Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1541 - 2: Grand Scholar Zhuo En, Acquiring Will Divine Power, Zhao Xing’s Intimidation!

"An illusion curse?" Upon hearing this, Jing Yan's face changed. "My friends have all stayed here and never went out, so why am I under an illusion curse?"

The Cangyu Envoy looked troubled. Although he was merely an Artifact Spirit who was skilled at handling information and not one of those powerful 'War Spirits,' no matter what, the fact that Zhao Xing was under an illusion curse while staying in his Yuanhai Palace reflected poorly on the palace's reputation.

Du Yun's expression also darkened. He had just gone out to meet someone, and something happened to Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing was under his protection, and at this moment, he felt shamed.

"Can it be broken?" Du Yun asked.

"Difficult." The great scholar pointed at his head, "The art of spellcasting is inherently hard to practice, and for outsiders to break it is even more challenging, especially since it is the work of a Spirit Spellcaster."

"How could this be? Is there no way to heal his ailment?" Jing Yan became anxious.

"I'm not sick," Zhao Xing said with a frown, "I just..."

Du Yun waved his hand and instantly sealed Zhao Xing's entire body, turning him into a wooden figure.

"He wasn't wrong." The great scholar took a glance at Zhao Xing. "The influence on spiritual will doesn't manifest as visible harm."

"When spiritual will is affected, it can lead to personality changes and desire inflation. This doesn't constitute an illness, at least not in the conventional sense."

"Some emperors are wise and powerful in their youth, but become muddled and cruel in their later years, often making moves that are incomprehensible to outsiders."

"It's not a form of harm, just an influence. That's why it can bypass the defense systems of the Star Sky Fortress."

"The accomplishments of this Spirit Illusionist are very high. I imagine he wants to capture Zhao Xing alive; otherwise, he would already be dead."

"Different professions have their specialties. Just like you, Du Yun, in the Great Divine Power Realm, are undefeated by peers and can even kill those in the Tao Domain Realm. The methods of this Spirit Illusionist are similarly almost invincible within the same tier."

Du Yun, Cang Yu, and Jing Yan found the complexity overwhelming, struggling to grasp the existence of the Spirit Spellcaster.

Du Yun seized the key point: "Difficult doesn't mean impossible. Master Zhuo, do you have a way to solve this problem?"

Zhuo En nodded, "Yes, the simplest method is isolation under supervision."

"Illusion curses are time-sensitive; the influence is temporary. Similar to how a person struck by a traumatic event can recover over time if isolated from the source."

Du Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, try another way."

Zhao Xing had just completed a transaction with him and then fell under this curse. If Zhao Xing isn't cured, Du Yun can't face the universe.

Zhuo En nodded, "Then leave him to me. I can restore him, but I will need your cooperation."

"How can I cooperate?" Du Yun asked. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Zhuo En pointed at the starry sky, "The illusion curse requires a medium, and distance control is also critical. Based on the defensive system of Tiger Head Star Land, the Tao Domain Realm spellcaster should be hiding within 0.5 stellar sectors."

"Whether you kill him or drive him away would help me."

"After that, I will use half a million years of cultivation to transfer the curse affecting his Taoist Body to you, allowing you to bear it."

"The illusion curse greatly affects him but is ineffective on you."

"However, this strategy requires you to drive him away or kill him first."

Du Yun, filled with murderous intent, agreed, "Alright, let's do it!"

The Artifact Spirit Cang Yu immediately stated, "I will fully cooperate with the Pavilion Master and keep it confidential."

Du Yun nodded slightly and then disappeared with Cang Yu.

"I'll leave too." Jing Yan expressed his understanding.

"No, you stay," Zhuo En replied, "Serve as my assistant; I may need you to attack him."

"Understood." Jing Yan decided to stay.

This was just a quiet room, and Zhuo En didn't idle. With a wave of his hand, a human-height clock appeared before Zhao Xing.

It displayed Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai—12 time segments.

The large clock face also had spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the Five Elements scales.

Chaotic energy flowed on the disc, finally condensing into a pointer.

The aura emitted by the pointer gradually synchronized with Zhao Xing's aura.

To Jing Yan's surprise, he sensed two Zhao Xings in his perception.

Without using his eyes, the clock resembled another living Zhao Xing.

Zhuo En glanced at the speechless Jing Yan and smiled, "You're quite good, which part of the Red Star Empire are you from?"

"The Beiye Star System, sir," Jing Yan answered respectfully.

"I've been to the capital of your homeland," Zhuo En reminisced, "It's a very nice place."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Feel free to ask if you have any questions." Zhuo En took a seat after pulling up a chair.

"Sir, what's this for?" Jing Yan pointed at the clock.

"Inner Heaven and Earth Clock," Zhuo En explained, "He is under the illusion curse's influence, and his Taoist Body also has some issues."

"With his spiritual will affected, he is always in a state of excitement and tension; his Taoist Body, acupoints, spiritual power, and Origin Qi remain in a boiling, combat-ready state."

"A short duration is fine, but over time, it will affect his cultivation."

Jing Yan silently cursed a long string.

Zhuo En chuckled, as Jing Yan's curses were quite foul.

.....

Outside Tiger Head Star Land, in the cosmic starry sky, on an asteroid.

Wei Jiu observed the mass of Star Patrol Generals and Mechanical Puppets appearing ahead.

"I've been discovered."

The large movements on Tiger Head Star Land naturally couldn't be concealed from Wei Jiu, and he sensed Du Yun joining forces with several Tao Domain Realm figures to clear the grounds.

It was obvious they meant to force his departure.

"I thought I was so hidden, yet I've been discovered." Wei Jiu wasn't disappointed; the universe is full of unexpected occurrences.

He took on this task thinking it was simple, with little danger.
