Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2089 - 2091: Domain Curse

Wu Nan descended upon Qingping for the second time, unleashing a storm of bloodshed, killing countless people.

Previously, he had enemies in the Qingping Realm, but after gaining strength, he chose not to dwell on past grudges.

Later, he discovered that the demise of a small faction was directly related to him—others knew this faction controlled the pathway to Tianqin and sought to seize it.

And the person who leaked this information was an enemy Wu Nan made when he was weak years ago.

Thus, Wu Nan meticulously recalled everything, eliminating all those who had wronged him.

This method actually stirred a faint rejection from the Qingping Domain—you, a Tianqin Condensed Infant, come to Qingping, killing ants with gusto, can’t you have more ambition?

Not to mention, you were born in the Qingping Realm.

This repulsive force wasn’t much different from being absent, until he killed a Nascent Soul who had ambushed him before. The Qingping Realm finally expelled him.

How could this be? Wu Nan absolutely couldn’t agree, for the real mastermind behind it all hadn’t yet paid for their actions. So he waited two years for the repelling force to dissipate and secretly entered Qingping again.

This time, he still didn’t kill the mastermind but eliminated another Nascent Soul who had ambushed him—after all, with them right before him, not killing wasn’t an option.

Then, the Qingping Realm expelled him from the domain again—this time more forcefully, directly imposing a ten-year exile, forbidding entry into Qingping.

Meanwhile, the mastermind finally learned who had been repeatedly striking, and thus reached out to the Jinwu Sect, implying that after killing two Nascent Soul Patrons and over ten Golden Core Masters, it was time to end the feud.

Wu Nan’s attitude was clear, settling the matter was negotiable, revive all the faction members and wipe the slate clean.

Obviously, negotiations were impossible.

In fact, the forces capable of causing chaos in Qingping aren’t insignificant; one belongs to the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families, plentiful in resources, easily mobilizing seven or eight Nascent Souls.

However, they didn’t forcibly hunt Wu Nan Immortal, merely withdrew their forces from the Qingping Realm once aware that the realm had repelled Wu Nan Immortal twice; if he dared descend upon Qingping again, the consequences would be severe.

Wu Nan Immortal descended upon Qingping for the third time, eliminating another Nascent Soul and slaughtering over a hundred clan members before being expelled.

This time, his revenge was nearly complete, realizing he certainly wasn’t welcomed in the Qingping Realm, he chose to lay down his grudges and pursue his affairs. Twenty years later, a disciple brought news that someone claimed he could never enter Qingping again in this life.

Wu Nan felt indifferent about not entering Qingping; after all, he had few acquaintances left there, and three hundred years later, when all the Golden Core masters he knew were dead, he wouldn’t recognize anyone.

But ultimately, it had been his home, so he sought someone to divine how many years this Qingping rejection would last.

The divination by a True Immortal revealed the rejection wouldn’t last long, only fifty years, but... it seemed Qingping Realm had imposed some constraint on him.

Initially, Wu Nan Immortal didn’t suspect a Domain Curse, viewing it from a Tianqin cultivator’s perspective; True Immortals descending for vengeance was common, repeatedly descending to kill wasn’t unusual, only prolonged rejection periods were typical consequences.

Thus, this "constraint" puzzled Wu Nan Immortal, prompting further inquiry, ultimately discovering from a master that it was a Domain Curse—a high probability of being unable to advance in cultivation.

This master was also a member of the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families, though the family had declined, possessing an extensive tradition in divination, yet faced misfortunes beyond war consequences, only letting out helpless sighs.

Domain Curses come in many forms, lifelong prohibitions on advancement being relatively mild, but even such left Wu Nan Immortal bewildered for a while before realizing—am I really that evil?

But thinking further, he understood that the clan belonging to the force he had annihilated wasn’t only among the Three Hundred Secret Realm Families but was also prestigious from the Qingping Realm itself, a domain’s pride.

Actually, Wu Nan Immortal harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking what about a Domain Curse? Qingping is merely the lower realm to Tianqin; I persist in Tianqin cultivation, perhaps someday I’ll break free.

Transitioning from Condensed Infant to Nascent Soul Third Layer took only fifty years for him, aside from this, avenging, completing sect tasks, aiding in forging True Treasure weapons, taking about forty years, totaling ninety years, perfectly consolidating his foundation.

Another fifty years passed, he felt ready to attempt breaking into the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer, hence sought out Jiu Wei True Immortal to help divine if a Domain Curse truly existed.

At that time, with the abilities of Jiu Wei the True Immortal, he could not deduce the Domain Curse, but once he knew the result and worked backward, it became much simpler. After half a day’s divination, he confirmed that there indeed was a Domain Curse, and he admitted that with his current abilities, he could not help you remove this curse.

However, Jiu Wei the True Immortal was not entirely unhelpful. He provided Wu Nan with a suppressive protective talisman, so that others could not easily discern that he was cursed.

