Mr. Wen's words had given this strange Taoist miasma an accurate description …
Perhaps it was the Dao miasma, or perhaps it was a curse. In short, it was something that would make people lose control of themselves …
In fact, even if they had heard about the fearsomeness of this cultivation method from Mr. Wen, they still couldn't help but practice it.
They knew that they would die, but they still practiced it.
This was because after inheriting this cultivation method, there would be a kind of poison, or perhaps a curse, planted on one's Taoist Heart. The stronger one's Taoist Heart was before, the stronger the temptation would be now. It could be said that these cultivation methods were not harmful in themselves. In fact, he also had a very deep understanding of the Great Path. However, it just so happened that when this inheritance fell on someone who had cultivated, it would form a terrifying power. It was like a seed had fallen on the cultivator's Taoist Heart, sucking away all the flesh and magical power and growing a Taoist Fruit that belonged to someone else. If this was a kind of tribulation, then this was undoubtedly a kind of mental tribulation for cultivators …
These three cultivation methods had drawn out the tribulation of the cultivator's Dao Heart, and turned it into a powerful poison.
To some extent, he was using the cultivator's own spear to attack his own shield.
"Could it be that … I've fallen into an unsolvable tribulation just because I've listened to this scripture?"
Fang Xing was in a daze. He didn't know what to do.
Their cultivation was too weak, and their knowledge was too limited …
Fang Xing had been through many trials and tribulations all his life. He had seen many open and hidden attacks. His vigilance could not be said to be weak, and his methods could not be said to be weak. However, he had still inexplicably fallen into a trap. Even after falling into a trap, he had spent a lot of effort to figure out why he had fallen into a trap. This was a trap that he had fallen into due to his innate lack of knowledge …
He had fallen!
Fang Xing couldn't help but admit that he had fallen into a trap for no reason.
However, he still couldn't accept this result … Was there really no solution?
"There is probably a solution …" Mr. Wen muttered to himself.
Mr. Wen's words attracted Fang Xing's attention.
"The higher the cultivation of this miasma, the heavier the Heart Tribulation. Just like me, when I first obtained this technique, I couldn't even bury my entire body into it. Even though I knew that it might be inappropriate, I didn't care. But later on, more than half of my cultivation was taken away, and the Heart Tribulation faded. Only then could I maintain my rationality and speak to you here. If you want to remove the Heart Tribulation for them …"
"Say no more!"
Fang Xing didn't wait for Mr. Wen to finish speaking, and interrupted him. His face was as cold as ice.
He understood what Mr. Wen meant. This man was trying to encourage him to escape. Mr. Wen believed that the only way to solve the problem of the Heart Tribulation was to disperse his cultivation. Then, he would be able to get rid of the Heart Tribulation. His cultivation was the weakest among the three. So, his Heart Tribulation was also the weakest. But, he and the others would be crippled if they followed Mr. Wen's method. They wouldn't be able to improve their cultivation. In fact, they would be crippled for the rest of their lives. And, they wouldn't be able to cultivate for the rest of their lives …
Fang Xing wouldn't accept this method even if it was effective.
"Oh, I don't want to give you this advice. But, there's no other way …"
Mr. Wen smiled bitterly, "This Immortal Territory is extremely strange. How can we get rid of it so easily? We may have a chance to escape now. But, we won't even have a chance if we continue to wear it down. You have this inheritance in your body. It's like a deadly poison in your heart. It could flare up at any time. You won't be able to compete with the other Reverends. To be honest, they don't need to think about suppressing you even if they suspect you. They can just wait for you to die from the poison … "
"I have to admit that the creatures in this Immortal Territory can use a vicious method …"
"… but it's also a very clever and vicious method."
Mr. Wen was getting more and more desperate as he spoke. His words were like ice that had descended upon Fang Xing's heart.
"That can't be right. How did the Nine-headed Worm do it?"
Fang Xing had one good thing about him. The more desperate the situation was, the calmer he became. Mr. Wen had been grieving for a long time. But, he had begun to think of a solution. He had thought of the Nine-headed Worm. That guy had also entered this Immortal Territory. Fang Xing didn't believe that the other Reverends hadn't done anything to him. But, how had he managed to escape?
"The Nine-headed Worm?"
Mr. Wen smiled bitterly, "How can we compare to him?"
He looked at Fang Xing and sighed, "I know that you and Third Prince Ao have set foot on this Immortal Path. You want to be enemies with the Jiu Ling King. But, I want to ask you this. Do you really understand the greatest demon in the last ten thousand years?"
"The greatest demon in the last ten thousand years?"
Fang Xing was shocked by Mr. Wen's words. He looked at him in disbelief.
He had always known that the Nine-headed Worm was very powerful. But, he had never thought that he would have such an awe-inspiring title.
