#412 - Reversal of Dan
Zhang Chen felt very touched upon hearing Xu Erniu's instructions, thinking that this little girl was truly too considerate, and he hadn't wasted his efforts on her.
Of course, Zhang Chen knew the great risk Xu Erniu took in imparting the incantation to him.
Incantations between disciples were not to be shared, and if the Patriarch found out, the consequences would be the retrieval of the incantation, followed by being crushed to ashes and having one's soul scattered.
Xu Erniu did not hesitate at this moment and directly began to recite the incantation of the Grass Return Pill to Zhang Chen, who fell into deep thought after hearing it.
He could now be considered well-informed, especially with Xiu Liu's attainment of Dao and the changes in the Blood Sea, Zhang Chen possessed his own divine abilities in the dark.
After hearing the incantation of the Grass Return Pill only once, Zhang Chen had already discerned many secrets.
"The incantation of this Grass Return Pill takes a different approach, it is not the Immortal Dao, but the Great Dao of Spirits.
Even if one achieves great success in cultivation, one would only become a powerful plant sovereign, which cannot be considered the Great Dao," Zhang Chen thought to himself.
He didn't know why, but since Xiu Liu returned, Zhang Chen felt that his spirituality had become countless times stronger, and his thinking speed was extremely fast: "If one could achieve great success in the Dao of Spirits and completely transform into the Grass Return Pill, and then use the Inversion of Yin and Yang to change the laws, transforming the Grass Return Pill into a seed, wouldn't it be possible to directly transform into a Ginseng Fruit Tree?
Transforming from a fruit into a fruit tree, wouldn't that be directly becoming an innate deity?"
According to the records in novels from his previous life, Zhunti was the incarnation of Bodhi, and Zhen Yuanzi was the incarnation of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
If Xu Erniu could reverse herself into a Ginseng Fruit Tree, she would directly ascend to the heavens in one step, becoming an innate sacred being, the sovereign among plants.
Zhang Chen was extremely shocked by his conjecture, and various inspirations flashed in his mind: "In this case, cultivating this Grass Return Pill is not a dead end.
If one can cultivate until the fruit is ripe, and then use the Inversion of Yin and Yang to reverse the cause and effect, causing the seed to sprout and transform into a fruit tree, it is a path to the heavens.
At least Xu Erniu's future achievements will definitely not be worse than the Earth Immortal Ancestor in Journey to the West."
Zhang Chen was shocked by his conjecture, while Xu Erniu blinked her eyes and looked at Zhang Chen: "Zhang Chen, you still need to practice the Grass Return Pill secretly in the future, and you must not be discovered, otherwise, we will all be in big trouble."
"I didn't say I wanted to cultivate the Grass Return Pill," Zhang Chen said.
Xu Erniu was stunned and looked at Zhang Chen in confusion, as if looking at a mental patient: "If you don't cultivate the Grass Return Pill, why are you asking about the incantation?"
Zhang Chen did not respond to Xu Erniu's words, but instead asked: "Little sister, do you believe me?"
"Of course, I believe you," Xu Erniu said.
"Then I will ask you again, do you believe the Patriarch, or do you believe me more?" Zhang Chen repeated.
"Of course, I believe you more, what kind of relationship do we have?" Xu Erniu patted her chest and said: "How could I not believe you?"
"If you believe me, you must focus on cultivating the Great Divine Power of Inverting Yin and Yang in the future.
Before this divine power is successfully cultivated, you must never allow the Grass Return Pill incantation to reach great success.
When you have cultivated the Grass Return Pill, immediately use the Great Divine Power of Inverting Yin and Yang to transform the Grass Return Pill into a fruit tree, reversing the cause and effect within it," Zhang Chen carefully instructed Xu Erniu.
The Grass Return Pill is also known as the Ginseng Fruit.
Since it is a fruit, that represents a seed, and since it is a seed, it can of course take root, sprout, and transform into a fruit tree.
This was Zhang Chen's inexplicable feeling after Xiu Liu returned and the power of the Blood Dao manifested.
He felt that his calculation ability had increased a thousandfold, and his mind was more useful than ever before.
Xu Erniu stared blankly at Zhang Chen, her eyes filled with strangeness: "Should this matter be told to the Patriarch, what if something goes wrong during cultivation…"
Seeing Xu Erniu doubting his reliability, Zhang Chen said angrily: "You little girl actually doubts my ability, don't forget my methods down the mountain.
You just need to cultivate according to my instructions, and you will definitely benefit in the future.
Also, this matter must not be told to the Patriarch, not even a hint can be revealed."
Xu Erniu nodded obediently: "Alright then, I'll listen to you."
She knew Zhang Chen's abilities, and the two of them had walked out of a mud-like life together, they had a life-or-death friendship, so of course she believed Zhang Chen.
Xu Erniu was not a fool, looking at the strange Zhang Chen, Xu Erniu whispered: "Zhang Chen, do you know something bad is going to happen?"
"No! Just cultivate well.
I just discovered the wonderful use of the Grass Return Pill, and with the help of the Great Divine Power of Inverting Yin and Yang, there will be incredible changes," Zhang Chen replied to Xu Erniu with a smile.
Then the two talked for a while before Zhang Chen turned and left.
Looking at Zhang Chen's departing back, the increasingly beautiful and graceful young girl's eyes revealed a hint of suspicion: "Why do I always feel like something is not quite right?
But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong."
A strange cloud enveloped her, pressing on Xu Erniu's heart, causing a faint ominous premonition to emerge in her heart.
