You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 380 World Curse
The war that was about to unfold and decide the ruler of the entire Starsea Continent was not as grand and spectacular as imagined.

Because in wars between human cultivators, especially within the Star Sea Continent, the true determinants of victory are the high-ranking cultivators; no matter how many low-ranking cultivators come, it's of no use.

However, this does not mean that lower-level cultivators are useless.

The most direct factor in determining the strength of a region or world is the strength and prosperity of the living beings within that region, including humans, spirit beasts, insectoids, trees, and everything else that possesses life.

These things don't have much of an impact in civil wars, but they are different in wars against external forces, especially against creatures like demons.

When demons open the boundary barrier and invade a world, they will be suppressed and fiercely resisted by that world. The higher the level of hatred, the stronger the suppression they will face.

Therefore, under such circumstances, if only high-level combat power invades, unless it possesses the power to directly suppress a world, it will inevitably be greatly weakened and suppressed, and then killed by enemies of lower level.

This is a situation that no cultivator would want to face, so if the demons want to appear on the Star Sea Continent, they will inevitably bring a large army with them.

Only when countless beings from the opposing side face such suppressive power will this suppressive power be greatly weakened, preventing them from being killed by enemies of lower cultivation levels.

This illustrates the importance of stability and prosperity for all living beings in a world, and it's also why alien creatures like the Demon Insect King, who slaughter normal living beings, are hated by heaven and earth, and may even be cursed.

Many ancient books also record that many high-level cultivators who committed massacres encountered world curses. High-level cultivators who were cursed may encounter many problems, such as loss of spiritual power perception, physical decay, greatly reduced lifespan, and the emergence of inner demons. However, these problems are generally faced by cultivators with very high realms or who have slaughtered many living beings. Ordinary cultivators will only face these problems when the power of the lightning tribulation increases significantly during breakthroughs.

Qi Ping guessed that this was one of the reasons why the high-level cultivators of Tianlong Continent did not choose to kill him directly.

Killing a powerful immortal with great fortune may lead to problems such as backlash from the fortune, suppression from the world, or even a world curse.

Which Nascent Soul cultivator or Mahayana cultivator would dare to challenge these things?
Therefore, after thinking these questions through, Qi Ping realized that the main problem he was facing was the foreign army.

With high-level cultivators unwilling to intervene, the only remaining way to kill this Earth Immortal is to launch a large-scale war. For example, by using foreign forces to completely destroy the entire Star Sea Continent, severing the dragon veins, shattering the land, and causing widespread suffering, this Earth Immortal would rapidly decline. Furthermore, if Qi Ping, as an Earth Immortal, mishandles the situation, there's a high chance his fortune and other powers and authority could be weakened.
After considering the problem carefully, Qi Ping knew that whether it was for the power of the Earth Immortal Druid or to resist the invaders, he had to protect the majority of the living beings on the Star Sea Continent.

This is the capital that has increased his strength, and also the capital to deal with cultivators from outside the realm.

However, this kind of protection does not mean that Qi Ping needs to protect every cultivator and living being; reasonable killing is also allowed.

The most essential point is to promote the prosperity of the Star Sea Continent in a reasonable way. As long as this can be achieved, the unpredictable power of the Heavenly Dao will be enough to detect it. In particular, the protective power of Qi Ping's current fortune is too strong. As long as he does not do anything too outrageous, he will basically not be negatively affected by the Heavenly Dao.

What Qi Ping needs to do now is to swiftly and decisively eliminate all the cultivators from the continent who are leaning towards Tianlong.

After finding the little immortal tiger, Qi Ping immediately informed the tiger of all the information about the cultivators that needed to be calculated.

At this moment, the little fairy tiger stood in front of Qi Ping, and its appearance was very different from before.

After exploring almost the entire underground world of the Star Sea Continent, and with the resources provided by Qi Ping, the Little Immortal Tiger has now undergone two bloodline transformations.

Especially since most of Qi Ping's animal companions have gone to the Forest Sea Demon Realm, the Little Stone Spirit only needs ores and weapons, while the Golden Marrow Bees, Earth Vein Ants, and Void Fish Swarms only need specific resources. Therefore, most of the resources that Qi Ping has collected and cultivated to help with transformation and becoming stronger have been piled up on the Little Immortal Tiger.

