Chapter 1071: Chapter 375: Unexpected Gains (Double-Length Chapter)

This man, like Li Jin, the patriarch of the Lu Li Clan, is a strong character from the Earth Sea that has risen in recent years.

Lei Jun had also previously talked with Tian Cheng about Li Bin.

Because the past attack that tried to disrupt the ritual instrument and was then killed was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Jiuli Great Witch from the Ju Li Clan.

It was during a chat with Tian Cheng about matters related to the Ju Li Clan that Lei Jun realized he was somewhat connected to this branch of the Jiuli.

Because, the previous generation patriarch of the Ju Li Clan, rumored to have died mysteriously a century ago.

And it is said that it’s because a master from outside Earth Sea invaded Earth Sea and encountered an intense battle with him.

The former patriarch of the Ju Li Clan was severely injured and later died.

As a result, the Ju Li Clan faced the same predicament as the Lu Li Clan, until years later, when Li Bin rose up, achieving the Ninth Heavenly Layer Divine Descent.

As for the master who led to the death of the former patriarch of the Ju Li Clan, since the incident was sudden, no other Ju Li clan members know the details, so the matter remains a mystery.

Based on the former patriarch’s body, it is speculated that the opponent likely used a sword, but it’s uncertain whether they were a Martial Tao Weapon Strike cultivator or a Taoist Sect Artifact Refining Sword cultivator or a Confucian Classical Studies swordsman.

But to Lei Jun, upon considering the approximate timeline, it all seemed like back in the day with Chen Donglou...

Since the former patriarch of the Ju Li Clan has already perished, the cause and effect from that time could be said to have been resolved by Elder Chen of Mount Shu, so Lei Jun doesn’t worry much about it.

Upon seeing Li Bin, the new patriarch of the Ju Li Clan, Lei Jun remained composed.

Yet the other party was clearly coming to disrupt the ritual instrument.

Sun Li sighed softly.

But around him, curse power had begun to influence the surroundings.

From underground, four black pillars, neither metal nor wood, rose up.

These four pillars, known as the Four Extremes Pillars, occupy four sides, reaching from heaven to earth, offering sacrifices to the gods, heaven, earth, and nature.

It is the most prominent feature when the Witchcraft Sect’s Curse Blessing lineage cultivators reach the Perfection stage of the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

The Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Witchcraft Sect’s Curse Blessing lineage is called Connecting Heaven.

Connecting the Four Extremes, asking the heavens above, calling the Netherworld below.

Often, Curse Blessing lineage cultivators do not easily manifest the Four Extremes Pillars during a duel of magic.

Once manifested, their curses are certainly stronger, but they also become more easily vulnerable to being fundamentally harmed by enemies.

Especially when lower realm cultivators face higher realm cultivators.

And for Sun Li, the most challenging Ninth Heavenly Layer opponent is the same Curse Blessing lineage Divine Descent Great Witch.

Such as the current Li Bin.

Because the Curse Blessing lineage cultivators can dispel their opponent’s Curse Technique.

And higher realm Great Witches can more easily dispel the curse of lower realm cultivators, while the reverse is more difficult, nearly impossible.

Lei Jun had previously heard descriptions from others.

The contemporary Saint Ruler Feng Gui of the Sacred Land Samsara Abyss in the Tang Dynasty Mortal Realm’s Witchcraft Sect’s Curse Blessing lineage avoided Li Bin directly.

He was not as embarrassed facing other Ninth Heavenly Layer masters.

Li Bin came to disrupt the ritual instrument.

Even though he had heard of Lei Jun’s current unfavorable state, Li Bin did not act carelessly.

Facing Lei Jun and Sun Li, he directly launched a Nether Sea Curse.

This is a curse technique studied by the Jiuli people of Earth Sea, unheard of in the Tang Dynasty Mortal Realm.

Lei Jun looked from afar, as if seeing a vast illusory sea wave sweeping around, enveloping the entire surrounding area, truly vast and dominating.

The invisible sea was cold and dead, wherever it reached, not a single blade of grass grew, drowning every living soul’s consciousness, leaving no defense.

Sun Li, however, adopted what seemed the most foolish method, directly using dispel to counter Li Bin’s dominating vast Nether Sea Curse.

However, Sun Li’s dispel contained the unpredictable.

Within it, there was yet another Morning Sun Precious Wood.

By leveraging the aura of warm sunlight granted by this treasure, Sun Li successfully suppressed the extreme cold of the Nether Sea, resisting Li Bin of the Ninth Heavenly Layer with his Eighth Heavenly Layer realm.

Meanwhile, another curse technique of Sun Li launched a counteroffensive at this moment.

His counterattack appeared understated, just a faint gray shadow quietly passing through the Nether Sea, approaching the opponent.

Yet the result was that Li Bin, the Great Witch of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, didn’t even use dispel, and directly withdrew.

It turns out his insight and judgment were correct, narrowly avoiding Sun Li’s curse technique.

