He first sought out a secluded spot and took out the newly acquired Star Core and the Nether Soul-Suppressing Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two hovered before him; one flowed with starlight, vast and pure, while the other held a deep, dark light that suppressed ten thousand souls. Under the harmonization of his chaotic spiritual power, wisps of starlight and nether energy intertwined and resonated, and the cracks between them seemed to mend imperceptibly amidst this resonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the method parsed by the system, he attempted to trigger that wisp of \"Star-Nether Light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, his chaotic Nascent Soul formed a hand seal, and a wisp of gray chaotic origin power acted as a bridge, simultaneously connecting the star power of the Star Core and the nether energy of the Soul-Suppressing Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beam of light about a foot long emerged from his fingertips. This beam was quite peculiar; its main body was a gray, chaotic color, but inside it seemed to flicker with countless tiny, shimmering starlight, while deeper within flowed a touch of profound darkness that brought peace to the mind. Around the beam, space twisted slightly, and the aura it emitted was neither pure destruction nor simple sealing, but a charm closer to \"reconstruction of order\" and \"return of all laws to the origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan could feel that this \"Star-Nether Light\" was extremely powerful, possessing a potent restraining and purifying effect on evil spirits, monsters, and remnant souls, and it also had a decent ability to interfere with and dismantle arrays and restrictions. However, the consumption was equally massive; with his current early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he feared he could not sustain it many times if used at full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another trump card added.\" Lin Xuan put the two items away with satisfaction. The harvest from this trip far exceeded expectations; not only had he broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, but he had also obtained key items and powerful means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his breathing for a moment, restoring his state to its peak, before setting off toward the very center of the secret realm—the Heavenly Mandate Palace area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer he got to the core, the more dense and pure the spiritual energy in the air became, even beginning to mix with wisps of faint primordial energy. However, in contrast, space became increasingly stable, the suppression force grew stronger, and the consumption for flying increased significantly. At the same time, the number of cultivators he encountered grew, with cultivation bases generally above the late-stage Golden Core, and Nascent Soul cultivators were not uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these cultivators were in a hurry, either driving their escape light alone or in groups of three or five, maintaining a vigilant distance from one another. Everyone's goal seemed to point in the same direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan still maintained the disguise of \"Jin Shisan,\" keeping his aura controlled at the early Nascent Soul stage, making him not particularly conspicuous among the crowd. But he keenly sensed that several powerful spiritual senses would sweep across this area from time to time, as if searching for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they looking for me? Or do they have other motives?\" Lin Xuan sneered inwardly. His luck-concealing function operated quietly, making him like a drop of water entering the sea; when those spiritual senses swept over, they only paused slightly before moving away, failing to lock onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, the terrain ahead changed again. It was no longer a wasteland or mountain range, but an endless plaza paved with countless huge white jade slabs! At the end of the plaza, amidst swirling clouds and mist, one could vaguely see the outline of a continuous, magnificent palace complex—that was the Heavenly Mandate Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even just viewing it from afar, one could feel that supreme majesty that suppressed the ages and held the power of destiny!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, thousands of cultivators had already gathered on this huge white jade plaza! Heads moved, spiritual light shone, and powerful auras surged into the sky, colliding and intertwining with each other, forming a tense atmosphere like a storm about to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the edge of the plaza stood several jade walls over a hundred feet tall. Spiritual light flickered on the jade walls, and they seemed like living things, displaying information in real-time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Nascent-Forming Creation Dew will appear at the 'Ten Thousand Laws Source Pool' in seven days.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current number of Nascent Soul cultivators arrived at the core area: 127.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Known holders of the 'Heavenly Secret Guide': 9.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information undoubtedly ignited the flames in everyone's hearts! The exact time and location of the Nascent-Forming Creation Dew! The number of competitors! And those mysterious holders of the Heavenly Secret Guide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the jade wall, and he understood. The Heavenly Secret Pavilion had indeed spread the news; they wanted to drag everyone into this struggle so they could profit from it, or perhaps... observe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mingled in the crowd, observing his surroundings calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he saw a few \"acquaintances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the northeast corner of the plaza, an area had been cleared. Ye Chen sat cross-legged alone on a bluestone, closing his eyes to rest. His aura became increasingly heavy and condensed, with lightning light contained within; clearly, his cultivation had improved again. Seeming to sense a gaze, he opened his eyes and looked toward Lin Xuan's direction. