Chapter 1324: Chapter 952: 89 Profound Techniques

Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang in his arms, and countless thoughts surged in his heart. He hadn’t expected the pull of destiny to be so strong. No wonder upon returning from Kunlun, he felt a peculiar sensation when he first saw Zhong Xiang, thinking the two of them seemed familiar. The woman before him was somewhat reminiscent of Lady Biyun, not realizing she was a reincarnation of a part of Lady Biyun’s True Spirit.

However, it’s merely a part of Lady Biyun’s True Spirit; she isn’t the complete Lady Biyun. To find the complete Lady Biyun, it requires gathering all her Soul Fragments.

“It seems that during the Ancient Era, Kunlun Mountain indeed faced calamity. The Innate Five Elements Grand Formation was breached, and the Five Elements Banner scattered in all directions. Even Lady Biyun perished, with her path and dao extinguished. That white ape was the guardian of West Kunlun Mountain. I’m afraid it didn’t fare well either!” Zhang Chen’s eyes revealed a trace of caution.

“That old ape was a supreme existence in the Daluo Realm, its lifespan akin to Heaven’s, surpassing fate and time. Yet, in the face of catastrophe, it was still like a mantis trying to stop a cart.” Zhang Chen sighed quietly, wondering if he would have a chance to survive in the great changes of Heaven and Earth.

“As long as I can accumulate enough points and step into the realm of Heavenly Creation Daluo in one fell swoop, I can break free from the shackles of this world and escape. If I could find the Eight-Nine Profound Skill and merge it with my Nine Revolutions Profound Skill to form the True Body of Pangu, who knows how strong my cultivation would become.” Zhang Chen felt he should try to find the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, but he had no clues about its whereabouts: “Maybe I should ask that Big Black Dog when there’s time.”

After this, Zhang Chen’s days became leisurely, as if everything had returned to peace, except the Great Victory Dynasty was busy collecting resources everywhere.

Zhong Xiang felt itchy on her head from Zhang Chen’s hair, and opened her eyes with morning grumpiness: “It’s early morning, and you’re not sleeping, fidgeting about, and woke me up.”

As she said this, she raised her fist and gave Zhang Chen’s thigh a couple of punches, but still felt unsatisfied, so she flipped Zhang Chen over and took revenge on his backside, saying happily as if getting payback for a big grudge: “Back in the day, I always thought that someday I’d have you under me and take a couple of slices off your backside. At the very least, beating you up daily would get rid of the anger in my heart.”

“Want to beat me up to vent anger? I think I’ll beat you instead! You little girl, if not taught for even a day, you’ll defy the heavens. Today, I’ll let you taste my might.” Unwilling to be pressed under Zhong Xiang, Zhang Chen flipped over and pinned Zhong Xiang, and then gave her a good thrashing.

Outside the door

Chengyu stood outside the door, listening to the commotion inside, her little face couldn’t help but flush, spitting: “Pah! Simply shameless!”

Then she stamped her foot and turned to disappear into the yard.

By afternoon, Zhang Chen was sitting in the yard basking in the sun when a shadow lurked into the courtyard, eyed Zhang Chen lounging on the recliner and suddenly darted forward to bite Zhang Chen’s thigh.

“Damn dog, let go of me!” Zhang Chen was startled by the sudden appearance of the Big Black Dog, immediately flipped over and tried to gouge out the dog’s eye.

“Woof woof!” The Big Black Dog barked discontentedly, its voice full of anger.

“Why are you biting me again? I didn’t provoke you!” Zhang Chen, bitten by the Big Black Dog, ran out of patience, knowing it’s futile to argue with animals, he scolded helplessly.

“You’ve actually cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill. How did you do it?” The Big Black Dog stared at Zhang Chen: “If you don’t tell me your secret, I won’t let go! I want to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill too!”

In this era where Immortal Dao is severed, Zhang Chen managed to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, which in the Big Black Dog’s eyes was akin to a miracle.

As for how the Big Black Dog noticed Zhang Chen cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, being most familiar with it, the Big Black Dog noticed traces of it the moment Zhang Chen appeared before him yesterday. In the End of the Dharma era where it’s impossible, Zhang Chen appeared as a miracle, and he surely wanted to figure it out.

Regarding how the dog managed to pass through tight security to enter the heavily guarded Zhang Family? It simply didn’t leave at all yesterday.

“So it’s about this!” Zhang Chen let go of the dog’s eye, having cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, the Big Black Dog couldn’t break his skin, only causing him slight pain.

“I actually have a question for you. If you can answer it, I can tell you the secret of cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.” Zhang Chen smiled: “How about we exchange?”

The Big Black Dog hesitated but ultimately let go: “What do you want to ask?”

“Do you know the whereabouts of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill?” Zhang Chen inquired.

The Big Black Dog was taken aback, looking at Zhang Chen in surprise: “Didn’t expect you, a native, to know about the existence of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill?”

