I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 320: The Passage between the Material World and the Spiritual World
Family is a glory engraved in our bones.

For everyone, family is their roots and their foundation. No one can accept being removed from the family tree.

A man lives by his face, a tree lives by its bark. Being expelled from a clan is a lifelong shame. Even if one achieves greater success, it is equivalent to being nothing if one cannot return to the clan and achieve the ultimate achievement of bringing honor to the ancestors.

Moreover, in this era where loyalty, filial piety, trust and justice are paramount, if even family members cannot tolerate a person, how crazy would that be? What would outsiders think if the news got out? Who would dare to deal with him?

It’s a pity that Zhang Chen came from later generations, so how could he have any concept of clan?
If you don't want to return to the clan, then don't return to the clan. What's the big deal? There is no throne waiting for you to inherit in the clan. You can live well by working hard outside. Why should you return to the clan?
Anyway, I won’t starve to death!
As for credibility? What would outsiders think? Zhang Chen said he didn't care!
So facing the price offered by Zhang Gasi, Zhang Chen sighed softly. It turned out that the Zhang family was unwilling to rescue him back. It seemed that it was not that they could not rescue him, but that the cost-effectiveness was not worth it. Otherwise, why would Zhang Gasi offer such conditions at this time?

So facing Zhang Gaqi's confident expression, Zhang Chen's blood flow gradually began to speed up, and he was ready for the next move:
"What if I say no? Are you going to stop me?"

"No?" Zhang Gasi was stunned after hearing Zhang Chen's words. He stared at Zhang Chen blankly. He never expected that Zhang Chen would actually say no.

"I didn't hear clearly what you said just now. Please say it to me again." Zhang Gasi suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Zhang Chen said nothing, but just looked at Zhang Gaqi quietly. Then Zhang Gaqi fell silent for a while before saying, "Do you know what your choice means?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Do you want to force me to stay and complete the deal, or do you want to make way for me to pass?"

Zhang Gaqi shook his head helplessly and stepped aside: "You and I are from the same clan after all, and our bloodline is still within three generations. How could I attack you?"

"I just want to remind you that if you are willing to give me this ancient corpse, my strength will be enhanced to an invaluable level. By then, even if the old lady of my Zhang family falls, I can become the new pillar of support for the Zhang family in Shangjing, and hold up the sky for the entire Zhang family. The entire Zhang family will have at least two decades of good fortune, and the Zhang family will have more time to select and train new heirs. Even under my leadership, the strength of the Zhang family will be further improved and reach a higher level." Zhang Gasi was still unwilling and tried to persuade him earnestly.

Hearing Zhang Gaqi's words, Zhang Chen shook his head without responding, and just said: "If you don't do anything to me, then I will leave."

After saying that, Zhang Chen walked past Zhang Gasi calmly. Zhang Gasi looked at Zhang Chen's back and indeed did not intercept or chase him.

"If you change your mind one day, remember to come to Kyoto to find me." Zhang Gasi looked at Zhang Chen's stubborn back and shouted unwillingly.

The only response Zhang Gasi got was the figure getting farther and farther away, and Zhang Chen's arms waving with his back to him.

"You bastard! This kind of wildness and ambition is not something that those disciples at home who are immersed in rouge and powder can have." Zhang Gaqi shook his head:

"We need to find a way to bring such a talented person back into our family."

He did not think of this ancient corpse as the corpse of the ancient god and demon that had been making a lot of noise some time ago, otherwise he was afraid that he might change his mind.

Zhang Chen was seen running wildly carrying the corpse of the emperor's daughter. This time, Zhang Chen's movements were more careful. The ultrasonic waves continued to echo among the mountains, detecting all directions.

Even Zhang Chen, who was far away, saw the 100,000-strong army of the Pingbian Palace, which was bypassing the boiling magma and heading towards the center of the battlefield.

Zhang Chen had no intention of taking a detour. He directly pumped out groundwater and controlled the water flow to form a layer of ice on the magma. He walked away on the ice and disappeared into the night.

He doesn't have much time left. The loss of the ancient corpse in the Pingbian Palace cannot be concealed for too long. By then, the entire north will be in turmoil again, and all major forces will set their sights on him.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen’s efforts were not in vain. He did not encounter any accidents along the way and saw the battlefield where the water god exploded from a distance.

There were just too many people on the battlefield, with hundreds of figures constantly shuttling back and forth in the battlefield, hoping to find the fortune left by the gods.

