Chapter 1319: Chapter 78: He’s Getting Anxious (First Update)

"Jiang Li, I will use the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book to curse your wife’s life. If you want her to live, come and take back the curse object yourself."

Through the connection of cause and effect, the words of the Great Heavenly Venerate were clearly perceived by Jiang Li.

In fact, he even took the initiative to transmit his voice in reverse, speaking across the air.

Before the End of Dharma, the Great Heavenly Venerate was also a top-tier formidable power, naturally well-versed in the heavenly secrets Echange Skill, with profound achievements. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be qualified to speak on equal terms with the Tathagata Buddha.

Calling him the "Great Heavenly Venerate" is essentially the same as calling him "Emperor Jiang," which are both ways to avoid being perceived through the connection of cause and effect.

Using special titles to replace real names was generally the norm for top-tier powers before the End of Dharma.

With the Great Heavenly Venerate’s cry, the matter was completely laid bare.

Everyone present frowned, with Gongsun Qingyue and Tianxuan’s expressions changing slightly.

"Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book," Emperor Jiang shook his head, "The Great Heavenly Venerate truly shows no shame."

He was once the supreme of the Heavenly Court, and although times have changed, some face should still be kept.

But now, having been seriously offended by Jiang Li, the ultimate insult was not fully achieved, yet he had suffered quite a bit, with his face torn off by Jiang Li, so face no longer mattered.

The means used by the Great Heavenly Venerate were indeed formidable.

The Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book appeared during the Sealing God Battle, the unique curse technique of the rogue immortal Luya Daoist.

This Luya Daoist might be called a rogue immortal, but in terms of rank, he was actually higher than a Daluo Golden Immortal.

For the Immortal Gods, curse techniques were merely a small path. But taken to the extreme, even a small path can wield unparalleled power.

The Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is one of the quintessential representatives of taking a curse to its utmost limit.

It does not require one’s birth date and eight characters, nor one’s lifeline qi, it only needs the name to initiate the curse.

The process of the curse isn’t difficult: set up a camp, within a camp, a stage, weave a straw figure inscribed with the enemy’s name, one lamp on the head, one lamp beneath the feet, with celestial footwork, write symbols and burn them, making offerings three times a day.

By doing so for twenty-one days, the fundamental primordial spirit of the cursed is worshipped away, namely their three souls and seven spirits, at which point the caster shoots wooden arrows at the straw figure, as if hitting the target’s true body; under three arrows, it is soul scattering.

The Daluo Golden Immortal Zhao Gongming died under the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.

"The Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book can curse even Daluo Golden Immortal to death," Tianxuan said solemnly, "And a Daluo Golden Immortal’s Dao Fruit is third grade."

She and the Primordial Lord Rain Master personally moved the Cave Heaven of the Upper Pure Sect back, receiving the most important heritage of Upper Pure Sect, so they had some understanding of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.

After all, the previous cornerstone treasure of the Upper Pure Sect was precisely the Second Grade Daoist Artifact, Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber, Luya Daoist’s famous magic treasure.

But after hearing this, Gongsun Qingyue calmed down, only looking at Jiang Li.

"It’s alright,"

Jiang Li met Gongsun Qingyue’s gaze and smiled, "The Great Heavenly Venerate cannot do anything to us. If the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book were truly powerful, he would have used it long ago, why wait until today."

With a composed demeanor, Jiang Li said to everyone, "The reason the curse technique is considered a side-door left-hand path is because its essence is to convert one’s qi fortune into yin force, to erode another’s life. Though the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book is formidable, it can’t escape this scope."

The essence of qi fortune is the external manifestation of one’s life chart, thus using the curse technique is essentially a desperate move against others.

If one’s life is not durable enough, even using the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, it wouldn’t kill anyone, instead it would end up killing oneself.

If one’s life is durable, perhaps they could kill, but they would also suffer loss in qi fortune, and injury in the life chart.

If it truly were without cost, the Great Heavenly Venerate would have used it already. Unable to kill Jiang Li alone, cursing others to death by half could also bring collapse to Jiang Li.

The Great Heavenly Venerate doesn’t use it simply because the cost of using such a technique far outweighs the gains.

If an enemy can be killed by one’s own hand, why bother with desperate measures?

If an enemy needs desperate measures to be killed, using the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book might end up killing oneself instead.

That’s why Luya Daoist himself would not use the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, he made Jiang Ziya use it instead.

The only one that might transcend this desperate essence could well be the Six Souls Banner crafted by Lingbao Tianzun.

Yet seeing Lingbao Tianzun only use the Six Souls Banner when absolutely necessary, it’s likely because its cost is significant.

From this point of view, even this non-material cultivation system abides by the principle of energy conservation. Power does not appear out of nowhere, it must always be transformed from somewhere, seemingly mysterious, as the curse technique is that can kill the strong with the weak, is no exception.

"Empress Gongsun and the Emperor are one, with profound qi fortune. To curse her would require a great cost even for the Great Heavenly Venerate." Daoist Lord nodded in agreement and supplemented.

With this said, the atmosphere seemed to ease up, and everyone’s brows relaxed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Strong beings come with matching qi fortune. In addition, standing together with the state, the Emperor embodies the nation, now occupying the Nine Provinces, the Heavenly Court, and part of the Underworld. If Jiang Li’s qi fortune were to manifest, it’d be no exaggeration to say it would be Purple Qi Eastward for three thousand miles.

Gongsun Qingyue sharing fortune and woe with Jiang Li cannot be viewed as a mere fourth-rank.

Regarding this, Gongsun Qingyue smiled, looked at Jiang Li, and said, "I have faith in Shidi."

Her words were gentle, expressing complete trust, neither saying for Jiang Li to act, nor showing concern not to let Jiang Li act.

After speaking, Gongsun Qingyue added, "Nonetheless, necessary precautions must be taken. Everyone, Your Highness will first go with Master to set up restrictions and the array, you all discuss first."

With that, Gongsun Qingyue nodded as a gesture of respect, then asked Jiang Li for the Heavenly Mirror, and with Tianxuan reflected in the mirror, she left the hall first.

After the Heavenly Mirror left, the scenes from the South Sea could no longer be displayed, and those remaining noticed this, silently leaving the hall as well.

Ultimately, only the three bandits who had just broken through the door remained, that is, the three second grades.

"The Emperor has a good wife." Karma Tathagata said softly.

Without any worry or fear, only displaying trust. Because she believes, Jiang Li will solve everything.

Even taking the lead in yielding the space, allowing the three second grades to discuss.

"The Great Heavenly Venerate is anxious."

Jiang Li asserted, "When I suddenly eased my onslaught earlier, the Great Heavenly Venerate will surely suspect that the Fuxi Dao Fruit’s Promotion Ceremony was leaked and known to me. Under such circumstances, for him to resort to such extreme methods only indicates that knowledge of the Promotion Ceremony isn’t exclusive to us. He now is unafraid of the Promotion Ceremony’s exposure."

Using such disgraceful and offensive means naturally invites the most intense backlash.

The most direct means of rebuttal would be to reveal the Fuxi Dao Fruit’s Promotion Ceremony, leaving the opponent in a state of isolation and helplessness.

In this manner, even if the Great Heavenly Venerate lures Jiang Li to his doorstep, it would only lead to a repeated situation, ravaged by the three bandits again.

No matter how furious the Great Heavenly Venerate may be, it would not drive him to irrationality.

"It seems the Great Heavenly Venerate paid a significant price." Karma Tathagata continued.
