Chapter 265: Mediocre Means Do Not Deserve the Protagonist
“Less than ten percent,” Wang Xiangchi said, his voice tinged with worry.
Jian Wujie, who had regained some sensation in his body, slowly extended his hand, signaling that even a ten percent chance was worth taking.
“Master, didn’t you say Wujie is a person with a destined fate? Shouldn’t a ten percent chance be enough for him to succeed?” Wang Xiangchi transmitted his thoughts.
“Indeed, your precious disciple is a person with a destined fate. Even with just a ten percent chance, under the guidance of the Heavenly Way’s Will, he will succeed,” Xu Fan replied with a calm smile.
Above, the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys continued to refine the spiritual herbs into pure medicinal energy, channeling it into Jian Wujie’s body to replace the essence drained by the curse.
“Wujie’s cultivation is safe,” Wang Xiangchi said with relief, already planning to take Jian Wujie to seek revenge on that Transformation Stage cursed being once he recovered.
“You’re underestimating a person with a destined fate. Even a ten percent chance is as good as a hundred percent for him.”
“As a person with a destined fate, we can’t settle for such mediocre methods. Let’s make this exciting,” Xu Fan said, his eyes gleaming. “With a protagonist’s luck, it’d be a shame not to take some risks.”
Just then, several beams of light streaked across the sky in the distance.
A Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey, a pangolin, and a Void Refinement Stage Puppet appeared.
“Pangolin, clear your mind and submit to my control,” Xu Fan’s voice echoed in the pangolin’s ears.
“Understood.”
The Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey, still tending to Jian Wujie, transformed the remaining spiritual herbs into a dense spiritual mist, which condensed into a glowing green orb pulsating with life essence.
The orb floated above Jian Wujie, and a thin thread of energy extended from it, connecting to his forehead.
Then, the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey ascended into the sky.
“Master, what do you mean by ‘making it exciting’?” Wang Xiangchi asked, puzzled.
“Heh, just absorbing the essence of a single Transformation Stage cursed being is too dull.”
“If we’re going to do this, let’s go all out and drain the essence of their entire cursed clan,” Xu Fan said, his eyes shining with a mischievous glint.
“I know the cursed clan. They’re a minor race in the Demon Spirit Realm. Annoying, but the strongest among them is only at the Core Formation stage.”
“We’ll reverse the curse, link the entire cursed clan with causal power, and let Jian Wujie absorb the essence of their entire clan.”
“The success rate is less than one percent, but if it works, the cursed clan will become Jian Wujie’s personal essence reservoir, ready for him to draw from whenever he needs,” Xu Fan explained.
“Master, isn’t that too risky?” Wang Xiangchi asked, concern evident in his voice.
“Trust me.”
By now, two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys and the Void Refinement Stage Puppet had formed a triangular formation around the spiritual boat where Jian Wujie lay.
The Core Formation pangolin took its place at the center.
“Grapes, did you memorize the Reversed Curse formation I just sent you?”
“I’ll control the pangolin. You handle the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys and the Void Refinement Stage Puppet,” Xu Fan instructed.
“Understood.”
In an instant, the eyes of the two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys and the Void Refinement Stage Puppet turned cold and emotionless, filled only with pure logic.
Xu Fan and Wang Xiangchi retreated several thousand meters from the spiritual boat. A massive, dark red formation materialized in the void, and a layer of crimson clouds began to gather above it, swirling ominously.
At this moment, a stream of spiritual liquid, resembling the Nine Heavens Galaxy, fell from the sky, serving as the energy source for the grand formation.
The dark red grand formation slowly took shape, with an indescribable shadow representing causal power floating above it.
“Master, this formation seems a bit unconventional,” Wang Xiangchi remarked while looking at the blood-red clouds that concealed the grand formation.
“Guess if the method of draining their clan’s primal energy and aura of fortune is conventional or not,” Xu Fan replied with a smile, looking at Wang Xiangchi.
“It should be unconventional,” Wang Xiangchi said uncertainly.
“Take away the ‘should,’ and it is unconventional,” Xu Fan said, rolling his eyes at his foolish disciple.
Compared to conventional methods of cultivation, Xu Fan preferred the unconventional techniques of demonic cultivators; he found them much more intriguing.
At this moment, the dark red grand formation had fully formed, and a spiritual light as thick as a utility pole surged into Jian Wujie’s body, as if it were an unfathomable abyss.
The pangolin’s eyes were now blood red, and the blood-red spiritual light emanating from it appeared exceptionally sinister.
Streams of causal power played out above Jian Wujie, with waves of causal power occasionally flowing through the blood-red light column into Jian Wujie’s body.
Wang Xiangchi felt a chill run down his spine as he gazed at this eerie formation; it evoked a very cruel feeling in him.
Meanwhile, in a region shrouded in poisonous mist on the central continent’s desolate land, a beast race cursed being shimmered with strange light, and chains of runes erupted from its body, attempting to bind it completely.
“I’ve encountered a master of curses,” the cursed being said, sensing the faint counteracting force of the secret technique within itself.
The chains around the cursed being were broken one by one, but new chains emerged, stronger and more resilient than before.
“Master, is Wujie alright?” Wang Xiangchi asked while watching Jian Wujie’s trembling body.
“He’s fine; it just hurts a bit. Hold on a little longer, and he’ll be okay,” Xu Fan replied with his eyes closed, needing to concentrate fully on controlling the pangolin to maintain the grand formation.
At this moment, Jian Wujie felt like he was on the execution ground, suffering extreme pain akin to being sliced by a thousand knives, unable to make a sound.
It felt as though a huge club was smashing his bones, and then, someone healed him, only for that club to strike him again.
If Jian Wujie could hear Xu Fan’s words, he would definitely retort, “Hold on, you NNGT!”
As soon as one of the chains on the cursed being broke, Jian Wujie felt as if a bone had been taken from him. If he were not longing to see his mother one last time, he would have wished to die immediately.
As the chains on the cursed being grew increasingly resilient, they reached the point where it was impossible for it to break free.
“If you want my primal energy, fine, I’ll give it to you! Let’s see if you, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage, can withstand this.”
The cursed being then gave up resisting, allowing the chains to bind its entire body, and began to absorb its primal energy.
The blood-red grand formation above Jian Wujie started to change its configuration slowly, and a surge of primal energy erupted from Jian Wujie’s body, visibly healing his injuries.
His previously pale, bloodless skin began to turn rosy.
“Master, did we succeed?” Wang Xiangchi said joyfully.
“Succeed? We’ve only just begun,” Xu Fan replied.
“Isn’t it a good sign that the primal energy is starting to flow back?” Wang Xiangchi asked, puzzled.
“Anything taken too far is not good. If you overdo it, it’s much worse than just a little pain.”
At this moment, Jian Wujie’s body, still in a fragile state, began to swell, with his skin turning an excessively rosy hue, resembling a ripe shrimp.
“As long as we get through this hurdle, we can begin absorbing the primal energy from the cursed being clan afterward,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Getting past this ten percent now, the next part will only be one percent.”
