I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Hearing the fox spirit's words, Zhang Chen felt that the fox spirit's illusion techniques had some limitations and might not be effective against the imperial army. Otherwise, he would have directly used illusion techniques to infiltrate Prince Pingbian's mansion, so why would he be so constrained?

"What? Looking down on people?" Fox Fairy Nannan was so clever that she could see the subtle expression on Zhang Chen's face with just one glance, and immediately asked with some dissatisfaction:

"You don't even have illusion techniques yourself, so why are you looking down on me? Really!"

Zhang Chen was too lazy to argue with the fox spirit, he had never heard of arguing with his own skills.

"I'm asking, can you tell me the truth, what exactly is going on with you? Why were you swallowed by the true dragon destiny in my body?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit, feeling a little strange.

Logically speaking, the aura of the true dragon should have at most destroyed the fox spirit, but he had never heard of melting the other party and turning them into his own skill.

"Maybe my ancestors swallowed a mouthful of dragon essence in the past, so I have the ability to transform between reality and illusion, and can sense the true dragon destiny." The fox spirit was somewhat vague, seemingly unwilling to say more.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen didn't ask any more questions, but after finishing the lamb leg, he wiped the grease off his body, and then turned the fox spirit into a rune and kept it away.

"Zhang Shicheng's tomb may be located anywhere within a ten-mile radius, and it is also deeply buried underground, how should I find it?" Zhang Chen felt a little confused.

At the same time, he was also thinking about what he could do if he found the true dragon's tomb.

"Zhang Shicheng was a figure from hundreds of years ago, logically speaking, his lifespan should have reached its limit, right? Now that he hasn't successfully transformed into a dragon, which is equivalent to not being completely alive, my soul-hooking skill should be effective against these old guys, right? If I can hook Zhang Shicheng's soul over, and also see if I can get some skills and experience from him, or even directly suck his blood, my blood-sucking skill should still improve, right?"

What Zhang Chen was thinking about now was his own blood-sucking skill. If he absorbed the blood of a pseudo-dragon eighth-order monster, his blood-sucking skill would definitely evolve.

What kind of ability will it evolve into by then?

Could he completely transform into a bat? With no more restrictions on time and location?

Could he gain the ability to enter the Great Tomb of the Emperor's Daughter?

Compared to the Great Tomb of the Emperor's Daughter, even the True Dragon's Tomb was just an extra, let alone Zhang Shicheng's pseudo-dragon tomb.

"I possess the True Dragon Destiny, I am the only True Dragon in the world, that Zhang Shicheng is just a pseudo-dragon." Zhang Chen muttered to himself at this time.

He also had some guesses about Prince Pingbian's plan. Prince Pingbian's biggest plan was probably for Zhang Shicheng Zhang Chun to transform into a dragon. If Zhang Shicheng could really transform into a dragon, he would immediately become a twelfth-order monster, and then he would have the capital to fight against the Dasheng Dynasty. I'm afraid Prince Pingbian would immediately stand up and no longer fear the imperial court's constraints.

"When the alien race invaded, the Dasheng Dynasty migrated, Zhang Shicheng's sudden rise, I'm afraid it's all related to the mysterious destiny." Zhang Chen analyzed, constantly peeling back the layers:

"First: Zhang Shicheng's sudden rise in those years was probably because he had already obtained the destiny."

"Second: What exactly happened to the Dasheng Dynasty in those years that caused the alien race to invade?"

"Regarding the second question, there are two possibilities. The first is that the twelfth-order mystery of the Dasheng Dynasty had a problem, so they had to retreat. The second is that the twelfth-order mystery of the Dasheng Dynasty was restrained by the mystery of the alien race. Then Zhang Shicheng obtained the blessing of dragon energy, and suddenly rose to sweep away the alien race in the world. It was only after sweeping away the alien race in the world that Zhang Shicheng wanted to rule the world when he discovered the existence of the twelfth-order mystery, and then he was dumbfounded, and had to die with hatred, burying himself and waiting for the opportunity to transform into a dragon." Zhang Chen felt that his analysis was very likely, because Zhang Shicheng was just a bumpkin in those years, and he might not know about the existence of mystery.

For ordinary people, there is no news of mystery in this world at all, just like the village he grew up in, where are there any fragments of mystery circulating?

"It's getting more and more interesting!" Zhang Chen carried the iron shovel and continued to dig the soil.

"Pa ~"

The sound of a whip rang out, and the supervisor waved the whip, constantly directing the laborers to move the mud and sand, but he did not allow everyone to rest.

