Chapter 35: Chapter 34: Seize the Throat of Fate

"Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore." Wen Zhixing took a deep breath and decided not to dwell on it. What was most important for him now was to strive to enhance his own strength. Strength is the ultimate truth.

"Here’s to a new day. Let’s put the curse aside for now," Wen Zhixing sighed, somewhat regretfully. He had temporarily given up on cursing Qiu Yinger. After cursing her three consecutive times, it seemed he had almost pushed her to desperation. If he continued to curse her, it was quite possible that Qiu Yinger might act recklessly and attempt essence absorption forcefully. This was mainly because, with his current strength, Wen Zhixing was not yet capable of cursing her to death directly. Only when he broke through to the Qi Movement Realm might he stand a chance.

"You’re lucky," Wen Zhixing smiled. The plan for revenge was to be set aside for now. However, occasionally giving her a hard time shouldn’t be a problem, and it would actually be quite satisfying. Just so long as I don’t push Qiu Yinger into a corner.

"Let’s pick someone else," Wen Zhixing mused. He could curse someone once a day, and this opportunity shouldn’t be wasted. After all, his body recovered quickly. First, he would curse someone, then he would start his day’s cultivation. Healing while cultivating the Eternal Youth Formula, his days suddenly felt much more fulfilling.

Wen Zhixing pondered for a short while and quickly chose his next "lucky" target. "It will be you, Yun Xinyue! Unfounded Curse!" You dare ask me to massage your feet? That comes at a different price!

PUH!

Yun Xinyue, who was in the midst of closed-door cultivation, suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Her eyes snapped open. Blood slowly trickled down from the corner of her mouth.

"Eh?" Feeling the warmth on her lips, Yun Xinyue instinctively wiped her mouth; the sight of the fresh red left her stunned. What happened? A flicker of confusion passed through her eyes. Why am I... vomiting blood?

While in closed-door cultivation, she hadn’t quite processed what was happening yet. Before she could fully regain her senses, the next moment, she detected a strange force within her body. This eerie power seemed to appear out of nowhere, imperceptible.

"What’s going on!" Yun Xinyue awoke completely, her face stricken with horror. The breath within her body became chaotic, Spiritual Qi flowed in reverse, and her vitality surged wildly. Blood gushed uncontrollably from her mouth.

Illusions? Am I experiencing Qi Deviation? Yun Xinyue was now in a panic. She had just broken through to the Visualization Realm, so how could she be experiencing Qi Deviation?

Just as she was filled with puzzlement, everything within her began to calm down. The strange power quickly vanished without a trace.

"Hm?" Yun Xinyue furrowed her brow. She hadn’t even had time to react before everything was over.

It doesn’t seem like Qi Deviation, but more like... the Power of the Curse... At this point, Yun Xinyue finally realized what was happening. She had cultivated some cursing secret skills herself, though only superficially and not with any deep expertise. After all, such secret skills typically demanded a heavy toll. Unless absolutely necessary, most people would not resort to using them; the loss outweighed the gain.

Strange. Who would curse me? This kind of silent Power of the Curse isn’t something an ordinary cultivator can unleash, she wondered. A flurry of thoughts raced through Yun Xinyue’s mind. She swiftly reviewed every wrongful act she had committed in recent years. However, after pondering, she found she had not offended anyone significant.

Is it the Righteous Sun Sect? No. Yun Xinyue frowned. It was unlikely anyone from the Righteous Sun Sect practiced such cursing secret skills. The cultivation skill of the Righteous Sun Sect was extremely yang and forceful, the polar opposite of such secret skills. Moreover, if it had indeed been someone from the Righteous Sun Sect, she would probably be dead by now.

It only lasted for a moment. Was it a warning? Yun Xinyue was once again puzzled. She didn’t understand and couldn’t figure it out.

Soon, she listed all the suspicious candidates within the Wonderous Palace and even added those from other Demonic Cults. It never crossed Yun Xinyue’s mind that the one cursing her would be Wen Zhixing.

Never mind. I’ll stabilize my cultivation first and deal with this later... After much fruitless speculation, Yun Xinyue chose to enter closed-door cultivation again. She had just made a breakthrough. Stabilizing her realm was the most important thing. Everything else could wait until she emerged.

「Elsewhere.」

[You cursed Yun Xinyue with the Unfounded Curse. She has entered the Visualization Realm. The realm difference is too vast; she suffered minor injuries, and you suffered serious injuries.]

Miscalculated... Yun Xinyue actually broke through... Wen Zhixing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his brows furrowing slightly. His life essence was draining away madly. He knew Yun Xinyue was going into closed-door cultivation, but he hadn’t expected that she had already made a breakthrough, stepping into the Fourth Realm, the Visualization Realm. The gap between them was a bit too large. Although Qiu Yinger was also in the Third Realm, she was still within the Qi Transformation Third Realms, so the backlash wasn’t as outrageous. He had intended to ambush her, but he had almost critically failed.

It seems I’m getting used to this feeling of being seriously injured, though it does hurt a bit. Wen Zhixing struggled to his feet and smiled. Just serious injuries, no big deal. A little rest, and he’d be fine. _{fre ewe bnove l.com}

However, I still need to be more cautious when using the Unfounded Curse, Wen Zhixing thought. He then dragged his seriously injured body and started cultivating again. At the same time, he began recalling everything that had happened recently, reflecting on himself. He thought of the Righteous Sun Sect, and then of the Wonderous Palace. He thought of Feng Ruoli’s goodwill, and also of Qiu Yinger’s ruthlessness.

I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so hesitant, he realized, his mind exceptionally clear, perhaps due to the stimulation from the pain. Looking back on his recent experiences, Wen Zhixing realized he was still too afraid of death. In fact, he wasn’t going to die at all. The people from the Wonderous Palace only wanted to control him; they wouldn’t dare let him die.

What I need to do is use their strength against them, Wen Zhixing’s mind became clearer and clearer. Since Feng Ruoli wants to recruit me, that’s not unacceptable... The relationship between Feng Ruoli and Si Nanyan was obviously strained; otherwise, there’d be no need to compete for people. As for that Mu Yunqing, whether to cooperate with him is entirely up to me...

Wen Zhixing’s thoughts continued to flow. Unconsciously, his spine straightened considerably, and his injuries had also improved a lot.

HUFF... Wen Zhixing exhaled a long breath of turbid air. Feeling refreshed, he reached out his hand, lifting it slightly, as if ready to seize the throat of fate!

「For three days in a row,」

Wen Zhixing cultivated inside his house. The Eternal Youth Formula wasn’t too difficult to practice. In just a few days, he felt he was on the verge of breaking through. The progress was satisfying. All of this was related to his body and perceptiveness. After so many nirvana experiences, his bodily talents were no less than those of some geniuses, perhaps even surpassing them. With his ’Extraordinarily Intelligent’ perceptiveness blessing him, his cultivation speed was naturally fast.

At most five days, and I should be able to break through to the second layer. Then another ten years of life-span will be mine, Wen Zhixing mused with satisfaction. However, he got up, preparing to go outside. After so many days of cultivation, it was time to take a walk. With no one visiting him these days, he had indirectly lost many Fortune Fragments.

"Ah? Wait a minute," Wen Zhixing suddenly had an idea. Now that I have the Life Defying Blood Body, can I let the blood body sneak out and collect Fortune Fragments for me?
