Go inside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the standoff dissolved. Everyone's attention snapped toward the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a dam breaking, the crowd surged forward in a mad dash—disciples from prestigious sects, rogue cultivators, princes and princesses—all throwing caution to the wind as they raced to be the first ones inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dugu Lianxin, who had been fighting with Bai Xueqing, vanished through the door in a streak of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will take care of you later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Lianxin declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianji's body tensed as he watched Dugu Lianxin disappear. His gaze flicked between the gate and Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was clearly torn. His fingers twitched, Qi still wrapped around his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could crush Bai Zihan here and now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be messy. Maybe take a few minutes. Maybe longer. But he could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stayed behind, Dugu Lianxin could reach the inheritance first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like how the Royal Family wanted to select the heir through this Inheritance, this was the battlefield to decide the next leader of the Demonic Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianji's only competitor was Dugu Lianxin, who he recognized to have similar power, though he still thought he was stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, if he wasted time killing Bai Zihan, he might lose the very thing he came for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianji's expression twisted in frustration before he scoffed and stepped back, the killing intent around him receding like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're lucky!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spat, glaring at Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this isn't over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianji declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash, he disappeared into the gate as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan didn't even flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an idiot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't fear Mo Tianji and could have even prevent him from leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also wasn't stupid enough to waste energy fighting when the main event had just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li-Zhao alliance also quickly changed pace and rushed to the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it wasn't just the gate opening that changed Zhao Chen's mind—it was Bai Zihan's power, which he hadn't anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many variables, he knew that focusing on the Inheritance would be better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, if he could get the Inheritance of this place, even a Heaven-Grade Artifact might be valueless in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan also commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Bai Zihan and the Bai Clan also joined the others and entered the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the gate, the roaring chaos of the outside world vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a vast, endless expanse of white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White floors stretched out in every direction, pristine and spotless, like glass or polished jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space felt endless, like they were standing atop the clouds of the heavens, isolated from time itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate behind them slammed shut with a deafening finality, sealing everyone in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way back… Are we trapped?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone muttered pessimistically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one there really thought about leaving, not until they get something from this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was confused and a little disappointed since there was nothing in here that they thought there would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that the gate itself closed, so now they couldn't even go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing in sight, the situation seemed to be heading toward the same development as earlier—where people who hated each other and had grudges would begin fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianji already seemed to be thinking about continuing his revenge for his earlier humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could do anything—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light gathered in the center of the space, swirling like silver mist coiling into shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a figure emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She floated above the ground, draped in flowing robes that shimmered like moonlight, hair long and white, eyes like twin galaxies—vast and deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beauty was impossible to describe, ethereal and otherworldly, but it was certain that she wasn't a living being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed most likely to be the remnant soul of whoever this Ancient Ruin belonged to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Mo Tianji clenched his fists and stood still as pressure mounted on them and made them feel like bowing to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone could tell that whoever this soul belonged to used to be a peerless expert, since even her remnant soul gave off such powerful pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman's gaze swept across them—not with interest, but indifference, like one might examine a group of mortals standing before a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke, her voice echoing through the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see confusion on your faces,\" she continued, her expression calm, emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wonder what this place is. Why you were brought here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then extended a slender hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You stand in the trial ground of the Immortal Emperor Feilian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A collective gasp swept through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immortal Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That title wasn't just legend—it was myth, fairy tale, impossibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A realm spoken of in reverent whispers, said to transcend even the highest mortal cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A level of existence beyond life and death, said to live forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said one who reached it could split the skies with a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That such a person could never truly die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for tens of thousands of years, no one had ever reached it. No records. No proof. Not even a remnant left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most dismissed it as delusion—a pretty story told to wide-eyed cultivators, something impossible for anyone to reach, at least in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is a test,\" Feilian's voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, invisible pressure swept across the white expanse as her tone turned sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To find a successor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock turned to madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To inherit my path. My legacy. My throne. The one who passes my trials will not only gain my power, but step beyond the mortal Dao—to become the next Immortal Emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps turned to open-mouthed stares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianji's eyes burned with fanatical greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Lianxin's smirk deepened, but even she clenched her fists, unable to hide her hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen's lips parted. He didn't speak—but the flicker of madness in his gaze said enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the normally composed Bai Zihan showed a flicker of surprise before the usual calm returned to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Immortal Emperor's Inheritance. Certainly seems like it's going to be a big deal.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman—no, the leftover soul of Feilian—swept her gaze across them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this realm, your bloodlines mean nothing. Your titles mean nothing. I only care about your fate. If your fate is to be my successor, you shall be one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they didn't really grasp the concept of fate, they all knew that as long as one possessed strength and talent, they could obtain the Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, basically, it was a test to find the most suitable person among the group of cultivators and determine the one to inherit the Immortal Emperor's legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, that was their own conclusion as they continued listening intently to what the remnant of the soul had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will undergo trials,\" she said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each one crafted to crush your soul, strip away your weakness, and expose the core of who you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice echoed like a blade drawn across glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever shall go through all the trials and reach the end will be the one to receive my inheritance,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one shall stand at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one shall inherit the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air pulsed with raw greed and feverish anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew it would become a race against each other, all getting ready to storm off as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the word Immortal Emperor echoed through the space, everything changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their determination to inherit it became their only goal—and perhaps, even if they were asked to kill their companions, they might do it if it meant gaining the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, an Immortal Emperor could rule this world—and perhaps live for eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn't want that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't a few sacrifices worth it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was definitely worth it, especially since every one of them was a cultivator and understood the significance of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let the trial begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor beneath them pulsed—sigils of ancient power flaring to life in blinding gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a path appears, definitely meant to take them to the next floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having listened to the explanation, everyone knew that the one to reach it first would get the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no one wasted time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will get the inheritance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal Emperor… Hehe! I will rule this world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out of my way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone bolted toward the newly revealed path without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But could the trial really be that simple?\u003C\u002Fp>",1529,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3de31f6ec237843114014cdb355024d6be761126f8662d77b517845f30c5f28","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-130","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-128",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
