I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 116: Forget Yourself
In Zhang Chen's view, once one has stepped into the mysterious realm and reached a state above the out-of-body experience, and then looks back at the previous realm of cultivation, things like seeing gods and holding the elixir are actually not secrets, they are all just some additional abilities born on the road to spiritual cultivation.

From using Ming Jin to train the body's Qi and blood, to sitting cross-legged and holding the elixir, all of them are for the purpose of nourishing the essence, energy and spirit, and ultimately achieving the goal of allowing the soul to manifest.

However, Zhang Chen was very disappointed that Cheng Yu was illiterate, but he did not show it. With his current abilities, as long as he found an opportunity, he would be able to learn to read sooner or later.

At the same time, he thought of the little kid who didn't learn to read in order to see the gods more easily in the future. What about himself? Should he also learn to read?
Although he was a god and possessed various supernatural powers, he could not feel the power of his soul.

"I'm different from the little kid. I have the skill of sucking blood. Even if I rely on the accumulation of blood and energy, I can accumulate the soul and make it appear." Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.

"Go back quickly, or the porridge will get cold." The little kid didn't notice the change in Zhang Chen's expression, but urged him and walked back happily holding the wooden barrel.

Mi Zhou is back, her junior fellow apprentice is back, and her happiness is back too.

Zhang Chen looked at the little boy's back and secretly sighed in his heart: "This little guy is only five years old, how come he has mastered the technique of Hua Jin?"

The two returned to the house. Little Douding accompanied Zhang Chen to finish lunch before dozing off and going back upstairs to sleep. Zhang Chen finished washing the wooden barrel and drained the water from it before sitting cross-legged quietly on the wooden bed. Only then did he have the mind to explore the wonderful perception he had when he was visualizing the celestial map when he was in the belly of the giant snake.

I clearly felt that I only stayed in the map of the round earth and the square earth for a short moment, but who knew that so much time had passed in the outside world?
If I hadn't woken up early, I would have starved to death sooner or later.

"That state is very strange." Zhang Chen said to himself. He seemed to have some insights into the "Diagram of Square Heaven and Round Earth". The pattern that had no emotion in the past was actually given a magical artistic conception.

"I seem to have gotten started. I wonder if I can add some points now." Zhang Chen looked at the Gold Finger page, and the next moment he saw the Gold Finger page refreshed directly:

[The Square Heaven and Round Earth Diagram (Beginner): 0/10]

Zhang Chen was overjoyed when he saw the new skills. He had been nervous in the underground cave before, and had experienced many stimulations. Later, he was chased by Zhang Shicheng. In that tense atmosphere, he actually got the hang of the visualization method.

Zhang Chen turned his gaze again and looked at his remaining points:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Skill 1 (Level 0): Light of the Righteous God -> Automatic Cruise (200000/)]

[Skill 2 (Level 0): ​​Dragon Energy (200000/)]

[Skill 3 (Level 0): Transform into a Blood Bat (1000000/)]

[4th skill (second level): Water Control + Weak Water (0/100000)] Dragon Ball doubles the range, meters. Freezing increases by meter to meters.

[5th ​​skill (first level): Soul-catching chain (0/1000000)]

[Skill 6 Heaven and Earth Diagram (Beginner): 0/10]

[Points: fifty-six thousand six hundred and seventy-two]

"There are still 56,672 points? Just add more points!"

Zhang Chen's mind moved, and the 56,672 points directly turned into 56,662 points. The square earth circle diagram twisted for a moment:
[Skill 6: Diagram of the Round Heaven and Earth (Minor Achievement): 0/100]

Seeing this, Zhang Chen clicked without hesitation, and saw another 100 points disappear. The square earth circle diagram evolved from small success to big success, and the points changed from 100 to 1,000:

[Skill 6: Heaven and Earth Diagram (Great Mastery): 0/1000]

At this time, Zhang Chen visualized the diagram of the square sky and round earth again, and he felt that the diagram seemed to come alive. Countless lines and runes on it were flashing according to some mysterious law, which attracted Zhang Chen's mind. However, he did not really perceive the mystery hidden in the pattern.

Keep adding more!

[Skill 6: Heaven and Earth Diagram (Perfect): 0/10000]

As the skill panel twisted, Zhang Chen immediately noticed something different. Not only were all the lines flashing, but even the runes began to flash.

