Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear

Chapter 274: Great Witch Priest


"Due to your overly strong Danger Perception Talent, you sensed the Great Illusion King Insect three thousand miles away and voluntarily entered its hallucinogenic poison's attack range. After a bout of resistance, you were rescued by your concubine. Your Hallucinogenic Poison Resistance +1, currently at 3/100."

A line of information appeared expressionlessly, like a foul face.

Wang Wu woke up, only to find himself still in the Demon People's pigeon cage, with General Xuelang transformed into a Ninth-Grade Cat Demon, busily clearing mud outside.

As for himself, he was still in human form.

Touching his head, everything seemed normal, but recalling that bizarre dream within a dream, he still felt a headache.

"Old Wang, you're awake?"

General Xuelang had somehow appeared at the doorway, seductively standing there, the tail playfully twirling behind, but the issue wasn't that. Why had his Danger Perception suddenly dulled?

Wang Wu hurriedly opened the attribute bar, only to see his Danger Perception Talent glowing with a red dangerous light, followed by a countdown: 29 days, 6 hours, 38 minutes, 52 seconds.

What's going on?

Exhaustion?

Aftermath of deep activation?

Or self-protection after uncovering the truth?

Alternatively, was the hallucinogenic poison of the Great Illusion King Insect too intense?

"Are you alright? The situation was urgent at the time; you were still in the outbreak phase of the Great Illusion King Insect's hallucinogenic poison, so I had no choice but to knock you out with a rock."

General Xuelang's mouth curled up, seemingly in a good mood, with a sense of pleasure from a violent tendency being released.

You've finally shown your tail?

"Ah, I'm fine, you saved me again."

Wang Wu grinned, not from pain, but a numb feeling. Is this what it feels like when the Danger Perception Talent is sealed?

He's a bit worried, could he become a eunuch?

In one swift motion, he pressed the Cat Demon transformed from General Xuelang against the wooden board, biting its ear, "Turn into a human."

"What? Isn't it inappropriate, it's still daytime..." General Xuelang was dumbfounded, you won't even spare a cat?

"Hmm, no need..."

Wang Wu felt his own state and was quite satisfied,

"Wang Zhige, why are you so—shameless!" General Xuelang scolded, but still compliantly transformed into a human...

Then,

"No, I still have work to do!"

Yet the tone was inviting refusal, what a tease!

Wang Wu was stunned, damn!

Even if the Heavenly King himself descended today, he couldn't be stopped!

...

"Can we talk now? I always feel as if you've ascended to the fourth great realm of life, but yet it seems you haven't."

Inside the small pigeon cage, both Wang Wu and General Xuelang shrunk to just a few centimeters in size,

The main thing is, this is sufficient to shield the perception of any Fourth-Grade or below Human Race cultivator or Demon Race.

Truly as free as a celestial being.

"I was indeed poisoned by the Great Illusion King Insect yesterday." Wang Wu sorted out his thoughts. Although in the dream, Bear Mother wanted him to kill General Xuelang for alchemy, She Shoujiu opposed it.

The dream within a dream was too real.

But at this moment, he instead had a higher perspective, a more accurate, and real answer.

That is, Bear Mother and She Shoujiu were indeed dead; under normal circumstances, they couldn't influence him on a material level.

Even in the dream within a dream, it was his Danger Perception + hallucinogenic poison causing it, and Bear Mother and She Shoujiu were the personifications of his two thoughts.

Subconscious thoughts.

One distrusted General Xuelang, one trusted General Xuelang.

Or to put it in a more straightforward way, the 22.4-level Danger Perception + hallucinogenic poison allowed him to achieve the effect of Jiang Ziya + King Wen of Zhou + Yuan Tiangang interpreting dreams live on the spot.

It's equivalent to deciphering the mysterious Danger Perception.

So now there's only one question left, the secret that the Giant Whale mentioned, is it the question he speculated?

He is human!

I am human.

Is this considered a secret?

Wang Wu recited these three words dozens of times in his mind, yet felt no unease, because his Danger Perception was sealed.

So is this the real situation?

Because his Danger Perception was too high, reaching an unspeakable level, once this level knew he was human, or knew that he knew he was human, when actually he shouldn't have known—he is human?

"I feel that the poison of the Great Illusion King Insect has made my perception more acute and elusive, as if I've touched some indescribable truth..."

Wang Wu struggled to organize his words, hoping General Xuelang could understand.

In a dream within a dream, She Shoujiu, representing some subconscious of Wang Wu, said that General Xuelang knew this secret, but also said as long as one does not understand what the secret signifies, then it doesn't matter whether it is a secret or not.

It's like someone having an affair; to his wife, it's a secret, but to the taxi driver carrying him and his lover, it's not much of a secret at all!

General Xuelang nodded, "I understand, it's like a mortal who ate poisonous mushrooms, always feeling he's discovered the truth of the world, I can relate, no problem, poor little bear, no, a big bear..."

