326: Chapter 326 Curse of Luck

"Everything you've said might be a world-shaking, profound secret to others, but to me, it holds little practical use. After all, most of it was already within my understanding."

Cao Yang responded with a calm expression.

"I also know that the Great Emperor Yintian is the Guardian of the River of Time for this Universe."

Cao Yang followed up with a question.

Faced with such a shocking topic, Cao Yang's expression remained exceptionally calm, showing none of the shock Jin Bubai had expected.

"You... how did you know about this?"

Jin Bubai shouted, his eyes wide with disbelief.

One must know that among the Heavenly Dao authorities wielded by Great Emperor Yintian, the crucial part of the River of Time was indeed included, and it was one of his most powerful authorities.

"Haha!"

Cao Yang chuckled, then said confidently, "It's more than just knowing. Not only do I know that Great Emperor Yintian is the Guardian of the River of Time, but I have also clashed with him head-on."

"As for the final result, naturally, it ended in his defeat. Well, do you believe me?"

After speaking, a confident smile appeared on Cao Yang's face.

However, Jin Bubai didn't believe a single word of Cao Yang's statement.

After all, Great Emperor Yintian's reputation was illustrious and his strength unfathomable; how could he be someone easily defeated?

Moreover, the Cao Yang before him looked unremarkable, making it truly difficult to associate him with a powerhouse capable of defeating Great Emperor Yintian.

"Fellow Daoist, what I just spoke of is far from everything! In fact, I can draw that Great Emperor Yintian here. Um... to be precise, he would be drawn here because of you, but I have a way to prevent that from happening!"

Jin Bubai saw that the secrets he revealed hadn't piqued Cao Yang's interest at all.

And seeing that he seemed to have no fear of Great Emperor Yintian, he hurriedly continued.

"Oh? Really? Then tell me the details."

Cao Yang acted indifferent, responding with a casual remark.

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in Jin Bubai's heart.

He hurriedly continued: "I presume Fellow Daoist should know this—whenever a powerhouse of the Source Emperor Realm unfortunately falls, the entire vast Great Universe will tremble violently."

"Not only that, but above the region where the Source Emperor Realm powerhouse was located, a torrential rain as crimson as blood will fall, expressing the profound mourning of the Universe and heaven and earth."

In truth, Cao Yang knew absolutely nothing about this.

But his face remained as calm as water, showing no sign of surprise or confusion.

He just quietly listened to Jin Bubai's non-stop explanation.

Jin Bubai continued with a solemn expression: "Whenever an earth-shaking change like the fall of a Source Emperor occurs, the entire Universe trembles, attracting the terrifying Great Emperor Yintian!"

"Especially in these four vast and resource-rich continents of ours, if a powerhouse at the Peak Source Emperor level unfortunately falls, Great Emperor Yintian will surely rush over like a shark smelling blood."

"After all, the fall of such a powerhouse will cause a massive impact on the Formation guarding this world, and Great Emperor Yintian can also forcibly take a share of the spoils."

"When that time comes, even if your strength is extraordinary, Fellow Daoist, you might not be able to emerge unscathed from a world-shaking battle with Great Emperor Yintian!"

Having finished, Jin Bubai stared intently at Cao Yang with expectant eyes, hoping his words would spark the other's interest, even if only to soften his attitude slightly.

The corners of Cao Yang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

He already understood exactly what kind of scheme this person was plotting.

It seemed the guy was likely planning a 'Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell' trick; in the end, he was simply afraid of ending up dead with his soul dissipated, unable to enter Reincarnation.

However, after some careful consideration, Cao Yang had to admit that given his current situation, it was indeed not very suitable to face the renowned Great Emperor Yintian head-on.

While Cao Yang himself did not fear Great Emperor Yintian, he had to consider the safety of the many women by his side.

If any mishap occurred during such a fierce confrontation, leading to them meeting with an accident, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.

Although Hong Sipan had done her best and could exert the powerful strength of the Chaos Cave Master Realm, it was important to note that at this moment, she was merely the sword spirit of a single sword.

This identity limited her, making many things difficult to execute; once faced with a large-scale Formation attack, it would be hard to ensure all the women could retreat unscathed.

After some deep thought, Cao Yang finally decided to grant Jin Bubai's request.

Because only in this way could the safety of the women be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

He knew in his heart that with his current strength, defeating Great Emperor Yintian would be no easy task. Only by waiting for a period of time until he successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Chaos Realm before acting would he have a greater chance of completely eliminating him.

"Fine, since that's the case, and seeing as you indeed possess some backbone and courage, I will give the Jin Family a chance."

"But before that, please use the Jin Family's Luck to swear a curse oath to show your sincerity."

Cao Yang nodded slightly, looking at Jin Bubai with a firm gaze as he spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Jin Bubai didn't dare to be negligent and quickly replied, "Thank you for your fulfillment, Fellow Daoist."

Just as the oath was being prepared, Jin Bubai was pleasantly surprised to find that his previously confined body had regained the ability to move.

Thus, Jin Bubai took a deep breath, his hands began to quickly form seals, and he muttered incantations. A mysterious and powerful aura radiated from his body as he clearly exerted his full effort to perform the legendary Luck Curse.

Accompanying the performance of his spell, strands of dazzling golden Luck drifted slowly from his body like mist, spreading towards the myriad worlds of the heavens.

This golden Luck seemed to possess a life of its own, nimbly weaving through the Void Realm, leaving behind dazzling trails wherever it passed.

Time passed minute by minute, and this state actually lasted for an entire month!

This long process was enough to prove the depth of the Jin Family's heritage, the strength of their power, and the vast number of their clansmen.

After all, being able to support such a long and continuous output of Luck power was not something an ordinary Family could achieve.

Cao Yang had also released the other two confined Source Emperor powerhouses.

Although these two were full of resentment upon being freed, they already knew about the deal reached between Cao Yang and their Old Ancestor, so they could only helplessly choose silence.

At this moment, they stood quietly to the side, their eyes revealing deep sorrow, yet they didn't dare show even a hint of hatred.

Finally, after a month of arduous spellcasting, Jin Bubai let out a long breath of turbid air and slowly stood up.

He looked somewhat tiredly at the two Source Emperor clansmen beside him and spoke solemnly: "Regardless of my final end, you and the entire Jin Family must absolutely not take any form of revenge. Even a tiny inkling of such a thought will lead to unimaginably severe consequences."

"Once I fall, remember not to continue opposing the Pavilion Master; it would be best to proactively withdraw from the Wanjie Pavilion."

"If Fellow Daoist comes to the Jin Family in the future, all of you must unconditionally obey his commands without the slightest defiance."

After finishing his instructions, Jin Bubai looked at Cao Yang.

Cao Yang nodded with satisfaction; Jin Bubai had done reasonably well.
