I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 331 Devouring the Unpredictable Spirit
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Demon turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen with a strange look in his eyes. He looked Zhang Chen up and down as if he was looking at a monster.

"What's wrong? Did I guess right?" Zhang Chen was also shocked by the expression of the Great Freedom Demon. He felt a little doubtful in his heart. Did he really guess right?

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon shook his head: "I am wondering why you know the word Pangu."

"Don't worry about how I know this, just tell me if my guess is true." Zhang Chen had guessed this since he first obtained the Shangqing Talisman, but he had no more clues to prove it. Later, when he heard the names of Jiuzhuan Xuangong and Buzhou Mountain, Zhang Chen became suspicious, but he had no more clues to prove it, because he had not found any evidence related to Honghuang.

When they arrived at the foot of Mount Buzhou, he just asked a question, but the reaction of the Great Freedom Demon was beyond Zhang Chen's expectations. Could it be that his guess came true?
Zhang Chen began to get excited. If he really came to the prehistoric world, how incredible would that be? Wouldn't he have the upper hand?
The Great Freedom Demon did not answer Zhang Chen's words, but said: "Do you know what the word Pangu represents?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen looked towards the Great Freedom Demon, wondering what the other party meant by this question. Since the other party had asked it, it must not be as simple as 'creating the world and transforming into all things'.

Just as Zhang Chen was thinking about how to answer, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said, "Pan is like a jade plate, round and full, without any flaws. So the word 'Pan' represents perfection. 'Gu' means the past and the present, representing the long river of time that runs through the past and the future, representing the vastness of time. So the two words 'Pan Gu' together represent perfection."

"In the past, there was an almighty demon god who had entered an inexplicable realm. His practice was flawless and there was no further progress. He could penetrate the long river of future time and space, control the birth and death of the universe, open up the world, create all living things, and gather all the destiny. He was the ultimate evolution of Tao. Later generations did not know his name, so they called him Pangu. The realm of great perfection was also named after Pangu."

“I see.” Zhang Chen’s heart was filled with a huge wave of emotion when he heard this: “So the Buzhou Mountain in front of us…?”

"That's right, it evolved from the spine of Pangu. The bases of the mountains and rivers we see now evolved from his pelvis, and the top spine has been broken." said the Great Freedom Demon.

After hearing what the other party said, Zhang Chen fell silent. The Great Freedom Demon mentioned Pangu, but he could not judge whether this was the Pangu he knew.

"It shouldn't be the ancient times, right? If it really is the ancient times, how could the traces of the saints be erased? I've never heard of anyone enshrining the Three Pure Ones in this world?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.

Moreover, he was very sure that in the ancient mythology, there would never be an emperor's daughter, nor would there be an era of emperors, nor would there be an emperor who would kill all the gods and demons and create a great era for mankind.

Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not possess such power.

If you really were in the prehistoric time, would you dare to slaughter gods and demons wantonly? Have you asked the Lord of Heaven? Have you asked the six saints? Have you asked the ancestor Hongjun?

"It's a bit specious." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

“You haven’t told me how you know Pangu’s realm.” The Great Freedom Demon asked meaningfully. He suspected that Zhang Chen next to him was an old acquaintance from the past, otherwise how could he have such powerful strength?

Zhang Chen did not answer the words of Mahabrahma Demon. He wanted to remain aloof and mysterious in front of Mahabrahma Demon to prevent this old guy from taking advantage of him.

"Climbing mountains!" Zhang Chen just replied and started climbing among the mountains.

When the Great Freedom Demon saw Zhang Chen like this, he could only follow behind angrily.

The entire Buzhou Mountain was shrouded in a layer of mysterious rhythm, which turned into a powerful pressure, and even caused Zhang Chen's magic power to stop flowing. He could only rely on his flexible body to continue climbing among the mountains.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen's body had undergone several transformations, and his steps were light and swift, constantly leaping across the mountains, and the towering mountains could not stop him.

Zhang Chen has unlimited physical strength, and his crystal core is of unknown species. Even when facing the pressure of divine charm, it can still provide him with a constant supply of essence and blood to restore his physical strength.

