Chapter 3398: Flower Gathering Secret Technique, Absurd Wu Family
One elder after another looked at the sky, gazing at the converging cold plum blossoms, all with shocked expressions.
"Such a strong bloodline!"
"I wonder which junior has awakened the Cold Plum bloodline, to cause such an unusual phenomenon."
"Remarkable! Our Cold Water Holy Land is about to produce another peerless genius."
The elders knew what this phenomenon represented and became excited one after another.
Although the young disciples didnât know what the phenomenon meant, they knew it must not be a bad thing.
The Cold Plum bloodline was the highest bloodline of the Cold Water Holy Land.
Many disciples even vaguely felt their own bloodlines boiling, just like their hearts.
Wu Xingguang was in his own courtyard, looking at the distant cold plum blossoms, feeling vaguely uneasy.
He said in a low voice, "Elder, do you know whatâs happening?"
The Wu familyâs seventh-level elder said, "According to family records, the Gu family of the Cold Water Holy Land possesses the Cold Plum bloodline. Once this bloodline awakens, cultivating the Ice Great Dao becomes twice as effective, and the power of related secret techniques and spells greatly increases."
"But the Cold Plum bloodline is not easy to awaken. It often only awakens after reaching the seventh level. Even the current Holy Lord Gu Hanyu has not awakened the Cold Plum bloodline."
"This time the Cold Water Holy Land has a Cold Plum bloodline awakening. I donât know if itâs one of their elders or someone else. If itâs an elder, thatâs normal. If itâs someone else, it only means the Cold Water Holy Landâs luck is flourishing and theyâve produced a peerless genius."
Wu Xingguang frowned, "Could they be more of a genius than me?"
The seventh-level elder said, "You canât compare like that. The definition of genius isnât about a moment, but about a lifetime. Itâs about who can go further and live longer in this lifetime of cultivation. Even the most genius person, if they fall halfway, theyâre no longer a genius."
A dead genius is no different from an ordinary person.
Wu Xingguang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Once I marry Gu Hanjing and use the secret technique to take all her cultivation, this young masterâs achievements will certainly not be inferior to any genius of this age."
The seventh-level elder said, "Even so, we must act carefully. We canât kill her, otherwise we wonât be able to explain to the Cold Water Holy Land."
Wu Xingguang chuckled, "Of course, I do have some self-control."
...
Several minutes after the cold plum blossoms appeared, they finally disappeared. Gu Hanjing slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, her aura had qualitatively changed, advancing from the third level of Dao Venerable to the fourth level.
Moreover, her potential was far from fully released. In the long period to come, her cultivation would rapidly increase.
Reaching the fifth level of Dao Venerable wouldnât be a problem, and even the sixth level wasnât impossible.
After suffering for so many years and escaping death, she would naturally receive ample rewards.
"Sister!" Gu Hanjing excitedly bounced over, throwing herself into Gu Hanyuâs arms.
Gu Hanyu was also teary-eyed at this moment, "Jingâer has finally returned."
Gu Hanjing giggled, "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 person looks better than your soul."
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Are you complimenting me on looking good, or criticizing my soul for being ugly?"
Gu Hanjing giggled, "That depends on how brother-in-law wants to take it."
At this time, she noticed that Gu Cang and Gu Hanbing were also here. Her expression became strange, "Ice Ancestor, Cang Ancestor, why are you here too?"
Ice Ancestor said, "Donât you know what just happened?"
Gu Hanjing said, "What could have happened? I just broke through, thatâs all!"
Ice Ancestor said, "Do you know that youâve awakened the Cold Plum bloodline?"
Gu Hanjing was clearly unaware of what had just happened, and didnât know she had awakened the Cold Plum bloodline.
Ice Ancestor said, "Use your full power and try to sense your bloodline."
Gu Hanjing did as told. Powerful aura shot to the sky, her bloodline surging.
On Gu Hanjingâs brow, a cold plum blossom appeared, lifelike and very clear.
The clearer the cold plum blossom, the stronger her Cold Plum bloodline.