With such strong support, the Little Celestial Tiger's two bloodline transformations were surprisingly effective.

Especially during the second transformation eight years ago, Qi Ping almost exhausted the power of the entire Azure Sky Domain, and even exchanged for many water-attribute spiritual objects and spiritual objects related to fortune on the Star Sea Continent in order to enhance the bloodline of the little immortal tiger.

Surprisingly, Qi Ping found a mysterious stone tablet at a low price that could inflict curses and increase bad luck on people.

Qi Ping was mainly curious about this thing; he couldn't believe that such a magical thing existed in the world.

At the same time, I also want to see if I can stimulate the growth of the little fairy tiger's bloodline in reverse.

Unexpectedly, this casual action actually worked. Under the stimulation from the opposite direction, the little fairy tiger gained a deeper understanding of the essence of the power of good fortune, and its bloodline successfully awakened under the burst of this power.

The second transformation eight years ago was brought about by this mysterious cursed stone tablet.

However, after confirming that the power of this mysterious stone tablet seemed truly unfathomable, he placed this strange stone tablet in the boundary sea next to the Star Sea Continent, which connects many worlds, and protected and hid it with an array.

Even Qi Ping was afraid to have such a strange thing around him!

Now, whenever Little Fairy Tiger wants to use this power to stimulate itself, it needs to rely on the power of the teleportation array to go there.

However, the little fairy tiger's second transformation was completely triggered by this power.

After the transformation began, Qi Ping used a potential activation technique to directly unleash the various powerful spiritual forces accumulated within the little immortal tiger's body.

Stimulated by multiple forces, the little immortal tiger's second transformation was extremely unexpected. Its bloodline directly transformed from the original fourth-order superior grade to the fifth-order top grade, reaching the batch of fifth-order bloodlines that were closest to the sixth order.

There is a great chance for a bloodline of this level to break through to the Void Refinement stage, especially since the little immortal tiger has already reached this level after just undergoing its transformation. Reaching the sixth rank in the future is not too difficult. Once it matures, this level will be a proper Void Refinement stage.

For a spirit beast like the Little Celestial Tiger, which possesses the bloodline of the auspicious divine beast Bai Ze, the power it can unleash is absolutely terrifying. Fighting against such a spirit beast means not only having to endure its ability to anticipate your moves, but also having to endure its overwhelming luck. You might even encounter negative states such as frequent mistakes and recurring hidden injuries.
After this transformation, Little Celestial Tiger's strength successfully increased to the late stage of Nascent Soul.

Now, the Bai Ze bloodline within him has become terrifyingly concentrated. At first glance, he is almost a miniature Bai Ze, making him an extremely rare and auspicious beast.

Therefore, Qi Ping has to bring this guy along in this battle no matter what; he'd be a great accessory.

Now, when the little immortal tiger walks to Qi Ping's side, Qi Ping can feel that sacred power of fortune. This is why Qi Ping dares to let this little tiger, who has not even reached the Nascent Soul stage, deduce and calculate the number one Void Refinement cultivator of the mysterious Star Sea Continent.

“But that’s not enough.” Qi Ping’s eyes narrowed, and then his divine sense surged wildly, and an extremely strong will erupted from Qi Ping!
In an instant, a mysterious and incomparable power rose up throughout the entire Azure Sky Domain, and then quickly gathered in Qi Ping's hand!

At this moment, countless cultivators sensed something and noticed a slight change in the region, but with their strength, they were unable to detect the presence of the power of destiny.

However, the eighteen top sect leaders, led by Meng Tianqi, were shocked!

"Such a massive transport capacity!"

"very scary!"

Such powerful fortune is far beyond what all of them combined could achieve!

Moreover, the power of destiny is incredibly mysterious, and even cultivators at the Void Refinement stage cannot control it. Yet Qi Ping was able to manipulate this power, and on such a scale, which completely overturned their understanding.

"Senior Bee is even more powerful than we imagined! We really don't know how many more trump cards and strengths Senior Bee is hiding!"

After Qi Ping gathered the power of destiny, he controlled all the creatures that surrounded the little immortal tiger like soldiers.