Time was passing quickly, and everyone was racing against the clock to seize time.
The disciples of the Wuzhuang Temple were practicing the great formation, the Longevity Patriarch was sharpening his sword, and Zhang Chen went back and forth to the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation every day, staring at the Nirvana of the Innate Peacock.
As for that wisp of Immortal True Spirit, Zhang Chen had studied it for some time, but still hadn't figured out anything.
As for Xiu Liu, he was still busy collecting secret manuals for Zhang Chen every day, but the Qi refining secret method of the Taiping Dao that he wanted had not been found.
On this day, Xiu Liu brought various secret manuals again.
Zhang Chen only glanced at them and found that they were all left-handed techniques, so he said impatiently: "Why haven't you found the latter part of the Taiping Dao Qi refining technique?"
Xiu Liu smiled bitterly upon hearing this, feeling extremely wronged: "My little ancestor, you really wronged me, those Taiping Dao disciples simply cannot cultivate the Qi refining secret method.
Being able to pass down the Qi refining part of the incantation is already considered good.
If you want to obtain a higher level of Qi refining technique, you can only target the three demon saints of the Taiping Dao…"
Xiu Liu's voice was full of grievances, and his eyes were filled with bitterness.
What could he do?
He was also very helpless!
Not to mention that the remaining two demon saints were inseparable, they had also disappeared recently.
The demons below said that they seemed to be searching for some treasure, even if he wanted to rob them, he couldn't find the target.
"What about inside the Taiping Dao's lair? Is there any harvest?" Zhang Chen repeatedly asked.
Hearing this, Xiu Liu shook his head: "The Taiping Dao's mountain gate is guarded by a talisman formation.
If I want to sneak in, I will inevitably alarm the formation.
Even if I possess those demon beasts, I can't hide it from the talisman formation's sensing."
Hearing Xiu Liu's words, Zhang Chen scratched his head, a look of distress on his face: "Could it be that I can only wait for those two demon saints to kick the bucket before I have a chance to obtain the fundamental Qi refining technique of the Taiping Dao?"
Zhang Chen fell into deep thought, and for a moment, he didn't have a good solution.
Xiu Liu tentatively asked upon hearing this: "I wonder what mysteries this Qi refining technique has that you value it so much?"
Zhang Chen glanced at Xiu Liu: "This is not something you can inquire about, you just need to collect the techniques for me."
The stronger Xiu Liu's strength, the more impolite Zhang Chen had to be.
He had to constantly beat Xiu Liu to prevent this kid from developing thoughts he shouldn't have and causing trouble for himself.
Zhang Chen waved his hand, signaling Xiu Liu to retreat, leaving Zhang Chen alone standing in the courtyard, silently looking at the sun in the sky.
Time passed quickly, the ninth year quickly passed, and the tenth year arrived as scheduled.
Zhang Chen was still cultivating in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation every day, and the Longevity Ancestor was sitting directly outside the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, staring intently at the formation, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ten years had passed, and the Innate Peacock was still in Nirvana within the formation, with no sign of breaking out of its shell.
Zhang Chen occasionally came to the fetal egg formed by the Innate Peacock, looking at the symbols flowing on the fetal egg, with intermittent fragments of the Five Elements essence flashing by, giving Zhang Chen some insights.
"The Innate Peacock was born in response to the Five Elements, and the Great Dao of the Five Elements flows within its body.
It is born to be in charge of the authority of the Five Elements, it is truly enviable.
Innate races are truly blessed by nature, how biased is God!" Zhang Chen sighed softly, a look of emotion in his eyes.
In the eleventh year, the colorful light of the fetal egg solidified, forming a colorful eggshell, like an oil painting, without any fluctuations of divine light.
In the twelfth year, a crack appeared on the colorful fetal egg.
In the thirteenth year…
Zhang Chen was comprehending the wonderful method in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation when suddenly, there was a shocking sound of drums, accompanied by terrifying demonic energy.
The two great demon saints of the demon race returned with a vengeance.
Countless demon armies swept in overwhelmingly, from the sky to the ground, mighty and vast, covering the sky and the sun, sweeping towards the Qingcheng Mountains, wanting to flatten the Wuzhuang Temple.
The Wuzhuang Temple disciples did not show any weakness.
The four great disciples led their subordinates and formed a great formation to actively meet the enemy.
At this time, black clouds flickered in the sky, and two figures walked out of the black clouds.
One had the head of an ox, and the other had the head of a rhinoceros.
The two were tall, ten meters high, standing in the black clouds, overlooking the Wuzhuang Temple.
"Longevity, do you dare to come out and fight?" The Great Sage with the ox head roared to the sky, his voice shaking the sky: "Return my brother's life!
Today, I will make you pay for my brother's life."
"Mere evil creatures, how dare you spout nonsense in front of me?
I let you two escape before, consider yourselves lucky.
Since you have come together this time, then let's all stay," the Longevity Ancestor's voice was full of composure, his hands in his sleeves, looking up at the two demon saints in the sky, his eyes without fear.
He knew that as long as he could kill one of the two great saints, it would be considered stable, and the remaining one would definitely not be his opponent.
Inside the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, Zhang Chen stood in front of the Innate Peacock egg, his eyes looking at the colorful egg in front of him, a look of anxiety in his eyes: "I say, Old Ancestor, are you reliable or not?
They are about to fight to the death above, if the Longevity Ancestor wins, the luck of the world will return to one, and he will be able to overcome the calamity and improve his cultivation, I'm afraid we will be in big trouble."