As the two climbed, Zhang Chen's mind began to work again. He looked at the towering mountains with his eyes, and thoughts flashed in his mind:

"This Buzhou Mountain is full of divine charm. It should be considered mysterious, right? I wonder if I can pick up any skills on Buzhou Mountain."

He had a faint sense of anticipation in his heart. This was the mysterious Buzhou Mountain. Even if the most useless skills were dropped, it would still be a great help to him.

It's just that Zhang Chen couldn't figure out the pattern regarding the skill drops. Logically speaking, since he had dealt with the Basah before, the Basah Snake was quite strange and should have dropped some skills to him. But who knew that the Basah Snake didn't drop even a single hair?

So Zhang Chen was full of doubts at this time: What was the basis for the drop of his own skills?
"Isn't the Basilisk considered mysterious?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.

The Nappa snake can be considered an innate creature. When I fought against the innate mosquitoes in the underworld, didn’t the innate mosquitoes also drop skills?
"Does it mean that for that kind of life-like mystery, I need to damage it before the skills will be dropped?" Zhang Chen thought of a seemingly plausible trick.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, but he couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, facing the majestic Buzhou Mountain, Zhang Chen's heart was surging. He wanted skills so much! If this towering Buzhou Mountain could drop skills for him, he would be so awesome.

The two of them traveled through the mountains along the way, and after three days, they finally arrived at a basin.

The basin is very large, about seventy or eighty miles in size, larger than the diameter of an ordinary third-tier city.

There is a big pit at the bottom of the basin, but the pit is not very deep, only one thousand meters.

Zhang Chen climbed down the cliffs of the mountain flexibly and finally came to the center of the basin. He then stood on a big tree and turned to look at the Great Freedom Demon beside him: "Where is the Pangu Jade Bone you mentioned?"

"It is a thousand feet underground. You only need to use the penetration technique and penetrate along the stone to see the chalcedony. This chalcedony is the essence of Pangu's pelvis. Although it does not have 24 vertebrae and does not have the mystery of 24 vertebrae, it is stronger than the spine in terms of hardness. You must know that all living beings in the world exert their strength from the hip bones. The hip bones are the key and the source of all strength. It has to bear the weight of 33 vertebrae and is the foundation of everything, the cornerstone of everything!" The Great Freedom Demon said with a scorching gaze: "In the past, when Mount Buzhou collapsed, there was once a person with great supernatural powers who wanted to enter Mount Buzhou to dig out the jade bone. However, who knew that the divine power on the jade bone was still strong, and the flow of Tao rhyme destroyed all things. Even the supreme existence could not get close to the jade bone. So the jade bone has been preserved until now. With the disappearance of the spirituality in the great catastrophe of the Dharma Ending Age, the divine power on the jade bone has dissipated, and it has become a good thing for you. If you can use this bone to practice the mountain-moving method, you will definitely be invincible in the future." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Demon after hearing this, and said helplessly: "Old Deng, did you underestimate my strength? That divine might has dissipated for you, but it is still a huge monster to me."

Zhang Chen felt bitter, but he didn't say it. Standing on the ruins of Buzhou Mountain, he only had one skill left, Devouring, besides the crystal core that could provide him with blood essence. He couldn't use any other magical powers.

However, Zhang Chen had to admit the tenacity of his devouring skill at this moment. Even in the face of pressure from the void, he could still activate it.

Just when Zhang Chen was figuring out what was going on, the Great Freedom Demon looked him up and down with a look of suspicion:

"No way? Aren't you a very powerful person? Can't you handle this mere pressure from the divine charm?"

The Great Freedom Demon couldn't believe it: "It's already this time, you kid should stop hiding your abilities."

Zhang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to the Great Freedom Demon, and instead activated his devouring skill. He looked towards the void in front of him, and sure enough, he saw a faint golden aura filling the void.

The golden energy was like mist, with mysterious runes in it. The runes kept changing, sometimes dispersing and turning into golden mist, and sometimes the mist gathered and turned into runes. In this way, countless runes separated and combined, forming an inexplicable force that spread in the air.

