31: Chapter 31 Nine Prisons Demon Suppression Technique

"It is exactly the Qin Family you know."

Hearing this, Gu Han instantly understood Zhang Qi's actions.

The Qin Family of the capital had existed since before the founding of Great Chu.

The Qin Family was also a meritorious vassal that assisted the Grand Ancestor of Great Chu in establishing the nation.

Within the clan, there were countless experts.

While other founding families were persecuted by the Imperial Family, the Qin Family remained standing firm.

Rumor had it that the Qin Family possessed the strength to contend with the Great Chu Imperial Family.

While talking, the two arrived at the Zhenwu Division's Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

The Cultivation Technique Pavilion was located deep within the Sky Prison.

This Cultivation Technique Pavilion was not the true main pavilion of the Zhenwu Division, but merely a branch.

After passing through three heavy Profound Iron gates, Gu Han finally stood before the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

Two silver-armored guards stood with halberds; just their sweep of the eyes made him feel like needles were at his back. These were definitely Primordial Core Realm experts.

"Lord Zheng's hand order."

Zhang Qi respectfully handed over the token.

"Go in!"

"Time limit: one hour."

"Gu Han, go in!"

"Pick your Cultivation Technique carefully."

"Don't miss this rare opportunity."

"Also, your contribution points can be used to exchange for techniques."

Zhang Qi urged Gu Han.

Hearing this, Gu Han cupped his fists and bid farewell to Zhang Qi.

Stepping into the pavilion, Gu Han's pupils constricted suddenly.

The internal space of the entire pavilion was more than ten times larger than its exterior appearance.

Inside, three levels of bookshelves spiraled upward, each Secret Manual shrouded in spiritual light.

The first floor held Body Tempering Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

The second floor held Meridian Connecting Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

The highest floor was for the Primordial Core Realm.

As for techniques beyond the Divine Intent Realm, one could only obtain them at the Zhenwu Division's main pavilion.

Seeing this, Gu Han bypassed the first floor and walked straight toward the second.

When Gu Han stepped onto the second floor,

he found that there were far fewer Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals compared to the first floor.

Moreover, these techniques were very new; they were all copies, not the originals.

"Interesting..."

Gu Han's gaze swept across the dazzling array of cultivation classics, finally settling on a dust-covered Secret Manual in the corner—the Hundred Meridians Profound Formula.

Briefly flipping through it, Gu Han found that this cultivation Secret Manual could only open twelve Meridians.

Furthermore, they completely overlapped with the Meridians he had already opened.

Gu Han placed the Hundred Meridians Profound Formula back in its original place, and his fingertips suddenly brushed against a hidden layer of the bookshelf.

A yellowed Incomplete Manual slid out silently, the five blood-red words on the cover—Nine Hells Demon Suppressing Art—striking the eye.

"Could this be my fortuitous encounter?"

Gu Han couldn't help but joke to himself.

Gu Han had just opened the first page of the Nine Hells Demon Suppressing Art.

Five Elements as one, Nine Hells connect the Meridians.

Nine Hells True Qi, circulating through the entire body.

Meridian cycle, the supreme Foundation.

If the Five Elements are not unified, Cultivating will inevitably lead to chaos, causing the body to explode and death.

Just these few lines of text made Gu Han feel the extraordinary nature of this technique.

At the same time, Gu Han also became puzzled.

Since it was such a powerful technique, why did no one Cultivate it?

Or rather, why had no one discovered it?

Or was it that this technique itself had flaws?

...

Countless doubts arose, but they still couldn't make Gu Han put down this technique.

Suppressing the various confusions in his heart, he continued reading.

But as he read further, Gu Han's pupils couldn't help but constrict.

The descriptions later in the technique involved using an extremely violent and ruthless method to forcibly widen one's own Meridians.

The Five Elements True Qi would be reverse-refined and unified into Nine Hells True Qi.

At the same time, one had to open the Hidden Meridians deep within the human body.

The human body has a total of one hundred and eight Manifest Meridians.

Two hundred and fifty-seven Hidden Meridians.

Combined, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-five Meridians.

Compared to current mainstream Meridian Connecting Realm techniques, it was simply unorthodox and rebellious.

