I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 134: World in Ruins
According to the fox fairy Nannan, in the first heaven of the spiritual world, there should be countless exotic flowers and plants, and endless opportunities for creation. How come it is completely different from what the fox fairy Nannan said now?

It shouldn’t be!

It's totally wrong!

Zhang Chen was full of question marks at this time. The next moment, his soul stretched out his hand, and a rune flashed on the palm of his hand. The rune instantly turned into the appearance of a fox spirit.

"Where is this?" As soon as the fox spirit appeared, she immediately found something wrong, especially the strange strong wind from the outside, which made her soul sway, as if the candle flame in the wind could dissipate at any time.

Fortunately, at this time the green lotus above Zhang Chen's head flickered, emitting green light, blocking the black wind from the outside, like a warm harbor, protecting the two of them firmly.

“Isn’t this the first level of the spiritual world that you’ve always dreamed of, where magical herbs and plants are everywhere, and opportunities and fortune can be found everywhere?” Zhang Chen looked at the fox fairy Nannan.

Fox Fairy Nannan was stunned upon hearing this, her eyes full of disbelief: "Impossible! Doesn't the ancient book record that the spiritual world contains countless creations and infinite mysteries? How could it be like this?"

The fox fairy Nannan could vaguely see the ruins through the black sand, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of caution in her eyes.

After hearing what the fox fairy Nannan said, Zhang Chen immediately understood that the fox fairy Nannan should know nothing about the spiritual world, and his idea of ​​asking the fox fairy Nannan was in vain.

The spiritual world is an unfamiliar area compared to the real world, an area that no one has touched upon.

Zhang Chen looked towards the spiritual world with a cautious look in his eyes: "What is that black sand?"

Zhang Chen looked at the vixen. The vixen noticed Zhang Chen's gaze and suddenly shuddered. A bad premonition came to her mind: "Boy, what are you going to do?"

The fox fairy Nannan sensed something was wrong and quickly clasped her hands over her chest, staring at him cautiously.

Zhang Chen showed a strange smile. The next moment, the vixen realized that she had lost control of her body and shouted in alarm, "No! It will kill me!"

Unfortunately, how could the fox fairy Nannan’s words influence Zhang Chen’s decision?
The fox fairy Nannan left the protection of the green lotus and rushed into the black sandstorm. Then the fox fairy Nannan's soul came into contact with the sandstorm, and like sand, it floated in the void and was decomposed by the black storm.

"What the hell? The soul of the fox fairy Nannan has reached the eighth level of possession, but it can't even hold out for a breath facing the wind and sand? Isn't this too exaggerated?" Zhang Chen was shocked, his eyes full of disbelief.

Fortunately, the fox fairy Nannan has now become Zhang Chen's skill, which can be regarded as an immortal existence. Zhang Chen can summon the fox fairy Nannan at any time. He is not afraid that the fox spirit will die and make him short of money in the future.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Zhang Chen looked at the void in front of him, a hint of shock in his eyes, and his eyes were filled with confusion.

Even the soul of the fox fairy Nannan was blown away by the wind and sand. If a human soul accidentally entered it, it would surely suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Zhang Chen looked up at the green lotus floating above his head. A mysterious chaotic airflow was flowing outside the green flower bud, and magic power was flowing inside the flower bud, like lamp oil, being consumed bit by bit.

"After one hour, the magic power in the flower bud will be exhausted, and the Green Lotus will lose its protective power." Zhang Chen looked at the magic power consumed in the flower bud, and felt a trace of inexplicable feeling in his heart. This was information that he obtained naturally from the dark.

"What is this Green Lotus? How could it have such a mysterious effect in the spiritual world?" Zhang Chen was curious, but unfortunately he didn't know much about Qigong practitioners and couldn't understand the origin of the Green Lotus.

“I don’t know if the fox spirit will be traumatized after being annihilated by the black wind.” Zhang Chen thought to himself and summoned the fox spirit’s soul again.

"You damn two-legged beast, you are going too far!" The fox fairy Nannan appeared in front of Zhang Chen, leaping and dancing, and complained to Zhang Chen with dissatisfaction.

"What does it feel like?" Zhang Chen asked the vixen.

