#306 - The method of moving mountains
On the table was a pure silver slingshot, along with seven golden pellets. The pellets were carved with mysterious patterns, making them appear quite extraordinary.
Zhang Chen saw extremely complex chains of order within the slingshot and pellets. Although not comparable to the steel fork, they were still remarkable.
Zhang Chen reached out to pick up a pellet, but unexpectedly, it weighed over a thousand pounds, and he couldn't even lift it.
"Good heavens, a single pellet weighs a thousand pounds. Is there anything here I can even pick up?" Zhang Chen gave up on the pellets and tried to lift the slingshot, but unfortunately, it wouldn't budge either.
Unable to lift the pellets or the slingshot, Zhang Chen surveyed the entire thatched hut. Besides the worthless pots and pans, there was nothing else worth taking.
Zhang Chen then turned his gaze to the large black dog. A surge of anger rose within him, and his eyes scanned the dog's body. This time, he finally noticed something. Deep within the fur on the dog's neck, there was a jade pendant emitting a mysterious aura.
The jade pendant was small, only about the size of a thumb, and hidden in the dog's fur, which was why Zhang Chen hadn't noticed it before.
Zhang Chen leaned closer and stared at it carefully for a moment, tentatively reaching out to try and pull the jade pendant off. However, the cord穿梭玉牌 threading through the pendant shimmered with a golden light. Zhang Chen tugged at it, but it wouldn't budge. The cord was like woven steel wire, and he couldn't pull it at all.
"A good item. Anything carried by this big black dog must be extraordinary." Zhang Chen carefully held the cord, stroking it down from the dog's head. Then, his eyes swept across the entire thatched hut. Although there were interesting items everywhere, he couldn't take any of them.
Having obtained the jade pendant, Zhang Chen didn't have time to examine it. He initially wanted to hang it around his neck to avoid losing it, but after glancing at the big black dog, Zhang Chen felt uneasy. What was the level of that damned black dog? Hanging the jade pendant around his neck would put him on the same level as that beast, making him a dog too?
Zhang Chen stuffed the dog tag into his chest, then glanced reluctantly at the steel fork and slingshot. Zhang Chen unzipped his pants, walked in front of the big black dog, and started urinating on the dog's head.
He, Zhang Chen, always repaid his debts. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Suffering humiliation was absolutely impossible. Then, a rush of water poured down, drenching the entire head of the big black dog. Only when he saw the dog's head completely soaked did he feel satisfied and say, "Little evil dog, when has I, your ancestor Zhang Chen, ever suffered such a loss? Today, I've made you suffer retribution."
After finishing urinating, he pondered for a moment and looked at the big black dog's butt. The next moment, the proboscis of the Innate Mosquito was taken out, directly extracting a bit of the big black dog's blood. This beast's blood was sufficient for cultivating the Blood Transformation Divine Blade.
He then went to the courtyard, looked at the golden wind flowers, hesitated slightly, picked one, and then ran away like mad.
He didn't dare to destroy the medicine field too much, in case the dog's owner came back and he couldn't handle the consequences.
One must know that even a dog was so terrifying, let alone its owner?
Zhang Chen rushed out of the small courtyard and ran continuously in the desolate mountains and wilderness. After running for hundreds of miles, Zhang Chen's energy and spirit were exhausted, and he knew it was time to return to the real world.
Zhang Chen looked at the dog tag and golden wind flower in front of him, feeling somewhat hesitant. Once he left, if the dog's nose tracked him down, he feared he wouldn't be able to keep either of these treasures. Therefore, he had to bring both treasures back to the material world.
"What is this dog tag?" Zhang Chen carefully examined the dog tag, and saw that the entire tag was made of mutton-fat jade, shimmering with a lustrous light, making it appear very extraordinary.
Zhang Chen summoned the little fox spirit, wanting to move the items out of the spiritual world. He still needed to rely on the little fox spirit's moving technique.
"I will return shortly. Please move these two items out for me," Zhang Chen instructed.
Upon hearing this, the fox spirit Nannan looked at the two items in her hand, nodded, and didn't think much of it. "No problem, just leave it to me."
Seeing the fox spirit Nannan agree, Zhang Chen's figure flashed, and his consciousness crossed the endless void, returning to his physical body.
"Finally back." Inside the underground stone cave, Zhang Chen gently breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, because he was constantly consuming the power of his energy and spirit, going in and out to absorb the power of incense was too troublesome, so he simply hid in the stone cave again, carefully lying dormant.
