I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 957 Eighty-nine Mysterious Skills
Looking at Zhong Xiang in his arms, Zhang Chen was filled with a thousand thoughts. He had never imagined that the causal pull between them was so powerful. No wonder he had a strange feeling when he first saw Zhong Xiang after returning from Kunlun. He felt that the two of them were familiar. The woman in front of him was somewhat similar to Biyun Niangniang. He never imagined that she was actually a part of Biyun Niangniang's true spirit reincarnated.

However, it is only a part of Biyun Niangniang's true spirit, not the complete Biyun Niangniang. To find the complete Biyun Niangniang, it is necessary to gather her soul fragments together.

“It seems that Kunlun Mountain did indeed suffer a calamity in the ancient times. The innate Five Elements Formation was broken, the Five Elements Flags were scattered in all directions, and even Lady Biyun died. That white ape was the protector of West Kunlun Mountain, so I'm afraid it is also in grave danger!” Zhang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of caution.

"That old ape was an unparalleled being at the Great Luo realm, whose lifespan was as long as the heavens, transcending fate and time. Unfortunately, in the face of the great calamity, it was still like an ant trying to stop a chariot with its bare arms." Zhang Chen sighed softly, wondering if he would have a chance to survive the great changes in the world.

"As long as I can accumulate enough points to reach the Great Luo Realm of Creation, I can break free from the shackles of this world and escape. If I can find the Eight-Nine Arcane Art and combine it with my Nine Revolutions Arcane Art to form the Pangu True Body, I wonder how powerful my cultivation will be then." Zhang Chen felt that he should find a way to find the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, but he didn't even have a clue about its whereabouts: "Perhaps I should ask that big black dog when I have time."

Zhang Chen's days became leisurely afterward, and everything seemed to return to peace, except for the Great Victory Court, which was busy collecting supplies everywhere.

Zhong Xiang's scalp itched from Zhang Chen's hair, and she opened her eyes with a grumpy expression: "Why are you moving around so early in the morning instead of sleeping? You woke me up."

As he said this, he raised his fist and punched Zhang Chen's thigh twice. Still not satisfied, he flipped Zhang Chen over and proceeded to brutally attack Zhang Chen's buttocks, his mouth full of the satisfaction of getting revenge: "Back then, I always thought that one day I would pin you down and stab your buttocks twice. At the very least, I would beat you up every day to vent my anger."

"Want to beat me up to vent your anger? I think I'll beat you up instead! You little brat, you'll get out of control if you don't teach me a lesson. Today I'll show you what I'm capable of." Zhang Chen was unwilling to be pinned down by Zhong Xiang, so he flipped over and pinned Zhong Xiang down, and then gave her a good beating.

Outside the door

Cheng Yu stood outside the door, listening to the commotion inside. She couldn't help but blush and spit out a mouthful of saliva: "Pah! They're utterly shameless!"

Then he stomped his foot, turned around, and disappeared into the courtyard.

In the afternoon, Zhang Chen was sitting in the yard sunbathing when a dark shadow appeared stealthily in the yard. Seeing Zhang Chen lying on the recliner, it darted out and bit Zhang Chen's thigh.

"You damn dog, let go of me!" Zhang Chen was startled by the sudden appearance of the big black dog, and quickly sat up and started gouging at Zhang Chen's eyes.

"Woof woof woof~" the big black dog barked unhappily, its voice filled with anger.

"Why did you bite me again? I didn't do anything to you!" Zhang Chen was exasperated by the big black dog's bites. After all, you can't argue with an animal. He scolded it helplessly.

"You actually mastered the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique! How did you do that?" The big black dog glared at Zhang Chen. "If you don't tell me your secret, I won't give in! I want to master the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique too!"

In this era where the path to immortality has been severed, Zhang Chen actually cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, which was nothing short of a miracle in the eyes of the big black dog.

As for how the big black dog sensed that Zhang Chen had cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, the big black dog was extremely familiar with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique. Yesterday, when Zhang Chen was just in front of him, he had already sensed the traces of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique on Zhang Chen's body. In this impossible era of the Dharma End, such a miracle as Zhang Chen had actually appeared, so of course he had to find out.

As for how the other party was able to get past the guards and enter the heavily guarded Zhang family compound, it's because he didn't leave at all yesterday.

"So that's what it was about!" Zhang Chen released his grip on the big black dog's eyes. Now that he had mastered the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, the big black dog couldn't even break his skin; it only added a little pain to his pain.

"I have a question I'm about to ask you. If you can answer it, I can tell you the secret to cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique," Zhang Chen said with a smile. "How about we switch places?"

The big black dog hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but ultimately released Zhang Chen: "What do you want to ask?"

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?" Zhang Chen asked.

The big black dog was taken aback upon hearing this, looking at Zhang Chen with a face full of surprise: "I didn't expect that you, a native, would know about the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts?"

