With a wave of both hands, he threw out a ball of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light soared into the air and exploded mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half the sky trembled. Mu Changge formed a hand seal, seemingly unlocking something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, the light in the sky began to expand, crushing the surrounding space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Activate the formation,\" Mu Changge shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the peak masters of the nine branches each took out a token. As their tokens lit up, the entire Nine Heavens Imperial Sect seemed to quake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rumbling sound echoed from the mountaintop. The Nine Heavens Grand Formation activated, condensing countless streams of spiritforce that surged toward the sky above Dao Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the core of the Nine Heavens Grand Formation, the convergence point of all spiritforce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the energy gathered, it created a storm that roared like rolling clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire sky was engulfed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light expanded to a certain range, a loud boom sounded, and the entire sky began to shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Images appeared in the heavens: primeval forests, deserts, snowy mountains, hundred-foot-tall monsters, and chilling screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes flickered across the sky until it all became illusionary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is quite the trick,\" Xu Zimo commented with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky above displayed scenes as if they were right in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Xu Zimo knew the sights were actually tens of thousands of miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just projections from within the ruins. The real marvel was that Mu Changge had opened a space gate from within the Nine Heavens Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gate that connected to the ancient ruins, linking two places tens of thousands of miles apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One end of the gate was in the Nine Heavens Sect, the other within the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, proceed,” Mu Changge said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo followed the hundred or so others, stepping into the space gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone entered, Mu Changge waved his hand again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space gate closed, and the sky’s projection stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It now displayed a full map of the ancient ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the projection of the ruins. Whatever they experience in there, we can see it all clearly from out here,\" Mu Changge explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think will enter the main clan this time?\" the Divine Heaven Mountain Lord Changqing asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others sat on prepared seats nearby. Jade Heaven Mountain Lord Wang Yuntian chuckled and said, \"The heirs of each branch have the best chances. Whether a dark horse appears, we’ll see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think Grand Heaven Mountain has it rough this time. Their Imperial Son is the weakest one,\" Scenery Heaven Mountain Lord Qi Hai said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not jump to conclusions before results come in,\" Lin Beisheng said calmly. \"Otherwise, you’ll just slap your own face later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds like Mountain Lord Lin is very confident,\" Qi Hai replied, still smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do Elders Mu and Qin have any favorites?\" Wang Yuntian asked the two main clan elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We only care about the results, not the rest,\" Mu Changge said leisurely while watching the projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Heaven Mountain has underperformed for several generations,\" Elder Qin added blandly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Beisheng’s face darkened, but he didn’t dare refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he knew that Qin Hansheng had a bias against the Grand Heaven branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of years ago, when the Nine Heavens Sage passed away, the Nine Heavens Technique was split into nine volumes, each given to a branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many years ago, Qin Hansheng had visited the sect, hoping to borrow the Grand Heaven volume. But the branch’s core techniques weren’t something others could casually access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lin Juemie had refused him outright. No one had expected that Qin Hansheng would now be the elder sent from the main sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the crowd chatted, they continued watching the projection in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the space gate, Xu Zimo found his vision engulfed in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spatial force enveloped him, causing his body to feel weightless as he shifted between dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From one realm to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about ten minutes, Xu Zimo felt the spatial force weakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he lost control and began to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly stabilized himself and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was on a vast plain, with only a few scattered trees nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sign of life around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could fully take in the scene, a bolt of lightning shot toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dodged it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt struck the ground and blasted out a large crater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it shot toward him again, faster this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo reached out and caught it in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, he realized it wasn’t lightning, it was a silver snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake struggled, its body crackling with electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo casually crushed it, then looked around again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was some kind of force in the ruins that prevented flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo could resist it if he wanted, after all, his Godly Monarch realm strength was more than enough to overpower the rules here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the hilltop, he scanned the plains, vast and seemingly endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, there was a forest. Giant trees stood tall across the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the event rules, they had to find Nine Heavens Tokens to enter the main clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo didn’t care about the tokens, he had his own people to deal with first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked across the plains. Though he appeared to move slowly, each step crossed a huge distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest looked ancient, each tree thick enough for several people to encircle with their arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Branches and leaves intertwined above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sun in the ruins, yet the forest was still bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance stood a stone tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked recently erected. On it were four characters: Demon Mist Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo guessed it was a marker placed by the main clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes slightly, scanning the forest with his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the range of his sense grew, the forest’s immense size surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt endless, and even his divine sense became entangled within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further thought, Xu Zimo stepped into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered, something felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision, once clear from outside the forest, was now obscured by thick mist…\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","028d512eeb4ec6ebb966fe13170fc0586185543b83c4a1a91c63c918211f6e80","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-641","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-639",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
