On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

A black aura oozed out of the sleeping old man\'s body.

Using his Chaos Insight, Chen Tian was able to see skulls floating around the old man\'s head, accompanied by eerie whispers that sent shivers down anyone who would see them.

The curse seemed to have taken hold of the old man, slowly draining him of his life force.

"Something like this cannot be done this easily," Chen Tian muttered, his eyes fixed on the old man\'s deteriorating state.

Curses are a mysterious and potent force within the world of cultivation.

There are cultivators who use the power of curses to kill their enemies or gain an upper hand in battles.

Curses are not to be taken lightly; they are the tools of those who walk the dark path of cultivation, where power and consequences are intertwined.

In the world of cultivators, there are different types of curses and ways to cast them. They can be incantations, complex rituals or channeled by an object, often requiring mysterious knowledge and profound spiritual insights.

These practitioners channel them through their own essences to unleash curses upon their targets.

Curses can take many forms, from simple evils that bring bad luck to elaborate spells that afflict an enemy with a relentless, debilitating unease.

Some cultivators specialize in curses that can eat away at the life span of a person or damage someone\'s cultivation.

Others conjure curses that bind spirits or creatures to their will, creating powerful familiars or guardians.

However, the use of curses comes with a heavy price.

There are even curses that exact a toll on the cultivator\'s own life force and spiritual energy.

Overindulgence in curses can lead to corruption of the soul and a descent into darkness.

Many cultivators hate cultivators who use curses excessively, as it not only poses a threat to their own well-being but also to the balance of the spiritual realm.

Curses are known to be powerful and difficult to break.

Chen Tian realized that if he didn\'t find a way to remove the curse soon, the old man\'s life would be in grave danger.

"Maybe I should help him..."

The curse that the old man had fallen victim to was particularly sinister, known to slowly drain the life force of its victim until there was nothing left but a shell.

From the energy around the curse, Chen Tian could feel that it was a low-level curse, which meant it could potentially be broken with the right knowledge and resources.

"See it as fate that we met, old man," Chen Tian remarked with a wry smile.

He approached the old man cautiously, wary of the curse\'s effects.

With a determined glint in his eyes, he took the old man\'s right hand.

His hands were warm and wrinkled, evidence of a long life filled with experiences.

Chen Tian could feel the faint pulse of the curse coursing through the old man\'s veins, a reminder of the impending danger.

With a deep breath, he closed his eyes and began to channel his own energy.

The old man\'s time was running out, and Chen Tian could sense that the curse was gradually weakening his frail body.

The old would only be able to live for a couple of days at most, Chen Tian thought to himself.

"Your lucky old man," Chen Tian thought to himself.

If Chen Tian hadn\'t met the old man, he would probably be dead.

Right when he was going to help the old man...

|Creak|

The door to the room burst open, surprising Chen Tian.

"Grandpa, Ming Ming has come to visit you!"

A girl with long, flowing black hair and a beautiful smile rushed into the room.

She was wearing a vibrant red dress that complemented her fair complexion.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with a youthful energy that radiated from her.

A frown replaced her smile immediately.

"Who are you? Why are you in Grandpa\'s room?!"

The girl was now on guard, her eyes narrowing as she assessed the unfamiliar presence of Chen Tian in the room.

She stepped closer to her grandfather, protectively placing herself between him and Chen Tian.

"Answer me!" she demanded, her voice filled with anger.

"W-Wait I..." Chen Tian wanted to explain himself, but the girl cut him off with a dismissive wave of her hand.

Her stance remained defensive, her eyes never leaving him. "Don\'t tell me you\'re an assassin!"

The girl continued to stare at Chen Tian, her eyes never wavering from his face. "I won\'t let you harm my grandfather," she declared, her voice resolute.

"What is this girl talking about? Girl, let me explain," Chen Tian shouted in his head.

The girl wasn\'t letting Chen Tian say a word.

She seemed adamant in her belief that he posed a threat to her grandfather.

