Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 468 - 441: Xiong Wang Shou

"It’s not that complicated. It’s just that your potential hasn’t been fully exploited yet. Don’t forget, I’m also from the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race. Others might think you’re using an External Incarnation, but I know you’re using Top-Grade Hairs. I suspect you still have a lot of Top-Grade Hairs on you, which might allow you to live for a very, very long time. So, do you want to make a deal?"

"What deal?"

Wang Wu was very curious.

"Do you know about the Foundation Establishment Array of our Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race? The Five Elements Profound Yellow Array?"

The Bear Demon brawny man suddenly asked.

"I know, but I haven’t deployed it."

"Haha, it would be strange if you could deploy it. You, a descendant of sinners, being able to deploy a Tier One Five Elements Spirit Array is already impressive. How would you have the chance to deploy a Five Elements Profound Yellow Array? But now, I can teach you the Array Map of the Five Elements Profound Yellow Array."

"Are you joking?" Wang Wu was very surprised.

"What joke am I making? Just tell me if you’re tempted. You must be tempted and must think you won’t die, right? But to me, you’re doomed. So before you die, using the Five Elements Profound Yellow Array to fully exploit your potential, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

The Bear Demon brawny man seemed to make a lot of sense.

Wang Wu thought its brain was quite clever.

"That’s right; it sounds logical. But how do you know that my potential is worth all this trouble? Wouldn’t it be easier to just get more benefits from the person who hired you?"

"Not at all, not at all. This potential is not ordinary Spiritual Qi, not ordinary resources, but your heart, and the Blood Curse Celestial Punishment upon it. I need to drain all your blood, eat your flesh, and transfer your Blood Curse Celestial Punishment onto my heart."

The Bear Demon brawny man shook his head.

"Why?"

Wang Wu asked again.

"Hehe, why? Of course, because I need the Blood Curse Celestial Punishment to evade the pursuits of the Great Witch Priest. Naturally, because one day, I will return, and I will become the new Great Witch Priest of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear!"

So that’s it, another criminal of the Ancient Bear Race.

Wang Wu nodded, "I’m very interested in your deal, and also very interested in your story. Can you tell me what crime you committed?"

"Want to hear? Simple, bring a hundred Stone Coupons."

Wang Wu was startled, then understood. The other party wanted to deplete his resources in this manner, because the continuous consumption of Top-Grade Hairs would eventually exhaust them.

Once exhausted, his ability to resist the erosion of the Three Calamities would naturally decline.

Thus, this Bear Demon wouldn’t have to act, wouldn’t have to break the rules, and could still kill him.

Very clever big bear!

But Wang Wu happily took out a hundred Giant Stones and traded them over.

No matter, he liked listening to stories.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems your resources are even deeper than I expected. But it’s fine, five hundred years, there’s plenty of time to watch you die."

The Bear Demon brawny man laughed heartily, then said, "My name is Shou, in the royal lineage of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Bloodline, so within the tribe, I’m called Wang Shou. Outside the tribe, I’m called Xiong Wang Shou, and I call myself that as well. Similarly, you, you’re called Wang Zhige, but according to the rules of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race, you should be called Xiong Wang Zhige, or Xiong Wang Wu."

"Your name has ’Wang’ in it, indicating your ancestors were once of the Ancient Bear Royal Race, but in reality, your ancestral bloodline has likely been diluted and merged many times. You no longer deserve the title Wang, you should be called Xiong Min Zhige, or Xiong Minwu, or even worse, Xiong Jianmin Zhige, or Xiong Jianmin Wu."

"Of course, it doesn’t matter. Getting back on topic, I was considered a top genius within the Mang Mountain Ancient Bears of the last ten thousand years, a romantic figure of the Ancient Bears. It was a glorious time; I was even accepted by the Great Witch Priest as a closed-door disciple, with the potential to become the new Great Witch Priest."

"But later, I caused trouble, cliché as it is. I fell for a beautiful little fox, secretly took her as a concubine, and bore two cubs. I quite enjoyed the harmonious family life. Of course, I knew the clan rules, so I hid them away in a place only I could find."

"But later, they were discovered, and the Great Witch Priest executed them. I couldn’t defeat the Great Witch Priest, so I killed his grandson! Then I escaped, and no one could catch me, because that’s our Mang Mountain Ancient Bears’ trump card. My Level 27 Passive Concealment, during that period, I was very distraught, just wanted to wander aimlessly, life was meaningless."

"It wasn’t until later that I discovered the truth. That fox, the woman I loved to the core, she deliberately approached me with a purpose. Do you know what’s the funniest part about this?"

"She didn’t even want to steal the secrets of the Ancient Bear Race. She just wanted to destroy me, to destroy the most outstanding royal lineage of the Ancient Bear Race in the last ten thousand years! Damn it, she just wanted to destroy me, not because she hated me, but because she foolishly followed the orders of the Fox Race Elder. To come love me, bear my children, and then report herself!"

"I don’t even know what she aimed for?"

"Everything turned into a joke, our vows, our love, our children, damn it! Completely insane!"

