Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Return (Part Two)

Of course, these are just Bai Ke's initial ideas, regardless of whether or not he will inform Tian Ce Palace about the news of the Tian Long Ba Bu small world.

In any case, everything has to be done with his own interests first. Bai Ke is not the kind of compassionate philanthropist who can make a living. He has to make sure he is doing well first.

Bai Ke thought that if he could seize the throne of the Heavenly Strategy Saint Son simply through his cultivation, he would secretly manage the Tianlong Babu Small World and use it as his secret base.

If things change, I will reveal the full value of the Tianlong Babu Small World. With the methods I have planted here, it should not be difficult to seize the greatest benefits.

Having made his plans in mind, Bai Ke rolled up his sleeves and continued to refine his arrangements, the first step being to completely conceal the secret of the spatial rift.

Over the next few days, Bai Ke stayed at the original location of Jianhu Palace, and under the guise of building a temporary palace, he recruited a large number of Shennong Gang disciples to build a separate residence for him.

He even personally selected green plants and arranged them into a super-large natural maze that covers dozens of miles around. Any creature that steps into the maze will unknowingly lose its way.

In this way, it can greatly prevent people from barging in and discovering Bai Ke's carefully hidden secrets. Bai Ke even ordered Sikong Xuan to send people to guard all the key roads leading up the mountain.

Sikong Xuan had always intended to befriend Bai Ke, so upon hearing his instructions, he naturally agreed and personally made the arrangements.

The Shennong Gang's disciples were ordered to work in three shifts every day, and even ordinary wild beasts were absolutely forbidden from entering the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Indeed, Sikong Xuan had already made arrangements to designate a large area behind Wuliang Mountain as a forbidden zone, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. Even he himself had not set foot on the back mountain again.

Soon, the day of his return was drawing ever closer. Bai Ke looked at the various formations he had set up over the past few days and nodded in satisfaction.

"This formation is quite simple... It's not as complicated and cumbersome as I remember..." Bai Ke muttered to himself. These days, he had been setting up various formations to conceal his tracks and deceive people.

Bai Ke used to be a complete novice in cultivation. No matter what, he would learn and adapt everything based on the memories left behind by the original owner of the body.

As the most important person in guarding the secrets of the small world of Tian Long Ba Bu, Bai Ke naturally attached great importance to the various formations that concealed his tracks.

Given the profound and extensive impression of the Dao of Formations retained in the original owner's memories, Bai Ke even made a special effort to make time for it.

He spends his days studying the various magical formations in the original owner's memories, though it's unclear whether this is due to the influence of the nine-year compulsory education he received in his previous life in the Celestial Empire.

Bai Ke didn't think this formation was very difficult... The way of this formation is actually to imitate the traces of the operation of the laws of heaven and earth, and the most important test is the logical reasoning ability of the person who sets up the formation.

The Celestial Empire's powerful mathematical proofs and logical reasoning abilities were recognized worldwide, so Bai Ke naturally wouldn't hold the Celestial Empire back. As a result, he quickly mastered the art of formations.

If those reclusive old men in Tian Ce Palace knew that Bai Ke possessed such talent, they would never allow him to waste his genius like this.

We've already arrested him and are training him diligently every day, hoping to cultivate him into a master of formations as soon as possible.

The art of formations is profound and extensive, and every formation master is highly respected in the world of mountains and seas. However, in the four regions of Tianhuang Mountain and Sea, there is no such thing.

For some reason, the Central Three Regions are extremely difficult to produce individuals with exceptional talent in the art of formations, making them far inferior to the numerous formation geniuses emerging in the Sea Region.

Perhaps every gain has its loss. The Heavenly Domain, the Wilderness Domain, and the Mountain Domain occupy the most core areas of the Mountain and Sea Realm, where experts and talents abound, so their formations are relatively weak.

In contrast, the sea is situated in the vast ocean, between the three central regions and the four cardinal directions.

They also had to fight for survival against terrifying giants lurking in the deep sea, so they had a thorough understanding of formations that combined the strength of many people.

Therefore, this is also the result of natural evolution. According to Bai Ke's previous life theory, it is called natural selection and survival of the fittest. People in the sea have no choice but to use formations as the basis for survival.

How could the Central Three Regions, which merely used it for protecting the Dao and refining treasures, compare? However, now that conflicts are raging in the Mountain and Sea Realm, all the major sects have begun to recruit various talents as reserves.

In particular, disciples with talent in the art of formations are carefully nurtured by various sects, who do their utmost to make up for the sect's weaknesses.

In the world of mountains and seas, the young people who are recognized as having talent in the way of formations all have a more profound soul than ordinary people. After being nurtured, they all make progress in the way of formations.

After absorbing the divine soul left behind by the original body, Bai Ke, who lived two lives, had a divine soul power that was almost twice that of an ordinary person.

In addition, his strong logical reasoning and spatial imagination abilities, cultivated under the nine years of compulsory education in the Celestial Empire of his previous life, naturally make him a peerless genius in the art of formations.

If Bai Ke knew he had this kind of value, he probably wouldn't have gone to such lengths to accumulate the capital to survive.

Soon, the date for Bai Ke's return to the Mountain and Sea Realm was approaching. He did not make any further preparations, but simply meditated and recuperated in his quiet room for a while.

They made an agreement with Sikong Xuan that if anyone were to emerge from the forbidden area behind Wuliang Mountain, the Shennong Gang would provide maximum assistance, provided they possessed the token left by Bai Ke.

In return, Bai Ke promised that regardless of whether he was present at the time, his disciples who had entered the world for training must provide certain support to the Shennong Gang at that time, so as not to let the Shennong Gang's incense burn out.

At the stage where Sikong Xuan and his group were at, their biggest worry was not that the sect would not develop, but that the sect would be destroyed and there would be no chance for inheritance, just like the Xiaoyao Sect was to Xuzhu.

Why did Xiaoyaozi pass on his sixty years of internal energy and the jade thumb ring passed down from the Xiaoyao Sect leader to Xuzhu? Wasn't it because he was afraid that the Xiaoyao Sect's lineage would be cut off?

Now that Sikong Xuan had received Bai Ke's promise to use his sect's immense power to ensure the Shennong Gang's lineage would continue for generations, he naturally fulfilled a long-cherished wish and readily agreed to Bai Ke's request.

Bai Ke was extremely satisfied with Sikong Xuan's promise. He came to the forbidden area behind Wuliang Mountain and casually cast a spell, which caused an altar to slowly rise from the greenery.

In the past few days, Bai Ke exchanged 1000 evil points for the method to build this altar from the system.

Its sole purpose is to stabilize the spatial rifts in this realm, allowing the disciples of Tian Ce Palace to safely descend from the altar.
