I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 182: Classic of Mountains and Seas: Zhaoyao Mountain

Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon. This guy's tone was a bit arrogant.

"Speak nicely." Zhang Chen glared at the Great Freedom Demon.

The Great Freedom Demon smiled awkwardly upon hearing this: "Ordinary creatures have their own wisdom, so how can they be affected by the power of faith? Moreover, without the transformation of mysterious power, the power of faith is nothing more than a thought that comes and goes for ordinary people."

Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this, but no one knew what he was thinking about.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you. You must not enter other people's tribes at will. To be more precise, you must not enter the territories of other gods. Gods have their own territories and they guard their own power of faith very strictly. If a god enters the territory of another god, it will be regarded as seizing faith, and a war will be inevitable. Your magic power is useless for mysterious nourishment in this era, so you must not be arrogant." The Great Freedom Demon seemed to remember something and hurriedly warned.

"I understand." Zhang Chen responded.

At this time, the eyes of the Great Freedom Demon showed a hint of fanaticism: "Boy, don't worry, I will protect you from now on."

"You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to protect me?" Zhang Chen looked at the arrogant Great Freedom Demon. Why was he so unconvinced?

"What do you know? This is my era. Those mysteries accept the power of faith. I will disguise myself as their believer and kowtow to them. My emotions, energy and spirit will be disguised as the power of faith, mixed in with the countless powers of faith and invade secretly. By then, the whole world will belong to me." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was full of fanaticism.

"Fuck! You are going to poke a hole in the sky!" Zhang Chen was horrified when he heard that. He knew that he could not let the Great Free Demon out. Once he let this grandson out, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause.

Then Zhang Chen hurriedly searched for the porcelain bottle in his arms, wanting to seal the Great Freedom Demon again to prevent this grandson from causing trouble for him.

"You are too short-sighted! Don't you think about it, if I control those gods, doesn't it mean that you also control those gods? At that time, those mysterious objects will be at your disposal, and you can have as many mysteries as you want?" When the Great Freedom Demon saw that Zhang Chen was frightened by him, he hurriedly tried to persuade him, and at the same time he wanted to slap himself in the face, telling him why he was talking nonsense, it would not be too late to inform him after he had done the thing.

"This is a great opportunity for us. If we can take advantage of it to dominate the first spiritual world and then plunder all the benefits of the first world, just imagine how much your cultivation will improve to?" The Great Freedom Demon tried to persuade.

Zhang Chen paused in his search for the porcelain bottle and looked towards the Great Freedom Demon. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he thought of the legendary elixir of life and other items.

"Don't cause any big trouble. If I'm implicated, don't blame me for sacrificing my own interests for the sake of justice," said Zhang Chen.

Seeing Zhang Chen let go, the Great Freedom Demon finally felt relieved: "How could I implicate you? We are good friends. Don't worry, even if those gods discover my tricks, I have already stationed in their spiritual world, and those old guys can't do anything to me."

When the Great Freedom Demon said this, he was ready to run away. Who knew that Zhang Chen might change his mind and ruin his plan?

"I have to go and be busy. If you encounter any questions, do not summon me back. Just summon out the lotus petal that I left for you, and I can talk to you." The Great Freedom Demon instructed Zhang Chen, and in an instant his body changed into thousands of shapes, flying in all directions like a locust.

“I don’t know whether it is a right decision to let him invade the gods of the first level of the spiritual world.” Zhang Chen sighed as he looked at the disappearing figure of the Great Freedom Demon.

But there is no doubt that he was tempted. If the Great Freedom Demon could accomplish this, wouldn't it be equivalent to him being able to control all the gods in the world? All the gods would become his puppets? Could they be used by him?

He has the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, coupled with the soul-snatching skill, so he is not afraid of the Great Freedom Demon's backlash.

Zhang Chen sat under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air while preparing to meditate and practice Qi. As he practiced the techniques, Zhang Chen immediately noticed something different. When he used the Square Heaven and Round Earth Diagram to restore his mental strength, he saw a suction force emanating from the treasure bottle in the visualization diagram. In just a breath, the bottle was filled with the essence of the sun and the moon, which dripped onto Zhang Chen's soul and restored Zhang Chen's soul to its peak state.

