I Am the Fated Villain Chapter 1094

Chapter 1094: All the background characters appear, no one is innocent

In the midst of the divine city, a gathering of influential figures from various immortal sects and traditions sparked tremendous waves. The appearance of the Reincarnated Heaven Lord was like a signal, causing anxiety among the powerful forces of the upper realms. They had to bring forth individuals with profound backgrounds to a.s.sert their authority.

During this time, many of the younger generation found their radiance completely overshadowed. Because these figures of profound background had once shone brightly in their youth, and perhaps even more so, they had left enduring legends despite the pa.s.sage of countless years.

The divine city buzzed with excitement, with cultivators from all races bustling through its streets. Every palace and pavilion was filled with people engaged in discussions about the significant events unfolding in the upper realms in recent days. Occasionally, the rumbling of ancient wars.h.i.+ps echoed in the sky above.

Prominent figures from various races arrived, riding divine chariots, surrounded by divine light, and accompanied by the roars of auspicious beasts as they descended into the heart of the divine city. Among these dignitaries, the young powerhouses like the Six Crown King and the Jin Chan maintained a quiet demeanor, devoid of their previous sharpness and arrogance.

In the a.s.sembly of cultivators of the Buddhist Mountain, a benevolent-looking, white-eyebrowed old monk drew particular attention. He wore a tattered monk’s robe and held a dull prayer bead. Yet, his entire being seemed to exude an astonis.h.i.+ng sense of Buddhahood. Even the ordinary cultivators in his vicinity were influenced, becoming more serene.

Jin Chan silently followed behind him, showing immense respect for the white-eyebrowed old monk.

“Chana Ancient Buddha… is it not said that he pa.s.sed away sixty million years ago?”As soon as members of the older generation from other factions laid eyes on this elderly monk, their expressions abruptly s.h.i.+fted, almost as if they couldn’t believe it.

Chana Ancient Buddha, as they called him, was one of the very few individuals in the Buddhist Mountain worthy of the t.i.tle of Buddha, and the sight of him was exceedingly rare.

His comprehension of destiny, one of the six supernatural powers in Buddhism, had reached an incredible level.

What was destiny?

It meant having the ability to know the destinies and actions of oneself and all sentient beings in the Three Realms and the Six Paths for countless eons. In other words, the white-eyebrowed old monk could simply take one look and understand the actions and destinies of any cultivators or living being, possibly even foreseeing their past lives and future fates. It was an enigmatic and unfathomable ability that left people in awe.

Of course, such a power undoubtedly came at a significant cost, although the price varied from person to person.

“I never expected even the Chana Ancient Buddha to reappear. With his immense supernatural abilities, it’s likely that no secrets can remain hidden in this place,” remarked one elder.

“Perhaps we can finally root out the inheritor of the demonic arts this time. Those young supremes here in the divine city must be cautious and not reveal any suspicious intentions,” one cultivator remarked.

“This time, the divine city is truly a gathering of extraordinary talents. We still don’t know what kind of individuals will appear…” Various cultivators discussed fervently, their eyes filled with astonishment and incredulity.

Of course, many were also keeping an eye on the members of the Gu family, hoping to learn of Gu Changge’s whereabouts. After all, this divine city gathering was initiated by Gu Changge himself, yet he had not shown up, leaving many to speculate. Was there another plan or scheme behind his delay?

Boom!!

However, at that moment, in the eastern direction of the divine city, rolling clouds of dark magic suddenly appeared, resembling a ma.s.sive, all-encompa.s.sing fog that surged forward. Terrifying figures concealed within, with wings that shook the skies, emanated iridescent light, resembling ancient demons and fiends.

Among them, there was one particularly unique demon, a face covered of white hair, appearing to be in his early thirties, towering in stature, clad in ancient human clothing. His eyes were a stark gray, carrying endless age and wisdom, while above his head, a pair of jet-black horns stood out prominently.

He materialized with the surging demon clouds, appearing just outside the divine city like a domineering Demon King ruling over the world. The horrifying aura cascaded down, causing countless cultivators and beings within the divine city to tremble with fear and nearly prostrate themselves in that direction.

The white-eyebrowed old monk, who had just entered the city, also known as Chana Ancient Buddha, opened his previously narrowed eyes. There was a hint of surprise as he turned to look outside the Divine City.

“This fellow has also shown himself?” He smiled and spoke, seemingly familiar with the formidable Demon King outside the Divine City.

“Do you know that person, Ancient Buddha?” Jin Chan, standing beside Chana Ancient Buddha, asked with some curiosity.

Chana Ancient Buddha continued to smile as he replied, “Naturally, I know him. He is the famous Bull Demon King. Do not underestimate him.”