Zhang Chen looked at the map of the round earth and felt something unusual. The figure seemed to come alive, especially the sleeves. The runes on the inner sleeves emitted rays of light and turned into a mysterious pulling force. A trace of moonlight was pulled over, and was transformed and filtered through the sleeves, turning into a drop of sweet rain that dripped directly into Zhang Chen's spiritual world.

Along with the dripping of the sweet rain, the next moment Zhang Chen felt a bright moon rising in his mind. Under the shining of the moon, he seemed to have returned to his innate state. His whole soul was relaxed, as if he had a soul spa. It was an indescribable feeling of euphoria.

"This scroll is actually a method to cultivate the soul. Contemplating the scroll can actually strengthen the soul. It's really incredible." There was a hint of horror in Zhang Chen's eyes.

In order to pursue the goal of seeing gods and the legendary mysterious realm, martial artists all over the world practice hard day after day, and then climb mountains and wade through water to find the tombs of their ancestors, hoping to dig out a trace of chance and luck from the tombs of their ancestors so that they can break through to the legendary realm. But who would have thought that a visualization picture could actually do it.

Martial arts is a method of practicing skills and is an early means of protecting the way, while visualization diagrams are a method that directly points to the mysterious essence and directly cultivates the soul.

Zhang Chen had a hunch that as long as he practiced according to this visualization picture, sooner or later he would be able to leave his body and enter a mysterious realm.

"Incredible! I didn't expect that the good fortune I obtained in the True Dragon Tomb is the greatest fortune. A visualization picture is so good. If the emperor's daughter's tomb is really dug up in the future, what kind of incredible inheritance will be inside? What kind of incredible fortune will be there?" Zhang Chen's heart was a little excited.

However, he did not indulge in the practice, but set his sights on the sixth skill. At this time, the Tianfang Diyuan diagram had been completed, but there was still room for upgrading. However, it would take 10,000 points to upgrade it. But for Zhang Chen, it was just 10,000 points, what did it matter?
After all, the Square Heaven and Round Earth Diagram is related to one's future cultivation. It is mysterious and hard to find in this world, and it is impossible to guarantee that the points will always be there. The only permanent skill is to be able to practice actively.

The diagram of the round earth and square sky was related to future cultivation, so Zhang Chen did not hesitate and added some to it. He could still tell the difference between eating once and eating every meal.

The next moment, the golden finger screen changed: [Skill 6: Diagram of the Square Heaven and the Round Earth (Limit): 1/40000] Then Zhang Chen saw the diagram of the square heaven and the round earth in his spiritual world change, and the countless lines twisted again, and countless lines were broken up again, turning into a Taoist priest with a blurred face, who was making the Aquarius Seal with his hands.

The Aquarius Seal in the Taoist's hand emitted a suction force, constantly pulling at the moonlight in the darkness.

Strands of moonlight were continuously pulled down and poured into the vase. The vase continuously drew in the miraculous energy between heaven and earth. At this time, apart from the vase that absorbed the moonlight, no other changes could be seen.

However, Zhang Chen's eyes did not fall on the Aquarius, but looked at his own Gold Finger page: "After the limit, it can be upgraded? It's just that the points required are a bit too much, and it has doubled. It requires a full 40,000 points."

"The visualization diagram actually requires 40,000 points? Is there something else mysterious after the limit?" Zhang Chen looked at the skill panel, and then looked at his own points. At this time, the gold finger panel showed that there were only 45,562 experience points left.

If I click on it, I will only have 5,562 points left.

Forty thousand points, enough to upgrade my other skills.

does it worth?
After all, the perfect map of the round earth and square sky can already collect moonlight to strengthen one's spirit and soul.

Just thinking that this was his main cultivation technique after all, if he couldn't find the mystery in the future, he would have to rely on this skill to improve his cultivation, Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and chose to click on it.

As he gradually got to know this world, Zhang Chen realized more and more how hard it is to find mysteries. The only reason he was able to come into contact with mysteries on a large scale was simply because of the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter. Whether it was the tomb of a real dragon or the story of Zhang Shicheng transforming from a dragon into a dragon, it was all because of the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter.

If I finish excavating the tomb of the imperial daughter, where will I go to find new mysteries?

