I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 406: Xiuliu Breakthrough
The Patriarch of Longevity is not as insignificant as it seems to the outside world.

But the Changsheng Patriarch was sitting on the high platform, looking at his disciples with a pair of eyes, and his voice was still calm: "I have killed one of the three great demon king-level masters of Taiping Dao. The Nine Spirits Yuansheng has fallen, and the other two demon saints will not dare to offend at will. Before they get the secret treasure, they dare not attack my Wuzhuang Temple again. The three saints got a secret treasure in the past, called: Yin Yang Ring. It will take ten or eight years to get it. That means we still have ten or eight years to prepare. If we can kill one of them by then, the whole world will belong to my Wuzhuang Temple, and the famous mountains and rivers in the world will be at your disposal. Therefore, the last ten years of preparation are crucial."

"We will follow the orders of our ancestor and go through fire and water without hesitation." The third brother Qingsong spoke first in a firm voice.

The other disciples all said in unison: "We disciples are willing to go through fire and water without hesitation."

Upon hearing this, the Patriarch Changsheng nodded in satisfaction: "I have another formation here that can gather the power of the dragon veins of the earth to form a formation. All the disciples of my Wuzhuang Temple who have their bodies in harmony with the earth veins can become part of the formation. With each additional disciple of my Wuzhuang Temple who has his body in harmony with the earth veins, the power of the formation will be further enhanced. This is a surprise I prepared for the demon race. The next time the remaining two great saints of the demon race come here, I will make them suffer a calamity."

The master said this and looked at the four major disciples, and took out a scroll from his sleeve: "The four of you lead the disciples who have achieved the body and earth veins to practice."

After the master finished speaking, he explained some trivial matters, turned around and left the platform to return to his own courtyard, then said with a frown: "Where did those ten old guys go? Their own nest has been destroyed, how come they are still missing?"

The old nest involves one's destiny. Logically speaking, even if those people have any plans, they should not joke about their own destiny.

"I always feel that something is not right. Could it be that those old guys played too much and were killed by the innate peacock?" The Patriarch of Longevity was confused and worried.

Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu returned to their own cottage. They made some tea and looked at each other. Zhang Chen was the first to ask, "How is your practice of reversing yin and yang going?"

"I've already gotten into the swing of things and have mastered some of the essentials," said Xu Erniu.

After hearing what Xu Erniu said, Zhang Chen felt relieved. Then he said to Xu Erniu, "You have seen the situation today. If anything goes wrong in the future, you should immediately run down the mountain and hide in a place where no one can find you. Wait until everything calms down before you come out."

"But how could I leave when I haven't found my father yet?" Xu Erniu sighed softly, her voice full of stubbornness.

"Logically speaking, all the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple have gathered in Qingcheng Mountain now. If your father is there, you should have found him long ago. Now that you can't find him, maybe your father was intercepted at the foot of the mountain. You should find a chance to escape and meet your father at the foot of the mountain." Zhang Chen lied to Xu Erniu. He felt that if he could trick Xu Erniu down the mountain in advance when he intercepted the Patriarch Changsheng, he would have a better chance of success.

"If you go down the mountain, I will go down the mountain too! We should go together and return together, so why should I go down the mountain alone first?" Xu Erniu stared at Zhang Chen with her big eyes.

Zhang Chen was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay! We'll go together and return together then!"

A beam of blood light flowed, and no one noticed it. The blood light rushed into Jiuling Yuansheng's huge body, and then Jiuling Yuansheng's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. After more than thirty breaths, only a skin was left, lying quietly on the ground.

At this moment, a ray of blood light shot up from the leather into the sky. Blood clouds rolled up in the sky, and blood-red lotus flowers flickered in the sky and floated down from the sky.

Blood flowers floated in the air and fell on the creatures in the mountains. The demon army gathered near Wuzhuang Temple became the targets of the blood-red lotus. All the blood-red lotuses ignored the defense of the demon beasts and fell into their bodies, then disappeared without a trace, as if the blood-red lotus was useless.

On the top of Wuzhuang Temple, Patriarch Changsheng was thinking about how to break the calamity. He was looking at the sky that suddenly turned blood red. The sky was covered with blood-red clouds, like rolling waves, which looked very scary, especially the blood-red lotus flowers that exuded a faint fragrance. They looked like supreme elixir, but Patriarch Changsheng smelled a very evil stench in the blood-red lotus.

"Someone has entered the realm of 'fruit' and achieved fruition!" The Changsheng Patriarch watched the blood-red lotus floating in the sky falling towards the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple. The next moment, he stomped his foot, and a green shield emanated from the Qingcheng Mountains beneath his feet, blocking the blood-red lotuses in the sky. "But this person's fruition seems a little weird, as if he has bad intentions? There is another variable in the future. I don't know if this result is good or bad for me."

