I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 425: Semi-Immortal Body
Zhang Chen muttered and pulled the Great Freedom Demon out: "How should I use the liquid in the Ascension Pool?"

The Great Freedom Demon lowered his head and glanced at the Ascension Pool. He did not show any special interest, but said indifferently: "Just jump in and soak. But the essence in the Ascension Pool is too little right now. It is not enough for you to completely transform. I suggest you soak only one part of your body and let that part transform. In the future, whether you use magical powers or practice mantras, it can play a role in amplification."

"Only soak one part? Where?" Zhang Chen looked himself up and down.

"If you cultivate your primordial spirit, of course you should immerse it and make it transform. Unfortunately, your primordial spirit has not been cultivated yet, so you can only work on your physical body." The Great Freedom Demon muttered beside him.

Zhang Chen looked up and down thoughtfully, and finally his eyes fell on his hands: "If I use this pool of liquid to soak my hands, what will happen?"

"It will make your hands evolve into an immortal body. It can only make your hand seals smoother and more powerful. It has no special use." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hands into the pool. Then he saw that the colorful liquid in the pool seemed to come alive, and actively gathered towards Zhang Chen's hands, seeping into Zhang Chen's skin and pores, constantly causing his hands to undergo some inexplicable changes.

"I advise you to only soak one hand, because the essence in this pool is not enough to transform both of your hands at the same time." The Great Freedom Demon spoke up and reminded.

Zhang Chen listened to the advice and quickly withdrew one of his hands, leaving the other hand soaked in the pool. Then he saw that the water in the pool seemed to boil, and it evolved into mysterious colorful runes. The colorful runes turned into rays of light, which intertwined into pieces of brocade, and surrounded Zhang Chen's palm, tempering the various mysteries in Zhang Chen's palm, causing incredible changes in Zhang Chen's bones.

Time passed quickly, and Zhang Chen's palm transformed for three days. Only when all the colored energy in the pool was exhausted again did Zhang Chen retract his palm and then stand firmly at the bottom of the pool with his feet.

Zhang Chen lowered his head and looked at his left hand. He always felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable energy gathering in his left hand. That inexplicable energy was like magic power, but it was not magic power. Its power attribute was stronger than magic power and even more incredible.

Moreover, Zhang Chen felt that his left hand seemed to have become different. It seemed that the natural energy that was difficult to reach in the past could be controlled by his left hand.

"The left hand of an immortal." The Great Freedom Demon looked Zhang Chen up and down, and said sourly, "You can use this left hand to better understand the great Dao, to feel the laws of heaven and earth, to comprehend and deduce the changes in the laws of magical powers. You are now considered a semi-immortal, and your future achievements are limitless. The Ascension Pool is originally a place where cultivators need to enter and transform after reaching a certain level of cultivation, so that they can have the opportunity to be ranked among the immortals. You are a long way from becoming an immortal, but you have such good fortune. You will definitely go a long way on this road in the future. You are really lucky!"

Zhang Chen was immediately displeased when he heard this, and said confidently: "I, Zhang Chen, have achieved what I have today entirely through my own hard work and practice. How can I say it's just shit luck?"

Having said that, Zhang Chen knew in his heart that without the golden finger, he would not have achieved what he has today.

Zhang Chen no longer paid attention to the Great Freedom Demon, but looked towards the Ascension Pool in front of him. He made a gesture with his left immortal hand, chanted a spell silently in his heart, and began to offer sacrifices to the Ascension Pool in front of him.

Although the Ascension Pool has been ruined, it is still a rare treasure for Zhang Chen. Moreover, although the Ascension Pool has a hole, it can't be repaired by himself in the future? If the Ascension Pool can be repaired, it will surely be able to reproduce its former glory.

Zhang Chen had the ritual formula and control formula for the Ascension Pool. In addition, he had five hundred years of magic power and the hand of an immortal, so the ritual became easier for him.

The most important thing is that Zhang Chen discovered that the immortal's hand can amplify his magical power by more than ten times. The mana flowing through it will also be amplified by the inexplicable energy, allowing Zhang Chen to perform the ritual of ascending to the ascension pool faster.

Ten days passed quickly, and Zhang Chen had already mastered the first level of restrictions of the Ascension Pool and had a general understanding of it.

This ascension pool has a total of forty-eight innate restrictions. Because it suffered heavy damage, twenty-four of the innate restrictions collapsed, leaving only twenty-four innate restrictions still in operation.

"The most important thing is that the remaining 24 innate restrictions in the Ascension Pool are still in operation, and can gather 24 drops of essence energy every day. This is the real big deal." Zhang Chen was secretly happy. 24 drops are not many, about the size of half a bottle of mineral water. Although they are not very useful, they can last for a long time. As long as they are gathered every day, they will definitely be a huge number after a long time.

