Chu Li let out a long sigh and smiled.
He had been predicting Kou Jin's fate and saw his future from time to time, which was constantly changing.
He was obviously a huge variable that could change his fate through intervention. Kou Jin was originally killed by Cheng Yuan but now he was killed by Chu Li. The future could be changed.
Chu Li always knew that the future could be changed or else the Heaven Shaking Tower would not be able to snatch other people's fortuitous encounters. He did not know how much effort was needed to change the future but it did not seem difficult now.
His future of dying at Du Kelan's hands could be changed too. This made him more relaxed.
There was another reason why he killed Kou Jin. He knew that Kou Jin had already mastered the Blood Jade Divine Claw, but he had already destroyed the original manual of the Blood Jade Divine Claw. However, he had left behind a mural of the Blood Jade Divine Claw and hidden it in a hidden cave.
He already knew the location of the cave from Kou Jin's mind so if he could get the Blood Jade Divine Claw, there was no need to keep him alive. There was no need for Cheng Yuan to deal with such a disaster. Chu Li could just kill him and do Cheng Yuan a favor.
He was tricked by Kou Jin earlier and returned good for evil by asking Cheng Yuan for help. As long as it was not Divine Demon Herbs, Cheng Yuan would not reject him. This way, he could get the Blood Jade Divine Claw.
He had high hopes for the Blood Jade Divine Claw.
If he could get the Divine Claw, even if it was not as powerful as the nine swords combined into one, it was more sudden and impossible to defend against. Du Kelan thought that his swordsmanship was excellent and once he knocked his sword away, he would let his guard down. If he gave him another claw, there was a high chance of success.
Moreover, the Blood Jade Divine Claw was so powerful at only the sixth level. It was worth learning.
"Young Master Wu!" He stood in front of Kou Jin and before he could look down to see if there was anything good on him, Cheng Yuan's voice came from behind.
Cheng Yuan stepped in front of him and closed fist saluted. "Thank you, Young Master Wu!"
He glanced at Dou Xun and nodded. "Young Dou, you're doing well, right?"
"Yes, Sect Leader." Dou Xun closed fist saluted.
Cheng Yuan said, "As a disciple on duty, it's rare that you don't run from danger!"
Dou Xun became even more respectful.
Cheng Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Young Master Wu saved you this time. Remember to repay this life-saving grace in the future!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Dou Xun hurriedly nodded.
He did not thank Chu Li again. He knew that Chu Li would not be patient with such things, so he just nodded without saying a word.
Cheng Yuan looked at Chu Li and smiled. "Young Master Wu, thank you for getting rid of this scourge and saving me from embarrassment."
Chu Li smiled and said, "There's no need to be so courteous, Sect Leader. It's better to get rid of such a violent and cruel person, lest he brings disaster to the world!"
"Exactly." Cheng Yuan sighed and said, "I'm partly responsible for this matter. Back then, I was too soft-hearted and didn't kill him directly, causing him to become like this. Sigh …"
He shook his head. If it wasn't for Wu Yuansi, Dou Xun would have died today. It wasn't easy for the sect to nurture a disciple, and it was truly unjust for him to die at Kou Jin's hands. It also made him feel guilty, and it was no different from taking the blame for himself.
Chu Li glanced at Dou Xun.
Dou Xun nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Sect Leader, I'll take my leave first."
"Go." Cheng Yuan waved his hand and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li waited for Dou Xun to leave, then looked at Cheng Yuan with a smile. "Sect Leader Cheng, I heard from him that it was because of the Divine Blood Claw?"
Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly and sighed. "Yes, when I was young, I was impetuous and greedy, so when I saw a good secret manual, I wanted to take it for myself to enrich our Great Dream Sect's book collection."
Chu Li said, "I have a favor to ask."
"Tell me about it." Cheng Yuan frowned, worried that Chu Li would mention the Divine Demon Herb.
