This is a kind of intuition that comes from Zhang Chen’s heart.
"Is there a mysterious material crossing the boundary, coming from the spiritual world to the material realm? This process requires massive energy, and where does the energy come from? First, it’s my magical power. Once my magical power is exhausted, it starts extracting my skill’s divine power and skill origin. If it still can’t materialize, the skill will accompany the law origin and completely dissipate into nothingness." Zhang Chen had a suspicion in his mind. Seeing the second skill dropping from third-tier Dragon Qi to second-tier, and even rapidly collapsing towards the first-tier, Zhang Chen pondered ways to resolve this dilemma.
For Zhang Chen, the second skill, Dragon Qi, is crucial, and the Beast Taming skill cannot be lost either. Although its use isn’t evident in one-on-one duels, if he ever has to contend with Prince Pingbian’s mansion’s army in the future, this Beast Taming skill would absolutely be a divine skill for him.
"The spiritual world and the material world are two different worlds. Manifesting an object from one world into another requires tremendous energy. Previously, when I was transporting the Jade Dew Flower, it only consumed a bit of magical power. This time there was such a big flaw; it seems the problem lies with that mysterious Jade Token. That Jade Token is definitely not simple; no wonder that big dog carries it around." Zhang Chen continuously deduced various clues in his mind.
"Now, if I want to preserve my second skill and bring items out of the spiritual world, I need a significant amount of energy." Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Finger interface where he had painstakingly collected millions of points these past few days.
Isn’t it just energy?
In the next moment, Zhang Chen directly clicked on the second skill, upgrading the Dragon Qi. As soon as the Dragon Qi was upgraded, it was drained by the Fox Spirit. Fortunately, Zhang Chen clicked fast enough, maintaining the Fox Spirit’s consumption while keeping an eye on the points being consumed.
However, this cross-dimensional materialization of items consumed an excessively large amount of points. Thirty breaths later, the millions of points were completely exhausted, yet the Fox Fairy Nannan had still not appeared.
Zhang Chen was a bit anxious at this moment, with millions of points exhausted. Where could he find energy now?
In the stone cave, Zhang Chen was frantic, seeing the points continuously deplete. The second skill, which he had upgraded to third-tier, was about to fall again. Zhang Chen’s gaze fell on the splendid Power of Faith on the wall.
Without thinking, Zhang Chen immediately summoned the innate mosquito proboscis, embedding it in the wall. He saw the Power of Faith being voraciously swallowed, transforming into mysterious energy to fill the gap of magical power consumed by the Fox Fairy Nannan.
However, Zhang Chen’s speed of devouring the Power of Incense was too slow; he simply couldn’t absorb enough Incense Faith in time. Seeing the situation becoming more and more critical, just as the second skill was about to fall from third-tier again, he suddenly saw a distortion in the void in front of him, and the Fox Fairy Nannan appeared before him.
As soon as she appeared, the Fox Fairy Nannan began to complain: "Zhang Chen, what kind of weird thing is this Jade Token? Why is it so heavy? I almost couldn’t hold on and almost threw it into the void."
The voice of the Fox Fairy Nannan was filled with discontent. Zhang Chen ignored her complaints, instead fixing his eyes on the Jade Token in her hand. At the next moment, with a thought, the Jade Token, carried by the Fox Fairy Nannan, landed in Zhang Chen’s hand.
This Jade Token seemed different from its form in the spiritual world. In the material realm, the divine light on the Jade Token had diminished, becoming more restrained and possessing an indescribable real sense.
"This flower is for you; I’m leaving." The Fox Fairy Nannan tossed the Golden Wind Flower onto Zhang Chen’s lap, and in the next moment, she slipped out through the cave.
The soul did not possess the ability to traverse the material realm; the soul of the Fox Fairy Nannan could not pass through the cave, having to move out through the gaps.
Zhang Chen didn’t mind the departure of the Fox Fairy Nannan. Instead, he lowered his head and carefully examined the Jade Token in his hand. After a moment of observation, he found no peculiarities within the Jade Token. There were no patterns on either the front or back of the Jade Token.
"Hmm?" Zhang Chen scrutinized the Jade Token intently, pondering for a long time with no results. He then summoned the Great Freedom Celestial Demon: "Do you know any mysteries about this Jade Token?"