Being looked down upon by a dog, Zhang Chen's mood was understandably gloomy. He glared at the big black dog and said, "Speak up!"

“I don’t know where the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts are, but I do know clues to them,” the big black dog said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen's face lit up with joy: "Tell me quickly."

"Within the spiritual world, there is an ancient celestial palace called the Ancient Heavenly Court. It contains all the cultivation techniques and supernatural powers in the world. If you can enter it, you will surely find the whereabouts of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts."

The big black dog smiled slyly and spoke without hesitation.

That celestial palace was located on the thirty-third heaven; he didn't think Zhang Chen, this native, had any chance of entering it. "Quickly tell me how you cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique?" the big black dog pressed Zhang Chen.

"The reason is simple: I obtained many pills from the ancient Kunlun Mountains. Those pills contained incredible power, so I successfully cultivated them," Zhang Chen said, trying to fool the big black dog.

"Ancient Kunlun Mountain pills? How did you obtain them? Are there pills buried in the ancient Kunlun Mountain?" After hearing Zhang Chen's words, the big black dog muttered to himself as he stood there. But the next moment, he suddenly shuddered and raised his head to stare at Zhang Chen. He really remembered that there was a palace in ancient times, and perhaps there really were pills hidden inside the palace.

It thought of the traitor from that primordial world!
The Queen Mother of the West was the first to enter this world, and she spread false information to the outside world, deceiving all the ancient gods into the new world, where they were all trapped and died. The people hated the Queen Mother of the West so much that they wished they could tear her apart, skin her, grind her bones to dust.

I hate them to the extreme!

Moreover, Zhang Chen said that the place claimed to be Mount Kunlun and had a large quantity of elixirs; he could not think of anyone other than the Queen Mother of the West.

"You've found the Queen Mother of the West's hiding place?" The big black dog stared intently at Zhang Chen.

"Found it! With the help of the elixir in the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, I have mastered the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique," Zhang Chen said.

The big black dog bared its menacing teeth upon hearing this: "Have you dug up the remains of the Queen Mother of the West? Is that woman dead or not?"

As soon as the word "women" was uttered, Zhang Chen felt the atmosphere in his own icy hell freeze, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and his eyes stared at the big black dog, filled with disbelief: "This beast is so brave, it actually dares to call the Queen Mother of the West 'women'?"

The big black dog also sensed something unusual about the atmosphere. Its eyes darted around, filled with surprise: "Why does the air feel so cool? Can you feel it?"

Zhang Chen was speechless, staring at the big black dog, fearing that the Queen Mother of the West would tear open the icy hell with a slap and kill the dog.

"Have you found that woman's body yet?" The big black dog, oblivious to the change in Zhang Chen's expression, asked impatiently.

As he uttered the word "woman" again, that familiar chill descended once more. The next moment, the big black dog's tail suddenly caught fire, causing it to howl in agony as it opened its mouth and lunged at Zhang Chen's thigh.

This big black dog has a very strange innate ability. When Zhang Chen was faced with the big black dog's fierce bite, he did not dodge and was bitten directly by the big black dog.

"Why did you bite me again!" Zhang Chen angrily poked the big black dog's eyes.

"You brat, you actually set my tail on fire! I'll fight you to the death!" The big black dog cursed angrily, his voice filled with embarrassment.

Zhang Chen looked at the still-burning tail of the big black dog and knew that it was the Queen Mother of the West who had made her move, and that he had been misunderstood by the big black dog as having set its tail on fire.

"Get out of my way! Who set your tail on fire?!" Zhang Chen shouted angrily.

"There are only the two of us here. Who else could it be but you? Did I accidentally burn my own tail?" The big black dog bit down hard and refused to let go.

"If you don't back down and put out the fire, I'm going to have roasted dog meat tonight," Zhang Chen said, quite speechless.

Upon hearing this, the big black dog finally couldn't bear it any longer and could only helplessly loosen its grip, turning its head to extinguish the flames.

Zhang Chen glanced at the big black dog, his eyes sweeping over its bald, burnt-out tail, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You bastard, how dare you laugh! I'm not finished with you!" The big black dog, enraged by Zhang Chen's laughter, lunged at him again, but Zhang Chen grabbed its mouth: "Stupid dog, why would I set your tail on fire?"

The big black dog was stunned upon hearing this, staring blankly at Zhang Chen: "Yeah, he has no reason to attack my tail."

At this moment, the big black dog also sensed something was wrong, especially remembering the inexplicable chill it had felt earlier. A guilty look appeared in its eyes, and it dared not look at Zhang Chen. Its dog eyes looked into the distance, filled with a hint of horror, and it said calmly, "Have you found the body of the Queen Mother of the West? Now that Queen Mother of the West..."

Before the word "we" could be uttered, a familiar chill swept over the dog again, startling it so much that it quickly changed its words: "How is Your Majesty now? I miss you terribly and hope that Your Majesty is well."
