I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World-Chapter 568 - 296: Fruit Level Power - Fire Extinguishing Pearl 2

Chapter 568: Chapter 296: Fruit Level Power - Fire Extinguishing Pearl 2

Of course, he could also call that group of people outside to enter the secret chamber for investigation, but this chamber involves many secrets of the Yellow Heaven Dao, and he absolutely cannot allow this to happen.

Currently, the Divine Position in the Pool of Faith is being nurtured. If those wolves outside discover it, they will certainly stop at nothing to seize it.

This is a Divine Position, with allure no less than that of the Tree of Life Coffin.

"Only a few people within the Yellow Heaven Dao know about the existence of the underground chamber. Could it be that there’s a traitor among us? Or perhaps those outsiders blindly stumbled upon it, and the rumor spreader hit the mark?" Gu Mingyue worriedly scratched his head.

Just as Gu Mingyue was brooding, Liu Feng walked in from outside, bowing respectfully to Gu Mingyue: "Ancestor, the disciples at the foot of the mountain have sent word. The rumors have been thoroughly investigated. Someone is secretly spreading news that the Tree of Life Coffin is beneath our Huangli Temple. Prince Pingbian already sent someone to inquire, but the disciples brushed them off."

"Prince Pingbian is such a fool. How could he believe such news?" Gu Mingyue was so angry he wanted to curse.

Liu Feng sighed helplessly: "The Tree of Life Coffin mysteriously disappeared in the Northern Land; people have dug three feet into the ground but still couldn’t discover its whereabouts. Now suddenly there’s a rumor circulating, after all, it provides everyone with a little clue. Everyone naturally adopts the attitude of rather killing wrongly than letting go, wanting to verify."

Gu Mingyue’s eyes turned to the Pool of Faith, knowing the most troubling part is that the Yellow Heaven Dao simply cannot prove its innocence.

Should they call those people to the secret chamber to witness the birth of the Divine Position? It’s simply a joke, that would be like inviting wolves into the house. Those scoundrels would undoubtedly be tempted upon seeing the Divine Position in the chamber.

"Trouble indeed! It’s truly troublesome!" Liu Feng sighed helplessly.

"The real trouble hasn’t even started yet. This is just the beginning. Next, I’m afraid all the major nobles will inquire through the various branches of the Yellow Heaven Dao, suspecting our Huangli Temple. If we can’t provide a satisfactory explanation, those insane lawless folks will surely send experts to test us directly. You go and send word to Prince Pingbian’s Mansion, invite Prince Pingbian to lead an army of ten thousand to our Daoist Temple for a discussion. It’s a crucial time; Huangli Temple cannot withstand any disturbance. We can only invite Prince Pingbian’s Mansion to intervene and then have an open conversation." Gu Mingyue pondered for a moment before giving out his advice.

The anticipated friction between Huangli Temple and Prince Pingbian’s Mansion that Zhang Chen predicted did not occur. Zhang Chen was quietly lurking next door, devouring the Power of Faith from the incense wafting from the chamber walls.

As time slowly passed, witnessing the Power of Faith breakthrough the eight million point mark, Zhang Chen gently exhaled, knowing: "Things have finally succeeded!"

Opening the Golden Finger Interface, his skill information appeared on the interface:

[12 Skills (Twelfth Tier): Fire Extinguishing Rune (0/8192000)]

[Points: 8267523]

With a thought, Zhang Chen clicked the upgrade button, and in the next moment, the Incense Fate directly evaporated, and the information on the Golden Finger Interface exploded, transforming into countless snowflakes, which then reformed into runes. The runes rapidly reorganized:

[12 Skills (Innate): Fire Extinguishing Pearl]

[Note 1: Unharmed by Innate Fire]

"Another Innate Skill?" Zhang Chen glanced at the Fire Extinguishing Pearl, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes: "Is the end of the skill Innate Divine Techniques? Is there a skill beyond the Innate level?"

"There must be! Only my skill potential is such, not that my Golden Finger is weak," Zhang Chen thought to himself.

For his 12 Skills to require so few points, why bother with anything else?

Take a look at his first skill, Light of the True God, which is a veritable money pit.

He harbors great expectations for Light of the True God, hoping that one day it will break through barriers and reach unprecedented heights.