At this time, with his consciousness returning, Zhang Chen took a breath and began to summon the fox spirit Nannan to move the items back from the spiritual world. However, the next moment, Zhang Chen's expression changed drastically. As he summoned the fox spirit Nannan, the mana in his body evaporated in an instant, drained by the Dragon Qi skill. Then, the Dragon Qi actually self-sacrificed, contributing its source power to activate the skill. After ten breaths, Zhang Chen's Dragon Qi skill actually dropped a level.
"What's going on? Why did the fox spirit Nannan consume so much mana this time when moving items back from the Dingjing world?" Zhang Chen was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. But since the skill had already been activated, it couldn't be stopped.
In the end, there was only one result: either the fox spirit Nannan, when crossing the boundary, drew upon the Dragon Qi source of the second skill, and the second skill tried its best to provide the Dragon Qi source, and fortunately the Dragon Qi source was sufficient, allowing the fox spirit Nannan to come out. Or, the fox spirit Nannan would drain the entire Dragon Qi of the second skill, causing it to fall from the third level to the second level, and even collapse, thus Zhang Chen losing a divine ability.
This was an intuition from Zhang Chen's heart.
"There is a mysterious substance crossing the boundary, coming from the spiritual world to the material world. This process requires a huge amount of energy. And where does the energy come from? First, my mana. After my mana is drained, it begins to extract my skill's divine power, skill's source power. If it still can't come out, then the skill will completely dissipate into the world along with the disappearance of the law source," Zhang Chen speculated in his heart. Seeing the second skill Dragon Qi drop from the third level to the second level, and even collapsing towards the first level at an extremely fast speed, Zhang Chen thought about ways to break the situation.
The second skill Dragon Qi was very important to Zhang Chen, and the Beast Control skill must not be lost. Although its usefulness could not be seen in single combat, if he fought against the army of the Prince of Peaceful Border in the future, this Beast Control skill would definitely be a divine skill for him.
"The spiritual world and the material world are two different worlds. To manifest an item from one world into another requires a huge amount of energy. And before, when I moved the jade dew flower, it only consumed a little mana. This time, such a flaw has appeared. It seems that the problem lies in that jade pendant. That jade pendant is definitely not simple. No wonder the big dog carries it with him," Zhang Chen constantly deduced various clues in his heart.
"If I want to keep the second skill now and move the items out of the spiritual world, I need a lot of energy." Zhang Chen looked at the tens of millions of points he had painstakingly collected on the Gold Finger panel these days.
Isn't it just energy?
The next moment, Zhang Chen directly clicked on the second skill to upgrade the Dragon Qi. However, as soon as the Dragon Qi was upgraded, it was drained by the fox spirit. Fortunately, Zhang Chen clicked fast enough, maintaining the fox spirit's consumption while watching the points decrease.
However, this time, transporting items across realms consumed too many points. After thirty breaths, tens of millions of points were completely used up, and Fox Immortal Nannan still hadn't appeared.
Zhang Chen was now getting anxious. With tens of millions of points consumed, where would he find more energy?
Zhang Chen paced anxiously in the stone cave, watching the points continuously decrease. The third-tier second skill that he had just upgraded was about to fall again. Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the brilliant power of faith on the wall.
Then, without thinking, Zhang Chen immediately summoned the congenital mosquito proboscis and inserted it into the wall. He watched as the power of faith was continuously devoured, transforming into mysterious energy to fill the gap in Fox Immortal Nannan's consumed mana.
However, Zhang Chen's speed of devouring incense power was still too slow, and he couldn't absorb more incense faith in time. Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more critical, just as the second skill was about to fall from the third tier again, suddenly, the space in front of Zhang Chen twisted, and Fox Immortal Nannan appeared in front of Zhang Chen.
As soon as she appeared, Fox Immortal Nannan complained, "Zhang Chen, what is this jade pendant? Why is it so heavy? I almost couldn't hold on and was about to throw it into the void."
Fox Immortal Nannan's voice was full of dissatisfaction. Zhang Chen ignored Fox Immortal Nannan's complaints, and his eyes fell on the jade pendant in her hand. The next moment, his heart moved, and the jade pendant that Fox Immortal Nannan transported fell into Zhang Chen's hand.
This jade pendant seemed to be different from its form in the spiritual world. In the material world, the divine light on the jade pendant weakened a lot, becoming more restrained, with an indescribable sense of reality.
"Here's the flower for you, I want to go back." Fox Immortal Nannan threw the Golden Wind flower into Zhang Chen's arms, and the next moment, she drilled out of the cave.
The soul does not have the ability to traverse matter. Fox Immortal Nannan's soul could not pass through the cave and could only go out through the gaps.
Zhang Chen ignored Fox Immortal Nannan's departure and lowered his head to carefully examine the jade pendant in his hand. After observing for a while, he didn't notice anything peculiar about the jade pendant, and there were no patterns on either side.