“One of his ancestors was related to the Forbidden Era…”

“Character of The Forbidden Era…” Jin Chan’s expression darkened. Anything related to the Forbidden Era was not to be taken lightly or discussed lightly.

The appearance of the Heavenly Demon King in front of the divine city likely had some connection to the Demon Mountain.(Ed Note, Heavenly Demon King is the respectful t.i.tle to some powerful demons.)

After all, the current lord of the Demon Mountain, the Red-Clothed Demoness, is truly a figure from the Forbidden Era, the one who escaped from the Demon Burying Abyss. Up to this point, even Jin Chan still had doubts that the resurgence of the Red-Clothed Demoness from the Demon Burying Abyss was actually orchestrated by Gu Changge. Anyway, the catastrophic confrontation against the Red-Clothed Demoness caused the fact that the Demon Mountain became the righteous cultivators’ public enemy.(Ed Note, Demon Mountain is the name of a force, Buddha Mountain is the same.)

During that time when they besieged the Red-Clothed Demoness, the various expert forces and traditions of the upper realms suffered heavy losses. Ultimately, it was the Buddh Mountain who had to compensate for many losses to quell the anger of the ma.s.ses.

Later, Jin Chan contemplated it carefully and came to the realization that there was undoubtedly some inexplicable connection between Gu Changge and the Red-Clothed Demoness. When the Divine Stone Conference was held in Kunwu City, the Red-Clothed Demoness appeared there and exchanged many cryptic words with Gu Changge.

“Amitabha, what secrets is Gu Changge hiding…”

“If, Chana Ancient Buddha, you were to meet Gu Changge, could you gain some insight? I can’t help but feel that he may bring endless calamities to the upper realm.”

Jin Chan clasped his hands together and sighed.

The momentary Chana Ancient Buddha did not respond to the question but merely looked kindly. His gaze suddenly deepened.

The arrival of the Demon Mountain’s people had made many cultivators in the divine city feel uneasy. After all, the figures concealed within the surging demon clouds were all renowned demons and ferocious leaders with fearsome reputations.

The Heavenly Bull Demon King had once struck terror into the hearts of immortal sects from various directions. Many people believed that he had already pa.s.sed away in this world, but unexpectedly, he had pledged allegiance to the Demon Mountain and came to partic.i.p.ate in this divine city gathering.

Three days quickly pa.s.sed, and the divine city continued to buzz with excitement. In an area filled with palaces and pavilions, where courtyards exuded tranquility, silver waterfalls cascaded, and the environment was elegant, many young supremes gathered for a small reunion, with the aroma of wine wafting through the air.

Numerous spiritual fruits glistened with a tempting radiance, and the surroundings were filled with the fragrance of spiritual flowers and herbs. A meandering stream flowed gently, emitting a misty and ethereal aura.

The environment here was extraordinary, located deep within the divine city. Those young supremes who could enter this place had no simple backgrounds; they were at least the true disciples or successors of renowned immortal sects.

At the entrance of the courtyard, numerous extraordinary mounts and attendants with formidable cultivation levels prostrated themselves, surpa.s.sing the ordinary younger generation outside by far.

“Brothers, do you think we’ll truly get to see the Reincarnated Heaven Lord this time, or is it all just a show of grandeur?” A somewhat plump-looking rich young man at the banquet, holding a folding fan, asked with a smile while lightly fanning himself.

His name was w.a.n.g Shun, and he was the young leader of the Wan Bao Business Alliance, a consortium of great wealth and commerce. Despite his seemingly carefree demeanor, he possessed astonis.h.i.+ng talents in the world of trade, with hardly anyone in his generation able to match his wealth. So, despite his modest cultivation, no one dared to underestimate him, as no one knew how many magical treasures and life-saving methods he possessed. Some even jokingly referred to him as the “Little Wan Bao Heavenly Monarch..”[Ed note: Wan Bao Business Alliance  is the name of the Business organization through which the cultivators got the cultivation resources by business transaction.]

“Since Young Master Changge dares to spread such news, it’s unlikely to be false unless he dares to deceive everyone.”

“The consequences of such deceit would likely be too much for him to bear.”

“I think the Reincarnated Heaven Lord is probably still in the world, just waiting for representatives from various sects to come and pay their respects to him.”

Another young supreme gently shook his head, displaying a profound understanding of the situation.

“Brother’s words make sense; I share the same opinion.”

At this moment, a mild and composed voice was heard from outside the courtyard. A refined-looking man with a transcendent demeanor entered. His presence drew the attention of many heavenly beauties in the vicinity.

The newcomer was Lan Yifei, the chosen one of the Dao Immortal Alliance.He had also come to the divine city on behalf of the Dao Immortal Alliance.

“Greetings, brother Lan.”

