Incredibly fast!
Jiang Chen's gaze zeroed in on a robe!
The Carefree Heavenly Extreme Robe!
An upper-grade defensive artifact for the Heavenly Origin realm!
This was also a robe that could be upgraded with materials!
Furthermore, this robe could store energy in advance, so when utilized for defense, it consumed less Yuan Power.
Therefore, even though it was an upper-grade artifact of the Heavenly Origin realm, Jiang Chen could still manage the Yuan Power consumption.
As for the price...
Two thousand six hundred Villain Value points!
"System, exchange it for me!"
[Ding! You have spent 2,600 Villain Value points, successfully exchanging for the Carefree Heavenly Extreme Robe*1!]
The system prompt resounded.
A pristine white robe materialized inside the Moondust Ring.
The robe was consistently snow-white, but upon closer examination, one could discern subtle silver patterns on it, rendering it both enigmatic and luxurious.
'With the defensive power of the Carefree Heavenly Extreme Robe.'
'Ordinary Mysterious Platform realm cultivators wouldn't be able to breach my defense; only by joining forces and relying on long-term attrition to deplete my energy could they possibly exhaust my Yuan Power and shatter my defense.'
'If I encounter an expert at the Heavenly Origin realm, depending on the energy I've previously accumulated and my continuous supply of power, I should be able to withstand them for a brief period.'
'Indeed, with this defensive artifact, my journey to the Cave Heaven secret realm will be considerably safer.'
'However, I mustn't lower my guard; after all, I'm destined to cross paths with the protagonist this time!'
'I just don't know in what guise of a villain I will emerge this time.'
'...'
Jiang Chen's thoughts raced chaotically within his heart.
At this moment,
Sect Master Feng Jun, along with several elders and hall masters, commenced the distribution of medicinal pills and other resources.
The competition for opportunities within the Cave Heaven secret realm was crucial to the future of the entire Starry Abyss sect.
As a result,
The sect had invested significantly!
For instance, the medicinal pills.
Each disciple was granted a substantial amount of healing pills, recovery pills, and several other types of pills.
These included high-level detoxification pills, poison pills, and temporary self-destructive secret medicines to enhance strength!
An abundance of various medicines was available.
Upon receiving the medicinal pills personally handed to him by Feng Jun, Jiang Chen was astonished to discover that there was even a bottle of aphrodisiac!
It appeared they were prepared to utilize any means necessary!
"Esteemed disciples!"
"We have seven days remaining before we arrive at the location of the Cave Heaven secret realm."
"During this time, if you have any questions, please feel free to consult with us or engage in discussions amongst yourselves."
After the distribution of the medicinal pills, Feng Jun declared.
Upon hearing this,
Everyone's faces beamed with joy.
With all the prominent figures of the sect assembled, it presented an excellent opportunity to seek advice on cultivation matters!
"Disciple has a question for the Method Transmission Hall Master!"
A disciple promptly stepped forward, articulated his cultivation method-related inquiry, and sought guidance.
Shortly,
He retreated, satisfied with the response he received.
The remaining disciples followed suit, coming forward one after another.
"Sect Master,"
"Disciple has a request!"
Jiang Chen seized the chance to approach Feng Jun.
Only a fool would pass up such a favorable opportunity!
"Jiang Chen, please proceed!"
Feng Jun responded with a warm smile.
"Disciple has already cultivated the 'Void Rainbow Sword Technique' to the perfect level of the sixth layer."
"Originally, the final three layers necessitate a formal request to obtain the true inheritance for instruction, but given the current urgency, might it be possible to expedite the process?"
Jiang Chen gazed at Feng Jun expectantly, speaking in a soft tone.
In truth, he desired spiritual plants but couldn't devise a suitable justification.
He could only attempt to acquire the Void Rainbow Sword Technique.
"This matter..."
"Absolutely not!"
"By principle, only true disciples are eligible to receive the complete Void Rainbow Sword Technique, unless they have made significant contributions!"
"Jiang Chen, you're becoming increasingly careless. Come here, I need to have a serious discussion with you!"
