Chapter 343: Pangu Hall

Su Chen did not rush to reply; he looked at Hou Tu and waited for her to finish speaking.

Hou Tu did not urge him either; she returned to the front of the high platform, turned to face Su Chen, and her tone returned to that calm and unhurried peace.

"The Pangu Hall is the supreme holy land of our Wu Clan and has never been stepped on by outsiders. I cannot make this decision alone and need to discuss it with Big Brother Di Jiang."

"But I can promise you another thing."

Hou Tu raised her hand and pointed to Su Chen's chest.

"You said your physical body has touched the upper limit of this technique and you want to go further."

Su Chen nodded.

Hou Tu said: "If you are willing to lend the complete technique, I will take this technique to the Pangu Hall and study it together with the other Ancestral Wu."

"The twelve Ancestral Wu will work together to deduce and help you break the upper limit of this technique."

Su Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this.

The limit of the *Thirty-Six Axes of the Heavenly Gang* was a physical body at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, and he had been stuck at this step for a long time.

On Mount Wuzhi, with the help of Pangu pressure, he had vaguely touched a direction, but that direction was too vague; relying on his own strength, he didn't know how many years it would take to walk through it.

And the twelve Ancestral Wu were the creators of this technique.

Having the creators personally help him deduce the breakthrough path—this kind of opportunity should not happen a second time.

Su Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart.

"Ancestral Wu, is this true?"

Hou Tu looked at him, her tone indifferent: "Our Wu Clan stands between heaven and earth and disdains empty words."

Su Chen no longer hesitated.

"Alright."

He held up the *Pangu True Form Picture* with both hands, the light of the innate Dao scripts on the scroll flowing between the two.

"Ancestral Wu, this technique is named *Thirty-Six Axes of the Heavenly Gang*, and today I will let you have a look."

Hou Tu took the scroll and stared at it.

Her gaze swept over the scroll, and the thirty-six axe techniques hidden in the Pangu true form, the Qi and blood transport methods, and the method of drawing in the evil Qi of the stars to temper the body slowly appeared in her eyes.

She watched for a long time before slowly rolling up the scroll and putting it away solemnly.

"I will return the scroll to you after I have finished studying it."

Su Chen nodded.

Afterward, the two of them, under the witness of Mount Wuzhi, each made a Great Dao oath.

As the oath fell, the laws of heaven and earth responded with a roar, and an invisible contract was branded into the Dao foundation of both.

Once the Great Dao oath was made, it could not be violated; otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would backlash, and their cultivation would be destroyed.

Hou Tu tucked the scroll into her sleeve and looked at Su Chen: "Pack up, and follow me to the Pangu Hall."

Su Chen was about to respond when Hou Tu suddenly paused.

"There is one thing I need to remind you."

Hou Tu's tone was still gentle, but Su Chen could hear a bit of caution in her words.

"In the Pangu Hall, besides me, there are several other Ancestral Wu stationed there. Among them are a few... whose temperaments are violent and who are extremely repulsive to outsiders. Especially toward the Demon Clan."

Her gaze passed over Su Chen and looked toward the direction of the hall door.

"If your companion goes with you, it might cause trouble. The Pangu Hall is not like this Hou Tu tribe; if the temper of those few Ancestral Wu flares up, even I won't be able to stop them."

Su Chen understood what she meant.

The Hou Tu tribe had Hou Tu sitting in town, and she said Sun Wukong was a guest, so no one dared to move.

But the Pangu Hall was a place governed by the twelve Ancestral Wu together, and Hou Tu was only one of them.

Su Chen was silent for two breaths and nodded.

"I will go tell him."

Su Chen turned and strode out of the hall.

Outside the hall, Sun Wukong was leaning against a giant bone stone pillar, the Ruyi Jingu Bang lying across his knees, his legs propped up, resting with his eyes closed.

Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes.

His golden pupils swept over Su Chen from top to bottom, and seeing that he was unharmed, his tense shoulders relaxed.

