I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 192: You Receive My Teachings, Prosperity Will Follow

Hou Tu, as expected of a twelfth-order deity, even after suffering severe injuries, still managed to heavily wound Lou.

After Lou fled, Hou Tu did not pursue. Instead, her figure flickered, and she floated before Zhang Chen, manifesting as a human form. Her eyes looked at Zhang Chen: "Lou was severely injured by me, but he knows I won't survive either. In three to five days, he will return to devour me..."

As she said this, Hou Tu was about to continue, but suddenly her figure shattered, leaving only the bead floating in the air.

At this moment, the divine light within the bead was restrained. The divine power that originally enveloped the entire tribe dissipated, and the divinity within the bead completely vanished.

"The god is dead! The god is dead!"

Upon seeing this, Chief Lei couldn't help but cry out in sorrow, his body softening as he knelt on the ground, a hint of fear in his eyes.

"The god is dead. What will become of the tribe? Without the god's protection, how can the tribe continue to survive in the crisis-ridden wilderness?" Lei's voice was filled with grief, and even the joy of defeating the Lou tribe had disappeared without a trace.

At this time, upon hearing the news, the Ape Tribe members all rushed over. Each of them looked at the dim 'Hou Tu' with terrified expressions, running from afar and kneeling on the ground, revealing a look of fear and unease.

"What will become of the Ape Tribe in the future? Without the protection of the god, how will the Ape Tribe resist the great terror in the darkness?"

At this moment, the Ape Tribe members felt despair. The Lou Tribe still had a living god, and the Lou Tribe would never let them go. If they could have chosen to rely on the Ape Tribe before this battle, after experiencing this battle, the two sides had formed an irreconcilable feud, and the Lou Tribe would definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult.

Moreover, if the god Lou came to take revenge in three days, who could resist?

As for relying on other tribes? Once captured by other tribes, they would likely only become slaves.

Despair filled the tribe. Countless men, women, and children knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with terror.

"Brother Zhang, what should we do now? You are a capable person, you must find a way to save everyone." The young man 'Di' walked out of the crowd at this time, his eyes looking at Zhang Chen, filled with pleading.

Zhang Chen's gaze swept over everyone, and he slowly stepped forward to 'Hou Tu', picking up the small sphere in his hand. The appearance of this small sphere was indeed exactly the same as the sphere he had obtained in the past.

"Don't cry anymore. Now that things have come to this, I do have a way that might allow the Ape Tribe to overcome the crisis." Zhang Chen stroked the small sphere, glanced over the faces of the sorrowful crowd, and said.

"You have a way?" Lei knew Zhang Chen's abilities and asked.

Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, the surrounding people also showed joy, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

Zhang Chen nodded and said to the young man 'Di' and Lei: "You two come with me."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen walked towards the temple.

The two followed Zhang Chen into the temple, and then they saw Zhang Chen holding the bead in his hand, standing under the altar, seemingly pondering something.

"Brother, what method do you have to help our tribe resolve the crisis?" The young man 'Di' couldn't help but ask, his voice filled with anticipation.

"The god Hou Tu was born from the power of faith of all living beings. Although Hou Tu is dead, her main body still possesses infinite divine power. If you can develop this divine power, wouldn't it be the same as Hou Tu being resurrected? At that time, whether it's pacifying the Lou tribe or beheading that god Lou, it will be a piece of cake for you," Zhang Chen said.

"How to stimulate the divine power, please enlighten us, Your Excellency," Lei said respectfully.

"Integrate this bead into your bodies, and use your own souls to replace the spirituality of the gods to dominate the power of this bead. In this way, you are the gods, and the gods are you," Zhang Chen said with a burning gaze.

"Wouldn't that be blasphemy? Not to mention whether it will succeed, if it fails, wouldn't we die under the wrath of the gods? No, absolutely not," Lei's body trembled in shock. Looking at the bead in Zhang Chen's hand, he dared not blaspheme the gods. The fear of the gods was directly engraved in the depths of his bones, and he dared not disobey in the slightest.

"Either you become gods, and then the tribe's crisis will naturally be resolved, or you wait for Lou to directly pacify you, and the entire Ape Tribe will completely disappear from the world. Choose for yourselves!" Zhang Chen said calmly.

"No, that is a supreme god. How can we mortals blaspheme the gods? We will be punished! We will be cursed by the gods," Lei's voice was filled with fear.

