Chapter 73: Cursed
Seeing my brother's success, I was truly delighted and at the same time felt a sense of relief in my heart. Then I took out the treasure I obtained in the Treasure Room Illusion - the Xiantian Eye.
This congenital eye and the congenital eternal heart that my brother obtained are both naturally formed at the beginning of heaven and earth, and it's hard to say what kind of mystery they hold for now. I reckon it won't be worse than the Eternal Heart. I took a pair of golden congenital eyes and started refining them, and my brother understood and voluntarily helped me protect the law. After experiencing what just happened, my brother and I became more cautious in refining these congenital objects.
I carefully followed the Taoist method of refining the pre-heavenly eye, and at the same time, I rotated the Jing Xiu. A thread of divine light shot out from my eyes and hit the pre-heavenly eye, which was directly absorbed. It was soon refined, everything went smoothly, and the two of us were amazed. Could it be because I practiced Jing Xiu? It's very likely, that's what I thought.
Then began to merge, and the merger was also quite smooth. However, just as the merger was completed, a strange change suddenly occurred:
"Hahaha, it's been a long time! It's been ages since I've seen such an innocent soul; hmm, and this body may be a bit weak, but back in the day when I was that age, I wasn't any stronger either. Not bad, not bad at all! I'll take it all!"
A loud, eerie laugh echoed from the depths of his mind, sending shivers down his spine.
His entire body was nimble, and he employed his inner sight technique. He discovered a human-shaped black shadow deep within his mind, and let out a cold hum:
"Hum, you dare to try and replace me? Take this!"
I unleashed my signature move, Soul Devouring, but this time it backfired. The beast form of Soul Devouring flailed about, left and right, yet couldn't catch him, instead getting its own thoughts jumbled up, and occasionally even got slapped by him. What's to be done now?
On the one hand, he was socializing with him, on the other hand, he was frantically thinking and trying to come up with a countermeasure. Si Xiu couldn't sense his thoughts, and Si Xiu also lost his grip, only able to analyze the situation and think of ways.
My brother saw the painful expression on my face and immediately carefully released his divine sense to enter my mind to understand the situation. As soon as he saw that my brother's soul was fighting with the dark shadow, the situation was precarious. He immediately lent a hand to help, but this was a battle in my brother's mind, and there was some risk of harming him instead.
As soon as I saw it, another divine soul appeared in my mind, and the black shadow did not show any fear, but instead burst out laughing loudly:
"Good, very good, another innocent soul has appeared. It seems I have a good fortune. Surrender quietly and I can show great mercy, letting you die a little more comfortably! Otherwise, ahahahaha!"
"Shut up and use the Heaven's Great Seal!" The brother immediately used his signature Soul Spirit technique, but unfortunately, the black shadow was as slippery as a loach, not only could he not catch it, but he was also bitten.
With the help of my brother, I am no longer so flustered. Si Xiu also played a role and came up with two methods:
One is to lure the dark shadow into the ideological space, where I think whatever I want, it's my world and I'm in charge; two is to move the ideological storm, using that terrible storm to eradicate the dark shadow.
The first method is safer, so I decided to use it. Then, I opened a big hole in my mind space and called my brother to enter the mind space together, intentionally leaving the entrance open. The dark shadow fell for it and followed us in.
The black shadow felt like it had entered another world, feeling extremely uneasy and restricted. It immediately became alert, let out a strange cry, and instantly fled outward. Unexpectedly, the black shadow was so vigilant and quickly discovered that its mental space couldn't trap it. The two brothers secretly thought it was a pity. After the black shadow escaped from the mental space, it had a lingering fear on its face and secretly congratulated itself:
"Luckily I'm clever, otherwise I would have capsized in the gutter! If others were to know... How ridiculous, actually making me so embarrassed, your death sentence has arrived!"
At the same time, Heiying also dispelled his underestimation of us.
"This makes it even harder to deal with this old fellow."
Brother said seriously.
I nodded and sighed: "Hmm, I don't even know what era this old guy is from. He was already troublesome enough just now, but now... well, it seems like that's the only way!"
In the end, my eyes were filled with determination, and my brother noticed this and worriedly said:
"Brother, you won't do anything stupid, will you? It hasn't come to that yet!"
"Ah, you've found out about this too, but don't worry, it's just moving a few storms around."
"Storm? Where's the storm? I don't see anything!"
"Ah! Can't you see? It's great! Then he can't see it either, heh heh."
"What storm? There isn't one!"
"That's right, that's my brainstorm, it's normal if others can't see it; oh, right, brother, you'd better be careful when entering my mind in the future, or you might run into my brainstorm and get into trouble."
