System's Super Sect Chapter 1539: Weaknesses of Curse Power (5K)

“Are you sure it’s the Immortal Sect’s doing?” Nalan Muhong inquired.

Endless Celestial Suspension nodded, “Yes, indeed, because besides them, who else in this Heaven-Gazing Gorge possesses such power.”

With those words, Nalan Muhong fell into deep thought, staring intently at the on-the-verge-of-madness Chen Jianghe.

Then she spoke slowly.

“I have no solution either.”

Both Endless Celestial Suspension and Zhuo Fengchen were taken aback; neither anticipated this result from Nalan Muhong’s arrival.

Next, Nalan Muhong continued, “Even outside Heaven-Gazing Gorge, I’ve never heard of such a peculiar power—ethereal, elusive, unstoppable. Most notably, it attacks only its chosen targets, posing little threat to others.”

Zhuo Fengchen murmured from the side, brows furrowing, “Could it be another anomalous vein attribute concocted by the Immortal Sect?”

“That possibility can’t be ruled out…” Nalan Muhong withdrew her gaze solemnly, doubts stirring within her heart.

Despite her efforts to overestimate the Immortal Sect, she ultimately underestimated them. Clearly, she needed to find a way to break the situation soon, or else Heaven-Gazing Gorge wouldn’t have room for her anymore!

The gorge produces just a sliver of Primordial Vast Power each year, something that the outsiders like the Immortal Sect couldn’t possibly ignore.

She believed their appearance focused on the gorge’s Primordial Vast Power production; otherwise, why would they lie dormant for so many years?

Previously, the power the Immortal Sect displayed was threatening but not lethal. After Tian Wuxin joined Celestial Suspension Tower, she feared it even less, so she hadn’t wanted to engage in a do-or-die confrontation with them.

However, this mysterious power’s appearance now demanded her vigilance.

What if the power’s user grows to threaten even a Half-Step Primordial Vast level?

What should she do then?

Not even Primordial Vast Power could withstand it!

Shaking off her reverie, Nalan Muhong wrapped Chen Jianghe within her grip, her expression gradually returning to its usual calm and aloof demeanor, “But you two needn’t be overly worried; this mysterious force is evidently not yet a threat to a Half-Step Primordial Vast level. Furthermore, the stronger the power, the more arduous and lengthy its growth.”

Seeing the two exchange apprehensive looks, still uneasy, Nalan Muhong added, “By the time it grows, I would have already entered the Primordial Vast Realm!”

With those words, the gloom lifted significantly from their faces.

Indeed.

What’s there to fear?

Elder Nalan Muhong teaming with Tian Wuxin in their effort to break through; success is within reach in years, at most a decade.

Once successful, who then would the Celestial Suspension Tower fear?

“I’m taking him with me.” Nalan Muhong left these words and then disappeared together with Chen Jianghe from Lake Heart Island.

With Nalan Muhong’s departure, Endless Celestial Suspension and Zhuo Fengchen closed their Meridian Gates, exchanging looks.

Their faces, compared to earlier distress, now held more brightness, with ever-present flashes of fierce killing intent.

“We must find that old relic; while he poses no threat for now, his presence at Celestial Suspension Tower deeply unsettles everyone, thereby jeopardizing our plans,” Endless Celestial Suspension spoke gravely.

Zhuo Fengchen nodded, deeply agreeing.

Because of the Immortal Sect’s presence, they couldn’t make a direct move, making the Upper Realm this war’s linchpin.

Currently, Celestial Suspension Tower held an almost overwhelming sway over Geng Country when considering the Upper Realm alone, making it imperative not to lose this edge.

Zhuo Fengchen promptly proposed, “Master, given our inability to thwart that old relic’s tactics like Weisheng Xingyu, why not cut through the mess decisively!”

Endless Celestial Suspension nodded, immediately asserting, “You make a good point; issue orders—concentrate all Upper Realm forces at one location, launch a full assault at dawn, strike rapidly through Beize Domain straight to the Central Divine Domain. I want to see if that old relic dares appear again!”

“Yes!”

Zhuo Fengchen concurred.

Meanwhile, Nalan Muhong, carrying Chen Jianghe, was steadily traversing through the Qu Realm, distantly leaving Geng Country.

Three hours later.

Nalan Muhong suddenly halted.

It wasn’t because of any sympathy for Chen Jianghe’s suffering and cries, but because she noticed a mysterious power eroding Chen Jianghe had weakened significantly, leaving her perplexed.

Upon further distancing themselves by another hundred thousand miles from Geng Country, Nalan Muhong stopped again, joy appearing on her face.

She initially intended to take Chen Jianghe’s corpse for study of that mysterious power, being a force unheard of outside the gorge.

However, unexpected delights emerged!

“Every hundred thousand miles, that mysterious power weakens by thirty percent! It appears distance might be its sole weakness.” With this theory in mind, Nalan Muhong again flew another hundred thousand miles and indeed found the mysterious power dwindled by thirty percent.

Observing this, Nalan Muhong was thrilled.

“Hahaha, so this is your weakness. No wonder such a power is unheard of outside Heaven-Gazing Gorge, fearful of mere distance—what good is it?”

This power is slightly useful below the Primordial Vast Realm; at a Primordial Vast Realm stage, it’s like chicken ribs!

Soon, sensing the complete vanishing of the mysterious power from Chen Jianghe’s body, Nalan Muhong reined in her amusement.

Seeing Chen Jianghe with shattered meridians, a decayed spirit body, and lost sanity, Nalan Muhong mercifully ended his misery swiftly.

“Even so, I must remain cautious, or being targeted might ruin my chance at a breakthrough,” thinking this, Nalan Muhong decided to distance herself from Geng Country, leaving all affairs unattended until her breakthrough.

Having gone through such lengths to deceive Tian Wuxin as a tool, missing this chance means another opportunity might not arise.