At this moment, the Cyan Lotus Inner Treasure Light within Zhang Chen’s Magical Power Cyan Lotus flickered. Beside the watery blue pearl, suddenly a deep blue pearl emerged, glowing faintly red, occupying half of the Cyan Lotus alongside the watery blue pearl.

Meanwhile, the Golden Scissors swam freely like a fish in the red and blue light, completely unaffected by the two pearls.

"If I meet Zhong Xiang again in the future, I must give him a surprise, make him understand why flowers are so red." Looking at the Golden Finger Interface, Zhang Chen’s mouth curled into an uncontrollable smile, his pride more difficult to suppress than AK.

Zhang Chen then scanned his skill interface, searching for the next cost-effective upgrade target:

[6 Skills (Extreme): Forget Form (0/400000)]

The sixth skill is the Visualization Technique. Zhang Chen has an intuition that if his Visualization Technique breaks through again, he might reach a higher heaven in the Spiritual World, though he hasn’t given it much thought temporarily since his cultivation is still too low. He utterly did not wish to continue upgrading, at least wanting to fully grasp First Heaven before proceeding.

As Zhang Chen’s gaze passed over the rest of the skills, all requiring millions. Even upgrading them might require a tenfold increase in points, which he simply cannot afford to upgrade right now. So he had to temporarily suspend these choices to pick the more worthwhile skills, ultimately focusing his gaze on the fifteen skills:

[15 Skills (First Tier): Hard Earth Talisman (0/4000)]

The upgrade of the fifteen skills unexpectedly requires four thousand points, instantly piquing Zhang Chen’s interest. It must be known that while Light of the True God was being upgraded, moving from First Tier to Second Tier didn’t require so many points either, did it?

This skill fell from the Twelfth Tier mysterious sphere, and upon upgrading from First Tier to Second Tier requires four thousand points, immediately drawing Zhang Chen’s attention and intriguing him somewhat.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Chen temporarily chose to desist, not continuing the upgrade on the Hard Earth Talisman. He felt that if that Twelfth Tier mysterious sphere shattered, it surely would drop skills for him, better to wait until then and see.

The most crucial thing is, Zhang Chen somewhat looks down upon the Hard Earth Talisman, which simply solidifies the earth as if it’s of no use. No matter how hard the earth becomes, what use does it serve? What difference does it make?

Whether dealing with enemies or supporting oneself, it holds no practical value.

As for the other skills, upgrading them is too inefficient given Zhang Chen’s current situation; it doesn’t improve his situation at all. Upgrading would instead be a waste of points, so he might as well save them for critical moments.

"After gathering more points next, I’ll just store them temporarily. Maybe they’ll save my life when it matters," Zhang Chen quietly murmured.

He somewhat anticipates the drop from the Twelfth Tier mysterious sphere, and if it does drop skills, upgrading them promptly would be the safest approach.

Time seems to have taken on a leisurely pace, with Zhang Chen gathering points daily, eating and drinking without any pressure.

So two more days passed, and suddenly a commotion arose at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Chen stood in the courtyard, listening to the noise from the mountain’s base, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise: "Oh, sounds like quite a crowd has gathered at the foot of the mountain?"

While Zhang Chen was wondering, Xiaodouding walked in from outside, his gaze filled with seriousness: "I heard people say, a ten-thousand strong army has arrived at the foot of the mountain. Prince Pingbian personally came to the Daoist Temple."

"Prince Pingbian came personally?" Zhang Chen’s heart skipped a beat, thoughts racing in his mind. He recalled the rumor he spread about the secret chamber at Huangli Temple and couldn’t help but feel a bit schadenfreude: "Could the Prince be attempting to seize the throne himself, which is why he deployed ten thousand troops to surround the mountain gate?"

The gathering of ten thousand soldiers, with a majestic convergence of fate and the Power of the Human Dao, the entire Daoist Temple was suppressed by an inexplicable Qi Mechanism, leaving the Yin Spirit unable to emerge one bit.

Even Yang God strongmen, facing such vast Qi Mechanism, would retreat thrice over, exceedingly apprehensive.

"Now this will be a good show, hopefully, Yellow Heaven Dao and Prince Pingbian’s Mansion will clash, a real dog-eat-dog situation." Zhang Chen secretly muttered. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
