Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 814 - : A Glimmer of Thoughts

Chapter 814: Chapter 814: A Glimmer of Thoughts

On the sickbed, Mo Han’s father lay in a coma.

His physique was withered, his face pale as gold paper, his eyes tightly shut, his hair turning gray. Anyone could tell that his life would not last much longer.

Yet, in Wang Chen’s eyes, this elderly gentleman was enveloped in a layer of invisible, substantial black energy as if possessed by malevolent demons and spirits!

“This is cursed by a deathly spell.”

Elder Yao’s voice sounded in Wang Chen’s mind, “He can live for no more than three days.”

Wang Chen asked, “Elder, is there a way to break the curse?”

Wang Chen did not understand medicine, but with the help of Elder Yao, a Nascent Soul True Immortal who had reincarnated twelve times, he could completely play the role of a miracle doctor.

“Taoist Friend Wang, is there still hope for my father?”

Seeing Wang Chen lost in thought, Mo Han asked anxiously from the side.

If Wang Chen had no solution, then he could only watch helplessly as his father’s life slipped away.

“I’ll try.”

Wang Chen stepped forward to examine carefully and then took a pill from the Sumeru Ring and placed it into Father Mo’s mouth.

The pill could not lift the curse afflicting Father Mo, but it could preserve his last breath of life.

Plus, it could strengthen his vitality.

The pill turned into a medicinal liquid as soon as it was ingested, flowing down the throat into the stomach.

Father Mo did not wake up from it, but his complexion gradually regained some color.

He seemed to be on the verge of a significant recovery.

Mo Han was immediately overjoyed.

However, this was merely the beginning. Immediately after, Wang Chen raised his right palm and gently placed it on Father Mo’s forehead.

He infused a strand of pure Innate True Qi.

At that moment, the black energy around Father Mo reacted like an agitated hornet’s nest, frantically swarming towards Wang Chen’s palm, showing a tendency for fierce struggle.

This was the curse’s counterattack!

Its malevolence was tangible, causing Mo Han, who was standing nearby, to change color, realizing the severity of the situation.

But Wang Chen remained calm and fearless, allowing the dense black energy to envelop his hand.

The cursed black energy seemed sentient, splitting into countless fine tendrils, trying to burrow into Wang Chen’s skin and pores!

Yet no matter how hard they tried, they could not succeed.

Once all the black energy gathered, Wang Chen abruptly lifted his hand, his fingers opening and closing tightly, and the cursed black energy was suddenly kneaded into a mass at the center of his palm.

The cursed black energy clearly did not want to be captured without a fight. It twisted and struggled continuously but was never able to break free from Wang Chen’s grip.

In the end, it condensed into a black spider the size of a thumb!

Wang Chen flipped his wrist, and the black spider began to spin round and round in the palm of his hand, making a hissing sound.

“Wh-What is this?” Mo Han was taken aback.

“Killer Spider.”

Wang Chen explained, “Your father has fallen to its curse, which is the cause of his current condition!”

“Killer Spider?”

Mo Han’s face turned very grim, “I seem to have heard of it before. Taoist Friend Wang, has someone targeted my father?”

Wang Chen nodded, his right hand fingers suddenly clenched together.

With a “squeak,” the Killer Spider let out a shrill scream and instantly dissipated into ash in Wang Chen’s palm!

No matter how fierce the curse was, it couldn’t withstand Wang Chen’s power.

“Ugh…”

Almost at the same time, Father Mo, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

“Father!”

Mo Han was overjoyed, and immediately rushed to the bedside. “You’re finally awake!”

He had indeed suffered day and night, falling into despair at one point, but now, finally, the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

Meanwhile, Wang Chen formed a spell with his hands, following an elusive induction present in the murky depths and suddenly uttered a true word. “Break!”

As the saying goes, it is not courteous to receive without giving in return. Since someone had set a trap using Mo Han to scheme against him, how could Wang Chen simply take it without retaliating? He had to give the other party a taste of their own medicine.

