I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

In Zhang Chen's view, once one steps into the realm of the mysterious and transcends the state of soul projection, looking back at the previous stages of cultivation reveals that concepts like 'seeing the divine' and 'embracing the Dan' hold no secrets. They are merely additional abilities born on the path of nurturing the spirit.

From training the body's Qi and blood in Ming Jin to sitting, straddling, and embracing the Dan, all are for the purpose of nourishing essence, Qi, and spirit, ultimately achieving the manifestation of the soul.

However, Cheng Yu's illiteracy disappointed Zhang Chen, though he didn't show it. With his current abilities, as long as he finds an opportunity, he will eventually become literate.

At the same time, he thought of Xiaodouding, who avoids literacy for easier access to 'seeing the divine.' Should he, too, refrain from reading and writing?

Although he is a god, possessing various abilities, he has not yet felt his own soul power.

"I am different from Xiaodouding. I have the blood-sucking skill. Even if I rely on the accumulation of Qi and blood, I can still make my soul manifest," Zhang Chen thought to himself.

"Let's go back quickly, or the porridge will get cold," Xiaodouding urged, unaware of the change in Zhang Chen's expression, happily carrying the wooden bucket back.

With the rice porridge back and his junior brother back, her happiness has returned.

Watching Xiaodouding's back, Zhang Chen sighed inwardly, "This little fellow is only five years old, how has he mastered the techniques of Transformation Strength?"

The two returned to the house. Xiaodouding accompanied Zhang Chen for lunch before sleepily returning upstairs to nap. Zhang Chen washed the wooden bucket, drained the water, and then sat quietly on the wooden bed, finally having the mind to explore the wonderful perception he had when visualizing the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram in the belly of the giant snake.

He clearly felt that he had only stayed in the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram for a moment, but who knew that so much time had passed outside?

If he hadn't woken up early, he would have starved to death sooner or later.

"That state is very peculiar," Zhang Chen thought to himself. He seemed to have gained insight into the 'Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram.' The once emotionless pattern had been endowed with a mysterious artistic conception.

"I seem to have entered the door. I wonder if I can add points now," Zhang Chen's gaze turned to the Golden Finger interface. The next moment, the Golden Finger interface refreshed directly:

【Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram (Entry): 0/10】

Zhang Chen was overjoyed to see the newly appeared skill. He had been mentally tense in the underground cave, experienced multiple stimulations, and was then chased by Zhang Shicheng. In that tense atmosphere, his visualization practice had actually entered the door.

Zhang Chen's gaze shifted again, looking at his remaining points:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

【Skill 1 (Tier 4): Light of the True God -\u003e Automatic Cruise (0/200000)】

【Skill 2 (Tier 2): Dragon Qi (0/200000)】

【Skill 3 (Tier 1): Transformation Blood Bat (0/1000000)】

【Skill 4 (Tier 2): Water Control + Weak Water (0/100000)】 Dragon Ball doubles the amplification, one hundred meters. Freezing increases one meter - - two meters.

【Skill 5 (Tier 1): Soul Hook Chain (0/1000000)】

【Skill 6 Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram (Entry): 0/10】

【Points: Fifty-six thousand six hundred and seventy-two】

"There are actually fifty-six thousand six hundred and seventy-two points left? Directly add points!"

Zhang Chen thought, and fifty-six thousand six hundred and seventy-two points directly turned into fifty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-two points, and the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram twisted for a while:

【Skill 6 Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram (Minor Accomplishment): 0/100】

Seeing this, Zhang Chen did not hesitate to click down. He saw another hundred points disappear, and the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram evolved from Minor Accomplishment to Great Accomplishment, and the points changed from one hundred points to one thousand points:

【Skill 6 Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram (Great Accomplishment): 0/1000】

At this time, when Zhang Chen visualized the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram again, he only felt that the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram seemed to come alive. Countless lines and runes were flashing according to some mysterious rules, and Zhang Chen's mind was attracted to it, but he did not really perceive the mysteries hidden in the pattern.

Continue to add points!

【Skill 6 Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram (Perfection): 0/10000】

Along with the distortion of the skill interface, Zhang Chen suddenly noticed the difference. At this time, not only all the lines were flashing, but even the runes began to flash.