Being despised by a dog, Zhang Chen’s mood was evident, his expression darkened as he glared at the Big Black Dog: “Quick, spill!”

“I don’t know where the Eight-Nine Profound Skill is, but I know of a clue.” The Big Black Dog said.

Zhang Chen’s face lit up with joy: “Hurry and tell me.”

“In the Spiritual World, there’s an Ancient Celestial Palace called the Ancient Celestial Court, where all types of Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques are collected. If you can enter, you can definitely find the whereabouts of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill.”

The Big Black Dog grinned mischievously, revealing the information without hesitation.

The Celestial Palace is located in the Thirty-Three Heavens, and he doesn’t believe this local Zhang Chen has any chance of entering it.

“Quickly, tell me how you cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill?” the Big Black Dog pressed Zhang Chen.

“The reason is simple. I acquired many elixirs from the ancient Kunlun Mountain, which contain incredible power, allowing me to succeed in cultivation,” Zhang Chen fibbed to the Big Black Dog.

“Elixirs from ancient Kunlun Mountain? How did you acquire them? Are elixirs hidden within ancient Kunlun Mountain?” The Big Black Dog muttered upon hearing Zhang Chen, suddenly jolting upright and staring at him. It recalled that during ancient times, a certain palace might indeed contain hidden elixirs.

It remembered the traitor of the Primordial World!

The Queen Mother of the West was the first to enter this world and even spread false information to the outside, tricking all the primordial divine beings into the new world, trapping them to death here. The hatred for the Queen Mother among everyone was extreme, wishing to skin her alive.

The hatred was beyond measure!

Zhang Chen mentioned that the place claimed to be Kunlun Mountain with numerous elixirs, besides the Queen Mother of the West, he could think of no one else.

“Did you find the Queen Mother’s hiding place?” The Big Black Dog stared at Zhang Chen intensely.

“I found it! I cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill using the elixirs from the Queen Mother’s tomb,” Zhang Chen replied.

The Big Black Dog grinned, showing its sinister teeth: “Did you dig up the Queen Mother’s remains? Is that woman dead or not?”

When the words ‘that woman’ were uttered, Zhang Chen sensed the atmosphere in his Ice Hell freeze, hairs standing on end as he stared at the Big Black Dog, disbelief in his eyes: “This beast is indeed bold, daring to call the Queen Mother ‘that woman’?”

The Big Black Dog also sensed something unusual in the atmosphere, glancing around with surprise. “Why does the air feel chilly? Do you feel it too?”

Zhang Chen was speechless, watching the Big Black Dog cautiously, fearing the Queen Mother might tear open the Ice Hell to slap the Big Black Dog to death.

“Did you find that woman’s corpse?” The Big Black Dog didn’t notice Zhang Chen’s facial changes, impatiently asking again.

With the words ‘that woman’ spoken again, the familiar cold descended. Next moment, the Big Black Dog’s tail caught fire, causing it to yelp in pain, lunging at Zhang Chen’s leg to bite.

This Big Black Dog had peculiar abilities, and Zhang Chen couldn’t dodge the aggressive bite from the Big Black Dog, getting bitten directly.

“Why are you biting me again!” Zhang Chen angrily grabbed the Big Black Dog’s eyes.

“You actually set my tail on fire! I, your ancestor, will fight you!” The Big Black Dog cursed angrily, voice filled with embarrassment.

Seeing the Big Black Dog’s tail still ablaze, Zhang Chen realized it was the Queen Mother’s doing, mistakenly accused by the Big Black Dog of setting its tail on fire.

“Let go! Who set your tail on fire!” Zhang Chen scolded.

“Only the two of us are here, who else but you could have done it? Could it be I set my own tail on fire?” The Big Black Dog refused to release, biting firmly.

“First, extinguish the fire, or I’ll be having roast dog tonight,” Zhang Chen retorted helplessly.

The Big Black Dog eventually couldn’t endure and, with resignation, released its bite, turning to extinguish the flames.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Big Black Dog’s tail, now hairless from the fire, couldn’t hold back laughter, chuckling aloud.

“You bastard, how dare you laugh! I’ll never let this go!” The Big Black Dog enraged by Zhang Chen’s laughter, lunged again but was caught by Zhang Chen’s grasp. “Foolish dog, why would I set your tail on fire?”

The Big Black Dog was dumbfounded, staring at Zhang Chen: Indeed, he has no reason to mess with my tail?

The Big Black Dog sensed something amiss, especially remembering the inexplicable chill felt earlier, feeling guilty, avoiding Zhang Chen’s gaze, looking afar with eyes filled with a hint of horror, calmly asking: “Did you find the Queen Mother’s corpse? Now the Queen Mother is that wom…”

Before ‘an’ could be spoken, the familiar chill returned, terrifying the Big Black Dog into quickly changing its words: “How is the Queen Mother now? I do truly miss her, wishing her good health.”
