I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 168 The Mystery of the Twelfth Level

Obviously, all this does not make sense.

Zhang Chen thought carefully for a while: "It seems that whether it is the stone tablet or the dragon energy, they are skills that are dropped after being attacked by my Light of Righteousness. Does it mean that skills need to be attacked to drop? But what about my Light of Righteousness?"

His Light of Righteousness is a skill that automatically drops when he listens to the recitation of scriptures.

"Could it be that the twelfth-order mystery is the same kind of weirdness as the stone tablet and dragon energy, and the scriptures are another kind of weirdness?" Zhang Chen was puzzled, but he was not in a hurry. After a few more experiments, he would be able to master all the rules.

Zhang Chen turned into mist and rose higher and higher, but even so, it took him three hours to reach the same height as the ball.

"But how do I collect the twelfth-level mystery?"

Zhang Chen tried hard to circle around the ball, and suddenly found that he could not collect the twelfth-level mystery, or he simply did not know how to collect it.
"What the hell... was this carelessness?" Zhang Chen sighed helplessly. He could only turn around and float out of the stone chamber, then transformed into a human form and summoned out the fox fairy Nannan.

As soon as the fox fairy Nannan appeared, she was frightened by the terrifying Yellow River Talisman Formation. A gust of cold wind blew through the Yellow River Talisman Formation, making her soul shake, as if it could fall apart at any time, as if the cold wind would blow her soul away if it increased its strength a little bit.

"What the hell is this place?" The fox fairy Nannan was so frightened that she turned pale and went straight into Zhang Chen's arms. She could feel that it was the only place where she could be safe.

"This is my method, don't be afraid. Your soul is connected to mine. Although this cold wind is strong, it can't hurt you." Zhang Chen smiled and comforted.

At the same time, feeling the curvy figure of the fox fairy, her orchid-like fragrance, and looking at her beautiful face with a delicate and timid look, he finally understood what a foxy girl was, and he was seduced so much that his cock became hard.

"This is my own skill!" Zhang Chen secretly warned himself: "She has merged into my soul. She is a part of my soul. Fucking her is like fucking myself."

Zhang Chen kept admonishing himself, and then pushed the vixen away. The vixen came back to her senses at this time, looked Zhang Chen up and down, and noticed Zhang Chen's embarrassment, especially the spear, which made her laugh suddenly. Zhang Chen was very irritated and embarrassed, and he became angry: "If you dare to laugh again, don't blame me for punishing you."

The fox fairy Nannan raised her lips and did not argue with Zhang Chen. Instead, she smiled and said, "Why did you summon me out this time?"

She knew Zhang Chen too well. He was definitely the type who would not visit him unless he had something important to ask.

Zhang Chen's eyebrows twitched, and he turned his back to the fox fairy Nannan: "Let me ask you, if you meet Mysterious, how can you subdue Mysterious and use him for your own benefit?"

"Have you found the mysterious object?" The fox fairy Nannan was stunned when she heard this.

Zhang Chen did not answer the fox fairy's words, but said shyly: "Just answer, why ask so many questions?"

After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Fox Fairy Nannan knew that Zhang Chen was thin-skinned, but she did not dare to continue teasing him, lest she suffer the consequences: "There is only one way to conquer Mysterious, and that is to gain Mysterious's recognition. Only when Mysterious actively recognizes and accepts you, can you use Mysterious's power to cleanse your marrow and remove your hair, and use Mysterious's power to fight the enemy."

"Can we only accept it passively? Is there no way to actively master the mystery?" Zhang Chen asked.

Fox Fairy Nannan shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. Since ancient times, mysterious beings have always taken the initiative to find their masters. I have never heard of anyone being able to take the initiative to subdue mysterious beings."

Seeing that he could not get anything out of the fox fairy Nannan, Zhang Chen turned the fox fairy Nannan into a rune and put it into the dragon energy. Then he looked towards his own formation. No outsiders had entered the Yellow River Talisman Formation. It seemed that Xie Xuan had not done anything to him or done anything secretly to him.

