The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 422 Tragedy! It turns out I was the spy all along.

Wang Wu has gone into seclusion.

And it's a full ten years!

Because he needs to learn and comprehend the deployment of the Five Aggregates Breaking the Solid Formation and the Five Aggregates Iron Prison Formation.

Although Bai Yu said these two foundation-building formations were insignificant, their complexity was actually ten times greater than that of the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

Wang Wuguang memorized everything on the spot, which took quite a bit of effort. He was also fortunate to have level 18 spiritual energy; otherwise, he could only memorize one at most.

For the past ten years, he has put everything aside, ignored everything, and even neglected the greatest confidant, Gongdan.

They couldn't even bother releasing the four clowns, and of course, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, as they were just fake primordial spirits and couldn't keep up with the pace.

"This is truly exquisite! And this is only a second-tier Foundation Establishment formation; it's unimaginable how complex a third-tier Foundation Establishment formation would be!"

Wang Wu was filled with emotion, but in reality he was quite content. Many rogue cultivators never even obtained a first-order Foundation Establishment array in their entire lives.

Snake Nineteen and his group are very strong, yet they don't even know the purpose of the Foundation Establishment Formation. This gap is not just a matter of losing at the starting line; it's a gap that started eighteen generations ago.

Those immortals have lifespans of tens of thousands of years; how powerful is this class monopoly?

It's no wonder that in the cultivation world outside, there aren't many boundaries or barriers between demons and humans.

There is no such thing as a war between ethnic groups.

Because both humans and demons have their own top-tier classes that always occupy their ecological niches; they set the rules and enforce them.

Everyone else, whether you're human or demon, is just a beast of burden.

As the saying goes, kinship is determined by social class!

"The Five Elements Iron Prison Formation can be deployed on the Five Innate Demon Cores, while the Five Elements Breaking Formation can be deployed on the Five Acquired Spirit Cores. One for offense and one for defense, quite suitable!"

"But should I continue to break that blood curse?"

Wang Wu pondered, because according to Shuang Jun, the Blood Curse Heavenly Punishment was related to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, so it was difficult for Gray Elder's level 27 divine calculation to predict it.

This is a pretty good buff!
It can prevent malicious speculation.

Most importantly, if the current blood curse is broken, the high priest of the Mangshan Ancient Bear clan will still apply the blood curse to him again if he gets the chance.

It seems the Blood Curse and Heavenly Punishment will become increasingly powerful.

For example, he is currently just a minor Earth Immortal, and the Blood Curse Heavenly Punishment might be the most basic version of the worst.

If he can break it once, then the next version of the Blood Curse might be an enhanced version.

In short, this is not good.

"In that case, let's maintain the status quo for now, because it's already a bit difficult to continue strengthening the Five Demon Pills of the Innate Bloodline, as there's too little spiritual energy."

Wang Wu had to accept reality; as his strength increased, the difficulty of advancing further was far too great.

This time, it was all thanks to those five Silent Birds. Speaking of which, I don't know how they came up with those Silent Birds. Each one can replenish about 50 million points of spiritual energy, and it seems that they also have other very precious sources of power.

Wang Wu's five demon cores advanced entirely by devouring and absorbing those two Frostbirds.

Therefore, it's better to focus all your energy on acquired elixirs, bypassing the blood curse, while still benefiting from its buffs and extracting its remaining value...

Of course, this doesn't mean we can't catch Siberian pheasants anymore; they are actually a very efficient and high-quality energy source!
"Hmm, it seems like it's already the Great Cold solar term!"

Wang Wu's eyes lit up, and he instantly teleported to the city wall. He remembered that the outer city wall was densely covered with cold-weather insects, and occasionally a group of, well, a few cold-weather birds would fly around in the sky.

If we catch a few and take them home, wouldn't all our problems be solved?
Wait, holy crap, what's going on?!
Wang Wu's eyes widened in astonishment. Even his level 18 spiritual essence had been activated because the outside world was calm and peaceful. Sparse, cold, and vast air hung in the sky, through which one could even see distant mountains and the earth.

There are no cold-weather insects, let alone cold-weather birds!

Is the Great Cold solar term coming to an end?

impossible!

The timing is perfect.

Looking back at Dragon Head City, Wang Wu saw that the mortals and cultivators were all beaming with joy, and everything had returned to normal.

Even the flowers, grasses, and trees that had withered in the city have regrown and bloomed, creating a lush green landscape.

what happened?
Wang Wu quickly left the city and teleported 100,000 miles away in one breath. Huh, even the Hidden Origin Bell has returned to normal and is no longer restricting things. It seems that Bai Yu has given up on treatment and has given up.

So Wang Wu teleported back and found Snake Nineteen, who was stunned when he saw him.

"No, little bear, what has happened to you all these years? You seem to have turned into a consumptive monster. Look at how weak you are, unable to take any supplements. Oh dear, what a tragedy!"

"Stop nagging. I'm asking you, where's the freezing cold outside? Isn't it the Great Cold solar term now?"

