Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

It seemed that his crushing defeat at the hands of Huayue and Mu Hanyan earlier had indeed dealt him a great blow, as he hadn’t completely recovered yet.

”Oh, are you planning to seek refuge with Mu Hanfeng or Mu Feng?” Mu Hanyan asked Jiang Yuzhe in surprise.

She had never heard of such a thing, but upon reflection, she realized it made sense. There had been too many things she hadn’t known about before. Perhaps Jiang Yuzhe had met Mu Hanfeng or Mu Feng but wasn’t won over by them. Naturally, there was no talk of seeking refuge, and it was normal for her not to know.

”Actually, it’s not just me. I am the eldest grandson of the Jiang Family. If I seek refuge with one of the two, it’s likely that the Jiang Family will also form an alliance with the Mu Family in the future,” Jiang Yuzhe said.

”Why?” Mu Hanyan asked, puzzled. The power of the Jiang Family was no less than that of the Mu Family in Heishi City; there was no need to seek their protection.

”Because the Jiang Family has already decided to attach itself to the Yan Family, and I will become a follower of Yan Yuchu. Although surviving by depending on the strong isn’t something shameful, I don’t want my destiny to be controlled by others,” Jiang Yuzhe said, clenching his cup, his last sentence uttered almost word by word.

For the sake of cultivating a sword technique fragment, abandoning the family’s ultimate skill could be seen as stubborn or resolute. In any case, such a person would never let their destiny be controlled by others. Mu Hanyan didn’t find his thinking strange.

However, she still didn’t quite understand; the power of the Jiang Family seemed no less than that of the Yan Family in Shanyang City. Why would they depend on them?

”What benefits did the Yan Family promise to the Jiang Family?” Mu Hanyan asked. She was very curious about what benefits could be so tempting.

”How would I know? But no matter what the benefits are, I absolutely cannot agree. There’s something I haven’t mentioned yet. Once I follow Yan Yuchu, I must give up everything I’ve learned and instead cultivate the Yan’s Skill. It’s said that this cultivation technique involves three people cultivating together, with Yan Yuchu as the principal and me and another as supplements, drawing the Nine Heavens Star Power for our own use. It’s said to be infinitely mysterious,” Jiang Yuzhe replied.

”What!” Mu Hanyan exclaimed in shock.

The first time she enhanced her cultivation with the help of Star Illusion Thousand Machine, it was through the vast and mighty power found in Heart Rain, which could also be considered a kind of Nine Heavens Star Power. To her knowledge, no cultivation technique had ever been able to harness the Nine Heavens Star Power.

”Incredible, isn’t it? I also found it unbelievable. Our cultivation techniques on the Holy Court Continent, even the most profound, only involve harnessing the Heaven and Earth Power. Never have I heard of a technique that could extract power from the Nine Heavenly Stars.

According to my grandfather, those stars seem tiny only because they are so far away from us. In reality, they might be much larger than our Holy Court Continent and are also filled with powerful energy. Some even have spaces similar to our continent, with even denser Heaven and Earth Qi. If one could harness it, the efficiency would be doubled.

Of course, for the average person, this is impossible since they are too far away, but the Yan Family’s secret technique allows three people to assist each other and draw the power of the Nine Heavenly Stars. If I follow Yan Yuchu, while he would gain the most benefit, I also stand to gain considerably,” Jiang Yuzhe continued, seeing the shocked expression on Mu Hanyan’s face.