"Hmm?" Zhang Chen looked at the jade pendant in a daze, thinking for a long time but couldn't figure it out. So, he summoned the Great自在天魔: "Do you know any secrets about this jade pendant?"
The Great自在天魔 glanced at the jade pendant and then slowly said, "You can try injecting mana into it."
Zhang Chen did as he was told, mobilizing the mana in his body and injecting it into the jade pendant. The next moment, a shimmering light flashed in the jade pendant, and then crystal-clear characters emerged from the jade pendant, dancing in the air like butterflies flitting through flowers, forming an immortal article.
Zhang Chen looked at the article, reading each word: "《The Hercules Moving Mountain Method》, this supernatural power cultivates the physical body, aiming to cultivate the power of the physical body. After it is completed, it has the power to carry mountains and chase the moon."
"It's actually this method?" The Great自在天魔 glanced at it from the side and said with a surprised expression.
"Have you heard of it?" Zhang Chen moved his gaze away from the formula, turned his head to look at the Great自在天魔, and asked curiously. This old thing had an unpredictable origin. It wouldn't be strange if he knew the Hercules Moving Mountain Method.
The Great自在天魔 then said, "Of course I've heard of this method. It is said that this method is a secret of a certain Daoist lineage. If it can be combined with the 《Profound Skill Transformation》 and 《Giant Opening Heaven》, two supreme methods, it can form a supreme Dao: 《Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill》."
"Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill?" Zhang Chen's pupils shrank, his eyes full of shock. Was this Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill the same Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill that he knew?
That was the supreme formula of Taoism. It is said that it was inherited from the Great God Pangu and was the supreme method summarized by the Three Pure Ones of Taoism after sorting out the memory of Pangu's legacy.
If it is combined with the Wu clan's Eight Nine Mysterious Skill, it is expected to covet the legendary Pangu's real body.
"Have you heard of this formula?" The Great自在天魔 looked at him with a face full of surprise. If he had heard of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, it would be reasonable, but Zhang Chen had actually heard of it too, then this kid was obviously not normal.
"I've heard of it by chance." Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在天魔 with burning eyes: "Where can I get the other two exercises?"
"How would I know where to get them?" The Great自在天魔 said unhappily: "If I knew, I would have stolen them long ago, where would you have a share?"
Zhang Chen felt that what this guy said made sense.
"Tell me about the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill you mentioned." Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在天魔 with burning eyes.
The Great自在天魔 didn't hide it when he heard the words: "It is said that this mysterious skill is a method of sanctifying the flesh. Once it is cultivated, it has incredible power. It can be ever-changing, orchestrating good fortune, can open up the universe, can reverse yin and yang and reconcile Kanli, possessing incredible energy and incredible power."
Zhang Chen nodded thoughtfully, tapping the jade pendant lightly with his finger. Based on the description alone, he couldn't judge whether this Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill was the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill he had heard of in his previous life.
In his cognition, all supernatural powers, when cultivated to a very high state, will have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth and move stars and change battles.
"Forget it, it's useless to think so much. The most important thing for me is to first practice the Hercules Moving Mountain Method." Zhang Chen looked at the words on the jade pendant, recorded them after reading them several times, and then began to carefully ponder.
This Hercules Moving Mountain Method, said to be a profound skill, is actually mainly manifested as a supernatural power. It cultivates a total of 48,000 rune imprints, and then places the rune imprints in the 48,000 acupoints around one's body. When the time comes, it will have the power to move mountains and change battles.
However, this profound skill only cultivates the power of the physical body, does not practice the realm, does not seek the great Dao, only seeks the power of supernatural powers, but cannot prolong life. But in terms of the method alone, it can be called the best of the Xuanmen left path.
If it is practiced to great success, even if the Great Luo gods descend, they can also wrestle their wrists.
"To practice this supernatural power, you also need a strange stone to serve as the foundation and sustenance of the natal supernatural power. Engrave the first fundamental rune seed on that strange stone, and then use this as a basis and foundation to continuously cultivate 48,000 rune imprints, so as to avoid some disadvantages in the cultivation process. And the quality of the natal stone determines the height of future cultivation." Zhang Chen gradually figured out a few key points at this time.
To practice this supernatural power, it doesn't mean that if you have the cultivation method, you will definitely be able to cultivate 48,000 rune imprints. The key is to see whether the foundation on which the rune imprints are placed has the power to carry 48,000 rune imprints.
If the natal stone can only carry a thousand, and it will explode if it exceeds a thousand, then naturally it cannot be cultivated to great success and perfection.
