I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 215 The Living Goddess
Zhong Xiang said that he could not take the blame, and he was totally unable to bear it. It was absolutely impossible for him to bear it. Even if he had the support of the Zhong family, he would be crushed by this huge cause and effect.

What Zhong Xiang said was well-reasoned and well-founded, leaving the Confucians speechless and unable to refute it.

This is the truth, but if you really do it, it will be wrong! After hearing this, the Confucian people were furious and unwilling, but they could do nothing about it.

At this time, everyone in the Confucian sect was filled with anger, but they couldn't vent it. They all looked at the black pool and the three people standing on the platform.

At this point, the only hope to break the curse is to find a restraining treasure in the tomb.

"I say, what treasure is on the jade platform?" someone asked Liu Yang.

The three people on the stone platform approached the tree after hearing this. Liu Lin explained to everyone, "I heard that in ancient times there was a divine object called the Longevity Tree. It can not only lock a person's vitality, but also ensure that a person's vitality is not extinguished, so that even after billions of years, the body will still be immortal. The most important thing is that the Longevity Tree can also prolong a person's lifespan, so in ancient times there were gods who looked for the Longevity Tree to make a tree coffin and then buried themselves in it. However, it is said that the Longevity Tree is a divine object of the 24th level of the spiritual world, which is extremely rare. I don't know how this ancient god obtained it."

As they were talking, as the three people on the platform approached the stone platform, they saw a green light shield burst out from the tree coffin, which directly blocked the three people outside. No matter how the three people used their tricks, they could not shake the tree coffin at all.

The three of them are just mortals, without even the means to leave their bodies. How could they be qualified to touch the sacred tree?

Seeing the treasure right in front of him, but unable to get close, Liu Yang knew that he had no chance of getting the treasure. At this point, he no longer dared to ask for the treasure, and only hoped to find a way to break the curse, so he said to the people on the shore:

"Everyone, although there is a curse in this pool, twenty-four of them is the limit. If you want to obtain treasures, you might as well cross the water and come here. Everyone has been cursed. Is there any difference between being cursed once and being cursed twenty-four? It is better to cross the water together and open this tree coffin of the ancient gods and demons. Perhaps there will be unexpected gains. Maybe there is a way to break the curse here."

This made everyone curl their lips. How could one curse be the same as twenty-four curses? This was a joke!
"Actually, I have a better idea. Since three people have already escaped, why don't we throw a rope to them and let them tie up the coffin. Then we work together to pull the coffin over. How about that?" Mr. Wuliu looked at the three people standing in front of the coffin and proposed a solution.

As for crossing the river?
No one is willing to cross that pool of water, not even if you kill you, and you can't touch it again!

This made sense. Everyone's eyes lit up and they hurried outside to look for the chain.

Soon someone dragged a chain in, and then everyone looked at Zhong Xiang. There was nothing they could do about it because Zhong Xiang had the highest fighting power here.
But Zhong Xiang refused to touch the pool water at all costs. He was only cursed twice, and neither of them was serious. He didn't want to continue to stimulate the pool water, so he retreated far away without waiting for everyone to speak, so as not to be implicated.

At this time Liu Lin simply resorted to moral blackmail and told the three men to jump into the pool and drag the chain over. Anyway, the three men had already cursed them enough, and now they were like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

As Liu Lin spoke, everyone in the field followed suit. The three had no choice but to jump into the pool. As they jumped in, the water did not react at all. The three dragged the chain into the pool, and then came to the coffin, trying to entangle the protective shield emitted by the coffin.

After all, the tree coffin is a movable object, and the protective shield it emits is also an energy body like a physical object. It is directly entangled by the chain, and the other end is linked to the shore and held in the hands of the Confucian monks.

Following Liu Lin's order, everyone worked together to stretch the chain straight. The tree coffin shook for a moment, but the next moment the chain broke, and everyone fell to the ground.

"That tree coffin is extremely heavy. It seems that we can't use the chain to pull it." Zhang Xiaohua, who was watching the situation from the side, offered her own suggestion: "I actually have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."

