Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2107 - 2109: Can It Be Severed?

Ji Buseng’s reasoning was simple: if the curse could be forced onto a single hair, throwing away and destroying that strand of hair would solve the problem, wouldn’t it?

Feng Jun could only smile wryly. He considered asking someone else to help explain, but those two were True Immortals, and it seemed Qu Jianlei also didn’t understand. So, he had to do it himself, "A Golden Core is a flawless body... During the Nascent Soul stage, even losing a single hair usually requires replacement."

True Immortal Yi Jue, however, didn’t consider whether Ji Buseng had the right to ask, and she straightforwardly stated, "A Domain Curse is very powerful; I’m afraid a single hair can’t bear it. At least half a finger would be needed."

"Half a finger isn’t much, is it?" Ji Buseng grew more perplexed, "Even a whole finger... a whole hand shouldn’t matter, right? Just cut it off, won’t it be fine? Don’t Nascent Soul True Immortals fight? Just regenerate it later."

Nascent Soul True Immortals don’t actually engage in battle much. It’s like on Earth; two small countries might easily go to war, and even within a single country, different tribes might engage in conflict without much thought, with potentially significant casualties.

But among the major powers, the possibility of direct conflict is much lower. Proxy wars... aren’t they appealing?

If Ivan blows up two planes of the Silent Mourning Country, the consequences... well, just thinking about it sends chills down one’s spine.

So, the likelihood of battles between Nascent Souls is relatively small.

However, this likelihood being relatively small is only in ordinary circumstances. A Nascent Soul’s lifespan is 3,000 years, and too many things can happen in these 3,000 years—not to mention conflicts with each other. Just eliminating Heavenly Demons is also a battle, isn’t it?

The battles of Nascent Souls could be quite ordinary, but they could also be extremely intense. In the most intense cases, losing the physical body and only having the Nascent Soul left is quite common—of course, scenarios where even the Nascent Soul perishes aren’t included.

A Nascent Soul True Immortal missing limbs would definitely seek to regenerate missing parts upon returning home. To Lang Zhen, missing an arm can’t be restored no matter what, but he is only a middle-stage martial master. To a Nascent Soul, it’s really not a big deal.

So, Ji Buseng was puzzled—if you think a single hair can’t bear a Domain Curse, I can understand that. But even losing an arm, for a Nascent Soul True Immortal, how big of a deal is it?

If you can gather the curse together like that—shouldn’t it be easy to annihilate?

His thought wasn’t wrong, but it was somewhat naive. Feng Jun, knowing his background, had no desire to mock him but couldn’t help saying, "Friend Buseng, the Domain Curse is a Causality Curse."

"What can a Causality Curse do, then?" Ji Buseng grew even more curious, "Aren’t all curses based on causality... Without causality, how can there be a curse?"

That statement... is also true. Without causality, there would indeed be no curse. However, Feng Jun felt like kneeling, "But that’s Domain Causality."

Explaining this matter is a bit complicated. It’s like how this causality isn’t something a single hair can bear. Domain Causality isn’t like killing a person and having to bear some causality—it’s truly powerful.

If it were as Ji Buseng imagined, that cutting off Domain Causality would end it, then it’s truly unrealistic. Wu Nan True Immortal had a deep understanding of this; even if he severed Domain Causality to advance, the causality would eventually return to him.

For instance, he might cut off a hand and advance to the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer, but that hand would be gone forever.

If he wanted to regenerate that hand, its cultivation would remain at the Nascent Soul Third Layer. So, a Nascent Soul Fourth Layer body with a Nascent Soul Third Layer hand—doesn’t it need to match?

The matching process inherently delays cultivation, which goes without saying. Then... once everything is finally matched, he realizes that Wu Nan True Immortal can advance to the Nascent Soul Fifth Level?

To advance to the Nascent Soul Fifth Level, he still needs to destroy part of his body, and after the advancement is concluded, he needs to continue matching the regenerated part... It consumes a considerable amount of time. That’s just how powerful the Domain Curse is.

That’s why Wu Nan felt so despairing. He thought that following this matching process, he’d be lucky to reach the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer by the end of his lifespan—fine, even if he couldn’t break through to the Emergence Stage, it wouldn’t be a big deal. The key issue is carrying a curse on oneself; it’s quite humiliating.

Feng Jun explained it this way, but Ji Buseng still had a hard time understanding, "Cut off the finger cursed with causality, then regenerate it, and you still can’t shake it off?"

True Immortal Yi Jue, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "You’d better first understand what an ordinary curse is, what a Domain Curse is, and what a Causality Curse is... Causality doesn’t dissolve or leave. The key is that it also has the entire Domain’s power—how can you not afford it?"

Ultimately, Wu Nan True Immortal can temporarily sever the curse, but the obsession of a Domain, below the Divine Spirit, is indelible.

Ji Buseng finally understood, "True Immortal Yi Jue, are you saying that if I force the curse onto a finger and then cut it off, when I regenerate it, the curse comes back with it?"

