Chapter 400

Tianmen Peak, elder consultation.

Five elders surrounded Meng Jingzhou, clicking their tongues in wonder.

"Junior Nephew Meng's curse is interesting."

"Indeed, I've lived for over two thousand years and this is the first time I've encountered such a strange curse. I didn't even come across it when I was traveling in the Huangzhou region."

"This curse is of no use to Junior Nephew Meng anyway; he has a single-status spiritual root, and this curse will automatically disappear after a while."

"Don't worry, Little Meng; you were harmed by Qiu Jinan, and I will definitely get justice for you!"

"Good disciple, how do you feel now?"

"The Huangzhou region is prevalent in witchcraft and voodoo, the source of curses. Old Four, you're the only one among us who has been to the Huangzhou region and studied curses. What do you..." The four elders, Meng Jingzhou, and Lu Yang all turned their heads to look at the Fourth Elder, who was lightly shaking his feather fan.

Lu Yang recalled the information about the Huangzhou region.

The Huangzhou region is located on the west side of the Central Continent, near the Liangzhou region and the Western Buddhist Kingdom. It is prevalent in witchcraft, voodoo, and corpse-driving techniques. The people have a rough and bold character, and the heritage is ancient. Seeing Man Gu's hometown is also there.

The Fourth Elder showed a troubled expression: "After I was cursed, I did study curse techniques for a while. For example, I can see that Junior Nephew Meng can only possibly untie the karmic backlash after shattering his core and forming an infant, becoming a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Of course, that's only a possibility. If he still can't untie it after becoming a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, then he can only wait until he breaks through to the Spirit Transformation stage. The moment he breaks through to the Spirit Transformation stage, he will definitely be able to untie it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Jingzhou's face turned pale.

If it were the Nascent Soul stage, it would be fine, but if it were the Spirit Transformation stage, how many years would he have to cultivate?

"I can lift some simple curse techniques; they involve a very shallow level. For example, you guys are cursed every day, and I'm the one who lifts them. But Junior Nephew Meng's level is too high, and with my cultivation, it's difficult to lift."

"If I could become a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, I would have the confidence to handle it."

Old Master Ba rolled his eyes: "You becoming a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator? Get in line. Can your cultivation progress be as fast as Big Brother's and Old Nine's?"

The Fourth Elder spread his hands: "Then I have no other way. Wait, we can ask Master for help."

The Seventh Elder didn't think this was a good idea: "Although Master is a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, he doesn't understand curse techniques, and he is suppressing the Prisoner Peak and cannot be distracted."

"Disciple, why don't you cast another set of Single Curse Fists at Old Two? Maybe the two backlashes will cancel each other out and it will be resolved?"

Meng Jingzhou shook his head hurriedly. Are you kidding? Is that called backlash cancellation? That's called backlash stacking!

"Actually, Junior Nephew Meng doesn't need to be too anxious; your curse is not as serious as you think." The Fourth Elder comforted him.

"Could the Fourth Elder please explain in detail?"

"The one who received the karmic backlash is you and Qiu Jinan, the two of you, so the karmic backlash is split into two. You bear half, and Qiu Jinan bears half. Only half of the karmic backlash is easier to solve than a complete karmic backlash."

Meng Jingzhou's eyes lit up: "Then Fourth Elder, do you have a way?"

"That, I don't."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

"I heard that Junior Nephew Li can regrow severed limbs. By changing body parts, he can replace his entire body from head to toe, thereby avoiding karma. Can this method be used on Junior Nephew Meng? For example, Old Seven, you refine a great medicine that can regrow severed limbs and feed it to my disciple?"

What the Third Elder was talking about was Li Haoran's Rebirth Jin Dan.

"A great medicine for limb regrowth is easy to refine; it's nothing more than begging for a few roots from the Little Medicine King. But the problem is, does this method really work?"

The Fourth Elder stepped forward and denied this method: "Junior Nephew Li's Rebirth Jin Dan can indeed avoid karma, but Junior Nephew Meng's karmic backlash level is too high, so it won't work."

Old Master Ba thought of another way: "The Tiance Sect is proficient in karmic techniques. The location of our Congwendao Sect was calculated by the Founder by finding people from the Tiance Sect. It has been blessed for 120,000 years, and they can even calculate such things. Their karmic techniques are unmatched, and karmic backlash should also be within their handling range. Why don't we try finding them?"

The Eighth Elder shook his head: "I remember that the Tiance Sect inherited from the ancient Shi Guan clan and is proficient in karmic techniques, capable of divination and fortune-telling. But the Tiance Sect believes that karma will not disappear, but only transform from one kind of karma to another. Therefore, they rarely interfere in worldly affairs. If they interfere too much in worldly affairs, karma will stick to them, and they will lose their ability to divine and tell fortunes."

"I've heard of this too. I also heard that the Shi Guan clan didn't have a good reputation in the ancient era. They often used their divination ability to seek wealth and kill, disrupting the order of the world, and taking the opportunity to seek breakthroughs."

"Later, the Shi Guan clan angered an unknown great power. That great power severely damaged the Shi Guan clan, and the Shi Guan clan never recovered. Later, the Shi Guan clan wanted revenge, but that great power ascended to the immortal position. The Shi Guan clan was worried about provoking this ancient immortal and ordered the clan to be sealed, ordering all clansmen not to come into contact with worldly affairs. Getting stained with worldly karma would invite great terror."

"The Tiance Sect inherited the Shi Guan clan after the incident and became a hidden sect."

"Letting Tiance help handle it would probably make Junior Nephew Meng change from being unable to see women to being unable to see men."

"Then cast another curse on Junior Nephew Meng, cursing him to have peach blossom tribulations every day. Wouldn't the two curses cancel each other out?"

"That seems like a way. Who knows how to cast a curse? Old Four, do you know how?"

The Fourth Elder rolled his eyes, feeling that his senior and junior brothers thought he was too omnipotent: "No, what I learned is how to break curses, not how to cast them on people. If I knew how to cast a peach blossom tribulation, I would cast one on myself first."

Old Four, you are a dignified Confucian cultivator; why are you messing with peach blossom tribulations?

"To imitate the ancients in sitting in one's lap without being chaotic, to temper the gentleman's character."

"Gentlemen who go to brothels all use this rhetoric."

"They copied me."

"Has anyone learned how to cast a head-lowering spell from the East Sea? The principle is similar to a curse; maybe it can solve the current situation."

"Old Eight, you've been to the East Sea, right? Did you learn it?"

"No, I was being chased by the Sea Clan the whole time; where would I have the time to learn head-lowering spells?"

The elders held a meeting to discuss Meng Jingzhou's curse, while Lu Yang continued to seek help from the ancient immortal in his spiritual space.

Logically, he had an ancient immortal as a golden finger, and it was the strongest one among the ancient immortals. No matter what difficulties he encountered, the ancient immortal should have a way.

"Fairy, do you have any other way?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"As the saying goes, when the body dies, the Dao disappears, and all karma is gone. As long as you die once, the karma will naturally disappear." The Decayed Fairy happily proposed the second plan after careful consideration.

Lu Yang felt that with Meng Jingzhou's IQ, he would probably not agree with this method.

The Decayed Fairy was dissatisfied with Lu Yang's attitude. She often used this method to avoid karma, and it worked every time.

The more Meng Jingzhou listened to the elders' discussion, the more he felt their methods were unreliable. It was better to save himself than to beg others: "Why don't I go to the Huangzhou region? Maybe I can find a way to solve it?"

"That is indeed a feasible method."
