I Really Am A Villain

“It seems you’re quite confident in me,” Xu Zimo smiled.

The other party wouldn’t cooperate with the five great powers, but instead chose to cooperate with him, an unknown figure.

This proved that Mortal Sovereign believed he could contend with the five great powers.

“The Grand Elder told me that in the Five Ghost Forest, even the Ghost God couldn’t do anything to you,” Mortal Sovereign said.

“So I want to gamble once.”

“You want the Luo Clan to have an Infinite Dao cultivator,” Xu Zimo replied.

“Several ancestors in the residence have already reached Saint Sovereign peak. Unfortunately, without external help, I’m afraid they have no hope of reaching Infinite Dao in this lifetime.”

Mortal Sovereign said.

“We cooperate with senior, but hope the five great powers won’t know about it. Otherwise, I’m afraid the Luo Clan will find it difficult to maintain its position in the future.”

“You’ve calculated well. Cooperating with me, you’re unwilling to bear any risk at all.”

Xu Zimo said, “But why should I cooperate with you?”

“My Luo Clan has a complete map of the Human Sovereign Palace,” Mortal Sovereign said with remarkable insight.

“To be honest, several years ago, we actually discovered the Human Sovereign Palace’s inheritance site. It’s just that back then, despite all our efforts to enter, it was futile. I knew the time hadn’t come yet.”

“Originally, I thought when the Human Sovereign Palace opened, I’d lead the residence’s people inside. Who knew that the day the Human Sovereign Palace inheritance opened, a holy light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire firmament. The Sovereign’s voice resonated above the clouds. This phenomenon alarmed the entire Great Beyond. Whether the five great powers or other cultivators, all placed their attention on this.”

Mortal Sovereign smiled bitterly.

They had prepared for several years, but unfortunately it all came to nothing.

He continued, “Although the Human Sovereign Palace was exposed, we’ve had some gains these years. One of them is the map of the Human Sovereign Palace.”

Xu Zimo lightly tapped the stone table in the pavilion with his hand.

He was contemplating the gains and losses.

The Human Sovereign Palace contained things to help people enter Infinite Dao, this was what he valued most.

Unfortunately, after so many years, even Mortal Sovereign dared not confirm it.

Then he thought of the Jade Maiden Palace.

What if he obtained the inheritance and used it to enter the Jade Maiden Palace?

The more Xu Zimo thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Mainly because, first, among the five great powers, all had Infinite Dao cultivators. Xu Zimo didn’t want to force his way in.

Second, his purpose of finding the Desolate Tree, he didn’t want others to know about it.

Thinking this far, Xu Zimo replied, “Alright, I agree. When do we enter the Human Sovereign Palace?”

Hearing Xu Zimo’s answer, Mortal Sovereign restrained the smile on his face.

He hurriedly said, “Although the Human Sovereign Palace has already opened, there’s corrosive poisonous mist at the entrance. Even Saint Sovereigns cannot enter. Moreover, Eighteen Demons guard the entrance. Let’s wait three more days. In three days, the five great powers should arrive. By then, someone should deal with the poisonous mist and the Eighteen Demons.”

“Bring me that map of the Human Sovereign Palace,” Xu Zimo said.

“Speaking of this map, it was also our good fortune. Back then, while inspecting around the Human Sovereign Palace, we looked for other entrances. At the entrance to the Human Sovereign Palace, there are many statues, seemingly all disciples of the Human Sovereign. Among them was a statue with a lion’s head and human body. This map fell from its mouth.”

Mortal Sovereign explained.

“After obtaining the map, I made two copies. I carry one with me.”

Mortal Sovereign’s right hand grabbed, and the eye in his palm directly opened.

Reflecting the void beside him.

This void was opened, and Mortal Sovereign retrieved a map from within.

His palm eye was quite interesting.

Not only could it warn and sense others’ power, it also came with a space.

A space only he could open.

By placing things in his palm space, Mortal Sovereign was as safe as could be.

Even if killed, others couldn’t find it.

“Forgive me for showing off, senior. Just some small tricks,” Mortal Sovereign smiled.

He handed the map to Xu Zimo.

“Senior, this map is the original version, absolutely authentic.”

Xu Zimo took the map in hand.

He could feel it should be some demon beast’s hide.

After countless years, it remained incorruptible.

Opening the map, it was densely packed with crisscrossing paths, like a maze.

However, upon closer inspection,

Xu Zimo discovered the Human Sovereign Palace was divided into three major sections.

Respectively the Hall of Transmission, Saint’s School, and Discipline Hall.

Only after passing through all three places could one obtain the Saint’s inheritance.

“Do you know what these three places test?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Probably related to teaching and learning,” Mortal Sovereign pondered.

“When the Human Sovereign was alive, he taught without discrimination, with students throughout the world. He was the most respected cultivator in the Great Beyond. Many called him the Imperial Teacher. Because his students, many had already become Grand Emperors. Another portion even entered Saint Sovereign realm. And his nine most accomplished disciples were all Infinite Dao cultivators.”

“Oh? That powerful?” Even Xu Zimo was somewhat surprised.

The disciples he taught were all Infinite Dao cultivators, Saint Sovereigns and Grand Emperors.

More importantly, he didn’t pick his students, he taught without discrimination.

Then looking at it this way, the Human Sovereign Palace’s inheritance was definitely related to teaching.

After chatting with Xu Zimo for a while, Mortal Sovereign left.

Before long, Luo Mingyue also came.

She held a box in her hands.

“Found it?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Mm,” Luo Mingyue nodded.

Xu Zimo looked at the box, his eyes narrowing, “Let me see the box.”

Luo Mingyue hesitated slightly.

Ultimately, she still handed the box to Xu Zimo.

“You haven’t opened it?” Xu Zimo asked.

Luo Mingyue shook her head.

“I can’t open this box.”

Xu Zimo looked at the box, pitch black throughout with some patterns on it.

At the box’s lock, was the shape of a writing brush.

Xu Zimo’s hands suddenly pulled upward, but the box remained intact.

Its hardness exceeded Xu Zimo’s expectations.

Just as Xu Zimo wanted to continue destroying the box, a “boom” muffled sound suddenly came.

Xu Zimo felt his consciousness seemed struck by something.

Immediately after, the world before his eyes changed.

The Sovereign preserves spirit and seeks arrival, accomplishing the world’s great order, achieving the world’s great benefit, harmonizing the juncture of heaven and humanity, making it seamless.

The Saint’s words: Among countless beings, all may have what I can learn.

Grand and vast voices sounded one after another.

These voices seemed to attack from all directions, shaking the soul, making one’s Dao Heart clear.

Saints are also mortals, mortals can also cover heaven with one hand. I have one thought, transforming myriad celestial realms, transforming the epochs of all heavens.

Xu Zimo felt his divine body continuously rotating in the void. The scenes before his eyes also constantly changed.

Only the voices by his ears seemed imprinted in his memory, unhurriedly sounding.

At one moment, heaven-shocking light exploded.

An old man’s figure appeared before him.

“Human Sovereign?” Xu Zimo asked in surprise.