True Immortal Yi Jue glanced at him with a helpless expression, but still provided an answer, "This is the terrifying nature of the causality curse. Severing causality... how could it be that simple?"

"That’s really..." Ji Buseng was at a loss for words as well. He pursed his lips and finally sighed deeply, "Ah, the obsession of True Immortal Wu Nan, the domain obsession... it’s these obsessions that bring harm to people."

Not long after, the group arrived at the core region of the Blazing Flame where the Jinwu Sect resided. True Immortal Wan Qing approached a small courtyard, raised a hand to knock on the door, and released her Divine Sense, "Wu Nan, I’m here."

Soon, someone came to open the door, and it was True Immortal Jiu Wei. He spread his hands helplessly and gave a bitter smile, "Wu Nan got drunk and is sleeping now... he doesn’t want to wake up."

It’s truly unprecedented for a Nascent Soul True Immortal to get drunk. Such wine is not brewed from ordinary Heaven and Earth Treasures—it must be potent enough to heavily suppress the soul, making the wine akin to poison.

Wu Nan came from a humble background and is usually frugal. However, such extravagant wine is something he couldn’t bear to buy. Now, he’s just upset over the unsuccessful curse removal, feeling quite depressed, so he’s intentionally getting drunk.

"This is normal," Feng Jun didn’t find it surprising, "Originally, he thought there was no hope. Then I gave him hope, and now the hope has collapsed again. With such emotional highs and lows, occasionally one needs to vent."

"Yes, I didn’t stop him either," True Immortal Jiu Wei nodded, "Releasing such pent-up feelings is better. If it accumulates in the heart, it may create risks... Actually, Mountain Master Feng, your method wasn’t wrong; it’s just a pity that the Qingping Domain is too hard to communicate with."

"It’s not that it’s hard to communicate," True Immortal Wan Qing said with a darkened face, "At the end of the day, it’s because we’re too weak... Weakness is the original sin."

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but roll his eyes—you True Immortals are complaining about being weak?

"Actually, it’s partly my fault," Feng Jun saw the low mood and voluntarily took some responsibility, "I didn’t expect this Domain Consciousness to be so hard to deal with."

"Mountain Master Feng, you’re joking. How can it fall on you?" Someone outside chuckled lightly, and then True Immortal Wu Nan came in.

His clothes were a bit disheveled, but his eyes were bright, and there was no cloud of gloom in his expression. Clearly, he had adjusted his mood. "It’s just domain obsession at work. If this small matter could stop me, why cultivate immortality at all?"

"Quite the spirit," Feng Jun gave a thumbs up, "True Immortal Wu Nan is indeed a person of character, admirable!"

"I don’t need your admiration," Wu Nan replied with a laugh, "After finishing a drink, my mind cleared up. I plan to go into seclusion soon to advance my level. Mountain Master Feng, could you suggest what might be best to cut away?"

Even though his communication with the Qingping Realm wasn’t smooth, he’s finally able to advance. It’s been over two hundred years at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, and he can finally progress.

"Cutting away a finger isn’t bad," Feng Jun casually answered, "The ear would work too, but it’s best to only cut the upper half of the ear." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I understand the importance of earlobes," Wu Nan chuckled, "But the cultivation technique I practice really doesn’t lend itself to pushing the curse to the ear, and it’s too close to the Sea of Consciousness. So, let’s go with the finger."

Seeing him back to normal, Feng Jun silently praised him—a true man indeed, discarding discomfort just like that. "How about I help you with a deduction?"

"That would be welcome," Wu Nan was initially surprised, then he laughed, "I was actually hoping you’d help me with a deduction. The nature of the curse has changed—let’s see if there’s a flexible method to remove it. But I’m also a bit worried you might laugh at my hopeful thinking."

"Isn’t it normal to have hopeful thinking?" Feng Jun replied casually, "If we didn’t have that mindset, why bother cultivating immortality? We might as well live a normal life, muddling through our days."

All of a sudden, True Immortal Yi Jue spoke up, "Hasn’t the Chess Sect sent Zhi Shui and True Immortal Wen Jie there? Haven’t they offered any constructive opinions or suggestions?"

"Do they have the courage?" Wu Nan sneered, really having a bad impression of them. It wasn’t just their blackmail during a temporary visit; the key was that they witnessed his entire communication with the Qingping Realm.

This had already irked him. The key point was that his curse removal plan wasn’t fully effective, and this was also seen by them, thus he disdainfully said, "They watched the whole time, afraid to utter a single word, truly chilling."

"If they had dared to speak, that would’ve been madness," True Immortal Yi Jue remarked fairly, "That’s domain karma we’re talking about. I mean, haven’t they proposed any suggestions afterwards?"

True Immortal Wu Nan candidly stated, "I just left straight away and couldn’t be bothered to speak a word to them... Anyway, of the expert deducers present outside, I know you and Mountain Master Feng, so why listen to them?"

At this moment, True Immortal Yi Jue suddenly raised her head to look at the sky, then chuckled lightly, "Friend Qinghuang, if you want to watch, just watch openly. Sneaking around in your own place—it really doesn’t suit a senior."
