Chapter 362 The opportunity to become an immortal

Zhang Chen opened his Dharma Eyes, but did not sense the energy of the Feng Shui formation in the dark. It was as if the entire Taoist temple was just an ordinary Taoist temple. Only the faint mysterious energy flowing in the void told of the unusualness of the Taoist temple before him.

"Why did the magnificent vision in the back mountain suddenly disappear? How did the Pingbian Palace suppress the vision?" There was a hint of curiosity in Zhang Chen's eyes.

When there is something undecided, ask quantum mechanics... No, you should ask the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen directly summoned out the Great Freedom Demon, and saw the Great Freedom Demon appear in the void. Compared with the previous appearance in the spiritual world, the Great Freedom Demon's body at this time was almost condensed into a physical entity, and looked like a real person, standing beside Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen could see that after this bastard absorbed the essence that was suppressed from under Mount Buzhou, its strength increased greatly and reached a new level.

"Why did you ask me to come out?" The Great Freedom Demon said slowly.

Zhang Chen pointed to the courtyard and said, "Take a look at this Taoist temple. Is there anything unusual?"

The Great Freedom Demon shook his head: "I don't understand the Feng Shui formation, but I vaguely feel that the whole Taoist temple has an inexplicable energy field."

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing this, and stopped worrying about the Feng Shui formation. Instead, he pointed to the back mountain and said, "There is a mystery in the back mountain. Do you know its origin?"

"Mysterious?" The Great Freedom Demon raised his head and looked towards the back mountain. He did not notice anything unusual, but after interacting with Zhang Chen for some time, he knew that Zhang Chen was definitely not someone who would let go without reason, so he said, "Wait here for me. I'll go check it out."

The Great Freedom Demon went away, leaving Zhang Chen sitting under the shade of a tree in the Taoist temple, waiting for the Great Freedom Demon to return.

Zhang Chen didn't have to wait long before he saw the Great Freedom Demon coming from the void. He looked at Zhang Chen with a strange expression, "Boy, you are so lucky."

After hearing what the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said, Zhang Chen immediately knew that the thing in the Pingbian King's ancestral vein was very unusual, so he asked, "What kind of treasure is it that is worthy of your saying it is unusual?"

The vision of the Great Freedom Demon is too high. If something is called not simple by the other party, it must be very simple.

"Ascension Pool!" said the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

“What is that?” It was not the first time that Zhang Chen heard the word “Ascension Pool” from the Great Freedom Demon.

"I can't remember! In my memory, the Ascension Pool contains incredible fortunes. If a mortal body falls into it, it will transform its essence and purify the turbid air. I don't have any impression of anything else. But I have an intuition that tells me that the Ascension Pool is very important!" The Great Freedom Demon's eyes were scorching, and his voice was full of solemnity:

"Boy, if you want to achieve something in the future, you must get the Ascension Pool. In my hazy memory, if you want to transform from the tenth level to the eleventh level, you must have the help of the Ascension Pool."

Zhang Chen took a deep breath when he heard this. He immediately understood what the Great Freedom Demon said, so he must do everything he can to get this Ascension Pool.

“However, the Ascension Pool has its own innate formation. Even I cannot get close to it. If you want to take over the Ascension Pool, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven.” The Great Freedom Demon added.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Demon. The other party only said that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven, but did not say that it could not be taken.

"Tell me a way to collect it." Zhang Chen asked.

"Nowadays, there is a lack of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. All mysteries that fall into the material world will have their energy released between heaven and earth until it reaches a balance point. What you have to do now is to wait for the energy in the ascension pool to be released, until the spiritual energy in its body and the spiritual energy between the outside world reach a balance, and it has been weakened to the limit. That time is the best time for you to take action." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"I saw that the Ascension Pool was magnificent before, how come it suddenly disappeared? What means did the Pingbian Palace use to cover up that aura?" Zhang Chen asked.

The Great Freedom Demon said: "Isn't there a little loach in this earth vein that wants to transform into a dragon? That loach draws the power of the earth vein, draws the energy released from the Ascension Pool into the earth vein, and then with the help of the Feng Shui formation, all the energy is absorbed by the dragon vein, and of course the outside world no longer notices it. However, this dragon vein will definitely evolve to an incredible level after receiving the energy released from the Ascension Pool, and it can even ascend to heaven in one step and mutate directly into a twelfth-level existence."

Zhang Chen took a deep breath when he heard this. A twelfth-level existence?