"So I went crazy, killed four Taiyi True Immortals from the Fox Race in a single battle, massacred two cities, who knows how many innocent lives taken. Anyway, I was bloodthirsty in my killing, until the Hidden Origin Bell caught me, imprisoned me here. To this day, it’s been sixteen thousand five hundred thirty-four years, nine months, and seven days."

"That’s my story."

Wang Wu listened, and also found it shocking. The outside Cultivation Realm is indeed cruel, full of dangers, competition, and schemes; truly nothing is spared.

Just like the story of Xiong Wang Shou.

Additionally, this guy already has Level 27 Passive Concealment. No wonder there was no prior indication before he destroyed the Three-Defense Cave Mansion and the Three-Defense Treasure Armor, and furthermore, this guy could kill four Taiyi True Immortals in a row—his strength is much more formidable than that of Senior Sister Qin.

After thinking it over, Wang Wu felt a bit curious.

"Your strength is so formidable, and the things you’ve done are so earth-shattering. You’re at least a renowned big figure in the Cultivation Realm. Why would you take on such a trivial bounty task? I’m so insignificant and petty, don’t you feel it beneath you to deal with me?"

After asking this question, Wang Wu immediately paid a hundred Giant Stones, as per the rules.

Xiong Wang Shou accepted the stones without hesitation, then laughed strangely.

"Hehehe! You’ve imagined me too well, and you’ve imagined me too strong. This Cultivation Realm truly always has a higher mountain. The waters are deep. Once I also thought I could roam the vast world freely, but what happened? I’m imprisoned here, unable to move. Do you know how long my sentence is? Two hundred thousand years, just when my lifespan ends."

"This Cultivation Realm has one Great Wilderness Sin Prison after another. Do you think they only imprison weaklings like you? No, weaklings don’t even deserve to be imprisoned; they’re killed and eaten on the spot. Only the strong are worthy of being imprisoned. You think I’m worth a fart in this; do you understand?"

"Among the Artisan Squad here, of twelve prisoner laborers, your strength ranks at the bottom, but my strength only ranks third."

"So, I’m working hard, I’m trying my best to reform, and of course, I must seize every opportunity I can."

"Also, did you know? Participating in the repair of this Sin Prison Tower can reduce one’s sentence. As long as this Sin Prison Tower is successfully repaired, the Hidden Origin Association promises that the top ten prisoner laborers with the most contributions can each have their sentence reduced by fifty thousand years."

"Understand my point, right? This opportunity is rare. You, with your mere five-hundred-year sentence, won’t comprehend the intricacies within."

"Hmm, I’ve said too much today. We’ll chat another day!"

Xiong Wang Shou suddenly donned the Three-Defense Treasure Armor swiftly and left straight away.

After a while, that delicate woman strode back from outside, seemingly having just finished her task.

Seeing Wang Wu, she froze for a moment, then said angrily.

"Wang Zhige, your Three-Defense Treasure Armor needs repairs. Didn’t I tell you before? You didn’t believe it. In this place, don’t even think about cultivating. At least make sure to nourish it with Spiritual Qi every three days, or else its rate of damage will drive you to despair."

"Also, did you deplete another External Incarnation today? It’s just—"

"Forget it, I won’t persuade you anymore. You’re different from them, and your sentence is short, so you can afford to be willful."

This female master craftsman seemed to be in a good mood today, quickly completing the exchange with Wang Wu.

"In total, two thousand Stone Coupons, three hundred and sixty-two Iron Tickets, barely enough for you to repair the Three-Defense Treasure Armor once. Using an External Incarnation to exchange, I just can’t understand."

"Isn’t there three repair opportunities every year?" Wang Wu asked.

"Indeed there are, but those are for minor repairs. You’re in such a state now; you need a major repair! Not within this scope, so, do you want the repair?"

"Can you? Wasn’t it said materials were insufficient and would need a year to replenish?"

Wang Wu was taken aback. Previously, Xiong Wang Shou also mentioned his Three-Defense Treasure Armor couldn’t be repaired due to insufficient materials.

"Materials are indeed depleted. You’re just unlucky. However, if you say it’s beyond repair, that’s not necessarily true; I still have some materials myself, and I can still repair it. But in the future, you’d better ensure its maintenance every three days; otherwise, I can’t guarantee I can help you next time!"

The delicate woman said meaningfully.

"Thank you!"

Wang Wu was very grateful.

"No need to thank me. It’s my master’s instruction. I dare not disobey..."

"What? Your master? Master Lu!"

Wang Wu immediately thought of Lu Tiangong. That old man had always been good-natured.

"Not him; Frost Monarch is my master. I was transferred here to participate in the repair of the Sin Prison Tower. It’s a permanent Immortal Artifact, stronger than the Hidden Origin Bell. Repairing it involves many interests; of course, even if I explain, you wouldn’t understand. In short, listen to me in the future and endure the 500-year sentence. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee you’ll leave alive."

After speaking quickly, the delicate woman rolled her eyes at him and directly snatched the Three-Defense Treasure Armor from Wang Wu’s hands, her figure vanishing, leaving no trace of her departure.

Leaving Wang Wu standing there, dumbfounded.

So it was Frost Monarch secretly looking after him.

This beauty’s grace is overwhelming. Oh, what a sin!