Moreover, most of the Hidden Meridians described in this Nine Hells Demon Suppressing Art were merely the conjectures and imaginations of the technique's creator.

This technique could no longer be described as Heaven-Defying; it was simply playing with one's life.

But the more dangerous it was, the greater the attraction it held for Gu Han.

He was someone who naturally loved challenging the impossible.

Besides, with the System around, he wasn't worried at all.

"No wonder no one Cultivates it."

"This thing has a high starting point."

"Cultivating it also costs your life."

"With the slightest mistake, Qi Deviation is the norm, and becoming a human bomb isn't impossible either."

Gu Han couldn't help but mock.

However, he still decided to Cultivate it.

After all, it was extremely difficult to come across a technique that developed so many Meridians.

Furthermore, if he wanted to continue collecting Meridian Connecting Realm techniques, not only would it waste time, but the financial cost would also be enormous.

After all, the more obscure the Meridians a technique developed, the rarer it was.

Besides, right now, the Sky Prison was about to face a wave of turmoil.

He urgently needed to increase his cultivation.

However, he didn't want to condense a Yuan Dan before his Meridians reached Perfection.

As an ambitious Transmigrator, he had to be invincible in every Realm.

"Practice it."

"If others won't practice it, I will."

"brother system, I'm counting on you."

Immediately after, Gu Han put the technique away and continued his selection.

After some deliberation and consideration, Gu Han chose a movement Martial Skill—Wind Shadow Steps.

This was a Martial Skill that could greatly enhance movement speed.

Its unique feature was that the practitioner could burst forth with astonishing speed in an instant.

They could even leave afterimages in the enemy's eyes, thereby gaining the initiative in battle.

The cultivation requirements for Wind Shadow Steps were not high; anyone with a cultivation of the third level of the Meridian Connecting Realm or above could practice it.

However, its true power would gradually reveal itself as one's Realm increased.

Gu Han thought that this Martial Skill could well compensate for his current shortcoming of insufficient cultivation.

Especially when facing a strong enemy, he could rely on fast movement to dodge attacks and look for opportunities to counterattack.

The main strategy was: if you can't win, run.

After choosing these two techniques, Gu Han went to the registration desk.

"Nine Hells Demon Suppressing Art?"

The Old Man in Gray Robe at the registration desk suddenly looked up, a sharp light bursting from his cloudy eyes.

"Kid, are you sure you want to choose this?"

Gu Han's heart jumped, but he didn't show it on his face, asking cautiously.

"Senior, this technique?"

"Heh..."

The old man suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"The last one who chose this technique has probably gone through Reincarnation countless times by now."

"I'll give you another chance; go back and pick a different one."

"Kid, don't be attracted by the theory of this technique."

"It's all a lie."

"It's just something to bluff people."

"It's entirely made up of imaginary things."

"Since the birth of the Martial Dao, after being optimized by so many predecessors, do we have the current perfected Martial Dao System."

Thank you for the reminder, Senior.

Gu Han gave a respectful bow, yet he gripped the Nine Hells Demon Suppressing Art even tighter.

"I still want to try."

"If it really doesn't work, I'll give up."

The old man stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes.

"So you've already opened sixty-four Meridians."

"Your blood Qi is incredibly thick; you've likely gone quite far in the Body Tempering Realm."

"You've even practiced a concealment technique to Perfection."

"Another one eager to condense a supreme Yuan Dan."

"No wonder you were attracted by this broken technique."

Seeing the old man see through his cultivation and even guess most of his thoughts,

Gu Han's expression changed instantly, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Under the old man's scrutinizing gaze, everything about Gu Han was transparent.

Seeing Gu Han like this, the old man couldn't help but chuckle.

"Where did that Aura go just now, the one that was determined to practice this fake technique?"

Seeing the old man's expression and tone, the fear in Gu Han's heart lessened slightly.

But the wariness in his heart remained highly tense.

Seeing Gu Han relax slightly but still look wary, the old man teased again.

"Kid, don't worry."

"I'm just a bit interested in you."

"To be able to open so many Meridians on your own, you can be considered a Genius."

"Kid, it's still not too late to regret it now."
