I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 476 Imperial Decree: Take Root and Sprout!
The Great Free Demon thought that Zhang Chen was bragging. That was the authority of heaven and earth. Even if he was at the fruit realm, it was just borrowed. How could he have the ability to master it?
But considering that Zhang Chen already has the power of the earth element, it doesn't seem unacceptable if he also has the power of the wood element, right?

It’s just that Zhang Chen’s abilities came inexplicably, as if he had no idea where he got them from. The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon was very sure that he had been following Zhang Chen all the time, and the other party had never practiced any wood-attributed magical powers. If Zhang Chen had mastered the wood-attributed magical powers before, would he still need to be afraid of the branches of Jianmu?

But when thinking of Zhang Chen's magical powers, which one didn't come out of nowhere? The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen tentatively: "How did you master the authority of the Wood Element? Do you really master the authority of the Wood Element?"

Zhang Chen ignored the temptation of the Great Freedom Demon. He would not let the Great Freedom Demon probe into his background. If he allowed him to probe into his background, the old guy would lose his sense of awe, and then who knows what trouble he would cause.

Zhang Chen carefully sensed the branch of the Jianmu tree in his hand, and the next moment he mobilized his wood attribute power: "Command, this branch will take root!"

As Zhang Chen finished speaking, a strange wave flashed in the void and poured into the branches of the Tongtian Jianmu in his hand. Under the strange wave, the branches of the Tongtian Jianmu actually grew roots, and the branches turned into seedlings and came back to life.

"The power of the Great Dao! This is the power of the Great Dao! He actually really grasped the authority of the Great Dao of Wood! Oh my God, how did this kid do it? Is he the reincarnation of the Great Dao?" The Great Freedom Demon felt the power passing through the void, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his pupils were full of horror.

However, Zhang Chen ignored the changes in Da Zizai Tianmo's mentality, but carefully sensed the changes in the branches of the towering Jianmu tree in his hand. He could feel that at the moment when the Jianmu branch grew roots, the whole Jianmu branch came alive, as if it had the ability to breathe, and began to inhale and exhale unknown energy from the dark, and then a trace of inexplicable vitality was exhaled from the leaves. The quality of that vitality was extremely high, and there was a trace of the rhythm of innate artistic conception and innate laws flowing through it.

"That is the innate vital energy. This vital energy is extremely precious, and it is the key to cultivating immortals and practicing qi. But now we are in the acquired era, and the heaven and earth cannot accommodate the innate vital energy. Even if innate vital energy is born, it will be quickly absorbed by the heaven and earth, or decomposed by the acquired qi between heaven and earth." The Great Freedom Demon looked at the innate vital energy spit out from the branches of Jianmu, and hurriedly went up to open his mouth to absorb it.

"Innate vitality?" Zhang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the strands of miraculous energy emitted from the branches of Jianmu.

"If you transplant this seedling into the Ascension Pond, it can help your Ascension Pond condense more energy, and the innate vitality can also repair your Ascension Pond. Who knows, after countless years, your Ascension Pond can be repaired again. With the branches of the Jianmu tree swallowing and spitting out the innate vitality, the Ascension Pond can absorb the innate vitality and convert it into energy for the Ascension Pond. The liquid condensed in your Ascension Pond can increase by more than ten times every day."

Zhang Chen's eyes brightened when he heard this. The liquid in the Ascension Pool was a good thing. Not only could it temper his body and turn him into the legendary immortal body, it could also be converted into points for his own use. The more of this stuff, the better.

Zhang Chen looked at the Tongtian Jianmu seedling in his hand, and saw a trace of spiritual light flowing through the whole seedling that had never existed before, and the whole seedling exuded vitality. Before, the Jianmu seedling survived by devouring the lifespan of living beings, and now the seedling has completely revived and become a brand new individual, able to draw energy from unknown time and space and be self-sufficient, and has completely come alive.

Zhang Chen sensed the inside of the seedling and saw countless chains of order flowing inside the Tongtian Jianmu seedling. The chains of order intertwined together to form a huge 'satin' of law, which turned into a complete individual and formed a complete and complex innate law.

However, Zhang Chen's cultivation was limited, and he could not understand the rules governing the operation of the laws within Jianmu, so no matter how powerful the wood laws were, they had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Chen stroked the Jianmu seedling, and the whole Jianmu seedling exuded a sense of intimacy. Zhang Chen felt that he had a mysterious connection with this Jianmu seedling, as if he could communicate with the Jianmu seedling in front of him.

Zhang Chen spit out the ascension pool from the Bashen space, and then put the Jianmu seedling into the ascension pool. As the Jianmu seedling fell into the ascension pool, the ascension pool vibrated slightly, and an inexplicable reaction came out.

After the Jianmu seedling exhaled the innate energy, mysterious runes lit up on the Ascension Pool, absorbing the dissipated energy and turning it into the energy of the Ascension Pool. Then, the divine ban in the Ascension Pool began to operate, and a drop of colored liquid was born.

