I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 386: Gathering of Immortals
As the saying goes: Secrets are the key to success. Xu Erniu was too young to control her emotions. If I told her the truth, and she was discovered by the Changsheng Patriarch, it would be a disaster.

Xu Erniu pulled Zhang Chen to the front yard, where she saw that all the disciples had already lined up, and then came to the mountain gate to prepare a welcoming gesture.

From afar, colorful lights could be seen floating in the distance, and figures surrounded by divine light were coming from the horizon. The master hurried forward to greet them.

"Who are those?" Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu were standing at the end of the line. They looked at the figures chatting and laughing with the Longevity Patriarch, and asked Xu Erniu in a low voice.

Xu Erniu shook her head, her face full of confusion, and tugged at the sleeve of a fellow disciple beside her: "Brother, do you know who those people are?"

The disciple looked straight ahead, his lips moved slightly, and his voice came quietly:
"They are Patriarch Dongxuan, the Three Overseas Immortals, Patriarch Xuanji, Fairy Dongqian, Fairy Yueguang, Monk Haichan, and Patriarch Fulu of Fulu Island. They are close friends of the master and they came here to break the formation at the invitation of the ancestor."

Zhang Chen was shocked, thinking that anyone who could call Changsheng Zedao a "friend" must be as good as Changsheng Zedao in cultivation.

The most important thing is that there are nine such strong men. Are the masters of the second level of the spiritual world really so worthless? Are they starting to appear in batches?

At this time, Zhang Chen still didn't know where he was and thought he was in the second heaven of the spiritual world.

"I'm in trouble! I only wanted to deal with the evil Immortality Sect, but I didn't expect to provoke its allies. One Immortality Ancestor already makes me extremely wary, and now there are more than a dozen similar masters..." Zhang Chen felt a little scalp-numbing.

“I wonder if these people have heard of the name of the Emperor’s daughter. The Emperor’s daughter ascended from the Second Heaven to the First Heaven. She should not be an unknown person. Logically speaking, such a strong person should have made a great reputation when she was born. If I can contact the Emperor’s daughter and ask her to kill the Immortality Thief, perhaps I can save a lot of trouble.” Zhang Chen pondered in his heart. He felt that the Immortality Thief was no match for the Emperor’s daughter. You know, the Emperor’s daughter once killed many ancient gods and countless gods died in her hands. Her strength was unparalleled. How could she take the people in front of her seriously?
These people are not even of the same level of power!
"Zhang Chen, my plan has changed. I don't want to take over the body of an ordinary disciple anymore. I want the physical body of the monk Haichan. You help me take over the physical body of the monk Haichan." At this time, the voice of the Xiantian Peacock sounded in Zhang Chen's ears.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at one of the bald, middle-aged monks dressed in Buddhist attire. He saw that the man was bare-chested and had a lot of breasts, looking a bit like Maitreya. There was a Zen air about him, and he must be a powerful man with a high level of cultivation.

"Don't you just want the body of an ordinary disciple in Wuzhuang Temple? The strength of that monk Haichan is unfathomable. You might as well kill me instead of asking me to help you take over the body of Haichan monk. How can I fight against that monk Haichan?" Zhang Chen quickly shook his head to refuse.

Are you kidding? These guys who were invited here have at least broken through the twelfth level. With my humble cultivation level, they can blow me to death in one breath.

"I know you have extraordinary means. If you can help me accomplish this, I will teach you a supreme method. Although you have obtained my five-colored divine light, you can only circulate its fundamental power and cannot bring out its subtlety. I have a method called: Five Elements Escape Method. If you can help me seize the body of Monk Haichan, I will teach you the Five Elements Escape Method." At this time, the voice of the Xiantian Peacock was full of temptation.

Zhang Chen glanced at Monk Haichan after hearing this, with a hint of greed in his eyes: "Five Elements Escape Technique? What kind of magical power is that?"

“If you can cultivate this magical power, you can enter the Five Elements at will and wander among the Five Elements. By then, there will be only a handful of places in this world that can trap you.” said the Xiantian Peacock.

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this, and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

I want to deal with the Immortal Ancestor, so the Sea Cicada Monk is also my target. If I can coax a skill from the Sea Cicada Monk when dealing with him... In addition, since it is for the Innate Peacock to deal with the Sea Cicada Monk, it is reasonable for the Innate Peacock to help me, right? Anyway, they will have to fight sooner or later, so I might as well take the opportunity to borrow the power of the Innate Peacock.

If he wanted to help the innate peacock complete the possession of the body, the only thing he could rely on right now was probably the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. He could use the formation to trap the Sea Cicada Monk, or even suppress him.

