Milfs: Dual Cultivation

Chapter 169 Five Gods!

At the same time,

Few group of disciple donned in white robe with some fancy and luxurious accessories were having an talk.

From their clothing alone, one could tell that they were superior disciple.

"Wufff* I never expected that Empire's army would leave out sect alone," one of them uttered.

"Indeed! That day I thought out sect would be destroyed however, the array placed by sect master slaughtered everyone," another one uttered.

Each of them had high amount of respect towards their sect master.

However, they weren't here to talk about this matter.

They were here to talk about something else.

"I heard many people are dying these days..." One of them finally brought up the topic.

"Yeah! I heard a immortal curse has awakened and multiple cultivators are dying out of nowhere," another one added.

Immortal curse in an anveint curse placed upon this world which killed random cultivators.

Ordinary mortals were safe but cultivator weren't.

In just weeks around 20,000 cultivators has died in their empire.

"I heard another scet had explored a magical Well and after destroying the positions of statues of gods there, the curse has awakened," a disciple who looked more informative among them said with a small tone.

He was Mu Lao, the smartest disciple in the sect.

"W-What?" Another disciple exclaimed in surprise as he refused to believe the words of Mu Lao.

"I think junior brother believe I am making things up... However, I am not, the information I have is 100% accurate and can't be taken lightly," Mu Lao said.

"And if we have to suppress the curse, we need to put the statue of gods in their actual place in order," Mu Lao added.

"Brother Mu Lao, it's not like I don't believe you, however, I don't think we can even put the statues of gods in correct order when we didn't even messed it up,"

Hearing this, other remaining disciples also nodded.

They, who have never seen the actual positioning, how can they even fix it?

"Brother Bai, it's true however the frist one to receive the curse were the one who entered there... Which means those, who have went to that anceint Well were already dead and now the curse have been passed to sect, and within months, the curse will be passed to us..." Mu Lao uttered.

The curse was powerful bevause it could kill any cultivator within 2 hours.

And death won't be peaceful because the curse will kill with utmost pain.

Frist the Dao heart is sealed, and slowly the blood vessels would be destroyed, the bones will start to rot with rapid speed and blood will turn thin.

The atmosphere grew tense as the weight of Mu Lao's words sank in.

The disciples exchanged worried glances, the gravity of the situation dawning on them.

"Is there truly no way to reverse it?" one of them asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Mu Lao shook his head solemnly. "The only way to stop the curse is to restore the statues to their rightful positions. If we cannot do that, we are all in grave danger because we will be the next target of the curse because we are close to that sect, we only have few days to prepare because thousands of people from out sect will start to die,"

In the darkness,

Five statue of gods glowed with eerie purple glow.

These were five cursed gods and they were also the reason why this world is sealed and no one could ascend.

They were all Senic orb holder and thousand of years ago they had offended a dragon.

The Dragon realizing that he couldn't kill them decoded to seal them all and put a curse.

However gods can grow stronger with two things.

Frist is Faith and second is sacrifice.

As someone who were sealed and cursed, thru couldn't gather faith form lots of people so, only option left for them was sacrifice.

And the one who brought the sacrifice... Well!

...

Years ago, long before Mu Lao became the pride of the Flower Blossom Sect, he was just another nameless disciple.

Medium talent but overlooked, overshadowed by those with greater influence or lineage.

The common chain of cultivation world.

It was during this time of frustration and mediocrity that Mu Lao stumbled upon a forbidden cave during one of his sect's training expeditions.

Drawn by an unexplainable force, Mu Lao ventured deeper into the cave, his lantern flickering wildly as the air grew heavier with an oppressive presence.

He eventually arrived at a grand chamber, its walls inscribed with ancient runes that seemed to whisper his name.

It was as if the devil was talking to him telling him that all his wished could be fulfilled.

At the center stood five statues, each depicting a god frozen mid-pose.

Their stone forms were cracked and worn, but their eyes glowed faintly with an otherworldly light.

The moment Mu Lao stepped closer, a voice spoke, not in words, but directly into his mind, which was cold and serpentine.

"Child of ambition... you seek greatness, yet the world denies you,"

Mu Lao froze, his breath caught in his chest.

"Who dares to speak?" he asked aloud, though no sound left his lips.

The glow in the statues' eyes intensified, and the whispers became distinct.

The gods spoke in unison, their voices weaving together like a web:

"We are the Five, sealed by the cowardly dragon who feared our might. We have waited centuries for one bold enough to stand before us. Do you crave power, Mu Lao? Do you long to rise above the sheep who trample your worth?"

Their words pierced the depths of Mu Lao's heart, stirring the resentment he had buried for years.

It was like he was hypnotized by the gods.

With that, deal was formed and Mu Lao was told to bring sacrifice every month.

And as the power of these gods slowly increased, one of them created that curse to gather more sacrifice.
