I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

But before the peacock could finish speaking, its expression changed drastically again. The black lotus that had been severed in its spiritual world had unexpectedly sprung back into existence.

At this moment, a great crisis, great fear, and great panic arose in its heart, and the tranquil lake of its mind, which had been calm for billions of years, was once again stirred into a monstrous wave.

However, the peacock did not know that the more it feared, the stronger the power the Great自在Heavenly Devil would gain, and the more powerful the means of the Great自在Heavenly Devil would become. Once the Great自在Heavenly Devil took root, it would be impossible to remove it unless its heart was free from all thoughts and devoid of the seven emotions and six desires, such as greed, anger, and delusion. But if one had no emotions, what difference would there be between a person and a stone?

Seeing that the light protecting its body was dimming, and it would probably be breached in less than an hour, and that its soul was being invaded by an unknown force, a look of determination appeared in the peacock's eyes: "Kid, our grudge is set. Don't let me find you, or I will surely make you die without a burial."

"Do you think you can escape today..." Zhang Chen responded mockingly to the peacock's words, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the peacock disappear from the spot out of thin air, leaving only five feathers of different colors slowly floating in the Yellow Sand Formation.

"How is that possible! Is my Nine Curves Yellow River Talisman Array just for show? It actually let him escape?" Zhang Chen was shocked to see this, and carefully sensed the entire array. The peacock had indeed escaped.

The next moment, a sense of foreboding arose in Zhang Chen's heart. If the peacock escaped, wouldn't he be the one to die? His Yellow River Array couldn't withstand the peacock outside!

"Don't be alarmed. That guy is crippled! Although he didn't have his cultivation crippled by your Nine Curves Yellow River Array, he is definitely crippled." At this time, a black petal appeared next to Zhang Chen, transforming into the image of the Great自在Heavenly Devil, and came to the five feathers: "This is the peacock's origin, the location of billions of years of cultivation, and also the Dao fruit it condensed. It is condensed from the essence of the five elements of the Innate, and possesses incredible mysteries. The peacock severed its Innate five elements and billions of years of cultivation to escape from your Nine Curves Yellow River Array. Are you still not satisfied?"

Anyway, the Great自在Heavenly Devil was quite satisfied. Now that the peacock's cultivation had been cut off and turned into an ordinary peacock, it was the best time for him to act.

"Are you saying the peacock crippled its own cultivation?" Zhang Chen stopped the sky full of yellow sand, a look of excitement in his eyes. If he went to chase that peacock and sucked its blood, he wondered if his blood-sucking technique would have new changes.

"Don't even think about it. How could that old peacock give you a chance to kill him? That fellow has already used his last strength to escape into the starry sky. Unless you have mastered the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, how can you catch up with him? Moreover, cleaning up the mess and obtaining all the good fortune is the most important thing right now," said the Great自在Heavenly Devil.

Zhang Chen was disappointed when he heard this: "I have formed a great karma with him. If this old guy escapes, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

"What are you afraid of? That old peacock severed its origin and can only recover by entering the demonic path. At that time, it will definitely be controlled by me. That old boy will be our golden thug in the future," the Great自在Heavenly Devil comforted Zhang Chen with a smile.

Now that things had come to this, Zhang Chen only hoped that the Great自在Heavenly Devil could be reliable, so as not to cause any trouble for him in the future.

"What are these feathers for?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The five feathers can be combined to form the light of the five elements, which can brush away the objects of the five elements of heaven and earth. However, these feathers have been invaded by the Nine Curves Yellow River Array and are in a terrible state. Their power is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. In the future, you can only use mana to refine and nurture them to gradually restore their power," said the Great自在Heavenly Devil.

"Can brush away objects of the five elements? Isn't this a pirated version of the Five Colors Divine Light?" Zhang Chen was immediately excited when he thought of the power of the Five Colors Divine Light in the novel. As he spoke, Zhang Chen wanted to pick up the feathers, but he couldn't pick them up, and he couldn't even move them.

"Don't look at these as just five feathers, but each feather weighs as much as a mountain. Today, we occupied the right time and place to capture that fellow and make him suffer a great loss. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if one of his feathers smashed down, your great array would immediately disintegrate," said the Great自在Heavenly Devil from the side.

Zhang Chen's eyes looked at the Great自在Heavenly Devil, his eyes revealing displeasure. The feathers were good, but he couldn't lift them, so what was the point?

