The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 463 Peach Pickers Are Coming
"You have to get used to this outcome. When your strength becomes too great, even though your resistance to evil winds hasn't increased, you should actually add invisibility passive resistance."

"Of course, we still have to retract our previous judgment. You need to stay in the evil wind environment for at least three hours before your defenses are completely breached. Alternatively, you can continue to slowly simmer like a frog in water. The choice is up to you."

-

Alright, this time, Wang Wu listened to the advice.

He once again sneaked into the environment of the evil wind outside and stayed there obediently for three hours. This time, things really got out of hand. After being eroded by the evil wind for a long time, the evil wind bone plague accumulated to the ninth stage of evolution.

All three lines of defense—innate and acquired—were breached.

Whether it's a first-grade demon core or a Creation Fire Spirit Pill, no one can escape it, and no one has the courage to stand up. They surrender completely, and all is in mourning.

Wang Wu managed to return to his three-proof armor, but shortly after, he temporarily lost his ability to move.

With blood and qi unable to circulate and spiritual energy unable to move, the three foundation-building formations were temporarily paralyzed.

All he has left is the ability to think, and the ability to use the pale fire to save the market.

As expected, these are indeed the Three Calamities that even the Taiyi True Immortal fears.

On the very first day, Wang Wu's lifespan was forcibly consumed by 5000 years, his maximum health and stamina were reduced by 50 points, and his basic agility, basic strength, and basic defense were permanently reduced by 1000 points.

shocking!

But I can still hold on.

The situation did not improve by the next day, but only 1000 years of lifespan had been consumed, and only 100,000 points of health and stamina had been permanently lost. However, 500 points of basic agility, basic strength, and basic defense had been permanently lost.

On the third day, Wang Wu's Heart of the Earth recovered first, followed by the Creation Fire Spirit Pill. The seventh-level Creation Fire Spirit Qi launched a counterattack, along with the Wind Spirit Pill, the Lesser Wood Spirit Pill, the Lesser Ice Spirit Pill, the Lesser Gold Spirit Pill, and the Greatest Covenant Pill.

It's hard to believe that, despite the enormous loss, these five unevenly shaped acquired elixirs have somehow become different.

This is completely different from the invasion of the Cold-Weather Bird. To put it another way, Wang Wu hasn't had time to investigate yet, because his spiritual perception ability is also paralyzed.

To put it simply, the invasion of the Siberian pheasant represents racial conflict, while the plague represents class conflict.

After the acquired system launched its counterattack, the five innate demon pills also began to slowly operate.

These five demon cores were the most severely damaged parts, bearing almost 70% of the damage from the evil wind and bone plague, which was determined by their characteristics.

Because the demon core is innate flesh and blood, it is actually consistent with the physical body.

The Evil Wind Bone Plague requires breaking through the second Foundation Building Formation first, then the first Foundation Building Formation, and finally the Acquired Foundation Building Formation.

Without breaking through the innate system, one cannot even reach the acquired system.

Therefore, these five demon cores suffered the most severe injuries. This was no longer a matter of hidden injuries. The same injuries would have been enough to cause the Acquired Creation Fire Spirit Pill to collapse several times over, or even shatter and be destroyed.

But that's the characteristic of the five demon cores: high HP, high defense, strong self-healing ability, and strong regeneration ability. As long as they are not killed on the spot, they can gradually revive with full HP.

Wang Wu's ability to increase his resistance to the Three Calamities largely relies on the Five Demon Pills.

This is probably why many human Taiyi True Immortals don't want to improve their resistance to the Three Calamities; they are inherently much weaker.

This recovery and self-healing process is very long.

It took Wang Wu three whole months to fully recover.

The five demon cores recovered completely and were lively again, but all the spirit cores were left with hidden injuries and would require a long period of repair.

Of course, none of this matters.

The key point is that the effect is excellent.

"You absorbed a large amount of evil wind in an almost heinous way, which eventually triggered the ninth stage of the evil wind bone plague. You can be called a master of courting death."

"However, thanks to your profound knowledge and experience, you eventually weathered the storm and reaped unimaginable rewards."

"Your lifespan has been reduced by a total of eight thousand years, and you currently have 15740 years remaining."

"Your health and stamina have been permanently reduced by 800,000 points, leaving you with 1,200,000 points."

"Your base strength, base agility, and base defense have been permanently reduced by 2000 points, leaving you with 3000 points."

"You have obtained a wisp of evil wind, which is currently stored in the Wind Spirit Pill. This may change the quality of the wind spirit energy."

"Your resistance to evil winds has increased by 4000 points, currently at 9011/10000."

"Based on your current resistance to evil winds, you can remain unaffected in a level 7 evil wind environment for 36 hours before your resistance is broken."

"However, considering your current overall strength and the Pale Flame you control, as long as you take the initiative to fight back, you can stay unharmed in the level seven evil wind environment for at least 108 hours before your resistance is broken."

"My advice is that after this battle, all your elixirs have suffered many hidden injuries. You should repair them all before trying to increase your Yin Fire resistance. Elixirs are not like demon elixirs; once they have hidden injuries, you should repair them as soon as possible."

"In addition, considering your current Yin Fire resistance of 9991 points, you need to be prepared to be hit hard. It is possible that no matter how hard you try, you will only be able to reach 9999 points of resistance in the end."