"I'm talking seriously! What else do you know about the Crying Baby Curse?" Wang Wu was speechless.

"I've told you everything I know. But truly, I've never seen an actual Crying Infant Beast. To be honest, if it weren't out of respect for you yesterday, based on my nature, I'd have watched how the Crying Infant Beast formed from the sidelines. Ah~ My king, I was wrong... Anyway, I know there's a demon who understands it well, but I don't know if it's still alive."

"Who is it?"

"Tiger Erha!"

"Who?"

"The grandfather of the Mad Tiger King of Heavenly Dao Mountain, he was once a subordinate of the Bear Demon Emperor, the Great Witch Priest of the West Desolate Demon Race!"

"Great Witch Priest? What does that mean? The West Desolate Demon Race consists of more than one group, why would there be a common Great Witch Priest?" Wang Wu finally heard this term once again.

"Because the Great Witch Priest itself isn't related to the groups, it's related to the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses. Um, these are my academy lectures, similar to mythological stories, actually, I didn't take it seriously before."

"So, if you want to understand the Great Witch Priest, you have to understand the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, can you?"

Wang Wu quickly nodded, and paid sincere attention in class.

"The so-called Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses usually have two definitions, one is geographical, no need to elaborate, and the other refers to altars communicating with the heavens, totaling twelve, each with a Great Witch Priest. According to legend, in ancient times, only those recognized by these twelve Great Witch Priests were qualified to become the Great Wilderness Demon Emperor. Anyway, that's the demon race legend. Back in the day, it was your mother who personally recounted this at the academy, I remember it clearly."

"However, I've lived in the West Wilderness for five hundred years, and have never seen a real Great Witch Priest, nor have I seen Tiger Erheng. In fact, I've been to Heavenly Dao Mountain many times, even the Mad Tiger King is vague about it."

"In fact, the name Tiger Erheng was also mentioned by your mother."

"That's all I know, are you going to look for Tiger Erheng?"

"Is it one of the Nine Great Heroes of the Wilderness?"

"No, Tiger Erheng is nameless in the historical records of the academy."

"Do you know of any other Great Witch Priests? Wasn't it said there are twelve?"

"I don't know; I only know one Tiger Erheng."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu contemplated for a long time before saying, "I want to stay, and continue to adapt to the hallucinogenic poison, it's always been my shortcoming."

General Xuelang also nodded, though with lingering fears, "It's really strange, the Great Illusion King Insect rarely attacks humans and the demon race, why is it so interested in you? Decades ago, Bu Er told me once, when you were near the Black Forest, you were attacked by the Great Illusion King Insect. If it wasn't for Bu Er saving you, you would have been doomed."

"Unexpectedly, decades later, I saved you once again, our mother and daughter truly owe you."

Seeing General Xuelang's low spirits, Wang Wu quickly reassured him, then said, "However, in the coming month, I won't be attacked by the Great Illusion King Insect, so I hope you will go into seclusion during this time and enhance your abilities."

"That's exactly what I wanted to say. Even with the Demon Pill of She Shoujiu, it's still not enough. Even if you don't retaliate, I can't stop you. A month of seclusion would be enough for me to complete Tongqiao cultivation. I plan to take the Spirit Communication Demon Pill route, all used to inscribe Wolf Gaze Divine Techniques, what do you think?"

"Isn't that too much of a grievance for you?" Wang Wu was stunned. At this level, one shouldn't leave a shortcoming. General Xuelang strengthening the Wolf Gaze Divine Techniques is clearly defining his role.

After all, the Wolf Gaze Divine Techniques cannot solve all problems.

General Xuelang smiled and gazed into the distance, "I am very well now, I want to start anew, but there's a premise, I hope one day, you can take me to kill Lu Wuchen, kill all his disciples, and find the real culprit who killed Bu Er, I want to turn them to dust! But at my current Wolf Level, it's not enough."

"Xiong Wu, we cannot repeat the mistakes of the Bear Demon Emperor being hunted down. You can't expect to solve all problems on your own, no matter how strong your Qi and Blood Circulation is, there will come a time when you are exhausted. You need more loyal followers, you need an invincible army that can sweep across the Great Wilderness."

General Xuelang's gaze was fervent, and Wang Wu looked at him, brewing for a long time, but couldn't dare to ask the question—"Do I look human to you?"

"It's too early to talk about this; wait until your Three Demon Pill System is fully formed. By the way, how do you evaluate that battle with the Giant Whale?"

Wang Wu suddenly thought of this question, he gained greatly from that battle, but he still wanted to hear a more professional opinion, because that Giant Whale was a Second-Grade Sea Demon, almost comparable to the Great Ape King, Mad Tiger King, and Centipede General.

So even now, he felt that General Xuelang was too crazy on that day, actually encouraging him to face a Second-Grade Great Demon head-on?

Aren't you afraid I'd actually die?

In short, the more he thought about it, the more doubts he had.
