248: Child of Misfortune

Jiang Ye handed the Evil Qi Orb to the Master of the Underworld Tower. After conversing with Ancestor Ming for over an hour, he left Seven Absolutes City and returned to the Jiang Family.

The three of them found Yan Kui, and Jiang Ye asked, "Uncle Yan, did you know that Wu Linglong's memories were sealed?"

Yan Kui said in an indifferent tone, "I knew. Why?"

Jiang Ye was speechless. "Then why didn't you tell me back then?"

"You didn't ask me, did you?"

"I... forget it! Are you hiding something from her? She doesn't seem to take you seriously at all."

"That's right! I've hidden it to the point where my strength is about the same as the strongest ants on this continent."

The faces of the three darkened simultaneously; they really wanted to curse! But they would surely be sent flying by him, so they decided not to indulge in the verbal spat.

Shi Bao said, "Is there any way to help us raise our Realm quickly? Otherwise, after we reach the Super Profound Domain, we could be trampled to death at any moment."

"No! I can't help you with that. Figure it out yourselves. I'm heading out."

The few were speechless. Jiang Ye asked, "Where are you going now?"

"I promised Xiao Qi and the others that I'd take the children to Tianxiang Tower for a meal today." Having said that, he left.

Jiang Ye and the other two could only shake their heads helplessly, sitting there in a daze for a while.

Suddenly, all three of them widened their eyes as they thought of the same thing. They quickly found a Cultivation secret chamber.

Jiang Ye released his Soul power and said in a fawning, flattering tone, "Grandmother, Grandmother Xing Li, we're going to die!"

"Huh?" Shi Bao and the other were stunned, both feeling that he had become somewhat shameless.

After a moment, the Souls of all three trembled simultaneously. Thud!

"Ah..."

The three appeared in the Soul space at the same time. Xing Li said with some impatience, "Didn't I say not to disturb me?"

"Grandmother, it really won't work without disturbing you this time. Our strength is too low. Now that we're going to the Super Profound Domain, we could be beaten to death at any time," Jiang Ye said.

Xing Li didn't answer directly. Only after a while did she slowly say, "You indeed don't have much time left. I can only buy you the final twenty years."

All three were dazed. Jiang Ye said, "Grandmother Xing Li, I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by 'not much time'? What do you mean by 'buying twenty years'?"

Xing Li looked at him and said seriously, "You are a child of misfortune! Everyone related to you will die one after another in twenty years."

Jiang Ye's head buzzed. After a pause, he asked, "What child of misfortune? Why do people related to me have to die?"

"A child of misfortune means that after you are born, you invisibly drain all the Luck of those related to you, allowing your life to proceed with incomparable smoothness. But during your last Cultivation, I forcibly dissipated a bit of your Aura of Misfortune. Originally, you had less than ten years before your Luck was exhausted and you died, but now you can live for twenty years."

Jiang Ye was so terrified that he became unsteady on his feet. He lost his composure and said nervously, "No... no... why? Why am I like this? Grandmother Xing Li, you can help me, right? You can help me..."

Xing Li said, "I cannot help you. Allowing you to live for another twenty years is already the limit of my ability!"

"I don't believe it! There must be a way, there must be a way to change it. Tell me! No matter how hard it is, I will definitely do it!" Jiang Ye stared at Xing Li, his heart filled with extreme panic and unease, fearing that a single word from her would extinguish all his hope.

Xing Li sighed, "Sigh! There is a way, but you cannot do it, because your time is running out!"

"Tell me, tell me! I can definitely do it!!" Hearing that there was hope, Jiang Ye said excitedly.

Xing Li shook her head and said, "Become the strongest on this continent, then undergo Ascension to the Divine Realm, and then Cultivate to the Peak. Seize the heavenly mandate sword from the hands of the eight Peak God Emperors and use it to sever your misfortune. All of this must be completed within twenty years. Can you do it?"

"This..."

Shi Feng said, "Isn't this just sending him to his death? How could anyone do so many things in twenty years? You want him to defy the heavens?"

Jiang Ye murmured, "Defy the heavens... World-Defying God Slaying Art... Yes! Uncle Yan once said that as long as I Cultivate it to Perfection, I can defy these heavens!"

Xing Li said, "Perhaps... you can try. I underestimated your Cultivation Technique before. I later reviewed it carefully; your World-Defying God Slaying Art is a legendary Creation Cultivation Technique!"

"Creation Cultivation Technique? What is that? If I Cultivate to the ninth stage, can I contend with the eight God Emperors of the Divine Realm and seize the heavenly mandate sword?"

Xing Li chuckled, "Hehe, complete the Cultivation? Ask the person who gave you the technique which stage he has reached. The reason I helped you reach the fifth stage last time was that I used my unique Divine Fire to temper your Soul. If you were to Cultivate normally, reaching it in twenty years would be a miracle!"

Jiang Ye's mind was racing. After a moment, he said, "Then is there a way to help me Breakthrough to the sixth stage now?"

"The sixth stage of your World-Defying God Slaying Art requires you to fully trigger the Awakening of that extremely powerful God Slaying Bloodline to completely control that Sky-Shattering Power. I can use the Divine Fire again to forge you within a Time Formation Array for half a year to awaken your Bloodline. As for what level you can awaken to, that depends entirely on yourself."

"Fine! I can also add the Power of Thunder to your Divine Fire for body tempering. That won't cause any issues, right?"

Xing Li said helplessly, "Do as you see fit. Some things cannot be rushed; just don't kill yourself. Also, you two should Cultivate together and Breakthrough another stage in your own techniques."

"Alright!"

Jiang Ye's current mood was extremely complex, but he knew he couldn't waste time. He needed to become super strong quickly; from now on, he had to Cultivate with his life on the line... A moment later,

The few arrived at a deserted mountaintop and entered the Time Formation Array to begin their respective Cultivations.

Jiang Ye directly took off his shirt and began the tempering! This time, he endured it through sheer will, not letting out a single scream of agony.

One day outside was a full month inside the Time Formation Array. At this time, Yan Kui also arrived nearby, watching Jiang Ye being tempered in Xing Li's Divine Fire without making a sound.

"Sigh! Will there really be a miracle?"

Xing Li teased, "You, a Great Demon God of the Divine Realm, have actually resigned yourself to fate?"

"The day I learned he was a child of misfortune, I originally thought of letting him live out these twenty-odd years happily. And I haven't been able to get the emperor god pearl from those people, so my cultivation cannot recover to its Peak. Since there's no hope for revenge, I might as well stay with them and live happily day by day."

"By the way, how did you know of my existence?"

Yan Kui smiled, "Hehehe, when he showed me his fifth-stage Soul Fire, it carried the aura of your Divine Fire!"

"So that's how it is. Aren't you going to give him a hand this time? He doesn't seem to accept his fate. Being tempered like this by my Divine Fire in the Time Formation Array, he hasn't uttered a single peep!"

Yan Kui looked at Jiang Ye, whose expression was pained from the Divine Fire tempering, and shook his head helplessly. "Sigh! Since you're unwilling to give up, then I shall help you one last time! Even if you can't defy heaven and change your fate in the end, you won't have any regrets."

Yan Kui's hands formed seals. "Demon God's Flame!"

Boom!!!
