I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#398 - Immortal Spirit

"This is a True Spirit? This old geezer wants to seize my body?" Zhang Chen looked at the True Spirit rushing towards him, a hint of horror in his eyes. He was about to activate the Golden Jiao Scissors, but the opponent was too fast. Before Zhang Chen could even process the thought, the Immortal's True Spirit had already entered Zhang Chen's body.

At this moment, the voice of the Great自在Heavenly Demon resounded in Zhang Chen's mind: "Be careful, he wants to seize your body..."

Unfortunately, the Great自在Heavenly Demon's reminder came too late. Along with the warning, Zhang Chen felt his feet instantly lose control. Then, starting from his feet, the control rapidly spread up his ankles, the opponent swiftly seizing control of his body.

"Where did this old fellow come from, daring to seize my body? Truly deserving of death!" Zhang Chen's heart flared with anger. He gathered his magical power to resist and refute, but the opponent's power was like a raging sea, while Zhang Chen's power was merely a trickling stream. There was no comparison between the two. Zhang Chen's resistance was like a candle in the wind, instantly extinguished, and he was robbed of control of his body.

At this moment, Zhang Chen couldn't even mobilize skills like the Golden Jiao Scissors. It seemed that everything was set, and Zhang Chen was destined to be seized. But what kind of person was Zhang Chen? He was not one to sit idly by and be captured.

He still had the capital to resist, and that was his Soul Hooking skill.

The opponent had rushed out of the golden bowl and hastily attempted to seize his body. The True Spirit had been separated from its body for more than seven days, exceeding the time for its soul to return. As long as the opponent was judged to be someone whose life was about to end due to losing their body, he would definitely be able to subdue the opponent's True Spirit.

Then, the golden finger interface in front of Zhang Chen's eyes flickered:

[Target found, can be marked]

[Do you want to mark?]

Looking at the line of words on the golden finger interface, Zhang Chen was overjoyed and full of confidence. The anxiety of having his body's authority seized disappeared without a trace.

No matter how many means you have or how powerful your magic is, facing my law of causality, I only want to ask you one question: Can you resist?

"But I'm not in a hurry to act. I want to ask clearly about this old fellow's origin and see where this old fellow popped out from," Zhang Chen thought to himself.

"Who are you? Why are you seizing my body?" Zhang Chen's soul fluctuated, and his thoughts were transmitted along with the soul's fluctuations, sending an inquiry to the True Spirit.

Unfortunately, facing Zhang Chen's inquiry, the group of colored light showed no reaction and continued to seize control of his body on its own.

"Good fellow, if I don't show my power, you won't know how many eyes Lord Ma has. Do you really think I'm made of clay? You old fellows are too欺人太甚, just relying on the fact that you've lived longer. How dare you bully me like this? If I lived for thousands of years, I would definitely beat you until you don't know which way is east or west," Zhang Chen's voice was full of anger.

He felt like he was being treated like a pushover!

Since coming to this world, there were strong people everywhere. Those above the tenth rank were everywhere, and their cultivation was more outrageous than the last. He lived too憋屈.

"Even if you are a peak powerhouse of immortality, so what? But now you are just a lonely ghost who has lost your body. Can I still be bullied by you!" Zhang Chen cursed, feeling the power of the colored light flowing, and the moment his torso lost sensation, he couldn't help but curse.

"Even if you are a being beyond the twelfth rank, so what? How can I be seized by you?" Zhang Chen sneered in his heart, feeling his body being constantly controlled by the other party. He no longer hesitated and directly activated his Soul Hooking skill.

[Target found, do you want to mark?]

"Mark!" Zhang Chen directly marked without saying a word.

The next moment, a mark appeared inexplicably in the group of colored light and merged with the colored light. The colored light sensed something was wrong and only felt that something inexplicable had been added to its True Spirit. Unfortunately, before it could react, the mark had already merged with its entire True Spirit.

Before the colored light could react, chains stretched out from the darkness and bound its True Spirit. The colored light used the power of laws to struggle, but it couldn't struggle at all. The chains tightened and directly dragged it out of Zhang Chen's body.

Seeing that it failed to seize Zhang Chen's body, the colored light directly rushed towards the opposite Sea Chan Monk, instantly breaking through the Sea Chan Monk's protective divine light and entering the Sea Chan Monk's body.

As soon as the colored light made a move, the Innate Peacock immediately sensed the crisis. At this moment, colorful lights flashed, suppressing the colored light: "Bastard, get out of my body! How are you old bastards still not dead?"

