Chapter 576: Another kind of cultivation (1/2)
After leaving Dragon King Island, the sea demon boat sailed straight towards Cloud Mist Sect without stopping even once alone the way. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others frequently went to the deck to either watch the scenery or to leisurely drink and eat to their heart’s content. Ye Chuan however continuously cultivated without leaving his room.
He knew that if he wanted to rescue Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixya, then he had to face White Haired Heavenly Empress!
Ye Chuan felt heavy pressure. White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was like a big mountain in front of him. Either he could surmount this mountain and save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia or he would be crushed into pieces by this big mountain.
Ye Chuan cultivated, sparing no effort. He wanted to make a breakthrough again before going to Heavenly Yao Sect, but just a day after they left Dragon King Island, his cultivation was interrupted. The backlash of Octopus Talisman was coming again.
After leaving Bellowing Waves Island, the backlash of Octopus Talisman had come several times, but the situation was nothing serious. Sometimes, he felt itchy, and sometimes, his blood and qi seethed, but this time, the situation was very serious far beyond his expectation. It was just a little unusual at the beginning as if there were some small issues, but those small issues accumulated and suddenly broke out, wanting to break his body.
It was late at night, and Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged on his room when the Octopus Talisman suddenly seethed. First, his skin felt itchy, and slowly, that feeling spread to his flesh under the skin. Even if scratched himself until he was bleeding everywhere, it would be useless. But, the itching didn’t stop and it was unbearable. He was dying to scrape his bone with a knife.
Although this itching nearly drove him insane, it didn’t stop. He then began to feel stinging pain as if thousands of needles were pricking all over his body. That feeling was just like he was being put to death by a thousand cuts. One moment, he felt an itch, and on the other moment, he felt pain, this combination of itch and pain was sufficient to drive anyone insane.
Ye Chuan was prepared in advance. He knew that Octopus Empress wouldn’t easily let him off, but for a moment, he couldn’t help trembling and wanted to scream in pain, but he forcibly stopped himself from screaming. Soon, his forehead was filled with sweat. In his previous life, before he had become Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had also suffered many pains and sufferings. Although the effect of Octopus Talisman within his body had made suffer pain, relying on his extraordinary fortitude, he endured it.
The effect of Octopus Talisman didn’t last for a long time. In less than half an hour, this talisman simmered down and appeared no different from other talismans. Now, Ye Chaun was drenched with sweat and his limbs were numb. Only after a good while, he slowly recovered his senses.
This time, how come the effect of Octopus Talisman is so powerful?
What kind of secret technique did that Octopus Empress use? Did this talisman truly become more powerful after absorbing the energy of White Dragon Sage? Hereafter, will it become stronger and stronger?
The heart of Ye Chuan shook, recalling the voice of Octopus Empress that reverberated throughout the sky when White Dragon Sage tried to crack the Octopus Talisman. Although he already knew that this Octopus Talisman was a hidden danger, it seemed that he had underestimated this talisman. Not only was it a hidden danger, it was also a fatal danger. If it got stronger and stronger, then he might lose control of himself, go insane or even die.
This time, he was able to endure with his extraordinary fortitude, what about next time?
Ye Chuan shuddered. He who wasn’t afraid even when facing Qing Tianhou however felt fear now. Although Qing Tianhou was powerful, he could still stay far away from him, but he couldn’t get rid of this talisman and it was within his body. Moreover, he had to suffer torture once every three days, and if this torment got stronger and stronger, then who could endure?
Along with the footsteps in the darkness, Zhu Sijia suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. She only wore an extremely thin cloth. It seemed that she had just woken up from her sleep.
“Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what happened?”
Upon seeing the sweaty appearance of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia was startled. She quickly took out a handkerchief and help Ye Chuan to wipe the sweat. “Big Senior Apprentice Brother, isn’t this the effect of that something talisman left within your body by that Octopus Empress?”
