I Am the Fated Villain-Chapter 1150 - 511: The existence of a limitless aptitude, the world calls it the immortal binding demonic art
Chapter 1511: The existence of a limitless aptitude, the world calls it the immortal binding demonic art
Gu Changge was not taken aback by Ye Suyi’s reaction. There were more secrets surrounding this girl in white than he had anticipated. Had he not deduced and investigated her just moments ago, he likely would have overlooked them. After all, her destiny-defying personality bore similarities to a variable personality in certain respects, which was quite peculiar.
Like a variable personality, her future destiny and past were shrouded in fog, making it impossible for others to pry into the achievements and levels she could attain. Even an existence that controlled the fate of all beings in the world would find it difficult to gain insight into the future fate of someone with a variable identity. No one could predict what heights she might reach or what opportunities and fortunes she might encounter.
In contrast, those ordinary people blessed with great luck, though favored by heaven, had their adventures and opportunities laid bare to the eyes of powerful beings. It was easy to see when and where they would obtain their opportunities, whom they would meet in the future, and what enemies they might face. Such plans and calculations were simpler to execute.
Thus, the strong became stronger while the weak dwindled. Among those truly great supernatural beings, which one did not seek to absorb the luck of countless individuals graced with fortune? Yet Ye Suyi, standing before him, was entirely different from those fortunate individuals.
The peculiar and unsettling aspect of her destiny-defying personality was that she appeared no different from ordinary people, lacking much luck in her essence. However, she possessed the ability to alter her destiny and future through various means, becoming a limit-breaking existence.
For instance, although her natural aptitude might confine her to reaching only the peak of human cultivation, some unknown force could enable her to surpass this limitation and ascend the immortal path. Similarly, while her lifespan might be destined to be a mere ten thousand years, she could find a way to extend her life essence, allowing her to live for hundreds of thousands of years, and so on.
Her future seemed clear and straightforward, almost simplistic, yet it was precisely this simplicity—so characteristic of a mortal—that could yield incredible miracles and fortunes. This was why Gu Changge speculated whether her fate was merely the result of someone else’s calculations and designs or if it indeed stemmed from that enigmatic “someone.”
From Gu Changge’s perspective, there was also another possible scenario: Ye Suyi could have endured countless disasters and dangers, gaining enlightenment in the process, and subsequently taken action to alter her past, smoothing the path ahead of her. Even with ordinary mortal resources, she could break through the limitations of her natural aptitude and become an existence capable of transcending boundaries, comparable to others.
If this were the case, then Ye Suyi herself was certainly worthy of Gu Changge’s attention.
Things in the future were not eternally doomed; a single moment of change could lead to terrifying transformations, like mountains giving way to tsunamis. It was impossible for Gu Changge to fully grasp or foresee the future with clarity. He still recalled an incident in the Dao Chang Realm when a son of luck from the future realm of the Immortal Emperor approached him, believing Gu Changge was not yet at his peak. This son of luck sought to eliminate him, hoping to spare future generations from dark days of despair.
However, that son of luck had severely underestimated Gu Changge’s strength. Even at a less-than-optimal state, he was not someone the Immortal Emperor could contend with. Gu Changge had seen despair etched in the eyes of that son of luck, but even now, he could not definitively ascertain from which future timeline that young man had come.
If Ye Suyi’s true nature bore resemblance to such an enigmatic existence from a fragment of the future, it might provide some explanation for the peculiarities of her personality, which allowed her to change her fate against the odds.
Noticing Gu Changge’s silence, Ye Suyi’s expression shifted to one of anxiety. She thought her concealment of her cultivation might have led him to believe she harbored ulterior motives, prompting her to quickly clarify, “I didn’t mean to hide it, my lord. My cultivation has come very quickly; it’s strange, and I can’t even figure it out myself…”
Hearing this, Gu Changge snapped back to attention, casting her a slightly perplexed look before shaking his head. “I didn’t mean to blame you.”
Ye Suyi sighed in relief but seemed to hesitate before continuing in a whisper, “When I was in Zixiao Mountain, Miss Susu often used me as a test subject, asking me to help her cultivate a certain technique…”
“That technique is strictly forbidden in Zixiao Mountain. It’s considered a forbidden art, leading to a terrible fate for anyone who practices it,” she added, bewildered by how Zi Susu had come across such a technique.
Most of the time, Zi Susu secluded herself in her cave, cultivating alone and careful not to let the clansmen discover her activities. Concerned that practicing that forbidden exercise might drastically alter her personality and bring harm, she frequently invited various servants to undergo experiments. By observing the changes in these servants after they practiced, she decided whether to continue with her own cultivation.
Ye Suyi learned all this by chance. A few years ago, while cleaning outside Zi Susu’s cave, she inadvertently stumbled upon a scene where Zi Susu instructed her servants to practice that forbidden technique. What she witnessed was harrowing.
Before her eyes, a once-powerful and vibrant cultivator aged dramatically in an instant after practicing the technique. It was as if the flow of time had accelerated through her body. The cultivator’s youthful, radiant skin became dry and wrinkled, clinging to her bones like a layer of bark. Almost immediately, the vitality of the entire person faded, as if some terrifying force was devouring it.
In mere moments, the once-living being transformed into a desiccated corpse. With the slightest gust of wind, that corpse crumbled to dust, scattering into the air and dissipating. This horrifying sight left an indelible mark on Ye Suyi’s memory.
Rather than silencing Ye Suyi, Zi Susu seized the opportunity to pass the forbidden technique on to her, compelling her to cultivate it and complete the unfinished experiments of the other servants. The mysterious disappearances of several servants around Zi Susu raised suspicions among the people of Zixiao Mountain. To avoid drawing attention, Zi Susu needed to retain her experiments while also keeping her cultivation of the forbidden technique, which led her to make Ye Suyi, who remained by her side, her new test subject.
Ye Suyi was naturally fearful of Zi Susu and dared not disobey her commands. Despite knowing that the forbidden technique was strange and unpredictable, she had no choice but to press on with her cultivation. To complicate matters, Zi Susu never provided her with a complete method; instead, she intermittently offered fragments of instructions. Ye Suyi had to cultivate based on these snippets, and even when she made mistakes, Zi Susu would often ignore them.
Under such circumstances, Ye Suyi managed to cultivate some aspects of the technique without experiencing any backlash. Ironically, Zi Susu made no progress at all, as if she were inherently unsuitable for the forbidden technique.
“That part of my hidden cultivation must come from that taboo exercise, but I don’t understand why it manifested. Many times, I can’t even access it myself…” Ye Suyi explained in a low voice.
Unbeknownst to her, Zi Susu was entirely unaware of her cultivation. Otherwise, she would never have felt so confident in “selling” Ye Suyi into her experiments. Ye Suyi also guessed that if Gu Changge hadn’t appeared when he did, Zi Susu would soon send someone to Lin Shuixuan to retrieve her. Zi Susu would never allow someone who knew her secret to remain beyond her control, as she only sought to humiliate her.
Gu Changge didn’t seem particularly surprised by her explanations. “Since you have cultivated that forbidden exercise, do you know its name?” he asked casually.
Ye Suyi shook her head, bewildered. She knew it was a taboo technique from Zixiao Mountain, but its origins were a mystery to her. If Zi Susu hadn’t sneered at her and threatened her in that moment, she might never have known such a technique existed.

“It’s called the Immortal Binding technique, but in the world, it is commonly referred to as the Immortal Binding Demonic Art,” Gu Changge said, his tone matter-of-fact. freewebnoveℓ.com
