something as powerful as a Dantian. The cultivator’s Immortal Origin Power skyrocketed, and their control over the Great Dao deepened beyond measure.

But the journey didn’t stop there.

Next came the Nirvana Cleansing realm, the third stage of the Third Step of the Cultivation Path.

This realm was all about pushing the connection with the Great Dao even further. The goal? To comprehend forty-nine different laws of the Great Dao.

Once a cultivator reached this milestone, they could harness the Great Dao’s true power and step into the state of true Nirvana.

At this level, they weren’t just powerful—they became something more. They would be like a living extension of the Great Dao itself, completely in tune with the universe. Their aptitude would evolve past even Perfect Grade, reaching the rarest level of all—Peerless Grade.