Seeing  Lan Yifei’s arrival, many young supremes in the area stood up, showing a more respectful and attentive demeanor. After all, he was undeniably one of the prominent figures among the younger generation, on par with individuals like the Six Crown King, the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, and the Jin Chan. Ordinary young supremes paled in comparison when standing before him.

Following  Lan Yifei’s appearance, the Six Crown King, Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, and others also arrived one after another. It seemed like they had coordinated their meet-up in advance, wanting to gather in this place. As a result, the other young supremes had to make room for them, moving to the edges of the gathering.

Surprisingly, w.a.n.g Shun, also known as the “Little Wan Bao Heavenly Monarch,” was quite curious and approached, seemingly interested in overhearing the conversation between the Six Crown King and the others.

The Wan Bao Business Alliance was one of the top merchant guilds in the Upper realms, and regardless of the faction or sects, they were usually given some face.

“I heard that the heir of the demonic arts is among you?” Just as Lan Yifei, the Six Crown King, and others were engaged in lively conversation, a voice interrupted.

A clear, icy voice rang out. Brilliant golden light shone from outside the courtyard, as if a resplendent sun was illuminating the path. A tall and exquisitely beautiful woman, dressed in golden armor, with flowing golden hair, and an aloof expression on her fair and delicate face, appeared. She exuded an aura of n.o.bility that made her seem unapproachable. It was Jiang Luoshen of the Supreme G.o.d Clan.

Upon receiving the news, she had also arrived at the scene to find the true inheritor of the demonic arts. As her gaze scanned the many young supremes in front of her, it seemed to carry a peculiar force, as if she could discern the real heir.

The arrival of Jiang Luoshen instantly brought silence to the area, and the other young supremes looked at her in astonishment.

“It’s just a rumor, isn’t it, Princess Luoshen?” At this moment, the Six Crown King, with a faint smile, broke the silence.

Jiang Luoshen’s golden eyes fell on him coldly and replied, “Rumor or not, it depends on the person.”

Her att.i.tude was quite arrogant and hostile.

“If Princess Luoshen doubts us, feel free to take action and test us,” the Six Crown King replied with a calm and composed tone.

Jiang Luoshen narrowed her beautiful eyes and fixed her gaze on him. However, with so many hidden talents and powerhouses in the divine city, she didn’t dare to be reckless and only snorted coldly.

“I heard that Princess Luoshen and Young Master Changge have some love history together. Is it possible that you’ve come here to defend his honor?”

“But it seems like you’ve mistaken the target. The true inheritor of the demonic arts is definitely not among us,” the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden chimed in with a faint smile, as if she had discerned Jiang Luoshen’s intentions.

Jiang Luoshen neither confirmed nor denied this, maintaining her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

Though she had been tortured by Gu Changge for a period of time before, based on her understanding of him, he had nothing to do with the inheritor of the demonic arts. The rumors suggesting Gu Changge was the heir seemed more like someone deliberately trying to pin the blame on him.

The recent incident involving Jin Yun’s fall of the Violet Sky Valley indirectly supported her perspective.

“After meeting  the Reincarnated Heaven Lord, I will invite the Chana Ancient Buddha to investigate everything clearly. By then, we will know who the real inheritor of the demonic arts is.”

“Princess Luoshen, could it be that you can’t wait even a few more days?” Jin Chan shook his head slightly and openly addressed the matter in front of everyone, no longer concealing it.

No further explanation was necessary regarding the profound mystique of the Chana Ancient Buddha. With his intervention, this matter could naturally be resolved effortlessly. Unless the heir of the demonic arts was so powerful that even the Insightful Chana Ancient Buddha couldn’t discern their ident.i.ty.

Upon hearing this, many of the young supremes in the courtyard were momentarily stunned, and some couldn’t react.

“Chana Ancient Buddha…”

However, Lan Yifei’s eyes seemed to brighten slightly as he suddenly thought of something. If the Chana Ancient Buddha could truly reveal Gu Changge’s true ident.i.ty, he would also be able to see that I am not acting of my own will before.

It seemed that there was a hidden path guiding him in this mysterious situation.

“Chana Ancient Buddha? Jin Chan, do you think that with him backing you, I would fear you? Regardless of which one of you is the inheritor of the demonic arts, I only knew that you were all involved in fanning the flames in recent times.”

Jiang Luoshen, on the other hand, seemed less concerned about it. There was a cold glint in her golden eyes, and her voice was icy. Her Supreme G.o.d Clan and many background figures came to Divine City at this time, so naturally, there was no need to be afraid of the Chana Ancient Buddha. Her focus was not so much on who the inheritor of the demonic arts was but on the injustices and slander that Gu Changge had endured recently. To her, none of the young supremes present were innocent in this matter.
