Chapter 271 The Little Wildcat Has Run Away!!!
Thinking of the black-robed monster constantly urging him to leave, Zhang Chen was somewhat tempted, as he desperately needed to improve his strength.
Especially with the upcoming battle to seize the Coffin of the Evergreen Tree!
Wanting to snatch the Coffin of the Evergreen Tree from the hands of countless big shots, Zhang Chen felt that he might not be qualified enough.
Putting aside everything else, Yang God realm experts would inevitably take action, and even if they didn't, high-level bloodline users and ability users would definitely not stand idly by.
After much deliberation, Zhang Chen still didn't want to go to the Netherworld; it was simply too terrifying, the waters were too deep for him to navigate. He should find another way out!
"I can't afford to lose this gamble! I now have the means to restrain the black-robed monster. If the black-robed monster succeeds in seizing my body, and his soul loses its anchor, he will surely be controlled by me. Even if he is secretly preparing some benefits in the Netherworld, I can get a share."
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen dismissed the idea.
"Snatching food from the tiger's mouth is difficult, so I need to prepare some measures." Zhang Chen took a breath and began to gather his scattered thoughts: "I went to the Netherworld, accidentally fainted, and then spent a month escaping. I wonder how long it has been? It should have been two months, right? I wonder if the Daoist temple has discovered my disappearance?"
How should he explain it after returning to the Daoist temple?
Zhang Chen felt a headache at this thought, but since he had to explain it anyway, he might as well cultivate a divine ability in the mountains before returning to the Daoist temple.
Zhang Chen stopped thinking about how to explain things to the Daoist temple and instead focused on cultivating a divine ability before going out. Since he was delaying the time anyway, he might as well maximize the benefits.
The first level of the Harmonious Sand Art was not so easy to cultivate, as it involved many intricacies that required the practitioner to slowly hone over time.
"There are two very peculiar acupoints in the human nose. These two acupoints are connected to the Mysterious Pass acupoint and can reflect the void, possessing infinite mysteries. The first step of the Harmonious Sand Art is to find the two most peculiar acupoints in the nose, as these two acupoints are the foundation of the Harmonious Sand Art. After finding the two acupoints, refine the strange wind and sand into those acupoints according to the Harmonious Sand Art, and then refine them according to a certain technique. This can be considered a success."
Zhang Chen looked inward, his mind focusing on his nasal cavity, searching for the legendary two acupoints.
These two acupoints are called 'Hum' and 'Ha,' each containing a congenital energy, a primordial energy brought from the mother's womb at birth.
Zhang Chen circulated his mana, following the incantation of the Harmonious Sand Art. In just three hours, he found the location of the two mysterious acupoints in his nasal cavity.
The two acupoints, one red and one white, flickered with a luminous glow in the darkness, constantly pulsating like breathing.
"Found them."
Zhang Chen was secretly delighted and quickly followed the incantation, pouring his mana into the acupoints to perform the first step: fixing the acupoints.
As Zhang Chen circulated the incantation, his mana transformed into mysterious runes under the effect of the incantation, pouring into the acupoints. Then, the two light clusters grew continuously and finally stabilized, beginning to actively absorb Zhang Chen's mana.
With the first step of fixing the acupoints completed, the next step was to nourish them, constantly nourishing the acupoints, and then refining the strange wind and sand into the two acupoints respectively. After that, it was about rooting and refining, ultimately merging the two into one to cultivate an unparalleled divine ability.
With the acupoints fixed, nourishing them was not difficult. Zhang Chen nourished them for seven days and began to refine the Yin Wind from the wind bag.
Because the black-robed monster had said that the Yin Wind could only be stored for a month. Once it exceeded a month, the wind bag would leak again, releasing all the Yin Wind.
At the moment, Zhang Chen didn't want to go to the Netherworld again, so once the Yin Wind leaked out, he would have to find other strange winds.
Refining the Yin Wind was easy for Zhang Chen because he had the Wind-Fixing Pill. In his hands, the Yin Wind was like a sheep, unable to exert even a trace of its power and completely without any resistance. Zhang Chen absorbed it into the Ha acupoint.
In one day, Zhang Chen refined the Yin Wind into the acupoint. The black-robed monster had captured too much Yin Wind; Zhang Chen only used one-tenth of it, leaving the rest unused.
Inside Zhang Chen's Ha acupoint, a black vortex rotated. Countless runes were derived in that black vortex, with runes constantly appearing and disappearing, looking very mysterious.
Zhang Chen glanced at the black vortex. At this time, the fixing and rooting of the acupoint were completed. The next step was to nourish it, which required a huge amount of mana and could not be completed in a short time. Nourishing was a delicate task that required a long time, requiring constant cultivation and constant nourishment.
