The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg for Forgiveness

Chapter 296:

For several days in a row, numerous elders remained alert on the Heavenly Mountain. As time passed, various rumors began to spread throughout the Heavenly City. Qi Bing, staying in the city, heard these rumors and felt increasingly anxious each day.

In truth, compared to Qi Bing, the elders of the Heavenly Sect were even more anxious. Lin Yan had been sitting before the Heavenly Sect's Monument for several days. Throughout this period, he had not moved, remaining in a meditative position and comprehending the monument's inscriptions. The fact that Lin Yan could remain in front of the monument for such an extended time had left everyone in the Heavenly Sect utterly stunned.

Initially, many of the elders considered banding together to ambush Lin Yan. In this way, even if news about Lin Yan spread, the Heavenly Sect's reputation would remain intact. It should be noted that almost every year, some masters, confident in their skills, attempted to ascend the Heavenly Mountain to comprehend the monument, only to be killed by its pressure. The Heavenly Sect's formidable reputation was built this way.

However, seeing Lin Yan stay before the monument for several days without any signs of discomfort, even the most stubborn elders began to feel nervous. His prolonged presence indicated that his strength far surpassed their understanding.

Noticing the elders' growing fear, Sect Master Duan Kaishan banned everyone from entering Heavenly Mountain, reserving the task of monitoring the situation for himself. This continued for nearly half a month.

Finally, Lin Yan, who had been sitting before the monument, slowly stood up. His gaze remained fixed on the monument, his eyes filled with joy. After meditating on the monument for about half a month, Lin Yan's understanding of the laws of destiny had made significant progress.

Unfortunately, the area's restrictions on all powers meant he couldn't immediately manifest this newfound insight. Nonetheless, once he left, the insights he gained would enhance the quality of his law tree.

"Senior..." As Lin Yan awoke from his meditation, a voice called from behind. Lin Yan turned and saw someone he didn't recognize. However, from the man's attire, he could tell he was an important figure in the Heavenly Sect. Lin Yan, who had snuck into the Heavenly Mountain, felt a bit awkward meeting the monument's true owner.

"You're from the Heavenly Sect, right?" Lin Yan asked, shaking his head slightly.

The man behind Lin Yan was Duan Kaishan, the Heavenly Sect Master. Despite Lin Yan's calm demeanor, Duan Kaishan appeared nervous and anxious. He quickly replied, "I'm Duan Kaishan, the current Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect. It is an honor for our sect to have you here..."

Duan Kaishan continued with a stream of flattering words, leaving Lin Yan speechless. Lin Yan was an intruder, after all. Yet here was the sect master showering praise on him.

"Since I barged into the Heavenly Sect to comprehend the monument, I owe you a favor. You can make one request that I can fulfill." Lin Yan stated, looking at Duan Kaishan.

Immediately, Duan Kaishan knelt, his head touching the ground, his voice trembling: "Senior, may I follow you from now on?"

"Follow me?" Lin Yan was surprised. He hadn't expected this request from Duan Kaishan. In this relatively independent world, people knew little of the outside heavenly realms. Social status here was quite hierarchical, with sect masters like Duan Kaishan at the top, often proud and unwilling to show weakness. For such a person to kneel and beg to follow someone was highly unusual.

Seeing Lin Yan's puzzled expression, Duan Kaishan lowered his head further and explained: "Senior, I once found a journal left by an ascended predecessor. From it, I learned that our world is merely a cage. I... want to leave this cage."
