318 – Nine Great Arts

Zhu Chenyu replied, “Patriarch Shu is a brilliant and extraordinary individual! It is my honor to marry him. However, I have vowed in front of my mother to never become a concubine. If Patriarch Shu wants me to be a concubine, then I will have to decline.”

Shu Feng uttered, “What if it’s a secondary wife?”

Ordinary people in the Qianyuan Republic are usually monogamous. But aristocratic families and magnus families encourage childbearing, so they can have one regular wife and three secondary wives. The children born by these four wives are legitimate children, while the rest are illegitimate children. The status of a secondary wife is lower only by half a level than that of a regular wife.

Zhu Chenyu smiled sweetly and said, “Then I agree!”

“Now that we have agreed to a marriage, we are a family. Shu Feng, these are first-rate spirit martial arts that the Zhu Magnus Family has collected. You can pick three.”

Zhu Yan laughed heartily and then took out a Storage Ring and threw it to Shu Feng.

“Great! Everlife Demon Body, Phantom Blue Skeleton Blade, Great Dragon Catcher Hand, Nether Needle, Necro Space Sword Art, Eye of Annihilation, Purgatory Void Step, One Hundred Nights Transmogrification, these are the nine great arts of the Purgatory Skeleton Gate.”

“The sacred martial art of the Purgatory Skeleton Gate, Ten Thousand Purgatory Divine Gate, is also here! If I can’t continue to cultivate the Sun Moon Holy Scripture in the future, I can switch to Ten Thousand Purgatory Divine Gate!”

Shu Feng’s eyes fell on a piece of dark parchment, which is a treasure refined from the hide of a Spirit Saint realm Hollow Demon. The parchment has Ten Thousand Purgatory Divine Gate, the sacred martial art of the Purgatory Skeleton Gate, recorded.

Ten Thousand Purgatory Divine Gate is a famous martial art in Xuanwu World. Once Ten Thousand Purgatory Divine Gate is cultivated successfully, every time you kill a powerhouse, you can absorb the blood essence and soul of the other party and trap them in a Purgatory Divine Gate formed in your body.

The blood essence and souls of three powerhouses of the same cultivation base as the cultivator can be sealed. When facing enemies, the three powerhouses can be released to form three helpers of the same realm as the cultivator to fight the enemies. The power of this martial art is frightening.

Back in his day, the founder of the Purgatory Skeleton Gate sealed three Martial Saints of Xuanwu World in his body and became nearly invincible in Xuanwu World.

Shu Feng said, “Ancestor Zhu Yan, since we are a family, then why don’t you let me learn all these martial arts?”

Zhu Yan said in response, “You mustn’t bite off more than you can chew! When cultivated to the pinnacle realm, each of the nine great arts of the Purgatory Skeleton Gate is incredibly powerful and can slay Saints. If you focus on many martial arts, it will only delay your cultivation progress. It’ll be a waste of time and energy! Choose three for now. After you have mastered them, you can come to me to choose other great arts.”

Shu Feng uttered: “Then I choose Everlife Demon Body, Purgatory Void Step, and One Hundred Nights Transmogrification!”

Everlife Demon Body is a first-rate body-tempering martial art. Once it is cultivated successfully, it can greatly improve the physical constitution and defense of the martial artist.

Purgatory Void Step is a first-rate footwork. Once it is unleashed, you can walk on empty air.

One Hundred Nights Transmogrification is a first-rate transmogrification secret method. Once it is cultivated successfully, the martial artist can freely change their body’s bones and muscles and assume another person’s appearance.

These three great arts are all lifesaving great arts. Shu Feng feels that he has a lot of experts under his command, so it’s better to improve his survivability.

Zhu Yan uttered meaningfully: “As expected, you chose Everlife Demon Body, Purgatory Void Step, and One Hundred Nights Transmogrification. Once you have cultivated these three great arts, it will become more difficult for others to kill you.”

Shu Feng smiled and grabbed the parchments with the three great arts.

Among the secret martial arts that Zhu Yan took out, the most precious one is Ten Thousand Purgatory Divine Gate. This secret art can be cultivated to the Spirit Saint realm. As a result, only parchment made from Spirit Saint realm Hollow Demon hide can bear it. The rest of the parchments are refined from Spirit Venerable realm Hollow Demon hide and are not too precious.

“You can choose three treasures from here.”

Zhu Yan took out another Storage Ring and handed it to Shu Feng.

“As expected of the Zhu Magnus Family! It’s really rich! There are even two prestigious guns here!”

Shu Feng swept the other Storage Ring with his psyche, and his eyes lit up.

There are 100 extremely precious treasures in the Storage Ring, including two prestigious guns. Prestigious guns are unique treasures. They are extremely precious and mostly used by Spirit Saints. Only a frightening force like the Zhu Magnus Family can take out two such guns at one time.

“This is pretty good!”

Shu Feng’s eyes brightened. He grabbed a broken, two-meter-long, double-edged golden axe, and his eyes surged with a burning shade.

Zhu Yan glanced at the double-edged golden axe and said, “This is the remains of the demigod artifact Enormous Battle Axe. It can be wielded once at most before it collapses into pieces. However, as long as enough spirit force is injected, it can unleash five times the power.”

Shu Feng mused: “Demigod artifact! As expected of the Zhu Magnus Family! It actually has such a powerful treasure. Maybe there is a complete demigod artifact in the Zhu Magnus Family.”

The most powerful secret treasures on Blue Star are the Seven Sacred Guns that can slay gods. Below the Seven Sacred Guns, there are saint artifacts with unpredictable power as well as demigod artifacts of the World of Grunt and the World of Endorsas.

The eight magnus families and the 1st tier aristocratic families possess formidable underlying strength, which includes saint artifacts or even demigod artifacts from other worlds.

Shu Feng’s eyes flashed with a burning color: “The most important thing about the broken demigod artifact is that it contains divinity.”

Every time a point of divinity is implanted into his body, Shu Feng will become stronger. Furthermore, it will also provide Shu Feng with formidable resistance, making it so that he can display his power despite facing some strange entities.

“And these two!”

Shu Feng’s right hand flicked, and a potion and a blue crystal skull appeared.

Zhu Yan uttered: “This potion is Sacrosanct Essence, which can improve the cultivation aptitude of a cultivator. The blue crystal skull is extremely hard and can increase a person’s cultivation speed by half. Are you sure you want to choose these two treasures instead of a prestigious gun?”

For spirit gun users, a prestigious gun is almost equivalent to a second life. With the prestigious gun Stars, the assassin Star has the power to threaten demigods. However, without the prestigious gun Stars, the assassin Star isn’t even a match for quasi-Saints.

Shu Feng replied, “Yes, I want these two!”

“Alright!”

Zhu Yan took back the Storage Ring.

“This is my gift to you!”

Shu Feng smiled and handed the potion Sacrosanct Essence to Zhu Chenyu.

Zhu Chenyu’s cultivation talent is no good. She only possesses a Spirit Warrior realm cultivation base. If she gets the potion Sacrosanct Essence, her body will be rebuilt, greatly improving her cultivation aptitude.