Chen Tian looked taken aback by her accusation, his eyes widening in surprise.

"No, no, I\'m not an assassin," he stammered, trying to reassure her.

But the girl wasn\'t convinced. She maintained her defensive stance, ready to protect her grandfather at all costs.

Chen Tian quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, his heart sinking at the realization that his intentions may have been misunderstood.

Chen Tian could see the determination in her eyes, and it made him realize that he needed to find a way to gain her trust.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to speak again, hoping to calm her fears and clear up any misunderstandings.

Chen Tian recognized her as the old man\'s granddaughter from her attitude and how she called the old man.

He wanted to explain that he had no ill intentions and that he only wished to help her grandfather.

But the girl attacked Chen Tian suddenly, her fists flying towards him with a fiery rage.

Startled, Chen Tian barely had time to react as he dodged her punches, trying to defend himself without causing her any harm.

"Wait, miss your mistaken I..."

"Shut up, you damn assassin! How dare you try and assassinate my grandfather again? Take this!!" The girl yelled, her voice filled with fury.

Chen Tian could see the pain and anger in her eyes, and he realized that she had misunderstood the situation entirely.

With a heavy heart, he continued to evade her relentless assault, desperately searching for a way to calm her down and prove his innocence.

Chen Tian could have stopped her, but he was concerned that he might harm the girl by accident.

He realized he was in the wrong for being here without providing an explanation first.

So he only avoided her attacks, never retaliating, hoping that his refusal to fight back would eventually get through to her.

However, instead of controlling her, his actions only further enraged the girl. Her attacks grew increasingly aggressive, fueled by pure anger.

Chen Tian was surprised by her attacks. He could feel that the girl\'s attacks weren\'t ordinary.

He used his spiritual sense to analyze the girl\'s body, and his eyes widened in astonishment.

Her body was strong for a woman at such a young age, and her movements were filled with a raw power that surpassed anything a mortal body could possess.

If Chen Tian had to make an estimate, she appeared to possess the strength of a cultivator at the 4th Stage of Body Refinement Realm.

"Are there cultivators on Earth?!" Chen Tian thought in disbelief.

As a cultivator himself, he had always believed that he was the only one with such abilities on Earth.

But now, faced with this young girl who possessed an extraordinary power, he couldn\'t help but question his beliefs.

Perhaps there were other cultivators on earth, hidden in the shadows, waiting to be discovered.

This encounter opened up a whole new world of possibilities for Chen Tian, and he couldn\'t wait to uncover the truth behind this mysterious girl and her incredible strength.

"No, this isn\'t like a real cultivator! This girl\'s body is different from the cultivator who trained to enter the Body Refinement Realm," Chen Tian pondered quietly, his curiosity piqued.

He took a deep breath, mustering up all his courage, and finally managed to grab hold of the girl\'s arms, restraining her from any further attacks.

"What are you?" Chen Tian asked, his voice filled with both wonder and confusion. The girl\'s eyes glowed with fierce determination as she struggled against his grip, her strength seemingly unmatched.

Chen Tian couldn\'t help but be captivated by her power, wondering how someone on earth could possess such incredible abilities.

"You!! Damn bastard, let me go!!" The girl hissed through gritted teeth; her voice was loud and filled with rage. Chen Tian could feel the intensity of her emotions and the raw energy emanating from her.

"Please, listen to me," he pleaded, trying to match the intensity in her eyes with the sincerity in his voice.

"I\'m not here to harm your grandfather. I can help him." Slowly, the girl\'s anger began to subside as she gazed into Chen Tian\'s eyes, searching for the truth in his words.

Right as the girl was about to speak.

|Bam|

The door of the room was flung open, causing both Chen Tian and the girl to jump.

Entering the room were a number of men dressed in black suits and sunglasses, their stern expressions reflecting their seriousness.

They surrounded Chen Tian and the girl, creating an intimidating presence.

Chen Tian\'s heart raced as he realized the people surrounding him.

"Fuck"
