ACER-Chapter 9: Jianxin Sect Sword Tomb

Suddenly, dark clouds surged, instantly covering the entire Divine Physician Valley in pitch black. Within the dark clouds, purple arcs of lightning churned like violet dragons.

Rumble.

Thunder roared like thousands of troops charging.

The people who had come to Divine Physician Valley for treatment looked up at the sky with horror in their eyes.

That apocalyptic pressure made them kneel in fear.

The terrifying aura spread continuously, even those outside the light screen were shocked by the astonishing tribulation lightning.

Just looking at it felt even more powerful than the lightning they had faced when ascending.

Especially the purple lightning arcs, in an instant, they had condensed thicker than a water bucket.

Everyone wore solemn expressions, but Di Yange looked at the world-shaking lightning above her with eagerness in her eyes.

At this moment, accompanied by a terrifying aura, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket split the sky and descended, its target was Di Yange.

In that instant, Di Yange truly felt death approaching.

“Child, you can go this far for a younger brother without blood ties. This old man can be rest assured of entrusting Xuan Medical Immortal Sect to you.”

Before Di Yange could hear clearly, Tian Xuanzi pushed her away.

The purple lightning struck him, leaping across his body. Tian Xuanzi seemed to be bathed in violet light, even as he endured, he couldn’t help but cry out.

“Old man, what are you doing here?”

Di Yange rushed forward in agitation, but by the time she reached him, the purple light had already vanished.

Tian Xuanzi was still standing, but from his ashen face and disheveled state, it was clear he was in very poor condition.

“Old man, are you alright? Why are you so foolish? This tribulation lightning has nothing to do with you.”

“Ahem. What could happen to this old man? You are my disciple. Remember, you owe me a favor. In the future, Xuan Medical Immortal Sect depends on you.”

Tian Xuanzi was also a stubborn person.

His temper wasn’t much different from Di Yange’s.

Then he flipped his hand, and a golden seed appeared in his palm. With a wave, the seed entered Di Yange’s forehead.

“This is the complete inheritance of my sect. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will be able to unlock it. From now on, Xuan Medical Immortal Sect is entrusted to you.”

“And the sect’s cultivation methods, you must practice them well.”

“If… I mean if… you truly do not want this sect, then find a successor for it.”

After speaking, Tian Xuanzi turned and coughed lightly.

But what he coughed up was blood, causing everyone’s hearts to tighten.

And Di Yange behind him didn’t notice.

“Old man, are you alright? Then… can you save my younger brother?”

“Your younger brother is already fine. Can you call me master?”

After a long time, Tian Xuanzi didn’t hear Di Yange speak.

He regretfully prepared to leave.

Then, a voice sounded behind him, “Master… My name is Yange.”

“Wait, Master… Do you know about the three-legged crow tattoo?”

Tian Xuanzi paused, but didn’t turn around.

“Three-legged crow? Yan’er, if you haven’t reached Golden Core Stage, do not mention this matter again. You must remember your master’s words.”

After saying this, Tian Xuanzi left in haste.

At the time, Di Yange didn’t understand why Tian Xuanzi left so urgently, but now she understood.

Tian Xuanzi’s lifespan had already ended.

And after suffering the tribulation lightning, his fate of death was already sealed.

He was simply too stubborn to fall before his disciple.

The crowd looked at the departing Tian Xuanzi with sympathy.

“Tian Xuanzi would be alright, right? That was the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation. Even a single strike could cause those of the Upper Realm to perish, let alone a lower realm cultivator.”

“He should be fine, right? After all, he died at Di Yange’s hands. Di Yange is an ungrateful beast, he didn’t even spare a master like that. If it wasn’t for Tian Xuanzi, he would’ve died long ago.”

“But weren’t his injuries worsened because of Tian Xuanzi?”

“Idiot, whose side are you on? You’re actually speaking up for the demon emperor?”

Only Luo Ziyin’s face was filled with pain, his eyes bitter, unable to cry.

