ACER-Chapter 29: Defying Fate Technique

After Jin Yu left, Di Yange had nothing to do, so she began to fiddle with the two items.

She had to admit, these two items were very much to her taste, simple and low-key, pleasing to the eye, and suitable for both men and women.

Just as the small sword she used to tie her hair was gone, she used this as a replacement.

She casually tied up her loose hair and inserted the hairpin into it, while the Qiankun Ring was worn on her middle finger, fitting perfectly as if tailor-made for her.

Then she swept everything on the ground into the ring. She knew she might not be able to leave for the time being, so she could only keep these things in case they might be useful later.

With nothing else to do, she began to look through the contents of the Qiankun Ring.

At a glance, she discovered something good.

“Defying Fate Technique”???

Di Yange flipped through its contents. It recorded many techniques, not only could they change a person’s fate, extend lifespan, but also alter aptitude. However, every single technique was a defiance against the heavens.

Most importantly, on the first page, there was a large note:

“Those who practice defying heaven’s techniques will inevitably suffer heavenly retribution! Be cautious!”

While Di Yange was excited, outside the light screen, Luo Ziyin, who had been watching her, felt his heart pound nervously.

He seemed to understand why he had gone from a useless person to a Great Emperor with heaven-defying aptitude.

The others also glared at him with similar understanding.

Afterward, Di Yange didn’t find anything else of interest.

The other items were clearly good things to enhance cultivation, and she had no interest in them at all.

She carefully placed the “Defying Fate Technique” back into the Qiankun Ring, this kind of good thing had to be studied slowly when she had the time.

However, her cautious manner made Luo Ziyin’s heart ache even more, because everything she did so carefully was for him.

Rumble……

It was finally about time.

With a loud explosion, the entire secret realm suddenly began to tremble, accompanied by faint cracking sounds.

The cold ice continuously shattered and fell.

Di Yange collected all the falling millennia-old cold ice into the Qiankun Ring.

This material could be used for refining medicine and forging artifacts, it couldn’t be wasted.

After she finished collecting everything, a powerful aura spread from her body.

With a booming sound, the entire secret realm exploded.

Meanwhile, Di Yange broke through several minor stages in succession, directly surpassing early Golden Core Stage and instantly becoming a cultivator at the peak of Golden Core Stage.

This was the result of her accumulation over the years.

Feeling herself grow stronger and stronger, Di Yange felt like crying without tears. She lamented the fact that she was now even further from returning home.

After leaving that ruined area, several groups came to investigate one after another. Seeing that nothing remained, they all left.

After departing, Di Yange immediately flew toward the direction of Jianxin Sect.

For this Defying Fate technique, she decided that her first test subject would be Luo Ziyin.

She had no choice, villains were said to have tough fates, and since she and Luo Ziyin were old acquaintances, such a “good thing” naturally had to fall on him.

……

After Di Yange and Xiao Jue were presumed dead, Jianxin Sect received various greetings from other sects. After all, with Di Yange’s arrogant attitude in the secret realm back then, it would be hard not to stir some anger.

However, in the end, Jianxin Sect didn’t expect Lingxiao Sect to step in and resolve the situation for them.

It was said that Di Yange, that little brat, had saved the little junior sister of Lingxiao Sect.

With Lingxiao Sect stepping in, the medium and small sects could only back down.

Five years passed, and Jianxin Sect was still the same small sect. None of its disciples had achieved anything notable, and the elders’ aptitudes hadn’t changed in the slightest.

Especially Wuchen, after Di Yange’s death, he was no longer willing to raise her orphaned little brother for free.

However, the sect master was benevolent. Since Di Yange had died, he wouldn’t let her younger brother wander alone in hardship.

Thus, Luo Ziyin remained under Wuchen.

Wuchen was an inherently petty person. There was no way he would willingly raise a useless person, so whenever he had free time, he would often abuse Luo Ziyin.

Even though he had sworn a heart demon oath, how could someone like him not find any loopholes?

In just five years, Luo Ziyin had been tortured until he was skin and bones. During this period of time, only Xi Rou would occasionally visit him.

It was also because of this that Luo Ziyin regarded Xi Rou as his white moonlight.

Until Wuchen learned that Di Yange had returned, he was completely stunned.

Not only that, in just five years, Di Yange had already reached the peak of Golden Core Stage, surpassing even the sect master and becoming someone he now had to look up to.

If she found out that her younger brother had been abused like this, wouldn’t she skin him alive?

Fortunately, after returning, Di Yange didn’t immediately go see Luo Ziyin. Instead, she returned to her residence, entered seclusion, and forbade anyone from disturbing her.

From that day on, Wuchen wished he could worship Luo Ziyin like an ancestor.

And Luo Ziyin, clearly traumatized by the abuse, didn’t dare speak of what he had endured.

Seeing this, Wuchen finally felt somewhat relieved.