The Ascension Pool had gone through tens of thousands of years but had not gathered a huge amount of essence. The reason was that the energy in the Ascension Pool had dissipated. The innate restriction was broken and it had lost the means to restrain the energy of the Ascension Pool.

"It's a pity that I came too late. Most of the energy of the Ascension Pool has already completed the North Dragon Vein. That bastard Zhang Shicheng got a great bargain. No wonder Zhang Shicheng's ancestral tomb is emitting green smoke and has turned red with purple." Zhang Chen cursed in his heart. He always felt that he had suffered a great loss. These were all his things, but the Pingbian Palace got the advantage. It would be strange if he could be happy.

Zhang Chen looked up and down at the entire Ascension Pool and saw that it was now five cubic meters in size. As it fell from the spiritual world, it directly hit the mountains below and was embedded in the mountains. Due to the leakage of energy, it had been temporarily connected with the dragon vein in the north and could not be moved for the time being.

"If I don't take away the Ascension Pond, and rely on the energy collected from the Ascension Pond every day to nourish the Northern Dragon Vein, I'm afraid that the Northern Dragon Vein will sooner or later turn into an ancestral vein under the nourishment of that essence of energy." Zhang Chen speculated secretly in his heart.

“But now the Ascension Pool has been temporarily connected to the dragon vein. If I forcibly move the Ascension Pool, I’m afraid it will cause changes in the dragon veins in the north, and I’ll bring down heavenly punishment if I’m not careful.” Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

"But there is a solution. When King Pingbian transforms from a dragon, I can naturally take over the Ascension Pool." Zhang Chen walked around the Ascension Pool and looked it up and down carefully, trying to find if there were any traces left by the old people on the Ascension Pool. However, no matter how much he looked, he could not find any useful clues, so he could only look away in disappointment.

"What was the final outcome of that war? Are these scars left over from that war?" All kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and his eyes were full of calculations.

After thinking for a long time without getting any result, he turned his head and looked into the distance, and saw an invisible Feng Shui formation covering the Ascension Pool, suppressing the aura that was constantly venting from the Ascension Pool.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. At this time, the drizzle in the sky had begun to grow heavier and turned into a drizzle, but the cold current in the air was still surging.

"Now the ancestral vein of the North Land has the help of the Ascension Pool. King Pingbian Zhang Shicheng has gained the geographical advantage, has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here, and has the support of the people. The only thing I can do is the timing. If I can force Zhang Shicheng to transform into a dragon ahead of time, then the timing for Zhang Shicheng to transform into a dragon will be destroyed, which will at least increase the probability of failure by 10%. " Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

But how to force Pingbian King Zhang Shicheng to transform into a dragon and walk away earlier?
Zhang Chen looked at the Feng Shui formation in front of him, then at the Ascension Pool, and an idea gradually formed in his mind: "I have a way! If I break this Feng Shui formation and then expose the Ascension Pool, when the time comes, all the heroes in the world will gather here. There will always be reckless people who will not be afraid of any heavenly punishment. Heavenly punishment only punishes cultivators. If ordinary warriors come to dig dragon veins, they will not be punished by heaven."

Zhang Chen had an idea in his mind. Looking at the essence that had re-gathered at the bottom of the Ascension Pool, he collected it and put it into a jade bottle. It then turned into a stream of light and flew away. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Chen Xu. He also used his own water dripping transfer technique to once again pass through the barrier of the Feng Shui formation.

"Brother Zhang, have you found anything?" Chen Xu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Zhang Chen appear again, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, and handed the jade bottle of essence taken out from the Ascension Pool to Chen Xu: "There is a liquid in this bottle, which has incredible fortune. Once it is absorbed by the human body and organs, there will be incredible transformation."

Zhang Chen described the properties of the essence liquid in the Ascension Pool. Chen Xu scratched his head at this time. After a brief hesitation, he pulled out the cork and placed the bottle on his forehead.

"My Feng Shui technique has a magical power called the Heavenly Eye. Once the Heavenly Eye is opened, I can capture the secrets of heaven, observe the past and the future, and deduce the changes in the overall situation of the world. I possess all kinds of incredible powers. According to what you said, this liquid should be able to help me unlock my potential, stimulate the Heavenly Eye, and even strengthen and transform my Heavenly Eye." Chen Xu's eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu's actions and was stunned for a moment, then praised him: "You are really smart!"

Such a small amount of energy from the Ascension Pool is not enough to strengthen any organ of the body, but there is some hope that it can be used to activate and cultivate one's own pineal gland and open one's own third eye.
