Chapter 367 The Second Heaven of the Spiritual World
Looking at the worried Chen Xu, Zhang Chen could tell that Chen Xu was really scared.

"Don't be afraid, rest assured. I know the foundation of the rise of Pingbian Palace, and I also know why the luck of Pingbian Palace suddenly soared. All the calculations of Pingbian Palace are under my control. I will kill the luck of Pingbian Palace for you to see, so that you can experience my methods. If Pingbian Palace wants to rise, it has to ask me if I agree!" Zhang Chen's voice was domineering and confident: "The stronger the opponent, the more interesting the game will be. Don't be afraid, everything is under control! You just need to follow my orders. In this game, you have half of the great fortune."

Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen doubtfully after hearing what he said. It was not that he did not believe what Zhang Chen said, but Zhang Chen's power was like an egg hitting a rock compared to that of the Pingbian Palace. The gap between the two sides was too big, and there was no hope for Zhang Chen to win.

He had long known about Zhang Chen's background, and even Zhang Chen's life trajectory was like a flower in the palm of his hand to him. So the more he knew about Zhang Chen, the less hope he saw of winning.

The only thing he didn't understand was how Zhang Chen got such incredible means. This was the biggest mystery. No matter how he analyzed Zhang Chen's growth trajectory, he couldn't figure out how Zhang Chen got such means.

However, since Zhang Chen had already made the promise, he had no way to veto it. He thought that he should deal with it first and hide in the dark to see how the situation would develop. If Zhang Chen gained the upper hand, he would lend a helping hand to Zhang Chen. If Zhang Chen was crushed by the Pingbian Palace, he would withdraw and take the opportunity to escape.

He now has acquired many means, and he thinks that if he hides in the dark and wants to escape, it will not be easy for the Pingbian Palace to catch him.

Seeing Zhang Chen's solemn promise, Chen Xu could only nod and agree, which was considered as agreeing with Zhang Chen's words: "But let me be frank. If you can't fight against the Pingbian Palace and are crushed by the Pingbian Palace, don't blame me for running away."

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this. He didn't dislike people who said all the ugly things up front. After all, this kind of people was better than those who ran away silently at the critical moment.

"If you see that things are not going well, just run away. I won't blame you." Zhang Chen patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and said, "I will tell you something now. You do it quietly. After you finish this thing, even if you run away directly, I won't blame you."

"What's the matter?" Chen Xu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Zhang Chen's words. He was afraid that Zhang Chen was so confident that he would not only commit suicide but also drag him to hell.

"Just send a message to the heroes in the north, telling them that Zhang Shicheng, the ancestor of the Pingbian Palace, wants to transform into a dragon." Zhang Chen said.

Chen Xu took a deep breath when he heard this, and felt a chill rushing from his heels to his head: "Is this true? Are you making up a rumor, or is this really true?"

Zhang Chen pointed in the direction of King Pingbian's ancestral vein and said, "Zhang Shicheng's soul is hiding in the ancestral vein, collecting incense and faith from the north, preparing to transform into a dragon."

Chen Xu looked horrified: "No wonder the Pingbian Palace has such good fortune. Once Zhang Shicheng turns into a dragon, he must be at least a tenth-level existence, right? No wonder his ancestral grave is emitting green smoke."

Then Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Let's run! Once Zhang Shicheng turns into a dragon, we will be finished!"

Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Xu and sneered, "You have no ambition. Have you ever thought about slaying a dragon? Once you slay the dragon, you will gain its spirit and all kinds of luck. Wouldn't it be a huge profit for you and me? By then, our strength will be improved to an incredible level."

Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen with resentment on his face: "Brother, do you think we can slay the dragon with just the two of us?"

"Of course we can't slay the dragon by ourselves, but if the news gets out, many people from all the major forces in the world will be interested. If you want to transform from a dragon into a dragon, you must go through a catastrophe, and then it will be our time to take action." Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Just do it, and you will get benefits."

Chen Xu sighed quietly upon hearing this. Now that he was on Zhang Chen's pirate ship, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu's departing back, shook his head secretly, turned around and walked into the house. He spread the news that Pingbian King Zhang Shicheng had transformed from a dragon into a dragon, not only to slay the dragon, but also to distract the attention of Pingbian Palace and give himself a greater chance of seizing the Ascension Pool.