Now that his soul had recovered and there was an endless supply of golden light, Zhang Chen chose to practice Qi directly.

This is definitely the best time to practice. You must know that there is the essence of the sun and the moon to continuously replenish your energy and spirit, and there is also an endless supply of golden light to provide replenishment. This is simply a paradise for practice.

Especially the treasure vase, which can gather a full bottle of the essence of the sun and the moon in just a breath. This place is simply a paradise for qigong practitioners.

“The sun and the moon are as big as tall buildings, and the stars are as big as plates. This is not without its benefits.” After Zhang Chen finished meditating and practicing Qi, he continued to visualize the “Diagram of the Square Heaven and the Round Earth” to restore his mental strength, and he kept repeating this process.

In this mysterious place, he can continue to practice.

Zhang Chen didn't open his eyes until the sun set. Feeling the increase in progress points, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Not bad! Not bad! It increased by 300 points in half a day. It's a great place! But this is the first heaven. Everything here is made up of spirit. I wonder if I can bring the magic power I cultivated back with me."

This is where Zhang Chen feels a little conflicted.

The sound of chopping firewood was heard nearby. Zhang Chen turned his head and saw that the young man called 'Di' was chopping firewood very carefully, for fear of disturbing Zhang Chen. Soon, a bonfire was seen rising. The young man took the uneaten rabbit meat and smoked and heated it again.

Seeing Zhang Chen looking at him, the young man said flatteringly, "God, please wait a moment. The rabbit will be heated up soon."

Zhang Chen nodded when he heard this. He felt a little hungry. Rabbit meat could not relieve hunger. Eating rabbit meat would only make people thinner and thinner.

Soon the young man finished roasting the rabbit meat, wiped the dust off his hands carefully, then carefully wrapped the rabbit legs with leaves, tore them off the rabbit's body, and handed them to Zhang Chen: "God, please enjoy."

Zhang Chen took the rabbit leg, looked at the young man's cautious eyes, then smiled and said, "I am not a god, and I don't like people calling me a god. I am a living person. I am a few years older than you. You can just call me big brother."

He liked the young man very much. The young man showed a lot of cleverness, just like himself when he was a child.

"This..." The young man hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed his words: "My younger brother has met Brother Zhang."

"That's right, let's eat meat." Zhang Chen said.

The young man took the rabbit head and started chewing it. He looked at Zhang Chen carefully and said, "Brother Zhang, where are you from? Which tribe are you from?"

"My tribe is in a very remote place, and its name... is: Xuanyuan." Zhang Chen didn't know how to answer for a moment. At this moment, he thought of the tribe from his hometown. As a descendant of the bloodline of Emperor Huangdi, the word Xuanyuan popped into his mind.

"What is Xuanyuan?" The young man was stunned and asked in confusion. "Xuanyuan is a kind of frame." Zhang Chen explained the structure of the frame to the young man, and the young man was amazed: "There is such a sophisticated mechanism, it is really an incredible invention, big brother's tribe must be a big tribe with a ninth-level god sitting in charge."

"Of course it's a big tribe." Zhang Chen said.

"There must be a hundred thousand people." the young man said with longing.

"Wrong, it's 1.3 billion!"

Zhang Chen recalled his hometown and began to correct the young man's words.

"Billion? What unit of measurement is that?" The young man was puzzled. In this primitive tribe, there was no record of "billion".

Zhang Chen patiently explained to the young man, and when he understood the unit of measurement of 100 million, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "With such a large population, I'm afraid that the thousands of tribes in the entire Tiannan combined may not have that many."

"Tiannan?" Zhang Chen looked thoughtfully at the boy, "Can you tell me about Tiannan? I came from far away and I don't know anything about Tiannan. I need to know the situation here."

The young man smiled and said, "Brother, if you want to hear it, let me tell you. I will teach you everything about Tiannan."

"In this world, there is an unnamed mountain connecting the sky and the earth. It is divided into five regions: East, South, West, North and Center. Outside, there is a mysterious land, four seas and eight wildernesses whose names are unknown and no one has ever walked out. The place we are in is the South Region of the Sky, and some people call it the South Mountain. There are thirty-eight mountains of various sizes in the South Mountain area, and there are countless tribes of various sizes around each mountain. The area we are in is a small tribe on Zhaoyao Mountain."

