Chapter 1164 Origin of the Curse
“Actually, we’re not very clear about this matter either. Everything seems very strange.”
Ancient Wushuang gave a bitter laugh, then said:
“It all goes back to the last Immortal Path!”
“Actually, the Immortal Path isn’t anything special for great clans like ours! Our clan leader has experienced the Immortal Path several times. He knows that cultivators can’t become immortals through the Immortal Path. The reason he went there was purely to join in the excitement, or perhaps with a slight hope of getting lucky.”
“But we never expected that this participation would bring a catastrophic disaster to our Ancient God Clan!”
“During the last Immortal Path, our clan leader rushed to the deepest part and encountered a very strange being. They got into an argument, which led to a battle. Our clan leader was defeated, but that being didn’t kill him. Instead, it threatened to make the entire Ancient God Clan die slowly in endless regret.”
“After the Immortal Path closed, the curse descended.”
When Ancient Wushuang reached this point, his face showed great grief.
This story sounds ridiculous when told, but it’s true. Their Ancient God Clan doesn’t even know who the other party was.
“You’re saying a strange being from the Immortal Path cursed your Ancient God Clan?”
Chen Beixuan asked solemnly.
“That’s right! I’m certain of it!”
Ancient Wushuang nodded.
Chen Beixuan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
He thought of Ye Xuan!
During the last Immortal Path, Ye Xuan had also encountered a strange being and was completely outmatched. He escaped with serious injuries, even losing the Demon Tower, which was taken by the Demon God Clan.
But according to Ancient Wushuang,
If that strange being was so terrifying, there was no reason it should have let Ye Xuan escape!
Could it be…
Chen Beixuan’s heart trembled as a terrifying thought emerged in his mind.
Did that being intentionally let Ye Xuan escape?
Or perhaps Ye Xuan was lying, and he had reached some agreement with that strange being, which is why it let him go?
The more Chen Beixuan thought about it, the more his scalp tingled.
Either possibility was frightening. Above all their heads, some unknown being was watching them, yet they knew nothing about it. Perhaps only those who reached the level of Ye Xuan or Gu Yuan could vaguely make contact with such entities.
“Senior Beixuan, do you know something?”
Lin Feng immediately asked when he saw Chen Beixuan’s changing expression.
“I don’t know! It’s all just my speculation! However…”
Chen Beixuan paused, his face becoming hesitant again, appearing as if he wanted to speak but was holding back.
After a long while,
He finally let out a long breath and said word by word:
“Perhaps we’ve all been looking at this matter too simply!”
“Since that strange being placed a curse on you, wanting to watch you die slowly, what if it can sense your attempts to break the curse now?”
“If we forcibly break it and attract that strange being, what then? Even Gu Yuan with his semi-immortal body was no match. None of us, including myself, could handle it even if we fought with our lives!”
With these words,
Everyone present was stunned.
This question hadn’t occurred to them.
“To put it more dramatically, when Lin Feng was helping the clan leader suppress the curse just now, that strange being might have already known. Perhaps it’s secretly watching us at this very moment.”
Chen Beixuan’s expression was extremely grave.
“That’s impossible, right? If it knew, it would definitely try to stop us. There’s no reason it would just watch Lin Feng save the clan leader.”
Cang Zhuo objected.
“That’s precisely what’s most terrifying! If the other party knows we’re trying to break its curse yet remains unmoved, what does that mean? It means it’s confident we can’t break it, or even if we do, it won’t matter because the end result will be the same.”
“All of us, in that strange being’s eyes, might just be toys.”
Chen Beixuan spoke these words with difficulty.
Everyone present felt their hearts pounding and their skin crawling after hearing this.
At their level,
They had intuitive perceptions about many things, and now they felt Chen Beixuan’s words made a lot of sense.
At this moment,
Lin Feng’s heart also began to beat violently.
He recalled what Qing Yunzi had said, about an immortal looking down on them from above, treating them all as toys, with each cycle lasting ten thousand years before the immortal would restart the era.
Could it be…
The being that the Ancient God Clan offended on the Immortal Path was that immortal?
“Although what I just said is only speculation, I still suggest that we shouldn’t act rashly for now, and shouldn’t try to break the curse.”
Chen Beixuan suddenly said.
The many Ancient God Clan members looked at Chen Beixuan with extremely complex expressions.
Just moments ago,
They had seen the dawn of hope,
Yet in an instant, that dawn was extinguished!
But could they really be so selfish?
“How could this happen…”
Cang Zhuo seemed to have lost his soul, unable to accept this reality.
“Lin Feng, from our perspective, we naturally hope you can break the curse, because if our Ancient God Clan can’t break it, we’re doomed!”
“But everything depends on your decision! You’ve already done more than enough for us. Even if you leave now, we won’t blame you.”
Ancient Wushuang looked at Lin Feng and said softly.
“I…”
Lin Feng opened his mouth, about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Beixuan.
Chen Beixuan looked at Ancient Wushuang with a serious face and said:
“Let me ask you, how do you know the Five Elements Formation can break the curse?”
“Well…”
Ancient Wushuang showed hesitation, but finally said with a bitter smile:
“Our clan leader found an ancient book on the Immortal Path, which recorded that using the Five Elements Essence to activate the Five Elements Formation could break all curse powers!”
“The Immortal Path, again the Immortal Path! Heh… It seems my guess is correct! Now it appears that even if the Five Elements Formation is activated, it might not necessarily break the curse!”
“That strange being is clearly toying with your Ancient God Clan!”
When Chen Beixuan said these words, his voice unconsciously carried a slight tremor.
He had always been cynical and maintained a good mindset, but this time he couldn’t keep his composure, vaguely sensing some terrifying things.
“Lin Feng! We must go, leave the Ancient God Clan… If we don’t leave now, it might be too late! No one can save the Ancient God Clan.”
Chen Beixuan suddenly grabbed Lin Feng’s wrist and spoke urgently.
At this moment,
Fire Cloud Evil God, Sea God King, Immortal Old Freak, and others were also made to shudder by these words, wanting nothing more than to leave the Ancient God Clan immediately.
The matter that the Ancient God Clan had provoked was too strange, involving unknown territories beyond their understanding.
Lin Feng stood in place, silent for a long time.
Leave?
Should they really leave?
If he leaves, the Ancient God Clan will have no hope