There are definitely many people in this world who want to seize the fortune of the Dragon God. Not to mention the major families, even the imperial court will not remain indifferent.

"I wonder if the chief eunuch of the inner court has recovered from his injuries now." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Zhang Chen returned to his house. He had not slept the whole night and was about to take a nap, but Zhang Chen thought of the visualization method that he had not practiced for a long time. Now that the first level of the spiritual world was destroyed, it was time for him to explore the second level.

It would also be a good opportunity to see how the princess is doing in the second heaven and whether she has found any good fortune left for her.

Ever since he discovered that those old guys like the innate mosquitoes could interfere with his mind, Zhang Chen hasn't been able to enter a state of meditation for a long time, and his spiritual cultivation has almost fallen behind.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in front of the stove, then made a seal with his hands, and directly activated the second level of visualization method. Zhang Chen fell into the endless dark void in the darkness.

Just as Zhang Chen was practicing the visualization method and was about to enter the second level of the spiritual world, the vast energy of the Ascension Pool in his fate suddenly surged down, breaking away from the constraints of the marriage line and the control of the goddess, and poured into Zhang Chen's soul and disappeared into Zhang Chen's soul.

At this moment, Zhang Chen's soul was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up the surging energy. The ascension pool buried in the ancestral vein seemed to sense something, and now it emitted colorful rays of light. The colorful rays of light turned into substance, irrigated along the Feng Shui formation, and directly sank into Zhang Chen's soul.

At this time, the goddess in the Dinghai Divine Pearl was stunned. She stared blankly at the changes in Zhang Chen's soul, her eyes full of disbelief: "The soul is still there, but the consciousness is gone? How is it possible! His fate and consciousness disappeared out of thin air? And what happened? This energy is out of my control?"

The goddess stood blankly in the Dinghai Divine Pearl, sensing Zhang Chen's mental changes, her eyes full of horror.

Moreover, she discovered that the surging energy from the Ascension Pool had increased by more than a hundred times, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths, as if the Ascension Pool had actively infused energy into Zhang Chen. The Feng Shui formation had gone out of control and was being controlled by the Ascension Pool, becoming a tool for the Ascension Pool to transmit energy.

Zhang Chen had no idea how shocked the goddess was. At this moment, Zhang Chen's consciousness changed and he walked in endless darkness, as if he had fallen into a state of emptiness for the first time.

In the endless darkness, there was a bright light, flickering like a firefly. If the void was not so dark, Zhang Chen would have been hard-pressed to find the light in the darkness. "Could that be the barrier of the second heaven of the spiritual world?" Zhang Chen stood in the endless darkness, looking at the light in the darkness thoughtfully.

Then Zhang Chen took a step and walked towards the light in the darkness. He had experience with this kind of thing. It was the same process when he first entered the spiritual world.

But now Zhang Chen is countless times stronger than before, and his eyesight and knowledge are also countless times stronger. He is seen walking slowly in the darkness, but this time Zhang Chen's walking is different from the last time. This time Zhang Chen does not feel tired at all, as if a vast power from nothingness is poured into his body, constantly nourishing and filling the essence of his soul.

Zhang Chen walked in the darkness for countless years. He didn't know how long he had been walking. The light was getting closer and closer. Finally, Zhang Chen stopped. The light in front of him had turned into a magnificent curtain, blocking Zhang Chen's sight.

The screen in front of me was silver-white with mysterious runes flowing on it. Countless runes formed chains of order that were wandering and interweaving, which looked very extraordinary.

"World barrier?" Zhang Chen looked at the light screen in front of him with a thoughtful look.

However, Zhang Chen now is different from before. Facing the light curtain, he naturally has to use different methods.

Looking at the silver light screen in front of him, Zhang Chen said with a smile: "This time I will not follow the rules and go in step by step."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen stretched out his hand, and golden scissors appeared in his hand. With the rest in recent days and the nourishment of the black and white brush, the wounds on the golden scissors were repaired a lot.

"I wonder if my golden scissors can cut the chains of order in front of me." Zhang Chen held the golden scissors in one hand and encouraged himself: "It should be no problem. After all, the princess also relied on the golden scissors to blast open the barrier between the material world and the spiritual world. You know, the barrier between the spiritual world is at least dozens of times weaker than the barrier between the material world and the spiritual world."