Unexpectedly, the young man 'Di' looked at Zhang Chen with a firm expression, his voice filled with determination: "Brother Zhang, can a human body truly become a god? Can it truly master the power of a god?"

"Of course, didn't I master the power of mystery with a mortal body?" Zhang Chen replied to the other party with certainty.

"Please teach me the secret method to master the power of the gods. I am willing to try," the young man 'Di' directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Chen.

"No! Blaspheming the gods will not end well," Lei quickly stopped him.

"For the tribe!" The young man 'Di' said in a sonorous voice, looking at Lei without flinching: "If we succeed, our Ape Tribe will usher in a new chapter. We can even hunt Lou and seize Lou's power. If we fail, I alone will bear all the consequences."

Lei was stunned upon hearing this, and then his body softened and he fell directly to the ground: "But have you ever thought that if we seize the power of the gods with a mortal body, once the news leaks out, it will definitely arouse the jealousy of the gods in the world. At that time, I'm afraid there will still be no place for us to stand."

"Wouldn't it be enough if the news didn't leak out?" A touch of determination appeared in the young man 'Di's eyes: "Rather than worrying about being attacked by the gods, it is better to think about how to get through tonight. If we can't get through tonight, then the Ape Tribe will disappear forever in Zhaoyao Mountain, and no trace will be left."

Lei was silent upon hearing this. The young man 'Di' looked at Zhang Chen, his eyes filled with sincerity: "Brother, please."

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, and then put the stone ball in the young man's hand: "Listen carefully, I will now teach you the method to master the power of the gods."

How to communicate and master mystery, there is actually no specific method in the material world. It all depends on chance, waiting for the mystery to automatically recognize its owner. But Zhang Chen is a Qi Refiner, and now he has mastered the key to essence, qi, and spirit, and he also possesses magic power. He has some of his own experience on how to make mystery actively recognize its owner.

Since magic power can refine mystery, what about qi and blood?

Lei consciously retreated from the courtyard at this time, leaving only Zhang Chen and the young man 'Di' in the temple. Zhang Chen began to guide 'Di' on how to obtain the approval of mystery.

In reality, Zhang Chen's idea was very simple. The 'earth' had already tempered its blood energy, and this blood energy contained its soul and mysterious power. All he needed to do was pour the power of blood energy into the stone ball, stimulating it back and forth, leaving his own essence, energy, and spirit imprint within the stone ball, and the matter would be accomplished.

Moreover, Zhang Chen had another method, which was the secret technique of Qi Refiners. He could impart the Qi Refiner's secret technique, assisting the young man in refining this twelfth-order mystery and seizing its power.

Logically speaking, the Qi Refiner's secret method steals the creation of heaven and earth, and the secrets of ghosts and gods, which would be resented by the gods. But what if it was the twelfth-order mystery before him, which had lost its spirituality?

Zhang Chen taught him the basic incantation of the first heaven of Qi Refining, changing the act of seizing the essence of the sun and moon into seizing the essence of the mystery before him. When the essence of the mystery flowed into the young 'earth's' body, wouldn't a connection between the two be established?

The young 'earth's' talent was very high, higher than Zhang Chen had imagined. As Zhang Chen imparted the incantation, in just half a day, a strand of blood energy within his body actually transformed into a strand of mana. Then, the young man performed the exercises according to Zhang Chen's incantation.

By the time the morning sun rose on the second day, the young man was already enveloped in a layer of earth-yellow light. The stone ball floated up, hovering around the young man's body.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Chen thought to himself, "It's done! But how much power the young earth can unleash will depend on his own good fortune."

When mortals fuse with mystery, because their physical bodies are not strong enough, they need to constantly adapt to the mystery's transformation, as their physical strength continuously increases. But 'earth' is a strongman who has tempered his blood energy, so naturally he cannot be compared to ordinary people. Moreover, earth also seizes the essence of the round ball and integrates it into his body. The tacit understanding and harmony between the two is unmatched even by martial arts grandmasters who have seen the spirits in the material world.

As earth's aura became increasingly intertwined with the small ball, the small ball pulsed with earth's breathing. Finally, it transformed into a stream of light and flew into his nose and mouth, disappearing without a trace.

