Chapter 320: The Passage Between the Material World and the Spiritual World
Family is a glory etched into one's bones.
For everyone, family is their root, their very foundation. No one can accept being removed from the family tree.
A person lives for face, a tree for bark. Being removed from the clan is a lifelong disgrace. Even with greater success, not being able to return to the clan and achieve the ultimate accomplishment of bringing glory to one's ancestors is equivalent to nothing.
Moreover, in this era of utmost loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and righteousness, if even one's family and relatives cannot tolerate them, how depraved must they be? What would outsiders think? Who would dare to associate with them?
Unfortunately, Zhang Chen came from later generations and had no concept of clan at all.
Not returning to the clan? So be it! What's the big deal? There's no imperial throne waiting for him to inherit in the clan. He can live well outside on his own. Why should he return to the clan?
In short, he won't starve!
As for reputation? What will outsiders think? Zhang Chen said he doesn't care!
So, facing the price offered by Zhang Gaqi, Zhang Chen sighed softly. It seems that the Zhang family wasn't willing to fish him back not because they couldn't, but because it wasn't worth it. Otherwise, why would Zhang Gaqi offer such conditions at this time?
Therefore, facing Zhang Gaqi's confident expression, the blood flow in Zhang Chen's body gradually accelerated, preparing for the upcoming action:
"What if I say no? Are you going to stop me?"
"No?" Zhang Gaqi was stunned upon hearing Zhang Chen's words. He stared blankly at Zhang Chen, never expecting him to refuse.
"I didn't quite hear what you said just now. Say it to me again," Zhang Gaqi said, suspecting he had misheard.
Zhang Chen remained silent, simply looking at Zhang Gaqi. Then Zhang Gaqi fell silent and said after a long while, "Do you know what your choice represents?"
Zhang Chen smiled, "Do you want to forcibly keep me here to complete the transaction, or let me pass?"
Zhang Gaqi helplessly shook his head and stepped aside, "You and I are, after all, of the same clan. Our bloodline is still within three generations. How could I attack you?"
"I just want to remind you that if you are willing to give me this ancient corpse, my strength will be elevated to an irreplaceable level. At that time, even if the old lady of my Zhang family falls, I can become the new stabilizing force of the Shangjing Zhang clan, holding up the sky for the entire Zhang family. The entire Zhang family will have at least another sixty years of great fortune. The Zhang family will have more time to select and cultivate new successors. Even under my leadership, the Zhang family's strength will go a step further and reach new heights," Zhang Gaqi said, still somewhat unwilling, trying to persuade him earnestly.
Hearing Zhang Gaqi's words, Zhang Chen shook his head without responding, only saying, "If you don't attack me, then I'll leave."
After speaking, Zhang Chen walked past Zhang Gaqi with a calm expression. Zhang Gaqi looked at Zhang Chen's back and, as expected, did not stop or chase after him.
"If you ever change your mind, remember to find me in Kyoto," Zhang Gaqi called out, looking at Zhang Chen's stubborn back, feeling unwilling.
The only response to Zhang Gaqi was the increasingly distant figure and Zhang Chen's arm waving behind him.
"Damn brat! This wildness and ambition are not something those disciples at home, immersed in rouge and powder, can possess," Zhang Gaqi shook his head:
"Such a talent, I still need to think of a way to bring him back into the fold."
He didn't associate this ancient corpse with the Primordial God and Demon corpse that had been rumored so widely some time ago, otherwise, he might not have changed his mind.
Zhang Chen was seen carrying the Di Nu's corpse, running wildly all the way. This time, Zhang Chen's movements were more careful, and ultrasonic waves constantly echoed in the mountains, detecting all directions.
He even saw the Pingbian Prince's Mansion's 100,000-strong army from afar, now bypassing the scorching lava and heading towards the center of the battlefield.
Zhang Chen had no intention of detouring. He directly extracted groundwater and then manipulated the water flow to form a layer of ice on the lava, stepping on the ice and disappearing into the darkness.
He didn't have much time left. The loss of the ancient corpse from the Pingbian Prince's Mansion couldn't be concealed for too long. At that time, the entire Northern Territory would probably boil again, and the major forces would set their sights on him.
Fortunately, Zhang Chen's efforts were not in vain. He didn't cause any accidents along the way, and he saw the location of the Water God's self-destruction battlefield from afar.
It's just that there were a few too many people at the battlefield. Hundreds of figures were constantly shuttling through the battlefield, hoping to find the creation left behind by the gods.
"Dear niece, there are a few too many people ahead, and many people even know you. The test for us has only just begun," Zhang Chen patted the Di Nu's protective golden light and muttered.
