The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 409 Silent Assault
A day later, Wang Wu left Madam Yu's cave dwelling, almost reluctant to leave, because it was so much fun—oh, he was referring to that game that simulated the Three Realms Array.

I don't know which fairy sister developed it, but it's so much fun.

Therefore, Wang Wu eventually created a new account, becoming the fourth player. It started with fifty households in a small village, which felt incredibly realistic!
But he didn't have time to play, so he asked Madam Yu for help. This old woman may seem lazy and clumsy, but she actually has a talent for playing games.

Oh well, let her be!

Next, Wang Wu used the jade talisman to visit the Hidden Origin Society's Pukuli, where he purchased a large quantity of Xuan Iron, spiritual liquid, and spiritual pills using the Five Elements of the Human World, leaving only 50,000 strands of the Five Elements of the Human World as a reserve.

These supplies can be used to cope with the coldest and most severe cold seasons. Not only can he use them, but his beloved relatives and friends also need them, even though they have actually made a lot of money in the past eight years.

Even the lowest-ranking members are sixth-grade stewards of the Hidden Origin Society, with an average personal asset of at least 500,000 spiritual energy points.

But these are, after all, the twenty-four solar terms, which even immortals treat with great urgency.

Have to guard against it.

Thus, Wang Wu personally met with Kong Zhengyi, She Guangming, She Mulin, and Kong Youhao to offer his condolences and greetings. Then he met with Xiong Shiliu, Yuan Bupo, Lao Niu, Lao Zhu, and Teng Zhongwu, making sure each and every one of them felt the warmth and care of their leader.

And so it dragged on, until the third day, when the first wave of Cangming's chilling air was about to blow over, that Wang Wu finally went to pay his respects to the person in charge whom he had only met once before.

Eight years had passed, and everyone was still the same, except that the person in charge had changed his clothes, put on a new pair of boots, and was wearing a bearskin cloak.

With his dashing and heroic appearance, coupled with his slightly melancholic eyes, one has to admit that his charm at level 26 is simply inhuman.

"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency."

Wang Wu greeted them respectfully, without a trace of arrogance.

"I need the patrol team you've assembled. It can't just be you alone, can it?"

"Reporting to the Lord, one of my men is sufficient!"

To be honest, the only thing he could offer was Snake Nineteen, but it was currently in seclusion.

"It's up to you, as long as you don't mess things up. Remember, starting tomorrow and ending in fifteen days, I will be in charge of patrolling, and you can follow along to learn some experience so that you won't be flustered when you patrol on your own. My requirements are simple: the walls of Dragon Head City cannot be damaged. If any damage occurs, don't worry, I will immediately send your loved ones to patch the holes."

The official in charge didn't even glance at Wang Wu, seemingly deep in thought about something important.

"Here!"

What could Wang Wu say? After bowing, he was about to take his leave when suddenly a thought struck him. He noticed that the official in charge also frowned and looked into a void.

The next second, a blue light flashed, and it was Wang Wu's senior sister in yellow who arrived.

She was still so radiant and charming, still so kind, and her smile was so sweet. It seemed as if the whole world became brighter because of her presence.

Even the person in charge gave a somewhat stiff smile.

"So it's Senior Sister Qin. She dares to run around at this time. She is indeed highly skilled and daring. I admire her."

"Thank you for still addressing me as Senior Sister. You stole my Junior Brother's position as the head of the branch altar and took all the benefits from him. Such shamelessness is truly the most I've ever seen in my life!"

The senior sister in yellow sneered, showing no respect whatsoever.

"Senior Sister Qin, is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Humph!"

Rolling her eyes wide, the yellow-robed senior sister grabbed Wang Wu and left. The next second, they arrived on the city wall of Dragon Head City, where they could already feel a strange, cold air current blowing.

Further away in the sky, several snow-white clouds clung to the heavens like ribbonfish, creating a very eerie scene.

"The Cangming Cold Qi is coming soon. Your master is a little worried about you, so he sent me to check on you. You must have been bullied by that Bai fellow quite a bit these past few years, right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master and Senior Sister. I'm fine. If I can't afford to offend you, I can at least avoid you. I went into seclusion for eight years and only came out a few days ago."

Wang Wu bowed respectfully and thanked them, feeling truly grateful for the care shown to him.

Hearing this, Senior Sister Qin smiled, looked Wang Wu up and down for a moment, and then said, "Actually, under normal circumstances, the coldest days of winter are nothing to worry about. With the Hidden Origin Bell around, there shouldn't be any problems. But this time, it seems that Bai Yu is going to refine a material for his master, Frost Lord. This material needs to be constantly tempered by the Cangming Cold Qi, which will undoubtedly consume a huge amount of the Hidden Origin Bell's protective capacity. If things go wrong, it could even lead to disastrous consequences."

"Actually, I don't know why, since Master accepted you as a disciple, he didn't bring you back to headquarters and let you go into seclusion for over a thousand years to advance to the Taiyi True Immortal level before doing anything else?"

"But Master must have his reasons for making this arrangement, and I hope you can understand."

"Also, here are one hundred Dragon Blood Pills. After taking them, they can greatly increase the speed of blood circulation and have a good effect on resisting the erosion of the Cangming Cold Qi. You can take them with peace of mind. Don't be foolish and try to tough it out. The Cangming Cold Qi can damage the foundation of your cultivation."

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!" Wang Wu accepted the gift with great gratitude.