If we can trick Monk Haichan into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, it will be easy to deal with him then. But Monk Haichan is not a fool. How can we trick Monk Haichan into the formation?
To be honest, he really wanted to learn the Five Elements Escape Technique. After all, the Five Elements Escape Technique was very mysterious. If he could practice it successfully, wouldn't he be able to thrive when he returned to the material world?
However, Zhang Chen thought about it and couldn't think of a way to lure the monk Haichan into the Nine-bend Yellow River formation, so he could only pin his hopes on the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, and then asked in his heart: "Do you have a way to lure the monk Haichan into the Nine-bend Yellow River formation?"

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said, "That monk Haichan has practiced the Buddhist relic magic. Even if you can cut off his three flowers and five qi in the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, his relic is mainly made of mental power. His relic still has great power. You can't resist it. I advise you to be honest and abide by the law. Don't do anything reckless."

The Buddhist relics are spiritual products and do not involve any magical powers. Even if the magical powers are taken away, the relics still have the power to move mountains and seas.

"Can it be done?" Zhang Chen asked after hearing what Mahadeva said.

"Haha, you don't know that when it comes to playing with the spirit and the soul, I am the ancestor. That monk Haichan practiced Buddhist methods, focusing on a pure mind, but he was defeated by me. If it were the other old guys, I really couldn't exert much power, but facing the monk Haichan, I could hit him with one move. I have told you a long time ago that I have demon seeds all over the world, and now they have taken root, sprouted, blossomed and borne fruit. All the living beings in the entire Wuzhuang Temple have my clones in their hearts." The Great Freedom Demon did not say whether he could do it or not, but talked a lot and boasted about himself.

Zhang Chen smiled brightly upon hearing this, and said to himself, "Please give me a helping hand, Old Ancestor."

"Are you sure you want to attack Monk Haichan?" Maha Freedom Demon asked again.

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, and replied to the Great Freedom Demon in his heart: "That old peacock said he wanted to teach me a five-element escape technique. You know that I cannot stand temptation."

The Great Freedom Demon was speechless after hearing this, but since Zhang Chen had chosen to die, there was no reason for him to stop him: "You just need to think of a way to arouse the greed of Monk Haichan. As long as he has the slightest thought, I will definitely make his soul fall."

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing this: "This monk Haichan's mind is usually perfect, just like a thousand-year-old story, polished and perfected by it all the time. Only when he has a thought will he be taken advantage of by the devil and become a puppet of the Great Freedom Devil."

Just when Zhang Chen was thinking about how to arouse the greed of Monk Haichan, the voice of Innate Peacock sounded in Zhang Chen's mind: "Boy, are you going to do this deal or not?" "Why did you choose Monk Haichan?" Zhang Chen asked tentatively in his heart.

"Because Monk Haichan is not a human, but a transformed golden cicada. The golden cicada can transform nine times, and the process of its nine transformations is equivalent to reshaping the origin of life and gaining new life. If I take away his body and then intervene with the innate five elements, I can obtain the body of an innate peacock." Peacock did not hide it at this time. He knew Zhang Chen's ability. This kid was a little weird. If he concealed something from him and annoyed him, he would be in big trouble.

Zhang Chen said: "I can help you, but there is a problem, that is how to make the monk Haichan greedy. As long as the monk Haichan is greedy, I can lead him into the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Talisman Formation, and then use the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Talisman Formation to trap him."

As for the powerful mental power of Monk Haichan?
What's the use?
There is water from the Yellow Spring in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. If the spiritual relics of Monk Haichan enter it, they will definitely be suppressed by the power of the Yellow Spring and will be unable to do anything.

"Did it make Monk Haichan greedy? This matter is actually very simple. Among those who plotted against me in the past, there was Monk Haichan. He coveted my Five Elements Origin. If you show the Innate Five Elements Origin in front of him, he will surely be tempted." said the Innate Peacock.

Zhang Chen nodded when he heard this. Since Xiantian Peacock had a solution, he didn't need to say much. He just had to wait for the result.

The powerful men over there surrounded the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation. They looked at each other, all of them were in a state of panic. The Xuanji Patriarch said, "This formation is very vicious. Even if we accidentally enter it, I'm afraid we will be entangled in disasters. Tens of thousands of years of practice will be in vain. If we want to break this formation, we have to destroy this thousand-meter ground vein in the outside world. I don't know...?"

