Looking at the object surrounded by Qi of Chaos, Zhang Chen’s eyes showed a trace of curiosity: "What kind of treasure is this, with Innate Qi flowing through it, it looks so miraculous."
Zhang Chen carefully sensed the surroundings again, and after confirming that no one was spying, he slowly approached the treasure.
Although he had the Invisibility Technique, if he was attacked by an external force, the Invisibility Technique would be passively broken. So it’s essential to confirm whether anyone is watching in secret, to avoid unnecessary trouble when his whereabouts are exposed.
Looking at the object surrounded by Qi of Chaos, Zhang Chen’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look as he reached out to touch the object, only to see the Qi of Chaos transform into an invisible barrier, blocking his fingers.
"This barrier is very strong; no wonder the Shen Family can’t break it. I’m afraid only someone beyond the Tenth Tier, reaching the Eleventh Tier, could possibly break this barrier." Zhang Chen felt the power of the barrier, a look of realization in his eyes.
How could the Shen Family have power beyond the Tenth Tier? If the Shen Family had power beyond the Tenth Tier, this treasure wouldn’t be Zhang Chen’s turn.
But now there is a problem: the Shen Family can’t break the barrier in front of them, and neither can Zhang Chen.
Even if he had an Innate Spiritual Treasure in his hand, it would be impossible to break the barrier in front of him in a short time, as the object itself is an Innate Treasure.
Zhang Chen’s eyes were focused on the barrier, observing and evaluating it. After a dozen breaths, he made a judgment: "If I have enough time, I can use the Innate Spiritual Treasure in my hand to wear down the innate barrier on the other side. However, the key is that I don’t have that much time. But since this item is a relic left by my mother, she should have considered that I don’t have that high of a cultivation and left me a backup plan, right?"
A flash of insight appeared in Zhang Chen’s mind, and he slowly extended his hand, pressing against the barrier in front of him, only to see that the barrier remained as stable as a mountain, showing no reaction.
Zhang Chen frowned, and after a brief contemplation, a drop of blood flew out, heading towards the barrier in front of him. But to his surprise, when the blood neared the Innate barrier, it was directly shattered by the barrier and turned to nothingness.
"Even blood doesn’t work? Did my mother leave me a backup plan or not?" Zhang Chen’s mind was filled with numerous question marks.
At this point, Zhang Chen could hardly sit still. If his mother didn’t leave him a backup plan, it would take too long to obtain this treasure, and the Shen Family would undoubtedly detect his presence.
Just as Zhang Chen’s mind was in turmoil, pondering how to take away the treasure in front of him, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon emerged from Zhang Chen’s body, looking at the Qi of Chaos with shock: "Good kid, what fortune you have, discovering this treasure?"
"Do you recognize the origin of this treasure?" Upon hearing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s words, Zhang Chen’s heart was moved.
"This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation, how could I not recognize it?" the Great Freedom Celestial Demon replied.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation? Is it the Six Paths of Reincarnation I understand, the one involved with the Underworld?" Zhang Chen was taken aback, his heart pounding, his voice filled with disbelief.
"That’s right, it is the Six Paths of Reincarnation you understand!" the Great Freedom Celestial Demon responded.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation are related to the operation of Heaven and Earth and should exist in the Underworld. How could they appear in the Mortal World?" Zhang Chen asked, his voice full of confusion.
Hearing Zhang Chen’s question, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon replied: "Perhaps the old guys in the Underworld moved the Six Paths of Reincarnation out of the Underworld to avoid calamities, using it as a treasure to escape disaster. But somehow, it ended up in the hands of you mortals."
Hearing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s words, Zhang Chen’s eyes shone with a burning light: "Do you know how to break the barrier of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and take away its essence?"
In fact, Zhang Chen also had a way to take the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but it required too much time. For instance, he could slowly grind away at the restrictions of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, then rely on his Golden Finger to cultivate Divine Techniques related to reincarnation, naturally increasing the probability of obtaining the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
But this method required breaking through the barrier of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and after encountering the Power of Reincarnation, he could work on the related skills. The time needed for Zhang Chen could be counted in years, decades, even centuries, the amount of time required was enormous.
Therefore, Zhang Chen’s eyes turned to the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, hoping the old man had a way to break the barrier of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
In fact, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon did not disappoint Zhang Chen. Hearing Zhang Chen’s words, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon said: "Did you not use the Innate Yin Yang Origin back then to condense a Secret Treasure: the Yin Yang Grinding Disc?"
Zhang Chen’s heart was moved upon hearing this, and he raised his hand, seeing Yin Yang Qi swirling in his palm, a light and shadow appeared in the palm of Zhang Chen’s hand.
The light and shadow transformed into a jade plate distinctly colored in black and white, with countless mysterious patterns of heaven and earth swirling around, and countless profound meanings of Yin and Yang flowing.
"What is the use of this object?" Zhang Chen inquired.
The Yin Yang Grinding Disc indeed has the effect of obliterating all things, but its level is too low. To obliterate the Six Paths of Reincarnation barrier in front of me, it would be more effortless to use an Innate Spiritual Treasure instead.