Feng Jun chastised him with a stern countenance, then proceeded towards the interior of the spirit boat.
"Yes!"
"Disciple acknowledges his mistake!"
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered, and with a resigned expression, he trailed behind Feng Jun.
Within the spirit boat's cabin.
The moment Jiang Chen stepped in,
Feng Jun swiftly turned to face him, presenting a jade slip and a secret key while declaring, "These are the sect's rules. As your punishment, return and copy them ten thousand times!"
"Understood!"
"This disciple is willing to copy them a hundred thousand times!"
Jiang Chen echoed the sentiment with fervor. Beaming, he offered a respectful bow to Feng Jun, accepted the jade slip and secret key, and promptly exited the cabin.
No sooner had he left the cabin,
Than the gazes of fellow disciples converged upon him!
"What are you all staring at!"
"Has no one seen someone receive punishment before?"
Jiang Chen surveyed the crowd, speaking as his eyes darted about in a frenzy.
"Ow!"
"Owo!"
"Oh~~~!"
The other disciples exchanged glances, their eyes suddenly alight with gratitude!
Immediately afterward,
A line formed at the cabin entrance as disciples eagerly awaited their punishment.
"The sect master is truly a benevolent figure!"
Jiang Chen lifted the jade slip, activated the secret key, and delved into its contents using his divine sense. Unsurprisingly, it contained the final three layers of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique.
"Mm."
"Rules are but lifeless constraints."
"At this critical juncture for our sect's future, the sect master prioritizes the greater good rather than adhering rigidly to the rules. He is, indeed, a commendable leader."
The head disciple, Duan Ziming, approached Jiang Chen, a warm smile gracing his features.
Previously, he hadn't paid much heed to Jiang Chen.
However, in recent days, having observed Jiang Chen, he found himself inexplicably drawn to this junior brother.
"Haha."
"With you as the future sect master, our Starry Abyss Sect will surely ascend to unprecedented heights."
Sensing Duan Ziming's amicable intentions, Jiang Chen responded with a hearty laugh and encouraging words.
"Me, the sect master?"
"Impossible!"
"Let's not discuss that matter. Here are some insights I've gleaned on the Void Rainbow Sword Technique. You may use them as reference, junior brother."
Duan Ziming dismissed the notion, then offered Jiang Chen a jade slip.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Duan!"
Jiang Chen gratefully accepted the jade slip, his smile unwavering.
"You're welcome. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to seek me out."
Duan Ziming returned the smile and shook his head before turning to depart.
'Having acquired the final three layers of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique...'
'The comprehensive knowledge of the technique has been conveniently delivered to me.'
'This must be another opportunity afforded by the Black Heavenly Fate. Truly, the Heavenly Fate is astoundingly formidable!'
With these thoughts, Jiang Chen took the jade slip and retreated to a cabin to commence his practice.
The grand battle loomed on the horizon.
Even the smallest enhancement in strength could prove invaluable!
Time gradually elapsed.
Jiang Chen remained in his room, diligently studying the latter three layers of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique.
Seven days passed.
The seventh layer reached minor accomplishment level.
The eighth layer reached entry level.
Such progress was deemed exceptional.
Without Jiang Chen's foundational knowledge of the earlier layers of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique and the insights offered by Duan Ziming, attaining these results within a mere seven days would have been unattainable.
'My combat prowess has slightly improved with the addition of these two layers!'
'Alas, the scarcity of spiritual plants prevents me from breaking through to the Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm during these seven days!'
'I must explore the Cave Heaven secret realm for its numerous treasures and find more spiritual plants to utilize.'
'...'
Lost in contemplation, Jiang Chen eventually exited his cabin.
He arrived on the deck of the spirit boat.
A large group of disciples had already assembled there.
"Senior Brother Jiang Chen!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang Chen!"
"Brother Chen, we can't thank you enough!"
"..."
One after another, the core disciples expressed their appreciation and paid their respects to Jiang Chen.
As a result of Jiang Chen's accomplishments, they had all received the latter three layers of the Void Rainbow Sword Technique from the sect master.
Thus, everyone was deeply grateful to Jiang Chen.
