Chapter 3398: Gathering Flower Secret Technique, the Absurd Wu Family

The ancestors looked toward the sky.

Gazing at the coalescing Cold Plum, they all wore expressions of shock. "What a powerful bloodline."

"I wonder which junior has awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline to trigger such a phenomenon. This is incredible."

"Our Hanshui Holy Land is about to produce another peerless genius." The ancestors knew what this phenomenon represented and began to get excited.

While some young disciples did not know what the phenomenon signified, they knew it certainly was not a bad thing.

The Cold Plum Bloodline was the highest bloodline of the Hanshui Holy Land; many disciples even faintly felt their own bloodlines boiling.

Just like their hearts, Young Master Wu Xingguang was in his courtyard, gazing at the distant Cold Plum.

Feeling vaguely uneasy, he whispered, "Ancestor, do you know what this pattern is?"

The Seventh Realm Ancestor of the Wu Family said, "According to family records, the members of the Gu family in Hanshui Holy Land possess the Cold Plum Bloodline. Once this bloodline is awakened, cultivating the Dao of Ice becomes twice as effective with half the effort."

"Furthermore, any secret techniques and arts related to it will have their power significantly increased."

"However, the Cold Plum Bloodline is not easy to awaken; it usually only awakens after reaching the Seventh Realm. Even the current Saint Master Gu Hanyu has not awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline. This time, with the Cold Plum Bloodline awakening in the Hanshui Holy Land, I do not know if it is their ancestor or someone else."

"If it is an ancestor, that is normal. If it is someone else, then I can only say the Hanshui Holy Land's fortune is prosperous, producing a peerless genius." Young Master Wu Xingguang frowned.

"Could they be more talented than me?"

The Seventh Realm Ancestor said, "One cannot make such comparisons. The definition of a genius is not for a moment, but for a lifetime. Look at this lifetime of cultivation."

"Whoever can walk further and live longer—even if someone is a genius, if they fall halfway, they are no longer a genius. A dead genius is no different from an ordinary person." Young Master Wu Xingguang gritted his teeth and whispered, "Once I marry Gu Hanjing, I will use the secret technique to take all her cultivation. My achievements will certainly not be weaker than any genius of this generation." The Seventh Realm Ancestor said, "However, even so, you must act with caution. Do not kill her, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to answer to the Hanshui Holy Land."

Young Master Wu Xingguang chuckled, "That is natural. I still have that much sense of propriety."

The Cold Plum disappeared after several minutes. Gu Hanjing slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, the aura on her body had undergone a qualitative change.

She had stepped from the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm into the Dao Venerable 4th Realm, and her potential was far from released. For a long time to come, her cultivation would rapidly improve. The Dao Venerable 5th Realm would be no problem, and even the 6th Realm was not impossible.

Having suffered for so many years and escaped death, she would certainly be richly rewarded.

"Sister!"

Gu Hanjing excitedly jumped over and threw herself onto Saint Master Gu Hanyu.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu was also teary-eyed at this moment. "Jing'er has finally returned." Gu Hanjing giggled and said, "Of course I could come back." The two sisters hugged for a while before separating. Gu Hanjing looked at Lin Moyu with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, your real form looks better than your soul." Lin Moyu laughed, "Are you praising me for being good-looking, or scolding my soul for being ugly?" Gu Hanjing giggled.

"That depends on how Brother-in-law thinks about it." Only then did she notice that Ancestor Gu Cang and Ice Ancestor were both here.

She had a strange expression, "Ice Ancestor, Ancestor Cang. Why are you both here?" Ice Ancestor said, "You don't know what just happened?"

Gu Hanjing said, "What could have happened? Didn't I just break through?"

Ice Ancestor said, "Do you know that you have awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline?" Gu Hanjing was clearly completely unaware of what had just happened, let alone that she had awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline. Ice Ancestor said, "Use all your strength to feel your own bloodline." Gu Hanjing followed suit, and a powerful aura rushed into the sky.

The power of her bloodline rolled and moved. At the center of Gu Hanjing's forehead, a Cold Plum appeared.

The Cold Plum was lifelike and extremely clear. The clearer the Cold Plum, the stronger her Cold Plum Bloodline. Ancestor Cang said, "A very strong Cold Plum Bloodline."

Ice Ancestor whispered, "Not bad. You are qualified to become the new Saint Master."

Gu Hanjing gasped, "I will be the Saint Master?"

Ice Ancestor said, "That's right. Saint Master Gu Hanyu is about to get married, and the position of Saint Master is vacant."

"Originally, we discussed letting Saint Master Gu Hanyu choose someone. Since you have awakened the Cold Plum Bloodline, according to the rules of the Holy Land, you are the next Saint Master." Gu Hanjing hurriedly said, "That won't do. I can't do it. How could I have such ability?" Ancestor Cang chuckled, "You don't need to worry about that. Among us ancestors, there are many who have been Saint Master. They will all teach you. And with Ice Ancestor backing you, what are you afraid of?"

"If anyone is dissatisfied, beat them until they are convinced." Ice Ancestor said, "This is my intention, and it is also your sister's intention. You must not disobey."

At this time, Gu Hanjing looked pitifully at Saint Master Gu Hanyu, "Sister, help me say something. I really can't do it." Saint Master Gu Hanyu shook her head, "It's no problem. Sister believes in you." For the sake of her own and Lin Moyu's happiness, Saint Master Gu Hanyu sold Gu Hanjing out directly.