Wu Nan the True Immortal felt extremely frustrated, but he could not openly inquire about how to lift the Domain Curse—recklessly harming others in the lower realm was ultimately not well-regarded, and his current state had a hint of karmic retribution to it, which was shameful to speak of.

In the blink of an eye, it has been over a hundred years since Jiu Wei the True Immortal’s divination. It has been two hundred and forty years since he reached the Nascent Soul stage, and in the first fifty years, he advanced to the Nascent Soul Third Layer. Now, still at the Nascent Soul Third Layer, it’s fake to say he’s not anxious.

He had a good relationship with Wan Qing the True Immortal and had heard about the happenings in the Kunhao Plane. He proactively asked to come along this time to find out if Mountain Master Feng had a way to remove the Domain Curse.

Of course, he was too embarrassed to bring up such an embarrassing matter initially; it was best to first ascertain Feng Jun’s abilities.

Initially, Feng Jun did not notice anything unusual about him. One reason was that he wasn’t in the habit of probing others’ secrets casually; another was that Jiu Wei the True Immortal’s talisman was quite effective, such that ordinary people couldn’t sense anything amiss.

It was only when he seriously examined it that he discovered this hidden danger.

Although he discovered the risk relatively late, Wu Nan the True Immortal was quite pleased because before he even had a chance to remove the talisman, Mountain Master Feng had already deduced some clues, indicating his extraordinary skills.

At this moment, Yi Jue the True Immortal furrowed her brows and spoke, "The power of the Domain... I don’t feel it; it’s as if something is obscuring it."

"Ha," Jiu Wei the True Immortal couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "that’s the protective talisman I refined for Wu Nan; isn’t it quite effective?"

Yi Jue the True Immortal rolled her eyes with a hint of helplessness; she felt lost for words.

Wu Nan the True Immortal couldn’t care less, full of hope as he asked, "So, can this curse be removed?"

"Removing the curse..." Feng Jun was about to say it wasn’t difficult, but then he recalled he had once incited Yue Qing to curse Feng Yishu. If the other party found out and traced back through this line, it might not look good.

However, removing the curse really isn’t difficult. As a Big Boss once said, Domain Curses are the easiest to remove, even simpler than man-made curses, because they lack the complexity of human nature; usually, simple handling can resolve it.

But such words couldn’t be spoken so casually. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Let’s put removing the curse on hold; let me ask you, who do you think is willing to bear this karma?"

"I knew it!" Jiu Wei the True Immortal slapped his thigh and spoke as if realizing suddenly, "Domain Curse... others may not necessarily be able to undo it. The most frightening part is the involvement of the entire domain’s karma. Who would dare take that risk?"

Wu Nan the True Immortal’s expression changed slightly, muttering under his breath, "Actually... I had a similar assessment."

As someone suffering from the curse, he had already considered for over a hundred years. How could he not think of this possibility?

"You two are overthinking it," Yi Jue the True Immortal coldly said, "Domain Curses aren’t something just anyone can remove. I’ve never heard of any specific method; only those capable would consider the karma involved. Those incapable don’t need to think about it."

Though her words weren’t polite, they hit the mark directly. Wu Nan the True Immortal’s eyes lit up at once, "Mountain Master Feng... are you sure you can remove this Domain Curse?"

"I said, put it on hold for now!" Feng Jun coughed lightly, raised his voice slightly, "I’m asking about karma; who do you intend to make bear this karma? If you’re thinking of asking me to bear it, sorry, I can’t help you!"

"I would never have you bear it," Wu Nan the True Immortal shook his head, expressing with unusual firmness, "I don’t know what the requirements are for bearing karma... if possible, I am willing to bear it all by myself."

"You will certainly not be left out," Feng Jun replied nonchalantly, "No one can overlook you, but there still need to be others. Of course, if the higher-ups in your Jinwu Sect are willing to bear some karma, it wouldn’t be difficult to manage."

"Higher-ups bearing karma?" The three True Immortals of Jinwu Sect were taken aback simultaneously, and finally, Wan Qing the True Immortal spoke, "As fellow disciples, it is our duty to bear the karma. Mountain Master Feng, do you think I could?"

Feng Jun glanced at him, smiling and shaking his head, "It’s not that I underestimate you; it’s just that your weight, Wan Qing the True Immortal, seems to fall short."

Wan Qing the True Immortal’s expression changed abruptly, then he sighed softly, "This is... troublesome because those above me are the sect’s pillars. How can we, how can we..."

He stumbled over the words "how can we" for quite a while but ultimately did not continue.

Nonetheless, Yi Jue the True Immortal beside him understood. She shook her head helplessly, "Sigh, how should I put this to you? Such karma is significant for an individual but for the Seven Prominent Sects, it’s nothing? Do you truly not understand Mountain Master Feng’s point?"
