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

Chapter 106: Jiang Chen, Supreme Elder of the Starry Abyss Sect

From Feng Jun's perspective, with Jiang Chen assuming the mantle of the Starry Abyss Sect's sect master, the sect would inevitably experience rapid growth and development within a brief period.

Not just the Mysterious Truth Continent, but also the Snowy Wind Continent and the Bright Cloud Continent, along with other adjacent continents, would eventually yield to Jiang Chen's influence, kneeling before the mighty Starry Abyss Sect in future times.

Hence, once Feng Jun was satisfied that there were no discrepancies with Jiang Chen's identity.

He promptly resolved to abdicate his position as sect master in favor of Jiang Chen.

Feng Jun's decision, while it left the other elders and deacons taken aback, also elicited emphatic nods of approval, with voices rising in concurrence one after the other.

Within a brief interval, the prospect of Jiang Chen assuming leadership as the Starry Abyss Sect's sect master emerged as a universally anticipated development.

Such was the privilege afforded by power.

In an instant, one could seize control of a formidable faction and amass a vast body of subordinates and informants!

However, Jiang Chen had no intention of assuming the role of sect master of the Starry Abyss Sect.

Observing the tireless efforts Feng Jun put in made it clear just how demanding the position of a sect master could be.

Moreover, he had yet to discern his villainous identity in the narrative of the third protagonist.

Which implied, his departure could be imminent!

As such, power was the most critical factor.

Apart from his family, Jiang Chen's time ought to be spent boosting his strength, rather than being consumed by trivial matters.

Therefore.

"I appreciate the trust, Sect Master, and esteemed elders."

"But my focus remains on cultivation, and it would be in our best interest for Sect Master Feng Jun to retain his position as sect master."

"Sect Master Feng Jun's invaluable contributions to the sect are clear to all!"

"His leadership has been instrumental in preserving our Starry Abyss Sect's status as one of the three major sects on the Mysterious Truth Continent."

"Additionally, we've secured a substantial amount of treasure from the Cave Heaven secret realm!"

"Within this bounty are numerous spiritual plants apt for the Heavenly Origin realm! Should we refine these into pills, not just the sect master, but even the elders and deacons may stand a chance to ascend to the Heavenly Origin realm!"

"..."

With a subtle smile and a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen gracefully declined Feng Jun's proposal to abdicate his position as sect master.

Upon concluding his words, he proceeded to extract some Heavenly Origin rank spiritual plants from his storage ring to substantiate his statements.

Once the spiritual plants were exposed, an incredibly rich and invigorating medicinal fragrance immediately permeated the surroundings!

"Wow!!"

"Heavenly Origin rank spiritual plants!"

"These truly are Heavenly Origin rank spiritual plants!"

"And they are of the highest quality and matured age!"

"Additionally, there is a vast amount of Mysterious Platform rank spiritual plants! There's even an enormous pile of Spiritual Awakening rank spiritual plants!"

"If these spiritual plants could be refined into pills, they would certainly provide us old ones with a chance to strive for the breakthrough into the Heavenly Origin realm!"

"..."

Feng Jun and the others' eyes widened in disbelief, their joy verging on insanity, and some elders were even moved to the brink of tears.

Previously, they had been thoroughly shocked by the aura of Jiang Chen's cultivation base.

Furthermore, Jiang Chen and the rest had only spent less than a day within the Cave Heaven secret realm.

Thus, they had never imagined that Jiang Chen would actually extract such an abundance of Heavenly Origin rank spiritual plants from within!

Now, having sighted these spiritual plants, how could they not be ecstatic!?

"Please accept these spiritual plants."

Jiang Chen began, offering a subtle smile. "Sect Master, assemble the combined strength of our entire sect to refine them into pills for a breakthrough to the Heavenly Origin realm!"

He then employed his Yuan Power to generate a gust of wind, elevating the plants towards Feng Jun.

"This...this...this!"

"Jiang Chen, we can't thank you enough!"

"The sect has barely contributed to your success, yet you've generously gifted so many spiritual plants for us to refine into pills. This favor will forever be etched in our hearts!"

"..."

Feng Jun and the others voiced their profound gratitude.

