The Growth of a God-Chapter 574 - 44: A Celestial Being Who Became a Godslayer
Among the many cultivation sects in the Celestial Human Realm, there is never a shortage of secret sects that speculate on the will of heaven and divine the future.
However, compared to other sects, this type of secret sect often places higher requirements on the cultivator's qualifications.
Especially after the arrival of the End of the Dharma Era, even if these sects haven't lost their inheritance, they are passed down through a single lineage.
Because those with talent are truly scarce, and the Celestial One Sect, which collectively shifted to the Mechanical Skill and Artifact Refining Skill, is one of them.
However, not all secret sects can possess the kind of resolve that the Heavenly Taoist had.
The Three Generations Sect, which is now hidden in the territory of the South Land Ghost King and is famous for its Face Reading Skill and Fortune-Telling Skill, is one of those secret sects unwilling to abandon its ancient inheritance.
In a certain sense, the Three Generations Sect has already lost its inheritance.
The only disciple of the Three Generations Sect today is merely an ordinary cultivator who accidentally acquired the Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique.
"So basically, I'm just an ordinary person."
"I haven't even fully committed to practicing the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique', so why did you come looking for me?"
With an old face that didn't match his age, the twenty-one-year-old Liu Xiang muttered softly.
Perhaps he was naturally aged, or perhaps he had divulged too many heavenly secrets...
Even among mortals, Liu Xiang, who would be considered young, now possessed the appearance of a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
"In today's End of the Dharma Era, it is precisely because you did not primarily cultivate the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' that you have managed to live until now."
Walking slowly in front of Liu Xiang, a graceful woman with a delicate face smiled and answered.
"End of the Dharma Era, when fortune is chaotic and the heavens' secrets are hidden."
"If you were to primarily cultivate the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique', even performing a face reading or fortune-telling for a common person would consume years of your life."
"Not to mention, the one you did a reading on was the 'Ghost King'; it's extraordinary that you didn't lose half your lifespan, which is already a testament to your rare talent."
Upon hearing the woman say this, Liu Xiang's already bitter face became more resigned.
Who would have thought that by mere chance of acquiring a legacy from the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' and another chance meeting with the 'Ghost King', who was not yet known as the South Land Ghost King, he would end up the way he was now.
If he could have another go, Liu Xiang swore he wouldn't say a word too much.
"You're a predecessor of the Three Generations Sect; can't you teach me how to forget this 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique'?"
"I'm naturally talkative and love interfering in others' matters; if this continues, I fear I won't last long."
Liu Xiang spoke the truth. The 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' is different from other cultivation techniques.
The 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' is the kind of knowledge that can be used as soon as you understand it, rather than a skill acquired through years of cultivation.
This means that apart from completely forgetting the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique', Liu Xiang would otherwise inevitably leak the secrets of heaven inadvertently.
"You can't forget it, do you think the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' is single lineage just by chance?"
"The 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' values aptitude and talent above all. Once you understand it, you can't forget it once you know it."
"Even if you somehow forgot the face reading and fortune-telling methods recorded in the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique', you would summarize similar knowledge yourself."
Continuing to walk ahead of Liu Xiang with a smile, the woman casually severed the possibility of escape with a few words.
"You might as well do as I suggested before..."
"Primarily cultivate the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' and simultaneously practice Silent Meditation; that's the best solution."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiang immediately shook his head firmly.
"Don't let me speak? You might as well just kill me!"
Knowing he wouldn't get a solution from the woman, Liu Xiang simply changed the topic, not even bothering to use respectful language.
Of course, it might be inaccurate to say it was a change of topic, as what he was about to ask came from genuine curiosity.
Even though Liu Xiang knew well the principle of "the more you know, the quicker you die."
But that was just his nature, unchanged.
"You said you're a celestial being descended, yet also a predecessor of the Three Generations Sect..."
"But you seem different from other celestial beings, as if you have no intention of causing trouble?"
Discarding the initial facade of respect, Liu Xiang's current behavior fully exemplified the phrase "curiosity killed the cat."
"I am indeed an ascended celestial being, but I am also different from other celestials."
Turning her head to glance at Liu Xiang, whose face was full of curiosity, the woman continued in a calm and composed voice.
"Besides being a celestial being, I am an Enlightener and a Godslayer."
"No, even in the Godslayers, I hold a somewhat special position."
Blinking confusedly, Liu Xiang did not understand what an Enlightener was, nor what it meant to be a Godslayer.
But just from the literal meaning of "Godslayer," Liu Xiang could feel a chilling intent to kill.
"Uh... could you explain a bit more?"
With an awkward mouth movement, curiosity eventually overcame fear, and Liu Xiang asked in a low voice.
"Are you sure you really want to continue listening? Not afraid of dying this time?"
With a semblance of a smirk, the woman raised her eyebrows at Liu Xiang, her voice betraying a hint of mischievousness.
"Well, if I must die, so be it!"
"I anyway don't have long to live, knowing some secrets and insider information unknown to all before dying makes me quite happy."
By nature thus, Liu Xiang spoke, both depressed and open-minded.
"This is your own words! You can't say I forced you afterward."
Not allowing Liu Xiang to retort, the woman finally revealed her background.
"Before ascending, my name was Yue Ying, just an ordinary person filled with curiosity like you."
"But in my era, ascension was not some daunting task, but a choice that naturally presented itself when the time was right."
"Some chose to ascend, others chose to stay, and some saw through the truth..."
Appearing to reminisce or perhaps lament...
The celestial being known as "Yue Ying" unintentionally slowed her pace, her gaze sweeping over the human villages established around the Southern Ghost City.
"At that time, I didn't understand what ascension meant, I only knew I could finally go find my master and senior sisters."
"I hated farewells, hated death, and hated chaos devoid of order even more."
"Yet I knew I had a mission on my shoulders, so before ascending, I left behind the 'Yanqin Three Generations Divination Technique' to somewhat fulfill the task assigned by my sect."
