Wanbao Lady

Shen Tuo noticed Chongfan's gaze and explained, "The jade slip is completely blank. Our ancestors have never been able to figure out anything special from it, so we simply gave it to the queen."

Chongfan nodded, looking puzzled.

But then a question arose in her mind.

As far as she knew, the war between humans and demons had happened thousands of years ago.

Since this old man is only in the Jindan stage, it means that these "assets" have been passed down for several generations before they fell into his hands.

Logically speaking, with a clan and resources, they shouldn't be afraid of a lone wild monster!

Monsters don’t have a short lifespan like humans. Is there no one above this old man?

Without saying too much, in all these years, isn’t there even an ancestor in the transformation stage?

Otherwise, how could he be bullied so badly by that snake demon!

Chongfan also asked this question tactfully.

But then Shen Tuo and Shen Zhuyu beside him sighed at the same time.

His face was filled with sorrow.

"Alas, this is the fate of our clam clan!"

The mirage Zhuyu beside him couldn't help but feel sad, and cried, "To be honest, Madam, we, the Mohe clam spirits, are unable to transform into human form..."

As he spoke, tears began to flow down his face.

After listening to the stories told by the old man and the young boy, Chongfan also understood the whole story.

Thousands of years ago, in order to avoid disaster, the entire clam clan moved to Pingjiang.

Since ancient times, once the clam spirits transformed, the men were basically handsome and the women were beautiful.

Of course, this does not apply to people like the old clam spirit who likes to appear as an old man.

Especially the daughter of the clan leader at that time, she was a beauty after she transformed.

As a result, he became the target of the Pingjiang Demon King.

Unfortunately, the demon girl already had a lover at that time, and the demon king, failing to win her love, took her by force.

The banshee couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide.

This incident made the chief of the clam spirit clan extremely sad and angry. He was so furious that he wanted to fight the demon king to the death.

But due to the huge disparity in strength, the old patriarch was killed.

When the demon king saw that he didn't get what he wanted and the clam spirits even dared to resist, he got furious and placed a blood curse on them.

Words: From now on, if the clam spirits want to survive the thunder tribulation and transform into human form, they will surely fail!

In this way, they will no longer be able to produce handsome men and beautiful women to arouse the sexual desire of others.

When these words were spoken, the other clam spirits were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

It was obvious that the demon king failed in his love proposal, so he forced his tribe members to death and killed the tribe leader.

Now, not only has he placed such a vicious blood curse on the remaining members of the tribe, he has also thrown dirty water on them, saying that they deliberately seduced people after they transformed.

Is there still justice in this world?

But there was nothing they could do; the other party was too powerful, and the remaining clam spirits had no choice but to suffer the loss and move again.

After moving around a lot, they finally moved to Mohe.

During this period, there were members of their clan who had to endure thunder tribulations and enter the transformation period, but they all failed.

The consequences of failing to overcome the tribulation can be imagined.

Several tribesmen died on the spot under the thunder and turned into ashes.

When the other clam spirits saw this, they thought, wasn’t this the fulfillment of the demon king’s curse?

This curse usually happens silently, but it only takes effect when they are going through a thunder tribulation.

Although no one knows what its principle is or how it works, it does not prevent all the clam spirits from developing psychological trauma from it.

Therefore, he had to stop practicing and turn to look for a way to break the curse.

However, nearly a thousand years have passed and nothing has been achieved.

The blood curse was cast by the demon king in the Yangshen period, so it is not so easy to break for others.

Unless you go find the top cultivator in the Dongxu period.

But how could their small clam clan ever meet such a top cultivator?

Later, there was a stubborn clam spirit who refused to believe in evil and insisted on going through the thunder tribulation.

Although he did not die on the spot, he was seriously injured.

Before he died, he finally revealed the method of operating the blood curse.

It turns out that as soon as they overcome the tribulation, the blood curse will turn into intense malice, like a demon in their heart, interfering with their minds and distracting them.

The consequence of being distracted is failure in overcoming the tribulation.

Unfortunately, the malice coming from their bloodline was too powerful, and the clam spirits were simply unable to resist it.

The truth was finally revealed and the fog of the unknown disappeared.

Although the clam clan is not so afraid now that they understand the curse, it is still a sword hanging over their heads.

As long as you go over, the sword will cut down.

As a last resort, the clam spirits found a secret method that could forcibly suppress their own cultivation and delay the time of tribulation.

Just like the old clam monster in front of Chongfan, although he is only in the late stage of Jindan now, he has actually reached the peak of Jindan a long time ago and can survive the thunder tribulation.

It's just that he used a secret method to suppress his cultivation.

"My ancestors, who died in the thunderstorm, were filled with hatred. From now on, no one in my clan can enter the human form."

Shen Tuo was in tears, and the woman beside him was also crying.

Even the turtle spirit shed a few tears.

After hearing this story, everyone was filled with indignation.

I wish I could give the Pingjiang Demon King a good beating.

Chongfan also secretly activated the Qi-gazing technique and took a look at the two clam spirits.

This is amazing to see.

I saw a crocodile-like thing clinging to the rising breath from the two monsters.

As if noticing someone was looking at it, the crocodile let out a silent roar.

Chongfan closed his eyes immediately.

When he opened his eyes, the light of the Qi-gazing technique disappeared.

What a powerful crocodile monster!

I guess this must be the Pingjiang Demon King in the Yangshen period.

Fortunately, I am in the system home and am not harmed.

Otherwise, based on the glance I just gave, I would probably be blinded.

It is difficult for me to deal with the curse cast by such a powerful monster at the moment.

I'm afraid I can only do that when I become stronger in the future.

However, if hard solution doesn't work, can't we find a loophole?

It just so happened that she had read a lot of books some time ago and knew a way to take advantage of a loophole.

Then Chongfan said slowly:

"Since the curse will only come out to interfere when you are going through the tribulation, why not step into the divine way? If you can achieve the divine way, you won't need to go through this thunder tribulation when you enter the human form."

Just like the mountain god and the land god, although he is a minor god, he is believed in by intelligent creatures and recognized by heaven and earth, so he doesn't need to overcome tribulations or anything like that.

Shen Tuo sighed.

He said, "Your Highness, you don't know. It's not that our ancestors have never thought of this method. But firstly, to enter the way of the gods, you need the faith of wise beings, and secondly, you need to be ordained by the court. If you are not ordained, you will need years of accumulation and recognition from heaven and earth before you can achieve the fruit position."

He sighed again and said with a sad face, "But my small clam monster clan is still an alien race. Even if we do good deeds, there are very few people who believe in us. Moreover, it is even more difficult for us, an alien race, to be officially recognized by the court."

He shook his head. "Even though we have been working hard and accumulating knowledge over time, no one in our tribe has been recognized by heaven and earth so far!"

So, it is not that easy to achieve the status of a god!

That is Luo Cheng'an. Because he has not been officially recognized by the imperial court, he wants to take the path of being recognized by heaven and earth. Now he is only in the stage of guardian god and has not truly achieved the status of earthly god.

Chongfan nodded to show his understanding.

She glanced downward, as if thinking about something.

But he accidentally saw that the turtle spirit below seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

I couldn't help but ask, "My dear friend, I see you are hesitant to speak, do you have any opinion?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the turtle spirit.
