Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chen Ku stared at the world map spread out in his hands in front of him. On it, there was a place called "Mingzhou" in Yuan Kingdom, with the words "Ashura Arsenal" marked on it.

Below the words, there is a red ghost face pattern, which does not look like a human and has two horns.

"Shura Arsenal."

The eyes of the divine monk Tianhai were also solemn, and he said:

"The location of this treasure house was actually given to you by the Demon King as a return gift. I'm afraid there is something fishy about this."

Chen Ku listened to the words of the Tianhai Divine Monk and became alert. He said, "Master, you are right. I now doubt the purpose of the Demon King."

According to what he heard from Liu'er Macaque about the demon's ritual.

The entire Heavenly Demon Ceremony is based on the principle of equal exchange, that is, the value of the sacrifice offered to the Heavenly Demon King will be rewarded with the same value in return.

Now, let alone the value of the Demon Heart Mirror, it can already provide a great cultivator of the Tenth Realm like Zen Master Tianhai with a lot of help, and there is also the Heavenly Demon Great Law that can directly target the eleventh-level 'demon body' of the demon cultivator.

These two things alone are enough to equal the sacrifice of a Jinxu Slave.

just now……

He even gave me an extra reward, the 'Ashura Arsenal', one of the eighteen treasures in the world.

Just by looking at the one-third of the 'King of Heroes' Treasures' that Chen Ku has obtained so far, one can know how valuable these eighteen treasures, which are famous throughout the world from ancient times to the present, are. Any one of these treasures can enable a person to rise up from nothing between heaven and earth.

Chen Ku was now speculating and doubting: "Uncle Master, could the map route of the Shura Arsenal be fake?"

"Not very likely."

The divine monk Tianhai shook his head slightly and said:

"As far as I know, this Shura Arsenal is the national treasure of an ancient country called 'Shura Country'. The people of Shura Country are a kind of humanoid race called 'Shura'. This race is famous for its bravery and good fighting skills. Whether in terms of physical strength or martial arts, they are the best in the world because of their powerful racial talents."

"A Shura?" Chen Ku showed curiosity and asked, "What happened to the Shura clan later?"

The monk Tianhai said slowly:

"This seems to be related to the Buddhist country back then. It is said that the Buddhist country conquered the world and spread scriptures. It once had a great war with the Shura tribe. Later, the Shura country was destroyed."

Chen Ku was shocked when he heard this.

Is this still the compassionate Buddhism that I know of? Why would it destroy a country at any time?

It seemed that he saw what Chen Ku was thinking.

Monk Tianhai said slowly: "Buddhism, Buddhist Daoism, and Buddhist Kingdom are three different concepts. Buddhism refers to some Buddhist and Taoist sects. For example, our Putuo Mountain is a branch of Buddhism. Buddhist Daoism refers to a road created by the Buddha. Just like the martial arts of the world, it has its own long river of Buddhist and Taoist luck. As for the Buddhist Kingdom... you can understand it as another form of Ji State. The whole country is a 'unity of politics and religion'. There is no emperor, only the 'Buddha Emperor' who has reached the pinnacle of status."

Chen Ku seemed to be thinking about something.

Monk Tianhai continued, "The old site of the Shura Kingdom is within the current territory of the Yuan Kingdom, so if the Shura Arsenal is located there, it is actually possible."

"But why is this Shura Arsenal in the hands of a demon king? What is his purpose in giving it to us?" Chen Ku fell into deep thought.

"Your worries are justified. The Heavenly Demon King is a fruition that is achieved through cultivating the desires of all living beings. He has always been known for his cleverness and cunningness. Throughout history, many chaotic times were caused by these Heavenly Demon Kings pushing behind the scenes."

The divine monk Tianhai said solemnly:

“So, I advise the Sect Master not to test the Shura Arsenal lightly.”

"Uncle Master, rest assured. I understand the seriousness of this situation."

Chen nodded bitterly.

Not to mention that the place is now in Yuan Kingdom, which is inhabited by jackals, tigers and leopards. Just because of his fear of the Demon King, he is not prepared to investigate rashly.

A slight thought occurred to me:

"But the value of this thing does exist. Even if I can't go there myself, I can try to transform it into something that suits my needs."

He had an idea.

Now that he has killed both people from the Fighting God Sect, the Fighting God Palace will definitely not let this go, and currently only Shenwu Mountain can be his backer.

Perhaps, through this Shura Arsenal, he could further improve his status and position in Shenwu Mountain, so that he would not be afraid of the provocation from the Fighting God Palace.

"Alright, you used this Heavenly Demon Ritual to kill a great warrior of the Tenth Realm of the Doushen Palace. Now, apart from Shenwu Mountain, no place is safe. Sect Master, you need to return to Shenwu Mountain immediately. It is best not to go out before you finish your studies."

The divine monk Tianhai was also able to see the crux of the problem and said:

"As long as you can successfully graduate from Shenwu Mountain, you can achieve good results and enter the battlefield military camp to be appointed as a general. If you can establish military merits and be appointed as a general and a marquis, then even the Doushen Palace will not dare to touch you at all."

"I think so too."

Chen nodded bitterly.

Just like that, the two of them did not stay there for too long and quickly turned back towards Yandu City.

On the way back.

Chen Ku was still very excited.