He had indeed done wrong in this matter and was suspected of bullying the weak, but the matter was too important, so he could only let Chu Li suffer.
Chu Li smiled and waved his hand. "Don't worry, Sect Leader Cheng, it's not the Divine Demon Herb. I can only blame myself for being too naive, no one else can be blamed."
Cheng Yuan said, "Yuansi, you should know my intentions. Qing Song has a great responsibility and can't afford to fail, so he's the most suitable candidate for the Divine Demon Herb. I can only let you suffer."
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, I have nothing to say when it concerns Asura, but if I really have the chance to get the Divine Demon Herb, I won't hand it over without harming myself."
"That's for sure." Cheng Yuan smiled.
No one would hand it over. After all, the Divine Demon Herb was related to the Path of Ascension, and there was a high possibility of ascending to the Upper Heaven.
Chu Li said, "I want to see the Bloody Jade Divine Claw."
"Bloody Jade Divine Claw?" Cheng Yuan was stunned. He did not expect Chu Li to ask for this.
He looked at Chu Li and saw that Chu Li's expression was clear and confident. Cheng Yuan sighed. "I only got the second half, the first half is with Kou Jin. Unfortunately, with his temperament, it's impossible for him to carry the secret manual, and it's very likely that he's already destroyed the secret manual, so the Bloody Jade Divine Claw is extinct. It's useless for you to only look at the second half, you can't cultivate it."
Chu Li said, "I can't cultivate it?"
"The heart technique of the Bloody Jade Divine Claw is in the first half, the second half is just some moves and energy channeling method. Without the heart technique to complement it, it's flashy but impractical." Cheng Yuan shook his head and sighed. "What a pity!"
The Bloody Jade Divine Claw was indeed a divine technique, its power was above all other claw techniques. If a talented person cultivated it to perfection, it would probably shine brilliantly and become a top-notch martial art.
Unfortunately, it was lost because of Kou Jin, what a sinner!
Chu Li smiled. "It doesn't matter if I have the first half or not, seeing such an antique study, I want to see it. If you can give me the second half of the secret manual, that would be great!"
"… Alright, it's useless for me to keep it, it's fine to give it to you. It'll be my thanks for eliminating him." Cheng Yuan pondered for a while and slowly nodded.
The second half of the Bloody Jade Divine Claw was placed in the Sutra Library, no one had read it. The disciples of the Great Dream Sect were not interested in claw techniques, and only the second half could not be cultivated at all. It was better to give it to Wu Yuansi as a favor.
With that thought in mind, he simply agreed.
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled. "Thank you, Sect Leader Cheng."
"It's good that you don't blame me." Cheng Yuan smiled. "Please wait."
He turned and took a step out, disappearing in front of Chu Li.
After a while, he reappeared with a thick yellow book in his hand and handed it to Chu Li. "This is the second half of the Bloody Jade Divine Claw, take it."
Chu Li fist saluted and took it. He quickly flipped through it and imprinted it in the depths of his mind. He nodded thoughtfully.
There were a total of fifty-four claw techniques recorded in the second half, and each technique was accompanied by a heart technique. There was a total of six levels, and each level had nine techniques.
The fifty-four claw techniques had a special characteristic, which was that they went from complex to simple. The higher the level, the simpler the claw technique and the more concise the techniques were. It seemed easy to break, but it followed the path of using strength to control finesse.
Chu Li squinted his eyes and calculated in his mind for a moment. He nodded slowly. From complex to simple, from finesse to clumsiness, from finesse to finesse. This claw technique was deep and brilliant, but ultimately returned to the plain path.
Cheng Yuan looked at his face, and when he saw him smile, he smiled too.
Chu Li looked up at him and praised, "What an exquisite palm technique!"
"It's exquisite, but it's a pity that you can't cultivate it." Cheng Yuan shook his head and sighed. "I advise you not to cultivate it rashly, or you'll suffer from the backlash. This is a lesson for the disciples of the Great Dream Sect."
