Chapter 6492: Hundred Methods of Gu Control

“You conceited old thing. Why don’t you tell me now if nurture or plunder is more important?” Chu Feng looked at the entity beside Jie Tianran.

The entity didn’t answer, but his animosity could be felt from the intensity of his glare. He was livid, but he had already outgrown throwing tantrums. Instead, he burst into laughter.

“Kikiki... Jie Tianran, you worked so hard only to become your grandson’s stepping stone. You didn’t notice that your grandson has tampered with the gu. I have imparted the Immemorial Gu Art to you in vain.”

Jie Tianran replied, “There’s nothing wrong with the gu. It’s the energy nourishing the gu.”

He turned to Chu Feng and said, “You intentionally allowed my red monstrous beast to siphon your tree’s energy. You tampered with that energy with a gu control skill.”

“You’re smarter than the other old thing.” Chu Feng nodded.

“Junior Chu Feng, did you do that on purpose? I was fooled by your acting!” Wen Xue widened her eyes in astonishment.

“You helped me well.” Chu Feng smiled.

“Of course. We have a telepathic connection.”

Wen Xue scratched her head in embarrassment. She hadn’t known that Chu Feng was acting and thought he was truly angry and wanted to pit his life against them. She was earnestly trying to dissuade him from doing so.

That, in turn, made Chu Feng’s act more realistic.

“Even the earlier attack from the butterfly army on purpose. You intentionally induced the metamorphosis of my gu. It’s also not by coincidence that your consciousness didn’t dissipate. You have acquired some kind of means here. I’m curious to know you pulled it off,” Jie Tianran asked.

Instead of answering the question, Chu Feng unleashed his psyche, but this time, it was far stronger than what he had previously revealed.

“Psyche? Was it when you picked your bloodline?” Jie Tianran asked.

“That’s right. Picking a world spiritist bloodline does grant you some psyche, but picking a cultivator bloodline grants you even more psyche,” Chu Feng replied.

“I didn’t think that there was such a dynamic at play. I was careless. But you acquired your gu control skills from this remnant, right? You must have received the remnant’s support, or else you couldn’t have slipped your gu control skill into your tree’s energy without me noticing,” Jie Tianran asked.

Chu Feng was astounded.

Jie Tianran might have been a poor excuse of a human being, but there was no denying that he was a highly talented world spiritist. His conjectures were all on the mark!

Chu Feng’s gu control skill was indeed acquired from the remnant, or more specifically, the stone realm. While deciphering the method to draw his consciousness from his body, he also discovered the gu control skill as well. That was why he had spent such a long time there.

The gu control skill was created by Qin Jiu, and its name was the Hundred Methods of Gu Control. The bulk of its content was about lifting gus, but there were also details about creating and planting gus.

Chu Feng figured that the Hundred Methods of Gu Control was the true legacy of this remnant, and that only those who discovered it would have a chance to obtain it in its entirety. Those who failed to notice it, even if they fulfilled all the criteria, would only obtain the key fragment.

That was also why it took Chu Feng so long to decipher the content in the stone realm, so much so that Jie Tianran overtook him and entered a cavern first.

“Looks like I’m right,” Jie Tianran sneered at Chu Feng’s lack of response.

“Does it matter? You still lost,” Wen Xue scoffed.

Jie Tianran ignored Wen Xue and continued addressing Chu Feng, “Chu Feng, you might have outdone me today, but that’s only because you were protected by the Ancestral Martial Spiritist Sect. You won’t be as lucky once we’re out of here.”

Right after those words were uttered, Jie Tianran’s face stiffened.

The tower collapsed into a swirl of spirit power before manifesting into a spirit formation gate.

As soon as the spirit formation gate appeared, the realm began collapsing from the far distance.

The trial was over.

Chu Feng and Wen Xue could simply enter the spirit formation gate and leave, but Jie Tianran and the entity beside him wouldn’t be able to do the same. Ironically, they were held in place by the gu they had painstakingly nurtured.

“You loser old thing! Still trying to intimidate us? You should worry about yourself first! Let’s see how you cope with this!” Wen Xue spat gloatingly.

“No one knows what the future holds in store, but there is one thing I know for certain. It’s only a matter of time before I surpass you, and that day isn’t that far away,” Chu Feng declared.

“Hahaha... Hahahahaha....” Jie Tianran laughed for a long time before he turned to Chu Feng. Despite having his neck clutched by the humanoid gu, his eyes still reflected an unnerving glint. “Do you know what my current cultivation level is?”

“It matters not. You’ll soon be trampled beneath my feet,” Chu Feng replied with a smile. He remained confident and composed despite Jie Tianran’s threat.

“Very well. I hope that you’ll still have that smile the next time we meet.”

Jie Tianran and the entity’s consciousness began to shatter. They were intentionally pushing themselves beyond their limits to leave this place.

“I didn’t expect those two losers to have such a trick up their sleeves,” Wen Xue remarked with a sigh.

Chu Feng’s face darkened. He grabbed Wen Xue and dashed out of the spirit formation gate.

“Why are you in such a rush, junior? Are there other benefits to claim?” Wen Xue was confused.

“Jie Tianran won’t let things rest easily. He’ll try to seal our paths of escape,” Chu Feng replied.

Wen Xue widened her eyes. “What about the gu? Aren’t you going to bring it with you?”

The gu looked powerful. It would be a pity if they couldn’t take it out with them.

“It’s designed specifically for this trial. It’s impossible to take it out. Even if I find a way to do so, it’ll be severely weakened once it is taken out of this remnant.”

Chu Feng and Wen Xue left the spirit formation gate, and their consciousness returned to their bodies. At the same time, the key fragment also entered Chu Feng’s body.

A spirit formation gate manifested before Chu Feng and Wen Xue.
