89: Chapter 88 Life-Devouring Secret Method, Hundred Lives Tribulation (4/10) 89: Chapter 88 Life-Devouring Secret Method, Hundred Lives Tribulation (4/10) “What does your blunder have to do with me?

It’s your own fault for insisting on seclusion and inviting disaster.”

The deep, unyielding voice of the Western Patrol Envoy carried an air of undeniable authority, but the Northern Patrol Envoy didn’t put up with his bad temper, “We had agreed that each of the Strange Mandates would be for one of us, first come, first served.

You failed to secure yours, don’t expect to drag me into it.”

She wasn’t surprised by the failure, shaking her head, “Not to mention, those Martial Artists who seek to control the Fate Pattern of a ‘Strange Mandate’ are bound to face difficulty.

Each of these youngsters is essentially a Child of Heavenly Mandate, differing only in the strength of their Fate Pattern.”

“An Jing is a Strange Mandate, and unless he wishes, it is absolutely impossible to capture him and bring him back quietly.

Xu Changjing is merely an insignificant Daoist Priest, it’s quite normal for him to be overpowered by backlash…

It’s more surprising to me that the others are still alive.”

At this point, she changed the subject, “Indeed, you’re afraid of the Mysterious Mirror, aren’t you?”

“After all, he’s the one among the younger generation most likely to step onto the ‘Divine Altar’s Manifestation of Holiness’ having unlocked the three major Divine Repositories of essence, energy, and spirit.

Though I can hold my own for a while with the power of my Fate Pattern and Divine Skills, I would surely be defeated in a one-on-one fight.”

“Not to mention a villain like you, who practices the ‘Life-Devouring Secret Method,’ would likely face swift defeat against the Mysterious Mirror’s Heavenly Slaughter Purging Evil Divine Light Mirror!”

“True, I cultivate the Life-Devouring Secret Method, but you also practice the ‘Hundred Lives Tribulation.’ Aren’t you also a villain?”

Behind the Water Mirror, the towering figure of the Western Patrol Envoy sneered, “The whereabouts of the Mysterious Mirror are indeed a mystery, having vanished shortly after the Heavenly Demon broke the seal.”

“But I have consumed various lives, and after completing my seclusion, I have unlocked the third Divine Repository and reached the realm where ‘all actions are unhindered.’ On equal standing, why should I fear him?”

“So boastful about being able to run if you can’t beat him.”

The Northern Patrol Envoy couldn’t help but laugh, “Moreover, my Hundred Lives Tribulation strictly follows ancient rules.

With each tribulation, I fulfill their wishes, considering the opinions of those involved…

They were thanking me for rescuing them from the hellish mortal world before they passed away.”

“Such acts generate karma vastly different from you grabbing someone and just gobbling them down.”

The ‘Life-Devouring Secret Method,’ the ‘Hundred Lives Tribulation,’ the ‘Nine Deaths Life Transformation,’ and the ‘Inheriting Karma Bearing Fate.’

These are the four most essential and profound Secret Techniques of the Divine Sect’s Heavenly Mandate techniques.

The Life-Devouring Secret Method nourishes the soul and spirit, achieving power through consumption.

The ancient technique, also known as ‘Life Transmutation,’ required finding an elderly, lonely Life Holder to care for until their death, organize their funeral, and ensure their lineage continues with descendants.

Afterward, by consuming their five viscera, one could inherit their Fate Pattern, advancing and progressing further.

However, in this era of decline and great calamity, with Heaven’s Will indistinct, Life Transmutation has become the Life-Devouring Secret Method.

There’s no need to care for the elderly or continue their lineage—simply finding a group with isolated fates, devoid of familial ties, allows one to slowly cultivate and transform them into nourishment for one’s own life.

This is also the prototype of the technique for creating Blood Pills.

And the Hundred Lives Tribulation, an ancient technique known as ‘Karmic Retribution of Fate,’ requires finding a hundred people with a similar fate.

By shifting one’s own tribulation onto others, one can strive for emptiness and purity, allowing one’s own fate to ascend.

The ancient technique required the consent of the Transmigration Undertaker, fulfilling their wishes, and obtaining their blood-written contract.

Only then, with the flow of cause and effect, can one complete the karmic tribulation.