No sooner had his words fallen, than a cultivator, who was deep in meditation within a secret chamber atop Green Cloud Peak in Green Cloud Palace, suddenly jumped three feet high, spewing a mouthful of black blood.

When the black blood splattered on the ground, it turned into countless black spiders that swarmed towards the cultivator.

These spiders, though small, were fierce in appearance, with their pincers fully exposed. They agilely burrowed into the clothes of the cultivator who had just fallen to the ground and viciously bit him.

A harrowing scream suddenly echoed throughout the secret chamber!

Back at the Mo Residence, Wang Chen thoughtfully glanced towards Green Cloud Peak.

“Taoist Friend Wang.”

Mo Han wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and gratefully said, “I really owe you a huge debt this time. Saving a life is more meritorious than anything else; I don’t know how I could possibly repay you. If there’s anything you need, just ask!”

Wang Chen smiled and replied, “You speak too seriously, Taoist Friend Mo. First, take good care of your father. We can talk about other matters later.”

Although Father Mo’s curse had been lifted, his body would not immediately recover, as it would require some time to recuperate.

Amidst thousands of expressions of gratitude from Mo Han, Wang Chen left the Mo Residence.

“You’re becoming more and more entangled in this mundane world,” Elder Yao suddenly said. “At this rate, when will you be able to attain the Great Supreme Realm?”

Taiwu City was indeed large, with a population of several million, but very few cultivators lived within the city walls.

Most cultivators resided and practiced in their separate courtyard cave mansions in the mountains, because only in such seclusion could one avoid the distractions of the mundane world and wholeheartedly pursue the ultimate Heavenly Dao.

And Mo Han was the prime example of the contrary.

As a cultivator holding the position of Governor in the Taiwu Pavilion, although he held considerable power and appeared quite impressive, he wasn’t high in the cultivation realm and didn’t have much say within the Green Cloud Alliance. This resulted in his inability to find someone to treat his seriously ill father.

Though his circumstances had other factors, if his own strength had been great enough, wouldn’t he have been able to find someone willing to help?

Wang Chen had entered Taiwu Mountain to cultivate, aiming for the Great Supreme Realm.

Once he reached the ultimate peak of this realm, even if he ultimately couldn’t find the Mysterious Fox Order, he still held hope for returning to the Haotian Realm.

Elder Yao was reminding Wang Chen not to let mundane things and matters shackle him, cloud his path of enlightenment, and ultimately stop his progress at the Entry Tao Realm.

However, Wang Chen replied with a mysterious glint in his eyes, “Elder, I don’t believe that detachment from the world is necessarily the true path to the Great Supreme!”

During this period, while he tilled the soil and weeded the fields, he constantly exchanged experiences on cultivation with Elder Yao.

Elder Yao had been reincarnated twelve times, and each life stopped at the Entry Tao Realm. Although a thousand years had passed without ascending to the Great Supreme, the experience accumulated was indeed terrifying.

Wang Chen benefited greatly from his exchanges with the elder.

But Wang Chen did not confine himself to the cultivation techniques and experiences taught by Elder Yao. He also didn’t believe that the “Great Supreme’s Detachment” revered by cultivators in this realm was the only true path.

Great Supreme, Great Supreme—in the absence of anyone reaching this state, how could one be certain of the path?

Most crucially, when Wang Chen had first entered Green Cloud Palace, he had treated a sick girl on his way up the mountain.

It was a mere act of convenience at the time but had triggered a hint of spiritual thought from the unknown.

And it was this hint of spiritual thought that perfectly integrated with his own Daoist thoughts.

Today, when Wang Chen lifted the curse afflicting Father Mo, he once again sensed the same spiritual thought.

After returning to the Hidden Cottage, Wang Chen shared all his thoughts and reflections with Elder Yao.

Following this, Elder Yao fell into a long silence.
