Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

The barrier beast struggled desperately, but it couldn't break free no matter what.

Zhang Xuan saw that this soul-seeking rat was actually absorbing the barrier energy emitted by the barrier beast bit by bit.

"Doesn't this soul-seeking rat like to devour the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins? How can the barrier energy be devoured?"

Zhang Xuan was puzzled, but the current crisis was finally temporarily resolved.

"Chiji..."

The barrier energy around the barrier beast became thinner and thinner, and its body became smaller and smaller.

When the other barrier beasts saw their leader being captured, they were fearless and rushed towards the soul-seeking rat.

The soul-seeking rat was not afraid of this barrier beast leader, and these barrier beasts that rushed over were just for food.

As soon as the barrier beast touched the soul-seeking rat, it melted like ice and was absorbed by the soul-seeking rat, and finally not even a residue was left.

This barrier beast leader lasted longer, and under the crazy absorption of the soul-seeking rat, its body became smaller and smaller.

The shrill cry of the barrier beast leader became weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely and turned into a black bone the size of a calf.

The soul-seeking rat licked his lips, threw the black bone, and rushed over to see a few barrier beasts in the distance.

It's a long story, but it actually happened in a few breaths.

Zhang Xuan's heart was finally relieved when he saw the soul-seeking rat leave.

If he drove away the barrier beast, another soul-seeking rat would come to devour him, which would not be pleasant.

Zhang Xuan staggered to his feet, walked over, and saw the black bone.

"This is the bone wrapped in barrier qi..."

Zhang Xuan saw that there were thunder patterns intertwined on this bone, which seemed to contain rich energy.

Its color was dark, making people feel desolate and fierce.

"This bone is from the misty black swamp. It has been preserved for countless years, and it is so big. The owner of this bone is probably at least a second-level monster."

Zhang Xuan reached out and picked up the black bone.

But just as he picked up the black bone, the Taoist energy in his sea of ​​consciousness surged.

The upper control Dharma phase diagram appeared.

The lightning patterns and rich energy in the black bone were absorbed by the Shangyu Faxiangtu continuously.

The Shangyu Faxiangtu became clearer. In the picture, a one-legged monster with supreme power, shaped like a cow, more than a thousand feet tall, bathed in lightning, roaring to the sky, as if the entire Black Domain Forest was shaking.

It was not until the black bone in Zhang Xuan's hand turned into powder that the Shangyu Faxiangtu stopped absorbing it, and the one-legged monster was frozen on it.

Several lines of text appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Name: Shangyu Faxiangtu]

[Level: Entry (1/10)]

[Function: Can control a first-level monster. ]

"I didn't expect that mysterious bone to actually activate the beast control function, hahaha..."

Zhang Xuan laughed.

The original Kaixianzhi Yaotu could help him find spiritual feces, which had already brought him a lot of gains.

Now, this piece of thunder pattern bone actually opened the Shangyu Faxiangtu, how could he not be happy?

"It seems that these Dao diagrams are not ordinary, but they need beast pattern bones to open."

Although the back is still in excruciating pain, this time it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The Dao diagram was opened, and there was finally something to rely on for future cultivation.

Zhang Xuan took out some more spiritual grains and swallowed them in a few mouthfuls, absorbing the spiritual power in the spiritual grains, and slowly circulated the spiritual power to repair the blood hole in his back.

He ate almost all the spiritual grains he brought, and finally accumulated enough spiritual power, and finally felt better.

Zhang Xuan did not dare to stay any longer, and hurried to the periphery of the Black Domain Forest.

"Hu——"

A black shadow attacked from the air.

"It's the monster in the Black Domain Forest..."

Zhang Xuan thought it was over.

The monster attacked too fast, and there was no time to hide.

When the black shadow's claws grabbed Zhang Xuan's arm.

"Bang——"

The black shadow was actually absorbed directly into the Shangyu Faxiangtu.

At this time, Zhang Xuan saw clearly in his sea of ​​consciousness that the black shadow turned out to be a first-level middle-grade monster - a bloodthirsty bat.

