"Later, our Shu family found a Saintly Venerable of the Dao of Curses..."
Shu Yiyao continued her story.
After being cursed, the Shu family did not sit idly by and wait for their doom.
Instead, they traveled throughout the continent in search of a solution.
After paying countless prices, they found a sage of their time.
That being had lived through several eras, was extremely skilled in the art of curses, and had a close relationship with the sage ancestor of the Shu family...
"Could anyone tell what kind of curse your family is under?"
Chen Tianwen frowned and asked.
The art of incantation once flourished in ancient times, but has declined in popularity due to certain special reasons.
It is truly rare for the Shu family to find a sage in this field.
"That sorcerer said that our Shu family is cursed by the heavens!"
Shu Yiyao frowned and slowly uttered a name.
Curse of Heaven?
Chen Tianwen frowned.
This was the first time he had ever heard of such a curse.
"The curse of heaven is a curse from the heavens. Water overflows when it is full, and the moon wanes when it is full. Our Shu family bloodline is too strong, which goes against the way of heaven. So the heavens have sent down a curse to sever our bloodline!"
A hint of resentment flashed in Shu Yiyao's eyes.
"It wasn't just us; many extraordinary beings of that era were cursed, which is why many ancient beings gradually disappeared."
As a family that has been passed down from ancient times.
The Shu family went through this process.
I witnessed firsthand how the Heavenly Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, and Black Tortoise—races that once dominated the entire continent and shone brightly—were shrouded in misfortune.
Whether it's the extinction of a bloodline or the onset of misfortune.
Gradually, it disappeared into the long river of history...
Chen Tianwen frowned.
He discovered a clue in the Qilin Divine Treasury.
The Qilin Kingdom was destroyed because its last Qilin Emperor had no heir and died alone in old age...
The ancient kingdom of Qilin never had any more Qilin after that, and was later annexed by other countries.
The remaining high-ranking officials used unparalleled means to seal off the capital of the Qilin Kingdom into a small world, thus protecting the Qilin heritage.
Of course, he was only a small branch of the Qilin clan, and he had no idea what the final fate of the Qilin clan would be.
If what Shu Yiyao said is true, the decline of the Qilin clan is definitely related to this curse.
So Chen Tianwen continued, "Did that Sage of Curses offer a way to lift the Heavenly Curse?"
"No"
Shu Yiyao shook her head: "The Heavenly Curse is a curse from Heaven, and there is no way in the world to break it... However..."
At this point, she suddenly changed the subject: "That curse saint said that the Heavenly Curse on my Shu family is very weak and cannot be compared with those truly heaven-defying beings, so we can use a special method to avoid it."
"What method?"
Chen Tianwen frowned, a hint of curiosity rising in his eyes.
The terror of the Heavenly Curse is such that even a heaven-defying being like the Qilin cannot resolve it.
And this so-called Sage of Curses was actually able to solve it.
This piqued Chen Tianwen's curiosity.
Shu Yiyao continued, "That Sage of Spells gave us a special stone tablet, which carries a special spell inheritance. After comprehending it, one can obtain a great supernatural power..."
"If we can cultivate this technique and reach the Refinement of Emptiness realm, our true spirit will not perish, and we can resist the Heavenly Curse and live for more than ten thousand years."
Upon hearing this method, Chen Tianwen suddenly understood.
A cultivator at the Refinement stage, whose true spirit is indestructible and who is immune to all spells, might actually have a chance to resist this weakened version of the Heavenly Curse.
"sharp!"
He couldn't help but marvel at how extraordinary this master of incantations was.
"Then why don't you just start cultivating directly?" Chen Tian asked again.
Now that the Sage of Curses has provided a solution, the Shu family can simply follow his instructions and cultivate accordingly.
With the Shu family's extraordinary talent, cultivating a technique would be a piece of cake for them.
“Senior…” A bitter smile suddenly appeared on Shu Yiyao’s face.
"That incantation is incredibly profound. Since we obtained it, we have only comprehended about half of it. As for the later stages of the Integration Realm, our clan has spent tens of thousands of years trying to decipher them, but we still haven't been able to break through them..."
As Shu Yiyao spoke, a look of despair appeared on her face.
It seemed as if the heavens were toying with the Shu family.
Despite possessing extraordinary talent, he is cursed by heaven and prone to misfortune.
They were just one step away from breaking the curse.
But this thin line is like an insurmountable gap.
It's not something they can solve simply by making an effort.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianwen finally understood what Shu Yiyao meant.
He asked calmly, "So, you're planning to have me help you comprehend that cultivation technique?"
Shu Yiyao nodded slightly.
This is the time I spent exploring the secret realm with Chen Tianwen.
She discovered that Chen Tianwen knew at least three sword techniques at the same time, plus a main cultivation technique, all of which were at least at the Earth or even Heaven level.
If these things happened to a powerful being who had reached the fusion stage...
She might not be shocked.
However, Chen Tianwen was only at the Nascent Soul stage.
At the Nascent Soul stage, one can learn so many techniques and master these sword skills to a high level.
It was something Shu Yiyao wouldn't even dare to dream of.
This extraordinary level of understanding gave her hope of truly breaking the curse.
"Alright, then I'll help you this time."
Shu Yiyao's narration piqued Chen Tianwen's interest in the heaven-defying spell.
Moreover, the Shu family, as an ancient family that existed since ancient times, still controls the powerful Chifeng Mercenary Group even in its decline. They are deeply rooted in Yunzhou, which will be of some help to him in finding the Chen family.
"As long as you agree, the entire Shu family will remember your great kindness and virtue."
Shu Yiyao knelt down again and respectfully kowtowed to Chen Tianwen, her voice filled with solemnity.
Chen Tianwen accepted her generous gift without any qualms and asked, "When do we set off?"
"We can meet anytime, as long as you're available."
Compared to breaking the family curse.
Nothing else matters.
"There's no time like the present, let's do it now."
Chen Tianwen said calmly.
He didn't want to waste so much time; he wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible so he could go find his family.
"No problem, I'll go and inform my father right away!"
Shu Yiyao's pretty face flushed with excitement when she saw Chen Tianwen agree so readily.
He hurriedly got up from the ground, said goodbye to Chen Tian, and rushed to the top floor of Chifeng Tower.
...
The dark, sealed room was completely devoid of light.
Shu Yuntian sat quietly in the center of the secret room.
The day of the curse is drawing ever closer.
That invisible terror was like a giant hand, gripping his heart tightly.
Inside Chifeng Tower, countless secret formations were laid out, including the Heavenly Secret Formation for protection.
But it couldn't give him even the slightest sense of security.
The curse of heaven is too strange; the slightest disturbance could cost him his life.
The process of waiting for death is more terrifying than death itself.
That feeling of knowing death is approaching but being helpless is too agonizing.
Sometimes, he even wished that he could just die, perhaps that would be easier.
But he couldn't bear to leave his daughter.
