The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 321 The Third Stage of the Evil Wind and Bone Plague
"External incarnation?"

Wang Wu's eyes lit up. This was exactly what he had vaguely thought of before. These four cobblers were indeed somewhat useful.

Right then and there, he plucked ten bear hairs in one go. He had to do it now, otherwise, after fighting the Evil Wind Bone Plague for a while, the base attributes would drop, and the quality of these bear hairs would also drop.

In fact, these eleven bear hairs are all of different qualities.

The first one is of the highest quality and can get a perfect score of 100. Even Grandpa Tree praised it as a top-grade bloodline treasure.

Then the second one can only get 99.9 points.

It doesn't matter where the bear hair is plucked—the head, back, chest, lower limbs… it's all the same. If you pluck one hair, his Qi and blood will automatically decrease by 10,000 points, and his life points will also decrease by 1000 points.

So, as if there's a balance, the eleventh bear hair only has a quality score of 99.

He left a single bear hair in the Xuan Tie Hut, and put the rest into his storage bag. He could refine it into a primordial magic weapon sometime in the future—or rather, explore whether he could refine a magic weapon similar to an external avatar…

As for what comes next, the most important thing is of course to continue farming the Shadow Wind Plague.

Emerging from the ground, Wang Wu immediately sensed an indescribable pressure brought by the heavenly tribulation. It was truly terrifying. He dared not be negligent and immediately began to run at a steady pace and circle around. This operation was quite difficult because the sand dunes on the surface of the Evil Wind Desert would move randomly. Fortunately, he could locate his own bear hair.

When the three days were up, he was successfully infected with the Evil Wind Bone Plague. He immediately burrowed underground and returned to the Xuan Iron Hut to begin a half-month ordeal.

While Wang Wu was struggling to resist the evil wind, at least 300,000 miles away in the depths of the North Sea, on an inconspicuous reef, a tiny snake less than a millimeter in size was raising its head to sense the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After a long while, it suddenly chuckled strangely and said to a small turtle the size of a grain of rice next to it, "Little turtle, my plan is complete. Observing the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the second cloud of heavenly tribulation is forming. It is estimated that in just one hundred years, a second supreme demon race will appear in this Great Wilderness. At that time, I will see how the human race's immortal alliance will jump up and down in despair, hahaha!"

"Your Majesty's strategic planning and three-thousand-year-long scheme are truly awe-inspiring. But I wonder who will ultimately claim the title of 'Emperor'?" The little turtle exclaimed with both admiration and curiosity.

"Hehe, I guess it comes from the Xiong family, but it could also be from one of the other three families. I married off four daughters back then, so there should have been at least four candidates."

"Damn it, the Immortal Alliance is like a pack of mad dogs, relentlessly hunting me down. I had no choice but to flee to the deep sea, which is too far from the Great Wilderness, where the bloodline induction effect is weak. Otherwise, with me secretly controlling it, how could the Immortal Alliance possibly care about me now that four hidden dragons have emerged!"

At this point, the little snake couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air. Bloodline induction wasn't always reliable. For example, last time, when it released bloodline induction, it somehow ended up capsizing in a deep ditch.

That Xiong family's bloodline dragon was very disobedient, but fortunately, the other three bloodline dragons were all quite good.

"Little turtle, I need to perform another divination. May I borrow your turtle shell?"

"Your Majesty, isn't this too frequent? It increases the chances of being detected by the Heavenly Tribulation! In addition, the Human Immortal Alliance is also constantly monitoring and detecting us with the Heavenly Evolution Array, and has laid a net of heaven and earth in the North Sea, which is why we were able to escape. And Your Majesty, you have not yet fully adapted to the Three Calamities..."

The little turtle offered a gentle suggestion.

“Turtle boy, you don’t understand. There are many truths that I cannot tell you. It’s a pity that you don’t understand the Five Elements Spirit Array well enough. Otherwise, if you could deploy the Five Elements Spirit Array in your body and activate the internal and external circulation to make the pure Qi of the spiritual platform appear, you would know that I must fight for that sliver of life.”

"But this glimmer of hope does not lie with me, but with the four hidden dragons that I plotted and laid out thousands of years ago. I even sacrificed my four daughters for this day. I want to know, even if it means death, what the ultimate truth is."

"Hehehe, my dragon clan has three hundred divine dragons, and their dragon blood has been flowing for ten thousand years. Now it is almost dry. I am looking forward to seeing who will fill this hole after the dragon blood runs dry. Will it be the human race, the demon race, or that little tree spirit? Someone has to fill the hole."

"Mending holes, mending the sky, mending the sky with the five aggregates! Hehehe!"

The little snake let out a strange laugh, extremely desolate, but even more frenzied.

-

Deep in the Evil Wind Desert, Wang Wu has already begun the third round of the battle against the Evil Wind Bone Plague.

After the first two rounds of attempts, he is now able to stabilize the damage caused by the Evil Wind Plague, which is to lose three months of lifespan, 10 points of health, 10 points of stamina, agility, strength, and defense by 1, but increase his resistance to Evil Wind by 10.
It's like a deal that's expensive, but very worthwhile.

His plan is to spend fifty years on it first.

There are twelve cycles per year, and each cycle consumes three months of permanent lifespan, so the total amount consumed is only 150 years.

However, his health and stamina will drop by 6000 points, leaving him with only 19250 points, which is just within the safe range.

You can reduce your base agility, base strength, and base defense by 600 points, leaving you with only 227 points. That's not just safe, it's incredibly safe!

