Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 331: The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star Passage Reopens

"Do you want to go to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star?" Mo Hao asked, a tone of understanding filling his voice. "It makes sense. After all, there's nothing here. If you want to continue cultivating, you'd definitely need to go somewhere with more resources."

"As for reaching the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, it might not be so easy. They're preoccupied with sending more people here."

"Breaking away from the Immortal Martial Continent as a native like you? Your only chance would likely be after the war with the demon race concludes, if it even does. Otherwise, you'd have to wait until you reach the Nirvana Peering realm for the odds to improve," he responded.

As he spoke, other thoughts started surfacing in his mind—The likely reason Jiang Chen hadn't acted against him yet was to use him as a means to get to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.

Although Mo Hao felt like a pup that had lost its home, he was aware that he harbored top-secret knowledge and had the potential for rapid growth. Jiang Chen must have recognized this as well.

With that realization, a sense of relief washed over Mo Hao's heart.

He then quickly continued, "However, there's another option. You could wait for me to grow stronger and then I can take you to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star. Although my Mo Clan is no more, I still have some lingering connections. If I prove myself, supporters won't be hard to come by."

He offered this alternative to instill some hope in Jiang Chen, hoping to deter him from taking any hostile actions.

"Great! Then I'll rely on you," Jiang Chen declared, laughing heartily as if overjoyed.

"Hahaha," Mo Hao joined in, erupting in laughter as well.

The laughter of the two individuals, each with hidden agendas and quietly considering the other as an enemy, reverberated through the subterranean chamber.

Next, Jiang Chen and Mo Hao took their positions, guarding the spatial node.

Alongside them, a significant group of cultivators from both the Dao Palace and Dao Comprehension realms were also posted at the formation's core spots.

Throughout the span of half a month, numerous disruptions erupted at the spatial node, all of which were quelled by Jiang Chen.

At last, the day that marked the end of one month arrived!

In the Bottomless Abyss, Mo Hao rose to his feet, his eyes brimming with excitement. "The spatial channel to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star is about to open!" he murmured.

He felt as if he'd been here so long he was on the verge of growing mold!

The pressing urgency to become stronger was escalating!

"Hahaha, the spatial channel is about to open, and now I also have a shot at entering the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!" Jiang Chen stood up, his laughter ringing out.

"Don't get too hopeful, you native. Wait for me to become stronger, and then I'll come back for you," Mo Hao said, casting a glance at Jiang Chen as a faint smile graced his lips.

"One has to cling to some form of hope, doesn't one?" Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head. "Let's go, it's time to move."

With that, he led Mo Hao back to the Purple Heaven Holy Land. From there, they reopened the spatial channel and journeyed through the Cave Heaven to reach the Pure Frost Domain.

Of course, Jiang Chen had a reason for not directly opening the spatial channel in the Bottomless Abyss—he wanted to keep a card up his sleeve.

The Bottomless Abyss's weak spatial connection to the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven was a closely-guarded secret in relation to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.

Next, Jiang Chen and Mo Hao stationed themselves at the spot where the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's spatial channel had first opened.

Time seemed to crawl by.

Just when Mo Hao's patience was wearing thin, a whooshing sound pierced the air. A small spatial vortex appeared, quickly expanding!

In an instant, a colossal funnel-shaped vortex materialized, hanging inverted in the sky. It then gradually stabilized into a secure spatial channel.

"It's here! The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, I'm coming back!" Mo Hao exclaimed, his eyes flashing with excitement as he looked at the upside-down spatial channel in the sky.

"The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star," Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and turned to Mo Hao. "Are there any formidable powerhouses in the Void Tribulation realm on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star?"

"Void Tribulation realm? No," Mo Hao replied without a moment's hesitation. "But there are significant figures in the Nirvana Cleansing realm." This was common knowledge to most people on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.

"I see," Jiang Chen nodded subtly.

At that moment, figures abruptly emerged from the spatial channel.

These individuals varied in their cultivation bases and were dressed in diverse attire. Much like the previous occasion, they were a motley crew, not a well-organized cultivator army.

Leading the group were five figures in the Transcendence realm.

The majority of the rest were cultivators in the Dao Palace and Dao Comprehension realms.

Furthermore, the group looked exceedingly tense, their defenses fully raised.

One could easily discern from their heightened vigilance that they must have assumed the Immortal Martial Continent had already fallen to the demon race.

'Villain's Eye!' Jiang Chen employed his special vision to scan the group. Well, well, they were all supporting characters, he noted.

The strongest among them was a cultivator named Lu Yang, positioned at the Middle-stage Transcendence realm. The others were all in the Early-stage Transcendence realm.

Seeing this assembly, it became clear that another chapter of Mo Hao's ostentatious plot was on the verge of unfolding.

Mo Hao also scrutinized the newly arrived cultivators, then with a smile, took to the sky.

It was only at this point that Lu Yang and the rest of the newcomers realized they hadn't landed in a trap set by the demon race.

Rather, two human cultivators were waiting for them!

Instantly, a wave of elation swept over everyone.

"No demon race!" someone exclaimed, their voice tinged with relief. "Great, the most perilous moment is behind us!"

"Haha, I've survived and I intend to keep surviving. I want to return to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star alive!"

"I wonder how the earlier arrivals are faring. Maybe we can glean some useful information from them."

"My goodness, look, one of those natives seems very familiar. Is that Mo Hao?"

"Wow, it truly is Mo Hao of the Mo Clan. He's actually still alive!"

Lu Yang and the others initially felt a surge of immense joy. However, as soon as they recognized Mo Hao, their eyes widened in utter astonishment.

Mo Hao had been part of the expendable first wave to arrive on the Immortal Martial Continent. Furthermore, several individuals who harbored grudges against him had also descended. That he was still alive could only be described as miraculous.

Moreover, among the newly arrived cultivators, several also bore grudges against Mo Hao.

They had assumed he had long since perished, but to their sheer astonishment, he was very much alive.

"Ha ha ha!" Mo Hao erupted into laughter. "You didn't expect me, Mo Hao, to still be alive, did you?"

"Sorry to disappoint so many of you!" His voice dripped with mockery as he fully embodied an aura of pretentiousness.

Simultaneously, his system issued a prompt, signaling that he had successfully achieved pretentiousness and earned a full 5,000 Pretentious Points.

'Damn it, he's really laying it on thick, and so suddenly, too. He caught me off guard!' Jiang Chen inwardly frowned, realizing that protagonists could be incredibly tricky. A momentary lapse and Mo Hao had pulled off a successful pretentious act!

Luckily, future acts of pretentiousness from Mo Hao wouldn't be so abrupt.

'I must tread carefully,' Jiang Chen thought, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. 'If I allow Mo Hao to gain momentum, that could spell trouble!'
