Jia Meng gritted his teeth and tried again! He poured his spiritual power into the Spirit Bone, but it still wouldn't budge.

He quickly adjusted his breathing and gathered his focus.

The power of his creation flowed rapidly, and the curse in his mouth also began to surge.

This time, the light on the Spirit Bone flickered, but just as it was about to be completed, the flow of spiritual power showed signs of instability again.

Jia Meng gritted his teeth and muttered, "What exactly went wrong?"

But he didn't give up. Instead, he continued to refine the formations in his dantian, as if contemplating the next step, and comparing them to the formations that had failed before.

"It must be a mistake. This time it will definitely succeed!"

Jia Meng finally found the source of the problem. His eyes regained their clarity, and he stood up again.

He displayed his formations once more. This time, not a single detail was overlooked.

The light flickered and changed, and a perfect Spirit Bone formation appeared before his eyes.

Jia Meng slumped onto the ground, a relieved smile on his face.

"Next, I'll be able to successfully summon the Five Willows."

Recently, Jia Meng had been wholeheartedly studying the Spirit Bone formation, consuming a lot of spiritual energy. He planned to rest for a day or two before trying again.

Suddenly, a day later, Jia Meng stood up and sent a message to the Five Willows.

"Five Willows, where are you? I have something to find you for."

Jia Meng's voice was filled with anticipation.

"I've successfully created the formation. This means I've succeeded by half."

The remaining time would be handed over to the Five Willows to run errands. Therefore, Jia Meng's heart also relaxed a lot.

"I'm currently in the wilderness practicing techniques. Today is a rare day. You suddenly contacted me, Five Willows. How can I not be overjoyed?"

The Five Willows' voice came from the communication stone, filled with emotion.

"You speak in riddles, I don't understand. When you finish your task, we'll meet again."

Jia Meng replied briefly.

"That's good. For now, I can only tell you that you have something to do with the Five Willows. Even the Divine Curse Sect has been involved."

Jia Meng's message was full of emotion as he replied to the Five Willows.

"If you want to know, then I'm happy. You've painstakingly helped me, I'll be right there."

The Five Willows quickly replied, overjoyed.

Jia Meng felt the Five Willows' excitement from his spiritual sense.

Jia Meng finished sending the message and walked out of the room. He took a few bottles of wine from the icebox and placed them on the table, intending to entertain the Five Willows and Xia Bu later.

Suddenly, he heard a "clink" sound, as if something had hit the protective barrier he had placed around the house.

He opened the door and saw that the Five Willows and Xia Bu were already waiting outside the formation.

Xia Bu was dressed exquisitely, and he looked at Jia Meng with a smile.

The Five Willows was wearing a black high-necked outfit. He held a wine glass in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, leaning casually against Jia Meng.

"You're really fast. I didn't expect your technology to reach such a level, Five Willows!"

Jia Meng said with a smile.

"It's not bad. I originally wanted to go around the formation and come directly to you. As a result, I bumped into the barrier."

The Five Willows shook his head and said.

"I originally wanted to play with the Divine Curse Sect for a while, but since you're looking for me, I can only finish setting it up early. After finding Brother Xia, I'll come over."

The Five Willows shrugged and said with a smile.

"Then what is it? I can only tell you after I see it, Five Willows."

The Five Willows asked curiously.

Jia Meng smiled and handed the Five Willows a few bottles of fine wine from the icebox, placing them on the table.

The three of them sat down and enjoyed the delicious wine, chatting and laughing.

Outside the window, the night was dark, and the moonlight shone through the gaps in the roof, adding a touch of quiet beauty to the courtyard.

"What's wrong? Is someone from the Divine Curse Sect also practicing formations?"

The Five Willows' clear eyes flickered with a hint of light.

Jia Meng's face turned red. He was usually calm, but his heart was filled with emotion.

"It's nothing. It's just that there are some people who are not clear, but they definitely exist. And most of them are people I've summoned, Jia Meng."

The Five Willows shook his head. He looked at Jia Meng as if judging the truth of his words.

"Are you trying to challenge the formations of my clan?"

Jia Meng exhaled a breath of smoke, his gaze fixed on the opponent.

"I am here to challenge the pinnacle of the Curse... Whether it's the Jia Meng family or any other clan, as long as they obstruct the development of the Seven Seas, they will be wiped out."

"It's just a coincidence that no one from my Jia Meng family has appeared in the Seven Seas for so long. This is enough to provoke my fighting spirit."

He narrowed his eyes, a hint of a smile on his lips.

"Also, the former commander of the Seven Seas, you are my sworn enemy. If I had known earlier that you would be the one, I would have dealt with you long ago. What have you been doing lately?"

Jia Meng chuckled, his voice filled with a playful tone. "You, who used to be a subordinate, now have the demeanor of a master."

Wu Xing'er smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "I'm just telling the truth. Even if the heavens were to fall, I would still be able to hold it up."

"Then what are the results?"

Jia Meng's curiosity was piqued.

Wu Xing'er fiddled with her fingers, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

"Currently, there is no such thing."

"It's not easy to find the 'Curse Son' that fell from the heavens. Ordinary people like me can't find it. At the very least, I need to be a 'Curse Son' to have a chance."

Wu Xing'er took another sip.

"Forget it. It just so happens that I have a good seedling, so I'll do you a favor."

Jia Meng was surprised, and he took out a photo, handing it to Wu Xing'er.

"Please look at this child's name. His name is Yuan Dao, the son of Yuan Zhen, one of the three great families of Japan. It can be considered your destiny."

"I investigated him. He is the 'Curse Son' that fell from the heavens. You can investigate him yourself."

Wu Xing'er took the photo and carefully examined the eyes and face of the child in the photo, her eyes flashing with emotion.

"My own son? I don't even know if I have a son. Where did you get this from?"

Jia Meng smiled broadly, his voice filled with a hint of pride.

"I also investigate the 'Curse Realm' before making a decision. I didn't expect to encounter it so easily."

Wu Xing'er pouted, clearly not believing him.

"Your 'Curse Son' is a great treasure. How could you encounter it so easily?"

Jia Meng chuckled, his eyes shining.

"My fate is that I am very sensitive to the 'Curse Son'. It just so happened that I sensed the smell of your blood on him, so I specifically investigated. I didn't expect to find something truly unexpected."

Jia Meng acted as if he had found a young man with the power of a 'Curse Son' on the street and was selling him, making Wu Xing'er's face darken.