Ancestor Xuanji looked at Ancestor Changsheng, who shook his head and said, "No, no! This is the main vein of Qingcheng Mountain, and it is closely related to me. Once the 1,200-meter dragon vein is destroyed, the ancestral vein will be cut off, and the dragon vein energy of Qingcheng Mountain will dissipate, and my cultivation will be over. Moreover, the ground vein of Qingcheng Mountain is a dragon vein, which has the power to destroy everything. Even if we want to display our magical powers, we can't shake its essence."

With their magical powers, it would be easy for them to move mountains without the suppression of dragon veins. However, the mountains with the suppression of dragon veins have the power to destroy everything. Although the magical powers of several people are powerful, they cannot shake them.

It should be noted that the magical powers of cultivators come from the laws of heaven and earth, and the dragon veins are the representative of the laws of heaven and earth, and the incarnation of heaven and earth. Although the magical powers of several people are powerful, they are nothing in the face of the trend of heaven and earth.

If this Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation was set up in the wilderness where there were no dragon veins, it would be easily broken by those high-ranking and powerful figures. But now that it is built on a dragon vein, it will be extremely troublesome.

At this moment, everyone in the field looked at each other, and the ancestors-level beings were discussing around the formation, and they could not think of a plan to break the formation for a while.

At this time, all the disciples who had lined up to welcome him dispersed one after another. Zhang Chen also returned to the backyard and began to clean the yard. He discussed with Kong Que how to arouse the greed of the monk Hai Chan.

"In fact, the easiest way to arouse the greed of Monk Haichan is for you to steal the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. As long as you wave the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth in front of Monk Haichan, he will probably directly snatch it away." At this time, the voice of the innate peacock sounded among the five feathers.

Zhang Chen sighed softly upon hearing this: "You must be trying to trick me to death. How could I possibly steal the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror? And if I stole the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, what would happen to Xu Erniu?"

Xiantian Peacock remained silent upon hearing this, and Zhang Chen felt a little cold in his heart. This Xiantian Peacock might not care about Xu Erniu's life or death, otherwise why would he make such a suggestion?
"You don't have to think too much about what aroused Monk Haichan's desire. I have my own judgment in my mind. I already have an idea. Let's talk about the Five Elements Escape Technique now. Give me the Five Elements Escape Technique first, and then I will do it for you." Zhang Chen said.

"No, you're too cunning. What if you try to play tricks on me and I don't have any means to check you? Wouldn't I suffer a great loss?" The Innate Peacock refused to give in at this time. He had already sensed that something was wrong when the inexplicable mark mixed into his soul before. He felt that he had been tricked by Zhang Chen. Now Zhang Chen was trying to do the same thing to him, and he absolutely refused.

"If you can teach me the Five Elements Escape Technique, after I have practiced it, my ability to survive will be greatly enhanced, and it will be safer to do things for you. Why don't you know what's good for you? What if I show the treasure in front of Monk Haichan to arouse his greed, and I am accidentally killed by him, or I am caught by him? The disaster to me will be small, but your matter of taking over another's body will be delayed." Zhang Chen was eloquent at this time, constantly instigating the Innate Peacock.

Xiantian Peacock hesitated when he heard that. What Zhang Chen said was not without reason. The difference in cultivation between Zhang Chen and the monk Haichan was too great. If they made the slightest mistake, both of them would be in trouble. If Zhang Chen was caught, his true spirit would be exposed, and who knows how much trouble it would cause.

"You still need to swear an oath to me..." said the Xiantian Peacock.

Zhang Chen was secretly delighted when he heard this: "It's done!"

It's done!

Just when Zhang Chen wanted to swear, Xu Erniu came over and kicked Zhang Chen's calf: "Why are you grinning like an idiot? I just stood in the distance and called you, but you didn't respond."

Zhang Chen turned his head and glanced at Xu Erniu: "I'm thinking about something."

Xu Erniu thought Zhang Chen was worried about her inability to cultivate magic power, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, I have recently developed a magical elixir that will be refined soon. By then, I will be able to cleanse your marrow and hair and change your bones."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything! If I become an immortal, I will never abandon you and will definitely take you with me." Xu Erniu said.

Zhang Chen stopped wiping the pillar upon hearing this, turned his head and looked at Xu Erniu, whose eyes were wide open. He was quite touched, and then he rubbed the little girl's hair and said, "I recently got a mantra, you should take it and comprehend it carefully, practice it quietly in secret, and don't tell anyone, not even the master."

He made up his mind to pass on the great magical power of reversing yin and yang first. If Xu Erniu succeeded in practicing it one day, he wondered if she could rely on reversing yin and yang to change the characteristics of the ginseng fruit in her body, reverse the laws, and embark on a new path.