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, carrying a hint of inquiry, but he did not recognize the disguised Lin Xuan and immediately closed his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the northwest direction, the Imperial Third Prince Li Daoyi, dressed in a bright yellow python robe and surrounded by a dozen powerful attendants, looked arrogant as he chatted and laughed with several disciples from the protector families, though his gaze occasionally swept toward the jade wall displaying the information about the Nascent-Forming Creation Dew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saintess Yun Yao of the Floating Snow Palace still had her face covered by a white veil, cold as snow, standing alone in a corner. A formless low-temperature domain seemed to form around her, and no one dared to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to these top geniuses of the Imperial Capital, Lin Xuan also saw the remnants of the Nether Sect he had fought before; Elder You Liang and others were hiding in the crowd with sinister eyes. He also saw the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Starfall Pavilion; they were meeting with several other cultivators wearing similar star-patterned Daoist robes, who seemed to be elders from the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What caught his attention even more were several figures with exceptionally powerful auras he had not seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in white, carrying an ancient sword and looking cold, stood alone on a broken pillar, his sword aura soaring into the sky, causing the surrounding space to produce faint sword hums. His cultivation was clearly at the mid-stage Nascent Soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman wearing seven-colored rosy-cloud robes, with a beautiful face but carrying a wild, primitive aura, stood barefoot on a cloud of auspiciousness, curiously examining the people on the plaza. Her aura was unfathomable, making even Lin Xuan feel a hint of pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chubby, smiling middle-aged cultivator wearing a wealthy merchant's outfit, holding a golden abacus and constantly clicking it, appeared harmless, but Lin Xuan's \"Eye of Truth\" could see that he was shrouded in a thick layer of golden light of merit and wealth, clearly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were likely the \"Children of Destiny\" or powerful competitors from other regions or hidden sects that Silver Silk had mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is a gathering of heroes, a mix of dragons and snakes...\" Lin Xuan thought to himself, feeling both pressure and excitement. Only by competing with these true geniuses could he sharpen himself faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also noticed several people who possessed the \"Heavenly Secret Guide.\" Besides himself, Ye Chen had a similar white token hanging from his waist, the woman in the seven-colored rosy-cloud robes had one tied to her wrist, and the chubby cultivator clicking the abacus also had a small Heavenly Secret Guide embedded in a corner of his golden abacus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine Heavenly Secret Guides, I've seen four already...\" Lin Xuan noted silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was observing, the Heavenly Secret Guide token in his bosom suddenly grew slightly warm, transmitting a clear guidance pointing toward an inconspicuous corner on the edge of the plaza, shrouded in faint clouds and mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reception point for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and decided to go take a look. He wanted to see what the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quietly slipped away from the crowd and walked toward the place shrouded in clouds and mist. The closer he got, the more the surrounding noise seemed to be cut off, becoming unusually quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through a thin layer of mist that offered no resistance, the scene before him changed. He was still on the white jade plaza, but ahead there was now a small pavilion made of green bamboo. Inside the pavilion were a stone table and two stone stools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one of the stone stools sat a person, who was none other than the Heavenly Secret Pavilion messenger he had seen before—Silver Silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still shrouded in a wide silver cloak, as if he had never left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've come.\" Silver Silk raised his head, his eyes flickering with data streams looking at Lin Xuan. \"Sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan walked into the pavilion calmly and sat down opposite him. He discovered that looking out from inside the pavilion, the crowd on the plaza was still clearly visible, but the outside world seemed completely unable to perceive the existence of this pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Messenger Silver Silk is waiting here; could it be that the time for the transaction has arrived?\" Lin Xuan asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is still early, but I can give you some hints in advance.\" Silver Silk's voice was devoid of ripples. \"The struggle for the Nascent-Forming Creation Dew is not a simple contest of strength. The Ten Thousand Laws Source Pool is a world unto itself, containing profound mysteries. First, the Source Pool has a spirit and will repel those who harbor evil thoughts or are entangled in karmic debt. Second, the trial in the pool is not just about combat power, but focuses more on temperament, comprehension, and even... luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his cold eyes seeming to pierce through Lin Xuan's disguise and look directly at his origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Dao of Chaos, which encompasses all things, is naturally one of the most suitable physiques for obtaining the Creation Dew. But your very existence is a variable that will trigger more unpredictable tributaries of destiny. In this struggle, your opponents are far more than just these people on the plaza.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" Lin Xuan's gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It means...\" Silver Silk said slowly, \"that there will be 'unexpected' existences intervening. Perhaps some of your 'old friends'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old friends? Lin Xuan's mind raced. Did he mean the Nether Sect? The Zhao family? Or...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think further, Silver Silk continued: \"This hint is considered the 'sincerity' paid in advance. When you obtain the Nascent-Forming Creation Dew, or... when you need to make a key decision, we will talk about the real transaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Silver Silk's figure slowly dissipated like a phantom, and the green bamboo pavilion also faded away with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan found himself still standing on the edge of the plaza, as if everything just now had been an illusion. But he knew it was not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Repelling evil thoughts and karmic debt... testing temperament, comprehension, and luck... unexpected old friends...\" Lin Xuan ruminated on Silver Silk's words, his eyes growing deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Heavenly Secret Pavilion seemed truly capable of glimpsing part of the heavenly secrets. What exactly did they want to get from him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suppressed his distracting thoughts and cast his gaze once again toward the Heavenly Mandate Palace deep within the clouds and mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, he was determined to obtain the Nascent-Forming Creation Dew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days later, at the Ten Thousand Laws Source Pool, the winds and clouds would surely rise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Chapter 64 End)\u003C\u002Fp>",2047,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0560a7855a3aaa48ebb19515e658a1e0c05d1330b440fe019a206a483bd06a5b","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-65","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-63",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
