The bloodline of the Human Race contains the greatest secret in Heaven and Earth, born with wisdom, while the Demon Race is not the same. Even the offspring of Great Demons need the elders in their families to go to great lengths to find various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to awaken their wisdom after birth.
Later, a wise sage emerged in the Demon Race and came up with a clever plan, having Great Demons of the Demon Race directly utilize the bloodlines of the Human Race for reproduction. The offspring born could directly awaken wisdom and avoid the state of ignorance, then cultivate the Bloodline Dao, refining the ancestral purity of the bloodline, transforming from Human Demon to Half-demon, and eventually into a Demon Beast.
"Why is Chen Sanliang mingling with the Demon Race?" Zhang Chen saw Chen Sanliang's departing figure, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
But Zhang Chen quickly snapped back to reality; how Chen Sanliang acted was not his concern.
Zhang Chen gazed at Han Suzhen's grave, sighed deeply, and decided to leave Han Suzhen's body there, as Han Suzhen's body had been transformed by him into a stone sculpture, which could remain immortal for millions of years. Also, Zhang Chen currently had no stable place to reside, even if he collected Han Suzhen's body, he didn't know where to keep it.
After paying respects to Han Suzhen, Zhang Chen stepped lightly back to his old lair. Seeing the tens of thousands of giant hornets, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. The more hornets that gathered, the greater his support would be in the future.
He was not good at close combat, and if Prince Pingbian's Mansion besieged him in the future, he would have to let them taste the power of the hornets.
Zhang Chen fed the hornets and the Hunting Falcons, then returned to Goulan County to hide, waiting for news from Xie Lingyun.
In fact, Zhang Chen was not disappointed; Xie Lingyun brought news the next day.
Inside the inn
Zhang Chen was brewing tea for Xie Lingyun, and after brewing it, he poured a cup for Xie Lingyun: "As it happened, I have news about the terrain you wanted to investigate."
"Where is that terrain?" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
The God-Beating Whip was of great significance, as it was essential for his future livelihood and survival; how could he not take it seriously?
"Not far from the Empress Tomb, that Mr. Wuliu from Prince Pingbian's Mansion went mad, setting the mountain on fire. Previously, when I led the Inspection and Supervision Department to control the fire, I happened to see the terrain you wanted," Xie Lingyun said.
"Quick, take me to see it." Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with joy.
Xie Lingyun nodded upon hearing this: "Let's go now; we might catch a big show."
"A big show?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.
"The contention over that tree coffin and the Ancient Divine Demon's body is about to conclude. The Northern Land leader of the Inspection and Supervision Department has already invited experts from the court's royal family. Those court experts, carrying part of the Mysterious Power of a Twelfth Tier Divine Being, aimed to contest for that Supreme Creation. Although Prince Pingbian's Mansion has some foundation, it is still no match against the power of a Twelfth Tier Divine Being. I'll take you to see how Prince Pingbian's Mansion meets its misfortune. With their Transformation of Dragon and Walking Flood Dragon, they almost gained momentum. The court is enraged and insists on teaching Prince Pingbian's Mansion a lesson," Xie Lingyun's voice was full of pride.
The two left the city, climbing the great mountains again, observing the sky-covering flames in the distance. The smoke billowed, dyeing half the sky crimson, which was terrifying.
The two climbed a great mountain several dozen miles away and stood at the peak, overlooking the former mountain top of the Empress Tomb, now turned into ruins.
"Mr. Wuliu is insane! And so is Prince Pingbian's Mansion! Setting the mountain on fire like this, who knows how much of their fortune will be lost!" Xie Lingyun watched the soaring flames, a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Zhang Chen touched the flying sword in his sleeve that was suppressed by the Five-Colored Divine Light, feeling a bit guilty. Had he not taken Mr. Wuliu's flying sword, Mr. Wuliu wouldn't have been driven to desperation.
But his Five-Colored Divine Light was truly useful!
"Look, is that peculiar terrain you mentioned here? It truly seems strange. The Feng Shui Grand Array of the Empress Tomb was broken, yet around several hundred miles suffered calamities, with mountains either moving directly or cracking open. But this place remained unaffected, as if some Mysterious Power was guarding it," Xie Lingyun pointed to the mountain peak dozens of miles away and said to Zhang Chen.
From afar, Zhang Chen saw eight mountain peaks arranged according to the position of the Innate Eight Diagrams, resembling an Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram, looking quite peculiar.
"Indeed, this is the Innate Eight Diagrams location I wanted. This place contains the structure of an Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace, capable of utilizing underground fire to refine treasures. It's a rare Heaven and Earth Creation treasure refining site." Zhang Chen's eyes lit up upon seeing the terrain.
"But those are just eight big mountains. Even if it's the so-called Innate Eight Diagrams, how are you supposed to refine treasures?" Xie Lingyun asked curiously.
Zhang Chen replied with a smile: "This is the art of Qi Cultivation and Immortal Technique, an outsider cannot comprehend its mysteries."
"Qi Refining and Cultivating Immortality?" Xie Lingyun fell into thought: "I went back and studied Qi Refining texts, but could not find a way. Could it be that you're deceiving me? This art of Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation can't be fake, can it?"
Xie Lingyun felt this art of Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation was unreliable, merely a deceptive trick. Otherwise, why had she not been able to master it?
With her talent, she should have mastered even the most difficult cultivation techniques by now.
Zhang Chen glanced at Xie Lingyun: "When I refine treasures, sister, just observe, and you'll naturally know I'm not lying."