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon glanced at the Jade Token, then lazily said, "You could try imbuing it with magical power."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen complied, channeling his body’s magical power into the Jade Token. The next moment, a shimmering glow appeared from the Jade Token, followed by crystal-clear characters emerging from it. These characters danced in the air like butterflies among flowers, forming a passage of immortal Dao text.
Zhang Chen read the passage word by word: "’Mountain-moving Technique of the Powerful Warrior,’ this Divine Technique cultivates the body, aiming to cultivate the strength of the flesh. Once mastered, it grants the power to carry mountains and speed the moon."
"Is it really this technique?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon on the side glanced and exclaimed in surprise.
"You’ve heard of it?" Zhang Chen lifted his gaze from the incantation and turned to the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, curiously asking. This old thing’s origins were mysterious, so it wouldn’t be surprising if it knew about the Mountain-moving Technique of the Powerful Warrior.
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon replied, "Of course, I’ve heard of this technique. It’s rumored that this technique is an esoteric secret of a certain sect. If combined with the ’Profound Technique Transformation’ and ’Giant Heaven Opening,’ two supreme techniques, they could form a supreme Dao: the ’Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.’"
"Nine Revolutions Profound Skill?" Zhang Chen’s pupils shrank, and his eyes were filled with shock. Was this Nine Revolutions Profound Skill the same one he had heard about?
It was the highest incantation of the Daoist Sect, reportedly inherited from Pangu the Great God, summarized by the Daoist Trinity from Pangu’s Legacy memories into the supreme technique.
If combined with the Eight-Nine Profound Skill of the Witch Race, it might achieve aspirations toward the legendary true form of Pangu.
"You’ve heard of this incantation?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon looked at him in surprise. If he had heard of the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, it would be reasonable, but for Zhang Chen to have heard of it meant this young lad was somewhat extraordinary.
"I’ve heard of it by chance." At this point, Zhang Chen’s gaze was intense as he looked at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon: "Where can the other two cultivation techniques be obtained?"
"How would I know where to obtain them?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon retorted angrily: "If I knew, I would have stolen them long ago; how could you have a chance?"
Zhang Chen thought this fellow made a valid point.
"Tell me about the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill you mentioned." Zhang Chen’s gaze was piercing as he looked at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon.
Hearing this, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon was not secretive: "It’s said this profound skill is the technique of body ascension. Once mastered, it grants unfathomable powers. It can transform infinitely, control Creation, open the cosmos, and invert Yin and Yang to harmonize fire and water, possessing incredible abilities and power."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen pondered, gently tapping the Jade Token. Based on the description alone, he couldn’t determine if this Nine Revolutions Profound Skill was the one he had heard of in his previous life.
In his understanding, all Divine Techniques cultivated to a high state would have the power to destroy the heavens and earth and the ability to move stars and change constellations.
"Forget it, there’s no use thinking about it. Most importantly, I need to first master the Mountain-moving Technique of the Powerful Warrior." Zhang Chen looked at the text on the Jade Token, reviewing it several times before recording it down and starting to ponder it deeply.
This Mountain-moving Technique of the Powerful Warrior, though called a profound technique, primarily manifests as a Divine Technique. It requires cultivating a total of 48,000 symbols, which are then placed in the 48,000 acupoints throughout the body when the time comes, granting the power to move mountains and change constellations.
However, this profound technique only cultivates the power of the flesh, not the realm, not seeking the Dao but only Divine Technique prowess. It cannot extend life or bring immortality but is unparalleled among the Mystic Sect’s unconventional techniques.
If cultivated to great success, even if the Daluo Immortals descended, one could still stand their ground.
"To cultivate this Divine Technique, one also needs a Curious Stone as the foundation and anchor for the innate Divine Techniques. The first fundamental symbol seed is to be engraved on this Curious Stone, using it as a basis and anchor to continuously cultivate 48,000 symbols. This way, some drawbacks in the cultivation process can be avoided. The quality of the innate stone determines the future height of the cultivation." Zhang Chen gradually comprehended some key points at this point.
To cultivate this Divine Technique, it’s not simply about possessing the cultivation technique; one must be able to cultivate the 48,000 symbols, which depends on the foundation for anchoring the symbols. Whether it has the power to carry the 48,000 symbols is crucial.
If the innate stone can only carry a thousand symbols, and over a thousand would cause it to explode, it would naturally be impossible to cultivate to great success and perfection.