"That's right. The Jiu Ling King can't be underestimated. He has a short lifespan, but his cultivation is unparalleled. I think he is the strongest among the Nine Saints of Heavenly Origin. Moreover, I don't think anyone among the Nine Saints of Heavenly Origin would be able to defeat him. Perhaps only the top few would be able to suppress him. At the very least, I know that Mr. Lan mentioned that even his brother, the Great Sage Gou Li, is afraid of the Jiu Ling King. He said that only the Old Sage Fu Sang can defeat him in the Northern Demon Land!"
Mister Wen suddenly opened his mouth and said with a yearning look, "People of this world may not know much about this Nine-headed Insect. You only know how he plotted to seize the Cang Lan Sea. However, I know that he was active four thousand years ago. He was only a young demon who had cultivated for a hundred years at that time, but he had already made a name for himself. The Nine-headed Insect Clan wasn't one of the eight great bloodlines of the Demon Race at that time. However, he and his sister had made a name for themselves in the following thousand years. They had suppressed the eight great bloodlines of the Demon Race …"
"How could he be so powerful?"
Fang Xing couldn't help but be startled.
He himself had grown up from nothing. He knew how difficult it was. It was really blood and tears at every step, and there was even indescribable luck in between. That was how he was able to achieve what he had today. He had never underestimated himself and thought that he was quite capable. Therefore, he was unwilling to believe that there would be another person like him, who had started from nothing and climbed to the top step by step!
"There was a rumor that the Nine-headed Bug had obtained an ancient inheritance …"
Mister Wen told him everything he knew, "You should know that the Immortals were banished from the starry sky after the great war between the Immortals and the Sages. Some of them left behind inheritances, and the Jiu Ling King was one of them. It's very likely that it was the complete inheritance of one of the Ancient Sages. Legend has it that he used that inheritance to dominate the world and defeat all the Heaven's Chosen. However, he seemed to have comprehended something and disappeared at the height of his glory. He didn't try to turn the Nine-headed Insect Clan into a great demon clan. He reappeared in the world as an honored guest of the Blue Waves Sea and the brother-in-law of the Dragon Monarch. I think you already know what happened after that …" Mister Wen explained everything he knew, "You should know that the Immortals were banished from the starry sky after the great war between the Immortals and Sages.
"I suspect that the Jiu Ling King's strength, spirit, and heart had reached the pinnacle of perfection. Therefore, the Lord of the Immortal Realm didn't dare to bully him too much. He even tried to use the title of Dragon Sovereign to tempt him. However, he obviously didn't fall for it. I don't know if he didn't accept the three inheritances from the beginning, or if he used his own spirit to resolve the Heart Tribulation. In short, he wasn't controlled and didn't fight against the Lord of the Immortal Realm. Instead, he stole the Immortal's life and fled. The price he paid was that he left behind many of his nephews. Alas, it's a pity that we don't know the powerful spirit technique that the siblings are proficient in. Moreover, the Dragon Mother has been separated in the starry sky. Otherwise, the Dragon Mother would have received the spirit inheritances of her brothers. She might have been able to resolve the Heart Tribulation …"
Although everything was just speculation, Fang Xing finally had some understanding of the Nine-headed Bug …
That fellow is truly extraordinary. No matter if it's because the Immortal Realm was afraid of his strength and didn't force him to inherit the three Grand Dao Arts, or if he relied on his brilliant soul technique to deal with the Heart Tribulation after he inherited the three Grand Dao Arts, it at least proves that he didn't rely on luck to escape the Immortal Realm, and it was a form of true ability that I'm unable to compare to …
Of course, what he did was also somewhat cruel and merciless, but it was something that he didn't want to do!
Even though he was so powerful, he didn't want to fight against the Immortal Realm. Therefore, he sacrificed his nephews and left without caring about their lives. Although he did have a chance to escape now, he didn't want to sacrifice Lu Sou and Ao Lie, so he stayed!
"Actually … if that's the case, if we can find Yu Mei 'er, there's still hope to resolve the Heart Tribulation?"
After pondering for a long time, Fang Xing suddenly said in a low voice with his brows tightly knitted together.
"Their spirit technique is extremely powerful. It's possible that they can resist and resolve the Heart Tribulation. But …"
Mr. Wen forced a smile and said, "We were separated in the sea of stars. What are the chances of her surviving?"
Fang Xing didn't raise his head and said, "You were able to reach the Immortal Realm alive. They have powerful spirits and a small world. Why can't they?"
Mr. Wen was startled. Then, he said, "I'm afraid that they have already left even if they managed to reach this place alive. The Dragon Mother, Yu Mei 'er, should've sensed that there's something wrong with this Immortal Realm. So, it's very likely that she would've taken a detour to leave this place. Or, she could've used Mr. Lan's small world to deceive people and sneak away. There's no reason for her to stay here …"
Mr. Wen's words were very reasonable. But, Fang Xing frowned and didn't agree with him.
After a long while, he slowly nodded and said in an unquestionable tone.
"She must've been here if she survived. She must've never left …"
Mr. Wen was stunned, "Why are you so sure?"
Fang Xing's mouth curled into a strange smile, "An uncle can abandon his nephew. But, how can a mother abandon her child?"
