Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Deep in the heart of the Thousand Stars Mountain Range lay the magnificent Starry Abyss Heavenly Peak. Cloaked in vibrant shades of green and purple, it pierced the clouds with its majestic presence.

Amid this mountain, ancient trees reached skyward, and peculiar stone formations dotted the landscape. A thick spiritual energy, resembling a dense white mist, blanketed the area, creating an air of mystique.

Halfway up the peak, a colossal gate stood, dozens of feet high. Crafted from immense black crystal stones, it exuded an aura of grandeur. This gate, a marvel of artisanship, commanded awe and captivated the spirit of all who gazed upon it.

Below the sect's main gate, a youth clad in plain clothes, with a travel pack slung over his shoulder, stood desolately, his back to the incredibly steep staircase that descended the mountain.

In front of him, a group of young men and women in uniform black and white robes were scattered about. Their robes fluttered slightly in the mountain breeze, contrasting with the youth's simple attire.

Beyond them, rows of magnificent halls and high-rises stretched into the distance, symbols of the sect's glory and power.

A sharp voice pierced the air, jolting the youth from his reverie. "What are you looking at, Lin Feng?" sneered a young man, his eyes a mix of disdain and coldness. "The sect has already decreed. You should clearly understand that this is no longer a place for you!"

"Lin Feng, weren't you once quite proud of your talents? How did you manage to ruin your own Dantian? Hahaha!" taunted another disciple, his laughter tinged with mockery.

A girl, her voice dripping with sarcasm, chimed in, "What Lin Feng? He's still here; we should call him Senior Brother Lin!"

A fourth disciple, looking down at Lin Feng with contempt, added, "Your Dantian is shattered. You're no longer on our level. Still thinking about staying in the sect? What a delusional dream!"

The first speaker, the young man who had initially confronted Lin Feng, jeered again, "What, you're not leaving yet? Waiting for your friends to come to see you off? Forget it, only those of us who have 'friendship' with you would come to send you off!"

Each sentence of cold mockery and scathing sarcasm was like a knife plunging into Lin Feng's heart.

He gritted his teeth, his fists tightly clenched, his knuckles turning white. His fingernails, though not sharp, dug painfully into his flesh.

Lin Feng's thoughts churned with bitterness. 'Cursed fate! If not for my shattered Dantian, I could have reached the Mysterious Platform realm, even the Heavenly Origin realm!'

'But now, deprived of my qualifications to cultivate, even the small fry dare to insult me!'

'And those so-called friends, not one has come to see me off,' he reflected, his heart heavy with a deep sense of betrayal and loneliness.

This world's cultivation path was divided into several realms: Physical Body, Original Movement, Soul Refining, Spiritual Awakening, Mysterious Platform, and Heavenly Origin.

The Heavenly Origin realm stood as the pinnacle of strength in this world, a testament to the ultimate power one could attain.

In his heart, Lin Feng had envisioned a future shimmering with brilliance, a future now cruelly snatched away.

As the disciples observed Lin Feng's clenched fists, those harboring grudges against him reveled in a surge of malicious pleasure, their eyes glinting with satisfaction at his downfall.

Just then, a confident voice cut through the tension. "Hmph! Who says we wouldn't come to send off Lin Feng?" Two figures flew in from the distance, landing on the ground with a rustling sound.

"Senior Brother Li! Senior Brother Liu!" Seeing the two men appear, Lin Feng immediately relaxed his fists, his face lighting up with joy. The arrival of these two figures brought a glimmer of warmth to the otherwise cold and hostile atmosphere.

"It's Li Kai and Liu Qing!" The disciples who had previously mocked Lin Feng frowned slightly, their expressions betraying their discomfort. Their eyes darted to a young man sitting under a flowering tree not far behind them. He was meditating with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the unfolding scene.

Seeing no reaction from him, they exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting the confusion and uncertainty in each other's hearts.

'Why hasn't Senior Brother Jiang Chen come to trample on Lin Feng yet?'

'Could it be that Senior Brother Jiang knew someone would come to help Lin Feng, which is why he hasn't made a move until now?'

'...'

The wheels in their minds kept turning as they tried to decipher the young man's intentions.

Previously, Lin Feng, with his outstanding talents and promising prospects, had unwittingly offended Jiang Chen, a senior brother with a higher cultivation base.

Li Kai and Liu Qing, upon noticing Jiang Chen's presence, felt a sense of tension, their eyes darkening with wariness. They were acutely aware of the delicate dynamics at play, especially with Jiang Chen involved.

However, unbeknownst to anyone present, Jiang Chen had undergone a transformation. He was no longer the person they once knew.

Jiang Chen sat on a stone stool, his expression one of bewilderment as he stared at the information panel visible only to him. 'Is this my panel? Is this my system? Villain Value!? Black Heavenly Fate Value!?' he thought incredulously.

The data provided by the Immortal Great Villain System revealed a startling truth: he had become a villainous character, the kind who faces humiliation by the protagonist and ultimately meets a tragic end.

'A villain!? I've transmigrated into a destined-to-be-tragic villain!?' Jiang Chen's thoughts raced in alarm. 'Although I don't know what kind of miserable end awaits me, it must be dreadful!'

