Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2111 - 2113: Watch If You Want

Elder Qinghuang earnestly invited Feng Jun to go to the Jinwu Headquarters, but not to mention Feng Jun, even True Immortal Yi Jue refused to go at all costs.

Seeing this, Elder Qinghuang knew that they were wary of him and said, "You’ve misunderstood, I had no such intention at all. But I understand you won’t believe me now, so forget it. I’ll give you two Substitute Soul Puppets at the Nascent Soul Stage as an apology, which should also cover the cost of Wu Nan’s divination."

Feng Jun wanted to decline, but True Immortal Yi Jue interrupted, stating solemnly, "This is more than just the cost of divination. Mountain Master Feng is highly likely to act to help Wu Nan remove the curse, so there’s also a treatment fee."

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Wu Fan was quite surprised, "Fellow Daoist Feng is planning to deal with the Domain Curse?"

"You weren’t present the day before yesterday," True Immortal Qinghuang explained to his disciple’s disciple. "Mountain Master Feng had a divination done by True Immortal Yi Jue to see if he was Wu Nan’s benefactor. What does that imply? It implies that he indeed intends to act!"

"Oh, I was quite abrupt," True Immortal Wu Fan quickly apologized. He was usually very considerate—if not for the Substitute Soul Puppets. "I truly didn’t expect a Golden Core Master to deal with a Domain Curse... my vision was too limited."

Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, "I’m not that powerful. Just because we mentioned ’benefactor’ doesn’t mean I’ll take action. Maybe I’ll bring him good fortune? Or... Never mind, the ’benefactor’ mentioned in our divination is likely a mortal, emphasizing the opportunity."

True Immortal Qinghuang nodded as he listened, evidently feeling somewhat swayed, but True Immortal Jiu Wei couldn’t help but laugh, "Mountain Master Feng, I also specialize in divination. The ’benefactor’ you’re talking about isn’t exactly about opportunity... at least you know the direction to exorcise the curse."

"Why are we talking about all this?" Feng Jun waved his hand. "Alright, let’s go to the Edge of Blazing Flames; it’s about time to head back."

Since there were now four True Immortals by his side, Feng Jun had to split them into two groups to take them down.

In fact, True Immortal Qinghuang wanted to go down and take a look as well, quite curious about the removal of the curse. However, Feng Jun insisted that Kunhao was indeed a small place that couldn’t accommodate so many big figures, persuading him with much effort.

The three True Immortals from Jinwu descended to the lower realm once again and unleashed their Nascent Soul Pedestrian. Meanwhile, Feng Jun excused himself by saying he needed to sort his thoughts and wasn’t in a hurry to divine for True Immortal Wu Nan—in truth, he wanted to consult the Big Boss about how to handle the situation.

The presence of True Immortal Yi Jue made the Big Boss cautious as well, and after returning, Yi Jue’s interest in Feng Jun grew stronger—not in a romantic way, but more in anticipation of his new measures.

For two consecutive days, Feng Jun couldn’t find the right opportunity to communicate well with the Big Boss.

On the third morning, Taiqing’s Rongxun during core formation encountered a minor issue. Sensing something was off, Feng Jun performed a divination and felt things were heading in a bad direction. However, he didn’t rush to intervene, hoping instead that the other could self-correct.

During the Core Formation process, if a cultivator can self-correct, it greatly benefits them, though such chances aren’t high.

By the afternoon, he performed the divination again, and as expected, self-correction seemed unlikely. So, he notified Master Sumiao in advance to quickly prepare to guide the Qi attraction seedlings.

Master Sumiao was even more decisive than him. In less than ten minutes, she brought four seedlings, immediately having them start cultivation. In her words, "Since correction is needed, starting early doesn’t hurt."

This indeed brought the situation under control. For the others at White Pebble Beach who had seen many such scenarios, it was nothing special, but for the three True Immortals of Jinwu observing, it was quite astonishing.

To them, someone reaching Core Formation from the Dust Formation stage wasn’t a big deal, but witnessing the legendary Qi attraction in Core Formation firsthand, True Immortal Wan Qing couldn’t help but mutter, "The technique is really extraordinary, but using it on such a person is a bit of a waste."

He wasn’t being callous; he was just accustomed to seeing people fail at forming Dust Cores and felt that Feng Jun’s divination abilities were wasted on such individuals.

Meanwhile, True Immortal Jiu Wei went outside the Taiqing Sub-Court and began to divine, very interested in studying the mechanism involved.

True Immortal Yi Jue, witnessing this scene from the Nascent Soul Pedestrian, shook her head with mixed feelings. She wasn’t mocking Jiu Wei, but rather reminded herself of how recently she was just like this naive person, causing her to feel nostalgic.

Rongxun’s Core Formation received the necessary corrections, and the aura began to stabilize.

That night, a thunderstorm hit White Pebble Beach, complete with gusting winds and heavy rain—a weather in which randomly unleashing divine sense wasn’t advisable.

Feng Jun finally seized the opportunity to have a conversation with the Big Boss, recounting Wu Nan’s plight.

The Big Boss was also at a loss, "The consciousness of the Qingping Realm is really twisted, isn’t it? It’s always better to avoid extra trouble, yet... It shouldn’t; it must be quite familiar with Wu Nan’s antagonist."

