I happen to be heading to the World Sovereign Empyrean Sect as well, we can travel together,” the young man said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you going to our sect?” Huangfu Xianyue frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To discuss our wedding date with my future father-in-law,” the young man said with a teasing grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Xianyue looked at him with disgust and then said to Xu Zimo, “Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, friend, what’s your name?” The young man suddenly stepped forward, blocking Xu Zimo’s path with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qiu,” Xu Zimo said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nice to meet you. Gong Yu, from the Eternal God Sect,” the young man extended his hand with a smile. “Xianyue is my fiancée. You better remember that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to get acquainted,” Xu Zimo ignored the handshake and walked past him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding blue-robed youths immediately drew their swords and slowly began to encircle them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gong Yu, Lin Qiu is my friend. What are you trying to do?” Huangfu Xianyue shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let them go,” Gong Yu looked at his hand still hanging in midair and chuckled calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xu Zimo and the others leave, a nearby youth walked up and asked, “Senior Brother Yu, you’re just going to let them go like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush. No one I’ve set my eyes on has ever escaped,” Gong Yu said with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Heaven Tower, Huangfu Xianyue looked visibly upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who was that Gong Yu?” Xu Zimo asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just an arrogant fool,” Huangfu Xianyue replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s my sister’s fiancé,” Huangfu Hao explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the Eternal God Sect, huh? Not bad,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the strongest sect in the Southern Region, the Eternal God Sect had declined in power somewhat after their Eternal Godly Monarch entered the Immortal Dao Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, with three known Grand Empyreans, the sect was above all other empyrean sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he were the God Child of the Eternal God Sect, I might accept it. But some spoiled rich kid being my future husband? Not happening,” Huangfu Xianyue said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Father has already agreed to the marriage,” Huangfu Hao added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll handle it,” Huangfu Xianyue said. “Let’s head up the mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The World Sovereign Empyrean Sect was located behind Heaven World City. After exiting the south city gate and walking for about two miles, they arrived at a large mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain was shrouded in a faint mist, grand and elegant, almost dreamlike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the group reached the foot of the mountain, spatial ripples appeared, and two figures emerged from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Holy Maiden,” the two gatekeeping disciples greeted respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Returning to the sect,” Huangfu Xianyue replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two disciples each held a long halberd and drew them through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space in front of them split open, revealing a portal of void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the World Sovereign Empyrean Sect is indeed within its own realm,” Xu Zimo muttered softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone stepped through the void portal, their bodies were gently swallowed by a spatial force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, they arrived in a different world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless peaks stood proudly on the ground or floated in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were shrouded in mist, others filled with immortal pavilions and towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cranes soared through the skies. Disciples flew on swords. In the distant horizon, someone slashed through sun, moon, and stars with a single flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant beasts inhaled and exhaled, triggering cosmic phenomena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this could be summed up by one word from Xu Zimo, \"Vast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I live on Goddess Mountain. You can pick a courtyard on my mountain to stay in. It’ll also make it easier for me to temper your demonic body,” Huangfu Xianyue said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure,” Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two take him to settle in. I need to speak with Father,” Huangfu Xianyue said to Huangfu Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Huangfu Xianyue left, Huangfu Hao smiled and said, “Come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded. Compared to when they met at the Heaven Tower, Huangfu Hao didn’t seem like a rich brat at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one explanation, he was pretending before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Huangfu Xianyue was scheming something with him, though Xu Zimo wasn’t sure what yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, since he came here to seek a method to fuse the blood lizard, this wasn’t a bad outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goddess Mountain was the traditional residence of the Holy Maidens of the World Sovereign Empyrean Sect. It was located to the left of the main sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three arrived in front of Goddess Mountain, where the scenery differed from elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While most places were still lush and green, here it felt as though autumn had arrived early, with golden leaves carpeting the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle autumn breeze blew, carrying a few falling leaves through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground glowed golden with fallen leaves, and the entire mountain radiated a sense of melancholy and solitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunset and lone birds flew together. The autumn waters stretched to the distant skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain wasn’t particularly tall but was beautifully graceful, as if it didn’t belong to the same dimension as its surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the mountain stood a stone stele engraved with three large characters: The Goddess Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the characters was a carving of a graceful woman ascending into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangfu Hao placed his hand on the stele, and a rift opened in the barrier surrounding the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll help you choose a courtyard first, and then we’ll get you registered. You’ll officially be disciples of the World Sovereign Empyrean Sect,” Huangfu Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That easy?” Jiu You asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, you’re going through the back door. You’ll understand the sect better over time,” Huangfu Hao replied with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked up the mountain along stone paths made of yellow granite strewn with fallen blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellowing leaves still clung heavily to the trees, giving the peak a unique atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway up the mountain, there were a few elegant courtyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artificial hills and streams surrounded the yards, with ginkgo and maple trees planted around them. The ginkgo leaves emitted a faint fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard on the left was where Huangfu Xianyue lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo thought for a moment and chose the courtyard in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, Huangfu Hao bustled about and brought back disciple tags and the official robes of the World Sovereign Empyrean Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Huangfu,” Xu Zimo asked before he left, “where do we practice sect techniques?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean the One World Tower?” Huangfu Hao explained the route simply, then added, “But you need merit points. Without them, it’s useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Huangfu Hao left, Jiu You asked, “So what do we do now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m heading to the One World Tower to look around. You can wander around on your own. I probably won’t need you this time,” Xu Zimo waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later that afternoon, Huangfu Xianyue returned and immediately came to visit Xu Zimo’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How does it feel, Young Master Lin?” Huangfu Xianyue asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1157,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","3641fee99ce71c647372462984e0a0a496cc183302c06baffeb8709f5d04516e","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-655","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-653",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
