After receiving it, Xu Zimo returned to his courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master,” the two guards greeted him, standing tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you remember the young man you beat up a while ago?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We remember,” they both nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow-robed youth had his tongue pulled out and legs broken before Xu Zimo entered seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I expect someone will come to settle that score soon. What are you going to do?” Xu Zimo asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you give us the order?” The two guards were startled and glanced at each other, worried they might be used as scapegoats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t want to die, do exactly as I say,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon was faint, stars were sparse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, Xu Zimo was cultivating the techniques he had learned that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Derivation Blade required deep comprehension. The more insight one had, the more powerful it became. Without that, the technique would be weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s true body returned to the True Fate World and began training under the support of the Heavenly Dao from the God World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao is the fundamental, irreplaceable force of a world, its core essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its help, Xu Zimo’s comprehension and training speed increased drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Speck In The Vast Sea, a high-level water-based technique, was among the best in its category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, life is but a speck in the vast sea. Some people live a simple life, others are as vast and brilliant as the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a single grain of sand drifting in a sea of countless others, never seeing the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if that grain can rise to the skies, even something small can stir up massive waves and upheaval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique was about using the small to overcome the great. With just one point of leverage, it could shake the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these were high-level techniques, Xu Zimo had already reached the God King realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly caught his attention was Six Cuts of Ghost Zen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the beginning of this technique, there was a strange poem:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of monks and Buddhas die in blood,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creator of this technique was the Ghost Tathagata, who had been slain by the Nine Heavens Sect’s founder, the Nine Heavens Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique was passed down ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained six moves:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Law Without Cause, Fallen Spirit, Seal of Slaughter, Heavenly Burial, Slaughter Form, and Ghostly Compassion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While training it, ghostly shadows would appear. A bloody aura surged into Xu Zimo’s mind as if to consume his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ghostly images were like the resentments of countless beings, attacking his body and mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six moves corresponded to the six human senses: Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste, Touch, and Consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To use this technique, one must sever these six senses, condemning the target to an eternal, inescapable death in the underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To even begin learning Six Cuts of Ghost Zen, Xu Zimo had to walk the edge of death himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when he realized: mastering this technique required Buddhist artifacts to suppress the evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by suppressing the spirits and preserving the six senses could one survive the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Zimo possessed the Heavenly Dao, and under its power, the ghosts were like ants, completely suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What force in this world could suppress more than the Heavenly Dao itself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Dao is a part of the world, it is the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo didn’t just want to learn Six Cuts of Ghost Zen, he wanted to combine it with his blade techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to create the Ghost Zen Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creating new martial arts wasn’t new to him. In his past life, he had created techniques like the Nineteen Forms of Dao-Seeking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with both experience and the Heavenly Dao, it was far easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three days of intense training, Xu Zimo slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, only one night had passed. The sky was gloomy and overcast, clouds gathering as if ready to rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he opened his eyes, ghostly images swirled around him, forming a faint ghostly domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To better merge the Ghost Zen technique with his blade, Xu Zimo even ventured into the hell of the God World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He visited the Eighteen Levels of Hell, built by the Slaughter God, and spent a full day there, experiencing, sensing, and understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Jiang Changsheng arrived outside Xu Zimo’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo had summoned him, and he didn’t dare disobey. He had no choice but to show up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, over on the eastern side outside Grand Heaven Mountain, atop Jade Heaven Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak was surrounded by numerous mountains, homes to many powerful figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one of the peaks, mist drifted, and cranes cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a sealed cave, loud booms echoed out as powerful blade energy burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stones rolled down from the peak, clearly a powerful force was building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a thunderous boom, a blade light split the entire mountain peak in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade light shot into the sky, shattering the very space above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gold-robed figure burst from the seal, flying through the air with unmatched blade intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Senior Brother, on completing your closed-door training! Your martial path has advanced!” disciples in yellow robes stepped forward to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had short hair, thick eyebrows, and eyes sharp as blades. His pupils were vertical like a predator’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive broadsword was strapped to his back, nearly as wide as his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed on the mountaintop and waved the disciples to quiet down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked softly, “While I was in seclusion, did anything major happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, Senior Brother, we took care of everything,” one disciple replied quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Where’s Qing’er?” the golden-robed man asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he spoke, a soft voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Shen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples quickly moved aside, revealing Qing’er, a graceful young woman standing at the back, looking forward expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing’er,” the golden-robed man, Shen Lang, called out as he stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1073,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","e9b679d10a3daf08aa920373b2b0a983c4ef645a2deb1ae15a3194225fed37d1","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-611","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-609",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