Feng Jun was aware of the reason as well; Wu Nan’s antagonist was one of the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families, and Qingping Realm was their ancestral land.

"Exactly," the Big Boss realized, "Ancestral land family; the Domain is likely to extend some care, as this also involves domain fortune. Otherwise, as the saying goes, reincarnation is indeed an art—being born well can save a lot of effort."

If it were seven or eight years ago, Feng Jun would have definitely agreed with this statement, as he was living a truly miserable life back then.

However, now he didn’t care, "Reincarnation is just one aspect, hard work is also very important. Otherwise, it could backfire, just like how the Murong Family brought disaster upon Wu Nan, resulting in significant losses."

"Tsk," the Big Boss expressed dismissively, "How many people like Wu Nan do you think exist? Your birth may not determine your lower bound, but it can pretty much decide your upper limit. Back in the day... well, why even talk about it."

Feng Jun wasn’t interested in discussing this either, so he talked with the Big Boss about his plan and its implementation, wanting to know what specific details he should pay attention to.

The Big Boss contemplated for about two minutes before responding, "This plan is indeed good, I endorse it. Moreover, I think there’s no need to switch places; it’s fine to operate here as the karma within parallel domains doesn’t affect each other."

"What about karma backlash?" Feng Jun was most concerned about this. He really wanted to help Wu Nan, not to mention he had already received a lot of thank-you gifts, but he definitely didn’t want to put himself in danger. After all, so many people were relying on him, and he couldn’t afford anything to happen to him.

"There’s no backlash," the Big Boss arrogantly assured, "With me around, not only can it not lock onto you, but even if it could, you have nothing to fear. A mere small domain’s domain consciousness can’t overturn the skies, can it?"

Hearing this greatly reassured Feng Jun. The Big Boss usually had a grandiose tone that felt somewhat surreal, and at times it was indeed unreliable. However, having its guarantee in uncertain matters like this really did calm his heart.

The thunderstorm lasted for about two hours; the rain stopped, and the clouds cleared. Feng Jun had essentially found the answers he was seeking.

Early the next morning, he sent Qu Jianlei to invite the three True Immortals.

Later that morning, Feng Jun performed a detailed deduction for Wu Nan and used a Substitute Soul Puppet once more.

His final conclusion was: it could be worth trying the expulsion, but the process should not be observed by others.

Yi Jue True Immortal immediately objected, "Mountain Master Feng, I haven’t been unfair to you, have I? If I didn’t know about this, it’d be one thing, but now that you know I am aware, how can you have the heart not to let me observe even a bit?"

Hearing this, Feng Jun rolled his eyes in exasperation, thinking to himself how naive Yi Jue could be at this age. Given their relationship, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to observe. A simple private mention to him would suffice, but to bring it up publicly like this, how was he supposed to respond?

Then again, realizing that’s just Yi Jue’s personality, he didn’t bother to argue, "Alright, you can observe, but you are only allowed to watch, not ask questions, no deductions, and you must swear not to spread what you see!"

"No problem," Yi Jue readily agreed. Being able to witness the method of expelling a Domain Curse was already an honor.

As for not asking questions and not deducing, that was easy. The main point was that once she remembered the specific steps, it wouldn’t be too hard to slowly deduce them later. If she kept her expectations modest, there might be a surprising joy at the end.

Feng Jun gave her a long, deep look, "I hope you’ll do as you say. To be clear, it’s not because I doubt your conduct, but I worry about you getting entangled in domain karma, which you might regret too late."

Yi Jue True Immortal’s face fell slightly upon hearing the first sentence, but immediately afterward, her expression relaxed significantly. By the end, there was even a hint of laughter on her aloof face, "Okay, no need for your repeated warnings; I’m not a child."

"I trust in Yi Jue True Immortal’s wisdom," Feng Jun smiled and nodded, though he coldly huffed in his heart—You’re not a child? Moments ago, your face was so cold it could frost over.

"I also want to observe," Jiu Wei True Immortal couldn’t hold back, "Mountain Master Feng, I can agree to all those conditions, even more if you add some. It would be such a pity not to witness such a grand event."

Feng Jun helplessly looked at him, "Well... Aren’t you worried about domain karma?"

"Of course I’m worried, but it’s worth it," Jiu Wei True Immortal replied confidently, then smiled again, "Besides, with you around, Mountain Master Feng, and Yi Jue True Immortal’s guidance, there shouldn’t be any danger, right?"

Feng Jun rolled his eyes, looking helplessly at Wan Qing True Immortal, "Alright, now it’s just you left, would you like to observe?"

"Of course," Wan Qing True Immortal replied with a beaming smile, showing her teeth; her smile was as bright as sunshine, "I was just wondering how to ask... When can we start?"

"In a couple of days," Feng Jun pointed to the distant Taiqing Sub-Court, "That person is about to form their core. What if something goes wrong? Ultimately doing this at White Pebble Beach and being personally present, it would be a huge embarrassment if anything went awry."

Wan Qing True Immortal pouted, clearly unimpressed, but said nothing.

Wu Nan True Immortal nodded, solemnly saying, "We’ve waited for over a hundred years; a few more days won’t hurt."
