1403 Celestial Emperor’s Curse

"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. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

<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.

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.