The blood-thirsty bat seemed to be stuck in a quagmire in the Shangyu Faxiangtu, struggling desperately.

The cow-shaped one-legged monster spit out a lightning bolt.

"Boom——"

The lightning struck the blood-thirsty bat.

"Squeak——"

The blood-thirsty bat screamed and lost all life.

"Dead?"

Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

"Isn't it the Beast Taming Daotu? How did the blood-thirsty bat die?"

Zhang Xuan's consciousness fluctuated, and the blood-thirsty bat flew out of the Shangyu Faxiangtu.

The blood-thirsty bat's eyes were dull and dead.

He found that his consciousness had established a soul connection with the blood-thirsty bat.

He could command the vampire bat with his mind.

"It turns out that it is not the Beast Taming Daotu, it is more appropriate to call it the Puppet Daotu."

He waved his hand, and the blood-thirsty bat returned to the Shangyu Faxiangtu again.

"It's good to make the blood-thirsty bat into a puppet, hehe..."

Zhang Xuan unconsciously smiled.

He tried to control the blood-thirsty bat.

This blood-thirsty bat is extremely fast and good at sneak attacks.

It can secrete a kind of black venom. Once scratched or bitten by it, even a late-stage first-order monster will suffer.

There was no danger on the way.

One day later, Zhang Xuan came out of the Black Domain Forest.

"Finally saw the Fairy Cat Valley."

Zhang Xuan ran quickly towards Zhangjiaji.

Back to Temple Street.

The crooked old man saw Zhang Xuan from a distance.

"Xiao Xuanzi, you are back alive?!"

The crooked-necked man squeezed out a smile from his sad face.

"Yes, of the young people we went to, how many came back alive?"

"Less than 10 people came back alive. Zhang Jun, Zhang Dawu, Zhang Erdou, Zhang Sandou and others all came back alive."

"We encountered an obstacle beast..."

"They have already said, children, you have done your best, go home and pack your things, our Temple Street will move to Neiji in two days."

"So fast? What about our spiritual field?"

"There are no spiritual fields left. In the past few days since you left, the fog barrier has become thicker. The spiritual fields have been devoured by spiritual energy and turned into mortal fields."

Henry Zhang looked at the gray face of Mr. Crooked Neck, with cracked lips and wrinkles in his eyes.

Seeing that this old man who had been cultivating spiritual fields all his life now had no land to plant, he didn't know what to say.

Return to your residence.

The family is surrounded by walls, and there is actually nothing to deal with.

He basically ate all the spiritual grains on the road.

He opened a dark wooden box, and inside was a yellow-grade low-level skill left to him by his parents - "Sky Fire Technique".

This is passed down from their ancestors.

In the host's memory, his parents' ancestors eight generations back also lived in Neiji. There was even an ancestor who had reached the seventh level of Qi refining and was considered a strong branch of the Zhang family.

It's a pity that it was short-lived, and the subsequent generations were not as good as the previous ones. They exhausted all their heritage and had no choice but to move to Waiji Temple Street.

The other things of the ancestors are gone, but this technique has been passed down.

It's a pity that this "Sky Fire Technique" is only a fragment, and can only be practiced to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, it is enough for Henry Zhang who is now at the first level of Qi refining.

After all, Kung Fu is no better than other things.

You can buy elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons.

Only the secrets of this technique are passed down from generation to generation by each branch of the Zhang family and are difficult to buy.

Even if he could buy it, it would easily cost hundreds of spiritual stones, which he couldn't afford.

"Now that I have a first-level mid-level bloodthirsty bat, I won't have to worry about earning spiritual stones in the future. Once I earn spiritual stones, I can practice the "Sky Fire Art"."

Henry Zhang put "Sky Fire Jue" in his arms and visited his spiritual field for the last time.

Sure enough.

The spiritual valleys are all dead, and the spiritual fields have also lost all their spirituality, no different from ordinary land.

Henry Zhang saw Uncle Waibo from a distance, still burying the only bit of spiritual dung next to the spiritual seedlings.

But what's the use?

Just asking for some psychological comfort!