"Refine them with mana and wash away the peacock's aura, and then these five feathers will be yours," the Great自在Heavenly Devil knew what Zhang Chen's eyes meant and quickly said.

"I see." Zhang Chen heard this and quickly circulated his mana, pouring it into one of the feathers. However, as soon as his mana entered the feather, he saw a powerful force in the feather repelling him. If Zhang Chen's mana was like a firefly, then the other party's mana was like a bright moon, and in an instant, it shattered Zhang Chen's mana, completely without any resistance.

Zhang Chen knew that it was the peacock's essence, energy, and spirit imprint. It was like hitting a stone with an egg to touch the peacock's essence, energy, and spirit imprint with his mana.

How could the Great自在Heavenly Devil not know Zhang Chen's difficulty? He quickly said from the side: "You're stupid. With your weak mana, why compete with the peacock's spiritual will? Just use the Nine Curves Yellow River Array to wash it."

"If I use the Nine Curves Yellow River Array to wash these five feathers, even if I really master these feathers, how much power will be left in my hands? I'm afraid they will have become ordinary objects," Zhang Chen glared at the Great自在Heavenly Devil unhappily.

"Even if only the Innate origin is left after washing, wouldn't it be good to slowly cultivate them again? You have plenty of time, what are you afraid of? This is the origin of the five Innate essences, and it is also a combined origin. I'm afraid this is the only one in the world," the Great自在Heavenly Devil persuaded from the side.

Zhang Chen felt suffocated when he heard this, but he also knew that what the Great自在Heavenly Devil said was reasonable. If he didn't use the Nine Curves Yellow River Array to wash away the peacock's will, then the peacock could summon them back at will, and he wouldn't get anything.

Just as Zhang Chen was preparing to use the Nine Curves Yellow River Talisman Array to refine the feathers, his golden finger finally reacted:

【Discovered dropped skill fragments, do you want to pick them up?】

Zhang Chen looked at the prompt on the golden finger's panel, and a look of great joy appeared in his eyes. His golden finger had come at the right time. The most important thing was that Zhang Chen seemed to have discovered a new way to obtain skills.

"Pick up!" Zhang Chen picked them up without thinking.

The next moment, in the dumbfounded eyes of the Great自在Heavenly Devil, he saw the five feathers twist for a while, turning into five colored streams of air and pouring into Zhang Chen's body.

"Holy crap! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! How did you pick up five feathers?" The Great自在Heavenly Devil's worldview was completely overturned by the scene before him. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

"This is weird! Too weird! Why? This is just unreasonable! Utterly unreasonable!" The Great自在Heavenly Devil was on the verge of collapse. Zhang Chen was shattering his understanding of the world time and time again. This kid's existence was a complete trampling of the laws of heaven and earth!

Zhang Chen ignored the Great自在Heavenly Devil's shouting and instead looked at his own golden finger:

[17 Skills (First Order): Five-Colored Divine Light (0/0)]

[The first-order coverage area is one meter, and the skill range increases with the Qi training level]

[Note 1: Can brush away all five elements of mystery, weapons are not included!]

[Note 2: Innate skill, level cannot be improved]

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the skill's golden finger introduction. This skill couldn't be improved? This was the first time he had encountered a divine power that was directly at max level.

This was similar to a conceptual skill. As long as the five elements of mystery were brushed by him, they would fall.

It was just that whether Zhang Chen could suppress it after it fell would depend on his ability.

"The power and the level of mana are combined?" Zhang Chen looked at his own Qi training level. He was only at the sixth level of Qi training, barely an entry, but even so, he could still establish incredible feats at critical moments.

Right now, he was only at the entry level, so he could only brush away the mystery within one meter of him.

"It seems that the cultivation of mana is very important and must be improved as soon as possible," Zhang Chen said to himself.

"How did you do it?" The Great自在Heavenly Devil looked at Zhang Chen with shock and disbelief in his eyes.

"I naturally have my own methods," Zhang Chen said with a smug smile.

"This is just damn weird." The Great自在Heavenly Devil's mentality was about to explode. This was simply unreasonable.

"I have a question. Since this five-element light can brush away all five-element objects, then my yellow sand also belongs to the five elements, right? Why didn't the peacock's five-element light block it?" Zhang Chen asked, puzzled.

"Is your yellow sand really a five-element object?" The Great自在Heavenly Devil asked after hearing Zhang Chen's words.

Zhang Chen was stunned and grabbed the yellow sand, saying, "What else could this be if not a five-element object?"