Zhang Chen looked at the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram and clearly felt something unusual. The figure seemed to come alive, especially the sleeves. The runes on the sleeves burst out with rays of light, turning into a mysterious pulling force. A wisp of moonlight from the dark was pulled over, and through the transformation and filtration of the sleeves, it turned into a drop of sweet dew and directly dripped into Zhang Chen's spiritual world.

Along with the dripping of the sweet dew, the next moment Zhang Chen only felt a bright moon rising in his mind. Under the illumination of the bright moon, he seemed to return to the innate state. His whole soul was comfortable, as if he had a soul spa. It was an unspeakable ethereal feeling.

"This picture scroll is actually a method of cultivating the soul. Visualizing the picture scroll can actually strengthen the soul. It's really incredible," Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a hint of horror.

Martial artists all over the world are pursuing 'seeing the divine' and the legendary mysterious realm, cultivating hard day after day, and then going to heaven and earth to climb mountains and wade through rivers to find the tombs of predecessors, wanting to dig out a trace of opportunity and good fortune from the tombs of predecessors, in order to break through to the legendary realm, but who knows that a visualization picture actually did it.

Martial arts is a method of practicing skills, a means of protecting the Tao in the early stage, and the visualization diagram is a method that directly points to the essence of mystery and directly cultivates the soul.

Zhang Chen had a feeling that as long as he continued to practice according to this visualization diagram, sooner or later he could project his soul and enter the realm of the mysterious.

"Incredible! I didn't expect that the greatest fortune I obtained in the True Dragon Tomb was the greatest fortune. A visualization diagram is already like this, if the tomb of the Emperor Daughter is really opened in the future, what kind of incredible inheritance should there be in it? What kind of incredible good fortune should there be?" Zhang Chen's heart was a little excited.

However, he did not revel in cultivation, but focused on the sixth skill. At this time, the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram had already achieved great success, but there was still room for upgrading. However, upgrading again requires ten thousand points, but for Zhang Chen, a mere ten thousand points is nothing, what does it count?

After all, the Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram is related to his future cultivation. The mysterious in this world is difficult to find, and points cannot be guaranteed to always be available, and his ability to actively cultivate is the eternal ability.

The Heavenly Circle Earth Square Diagram is related to future cultivation, so Zhang Chen did not hesitate to directly add points to it. He can still tell the difference between eating his fill once and eating his fill every meal.

The next moment, the Golden Finger interface changed for a while: 【Skill 6 Heavenly Square Earth Circle Diagram (Limit): 1/40000】

Then Zhang Chen saw the Tianfang Di Yuan Diagram within his spiritual world undergo a series of transformations. Countless lines twisted anew, and countless lines were also broken up and reformed into a Taoist priest with a blurred face, holding a treasure bottle mudra with his hands.

The treasure bottle mudra in the Taoist's hand emitted a suction force, continuously pulling at the moon's essence from the darkness.

Strands of moonlight were continuously drawn down and poured into the treasure bottle. The treasure bottle constantly received the mystical energy between heaven and earth. At this moment, apart from the treasure bottle absorbing the moonlight, no other changes could be seen.

However, Zhang Chen's gaze did not fall on the treasure bottle, but on his golden finger interface: "It can actually be upgraded after reaching the limit? It's just that the required points are a bit too much, actually doubled, requiring a full forty thousand points."

"The visualization diagram actually requires forty thousand points? Could it be that there are other mysteries after reaching the limit?" Zhang Chen looked at the skill interface, and then looked at his own points. At this time, the golden finger interface showed that only 45,562 experience points remained.

If he added the points, he would only have 5,562 points left.

Forty thousand points, ah, that's enough for me to upgrade other skills.

Is it worth it?

After all, the Great Perfection Tianyuan Difang Diagram can already collect the moon's essence to strengthen one's spirit and soul.

However, thinking that this is his main cultivation method, and if he can't find any mysteries in the future, he will have to rely on this skill to improve his cultivation, Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and chose to add the points.

As he gradually understood this world, Zhang Chen also increasingly knew how difficult it was to find the mysterious. He could only come into contact with the mysterious on a large scale because of the Imperial Daughter's Tomb. Whether it was the True Dragon Tomb or Zhang Shicheng transforming into a dragon, it was all because of the Imperial Daughter's Tomb.

