Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 240 - The Autonomous Body

Chapter 240: The Autonomous Body

“Curses?”

Fairy Gui wasn’t surprised, only asking, “What type of curse do you want?”

What type? Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Curses are different, for example, a luck-type curse is a comprehensive curse. It makes everything go wrong for the person. But because it’s not specific, it’s not easy to succeed. To succeed, you must pay a significant price. Specific curses, on the other hand, can be immediate or delayed. For example, ‘to die a terrible death’ or ‘to end one’s lineage’ can be effective immediately or gradually over decades. The curse I placed on Flood Dragon is of this kind, targeting its body with a ‘decay’ curse to dissolve its physique and cultivation,” explained Fairy Gui.

“Can’t I have both?” Jiang Hao asked.

“You can, but all curses have backlash, and I only provide one way to avoid the backlash. So do you want to avoid the backlash of a comprehensive curse or a specific one?” Fairy Gui asked.

Jiang Hao understood that all curses have backlash, so when cursing others, one must pay a price.

Fairy Gui didn’t mind giving out the technique of cursing, but she cared about giving out the method to avoid it.

That meant the avoidance method was the core of the curse.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Hao said, “I’ll take the specific type.”

This type was simple and convenient with a high success rate.

For a beginner, this naturally seemed like the better choice.

However, he was unsure about the difficulty of learning curses and could only see when the time came.

“Alright.”

Fairy Gui nodded, then continued, “After confirming at the Huangsha River, I will give you the item at the next gathering.”

Jiang Hao nodded, no longer speaking.

After their conversation ended, Liu slowly spoke up: “Do you have any good methods of creating a clone to recommend?”

“If it’s for protection, you should choose some orthodox external bodies.”

Star pondered for a moment and said, “Haotian Sect has a secret method called Autonomous Body, which should be the most suitable.”

“Can you get it?” Liu asked.

“It will take some time.”

Star nodded and continued, “There’s another option, the incarnation secret technique of the Mingyue Sect, the Myriad Beings Form. It allows you to use any sentient being as an avatar.”

“By sentient beings, I mean spiritual medicines, spiritual beasts, and spiritual plants. I can give this to you now.”

“What do you want in return?” Liu asked.

“Help me find someone. She will flee overseas soon, I will tell you the details later,” Xing said.

“Do you need her alive?”

“Either way is fine.”

Jiang Hao was quite surprised listening to their transaction.

The secret techniques of the Haotian Sect and the Mingyue Sect could be traded.

What kind of identity did Xing have?

However, he did not show his curiosity, as the three individuals present all had higher status, cultivation, and strength than him.

Maintaining a mysterious and powerful persona was indeed challenging.

Once the transaction was confirmed, Liu reminded them:

“I’ve heard from some people overseas that someone has speculated that the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead is in the south. Some might have gone to look for it.”

“The south?” Fairy Gui exclaimed.

“Then I must leave quickly. If it really erupts, it will be too late to escape. Do you plan to leave, Fellow Jing?”

Jiang Hao shook his head without explaining.

He couldn’t exactly say that wherever he went, the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead would be there, could he?

But since people overseas had guessed its location, he needed to be cautious.

At that moment, Dan Yuan suddenly spoke up:

“The Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead is of great importance. If people overseas are trying to seize it, it’s best to notify some immortal sects discreetly so they can prepare.”

“What would happen if the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead erupted and no one stopped it?” Xing asked curiously.

This was a question Jiang Hao was also curious about.

He didn’t know the specifics.

“If no one stops it, the entire land will become a living hell. According to the records, there was an unparalleled great war in ancient times, where countless powerful beings died, and the world collapsed, leading to the extinction of all creatures. The war ceased because the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead appeared. Everyone joined forces to seal the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead,” Dan Yuan explained.

Jiang Hao listened with some trepidation.

Was the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead really that terrifying?

No wonder Dan Yuan said to notify the Haotian Sect immediately; any delay would make the situation uncontrollable.

For a moment, Jiang Hao hesitated whether he should find time to go to the Demon Cavern and return the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead to its ruins.

But keeping it with him could indeed deter others.

The only prerequisite for a successful deterrence was that the other party knew the terror of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

Threatening Bai Ye with it might not be very effective.

“By the way,” Dan Yuan suddenly remembered something.

“The mission regarding the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower can continue. How to plant it, the appearance of the flower, and the blooming process.”

The others nodded.

But such information was almost impossible to find.

It all depended on luck.

Jiang Hao knew the process but couldn’t reveal it.

Speaking out would cause big problems.

After listening to their discussion for a while longer, the gathering ended.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Hao began to sort out what he had gained that day.

“Xing’s identity is quite extraordinary, Liu’s status overseas is not bad either, and there’s no more news about the Fairy Gui.”

“The people from the Great Thousand Divine Sect have obtained the Secret Whisper Slate, and I should be able to learn what it’s for at the next gathering. I should also be able to obtain the curse technique next time.”

“Then there’s the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead. It might not be long before trouble approaches the Tianyin Sect again.”

He knew the origin of the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, but not what had happened in that era.

“Dan Yuan mentioned the ancient war, and Hong Yuye did as well. It just so happens that the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead was sealed in the Demon Cavern.”

“It seems that the mine below is an ancient battlefield, and it’s possible that ancient powers clashed within the Demon Cavern.”

If all this was true, then the Tianyin Sect was truly beyond comprehension.

Who would establish a sect here?

Wasn’t that asking for the sect to have a short lifespan?

If it could be utilized well, it would be like having divine assistance, but as it stood, the Tianyin Sect did not have such strength.

Thus, it was very dangerous, not from external threats, but internal ones.

For example, the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

If there were others, a slight misstep could destroy the entire sect.

He didn’t dwell on it further, as these matters were still far off.

If something did happen, he would be powerless to stop it.

“Xing is looking for someone, and the location is overseas. It’s a pity I can’t make contact, or I could roughly understand Xing’s background.”

He needed to figure out the general identities of these people to prepare accordingly.

But for now, the biggest gain was that he had demonstrated his value and secured his undercover position.

Dan Yuan’s side was fine, but the important thing was the Fairy Gui’s side.

Once she found Flood Dragon and confirmed the item, his mysterious and powerful image would begin to emerge.

“Now it’s just a matter of waiting, waiting for the Fairy Gui to go to the Huangsha River and for the next gathering.”

The gathering would have to wait, so he had to start dealing with the affairs within the sect.

With Cheng Chou absent from the outer sect Spiritual Medicine Garden, he needed to keep an eye on it.

It was also time to make a trip to Chu Chuan’s side.

Check on his progress while you’re at it.

In a few years, the Mingyue Sect is going to hold a Dao Discussion Conference.

It would be best if Chu Chuan, who has reached the Foundation Establishment, could attend.

Besides that, the most important thing is to accumulate Qi bubbles and then advance.

Du Yong needs to be watched to see when he will hand over the Corpse Heart.

A trip to the Lawless Tower is also necessary.

It’s just that the thought of the Tianhuan Pavilion’s Pavilion Master possibly showing up makes him not want to go.
