Grasping the Evil-Chapter 993: Eternal Undying Rain

Upon hearing the Water Curtain Immortal King’s question, the people below were somewhat afraid, and nervously replied,

"Reporting, reporting to the Ancestor, that cultivator named Wu has an even bigger appetite this time. He not only wants the Spirit Supreme Water Pearl, but also, also..."

"What! It’s only been a few days, how did he raise the price! What else does he want in order to leave Water Curtain Star!" The Water Curtain Immortal King burst out in anger.

"He also wants thirty trillion Dao Crystals, claiming that he watched the city gate of Water Curtain City for my Shui Family for three days, and it can’t be for nothing, one trillion a day. He also said that the longer Ancestor drags on, the more he wants money. He can afford the delay, but the Shui Family’s bottom line may not, nor may the Ancestor’s lightning tribulation..."

Bang!

The Water Curtain Immortal King was crazed with anger!

Watching the city gate for one trillion a day, what a joke! Is this Wu Laoba’s status that high? Does he think he’s a Quasi-Saint? Even a Quasi-Saint wouldn’t demand so many Dao Crystals for guarding a gate! Does he really think the Shui Family is easy to bully!

"Someone, go to the Dao Spring Pool! Retrieve my Water-Splitting Fallen God Halberd! This halberd should be almost repaired by now! So, the turtle bastard won’t leave, fine, I’ll beat him until he does! People say the heir of Dark Luck can’t be killed, that killing him is inauspicious. Humph, I happen to want to see if the heir of Dark Luck can be killed!"

The people below were even more jittery, "This matter... this matter, I’m afraid it’s not possible... there was an error in the repair process of the Water-Splitting Fallen God Halberd... it can’t be used yet..."

"What!" The Water Curtain Immortal King’s heart trembled.

The Water-Splitting Fallen God Halberd was his twelve Nirvana Magical Treasure that he had refined for years. Due to a previous duel, the treasure’s Artifact Spirit suffered some minor damage and was handed over to his servants for repair.

But that was only a small injury, very easy to repair, it just needed to be placed in the Dao Spring to nourish the Artifact Spirit, nothing else was needed. How could such a simple repair process go wrong!

"Ancestor, you may not know this, but just yesterday, there was a once-in-a-million-years terrestrial pulse change on Water Curtain Star. The accumulating turbidity in the ground surged out, polluting the Dao Spring, and further aggravating the injury of the Water-Splitting Fallen God Halberd’s Artifact Spirit, causing it near extinction... If not greatly repaired, this treasure may not be usable..."

Sss!

The Water Curtain Immortal King trembled.

A once-in-a-million-years terrestrial pulse change coincidentally happened during the repair of his treasure?

"Then, bring me my Immortal Water Bow! I will shoot that turtle bastard to death!" The Water Curtain Immortal King ordered again.

"This... I’m afraid won’t work either... the bowstring of the Immortal Water Bow has unexpectedly snapped..." The servants shivered.

"What! The bowstring of the Immortal Water Bow was refined from the tendons of a Qiu Dragon, resistant to water and fire, and resistant to damage from swords and blades. How could it suddenly break! Is it because you didn’t guard well, letting someone sneak into the treasure vault and ruin the bowstring!" The Water Curtain Immortal King was furious!

"Injustice, Ancestor! An Artifact Refiner has already examined it. The wear on the bowstring happened to reach its limit, and it broke from deterioration... It’s not the fault of these small ones!"

"What a joke! The bowstring never broke before or later, but it breaks as soon as Wu Laoba arrives! Don’t use coincidences to brush off the old man, I don’t believe it!"

The Water Curtain Immortal King was still shouting in anger, but deep down, he was a bit scared.

Evil luck, too evil luck! As soon as Wu Laoba came, everything went wrong for him, two consecutive magical treasures couldn’t be used...

Suddenly, another group of Shu Family masters hurriedly arrived at the main hall to report messages to the Water Curtain Immortal King.

