The present Five Villages Temple is already considered the Earth Immortal Dao, following the Earth Immortal Path.
And the Qi Cultivation Technique of the Five Villages Temple is inherited from Immortals, who come from the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Spiritual World...
Zhang Chen seemed to grasp a faint thread of this. Everything points to the Thirty-Three Heavens, where even the peacock refers to it as the Immortal Realm. It must be the origin of Qi Cultivators.
Could it be that after slaying all divine spirits on Earth, someone founded the Qi Cultivation Technique and entered the Thirty-Three Heavens to cultivate?
Zhang Chen didn't quite believe that the Martial Dao he taught could have such heaven-defying power. If someone truly comprehended Qi Cultivation Technique and mastered the ways of it, gathering the mighty powers of a myriad of divine spirits, then such abilities would be understandable.
As Zhang Chen pondered, he heard that the peacock wanted to restore the Innate Five Elements Qi by borrowing his Innate Five Elements Origin, which made him cautiously ponder, "This old guy doesn't plan to trick me, like throwing a meat bun to a dog where it never returns, does he?"
"If you could lend me the Five Elements Origin, I could swiftly regain my strength, and then I could kill the Ancestral Master of Longevity. Making you a true disciple of the Daoist Temple, immortality would not be difficult. What do you think?" At this moment, the Innate Peacock's words were full of temptation, staring at Zhang Chen with eyes as sincere as can be.
Zhang Chen pondered briefly and then chose to agree with the other party, for his Golden Finger had already sensed something. As the Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill activated, the marking ability began to manifest:
[Target capable of marking discovered, do you wish to mark?]
Zhang Chen looked at the interface with joy, his eyes filled with a hint of peculiarity. Since he could mark the other party and hook their soul, why fear being reneged?
If the other party dared to renege, he would have to let them know why flowers are so red.
This Inverted Yin and Yang technique was indeed highly alluring to Zhang Chen. If he could master this Divine Technique, the means he'd have against foes would be countless in the future.
"Alright, I agree to your terms, then this Jade Plate belongs to me." Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Having said that, Zhang Chen opened his mouth, and then you could see the Ba Snake Space under his tongue open, swallowing the Jade Plate in one gulp.
The Inverted Yin and Yang could definitely be ranked in the top three even among the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits, and Zhang Chen felt he had truly profited.
"Kid, now that you've got what you want, how will you rescue me out of here?" The Innate Peacock said, eyes burning as they looked at Zhang Chen.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen smiled: "That's simple enough."
The next moment, the Golden Finger's Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill was directly activated, and before the Innate Peacock could react, it sensed something inexplicable deep within its True Spirit.
"What thing is this, what have you done to me?" The Innate Peacock immediately sensed something was wrong, glaring angrily at Zhang Chen, trying to operate its Divine Techniques to expel the mark. Yet the mark was firmly engraved in its True Spirit, completely fused with it, and it could not be removed.
"Didn't I say I'd get the Ancestral Master rescued?" Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Please be patient, Ancestral Master, I'll get you out in a moment."
"Did I say you should rescue me out in that way? What's up with the mark in my True Spirit? It's utterly inexplicable, appearing suddenly like that." The Innate Peacock was a bit panicked.
Meanwhile, in Zhang Chen's mind, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon was startled upon hearing the Innate Peacock's words, remembering the mark in its own True Spirit Origin, and then gloating: "This bald chicken is doomed! This mark is truly sinister; even I, the ancestral I, cannot shake it off, and it's even more stuck to him."
At this moment, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon's eyes were full of sympathy, finding delight in others' misfortunes along with its own, it was indeed delightful.
The Innate Peacock sensed something amiss, but was helpless. Zhang Chen, having gained the advantage, was too lazy to further bother with the Innate Peacock. After all, since its soul was marked by him, what means could it possibly have left? What waves could it possibly stir?
Then Zhang Chen had his Magical Power circulate rapidly, quickly recovering, using his hand to form a spell to manipulate the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to sense the outside situation. Moments later, Zhang Chen knew that both Xu Erniu and the Ancestral Master had already left.
Zhang Chen looked at the Innate Peacock and activated the Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill, pulling the Innate Peacock directly out of the cage, appearing in front of Zhang Chen.
If in the outside world, he would be unable to break through the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror's barrier to hook the Innate Peacock's three souls and seven spirits, for if the other party's soul was suppressed, even his Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing skill would not work.
This place was inside the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, and to Zhang Chen, who had mastered the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror Manipulation Technique, the cage's suppression and restraint might as well not exist.
Zhang Chen seemingly pulled the Innate Peacock's soul out of the cage directly, but actually had stealthily operated the spell to dissolve the suppressive force of the cage earlier.
"Since Ancestral Master desires to borrow the Innate Five Elements Essence Qi, then please rest inside my Five-Colored Divine Light. Once we're outside, I will assist you in possession and rebirth," Zhang Chen said with the Five-Colored Light swirling behind him.
Yet at this moment, the Innate Peacock was dissatisfied, glaring at Zhang Chen: "Kid, first explain the mark in my soul, otherwise I won't be done with you."
"Didn't I say I used the mark to pull the Ancestral Master out of the cage? Since it's already done, why dwell on it?" Zhang Chen replied.
"Since you've pulled me out, quickly remove the mark," said the Innate Peacock with a stern face.
