I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 568 Laws of Heaven and Earth
The changing of seasons is the law, and the cycle of life and death is the law.

For all living beings, the law is an invisible force. Although it cannot be seen or touched, it drives the order of heaven and earth and maintains the operation of the sun, moon, yin and yang.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, all of which are secretly driven by the power of the law. For cultivators like Zhang Chen, the laws of heaven and earth have changed from ethereal and invisible things to complex chains of order visible to the naked eye, constantly flowing between heaven and earth.

In his spiritual eyes, the heaven and earth turned into a huge and complex chain of order, interwoven together, like a huge ball of thread, with no clues to it, but clearly operating according to some unique rules.

What shocked Zhang Chen the most was that the laws were so dense and spread all over the world, maintaining the operation of the entire world. The whole world seemed to have turned into a world of "balls of thread".

However, among those intricate balls of thread, some made Zhang Chen feel familiar. He could sense a trace of inexplicable information in the chains of lines, while there were some balls of thread that he could not understand at all and they gave off a sense of resistance. When Zhang Chen looked at them, the lines actually disappeared into a blank space, leaving Zhang Chen no chance to peek.

"Huh? Why is it like this?" Zhang Chen saw that some lines would disappear out of thin air in front of his eyes, and when he moved his eyes away, the lines would emerge out of thin air again. A look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"Could there be any changes in this?" Zhang Chen was curious, and secretly deduced and compared, looking at those laws of heaven and earth that would not be "invisible". The most eye-catching were two silk threads, one was colorful, and the other was black and white. When Zhang Chen looked at these two silk threads, they fluctuated slightly, as if releasing some frequency to Zhang Chen.

"That colorful thread corresponds to the five elements of heaven and earth. The black and white thread corresponds to the yin and yang of heaven and earth." Zhang Chen carefully sensed the fluctuations from the two threads, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "There is also a transparent thread!"

Zhang Chen looked at the almost transparent silk thread, which was also emitting waves. The waves turned into a frequency, transmitting mysterious information to Zhang Chen. After a moment, Zhang Chen had an epiphany: "This silk thread represents time!"

"And that dark thread represents death..."

Zhang Chen's eyes swept across the threads in the void, and a look of sudden realization appeared in his eyes: "I know! Those threads that don't dodge correspond to the magical powers in me. The colorful thread corresponds to the innate five elements, the gray and white thread corresponds to the yin and yang grinding wheel and the inverted yin and yang, and the time thread represents the acceleration of time... and those that hide from my gaze and don't want me to peek are powers that I have never come into contact with."

At this moment, Zhang Chen felt an indescribable fatigue in his soul, and his soul quickly returned to his body: "My soul watching the laws will consume my soul power. I have just entered the soul realm, and the time I can comprehend is only a hundred breaths. After a hundred breaths, my soul power will be exhausted, and my spirit will be used up."

"It's only been a hundred breaths. How can I comprehend any law?" Zhang Chen cursed.

So useless!

But Zhang Chen could understand. By observing the laws of heaven and earth, the information from the laws of heaven and earth was fed back to him and poured into Zhang Chen's soul. What a huge amount of information that was.
It's like memorizing something by rote, and the energy consumed is enormous.

"Your cultivation speed is so fast that you can even comprehend the laws now." The Great Freedom Demon appeared beside Zhang Chen and looked at him with shock on his face.

“What’s the use of being able to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth? I can only last a hundred breaths now. Once it exceeds a hundred breaths, I will be exhausted.” Zhang Chen rubbed his head tiredly.

Once it exceeds a hundred breaths, it will be "hurt", so Zhang Chen would never dare to take the burden to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, lest his soul be exploded and directly shattered.

"You can study the secret techniques as a supplement to prolong the time you spend observing the laws of heaven and earth." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"Studying secret techniques as a minor? Do you have such a secret technique?" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard that.

The Great Freedom Demon nodded: "It just so happens that there is one!"

Zhang Chen's eyes were bright, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at the Great Freedom Demon with burning eyes.

The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "This secret method is very unique, and it is difficult for ordinary people to practice, but you have a good chance. If you want to practice this secret method, you need something innate, and you happen to meet the most demanding conditions of this era."

"Stop talking so much and teach me the secret method quickly." Zhang Chen said unhappily.

The Great Free Demon was not verbose and passed the secret method to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen pondered the secret method of the Great Free Demon and said thoughtfully: "The method of entrusting the soul? The natal magic weapon?" "That's right! But this secret method is too demanding. It requires innate things, or innate magic weapons, to practice successfully." The Great Free Demon said.

“Once you have mastered this secret method, after the soul leaves the body, it will take advantage of the natal object, which is equivalent to owning a body. Then it will naturally be able to exert incredible effects. But if you want to practice this method, you must have innate objects, because only innate objects can produce incredible effects with the soul.” After Zhang Chen comprehended this method for a long time, he gradually analyzed the key points.