Because compared to the so-called "reward" he got from the Demon King, the most precious thing he got after killing Jinxunu this time was actually the Ten Realms Evil Spirit from Jinxunu.

Now, on the way back, Chen Ku was going to try to see what part of Jinxunu's abilities he could transform into with the help of Jinxunu's Ten Realms Evil Spirit.

As he hurried on, the strong wind whizzed past his body, but Chen Ku's mind was focused on the changes in his body.

Hang Jinxu Nu on the transformation diagram.

【Jinxu Nu Transformation·Change of Shape】

Chen Ku looked down with great anticipation.

The evil spirit of the powerful one in the ten realms.

No matter what is transformed, it seems that it will not be bad.

Then, he saw the words about the ability to change shape.

[Transfiguration part: True blood (blood cultivation at the peak of the ninth realm)]

boom!
boom!
Chen Ku's heart suddenly beat faster.

It has been a long time since he changed his shape to cultivate his skills.

Although he did not transfer Jinxunu's cultivation to the peak of the tenth realm, the 'true blood' of the ninth level of the ninth realm was no less important to Chen Ku's practice than obtaining the true essence of the tenth realm.

After all, he is still many levels away from the Tenth Realm True Essence. Even if he obtains the Tenth Realm cultivation, he can only use it as an external force. However, obtaining the Ninth Realm True Blood can seamlessly connect his subsequent practice from the fifth marrow cleansing in the Eighth Realm to the blood transfusion in the Ninth Realm.

"Ok?"

The divine monk Tianhai seemed to sense something and turned to look at Chen Ku.

He seemed to have just sensed a breath from Chen Ku that was far superior to Chen Ku's own blood and energy.

Fortunately, Chen Ku quickly replaced Jinxu Nu's shape-changing ability, so Tianhai Divine Monk didn't ask any more questions.

Half a day later.

Chen Ku and the divine monk Tianhai had already appeared outside the city of Yandu.

"Master, you have to be careful when you practice alone in Yandu City. If the Fighting God Palace really comes to you, you can come to Shenwu Mountain." Chen Ku reminded him.

Facing such a behemoth as the Fighting God Palace, the divine monk Tianhai is now alone and not very safe.

"I have nothing to do with Shenwu Mountain." Tianhai monk shook his head.

Chen Ku pondered and said, "It's not Shenwu Mountain, but I can find a way to make my uncle safer."

He wanted to place the divine monk Tianhai in the Xiawang Realm.

"Master, don't worry too much about my safety. If something happens, I have a place left behind by Mount Putuo that I can go to." Zen Master Tianhai said, "That place is the last heritage of Mount Putuo. Now I am waiting for you to become a martial artist of the Tenth Realm, and then I can hand it over to you completely."

Chen Ku's face became serious: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of my uncle."

"I'm leaving now, old monk."

Zen Master Tianhai returned to Yandu City.

Chen Ku did not stay outside for long. He used a method of invisibility and returned quietly to Shenwu Mountain. He went to his own courtyard and took back the incarnation that remained there.

Then he got the news about Shenwu Mountain during the few days when he entered the Land of Five Elements.

Nothing major happened on Shenwu Mountain, and the students were attending classes and practicing as normal.

But bad news came from the front battlefield.

Xiang Kunlun, who had just conquered the first city since the anti-Yuan war, was defeated by a Qigong general from the Yuan Dynasty in a battle between the two armies on the front line.

It is said that the Qigong practitioner of the Yuan Kingdom was named "Yuan Wutian" and was said to be from the 'Sanxing Cave', one of the holy places for Qigong practitioners of the Yuan Kingdom.

He fought with Xiang Kunlun, known as the 'Five-clawed Golden Dragon', outside Daliang City, north of Liangzhou, for three days and three nights. However, unexpectedly, even Xiang Kunlun, who was said to have the power of five hundred dragons, was defeated by Yuan Wutian.

This battle dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers who had just recovered a lost territory not long ago, and had a significant impact on the morale of the soldiers on the front line.

As a result, the students in the Shenwu Academy were outraged and practiced even harder.

"Even the five-clawed golden dragon Xiang Kunlun will encounter a powerful opponent from the enemy country. There are still seven or eight months before he goes to the battlefield. He must seize the time to practice..."

Chen Ku began to sit cross-legged on the ground, releasing the power of the 'Nine Realms Peak True Blood' from the transformation of Jinxu Nu, feeling the process of marrow cleansing and blood transfusion.

"As I expected, true marrow produces true blood, and true blood replenishes true marrow. The two complement each other. Now that I have Jinxu Nu's ninth-level peak blood, the time it takes for me to cultivate to the eighth-level peak true marrow can be reduced by more than half."

In this way, Chen Ku chose to improve his own cultivation first. On the second day, he still did not report to the major halls and chose to take leave to practice in seclusion.

……

at the same time.

Ninety-eight thousand miles west of Yandu City, there is a land surrounded by mountains. Here, fairy mountains rise into the sky, and the mountains are full of blessed places, caves and immortal grottoes.

The mountains here stretch out for hundreds of thousands of miles, and among them there are countless magical beasts and ancient species. Among the mountains, there are also many practitioners living in huts and wearing Taoist robes.

There are many palaces on the mountains.

The owner of these palaces and mountains is the Doushen Palace, one of the seven martial arts holy places in the world. (End of this chapter)
