In the Grand Void World, the Immortal Yao Pool Domain, within the Yao Family.
At the secluded dwelling of the Yao Family's Old Ancestor, Gu Youxian floated in the air, unconscious.
Gu Youxian's condition was extremely dire. Surrounding his body was a bizarre black energy, like a haunting curse, causing him to lose consciousness and be on the verge of death.
The Yao Family's Immortal King Old Ancestor sent a ray of divine light into Gu Youxian's body, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, not only failing to dispel the strange black energy but instead seeming to nourish it, causing the bizarre black energy to visibly grow stronger.
Seeing this, the Yao Family Old Ancestor's expression changed slightly, and he dared not act rashly again.
"Old Ancestor, what exactly happened to Gu Youxian?"
Yao Tianchen, who was beside him, hurriedly asked.
The Yao Family Old Ancestor sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, his current condition is due to being cursed."
"A curse?" Yao Tianchen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What kind of curse could render you helpless?"
"The Fallen Immortal Curse!"
The Yao Family Old Ancestor uttered these three words with a heavy tone.
"What?"
Even with Yao Tianchen's millions of years of experience, he was filled with shock upon hearing "Fallen Immortal Curse."
"How could the Fallen Immortal Curse appear in our Grand Void World?" Yao Tianchen asked, puzzled.
The Yao Family Old Ancestor pondered for a moment, then said, "The Fallen Immortal Curse comes from the Fallen Heaven Great World. Perhaps a strong individual from the Fallen Heaven Great World sent their junior to our Grand Void World to train, and unfortunately, Gu Youxian encountered them and formed a grudge, thus being afflicted with this Fallen Immortal Curse."
"However... the person who cast this Fallen Immortal Curse on Gu Youxian has gone too far. A dignified Immortal King actually attacked a Quasi-Supreme Realm cultivator, even using such a vicious curse."
At the end, a hint of anger flashed across the Yao Family Old Ancestor's face. The Fallen Immortal Curse on Gu Youxian was definitely caused by an Immortal King-level expert. If the opponent were a True Immortal cultivator, even if the Fallen Immortal Curse were more vicious and difficult to deal with, he would have full confidence in dispelling it. Only an Immortal King-level expert would make this Fallen Immortal Curse so troublesome that even he found it difficult.
"What should we do?" Yao Tianchen's expression became extremely solemn upon hearing this. If Devour was here, it wouldn't be difficult to undo the curse, but unfortunately, his wife had just returned to her family's home a few days ago. His wife wasn't from the Yao Pool Immortal Domain but from another Immortal Domain, incredibly distant from the Yao Pool Immortal Domain. Naturally, Devour had to go with her, after all, Devour was left behind by the Longevity Emperor to protect his unborn daughter.
The Yao Family Old Ancestor said, "The Immortal King who attacked Gu Youxian seems to intentionally want to torment him, so the Fallen Immortal Curse didn't immediately take his life but is instead like a slow-acting poison, slowly eroding his body and soul."
"How vicious!" Yao Tianchen gasped, a dignified Immortal King expert, revered by countless living beings, now not only attacked someone who hadn't even stepped into the Supreme Realm but also used such a vile curse. Fallen Immortal Curse, as the name suggests, even an immortal who is afflicted by this curse will be knocked off the immortal path, dying and disappearing.
If this were known to other Immortal Kings, they would probably laugh their heads off, because doing so would greatly damage their dignity as Immortal Kings.
But the most urgent task was not to laugh at this Immortal King expert but to figure out how to save Gu Youxian.
"However..."
Suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed across the Yao Family Old Ancestor's face, but the next moment, he suddenly understood.
"No wonder he was able to hold on until he returned to our Yao family. I forgot that he is the direct grandson of the Longevity Emperor. Tianchen, you should have the Longevity Emperor's contact information. Quickly, contact the Emperor, otherwise, even if Gu Youxian has the Emperor's blood flowing in him, he won't be able to hold on for long. After all, he is only in the Quasi-Supreme Realm, and the gap between him and an Immortal King is truly boundless."
The Yao Family Old Ancestor said to Yao Tianchen.
There was an extremely profound power within Gu Youxian's body resisting the curse power of the Fallen Immortal Curse. This power allowed Gu Youxian to fall into a coma only after returning to the Yao family. Initially, the Yao Family Old Ancestor was still wondering even if the other party wanted to torment Gu Youxian, Gu Youxian couldn't possibly hold on for too long, but now he remembered that Gu Youxian was the direct grandson of the Longevity Emperor.
Who was the Longevity Emperor? At least a Immortal Emperor expert. If Gu Youxian's cultivation wasn't too far from the Immortal King, even if Gu Youxian was just a newly True Immortal, he could resist the Fallen Immortal Curse with the power of his bloodline.
It was a pity that Gu Youxian's cultivation was only Quasi-Supreme, still a distance from the Supreme Realm, let alone becoming an immortal.
Now, they could only ask the Longevity Emperor to take action.
Upon hearing this, Yao Tianchen slapped his forehead. He had forgotten that Gu Changsheng had left him a jade slip when he left.
Yao Tianchen took out the teleportation jade slip that Gu Changsheng had left him. He injected a surge of energy into the jade slip. The next moment, the jade slip shot out a beam of light, not staying here for a moment, and disappeared. Even the Yao Family Old Ancestor didn't know how this beam of light left.
"Hopefully, Gu Youxian can hold on until the Emperor arrives."
After Yao Tianchen put away the jade slip, he glanced at Gu Youxian, whose aura was gradually weakening. According to the current situation, Gu Youxian could only last for three more hours at most.
"Now, we can only leave it to fate!" The Yao Family Old Ancestor was also helpless. If Gu Youxian had more time, he might have been confident in dispelling the Fallen Immortal Curse, but the certainty wasn't very high. From the Fallen Immortal Curse, he could see that the Immortal King who took action was stronger than him.
He was just an ordinary Immortal King who had recently been promoted to Immortal King, while the one who attacked Gu Youxian was, based on the remaining aura, at least a top Immortal King.
Just as they were anxious, the void beside them twisted for a moment, and Gu Changsheng, dressed in a green robe, walked out.
Just as the Yao Family Old Ancestor and Yao Tianchen were about to salute, Gu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
After saying that, Gu Changsheng walked to Gu Youxian and looked at the painful expression on his grandson's face. A nameless fire rose in Gu Changsheng's heart.
"What I hate most is bullying the weak, I didn't expect someone to bully my grandson, good!"
Gu Changsheng's voice was low. He really hated bullying the weak, otherwise, he wouldn't have set up a gatekeeper on every planet in every level of the Ancient Starry Sky Road, just to prevent old monsters from bullying the weak.
But now his grandson was actually being bullied, and with such a vicious curse, this had touched his bottom line.
The Yao Family Old Ancestor and Yao Tianchen exchanged glances. They could both feel that the Longevity Emperor was already angry.
Indeed, if their sons and grandsons were being bullied, they would also be angry. This was completely different from competition among peers or in the same realm.
At the same time, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the Fallen Heaven Great World.