Zhang Chen withdrew his thoughts from the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation:

"Fox Fairy Nannan doesn't know how to collect the twelfth-order secret. I wonder if the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon knows."

Zhang Chen took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, uncorked it, and saw the Great Freedom Demon directly transformed into a puff of black smoke and drilled out of the bottle: "Boy, you finally remembered me, your ancestor. That little bottle is small and stuffy... Shit, what the hell is this? The Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation???"

The Great Freedom Demon condensed into a human form in the air and was about to complain, but when he saw the large formation unfolding in front of him, he was so shocked that he burst into swearing, his voice full of disbelief.

"Is this the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation? This is the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation! How did you get into this formation? You are dead this time, no one in the world can save you!" The Great Freedom Demon took another careful look at the swirling energy around him, and then finally confirmed that it was indeed the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation in front of him. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he looked at Zhang Chen with a gloating look.

It’s good that Zhang Chen died. He will be free then and no one can control him anymore.

"Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen, although you are a young hero and even I, your ancestor, have been defeated by you, you are really unlucky. You are trapped in the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation. Didn't you want to comprehend the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation before? Now the real Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation is in front of you. You have died a worthy death. Your wish has been fulfilled before you die."

The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was high-pitched and excited, and his heart was filled with extraordinary joy. He did not conceal the feeling of gloating in other people's misfortune.

Facing the dancing Great Freedom Heavenly Demon, Zhang Chen sighed: "Do you think there is another possibility, that is, this Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation was actually cultivated by me?"

The smile on the Great Freedom Demon's face froze, and then he reacted and said, "Impossible! First of all, not to mention that you only got one of the 365 runes, you can't even find the Yellow Spring Water. And to practice this formation, you need at least a twelfth-level existence. Although you have some skills...tsk tsk, it's not that I look down on you, you don't deserve it!"

The Great Freedom Demon came to his senses and began to mock Zhang Chen.

Then Zhang Chen controlled the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, and an inexplicable force suppressed the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon. Then the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon's face immediately changed, and his eyes stared at Zhang Chen. Although Zhang Chen stood in the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, he saw that the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation could not do anything to him. "How is this possible!" The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon's brain crashed, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"You said there was only one page of talismans... Have you ever thought about it? The book actually has 365 talismans. Excluding the five runes including the invisibility talisman, there are exactly 360 runes left." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Even if the book really contains a complete set of talismans, it has only been a few days. Not to mention refining runes, it is impossible for you to even master the essence of a rune, right?" The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was still full of disbelief: "Could it be that you have mastered some kind of illusion to tease me?"

Zhang Chen ignored the mad Great Freedom Demon and asked, "Do you know how to subdue the mysterious? I heard that the mysteries in this world actively look for their masters. Is there a way to actively subdue the mysterious?"

Zhang Chen didn't think that the twelfth-level mystery would automatically recognize itself as its master, because he had been to the cave several times and had just had close contact with it in person. If the twelfth-level mystery really recognized itself as its master, it should have been under his control by now.

The Great Freedom Demon was a little confused at this time, staring blankly at the Yellow River Talisman Formation in front of him, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock. Until Zhang Chen spoke again, the Great Freedom Demon said: "What you said about the mystery recognizing the master is indeed true in theory, but you are different. You are a special existence. You master magic power. Magic power has a nourishing and warming effect on any mystery. As long as you infuse the magic power into the mystery, the mystery will not resist the influx of your magic power. You just need to take the opportunity to leave your mark in the mystery, and even if the mystery recognizes the master, you only need to use magic power to constantly nourish and refine it every day, and the mystery will naturally be used by you and gradually mastered by you."

"Is it that simple?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of disbelief. He never thought that things could be so simple.