As Zhang Chen finished speaking, five hundred years of magic power in his body suddenly poured into the golden scissors. The golden scissors in his hand turned into black and white airflow, which spun towards the world barrier in front of him. The next moment, countless chains of order broke, and a hole was cut in the world barrier by the golden scissors.

Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he saw this: "The Golden Scissors are indeed a supreme artifact. I was not disappointed!"

However, the countless chains of order were constantly repairing themselves, and the hole was resisting the tearing of the yin and yang energies transformed by the golden scissors. Zhang Chen thought about it and rushed towards the hole quickly.

Just as Zhang Chen rushed into the opening and entered the world on the other side, he heard the sound of thunder. Billions of purple lightning bolts came towards Zhang Chen like an overwhelming force. What Zhang Chen saw was an endless sea of ​​thunder.

"Fuck! I have violated the laws of heaven! What sin or evil have I committed that they use such purple lightning to bombard me." Zhang Chen couldn't help but curse at this time.

The purple lightning was so powerful that Zhang Chen's soul trembled under it. He had a premonition that if he was hit by one of the lightning bolts, his soul would be shattered. There would be no other result.

At this moment, even if Zhang Chen had countless means, facing the purple sea of ​​thunder, he couldn't help but be eclipsed. An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. The surging thunder in front of him was simply not something he could resist.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was about to be destroyed in the lightning, the golden scissors sensed Zhang Chen's danger and turned into black and white light to wrap around Zhang Chen's soul and actively recognized it as its master.

Then the golden scissors, carrying Zhang Chen's soul, rushed towards the purple sea of ​​thunder. The next moment, overwhelming lightning struck, and the black and white air currents kept shuttling through the lightning, strangling the purple lightning in the sky.

However, the level of the lightning was too high. Even its breath had already captured Zhang Chen's soul, making it unable to move. Facing the lightning of unknown level, even the black and white airflow transformed by the golden scissors was being consumed rapidly at this time.

"Take me back quickly! I want to go back!" Zhang Chen kept conveying his will to the golden scissors. However, after the golden scissors flew for a distance in the direction they came from, he saw that the whole direction was filled with purple thunder sea. Where was the shadow of the world barrier?
It was as if the world barrier that Zhang Chen had broken through before had never been encountered before.

Seeing that he couldn't find the way back, Zhang Chen didn't bother to think about the reason and could only control the golden scissors to rush towards the outer edge of the thunder sea.

"Hurry! Charge! Charge! Charge out of the sea of ​​thunder and we will have new hope!" Zhang Chen saw the black and white air currents constantly struggling in the sea of ​​thunder. His heart was agitated and his eyes were filled with tension.

Either he breaks out of the sea of ​​thunder or is annihilated by it.

At the same time, Zhang Chen was also cursing: "Damn it, what crime have I committed to make me suffer such a terrifying thunder? Why is it that nothing good happens every time I come to the spiritual world? The great formation in the first level of the spiritual world was fine before, but now I have come to the second level and suffered even more terrifying thunder?"

Zhang Chen didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the aura emitted by the purple lightning was even more terrifying than the aura of the imperial daughter, and it was even more terrifying.

"It's worthy of being a spiritual world, it's so dangerous!" Zhang Chen muttered in his heart, thoughts flashing rapidly in his mind, thinking about ways to break the impasse.

“The stone of Buzhou Mountain has divine power and can suppress everything. I wonder if it can suppress the thunder and lightning between heaven and earth.” Zhang Chen thought to himself and was about to summon out his own Buzhou Seal. However, when he tried to feel the Buzhou Seal, he found that his own Buzhou Seal had lost its sensitivity and disappeared from his soul.

"Damn it, how come my Buzhou Seal disappeared?" Zhang Chen couldn't help but curse. This was really a case of adding insult to injury. All bad things happened at the same time.

"Damn it! Damn it! It's such a sin!" The black and white light transformed by Zhang Chen shuttled through the thunderclouds, but the endless lightning seemed to have no end. The light on the golden scissors became dimmer and dimmer, and the airflow became smaller and smaller, from dozens of feet to a few feet in size. Not only did its shape shrink, but the flying speed of the golden scissors was also constantly decreasing.
