Chapter 590: Chapter 307: Breaking Through to the Hidden Chamber! (Part 2)

"Miluo River Water God Divine Position." The moment Zhang Chen saw the blue runes, a thought jumped into his mind.

"Wow, this is actually the divine position of the Miluo River Water God. I wonder if I can use the Devouring Skill to swallow it? Or maybe seize it? That would vent the anger in my heart!" Zhang Chen’s mind was flickering with thoughts.

Indeed, he really thought it might be possible! He had mastered the Sea Calming Divine Pearl, which could suppress thousands of seas. Could it also suppress the divine position of the Miluo River Water God?

However, Zhang Chen did not act rashly for now. Instead, he scanned the entire stone chamber with his eyes and noticed on the left side of the chamber there was a bookshelf with rows of books, which immediately caught his attention.

Zhang Chen activated his Dharma Eye to observe the books on the wall. Seeing no mysterious power flowing through them, he realized they were just ordinary books, which left him somewhat disappointed. Nonetheless, he stepped forward to take out the books and examine them in his hands: "It’s just some ledgers and registries."

Zhang Chen glanced at them and felt some disappointment as he kept pulling out books from the shelves. Eventually, he discovered a book made of leather at the very top.

"This book is interesting." Zhang Chen took the leather-bound book in his hands and examined it. When he opened it, he found that it recorded the Yellow Heaven Dao’s True Dragon Form and the Secret Techniques from Ming Jin to Sitting Cross-legged and Embracing the Core.

"This book is quite good. Even if I can’t use it, my little brothers and sisters can." Zhang Chen carefully put away the leather book, then scanned the entire secret chamber with his eyes but found no trace of the Tree of Life Coffin.

"No Tree of Life Coffin, it seems I was wrong." Zhang Chen felt a bit disappointed. The whereabouts of the Tree of Life Coffin were too mysterious, not knowing where that Imperial Eunuch had hidden it.

He then turned to look at the Pool of Faith, finding it quite intriguing since the pool could absorb faith from all over the world, which was bizarre. If he could obtain this secret technique, maybe he could gather the Power of Faith as well?

"I have a way to steal others’ Power of Faith, why bother spending effort to spread faith myself? It’s really not worth the trouble." After pondering briefly, Zhang Chen gave up the idea of stealing the Pool of Faith; moreover, it was embedded in the ground, and he couldn’t take it away.

Zhang Chen carefully observed the Pool of Faith, noticing countless incomprehensible runes carved into its inner walls, flickering with a mysterious power, but Zhang Chen’s Dao Practice was limited, so he couldn’t understand them.

"Huh, wait... Something seems off... There’s something at the bottom of the Pool of Faith." While Zhang Chen was scrutinizing the pool’s secrets, he suddenly sensed something. He saw a box continually floating up and down at the bottom of the pool.

"There’s actually a box at the bottom of the Pool of Faith?" Zhang Chen immediately became interested.

However, at this moment, there was still a shallow layer of Power of Faith in the pool, just covering the box, so Zhang Chen didn’t act rashly.

This Pool of Faith was of utmost importance to Huangli Temple, so he dared not make reckless moves lest he attract the high officials of Huangli Temple.

Just as Zhang Chen was pondering how to retrieve the box, the last bit of Power of Faith in the pool was drained by the Divine Position, and at that moment, the Divine Position, filled with a whole pool’s worth of faith, immediately burst into a brilliant blue divine light, rising magnificently to soar into the sky.

"Freeze!"

Seeing the Divine Position about to leave, Zhang Chen, without further ado, activated the Water Stabilizing Pearl. A blue beam of light radiated from the Sea Calming Divine Pearl, enveloping the Divine Position.

The Divine Position seemed to sense the threat, like a startled rabbit, and as the light from the Sea Calming Divine Pearl descended, it sped up.

Yet, the light from the Sea Calming Divine Pearl still managed to brush against the Divine Position, and a glow fell from it.

"It’s a skill! Unexpectedly, a skill actually dropped here?"

Seeing the blue light drop, Zhang Chen was overjoyed. Even if he didn’t obtain the Divine Position, just getting a skill was worth it, wasn’t it?

[Skill found dropped, do you wish to pick it up?]

"Pick it up!" Zhang Chen immediately responded without a second thought.

