The Cloud Plane had calmed down, but the damage from the battle this time could not be recovered in a short amount of time.
Moreover, the Cloud Plane had suffered heavy losses from the battle this time. Its overall strength plummeted. It was probably the weakest plane out of the forty-nine great planes of the Saints' World.
This was because the number of Grand Primes on the Cloud Plane had fallen to four. Only Tong Wuming of the Tong family, Lieyan Wuji of the Firegod clan, Zhou Zhidao of the Cosmic sect, and the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak remained.
Out of the four of them, the first three were heavily injured. It would be very difficult for them to return to their peak condition in a short amount of time. In particular, Lieyan Wuji burned his essence blood without any hesitation when he was forced into a corner by the Four Symbols Alliance with his fiery temper. After the battle, he had injured his essence blood as well, which led to a decline in his strength. Even his future breakthroughs would be affected to a certain extent.
Lieyan Wuji was not the most miserable one. Although he had injured his essence, there was still hope for him to make up for it if he spent some time and heavenly resources. Compared to the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak, his injuries were only minor.
The lord of the Heaven's Link Peak's body had been completely corroded by the power of the curse. He was forced to abandon it.
Originally, with the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak's cultivation, he should have been able to suppress the power of the curse and slow it down. Even though he could not eliminate it, he could last longer. The longer it lasted, the greater his chances of nullifying it completely.
However, the situation on the Cloud Plane had suddenly changed. He had only struck out decisively when he saw Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji basically unable to fight back against the Four Symbols Alliance. He no longer suppressed the power of the curse on him and used his full strength to fight against the Gentle Breeze Ancestor, keeping him busy.
If it were not for the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak's sacrifice, it would have been impossible for Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji to last until the Martial Soul lineage arrived. At the very least, one or two of them would have died.
This was because not only were they weaker individually, but they were also at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. The difference was just too great.
On this day, Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji no longer cared about healing. They dragged their injured bodies to the top of the Heaven's Link Peak.
Even Jianchen and Xu Ran of the Tianyuan family had come.
At this moment, the four top forces that represented the entire Yunzhou were gathered here.
Although the Tianyuan family's heritage was shallow, and the strongest person in the clan was only Xu Ran, no one dared to deny the Tianyuan family's status after this battle even if they did not rely on the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
Even though the Tianyuan family wasn't strong enough, they were at the same level as the Feng Family, Qiankun Sect, and Firegod Family. In fact, they were even stronger than them.
In front of the five of them was the Peak Master of Tongtian Peak.
This was the Primordial Spirit of the Heaven's Link Peak Lord. He had already abandoned his physical body and existed in the form of a Primordial Spirit.
However, even with that being the case, the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak was still unable to break free from the power of the curse. A green thread extended from his dantian in his soul. It seemed like it was trying to grow out of the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak.
The thread was the power of the curse. It was tough and powerful, like a parasite that could not be removed no matter what. Once it truly reached the forehead of the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak's soul, it would mean the death of the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak.
"Peak lord, this is Soul-cleansing Grass. It can purify the soul to a certain extent. Although it can't eliminate the power of the curse, it's better than nothing …"
"I also have a Heavenly Soul Pill here. It can strengthen the soul to a certain extent. Peak lord, you're currently being harassed by the power of the curse, so the more powerful your soul is, the better …"
…
Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji all took out heavenly resources that were extremely beneficial to the soul. Every single one of them was extremely precious, and they were even effective against Grand Primes. They were priceless treasures in the outside world.
Jianchen also took out some of the heavenly resources he had obtained from the Space Rings of Luo Mantian and the other Grand Primes in hopes of assisting the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak.
The lord of the Heaven's Link Peak was a respectable person. Jianchen also hoped that the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak could break free from the torment of the curse as soon as possible.
"These things are extremely useful to you as well, so there's no need to waste them on me. Even with these heavenly resources, they can only make me last for a few hundred years. If I suppress the power of the curse as hard as I can, I can last for over ten thousand years at the very least," said the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak. Heaven's Link Peak Lord said. His expression was peaceful, extremely calm, disregarding life and death, looking at it with indifference.
"Peak lord, don't worry. I will find an expert who has comprehended the Laws of Curses and remove your curse," Jianchen said firmly.
"Just a sliver of the power of the curse has forced the peak lord into such a state. The expert who left behind the Laws of Curses on Luo Mantian's dagger definitely isn't a Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. They're at the Fifth Heavenly Layer at the very least. I just happen to know a fellow who has comprehended the Laws of Curses to the Fifth Heavenly Layer, but his price is just too high. Our Cloud Plane can't afford it, "Lieyan Wuji said in pity.
"What does that fellow want in exchange for your help?" Tong Wuming's eyes lit up.
"He wants an Innate Wonder," Lieyan Wuji sighed. Lieyan Wuji sighed. Experts who had reached this level of cultivation no longer cared about ordinary items. Anything that could enter their eyes was extremely precious.
Tong Wuming and Zhou Zhidao's faces immediately darkened when they heard about the Innate Wonder.
Innate Wonders were just too precious. For example, the Rain Abbess' Innate Orchid of Five Elements and the Watercloud Iron that the Blue Sky Venerable required were both Innate Wonders.
Even though they were not as good as ninth grade God Tier treasures, they were even rarer than ninth grade God Tier treasures. Usually, they were in the hands of peak experts.
"There's no need for that. Don't I still have ten thousand years? I might be able to find a way to remove the power of the curse during that time …" said the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak.
…
After leaving the Heaven's Link Peak, Jianchen seemed rather silent. He had been thinking about how he could help the lord of the Heaven's Link Peak.
Only Fifth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes could comprehend the Laws of Curses. The only people he could think of were the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng and the Dao clan. Perhaps the two peak organisations did not have someone who had comprehended the Laws of Curses to that level, but they were completely capable of inviting such an expert with their reputation.
Jianchen did not consider the Dao clan at all. As a result, only the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng remained.
He still had a lot of merit from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. The merit should have been enough for the first majesty to personally take action. However, he had always treated the merit from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng as a final protective talisman for the Tianyuan family. He planned on using it against the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. If he used it now, it would be equivalent to cutting off the final path of retreat for the Tianyuan family.