Wang Wu asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, according to past patterns, it is indeed the Great Cold solar term now. However, since ten years ago, the cold air in Cangming has been decreasing. Now, the Hidden Origin Jade Talisman no longer reports the level of cold air, because it doesn't even qualify as level one. Any mortal who is brave enough can leave the city. Wait, what happened?"

Snake Nineteen looked completely bewildered. But Wang Wu was in no mood to explain to it. Oh no, oh no, oh no, the free lunch was over.

"Hey, it's nothing, let's continue, everything as usual, from now on Dragon Head City is our home."

"No, what happened? You look a little off."

"If something's not right, that's it. Do whatever you want. Don't have too many ambitions or aspirations in the future. Just stay in Dragon Head City as a Hidden Origin Steward, understand?"

Wang Wu deliberately added a few more words, because important things should be said three times.

Although he didn't know, it didn't mean he didn't understand. Snake Nineteen still had ambitions, which was understandable. However, the waters of the cultivation world were just too deep.

Instead of struggling in vain, it's better to stay under the protection of the Hidden Yuan Society and live a quiet life.

Anyway, Wang Wu has no grand ambitions or lofty aspirations now. He's too lazy to even go and ask the Mangshan Ancient Bear Clan for clarification or seek justice.

no point.

Let's wait until we reach the Taiyi True Immortal realm before discussing anything else.

"What's wrong with you? You're talking strangely. What ambition and aspirations? Aren't we following your lead now?" Snake Nineteen asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just some feelings. Okay, you take care of things outside. Just let me know if you need anything."

After saying that, Wang Wu teleported back to his cave dwelling inside the Hidden Origin Bell. He didn't even want to go to Madam Yu's place anymore, and forgot about everything.

"Calm down. I can now review the whole incident from a higher level and a broader perspective."

Wang Wu sat down cross-legged, because now there were too many doubts.

For example, it caused Bai Yu to break through his defenses, and even alerted Gray Elder, Black Emperor, and Frost Lord's enemy spies.

For example, even though it's the Lesser Cold solar term, the Cangming region is extremely cold.

It's the unusual event that, despite it being the coldest time of winter, the outside world is only missing the bright sunshine of spring.

For example, why did Frost Lord keep testing him, even after Black Emperor had already examined his Five Demon Pills and Five Spirit Pills, and even went so far as to drug him in an attempt to trick him into revealing his secrets?

All of this seems to point to him being the spy in that hostile spy incident.

But is he a spy?

Of course not. He did nothing, didn't contact anyone, and from head to toe, he only caught eight Siberian pheasants!

Yes, the Siberian Harrow!
This thing, which Bai Yu initially described as being like a grasshopper or a rat, completely misled him.

He himself had overlooked the preciousness of this thing.

Is the Siberian Wren rare?

Isn't it precious?

It must be something extraordinary to be able to so easily erase so much of the blood curse cast by the mighty ancient bear shaman of Mangshan, a blood curse that even Elder Hui was helpless against.
And think about it again, the precious material that Bai Yu was refining for his master, Shuang Jun, might actually require the Cold-Calling Bird.

"Actually, there aren't many cold-weather birds; there are many cold-weather insects!"

Wang Wu recalled carefully.

Yes, there were so many frost-weather insects. They wriggled and clung to the city walls. Occasionally, some would be swept into the air by the strong winds, as if they were dancing. Sometimes they were even mistaken for frost-weather birds.

But real Siberian jays seem to be very rare, and every time he appears, he is targeted by these Siberian jays.

"So no way, just because I got eight Siberian Wrens, it caused such a huge conflict? The traitor was actually myself!"

When Wang Wu finally came to this conclusion, he was completely stunned.

Then I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he immediately realized that although he was now free of suspicion, if he made even the slightest mistake in the future, the truth that he was a spy would be revealed immediately.

"This is terrible! Luckily, I managed to create the Greatest Agreement Pill, which allowed me to escape this calamity by sheer luck. No, it might not be a calamity, because if it's confirmed that I was the one who did it, Elder Gray will definitely protect me. But in that case, I will completely offend Frost Lord's camp, and all my secrets will be exposed. Although, that doesn't seem so bad either. I can learn both martial arts and literature and sell them to the imperial family!"

"Unfortunately, there's no chance now. Even if I find Elder Gray and tell him the truth, it will be meaningless. He will only think that I am playing a trick on him. Besides, the rift has already formed, so there's no point in saying more. Let's just go with the flow."

"But from now on, I'll only be able to use the Blood Curse and the Greatest Covenant Pill to conceal my identity. If I want to do anything exciting again, I'll have to change my account."

"Wang Zhige should just stay in Dragon Head City and be a comfortable, marginal nobody."

Thinking of this, Wang Wu smiled silently, feeling alright.

"Then, shall we first deploy a Five Elements Breaking Formation?"

Wang Wu's heart was burning with excitement, but he quickly calmed down. He needed to repair all the hidden injuries on the Five Spirit Pills first. Over the past ten years, he had been studying the two Foundation Establishment Formations day and night, which had caused the quality of the five spirit pills to decline and his lifespan to be shortened by several hundred years.

Therefore, we can't delay any longer.