"Although your Innate Yin Yang Grinding Disc is mysterious and possesses the effect of annihilating everything, returning to the origin and transforming into Yin Yang Qi, unfortunately, its level is too low. To obliterate the reincarnation barrier in front of you, it may take tens of thousands of years. However, I will impart you a Secret Technique that can allow your Yin Yang Grinding Disc to draw the Six Paths of Reincarnation, making them voluntarily approach and incorporate into your Yin Yang Grinding Disc," said the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Dao.
"Please advise me, ancestor," Zhang Chen hurriedly replied.
Having heard Zhang Chen referring to him as ’ancestor’, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon couldn’t help but glance at him with a sideways look. When Zhang Chen needed him, he was called an ancestor, and when he wasn’t needed, just an old man; this kid truly has an eye for utility.
However, he didn’t argue with Zhang Chen, as if Zhang Chen could obtain the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, it would also be beneficial for him.
"You must know that Chaos is the progenitor; after the Chaos shattered, Yin and Yang were born, and Yin and Yang evolved into the Five Elements. Now that you have Innate Yin Yang and Innate Five Elements, perhaps you can try to evolve the Qi of Chaos," said the Great Freedom Celestial Demon.
"I can evolve the Qi of Chaos?" Zhang Chen’s eyes lit up at these words: "Please grant me the Secret Technique, ancestor."
"You must be dreaming. With your ant-like cultivation, even if you have all the conditions to evolve Innate Chaos, you don’t have that level of cultivation," the Great Freedom Celestial Demon disdainfully glanced at Zhang Chen and then said, "What I want to tell you is that Yin Yang Transformation is also a kind of reincarnation, especially in this End of Dharma Era. Innate Yin Yang Qi can nourish all things. If you activate the Yin Yang Grinding Disc, you can entice the Innate Reincarnation to draw near, and then using the Yin Yang Grinding Disc as a carrier, it might be possible to establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
"Carrier? What does that mean?" Zhang Chen seized on the key point and asked.
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation is the manifestation of the law and does not have a true entity. It is a cluster of laws. Among all the Spiritual Treasures you have, the Yin Yang Grinding Disc conforms to the Reincarnation Dao and can serve as the carrier of the laws manifested by the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
Zhang Chen was taken aback; he hadn’t thought that the Six Paths of Reincarnation did not have a physical body.
"How should I draw the Six Paths of Reincarnation into the Yin Yang Grinding Disc?" Zhang Chen asked.
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon replied, "You just need to infuse the Innate Qi into the Yin Yang Grinding Disc, and at that moment, it will naturally draw the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This Six Paths of Reincarnation is the embodiment of the law and doesn’t need your Innate Qi. So even if you have Innate Qi, it doesn’t attract the rule of Six Paths of Reincarnation. Your Innate Qi can only affect specific treasures and has no effect on treasures with the ’Superpower’ of rule."
With the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s endless words, Zhang Chen’s heart moved, and he realized he had learned something new.
So he pushed his palm forward, injecting a large amount of Innate Qi into the Yin Yang Grinding Disc, which then began to rotate, transforming into a black-and-white Yin Yang pattern, sweeping towards the opposing Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Yin Yang pattern collided with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the next moment saw the two barriers contesting, constantly twisting and vibrating. After three breaths, the Six Paths of Reincarnation suddenly opened its barriers, allowing the Innate Yin Yang pattern to merge within.
"Now is the time!" Seeing the Six Paths of Reincarnation open a barrier, Zhang Chen’s eyes shone, and he abruptly reached out, touching the break in the barrier.
"Stop! Are you courting death?! Once you are swept into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even if you have cultivated a Primordial Spirit, you will only have your memory washed away and be reborn!" Seeing Zhang Chen’s actions, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s heart shivered with shock, his eyes revealing a touch of horror, and he hurriedly spoke up with urgency in his voice.
But Zhang Chen didn’t heed the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s words. His hand, shrouded with True God Golden Light, resolutely extended, touching the Qi Mechanism of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
In that instant, the Golden Light collided with the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and a deadly crisis surged into Zhang Chen’s heart. The force of the Six Paths of Reincarnation followed the Golden Light, invading Zhang Chen’s being. In the next moment, the Ice Domain appeared, blocking the force of the Six Paths of Reincarnation; just at the next moment, the Six Paths of Reincarnation force ignored the obstruction of the Ice Domain and continued to invade his essence. Luckily, at the critical moment, the Innate Spirit Root Jianmu within his soul lightly trembled, and Zhang Chen’s body was enveloped by a peculiar Qi Mechanism, which exempted him from the invasive power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Chen quickly retreated, looking at the Six Paths of Reincarnation with a face full of dread, thinking with horror, "I never thought my True God Golden Light couldn’t resist the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation! It’s utterly inconceivable!"
Ever since Zhang Chen’s True God Golden Light was born, it has been unrivaled and unstoppable; no matter what kind of evil, it couldn’t counter his True God Golden Light. But his True God Golden Light unexpectedly couldn’t resist the Six Paths of Reincarnation; isn’t this truly shocking?
