“King DU’s cultivation technique is very special. Every time he breaks through, he will enter a state of suspended animation. You don’t have to be too afraid.”
Zhang Qiu said faintly behind the crowd, as if he wanted to see the world in chaos.
“What’s his practitioning?”Lin Yi asked.
Everyone perked up their ears. This was related to the foundation of the five Giants ‘strength, and it was definitely a top secret. Even with their intelligence means, it was difficult to investigate clearly, and they only knew some vague details.
In fact, if someone had not disclosed the information to them, even they would not have known King DU’s current position and situation, let alone come here.
“This is a secret that can not be told to outsiders, but since Hall Master Lin has asked, I have to give you face.”
Zhang Qiu took the opportunity to do him a favor.”King DU’s cultivation technique is called the self-pitying curse. Strictly speaking, it’s not a cultivation technique. It’s an extremely powerful curse.”
“A curse?”
Everyone was stunned. Although they had their own information, in terms of accuracy, they were still lacking compared to the Hundred Schools of Thought, who made a living out of information. At the very least, the self-pitying curse was not mentioned in their information.
“That’s right. To be precise, it’s a spell. For a period of time, it was called one of the three great wondrous Arts along with witchcraft and Gu techniques. It was all the rage for a time, and at that time, it even overshadowed the mainstream cultivation techniques!”
“However, their cultivation process was too outrageous. In the end, they were put out of order and gradually disappeared from the world of cultivation. Even if they occasionally appeared, they would be regarded as evil and quickly suppressed. Until now, very few people have heard of them, and those who understand them are even rarer.”
Zhang Qiu spoke with great interest.
The crowd was naturally happy to get more information from him. It must be known that it was not cheap to buy information from the Hundred Schools of Thought, especially when it involved the five greats. No matter how many spiritual jades one had, they might not be able to buy it.
However, while listening to his explanation, everyone’s attention was still on the king in the coffin. They kept a close eye on the King’s every move, and they would attack immediately if there was any change. This was also a tacit understanding that everyone had.
They had to be on guard against each other, but if King du really came back to life, they had to work together with all their might.
Otherwise, no one here could think of living.
Zhang Qiu continued.”The self-pity curse that King du cultivated is different from ordinary curses. Ordinary curses curse others, but the self-pity curse is a curse on oneself.”
“Curses are a type of power, an incomparably mysterious and powerful power. It can curse a person to death, and it can also curse a person’s life. Even though we, the Hundred Schools of Thought, are not clear on the exact details of the curse, we are certain that every curse is too powerful, so a huge price has to be paid.”
“Therefore, you can understand the self-pity curse as the king has given up something extremely important in order to obtain a power that we can not imagine!”
“What did the king give up?” Lin Yi interrupted.
“I don’t know,”
“No one can answer this question except for King du himself,” Zhang Qiu said slowly.”But our hundred school of thought has gathered intelligence from all over the world and has a guess. King du might have abandoned his human emotions and desires.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything, but the others all understood.
The Executive Council’s great master, palm Xing, clutched the coffin and said,””No wonder I didn’t feel any human from King du before. He was as cold as a walking corpse, no different from this garbage collector.”
The person he was pointing at was the scavenger, Liu Yun.
Lin Yi nodded silently. Liu Yun’s body was emitting a thick aura of death. He didn’t look like a living person at all. Lin Yi couldn’t help but have goosebumps.
But Lin Yi’s intuition told him that as long as he could understand the mysteries, it wouldn’t be hard for him to replicate the feeling with his perfect five elemental domain.
After all, Lin Yi had already mastered the reversal of the five elements, which was an extreme of self-healing. It represented life, and the power in this person represented death.
Life and death were two sides of the same coin, and it was completely possible to transform each other.
“Then what’s his situation now?” Lin Yi continued.
Zhang Qiu smiled.”All curses have flaws, and the same goes for the self-pity curse. It will cause a strong backlash during the breakthrough, so every time he breaks through to the Supreme King level, he has to resort to this method of feigning death to resolve the backlash. Before the backlash of the curse is resolved, he can’t wake up, and his strength will be infinitely weakened.”
“In terms of individual strength, the sole King is one of the top five. There are only a few people in the retained Academy who can fight him head on. According to our calculations, he should have already reached the last step of the giant’s ultimate completion. If he succeeds in breaking through this time, no one in the retained Academy will be his match!”
“So, this is our only chance.”
Lin Yi had a rough idea of what was going on, but the most important thing was still a little weird.”Even if this is the best time to kill King du … Why did you kill him?”
These words sounded a little redundant at first.
The repeating students were leaderless and fought all year round for territory, resources, and even people.
But when it came to King du, none of these reasons were sufficient.
It was true that as one of the five Giants, they controlled a large territory in the eastern area and the resources piled up in King DU’s Palace were enough to make any force jealous. However, no one would make a move on King du for these resources.
Although the benefits were great, they were still disproportionate to the risks.
Everyone present knew very well that even the king, who was said to be at his weakest, was still an extremely dangerous existence to them. Even if he was in a state of suspended animation, they would still die if anything happened to him.
Li Yushu and the others were silent, but Zhang Qiu was trying to be nice to Lin Yi. “There’s only one reason for everyone to be here. They’re all here for King DU’s strength!”
“What do you mean?” Lin Yi raised a brow.
“The self-pity curse has a special feature. Once its power takes shape, it will not dissipate easily. If King du dies, his power will become ownerless and will automatically seek out the next Master.”
Zhang Qiu glanced at the crowd and said,””Whoever is able to succeed, I’ll have to congratulate the birth of the new five Giants.”
Lin Yi could feel the change in the atmosphere.
Not only was du Wang’s strength tempting, but the most important thing was that four of the people present were experts at the peak of the late stage of the consummate level of a giant. As long as they could obtain him, even if they couldn’t fully replicate du Wang’s strength, they could easily break through and step into the ultimate realm of the consummate level of a giant!
This temptation was enough to overpower everything.
