I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 135: Beidou Tianxuan True Gang

After returning to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Han Zheng rested for one night to recover his strength.

The next day, Han Zheng went to seek Wen Tingyun and received a mandate to select his own Cultivation Technique from the inner chamber of the Guardian Storage.

The inner chamber of the Guardian Storage wasn't managed by Sister Taozi but by an old Xuanjia Guard with white hair who led Han Zheng into the inner parts of the Guardian Storage. The sight that met his eyes was walls crafted from refined steel, giving off a cold and stern feeling.

Stored here were the real treasures of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, all kinds of Cultivation Technique resources, and not a single loss could be afforded.

Inside the steel walls, arrays were inscribed as well, and any demonic or strange beings that entered would immediately trigger these arrays.

In the deepest part was a gate covered in dazzling arrays, guarded by two expressionless Xuanjia Guards, both at the Peak of the Innate Transcendence Realm.

The elder Xuanjia Guard first showed Wen Tingyun's mandate, then took out his own, registered Han Zheng's name, and only then did the two guards open the gate.

Inside was a spacious room after room, neatly storing various resources.

The elder Xuanjia Guard said, "Han, you may now enter and make your selection. Cultivation Techniques above the Xuan Gang Realm are somewhat special, and cannot be taken out. However, you have six hours to memorize them.

I will be guarding here for that duration. Should you have any requests or questions, I will be here to offer advice."

"Thank you very much, Elder."

The elder Xuanjia Guard chuckled and said, "There's no need for politeness. I am Zhang Zhao, and I've spent a lifetime at the Demon Cleansing Bureau. Unfortunately, I'm not of much use and had already retired to the back due to serious injuries to spend my old age here.

Thanks to the kindness of the Chief Commander and the hard fights of you young people, us invalids can still enjoy such good treatment. Otherwise, my old bones would be offered to the demons, though I fear they might not even fancy them."

The demons cleansing Bureau had some rather humane rules.

For Xuanjia Guards who were in their old age with declining vitality and serious decline in strength, or those who were seriously injured and could no longer fight, the Demon Cleansing Bureau would arrange retirement positions for them to utilize their residual heat.

Of course, if one tired of the fighting and wanted to leave the Demon Cleansing Bureau permanently, after being given a restriction not to spread their Cultivation Techniques, the Demon Cleansing Bureau would also provide them with some money to retire.

This was the case with Zhang Zhao. Having worked in the Demon Cleansing Bureau all his life, he wasn't accustomed to living elsewhere and preferred to end his days in the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

What was rare about him, however, was that he didn't show off his seniority and was full of goodwill towards young people like Han Zheng.

"Elder Zhang, I'd like to choose a Gang Skill; which area should I look in?"

From the start, Han Zheng had planned to use his reward to exchange for a powerful Gang Skill.

In terms of Cultivation Techniques, Han Zheng really wasn't lacking at the moment, but he was on the verge of breaking through to the Xuan Gang Realm, so he was indeed in urgent need of a sufficiently powerful Gang Skill.

Zhang Zhao looked at Han Zheng with slight astonishment, then praised, "Are you preparing to step into the Xuan Gang Realm? Tsk tsk, this generation of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department truly is brimming with outstanding individuals."

Saying so, Zhang Zhao pointed to a room: "Compared to Cultivation Techniques, our Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department does not have an extensive collection of Gang Skills—only thirty-seven.

The most expensive among these Gang Skills is 'Beidou Tianxuan True Gang,' valued at three thousand Merit Points, a secret Taoist Gang Skill, though it is somewhat difficult to cultivate.

Therefore, I suggest you choose the second most expensive, 'Bright Light Vidyārāja Dharma Protecting God Gang,' valued at two thousand three hundred Merit Points, a secret Buddhist Gang Skill, immense and powerful, fast in terms of cultivation progress with no side effects.

Of course, the specific choice is still up to you to decide."

The reward that Han Zheng received allowed him to freely choose a Xuan Gang Realm Cultivation Technique to cultivate, and theoretically, choosing the most expensive one would be correct.

But that was just theory. Cultivation Techniques should not be chosen just for their price, but rather the right one for oneself.

Both Gang Skills had their detailed descriptions. Han Zheng read through them and ultimately decided to choose Beidou Tianxuan True Gang.

It wasn't because of its high price, but because of its sufficient might.

Bright Light Vidyārāja Dharma Protecting God Gang was almost a Gang Skill without any side effects, mighty in power, with a rapid speed of condensing Gang Qi, grand and immense, with its Gang Qi having the attribute of suppressing and punishing demons.

On the other hand, Beidou Tianxuan True Gang presented some difficulty at the entry-level of cultivation.

The Southern Dipper governs life, the Northern Dipper governs death.

Most Gang Skills came with attributes of ice, fire, wind, thunder, and the like, including the Demon Suppressing Buddha Light, as well as the attribute of Killing Intent embodied by Chou Jingxiao's Beichen Sky Wolf True Gang.