Zhang Chen put away the wind bag and took out the grain of golden sand. For him, refining the golden sand was the most important and challenging task to overcome.
As Zhang Chen's thoughts moved, the grain of golden sand instantly transformed into a small pile, directly placed in front of him, shimmering with golden light. It looked a bit like a jade material, very peculiar.
"This golden sand is the substance left behind after the burning of the souls and flesh of the innate demon gods, and it is blessed by the power of the Blood Sea, possessing mysterious power. It contains the most quintessential origin of the innate demon gods, with the brand of the innate demon gods' laws. Once it bursts out, who knows what kind of power it will have!" Zhang Chen looked at the yellow sand in front of him, no longer thinking too much. He pinched a hand seal, began to circulate his mana, and then pointed at the yellow sand in front of him. A wisp of yellow energy emerged from the yellow sand, winding and drilling into Zhang Chen's Hum acupoint.
Originally, Zhang Chen's empty and boundless Hum acupoint now burst out with runes. When the yellow energy fell into the Hum acupoint, a stream of mysterious notes burst out from the Hum acupoint. Under the vibration of the notes, countless yellow energies transformed into tiny grains of sand, piling up in the void.
While Zhang Chen circulated the magic formula, he also watched coldly. In his magic eyes, what was that yellow sand? It was clearly a pile of runes stacked in the void. Soon, countless yellow sands fell like rain, forming a land.
"Runes? Sand?" A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind: "Is it a bit similar to the spiritual world? To be precise, it's the same method as the spiritual world. Is there any connection between the two?"
Sparks of inspiration flickered in Zhang Chen's mind, but unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he could not find a connection.
"My cultivation is still too low." Zhang Chen shook his head secretly. The spiritual world involved the greatest secret of this world, how could he easily find it?
Zhang Chen looked at the Ha acupoint again, and the black vortex was not a black vortex at all. It was clearly countless chains of rune order transformed into a vortex constantly intertwined and rotating according to a certain law. When the countless chains of runes rotated, a mysterious force was derived from the center of the vortex.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen was thoughtful and seemed to have remembered something, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
Time passed quickly. A full month passed, and Zhang Chen's Hum acupoint was covered with yellow sand. At a glance, it looked as if there was an extra continent in the Hum acupoint.
Zhang Chen did not use up all the yellow sand that the black-robed monster had brought, only one-tenth of it.
Looking at the remaining yellow sand and Yin Wind, Zhang Chen did not know how to dispose of them. After all, whether it was strange wind or strange sand for his cultivation, he only needed a trigger.
"It's useless to keep it, but I have nowhere to hide it..." Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in the Nine Bends Yellow River Array, staring blankly at the piled-up sand, such a large pile of sand, it was not convenient to carry on his body.
Just as Zhang Chen was struggling in his heart, the crystal core in his body vibrated. Then, the yellow sand on the ground disappeared out of thin air and reappeared inside the crystal core, falling into the endless sea of blood.
"This..." Zhang Chen couldn't help but be stunned by this scene. Looking at the infinite sea of blood within the crystal core, the lotus pond blooming for thousands of miles in the sea of blood, and the blooming eleventh-grade lotus flower, Zhang Chen's heart flickered with doubts.
The lotus flower was burning with red flames. Looking at the eleventh-grade lotus flower, Zhang Chen didn't know what this lotus flower was for.
He only knew that this lotus flower represented the blood path's destiny, but as for what this eleventh-grade lotus flower was for, he really didn't know.
However, at this time, Zhang Chen had no intention to pay attention to the red lotus. Instead, he used all his energy to cultivate the Sand Unification Art. Now, he had already refined one kind of strange wind and strange sand. Next, he had to nurture them, constantly warming them with mana. Then, when casting the spell, he would merge the wind and sand and blow them out, which would be the Sand Unification Art.
"Is this considered mastering it? It took me a full month." Zhang Chen slowly stood up, put away the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array, and felt the two wonderful powers in his nasal cavity. A trace of mystery was lingering and deriving in his heart.
"I wonder what the power of my newly mastered supernatural power is. I really want to find an opportunity to try it out." Zhang Chen was a little curious.
"I also wonder how my God-Slaying Whip is being refined." Zhang Chen thought of his Eight Trigrams Furnace and felt a little anxious. It had been more than a month since he had checked on it. He didn't know if that bead had melted or not. After all, the God-Slaying Whip was of great importance. If his God-Slaying Whip was successfully refined, he would have a way to restrain those old guys who seize bodies.
No matter who you seize, I'll just whip you back directly and let you know how powerful I am.