However, his bloodline supernatural powers, his innate and acquired abilities, his Taoist supernatural powers, his natal demon weapon, and his natal flying sword will not be weakened in the slightest.

At the same time, he can also boost his resistance to evil winds to 6000 points in one go.

I'm so happy and excited!
Oh, the only impact on him then will be that he won't be able to cultivate the Five Elements Golden Body because his basic attributes won't be high enough.

Hahaha!
For a time, Wang Wu was filled with hope for the future.

As for changes in the outside world, what does that have to do with him?

So he didn't notice that as time passed, the spiritual energy that fell every morning began to decrease slowly. Although the speed was very slow and hard to detect, the cumulative effect was still quite significant.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Wang Wu was once again seized by a sudden impulse. He suddenly had an idea to go back to the Southern Wilderness, but before this idea could be put into practice, he rejected it.

There are no doors!

Over the past decade, Wang Wu has thrived in the Evil Wind Desert.

He has now accumulated 1250 points of Evil Wind Resistance, so if he wants to contract Evil Wind Resistance again, he would have to wander around the Evil Wind Desert like a headless fly for five days and five nights before he can contract Evil Wind Bone Plague again.

This is somewhat different from his plan.

But it's not a big problem.

Five days is fine!

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed. Wang Wu's resistance to evil winds has accumulated to 2500 points. But now, he needs to wander around the Evil Wind Desert for ten days and ten nights in a row, constantly blowing the evil winds, before he can contract the Evil Wind Bone Plague.

Then, it only takes five days to be completely cured.

Furthermore, the resistance gained begins to decrease, and the resulting penalties also decrease.

This won't do.

After a moment of confusion and disarray, Wang Wu had no choice but to quickly change his plans. He would not go back; he would let the evil wind and bone plague develop freely.

The specific procedure is that once someone is infected with the evil wind and bone plague, they need to immediately avoid being exposed to the evil wind.

Then get cured as soon as possible.

But he didn't shy away from being infected with the evil wind and bone plague. He continued to play music and dance. I am a happy bachelor!

But Wang Wu regretted it just one day after the plan was implemented.

Because if he doesn't immediately avoid the Evil Wind Plague after contracting it, he will be as if he has directly become the Evil Wind Holy Body. The evil winds from all directions in the desert will be like vultures and flies that smell the scent, swooping and burrowing into his bones!

"Warning! You are courting death. Please immediately go underground to avoid the evil wind. Your Evil Wind Plague has entered the second stage, and the evil wind within you is destroying your body!"

"Same as above!"

"same!"

"on!"

Four alarming red messages popped up, and Wang Wu immediately burrowed back underground. This time, he got his wish. The second stage of the evil wind and bone plague tormented him for half a month before he had to recover.

With his resistance right there, plus the Pale Flame he controls providing additional support, what is the mere second stage evolution of the Evil Wind Bone Plague?
Next, Wang Wu would detonate the second stage of the Evil Wind Bone Plague each time. Gradually, the second stage was no longer enough for him, so he simply detonated the third stage of evolution.

At this stage, the amount of evil wind he absorbed each time was ten times that of the first stage.

There's nothing I can do; his resistance to evil winds has already reached 3500 points.

Fortunately, the third stage of the Evil Wind Plague was fierce, powerful, and arrogant enough. Wang Wu spent almost three years grinding it out before he could barely raise his resistance to the Evil Wind to 4000 points.

By this time, the original 50-year plan had long since deviated from its intended course.

Because his maximum health and stamina have dropped to 18000 points.

Basic agility, basic strength, and basic defense have also dropped to 200 points.

He even cut off 800 years of his lifespan, leaving him with only 1010 years left. This includes 500 years of aging, meaning that in another 500 years, he will turn into an old bear!
Hahaha!
Unfortunately, the second stage of the Evil Wind Bone Plague was still within his tolerance range, but the third stage was much more troublesome than he had imagined. Damage to his body was inevitable, and it could even endanger the Five Demon Cores and the Twin Spirit Cores. It was only because he had the Pale Flame to help him, and his resistance was really high, that he was able to avoid the loss of his core.

Of course, Wang Wu was also in a hurry. If he hadn't rushed to increase his resistance, he could have just focused on the first stage of the Evil Wind Bone Plague. Even if it took him fifty years to complete, he could have done it in a hundred or two hundred years.

But who can wait for the heavenly tribulation!
Now, things are much better. With a series of swift and decisive actions, he broke free from the Heavenly Tribulation's lock in just thirty years, and he is now free!
"We can't keep using it. We only have 500 years of prime time left. Let's talk about it later."

Wang Wu is quite rational.

Yes, the main problem is that the third stage of the Evil Wind Bone Plague is too brutal!
It gives the impression that the higher the resistance, the more terrifying the rebound.

That's right, its damage wasn't negated, but rather accumulated, little by little, until it overflowed the dam of resistance, and then suddenly, with a devastating blow, it hit him hard.

This is an evil wind, so eerie!

Wang Wu even doubted whether he would be able to max out his resistance to evil winds in the future.
And so, one morning thirty years later, Wang Wu put away the Xuan Iron Hut and returned to the ground, preparing to go to the West Coast. But just as he poked his head out, he saw a scene that horrified him!
Lu Wuchen has arrived!
He held a strange, indescribable, and incredibly terrifying longsword in both hands.

He stood high in the sky above the Evil Wind Desert, like an immortal descending to earth!