"I don't know how my bumblebee is doing. That bumblebee is my life-saving method in the future. I only hope they can survive. There is water in the cave, the bumblebee should not run away."

Zhang Chen hoeed a shovel of yellow soil, thinking about whether he could ask the fox spirit to take a trip, so he directly summoned the fox spirit and asked.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Fox Fairy Nannan directly rolled her eyes: "How far I can go completely depends on your strength. With your current ability, it is already the limit for me to go twenty miles."

Zhang Chen had no choice but to give up this plan. At the same time, he instructed the fox spirit to collect supplies outside and secretly concoct gunpowder in the barren mountains. In the future, if he really dug out the tomb of Zhang Shicheng, the Prince of Pingbian, perhaps the gunpowder could still play a role.

"I'll teach you the method of making gunpowder, will you learn it?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit.

Hearing this, the fox spirit's eyes lit up: "I'll learn! Of course, I'll learn!"

Seeing this, Zhang Chen did not hide anything, and told her the materials needed for gunpowder, as well as the purification, refinement, and various ratios one by one.

He did not hide anything from the fox spirit, he couldn't possibly make gunpowder himself in the future.

Hearing Zhang Chen's narration, the fox spirit was stunned on the spot: "It's that simple?"

She really couldn't believe that something that exploded with such power was so simple to make. It didn't require hard work to cultivate like a skill, it just required ordinary mortals to spend more time to make it, and once mortals mastered this thing, they could directly kill mystery with their mortal bodies!

At least the human martial arts experts, the fox spirit couldn't think of any way for the other party to resist!

Not to mention martial arts experts, even if the existence of exploring the spiritual world to the fourth-order object manipulation, if it is like himself, inexplicably messing up the explosion, then the flesh will be directly blown to death?

"It's that simple! Haven't you heard that the simpler the thing, the more it holds great truths?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, the fox spirit stood there, seeming a little lost.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Chen looked at Fox Fairy Nannan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Gunpowder is so powerful that ordinary people can refine it, and then reverse and cut down cultivators. Then where is the meaning of our cultivation?" There was a trace of confusion and sadness in Fox Fairy Nannan's voice.

"Cultivation cannot achieve immortality, what we seek is just to master some powerful power, now that gunpowder has appeared, the gap between the two sides is directly smoothed out, where is the meaning of cultivation? If cultivators cannot master power above ordinary people, then what's the point of cultivation?" Fox Fairy Nannan seemed to be murmuring to herself, and also seemed to be asking Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit Nannan and could understand her bewilderment. After all, during a certain special period in his previous life, when the foreigners' planes and cannons bombarded them, the Chinese people were probably just as bewildered as the fox spirit was now.

"Explore the mysteries of heaven and earth, master the mysteries of the human body," Zhang Chen said.

"Nonsense! Cultivation is for mastering powerful strength. If we can't master powerful strength, wouldn't our hard work in meditation be a waste of effort? We might as well enjoy life with that time," the fox spirit Nannan looked at Zhang Chen, her eyes filled with contempt: "Hypocrite!"

"…" Zhang Chen was speechless.

"You must not leak this technique, not even if you're beaten to death. Otherwise, the order and rules of this world will truly change. This universe might be reversed, turned upside down," the fox spirit said, "Whether it's a foreign race or the human race, whichever race masters this technique will sweep across the world and be invincible."

Speaking of this, the fox spirit Nannan was still a little worried. She turned her head and threatened in a fierce, childish voice: "And there are quite a few 'traitors' among you humans. If you spread the gunpowder technology, although your human race might have a great advantage in the early stages, as traitors leak the secret recipe, with the methods of our demon race, we can use explosives more efficiently than you humans, and your human race will definitely suffer heavy losses and fall into a disadvantageous position."

Zhang Chen glanced at the fierce-looking fox spirit: "I only hope that you don't spread the gunpowder technology."

Zhang Chen just said it casually. He wasn't worried that the fox spirit would spread the technology. The other party was now his skill. As long as he set a restriction on the other party, the other party wouldn't be able to speak.

The fox spirit Nannan ignored Zhang Chen and turned into green smoke and disappeared impatiently, starting to look for materials to make gunpowder, preparing to use them to make gunpowder.

