I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 319: Resurrection of the Imperial Daughter
It is not difficult to hide the body of the emperor's daughter, but the key lies in the mysterious power that is always emanating from her body. If the mysterious aura emanating from her body cannot be restrained, she will be found sooner or later.

So Zhang Chen patted the princess' body and said, "My niece, your vitality is too dazzling. Even if I rescue you and hide you, those people will find you by following their trail. So what do you think we should do now?"

"Why don't you just absorb all the mysterious power in her body?" The Great Freedom Demon suggested: "If you absorb the mysterious power in her body to the same concentration as the mysterious power in the outside world, won't all problems be solved?"

"What about the vitality of the Emperor's daughter? If the mysterious loss in her body is too serious, won't her life span be shortened?" Zhang Chen turned his head and glanced at the Great Freedom Demon. This guy always gives bad ideas.

"You can use the six-syllable mantra to temporarily suppress his vitality, and then use your magic power to nourish his body after a period of time, so that the vitality in his body will not be exhausted. Wouldn't that be enough?" said the Great Freedom Demon.

"That's true." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Then Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at the Emperor's daughter: "Niece, you heard it, but you can't blame me. If I don't absorb the mysterious power in you, you will never recover. When everyone gathers around me, I won't be able to defeat them with my own two fists."

Just as Zhang Chen was muttering to himself and was about to summon the innate mosquito mouthparts to devour the imperial daughter, the imperial daughter suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Chen, which scared Zhang Chen so much that he threw the imperial daughter's body out.

"west!"

The princess looked at Zhang Chen with her eyes, but her pupils were unfocused and stared blankly towards the west.

"To the west?" Zhang Chen looked at the princess, and after a brief pause, he controlled the flow of water and headed west without saying a word.

Then a water dragon was seen rolling up, and it was really killing gods and Buddhas. All the walls blocking Zhang Chen were destroyed by the huge water dragon.

In the distance, on a pavilion of the Pingbian Palace, a scholar in blue looked at the raging water dragon in the dark night, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"How could someone be able to use such means in the Pingbian Palace! Isn't he suppressed by the dragon energy?"

The blue-robed scholar's eyes were filled with shock. "It shouldn't be like this? Could it be that he was conferred an imperial title by the imperial court? He is enjoying the imperial court's good fortune, so he can resist the backlash of the dragon energy from the Pingbian Palace?"

There is a saying about fate in this world, and only fate can fight against fate.

Just like in the Romance of the Gods, Yang Jian went to assassinate King Zhou, but King Zhou was protected by the good fortune of humanity, so he was able to force Yang Jian to retreat helplessly.

But when the two sides were fighting, why were the two armies able to display their magical powers? It was because of the blessing of national destiny!
Both sides are blessed by their own national destiny. Even under the national destiny, any casualties caused will not be counted on individuals due to karma, but will only be attributed to the national destiny.

As long as the national fortune exists, it will withstand all cause and effect karma. But once the national fortune is destroyed, all cause and effect karma, if there is any remaining after the national fortune is destroyed and offset, will be settled on the officials and monks under the national fortune.

This is why, once a cultivator gets involved in the battle for dragon energy, he will never have the chance to withdraw, because once the national fortune of his camp is destroyed, the huge karma will inevitably find someone to inherit and settle accounts with everyone.

Of course, the most important thing is that if a person’s merits are enormous, they can withstand the karmic settlement after the country’s fortunes are broken.

So merit is a good thing, but unfortunately it is very difficult to obtain.

The water dragon transformed by Zhang Chen rushed all the way, showing no mercy to the soldiers who blocked its way and directly sucked the soldiers into the water dragon. All kinds of swords, guns, sticks and clubs in the water dragon were spinning at a high speed, no different from a stuffing grinder, directly turning all the soldiers into meat paste. Soon a blood-red river of heaven rushed across the street, scaring the soldiers to retreat one after another. They dared not to stop him and let Zhang Chen carry the body of the princess and run out of the city.

At this moment, Zhang Chen had an ice mask on his face and did not dare to expose his appearance. If someone remembered his appearance in the future and was hunted down by various organizations and the old monster kept it in mind, it would be troublesome.