Then, within the Sea Chan Monk's body, five-colored light and immortal green light intertwined, fighting for control of the body. Seeing this, Zhang Chen activated the Soul Hooking skill. He only heard the clanging of chains in the darkness, and the colored light was directly dragged out by Zhang Chen.

The colored light kept 충돌 좌우, seemingly wanting to break free from the shackles of the chains, but it was unable to struggle because it was牵扯 by Zhang Chen's chains.

"This seems to be a团 True Spirit?" Zhang Chen looked at the colored light he was牵扯, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"That's right, it's a True Spirit! Moreover, this团 True Spirit is full of chaotic aura. Obviously, it has suffered heavy injuries and has not yet recovered. Now it wants to seize rebirth, but it's just an instinct," the Great自在Heavenly Demon钻出来 from Zhang Chen's body. His eyes looked at the True Spirit, revealing a strange look. Obviously, he recognized the origin of the colored light in front of him.

"Regardless of its origin, just use the Nine 曲 Yellow River Great Formation to磨灭 it," Zhang Chen said.

"It can't be磨灭! This is a '果' like the Sea Chan Monk, but this fruit is a bit strange. It has already begun to revive the True Spirit, but it has not fully复苏. His True Spirit is藏 in the果. If you can't摧毁 this果, you can't斬殺 the opponent's True Spirit," said the Great自在Heavenly Demon.

"It's really麻烦!" Zhang Chen looked at the colored light in front of him: "What is the form of his果?"

The Great自在Heavenly Demon said: "It is a团 of spatial origin."

Zhang Chen heard this and opened the Devouring Eye to observe the True Spirit that he had束缚. Sure enough, he saw that there were wonderful crystal nuclei that were difficult to detect with the naked eye flowing in the True Spirit. It's just that the crystal nuclei seemed to be融入 into the异次元虚空, making it difficult to see with the naked eye and impossible to touch with the body.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen was secretly surprised: "Those crystal nuclei seem to be not in the現世 space?"

"That's right, there is the power of space on those crystal nuclei, located in the seam between the 現世 and异次元," said the Great自在Heavenly Demon.

"Since the Nine 曲 Yellow River Great Formation cannot磨灭 it, let's temporarily收起来 it. When I find a suitable time, I will炮制 it," Zhang Chen opened the mouth of the Ba Snake and directly sent the团 of colored light into the Ba Snake space.

Then Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the Innate Peacock, and saw that the Sea Chan Monk was surrounded by五彩 light, with道道 Innate five elements of aura flowing.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Chen retrieved the five feathers from the flesh of Monk Haichan, returning them to Zhang Chen's skill panel. Zhang Chen collected the Five-Colored Divine Light of the Innate Peacock.

"You're being awfully stingy," Monk Haichan opened his eyes, his voice full of complaint and dissatisfaction.

"Being able to lend you the Innate Five Elements is already a great favor. I advise you not to be ungrateful," Zhang Chen said unpleasantly.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Innate Peacock's face twitched with anger. Those five feathers were his origin, his possessions. How dare this old boy even say that?

However, he had just seized this body and knew Zhang Chen's power. Not wanting to fall out with Zhang Chen, he said, "Kid, want to pull off a big score?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen drawled, sensing that this Innate Peacock wanted to stir up trouble.

"How about we trick all those old fogeys to death and seize the Wuzhuang Temple?" The Innate Peacock's eyes gleamed brightly.

Zhang Chen sized up the Innate Peacock. "How much of your strength have you recovered? You dare to say you'll trick all those old fogeys to death?"

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Innate Peacock smiled smugly. "Although my strength hasn't recovered much, don't forget whose body I'm currently inhabiting. As long as I go out and deceive them a bit, there's still a good chance of tricking all those guys in. When the time comes, you can use the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation to kill all those guys, rescue that little girl, and I can devour those guys' origins to restore my strength. It's a win-win strategy for both of us."

Of course, the most crucial thing was that by devouring those guys, he could quickly restore his strength and suppress that Immortal ahead of time.

"By the way, what about the Immortal's true spirit? Could it have escaped from your Nine Bends Yellow River Formation?" the Innate Peacock asked.

"Immortal's true spirit?" Zhang Chen was taken aback, then he remembered that ball of colored light. He was surprised: that was actually the Immortal's true spirit?

"It's already been suppressed by me," Zhang Chen said.