"Zhaoyao Mountain?" Zhang Chen was stunned. This name was so familiar. It was the same name as the Zhaoyao Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"My tribe is a small tribe in Zhaoyao Mountain. There are 3,000 men, women, old and young, and less than 500 young and strong." The young man spoke slowly and explained to Zhang Chen, and even talked about his past.

He was originally the son of the leader of the "Ape" tribe, but was framed, which led to the failure of his coming-of-age ceremony. He then left the tribe and wandered around. He is a typical template of a useless protagonist.

"So, you will have to wander around from now on?" Zhang Chen asked.

The young man pointed to his chest and said, "My ribs are broken. I can't hunt the tooth beasts anymore. I can't use the blood of the tooth beasts to activate my blood. Unless I am given some time to recover, and then hunt the beasts, I can use the blood of the beasts to bathe and activate my blood. Only then can I return to the tribe."

At this point, the young man's eyes revealed a trace of sadness: "I am the young chief of the tribe, and the only one. If I die outside, the inheritance of the tribe will definitely fall into the hands of someone else and will be taken away by that damn guy."

"I am willing to die, but I will never hand over the future of the tribe to the hands of a despicable person!" Tears were flashing in the eyes of the young man 'Di', and his voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and rage.

Zhang Chen did not comment and continued eating the barbecue: "How did you appear in the desert?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I...I can't bring shame to my father. If I die in the desert, my father won't be able to see my body and he will still have some hope. If I die in the jungle, my father will be sad when he sees my body." The young man lowered his voice.

After hearing this, Zhang Chen fell silent. His eating movements slowed down a bit, but he didn't say anything.

The sun was setting and the moonlight was like water. Zhang Chen looked at the moon that was more than ten stories tall. Although it was dark at this time, it was no different from daytime. After swallowing the last bite of rabbit meat, Zhang Chen glanced at the young man and slowly stood up: "You continue eating, I'm leaving."

Everyone has his own destiny. He and the young man were just chance acquaintances, and he was just a passer-by who passed by briefly and could not help the young man in any way.

After saying this, Zhang Chen walked towards the depths of the jungle. The weather was a little chilly today, so it was a good opportunity for him to transform into a vampire bat and absorb the moonlight, while exploring the world at the same time.

But after Zhang Chen walked a hundred meters, he stopped and turned his head to look, only to see the young man carrying some rabbit meat that he had not finished eating, grinning and following him thirty meters behind him.

In the moonlight he could clearly see that the young man was grimacing in pain because of his broken ribs, but he didn't make any sound.

Zhang Chen looked at the boy, and the boy also looked at Zhang Chen. He gave Zhang Chen a shy smile and said softly, "I just want to follow behind you and will never affect you. I know I am a burden, but I will follow you as far as I can. You don't have to consider me, just treat me as if I don't exist."

At this point the young man's voice was filled with pleading: "Please, I don't want to die!"

During the day, the sun is scorching and all living creatures hide away to rest. Night is the best time for wild animals to find food.

The young man knew that if he walked alone in the darkness, he might not survive the night.

Zhang Chen looked at the young man and waved to him. He felt that the young man's face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but when he thought carefully, he had no memory of where exactly.

I recalled all the people I had ever seen, and none of them looked like this face.

"What do you want me to do?"

When the young man saw Zhang Chen waving at him, he quickly came forward and asked in a flattering manner.

"Didn't I tell you to call me Big Brother? If you want to follow me, just tell me directly. Why do this?" Zhang Chen touched the young man's head, took the rabbit meat off his shoulder and threw it on the ground: "Only the bones are left. What's the point of holding it?"

"Come with me, let's take a walk in the jungle together." Zhang Chen said.

"Brother, are you willing to take me in? Don't you think I'm a burden?" The young man's eyes were full of disbelief, with tears streaming down his cheeks.

Pain had never made him cry, and being abandoned had never made him cry, but at this moment he really couldn't hold it back anymore, and tears streamed down his face.
