Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 488 - 461: Humiliation from the Evil Wind
Wang Wu’s idea wasn’t all that complex.
It was just to see if he could take a share in this Zhenyuan Tower.
Because now the various major forces of the Hidden Origin Association, in their construction of the Heaven and Earth Needles here, are removing all sorts of flashy reasons. Their real purpose is to carve up the original shares.
Wang Wu could really relate to that.
Back when he was repairing the base of the Hidden Origin Bell in Dragon Head City, it significantly increased the bell’s compatibility with him.
So what about this Zhenyuan Tower?
Wang Wu felt that this Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact was probably akin to a well-managed, stable, and promising large corporation.
If you got the original shares, you’d basically enjoy prosperity for life, provided the company doesn’t go bankrupt.
It’s also like a board of directors.
A major decision by the company isn’t decided by one person; it requires many to vote.
So the future control of this Zhenyuan Tower actually falls into the hands of these eighteen forces.
Of course, it may not be eighteen forces, perhaps one force might be wealthy enough to take two or more project groups simultaneously.
"This must be approached gradually, without haste."
"And it may not succeed, these old bastards aren’t that easily fooled."
Wang Wu pondered for a moment and felt that the difficulty lay in two areas, one being he must shake off Feng Muhai, this Taiyi Fifth Tier tail.
But not through violence.
Because if he can’t even fool Feng Muhai, he probably can’t fool those lurking around like hungry wolves.
This requires him to upgrade his Passive Concealment to Level 27.
The second was the Celestial and Earthly Compass.
Without it, his Level 19 Spirit Essence Perception wasn’t that magical, and couldn’t show such effects.
But Feng Muhai was extremely cautious, unless it’s for exploration, he wouldn’t give Wang Wu the compass, or even if he did, he’d be watching closely.
This point was simply unsolvable.
"Let’s wait for the opportunity, though we might speed up the construction of the Heaven and Earth Needles appropriately."
After that, Wang Wu really cooperated in all aspects, from exploration to construction, wholeheartedly showing obedience.
Of course, Feng Muhai kept an even closer watch.
Afraid Wang Wu might pull some trick.
However, what he didn’t know was, Wang Wu was indeed pulling tricks.
Even though the latter condition was nearly unsolvable, he had the patience.
Every day he kept the usual way, not asking for too much Spiritual Qi, not too little either, averaging 200 million per year.
I just embezzled it, I just misappropriated it, so what? You don’t even pay the wages and salaries a grandmaster of arrays deserves, what are you thinking?
With the obtained Spiritual Qi, Wang Wu did nothing but refine it all into Level 4 Qi Blood, saving it up.
And thus, six years passed.
Wang Wu helped accelerate the construction of three Heaven and Earth Needles, bringing the total to 49.
Each saved 400 billion on average, which made Feng Muhai very happy, and everyone else as well.
Wang Wu was of course also happy.
Because in six years, by compressing and refining 1.2 billion points of Spiritual Qi, he successfully accumulated 15 million points of Level 4 Refined Qi Blood, the final requirement for upgrading to Level 27 Passive Concealment. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Then, on a quiet day, while Feng Muhai and others were busy building the 50th Heaven and Earth Needle, with only Wang Wu left in the main fortress, he upgraded his Passive Concealment to Level 27 in one go.
In that instant, his Heart of the Earth thundered once more, the blood in his body and even the five First Grade Demon Pills boiled, and as expected, the Blood Sea Star River and the Trial Temple appeared too.
The same words repeated once again.
And then everything dissipated.
Wang Wu opened his eyes calmly, and smiled slightly, finding it surprisingly easy.
The next moment, he drew a strand of Top-Grade Hair, which transformed into his likeness, left inside the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, while his true self silently slipped out, walking straight out of the Three-Defense Main Fortress.
Almost simultaneously, the fully formed Forgetting Divine Techniques activated. At this moment, he was certain that Elder Hui’s Level 27 Divine Calculation couldn’t deduce his actions, because his Level 27 Divine Calculation was also Earth Grade.
The evil wind outside still howled, but things had changed greatly compared to over fifty years ago. With nearly a thousand Heaven and Earth Needles built here by now, these needles were gradually mending gaps and mitigating the rampant Three Calamities.
For instance, the Evil Wind—back over fifty years ago, it often surged to Level Eight or occasionally Level Nine, representing an evolution to the ninth stage of the Evil Wind Bone Plague, unbearable even for a Taiyi True Immortal.
But now, its power had dropped to Level 7.
At this moment, Wang Wu deliberately stayed outside the Three-Defense Fortress for over ten seconds, needing to confirm whether Feng Muhai or any other Criminal Prisoners could detect him, which was crucial as he couldn’t risk his life recklessly.
Luckily, all was well.
Neither Feng Muhai nor anyone else could discover Wang Wu under the cloak of Level 27 Passive Concealment + Forgetting Divine Techniques.
Then, without hesitation, he floated dozens of miles away with the Evil Wind, without wearing the Three-Defense Treasure Armor.
Because wearing it would inhibit his concealment.
After another thirty seconds, Wang Wu was already over a hundred miles away, and at that moment, the Level 7 Evil Wind was finally about to pierce through his Evil Wind Resistance.
Yes, the 5,000 points of Evil Wind Resistance he previously possessed only provided him with 50 seconds of immunity.
