He looked at Xu Zimo and said, “Brother Zimo, once I get there, I want to train alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did the patriarch give you the True Martial Token?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He did,” Lin Ruhu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that world also has a True Martial Sacred Ground, then we’ll meet there,” Xu Zimo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the Outer Heavens, each person would be teleported to a different location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said to be a random transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a chance of one in trillions that two people might be sent together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the near-infinite vastness of the Nine Heavens of the Outer Heavens, even a single Mortal Ascension Heaven was thousands of times larger than the Primordial Heartlands, there was no point entertaining such thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that everyone else had gone through, Xu Zimo did not enter. He still stood in the void, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what he was waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, as the sun set in the west, the sunlight shining from within the Heavenly Gate grew weaker and weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to carry the omen of closing soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the end, she still didn’t come,” he sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly sensed something and sharply turned his gaze to the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure slowly walked through the air from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a long azure robe, embroidered with clusters of lavender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her collar was cut in a unique style. Her long, jet-black hair fell down her back, woven into small braids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold, clear aura around her made her even more striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her waist hung a green sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ke’er’s figure stopped in front of Xu Zimo, the faint scent of lavender spreading around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Ke’er simply extended her right hand, tossed an item to Xu Zimo, and then turned to step into the Heavenly Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo did not call after her. He knew she still could not let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could understand. After all, he had slaughtered her entire family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, she had abandoned everything, wanting to live hidden away with him, but in the end, she was betrayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never thought that after being reborn, he would be so ruthless. He truly felt pain for this girl, yet between himself and the Demon-Slayers, their paths were destined never to cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things were bottom lines. Though his heart was unwilling, there was no other way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s just take it slowly,” Xu Zimo muttered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with his current circumstances, going together would not be a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Outer Heavens, there were even more enemies, and countless beings far stronger than him. He could not afford to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by continuously climbing upward, reaching the far shore, transcending the Grand Dao, could he truly command everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the item she had tossed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sachet. Opening it, he found a sprig of purple lavender inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It smelled fragrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface of the sachet, a lover’s knot had been carefully embroidered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The story of the lover’s knot was well known to everyone. It was the most direct way to express love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend had it that when a man gifted a woman a crystal needle, the woman would take out a thread of eternal union, pass it through the needle, and weave a lover’s knot as a gift in return. Within each loop and twist, tender feelings of affection and longing were woven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo sighed deeply, then hung the sachet at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced one last time in the direction of the True Martial Sacred Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed low in a deep salute, then rose into the air, turning into a streak of flowing light that disappeared into the Heavenly Gate just as it was about to close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Green Mountain, Wenren Yun had nearly cried herself into a weeping wreck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qingshan held her in his arms, his chest dampened with her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wife, how about we have another child?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to die?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body endured a violent tearing sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo could clearly feel two different worlds intersecting and colliding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, he could do nothing, only let the battle between heaven and man play out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain wracked his body without pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the sensation of tearing gradually weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain instant, the light before his eyes suddenly flared brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo felt his entire being completely severed from the Primordial Heartlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering contact with this new world, his consciousness sank into slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first of the Nine Heavens, the Mortal Ascension Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Sovereign Mountain Range, there existed a sect named Martial Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Martial Heaven Sacred Ground was not very large in scale, just one of the many sects upon Sovereign Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shared the mountain with the Nine Nights Holy Lands, each taking one half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millions of years ago, Martial Heaven Sacred Ground was once very glorious, with billions of disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Martial Heaven Emperor had walked out from this very Sovereign Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brilliance had shone throughout the entire territory of the Star River God-Dynasty, and even in the other eight Heavens, his name was once known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since the Martial Heaven Emperor left the Mortal Ascension Heaven, Martial Heaven Sacred Ground had gradually declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its glory was gone. Now, it was merely a lineage of a few million people. Surviving only by relying on the fertile lands of the Sovereign Mountain Range, clinging on to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they often clashed with their neighboring Nine Nights Holy Lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sects looked down upon each other, both desiring to drive the other away and seize sole control of Sovereign Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in the vast back mountains of the Sovereign Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, millions of rare celestial herbs and divine trees were planted, to supply for all disciples of the Martial Heaven Sacred Ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo awoke from a haze of blurred vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggling to sit up, the first thing he did was sense the changes in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation was gone. To be precise, his body needed to adapt to the Heavenly Dao and laws of the Outer Heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he was no different from a mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes slightly, sensing carefully, and had already understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take about three days to adapt to the laws of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant after three days, he would be able to recover his realm as a Grand Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, he had no strength at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was not worried, because he still had the existence of the God World inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon and Seven-Face, no longer suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Heartlands, should by now have recovered their full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten meridian gates, that was the legendary Saint Sovereign Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he did not need to worry about his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What mattered most now was to clarify his current situation and learn more about this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body felt somewhat weak. This feeling was unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since Xu Zimo had felt this fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, he saw lofty mountains, with countless herbs and trees surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sitting in the middle of the herb fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to stand up and explore, a few voices came from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see this year’s inner court competition? Senior Brother Zhuo was so handsome, once again taking first place without question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhuo Bufan is alright, I think Senior Brother Mo Du is the strongest. But he’s always too proud to bother with those competitions.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-06T01:07:06.361Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e1c80664a09f454c295357646308eb9731bb7bc7ff6af6b7d6bc33dee3a5f21","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1042","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1040",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
