The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

However, the mysterious old man who had appeared earlier showed a thoughtful expression after hearing about the Seven Souls Controlling the Mind and the name of Donghuang Taiyi.

His gaze fell upon Ru Shuang.

……

The land of Shu Mountain.

The eldest elder of the Shu Mountain clan was extremely kind.

It seemed that because the Shilan tribe of Shushan had always been isolated from the world and had never had guests come here, Jiang Chuan and Zi Nu received an extremely grand welcome. Many people from Shushan even looked at the two of them with great enthusiasm.

Jiang Chuan never imagined that one day he would enjoy the same treatment as the national treasure, the giant panda.

But thinking about it, it's not surprising.

The Shilan people have lived here for a long time. Because of the heavy responsibilities they bear, they have never had contact with the outside world. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that they are very curious about the outside world.

(chaf) When meeting outsiders, they are not very wary.

Perhaps it is for this reason that in the original work, when faced with the Yin-Yang School and the Qin army, they easily fell.

"I heard from Yu Rang that the guest is under a curse and came to my Shu Mountain to seek an abolition of the curse?"

Elder Yu Jun of Shushan asked Jiang Chuan again.

Jiang Chuan nodded and replied frankly, "That's right. I was cursed by the Yin Yang School. Although I managed to temporarily stop the evil curse's erosion using certain methods, it couldn't last long. If I can't find a way to break the curse, I will die soon. I learned by chance that there is a clan called Shi Lan in the Shu Mountain region. They have a long history and are skilled in witchcraft and sorcery. It is said that the Yin Yang School's sorcery originated from them. So I went to great lengths to find this place in order to find a way to break the curse."

Although the Seven Souls Controlling Curse only turns people into puppets, unlike the Six Souls Terror Curse which directly takes a person's life, in Jiang Chuan's view, becoming a puppet is no different from being dead.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Yu Jun's eyes flickered. "The Yin-Yang School? According to our clan's records, several hundred years ago, it seems that a group of people came to Mount Shu and conducted some transactions with our clan."

"These people have learned a lot of incantations from my Shu Mountain. They should be the Yin-Yang School you mentioned."

"Now, after a long period of time, it seems that they have changed somewhat."

Yu Jun sighed, then turned to Jiang Chuan and said, "Guest, there's no need to worry. Just as you said, our Shilan clan is skilled in sorcery. Perhaps we can find a way to lift the curse you've been afflicted with."

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan felt a little relieved, but then asked, "Why is the Grand Elder treating me so well?"

"Is it just because of the divination?"

Yu Jun countered, "Does the guest understand the essence of divination?"

"What is it?" Jiang Chuan asked curiously.

Yu Jun said, "The divination of my Shilan clan is actually guided by the divine tree."

"Today, I sensed something unusual about the divine tree, and my mind was agitated. That's when I performed divination, and the result indicated that a distinguished guest was coming."

"Without a doubt, this is the guidance given to me by the sacred tree. It is the sacred tree that recognizes the guest as an honored guest."

"Our Shilan tribe has worshipped the sacred tree for many years. It is because of the existence of the sacred tree that our Shilan tribe exists."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan understood.

So it turns out that Yu Jun's kind attitude towards him also stemmed from a kind of metaphysics.

Chapter 218 The Method to Break the Curse Seal

Although Jiang Chuan temporarily suppressed the curse mark in his body with the help of Gu magic, strictly speaking, the situation was still very bad.

Therefore, he didn't mind giving it a try with the Grand Elder of Shushan and accepting his kindness.

Afterwards, Elder Yu Jun of Shushan examined the curse seal within Jiang Chuan's body.

Seeing the red markings spreading from Jiang Chuan's chest, and hearing Jiang Chuan explain his method of restraint, Yu Jun said in a deep voice, "The curse mark you are afflicted with is indeed very troublesome. It looks very similar to a curse mark mastered by my Shilan clan, but it is much more powerful. However, I must say, you are very clever. You actually thought of using Gu techniques to plant Gu worms in your body to restrain the power of the curse mark."

"Is there a way to break the curse?" Jiang Chuan asked Yu Jun.

Yu Jun said in a deep voice, "Whether the curse can be broken or not, I need to try."

Jiang Chuan nodded, and then let Yu Jun try it out.

As the Grand Elder of Shushan, Yu Jun is very powerful and proficient in witchcraft and incantations. Among them, witchcraft and sorcery are inseparable. Being good at witchcraft naturally means being good at sorcery. The Shilan clan of Shushan is also a clan that is extremely proficient in sorcery.

Yu Jun easily discerned the principle behind the Gu technique within Jiang Chuan's body. Subsequently, he concocted an even more powerful Gu, intending to use its power to devour the power of the curse seal within Jiang Chuan's body.

Unfortunately, it failed.

Then, another attempt was made to plant a new curse mark in Jiang Chuan's body in order to break the Seven Souls Controlling Heart Curse, but this also failed.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chuan had been in the land of the Shilan tribe for a long time.

