As Meng Chuan secluded himself, the other Emperors and the Chaos Body of Yaoguang Holy Land continued their cultivation, and Great Accomplishment Sacred Body noticed a familiar red mark on himself.

• Meng Chuan sensed that the Boundary Sea was in the calm before a storm as darkness stirred, then heard the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body shouting outside his Small World.

• Meng Chuan took the Sacred Body’s impatience as an insult and decided he would Curse him rather than lift the Curse.

Meng Chuan explained the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body’s intermittent Red Hair and muteness as side effects of a Curse connected to Shi Hao, while secretly taking credit for it. After the Emperors left, Ruthless questioned Meng Chuan until he accidentally admitted that he had placed the Curse, leaving him exposed.