"What's your idea? Please tell me, Prince." Liu Lin looked at Zhang Xiaohua.

"See, since the curse is the pool water, why don't we just dig a hole in the mountain and drain the pool water? Then the curse will be gone, right?" Zhang Xiaohua said.

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately felt that it made sense. Even Zhang Chen, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't help but brighten his eyes: "Zhang Xiaohua seems to have a pretty good brain. He can actually come up with such an idea? Why didn't I think of it before?"

Zhang Xiaohua's words immediately aroused unanimous approval from everyone. They all thought that what Zhang Xiaohua said made sense. However, this mountain was full of large bluestones, and it was not easy to dig them up. Even if there were warriors among the crowd, it would not be easy to dig out the bluestones, right?
So at this time everyone turned their eyes to Zhong Xiang. After all, the fact that Zhong Xiang mastered the Qilin Flame was obvious to everyone.

Zhong Xiang was helpless. He couldn't shirk this matter. After all, he also wanted to resolve his own curse. So he could only summon fire. In just thirty breaths, a huge pit was melted out.

Zhong Xiang even melted out the channel thoughtfully, connecting the two pools, but when the channel between the two pools was still a finger thick, Zhong Xiang decisively stopped and refused to continue melting:
"I have already melted out the pit, but I won't break the barrier connecting the pit and the pool. I hope you can think of a way to break the bluestone which is only one finger thick."

What solution do you have?

No one wanted to be contaminated by the curse, so everyone's eyes turned to Liu Yang and the other two. Although they were reluctant, under the pressure of justice, they had to take hammers and chisel open the barrier. Then they saw black pool water flowing out and flowing into the big pit dug by Zhong Xiang.

In the crack of the rock, Zhang Chen's eyes swept over the flowing black water in the field, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart: "According to the explanation of the rat demon, the seal that sealed the cursed demon god has been broken, and part of the seal has been contaminated by the cursed demon god. The pool of water should be part of the seal that sealed the cursed demon god. These guys acted without authorization, and I am afraid that they are constantly destroying the seal, and sooner or later the cursed demon god will be released."

Zhang Chen felt a little uneasy, and felt that the scene on the field was a little inappropriate.

The Emperor's daughter is the core of the entire Feng Shui formation. Once these guys really move the Emperor's daughter's tree coffin away, I'm afraid something big will happen.

“But I can’t care about so many things now. It’s better to release the Cursed Demon. Only by releasing the Cursed Demon will we have a chance to subdue him and find a way to break the curse. Otherwise, who can stand turning into a toad every day?” Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If the cursed demon is really released, someone will naturally be anxious. The Pingbian Palace and the Inspection Office in the north will be the first to bear the brunt, as well as the Dasheng court and the major families in the world. What does Zhang Chen have to do with it?
Zhang Chen watched coldly from the sidelines, hoping that at the critical moment, he could take advantage of the opportunity to take away a treasure, which would be the best thing. As the black water continued to flow out, the bottom of the pool gradually became visible. After an incense stick of time, the water flowed clean, and everyone gathered around to watch. They saw eight fist-sized holes at the bottom of the pool. The holes were empty, as if connected to a bottomless abyss, and black water kept coming out of the eight holes.

“Find a way to block those eight springs, and everything will be done!” Mr. Wuliu said as he looked at the eight springs emitting black water.

"How to block it?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.

"It's actually quite simple. Isn't there magma in this cave? If we just pour the magma into it, wouldn't that block the hole?" Mr. Wuliu had already figured out a solution.

Then everyone looked at Liu Yang and the other two. They looked helpless and could only use shovels to move the magma for irrigation.

At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the spring and the treasure. No one noticed that a stream of water flowed out silently from the crack in the wall and turned into the appearance of Zhang Chen in the corner. Then Zhang Chen deliberately stood in a dimly lit place, let most of his hair down to cover his face, and then smeared some mud on it. No one could recognize him.

Zhang Chen was mixed in the crowd at this time, secretly rolling up his sleeves and preparing to strike with a club. If there was any benefit, he would take action directly.

