Chapter 258: Entering the Wu Clan's Treasury, Grasping the Great Seal Technique?!

However, just as Chen Ku was preparing to rely on the Chaos Azure Lotus, at the moment the three-life Buddha body unified.

Without any omen, an anomaly suddenly arose.

"Disciple, the Twelve Ancestor Wu have come, specifically requesting to visit you."

"They are currently waiting outside Mount Sumeru."

In the dark, such a divine sense transmission sound attacked.

Hearing this, Chen Ku was stunned.

These words are naturally from my own master Jieyin.

But what surprised Chen Ku was that the Twelve Ancestor Wu have come again?!

"Could it be that they want to compete with me again?"

Chen Ku's heart stirred greatly.

Back when I initially exchanged blows with the Twelve Ancestor Wu, they suffered consecutive defeats.

It goes without saying that the Twelve Ancestor Wu will not easily give up.

After all, the effect of the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique on the Wu Clan surpasses all primordial cultivators.

Although doubtful in his heart, Chen Ku did not hesitate at all.

Immediately, he waved his hand, guiding the Twelve Ancestor Wu's direction, causing them to come into his dojo.

Not long after, twelve figures descended.

"The Western heavens and earth now present a scene of flourishing prosperity."

"Even the many immortal sacred lands of the East fall short."

Zhu Jiuyin opened his mouth, full of amazement, and said:

This is basically the reaction of every great power who has come to the West these days, all in unison.

Furthermore, the Twelve Ancestor Wu's gaze toward Chen Ku was unprecedentedly solemn, or rather, reverent.

Repeatedly witnessing Chen Ku's astonishing talent and splendid strength also made the Twelve Ancestor Wu increasingly convinced.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Chen Ku!"

Led by Di Jiang, the ancestor Wu clasped their hands in salute, appearing extremely courteous.

Seeing this, Chen Ku smiled faintly.

"Hehe, I have greeted all the ancestor Wu."

After a pause in his speech, he raised his eyebrows slightly and directly asked:

"You all came this time to compete with me?!"

However.

This time, Chen Ku's guess was obviously wrong.

Hearing his words, Di Jiang shook his head without hesitation, gave a bitter laugh, and said:

"Now, Fellow Daoist Chen Ku's battle power is overwhelming, with all kinds of divine abilities and great techniques unleashed; we too cannot shake it."

"We also have no intention of competing with Fellow Daoist!"

Di Jiang's words also caused Zhu Jiuyin, Zhurong, and others to secretly nod.

These words are not an exaggeration.

Besides other matters, just Chen Ku's move of the Heavenly Dao Grindstone is enough to withstand a sage's power.

If the Twelve Ancestor Wu wanted to clash head-on, they would likely have to summon the Pangu Illusory Form.

But doing so would clearly violate the rules of the contest.

In other words, Di Jiang and the others know full well.

If we follow the original contest's rules, even giving them countless chances would not necessarily allow them to defeat Chen Ku and obtain the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique.

Hearing this, Chen Ku became even more curious.

"Oh? Then why have you come?!"

This time, after a moment's pondering, Zhu Jiuyin spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Chen Ku, aside from competing, we wish to make an exchange with Fellow Daoist."

"I wonder... could we exchange for the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique in Fellow Daoist's hands?!"

Instantly, Chen Ku realized, understanding the Twelve Ancestor Wu's meaning.

This is knowing that winning the competition is unlikely.

Therefore, the Twelve Ancestor Wu want to obtain the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique by other means.

Not bad!

This is also the method the Twelve Ancestor Wu devised after racking their brains.

No way!

The Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique is too important, and perhaps only Chen Ku in the present world controls it.

As long as they can obtain it, the Twelve Ancestor Wu would consider any great cost worthwhile.

Chen Ku revealed an interested expression.

"Oh?"

"Since it's an exchange, what can you all offer?"

Hearing that Chen Ku did not immediately refuse, the Twelve Ancestor Wu secretly let out a long breath.

In that case, there is room for negotiation.

Furthermore, regarding Chen Ku's question, several of them had already anticipated it.

Therefore, as soon as his words fell, Di Jiang spoke boldly:

My Wu Clan's treasury can be opened for you, fellow Daoist.

Within it, fellow Daoist may freely choose three spiritual treasures.

This... is enough?!

As he spoke, Di Jiang's face showed an arrogant expression.

You should know, the Wu Clan has been passed down for myriad ages, and as an existence of the level of heaven-and-earth overlord.

Its clan's accumulations and foundation have already reached a shocking level.

It even contains numerous top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and even more extraordinary existences.

Freely picking three spiritual treasures sounds like not many.

But for an ordinary primordial cultivator, this is already a heavenly opportunity impossible to achieve in a lifetime.

In Di Jiang and others' view, this condition is also equivalent to the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art.

Who would have thought, upon hearing these words, Chen Ku hardly even thought about it.

Just three spiritual treasures?

Not enough!

Chen Ku refused without hesitation.

Instantly, the Twelve Ancestral Wu's faces all stiffened.

Damn!