"Yes! This method is very suitable for you. You have a lot of innate things in you, which are enough to practice this method." The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "This magical power is the prerequisite for the Law of Heaven and Earth, but it is a bargain for you."

"Would you be so kind as to teach me your magical powers?" Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at the Great Freedom Demon, his eyes full of surprise.

"What's with that look in your eyes, kid? You actually doubt me, your ancestor? You take my kindness for granted. You are such a disrespectful grandson!" The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was full of resentment.

Although the Great Freedom Demon said so, Zhang Chen still felt that this old guy had bad intentions. With this old guy's temperament, he was the only one who took advantage of others, so how could it be someone else's turn to take advantage of him?

Seeing Zhang Chen's suspicious look towards him, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon shook his head, and disappeared in a flash, leaving only one sentence: "I've given you the magical power, you can practice it or not, if you don't want to practice it, forget it!"

Watching the Great Freedom Demon disappear, Zhang Chen fell into silence, and only grinned after a long time. Of course he had to practice this magical power. Now the Great Freedom Demon was in his hands. His soul-catching chains held the Great Freedom Demon tightly, and there was no way the Great Freedom Demon could escape from his control. Even if the other party had any conspiracy or tricks, he would not be afraid.

"Once the soul leaves the body and has something to rely on, it is like having a body. It can avoid many assassinations. Of course, I have to practice this kind of magical power." Zhang Chen tapped his knees with his fingers. There is no reason for him to give up the magical power that can make him stronger, but choosing an object to rely on requires careful consideration.

“The treasures on me that are suitable for entrusting my soul are the golden shears, the yin-yang grinding wheel, the ascension pool, the Buzhou seal, the fire-proof beads, the sea-fixing beads, the wind-fixing pills…” Zhang Chen’s eyes fell on the ascension pool and he saw the innate Jianmu inside.

"To place the soul, one must choose a safe treasure." Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the golden scissors. Among all his magic weapons, the golden scissors were the most powerful. They had reached the level of the legendary innate treasure. Once the golden scissors were used to place the soul, it would definitely increase the attack power of his soul.

The Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel is not bad. It is an innate magic weapon embryo. Once it is matured, it will become a rare and powerful magic weapon.

As for the Buzhou Seal, it is his most unique treasure, which is immune to all kinds of attacks and has the effect of suppressing evil. It is the most unique among all his magic weapons. If he can collect thirty-three copies of the Seal in the future, it will have incredible effects.

As for the rest of the treasures, such as the Fire-Repellent Beads, their effects were too simple, so Zhang Chen looked down on them.

“The Ascension Pool is not an option either!” Zhang Chen glanced at the Ascension Pool and ruled it out. The upper limit of the Ascension Pool was too low. Once he transformed into an immortal, the Ascension Pool would no longer be of any use to him.

"It's this alchemy furnace, its origin is mysterious, there is innate energy flowing inside it, it seems to be an innate treasure, it would be nice if it could be used to house my soul." Zhang Chen looked at the alchemy furnace again, feeling a little hesitant.

"If I were you, I would choose Tongtian Jianmu." Just when Zhang Chen was thinking and hesitating, the Great Freedom Demon beside him spoke, and the other party seemed to have noticed what Zhang Chen was thinking.

"The function of Tongtian Jianmu is too single. It can only transform the innate vitality and has no offensive power. It is too useless to use it to rely on the power of the soul..." Zhang Chen fell into deep thought halfway through his words.

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said, "Boy, Tongtian Jianmu is the only treasure that can grow with you! Moreover, Tongtian Jianmu can take root in the chaos. Even if the world is destroyed in the future, you can survive even if you fall into the chaos with the characteristics of Tongtian Jianmu. The most important thing is that Tongtian Jianmu is not as simple as you see. Do you really understand Tongtian Jianmu? You must know that Tongtian Jianmu is a top-notch innate foundation. If you want to further cultivate and reach the highest level in the future, it will not work with your current foundation! If you want to reach the realm of transcendence, you must have an innate sacred foothold."

The words of the Great Freedom Demon made Zhang Chen's heart move. He thought of the characters in the novels of his previous life, Zhen Yuanzi and Jie Yin Saint, who were all born from innate grass and wood, and once they developed, they would reach the pinnacle of heaven and earth in the future.

The foundation determines the upper limit of a monk!

"If you want to truly transcend life and death and reach the realm of eternal immortality, how can you do it without innate foundation?" The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen seriously and said, "Think about it yourself! The seedling of the towering Jianmu has just grown out. For you, this is an unprecedented good opportunity. If you miss today, you will never have another chance in the future."