He muttered, “Three-legged crow… so it was me who revealed my parents’ information… it was me who caused their deaths. I am the one who should die.”

Seeing Luo Ziyin about to go mad, Long Yanche reminded him, “Luo Ziyin, have you gone mad? Don’t forget you still have your master and senior sister, they also died at that demon’s hands. If you die, what about their revenge? Although you owe Di Yange your life, he owes you two lives, and don’t forget the countless living beings who died.”

“You… you’re right. After killing Di Yange, I will repay him with my life.”

Luo Ziyin closed his eyes, feeling as if his heart was being cut into a thousand pieces.

He was the one who caused his parents’ deaths, yet he had blamed everything on Di Yange.

Back then, Di Yange had done nothing, yet was wrongly accused by him, did she feel the same pain he felt now?

Perhaps the reason she became so cruel in the end was also because of him.

Di Yange glanced at Luo Ziyin.

If he’s already falling apart over this, he’s got a lot more coming.

……

Di Yange looked at her past self on the light screen, she had already found Luo Ziyin.

Luo Ziyin was fine. When he saw Di Yange, his eyes lit up.

“Brother Yange, how did we get here? Where are father and mother? I miss them so much.”

“Your parents… they are at Jianxin Sect. When you go there, you will see them.”

Back then, they were so pure and innocent.

If she hadn’t brought him to Jianxin Sect, perhaps there would be no Qingyang Great Emperor today, nor her present self.

Perhaps they would still be living ordinary lives in the lower realm, or perhaps they would’ve already reached the end of their livespans.

Did she regret that decision?

No.

Perhaps she had once wavered for the sake of becoming an immortal, but as time passed, she grew more and more tired of such a life.

……

Di Yange took Luo Ziyin and set out on the road to Jianxin Sect.

This Jianxin Sect was where the story began.

She had transmigrated into a male-protagonist novel. The protagonist, Xiao Jue’s entire family was exterminated, he did everything possible to enter Jianxin Sect, determined to avenge his family. Along the way, he advanced rapidly, recruited followers, defeated villains, obtained treasures, won the hearts of beauties, and finally became the Emperor of the Divine Realm.

She had read this novel during her illness to distract herself.

Back then, she hadn’t read it carefully, there were some parts she didn’t even remember clearly.

If there were a ranking of those who hated her most in this world, Xiao Jue would definitely be first.

Thinking of the things she had done to provoke him into killing her, they were indeed somewhat insane. Of course, while being insane, she had also secretly given him benefits, afraid that if something happened to him, there would be one less person to deal with her.

……

After various small hardships, Di Yange and Luo Ziyin finally arrived at the main city under the protection of Jianxin Sect.

Although Jianxin Sect sounded impressive, it’s only a small sect in the lower realm.

Among lower realm sects, it didn’t even have a ranking.

The highest cultivation in the sect was only a Golden Core cultivator.

But for mortals, the people of Jianxin Sect were already considered to be immortals.

Di Yange didn’t know who Luo Mother wanted them to find there.

Eventually, she learned that Jianxin Sect would recruit disciples the next day.

Anyone could go to test their spiritual root and bloodline.

Once they passed, they could become a disciple of Jianxin Sect. If that failed, there’s another chance, that is to enter the Sword Tomb of Jianxin Sect.

As long as one could come out alive from the Sword Tomb with a sword, regardless of aptitude, they could become a direct disciple of a sect elder.

It was said that since Jianxin Sect was established, no one had ever come out alive from the Sword Tomb.

After hearing this news, Di Yange was filled with thoughts of seeking death.

As for being a direct disciple, that was secondary, but she would definitely enter the Sword Tomb.

Wait, it seemed the protagonist Xiao Jue also had a part here.

It was said that his aptitude was special, so he didn’t show any results when tested.

To enter the sect, he also chose the Sword Tomb path, nearly dying, and finally gained the recognition of a spirit sword.

As for spirit swords, she had no interest. But no one was allowed to take away her chance at nine deaths and one life.