If Zhang Shicheng transforms into a twelfth-level being, will he be able to survive?

Hearing the words of Great Freedom Heavenly Demon at this time, he understood. It turned out that it was the power released from the Ascension Pool that was controlled by the Feng Shui formation of the Pingbian Palace, which nourished the dragon veins. Then, Pingbian King Zhang Shicheng absorbed the power of the dragon veins, which was equivalent to directly absorbing the fortune of the Ascension Pool. At that time, there would definitely be an incredible transformation.

"The Pingbian Palace has great tactics." Zhang Chen was somewhat emotional. The Pingbian Palace was indeed the overlord of the North. Its tactics were beyond imagination.

"The luck of the Pingbian Palace is like oil boiling on a raging fire. Now is its heyday. Especially since the old loach is going to transform into a dragon, it will further boost the luck of the Pingbian Palace. If there had not been a severe drought in the north, which caused the people to be displaced and live in misery, and damaged the luck of the palace, I am afraid the luck of the palace would have at least doubled. And when luck is strong, there will naturally be favor from the unknown, and all kinds of good fortune will come to the door. And when opportunities come, the foundation will be increased. With such a virtuous cycle, the luck of the Pingbian Palace will one day be able to dominate the world." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was full of emotion.

"Determine Chen Xu's location for me." After pondering for a moment, Zhang Chen decided to contact Chen Xu and ask him to come and see what arrangements the Pingbian Palace had made in the Taoist temple. The more he understood the Pingbian Palace, the more he felt that its strength should not be underestimated.

He certainly has the capital to be arrogant, but he will never act rashly.

The Great Freedom Demon had already planted a seed in Chen Xu's heart. After hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Demon sensed it and pointed to the southwest: "That kid is hiding in a cave seventy miles away. I don't know what he is busy with."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen turned into a drop of water and seeped into the soil. After a dozen breaths, he appeared outside the Taoist temple. Then he turned into a vampire bat, flapped his wings, hovered in the void, and looking down, he saw three thousand soldiers on the ground, who were now in high spirits and surrounded the Taoist temple from all sides to prevent Zhang Chen from escaping.

"The Pingbian Palace has really gone to great lengths to plot against me." Zhang Chen smiled coldly in the air and then disappeared into the jungle. When Zhang Chen found Chen Xu, he saw Chen Xu sitting in the valley, holding a compass in his hand, mumbling something.

"Brother Chen, what are you calculating?" Zhang Chen asked.

Zhang Chen walked silently. After hearing Zhang Chen's voice, Chen Xu was so frightened that he almost jumped up and almost dropped the compass in his hand.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you walking so quietly? If you scare people, it can be fatal." Chen Xu complained, his voice full of horror.

"If you have done nothing wrong, why would you be afraid of others?" Zhang Chen squatted down, picked up the compass, and put it in Chen Xu's hand: "What are you planning?"

"There's something wrong with King Pingbian's ancestral tomb! It seems... it seems... it seems to be covered by a layer of fog. I can't figure it out clearly." Chen Xu said as he carefully wiped the compass.

Of course Zhang Chen knew that something was wrong with King Pingbian’s ancestral tomb, because a shocking change was happening in King Pingbian’s ancestral lineage.

"What did you figure out?" Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu with interest.

"I calculated the chance of becoming an immortal based on the fate of the Pingbian Palace. Now I am beginning to doubt my life. How could there really be immortals in this world? Could it be that there is something wrong with my brain recently that I could have calculated such an outrageous result?" Chen Xu fiddled with the compass in his hand, complaining dissatisfiedly.

However, when Chen Xu was complaining, the joking expression on Zhang Chen's face disappeared, and his eyes suddenly became serious. Thinking of the Ascension Pool mentioned by the Great Freedom Demon, and then thinking of the opportunity to become an immortal mentioned by Chen Xu, and then thinking of his own practice of Qi cultivation, and then thinking of the name of the Ascension Pool, Zhang Chen's mind suddenly moved: "Ascension Pool Ascension Pool, does it mean that after practicing Qi and becoming an immortal, one must cleanse the body in the Ascension Pool and transform into an immortal body?"

Zhang Chen's thoughts flowed here, and he came up with more speculations and puzzles: "If the Ascension Pool is really as I imagined, then what exactly does the thirty-three spiritual worlds represent? Is the thirty-three heavens really the legendary fairyland? Otherwise, how could there be such incredible legends and existences as Yaochi Liquan, Pantao, and Jiuzhuan Jindan?"

