Villain System in a Cultivation World-Chapter 53: Code of All Gods

The Code of All Gods was the ultimate cipher—a master key to the essence of cultivation, unraveling mysteries and forging them into a singular, transcendent force.

Like an alchemist refining raw ore into divine metal, the Code absorbed, fused, and perfected every discipline it touched, distilling scattered wisdom into unshakable truth. Its glow pulsed beneath Qin Ting's fingertips, whispering ancient secrets in waves of celestial light.

He traced the scroll's edge, feeling the weight of countless generations pressed into the parchment—a silent testament to the knowledge it had devoured and reshaped into something beyond mortal grasp.

'This technique... it defies every known limit.' His sapphire gaze burned with a hunger colder than starfire.

In the Eastern Wilderness, cultivators were bound to a single path—one method, one fate. Qin Ting's Heavenly Void Mystery Tome, the revered cornerstone of the Xuantian Sect, embodied this truth. A sacred art, unyielding yet absolute, it had carried him to the ninth and final layer of the Divine Spirit Realm.

To abandon it would be to unravel years of mastery—a perilous gamble that could fracture one's very spirit. Worse still, practicing multiple methods invited madness, their clashing energies tearing through the practitioner like a storm-ravaged sail.

Yet the Code of All Gods defied this rigid law, weaving disparate techniques into a seamless whole—each thread amplified, yet the fabric unbroken.

'No wonder it's ranked as legendary.' A predatory smile curved his lips. 'This isn't just a godly method—it's a path to dominion.'

Cross-legged in his opulent quarters within the Auric Celestial Skyspire, he cradled the ancient scroll. Its weight was deceptively light, yet it thrummed with untold power.

The chamber's walls, etched with runes pulsing like a cosmic heartbeat, hummed in reverence, the very space bending to the presence of a force beyond mortal comprehension.

A whisper of qi coiled around him, threads of silver and violet light weaving through the air as he sank deeper into meditation. The scent of aged parchment and the faint metallic tang of spiritual energy filled his senses.

Half a month later, the Skyspire descended toward Cloud Sea Pier, its golden hull slicing through the mist like a blade through silk.

Qin Ting opened his eyes, exhaling a shimmering breath of spiritual energy. A spark of triumph gleamed in his sharp gaze. 'The Code of All Gods is a miracle beyond measure...'

The system-granted technique felt crafted for him alone. In mere weeks, he had grasped its essence, its principles unfolding in his mind like a lotus blooming under starlight. Even more striking was its effect on the Heavenly Void Mystery Tome. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

With the Code as its foundation, the Tome transformed—once a steady river, now a surging torrent, its currents deeper, its power vaster. The Tome, Saint Xuantian's sacred legacy and a pinnacle of the Eastern Wilderness's divine cultivation arts, had risen to a realm beyond its original glory.

'The Heavenly Void Mystery Tome was already unmatched.' His fingers traced the scroll's edge, its celestial warmth seeping into his skin. 'Now, it's something greater—a force to reshape the heavens.'

His sharp intuition hinted that this fusion was just the beginning. The Code of All Gods could weave countless techniques into its tapestry, but Qin Ting tempered his ambition.

'Only methods befitting a Holy Son—true pillars of the era—deserve my attention. Inferior techniques would only tarnish the perfection of my Dao Foundation.' His thoughts drifted to the legendary arts of the Eastern Wilderness' holy lands:

The Yuanshi Gate Sect's Yuanshi Dao, a primal force resonating with the universe's creation.

The Xingyue Sect's Star Gathering Mystery Picture, a celestial map harnessing the cosmos's radiant light.

The Ancient Sanctum's Azure Clarity Method, a serene art that purifies the soul.

Finally, the Qianyuan Sect's Canon of Primordial Essence, a doctrine embodying boundless vitality.

'If I could obtain and fuse their secrets with the Code of All Gods...' His eyes darkened, ambition coiling like a dragon in his chest, its scales glinting with insatiable hunger.