In the current time, with a more lenient Heaven’s Will, the consent of the Transmigration Undertaker is not needed—simply having their blood-written contract and superficially fulfilling their wishes suffices.

The vast majority of Transmigration Undertakers are either unaware or coerced into signing deceitful contracts.

Unable to fulfill their dreams, and instead having to endure tribulations and disasters, they often succumb to depression and die prematurely.

The Northern Patrol Envoy follows the ancient, incredibly tedious ways, which are considered outdated and superfluous in the current era.

“In any event.”

The Western Patrol Envoy did not want to quarrel with his old colleague, saying, “The situation this time is indeed out of the ordinary.”

“Take a look at this.”

With that, the misty Water Mirror trembled slightly, and the figure vanished.

In its place appeared a segment of battle footage, clearly recorded from high above.

“The flying shuttle’s water mirror recording?” The Northern Patrol Envoy raised an eyebrow.

Whether it be the official Da Chen shuttles or the civilian ones, there would always be a recording of the flight process.

This should be the shadowy recording left by the flying shuttle that was tracking An Jing.

She glanced casually at the water mirror, then her pupils slightly widened.

Even with her cultivation and experience, she couldn’t help but after watching once, asked the Western Patrol Envoy to play it again.

After watching it twice, she let out a sigh and placed the wine cup she was holding onto the railing, “Swordsmanship…

or rather, the Sword Case Secret Technique!”

“When did our Governor An master the Daoist Priest’s Sword Dao secret techniques?”

She was actually quite curious about An Jing.

The ‘Mysterious Yin Goddess’ whom she had brought back from Hanging Fate Manor seemed to be very familiar with An Jing, speaking of him with great admiration in her rare utterances.

The Northern Patrol Envoy had always wanted to know just what kind of magic this young man possessed to be able to suppress Bai Qinghan, a genius with extraordinary talent, and even make all the Children of Calamity in Hanging Fate Manor acknowledge him from their hearts.

But now, she seemed to understand.

First, there was the flying sword Artifact whose origins were unknown.

After experiencing the rebellion against the Divine Sect, the great battle in Hanging Fate Valley, the appearance of the Heavenly Demon, and being pursued for days by the Divine Sect’s flying shuttle and Divine Skill fated weapon, An Jing was still able to calmly assess the situation, finding a sufficiently high and open place to prepare for a counterattack.

It is known that even the most elite soldiers, when pursued from high above by a flying shuttle for several days, would become too nervous and lose their sanity, resulting in some frantic actions.

Even if fear was suppressed, the vast majority would certainly not dare to expose themselves outside the woods, let alone like An Jing, who voluntarily went to the side of the mountain, exposing himself under the vision of the flying shuttle, just to close the distance and better counterattack the pursuing hands of the Divine Sect.

He did it — a kill with a single strike.

And the power of that flying sword stirred her heart, “The power of one strike from this Artifact…

ordinary Inner Breath like Tide probably wouldn’t be able to activate it!

And it’s likely that An Jing’s Inner Breath is as Vast as River.

Even if he was forced to activate it by consuming an elixir, it’s enough to prove that his foundation is as deep as a lake or sea!”

“Besides, he has acquired this Artifact from somewhere unknown and learned the Method of Motion.

Truly bizarre and wondrous.”

“This is the reason for my caution.”

The Western Patrol Envoy said, “Behind him, there might be the shadow of the Da Chen officiate, or perhaps the Dust Li Sects…

This is not merely about a Strange Mandate who has left the sect.

Behind him, there might be even bigger schemes.”

“Wait a second.”

The Northern Patrol Envoy, upon hearing the other’s words, couldn’t help but frown slightly, “An Jing hasn’t left the sect — he’s only killed a few minions.

Isn’t that the demeanor that should be exhibited by our people of the Divine Sect?

He has a nature that would never accept any restraints, and Da Chen is the same.”

“In the end, he’ll have a change of heart and return to the Divine Sect.”

“Are you saying…

that’s still not enough?”

With a heavy voice, the Northern Patrol Envoy said, “Are you thinking of devouring him?”

“Heh.”

A deep voice responded, “We had a deal to share it between the two of us.

This time I was caught off guard by Da Chen, and you took all the Life Holders.

I’m the one at a loss, so don’t meddle in my affairs.”
