I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World-Chapter 622 - 323: Breaking into the Spiritual World

Zhang Chen only felt that within his Dantian, a piece of Chaos had appeared, and within that void and Chaos, a bolt of electric light suddenly shot forth, instantly piercing through Yin and Yang, from which a point of spiritual light was born.

Then, the Five-Colored Divine Light skill of Zhang Chen suddenly transformed into a cluster of colorful light and merged with that point of spiritual light, rolling and trembling incessantly as one.

"It turns out that the so-called Mystic Gate is not an acupoint in the physical body, but an acupoint existing within the soul. This acupoint is wondrous, and can also be referred to as the Mysterious Gate—the very foundation of Qi Cultivator’s insight into the Law of Heaven and Earth." Zhang Chen looked at the opened acupoint within his soul, pondering deeply.

The Mystic Gate is mysterious beyond belief and wondrous beyond measure; it is fundamental for one’s ability to connect with Heaven and Earth.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

"With this, my Qi cultivation technique has reached the second realm of practice successfully, and all my Divine Techniques can be amplified twofold when powered by magical power." Zhang Chen stood there, contemplating.

Magical power can not only provide energy for skills but also amplify one’s own skills.

"But what exactly is the Mystic Gate? I cannot quite explain it, as if something is being nurtured within it." Although Zhang Chen had opened the Mystic Gate, he couldn’t articulate what it truly was.

"Perhaps it’s more prudent to describe the Mystic Gate as a Spirit Root or as an Immortal Seed for cultivating immortality." Zhang Chen pondered.

"Enough of this. Now that the Qi cultivation has reached the second realm, I should venture into the Spiritual World for exploration. If I find the legendary foundations of Buzhou Mountain and refine them into the Mountain-moving Technique, I would have a legitimate offensive maneuver when facing enemies." With this thought, Zhang Chen instructed Xiaodouding before transforming into mist and departing.

Zhang Chen flew along the journey transformed as cloud and mist, while pondering about his dear niece. He wondered how she was faring in the Spiritual World’s First Heaven. But now that the space passage was successfully built, it meant his niece’s cultivation succeeded.

He desired to explore the Spiritual World through the Meditation Void to search for his niece but decided against it upon recalling the nearby Big Black Dog.

How vast is the Spiritual World? The chance of finding his niece through meditation is less than one in ten thousand, yet the probability of being found by that pesky Big Black Dog is a full hundred percent.

Zhang Chen wished he could stay far away from that Big Black Dog, never to meet that beast again.

"Huh~ why are there so many people?" As Zhang Chen made his way to the black hole, he saw from a distance that the space passage was crowded with people.

At a glance, there appeared to be at least tens of thousands of people gathered, densely packed.

Among the crowd, there were tens of thousands of soldiers from Prince Pingbian’s mansion, and a thousand experts from the Northern Land’s Inspection and Supervision Department, as well as groups from various families forming small groups, distinctly surrounding the mountain.

"Quite a crowd coming for the excitement." Zhang Chen landed, turned his clothing inside out, smeared mud on his face for a commoner’s disguise, and blended into the bustling crowd, listening to the announcements ringing out:

"The Hedong Li Family is recruiting warriors to explore the secret realm. Take a trip inside and earn a thousand taels of silver."

"The Huabei Wang Family is recruiting villagers to explore the secret realm, offering fifteen hundred taels of silver."

"Form a group! Form a group to explore the secret realm; experts above Huajin, come quickly!"

...

Shouts and calls echoed like a market, continuously filling the air, and Zhang Chen, looking at one recruitment group after another as if selling energy, nearly mistook it for his previous life era when playing online games.

"Young Master Zhang, you came too." As Zhang Chen secretly observed, a voice suddenly came from beside him, and Huang Chao appeared behind Zhang Chen out of nowhere.

"I put on a disguise, and you still recognized me?" Zhang Chen was surprised upon seeing Huang Chao.

"Young Master, you forgot my skills. I can change in a thousand ways and see through a person’s essence." Huang Chao approached with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen carefully examined Huang Chao, noticing that he seemed unaffected by the Cursed Demon God, but didn’t delve further and instead asked, "What’s the situation now?"

"Prince Pingbian’s mansion is recruiting ten thousand laborers to explore the secret realm. Other influential forces from afar, unable to recruit laborers, simply spend lavishly to hire civilians and hunters to explore the secret realm. I came upon hearing the news." Huang Chao explained.

Zhang Chen glanced at Huang Chao, knowing this guy mastered transformation techniques and can surely accomplish much in the Spiritual World.

As for whether Huang Chao could use the Divine Techniques in the Spiritual World?

Joking—The Cursed Demon God is an exceedingly ancient Divine Spirit, even princesses can use Divine Techniques in the Spiritual World, so the Cursed Demon God would have no issue.

"Should we form a group?" Huang Chao’s eyes gleamed at Zhang Chen with a hint of expectation.

Zhang Chen shook his head upon hearing this, "I have important matters to attend to in the other world; it’s not suitable for forming a group with others."

Huang Chao showed disappointment upon hearing this and shook his head.

Zhang Chen looked at the dark entrance to the black hole and asked, "How do we get in?"

"Simply stride in. This entrance is shared by beings across the world, who would dare set a threshold here? They must be sick of living!" Huang Chao laughed, "Even Prince Pingbian’s mansion wouldn’t dare monopolize this entrance."