Zhang Chen's mind moved, and he transformed into a vampire bat, flying out of the cave. He came all the way to the Eight Trigrams Furnace and saw that the mountains were calm. The warriors of the Inspection Division were constantly patrolling the mountains, secretly guarding the location of the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
"It seems that there were no accidents." Zhang Chen revealed his tracks in the dark and then quickly shuttled through the mountains, arriving at the cave. He saw the fox fairy Nannan sitting in the cave with a sad face.
Looking at the fox fairy Nannan's sad face, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a sudden shock. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why do you have such a sad face? Did something unexpected happen?"
Could it be that the treasure in his Eight Trigrams Furnace was ruined because no one had taken care of it for a long time?
"That little wildcat ran away!" The fox fairy Nannan said with a bitter face.
"What?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked: "Where is the rope that tied the wildcat?"
It didn't matter if the wildcat ran away, the key was the rope that tied the wildcat. That was a true dragon tendon, a priceless treasure.
Although it was useless in his hands, it was still a treasure, wasn't it? Could something that fell from a true dragon be bad?
"It was because that little wildcat swallowed the rope. Suddenly, its body soared, and then it roared and fainted me. Then, it took the opportunity to run away." The fox fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen with her eyes rolling, her eyes full of apprehension, fearing that Zhang Chen would blame her and lock her in the small dark room.
Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this and quickly rushed into the cave. Sure enough, the dragon tendon was gone.
"I really didn't do it on purpose. I was going to make explosives, who knew that little wildcat would take advantage of the loophole?" The fox fairy Nannan came closer, her voice full of grievance and caution.
"It's okay if it ran away. It's also its good fortune. It got the true dragon tendon, which can be considered to have obtained destiny. It will definitely achieve Dao in the future, and we will definitely meet again. I have already planted a method in its body. Even if it proves the fruit of a twelfth-order god, it will still be subdued by me in one encounter." Zhang Chen didn't care and comforted the fox fairy Nannan.
The reason why his Six-Character Mantra failed in the Netherworld world and could not restrain the innate mosquito was not because the Six-Character Mantra was not powerful, but because the strength gap between Zhang Chen and the innate mosquito was too great.
That innate mosquito was an existence above the twelfth order. It was already good that Zhang Chen could restrain the opponent for two breaths.
Zhang Chen was confident that even if the little wildcat gained destiny, it was wishful thinking to surpass him in cultivation speed. When he meets the little wildcat, subduing the opponent will be a piece of cake.
"Ah? ? ?" The fox fairy Nannan was shocked when she heard Zhang Chen's words, and her whole person couldn't help but lose her color: "You're not kidding, are you? What kind of method is this, so domineering?"
If the demon king Zhao Lie was controlled by a human kid, what would the demon race do in the future? Wouldn't they also be controlled by the human race? Wouldn't the future of the demon race be bleak?
The fox fairy Nannan was frightened by Zhang Chen's words, her eyes full of horror. This news was really going to scare people to death.
"Why do you have this kind of reaction?" Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the fox fairy Nannan, raised his eyebrows, and always felt that the fox spirit's reaction was a bit wrong.
I said I restrained the little wildcat, why is she reacting so strongly?
It's just a little wildcat, unless that little wildcat was born from a different species and possesses powerful talent, and its growth will surely be a pillar of the demon race.
"I'm just feeling emotional." Seeing that Zhang Chen was suspicious, the fox fairy Nannan quickly diverted Zhang Chen's attention and looked at Zhang Chen unhappily: "Why are you always suspicious all day long? You're too cunning and suspicious."
Just as countless thoughts flashed in Zhang Chen's mind, a slight cracking sound came from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, startling Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen didn't have time to entangle with the fox fairy Nannan, fearing that something abnormal would happen to the Eight Trigrams Furnace, so he quickly came to the Eight Trigrams Furnace to check.
Could it be that the exotic treasure has been melted? Is the God-Slaying Whip finally about to be refined and born?
After being interrupted by the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Zhang Chen's attention shifted from the problem of the little wildcat. He quickly devoted all his energy to the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Not only was he refining treasures here, but the key was that he had also invested a twelfth-order mystery. If something unexpected happened, he would cry to death!
In a distant mountain range
Gu Mingyue stood in a valley, lowered her head and stroked the earth with her palm, and divine power spread to the depths of the earth. Beside her, Mr. Wu Liu stood quietly, waiting for Gu Mingyue's news.
"Something's not right!"
After a long time, Gu Mingyue retracted her palm, looked at the mountains and rivers under her feet, and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Wu Liu couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Gu Mingyue's expression.
"Logically speaking, we have been preaching for more than a month and gathered a huge amount of incense destiny. That incense power should have been added to the old prince's soul to help him condense the dragon pearl. But in the past month, the old prince's soul has not only not grown stronger, but has weakened a lot. Even the ancestral vein of the dragon vein in the northern region has shrunk by one-tenth." Gu Mingyue said worriedly.
