Book 2: Chapter 6: The grass lowered its head, as if in remembrance.
In front of Jiang Wang, the white-haired old woman was burned to ashes by black fire.
He didn't even have time to ask for any information, let alone understand the truth.
At the same time, with the appearance of the black fire, Jiang Wang clearly felt a strange and evil power "seeping" into the Tongtian Palace.
It was a black, flowing substance. It was a power rooted in curses.
Perhaps the white-haired old woman regarded him as an enemy, and her desperate curse was also directed at him.
Jiang Wang controlled the entwined star spirit snake and was about to use the Dao Yuan to expel it, but the black candle in the Tongtian Palace suddenly moved, and the evil power disappeared without a trace.
It should have been devoured by the Ming Candle.
Jiang Wang had complicated feelings towards the Ming Candle. On one hand, he detested its connection to the Bone Dao, but on the other hand, before the disaster in the Maple Forest City, he had felt the warning from the Ming Candle. It was also because of the Bone Escape Technique transmitted by the Ming Candle that he was able to save Jiang Anan, even though it cost him his lifespan.
Now was not the time to think about this. The death of the white-haired old woman did not mean that things had come to an end.
Jiang Wang took out the cursed paper doll and casually pinched a secret technique. A small green grass sprouted from his palm.This was a medium-grade tracking Dao technique called the Reminiscing Grass. It could trace the traces of existing things based on their aura.
The grass lowered its head, as if in remembrance.
The direction it lowered its head was the direction of the tracking.
But after the Reminiscing Grass was born, it kept spinning in Jiang Wang's palm and refused to lower its head.
Jiang Wang understood that this Dao technique was too low-level, and there was no obvious smell or other remnants on the cursed paper doll, so it couldn't produce any effect.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wang casually made a wooden box and temporarily sealed the cursed paper doll. He leaped away and randomly chose an uninhabited house to enter.
Dividing a part of his spiritual consciousness, he sank into the Illusory Realm.
After another round of challenges in the blessed land, he had now fallen to the twenty-eighth place in the Taoist Realm.
Of course, on this journey, he had once again entered the top hundred in the Circulating Realm matching in the Illusory Realm, thanks to the perfect construction of his Small Circulating Realm. This allowed him to break through in the best condition and not be left too far behind by the first echelon in the Illusory Realm.
The Taoshan blessed land produced 1,350 merits per month. Before entering the top hundred in the Circulating Realm, he had gained more than he had lost, so he had actually earned some merits. Now he had accumulated a total of 4,310 merits.
Jiang Wang summoned his Dao Platform. His Dao Platform still only had one layer.
He had already learned from Zhen Wudi that the upgrade of the Dao Platform relied on "Dao Performance," which meant deducing the cultivation technique.
The more powerful and mysterious the cultivation technique, the more it could promote the advancement of the Dao Platform.
Jiang Wang had deduced the Purple Qi Coming from the East Sword Technique and the Four Spirit Refining Body Technique, but he had probably not accumulated enough to advance.
Placing the Reminiscing Grass on the Dao Platform, Jiang Wang infused all his merits and began to deduce.
He was now traveling alone, and an excellent tracking Dao technique was a must. The Reminiscing Grass obviously could no longer meet his requirements.
When his merits dropped to 3,100, he stopped.
Jiang Wang understood that this was probably the limit of one layer of the Dao Platform, or perhaps the limit of the Reminiscing Grass.
A total of 1,210 merits were consumed, achieving a B-grade Dao technique, Reminiscing.
Jiang Wang exited the Illusory Realm. Because it was an upgraded Dao technique for the Reminiscing Grass, he didn't need to familiarize himself with it like a new Dao technique. After pondering for a while, he had already mastered most of it.
Jiang Wang once again took out the cursed paper doll and used a secret technique.
Only to see a black smoke slowly rising from the cursed paper doll, which was the power of the curse on the paper doll.
The black smoke twisted and, under the effect of the Dao technique, gradually formed a small black smoke grass.
