Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 372: Another Breakthrough, Middle-Stage Nirvana Peering Realm

'Wordless Heavenly Jade!' After perusing the Formless Nature Immortal Scripture, Jiang Chen's thoughts shifted. He activated his Wordless Heavenly Jade.

In mere moments, an enormous amount of qi and blood within the Wordless Heavenly Jade transformed into a vast expanse of mysterious energy, which then flowed into Jiang Chen's body and soul.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen had mastered the Formless Nature Immortal Scripture to the perfect level.

It wasn't merely a theoretical understanding of the cultivation technique; it felt as though Jiang Chen had practiced it for countless years, mastering it to a level that could no longer be refined further.

The moment his cultivation method attained the perfect level, Jiang Chen experienced a sensation of his body becoming 'lighter'. Simultaneously, his connection to the universe and the surrounding world deepened.

'It's done! My foundational realm is now on the verge of reaching the Middle-stage Nirvana Peering realm. By combining the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo with the Burning World Red Lotus, I should be able to break through,' Jiang Chen mused internally.

His divine sense plunged into the Cosmic Mustard Seed. Instantly, a mountain of spiritual plants appeared before him. These plants had been obtained from Bo Luncang, the demon army numbering in the millions, and the equally large army of cultivators.

Naturally, Jiang Chen hadn't forgotten about Sun Tianlin's storage bracelet.

'Cosmic Mustard Seed, devour!' With just a thought, Jiang Chen had the Cosmic Mustard Seed instantly consume Sun Tianlin's storage bracelet. The treasures inside it materialized within the Cosmic Mustard Seed as well.

Immediately, a new mountain of spiritual plants appeared within the scope of Jiang Chen's divine sense. Both in terms of quantity and quality, Sun Tianlin's personal trove outshone the collective haul from the million-strong armies.

This clearly showed that Sun Tianlin was indeed extraordinarily wealthy.

"The long-awaited herb consumption begins!" With a slight smile gracing his lips, Jiang Chen retrieved a pile of spiritual plants from the Cosmic Mustard Seed and began consuming them as if they were mere carrots.

His eating speed was astonishing. In just a few quick bites, he had ingested hundreds of different types of spiritual plants.

The moment these spiritual plants hit his stomach, they immediately released an immense surge of medicinal power, coursing through his body like a blazing flame.

Right after, this medicinal power channeled through his meridians and flowed into the Dao Palace, where it was absorbed by the Burning World Red Lotus.

In a flash, the Burning World Red Lotus became even more vividly red, nourished by the medicinal power.

Furthermore, a substantial amount of pure cultivation base emanated from the Burning World Red Lotus, permeating every cell within Jiang Chen.

As Jiang Chen continued consuming the spiritual plants, the nourishment received by the Burning World Red Lotus kept intensifying.

Though the existing petals of the Red Lotus had fully regained their vibrant and lush state, it's important to note that the lotus was not originally complete.

When Jiang Chen first acquired it, the lotus had just a single layer of petals, and even within that layer, many were conspicuously absent.

In essence, the Burning World Red Lotus originally had more than just one layer of petals, and even the existing layer was supposed to have more petals than were currently visible.

At this moment, fueled by a plethora of high-grade spiritual plants, new petals began to sprout on the Burning World Red Lotus.

By the time Jiang Chen had finished consuming all the spiritual plants, the lone remaining layer of petals had been fully rejuvenated.

Consequently, the Burning World Red Lotus also successfully ascended back to the Nirvana Peering realm.

Simultaneously, the potency of the Burning World Raging Flames also ascended to the Nirvana Peering level, surpassing even a Fire Dao cultivation method of the same rank that had been mastered to the perfect level.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen received an immense surge of pure cultivation base from the Burning World Red Lotus, propelling him directly into the Middle-stage Nirvana Peering realm.

'Another breakthrough, fantastic! Let's assess my true combat power now,' Jiang Chen thought, his eyes aglow with excitement. He proceeded to open his detailed information panel.

Instantly, a semi-transparent panel materialized before him.

'My daily combat strength is already approaching the Late-stage Nirvana Peering realm. With further cultivation methods, facing higher-level opponents will become even easier. Now, let's examine the acquired weapons,' Jiang Chen thought, nodding subtly. He then shifted his focus to the weapons and artifacts stored within the Cosmic Mustard Seed.

Having defeated over a hundred demons in the Transcendence realm and the formidable Bo Luncang in the Nirvana Peering realm, not to mention looting Sun Tianlin, Jiang Chen was far from lacking in immortal-level weapons and artifacts.

After taking a swift inventory, Jiang Chen discovered that he had thirty-three demonic artifacts at the Transcendence realm level, all classified as immortal tools.

Those acquired from Sun Tianlin and Bo Luncang were top-grade immortal tools within the Transcendence realm—undeniably impressive. However, these artifacts held limited utility for Jiang Chen.

The Silver Immortal Sword, a support-class weapon primarily geared towards restoring its master's condition, boasted an upper-grade quality in the Nirvana Cleansing tier.

Though its current rank was at the lower end of the Nirvana Peering scale and it lacked strong offensive capabilities, its power still surpassed that of any top-grade Transcendence realm immortal tool.

In a past battle, Jiang Chen had wielded the Silver Immortal Sword to directly slice off a segment of Bo Luncang's Meteor Hammer.

'It looks like these weapons and artifacts will have to act as reserves, or perhaps gifts, or even be reforged when the opportunity arises. The Silver Immortal Sword serves well enough as my primary weapon for now. Should I come across a weapon with higher offensive power, I can always redeem one from the System Mall. Ah, that reminds me—I've now accumulated over a million Villain Value points! The system underwent an upgrade, and the worth of Villain Value increased. I wonder what's different now,' Jiang Chen mused internally, proceeding to open the system interface to investigate its newly-upgraded features.

First, he opted for the primary choice to directly boost his cultivation base. To his astonishment, he found that his accumulated 1.4 million-plus Villain Value points could elevate him straight to the Peak-stage Nirvana Peering realm!

'Wow, that's incredible! And the system had even stated earlier that this is the least efficient way to expend Villain Value—only worthwhile in an emergency,' thought Jiang Chen, his lips stretching into an enthusiastic smile. He then moved on to explore the second option: Redemption Choices.

This option remained largely unchanged from before. It still featured categories like Cultivation Methods, Pills, Artifacts, and Others, covering virtually every type of cultivation resource found in the universe.

When he selected the 'Cultivation Methods' category, Jiang Chen found that martial techniques and secret arts at the Void Tribulation rank were priced at just one million Villain Value points!

As he skimmed through the 'Pills', 'Artifacts', and 'Others' categories, he noticed that most items at the Nirvana Peering rank were listed for under one hundred thousand Villain Value points.