During this period of time, Yu Jun has been extremely worried about Jiang Chuan, but no matter how hard he tries, he has not been able to remove the Seven Souls Controlling Curse from Jiang Chuan's body. In fact, because of his actions, the power of the Gu worms and the curse seal in Jiang Chuan's body has become unbalanced, and the Seven Souls Controlling Curse has begun to erode Jiang Chuan's body again.

"Even you can't break the curse seal?"

Zi Nu looked at Yu Jun, whose brows were furrowed, and couldn't help but speak softly.

During this time, she followed Jiang Chuan to Mount Shu and witnessed the methods of the Shilan Clan of Mount Shu. It must be said that as a clan with a long history, the Shilan Clan has many methods, which are quite bizarre. However, even so, despite the Shilan Clan's best efforts, they were unable to remove the Yin-Yang Curse Seal from Jiang Chuan's body.

Zi Nu said those words not because she was worried about Jiang Chuan's safety.

Rather, it was because the troublesome nature of the Yin-Yang Curse Seal made her realize the terrifying power of Donghuang Taiyi.

The crisis brought by Donghuang Taiyi not only loomed over Jiang Chuan, but also over her, like a dark cloud that lingered for a long time.

"No, perhaps there is another way."

Yu Jun said in a deep voice, "With the power of the divine tree, I will purify all the cursed power within your body."

Jiang Chuan and Zi Nu both looked at Yu Jun in surprise.

Yu Jun pondered for a long time before revealing this method.

Although Jiang Chuan is an outsider, the Fusang Divine Tree has already given a sign that Jiang Chuan is a distinguished guest of their clan, or rather, a distinguished guest of the Fusang Divine Tree.

Why would the sacred tree give such a prophecy?

What does Jiangchuan mean to the Shilan people?

In the end, Yu Jun chose to believe the prophecy of the divine tree, because the divine tree was left behind by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. Over the long years, it was because of the protection of the Fusang Divine Tree that the Shilan tribe was able to thrive and continue to this day. Without the divine tree, there would be no Shilan tribe today.

He said to the surprised Jiang Chuan, "You are not a member of our Shilan clan, so you are not qualified to come into contact with the divine tree. Even for members of our Shilan clan, only those who pass the test can approach the divine tree."

"However, considering that the sacred tree gave a prophecy and that you are a distinguished guest of my Shilan clan, I can take the liberty of giving you a chance."

"If you can pass the test, I can take you to the sacred tree and let you be purified by it!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu looked at Jiang Chuan with even greater surprise.

She couldn't understand why Jiang Chuan was so highly regarded by the Shilan tribe of Shushan.

In fact, Jiang Chuan had greatly underestimated his importance in the eyes of the Shilan tribe. He looked at Yu Jun and asked, "What kind of test?"

It didn't take long for Jiang Chuan to understand.

The so-called test is the test used by the Shilan tribe of Shushan to select the guards of Yuyuan.

The Yu Yuan Guards are a very special force within the Shi Lan Clan. Although they are few in number, each of them is highly skilled and bears the heavy responsibility of protecting the Shi Lan Clan. Of course, their most important task is to protect Yu Yuan.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be called the Guardians of Yuyuan.

After passing the test and becoming a guardian of the Abyss, they will come to a sacred place of the Shu Mountain clan to receive the enlightenment of the divine tree, thereby gaining powerful strength.

This is also the only opportunity for ordinary people in Shushan, apart from the Grand Elder and the Holy Maidens of all generations, to come into contact with the Divine Tree.

Jiang Chuan is not a member of the Shilan tribe, so if he wants to be purified by the Divine Tree, he can only do so by passing the test of the Yu Yuan Guardians.

Jiang Chuan was willing to do anything to remove the Yin-Yang curse seal from his body.

Naturally, I wouldn't mind participating in the test.

... ... 0

The test consists of three stages.

The first challenge requires Jiang Chuan to retrieve something from a perilous location in the Shu Mountains, amidst cliffs and precipices.

This was to test the agility of the Yu Yuan guards and their determination to face danger.

The cliff is very steep. One wrong step and you could fall to your death, leaving no trace of your body.

For a long time, the Shilan tribe has been selecting guards for the Yuyuan, and many have failed at this first hurdle.

Despite the fact that this hurdle is extremely dangerous, the Shilan tribe has never changed its course.

Those who lack the courage to face danger and the strength to do so cannot protect the Shilan tribe or the Yuyuan.

However, to prevent some overconfident individuals from rashly participating in the selection process and subsequently dying.

Therefore, before this, the Shilan tribe would ask the participants in every possible way.

Jiang Chuan is not a member of the Shilan tribe, so he naturally wouldn't receive such concern. Moreover, even if Yu Jun really asked him if he was prepared to withdraw from the assessment, he would still continue to participate.

This is the only way for him to break the curse seal.

In the past, those who participated in the selection of Yu Yuan Guardians were mostly young people from the Shilan Clan. Their strength was just so-so, so it was naturally quite difficult for them to retrieve items from the cliffs.

Jiang Chuan, a master-level expert, easily passed the first five levels with his exquisite lightness skill.
