A deep sigh escaped his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathered crowd, watching intently, noticed the shift in his demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his position, the Royal Commander’s sharp gaze fixed on the Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandmaster Huang, what is the result?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried authority but held a trace of anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmaster Huang turned to face the crowd, but his expression already gave away the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This barrier... is beyond what I had expected. I can now confirm—it is a Grade-8 formation or perhaps even higher. No one in the empire can break through such a formation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of shock spread through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grade-8?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible! For thousands of years, the Desolate Heaven Empire didn’t even have a Grade-8 Formation Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this formation can’t be broken?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmaster Huang nodded solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed! This formation’s complexity and power surpass the limits of what we can breach. Even if we gather all the Grandmasters in the Desolate Heaven Empire, it would be futile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grade-9 formation was a true relic of ancient power. Breaking it by force was a fool’s dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what can we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royal Commander asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had attempted to break through with brute force, only to suffer the consequences as the barrier reflected their attacks back at them, causing harm instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, even a Grade-7 Formation Master stood powerless before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmaster Huang’s lips curled into a thin, resigned smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We cannot break this formation. However, the formation itself is not a sealed tomb—it is a trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A trial?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royal Commander echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! After extensive observation, I can confirm that the formation is designed to open on its own—exactly ten days from now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmaster Huang’s words sent another wave of murmurs through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten days? That’s all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we simply need to wait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha... That is easy, then. What’s waiting ten days? I can even wait a year for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was just a matter of waiting, then all the powerful factions present still had a chance to seize whatever lay within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a cultivator with a very big lifespan, 10 days was like a blink of an eye which they can ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could celebrate, Grandmaster Huang’s voice rang out again, cutting through their hopes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there is another condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fell silent, all eyes on the Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This formation... is only accessible to those aged thirty or below.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then an explosion of outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only the younger generation?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng’s expression also turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you certain, Grandmaster Huang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmaster Huang’s voice was absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The formation itself will reject anyone above that age, perhaps even harming the one who breaks its rule. I suspect this was a deliberate design by its creator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yuheng remained calm. If the younger generation was the only one who could enter, then he had no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven Sword Sect had the most geniuses, and he was certain they could gain the most from whatever was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only those under thirty...\" Elder Shi muttered. \"Then whoever set this up might be looking for an heir or someone worthy of their inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an easy guess since only young people could enter the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such formations had been found before, and most of the time, they were inheritances left by their creators for those they deemed worthy, like a genius or someone with great potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no formation has ever been that of Grade-8 or according to Grandmaster Huang, higher than Grade-8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the inheritance left behind should also be unimaginably powerful because only those who are Grade-8 Formation Master can make such a formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If true, then whatever lay beyond the barrier was something that could change the dynamics of the Desolate Heaven Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elders, we must immediately choose the disciples to go on this expedition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yuheng declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three of them understood. This matter should be taken as the priority and they need to make preparation as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the only one—other factions also began making plans to prepare their younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some weren’t satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful rogue cultivators, lacking clans or sects, were furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! This can’t be! You must be lying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! How can a Grade-8 Formation appear? Even if it was, I don’t believe it can resist the power of Immortals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heated words offended Grandmaster Huang, but their frustration was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Believe it or not, that is your choice. You can try to break the formation yourself or attempt to enter after ten days. You will see whether I am lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmaster Huang declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yuheng and the other leaders didn’t waste time arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandmaster Huang’s reputation was at stake, and if his words were proven false, his status would be ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, just because Grandmaster Huang said it would open after 10 days, doesn’t mean everyone would let their guard down and leave this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will have someone keep their eyes on this place and regularly update it to their respective clan or sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it wasn’t like Grandmaster can sneakily go inside thinking no one is looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader Bai, I will take my leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yuheng said to Bai Yuheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they understood the nature of the barrier, he knew there was no point in staying any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better prepare for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, let’s catch up next time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Tianheng quickly used his transmission jade, sending messages to the elders at the Bai Clan Estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immediately gather all the disciples below age thirty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1004,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","a39da8091498ceb145e883ac52ac37ef4da15184eae1c7e06e093c89820c0e8b","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-114","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-112",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