However, the attribute of this Beidou Tianxuan True Gang was most unique—it was the ultimate intent of death. Its Gang Qi, once condensed, could strip away vitality, obliterate any force, and was extremely domineering.

Even at achieving Great Success in the Xuan Gang Realm, if the Gang Qi was sufficiently powerful, one could lay out the Absolute Formation Domain filled with Beidou Tianxuan True Gang.

Once activated, everything within the domain would become a land of death, supremely overbearing.

It was precisely because of this might that Beidou Tianxuan True Gang was the most expensive Cultivation Technique within the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.

However, its entry was extremely difficult. One needed to contemplate the Seven Stars Map in the technique to understand its intent of death before cultivating it.

Many had exchanged for this cultivation technique before, only to find themselves unable to grasp its essence of death, rendering the technique impossible to cultivate.

Others spent more than a decade before successfully comprehending it, but by that time, they had already reached the late stages of the Xuan Gang Realm, and only then did they begin to cultivate the Gang Skill.

Three thousand merit points wasn't a small sum, and even a Demon Sweeping Captain would have to accumulate it over a long time.

As a result, most were hesitant to gamble on whether they could successfully cultivate the technique.

Therefore, this Gang Skill had not been exchanged in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department for over three hundred years.

But this was of little concern to Han Zheng.

He was confident in his own aptitude, and even if truly understanding the essence of death proved difficult, with the Taotie Furnace at hand, he could simply rely on time to build up his expertise.

"Elder Zhang, I choose the 'Beidou Tianxuan True Gang'."

Zhang Zhao nodded and said solemnly, "Han, you have six hours to memorize the technique. I'll remind you when time is nearly up."

Zhang Zhao didn't say much about Han Zheng's choice.

His own peak achievement had been nothing more than that of a Team Leader wearing Golden Pattern Armor, a position he reached in middle age by slowly accumulating merit points.

Han Zheng was so young and already a Golden Rune Team Leader with numerous great accomplishments. Being granted a Xuan Gang Realm cultivation technique while still at the Innate Realm, such a remarkable individual didn't need his advice.

Taking the technique, Han Zheng didn't waste any time, quickly imprinting every detail into his memory.

Especially the Seven Stars Map, which recorded the nuances of the Gang Skill; he etched every detail firmly into his mind.

Cultivation techniques broken through within the Taotie Melting Furnace naturally came with a 10% skill level, but those obtained from the outside world didn't enjoy such benefit.

"Time's up, Han," Zhang Zhao announced.

The allotted six hours having passed, Han Zheng let out a breath and set the technique down.

"Thank you, Elder Zhang."

After returning the technique, Han Zheng walked out of the inner chamber, just in time to see Ye Liuyun and others, as well as many Xuanjia Guards from the Demon Department, exchanging various items in the Guardian Storage.

Everyone had received generous rewards from this mission and naturally came to exchange resources.

"Brother Ye, Miss Ye, Brother Yang, I've made a windfall this time. Tonight, at the Jinxiu House, dinner's on me."

Han Zheng had been poor during his time in Black Stone County but became somewhat wealthy after swallowing the Song Family's fortune.

This time, by slaying Chou Jingxiao, he earned a substantial amount of gold bricks, making a killing.

Upon returning, Han Zheng examined the gold bricks – each weighing about ten pounds, with hundreds neatly stacked in his Qiankun Bag.

This windfall was far from small, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a fortune.

Ye Caiyun smiled and said, "If Han Brother is treating us, then I won't hold back when ordering."

"Don't worry, I said it's a windfall, spend as you like."

Han Zheng paused, then added, "I also want to invite Su Wuming, what do you think?"

Su Wuming had fought side by side with Han Zheng on several occasions and naturally counted as his friend, but he hadn't interacted much with Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Of course, there's no problem," the three answered without hesitation.

Neither Ye Liuyun nor his sister were stingy, and Yang Tianqi, who had been discriminated against in the Demon Cleansing Bureau due to his strength and background, cared even less about such things.

Besides, the three had also undertaken missions together with Su Wuming, and his reputed bad luck didn't seem quite so mysterious to them.

After agreeing on the time, Ye Liuyun and the rest continued exchanging supplies, while Han Zheng went to find Su Wuming.

When Su Wuming saw Han Zheng coming to find him, he thought Han Zheng was off to destroy another sect and instinctively reached for his Coiling Dragon Spear.

Han Zheng couldn't help but laugh and stop him, "Brother Su, we're not going to kill anyone this time. I've arranged to have dinner tonight with Brother Ye Liuyun, Sister Ye, and Yang Tianqi, and I'd like to invite you to join us."

"You're inviting me?"

Han Zheng nodded, "Would Brother Su grant us the honor?"

Su Wuming paused briefly before nodding vigorously, "Yes."

It was the first time in all his years at the Demon Cleansing Bureau that someone showed a willingness to get close to him and invite him to dinner.
