I Really Am A Villain

Although Jade Court was unfriendly toward spirit entities from the Mirage Tides Heaven, Xu Zimo himself was a living human.

He was only passing through.

Moreover, he even knew Jade Court’s Saintess, Ye Qingcheng.

While traveling through the teleportation formation, Xu Zimo began familiarizing himself with his own strength.

He had just opened the Terrestrial Blossom, and his overall power had surged once again. This increase was explosive making him thousands of times stronger than before.

At this moment, his entire body was filled with Dao resonance, like a true deity. Faint rumbling sounds even echoed from within him.

With both the Worldly Blossom and the Terrestrial Blossom, Xu Zimo was immersed in this hazy aura, as if he had been reborn.

Jade Court lay at the boundary between the Mirage Tides Heaven and the Azure Mystic Heaven.

It was located within Kunlun Mountain.

In truth, Kunlun Mountain covered an enormous area, spanning vast tracts of heaven and earth and forming a small world of its own.

This place was neutral territory.

Neither the spirit entities of the Mirage Tides Heaven nor the demonic beasts of the Azure Mystic Heaven would invade it.

However, during this period, repeated clashes involving forces from the Mirage Tides Heaven had made the entire territory of Kunlun Mountain feel heavy and tense.

Kunlun Mountain did not wish to go to war with the Azure Mystic Heaven.

But if forced into it, once war broke out, no one would be able to stop it.

Within Jade Court, there were several extremely large teleportation formations.

These arrays connected important locations across the Mirage Tides Heaven and the Azure Mystic Heaven.

They served as Jade Court’s points of contact and exchange with both sides.

The teleportation formation Xu Zimo used was the highest-level formation of the Mirage Tides Heaven.

It could directly enter the interior of Jade Court.

Its destination was a place known as Broken Wolf Valley.

Thirty thousand years ago, the Wolf God of the Azure Mystic Heaven had selfishly invaded Jade Court.

That Wolf God was immensely powerful. It was said that he personally tore apart several Infinite Dao cultivators.

For a time, his might was unstoppable.

He advanced all the way, sweeping through one hundred and eight billion immortal caves of Jade Court.

He was finally halted before one of Jade Court’s twelve main cities, Firefly Calamity City.

It was said that the city lord of Firefly Calamity City, the Nine-Flame God, fought the Wolf God for seven days and seven nights.

In the end, it was only with the aid of several other main cities that the Wolf God was finally slain.

After the Wolf God’s death, his corpse corrupted the land. His two fangs transformed into two towering mountains.

Thus, this perilous land was formed.

Ten thousand years ago, the Queen Mother relocated the source of the teleportation formation to Broken Wolf Valley.

As for her purpose, no one knew.

Broken Wolf Valley had dedicated guardians. In the beginning, it was filled with powerful cultivators.

Visitors from the Mirage Tides Heaven or the Azure Mystic Heaven would be reported immediately.

However, over the years, unless something important happened between the two heavens, this teleportation formation was rarely used.

As time passed, the place gradually became desolate.

Within Kunlun Mountain, there were a total of eighteen lineages.

The declining Plant Lineage had been assigned to guard this location.

…

Early morning.

Gentle sunlight from the rising sun enveloped the entire world.

Broken Wolf Valley was a fairly expansive valley, but the two fang-shaped mountains were extremely conspicuous.

Even after tens of thousands of years, the mountains still reeked of bloodshed and were filled with vicious aura.

Within the valley, vegetation flourished.

Compared to the outside world, the flowers here were more vibrant and the trees more luxuriant.

It was as if some special power influenced this place.

At the center of the valley stood several massive formations.

Under normal circumstances, the formations remained sealed.

On this day, a young girl and a small boy arrived before the formations.

The girl appeared seventeen or eighteen years old, graceful and slender. She wore a green robe and looked like a spirit born of flowers and trees.

The boy beside her had chubby cheeks and looked thirteen or fourteen years old.

He had short hair and was yawning.

“This is ridiculous. They actually let two kids guard the formation. If something happens, who takes responsibility?” the boy muttered.

“Stop complaining. Grandpa Wang is busy too,” the girl said with a smile.

She took out a small packet of pastries and handed it to the boy.

“Here. I secretly got this for you from the Peach Banquet.”

“Top-grade Jade Crisps?” the boy exclaimed in surprise.

“The Peach Banquet is about to begin. I heard these things are guarded especially strictly. How did you get them, sis?”

This year marked the current Queen Mother’s hundred-million-year birthday. Jade Court had invited all of Kunlun Mountain, as well as guests from the Mirage Tides Heaven and the Azure Mystic Heaven.

They were all invited to attend the Peach Banquet.

As for regions beyond that, Jade Court did not extend invitations.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but that the number of peaches was limited.

The Immortal Peach Tree was known as one of the three great wondrous trees of the Nine Heavens.

The first Queen Mother had seized it from beyond the heavens and expended tremendous effort to transplant it to Jade Court.

The peach tree sprouted once every thousand years, bloomed after another thousand, bore fruit after another thousand, and took two thousand years to ripen.

To eat a single immortal peach required five thousand years.

Thus, even for a great power like Jade Court, immortal peaches were extremely precious.

This Peach Banquet likely used up much of Jade Court’s accumulated stock.

The Queen Mother’s hundred-million-year birthday was indeed a major event.

…

The siblings chatting were named Wang Ya and Wang Ze.

They were brother and sister.

They were also the only remaining young members of the Plant Lineage.

Ever since that great battle long ago, the Plant Lineage had declined, and its disciples had grown fewer and fewer.

Jade Court had even removed this lineage when recruiting new disciples.

Hearing her brother’s question, Wang Ya smiled and said, “Sister Mei, who manages the imperial kitchen, gave it to me.”

“Aunt Mei really is kind and never looks down on our Plant Lineage,” Wang Ze nodded.

“Call her sister. Be sweet if you want good food,” Wang Ya said, rolling her eyes at him.

At that moment, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed.

Both of them froze.

Wang Ze didn’t even dare chew the pastry stuffed in his mouth. His cheeks puffed out as he pointed behind them in panic.

“Sis, the formation… the formation has activated.”

Wang Ya quickly turned around.

The formation that had lain dormant for ten thousand years had begun operating for the first time.

“Hurry, go report this,” Wang Ya said.

“Report to who? Grandpa Wang said not to disturb him while he’s in seclusion,” Wang Ze asked.

“To the other lineages,” Wang Ya replied.

“I don’t want to go. They always mock us. Why don’t we just watch first?” Wang Ze suggested.

Wang Ya thought for a moment and finally nodded.

Truth be told, she didn’t like dealing with the other lineages either. They always acted so superior.

At this moment, the teleportation was nearing completion.

Under the surge of powerful energy, a gateway opened, and Xu Zimo’s figure fell out from within.

Xu Zimo looked around.

Two figures immediately entered his sight.

“Y-you… are you a spirit from the Mirage Tides Heaven?” Wang Ze asked, mustering his courage.

“Two kids?” Xu Zimo frowned slightly.

This was somewhat different from what he had expected.

“No, you’re not a spirit. You’re a living person,” Wang Ya examined Xu Zimo and exclaimed.

“There are actually living people in the Mirage Tides Heaven.”