At this moment, Wang Wu decisively activated the Level 22 Tyrant Body Divine Techniques.
In this instant, a whole 200,000 points of Level 4 Refined Qi Blood were consumed.
The cost was steep, but the effect was indeed very strong.
Wang Wu was about to be penetrated by the Level 7 Evil Wind resistance, but at this moment, he was forcibly blocked.
One second, two seconds, until ten seconds later, as the effect of the Tyrant Body Divine Techniques faded, the next moment, the Level 7 Evil Wind, like a ferocious demon, invaded Wang Wu’s entire body. In just two or three seconds, all over his body, in his bones, in his bloodline, the pain started, and it even launched a corrosive attack toward his Second Foundation Establishment Array.
How terrifying the evil wind is!
Wang Wu exclaimed in admiration, turned around and ran back; this is not the time to show off strength. To grind Yin Fire, you must first grind Evil Wind.
In the blink of an eye, he silently returned to the Three-Defense Main Fortress, diving back into the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, the whole process took less than a minute, but no one knew he had already contracted the Seventh Stage Evil Wind Bone Plague.
Too fast.
Remember, that kind of Junior Evil Wind needed to continuously blow for three days and nights to contract the Evil Wind Bone Plague.
At this moment, inside Wang Wu, the large mass of Pale Fire he had subdued was already restless; Pale Fire can restrain the Evil Wind.
But Wang Wu held back, quietly watching this terrifying Evil Wind Bone Plague tear through everything, breaking through the Second Foundation Establishment Array in a moment, and simultaneously invading the Acquired First Foundation Establishment Array, and the Acquired Cultivation System.
The terrifying pain surged like a tide, yet he seemed to be detached, watching with relish.
Especially the Acquired System, the battlefield was surprisingly delightful.
Because the Creation Fire Spirit Pill’s resistance to the Evil Wind Bone Plague was quite fierce and effective.
The Level 7 Creation Fire Spiritual Qi roared, and in an instant, burned the invading Evil Wind Bone Plague thoroughly.
It even forced a part of the Evil Wind Bone Plague to hide in the Wind Spirit Pill.
However, the Wind Spirit Pill certainly doesn’t welcome the Evil Wind Bone Plague, and practically the conflict between the two is quite intense. Without the Creation Fire Spirit Pill’s cover, the Evil Wind Bone Plague would swallow the still Fifth Grade Ruyi Wind Spirit Pill whole, leaving no remains.
But what can you do? Who would have thought Level 7 Creation Fire Spiritual Qi would be so fierce, and this small stream of Evil Wind Bone Plague is too weak.
Just a couple of hits and it’s flattened.
So what can it do? It can’t escape, surrendering, it got haphazardly incorporated by the Wind Spirit Pill.
Yet even so, the Level 7 Creation Fire Spiritual Qi wouldn’t let go, stubbornly guarding around the Wind Spirit Pill, continuously providing deterrence, Wang Wu could only watch speechlessly.
Alright then, let’s watch another battlefield.
At this moment, the evil wind already broke through the First Foundation Establishment Array under the Innate Bloodline again, once reaching five First Grade Demon Pills, it must be said, the piercing nature of this Evil Wind Bone Plague is insanely fierce!
Yet, it seems that’s about it.
Facing the mighty Level 4 Refined Qi Blood, even as the Evil Wind Bone Plague charges fiercer, invading like it’s no man’s land.
Ultimately in a few hours, it wilted, like a sullen late breeze, gently blowing, unable to make any waves.
Wang Wu didn’t actively resist from beginning to end, even operating the Qi Blood Tide to counter it, no need.
At most, shouting at the last moment, letting the Level 25 Healing Talent appear and clean up.
Then, after more than ten hours, everything returned to normal, as if nothing ever happened.
At this point, the Four Clowns’ reports synchronized.
"You triggered the Evil Wind Bone Plague."
"But because your current strength is somewhat powerful, the Evil Wind Bone Plague was quickly eliminated."
"You lost three months and nine days of lifespan, but your Basic Attributes weren’t lost."
"You gained 1 point of Evil Wind Resistance, now 5,001/10,000."
"Suggestion, you should stay in the evil wind ravaged environment for at least one hour to possibly gain a significant amount of phase-based Evil Wind Resistance."
——
Just 1 point of Evil Wind Resistance?
Are they sure this isn’t mocking me?
Wang Wu’s face couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
Nothing more to say, catching an opportunity, he unwillingly ventured out again.
This time he learned his lesson, stayed out for half an hour, then returned, the Four Clowns’ suggestions are just suggestions.
Can’t be too aggressive.
This time, he successfully contracted the Evil Wind Bone Plague of the eighth stage evolution.
And because of the increased quantity of evil wind penetration, it finally seemed proper.
At least it won’t be hung up by Level 7 Creation Fire Spiritual Qi for a beating.
And finally can ramp up the Level 25 Healing Talent’s intensity.
But it proves, Wang Wu still underestimated his current foundation.
The Evil Wind Bone Plague of the eighth stage evolution only caused him less than ten hours of hardship, then was suppressed, and then, within thirty hours, restored like before.
The Level 25 Healing Talent was already proudly declaring this victory.
He paid three years of lifespan, ultimately only gaining 10 points of Evil Wind Resistance.
Can’t hold it together, sigh.