This Ju Li Clan patriarch Li Bin, whose patterned face and strong build resemble those of a Martial Tao expert, deeply gazed back at the inconspicuous Sun Li before his figure retreated, disappearing into the dark underground world.

"Samsara Descend..." Lei Jun blurted out.

The Samsara Descend that once tormented the deceased Celestial Master Li Qingfeng for many years.

One of the strongest curse techniques of the Witchcraft Sect, Samsara Descend.

It appears unremarkable, but once it adheres to someone, it’s described as entangling them across lifetimes ceaselessly.

Back in the day, after the Celestial Master Mansion improved relations with the Samsara Abyss, Saint Ruler Feng Gui of the Samsara Abyss helped alleviate the effects of the Samsara Descend on Li Qingfeng, but was unable to eradicate it.

Some Taoist sects have methods for feigning death and reincarnation.

But even these supernatural ability methods cannot remove the entanglement of Samsara Descend.

This curse technique has been lost for many years in the realm of cultivation in the current Great Tang, never again practiced by anyone.

Even among the Jiuli of Earth Sea, Li Bin, the Great Witch of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Divine Descent Realm, newly risen as the branch leader of the Ju Li Clan, has not mastered Samsara Descend.

And today, the seemingly inconspicuous small gray shadow pierced straight through the Nether Sea.

However, after repelling the Jiuli Great Witch, Sun Li exhaled a long breath, fatigue showing on his face.

"Thank you, elder," Lei Jun said.

Sun Li smiled, "It’s my humble offering."

Even so, with this one curse technique, it is declared that even if he doesn’t break through to the Ninth Heavenly Layer, he still surpasses Feng Gui, becoming the number one expert of the new curse blessing sect in the Great Tang.

However, there is a small question...

How did Sun Li refine Samsara Descend?

The thought that unexpectedly emerged in Lei Jun’s mind was...

Reincarnation Frost Dew.

Originally within the Celestial Book Universe, the Mercury Water Luminary used Fixed Sky Cloud Gauze to trade with him for Reincarnation Frost Dew.

Did Sun Li get Reincarnation Frost Dew from someone else?

Lei Jun carefully recalled.

It seems there were moments where everyone first traded information in the Celestial Book Universe, and later similar information came from Master Yuan Mobai.

In retrospect now, the source was the same person, no wonder.

Before, Lei Jun also had some habitual thinking.

He initially guessed Li Tianqing or Xing Feng and others.

The result was Empress Zhang Wantong spreading the Celestial Book, not necessarily all given to young people...

Hmm, wait a moment.

It’s hard to say.

The page of Celestial Book Sun Li may have gotten from someone else.

Lei Jun did not intend to dig deeper.

He did not inquire about the Samsara Descend matter but instead asked, "Elder, do you still have any Morning Sun Precious Wood like that?"

During the earlier move, Lei Jun noticed, that Sun Li’s smooth dispelling of Li Bin’s Nether Sea Curse relied not only on his own curse power but also on the mystical power of the Morning Sun Precious Wood.

"I do have some Morning Sun Precious Wood," Sun Li said, "but not much left."

Lei Jun said, "I would like to borrow a piece from you, elder."

Sun Li replied, "No need to be polite; I didn’t know the Celestial Master needed it before. Now that I know, I surely won’t be stingy."

Legend says Morning Sun Precious Wood is formed from branches of the Divine Tree facing the sun.

The Tang Dynasty Mortal World hasn’t seen it appear for years consecutively.

Where did Sun Li get it?

Lei Jun, after receiving the Morning Sun Precious Wood from Sun Li, pondered carefully, "I thank you on behalf of my junior, elder."

He similarly buried the Morning Sun Precious Wood underground to process it.

Then added his preserved Heaven and Earth Inversion Flow.

Next, quietly waited.

Soon, the dark soil trembled beneath his feet.

Then, the soil split open.

Like stars ascending, light burst from the ground, then with starlight dragging the shining brilliance to the sky, illuminating the dark underground.

It is indeed the phenomenon of Earth Surge Sky Star!

With Lei Jun’s current insight, perceptive ability, and judgment, upon entering the Earth Sea, he realized that the current environment paired with his Heaven and Earth Inversion Flow had the potential to facilitate Earth Surge Sky Star, though slightly lacking.

Soon as he saw Sun Li taking the first Morning Sun Precious Wood, Lei Jun confirmed this was what he needed.

However, he wasn’t sure if Sun Li had some to spare, so he said nothing earlier.

Once he saw Sun Li drawing one Morning Sun Precious Wood after another, Lei Jun then inquired.

Now with Morning Sun rooted to the ground, Heaven and Earth Inversion Flow, Earth Sea rising with stars.

Thus ultimately forming the phenomenon of Earth Surge Sky Star.

Indeed an unexpected harvest.

Lei Jun ascended with his Yang Thunder Dragon soaring into the sky, then amidst the air he collected the rising stars and secured them with the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram.

Within the Tai Chi Diagram, the brilliance revolved, ceaselessly.