"Niece, there are too many people ahead of us, and many of them even know you. The next test for us has just arrived." Zhang Chen patted the protective golden light of the princess and muttered to himself.

Unexpectedly, the princess looked towards the battlefield, and the next moment she turned into a golden light and slipped away from Zhang Chen's shoulder. Only the princess's stuttering voice could be heard in the darkness: "Thank you... I will take care of the rest...!"

When Zhang Chen saw the princess suddenly escape, he was stunned for a moment. Then, when he heard her stuttering voice, he guessed the meaning of her words.

"If you can't control the golden light and fly, why do you want me to carry you all the way?" Zhang Chen looked at the princess' back, speechless.

"Is it possible that before in the territory of Pingbian Palace, the dragon vein of Pingbian Palace suppressed the will of heaven and earth, and the princess did not want to waste her strength to resist?" The Great Freedom Demon appeared beside Zhang Chen: "If you want to ascend to the spiritual world, you must keep yourself in peak condition and face the vitality at the limit with the attitude of your prime."

Zhang Chen thought what he said made sense, and he said nothing for a long time. He just watched the princess's actions from a distance of dozens of miles.

The figure of the Emperor's daughter appeared in the center of the battlefield. She ignored the people who were looting supplies in the center of the battlefield. The next moment, the aura around her body was sublimated, and then a large amount of mysterious substance burst out from her body like running water, and flowed back to the sky and earth.

The princess was sublimated to the utmost, so the mysterious substance in her body naturally dissipated faster and became more difficult to lock.

The mysterious substance leaked out in all directions, causing the martial artists who were searching for the divine blood to experience changes in their blood. They gained various benefits and directly obtained the power of their blood, turning from ordinary people into gods.

In a certain valley, Chen Sanliang was quietly observing the situation on the field. Behind him, dozens of demon masters were lurking in the darkness, ready to catch all the masters in the north in one fell swoop. But who knew that the mysterious substance would sweep in like a wave, enveloping all the demons in an instant. The uncontrollable instincts of the demons behind him began to mutate, and even Chen Sanliang felt dizzy, with all the pores on his body opening up, swallowing the mysterious substance.

Faced with the vast majesty emanating from the imperial daughter, a group of monsters prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move at all. They could only instinctively devour the mysterious power emanating from between heaven and earth.

"Sir, should we still take action?" Bai Cang asked with his body trembling and his voice becoming hoarse under the terrifying pressure.

Chen Sanliang had already knelt on the ground, and turned his head to look at the big monsters behind him who had revealed their true forms. All of them had fallen into an evolutionary state, so how could they still have the strength to fight? "The situation is unclear, and I'm afraid this plan will be scrapped." Chen Sanliang sighed helplessly.

Bai Cang looked at the imperial daughter standing proudly in the night sky. His body was trembling, and he crawled on the ground with fear in his eyes: "Even if I faced the twelfth-level mystery of the Great Victory Dynasty, I have never been so scared. How can there be such an incredible existence in this world?"

The princess's ultimate sublimation, pressure, and mysterious aura suddenly burst out, causing everyone in the field to be horrified and fall to the ground one by one, unable to move at all.

Even though Zhang Chen was dozens of miles away, he was still swept by the mysterious wave surging out of the imperial daughter's body. Unfortunately, facing the mysterious wave, Zhang Chen had no sense at all. Not to mention evolution, he didn't even have the slightest reaction.

He cultivated magic power, and the concentration of magic power in his body was countless times richer than the mysterious power emitted by the emperor's daughter and diluted by the air.

“Now that the essence of the Emperor’s daughter is leaking out, she must race against time to see if she can devour the essence rules of the Water God faster, or if she can release her own divine power faster. If she releases her divine power faster than she devours the essence of the Water God, then she will fail in her ultimate sublimation, and she will probably die without a burial place.” The Great Freedom Demon muttered beside Zhang Chen, his voice more serious than ever before.

The aura of the Emperor's daughter burst out, and her terrifying power shook the world. The darkness in the north turned into day, as if a small sun was rising.

Under Zhang Chen's nervous gaze, the princess opened her mouth wide, and it seemed as if time was going backwards in the void. The water god origin that Liu Feng had erupted from before actually surged out from the void and was swallowed up by the princess.

The Emperor's daughter was worthy of being the Emperor's daughter. She did not disappoint Zhang Chen after all. She devoured the Water God's essence a thousand times faster than her own essence. In just one breath, all the essence in the sky had been absorbed by her.