However, earth did not awaken, but continued to sit in meditation. As time passed, the light on earth's body grew stronger and stronger, so much so that even the great sun in the sky could not conceal it. Until noon, earth opened his eyes from meditation, looked excitedly at Zhang Chen, who was enjoying the cool air under the eaves, and ran to Zhang Chen in front of him, trembling with excitement, tears welling up in his eyes. He knelt directly on the ground with a 'plop', and tears streamed down his cheeks: "Big brother, I succeeded! I succeeded!"

"What level?" Zhang Chen helped the young 'earth' up, a smile on his face.

"Third level!" Earth excitedly held out three fingers.

Earth was still a teenager, and his body and bones were relatively fragile and not fully developed. The third level was already good.

"But it's still not enough against a heavily injured Lou," Zhang Chen said.

Hearing this, the young earth's expression became serious: "Why don't we migrate the tribe? With my power to protect the tribe, it shouldn't be a problem to survive for a while. After a few years, when my cultivation improves, it won't be too late to come back for revenge."

"How can human power outrun the power of a god?" Zhang Chen said. "You go out first, and I'll think of another way."

"Big brother, you are my benefactor, the benefactor of my tribe, little brother…little brother…" At this time, 'earth' was filled with excitement and didn't know what to say.

"Go! Don't disturb my thinking." Zhang Chen waved his hand at the young man.

The young 'earth' thanked him profusely and retreated. After walking out of the temple, he saw his father, Lei, pacing back and forth in front of the temple gate, carving a gully into the ground.

Hearing the door open, Lei quickly turned around and looked over, a look of nervousness in his eyes: "How is it? How did it go?"

"I succeeded! I have now also mastered the power of the gods, and can be considered a god." Earth's voice was filled with suppressed excitement. To become a god with a mortal body was something that mortals dared not imagine.

Inside the temple.

Zhang Chen thought about it, but couldn't come up with a proper solution. If he set up his Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array, he was afraid that Lou wouldn't take the bait.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chen felt that he should ask the Great自在天魔 for advice. Then, with a wave of his palm, he saw the petals left by the Great自在天魔 fly out, revealing the appearance of the Great自在天魔:

"What's the matter with you summoning me out again?"

Zhang Chen explained the matter of the Ape Tribe. Hearing this, the Great自在天魔 frowned: "Hou Tu is a twelfth-order god, but Lou is only a seventh-order god. After suffering Hou Tu's peak strike, not only will his divinity be severely damaged, but I'm afraid his body will also be damaged, and his level will also drop. But that kid only has the power of the third level, so going there would just be sending him to his death. If you take the initiative, you might have a chance to suppress him with the Immobilization Talisman."

"Moreover, that guy is a god with intelligence. If you set up the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Array, as long as the other party isn't stupid, he will never actively drill into it. And his level is seventh-order, so your stealth technique can't get close at all, and naturally the Immobilization Talisman can't be attached. In case this guy is like Hou Tu and ends up in a lose-lose situation, you kid might die."

The Great自在天魔 continued to analyze for Zhang Chen.

"Does that mean we can only choose to migrate the tribe?" Zhang Chen frowned, but where could they migrate the tribe to? If a god chased after them, the ordinary people of the tribe probably wouldn't be able to outrun him.

"You kid is lucky. This old ancestor has settled things over there. As long as you and I cooperate to take down that creation, a mere seventh-order god is not worth mentioning." The Great自在天魔 looked at Zhang Chen:

"Come with me, let's go to Mount Buzhou to seize that creation."

"Mount Buzhou?" Hearing this familiar name, Zhang Chen couldn't help but be stunned again. Was it the Mount Buzhou he knew?

"Mount Buzhou is the pillar supporting the sky. The region where Mount Zhaoyao is located, Southern Mountain, is actually south of Mount Buzhou." The Great自在天魔 said, "Quickly transform into a bat and follow me on our journey. Hopefully, by the time Lou arrives, we can take out the treasure and suppress him."

"How far is Mount Buzhou from here?"

Zhang Chen asked.

"Eight thousand miles." The Great自在天魔 said.

"You want me to fly eight thousand miles, are you looking down on me too much?" Zhang Chen was very speechless. Even if he transformed into a vampire bat, he couldn't fly eight thousand miles in two or three days, could he?

"Originally, you wouldn't be able to fly eight thousand miles in a day, but I happen to know a way to fly eight thousand miles." At this time, the Great自在天魔 began to play coy.

"Secret technique?" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up.
