Starting Cultivation During a Trip-Chapter 136 - 103: Siblings on Divergent Paths, No Birthdays from Now On! Rooster Day of the Metal Mao
Two lineages divided transmit the killing fate, Dragons fight and tigers struggle amid life and death.
This is the curse of the Divine Evil Sect. Since the Ancestral Master bestowed the technique, only a single lineage can be passed down. If transmitted to two, it will certainly lead to the fate of killing, dragons fighting, tigers struggling, and only death will end it.
Eighty years ago, Qin Youtian of the Divine Evil Sect survived the tribulations of the Daoist Sect by sheer chance, and as the oil was exhausted and the lamp dimmed, he took in two disciples, from then old grievances tangled.
The senior disciple was named Cui Siye, known for his honesty and stability, thus Qin Youtian entrusted the Sect’s Treasure to him as he lay dying.
Because of this, it aroused dissatisfaction in the junior disciple, and from then the distance between the two grew, until later leading to a struggle unto death.
Ten years ago, Cui Siye discerned the Celestial Secret, knowing his limit was approaching, he pursued the stars and arrived at a small southern town, where he took in a disciple.
That was Wen He’s younger brother, Wen Qin. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Her brother actually privately transmitted the technique?" Zhang Fan listened to Bai Buran’s words, his gaze involuntarily sank.
In fact, at first glance, Cui Siye had his eyes on Wen He, her talent far exceeded her brother’s, however, Wen He had the Seven Killings in her fate and was born in a ghost month. If the Daoist Skill was transmitted to her, it might lead to the killing fate, hence he retreated and sought the next best, choosing the brother.
"Fate... always plays tricks on people." Bai Buran sighed gently.
Who could have imagined, Wen Qin saw his sister’s longing, and on her fifteenth birthday, he secretly taught her the Daoist Skill of the Divine Evil Sect.
In only two years, Wen He’s cultivation advanced rapidly, even surpassing Wen Qin.
By then, Wen He naturally attracted Cui Siye’s attention; her cultivation could hardly be hidden from the eyes of this Divine Evil Sect Leader.
"What happened afterward?" Zhang Fan couldn’t help but ask.
Privately transmitting the technique is stealing the Daoist practice, and within the Daoist Sect, it’s a major crime, the lightest punishment being that cultivation is abolished, the heaviest being death and dispersion of the practice.
"This is certainly a major crime, not only is Wen He guilty, even her brother bears heavy guilt, betraying the master to transmit the skill is not a deed of good reputation." Bai Buran’s gaze condensed into a line.
"However..."
"Cui Siye saw the talent Wen He harbored; she merely worked behind closed doors, but her grasp of the Divine Evil path had already surpassed Wen Qin, she was naturally a heirloom bearer..."
"He moved with compassion!" Zhang Fan spoke instinctively.
"Exactly!" Bai Buran nodded: "Such an unrefined jade, once polished, could surely expand the Divine Evil Sect greatly."
"So, Cui Siye made a decision that defied the ancestry."
"He took Sister Wen as a disciple!" Zhang Fan guessed.
"Indeed so."
"One technique transmitted to two lineages!" Zhang Fan murmured softly.
There wasn’t a hint of fluctuation in Bai Buran’s face, yet his calm voice resonated again: "With this single thought, the seed of future disaster was buried."
"Wen He’s talent was too high. People... once they shine too brightly, they overshadow others." Bai Buran lamented.
"Cui Siye lamented her insight into the Divine Evil path, his focus gradually shifted, his gaze seemed to linger permanently on Wen He, as for Wen Qin... he seemed forgotten in some corner..."
"He developed jealousy?" Zhang Fan guessed again.
"Just mere jealousy, just imbalance... perhaps isn’t much, boys of the rebellious phase, lack acknowledgment, lack recognition, it’s inevitable they become radical, normally it isn’t much..."
"But the fear is... if he constantly desires to prove himself, and at such a time, if someone lightly fuels it..."
Words ended thus, Bai Buran sighed quietly.
"You mean..." Zhang Fan was somewhat moved, as if thinking of something.
"Exactly..."
Bai Buran seemed to see through Zhang Fan’s thoughts, then nodded: "Cui Siye’s junior disciple found his way here."
"He hid in the shadows, whispering like a demon, echoing beside Wen Qin’s ears..."
"He didn’t act?" Zhang Fan asked.
"That’s a madman, he prefers to manipulate hearts over life and death... Then, he began secretly teaching Wen Qin..." Bai Buran sighed softly, as a spectator, he already knew the tragic outcome.
"You should know, the Divine Evil path is a particularly distinctive lineage within the Star Fighting Skill..."
Everyone’s fate, due to different birth times, places, orientations, climates, corresponds to different stars in the sky, those that reflect into one’s fate influence one’s entire life.
Blessed stars are divine, ominous stars are evil, this is the Divine Evil.
The Daoist Skill of Divine Evil Sect changes the influence of stars on people, resulting in unimaginable outcomes.
"That madman, although from the same sect as Cui Siye, walked a completely different path. He told Wen Qin, human fate is influenced by heavenly stars, but if one assimilates these stars into the body..."
"Then wouldn’t human fate be under one’s own control?"
"My fate is controlled by me, not the heavens... that is immortality."
"Assimilating stars into oneself!? Is this possible?" Zhang Fan showed a peculiar expression.
"Daoist Sect practice holds the theory of ’the human body as a small heaven and earth,’ human meridians akin to heaven and earth’s lines, major orifices corresponding to celestial stars, yet these orifices are empty..."
"The madman acquired the essence of the Divine Evil Dharma Lineage, knowing the wonders of star shifting, only needing to ignite these corresponding celestial orifices..."
"The path of cultivation, the method to longevity... how many have driven themselves to their limits, utterly mad for it." Zhang Fan murmured softly.
Throughout the ages, many Seekers of Immortality have not attained longevity; on this seemingly endless road, countless have followed, originating myriad bizarre ideas.
"But... if one could ignite those orifices? Corresponding celestial star positions?" Zhang Fan asked the key question.