Who knew that the Di Nu's eyes looked towards the battlefield, and the next moment, she transformed into a golden light, directly slipping off Zhang Chen's shoulder. Only the Di Nu's stuttering voice came from the darkness: "Thank... Next... Leave it to me...!"
Zhang Chen was stunned when he saw the Di Nu suddenly escape, and then, hearing the Di Nu's stuttering voice, he had already guessed the meaning of her words.
"Isn't it because you can fly using the golden light? Why did I have to carry you all the way?" Zhang Chen looked at the Di Nu's back, somewhat speechless.
"Could it be that in the Pingbian Prince's Mansion's territory, there was the suppression of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion's dragon vein, and the will of heaven and earth was relatively strong, so the Di Nu didn't want to waste her strength to resist?" The Great自在天魔 appeared beside Zhang Chen: "If you want to ascend to the spiritual world, you must keep yourself in a peak state, facing the vitality within the limit with the posture of your prime."
Zhang Chen felt that this made sense upon hearing this, and remained silent for a long while, only watching the Di Nu's actions from a distance of tens of miles.
The Di Nu's figure appeared in the center of the battlefield, ignoring the people searching for supplies in the center of the battlefield. The next moment, her aura was sublimated to the extreme, and a large amount of mysterious substance, like flowing water, poured out of her body, flowing back towards the heavens and earth.
The Di Nu's sublimation was extreme, and the mysterious substance in her body naturally flowed away faster and was more difficult to lock in.
The mysterious substance leaked out in all directions, causing the martial artists around who were searching for divine blood to have their bloodlines mutated, gaining various benefits, directly obtaining the power of bloodlines, and turning from ordinary people into gods.
In a certain mountain gully, Chen Sanliang was quietly observing the situation in the field. Behind him, dozens of demon clan experts were lurking in the darkness, preparing to wipe out all the experts in the Northern Territory in one fell swoop. But who knew that the mysterious substance swept in like a tide, instantly enveloping the demons, and the demon clan behind him uncontrollably began to mutate instinctively. Even Chen Sanliang felt dizzy for a while, his pores opening, devouring the mysterious substance.
Faced with the vast majesty emitted by the Di Nu, a group of demons prostrated on the ground, daring not to move at all, only instinctively devouring the mysterious power pouring out from the heavens and earth.
"Sir, are we still going to make a move?" Bai Cang's body trembled, his voice hoarse under the terrifying pressure, as he asked.
Chen Sanliang was already kneeling on the ground, turning his head to look at the great demons behind him who had revealed their true forms, all of them caught in a state of evolution, where would they find the strength to fight?
"The situation is unclear, I'm afraid this plan will have to be scrapped." Chen Sanliang sighed helplessly.
Bai Cang's eyes looked at the Imperial Daughter standing proudly in the night sky, his body trembling, directly prostrating on the ground, his eyes full of horror: "Even when facing the twelfth-order mystery of the Dasheng Dynasty, I have never felt such fear in my heart, how can there be such an incredible existence in this world?"
The Imperial Daughter's ultimate sublimation, her pressure and the aura of her mysterious origin suddenly vented out, causing everyone in the field to be greatly shocked, one by one collapsing on the ground, unable to move at all.
Even Zhang Chen, who was tens of miles away, was still swept up by the mysterious tide surging from the Imperial Daughter's body, but unfortunately, facing that mysterious tide, Zhang Chen had no feeling at all. Not to mention evolution, he didn't even have a trace of reaction.
The concentration of his mana, which he had cultivated into a force, was countless times more concentrated than the mysterious power emitted by the Imperial Daughter and diluted by the air.
"Now that the Imperial Daughter's origin is leaking, she must race against time to see if she can devour the Water God's origin rules faster, or if her own divine power dissipates faster. If the speed at which she dissipates her divine power is faster than the speed at which she devours the Water God's origin, then her extreme sublimation will fail, and she will probably die without a burial place," the Great自在天魔 muttered beside Zhang Chen, his voice more solemn than ever before.
The Imperial Daughter's aura erupted, her terrifying divine power shaking the heavens and the earth, reversing the northern night into day, as if a small sun had risen.
In Zhang Chen's nervous gaze, the Imperial Daughter opened her mouth wide, and in the void, it was as if time was flowing backwards, and the Water God's origin that Liu Feng had erupted earlier, now涌ed out from the void and was devoured by the Imperial Daughter.
The Imperial Daughter was indeed the Imperial Daughter, and in the end, she did not disappoint Zhang Chen, only to see that the speed at which she devoured the Water God's origin was thousands of times faster than the speed at which her own origin dissipated. In just a breath, the origin that filled the sky had already been absorbed cleanly by her.
Then, the Imperial Daughter let out an angry roar towards the sky, and the ancient words in the dark seemed to跨越时空 once again spread throughout the current world: "Golden-Scissor!"