"Alright, we're family, no need to be so polite. I'll need your help sometime in the future. Without working together and taking care of each other, the path of cultivation won't be so easy."

Senior Sister Qin seemed to have thought of something, and she sighed with emotion.

"I'll come see you again after this solar term. Then I'll take you to visit my fourth senior brother. You don't know this yet, do you? My fourth senior brother is in charge of the Azure Dragon Immortal Alliance and the branch of the Hidden Origin Society there. But he's too busy. Otherwise, I'd like to see you too."

"I see. So you don't seem busy, Senior Sister," Wang Wu asked curiously.

“I don’t have any official duties, so of course I’m not busy. But speaking of which, I should have been in charge of the branch altar of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Alliance this time. My senior brother had already arranged everything for me. But after Master came out of seclusion, he made me resign. He insisted that my cultivation foundation was not solid enough and that I needed to go into seclusion again. He also said that I should learn more from you.” “Junior brother, tell me, what is there about you that I can learn from?”

Senior Sister Qin was very annoyed and seemed quite resentful.

Wang Wu suddenly realized, "So you're the one who got slaughtered!"

I'll be awesome three hundred years from now!
"How could that be? I should be the one learning from my senior sister!"

"Alright, enough with the pretense! I'm leaving, junior brother, take care!"

Senior Sister Qin came and went in a hurry.

Wang Wu stood there for a long time, thinking, before finally giving the four clowns a question.

"Suppose there is a level 27 divine power that can predict the fates of people related to me over the next 500 years, and I am unfortunately affected by it, how can I avoid being predicted, or at least minimize the impact?"

The four clowns remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Grandpa Tree's Information Database: Are you sure the other party isn't trying to scam you?"

"Bear Clan Information Database: How could a level 27 diviner possibly exist in this world? If he does, I'm doomed. I think I know how the Five Poisons died."

"Peacock Family Information Database: There's really no solution. I advise you to be an obedient dog. At least so far, all the information shows that they've treated you well. Don't cause any trouble and mess things up. Think about what you have that would make them want to scheme against you. The most likely, and simplest, truth is that they think you have great potential and are trying to win you over in advance."

"Attribute information: The Cangming Cold Qi is coming soon. What you should be thinking about is how to avoid being dragged down by that Bai Yu manager? He seems to be planning something big."

-

Well, it's quite surprising. The Four Clowns' answers are getting better and better, and they're finally starting to be somewhat reliable.

Indeed, overthinking is pointless.

Just then, a chill suddenly rose from his heart again, as if a crystal-clear white flower had bloomed in the heart of his earth.

Then it shattered with a bang.

It was beautiful, but also incredibly tragic.

At that moment, Wang Wu's Heart of the Earth shattered into dozens of fragments, scattered in pieces.

At the same time, his health points were forcibly reduced by 50,000.

With a muffled groan, Wang Wu cried out in alarm. His level 20 self-healing talent activated instantly, and he teleported back to his cave within the Hidden Origin Bell, still feeling terrified.

what happened?

Why is the Hidden Origin Bell no longer providing him with protection?
Five seconds later, Wang Wu's Heart of the Earth was restored to its original state, and his health was fully restored.

He hurriedly checked the Hidden Origin Jade Talisman, only to find that five seconds earlier, the instant he was attacked by the Cangming Cold Qi, three new messages had appeared on the talisman.

"Based on the content of the recent motion No. 21, Bai Yu, the head of the Dragon Head City branch, has adjusted the autonomous defense activation mechanism of the Hidden Origin Bell. The Hidden Origin Bell will no longer provide defense on its own initiative. If you need the Hidden Origin Bell to provide defense, you must apply in advance."

"Bai Yu, the head of the Dragon Head City branch, has an urgent matter to attend to. He has specially ordered your patrol team to take over the patrol ahead of schedule for fifteen days."

"Bai Yu, the head of the Dragon Head City branch, has applied for a subsidy for you. You have obtained a Heart of Ice. Friendly reminder: the Heart of Ice can purify and refine your bloodline slightly."

-

These three pieces of information seem perfectly reasonable; in fact, under normal circumstances, Wang Wu would likely have said thank you.

However, the moment the first wave of Cangming's chill arrived, it was practically murder.

At this point, the four clowns finally managed to compile the relevant information.

"You have received an incomprehensible bloodline blessing that has frozen your heart of the earth, which may bring unexpected benefits."

"It seems you have been attacked by the chilling aura of the Azure Sea. This special power has reacted violently with your frozen heart of the earth, causing it to explode from within. You have suffered severe injuries!"

"Your Earthheart suffered a peak damage of up to 300 million points in that instant!"

"Your innate Five Elements Spiritual Array absorbed 185 million points of damage and incorporated them into the Five Elements Spiritual Array's flood storage area."

"Your acquired Five Elements Spiritual Array absorbed 110 million points of damage and incorporated it into the Five Elements Spiritual Array's flood storage area."

"You need to resolve these damages within twelve hours, otherwise they will still damage your cultivation foundation and cause fatal harm to you."

"Your Earthheart has taken 50,000 points of damage."

"Your Heart of the Earth is absorbing that frozen power. This process is somewhat difficult to understand, but there is no doubt that this power has changed with a small amount of Cangming Cold Qi. It is rapidly altering the evolution of your bloodline."

"Your bloodline evolution level +0.5%, currently at 65% (60% already used)."

"Warning: There is still an undefined power remaining in the Heart of the Earth. You need to hurry up and break through and transform it, otherwise it will cause permanent damage to your Heart of the Earth."
