-What do you mean?
Jing asked, shocked at this development.
-I mean that you were never infertile.
You were cursed, so once the curse is removed, you should have no problem getting pregnant.
Paul answered.
He also had no idea about all of it just a moment ago, but once he modified the diagnosis technique, Lord Sei could identify the reason behind Jing's infertility and explained it to him.
-How does one even remove a curse?
Jing asked, still shocked at this revelation.
-There are many ways to do so.
Some people possess a physique that allows them to remove curses, or some people study curses and the ways of removing them, and of course, the one who cast that curse on you can also remove it.
Lastly, there are some potions and artifacts capable of removing curses.
Paul repeated what his soul said to him.
-Then are you also capable of removing curses?
Jing asked with hope in her voice, as it was no secret to her that finding someone or something capable of removing this curse would be anything but easy.
-I might be able to remove it, but I'll tell you right now that I have never done such a thing, so there is no way for me to guarantee that the removal will be successful.
Paul explained.
Sei had already told him that removing a curse is not much different from removing a seal.
The main difference between the two is that a seal uses only one type of mana or Qi, whereas curses use a combination of many types of mana and sometimes are even combined with Qi, which makes them more difficult to remove.
However, as an arch-mage and dual cultivator, he should not have any problem with assimilating many types of mana and qi at once.
-At least it's something.
I never heard of anyone or anything capable of removing a curse in the mortal realm, so you might be my only chance to get rid of it.
-If you want me to try and do so, then we can start immediately, but as I said, it would be my first time, so it might take a while, or even not work at all.
Paul reminded her.
-I'll take the risk, considering that you are the first one to even find the problem.
I doubt I'll be able to find anyone capable of removing it.
She said, agreeing.
Hearing that, Paul agreed to try to remove the curse.
He called over four of his ladies to help him hold the woman down in case something went wrong, before they went to the gazebo, where Jing had to lie down on the giant bed, and Paul had begun the procedure.
Using his mana, he connected strings to many parts of the curse.
As soon as he was certain that every part was connected, he started slowly absorbing the power of the curse, weakening it bit by bit.
At the same time, he absorbed all the mana and purified it, adding it to his own.
Three hours later, he was still at it and even gained four levels, but the cures looked like they had barely lost any power at all.
-Who the hell cast this thing on you?
Paul asked his patient while absorbing the mana.
By now, he was certain that whoever it was, he or she was definitely from a higher realm, since this curse was powered by enough mana to keep even Paul busy for days and give him a lot of levels, if not even full stages, before he drained it completely.
-It was an elder from a sect, and if what he said is true, then he was from the seventh realm.
Or at least I think it was him, since I can't think of anyone else who would have a reason to do this to me.
Jing answered.
This explained a lot, as such a person had hundreds, if not thousands, of times more power than Paul at his current stage.
-Do you have any idea why he would do this?
I can't imagine a cultivator from so high up to be bored enough to just curse you for no reason at all.
-He was trying to recruit me to his sect, but I refused since I have a lot of things to do down here.
Also, I'm not powerful enough to go to the upper realms, and I don't want to spend the next few centuries locked up until I'm strong enough to defend myself.
When I refused, he mumbled something about not allowing their enemies to use me before he disappeared, and I never saw him again.
Jing explained.
This made sense, but it didn't help in Paul's predicament, as he was almost certain that at this rate, he would ascend to the next realm long before he removed all the mana from the curse.
-Sei, do you have any way to transfer my mana to the ladies?
Paul asked in his thoughts.
He knew he could do it the same way he did for his father's family in his past life, but after the transfer, he had to purify it, and it took a while for them to absorb it.
-There is a way to do so, but you would need to use an array, and I doubt that your ladies will be able to absorb all this mana.
If my calculations are correct, you would need at least two hundred mages, or even more, to clear it all.
-Finding enough people is not a problem.
All we need to do is ask my uncle, the city lord, and our other friends for help, and I'm sure they will be more than happy to help, especially considering all the levels they would be able to gain.
With that, Paul stopped absorbing the power from the curse and explained his plan to Jing, who immediately agreed, since she wanted to get rid of this curse, and it truly seemed that Paul would not be able to absorb its power by himself.
They agreed to meet again in two days, to remove the curse, as it was the time necessary for Paul to prepare everything.
The ladies immediately agreed to help, since this would allow them to gain a lot of levels in a short time.
The next morning, Paul sent the ladies to inform everyone about this opportunity, and it didn't surprise him when everyone agreed to help.
Also, both Xiao Han and Lou Feng agreed to bring some guards with them to guard Paul's mansion, and if needed, to help absorb the energy.
Paul, on the other hand, relinquished control of his body to Lord Sei, who placed the array, which was very complicated, and even Paul himself doubted he could place it without making any mistakes.
-Why does this formation look like a reversed version of the one the elves used to help the Dryad transform?
Paul asked once the formation was ready, which, by the way, took them a whole day to place.
-Because it is.
His reincarnation soul answered.
-The differences are that you will be sending the mana you absorb to the people sitting in the circles, and it will also purify it, so all you need to do is absorb it and release it.