She was summoning the Golden Scissor.
The Golden Scissor within Zhang Chen's mana foundation vibrated, quickly游走ing within Zhang Chen's mana, as if迎合ing the Imperial Daughter's call, but it did not rush out, but waited for Zhang Chen's command.
Zhang Chen's heart念动ed, and the Golden Scissor transformed into black and white light and flew out, directly洞穿ing the void, arriving in the Imperial Daughter's hands.
The Golden Scissor transformed into black and white two-colored air currents in the Imperial Daughter's hands,裹挟ing on the Imperial Daughter's fist, and then the Imperial Daughter looked up at the void above her head, and猛然 punched out with that fist裹挟ing the Golden Scissor.
哗啦~
A burst of shattering sounds like碎玻璃 spread throughout the entire northern region, and a black hole appeared above the Imperial Daughter's head, that black hole was several meters in size, constantly twisting and transforming into various shapes.
But that black hole was different from the black holes that Zhang Chen knew in his previous life. The black holes that Zhang Chen knew in his previous life had various powerful swallowing forces, and even stars could be swallowed. Black holes would pull on everything and swallow them into their own black holes. The black hole in front of him was just purely black, like a black墨渍 on white clothes, with no other abnormalities, let alone swallowing power.
The Imperial Daughter looked at the black hole, a hint of nervousness revealed in her eyes, and with a casual甩, the Golden Scissor directly appeared out of thin air in Zhang Chen's hands, and then the Imperial Daughter遥遥 looked at Zhang Chen, and after showing Zhang Chen a风华绝代 smile, she directly义无反顾 stepped into the black hole.
"The Imperial Daughter has ascended! Her flesh has entered the spiritual world!" The Great自在天魔's voice beside him was trembling, his body was哆嗦ing, and he said哆哆嗦嗦ly.
"The Imperial Daughter's flesh has ascended, what are you excited about?" Zhang Chen looked at the other party without good humor.
The Great自在天魔 heard the words and讪讪一笑ed, without speaking, only a pair of eyes looked at the black hole, and a flash of light was revealed in his eyes.
Zhang Chen lowered his head to check the Golden Scissor, and then his breathing could not help but stagnate, and the cracks in the Golden Scissor that had been repaired before, now not only reappeared, but also had more fine cracks, making people not doubt that the Golden Scissor would碎裂 at any time.
"My Golden Scissor ah!" Zhang Chen悲呼ed, and quickly took the Golden Scissor into his mana to孕养, his eyes revealing a look of heartache.
"Do you think the Imperial Daughter has a few points of certainty of success?" Zhang Chen收回ed his gaze from the grief of the Golden Scissor, turned his head to look at the Great自在天魔.
"According to that妮's strength, seven or eight points of certainty should be no problem, right?" The Great自在天魔 said hesitantly.
"Too low." Zhang Chen was a little worried in his heart, this was his大侄女, maybe she would be his大腿 in the future, what if something happened? How would he explain to her father?
The Great自在天魔's mouth抽搐ed, wishing he could directly give Zhang Chen a slap, seven or eight points of certainty was still low?
Ordinary strong people could have half a point of certainty, and they would already be ascending, okay?
That was the barrier between two worlds!
Did this蠢货 have any awareness of crossing the barrier between two worlds?
"What do we do now?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Wait!" The Great自在天魔 said.
"Wait?" Zhang Chen did not understand the meaning.
The Great自在天魔 said: "If that little丫头 ascends successfully, she will leave a贯穿ed passage, that passage can last for at least a year. If you are lucky, entering the first heaven of the spiritual world, you can dig up supreme造化. For example, if you want Buzhou Mountain Stone, if you bring it back from the spiritual world, the energy required is海量, even if you swallow the entire Yellow Heaven Dao, you will not have any chance. But if you enter the spiritual world with your flesh, and dig out the Buzhou Mountain Stone in the spiritual world, the situation will be different."
"Is there such a saying?" Zhang Chen heard the words and was thoughtful, his fingers unconsciously敲ing his arm: "How long do we have to wait? Can everyone go in?"
"Of course everyone can go in, but after entering, everyone will have to turn into ordinary people, and they will not be able to发挥 any ability. Whether they can walk out alive depends entirely on luck," the Great自在天魔 said with a smile.
Zhang Chen heard the words and was shocked in his heart. It was really terrifying. No one knew better than him how dangerous the spiritual world was. After ordinary people entered, there was only a dead end.
"You kid are thinking too much, there are too many people in this world who want to搏一搏, that is the spiritual world, even if you only bring out a grass, it will have incredible power when you return to the real world. This world has never lacked people who搏一搏!" The Great自在天魔 said with emotion beside him.