At this time, Zhang Chen focused his mind on Zhang Shicheng's tomb: "For me, the most effective way is to interrupt Zhang Shicheng's dragon transformation when he is about to transform into a dragon, and then absorb his blood. But the other party is an existence in the ninth-order Yang God realm. Even if I hook over the other party's soul, I'm afraid I may not be able to kill it! Unless the other party suffers heavy damage…"

Zhang Chen thought about it and really found a clue: "The other party is now gathering the water veins of the world. Once the dragon transformation fails, without transforming into a true dragon, he will not be able to control the water of the world, and will inevitably be backlashed by the water of the world. The other party can only retreat and turn into a pseudo-dragon. However, even a pseudo-dragon cannot suppress the great trend of water transport in the world, and the injury will be even more serious. Perhaps that will be my chance. I can control all the river water within fifty meters, plus the characteristics of the light of a true god, facing a pseudo-dragon may not be without a chance to fight."

"However, the key now is to find his tomb first, determine the location of the tomb, and then find a way to operate."

Zhang Chen carried the basket full of soil on his back, then came to the dam and poured it out, his mind full of thoughts. A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind: "I can't find the location of the tomb, but I can ask that Zhang Shicheng to take the initiative to find me!"

"That Zhang Shicheng has now gathered enough fortune and devoured the mysterious power. He is only one true dragon fate away from truly completing his transformation. As long as the true dragon fate has not returned, he cannot transform into a true dragon for a moment. Now he has gathered the water veins of the world, and the trend of the dragon's journey has already formed. As long as he does not transform into a true dragon, the trend of the dragon's journey will not be interrupted, and the water vapor between heaven and earth will continuously gather, until the backlash crushes the dragon."

"Once the dragon transformation pattern is formed, the result cannot be controlled by Zhang Shicheng. Even Zhang Shicheng cannot stop it."

Zhang Chen thought of this and felt happy: "If it weren't for me, that wisp of true dragon fate would definitely have been summoned by Zhang Shicheng and directly taken by Zhang Shicheng, and then he would have directly transformed into a true dragon. But Zhang Shicheng, this unlucky guy, met me!"

"It's no problem for the son to pay for the father's debts, right? Who told your family to have no rules and give birth to a son who harms people for no reason. I have no grudges against you, it's all the karma of your grandson, and it can only be counted on your head," Zhang Chen smiled smugly.

He now thought of a way, which was to use the true dragon fate to seduce him and see if the other party would take the bait and actively crawl out of the feng shui tomb.

You must know that underground is the other party's lair. The Pingbian King Zhang Shicheng wants to transform into a dragon, so he has to arrange the feng shui pattern, as well as various mechanisms and traps. Zhang Chen is not willing to enter it.

As Zhang Chen's thoughts moved, the dragon energy in his soul drilled out of his body at this time. The dragon energy was only the thickness of a chopstick, and it directly appeared on Zhang Chen's shoulder. As soon as it appeared, it suddenly bit a large mouthful of the dragon energy permeating between heaven and earth. As it absorbed a mouthful of the dragon energy between heaven and earth, the true dragon fate on Zhang Chen's shoulder actually grew stronger and more solid.

Dragon energy is invisible and cannot be seen by ordinary eyes, so Zhang Chen is not afraid of the laborers around him seeing it.

Just as Zhang Chen's true dragon energy was tearing at the dragon energy between heaven and earth, suddenly the dragon energy between heaven and earth boiled, and then a tremor came from the riverbed under his feet, shaking people so they could not stand firmly. And as the earth shook, countless underground water flows were 'squeezed' out by the earth. In an instant, the water of the Yellow River began to surge, and in a breath it had already spread over people's knees.

"Run! The Yellow River is flooding!"

The laborers who were working saw the Yellow River suddenly gushing out water, and were immediately frightened out of their wits. They threw down the tools in their hands and ran to the shore.

Zhang Chen was also staggered by the earthquake. The true dragon fate on his shoulder seemed to sense the crisis, and actually 'swooshed' and hid back in Zhang Chen's soul.

"The true dragon fate is actually afraid of that Zhang Shicheng?" Zhang Chen was a little surprised, and didn't expect his dragon energy fate to be so cowardly, and it actually ran away when it encountered the other party's power.

But thinking about it, it's also true. Now Zhang Shicheng has obtained the complete fortune, like a great general who holds a million troops, but his name is not justified. And what about the true dragon fate? It has the name of orthodoxy, but it is an emperor without a single soldier under his command. How can he not be afraid when facing Zhang Shicheng?

At this time, the people were struggling to escape in the Yellow River, and Zhang Chen didn't want to attract too much attention, so he directly joined the fleeing crowd. However, he was sure of one thing in his heart, that his use of the true dragon fate to stimulate him had indeed alarmed Zhang Shicheng, and even affected the other party's dragon transformation.

His inference and conjecture were completely feasible!