This guy is preparing to ask for a lot?!

However, upon second thought, spiritual treasures don't seem to hold much allure for Chen Ku.

After all, this guy's accumulation of spiritual treasures is terrifying even compared to a sage.

This... is really hard to deal with.

Di Jiang, Zhujiuyin and others couldn't help but secretly feel annoyed.

The Wu Clan cannot use spiritual treasures, which is why they can unhesitatingly use this as a condition of exchange.

Moreover, this is also the Wu Clan's great sincerity.

But in Chen Ku's eyes, it's not worth mentioning.

How then should we persuade Chen Ku?

After a moment of contemplation, Di Jiang simply said bluntly:

Since that's the case, please speak your mind, fellow Daoist.

As long as you can teach us the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art, we will listen to whatever you want.

Let Chen Ku proactively put forward the conditions.

It is evident how desperately the Twelve Ancestral Wu desire the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art, anticipating it greatly.

Such a resolute demeanor also caused Chen Ku to secretly chuckle.

Ah... suffering, suffering...

I still feel that my physical strength is somewhat insufficient.

If I could enter the Pangu Blood Pool to temper my body.

Then the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art could also be taught to you all.

Chen Ku spoke lightly, sighing repeatedly and speaking of suffering.

But as soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Twelve Ancestral Wu all changed.

Pangu Blood Pool?!

This is impossible!

Almost instantly, Zhurong blurted out subconsciously:

You should know, the Pangu Blood Pool can be called the most sacred place of the Wu Clan.

It lies deep within the Pangu Holy Hall, where remnants of Pangu's essence blood remain.

Used for tempering the body, it is a treasure unparalleled throughout the ages.

But one can imagine, its preciousness is also unimaginable.

Even within the Wu Clan, only the Twelve Ancestral Wu can enter the Pangu Blood Pool.

Even great witches like Xingtian and Chiyou need to obtain the approval of the Twelve Ancestral Wu to gain such a great opportunity.

Moreover, Chen Ku is merely an outsider; how could he possibly set foot in the Wu Clan's absolute holy land?!

Therefore, Zhurong refused without hesitation.

Hearing such a response, Chen Ku was not surprised either.

Well then... there's nothing left to discuss.

Since we can't reach an agreement, I'll bid you farewell without seeing you off.

Chen Ku was not at all flustered.

Just as the Twelve Ancestral Wu are determined to obtain the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art.

Using the Pangu Blood Pool to temper his body, Chen Ku will not easily give up.

After all, the Pangu Blood Pool contains remnants of Pangu's mighty power, possessing the miraculous effect of cleansing the flesh and washing the meridians and marrow.

At present, Chen Ku's physical body has already surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

But if he could advance further, matching or even surpassing the Ancestral Wu is not impossible.

It can be said that its effect is extremely great.

This time, Chen Ku refused without hesitation, even issuing an order to expel the guests.

On the contrary, it is now the Twelve Ancestral Wu who feel uneasy.

The twelve people looked somewhat solemn, and did not leave just like that.

They exchanged a glance, each seeing the other's unwillingness.

This time, they had come closer to the Nine Turn Mystic Art than ever before.

If they returned empty-handed again, who knows how many years it would take before they could truly master this technique.

More importantly, the Twelve Ancestor Wu had come forward voluntarily to propose an exchange.

They were also considering the future great war against the Demon Race.

With the Nine Turn Mystic Art in hand, once the ceasefire ends, the Wu Clan will have even greater confidence to wipe out the Demon Race in one fell swoop.

"This... good!"

"I have agreed!"

After a long while, Di Jiang spoke in a muffled voice; although he was somewhat hesitant, he ultimately said this.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin, Zhu Rong, Hou Tu and the others all looked at Di Jiang with shocked expressions.

But after a moment, they still did not say much more.

They could also see Chen Ku's attitude, and could only agree to the other party.

Only then did Chen Ku's expression change.

His previously bitter expression of repeatedly speaking of bitterness gave way to a faint smile.

"Hehe, wonderful... wonderful......"

Chen Ku said as such.

He then wasted no words, immediately moving his thoughts.

Instantly, a ball of light condensed and emerged in his sea of consciousness, rising and falling, exuding a profound and obscure Dao rhythm that defied description.

That was precisely the method of circulating and cultivating the Nine Turn Mystic Art.

Chen Ku waved his hand, and the ball of light instantly burst out of his body, falling into the minds of the Twelve Ancestor Wu.

Chen Ku acted swiftly and cleanly, and did not worry that the Twelve Ancestor Wu would go back on their word.

Therefore, since the matter was settled, he directly transmitted the technique to the Twelve Ancestor Wu.

In an instant, the faces of the Twelve Ancestor Wu brightened greatly.

Although they do not give birth to a primordial spirit, the Nine Turn Mystic Art is fundamentally a method of cultivating the physical body, so it does not require the aid of a primordial spirit.

Moreover, as Ancestor Wu, they are naturally not foolish.

It took only a moment for them to grasp the power of the Nine Turn Mystic Art.