"Simple? How is it simple? You should know that since ancient times, you are the only one who can cultivate magical powers." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"So what is the mystery?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The essence of the laws of heaven and earth condensed together to form the mystery. Therefore, the mystery will carry the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and can enable people to master incredible magical powers. But it should be noted that the cycle of heaven has increases and decreases. The creatures in this world use the mystery, but there is no magic power to nourish the divine power. Every time the mysterious power is exerted, it will cause the loss of the mysterious power, so the mystery has to devour the life of the creatures to nourish itself. But the life of each creature is mixed with the spirit of the creature. After several generations of masters, the spirit it absorbs is mixed, which will only pollute the purity of the essence of the laws of heaven and earth. The life of all living beings is a poison that the mystery has to drink. In this way, the power of the mystery is weaker than the previous generation, and finally it is so mixed that it dissipates. Of course, there are also some mysteries that accidentally opened up their spiritual wisdom when absorbing the life of the creatures. That is also an extraordinary existence. You must be careful when you meet it in the future." The Great Freedom Demon dealt with Zhang Chen casually in his mouth, and at this time his eyes were fixed on the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Array in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.

"How can we leave a mark in the mystery?" Zhang Chen asked.

"This is actually quite simple. Transmit a bit of your spirit, energy and soul into it along with the magic power, and that will leave a mark. From now on, you just need to mix your spirit, energy and soul with the magic power and infiltrate it into the mystery like sand." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"I understand. Come back." Zhang Chen held the bottle in his hand and looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

The Great Freedom Demon turned his head and stared at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes full of disbelief: "Boy, did you really practice this Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation?"

"I learned it myself." Zhang Chen was very proud at this moment.

How could he not be happy that the old fellow Mahadeva was humiliated like this?

Extremely happy.

Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Chen deeply, and finally looked at the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, then turned into black smoke and drilled into the bottle.

Zhang Chen put away the bottle, then looked at the mystery of the twelfth level, thinking in his heart: "The next step is to infuse magic power into it."

Zhang Chen turned his body and turned into a stream of water, flowing into the stone chamber again, then turned into mist and floated in front of the bead, circling around the bead, then slowly approached the bead, and finally stuck to the bead like dew, then the magic power in his body flowed and poured into the bead.

Zhang Chen can mobilize his magic power in the water mist state. After all, his magic power can also activate his skills, right?
As magic power was poured into the beads, a wisp of Zhang Chen's spirit was mixed in and poured into the beads. Zhang Chen suddenly felt that he had a slight inexplicable connection with the beads in front of him. Then, a light flashed in front of his eyes, and he came to a huge and mysterious world. In this world, there were countless chains crisscrossing, forming a mysterious chain of order.

Zhang Chen looked closely. Where were the chains? They were clearly countless runes linked together, forming an extremely large network of order.

At a glance, the network of order is so densely packed that there are probably billions of them.

However, on those countless webs of order, there were complex auras covering them, making the chains that were originally shining brightly seem to be polluted, and the light began to dim.

"That must be the spirit of the previous owners of this bead. However, there are not many chains covered by the spirit of the previous owners. There are only three." Zhang Chen looked at the dusty chains and guessed in his heart: "Perhaps a few chains are polluted, which means that this mystery has gone through several owners."

The next moment, the fog outside converged and turned into the appearance of Zhang Chen. At this time, the light of the bead also gradually converged and turned into an ochre-colored bead. The material of the bead was like a piece of jade, carved with mysterious symbols and lines, which looked very extraordinary.

"Doesn't this treasure have a name?" Zhang Chen stretched out his hand, holding the bead in his hand, and said thoughtfully.

The bead has now recognized its master and its divine power has been restrained. As for how much power it can exert in the future, it depends on the degree of intimacy between Zhang Chen and the bead.

Ordinary people do not have magical powers, but after the mystery recognizes them as their master, their fusion with the mystery will increase, and their power will continue to increase from the first level until it reaches the pinnacle of the mystery level.

For example, the seventh level of the fox spirit's mystery. If the fox spirit simply relies on developing the mystery, the upper limit in the future will be the upper limit of the mystery, which is the seventh level.

If Zhang Chen's twelfth-level mystery recognizes its master and merges with him, the upper limit of its future owner will be the twelfth level.

Zhang Chen relies on his magic power to perform rituals, and the level of his abilities he can unleash depends on his speed of rituals.