"Report! Guest Elder Liu Shinan was injured by a meteor falling from the sky and requests the Ancestor to bestow medicine to save his life!"

"Report! The Fourth Elder was returning to the Shui Family’s route encountered a once-in-ten-thousand-years constellation storm, now severely injured and dying, asking Ancestor to use the clan’s secret medicine to save him!"

"Report! The eternal, indestructible ancient giant statue in Shui King Hall collapses bizarrely..."

"Report! The star nucleus of Water Curtain Star is unstable and at risk of collapsing, please Ancestor quickly migrate the star and find a new clan land for our tribe!"

"Report..."

Enough!

The Water Curtain Immortal King fiercely smashed the table, and then sighed heavily.

He believed it! He believed the legend! If he doesn’t drive Wu Laoba away, his magical treasures will be accidentally destroyed completely, his men will accidentally die en masse, his home base will face star collapse and earth rupture!

More importantly, in ten more days, it would be the time of his minor lightning tribulation. Previously, he would never believe that he would face a cultivation deviation during his minor tribulation, but now... he believed it!

If he doesn’t drive Wu Laoba away or become an enemy of Wu Laoba, at the next minor lightning tribulation, he would either die or shed a layer of skin!

The legend says, you can’t talk about Heiyun Sect, can’t mention, can’t provoke.

The legend says, it is a lifelong curse to offend the heir of Dark Luck, and killing the heir will bring their black luck entanglement for life.

The legend...

"Come, fetch the Spirit Supreme Water Pearl, and also fetch thirty trillion Dao Crystals, deliver them to Wu Laoba! Ask him... to quickly leave Water Curtain Star!"

...

Thus, Wu Laoba happily left Water Curtain Star with the extorted items.

Strangely enough, as soon as he left, Water Curtain Star returned to normal, the star didn’t collapse, the earth didn’t rupture, the terrestrial pulse returned to normal, the Shui Family masters who had been plagued by bad luck, suddenly were freed from the misfortune.

"Hehe, dare to battle with me, Wu Laoba, without weighing one’s good fortune! Ever since the star of misfortune left, except for Ning Fan, below a Quasi-Saint, I haven’t really feared anyone! This Water Curtain Immortal King couldn’t even withstand thirty percent of my bad luck, weak, too weak! If I used ten percent bad luck, wouldn’t this boy kneel down and beg for mercy..."

Wu Laoba was in a great mood.

Hanhai Sect, Long River Sect, Mohe Star Great Goose Sect, Shui Family of Water Curtain Star... counting them one by one, in just three years, he had extorted dozens of Eastern Heavenly powers.

In three years, Wu Laoba scoured Eastern Heavenly sects, not only gathering the materials needed to repair the Flooded Bottle, but also reaping countless benefits.

Days without the star of misfortune restraint were truly joyful, he somewhat missed the free and easy days of the past.

Unfortunately, such free and easy life is gone forever, it’s better to accept reality and obediently serve Ning Fan as a loyal servant. After all, being a loyal servant isn’t without benefits, Wu Laoba thought optimistically.

"Ever since recognizing the star of misfortune as my master, for reasons unknown, my cultivation of bad luck has become increasingly easy to control. Previously, wherever I went, misfortune followed. Now, only those I wish to suffer bad luck experience it..."

"Thanks to the star of misfortune’s blessing, the progress of my cultivation technique has improved significantly. The extremely difficult destiny points to unlock from the past have one by one been successfully cultivated. Previously breaking through a cultivation bottleneck required failing hundreds or thousands of times, but now it’s extremely easy to break through dozens of bottlenecks..."

"Master once said, when things reach their extreme, they will reverse. Cultivators like us who refine bad luck, if we can find life’s turning point, can turn misfortune into blessings, becoming top fortune stars in the world. Looking at it now, this Ning old monster is certainly my life’s turning point. Hehe, at the current cultivation speed, soon, I should be able to slightly touch the bottleneck of Eternity’s Second Tribulation..."