"Finished talking?"

"Finished talking." Su Chen squatted beside him and told him the whole story.

Sun Wukong did not speak immediately after listening.

He lowered his head and drew two marks on the ground with the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

"So, you have to go to that Pangu Hall alone, and I can't go."

"Hmm."

"How long?"

"Not sure." Su Chen said truthfully. "It might be a long time."

Sun Wukong drew two more marks.

The marks on the ground were crooked; he didn't know what he was drawing.

"Monkey Brother..."

"Alright."

Sun Wukong stood up abruptly and slung the Ruyi Jingu Bang over his shoulder.

He turned around, facing Su Chen, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Go ahead. Such a great opportunity is in front of you; if you don't go, I would look down on you."

Su Chen looked at him.

Sun Wukong patted his chest: "I'll wait for you in this tribe. These Wu Clan brothers have hard enough fists, just right to practice with me. When you come back, maybe I'll have gained a lot too."

He said it lightly, his tone not containing a hint of reluctance.

Su Chen stood up and cupped his hands seriously toward Sun Wukong.

"Monkey Brother, wait for me to return."

Sun Wukong waved his hand and turned to walk toward the training ground, his back looking very free and easy.

After walking a dozen steps, he threw a sentence back without looking back.

"Little Brother, be careful yourself; if things don't go smoothly, come back and find me."

Su Chen looked at that back, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

A moment later, Su Chen returned to the hall.

Hou Tu had already given instructions to Houyi, and after she left, the Hou Tu tribe would be handed over to Houyi.

At this time, seeing Su Chen return, she gave one last instruction to the several Great Wu of the Hou Tu tribe: "From now on, you must listen to Houyi and manage the tribe well."

"Yes, Ancestral Wu!" The several Great Wu bowed and replied.

Hou Tu nodded slightly, a faint earthy-yellow halo surrounding her body, her bare feet hovering in mid-air, her long hair blown by the mountain wind, the whole person like a god of the earth.

"Let's go." She said to Su Chen.

The two rose into the air, turning into two streams of light, climbing rapidly along the body of Mount Wuzhi.

The higher they flew, the more desolate heaven and earth became.

The five-colored clouds disappeared, replaced by a dark sky.

Gale winds rolled in from all directions, mixed with thunder and fire, forming a natural barrier around the mountain.

Pangu pressure became increasingly intense.

The *Thirty-Six Axes of the Heavenly Gang* within Su Chen's body circulated violently, his spine humming non-stop.

Every time he ascended a distance, the pressure became heavier by a point, and his Qi and blood also climbed by a point under the stimulation of the pressure.

Hou Tu flew in front, the laws of the earth spontaneously isolating the gale and thunder-fire for her; she turned her head and glanced at Su Chen.

Su Chen's whole body was glowing with a dark-gold luster, flying upward while hard-resisting the Pangu pressure; although he was affected, he didn't look like he was struggling.

Hou Tu withdrew her gaze, not offering to help.

The Pangu pressure of Mount Wuzhi was itself a test; those who couldn't even pass this were not qualified to step into the Pangu Hall.

He didn't know how long he had flown, but the gale weakened, and the thunder-fire dissipated.

Thick clouds rolled in front, and Su Chen's gaze pierced through the clouds and mist.

He saw it—a massive black hall standing within Mount Wuzhi.

The hall body was cast from pitch-black divine stone, without any carvings, without any patterns, yet it emitted a terrifying aura of eternal existence.

The outline of the giant hall under the dark red sky was like a terrifying Primordial giant beast.

Hou Tu took Su Chen through the clouds and mist and landed in front of the black giant hall.

Just at this moment, a roar came from the giant hall, the sound wave carrying monstrous evil Qi, shattering the clouds and mist surrounding the black giant hall.

"Little Sister Hou Tu! Why did you bring a human ant to our Wu Clan holy land?" ===== CHAPTER 344 =====