-

Wang Wu couldn't refute the Four Clowns' analysis, because it was indeed very likely true. It was a real trap.

Next, Wang Wu readily accepted the advice and spent twenty years repairing the hidden injuries of the elixir one by one, raising his danger perception to level 27, and cultivating the Water Spirit Pill, Wood Spirit Pill, and Metal Spirit Pill in the second Foundation Establishment Formation to the second grade.

At the same time, the construction speed of the Heaven and Earth Needles will be accelerated, from one every two years to one every year.

Because the other engineering teams are speeding up.

The main reason is that once the number of Heaven and Earth Needles exceeded a certain limit, the rampage of the Three Calamities stabilized.

The level of the evil wind has now been maintained at level six as a normal occurrence.

One might not encounter a single instance of Yang Lei for more than ten days, and Yin Huo is even rarer.

The fluctuations of Yin and Yang energies have become one-third more stable than before.

This is why Wang Wu, the grandmaster of formations, began to become less important.

In recent explorations of several Heaven and Earth Needles, the location selected by Feng Muhan using the Heaven and Earth Compass was surprisingly less than ten miles away from the location selected by Wang Wu.

The biggest change came from the cost of the Heaven and Earth Needles.

When the Three Calamities were at their worst, the construction of a single Heaven and Earth Needle required one trillion points of spiritual energy.

But now, even without Wang Wu's help, Feng Muhan and Bai Yu can save 200 billion by building the Heaven and Earth Needle themselves.

Including Wang Wu, a single Heaven and Earth Needle can currently save 600 billion points of spiritual energy.

Under these circumstances, Wang Wu, who could originally embezzle and misappropriate 200 million spiritual energy points annually, can now only receive 50 million spiritual energy points per year.

The three-proof armor has changed from needing maintenance every three days to needing maintenance every three months.

This change is remarkable and welcome, but it also means that the peaches are ripening.

Many factions within the Hidden Origin Society were clearly stirring, and even Wang Wu, who usually secluded himself and kept a low profile, sensed it.

However, this is precisely the opportunity he needs to wait for.

He couldn't get his hands on the Heavenly Compass; Feng Muhan was too cautious, and he couldn't just snatch it.

Therefore, the only way is for the Yin and Yang energies to stabilize and for the situation of the three calamities to improve. When others can use the Heaven and Earth Compass to find the exact location, it means that he can do the same thing without the Heaven and Earth Compass, relying on his level 19 spiritual essence.

What's even better is that by then, because his importance will have greatly decreased, Feng Muhan will no longer be his shadow.

Sure enough, the time was ripe.

After the seventy-fifth Heavenly Needle was completed quickly and efficiently, saving an unprecedented 650 billion spiritual energy, Feng Muhan said to Wang Wu, "Senior, you have worked hard all these years. The entire Frost Domain will never forget your contributions. However, now that the Yin and Yang energies are becoming more stable and the Three Calamities are weakening, we dare not trouble you with exploration and construction. If you are willing, I am happy to send you off on a chosen day."

"Oh, this is your master's intention?"

Wang Wu was very curious.

"Of course not, please don't take it to heart, senior. It's just that the situation has been a bit tense lately, and some people are about to make their move. Senior is an old friend of my master and a distinguished guest of my Frost Domain. I can't let you get involved in this mess. If you are injured because of this, I will be even more responsible."

"The situation has deteriorated to this extent? Isn't the Hidden Origin Society known for its neutrality and friendliness? Why has it become so chaotic internally?" Wang Wu feigned surprise.

"Because of profit! This is a Zhenyuan Tower that's about to be completed. Who would be willing to give it up? To be honest, my master will be sending people over again soon. No matter what, we must protect our interests—"

"Sure, I have no objections."

Wang Wu readily accepted good advice. That's great! The sycophant finally left on his own. Who knows what kind of life he's been living for the past eighty-six years?

Feng Muhan left on his own, carrying the Heaven and Earth Compass. The results he has obtained through exploration are now comparable to those of Wang Wu.

Inside the main fortress, Bai Yu was also drinking with Wu Qianyan with a relaxed expression. The prisoners were all staying obediently, meditating and regulating their breathing. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy of the three-defense main fortress had also been reduced.

Even Wang Wu couldn't extract a single trace of spiritual energy, let alone them.

Feng Muhan is really ruthless and stingy.

But just as Wang Wu was preparing to act silently, Feng Muhan returned covered in blood, his three-defense armor shattered, and he fainted on the spot after entering the room.

What's going on? He went out and came back in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

And he was able to beat Feng Muhan, a fifth-level Taiyi cultivator, to this extent!

This situation is not good.

"Third Senior Brother!"

Bai Yu rushed forward, feeding him spirit pills and pleading for help, busying himself with all sorts of things.

The prisoners glanced up, then closed their eyes to rest. They couldn't afford to mess with gods fighting; they could just watch the show.

At this moment, Wang Wu stepped forward and searched Feng Muhan's body. He immediately realized that the Heaven and Earth Compass had been stolen!
The opponent is indeed cunning, having stolen the Heaven and Earth Compass. Without the ability to build enough Heaven and Earth Needles within the time limit, how can they expect to have a good outcome?