"What a powerful function! The Tongtian Jianmu combined with the Ascension Pool is simply a match made in heaven!" Zhang Chen looked at the scene in front of him with a burning look in his eyes.

At this rate of transformation, it is not impossible for me to completely transform into an immortal in the future.

"This is the king of all trees, Tongtian Jianmu! It can absorb and exhale energy from all the heavens and worlds. Do you think this is just an ordinary plant?" The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen with disdain: "It is only a seedling at the moment. If it grows up, one absorption can fill up the energy in the Ascension Pool, and one absorption can supply the energy circulation of the entire world."

Zhang Chen was secretly amazed, then he swallowed the Ascension Pool back into his mouth, with a hint of joy in his eyes: "This time the harvest is huge!"

Not only is it Tongtian Jianmu, but also because he has mastered the authority of the wood element, he can command the plants and trees in the world. It is not impossible to look forward to the future. If he can take the opportunity to peek into the avenue of life and thus achieve immortality, that would be even better. If he obtains any spiritual roots in the future, and uses the authority of the wood element to revive them all, wouldn't it be a big profit then?

For example, the Emperor's daughter's tree of life coffin. If I could revive it and make it take root and sprout again, and absorb its life force day and night, wouldn't I be able to live forever?

Zhang Chen suddenly realized that his Wood Element power might not be enough in combat, but it could still be very useful if used as an auxiliary.

Moreover, he can mobilize the power of wood between heaven and earth, and can even feel and influence the innate wood attribute in the five-colored divine light, and his control over the five-colored divine light is also stronger.

As the Ascension Pool was put into the Basher Space, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon reluctantly withdrew his gaze: "Boy, how did you obtain the authority of the Wood Element?"

He was really curious. This kind of authority should be the authority of the Great Dao, right? Is it also something that human power can control?

"If you want to get it, you get it. What's so strange about it?" Zhang Chen said, "This Wood Element's power is just so-so. It's useless! I can't see any effect at all."

"That's because you don't have the ability to comprehend its wonderful use. How can you blame the power of the wood element for being useless?" The Great Freedom Demon angrily scolded Zhang Chen. He felt that this grandson was being Versailles:

"For example, the art of death-substitution can use plants and trees in the world to die in your place. Another example is the art of longevity. You can absorb plants and trees in the world to extend your life indefinitely. Another example is that you can use this magical power to transform into a congenital spiritual root that is billions of years old and possess all the properties of congenital spiritual roots. How powerful will it be then? The life and death of plants and trees in the world is up to you. How overbearing is this? You are a useless kid, and you blame your magical power. Why doesn't the sky send down a thunderbolt to strike you to death?"

The Great Freedom Demon kept cursing, and his voice was full of disappointment.

Zhang Chen was stunned after hearing what the Great Freedom Demon said. He never expected that the authority of the Wood Element could be so useful. However, with his current level of cultivation, it was simply impossible for him to comprehend the authority of the Wood Element by himself.

"Do I have to upgrade the Wood Element's authority before I can unlock more abilities?" Zhang Chen thought to himself.

Although he obtained the authority of the Wood Element, according to his understanding, his current authority of the Wood Element is only at level LV0. If he wants to obtain more abilities, he needs to upgrade himself.

"If I can find a way to prolong my life from it, I might have a chance to achieve immortality." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Zhang Chen had all sorts of thoughts flashing through his mind. The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon approached him and said, "Boy, I know a good thing that can only be done by you..."

"Don't say anything. Wait until I master the alchemy furnace in front of me." Zhang Chen interrupted the Great Freedom Demon. This guy is a big trap. If you are not careful, you will be led astray and fall into it.

"It's about the curse on you! Although the curse that turned you into a toad was suppressed by the Six-Character Mantra, it was not eliminated after all, right? If you listen to me and go to that secret realm, you will definitely be able to dissolve the curse on you." The Great Freedom Demon muttered.

Zhang Chen simply snapped his fingers and dispersed the Great Freedom Demon. He had no time to waste now. Although the curse technique was troublesome, the limit of his life was already in sight. If he delayed any further because of other things, he might die of exhausted lifespan. Then his death would be too unfair.

"The most important thing for me now is not to transform my body into an immortal body, but to convert the energy of the Ascension Pool into points. I should first gain the authority of the Wood Element. If by any chance I can obtain the authority to seize the essence of plants and trees to prolong my life, then I won't have to look for the Longevity Tree Coffin. The Longevity Tree Coffin is guarded by the number one master in the palace, especially the Spear of Heavenly Punishment, which is even more powerful. It is not easy for me to snatch food from his mouth under his nose, and I may even lose my own life." Zhang Chen felt a little anxious. He always had to prepare an extra way for himself. If he failed to seize the Longevity Tree Coffin, he would still have a second way to go, and he wouldn't have to be trapped to death on one way.

"Let's accumulate energy to exercise authority first." Zhang Chen sighed softly and made up his mind.
