Chapter 803: Chapter 543: This Divine Skill, please accept it, my Taoist friend!_2
"Why does fellow Daoist find yourself among these polluted Spirit Ancient Dao Soldiers?"
Dao Xuan heard the words and was silent for a while, then turned his gaze to the place where the Daoist Temple had originally disappeared, and the rolling black qi surging at the edge of the White Bright Heaven and Earth, before speaking:
"I, Dao Xuan, am a member of the Human race born on the Nine Provinces, and due to a fortunate chance, I was inadvertently noticed by my master who was traveling the mortal world, and accepted into the Taoist Sky Sect."
"As I am inherently slow-witted, unlike my other senior brothers and sisters who possess a refined Dao heart, able to cultivate while managing other affairs, since joining the Heavenly Sect, I have focused solely on ’cultivation’."
"Due to my decent fortune and the favor of my master, I managed to cultivate to the Spirit Ancient Realm smoothly, but..."
At this point, Dao Xuan’s expression darkened, and anger and sorrow emerged in his eyes, as he continued, "Those beings that had long perished in the river of time resurfaced for some reason and attacked the Nine Provinces!"
"Anyone who has reached the Ancient One Realm has been cursed by those beings, undergoing all sorts of unbelievable transformations."
"My master, at the last moment, sealed me within this Spirit Ancient Dao Soldiers and used the power of Formation to isolate the inside from the outside, trying to prevent the curse spreading to us."
"But..."
Dao Xuan’s expression turned even gloomier as he stopped speaking.
He was ultimately infected by the curse, his cultivation dissipated, his flesh rotted, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, transforming into a rotten evil corpse that lacked spiritual intellect, akin to a wild beast.
Even he suffered such fate, which means his master, whose cultivation was higher and didn’t have time to protect himself with spells, faced an even stronger Power of Curse and had a far more tragic outcome!
Qin Zheng absorbed Dao Xuan’s words into his heart, waiting for Dao Xuan to calm down, before curiously asking again, "What is the curse you mentioned, Daoist?"
He understood that the Nine Provinces, mentioned by the other party, was a realm higher than the Chaos Sea, but what kind of curse actually left those strong at the Spirit Ancient Level powerless to resist!
The Spirit Ancient is above the other shore, equivalent to the transcendent realm of the Chaos Sea!
Dao Xuan, upon hearing this, showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes before speaking again: "In endless years past, the groups on the Nine Provinces could only reach the Other Shore Realm at most."
"But at that time, there was another realm on the Nine Provinces called the Ancient Realm, inhabited by a group known as the ’Ancients,’ possessing powers far beyond the other shore."
"At that time, the beings on the entire Nine Provinces lived under the enslavement of the Ancient Clan, no one could resist them, nor dared to resist them because their power was simply too strong!"
"In such times, any member of the Ancient Clan could possess terrifying power enough to annihilate the entire Nine Provinces!"
Dao Xuan’s eyes showed more hesitation, but he continued to speak: "Until one day, the Ancient Realm fell into the Nine Provinces, and the Ancient Clan within mysteriously disappeared."
"Thus, the beings of the Nine Provinces inherited the legacy and power of the Ancient Realm, mastering the power originally belonging to the Ancient Clan."
"The ancestors divided the power of the Ancient Clan into three levels: Spirit Ancient, Divine Ancient, and Tao Ancient, just like the levels of Myth, Creation, and other shore."
"It is said that above Tao Ancient, there is an even more powerful realm, which even the top-level powerhouses of the Ancient Clan did not reach, called Ancient!"
"These were the records I found in the ancient books of the Heavenly Sect during my cultivation, thought to be mere fabrications by predecessors and not taken to heart, until later..." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Dao Xuan’s expression grew incredibly heavy, as he continued speaking, "The fall of the Ancient Realm in the past, and the disappearance of the Ancient Clan within, must be related to the powerhouses of the Nine Provinces!"
"So, the vengeful souls of the Ancient Clan struggled desperately to break free from the constraints of time again, descending upon the Nine Provinces anew, cursing everyone who touched the power of the Ancient Clan!"
