I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 1696

CHAPTER 1629: GATHERING OF FORCES, THE DELEGATION DEPARTS.

Ji Gui Chen nodded slightly, took the list in his hand, glanced through it, and after a moment of quiet contemplation, said, “That’s possible. Those few have decent talent and firm, unwavering character. If they can achieve anything in the open sea this time, I will teach them the cultivation method for condensing the Thirteenth Layer of the Mind Tower.”

Hearing this, the maid’s eyes lit up with anticipation. Currently, within the sect, only the cultivation method for condensing the ninth layer of the Mind Tower was passed down, and only these few branch leaders, those who had made great contributions, could obtain it. Like her, because she was Ji Gui Chen’s personal maid, she was able to receive it early.

The other branch leaders had all contributed significantly to the sect’s development over the years, earning Ji Gui Chen’s appreciation and respect. However, regarding the method of condensing the Thirteenth Layer of the Mind Tower, Ji Gui Chen has not yet taught it to anyone.

“As long as one can condense the Thirteenth Layer of the Mind Tower, they can even rival the supreme shatterers, or even those beings who once obtained the authority of the Heavenly Dao…” The maid’s heart burned with desire. At her current level, her craving for power was immense. Her

own cultivation of mind power relied on a strong will and ambition… Deep within the Punishing Heaven Alliance, in the central hall. Gu Chang Ge stood still

. High-ranking officials from various True Realms and super-multiverse forces had already dispatched their respective personnel, preparing the selection for this delegation to the sea. Even the Lord of Eternity had summoned many people, including his disciple Li Qing Xu, and Feng Yu Qiu and others. On the other side of the Nine Heavens, the imprisoned masters and co-masters all appeared. Each of them summoned their most trusted disciples, each at least at the Ancestral Dao realm level. Looking across the vast world, they are undoubtedly top-tier figures. For example, from the Wei Yang Immortal Dynasty, Wei Yang Emperor, along with Jiang Mu Yang and many other young faces, appeared and waited outside the main hall. In addition, Ji Han Jing, the former Princess of Yao Guang Ancestral Court, who hadn’t appeared for a long time, also made an appearance. From the Hi Yuan civilization, the Hi Yuan Saintess personally led the way. As for the Nightmare Demon Realm, although Wu Yue didn’t personally appear, she dispatched several chief priests. The girl A Li 19, who once rode on a snow-white true form, also arrived with a long bow, as did Zhu Xuan, the young man who had once bowed to Nan Qing. “Lord, the delegation of candidates has now basically arrived in full.”

The high-ranking members of the Punishing Heaven Alliance stepped forward. Gu Changge nodded slightly, glancing over the burning, surging gazes of those present. Judging from the wind that rose before him, almost all the True Realm civilizations considered this exploration of the ocean as a heaven-sent opportunity.

He said little, merely waving his hand lightly. The void before him immediately vibrated violently, as if endless chaotic True Thunder was being nurtured within. Thunder rumbled, various substances surged, finally transforming into countless shimmering tokens, like celestial maidens scattering flowers, flying out in streams of light and floating before everyone.

“What is this?”

The high-ranking members of the Punishing Heaven Alliance were initially stunned, then quickly realized that these were the Life Tokens Gu Changge had personally crafted. They hurriedly stepped forward to catch the flying tokens.

“This is the Life Token. This time, venturing into the vast ocean, dangers abound. With this Life Token, you can protect your lives in the darkness. If the Life Token shatters, it signifies your complete demise.”

Gu Changge said calmly.

As he finished speaking, a violent tremor resounded in the void before them. A towering monument, radiating boundless light, emerged from the ground, rising from the void, then solidifying on the ground, standing there majestically. All

living beings in the great hall gazed at the towering monument, feeling the boundless power it contained. Each strand of Dao runes flowed within it; it was a realm beyond their current comprehension.

This further terrified everyone; this was merely a casually crafted stele by Gu Changge, yet it surpassed any other treasure in this world. Soon, as the high-ranking officials distributed the tokens, the group of envoys busily refined their respective blood essences into their Life Tokens. The names, cultivation levels, and other information of each candidate gradually appeared on the Heaven-Connecting Stone Tablet.

“With this Heaven-Connecting Stone Tablet, we can clearly know how many people will survive after entering the ocean this time.”

“Could it really be fraught with danger?”

“However, since the Alliance Leader has already bestowed Life Tokens, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Initially, there was considerable anxiety among the higher echelons, as they were somewhat confused, filled with doubt and caution. However, things had come to this point, and there was no room for regret; they could only hope to minimize losses. After all, the delegation dispatched to the open sea this time consisted basically of the core young talents from various super-multiverses and the True Realm. While the situation in the Vast Expanse of the Worlds appeared peaceful, in reality, the competition was extremely fierce. These core young talents represented future hope. If they wanted to seize a share of the spoils before the “unification” situation arose, they absolutely had to ensure these core young talents matured rapidly. Without the threat of the Land of Reality, the Vast Expanse of the Worlds would easily revert to the previous state of relentless internal conflict. The current peacefulness was merely a facade.

At this moment, outside the boundless void of the grand hall, numerous ancient, crimson-bronze warships were already hovering in the sky.

They contained incredibly terrifying power, with strands of supreme radiance flowing within them, representing the Immortal Law, capable of traversing freely through space-time dimensions and traversing the boundless void of the universe.

Even an Ancestor Dao realm existence, under a full-force attack, would find it difficult to damage these ancient warships. The radiance flowing within them would shock even a Lu Jin-level figure.

These were the means by which the Punishing Heaven Alliance’s delegation traveled to the open sea.

Soon, under the leadership of the Punishing Heaven Alliance’s high-ranking officials, many young core talents flocked to these ancient warships. The void within vibrated violently, and pitch-black spacetime tunnels appeared, radiating in all directions across the universe. Many fragments of the universe could be vaguely seen drifting within.

Amidst the whirring sounds, these ancient warships sped along, creating a great commotion, carrying with them vast chaotic energy, accompanied by the fluttering banners of the Heaven Punishing Alliance, as if proclaiming to the world—a proclamation.

Gu Changge stood still in the main hall, watching as each ancient warship entered the spacetime tunnel and quickly disappeared, his expression filled with interest. The high-ranking members of the Heaven Punishing Alliance also stood in the main hall, watching this scene with varying emotions. This was only the beginning; what they would encounter on their journey to the open sea remained an unknown.

Then, inside the main hall, a bright moon hung high, like an ancient mirror appearing there, illuminating the entire universe. The ancient warships that had just vanished in the space-time tunnel reappeared clearly within it, each warship’s situation vividly recreated, reflected in everyone’s eyes.