"These are all runes, but they are displayed in the form of yellow sand. That peacock must have felt suffocated when he fell into your hands. To think he had heaven-penetrating methods, but he couldn't use them in your great formation. He failed inexplicably this time and a psychological shadow has been born in his heart, and a inner demon exists," the Great自在Heavenly Devil babbled on at this time.

Zhang Chen suddenly understood upon hearing this. He had a rune array. The yellow sand that filled the sky seemed to be yellow sand, but its essence was all talismans.

Zhang Chen stretched out his palm, and five different-colored lights appeared vertically in his palm. Then, the five lights twisted and turned into five different-colored feathers.

The feathers were only a foot long and looked very delicate, like exquisite works of art. The hairs on them were arranged according to some mysterious heaven and earth texture, which made people fall into them at a glance.

"Innate five elements essence!" The Great自在Heavenly Devil leaned his head over, drooling as he looked at the five feathers.

The five feathers turned into five rays of light and brushed against the yellow sand in front of him, but the yellow sand remained motionless and did not react at all.

"The peacock lost unjustly," Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Zhang Chen put away the Five-Colored Divine Light and turned to look at the black and white light in the nest: "What level of treasure is this? How do I collect it?"

"This thing has not yet matured, it's a pity to pick it now." A look of reluctance appeared in the Great自在Heavenly Devil's eyes, and it could be seen that he liked this treasure very much.

"If it is picked out now, it can only be comparable to the seventh level. This thing has great potential, and its future potential will not be worse than that of the peacock and the Eastern Emperor. Taking it away now is equivalent to premature death," said the Great自在Heavenly Devil.

"How long does it need to be nurtured?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It should be born in thirty to fifty thousand years," said the Great自在Heavenly Devil.

"This place is not suitable to stay for long, who knows if that peacock has any other tricks." Zhang Chen said, "Moreover, by the time it matures, my bones will have rotted away. And didn't you say that I can't take this treasure away either? What's the difference between taking it early and taking it late? Taking it away now can also resolve the crisis of the Ape Tribe, and I can take the opportunity to gain the trust of the Ape Tribe and explore the Tomb of the Emperor's Daughter."

"Besides, didn't you just say that it can be nurtured and cultivated with mana?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在Heavenly Devil.

"If you want to nurture it with mana, I'm afraid it will take hundreds of millions of years. How can a mortal like you live for so long?" The Great自在Heavenly Devil said here, looking at Zhang Chen with hesitant eyes, but finally chose to shut up.

"I can't wait that long, so let's just take it," Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在Heavenly Devil: "How should this thing be collected?"

"Have you thought about it?" The Great自在Heavenly Devil couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I have," Zhang Chen said.

"If you want to take this treasure, it is not difficult to say it is not difficult, and it is not easy to say it is simple. It is very difficult for others, but it is very easy for you, especially now that you have mastered the peacock's skills. If you want to take the treasure away, it is even simpler..." The Great自在Heavenly Devil talked nonsense to delay time, thinking about how to make Zhang Chen give up the idea of taking it away early.

"Just tell me the method!!!" Zhang Chen was impatient: "I think your skin is itchy, what are you doing going around and around here?"

"Are you really not going to consider it anymore? If you leave the treasure here, I can watch it for you here. When the treasure matures, I will take it out and send it to you. The flow rate of the spiritual world is different from the outside world. Maybe a hundred years have passed outside, but tens of thousands of years have already passed here," the Great自在Heavenly Devil wanted to continue to fight for it.

Zhang Chen ignored him: "Quickly tell me the method, if you don't tell me the method, I'm going to attack the peacock and directly hook out the seeds you have rooted in."

When the Great自在Heavenly Devil saw that Zhang Chen was determined to take the treasure away, he sighed helplessly in his heart: "Could it be that destiny cannot be changed after all?"

"It is also simple if you want to take this thing away. This thing is the innate yin and yang essence, and you have obtained the innate five elements essence. As the saying goes: Chaos gives birth to yin and yang, and yin and yang give birth to the five elements. You only need to mobilize the five elements of Qi to seduce it a little, and this thing will be seduced by you and fall into your hands. It's just that leaving this innate creation place, its gestation process will be broken, and it will be extremely difficult to evolve in the future. Either nurture it with mana, or cultivate divinity with a large amount of incense, and then use divinity to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, and then use 'fruit' to complete oneself."