Qin Zheng pondered Dao Xuan’s words, continuously extracting information revealed in his speech, identifying any doubts and flaws before asking again:
"Daoist, you mentioned earlier that the strongest on the Nine Provinces before could only reach the other shore, so how could beings of the Other Shore Level shake the Ancient Realm, causing the disappearance of the clan within?"
Facing Qin Zheng’s question, Dao Xuan also shook his head, indicating he was unaware.
Then he thought for a moment before continuing to speak to Qin Zheng: "What I mentioned before regarding the Ancient Realm was all derived from books and not personally witnessed; it’s difficult to ensure its truth."
"But the descent of vengeful spirits from the Ancient Clan, spreading the Power of Curse to curse everyone who touched the power of the Ancient Clan, is something I have personally experienced."
"So, I can only speculate, perhaps the powerhouses on the Nine Provinces mastered something capable of destroying the Ancient Realm at that time, annihilating the Ancient Clan and seizing their power."
Qin Zheng nodded slightly, knowing these were merely Dao Xuan’s speculations and not true facts, so there was no need to delve further.
He shifted his thoughts and, with a flickering gaze, asked again, "Before you regained consciousness, you mentioned the ’ultimate treasure of the Ancient Clan’; can you elaborate on this now?"
Upon hearing the words, Dao Xuan furrowed his brows lightly, lowered his head as if sorting through his memories, then raised his head again to look at Qin Zheng, speaking gravely:
"I have no memory of the time after being cursed; I can’t recall anything now."
"However... since I once spoke of the ’ultimate treasure of the Ancient Clan,’ I fear it might be the curse within me, containing part of the memories from the Ancient Clan, causing the illusion of having seen it."
Dao Xuan contemplated aloud, then looked at Qin Zheng, hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "I understand that fellow Daoist possesses a treasure capable of purifying the Power of Curse, but I truly do not know its relation to the Ancient Clan."
Qin Zheng remained calm, nodding slightly upon hearing this, redirected the topic, and asked again, "The realm I reside in is not the Nine Provinces but a place called Chaos Sea."
"The entire realm is currently under pollution attack; could Daoist inform me whether our referred pollution is related to the curse you mentioned?"
He initially thought the pollution infiltrating the Chaos Sea was a manifestation of a strong person’s malice, but now it seemed the scope of pollution was more extensive.
At this moment, he even speculated whether the so-called Polluted Land could indeed be the Nine Provinces that had completely fallen under the spread of the curse.
Upon hearing this, Dao Xuan looked at the rolling black qi at the edge of the White Bright Heaven and Earth, pointing his hand and said, "Those black qi are the Power of Curse."
Qin Zheng nodded in understanding immediately, completely confirming that the pollution in the Chaos Sea originates from the Power of Curse on the Nine Provinces!
Almost at the moment this thought settled.
Hum!!
Above the Heart Sea, the Merit Scroll gently shook, and then infinite golden light emerged, tinting the entire Heart Sea in gold.
Qin Zheng split a trace of his mind to observe, finding no further changes, understanding at once that it was the Merit Scroll undergoing another transformation.
Pollution Qi... Power of Curse...
This should be an adjustment for a self-transformation upon having refreshed cognition and more complete information.
After confirming this situation, Qin Zheng withdrew his mind and again looked at the young Taoist opposite him, speaking once more: "Since what we refer to as Pollution Qi is the curse Daoist speaks of."
"I request that Daoist send me out of this realm, allowing me to first slay those who have lost their true nature due to the curse, to prevent the spread of the curse."
He had gleaned enough information from the Daoist’s mouth and now needed to return to the true realm to resolve the Heavenly Emperor’s Avatar.
However, after speaking, Dao Xuan first nodded before shaking his head, then he spoke: "Fellow Daoist, for waking me, you have done me a favor."
"Now, fighting against the Power of Curse, you certainly need help from comrades."
"I see that fellow Daoist’s strength is currently somewhat weak, so I ask that you accept this Divine Skill."
After Dao Xuan finished speaking, he raised his right hand, flicked his fingers, and immediately a stream of light fell into Qin Zheng’s forehead!