Zhang Chen, who was standing by, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene: "My Devouring Skill is truly incredible. It can even do this?"

“If I devour all the divine power in the air, won’t I be able to display my magical powers then?” Zhang Chen felt a little expectant.

If the divine power was at its peak, he would certainly not be able to devour it all. But now that the Great Freedom Demon said that the divine power was about to dissipate, there should not be much left. He still has plenty of time, as the space channel will not be closed for several months, so he may as well give it a try.

If it works, I can dig out the core of Buzhou Mountain, and then I will have all the materials for the Mountain Moving Technique in place. If it doesn't work, at worst I can just pick up a piece of Buzhou Mountain's rock and leave!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen slowly stretched out his left hand, and the next moment the innate mosquito's mouthparts slowly came out to detect it, aimed at the divine power in the air, and swallowed a big mouthful.

A mouthful of divine power entered his stomach, and the points turned into essence, infused into Zhang Chen's body. This time Zhang Chen did not convert it into points, but chose to convert it into roots. Only when the roots are improved can his cultivation improve in the future.

Besides, he doesn't have any main attack skills now, all of them are auxiliary skills. Even if the level is improved, what's the use? Instead, it is better to improve his own foundation. Only when the foundation is strong can it be a good thing that can last for a long time.

The improvement of the foundation can be directly reflected, such as comprehension and cultivation speed.

As long as his foundation is improved, he can even comprehend his own skills directly. He does not have to rely on skill points to improve, but instead relies on his own perception to comprehend the skills just like comprehending supernatural powers.

Zhang Chen is a smart man. He knows that as he progresses in his practice, he will acquire more and more skills and the points he will need will become more and more. However, the source of points depends entirely on luck, and Zhang Chen is a person who is never willing to put all his hopes on luck.

The golden finger came inexplicably, and although it was very useful, Zhang Chen did not feel that the golden finger was his. Only his roots were his.

Apart from anything else, if one can transform oneself into the foundation of an innate creature, then it will be easy for one to practice magical powers and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

Seeing Zhang Chen devouring the divine power between heaven and earth, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon standing beside him was dumbfounded. He stared at Zhang Chen's actions with shock in his eyes: "Good fellow! What a good fellow! If that innate mosquito had your courage, he would have escaped the calamity long ago!"

The divine power was like mist, constantly spreading in the air, and Zhang Chen was constantly devouring it. However, it was just as the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said, there was not much divine power left. In just half a day, the supply was already insufficient to meet the demand. After another two days, a gap had been devoured by Zhang Chen in the divine power flowing in the basin. With Zhang Chen as the center, all the divine power in the air within a hundred miles was completely devoured by Zhang Chen. Although there was divine power flowing and spreading in the distance, the speed at which it flowed was extremely slow, three points slower than the clouds flowing in the mountains.

With the transformation of his roots and the continuous strengthening of his foundation, Zhang Chen now felt his mind clear. He looked up at the sky. There seemed to be an inexplicable charm flickering in the sky. The feeling was ambiguous, and he seemed to have some realization in the dark, but it was like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. Everything turned into smoke and dissipated.

Zhang Chen was not in a hurry when he saw this. He knew that his foundation had not yet completed the transformation. Once he succeeded in the transformation, all the miraculous principles in the world would be within his reach.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen retracted his magical powers and directly used the infiltration technique to infiltrate all the way underground.

There was no divine power in the stone, which saved Zhang Chen from a lot of trouble.

Even in the process of shuttling, Zhang Chen has already noticed the difference in the stones. How to describe that feeling? The stones of Buzhou Mountain are very good, but that's all. They are stained with jade luster, a little better than the stones outside, but only a little better.

“I don’t know how many billions of years have passed, and everything has been washed away by rain and wind. The divine power in this stone has dissipated.” The Great Freedom Demon followed the water flow transformed by Zhang Chen and sighed softly.

"The divine power in the stone has dissipated. Where does the divine power in the air outside come from?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"It escaped from the entire framework of Mount Buzhou." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about what he heard and continued to infiltrate downwards silently.
