Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

  Wang Yao remained silent upon hearing Ye Tian Yun's questions.

Ye Tian Yun wasn't in a hurry to hear the answer. He let Wang Yao think through the problem and give him a proper answer to this query.

He already would be able to tell if Wang Yao tried to lie or make up things on his own.

Just then,

"Do you remember the fate points?" Wang Yao suddenly asked.

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yep, very clearly."

Wang Yao light nodded and asked, "Then you must be aware of how to get them. One must make changes in his fate to get them. Did you get any?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Yes. I got somewhere in three hundred total."

Wang Yao replied, "Well, the actual reason behind getting Fate Points is different from what you know."

"The Emblem System didn't give Fate Points based on how much you changed your Fate; instead, it looked at how much your actions affected the actual timeline."

"Sometimes, you would change your fate, but the outcome would remain the same. This was why you wouldn't get a lot of Fate Points."

"Oh…" Ye Tian Yun was surprised to hear this.

He had a feeling System had deceived him on many occasions, but he never thought even the basic things like Fate Points didn't slip away from its attention.

"In this timeline, you were not supposed to kill Fang Chen; neither was the Sleeper Cell incident supposed to happen. This was why you got the Fate Points. Now tell me, was the System stingy?"

"Very."

"Hmm," Wang Yao nodded his head, "See, the reason why it was stingy and even created trouble was that it didn't wish to create more inconsistencies."

Ye Tian Yun frowned, "In simple words, Fang Chen was not supposed to die even after my rebirth?"

Wang Yao nodded, "Yes, exactly. You were going to act disguise as a disciple and then enter this sect."

"Oh?" Ye Tian Yun was surprised, "Do you know which disciple?"

Wang Yao slightly smiled, "I know. And even you know him."

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "I only know a handful of disciples in the sect."

Wang Yao shrugged, "He's among them."

Ye Tian Yun rolled his eyes, "Tell me the name; no need to create suspense. Whom was I supposed to disguise as originally?"

Wang Yao shrugged and revealed, "Zheng Xiang."

"What!?"

"Yes. You were going to kill Zheng Xiang and disguise as him." Wang Yao replied.

"This…"

"I know it's hard to believe, but this is the truth. The actual Zheng Xiang was supposed to get killed by you, and then you would disguise as him and enter the Gracious Sword Sect."

"And weren't you earlier asking me whether I killed Zheng Xiang or not? Well, I didn't kill him because he was already dead. You had killed him long ago. I only killed you, which also meant that there was no more Zheng Xiang."

"Oh…" Ye Tian Yun was stumped by this revelation, "Why didn't you ever mention this?"

Wang Yao shrugged, "I won't say stuff unless you ask me."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head and focused on cultivation.

He continued to cultivate by digesting the Qi Strengthening Pills and added extra layers on his foundations.

With the liquified Qi in his dantian, the next step was to solidify it.

Forming a solid core was the threshold to break through to the next realm, the Core Formation Realm.

'Things will be much easier once I get in that realm….'

If possible, Ye Tian Yun wanted to reach the Core Formation Realm before working on his next plan.

Higher cultivation always makes things pretty easier.

'Instead of separating, I should head back to the Middle Heavens for the breakthrough… but… I only have three months before the Grand Spirit Hunt starts….'

'If I go in seclusion, I will end up missing a good opportunity to get my hands on one of the Tokens… and I even might miss the Gracious Sword Sect's last stand - that means I would lose the High Tier Spirit Vein under the Second Peak….'

'What should I do….'

Ye Tian Yun was in a dilemma.

He couldn't get both things. He could either go in seclusion for a breakthrough or go to the Capital City and get the next Token before Grand Spirit Hunt and then come back to the sect for the High Tier Spirit Vein.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian Yun cleared his worrisome thoughts and closed his eyes.

In the next moment, he found himself back in his cultivation abode.

'I wonder how much time had passed?'

Ye Tian Yun was cultivating in the Cultivation Space for about six days, considering Wang Yao's guess, only three days should have passed.

'Well, there's only one way of confirmation….'

Ye Tian Yun needed to go out and check for himself.

He could tell the time passed in the Cultivation Space, but it was impossible to tell how much time passed in the real world while he was in.

Ye Tian Yun stood up from his seat and opened the cultivation abode's door.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped outside and headed for the exit.

'I will also roam around a bit.'

But just as Ye Tian Yun had stepped out, someone tapped him from behind.

Ye Tian Yun turned around and saw an unfamiliar disciple standing behind him.

"Yes?" Ye Tian Yun was confused at the fierce look he was getting from the disciple's eyes.

The Disciple didn't say anything, only put forth a piece of paper in front of him.

Ye Tian Yun frowned and stared at the paper.

[Letter of Challenge.]

"Hm?" Ye Tian Yun looked at the letter and then looked back at the disciples.

After a few more backs and forth looks, Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Not interested."

Without waiting for a reply, Ye Tia Yun turned around and left.

The disciple was left standing, confused, and stumped.

After a few minutes, Ye Tian Yun walked out of the Seventh Peak was looked at the sky.

"Hm?" He was surprised at the sun's position, "Only two days have passed!"

The time dilation was actually better than Wang Yao's guess!

With every six days spent inside the Cultivation Space, only two days passed outside!

'That means I will be able to cultivate for a whole day's worth in just one night!'

(A/n: here, 1 night = 8 hrs.)

This was great news for him.

'Maybe I can break through the Core Formation Realm in time?'

There was a possibility, albeit very low.

Suddenly, Ye Tian YUn heard a commotion.

'Hm?' Looking to his side, Ye Tian Yun saw a group of disciples enthusiastically discussing something.

"It's postponed!" One of the disciples exclaimed.

"Are you sure about this? You do know the importance of this news, right?" Another disciple asked for confirmation.

"I am hundred percent sure!" The Disciples let out a huge smile, "For the first time in history, the Grand Spirit Hunt is postponed for six months!"

"It's hard to believe…." Another disciple shook his head.

The disciple who brought the news only shrugged at this, "You can choose to believe me or not, but this is the truth. I have confirmed with one of the elders, and you will also be getting an official announcement soon."

At the side, a smile formed on Ye Tian Yun's face.

'If this is true… then I will be able to reach the Core Formation Realm!'

'But first, I need to understand the whole situation. What led to such a huge change?'