Cang Ancestor said, "Not bad, youâve awakened a very strong Cold Plum bloodline."
Ice Ancestor said in a low voice, "Good, you qualify to become the new Holy Lord."
Gu Hanjing exclaimed, "Me, become Holy Lord?"
Ice Ancestor said, "Thatâs right. Hanyu is about to get married, leaving the position of Holy Lord vacant. Originally we were discussing having Hanyu choose someone, but now that youâve awakened the Cold Plum bloodline, according to the Holy Landâs rules, youâre the next Holy Lord."
Gu Hanjing quickly said, "No, I canât do it. I donât have that ability."
Cang Ancestor chuckled, "Donât worry about that. Among us elders, many have been Holy Lords before. They will all teach you."
"And with Ice Ancestor supporting you from behind, what are you afraid of? If anyone doesnât obey, beat them until they do!"
Ice Ancestor said, "This is this ancestorâs decision, and also your sisterâs decision. You canât disobey."
At this time, Gu Hanjing looked pitifully at Gu Hanyu, "Sister, help me say something. I really canât do it."
Gu Hanyu shook her head, "Itâs no problem. Sister believes in you."
For her own and Lin Moyuâs happiness, Gu Hanyu directly sold out Gu Hanjing.
Now Gu Hanjing was like being roasted on fire, having to go up whether she wanted to or not.
Finally, with great reluctance, Gu Hanjing could only agree.
Looking at Gu Hanjingâs bitter face, as if saying sheâd rather fight soul worms than this, just out of the tigerâs mouth and into the wolfâs den, her suffering wasnât over yet.
Gu Hanyu smiled and said, "Jingâer, thereâs one more thing for you to do. Young Master Wu Xingguang of the Wu family wants to propose marriage to you."
"What!"
Gu Hanjing jumped up with a scream. This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking her to the core.
Not just her, but the two elders were also shocked. Ice Ancestor said, "Has that fellow gone mad? Holy Lord, didnât you refuse?"
Gu Hanyu said, "I did refuse, but heâs holding your token, Ice Ancestor. He insists that Jingâer must refuse in person. You know Jingâerâs previous condition, how could she refuse in person?"
Ice Ancestor thought for a moment, "Years ago, the Wu family helped me once, so I left them a token that would allow them to make one not-too-excessive request. As time passed, I forgot about this matter. I didnât expect it to be used like this. But why do they want to marry Jingâer?"
Gu Hanyu shared her guess, mentioning the Ice Soul Secret Technique.
Cang Ancestor frowned, "It should be because of the Wu familyâs Flower Gathering Secret Technique."
Ice Ancestor asked, "What is the Flower Gathering Secret Technique?"
Cang Ancestor 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 about. This technique can absorb the cultivation of the dual cultivation partner, transferring the other partyâs cultivation to oneself."
"The Wu family has used this secret technique to do many absurd and outrageous things in the past."
Gu Hanjing asked curiously, "How absurd?"
Cang Ancestor said, "When the Wu familyâs ancestors were nearing the end of their lifespan, they would have their descendants use this secret technique to absorb their cultivation."
"Dual cultivation technique, absorbing cultivation, from their own ancestors..." Gu Hanjing finally understood, her cheeks turning red, "What a shameless technique."
Ice Ancestorâs face was gloomy at this point, "So youâre saying, the Wu family learned about Hanjingâs situation, and wants to use the Ice Soul Secret Technique along with their Flower Gathering Secret Technique to absorb all of Hanjingâs cultivation?"
Cang Ancestor nodded, "It should be so. I know there are several elders in the Holy Land who have long wanted to send Hanjing away. In their eyes, Hanjing has long been useless. Using this to form a marriage alliance with the Wu family is also a good choice for them."
Ice Ancestor snorted coldly, "We need to investigate which fellow came up with this idea. This ancestor wants to teach them a lesson."
Hearing that some elders wanted to use her as a tool, Gu Hanjingâs face also turned ashen.
Gu Hanyu gently squeezed her hand, "Jingâer, some things may be different from what you imagine. Once you take the position of Holy Lord, youâll gradually understand."