Now Gu Hanjing was being roasted on a fire; she had to go up whether she wanted to or not. Finally, in desperation, Gu Hanjing could only agree. Looking at Gu Hanjing's bitter face, it was as if she were saying, "It would have been better to fight the Soul Bug before. Out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's lair." Her suffering had not yet ended.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu smiled and said, "Jing'er, there is one more thing for you to do. Young Master Wu Xingguang of the Wu Family wants to propose to you." "What!"

Gu Hanjing jumped up with a scream. This matter was even more like a bolt from the blue, leaving her charred and tender. Not only her, but the two ancestors were also shocked. Ice Ancestor said, "Is that guy crazy? Saint Master, didn't you refuse?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "I refused, but he is holding your token, Ice Ancestor. He insisted that Jing'er must refuse in person. You also know Jing'er's previous situation; how could she refuse in person?"

Ice Ancestor thought for a moment, "The Wu Family helped me once back then, so I left a token for the Wu Family. It allows them to make a request that is not excessive. As time passed, I forgot about this matter. I didn't expect it to be used here."

"But why do they want to marry Jing'er?" Ancestor Cang frowned. "It should be because of the Wu Family's Gathering Flower Secret Technique."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu stated her guess and mentioned the Ice Soul Secret Technique. Ice Ancestor asked, "What is the Gathering Flower Secret Technique?"

Ancestor Cang said, "This is a very ancient secret technique. Its basic function is for dual cultivation, but it has another ability that only a few people know. This secret technique can be used to absorb the cultivation of the dual cultivation partner. Transferring the other party's cultivation to oneself. The Wu Family has used this secret technique in the past to do many absurd and outrageous things."

Gu Hanjing asked curiously, "How absurd?" Ancestor Cang said, "When the ancestors of the Wu Family were about to reach the end of their lifespan, they would let their descendants use this secret technique to absorb their own cultivation."

Dual cultivation secret technique, absorbing cultivation, one's own ancestors.

Gu Hanjing finally understood, and her face turned red. "What a shameless secret technique."

Ice Ancestor's face was gloomy at this time, "In that case, the Wu Family knew about Gu Hanjing's situation, and then wanted to use the Ice Soul Secret Technique, plus their Gathering Flower Secret Technique, to absorb all of Gu Hanjing's cultivation."

Ancestor Cang nodded, "That should be it. I know that there are several ancestors in the Holy Land who have long wanted to send Gu Hanjing away. In their eyes, Gu Hanjing was already a useless person, so using this to form a marriage with the Wu Family is also a good choice." Ice Ancestor snorted coldly, "We must investigate this."

Chapter 3399: My Fist Isn't Big Enough, So I Must Resign Myself to Fate

"Which guy came up with this idea? I want to teach him a good lesson." Hearing that an ancestor wanted to use her as a tool, Gu Hanjing was also livid. Saint Master Gu Hanyu gently pinched her little hand, "Jing'er, some things will be different from what you think. Once you sit in the position of Saint Master, you will understand slowly."

"Many things, if you are not in that position, you will not understand."

"Many ancestors of the Hanshui Holy Land, when they were still ordinary disciples, perhaps they would consider friendship. When they were young, it was easier to act on impulse and do some impulsive things. But once they became an ancestor, having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, their contemporaries had all left. The things they began to consider changed. Juniors were just juniors."

"They care more about gains and losses, they will calculate, they will compare. They care more about the interests of the entire sect and Holy Land, and so they lose some human touch. They will put the sect's interests first, and the selfish ones will even calculate their personal interests. When a disciple is abandoned, they will be treated as a tool and used as much as possible. As for whether the treatment that disciple eventually receives is fair, it is actually not within the consideration range of those ancestors. This is human nature, and it is reality."

"It is very difficult to teach. As Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, only when you reach this position can you understand." Lin Moyu looked at the livid Gu Hanjing, "Actually, you don't need to think too much. There is a universal rule in this world, and that is the fist. As long as your fist is big enough and hard enough, you don't need to care about anything, and you don't need to weigh anything. No one will dare to disobey your will."

Lin Moyu's words were easy to understand, and Gu Hanjing understood them completely. She gritted her teeth, "Then I will cultivate to the highest realm and make everyone who dares to bully me pay the price!"

Lin Moyu chuckled. He did not know what the future would be like for that ancestor who advocated using Gu Hanjing as a waste. Having provoked such a young mistress, her life probably wouldn't be too easy. She could only wish herself luck.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Let's talk about these things later. Now, Jing'er has to go and reject Young Master Wu Xingguang in person, and at the same time, take back Ice Ancestor's token." Gu Hanjing nodded vigorously, "I want to see which guy is so bold as to have designs on this young lady." Saint Master Gu Hanyu teleported everyone to the meeting hall and ordered someone to call Young Master Wu Xingguang over.

A moment later, Young Master Wu Xingguang brought his two Seventh Realm Ancestors to the hall. Seeing Gu Hanjing sitting beside Saint Master Gu Hanyu, Young Master Wu Xingguang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He secretly thought, 'Not good.' He could not have imagined that his information was wrong, and Gu Hanjing was actually safe and sound. Saint Master Gu Hanyu coughed lightly.

A crisp voice sounded, "Young Master Wu, you may speak."

At this moment, Young Master Wu Xingguang was already riding a tiger; he had to continue. He forcefully suppressed the unease in his heart and mustered his courage, "Fairy Jing, I am Young Master Wu Xingguang of the Wu Family. I am here specifically to propose to you." Before he finished speaking, Gu Hanjing had already glared at him.

"Get lost. What kind of thing are you to be worthy of proposing to this young lady?"
