The Great Freedom Celestial Demon laughed at this thought. He, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, was born invincible, always restraining others. When had it ever been someone else’s turn to restrain him?
Zhang Chen’s Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing mark, he had thought about it countless times, but could never figure out a way to break it.
Now, seeing Zhang Chen recklessly exhausting his own lifespan, within a mere four years, Zhang Chen would definitely be unable to break the great lifespan limit, leading him only to death. The Great Freedom Celestial Demon thought about this and immediately felt delighted.
Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, who was gloating over his misfortune, and said unhurriedly, "You seem to be happy too soon. Don’t forget, there’s still the Tree of Life Coffin."
The Great Freedom Celemon’s smile froze, and then he immediately drooped his head, quickly changing his tune: "Actually, even if you exhaust your lifespan, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can step into the mythical Thirtieth Heaven, you can find the legendary Peach Garden. Perhaps there are still Peaches of Immortality alive there. The lowest Peach of Immortality blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and matures every three thousand years. Eating one makes the body light and healthy, extending life by three thousand years. The medium kind bears fruit every six thousand years, blooms every six thousand years, matures every six thousand years. Consuming it allows one to soar with the clouds, breaking through shackles, and directly stepping into the Twelfth Tier. There are even those that mature every nine thousand years, bloom every nine thousand years, and bear fruit every nine thousand years. Eating one grants eternal life, equalling the heavens, and gains the power of the fruit."
"According to you, if the Peaches of Immortality are so miraculous, the beings that consume them should still be alive, right? So why are they all nowhere to be found now?" Zhang Chen directly pressed on the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s sore spot.
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon pondered without speaking, and only after a moment said, "People have various diseases, and immortal beings naturally have their own longevity diseases. If the longevity disease cannot be cured, it’s just like mortals falling ill. Even if their bodies are strong and not yet at their limit, they will die young due to illness."
"Longevity disease?" Zhang Chen was curious at these words.
"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen refrained from rambling with the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, instead capturing him. Now, as Zhang Chen’s understanding of these old beings deepens, he becomes more wary of them.
"The Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s blood counts as one type. Now, I’d consider it gathered four types. Next, in the battle of Godslayer, when the Water God is slaughtered, I can also collect blood. Moreover, if strong beings from bloodline families arrive, there will surely be bloodshed, right? I wonder if the blood of those bloodline families will do." Zhang Chen thought to himself.
He thought of the Fox Fairy Nannan, uncertain if she could make contributions.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohua was wandering in the Daoist Temple today, pondering the future developments in the Northern Land. Suddenly a sound came from the weeds in the corner, causing Zhang Xiaohua’s heart to jolt. He quickly turned his head to look, only to see a red-furred fox showing its head, looking at him with wide, innocent eyes.
At first sight of the red-furred fox, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, as if struck by lightning. Although the fur color had changed, when their eyes met, he felt a stir in his heart. This was his white-furred fox: "Are you the Fox Divine Lady?"
Somehow, upon seeing the red-furred fox, he immediately felt that the Fox Divine Lady had come for him.
Especially upon seeing the fox’s subtle actions, which were exactly like those of his Fox Divine Lady, his heart grew more excited, and he immediately confirmed, this was indeed his Fox Divine Lady.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua recognized her, the Fox Fairy Nannan ran out from the weeds and directly pounced into Zhang Xiaohua’s arms.
Time slowly passed, accompanied by Zhang Chen’s theft of Power of Incense, the incense power accumulated in the Pool of Faith of the Daoist Temple slowed down, but the Great Virtuous Master had already secluded himself, leaving Gu Mingyue to handle the situation alone. Even if she sensed something was amiss, she couldn’t identify anything unusual.
Zhang Chen, tirelessly stealing Power of Incense day and night, caused the date for Huangli Temple to confer the Divine Spirit to be endlessly postponed. In the blink of an eye, five days passed, and Zhang Chen had accumulated ten million points.
Gathering ten million points in just five days, it was as rewarding as Zhang Chen excavating a large tomb.
Zhang Chen decided not to waste points on those skills that required millions to upgrade. Instead, he planned to first upgrade those skills that didn’t cost as many points, perhaps expecting unexpected gains in the future.
Zhang Chen scrutinized the skills with higher upgrade cost-effectiveness:
[11 Skill (Sixth Tier): Invisibility Rune (0/1600000)]
[12 Skill (Sixth Tier): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/128000)]
[15 Skill (First Tier): Hard Earth Talisman (0/4000)]
Zhang Chen temporarily excluded the Invisibility Rune. Even if it were upgraded to the Seventh Tier, in the forthcoming Divine Enthronement battle, there would definitely be Yang God Level interventions, making his Seventh Tier Invisibility Rune seemingly useless.
Then Zhang Chen set his eyes on the Fire Extinguishing Rune and Hard Earth Talisman. Ultimately, his gaze focused on the Fire Extinguishing Rune. Now that the Fire Extinguishing Rune was already at the Sixth Tier, barring any accidents, he could easily upgrade it to Perfection, thus becoming immune to all fire attacks – a true trump card.
Thinking about this, Zhang Chen didn’t hesitate and directly upgraded the Fire Extinguishing Rune:
[12 Skill (Sixth Tier): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/128000)]
[12 Skill (Seventh Tier): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/256000)]
...
[12 Skill (Eleventh Tier): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/4096000)]
[12 Skill (Twelfth Tier): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/8192000)]