At this juncture, Duan Ziming and the rest came forward, saying, "Sect Master, with Jiang Chen's aid, we too have reaped a substantial harvest of spiritual plants."

As they spoke, Duan Ziming, Nie Wei, among others, took out the spiritual plants one after the other and presented them to Sect Master Feng Jun.

"Wow!"

"Even more spiritual plants!"

"With this abundance of spiritual plants, once they are all refined into pills, our Starry Abyss Sect will ascend to an unprecedented height!"

"By then, asserting dominance over the neighboring continents will be effortless!"

"Duan Ziming, rest assured that the pills processed from these spiritual plants will undoubtedly be allocated to you first!"

"We, the old generation, are past our prime, and you are the future of the Starry Abyss Sect!"

"..."

Feng Jun and the others, witnessing the spiritual plants proffered by each disciple, were overtaken by sheer excitement.

"Sect Master."

Jiang Chen chimed in once more, "Although the Cave Heaven secret realm displays some anomalies, it hasn't collapsed yet. Perhaps we can deploy some members to gather spiritual plant resources."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ziming and the others promptly concurred.

"Senior Brother Jiang Chen is spot on! The Cave Heaven secret realm is vast, and we've only explored a fraction of it."

"Indeed, it harbors numerous perils the realm itself may collapse at any moment, and it is inhabited by humanoid monsters possessing the combat power of the Mysterious Platform realm. However, it's also teeming with resources!"

"Spiritual plants are plentiful within it! If we venture in now, we might secure a considerable cache of spiritual plant resources!"

"Should the Sect Master decide to dispatch members, we can send the death warriors fostered by our sect. While the cultivation base of the death warriors may not be elevated, as long as they don't exceed the Mysterious Platform realm, they can still venture inside. Ordinary Mysterious Platform realm cultivators can't overcome those humanoid monsters."

"..."

Duan Ziming, Nie Wei, and the other disciples all chimed in one after another.

"I see!"

"Then, I shall promptly summon the death warriors from within our sect!"

Feng Jun's eyes gleamed brightly, and he immediately approved the plan.

In regard to these expendable death warriors...

Not to mention a significant entity like the Starry Abyss sect, even Jiang Chen's own Jiang Clan cultivated quite a few of them.

These death warriors, for varying reasons, were fearless in the face of death, even though their cultivation bases were typically low.

At this moment, Feng Jun extracted his transmission jade token to give instructions, and the elders residing in the sect took the helm.

At this juncture, an elder voiced his thoughts: "Jiang Chen has now ascended to the status of a powerhouse at the Heavenly Origin realm, his standing can no longer simply be a disciple, I propose, let Jiang Chen assume the role of Supreme Elder in our Starry Abyss Sect!"

"Supreme Elder!"

"A position that necessitates at least being at the Heavenly Origin realm, the true foundation of our Starry Abyss Sect!"

"It has been many years since our Starry Abyss Sect had a Supreme Elder, now, we are on the cusp of welcoming one again!"

"I concur, junior Feng Jun, pays respects to Supreme Elder Jiang Chen!"

"I concur, junior Yu Wenyao, pays respects to Supreme Elder Jiang Chen!"

"..."

Led by Feng Jun and Grand Elder Yu Wenyao, all the elders, deacons, and individuals like Duan Ziming, one by one, paid their respects to Jiang Chen.

In the realm of cultivation, those who attain greatness invariably lead the pack.

Despite being merely twenty years old at present, Jiang Chen's cultivation base had ascended to the Heavenly Origin realm, thus catapulting him ahead of everyone else, granting him the status of a senior!

"Supreme Elder, huh?"

"Alright! From this point forward, I am the Supreme Elder of the Starry Abyss Sect!"

Jiang Chen nodded in acceptance, aware that the role of the supreme elder typically wasn't burdensome, primarily responsible for deterring rival forces, which would afford him ample leisure time.

The crux was that even the sect master was obliged to heed the orders of the supreme elder.

"We pay our respects to the Supreme Elder!"

Feng Jun and others bowed again in unison, their voices reverberating to the heavens, solidifying Jiang Chen's identity.

Simultaneously, the tumult from the Starry Abyss Sect had also piqued the interest of the other nine major sects.

Successively, gazes filled with astonishment were all centered on Jiang Chen.
