Chapter 390 – Divine Transformation Ancestor of the Wu Family

So Wu Tian's failure was entirely predictable!

"Senior Brother Meng, what did you try to take just now?" Wu Tian couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Meng Fan, who had also failed.

Meng Fan glanced at Wu Tian and said casually, "I tried to take a spirit fruit. What about you?"

Wu Tian was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Meng Fan to only go for a spirit fruit, and even more surprising was that he failed to get it.

"I saw a Dao sword inside and couldn't resist trying to take it, but unfortunately, I failed."

Hearing Wu Tian's regretful tone, Meng Fan shook his head helplessly.

Regret? Not at all. It was inevitable.

Next, Wu Yue and Wu Gui's divine senses also entered the space within the cauldron.

Both of them managed to take out a treasure each.

Wu Yue took a spirit jade, and Wu Gui took a manual. As for what exactly they were, Meng Fan didn't feel it was appropriate to ask.

Nor did he feel it was appropriate to snatch them!

He had roughly figured out the pattern: anything these two could take out wasn't likely to be anything valuable.

After all, the better the item, the harder it was to take out.

Wu Tian shamelessly approached and asked Wu Yue and Wu Gui what treasures they had taken out.

A moment later, he pursed his lips, losing interest.

Indeed, they weren't anything valuable!

In the grand hall, aside from this cauldron, there was nothing else.

After the five of them exited the cauldron's space, they all tried to enter again, but without exception, they all failed.

Meng Fan tried to store the cauldron in his storage ring, and... failed.

In fact, he hadn't expected to succeed before trying. If the cauldron could really be taken away, it would have been taken by the Wu family's elders long ago. How could it be his turn?

However, if he could take it, he would have struck it rich...

"Before we came in, Wu Qianji said we couldn't leave the palace. Did he mean this grand hall or the larger area outside?" Meng Fan asked Wu Yue and Wu Gui.

As for Wu Tian, he couldn't be bothered to ask. This fool wouldn't know, and even if he did, Meng Fan wouldn't trust him.

Wu Yue replied, "The ancestor said 'palace,' not this grand hall, but the entire palace complex outside."

"Palace complex?" Meng Fan caught a key term and asked.

Facing Meng Fan's confusion, Wu Yue continued to explain, "I don't know the specifics of the Wu family's ancestral land, and many elders don't either.

We only know that this place seems to be a palace, or maybe an imperial palace!

That's what the elders told me. So we can leave this grand hall, but we must not leave the palace grounds.

According to records, anyone who steps out of the palace gates will instantly turn to ashes."

Hearing Wu Yue's words, Meng Fan began to understand.

This so-called Wu family's ancestral land probably wasn't the true ancestral land.

Most likely, some senior of the Wu family discovered this place and set up a teleportation array to send the Wu family's descendants here to seek opportunities.

It's more like a treasure trove!

Meng Fan continued to ask, "Are there any dangerous places within this palace complex?"

This was the key point!

He wasn't curious about dangerous places; he just wanted to avoid them. He didn't like taking risks.

"There are no records of dangerous places, but there are records of several Wu family ancestors disappearing within this palace complex, so there might still be dangers!" Wu Yue said seriously.

Hearing this, Meng Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Disappearing here is no different from dying.

So it's clear that this so-called Wu family's ancestral land still has dangers.

And they are unknown dangers!

"When did your Wu family discover this palace complex?" Meng Fan asked.

Wu Yue shook her head; she didn't know.

After browsing the cauldron's space, she had a vague understanding that this couldn't be the Wu family's ancestral land.

The Wu family didn't have such a foundation; this was definitely a relic discovered by some Wu family senior.

Wu Yue didn't know, and Wu Gui, who had been silent, also didn't know.

Suddenly, Wu Tian cleared his throat. Seeing everyone's eyes on him, he spoke with a mysterious tone, "If we count the figures in our Wu family's history, only one ancestor could have such capabilities."

Hearing Wu Tian's words, Wu Yue and Wu Gui's eyes lit up simultaneously.

Especially the previously silent and socially anxious Wu Gui, who suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "It must be Ancestor Wu Thirteen!"

Wu Thirteen?

Meng Fan could hear the immense admiration in Wu Gui's tone.

This guy seemed to be a little fanboy of Wu Thirteen!

So the question arose.

"Who is Wu Thirteen?" Meng Fan asked.

Obviously, Wu Thirteen was a senior figure in the Wu family, but Meng Fan had never heard of him.

Wu Gui, truly socially anxious, didn't say anything more after his initial outburst.

Mainly because Wu Tian, seeing Wu Gui steal his thunder, glared at him.

Wu Gui immediately didn't dare to speak further.

After suppressing Wu Gui, Wu Tian took the initiative to explain, "Wu Thirteen wasn't the first ancestor of the Wu family, but he was the most talented and accomplished ancestor in the past few centuries.

According to the Wu family's records, over four hundred years ago, Ancestor Wu Thirteen's cultivation level had even reached the Divine Transformation Realm."

Wu Tian glanced at Meng Fan and continued, "For the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, the Divine Transformation Realm might not be much, but for the Wu family, there had never been a Divine Transformation cultivator before Wu Thirteen.

And even after him, there hasn't been another Divine Transformation cultivator in the Wu family!

By the way, Senior Brother Meng, do you know why this ancestor had such a strange name, Wu Thirteen?"

Is Wu Thirteen such a strange name?

Meng Fan didn't think it was strange at all. It was certainly more normal than Wu Gui!

He ignored Wu Tian, but Lin Feiyan couldn't resist her curiosity and quickly asked, "Why?"

Wu Tian cleared his throat again, raising his voice a notch:

"Because this ancestor wasn't originally from the Wu family; he was an orphan adopted by the Wu family.

He had no name, no parents, no siblings, no children, no wife, no friends, so he called himself 'Wu Thirteen.'

Taking the Wu family name, he became Wu Thirteen!"

Talking about Wu Thirteen, even Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

After all, the Divine Transformation Realm was like a god to him now.

Meng Fan smiled, thinking that this Wu Thirteen had quite a flair. Although it sounded impressive at first, it was a bit... adolescent delusion!