Hehe, living by the star of misfortune is actually not bad. Wu Laoba secretly planned that once the Flood Bottle is repaired, he would take the sealed item inside and return to the star of misfortune. With the current cultivation speed, continuing to follow the star of misfortune for tens of thousands of years, he was confident to cultivate all the way to the Immortal Emperor Realm!

Speaking of which, the materials to repair the bottle are already gathered, it’s time to find a place to properly repair the bottle.

Wu Laoba took out the Treasure-Seeking Turtle, confirmed a direction, and then raced forward, crossing countless galaxies, arriving outside a water-blue Cultivation Star.

This star is known as Water Demon Star, a Cultivation Star where Loose Cultivators congregate. The cultivators on the star aren’t many, mostly crossing the starry sea to come here to cultivate as Water Cultivators.

Wu Laoba calculated that this Water Demon Star has excellent water veins, perfectly suitable as a place to repair the bottle.

The process of repairing the Flooded Bottle would drain the Water Essence Force of an entire Cultivation Star. After repairing the Flooded Bottle, this Water Demon Star would likely become an Abandoned Star. But this was not something Wu Laoba cared about.

"Within a hundred breaths, all cultivators on this star, leave! This star, I want it!"

Wu Laoba lazily picked his nose, his voice filled with eternal pressure, yet in an instant, it spread throughout Water Demon Star, causing the entire star’s cultivators to panic.

At once, all cultivators on Water Demon Star turned pale with terror, those in seclusion rushed out from their rocky seclusion caves, those refining artifacts collected their embryos, those practicing Alchemy packed up their Fragmentation Cauldrons, hastily gathering their belongings and fleeing towards the outside of Water Demon Star.

Would you dare not leave? Didn’t you hear an Eternal Immortal Venerable came to seize the star? Such a person, with just a single Divine Skill, could annihilate all life on Water Demon Star in an instant! Who would dare oppose, who would dare not leave when such a person arrives?

Within a hundred breaths, such a vast Water Demon Star became empty!

All Loose Cultivators who came to this star to cultivate departed across the stars!

Wu Laoba flicked away the booger from his nose, landed on the Water Demon Star, found the best spot of the water vein, and then, smugly humming a tune, began to take things out one by one. Everything he took out was an extremely rare Immortal Material used to repair the Water-Flooding Realm Bottle.

The joyful repair process began.

For the following month, the off-key singing on the Water Demon Star never ceased!

A month later, the spiritual energy on Water Demon Star was depleted, turning it into an Abandoned Star! The rare Immortal Materials Wu Laoba had scavenged were also used up!

Wu Laoba held the Water-Flooding World Bottle in his hands, handling it cautiously, unwilling to part with it.

A month ago, this bottle still looked old and damaged.

A month later, this bottle had regained its innate might, with a constant emanation of blue spiritual energy, making the surrounding world instantly have the salty scent of sea breeze.

After the repair, the appearance of the bottle was still that of a Sheep Fat Jade Purifying Bottle, without any change; only three water drop-shaped runes were added to the bottle’s body.

Wu Laoba caressed the three water drop runes on the bottle, grinning from ear to ear.

Innate Mid-grade Magical Treasure, Water-Flooding Realm Bottle! The famous treasure of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor—the third ancestor, Emperor Shuiyan! Now, it’s in the hands of him, Wu Laoba!

It’s rumored that a sea is sealed within the Water-Flooding Bottle, the sea water inexhaustible and continuous, and just a single drop of sea water weighs as much as a mountain!

It’s said that during the era of the Demon-Sealing Peak, there was once a rebellion of Ancient Chaos Grand Emperors, gathering seven Immortal Emperors, attempting to challenge the Demon-Sealing Peak. In that battle, Emperor Shuiyan faced the rebellious realm alone, summoned the sea water within the bottle, sealing the heavens and earth, flooding one realm’s living beings, including the seven Immortal Emperors, all drowned in the sea water!

