Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe.
Dao Qiongcang stood before the Saint Hall, his robe gently swaying in the light breeze of the snowy night.
As he gazed into the distance, the night sky seemed to trace the path of a wandering star, ephemeral as a firefly, vanishing in the blink of an eye at the edge of sight.
“It’s cold…”
For the first time, Dao Qiongcang felt the chill of a snowy day.
He reached into his sleeve, covering his forearms, feeling the chill in his palms.
This was not a good sign.
Just moments ago, he had received a bow from Five Decays of Heaven and Man. He searched, purified and self-inspected…
Yet he found no trace of the curse left on him.
Even after bathing and changing clothes promptly, as if washing away bad luck, he still felt a sense of unease.
It was like the most common curse in the mundane world, “May you bear children without an anus.” Once uttered, who knew if it might come true?
In the realm of Spiritual Cultivation, curses could manifest invisibly, leaving imprints either in spirit or in the soul, always traceable.
But Dao Qiongcang found nothing!
Perhaps his own cultivation level was too low, or perhaps the curse of Five Decays of Heaven and Man was of a higher order?
His one bow, like that shooting star across the night sky, came and went without a trace.
“Perhaps… it’s fake?”
Dao Qiongcang took out his Divine Sinan.
He considered another possibility: perhaps Five Decays of Heaven and Man simply couldn’t lock onto him.
He might have been blowing hot air, appearing to curse extensively but leaving nothing behind.
Setting up an altar, burning three incenses, then removing everything afterward…
It was all for show, making enemies believe they had been cursed.
Unable to find anything, unable to solve the problem at its root, he felt increasingly anxious—this curse was more sophisticated!
Especially since Five Decays of Heaven and Man knew he was targeting the unpredictable Dao Qiongcang…
Dao Qiongcang was confident in his own abilities.
He thought, that perhaps Five Decays of Heaven and Man, in order to prevent his curse from being discovered by Divine Secret, made it seem like a curse had been cast when it hadn’t. This tactic was very likely.
By “attacking the heart,” making one feel cursed, obstructing subsequent actions, attributing all obstacles to this curse.
In time, even if one hadn’t been cursed, they would feel cursed, resenting heaven and blaming others, and everything would go awry.
However, the more one feared, the more adversity they encountered, worsening their situation.
Thus, one could be trapped in a vicious cycle.
“A curse without a curse is more ingenious than a curse with a curse!”
Dao Qiongcang believed that if he mastered the art of curses, he would use this technique of non-cursing even more, especially against clever opponents.
But now, unable to find the curse’s imprint, he had no idea what Five Decays of Heaven and Man was planning.
How would that one bow affect him? Would he truly fall into misfortune…
“Phew.”
The scent of osmanthus interrupted Dao Qiongcang’s thoughts.
The night breeze condensed into the figure of the Nine Sacrifices Spiritual Body.
“Just now, crimson approached the mountain, the great array defenseless, I wanted to stop it, why didn’t you let me?” The Ninth Divine Priest approached the Saint Hall with a puzzled expression.
“That was aimed at me, and if you took it, then it would be my fault.”
“What was that?”
“The curse of Five Decays of Heaven and Man.”
Upon hearing those words, the Ninth Divine Priest’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. After a while, she said, “Impressive?”
Dao Qiongcang did not answer, lowering his eyes and grabbing his Divine Sinan.
The Ninth Divine Priest’s gaze followed, observing as Dao Qiongcang cast his divinations. The usual colors of gold and white that symbolized good fortune and regularity were absent.
In its place, there shone only a crimson glow!
Dao Qiongcang calculated nine times, each time the Divine Sinan flashed crimson.
The Ninth Divine Priest was shaken. Even though she didn’t understand Divine Secrets, she could read colors.
It was the first time she saw Dao Qiongcang deduce such an ominous omen!
“What are you calculating?”
“Myself.”
At these words, the Ninth Divine Priest’s expression turned reproachful.
“Why didn’t you activate the great array? Why didn’t you let Saint Mountain defend itself? The mountain possesses great vital energy…”
“Has there been any news of Godhood Sword Xuan Cang?”
The Ninth Divine Priest was taken aback, unable to speak.
Dao Qiongcang chuckled. “I’m starting to hear bad news. This is the first one, and I believe it won’t be the last.”
The Ninth Divine Priest was speechless.
She could tell Dao Qiongcang was implying that the Cang Godhood Sword, which guarded the mountain’s vital energy, was still missing.
If the curse tainted the vital energy of Saint Mountain, the blame would fall squarely on him.
Yet, how incredibly vast was the vital energy of Saint Mountain?
Even without the Cang Godhood Sword, other divine objects could guard it.
The audacity of Five Decays of Heaven and Man to curse Saint Mountain’s vital energy would undoubtedly provoke a massive backlash
Death on the spot was even possible!
However, matters had come to this point, saying more was futile.
“You have a solution, right?” The Ninth Divine Priest looked at Dao Qiongcang with expectant eyes. Dao Qiongcang was exceptionally knowledgeable, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Dao Qiongcang glanced at the deep crimson on his Divine Sinan, then looked back at the Ninth Divine Priest, shaking his head with a wry smile.
The Ninth Divine Priest grew anxious.
“You must have a way!”
“Since I’ve received a bow, then I shall accept it calmly rather than panicking like a sparrow.”
“How is that a solution? Think of something using your… Divine Secret!”
“Divine Secret can foresee trouble but never resolve them. It’s a process, not a result.”
“What do we do then?”
“Since it’s received, then accept it.”
The Ninth Divine Priest was furious.
This was the child she had watched grow up.
She worried for Dao Qiongcang, but he seemed not to care about his own safety.
What was to be done?