“If I can win over this person and have him join me in fighting against the two saints of the demon race, I can guard against those ten old guys causing trouble…” When Patriarch Changsheng thought of this, he took a step towards the place where Jiuling Yuansheng fell. But where was the shadow of Xiu Liu at this time?
In Zhang Chen's courtyard, Xu Erniu pointed at the blood-red lotus in the sky and looked at the rolling blood-red sea of ​​clouds with a cautious look in her eyes:
"Brother, what is that?"

Zhang Chen ignored Xu Erniu and looked inside his crystal core. He saw the blood sea rolling. A strange lotus appeared in the blood sea. The lotus was flashing with colorful light and looked very mysterious. With the appearance of the colorful lotus, the blood sea in his crystal core rolled for a while, as if a mysterious power was gestating. Then the next moment, the mysterious power materialized and turned into a carp. It jumped out of the blood sea, swallowed the colorful lotus in one gulp, and disappeared in the blood sea without a trace.

"That is the fruit position. From today on, as long as I allow, Xiu Liu can borrow the power of my sea of ​​blood. I can even imprison, seal, and kill the carp!" The moment the carp was formed, Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a hint of enlightenment. It was a kind of knowledge that he knew naturally, as if it was an innate ability.

"Fruitment???" Zhang Chen was a little confused. Xiu Liu broke through the twelfth level and entered the realm of "Fruit", condensing the Fruition. But how did the Fruition get into his blood-colored crystal core?
"Brother, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?" Xu Erniu said something to Zhang Chen, but when she saw that Zhang Chen ignored her and just stood there in a daze, she impatiently hit Zhang Chen with a stick.

Zhang Chen came back to his senses and looked at the blood-red clouds in the sky and the blood-red lotus flowers that kept falling. There was a hint of thought in his eyes: "Maybe some powerful person has achieved enlightenment?"

He recognized the blood-red lotus; it was the essence of the Blood Path. Anyone who was attacked by the blood-red lotus would directly become a creature of the Blood Path.

"Achieved enlightenment? The realm of fruit? When will our generation be able to have such means?" Xu Erniu's eyes were full of envy.

At this time, Zhang Chen began to be absent-minded again, pondering this incident: "The so-called fruit state should be the 'fruit position', right?"

"Why did Xiu Liu's fruition appear in my crystal core?" A doubt flashed in Zhang Chen's mind. After pondering for a moment, he thought to himself: "I am the master of the blood path. I control the fate of the blood path. Could my crystal core be the origin of the blood path?"

"But I, the Lord of Blood Path, have not yet achieved enlightenment. How come he has achieved enlightenment before me?" Zhang Chen felt indignant. Logically speaking, as the Lord of Blood Path, his cultivation level should be higher than Xiu Liu's. But now Xiu Liu has achieved enlightenment, and I am still just an ant.

Zhang Chen was filled with indignation, his eyes full of resentment. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case, right?

"Brother, what are you thinking about? I'm talking to you, did you hear me?" Xu Erniu complained beside him, her voice full of impatience, and she kicked Zhang Chen hard in the stomach: "Stinky brother, I'm not paying attention to you anymore."

Xu Erniu turned away angrily, leaving Zhang Chen staring blankly at the blood-red clouds in the sky. "Xiu Liu achieved the status of Blood Dao, which was controlled by me. If I achieve the status of Immortal Dao, will I also be controlled by the Lord of Immortal Dao?"

Zhang Chen felt a little horrified when he thought of this. If someone else controlled his fate, life and death, then what was the point of practicing?
“How come my crystal core became the origin of the sea of ​​blood?” Zhang Chen was a little puzzled. He connected all the past events together. First, his crystal core absorbed the remaining blood sea water, and then a lotus bloomed in the sea of ​​blood accompanied by the twelve-grade karma fire red lotus. There was also the blood path inheritance he obtained. After counting all these things, it was not impossible for him to become the master of the blood path and master the blood path.

"If the Blood Path can artificially create the master of the Blood Path, then what about the Immortal Path? Can I have a chance to become the master of the Immortal Path? You know, in the real world, the Immortal Path has been extinct, and I am the only one practicing Immortality. I have become the only Immortal Path Qigong practitioner..." Zhang Chen began to fantasize.

At this time, he already had an understanding of the realm of fruit. The so-called realm of fruit is actually the condensation of fruit position. What is fruit position? Fruit position is the authority obtained from the corresponding avenue!
For example, if Xiu Liu condenses the fruit position, he can obtain the authority of the blood sea and borrow the power of the blood sea.

If Zhang Chen can achieve immortal status in the future, he will be able to obtain the authority of immortality.

The fruit position is like an official position, it is just the certificate of authority obtained.

"No wonder I suffered backlash when I swallowed the remains of the monk Haichan's immortal bones. No one can resist the power of the Dao. I was not killed by the backlash thanks to the protection of the power of the Blood Dao." Zhang Chen understood something in his mind, but he was also a little puzzled. Since he was the master of the Blood Dao, why didn't he see any benefits at all?