This battle made the Water-Flooding Bottle’s name resound!

It’s said, if this bottle’s power were fully unleashed, even a Quasi-Saint must avoid its sharpness. Of course, fully unleashing its power is not an easy matter, requiring great risk, which is also the biggest limitation of this bottle...

At the thought of the huge risks involved in using this bottle, Wu Laoba felt a shiver run through his scalp. This bottle, he could not enjoy its benefit; better let the star of misfortune use it instead...

"Hehe, I Wu Laoba am the world’s foremost loyal servant, obtaining an Innate Mid-grade Magical Treasure and the first thought in my mind is to dedicate it to the master, this loyalty could illuminate the sun and moon. Though Luo Shix is also a loyal servant, compared to me Wu Laoba, he’s still a notch below... Ah, young friend Luo Shix, you have much to learn." Wu Laoba narcissistically muttered to himself. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Master, oh master, I’ve given you the bottle, let the little trinkets sealed inside be a reward for this humble one... With your elderly vision so high, how could you possibly take interest in such trinkets? This is not to say that this little one is disloyal, but simply that there is no need to bother you, my lord. Ah, I am just this loyal. Once I collect this item, refine it into a Dao Weapon, and increase my strength, I will certainly repay the master well! The Eternal Undying Rain of the Nether Dust Sea, hehe..." Wu Laoba licked his lips.

His master, Ancestor Heiyun, once told him a story.

Outside the Dreamland Realm, there are Three Great Realms, among them one is called the Nether Dust Realm.

In the Nether Dust Realm, there is an area surrounded by sea, originally the Zi Wei and Northern Dipper Immortal Domains, but was pacified by a single person and merged into the Zi Dou Immortal Domain.

The Zi Dou Immortal Domain is the homeland of Dreamland Realm cultivators!

The sea surrounding the Zi Dou Immortal Domain is the Nether Dust Sea, famous across the three realms!

A single drop of water from the Nether Dust Sea can be as heavy as a mountain, and within the sea dwell creatures named ’the Northern Cold Country,’ any attempt to take water from the Nether Dust Sea results in an attack by ’the Northern Cold Country.’

Unless they are saints, one simply doesn’t have the power to take water from the Nether Dust Sea!

Yet Emperor Shuiyan, with a Second Step status, somehow took countless sea waters from the Nether Dust Sea, refined them into a bottle, the Water-Flooding Realm Bottle!

The sea sealed within the Water-Flooding Bottle is the sea water from the Nether Dust Sea!

Legend has it, every thirty million years, the water of the Nether Dust Sea evaporates, turning into vapor that returns to the sky, falls as rain over three days, and once more becomes the sea.

And there will be a few raindrops that stay forever in the sky, never returning to the sea; those few raindrops are called the ’Eternal Undying Rain’ by True Realm Cultivators, the supreme Immortal Material for water cultivators to refine Dao Weapons! Its value is high enough to make a saint intervene!

Wu Laoba does not dare to covet the Water-Flooding Realm Bottle, nor plans to betray Ning Fan, but he is determined to obtain the ’Eternal Undying Rain’ within the bottle!

"Water is the softest thing in the world, but extremes breed their opposites. When the ultimate softness is reached, it becomes the hardest thing in the world! The Eternal Undying Rain is precisely the product of the softness and hardness of the Nether Dust Sea’s water, heavier than ordinary seawater. A single drop is equivalent to the weight of a Cultivation Star! If refined into a Dao Weapon, it can greatly enhance the power of the weapon, something that Heavenly Dao Purple Qi cannot compare to..."

"Emperor Shuiyan achieved the Dao in ancient times, but obtained the Nether Dust Sea’s water and refined the Flooded Bottle rather late. He didn’t hold the Flooded Bottle long and only caught one instance of the bottle’s sea transforming into rain, missing another transformation thirty million years later... After the fall of the Demon-Sealing Peak, the nine ancient devil ancestors were suppressed under nine mountains, and this bottle was destroyed and lost in battle..."

