I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 799 Zhou Qiucheng's Enlightenment

Bai Cang was in a dilemma. He wanted to save the two demon gods, but he didn't want to offend Zhang Chen.

To him, the Demon God is related to the demon clan’s grand plan, the demon clan’s fate, and the demon clan’s future development. However, Zhang Chen’s strength is unfathomable. Even the two Demon Gods were suppressed by him, while he himself was unharmed. How could he not be afraid?
Zhang Chen's rise was too fast, like a meteor in the sky, so fast that even if he stole the dragon energy from the Pingbian Palace territory, he could not match his speed.

"This kid is quite something!" Bai Cang muttered, then picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I still need to think of a way to mediate. Maybe I can only ask Chen Sanliang to come forward for this matter."

Zhang Chen returned to the escort team and saw Zhou Qiucheng sitting in the carriage reading a book. Seeing Zhang Chen coming back, Zhou Qiucheng looked at Zhang Chen curiously: "I heard that you have a deep hatred with the Prince of Pingbian, but why didn't the evil concubine show hatred when she saw you? Why did she keep you to talk?"

The relationship between Zhang Chen and the Pingbian Palace is no secret. As long as someone is interested, they can find out all the information.

Hearing Zhou Qiucheng's question, Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Sir, do you know the origin of this Zhang Xiaolan?"

"I've heard a little bit about it." Zhou Qiucheng said.

Zhang Chen sat opposite Zhou Qiucheng: "Zhang Xiaolan is Zhang Xiaolan, and Pingbian Palace is Pingbian Palace. Now Pingbian Palace is about to collapse, and I have the ability to help her gain a foothold in Kyoto, so it is not surprising that she chose to betray Pingbian Palace and win over me."

Hearing this, Zhou Qiucheng looked at Zhang Chen deeply. He would not believe Zhang Chen's lies. There must be something fishy between Zhang Chen and Zhang Xiaolan that he didn't know about.

However, everyone in this world has their own secrets, and Zhou Qiucheng also has his own secrets, so he does not intend to delve into the secrets of Zhang Chen and Zhang Xiaolan.

The carriage creaked as it moved forward, following the convoy of the Prince Pingbian's Palace all the way, and followed the Prince Pingbian's Palace towards Kyoto.

Sometimes Zhang Chen was comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, sometimes he was discussing the Dao with Zhou Qiucheng and the laws of heaven, and sometimes he was whispering conspiracies with a fox spirit.

After arriving at the human territory, the journey was peaceful and no trouble occurred. After a month and walking a thousand miles, one night, Zhang Chen and Zhou Qiucheng sat opposite each other in front of the campfire and discussed the laws of heaven and the way the heaven and earth operate.

In front of the two of them, the bonfire flickered with rays of light, and the lamb on it was roasted to a golden and crispy texture.

Chen Ping sat there, roasting a leg of lamb with his head drooped. Ever since the Longevity Tree Coffin was lost, Chen Ping had been sitting there in a depressed mood, as if he had lost his energy and his bones had been pulled out.

Zhang Chen knew what Chen Ping was worried about. The loss of the Longevity Tree Coffin was not just a matter of losing the Longevity Tree Coffin. It also concerned the future of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency, whether it could take root in Kyoto, and the lives of thousands of people in the escort agency.

He wanted to escape, but he didn't dare. The world was so big, where could he escape to? What if he was considered to be stealing from the company? He would die a miserable death. It would be better to pin his hopes on Zhang Chen, and wait for Zhang Chen to come to Kyoto and intercede for him.

At this time, Zhang Chen and Zhou Qiucheng were discussing the principles of the operation of heaven and earth. Zhou Qiucheng was looking at the campfire with a trace of confusion in his eyes. He had been thinking about it for a month, but could not come up with a specific outline of the avenue.

Zhang Chen talked about the "Heavenly Law", but the Heavenly Law is too abstract and cannot be a principle to be adhered to and practiced. If it cannot be practiced, then naturally it cannot prove the truth, and it is just a castle in the air.

"I'm confused. How can the Heavenly Law be manifested from such an illusory concept?" Zhou Qiucheng asked Zhang Chen.

"The laws of heaven are the way of heaven, the laws of nature of heaven and earth. Sir, since you can't find a specific concept of the laws of heaven, how about using ginseng to imitate the sky? Let the laws of humanity give birth to the laws of heaven?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I have thought about what you said, but the laws of humanity contain the selfish desires of the powerful and are mixed with a lot of dross. How can we achieve the goal of using the false to cultivate the true?" Zhou Qiucheng rejected Zhang Chen's proposal.

Zhang Chen was not angry when he heard this, but instead smiled: "Sir, do you think I haven't considered this situation?"

Zhou Qiucheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked Zhang Chen very seriously, his eyes full of expectation: "Please teach me, sir."

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this: "Those laws are false, but the moral ethics of all living beings are true."

At this point, Zhang Chen said word by word: "Law is the bottom line of morality, so morality is the real law. The laws of the dynasty cannot be called laws, they can only be called criminal law doctrines."

"The law is the bottom line of morality?" Zhou Qiucheng was stunned when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought, staring blankly at the campfire.

The mutton was roasted until golden brown. Chen Ping cut the roasted mutton with a knife and was about to hand it to Zhou Qiucheng, but Zhang Chen stopped Chen Ping's action, put his finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence.