It can be said that Zhang Chen was also lucky. At that time, all the masters in the north were attracted to the Battle of the Gods. They all ran to take advantage of the situation and pick up the flesh and blood of the gods, which gave Zhang Chen an opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhang Chen walked out of the city, but no one dared to pursue him. Only the strong men who had cultivated their qi and blood followed him from a distance.

Zhang Chen looked at the blood-red water dragon guarding him and felt that this was not a solution. This blood-red dragon was too eye-catching, and those guys could track him effortlessly.

After thinking it over again and again, Zhang Chen dispersed the water flow under his control and ran among the mountains with the princess on his back.

Zhang Chen was so confident that even a martial artist who had trained his qi and blood would not be able to catch up with his speed.

Are you kidding? Do you really think that your fifth-level blood-controlling physique is just a false reputation?
Looking at the pursuers behind him, Zhang Chen secretly sighed:

"It's a pity that time is too tight for me, otherwise I could turn around and kill a lot of people, and also increase my experience in blood control."

He runs away and he chases!
Zhang Chen ran away so fast, he seemed tireless. After chasing him for dozens of miles, the warrior who had cultivated qi and blood fell down due to exhaustion. He could no longer catch up with Zhang Chen and was left far behind.

There were no cultivators who had cultivated the way of the spirit and soul chasing after him along the way, otherwise Zhang Chen would have really been in more trouble.

But it would only add a few more troubles, as his righteous god Jin Guangtian could overcome all troubles caused by ghosts.

Zhang Chen ran a hundred miles westward at a very fast speed, then stopped to take a breath, turned his head and looked at the imperial daughter on his shoulders: "My niece, where are we going?"

But the only response he got was the princess's mechanical two words: "To the west."

Zhang Chen had no choice but to continue running with the princess on his back. His ultrasonic waves continued to spread, sensing the humanoid creatures within a hundred miles. He constantly avoided the humanoid creatures and ran quickly among the mountains.

After running another hundred miles, Zhang Chen stopped. Before he could ask any questions, the corpse of the imperial daughter spoke again: "Keep going!"

With no choice, Zhang Chen could only keep running, carrying the corpse through the mountains.

As he was running, Zhang Chen realized something was wrong: "The direction I was running in seemed to be the direction of Huangli Temple."

"I roughly know what she is planning." The Great Freedom Demon came out at the right time, looking towards the distant sky with a pair of eyes, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

"What's your plan?" Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

"She wants to ascend!" The Great Freedom Demon replied. "Ascend? What does that mean?" Zhang Chen asked in confusion.

“Before, the water god blew himself up, and its might shook the space, causing the space laws of that place to loosen and become disordered. Although the water god blew himself up, his divine power remained between heaven and earth and has not completely dissipated. The place where the princess directed you to is the place of the explosion. She wants to absorb the divine power that remains between heaven and earth, and with the help of the turbulent and unstable space, plus the princess’ own power, she will sublimate to the extreme, tear apart the space-time channel, and enter the spiritual world. Only in the spiritual world does she have a chance of survival.” said the Great Freedom Demon.

"Can the human body enter the spiritual world?" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Of course you can! But the process is extremely difficult. To enter it requires not only a huge price, but also extraordinary strength. For example, the temple you saw before, wasn't it also ascended from the real world?" The Great Freedom Demon said here, looking at Zhang Chen with burning eyes: "For you, this is also an opportunity. Don't you want to enter the spiritual world to obtain the cornerstone of Mount Buzhou? If you can enter the spiritual world, you may be able to obtain the cornerstone of Mount Buzhou. And with the help of the Emperor's daughter, you can walk sideways in the first level of space, right? That big black dog is definitely not your opponent. We can just pull out the tendons and skin of the big black dog, and boil its oil to light a sky lantern."

Zhang Chen did not show any joy when he heard this. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Is it dangerous for the physical body to enter the spiritual world?"

"It's extremely dangerous. Throughout history, there are only a handful of people who can enter the spiritual world with their physical bodies!" said the Great Freedom Demon.

"What if we fail?" Zhang Chen asked, "Is there still a chance to make amends?"

“If you fail, you will be crushed to dust under the impact of the laws of the two worlds, and then dissipate between heaven and earth.” The Great Freedom Demon said this with a look of regret in his eyes: “Back then, I wanted to descend from the spiritual world to the material world, but I suffered a calamity and died.”

"Death? Aren't you living well?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon in surprise.

