Chapter 244: Chapter 167: Curse Coming_2
Translator: 549690339
There was only a foreboding cloud, a cloud that would not dissipate, covering the sky like a dark curtain.
Oppression, unparalleled oppression.
Even as a great cultivator in the late stage of the Golden Core, Zhang Zhiqi felt his heart race and skin crawl in the face of such a sinister and ominous celestial phenomenon, with waves of dread washing over him.
“What’s going on?” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“An enemy invasion!”
“Supreme Elder!”
Zhang Zhiqi rose up in alarm and anger, as the Sect Master of the Green Jade Sect and several elders hurried into the hall in a panic, “The celestial signs are unusual, it seems like enemies are attacking.”
Zhang Zhiqi didn’t speak; instead, he stimulated his divine consciousness, activating the Mountain Gate Array, and connected with the Green Jade Spiritual Vein.
“Roar!!!”
In an instant, a dragon’s roar startled the mountain.
Green Jade Mountain, one of the three great immortal mountains of Liang Country, a third-tier Spirit Land ranked supreme, contained a spirit vein deep within it like a slumbering dragon, connected to the veins of the mountains and rivers.
The Green Jade Sect was founded on this basis, invited a third-tier Array Master from the Tianshu Sect, spent thirty-eight years and countless efforts, and finally established a majestic Golden Core Great Array.
It was known as the Green Jade Azure Dragon Array!
This array drew its power from the spirit vein of Green Jade Mountain, suited both its location and the natural order, and had nurtured the “Azure Dragon Spirit” within the earth vein. Even without a third-tier Formation Master presiding over it, the array could unleash astonishing power. Even Nascent Soul Ancestors, without the means to break the array, would sigh in resignation, not daring to risk entering the array.
Now that the celestial signs had changed and a formidable enemy was attacking, Zhang Zhiqi, who was alarmed and panicked, decisively activated the array.
“Roar!!!”
In the depths of Green Jade Mountain, a roaring, dragon’s cry exploded. Because of the dark clouds casting shadows, the forests that had been shrouded in darkness suddenly lit up with an azure glow, a dragon-like swath of light connecting the mountains and earth veins.
The azure light was dazzling, and the Earth Dragon looked up.
A shadow of a dragon, roaring into existence, the brilliant azure light condensed rapidly, taking form from void to solid, coiling itself around and protecting the Green Jade Sect’s gate.
It was the Azure Dragon Spirit, connected to the Green Jade Spiritual Vein; under the command of the array, it could harness the power of heaven and earth. Even a Nascent Soul Ancestor would avoid it, unwilling to confront its edge directly.
However…
“Boom boom boom!”
The ominous cloud was vast, blocking out the sun.
The thunder roared, frightening gods and ghosts alike.
The force of Taoist Curse Spells seemed both real and unreal, both tangible and intangible, indeterminate in form and substance.
The Azure Dragon Array, though also mysterious, alas, had a different system and lacked targeted defensive measures to restrain Curse Spells, and truly struggled to withstand the descent of the curse.
Finally…
“Boom!!”
A thunderclap startled the mountain gate.
In the Ancestor Master’s Hall, Zhang Zhiqi’s eyes sharpened, his heart skipped a beat as if struck by Five Thunders Boom, instantly petrified where he stood.
In a flash, his consciousness sank into the sea of awareness, his soul panicked and helpless.
Looking up, “Zhang Zhiqi” saw that he was in the midst of mountains, wondering where he was, when suddenly the ground shook and mountains quaked from all directions with a rumbling sound.
“Boom boom boom!”
The three mountains and five peaks moved and approached.
From all around, they closed in on his body.
Zhang Zhiqi then realized the gravity of the situation, wanting to evade, but being “nailed” in place, where could he possibly hide?
No escape to the heavens above, no entrance to the earth below.
Three mountains moved stones, five peaks bore down upon him.
“Boom boom boom!”
In the blink of an eye, three mountains and five peaks surrounded him from all sides.
Zhang Zhiqi, trapped in the middle, only had his head exposed, revealing a face stricken with fear and panic.
“This is…”
“A Curse Spell?”
“Evil Skills!”
“A demon is harming me, cursing my Divine Soul!”
Having come from a major sect, Zhang Zhiqi, a Golden Core Cultivator, quickly realized his predicament and immediately detached a part of his consciousness to regain control of his physical body.
“Supreme Elder?”
“Elders?”
As he returned to reality, he heard calls for him. The Green Jade Sect Master and several elders looked at him with anxious eyes.
But Zhang Zhiqi had no time to care, immediately taking out spirit pills, talismans, and stimulated spiritual artifacts and magical treasures—every method at his disposal was for defending the soul.
As a Golden Core cultivator from a great sect, Zhang Zhiqi had heard of Curse Skills but had only heard of them in passing and didn’t have much understanding, let alone specific countermeasures.
But that didn’t matter; most curse spells were aimed at the soul, and as long as he strengthened his soul’s defenses, he would be able to block the enemy’s attacks and unveil the falsehood, ultimately breaking the curse.
Hence, he directly consumed several bottles of third-tier Spirit Pills, as well as various other soul-calming and mind-stabilizing third-tier talismans, not sparing a thought for their cost, and activated all of them at once, defending himself to the utmost.

Beyond spirit pills and talismans, there were spiritual artifacts and magical treasures.
The Three Sects of Golden Core each had their strengths: Tianshu Sect reigned supreme in Array Formations, Medicine King Valley was the great sect of alchemy, and Green Jade Sect was renowned for Artifact Refining.
As a Supreme Elder of the Green Jade Sect and a third-tier Artifact Refining master, Zhang Zhiqi had a wealth of resources—plenty of supreme-grade spiritual artifacts and even several magical treasures that surpassed spiritual artifacts.
Among these spiritual artifacts and magical treasures, some could protect the soul.
At this critical juncture, Zhang Zhiqi spared no effort, activating all of them and then sitting down cross-legged.
At the same time…
“Boom boom boom!”
The three mountains and five peaks closed in from all sides, pressing down on Zhang Zhiqi with sparks flying and a metallic clang.
It turned out to be a Green Jade Spirit Armor, worn unknowingly, resisting the pressure crushing down on him.
A lower-tier magical treasure that could protect the soul.
Materials that could enhance the soul were extremely rare, and magical treasures even more so. The Green Jade Sect, with a thousand years of accumulated potentiality, possessed only one such piece.
With the Green Jade Spirit Armor protecting his body, spirit light shone forth.
It was the power of the third-tier Spirit Pills and talismans at work.
However…
“Moo!!!”
In the firmament, the winds and clouds transformed; a Green Bull ran rampant, as if dragging the entire sky behind it, with thunder and wind booming as it approached.
“!!!”
Zhang Zhiqi’s complexion changed drastically, overwhelmed with fear, but at this point, he had no other choice but to fully stimulate the Green Jade Spirit Armor, bracing himself against the Green Bull’s charge.
“Boom!!!”
