I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 497 Godfather
Zhang Chen spoke in a high-sounding manner, using words full of righteousness, but in the end he still did not want to take the old eunuch as his godfather.

How could a good man like himself worship an old eunuch as his godfather? If the news got out, how would Zhang Chen live as a man? He would definitely be ridiculed by the heroes of the world.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Chen finished speaking, the old eunuch opposite him fell silent. He looked Zhang Chen up and down, praising him, "It's rare that you have a conscience. Most people in this world don't have a conscience, but you are the only one who has a conscience. This really surprises me, the ancestor."

"It's not that I have a conscience, I just know that I can't do things against my conscience." Zhang Chen said, but he felt relieved in his heart: "The other party should give up this time, right?"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the old eunuch clapped his hands in praise, and then said to Zhang Chen: "I like your energy, kneel down and kowtow."

"What?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He stared at the old eunuch blankly, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

I have already explained the pros and cons clearly, why does the other party still want to have anything to do with me?
"I say you should kowtow. Your troubles are not without wiggle room. When I, the ancestor, step into the tenth level in the future, I can easily settle this karma for you. You are a person who understands my feelings very well, so kowtow quickly! I will take over the karma for you." Dugu Qiu said with a smile.

Zhang Chen was speechless when he heard this. He stared at the old eunuch blankly, not knowing what to do. He stood there at a loss.

He said all sorts of nice and bad things, why couldn't the old eunuch understand?

"What? Are you still hesitating about something?" The old eunuch saw Zhang Chen standing there in a daze. He thought that Zhang Chen was so happy that he didn't know which way was which and was overwhelmed by happiness. So he smiled and pulled Zhang Chen back to his senses.

After hearing what the old eunuch said, Zhang Chen's head was buzzing. He felt that if he made an excuse not to worship his father at this time, the other party would think that he was playing a trick on him and would immediately turn against him.

So Zhang Chen could only force out a smile, which was uglier than crying:

"Since we are going to become godfathers, how can we do it without a ceremony? This place is too simple and cannot show my intentions. When the North is pacified, I will invite my relatives and friends to witness it and hold a grand ceremony of becoming a disciple..."

Zhang Chen wanted to find an excuse to shirk responsibility. He thought, once he left the north, where in the world would this old eunuch be able to find him?

Unexpectedly, the old eunuch waved his hands and said indifferently: "I don't mind this kind of false reputation. What I value is your pure heart. If you have me in your heart, it doesn't matter if there is no apprenticeship ceremony. If you don't have me in your heart, even if the apprenticeship ceremony is grand, it will be useless if you are half-hearted and secretly stab us."

When the old eunuch said this, he looked at Zhang Chen with burning eyes and said, "Boy, we don't need to worry about those vulgar rituals. Just kowtow."

The old eunuch had said so, what else could Zhang Chen say? If he continued to refuse, he would be really ungrateful, and the two would end up falling out.

So no matter how reluctant Zhang Chen was, he had no choice but to accept it.

"Greetings, Daddy! I don't know why, but ever since I saw you, I felt like I saw my biological father. From now on, you are my real dad."

After saying this, Zhang Chen knelt on the ground like a golden mountain being pushed down by a jade pillar, and kowtowed respectfully to the old eunuch: "My son greets his father."

"Good! Good! Good child! You are really a good child. We have adopted countless children, hundreds of them big and small, and you are the most unique. Don't worry, when I return to Beijing, I will take the initiative to plan for your redress. You can come back to Beijing with us this time, so that I, your ancestor, can take good care of you. You will surely live a life of luxury and wealth." The old eunuch patted Zhang Chen's shoulder, his voice full of relief.

Hearing the old eunuch's words, Zhang Chen's mouth twitched. He didn't want to go to Kyoto now. Kyoto was a place where luck gathered, with many masters and mixed forces. He didn't want to put himself in danger.

"Dad, I already have my own plans and don't want to go to Kyoto for the time being. I still have to go to the south to take care of some personal matters. After I finish, I will go to Kyoto to join you." Zhang Chen hurriedly said to the old eunuch.

He has so many secrets, why would he follow the old eunuch to Kyoto?

Kyoto is a prison, not suitable for Zhang Chen's development. Zhang Chen has all his skills, and can only shine in a place where masters are scarce, and transform all his resources into strength.

The old eunuch looked Zhang Chen up and down after hearing this, and showed a thoughtful look: "But what's the trouble? If you have any trouble, just tell me. In the territory of Dasheng Dynasty, many things can be solved with just a word from me, the ancestor."

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "Godfather, there is no need to intervene. This is my personal matter." Seeing Zhang Chen's resistance, the old eunuch said nothing more and just said, "If you have something you can't solve, just ask someone to send a letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We will support you."

Zhang Chen didn't know whether this old eunuch was trustworthy or not, so he could only nod in agreement.

The old eunuch looked Zhang Chen up and down, and then asked, "Do you plan to practice martial arts or soul cultivation in the future? If you practice soul cultivation, I will teach you the visualization method directly. If you practice martial arts, it will be a bit troublesome. You have already passed the best period for building a martial arts foundation, and I am afraid that your achievements in the future will be limited. However, if you can find natural materials and treasures to cleanse your hair and marrow and reshape your muscles and bones, it is not impossible to achieve something."

