Chapter 24 Miraculous Skill
Chapter 24 Miraculous Skill
Ten minutes later.
On a small path near the foot of the mountain.
Chen Jinkui walked alone down the road, muttering to himself, "The Thirteen Wonders... I actually saw them!"
Unfortunately, what Old Master Lu had was the "Tongtian Lu" instead of the legendary "Feng Hou Qi Men" which pushed Qi Men to its extreme; otherwise, he would have asked for it no matter what.
Even if you had to trade the entire Technique Sect for it...
That's worth it!
Chen Jinkui's obsession stemmed not only from the rumor that his "miraculous skill could reach the heavens," but also from the fact that he had personally witnessed the power of this skill, which was simply divine!
When the Jia Shen Rebellion broke out, although he had not yet entered the cultivation world, his senior uncle, Master Hu Tu, the previous head of the Shu Zi Sect, personally participated and almost obtained a miraculous skill...
And that's how he lost his life!
……
……
Seventy years ago.
The list of thirty-six thieves has been exposed, and thirteen extraordinary skills have appeared, shaking the entire martial arts world. People have begun to hunt down these thirty-six people and try to seize the extraordinary skills.
The Wang family was the luckiest among them. They captured Feng Tianyang and not only obtained the "Spirit Binding and Commanding" technique, but also learned the names of other extraordinary skills from him...
And that interrogation.
The "Technique" school also participated.
As far as was known at the time, among the thirteen people who had mastered these extraordinary skills, only Gu Qiting and Zhou Sheng were sorcerers, so their extraordinary skills were naturally attributed to magic...
In order to obtain the method, Master Hutu led the members of the Shuzi Sect into the inner realm for divination, at the cost of several lives, to find Gu Jiting's whereabouts.
After that, the Shuzi Sect launched a manhunt for Gu Jiting, spending half a year trying to intercept him from all sides and losing several lives before finally managing to stop him.
Strangely, the demon vanished into thin air amidst the crowd's encirclement; it could only be described as "disappeared," as not even a trace of its scent remained.
Moreover, there was no gap between its "existence" and "disappearance," as if it had been "abruptly erased." Even Master Hutu, who had mastered the "Qimen Manifestation Technique," couldn't understand what had happened...
That's something no known escape technique can do!
Afterwards, everyone searched everywhere, but could not find any trace of him. Even after several people risked their lives to inquire inside the inner realm, they still found nothing.
This person seems to have vanished into thin air.
No trace was left.
Only "empty" remains.
Thus, the Shuzi Sect had no choice but to give up. But just when everyone thought the matter was over... not long after, Master Hutu started acting strangely.
No matter where he was, day or night, he always felt that someone was watching him, and he was sure it was Gu Qiting. However, after searching for a long time, no one was found.
As time went on, the situation worsened, and Master Hutu gradually lost his mind, often huddled alone in a corner wrapped in a blanket, trembling.
Everyone knew that this matter must be related to Gu Qiting, but despite trying various methods, they still couldn't figure out what had happened. They could only conclude that "Da Luo Dong Guan" not only possessed miraculous escape techniques...
It also possesses illusion magic.
Therefore, the masters within the Shuzi Sect joined forces to set up a scheme to break the illusion. They also obtained illusion-breaking talismans from the Shangqing Sect and affixed them to Master Hutu's eyes, attempting to gather everyone's strength to dispel the illusion.
Even with such a large entourage, Master Hutu in the center of the group still shouted, "No! I can still feel it! He's right here!"
The last resort also failed.
Considering that he was no longer able to serve as the sect leader, he had no choice but to step down and let his junior brother take over.
By the time Chen Jinkui entered the household to serve him, Master Hutu had been insane for decades. By then, he had gained his master's trust, and the task of taking care of his uncle fell to him.
Whenever he entered his uncle's room, he always felt inexplicably oppressed and uneasy. He originally thought that it was inevitable that the atmosphere would be strange in the residence of his uncle, a crazy old man who had lived there for a long time...
But until the day he passed away.
He then understood.
I might be wrong!
Before his death, Master Hutu met with everyone from the Shuzi Sect, but kept his junior brother and Chen Jinkui behind, seemingly to give them important instructions.
Seeing his gaunt appearance, Chen Jinkui comforted him, "Uncle-Master, you'll get better. We'll definitely find a way to undo the spell that Gu Qiting cast on you!"
But Master Hutu scoffed, "Heh heh... you bald monk? You're not worthy..."
"Your master... is not worthy either..."
"Even... all the masters of our entire Art Sect combined wouldn't qualify..."
"To outsiders, we are... reclusive masters..."
"But... compared to the extraordinary skills of those thirteen... it's all utterly worthless..."
"Unravel...the Thirteen Mysterious Techniques..."
"He's right here...!"
"Here...there..."
Master Hutu stretched out his trembling finger and pointed everywhere.
"Everywhere..."
"For so many years... he's been... staring at me... with resentment..."
"The Great Luo Insight... let alone dealing with it... only today... have I barely grasped the realm he has entered... you... ha..."
"He's still here...you...guess...where is he..."
His junior brother shook his head: "Junior brother... really doesn't know..."
But the next moment, Master Hutu uttered a sentence that horrified the two of them, his last words: "He... stepped on my... destiny..."
The words fell.
A white light rose from his body, illuminating the entire room, and then abruptly disappeared the moment he passed away.
At the same time, the oppressive feeling that had been accompanying him also dissipated.
It made both of them realize...
This could be true!
……
……
"Uncle-Master, you said you barely understood that realm, couldn't you have persisted a little longer, explained it clearly... or written it down!"
Thinking about how he had once missed out on such a unique skill, Chen Jinkui couldn't help but complain, "You're free now, but you've left such a huge mystery in my and my master's hearts. How wicked of you!"
That's why he's been thinking about this matter ever since then. The more he thinks about it, the more he wants to see it for himself... or even obtain it.
"However, judging from the current situation, the Spirit Binding and Commanding Techniques, the Qi Source Flow, and the Heavenly Scroll have all appeared in the world. This may be a signal..."
He took out six copper coins, ready to have his fortune told...
"Um?"
Just as Chen Jinkui was about to toss the coin, his eyes suddenly widened as he saw a familiar figure standing behind a tree across the street…
"Master, Uncle-Master?!"
He had cared for him for many years and would never mistake him for someone else; the person opposite him was his deceased martial uncle: "How could this be..."
"Ah! Could it be that...!"
In that instant, Chen Jinkui thought of a possibility: his martial uncle had died because of the "Great Luo Cave Observation" back then, and now he had reappeared and even found him...
It may also be related to the "Da Luo Dong Guan"!
When it comes to extraordinary skills, he can't care about authenticity and immediately quickens his pace. Seeing him move, the figure behind the tree also suddenly turns around...
They disappeared into the woods!