Zhang Chen's eyes were full of confusion: "Could it be that the so-called thirty-three spiritual worlds are really the legendary fairyland?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen suddenly became excited. If that was the case, he had to go to the Second Heaven. He even had to go to the legendary Thirty-Three Heavens. If the Thirty-Three Spiritual Worlds were really the legendary Immortal Realm, and his soul could reach there directly, wouldn't he be making a fortune?

Zhang Chen's heart was pounding, and he made up his mind: "After I go back, I will explore the Second Heaven to see what the difference is between the Second Heaven and the First Heaven, and see if I can find any clues about the 'immortal'."

Just as Zhang Chen was daydreaming, Chen Xu turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen: "Your heartbeat is disordered. Why is it beating so fast all of a sudden? Are you excited after hearing the news of becoming an immortal?"

Chen Xu's eyes were full of strangeness: "Don't get excited. We are now considered people in the mysterious world. Immortality has been a fantasy since ancient times. The result I calculated is just a mistake. There must be a problem somewhere, which is why I have been making mistakes in my calculations."

Zhang Chen ignored Chen Xu's attack and said calmly: "Becoming immortal may not be a lie, otherwise how could there be ancient gods and demons? How could there be such a yang god-level existence that can destroy the world? For those ordinary people, isn't it incredible that we have mastered mysterious abilities?"

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Chen Xu scratched his head: "Are you serious?"

Zhang Chen smiled without saying anything, just looking at Chen Xu. Then he saw Chen Xu's expression gradually become serious, and he lowered his head and looked at the compass in his hand without saying a word.

"Tell me about the chance of becoming an immortal." Zhang Chen said.

Chen Xu fiddled with the compass for a while, and after a brief deduction, he said, "I don't know the rest. I only know that in three months, there will be a chance for the immortal to appear, and the location is the ancestral tomb of the Pingbian Palace. I can't guess the rest of the clues."

"Three months later?" Zhang Chen thought, "Could it be that something big will happen in the Pingbian Palace in three months?"

"For the Pingbian Palace, the biggest event is Zhang Shicheng's transformation into a dragon. Does that mean Zhang Shicheng will transform from a dragon in three months?" Zhang Chen's mind moved: "Three months later it should be spring, right? Spring thunder will sound and everything will revive. When the dragon raises its head on February 2, wouldn't that be the best time for him to transform from a dragon?"

Zhang Chen's mind was constantly turning, frantically deducing the key points. After a long time, a thought flashed in his mind: "Maybe it's true! Three months later, it will be the end of January, and it will be the season of the dragon raising its head on February 2. At that time, if Pingbian King Zhang Shicheng uses the rising of the earth veins to transform from a dragon into a dragon, the success rate will at least increase by half."

At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Three months later, Zhang Shicheng would transform from a dragon into a dragon. He had not made any arrangements yet. Would it affect his practice of the Divine Whip? Would he have successfully practiced the Divine Whip? Would it be affected in any way?
"What are you thinking about, sir?" Chen Xu asked.

"I'm thinking that what you said about the chance to become an immortal in three months might be true." Zhang Chen's words almost made Chen Xu drop his jaw in shock. Of course, Zhang Chen was not talking nonsense. If Pingbian King Zhang Shicheng really took off his dragon on February 2, he would definitely not be able to conceal the aura of the Ascension Pool, and even the large formation of the Ascension Pool would be affected. After three months of qi leakage, coupled with the influence of the earth veins, the large formation of the Ascension Pool would be directly broken.

Didn’t that bastard Great Freedom Demon say that if you could jump into the Ascension Pool to cleanse your body, there would be incredible benefits and incredible fortune?

Putting all these clues together, Zhang Chen's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

When Chen Xu heard Zhang Chen's words, he almost dropped his jaw in shock: "Sir, are you telling the truth? Is there really a chance to become an immortal in this world?"

The idea of ​​immortals has been illusory since ancient times. You should know that the major families have dug out the formulas for cultivating immortals and practicing qi from ancient books, but so what? Isn't it still impossible to practice?
"You'll know in three months." Zhang Chen replied.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu clenched his fists tightly, and a burning look flashed in his eyes. That was a chance to become an immortal!
"Let's not talk about becoming an immortal for now. I have something to ask you to do." Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu with a smile. He now felt that saving Chen Xu was the best investment.

"Please give your instructions, sir. I will do it." Chen Xu said respectfully.