If I cannot find the mystery after ten or eight years, then wouldn't my practice just be stagnant?
And mastering the visualization diagram, your soul will grow stronger. This is the main practice method. This is the active improvement skill that you can master! This is your last retreat!
So after thinking about this, Zhang Chen's mind moved, and the next moment, without hesitation, he directly added skill points. Then, he saw the page in front of Zhang Chen flash:
[Skill 6: Heaven and Earth Diagram (Ultimate): Forget Yourself (0/400000)]

【Points: 5562】

As 40,000 skill points were added, Zhang Chen felt that his spiritual world suddenly became dark. The entire spiritual world was pitch black, and he was the only one standing in the darkness. An indescribable fear surged in his heart.

It felt like being locked in a small dark room, without any light at all. The darkness before his eyes was like a tide, swallowing up all his senses.

At this time, Zhang Chen was standing in the darkness. He lowered his head and found that the robe on his body had changed at some point and turned into the Taoist robe he was visualizing. He also became the Taoist he was visualizing, and the Taoist robe was quietly draped on his body.

He seemed to have transformed into the person in the scroll he had visualized, but his appearance was still his own.

"Something is wrong!" Zhang Chen stood in the darkness, feeling that there was nothing above his head and nothing under his feet. He seemed to be completely suspended in space, with endless darkness and emptiness on all sides.

There is no time, space or distance here, nor are there any living creatures. He is the only one in the entire dark void.

But at this moment Zhang Chen realized something was wrong. Logically speaking, when his diagram of the square heaven and round earth was complete, he should be able to form the Aquarius Seal and absorb the essence of the moon at all times. But why did it change after he upgraded his skills?
Turned into nothingness, no longer containing the essence of the sun and the moon?

Zhang Chen stood in the void with a look of confusion in his eyes. He carefully sensed his own soul, but did not feel any tendency of it to grow stronger. All he could feel was endless darkness, a darkness so dark as to be despairing.

"It shouldn't be like this? Is there something strange about this darkness?" Zhang Chen stood in the darkness, staring carefully at the darkness in front of him. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he found a tiny, barely detectable light in the endless darkness.

The light was so weak that it was inconspicuous even in the pure darkness.

"That light?" Zhang Chen looked at the small dot of light, as if he was standing on the earth looking at the stars.

"That light spot is very far away from me!" Zhang Chen looked at it for a long time before saying thoughtfully.

Then the next moment, Zhang Chen took a step and ran directly towards the direction of the light. No matter how far away the light was, it was the only light he saw in the darkness, and he had no choice.

"Perhaps I will make new discoveries when I get closer to that light. Logically speaking, I should have made great gains now that I have achieved a breakthrough from Great Perfection to Oblivion. Why was I thrown into darkness?"

Zhang Chen muttered to himself as he took a step forward and ran towards the light in the distance.

At the same time, he was also thinking about his own spiritual realm and all the details after his breakthrough.

"I suddenly found a suspicious point. My soul has now mastered the Aquarius Seal and has mastered the ability to absorb the moon's essence. My crystal core has also mastered the ability to absorb the moon's essence. However, the moon's essence absorbed by my soul seems to be different from the moon's essence absorbed by my blood." Zhang Chen regained his calm thinking at this time and finally realized the difference.

"It's completely different! It's like they are not the same thing at all." There was a hint of thought in Zhang Chen's eyes.

The moonlight in the spiritual world and the moonlight absorbed by the outside world, although both are moonlight, they seem to be two different substances, completely different.

"How could this be? They are all the power of moonlight, is there any difference between them?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.

But he didn't have a master, so he didn't know who to ask about this matter.

"What is the difference between the two kinds of moonlight? The moonlight absorbed by the crystal core is very cold, it is an extreme sensory cold. And the moonlight absorbed by the soul is cool and refreshing, a cool feeling in summer." Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and thoughts floated in his brain.

"Forget it. I can't think of the difference between the two for now. I'll ask the vixen when I get back to see if she knows the difference."

Zhang Chen put aside all distracting thoughts in his mind and chased after the light with all his might. He found that as he traveled, the power of his soul was lost and seemed to be getting weaker.

As I walk in this darkness, does my soul also consume energy like my physical strength?
