“Huh?” Yuan had a dumbfounded look on his face after seeing the effects of Celestial Emperor’s Curse.

However, before he could even comprehend the situation, he received a notification.

<As you have been marked by the Celestial Emperor, you have been cursed with ‘Great Misfortune’!>

[Great Misfortune]

[Curse Grade: Divine]

[Description: A curse that lowers your Luck by 5,000]

“Huh?!?!” Yuan could no longer contain his surprise and cried out loud.

“W-what? What happened?!” Everyone in the room looked at him with wide eyes.

“I don’t know, but I’ve been cursed… by the Celestial Emperor himself,” he said in a dazed voice.

“What?!” Xiao Hua’s shocked voice resounded, and she appeared before him the very next moment.

“Why would the Celestial Emperor curse you, Brother Yuan, when you’ve never met him before?!” she asked in a panicked voice.

“I don’t know, but it happened. Because of this curse, all cultivation resources will be 99% less effective for me… I’m not exactly sure how it works, but it definitely doesn’t sound good,” he sighed.

However, Xiao Hua’s body trembled after hearing the effects of the curse, almost as if she recognized it.

“Brother Yuan… that curse is meant for Exiles…” she said a moment later.

“Huh? Exiles? Does that mean I’ve become an Exile?” he asked with wide eyes.

She shook her head, “No, I don’t sense the aura of an Exile from Brother Yuan. However, that curse is undoubtedly meant for Exiles, which restricts their ability to grow any stronger for obvious reasons.”

Meixiu suddenly said, “Do you think it’s because you’re progressing too fast, and the Celestial Emperor is trying to slow you down?”

Chu Liuxiang nodded in agreement, “That’s plausible— no, that’s definitely the case.”

“But why would the Celestial Emperor be worried about Yuan progressing too fast?” Li Jinxi wondered out loud.

Yuan sighed, “While it’s quite inconvenient to have such a significant reduction in my cultivation speed, it doesn’t have any effect on me right now since I am already at a bottleneck, but it will definitely slow me down in the future if I don’t get rid of it by then. On the brighter side, there are plenty of ways to strengthen myself without increasing my cultivation.”

*Knock* *Knock*

“Hey, are you guys back?” Xi Meili knocked on their room after sensing their presence had returned.

Yuan opened the door for her, “Yes, we just got back.”

Xi Meili entered the room and sensed the weird atmosphere.

“Did something happen?” she asked.

Yuan explained the situation to her.

“Wow… To be marked by the Celestial Emperor without meeting him… This is quite an impossible feat, but as expected of you, Yuan. Nothing is impossible for you.” Xi Meili expressed her awe at his ability to achieve the impossible.

“So, what are you going to do now?” she then asked.

“There’s nothing we can do about the curse right now, so we’ll just move forward as planned. I am going to visit the Myriad of Techniques now. Since we’ve entered the Fourth Heaven, there should be more techniques available to us. Want to come along?” Yuan asked them.

“Why not.” Chu Liuxiang said.

“I’ll also tag along.” Meixiu nodded, followed by Li Jinxi.

“I will also come with you.” Xi Meili said.

They made their way to the Myriad of Techniques after checking out of the hotel.

Surprisingly, Xi Meili did not need to have her fate examined even though it was her first visit. Apparently, such evaluation was only needed before the Fourth Heaven.

“You guys can take your time since I don’t know how long I’ll take,” Yuan said to them before contacting Senior Bai and entering his world.

“You…” Senior Bai’s eyes widened with shock the moment he laid eyes on Yuan. He could discern that Yuan’s body had undergone a profound transformation since their last encounter, but he remained ignorant of the precise cause of this change.

“What did you do to your body? How can such drastic change occur in such a short amount of time?” Senior Bai had to ask.

Yuan smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious. I just acquired a new physique, that’s all.”

Senior Bai’s eyes widened a little more after hearing his words.

“So you have two different physiques at this moment?”

Yuan nodded, confirming his doubts.

Just as some individuals can only wield a single Soul Weapon, most people possess only one physique. In fact, due to compatibility issues, having two physiques within one body is considerably more extraordinary than wielding two Soul Weapons simultaneously.

Senior Bai had the urge to inquire about Yuan’s new physique, but a sense of foreboding made him reconsider, opting to remain silent.

After congratulation Yuan on his new achievement, Senior Bai said, “Anyways, you’re here for Lady Xu, correct? Give me a moment to contact her.”

“Thank you.” Yuan nodded.

Senior Bai left to contact Xu Jiaqi, returning alone about half an hour later.

“Is she busy?” Yuan asked.

“A little, but she will be here within a few hours. In the meantime, why don’t we entertain ourselves?” Senior Bai suddenly suggested.

“What kind of entertainment?” Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Senior Bai smiled and said, “Do you recall that small exchange we had some time ago? When you revealed the God of War’s Astral Arts to me? I want to personally experience your growth since then, so I want you to attack me with everything you’ve got again.”

Yuan’s eyes widened at his suggestion and responded in a reserved manner, “Are you sure…?”

A confident grin appeared on Senior Bai’s face as he spoke, “If you think you can hurt me after growing a little, you are underestimating the power of an immortal cultivator.”

He continued, “Or are you waiting for me to reward you if you can hurt me? Very well. I’ll give you a treasure if you can so much as graze my skin!”

“Since you insist, I won’t be humble.” Yuan nodded.

They flew into the air a moment later, but they didn’t immediately start. Senior Bai took a moment to remove all of the nearby floating islands so that they wouldn’t get destroyed. Once prepared, they both faced each other with some distance between them.

“Good luck.” Senior Bai smiled.

“You too.” Yuan smiled back.