Even Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin and the others already had their qi and blood roaring like a surging river, mighty and awe‑inspiring.

Clearly, they were already able to preliminarily circulate this technique.

"Hiss... so this is the true Nine Turn Mystic Art!"

"The Nine Turn Mystic Art—each turn is a tremendous transformation and sublimation."

"This... truly is a wonderful feeling."

"I feel that, under the enhancement of the Nine Turn Mystic Art, the speed at which our physical bodies improve has also multiplied."

"Excellent, excellent—truly worthy of being the technique created by the Father God; it is nothing like the mere absorption of baleful qi we once practiced."

Di Jiang and the others all spoke up, drawing in cool breaths, exclaiming repeatedly, and discussing excitedly.

You must know, they have only just begun to comprehend the Nine Turn Mystic Art.

Given time, as their cultivation deepens, this technique will surely reveal even more heaven‑defying power and effect.

This exchange was a bloody profit, no loss!

Even the resentment from previously agreeing to let Chen Ku enter the Pangu Blood Pool was completely swept away.

Besides, Chen Ku also wasted no words.

"I have fulfilled what I promised you all."

"Now it is also time for you fellow cultivators to keep your promises."

Upon hearing Chen Ku's words, the Twelve Ancestor Wu showed no further hesitation.

"Good, good!"

"Please, Fellow Cultivator Chen Ku, follow us to the Wu Clan!"

Before his words even fell, Di Jiang waved his hand.

In an instant, a wondrously exquisite spatial passage appeared.

Immediately, Chen Ku and the Twelve Ancestor Wu stepped forward, entering the spatial passage and arriving directly in the Wu Clan.

Pangu Holy Hall.

From the outside, it appears merely as a rather grand and massive holy hall.

But only upon entering does one truly feel its vastness and extraordinariness.

Its interior forms a space of its own.

Or, more accurately, it is like a self‑contained world.

The spatial laws are vast; looking out, there is no end in sight for tens of thousands of li.

Yet within the immense Pangu Holy Hall, it appears rather dim and deep.

All around, great waves of baleful qi flow, also giving a somewhat oppressive feeling.

Of course, none of this can affect Chen Ku as he is now.

Not long after, Di Jiang brought him to a corner.

"This place is the treasury of my Wu Clan!"

Although they had agreed to Chen Ku's request to temper his body in the Pangu Blood Pool.

But picking three spiritual treasures still counts, naturally.

Dijiang once again exercised the law of space.

In an instant, space was torn apart, and a shocking, heaven-defying scene also appeared.

Inside the treasury, it remained an indescribably vast expanse.

But at the moment of opening, countless rays of splendid light burst forth, dazzling and blinding, intensely brilliant beyond compare.

Each ray of light carried a spiritual treasure.

Moreover, countless innate spiritual roots were also slaughtering the immortal rosy clouds, spraying auspicious colors, exuding rich fragrance.

Seeing this, Chen Ku couldn't help but secretly marvel.

No wonder it's the Wu Clan!

With such a foundation, hardly any doctrine can match it.

Just... unfortunately...

Chen Ku secretly sighed.

Unfortunately, the Wu Clan does not cultivate the primordial spirit; even possessing thousands of spiritual treasures, innate spiritual treasures are not few.

But the Wu Clan's beings cannot use them.

Thinking this, Chen Ku stepped forward and directly entered the treasury.

He moved with extreme speed, merely glancing at the spiritual treasures flashing past without paying attention.

Nothing else!

Just a glance, and Chen Ku had already discerned it.

These spiritual treasures on the treasury's periphery were merely ordinary existences.

Low-grade innate spiritual treasures......

Medium-grade innate spiritual treasures......

There were even inferior acquired spiritual treasures, and so on.

These spiritual treasures were virtually useless to Chen Ku now, naturally not worth his further attention.

If one is to take, take only the highest-grade treasures.

Not long after, Chen Ku had already reached the depths of the Wu Clan's treasury.

By then, the radiant light emanating from the spiritual treasures all around him shone even more brilliantly.

Moreover, each spiritual treasure emitted an aura that made one's heart tremble.

Clearly, their grade had gradually risen.

But this time, not long after, Chen Ku's expression shifted.

In his view, he noticed a spiritual treasure shaped like a coffin, entirely blood-red.

Upon the coffin lid, mysterious and inscrutable runes flickered in and out of sight.

Eerie!

Terrifying!

Just a glance, and this coffin-shaped spiritual treasure made Chen Ku's heart jolt.

Upon closer observation, one could also sense a towering killing intent spilling out from the coffin.

At this moment, Chen Ku couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb and his body's hair stand on end.

What... what kind of spiritual treasure is this?!

Why does this killing intent make even me feel somewhat unable to bear it?!

Chen Ku muttered to himself, his heart shocked.

And yet, while staring intently at it.

At one moment, a prompt of heaven-defying comprehension suddenly sounded in his sea of consciousness.

【You, having contemplated the runes of the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin and experienced the vast killing intent, have comprehended one of the Three Thousand Great Arts: the Great Seal Technique!】

In an instant, Chen Ku's expression changed.
