Martial God Asura (Web Novel)
chapter-5824

Later on, a pair of highly talented brothers entered the bamboo forest.

These brothers were extremely powerful, and they benefited greatly from the bamboo forest. Their cultivation surged forth, reaching an unprecedented height within a short time. However, both of them harbored the ambition of becoming the strongest, so they eventually turned against each other and came to blows.

It was a wretched battle that not only destroyed the bamboo forest but left both of them severely injured too, with their life hanging by a thread. It was at this critical moment that the two brothers finally snapped out of their folly, but it was already too late. They were doomed to die.

In the tattered bamboo forest, the two brothers found some intact bamboo, turned them into a bamboo scroll, and carved their comprehensions onto it. The bamboo scroll was made up of a total of 367 bamboo slips. They were the brothers’ fortune to the later generation.

But shortly after the two brothers completed the bamboo slip, it was scattered into many different pieces all over the universe.

It was said that each bamboo slip contained tremendous power, and if one could obtain the complete bamboo scroll, they would gain the greatest power in the world and become the ruler of all cultivators, the god that dominated everything.

That was why it was named the God Bestowment Bamboo Slip.

“There aren’t 367 pieces of the God Bestowment Bamboo Slip?” Chu Feng asked.

“Brother Chu Feng, you must have heard the rumor about the brothers, right?” Xianhai Shaoyu asked.

“That’s right.” Chu Feng nodded.

“There are many rumors about the God Bestowment Bamboo Slips. What you heard is one version of it. However, all of the versions are fake. No one knows where the God Bestowment Bamboo Slips are from. The most reliable news we have about it is that there are only ten slips, and each of them harnesses tremendous power,” Xianhai Shaoyu said.

“Is that so? That explains why I could only comprehend two-tenth of the God Bestowment Bamboo Slips,” Chu Feng remarked.

“Two-tenth?” Little Fishy and Xinahai Shaoyu’s eyes narrowed.

“Big brother, how many God Bestowment Bamboo Slips do you have?” Little Fishy asked.

“I have two,” Chu Feng replied.

“Woah!” Little Fishy’s eyes gleamed in excitement.

“Two? Brother Chu Feng, you actually have two of them? Did your father give them to you?” Xianhai Shaoyu asked.

“No, I obtained them by coincidence,” Chu Feng.

“By coincidence? Where? Did you obtain them in a remnant?”

“I found them in different remnants, but both of them are in the Ancestral Martial Galaxy.”

“Damn!” Xianhai Shaoyu was shocked. “They say that the Ancestral Martial Galaxy has fallen into decline, but it actually has two God Bestowment Bamboo Slips there! Could there be others circulating in the Ancestral Martial Galaxy too?”

“Little Fishy, where did you obtain your God Bestowment Bamboo Slip from?” Chu Feng asked.

He thought that it was normal for Little Fishy to have a God Bestowment Bamboo Slip, considering how huge the Immortal Sea Fish Clan was. But now that he knew how rare the God Bestowment Bamboo Slips were, there could be a deeper story behind it.

“My father spent a great deal of money to acquire it, and by then, it had switched many hands. We looked into it, and it looks like the initial seller was a cat,” Little Fishy said.

“A cat? Is it a depraved old cat?” Chu Feng asked.

He remembered how Old Cat had stolen the God Bestowment Bamboo Slip from him back then and kidnapped Xie Ji. He found Old Cat later on, but the latter claimed to have already sold the God Bestowment Bamboo Slip.

From the looks of it now, that depraved Old Cat hadn’t lied to him.

“Yes, it’s a cat. My father even sent men down to look for that cat and ask him where he found it. That cat said he found it in a remnant,” Little Fishy replied.

“Found it, my ass! He stole it!” Chu Feng exclaimed.

“Big brother, you know him?” Little Fishy asked.

Chu Feng told Xianhai Shaoyu and Little Fishy about his history with Old Cat.

“That darned cat demon! How dare he steal big brother’s God Bestowment Bamboo Slip and sell it! I’ll skin him alive if I ever get my hands on him.” Little Fishy was infuriated to hear about Old Cat’s doing.

However, Xianhai Shaoyu frowned. “Wait a moment, doesn’t that mean that my little sister’s God Bestowment Bamboo Slip came from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy too?”

“That should be the case.” Chu Feng nodded.

“My gosh. Could all of the God Bestowment Bamboo Slips be from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy?” Xianhai Shaoyu exclaimed.

Little Fishy lowered her head in shame. “Big brother, I can’t take out the God Bestowment Bamboo Slip and return it to you right now.”

She felt ashamed because the God Bestowment Bamboo Slip she was currently using was stolen from Chu Feng.

“What nonsense are you spouting? The God Bestowment Bamboo Slip has no owner. It’s one thing to obtain it, but it’s another thing to be able to use it. If anything, I’m happy that you’re able to obtain one.” Chu Feng patted Little Fishy’s head.

Little Fishy revealed a radiant smile. She didn’t fuss over this, as it was a fact she couldn’t take out her God Bestowment Bamboo Slip.

“Brother Shaoyu, what do you mean by ‘fragment of the God Bestowment Bamboo Slip’? Does it mean it’s broken? Or is it impossible to verify whether it’s real or not?” Chu Feng asked.

“We call it ‘fragment’ because we’re unable to verify its authenticity. Not even the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion can do so. Ultimately, it’s down to luck. So far, there has only been one fragment that’s verified to be a real God Bestowment Bamboo Slip. Even so, most powers would still compete over the fragments in auctions, driving up the bids to astronomical prices. It can’t be helped since the God Bestowment Bamboo Slips are still too valuable. They wanted to give it a try even if the chances were slim.

“The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion will likely send someone down to compete in the auction too, so Brother Chu Feng, it’ll be best for us to disguise ourselves. We won’t enter our Immortal Sea Fish Clan’s exclusive compartment room either lest we draw attention. You don’t have to worry about it though. You’re safe in our territory,” Xianhai Shaoyu said.

Chu Feng understood Xianhai Shaoyu’s words. They would ensure Chu Feng’s safety in the Immortal Sea Galaxy, but they couldn’t show that the Immortal Sea Fish Clan was siding with him. This wasn’t a matter they could decide on.

Otherwise, the Immortal Sea Fish Clan would be in trouble if the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion chose to pursue the matter. Thus, it was best for them to maintain a low profile.

Soon, Chu Feng and the others arrived at their destination. It was a huge city with many auction houses selling all sorts of things. The lower-tier auctions had already begun, but the true treasures were to be listed in an auction today. To avoid attracting their attention, they wore the gray cloaks they had received from Master Nine Zenith.

The auction hall they headed to was different from the others. There was no main hall; just many different compartment rooms. A huge deposit had to be paid to enter the premises. In other words, those who didn’t have the means couldn’t even participate in the auction.

The Immortal Sea Fish Clan had their exclusive compartment, and they could access it by flashing their token. However, Xianhai Shaoyu and Little Fishy didn’t reveal their identity but instead requested an ordinary compartment room.
