Chapter 567: Accomplishing the Soul
The little girl's voice was full of tragedy, her steps were weak and her body was swaying. Although she had reached her limit, she still walked towards the direction where Zhang Chen was standing with a determined look on her face.

At this time, Zhang Chen was standing in the dense forest, looking at the blisters and abscesses on his body with a thoughtful look. The next moment, Zhang Chen's blood god power flowed, and all the blisters and abscesses on his body disappeared, and the rotten skin was quickly restored to its original state.

"You bunch of Cao Gang bastards, I will fight you to the death! Even if I die today, I will bite off a piece of flesh from you." Just as Zhang Chen was thinking in his heart, he saw the little girl covered in blood, like a blood gourd, rushing towards Zhang Chen aggressively with a long knife in her hand.

When she saw Zhang Chen standing in the dense forest, the girl paused. Her tragic cry was like a duck being strangled by the neck, and all the words were swallowed back into her throat: "Zhang Chen? Are you alive?"

The little girl looked at Zhang Chen with her big eyes. Her bloodstained face looked at the figure opposite in shock. Then the next moment her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Zhang Chen appeared in front of the little girl in a flash, holding her in his arms. He saw horrible and hideous wounds on her body. Zhang Chen took out a pill and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth, sighing softly, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Then, water streams gathered in the air and washed away the blood on Cheng Yu's body. The next moment, Zhang Chen walked out of the jungle.

Zhang's carriage stopped where it was. Seeing Zhang Chen carrying Cheng Yu back, she immediately walked forward with a nervous look on her face: "How is this girl?"

Cheng Yu's clothes were tattered and he looked like a beggar, which made Zhang's eyelids twitch.

"You've consumed too much energy, and you've also suffered some injuries. You'll be fine after a while of recuperation." Zhang Chen said to Zhang, "Let's get going."

He did not put Cheng Yu in the carriage, for fear that the bumpy ride would affect the healing of the girl's wounds. At this time, Zhang Chen held Cheng Yu in his arms and walked very steadily.

Zhang led the carriage and walked beside Zhang Chen: "Chen'er, what happened to you this time? You scared everyone to death."

"I broke through a barrier in my practice. That barrier came so suddenly that I didn't have time to explain to everyone, and I fell into a strange state directly." Zhang Chen's voice was full of self-blame: "I'm sorry to trouble my mother to worry. I will definitely tell everyone in advance in the future."

Looking at Zhang's red and swollen eyes, which were surrounded by a big dark circle, Zhang Chen felt full of guilt. But this was also a good thing, which made him see clearly whether his family was worth his efforts. Facts proved that his family was worth fighting for.

The two little ones also jumped down from the carriage at this time, and followed Zhang Chen one on the left and one on the right. Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Chen pitifully: "Brother, I will practice martial arts well in the future and never make you angry again."

"Brother, me too! I will never dare to talk back to you again! As long as you are alive, I will be willing to practice martial arts every day even if you ask me to do so." Zhang Taowei grabbed the corner of Zhang Chen's clothes and said eagerly.

Zhang Chen looked at the two little red and swollen eyes. They were so swollen that they looked like they were stung by a bee. Only a slit was visible. It looked quite funny, but Zhang Chen did not laugh. Instead, he said with a stern face, "It's good that you two know you are wrong. You must work hard to practice in the future."

The two little chicks nodded like pecking at rice. Zhang Chen asked Zhang again: "Weren't we going by boat? Why are we going by land again?"

Zhang recounted what happened on the boat, and finally gave a solemn admonition: "Especially Miss Jiang Nan, if you meet her in the future, you must personally go to her house to thank her. We owe her a huge favor this time."

"I understand!" Zhang Chen nodded. "It's just that something is strange on the ship. The chickenpox abscess on my body is very abnormal. Logically speaking, I have practiced well, so this kind of abnormality should not appear on my body."

He felt that something was wrong, but Zhang said, "The Shen family has been very kind to us! Especially the steward on the ship, who has done his best and invited us off the ship after being in a dilemma. He has never been rude to us. Are you too sensitive?"

"Too sensitive?" Zhang Chen remained silent. He always felt that something was not right, especially Shen Qiu's resoluteness and Jiang Nan's help, which gave rise to many thoughts in Zhang Chen's mind.

He has now cultivated his soul, and his thinking is dozens of times more agile than before. In a moment, he has caught the clues: "There is something wrong with Shen Qiu! The blood of my younger brother and sister is enough for people to confirm that we are of the Zhang family bloodline, otherwise Jiang Nan would not have taken out the elixir. If Jiang Nan can figure it out, how can Shen Qiu not figure it out? Unless he is hostile to me and doesn't want me to go to Jinling alive..."

Zhang Chen's thoughts turned, and he figured out countless clues. Ever since he cultivated his primordial spirit, his thinking has become so agile that it is hard to describe.