Chen Ping looked at Zhang Chen with a puzzled expression. Zhang Chen took the lamb leg and said, "Mr. Zhou has fallen into a state of enlightenment. You must disperse all the people around him and do not make any noise to disturb Mr. Zhou's enlightenment."

Chen Ping nodded upon hearing this and began to drive away the servants around him. Soon the area within several hundred meters was empty. The guards of the escort agency formed a protective wall to keep all the refugees out.

Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Qiucheng and saw a strange fluctuation emanating from Zhou Qiucheng's body. The fluctuation seemed to be in harmony with some rhythm between heaven and earth.

Zhang Chen had seen Young Master attain enlightenment and become a Yang Spirit before. At this moment, in Zhang Chen's eyes, Zhou Qiucheng's spiritual fluctuations were tending towards becoming Young Master.

"Interesting! Zhou Qiucheng is very talented, and it seems that he has already understood something." Zhang Chen was eating the lamb leg while thinking about the key points. Before he finished eating the lamb leg, he suddenly saw that the distant starry sky had been painted with purple clouds, like purple aurora, which was very eye-catching in the night sky.

"Look at the stars!"

"What's that purple light?"

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"

……

At this moment, countless people looked up at the starry sky, looking at the purple clouds appearing on the horizon, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Zhou Qiucheng has attained enlightenment!" Zhang Chen could tell at a glance that the purple clouds in the sky were the gathering of destiny, somehow echoing with Zhou Qiucheng.

"The purple clouds are only a few miles wide now. Once they grow to a hundred miles, we can hope to create a true path and enter the realm of Yang God."

However, as soon as the purple clouds appeared, they began to rise rapidly, rising higher and higher in the night sky.

"Zhou Qiucheng is originally a great scholar with profound accumulated knowledge. Now that he has attained enlightenment, he can quickly transform his past accumulation into nutrients. His cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. It should not be difficult for him to enter the realm of Yang God in one fell swoop. The accumulated knowledge should be enough for him." Zhang Chen muttered secretly.

"However, I don't know how many people will pay attention to Zhou Qiucheng's demonstration of the Dao. I need to retreat as soon as possible to avoid being noticed." Thinking of this, Zhang Chen used his escape technique to leave.

As for someone disturbing Zhou Qiucheng's enlightenment?

I can only say that you are overthinking it. Unless you are a mortal enemy, do you really think the academy is a vegetarian?
Every saint seed is extremely precious to the academy. Anyone who dares to disturb their enlightenment will be hunted down by the academy.

The Imperial Academy is the highest organization of the Dasheng Dynasty, with branches all over the world and its tentacles reaching every powerful person. Except for that fool Chen Sanliang, who dares to go against the Imperial Academy?

As Zhou Qiucheng attained enlightenment, his energy resonated with the heaven and earth. Monks from all directions sensed it and rushed here one after another.

At this time, gods kept appearing in the surroundings, one pair of eyes looked up at the purple clouds in the sky, then looked at Zhou Qiucheng who was realizing the truth. Some people wanted to befriend Zhou Qiucheng, and began to take the initiative to clear the people around him to protect him.

Some people even used their supernatural powers to protect Zhou Qiu.

Relying on his own understanding to enter the Yang Shen realm, he will be looked up to wherever he goes and is worthy of everyone's friendship.

"Who is this person? How can he be enlightened? It seems that the academy has produced a new talent."

"I know this person, he is Zhou Qiucheng from Chongzheng Academy. I didn't expect that after being defeated by Chen Sanliang, he could actually stand up again. Back then, Chen Sanliang also had to be defeated and then stand up again, and only then did he have the Seven Souls that are sweeping the world now. This is another Chen Sanliang!"

"So this person is Zhou Qiucheng. Who would have thought that after his original path was shattered, he would actually find a new path."

……

The various sacred beings around were discussing among themselves, and each pair of eyes looked at Zhang Chen with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Zhang Chen stood in the crowd and watched from afar. The fox fairy Nannan appeared beside Zhang Chen and looked at Zhou Qiucheng who was sitting in front of the campfire in the distance, meditating. She said in surprise, "I didn't expect this old dish to have a second life."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't be rude and be respectful to Mr. Zhou." Zhang Chen scolded the fox fairy girl in an unpleasant manner.

Fox Fairy Nannan pouted, then glanced at Zhang Chen beside her and said flatteringly: "But you are more powerful! You taught Chen Sanliang and Zhou Qiucheng, you are the real thigh."

Zhang Chen ignored the fox fairy Nannan's flattery. It would be fine for him to just listen to the fox fairy's words, but if he really believed in the other party's flattery, he would probably get into trouble sooner or later.

Zhang Chen looked at the fox fairy Nannan and ordered, "Go pick a roasted lamb leg for me. I'm not full yet."

The fox fairy Nannan left happily, leaving Zhang Chen to look at the energy rising from Zhou Qiucheng's body, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "If Zhou Qiucheng can achieve enlightenment, I will have another helper when I arrive in Kyoto."

Of course for him, the more help the better. Who would complain about having too little help?
As more and more sacred things gathered in the sky, Zhou Qiucheng's Qi became stronger and stronger. The purple clouds in the sky soon grew to ten miles, like a waterfall hanging above the starry sky, looking particularly beautiful.