The Skyspire's engines thrummed, their low growl vibrating through the sanctum's starstone floor. Beyond the crystalline viewport, the Xuantian Sect's majestic peaks pierced the horizon, their rugged summits cloaked in clouds shimmering with spiritual energy.

Elder Liu stood on the main deck, his silver beard catching the wind, his weathered face glowing with fervor. Decades ago, he had left the sect in disgrace, exiled to guard Backridge City for over fifty years—a half-century in a dusty outpost. Now, under Qin Ting's radiant banner, he returned in triumph, his heart blazing with renewed purpose.

'Qin Ting is a star destined to outshine the heavens.' His loyalty was a forged blade, unyielding and sharp. 'I'll bind my fate to his, no matter the cost.'

As the Skyspire docked at Cloud Sea Pier, a grand entourage awaited—a sea of silk robes and gleaming armor, every True Disciple and Inner Sect Elder gathered in reverent display.

Their faces, a blend of awe and deference, turned upward as Qin Ting descended, his amethyst robes flowing like liquid starlight. The air crackled with the weight of his presence, a subtle force bending the will of lesser cultivators.

He acknowledged them with a slight nod, his gaze sweeping past their bowed heads to the disciples who had joined him on the Lian Yun Mountains expedition.

"You've served well," he said, his voice a calm, resonant command carrying a monarch's authority.

The expedition's survivors—battle-hardened disciples who had seen Qin Ting's ruthless brilliance—bowed deeply, their eyes shining with unwavering devotion.

The trials in the Lian Yun Mountains, where blood stained the earth and qi tore the skies, had forged an unbreakable bond. To them, Qin Ting was no mere True Disciple—he was the ascendant Holy Son, a living legend whose shadow they would follow to the ends of the world.

A procession formed in near-perfect synchronicity, shadowing Qin Ting as he strode past the gathered figures. The scent of incense and spirit-infused silk lingered in the air, mingling with the distant clang of sect bells marking his return.

By the time he reached Taixu Peak, the sun had dipped toward the horizon, casting golden light over the jade pillars of his palace's grand hall. He stepped inside, the flickering glow of spirit lanterns catching on the coiling dragons carved into the stone.

He exhaled softly, a sigh carrying the weight of months spent reshaping the Eastern Wilderness. 'So much has changed...' His gaze drifted to the horizon where the sect's peaks pierced the clouds.

The Xuantian Sect's attitude toward him had shifted profoundly, a seismic realignment of power.

Elders had lined the paths to his peak, their once-proud postures now bowed in deference, their voices eager for his briefest word. Even the sect's greatest figures, titans who once stood unbowed, lowered their heads in his presence, their pride eclipsed by his radiance.

His influence had always been strong, a tide shaping the sect's currents. But now, he stood as an unchallenged sovereign, his will the axis of the Xuantian Sect.

What followed Jiang Zhongbai's demise, the traitor who conspired with an outsider to murder a fellow True Disciple, was proof of this truth.

The sect acted with swift precision: Jiang Zhongbai, stripped of his title posthumously, was erased from the records, his name vanishing as if he had never existed. His riches—spiritual artifacts, elixirs, and scrolls—were seized and delivered to Qin Ting, not merely as reparation but as a statement. The offering did not just compensate; it crowned his dominance.

The announcement was brief, a wisp of smoke fading into the ether, and no one dared speak of Jiang Zhongbai. All eyes were fixed on Qin Ting, the ascendant future Holy Son whose voice now rang as the sect's sole authority.

Standing on his palace balcony, the wind tugging at his robes, Qin Ting gazed over the Xuantian Sect's vast domain—peaks cloaked in mist, courtyards pulsing with spiritual energy, disciples moving like ants below.

'From this day forward,' he thought, his sapphire eyes gleaming with unyielding resolve, 'the Xuantian Sect answers to me alone.'