The primordial spirit is the beginning of a Qigong practitioner's journey to the great path, and it is also the beginning of the immortal path finally beginning to emerge.

Zhang Chen looked inside his body. There was no more magic in his body. Only in the ancestral cavity between his eyebrows, there was a figure shining with golden light. The golden light flowing around the figure was actually the golden light of the righteous god. The blood crystal core turned into a huge chain composed entirely of runes, running through the body of the soul, like blood vessels flowing unsteadily. The physical body was now just an ordinary physical body, and all its magic had fallen into the soul.

"Even if I give up my physical body now, I can still be reborn in another body, but my physical body is the foundation of my immortal path after all, so I cannot give it up. Even for immortals, once the physical body is injured, it will be extremely troublesome. For example, Nezha... once the physical body is damaged, the great way will be cut off! The physical body is the anchor point, the key to fix the soul and the physical body, and it is also a cauldron used to temper and nourish the soul. So even at my level, the physical body is still extremely important, and it is the key to the unity of man and nature." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

After practicing to the realm of Yuanshen, Zhang Chen finally sensed the mysterious laws of the world. However, the laws were too vast, like a heavenly book, and Zhang Chen, a mortal, could not understand them.

But when he reached the realm of Yuanshen, Zhang Chen realized that his realm was very strange, between Yin Shen and Yang Shen.

It does not have the shortcomings of a Yin God, but it also does not have the pure Yang energy of a Yang God.

"If it were in the immortal path, a Yang Shen strongman should be able to be called a Pure Yang True Immortal, having refined away the Yin residue in his body. However, the Yuan Shen follows the path of the Heavenly Immortal, not the Pure Yang Immortal Path. If the Yuan Shen realm can be broken through again, it will be the immortal path. The practice of the immortal path does not follow this world hierarchy, and the immortal path breaks through one great realm after another. Although the Yuan Shen does not have the power of the Yang Shen that can directly mobilize the laws of heaven and earth, it also has the opportunity to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and comprehend the mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth. Simply put, it is not as good as the best, but better than the worst!" Zhang Chen secretly compared the gap between the two methods of practice in his heart.

The carriage rumbled along, stirring up trails of dust. Cheng Yu took a long nap in Zhang Chen's arms, then opened his eyes and looked at that living face, his eyes full of surprise: "Zhang Chen, it really is you! You actually came back to life."

"Senior Sister, thank you for your help this time." Zhang Chen looked at Cheng Yu with a smile. Under the effect of the pill, Cheng Yu's injuries had completely recovered.

"Zhang Chen, you owe me a big favor. You must be nicer to me in the future. You must think of me first when you have something delicious to eat or drink. You must give me the best treasures first. Otherwise, you will be unworthy of my efforts." Cheng Yu complained to Zhang Chen, "For you, I have suffered a thousand cuts and pieces. Look at my body full of scars. How can I get married in the future?"

As he spoke, Cheng Yu raised his arm to show Zhang Chen the knife wounds on his body, but the next moment Cheng Yu was startled and stood there in a daze: "Where are the scars on my body? Where are the wounds?"

Cheng Yu didn't care about Zhang Chen, he just opened his clothes and looked at his smooth skin. The previous injury seemed like a dream. He was stunned in the spot, then raised his head and looked at Zhang Chen: "Is it your method?"

"It was my trick!" Zhang Chen said with a smile, "This time, it's all thanks to Senior Sister. From now on, when I get something good, I will definitely let Senior Sister benefit first."

"You still have a conscience." Cheng Yu nodded in satisfaction. When he realized that he was being hugged by Zhang Chen, he immediately became unhappy and struggled to jump out of Zhang Chen's arms: "Zhang Chen, do you think I'm a child? How can you hug someone like this! Only children are hugged like this."

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Zhang Chen stroked Cheng Yu's little head with a smile: "It's my fault, Senior Sister is right to teach me a lesson."

"Zhang Chen, you are not allowed to touch my head! I am your senior sister!" Cheng Yu stared at Zhang Chen with eyes wide open and full of shame and anger.

Zhang Chen rubbed the little girl's head hard, making it look like a honeycomb, and then ran forward with pride.

"Zhang Chen! I'm not done with you! We're not done!" Cheng Yu glared at Zhang Chen and started chasing after him.

Zhang looked at the lively Zhang Chen and the lively little girl and couldn't help but sighed softly, "That's great."

That night
The family built a bonfire, and Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in the dark, silently practicing Qigong to mobilize his soul, preparing to use his soul to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

"This is my first time to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth. I hope I can gain some insights!" Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

The next moment, the void behind Zhang Chen twisted, and the soul had left his body and appeared behind Zhang Chen. The soul's face and body were exactly the same as Zhang Chen's, but the body seemed illusory and not so solid.

As his soul left his body, the void in front of Zhang Chen changed, and an unprecedented world appeared before his eyes.

What is the law of heaven and earth? When you see it, you will understand it naturally!