The grass lowered its head, as if in remembrance.
To the south!
Jiang Wang determined the direction and walked quickly.
He turned left, leaped over the wall, and passed through the crowd like a fish.
Just at this moment, he suddenly heard an extremely terrifying roar.
The sound was heavy, huge, and ferocious!
Jiang Wang turned back and saw the giant turtle beast outside the city suddenly going mad, its limbs on the ground, roaring continuously.
It probably did have the bloodline of the Overlord, because, like the mythical giant beast, it had sharp teeth and fierce lips.
Jiang Wang noticed the eyes of the giant turtle beast, which were surrounded by a layer of black smoke and gradually stained blood-red.
That was the power of the curse.
How could it be?
Could a curse of that level affect a giant beast with the bloodline of the Overlord?
Something was wrong...
Jiang Wang's footsteps stopped. No matter which evil cult it was, if the other party could possess the power to shake this giant beast, then he was no match for them.
He had his own things to do. His sister was still waiting for him in Yun City.
He couldn't take risks. He couldn't sacrifice himself because of a disaster that happened in a foreign land.
...
While the giant turtle beast went mad, the upper city on its turtle shell instantly reacted. The entire city suddenly emitted a bright light, and the thick, earthy yellow city walls flowed like the earth.
The power of a thousand jin was added.
Boom!
The giant turtle beast's limbs were pressed to the ground and couldn't move for a while, but it continued to roar.
A figure flew above the city and his voice spread throughout the city, "Don't stop the formation, delay the Holy Beast as much as possible! Others, block the city gates and search all twenty-seven positions in the city. Don't let any suspicious individuals escape!"From atop the upper city, countless cultivators were shaken off like lice from a giant beast, falling into the twenty-seven cities of the lower city.
The strongest cultivator legion of the entire nation, the Stele Army, was stationed in the upper city all year round. They patrolled the entire territory following the footsteps of the national guardian beast.
......
Jiang Wang dispersed his Dao decision, interrupting his contemplation of Dao techniques. The lingering smoke dissipated, and he casually turned the paper man into flying ashes.
Then, he leaned his cloak behind him and calmly walked into the crowd.
These elite cultivators, hundreds of them mobilized at once, could plow through the entire twenty-seven cities in the shortest time.
At this time, wearing a cloak would only make him stand out.
Just then, a furious reprimand suddenly rang out from the upper city, "Yin Guan! You have some nerve!"
Then another young voice followed, "You all dare to deceive the world and steal names! What do I..."
The voice that followed was drowned out, presumably silenced.
But at the same time, the crowd gasped in shock.
Because the giant turtle beast outside the city suddenly stood up!
The city on the turtle's shell remained stable, and the earthy yellow light of the formation did not dim. But after only a moment's delay, the Overlord-blooded beast had already stood up!
The Overlord was known for its immense strength and fondness for bearing weight. This giant turtle beast had inherited these traits.
The nation was built on its back, constantly needing to increase the weight. Otherwise, it would leave and go to carry mountains and ridges on its own.
The formation of the upper city was one of the prepared trump cards, capable of instantly increasing the force by a thousand catties. Yet it was still carried by the frenzied beast.
The earth rumbled again.
The giant turtle beast's massive body slowly turned, seemingly about to face the twenty-seven cities directly.
Once it turned and stepped forward, it was unimaginable what kind of disaster would ensue.
Most of the ordinary people in the entire city would not be able to escape!
This scene instantly reminded Jiang Wang of the day when the Maple Forest City collapsed.
He felt just as powerless.
At this moment, a tall figure fell like a meteorite, landing in front of the giant turtle beast.
He reached out his hand and held up the beast's leg, which was as large as a city tower.
"Ah!"
The man let out a roar like an ancient beast, and his upper body armor shattered in an instant, revealing his muscular upper body.
A man as small as an ant was actually holding up a beast as tall as a mountain in mid-air!
Such formidable strength!
Then the giant turtle beast stomped down!
The entire earth seemed to let out a mournful cry.