Hearing that the old eunuch was planning a future path for him, Zhang Chen's heart moved. Unfortunately, whether it was the visualization method or the martial arts practice technique, he had no shortage of them.

But in front of the old eunuch, Zhang Chen was just an ant who had just awakened his bloodline power, so of course he couldn't say that. So he bowed respectfully to the old eunuch and said, "Please make the decision."

The old eunuch looked Zhang Chen up and down for a moment, then took out a page of gold foil from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Chen: "This is the fundamental visualization method of our family's practice. It is the original version of the Heavenly Book. You can use it to visualize and practice. Remember, this page of the golden book is of great importance and extremely precious. You must not lose it."

Golden Book?

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the page of the book. You know, he was able to obtain the golden light of the God because of the skills brought by a page of the golden book. It can be seen how precious this thing is. He didn't expect to see another page of the golden book now.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen took the gold foil paper with an excited look on his face, and saw a visualization picture engraved on it. On the front was nine blazing suns, and on the back were lines of text he had never seen before. The most important thing was that this text was the same as the text on the page of the Xisheng Sutra that Zhang Chen had obtained, and they should have the same origin.

"I'll give this item to you for your contemplation temporarily. Remember not to show it in front of others, or you may get killed." Dugu Qiu warned Zhang Chen carefully.

Zhang Chen held the golden page, feeling the mysterious power flowing on it, and looked up at Dugu Qiu: "Please forgive my ignorance, I don't know what the words engraved on this book are?"

Zhang Chen had indeed never seen this kind of text. Zhang Chen had read all the books in Wuzhuang Temple and was considered to be well-versed in ancient and modern times, but he had never seen the text on this page of the book. It was obvious that this text came from after the mysterious era.

The old eunuch smiled and said, "This text is not from our time, but from the Dharma Ending Age. In order to prevent the inheritance from being buried in the depths of time and space, the various traditions used gold foil to print the text and record the inheritance, so that it would not decay over time."

"This text is from a mysterious era. It's normal that you don't recognize it. It's impossible to decipher it unless you are from an ancient family. Not to mention you, even if I don't recognize it, the Chai family of the Dasheng Dynasty is a family that has been passed down from ancient times, and we have a deciphered version of this page of the golden book. This text records a magical skill called: Gathering the Sun. This skill can collect the essence of the sun to temper the bones and muscles, and cultivate a golden body of the sun. Unfortunately, countless masters in the palace have tried it themselves, but they couldn't withstand the calcination of the power of the sun and turned directly into ashes. You don't have to pay attention to the text, just visualize the engraved scroll and complete the practice of visualization." The old eunuch reminded Zhang Chen: "Knowing the text will not benefit you."

Zhang Chen disagreed when he heard this. He thought that just because others couldn't practice a skill, it didn't mean he couldn't practice it.

However, he did not need to know the words recorded on this page of scriptures. He only needed to find a way to make this page of scriptures drop skills, and then he would naturally master all the secrets on the entire page of scriptures.

So Zhang Chen stroked the scriptures with his fingertips and looked at Dugu Qiu with curiosity: "Godfather, this is the first time I have seen a book made of gold foil. I don't know where this thing came from. It's really strange."

Dugu Qiu said: "This golden page came from sixty years ago. Someone dug up an ancient tomb of gods and demons, and the master of the Chai family obtained this page of the golden book from it."

Zhang Chen looked up and down at the golden page, and felt that his own golden light seemed to be attracted by the golden page. He felt as if it was ready to move inside his body, as if it could flow out at any time and resonate with the golden page in his hand.

"This thing and the True God Golden Light have some resonance, could it be that they come from the same source? Yes, they are both Golden Page Heavenly Books, so it makes sense if the two are related. This thing will definitely give me a big surprise, maybe it will make my True God Golden Light transform again!" Zhang Chen kept thinking about all kinds of ideas in his mind, and after a while he made a decision: "I wonder if I can use the True God Golden Light to stimulate this golden page and make it drop skills. Or I can directly touch it with the True God Golden Light, and I wonder if it will cause any reaction. But Dugu Qiu is here, so it's not a good idea for me to try it here. If something strange happens, it will be troublesome."

Zhang Chen could only suppress the thoughts in his mind, stuffed the golden page into his arms, and then said to Dugu Qiu: "Don't worry, godfather, I will work hard to practice in the future and strive to cultivate stronger magical powers as soon as possible."

Then Zhang Chen changed the subject and looked at the spear in Dugu Qiu's arms, and asked curiously, "I wonder where this spear came from? Godfather seems to value it very much?"

Zhang Chen pretended not to know the details of the spear and tried to test Dugu Qiu.

Dugu Qiu did not hide it: "This thing is called: Judgment, it is a twelfth-level mystery, and it is one of the three great artifacts that the Dasheng court uses to suppress destiny. It has two abilities. The first is to draw the power of heavenly thunder and use it to kill the opponent. The second ability is more powerful, that is, to mobilize the power of time, and use the power of time to kill the enemy. This artifact is related to my Dasheng destiny, so I can't give it to you."