The next moment, the cluster of blue light flew up, was absorbed by the Golden Finger Interface, and then Zhang Chen’s Golden Finger Interface flickered, and a light flowed. Suddenly, Zhang Chen acquired a new skill:

[New Skill: Water Flow Control]

"Water Flow Control? Isn’t that the same as my Water Control Technique?" Zhang Chen looked at the new skill, feeling that it was somewhat redundant and useless to him.

At this time, the Golden Finger Interface refreshed again: [Skill attributes overlapping detected, Water Control Technique and Water Flow Control can be combined. After merging, either skill can be chosen for an upgrade.]

Seeing this, Zhang Chen was stirred, and his eyes fell upon his original skill, the Water Control Technique:

[Level 4 Skill (Tier Four): Water Control Technique + Weak Water (0/5000000)]

The four-level skill upgrade required five million points, and now he could designate it to upgrade once, essentially gaining five million points for free, which was quite useful.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen directly clicked the Golden Finger, then watched as the Water Control Technique upgraded:

[Level 4 Skill (Tier Five): Water Control Technique + Weak Water (0/50000000)]

[Remark 1: Capable of controlling all water flow within a thousand meters, freezing range of ten meters]

The remark was simple, but Zhang Chen looked at it for a while, his eyes gradually lighting up: "All flowing water within a thousand meters? If I’m by a big river, wouldn’t that be heaven-defying?"

How long is a thousand meters?

A normal track is 200 meters per lap, how far are five laps? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Not bad, really not bad!"

Zhang Chen quietly praised, "I just wonder if the power of my Water Control Technique can compete with the authority of the Water God, and which will have greater control?"

With a thought, Zhang Chen activated the Water Control Technique, and the water flow in the air turned into mist, enveloping the entire Daoist Temple. He could vaguely sense the traces of all living things within the entire Daoist Temple through the movement of the mist.

"Amazing, a thousand meters radius, enveloping the entire Daoist Temple. Especially with the deeper underground water, I’m practically omniscient." Zhang Chen thought to himself.

While Zhang Chen was sensing the situation, changes were happening outside.

As the Divine Position broke through the rock and soared away, it spanned the void and landed directly atop the sacrificial altar, hovering above it.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the Divine Position high above the altar, their eyes filled with fervor.

"Everyone, look, this is the Natural Divine Position of our Yellow Heaven Dao, the Divine Position of the Miluo River Water God. Whoever obtains this Divine Position can achieve immortality and share life and death with the Miluo River. As long as the Miluo River exists, the Divine Spirit will not perish! Thus, one can escape the shackles of lifespan and attain the same longevity as the heavens." Liu Feng stood on the altar, slowly introducing to the onlookers.

Hearing the words "immortality," everyone’s breaths quickened, their eyes filled with fervor.

"Is there really immortality in this world? Even the Ancient Gods perished in the timeline of history. Is there truly an energy so powerful it can grant immortality?" Xie Lingyun’s voice carried disbelief.

A certain noble beside her took over, "Whether immortality can be achieved depends on this time! If it can really grant immortality, I am willing to give everything to exchange for Yellow Heaven Dao’s Immortal Divine Position. If it’s fake, Yellow Heaven Dao might suffer a lethal blow from all major forces, losing the reason for its existence."

Immortality! This is the greatest obsession of all emperors and ministers of this lifetime.

As the saying goes, "To gain a thousand coins, one desires ten thousand; having been an emperor, one longs to become an immortal."

For emperors and ministers, and great nobles, the only pursuit in living is to live as long as possible.

At this point, a wisp of purple light rose from the east; the much-anticipated moment finally arrived. Liu Feng stopped the ritual, and a Daoist child carried a tray swiftly to Liu Feng’s side. The tray was covered with red silk, which Liu Feng casually pulled away, revealing a scroll.

"By the decree of the Supreme Yellow Heaven, the Great Virtuous Master’s decree, today the Divine Position of the Miluo River Water God is consecrated." Liu Feng slowly lifted the scroll from the tray, scanning through the various guests, and then loudly declared, "Where is Ma Zhou of Yellow Heaven Dao?"

No response after a moment, Liu Feng secretly felt smug, but felt compelled to call out, "Where is Ma Zhou?"
