Chapter 15: Rift Between Master and Disciple, Going Further Down the Path of a Villain

The rift between the master and the apprentice, the villain is getting further and further

Ye Chen didn't just have a prejudice against Gu Changge; he wished he could cut Gu Changge into a thousand pieces and grind his bones to ash.

At this moment, he felt his head buzzing.

A few words and a single Medicinal Pill were enough to bribe his Master?

His expression was pained, even twisted.

Yan Ji did not know why Ye Chen hated Gu Changge so much, but she guessed it might have something to do with that woman, Su Qingge.

In every respect, Gu Changge was far more outstanding than Ye Chen.

Jealousy is the original sin.

Ye Chen was ultimately too young—just a boy whose mental maturity was lacking, acting only on impulse.

"Little Chen, you don't need to envy Young Master Gu. I believe your future achievements won't be any lower than his..." Yan Ji softly persuaded, hoping to resolve the rift between them.

After all, if Gu Changge truly wanted to kill Ye Chen, why would he wait until now?

Of course, she didn't know that Ye Chen was the favorite child of Heaven.

There was ethereal Luck protecting him from the shadows.

Otherwise, Gu Changge wouldn't have exploited this fact to put on that show earlier.

" Young Master Gu this, Young Master Gu that. Since you like him so much, Master, you might as well go find him..."

"Why pity me and stay by my side?"

At this, Ye Chen suddenly interrupted Yan Ji loudly, gritting his teeth, his eyes reddening.

He looked like an injured beast.

Su Qingge had already left him, and now even his Master, who had accompanied him all this way, was siding with his enemy?

How could he bear this?

He was consumed by maddening hatred.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have coughed up blood and fainted by now.

It was only because Ye Chen 's Heart-Nature far exceeded that of ordinary people that he didn't go insane under such a massive blow.

Hearing this, Yan Ji was stunned.

She then lowered her gaze, a look of disappointment in her beautiful eyes.

She never expected Ye Chen to say such things.

Such behavior could no longer be explained by jealousy alone.

This was pure childishness.

Didn't he see that Gu Changge had gone to such great lengths to make her follow him, yet she had refused?

Did Ye Chen not understand her true intentions?

Yan Ji sighed inwardly, suddenly feeling a sense of regret—how wonderful would it have been if it had been Young Master Gu who awakened her?

"No matter what you say, Little Chen, I am going to take this Medicinal Pill. Even if Gu Changge has other plans, he probably didn't expect me to use this to bring you out of the dungeon."

Yan Ji continued, though her voice lacked its previous gentleness, replaced by a cold detachment.

The spirit gathering pill would not only alleviate her current condition but also stabilize her remnant soul, allowing her to unleash greater power.

Save me?

Is that what Master was thinking?

Hearing this, Ye Chen said nothing more.

His mind was in turmoil; he needed to calm down.

Yet, even he could feel that something, hard to describe but incredibly important, was rapidly slipping away from him.

...

"Ding, a rift has developed between Ye Chen and his Master. Luck points reduced by 80, Destiny Points increased by 400."

Inside the great hall, the System 's notification sounded in his ears once more, causing Gu Changge to smile slightly.

Wonderful!

Things were indeed proceeding exactly as he had anticipated.

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed, and Ye Chen 's Fortune Points had already plummeted from over five hundred to just over two hundred.

Although this was still a terrifying height, unreachable for ordinary people, for Ye Chen, it was definitely his most disastrous collapse in over a decade.

The heroine taken, a rift forming with his Master...

It seemed this Child of Destiny would no longer be able to cause trouble in front of him.

Subsequently, Gu Changge opened his attribute interface.

Regardless, his goal in dealing with Ye Chen was to harvest leeks, farm Destiny Points, and increase his strength.

He must not get carried away by temporary success and lose sight of his priorities.

Soon, the attribute interface appeared.

Host: Gu Changge.

Identity: True Disciple of the Dao Tian Immortal Palace.

Physique / Bloodline: Demonic Heart and Dao Bone.

Cultivation: Early Marquis Realm.

Cultivation Technique / Divine Ability: Dao Tian Immortal Canon, Myriad Transformation Demonic Body (Talent), Immortal Devouring Demonic Art...

Destiny Points: 1100.

Fortune Points: 50 (Black).

System Mall: Open.

Warehouse: domain breaking talisman * 1, incomplete one-third world seed * 1.

"Based on previous experience, over a thousand points of Destiny Points can only barely improve the cultivation progress of the Dao Tian Immortal Canon; it would be difficult to break through to the eighth layer."

"This suggests that the Dao Tian Immortal Canon is of a very high level, so there is no rush for now."

"As for the Immortal Devouring Demonic Art, it cannot be revealed until I reach the God Realm. For now, I can only utilize the many secret arts within it."

"I have already perfectly mastered all of its secret arts, so there is no need to learn them by spending points."

"After all, the Immortal Devouring Demonic Art is truly Heaven-Defying. Once exposed, I would likely become an enemy to the entire world."

Gu Changge analyzed while opening the System Mall.

Combining this with the memories in his mind, he mused that the original owner's identity as a major villain was truly set in stone.

Even in the Upper Realm, the Immortal Devouring Demonic Art was a terrifying Demonic Technique that made many ancient, dreadful existences pale.

It had long been severed in the river of time; no one dared to mention it, and it could be considered a forbidden Legacy.

"It seems I am truly destined to go further and further down the path of a villain..."

Gu Changge quickly turned his attention to the items in the System Mall.

It was much as he had guessed.

They were mainly divided into three categories: Cultivation/ Precious Art, Divine Ability /Talent, and Auxiliary Items.

Gu Changge found the main Cultivation Technique category and scanned through it: Heaven-Grade, Divine Rank, Saint-Grade, Supreme...

" Destiny Points insufficient; Supreme -Grade techniques are locked?"

"Techniques below Heaven-Grade are not included."

"These techniques are quite cheap. A Heaven-Grade technique that allows a Cultivator to Cultivate directly to the Void God Realm only costs fifty Destiny Points?"

"Or does it mean that Destiny Points actually has strong purchasing power in the System Mall?"

"Saint Yang Heavenly Technique, gather Saint Yang power to refine..."

"Saint Yin Heavenly Technique, gather Saint Yin power..."

Gu Changge clicked his tongue in wonder.

It could be said that any random Heaven-Grade technique could stir up a bloody storm across the Eastern Wilderness.