The highest level of cultivators here is just a powerful Yin God, which is not enough to frighten Zhang Chen to the point where he dares not take action at all.

When the cursed demon god is born, the Yin God strongmen will be the first to suffer, so how can they have time to take care of the treasures? That will be Zhang Chen's chance.

Zhang Chen was standing nearby at this moment, with a golden light flowing in his eyes. He looked at the black water flowing out. He saw black mysterious power flowing under the black water spring, and obscure mysterious aura flashing, constantly fighting against the black airflow. It looked like it was by no means a simple mystery.

At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered something in his mind: the emperor captured hundreds of gods to suppress the cursed demon. Could it be that the seal is not in the Feng Shui formation, but under the Feng Shui formation?

"Are there hundreds of mysteries under this spring?" Zhang Chen had a vague guess in his mind.

The most important thing is that Zhang Chen saw what he wanted to see again, a large amount of experience points, much more than in the True Dragon Tomb. They were densely spread on the bottom of the pool and sparkled with dazzling luster deep in the holes.

"I wonder if the Cursed Demon God can give me some skills." Zhang Chen had some expectations in his heart. The methods of this Cursed Demon God were extremely powerful. If he could give him the curse technique, it would be of great use.

Just as Zhang Chen's thoughts were flowing, as magma continued to pour into the spring water and as the magma cooled rapidly, the surging black spring water was actually blocked.

"Damn it, they are really a bunch of crooked people. They can even block the spring?" Zhang Chen was surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that it would be so easy to succeed.

At this time, everyone saw that the spring was blocked, and their hearts began to beat fast again, and they tentatively walked towards the platform.

At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the treasure on the high platform. Zhang Chen took the opportunity to come to Zhong Xiang's side and stretched out his hand to poke Zhong Xiang's waist. Zhong Xiang was standing outside the crowd watching the excitement. He noticed someone poking him, turned his head and saw Zhang Chen standing beside him with disheveled hair.

The two were so familiar with each other that even if Zhang Chen tried to cover up, Zhong Xiang would still recognize Zhang Chen directly.

"How dare you come out here so brazenly?" Zhong Xiang lowered his voice and said in surprise.

"I just want to tell you to stay away from here later, so as not to be implicated by any unexpected events." Zhang Chen said in a low voice.

After all, Zhong Xiang is now barely an ally of his and is in the same camp with him. If they want to destroy the body of the demon god later, Zhong Xiang's help is indispensable, so Zhang Chen reminded him to prevent Zhong Xiang from dying without knowing why.

"I know. Of course I will protect myself." Zhong Xiang replied, then grabbed Zhang Chen's wrist and said angrily, "I told you to go out and seduce all kinds of strong men. How did you destroy my grandfather's Tao heart?"

"Who knew he was your little grandfather? His heart was so fragile! I just asked him two questions and he just couldn't stand it." Zhang Chen's voice was full of innocence:
"But the effect is not ordinary. Didn't you see it? The Confucian masters are here."

Zhong Xiang gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "I'll settle the score with you after we get out."

At this time, everyone had safely crossed the pond and climbed up to the platform, but the platform was too small and could not accommodate everyone. Only a few respected people were crowded on the platform. Their eyes looked through the green light shield at the coffin inside, and their eyes were full of burning heat.

"It is indeed the legendary longevity willow tree. If you can get a leaf of it, you can extend your life by one year! If you can step into such a big longevity tree, I'm afraid it can make people directly rejuvenate and resurrect for tens of thousands of years." Mr. Wuliu stood in front of the light shield, looking at the tree coffin with a pair of eyes full of burning heat.

"There seems to be a goddess behind the leaves! Oh my God! Her body is surprisingly well preserved. I can't imagine how incredible this is. No, this ancient goddess is still alive. Her chest seems to move." At this moment, someone exclaimed, pointing at the goddess in the tree canopy.

"What? A living ancient goddess?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. If the ancient god was still alive, and everyone dug up his tomb, no one present would be able to escape! Everyone would be in big trouble!
This kind of thing is not a joke, it could kill people! Every one of you who digs up someone's ancestral grave will end up in a bad way.