'No, no, no, this won't do! I must take control of my own fate! To survive as a villain, it's best to start looking for opportunities with the protagonist... but who is the protagonist?'

'Wait a second, could it be that this Lin Feng, who is being expelled from the sect, is the protagonist!?' With this startling realization, Jiang Chen's eyes snapped open. His gaze fixed intently on Lin Feng standing beneath the sect's main gate. His heart pounded with a mixture of shock and disbelief as he cursed under his breath, 'Damn it, how could he be the protagonist?!'

The disciples who were paying attention to Jiang Chen noticed his intense glare, and immediately, various thoughts sprang to their minds.

'It's happening! Senior Brother Jiang Chen is making a move!'

'Senior Brother Jiang's gaze is fierce, and by the looks of it, he surely won't let Lin Feng off!'

'Hahaha, Lin Feng is doomed now!'

Their faces lit up with anticipation, each harboring their own expectations and assumptions about Jiang Chen's intentions, unaware of the turmoil brewing within him.

Lin Feng, catching a glimpse of Jiang Chen from the corner of his eye, felt a surge of hatred rise in his heart. 'Jiang Chen! He has been targeting me for no reason at all in the past,' he brooded bitterly.

'Now, even with my Dantian shattered, he still won't let me go. Such a narrow-minded and malicious person!' With these thoughts weighing heavily on him, Lin Feng lowered his head and walked over to Li Kai and Liu Qing, seeking solace in the company of his allies.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen closed his eyes again, a look of contemplation crossing his face. 'The discarded disciple of the sect! This scenario is all too familiar!' he mused internally.

'After Lin Feng descends the mountain, he will surely encounter some great opportunity, become stronger, and then return to show off and take his revenge!'

'Furthermore, he will definitely uncover the truth behind the destruction of his Dantian. He might forgive others, but he will never forgive me!'

'Hmm... What should I do!?' A series of thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, causing his brow to furrow slightly in concern.

Noticing this subtle change, one of the disciples, eager to interpret Jiang Chen's actions, said to another, "Look, Senior Brother Jiang Chen is frowning!" This observation sparked a flurry of speculation among them as they tried to decipher the meaning behind his frown.

"Hmph, it seems Lin Feng is in for it now!"

"Once Senior Brother Jiang makes a move, Lin Feng's fate will be too miserable to watch! Hahaha!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Jiang must be thinking about how to deal with Lin Feng right now!"

With sneers and smug expressions, they turned their gaze towards Lin Feng, completely oblivious to the fact that Jiang Chen was actually grappling with his own worries.

'First, I need to analyze this new environment and sort out the context of events.' Jiang Chen, with his brow furrowed, delved into the task of processing the vast amount of information flooding his mind, striving to organize his thoughts coherently.

His first realization was about the scope of the world he found himself in: a vast cultivation world known as the Immortal Martial World.

He recognized that the Starry Abyss Sect, nestled within the Mysterious Truth Continent of the Immortal Martial World, was a force to be reckoned with, wielding control over dozens of cultivator cities.

This body he inhabited, also named Jiang Chen, held the status of a core disciple within the Starry Abyss Sect.

Furthermore, he realized that he was the eldest young master of the Jiang Clan, a major power in Autumn Glory City, a significant city nearby.

As for Lin Feng, the Lin Feng in Jiang Chen's memory was an orphan who stood out due to his exceptional talent and remarkable handsomeness.

Upon his induction into the sect, Lin Feng immediately demonstrated astonishing aptitude for cultivation. His progress was rapid, swiftly elevating him to the status of an inner disciple and setting him on the path to becoming a true disciple.

Lin Feng's combination of outstanding talents, striking good looks, and eloquence endeared him to many within the sect. His charisma and abilities did not go unnoticed, and he quickly became a favorite among his peers. Notably, numerous female disciples were enamored with him.

Even members of the older generation within the sect held Lin Feng in high regard, recognizing his potential and the promise he held.

As a core disciple, Jiang Chen's predecessor felt his future status within the sect was under threat due to Lin Feng's rapid rise. Driven by insecurity and the desire to protect his position, he resorted to underhanded tactics.

The predecessor's scheme was devious: he arranged for Lin Feng to be given a defective pill. Once consumed, this pill had a catastrophic effect – it shattered Lin Feng's Dantian, brutally severing his cultivation path.

The repercussions of this act were immediate and devastating. Lin Feng, who had once been at the pinnacle of his life, admired and esteemed by many, now found himself plummeting into the depths of despair. His fall from grace was stark; he went from being widely admired to universally scorned within the sect.

In the world of cultivation, the ability to cultivate is paramount. A person who could no longer cultivate was deemed useless and had no place in the sect.

As a result, Lin Feng found himself in today's predicament, being expelled through the main gate of the Starry Abyss Sect, cast out to face an uncertain and bleak future alone.

'Lin Feng originally only cultivated up to the Soul Refining realm, one major realm below me,' Jiang Chen reflected internally, analyzing the situation with a strategic mindset.

'And now with his Dantian shattered, he only possesses the strength of his physical body, unable to even defeat someone in the Original Movement realm. He can only bully those in the Physical Body realm.'

'Maybe... I should nip this in the bud and eliminate him right now!!' he contemplated, a sudden flash of ruthlessness flickering in his eyes.