"Hmm, now that you mention it, I do have a feeling about this. There are many dangers lurking in your mind. Fortunately, my intuition is still good, or else we would have really walked into the storm and gotten into trouble."
"Can you sense the danger? I don't know if he can or not. Ah, never mind, let's try first."
"Hey, don't be in such a rush, why are you still so flustered?" my brother scolded, seeing the awkward look on my face, he then seriously said:
"These storms of yours are still too dangerous. What if they get out of your control? That would be terrible! Remember, don't use them unless absolutely necessary!"
"What should we do now? We can't just stay here and not go out, right?" I was worried at first, but seeing my brother's calm and composed expression, I suddenly felt more at ease, and my eyes lit up as I said:
"Have you got a way, brother?"
"That's right, don't you know who I am? 'Little God' is my younger brother, haha!" The older brother joked, then looked at me and said:
"Having been inspired by your brainstorm, I realized that there is a storm in the soul. It's probably not worth picking up this black thing."
After listening to my brother's humorous and witty words, I also laughed, laughing very freely, as if the dark shadow didn't exist.
Hei Ying saw the two brothers shrinking in their mental space, whispering to each other, and finally couldn't help but laugh. He was somewhat annoyed and threatened: "If you don't come out, don't blame me for ruining this pair of eyes. At worst, I'll find another body, and you won't be the same. Now that the Heavenly Eye has merged with you, you're about to become blind!"
The two brothers were shocked, and I didn't want to become blind, so they walked out in a big way. The black shadow was overjoyed when it saw them, and actually took the initiative to pounce on the brothers. The brothers had been prepared for a long time, and together they fought against the black shadow. After a fierce battle, both sides were a bit tired. It seemed that the brothers' side was even more unbearable, defeated and fled, escaping into the brother's body, retreating towards the heart position, and the black shadow pursued them in victory.
Just as the dark shadow was about to enter his heart, he heard a voice:
"Mental Storm!"
The dark shadow felt danger when it was too late, and was directly drawn into the seven-colored light, wailing in agony. The sudden attack from left and right couldn't escape the storm, but instead felt its divine power being consumed away at every moment.
At this time, the black shadow finally panicked and begged for mercy. His brother didn't give him a chance, no matter how tempting his conditions were. In the end, he stopped begging and threatened instead:
"You can't kill me, if you do, the person who gets these eyes will gradually lose their sight. Don't try to save them, no one but me can lift this curse! Hahahaha."
Upon hearing this, his brother suddenly stopped and the dark figure took advantage of the situation to say:
"This is right, I knew your relationship was extraordinary. If he went blind, just imagine how painful it would be!"
"Brother, don't mind him, his words are not worth believing."
Although I understand what Hei Ying said is likely, leaving him behind would still be a disaster, so he urged:
"Hurry up and refine him first, who can guarantee that if you let him go, he will keep his promise?"
"Not bad, how can I trust you?" The brother asked the black shadow without making a move.
"You have no choice, or you beg me! Maybe I'll take pity on you and not curse your brother's eyes." The dark figure seemed to have made up its mind that my brother wouldn't fight back, and slapped him in the face.
"What do you want me to do for you to show great mercy?" his brother said with a hint of a smile.
"It won't be difficult for you, just let me stay in the eyes of the heavens and have you two kneel down and call me grandfather once, and I'll take you two obedient grandsons." The black shadow couldn't see his brother's expression, thinking that he would yield, and added:
"In those days, I was so powerful and influential across the continent. Many people asked me to be their ancestor, but I refused... Eh? Ah! What are you doing now?"
"Hmm, someone seems unclear about the format!" Brother hummed.
"Hmph, I told you so. People like him should have died long ago. Why are you still wasting your time with him?" I sneered coldly.
"You little brat, I curse you! May your eyesight decline day by day until you lose all light in despair!" - Benyuan's Curse! The dark shadow uttered the most vicious curse. At the moment the curse was spoken, a black gas flashed into my eyes and disappeared, while he dissipated into the universe, never to be reborn again!
The price of this vicious curse is also not trivial, and he won't easily cast it unless absolutely necessary. It seems that he was driven mad by me in a desperate situation. Presumably, this curse has conditional restrictions, that is, the cursed place must have left an imprint beforehand, otherwise it would be futile. And there are black shadows imprinted in the eyes of the innate, which is undoubtedly true.
The dark shadow was extinguished, and the two brothers didn't feel any excitement at all. Instead, they had a heavy boulder weighing on their hearts: this curse is real!
