The Reincarnated Villain Makes The Heroines Tearfully Beg for Forgiveness

Chapter 299:

Dongming Lake.

It was a vast lake with numerous islands of varying sizes scattered across its surface. These islands, resembling pearls embedded in the lake, were collectively known as Pearl Island. Despite their modest size, these islands accommodate three sects. These three sects share a single Law Monument.

Every three years, the sects compete to gain the right to comprehend the Law Monument. This unique arrangement has allowed the three sects to coexist.

"Junior Brother Zhao, this year's opportunity to comprehend the Law Monument is ours for sure."

"Senior Brother, your skills are superior; we give up. But next time, we won't lose."

"Ha ha, let's talk about it during the next competition."

On the island where the Dongming Lake Law Monument was located, disciples from the three sects gathered.

Despite years of competition, their relationships had grown more harmonious, with talks of merging into one larger sect. The main reason for this cooperation was that the Dongming Lake Law Monument was extremely difficult to comprehend.

As the sect masters discussed internal matters, a small boat slowly approached from the lake.

Seeing the boat, everyone from the three sects frowned. They all knew today was the day for their competition, so no one should be approaching. Yet, there were three people on the boat. A middle-aged man in robes stood on the boat and paddled, while a young man with a calm expression sat at the front, accompanied by a standing young woman. It was clear that the young man was the leader.

"Is it another noble young master eyeing our Law Monument?" The sect masters exchanged helpless glances. Such incidents had happened before. Although the three sects were the dominant powers around Dongming Lake, they dared not offend influential outsiders. If someone of great importance wanted to comprehend the Law Monument, they had no choice but to yield. After all, the Monument couldn't be moved.

One of the sect masters stepped forward and loudly addressed the newcomers, "This is our sects' competition day. Please..."

Before he could finish, another sect leader interrupted, "Could it be Lord Duan Kaishan of Heavenly Sect?"

At this, the middle-aged man rowing the boat looked up, "You recognize me? Yes, I'm Duan Kaishan."

"The Heavenly Sect's Sect Master Duan Kaishan?" The confirmation caused an uproar among the three sects. Although they were powerful in the area, the Heavenly Sect was far superior. The presence of Duan Kaishan meant they had to show utmost respect.

With his identity confirmed, the sect masters hurriedly greeted him with smiles, "Lord Duan's presence honors our Dongming Lake."

"Are you here to comprehend the Law Monument?"

Ignoring their flattery, Lin Yan, who was sitting behind Duan Kaishan, stood up and joked, "Old Duan, your reputation precedes you. I thought we might have to fight to get here."

Qi Bing, standing next to Lin Yan, also laughed, "Uncle Duan is the Heavenly Sect's Sect Master; his presence is respected everywhere."

Duan Kaishan smiled in response and addressed the sect master, "I have resigned as the Heavenly Sect's Sect Master. I’m here because my master wishes to see the Law Monument. Please allow us this courtesy."

His polite tone surprised the sect master, who had expected arrogance. They quickly ushered Lin Yan and his companions to the island.

After some formalities, Lin Yan approached the Law Monument alone. Duan Kaishan and Qi Bing remained with the sect master, as they had their own inheritance for study. Only those seeking breakthroughs in bottlenecks needed to study multiple inheritance.

"Master has already comprehended at least 20 inheritances on this journey, each one benefiting him greatly. This shows the true strength of an outsider." Duan Kaishan thought as he watched Lin Yan.

The longer Duan Kaishan spent with Lin Yan, the more he marveled at his abilities. Initially, he thought Lin Yan was merely equivalent to a 9th-tier expert of this world. However, Lin Yan's rare displays of power suggested he was far beyond that. Qi Bing also began to suspect this, though he was skeptical of Lin Yan's claim to be a 15th-tier expert. In their world, the 9th tier was the highest known, with no higher classifications.

On Pearl Island, Lin Yan walked up to the Dongming Lake Law Monument. After a few moments of observation, his eyes lit up. Unlike most monuments he had encountered, this one had patterns that matched the paths he was pursuing, similar to the Heavenly Sect Monument and the core of the Chessboard of the Density. He knew comprehending this monument would significantly enhance his understanding of the laws of destiny.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged before the monument, beginning his analysis, much like he did at the Heavenly Sect. As time passed, the disciples of the three sects watched in astonishment. Approaching the Monument this closely already said much about his capabilities. The sect masters, too, were impressed, realizing the young man’s extraordinary nature, worthy of being served by a former sect leader like Duan Kaishan.

With Lin Yan's intent focus on the Monument, the disciples whispered among themselves, amazed at his dedication and poise. Meanwhile, Duan Kaishan observed quietly, reflecting on Lin Yan's journey and his profound insights into the laws of this world.