"Good move!" The Peacock gasped, but then, thinking of Zhang Chen's methods, suppressing that true spirit didn't seem too difficult.

"I have something I'd like to ask Old Ancestor," Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Peacock, remembering the mysteries surrounding Immortality, and lowered his stance to ask for guidance.

The Innate Peacock sized up Zhang Chen, a strange look in his eyes. "This posture of yours is rarely seen. What do you want to ask?"

"What is the origin of Immortals?" Zhang Chen asked. After all, the Innate Peacock fought against Immortals in the past and should know something about their origins.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Innate Peacock sized him up. "If you were to ask someone else, they definitely wouldn't know the key to this, but since you're asking me, I happen to know the origin of Immortals. That Immortal was dug out from a ruined tomb in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Originally, that Immortal was already dead, but who knew that some meddlesome fellow actually researched the way of raising corpses and actually revived the Immortal."

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank. "What's the situation? Immortals were actually dug out of tombs? And the Immortal was already dead?"

A huge wave surged in Zhang Chen's heart. This situation completely exceeded his imagination. He thought that Immortals should be alive, high above, grasping an era, but you're telling him that Immortals were actually dug out of coffins. This simply shattered his worldview!

What's the situation? How could Immortals be dug out?

"What is the Immortal's origin? What about the Qi Refining incantations?" Zhang Chen asked again.

"Who knows where Immortals come from? Those Qi Refining incantations are all burial goods from the Immortal's tomb," the Innate Peacock said. "No one knows how Immortals cultivated. According to my estimation, Immortals should be innate beings transformed from some kind of Heavenly Law. Because of an accident, they died in the womb, and then, after being tormented by that strange person, they actually mutated and came back to life."

"As for that Qi Refining technique, it should be the imprint of the remaining rhyme of the Heavenly Law. Unfortunately, that innate divine spirit died in the womb, and the corresponding Law also failed to conceive, so the Qi Refining technique also died in the womb. That Qi Refining technique seizes the creation of heaven and earth, the origin of all gods, and plunders the authority of all gods. It is not tolerated by the myriad ways of heaven and earth, so it is understandable that it died in the womb," the Innate Peacock said.

Hearing the Innate Peacock's words, Zhang Chen remained noncommittal, maintaining a reserved attitude. He always felt that the Immortal's origin was not that simple. Not to mention anything else, just the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth couldn't be simple!

"Speaking of which, you're walking the path of Qi Refining, right?" The Innate Peacock sized up Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was not surprised that the Innate Peacock could see through his details, after all, the gap in cultivation between the two sides was too great.

"It's the path of Qi Refining," Zhang Chen said.

"You can actually cultivate successfully, it's really incredible. I also used to comprehend the path of Qi Refining, and even didn't hesitate to disperse my origin, but unfortunately, not only did I fail, but I was also taken advantage of by those few evil creatures and sneak attacked," the Innate Peacock's voice was full of resentment, without concealing the killing intent in his heart.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen glanced at the Innate Peacock in surprise. This guy was indeed a connoisseur.

"Speaking of which, how did you cultivate the pure Qi Refining technique? Those Changsheng and others all rely on external objects to make up for their shortcomings before they can achieve some success. How can you have such good fortune? Could it be that the Qi Refining technique still has a key that I have not comprehended?" The Innate Peacock curiously leaned over and asked.

"If you are willing to be my mount, I can teach you the skills of Qi Refining, it's not a problem!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Innate Peacock's old face immediately turned dark, his eyes full of disgust: "You are the mount! Your whole family are mounts!"

His voice was full of impatience, wishing he could slap Zhang Chen to death: "The last one who wanted to make me a mount has already been dismembered by me."

He was referring to the Immortal!

Then the Innate Peacock said:

"The Immortal path is a wrong path. Only the Innate Bloodline Great Dao is the real path to eternal life that will never be destroyed. I advise you to abandon the Immortal method, temper your bloodline, and cultivate the power of the bloodline."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen remained noncommittal about the Peacock's words. The Immortal path was not as simple as the Peacock said. Whether it was the Upper Purity Talisman Scripture, or the secrets he knew about Wuzhuang Temple, the Ascension Pool, etc., they were definitely not that simple, and contained shocking secrets.

Regarding the Innate Peacock's words, Zhang Chen remained noncommittal. In Zhang Chen's understanding, the Immortal path and the bloodline should be like the prehistoric world, the path of Qi Refiners and Innate Divine Spirits.