"Legend has it that Emperor Shuiyan experienced only one sea transformation rain in his life, from which he obtained a single drop of Eternal Undying Rain... Just one drop greatly increased the Dao Weapon’s power, and if fully activated, it could slash out a trace of the Power of Reincarnation, surpassing the power of the Second Step!"

"Since this treasure was destroyed in battle, it has been one and a half billion years, enough time for five sea transformation rains within the bottle!"

Five sea transformation rains!

If each rain could birth a drop of Eternal Undying Rain, there should be five drops in this bottle!

Of course, sea transformation rain doesn’t necessarily produce Eternal Undying Rain, nor can it only produce one drop at a time... Whether this bottle contains Eternal Undying Rain, and how many drops there are, remains uncertain...

"When I open the magical treasure space of the Flooded Bottle, I will know! Master, let your loyal servant, Little Ba, retrieve these Eternal Undying Rains for you!"

Wu Laoba chuckled slyly, holding the bottle in one hand while making a spirit sense gesture with the other.

A beam of blood light shot straight out of the bottle, but Wu Laoba was not surprised, as if he had anticipated this all along. He quickly retreated, cautiously watching the blood light.

The blood light landed on the ground, shook, and transformed into a seemingly illusory red-faced elder, clad in a green robe with golden armor, exuding an awe-inspiring ancient demonic aura.

It turned out to be an ancient demon with the cultivation of a Pinnacle Immortal King!

"You, you sensed my presence?" The red-faced elder squinted slightly, looking deeply wary at Wu Laoba. He let out a disdainful snort upon seeing Wu Laoba’s Eon-old Tribulation Cultivation.

Wu Laoba chuckled wickedly, saying, "My Treasure-Seeking Turtle is innately gifted; even without opening the Purity Bottle space, even if you never uttered a word, I’d know you’re hiding in this bottle! If I’m not mistaken, you should be one of the avatars of Emperor Shuiyan..."

"Correct, I am indeed Shuiyan’s Eleventh Avatar! During the great calamity at Demon-Sealing Peak, my true body was suppressed, yet many avatars scattered and fled. Most were destroyed, but this one, hidden within the Flooded Bottle, was not detected by the Great Honored Zhanqing! You can consider me a Shuiyan Avatar, or as Shuiyan himself! I’m quite curious how you, with an Eon-old Tribulation Cultivation, have the ability to repair the battle-destroyed Flooded Bottle. No matter, once I’ve killed you and searched your memories, all will be clear! Surprisingly, even without the blood-sucking harming method, I can exit this bottle. Since you released me, I’ll grant you a swift end!"

The red-faced elder sneered slightly and charged at Wu Laoba like a vicious wind.

Wu Laoba laughed more maniacally. He knew, given the notorious ruthless nature of Emperor Shuiyan, that even if he released him, he would not return kindness.

No matter, no matter!

Wu Laoba’s plan was to first kill the Shuiyan Avatar before entering the bottle’s realm to collect the Eternal Undying Rain!

"Though you are a Pinnacle Immortal King, due to long years of entrapment, you’re on the verge of death. Even though I’m just Eon-old Tribulation, my Divine Skills are not as weak as you imagine!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, Wu Laoba had exchanged several rounds with the red-faced elder without falling into disadvantage!

After all, the red-faced elder had been trapped for far too long, his cultivation could only be exerted at one to twenty percent. Wu Laoba could actually hold a tie in the battle.

And after Wu Laoba transformed into his Eternal True Body, he even gained a slight upper hand!

This left the red-faced elder inwardly grim!

Countless galaxies away, Ning Fan stood on an Abandoned Star with an amused smile.

Everything happening on the Water Demon Star did not escape his Heaven Prying Rain Technique!

"Emperor Shuiyan, huh..."

With a golden light flash under his feet, Ning Fan departed from this Abandoned Star. Some passing cultivators, startled by his escape light, had their expressions drastically change...