Fortunately, the little immortal tiger is a lucky beast. If it were any other cultivator or spirit beast, even with Qi Ping's control, it would still be difficult to obtain the protection and recognition of this power of fortune. This mysterious power cannot be controlled by ordinary means. Even a Mahayana cultivator cannot truly control this power. Qi Ping can only barely utilize a portion of it now by relying on his identity as an Earth Immortal Druid.

Even this small portion is amazing enough!
Under the blessing of this power of fortune, the little immortal tiger's bloodline power surged instantly and became incredibly active, its aura reaching an unprecedented level at this moment.

Then, the little tiger quickly began its deduction, using this power.
Just as Little Immortal Tiger began his calculations, on a mysterious and vast mountain peak in the Star Sea Continent, an incredibly powerful being with an aura of terrifying strength suddenly opened his eyes!
Beneath him lies the only sixth-order spiritual vein on the Star Sea Continent!
An incredibly massive spirit-gathering array relentlessly and continuously absorbs the spiritual energy of the entire Star Sea Continent!
Countless rare medicinal herbs and spiritual objects, which are rare in the outside world, are scattered here like weeds!
The number one spiritual land on the Star Sea Continent!

This place possesses all the most wondrous items of the Star Sea Continent!
However, all of this paled in comparison to the figure in the center of this territory!
She was a woman so beautiful that a single glance could make countless cultivators fall for her. Her extraordinary appearance and unique cultivator aura alone were enough to make countless powerful cultivators succumb. Then, her aura surged and she died!
However, what is even more striking than her appearance is the terrifying aura emanating from this woman—a perfected Void Refinement Realm!

And those indifferent, heartless eyes! They seemed to hold endless cycles of life and death within them!

"Is someone analyzing me?"

A strange look appeared on the woman's face, followed by a mocking smile.

For countless millennia, there have always been some foolish ants trying to deduce her fate.

She showed no mercy to these reckless fools, letting them die.

Although she is not a Celestial Mystery cultivator, she has cultivated for so many years that she has naturally mastered some Celestial Mystery techniques. She even has the ability to protect treasures with her own fortune. She is most familiar with the Celestial Mystery Counterattack method, because ever since she embarked on the path of cultivation, people have been trying to speculate about her background.

"Annoying ants!"

Although the woman said this, her expression remained unchanged.

Because if she doesn't want to have any emotions, she won't have any emotions.

Over countless years of cultivation, her family, friends, lovers, and even the countless generations of disciples she had taken on all disappeared into the long river of time.

The servants around him died one after another.

So over the years, she has long since lost any interest in these things.

Now, she knows no one on the entire Starsea Continent.

This continent, which she had explored countless times, no longer held any secrets or things that could pique her interest.

The only things that still attract her now are breakthroughs and immortality.

She considered devouring everything on the entire Star Sea Continent as resources for her advancement to the Integration Stage, but after calculation, she discovered that even if she devoured everything on the entire Star Sea Continent, the chances of successfully advancing would be extremely slim.

However, if she dares to do this, the world curse will probably be unavoidable, and her path to immortality will be completely severed.

She had considered leaving the Star Sea Continent to seek an opportunity to break through to the Fusion Realm elsewhere, and had even tried, but she returned severely injured several times, and even nearly died. In the end, she survived only thanks to the protection of the Star Sea Continent.

The most recent injury is still not fully healed.

She had originally planned to continue her search after her injuries healed. Although she no longer held much hope for it, she would not give up even if there was only a sliver of a chance!
It was at this moment that a mysterious cultivator from the Tianlong Continent came to visit.

This is a guy who holds an important position in the Tianlong Continent.

This person promised that as long as she helped eliminate that Earth Immortal from the Azure Sky Domain, he would help her fully integrate into the Heavenly Dragon Continent, ensuring that she would not be rejected by the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Furthermore, after the matter was successfully accomplished, he would provide her with the resources to break through to the Integration Stage.

After careful consideration, she agreed, but also required the cultivator from Tianlong Continent to sign the strictest contract and make the strictest oath to the Heavenly Dao.

Xinghai, her home, held no meaning for her other than healing, and had long since lost all hope.

Not to mention that earth immortal who appeared out of nowhere; once he's gone, so be it.
What difference is there between the Earth Immortal Bee Taoist and the little ant currently calculating and interpreting her?
