207: Chapter 67: Defying Fate (3/3) 207: Chapter 67: Defying Fate (3/3) Divine Sect’s secret technique, Hundred Lives Tribulation.
Granny Huai’s cultivation of the secret technique, Hundred Tribulations Returning to Fate,
An Jing did not understand the difference between these two secret techniques, but he could comprehend that this was the enhancent developed by Heaven’s Will Demon Sect after extre depths of research into the Fate Pattern, a secret technique aid at altering and utilizing the Fate Pattern.
Perhaps…
the transformation of Heaven’s Will Sect from its original mysterious sect into the current Man-Eating Demon Sect was due to the misuse of these secret techniques, or perhaps it was the loss of the constraints of the heavenly laws.
But Granny Huai was different.
Even though she practiced secret techniques, An Jing could see that as she herself had said, she had never hard anyone.
She never transferred her Life Tribulation onto others, but silently helped others, took on and resolved their tribulations, thereby cultivating within herself an imnsely vast essence.
Then…
in a scene that seed destined, she dedicated all of this to block the tribulation for soone who, according to destiny, she was ant to help.
Perhaps it was herself, or perhaps it was You Ruhui.
This was Granny Huai’s ‘Fate’ and ‘Life Tribulation’!
“No, no!”
You Ruhui shook her head vehently in opposition, “No matter what the secret technique, it shouldn’t be allowed!
I’ve always been receiving Granny’s kindness, yet in the end, she has to die for —this is too absurd!”
“Oh?” But Granny Huai was indifferent, “Then do you want to waste my life?”
“I am already close to death, you would rather have the life force I’ve accumulated throughout my life turn into nothingness, rather than be helped by , unwilling to take on, take on the hope I have for you, such a child, to be happy?”
—Fate.
Sighing deeply, An Jing had no other thoughts at this mont.
He rely felt a strong sense of absurdity, and an indescribable sense of inevitability.
Because he saw sothing.
That was, Granny Huai did not have much ti left to live.
Anyone who had cultivated martial arts and could sense Blood Qi would recognize that Granny Huai’s life was nearing its end.
Many years ago, when she was rescued by the Northern Patrol Envoy, she was already half-dead, it was Kanming’s Earth Vein that extended her life, and Granny Huai’s Fate Pattern also nourished the Earth Vein; both aspects mutually benefiting, turning Granny Huai into this land’s Earthbound Spirit, unable to see sunlight, nor leave the Earth Vein.
Huai…
the tree ghost.
Rooted in the Earth Vein, immovable, like a pillar of humanity.
Her surna was not originally Huai; she nad herself so because she knew her own life!
Yes, the treasure inside You Ruhui could indeed free Granny Huai…
But what then?
She was already old, so old that she was close to passing away.
The various abnormalities in Kanming were like an old person enduring extre heat and cold within a few days for Granny Huai, who was exceedingly sensitive to the Earth Vein; she had already sensed that her ti was about to co, which is why she wanted to use her life to help You Ruhui at the end.
Not to ntion, the people she was familiar with, whether it was the Vice Envoy of dicine or Wei Yang Fist, had already left this world before her—she had no apprehensions about death, rather she was eager for it.
Even if it was hell, she was willing to go.
—If it weren’t for , Granny Huai’s existence would help You Ruhui evade this pursuit…
even earlier.
Before the True Demon Sect comnced action, Granny Huai would have used her own power to send You Ruhui out of the city, and then Kanming would be destroyed by the True Demon Sect, the rampaging Heavenly Demon would cover up all information.
And You Ruhui, shielded by Granny Huai’s Fate, could even escape into Dust Li without Divine Skill, possibly being picked up by those who might be waiting.
At this mont, An Jing understood the direction of all these events.
Because, this is…
fate.
“To hell with fate!”
But even having understood all of this, a fire was still burning in An Jing’s heart.
Because, this fate, had already been breached by him!
As things stood, Kanming would no longer be destroyed, and You Ruhui’s trajectory of fate would also shift because of him.
Now, the only key point was,
whether he himself could shift Granny Huai’s fate…
like how the existence of a massive star itself causes other stars to shift!
“So, Granny Huai, don’t you think all of this is too contrived?”
After a mont of silence, An Jing said, “Everything seems to be predetermined, yet you…
are planning to go along with it?”
“I know what you want to do, what you want to say.”
Granny Huai turned around, her gaze calm as she looked at the young ‘Little Leader’ often ntioned by the Vice Envoy of dicine and Shu Zheng, “You have co all this way in opposition, destroying Hanging Fate Manor, and annihilating Chongyi Building…
that is your nature, and you will not regret it.”
