Chapter 715 - 715 Upgrade Curse; Strengthening!
715 Upgrade Curse; Strengthening!
As the saying went, one should not hit a smiling face.
Even in the universe, this saying was still useful.
“Greetings, Mujun,” Lin Fan said.
“I wonder why you’ve come to my place?”
“Lin Fan, you should know about the universe competition in 40 years, right?”
Lin Fan was puzzled. “Universe competition?”
“You don’t know?” Qinxian Mujun asked curiously.
After all, this was a very grand competition.
Generally speaking, as long as one had a slight understanding of the universe, one should have heard of the universe competition.
Lin Fan shook his head.
“Then I’ll explain it briefly. The universe competition is a grand competition that’s held once every million years. The contestants are all geniuses from different universes.
“Those who can achieve outstanding results in the competition will receive the attention of various large factions. Their names will spread throughout countless universes, and they’ll obtain great opportunities!
“In particular, this time’s universe competition has attracted the attention of all the Saint Lords!”
When he mentioned the Saint Lords, Qinxian Mujun’s expression clearly became respectful and excited.
When Lin Fan heard this, he had a thoughtful look on his face.
Could this be the reason why those sects kept challenging him?
At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan’s mind.
[Ding! Mission—Take part in the universe competition.] Reward: Great Dao fragment, Immortal Crystals x5, Advanced Rule Upgrade Gem x1.]
When Lin Fan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Great Dao fragment, five Immortal Crystals, and an Advanced Rule Upgrade Gem!
The rewards for this mission were quite generous.
Lin Fan wanted to agree immediately.
Qinxian Mujun continued, “For the sake of this universe competition, the master of the Spring Region is preparing to select some strong people and nurture them in advance. I wonder if you’re interested?”
Concentrate on training?
Was this not the same as being recruited into the national team and being forced to train?
This was definitely a very good thing for ordinary people.
This was because this was equivalent to performing in front of the master of the Spring Region before participating in the competition and obtaining a large amount of resources.
Once they obtained good results in the competition because of these resources, they would be able to obtain the favor of the Saint Lords.
It was definitely something that would make them soar into the sky in one go.
There were generous rewards from missions, and then there was the favor of the master of the Spring Region and even the Saint Lords.
If it was someone else, they would not hesitate at all and immediately agree.
However, Lin Fan shook his head lightly. “I’m sorry, I don’t have any intention of participating in the universe competition.”
He had the experience of entering a mystic realm before and had even stayed there for a full ten years.
As for the universe competition, which was a large-scale competition that happened once every million years, just by listening to it, he could tell that it would definitely take a long time.
In addition, following the master of the Spring Region would require 40 years of forced training.
In total, it would take an unknown amount of time.
If he had the time, he would rather stay on Earth to cultivate, accompany his family, and protect the planet.
Moreover, the universe’s hegemony involved huge benefits.
The greater the benefits, the fiercer the battle.
Even though Lin Fan was confident that he had decent strength now, if an accident happened during the battle, or if he was plotted against by some experts, then there would always be an accident.
Since that was the case, he might as well stay on Earth.
…
When Qinxian Mujun heard that, he could not help being stunned for a moment.
He did not expect Lin Fan to reject him.
He stammered, “Lin Fan, the universe competition is very rare. You… Won’t you consider it?”
“No thanks,” Lin Fan said decisively.
Qinxian Mujun was stunned. “Alright then.”
The two of them continued to chat for a while before Qinxian Mujun boarded the flying ship and flew away.
After all, he could not force it.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan returned to Earth and started cultivating again.
Time flowed like water.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Fan’s cultivation state had broken through to level-eight Universe.
On this day, just like in previous years, a clear notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! It’s been 80 years since you’ve obtained the advanced system. You’re rewarded with Emperor-Level Cultivation Technique Upgrade Gem x1, Immortal Crystal x1, and Intermediate Rule Upgrade Gem x1.]
[Emperor-Level Cultivation Technique Upgrade Gem: A mysterious gem that can upgrade an Emperor-level cultivation technique to a Saint-level cultivation technique.]
[Intermediate Rule Upgrade Gem: A mysterious gem that can upgrade an intermediate law to an advanced law.]
Seeing this, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up.
These were good treasures!
Lin Fan muttered to himself for a moment before turning his gaze onto Curse.
Curse was a good way to kill people without them noticing.
However, the efficiency was too low.
For the past ten years, Lin Fan had been cursing Zhu Yan every single day. However, he had never received any notification that Zhu Yan was affected.
It was necessary to upgrade it.
[Ding! Do you wish to use the Emperor-Level Cultivation Technique Upgrade Gem on Curse (Emperor)?]
“Yes!”
[Ding! Curse has leveled up successfully. Curse has leveled up to Saint Realm.]
[Do you wish to spend one million spirit stones to curse Zhu Yan?]
If it was in the past, it would be very difficult to take out even one million spirit stones.
But now, many forbidden lands had descended on Earth, bringing along many spirit veins.
On top of that, Lin Fan had brought over some spirit crystals from the universe. There were also the Immortal Crystals that he had obtained from the system. The dense spiritual energy that was emitted from them had caused countless new spirit veins to appear on Earth.
Spirit stones… Naturally, there was no lack of it.
Lin Fan said without hesitation, “Yes!”
In the inner space, a large number of spirit stones shattered and turned into streaks of light, disappearing without a trace.
…
On a planet far away.
Fire God Palace.
Zhu Yan was sitting cross-legged in a purple flame, silently absorbing and refining the fire attribute energy.
In the next moment, Zhu Yan’s body was suffused with wisps of black gas. The purple flames that were originally calm as water kept rolling.
Zhu Yan’s face turned pale. “Curse! Curse again!” Moreover, the power of the curse has actually increased by so much.
“Who is it? Who is cursing me?”
Many people with extraordinary strength and status who had grudges or conflicting interests with him appeared in Zhu Yan’s mind.
“The palace lord of Water God Palace?”
“The sect master of the 10,000 Demons Sect?”
“The sect master of the Lightning Sect?”
…
“He kept cursing me more than ten years ago. Why did he increase the power of the curse now? He seems to be in a hurry…
“The universe competition?”
As Zhu Yan said this, a look of realization appeared on his face.
“So, you want to mess up my plans for the universe!
“Since you want chaos, then let this world be completely chaotic!”
Zhu Yan’s face was filled with a ferocious aura.
His appearance… It was as if he had instantly transformed into a ferocious and hungry wolf, wanting to tear everything into pieces.