If the Imperial Daughter's Tomb is completely excavated by him, where will he find new mysteries at that time?

If he can't find the mysterious for ten or eight years, wouldn't his cultivation only stagnate in place?

And mastering the visualization diagram and strengthening his soul is the main cultivation method. This is the active skill that he can master! This is his last resort!

So, after thinking about this, Zhang Chen moved his mind, and in the next moment, without hesitation, he directly added the skill points. Then he saw the interface in front of Zhang Chen flash:

[6 Skill Tianfang Di Yuan Diagram (Ultimate): Oblivion (0/400000)]

[Points: 5562]

Along with the addition of forty thousand skill points, Zhang Chen only felt that his spiritual world suddenly darkened. The entire spiritual world was pitch black, and only he himself stood alone in the darkness, and a indescribable great terror surged into his heart.

The feeling was as if he was locked in a small dark room, without seeing the slightest bit of light. The darkness in front of him was like a tide, devouring all his perceptions.

At this time, Zhang Chen stood in the darkness, lowered his head and found that the robe on his body had changed at some point, and it had turned into the Taoist robe of visualization. And he also became the Taoist in the visualization diagram, only his appearance was still himself.

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

"Something's not right!" Zhang Chen stood in the darkness, only feeling that the top of his head was a void, and the bottom of his feet was still a void. The whole person seemed to be completely suspended in space, with endless darkness and void in all directions.

There was no time and space or distance here, and there were no creatures either. Only he himself was in the entire dark void.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Chen noticed something was wrong. Logically speaking, when his Tianfang Di Yuan Diagram was perfect, he could still form a treasure bottle mudra and constantly receive the essence of the moon. But after upgrading his skills, why has it changed now?

Has it become a void, no longer with the essence of the sun and moon?

Zhang Chen stood in the void, a trace of incomprehension revealed in his eyes, and he carefully sensed his own soul, but he did not feel any tendency for his soul to grow stronger. All he could feel was endless darkness, a darkness that was so black that it was desperate.

"It shouldn't be? Could it be that there is something special about this darkness?" Zhang Chen stood in the darkness, his eyes carefully staring at the darkness in front of him, suddenly his pupils shrank, and in the endless darkness, he found a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of light.

That light was too weak, even in pure darkness, it was still so inconspicuous.

"That light?" Zhang Chen looked at the small spot of light, seeming to be looking at the stars while standing on Earth.

"That spot of light is very, very far away from me!" Zhang Chen said thoughtfully after looking at it for a long time.

Then, in the next moment, Zhang Chen took a step and ran directly towards the direction of the light spot. Even if the light spot was far away from him, it was the only light he saw in the darkness, and he had no choice.

"Perhaps I will have new discoveries after I get close to that spot of light. Logically speaking, I should have a great harvest now that I have broken through from Great Perfection to Oblivion, so why was I thrown into the darkness?"

Zhang Chen muttered in his heart while striding forward, running towards the distant spot of light.

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

"I suddenly discovered a suspicious point. My soul has now refined the treasure bottle mudra and mastered the ability to absorb the moon's essence, and my crystal core has also mastered the ability to absorb the moon's essence, but the moon's essence absorbed by my soul and the moon's essence absorbed by my bloodline seem to be different." Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a trace of thought.

"They are completely different! It's like they are not the same thing at all." Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a touch of thought.

The moon's essence in the spiritual world and the moon's essence he absorbed from the outside world, although they are both moon's essence, seem to be two kinds of substances, completely different.

"How could this be? They are both the power of the moon's essence, could there be any difference?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.

But he also didn't have a master, and he didn't know who to ask about this question.

"If we talk about the differences between the two moon's essences? The moon's essence absorbed by the crystal core is very cold, a kind of extreme sensory cold. And the moon's essence absorbed by the soul is cool and refreshing, a kind of cool feeling in summer." Countless thoughts flashed in Zhang Chen's mind, and thoughts floated in his mind.

"Forget it, I can't think of the differences between the two for the time being. After I go back, I will ask the fox spirit to see if that fox spirit knows the differences."

Zhang Chen put down the distracting thoughts in his heart, and went all the way with all his heart to chase towards the light. He found that as he was on the road, the power of his soul was also losing, and it seemed to be becoming weak.

Walking in this darkness, does the soul also have consumption like physical strength?