“I am the sa, child.
I have never regretted it, and I can also see the Fate.
But I won’t avoid doing sothing just because Fate dictates it…”
“I will do those things that I believe are right.”
——Go do what you think is right.
Go do what you think is right.
Don’t think about what fate is, what is destined.
Do what needs to be done, do the right thing.
“I am enlightened.”
At this mont, both An Jing and You Ruhui fully understood.
The latter, without any hesitation, activated the maximum extent of the Earth Escape Divine Skill, striving to shift a hundred miles away in an instant.
——If it were only Granny Huai, she might have accepted the other’s kindness, but now with An Jing present, she did not want to show any weaknesses that might drag this ‘innocent one’ into it.
And the forr pulled out a broken sword.
——Drag in?
——Ha ha, now you will know what it ans to be dragged into the “Heavenly Mandate”!
At the sa ti, the Earth Vein began to tremble.
Between heaven and earth, centered around the official residence of Kanming City, a ripple appeared out of nowhere, not existing in reality but stirring within the Earth Vein’s Dark Realm.
It swept across every creature between heaven and earth at a speed surpassing that of sound, awaking even the hibernating insects, making them feel their barely existent ‘souls’ being shaken.
Everything under heaven, without exception — this is “Heavenly Sight, Earthly Listen!”
The power of the Earth Vein, coupled with the might of the True Master Divine Repository, made the whole of Kanming City clear inside and out, leaving no trace of darkness.
“Sothing’s been found!”
The governnt office, Inspector Cao’s eyes lit up, he sensed the unusual activity of the Earth Vein, detecting traces of Princess Mingjing’s involvent around Chongyi Building!
However, at the sa ti, he also detected traces of a Heavenly Demon around Chongyi Building!
Due to the shielding and collapse of the Law Domain, many clues had already disappeared.
But with the sensation of the Earth Vein, he could still affirm that Princess Mingjing had indeed clashed with a Heavenly Demon!
Hum—Without hesitation, Inspector Cao once again urged Zheng Mo to activate his Divine Skill, sending massive waves sweeping across a hundred-mile radius centered on Kanming City.
But the result was fruitless!
Although he detected the aura of Princess Mingjing, there were no other findings beyond that simple trace of aura!
“Damn it!”
Crushing the corner of the table, Inspector Cao gritted his teeth, reaching an incorrect conclusion: “Did that group of Heavenly Demons get there first?
Or were they scared away?!”
“These damned bugs, indeed not a single word can be trusted about them!”
On the other side, True Master Mysterious Mirror’s eyes glead with a silver-cyan light as he pondered, “Interesting…
This sensation, and the Great Void Passage of the Endless Heavens…”
On the other side of the Great Void Passage.
Tianyuan Realm.
An Jing, Granny Huai, and You Ruhui appeared in the Wilderness.
“Where…
is this?”
Both You Ruhui and Granny Huai were extrely sensitive to the Earth Vein, and they realized imdiately upon shifting that they appeared on a distant, incomprehensibly foreign land,
“You… An Jing… Is this the ‘Great Void Transference’?
Is this your true Divine Skill?!”
Raising her head and surveying the barren yet vast land, Granny Huai uttered An Jing’s true na in a complex tone, and asked puzzledly, “Child, you know I only have a few days to live, yet you refuse to follow my advice and insist on revealing your true trump card?”
“Here…where in Embracing the Void is this?” And You Ruhui, also shocked, gazed toward the illusion of Xuanye City in the distance: “Is that Shenjing?
Is it a great city from another realm?
No, even though the Earth Vein has a familiar scent, but, but…”
She was completely baffled, and thus was overwheld with shock.
“Granny, if it were an ordinary person, they would surely use so pros and cons to discuss so nonsensical words with .”
An Jing, in the face of Granny Huai’s doubts, remained unmoved: “But you are different.
I think you are right, even if it’s destiny, one should still do what they think is the right thing to do.”
“What I did, was what I thought was the right thing to do.”
“If soone were to tell , tell I was wrong, that I made the wrong choice—even if the world wants to punish for doing what I thought was right, I would still fight it to the end.”
“Moreover… ”
At this point, An Jing revealed a bright, clear smile: “Even if you are to die tomorrow, but to let you live one more day might also be a ‘Defying Heaven’s Mandate’ capable of altering the future’s course, right?”
Turning his head, An Jing looked at You Ruhui, who was hugging Granny Huai tightly, and nodded slightly: “At least, I believe.”
“The fate on both of you…has been completely changed by .”