"Do you think I'm still alive? I'm just a memory." There was a hint of loss in the voice of Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this. How could something as strange as the Great Freedom Demon be just a memory?
"Then can you be resurrected?" Zhang Chen asked subconsciously.

After asking, Zhang Chen felt that his question was a bit redundant. This old guy might be on the road to resurrection.

"When I reach this level, it is impossible for heaven to destroy me and earth to bury me. How difficult is it to kill me? Even if it is just a memory, I can climb out of the long river of time and stand proudly above the sky again." The Great Freedom Demon said some pretentious words.

Zhang Chen believed that the Great Freedom Demon could do it, but looking at his arrogant look, he couldn't help but attack him: "Isn't he dead yet? Isn't he still my prisoner?"

The Great Freedom Demon was instantly extinguished, and his figure disappeared directly between heaven and earth.

Zhang Chen ignored the Great Freedom Demon and turned to look at the Imperial Daughter:

"Niece, you still have the Longevity Tree Coffin. There's no need for you to take risks. Wait until I grow up for another year or two, and then I'll get the tree coffin back for you."

As if sensing Zhang Chen's kindness and genuine concern, the princess was silent for a moment before she spoke incoherently, "The feng shui... is broken, I... can't... live! Immortality... is lost... and cannot be blocked..."

Zhang Chen listened to the intermittent words of the princess and knew the truth of the matter after a little speculation. The princess probably said that the Feng Shui formation was broken, and even with the Longevity Tree Coffin, it could not stop the arrival of death. Even with the power of the Longevity Tree Coffin, without the suppression of the laws of the small world created by the Feng Shui formation, the power of longevity was also constantly dissipating, and one day it would lose its effectiveness and turn into an ordinary tree knot.

Zhang Chen took a breath, realizing that he had accidentally caused a disaster and harmed his eldest niece, but there was no way to remedy it.

He thought of the resurrected goddess again. She had hidden in the Taoist temple with the help of his Dinghai Divine Pearl. Perhaps she was trying to buy time to survive?

"I have cultivated magical powers. Can my magical powers delay the loss of energy and spirit in your body?" Zhang Chen seemed to remember something and asked his eldest niece quickly.

The princess' eyes wavered slightly when she heard this. Zhang Chen suddenly realized something and immediately poured his magic power into the golden light, hoping that it would be absorbed by the princess. However, the princess' voice soon rang in Zhang Chen's ears again: "Too weak! A drop in the bucket!"

Zhang Chen was speechless upon hearing this. He silently withdrew his magic power and simply sped up his escape among the mountains.

"The end of these old guys is too miserable." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, looking into the distance with his eyes. He made up his mind that he would send the princess to the place no matter what.

Zhang Chen ran with the princess on his back, using ultrasonic detection all the way to avoid the martial artists in the mountains, and quickly fled among the woods. However, as luck would have it, when Zhang Chen was fleeing, he eventually ran into an acquaintance: Zhang Gasi.

Zhang Gasi hid in the cave and actually avoided Zhang Chen's ultrasonic detection. Zhang Gasi was attracted by the mysterious fluctuations emanating from the imperial daughter. After walking out of the cave, he saw Zhang Chen carrying the imperial daughter's body from a distance.

Zhang Gaqi saw Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen of course saw Zhang Gaqi as well.

"It's you!" Zhang Gasi was stunned when he saw Zhang Chen, then his eyes swept and fell on the body of the imperial daughter on Zhang Chen's shoulder that was emitting mysterious fluctuations.

"It's me!" Zhang Chen slowed down his pace and became alert, but he did not stop.

"What is that? A corpse that exudes an ancient and mysterious aura?" Zhang Gaqi's eyes were full of burning heat: "I can feel the fluctuations of his soul."

That was the body of an ancient god. The most important thing was that there was still the fluctuation of a living soul in the body of the ancient god.

If I could obtain his soul, my strength would skyrocket and I would be able to compete with all the old guys.

"This is mine!" Zhang Chen said.

Zhang Gaqi looked away from the corpse and looked at Zhang Chen with burning eyes: "I can make a deal with you."

"For this ancient corpse?" Zhang Chen asked.

"That's right. As long as you give me this ancient corpse, I will try my best and leave no stone unturned to help you return to the Zhang family." Zhang Gasi's voice was filled with an uncontrollable heat.

His words were full of confidence, and no one could resist the temptation to return to the family.