"The black wind is the natural enemy of the soul. I had no power to resist it at all. Before I could react, I was blown away like a gust of sand." Fox Fairy Nannan said helplessly.

Zhang Chen was silent after hearing this, and then he said to the fox fairy Nannan: "What do you think is the use of this spiritual world?"

The fox fairy Nannan shook her head. The spiritual world was too mysterious. It was also her first time in the spiritual world. How could she know more than Zhang Chen?

Moreover, among the ancient tombs of gods and demons unearthed from the outside world, there are very few classics that record about the spiritual world.

Seeing that the fox spirit was at a loss for words, Zhang Chen simply turned the fox spirit into a rune and put it away. This was a mysterious spiritual world, and he couldn't let the fox spirit get the advantage. What if the fox spirit saw through some secrets, wouldn't he be at a great loss?

Zhang Chen looked at the broken ruins under his feet, and then picked up a broken jade brick on the ground. However, after holding the jade brick in his hand, he saw that the broken jade brick twisted and turned into a broken rune.

The runes were similar to the runes recorded on the two pages of the book that Zhang Chen had seen the ancient immortal flipping through, but the specific lines and content were completely different. However, this rune was only half, and had completely lost any value for observation and comprehension.

"How strange! How can jade bricks turn into runes? What a strange world." Zhang Chen stood in the dark world, looking at the broken bricks on the ground. He lowered his head to pick them up and found that after he picked up the broken bricks, they all turned from jade bricks into runes.

"It's a bit strange." Zhang Chen muttered to himself and threw the rune away. The rune turned into a jade brick again after it left his hand, and hit the ground with a sound, splashing up clouds of dust.

"This shouldn't be possible! Isn't this a spiritual world? How could there be a palace? And the palace was destroyed? What force destroyed the palace in the spiritual world?" At this time, Zhang Chen had too many doubts in his mind, but no one could answer them for him.

Zhang Chen took careful steps and walked in the broken palace against the dark wind and sand. On the pillars and bricks of the broken walls, mysterious symbols were flashing, and wonderful energy was flowing on the symbols, which looked extremely mysterious.

Zhang Chen walked in the ruined palace for a while. Apart from the ruins, there were still ruins, just like a house that had been torn down. "I wonder if there are any treasures left in the ruins of the palace. These are treasures in the spiritual world. If I can get one or two, I will definitely have incredible merits, and even have the capital to deal with Yangshen Zhenren. If those Yangshen Zhenren dare to come, I will definitely kill them." Zhang Chen walked and stopped in the ruins, looking for treasures in his heart. Unfortunately, he walked for a long time and didn't find anything good in the ruins.

As for the collapsed walls of the ruins, he couldn't even climb over them, so naturally he had no idea what was buried under the palace.

However, at a certain moment, Zhang Chen suddenly stopped and looked at a pillar with runes engraved on it. At this time, the runes were flashing according to a certain pattern, and the light was flashing along the lines of the runes, as if it was still running.

Zhang Chen paused, staring at the rune lines with his eyes fixed, following the light flowing along the lines. A thunderclap exploded in his mind: "Aren't those lines the order in which the runes are drawn? Or is it the order in which the runes in front of me are drawn? Although there are many runes in the world, there must be something in common, right?"

Zhang Chen did not leave at this time, because the palace was too big and he could not reach the end for the time being. He might as well study the runes to see if he could use the broken runes in the palace to comprehend the two complete runes left by the ancient gods.

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the rune, watching the trajectory of the light flowing through the lines on the rune, and then he imitated it with his fingers in the void, comparing it with his own rune.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself. Although the runes were different, the order of the strokes was always similar.

Zhang Chen observed for a long time before withdrawing his gaze. His finger traced a path in the air, and after carefully pondering for a moment, he finally understood: "So that's it! So that's it! I didn't expect there was such a secret!"

Zhang Chen looked at the trajectory of the lines and suddenly had an epiphany. He felt that he had made a mistake in the order of outlining the runes he had practiced before.

After getting inspiration and making corrections, Zhang Chen continued to lower his head to look at the rune, and continued to ponder it, until he felt that the broken rune no longer inspired him, so he turned his head to look at the ruins, looking for a new rune.

