I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World-Chapter 567 - 296: Fruit Level Power - Fire Extinguishing Pearl
Thinking of this, Fox Fairy Nannan directly used the Dream-Entering Technique to infiltrate Zhang Xiaohua’s dream. However, before she could react, a strand of black hair entwined her, locking her in place, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks pouring down like a torrential storm.
In the outside world
Fox Fairy Nannan’s body started swelling with redness, and before long, the entire fox seemed to have gained a lot of weight, looking quite comical and ridiculous.
After a long time, Zhang Xiaohua woke from the dream, and the Fox Spirit’s body twitched, then she turned over and sat up, her eyes filled with horror as she looked at Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua also strained to open his eyelids a slit, thanking the Fox Spirit: "Auntie, thank you for taking the hit for me, otherwise I might have been beaten to death this time."
Fox Fairy Nannan gritted her teeth in pain, lying on the ground unable to move. She was so uncomfortable she wanted to cry, and it was not just an ordinary kind of discomfort.
She finally understood why Zhang Chen avoided this matter. The terror of the Ancient Divine Demon was entirely beyond her expectations. She was utterly powerless against it, feeling like a mere blade of grass in a storm, only able to be trampled upon.
"Crown Prince, I have something to say, although I am not sure if I should." Fox Fairy Nannan’s soul emerged as she spoke.
Zhang Xiaohua, groaning in pain, wasn’t surprised to see Fox Fairy Nannan’s Soul Emergence, and replied weakly: "Whatever you have to say, just say it."
"I know the source of your calamity," Fox Fairy Nannan said.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua immediately perked up. Even his groans stopped, and he stared intently at Fox Fairy Nannan: "Auntie, save me."
Fox Fairy Nannan sighed helplessly upon hearing this. Where did she have the ability to save anyone? She would have liked to, but she just got herself caught up, didn’t she?
"Where do I have the skills to save you? If I could save you, I wouldn’t have ended up like this." Fox Fairy Nannan sighed, her voice filled with helplessness:
"The source of the Crown Prince’s calamity originates from that Ancient Divine Demon’s corpse..."
Fox Fairy Nannan then clumsily explained the cause and effect of the Tree of Life Coffin. Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua pondered briefly, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, especially when recalling the appearance of the female corpse, vaguely resembling some form of the Divine Demon in the coffin. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Someone, I’m going down the mountain!"
Zhang Xiaohua couldn’t sit still anymore. He immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
As events unfolded, Prince Pingbian had yet another reason to seize the Tree of Life Coffin. What would happen to his precious son if he couldn’t secure it?
Time passed quickly, and the martial world was in turmoil. Countless spies got the message and secretly converged on Huangli Temple.
On the seventh day, Zhang Chen was eating roasted meat when suddenly he felt an invisible red thread flying towards him. Before he could dodge, it wrapped around his ankle, binding him tightly.
The thread disappeared in a flash, and before Zhang Chen could react, all anomalies vanished without a trace, as if everything that happened was just an illusion.
"What the hell was that?" Zhang Chen stood in the courtyard, scanning his surroundings with vigilance. After all, he had cultivated True God Golden Light, how could he be seeing things?
"Something’s not right, as if someone was scheming against me?" Zhang Chen looked around, his eyes flashing with golden light, but he couldn’t detect anything unusual.
After a long time without finding a target, Zhang Chen could only sit back down and eat his roasted meat, his thoughts flashing: "I was definitely schemed against! But I have no clue what they did. My cultivation must be too low, I need to absorb more experience points to better handle future troubles."
Zhang Chen still felt the speed at which he absorbed points was too slow, but he had no other method since the absorption progress of points was tied to his Qi Cultivation. He was now stuck at the twelfth tier of Qi Cultivation Great Perfection with no subsequent cultivation technique, unable to find his future path.
"By my estimation, I should have enough points to upgrade the Fire Extinguishing Pearl by tonight, right?"
Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Finger Interface:
[Skill 12 (Twelfth Tier): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/8192000)]
[Points: 7967523]
"Not far off, the upgrade will be tonight." Zhang Chen quietly finished his roasted meat, walked around his little abode, and then quietly delved underground to absorb points.
Unbeknownst to Zhang Chen, while he was lamenting his slow Incense Qi absorption, Gu Mingyue was on the verge of tears watching the Pool of Faith.
The water flow of the Pool of Faith was increasing too slowly, delaying the date of the Divine Enthronement, making him restless.
Especially recently, someone spread a rumor, saying the Tree of Life Coffin was at Huangli Temple, even claiming with confidence it was in the underground chamber, infuriating him to the point of skewing his nose.
He urgently needed to declare and ordain himself as a deity, then use absolute strength to tell the world that Yellow Heaven Dao was not something they could challenge.
Even due to the rumors of the Tree of Life Coffin, the aristocrats who originally supported Huangli Temple were now subtly pressuring Yellow Heaven Dao, hoping it would provide a perfect explanation.
But what explanation could he give?
Unless the Tree of Life Coffin reappeared, Huangli Temple would remain blamed without a way to clarify the situation.