Then the princess raised her head to the sky and roared. The ancient words in the dark seemed to transcend time and space and spread throughout the world again: "Golden Scissors!"

She is summoning the Golden Shears.

The golden scissors in the foundation of Zhang Chen's magic power vibrated and moved quickly within Zhang Chen's magic power, as if responding to the call of the imperial daughter, but did not rush out, but waited for Zhang Chen's instructions.

Zhang Chen thought about it, and saw the golden scissors turned into black and white light and flew out, directly piercing through the void and landed in the hands of the princess.

The golden scissors in the princess's hands turned into black and white airflow, which wrapped around her fist. Then the princess looked up at the void above her head, and the fist wrapped with the golden scissors suddenly punched out.

wow~
There was a loud bang like broken glass, which spread throughout the North. Then a black hole appeared above the Emperor's daughter's head. The black hole was several meters in size and kept twisting and changing into various shapes.

But that black hole was different from the black hole Zhang Chen knew in his previous life. The black holes Zhang Chen knew in his previous life had all kinds of powerful swallowing power, even stars could be swallowed, and black holes would pull everything into their own black holes. The black hole in front of him was just pure black, just like a black ink stain on a white piece of clothing. Apart from that, there was nothing abnormal, not to mention the swallowing power.

The princess looked at the black hole with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. She swung the golden scissors casually and they appeared out of thin air in Zhang Chen's hand. Then she glanced at Zhang Chen from a distance, showed him a charming smile, and walked directly into the black hole without hesitation.

"The Emperor's daughter has ascended! Her physical body has entered the spiritual world!" The voice of the Great Freedom Demon beside him was shaking, his body was trembling, and he spoke in trembling voices.

"The emperor's daughter's physical body has ascended to heaven. Why are you so excited?" Zhang Chen looked at the other party unhappily.

Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon smiled awkwardly and said nothing. He just looked towards the black hole with a gleam in his eyes.

Zhang Chen lowered his head to check the golden scissors, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate. He saw that the golden scissors that had been repaired before had cracks. Not only did the cracks reappear, but there were more and more fine cracks, which made people have no doubt that the golden scissors would break at any time.

"Oh, my golden scissors!" Zhang Chen cried out in grief, and quickly put the golden scissors into his magic power to nourish them, with a look of heartache in his eyes.

"How confident do you think the princess is of success?" Zhang Chen withdrew his gaze from the grief of the golden shears and turned to look at the Great Freedom Demon.

"Based on Nani's strength, there shouldn't be any problem with a 70% to 80% chance of success, right?" Maha Freedom Heavenly Demon said hesitantly.

"Too low." Zhang Chen was a little worried. This was his niece. Maybe she would be his strong partner in the future. What if something happened? How would he explain it to her father?

The corner of the Great Freedom Demon's mouth twitched, and he wished he could slap Zhang Chen directly. A 70% to 80% chance of success is still too low?

If an ordinary strong person can have half confidence, can he already ascend to heaven?

That is the barrier between two worlds!
Does this idiot have any idea about crossing the barrier between two worlds?
"What should we do now?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Wait!" said the Great Freedom Demon.

"Waiting?" Zhang Chen didn't understand what he meant.

The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "If the little girl succeeds in ascending, she will leave behind a pierced passage, which can last for at least a year. If you are lucky and enter the first level of the spiritual world, you can dig up supreme fortune. For example, if you want the Buzhou Mountain Stone, if you bring it back from the spiritual world, the energy required is enormous. Even if you swallow the entire Huang Tian Dao, you will not have any chance. But if you enter the spiritual world with your physical body and dig out the Buzhou Mountain Stone in the spiritual world, the situation will be different."

"Is there such a saying?" Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about it, tapping his arm unconsciously. "How long will it take? Can everyone get in?"

“Of course everyone can go in, but after entering everyone will be transformed into ordinary people and will not be able to use any abilities. Whether you can walk out alive depends entirely on luck.” The Great Freedom Demon said with a smile.

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this, it was really terrifying. No one knew better than him how dangerous the spiritual world was. If ordinary people entered it, there was only one way to go, death.

"You're overthinking it, kid. There are too many people in this world who want to take a chance. That's the spiritual world. Even if you only bring out a blade of grass, it will have incredible power when you return to the real world. There is never a shortage of people who want to take a chance in this world!" The Great Freedom Demon sighed beside him.