But at this moment, his heart suddenly moved. He had already predicted that the magic power in his body would soon be exhausted and he had to go back.

But how to go back?
Just as Zhang Chen was thinking, his perception had reappeared in his body. Looking at the darkness in front of him, Zhang Chen was stunned: "Is it dark already?"

So after taking out the flint and lighting the candle, Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Xiaodouding's room. He didn't see Xiaodouding coming downstairs today. He felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he sat in front of the candle and thought about things in the spiritual world.

"I didn't expect that the spiritual world behind the barrier was actually in ruins, and the whole world was filled with black sand. The black sand specifically restrains souls and is very unfriendly to them." Zhang Chen thought about various possibilities: "I just don't know if in the black sand world, is it that the palace collapsed and was covered by the black sand, or is it that the whole world is covered by the black sand."

Zhang Chen felt a little strange at this moment. A world inexplicably appeared in his spiritual state. Although he knew that there were thirty-three mysterious heavens in this world after the explanation of the fox fairy Nannan, he still felt a little inexplicably proud that he had accidentally entered it.

“But I don’t know how much luck there is in the spiritual world?” Zhang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of thought.

But regardless of whether there were any other gains, the runes in the ruins alone were enough for him to gain.

"Perhaps I can use the broken runes in the ruins to figure out the usage of the two runes I obtained. The world will become more and more chaotic in the future, and I must find a way to protect myself."

Zhang Chen said this secretly in his heart, and then began to meditate and visualize the diagram of the square sky and round earth to restore his exhausted spirit, and then practiced qi to restore his magic power.

Zhang Chen meditated for a long time, and the moonlight was like flowing water, which was constantly absorbed by Zhang Chen. Suddenly, at a certain moment, the moonlight in the vase was filled up and sprinkled on Zhang Chen's soul. Zhang Chen's tired soul was quickly restored, and his exhausted spirit was also nourished at this time.

"The way my magic power recovers is very strange. It actually relies on the golden light to make up for it. The golden light combines with my soul and turns into magic power." Zhang Chen sensed the constantly flowing golden light. As the qigong technique was practiced, the golden light combined with the power of the soul and entered the upper dantian and was poured into the green lotus.

"How strange! What exactly is my righteous divine light?" He was confused, but fortunately his own righteous divine light was inexhaustible and could be replenished quickly, otherwise there would be a big problem, and this Qigong method would be useless, and he would not be able to become an immortal.

"So, this world is unable to cultivate Qi and practice immortality, is it because it lacks some mysterious substance? For example, my Light of Righteousness?" A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and as his mental strength recovered, he operated the Square Heaven and Round Earth Diagram to replenish the consumption of his soul, and then he flashed and entered the mysterious spiritual world again.

Zhang Chen did not wander around in the ruins, fearing that there might be some danger inside. Instead, he carefully felt the runes engraved on the walls and bricks, using them to decipher the stroke order of the two runes he had obtained.

The runes engraved on the pillars are the best teachers. There is a light spot moving on the runes, flowing in the order of the runes' strokes.

There are many runes engraved in the ruins. Even though the palace is broken, the runes are still flashing.

But what were more numerous were the broken runes, randomly carved in the ruins, just like ghostly drawings.

The broken rune was of no use to Zhang Chen, so he ignored it.

Time passed, and soon his magic power was exhausted again, and Zhang Chen's spiritual will returned to his body again.

"Zhang Chen, what are you doing?" The little kid was chewing the fruit, his eyes full of worry. "I called you for a long time just now, but you didn't answer."

Zhang Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and he realized the drawbacks of his own practice. Once his spirit and soul wandered in the spiritual world, he actually lost his perception of the outside world. If someone tried to assassinate him at this time, he would probably have no ability to resist.

"Does this mean that I will have to find someone to protect me in the future?" Zhang Chen thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen suppressed his thoughts and did not answer Cheng Yu's question. Instead, he said to the little kid, "Why are you here?"

"I was learning to read on it, and suddenly I remembered that the Taoist temple is preparing for a competition. I can pass the complete True Dragon Frame to you first. Although it will be a little more troublesome for you to practice, we can practice together and speed up the practice." said the little bean.
