I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Immortality is a hurdle that everyone must face! Especially for old fellows whose lives are nearing their end, it is an irresistible temptation.

Young people are not afraid of death, but what about older people? The older they get, the more they fear death! Especially when their lifespan is about to expire, the more they fear death.

"Mr. Wu, what should we do?" A man in his thirties asked.

"The strength of an army lies in its quality, not its quantity. I will personally lead the team. If we can obtain even a small item from that Flood Dragon, it will benefit us immensely. You secretly contact the eight hundred followers to provide support outside, lest we be ambushed by the imperial court after obtaining the treasure." Speaking of this, Mr. Wu stroked his chin: "It is said that Xie Xuan, on the orders of the Great Victory Emperor, is stationed in the Northern Territory to monitor the Pingbian Prince's Mansion. Now, a dragon species in the Northern Territory wants to transform into a Flood Dragon. With Xie Xuan's lackey-like nature, he probably won't let it go. This time, I can weigh Xie Xuan's true strength."

After saying this, the old man hurriedly said, "Prepare the horses! Come with me!"

A day later, an army of ten thousand marched mightily towards the Yellow River, taking over the river's defenses. It was the arrival of the Inspection Division.

However, the Pingbian Prince's Mansion was not to be outdone. The heir of the Pingbian Prince personally led an army of eight thousand, also arriving at the Yellow River.

Among the laborers, some unfamiliar faces had infiltrated at some point. These unfamiliar faces looked strong and powerful, unlike ordinary farmers.

Xie Xuan was the commander of the Inspection Division, holding a high position of power in the Northern Territory. Naturally, no one dared to stop the Inspection Division from taking control.

Xie Xuan, wearing coarse linen clothes and stepping on the dry riverbed, slowly walked to the sinkhole. Looking at the bottomless pit, a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes: "Has anyone gone in to investigate?"

The general guarding this place, Ping Tao, was no longer as arrogant as before, but lowered his head with a humble expression: "Reporting to the Lord, this subordinate has already sent people down to investigate, but the rope broke, and the whereabouts of the people below are unknown."

Xie Xuan remained noncommittal upon hearing this, and said to his deputy beside him, "Prepare torches."

Soon, soldiers brought torches. Xie Xuan held a torch in his hand, his eyes overlooking the pit below. He casually threw the torch down, and the torch plunged into the darkness, disappearing in an instant like a shooting star.

"Prepare ropes!"

Xie Xuan stared at the darkness for a while, then suddenly gave the order.

On the shore, colorful flags fluttered. Zhang Xiaohua, the heir of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion, watched Xie Xuan examining the cave, his heart filled with anxiety: "Chief Steward, what should we do? How can we stop them? That is my Zhang family's ancestral grave! My ancestors are transforming into dragons. Once disturbed by this group of people, our grand plan will be ruined! Quickly send someone to stop him, we must not let him go in."

The Chief Steward had a worried expression on his face: "That is the commander of the Inspection Division. Even if the Prince were here, he would not be able to stop him. Moreover, the Old Prince's tomb is not in the ancestral grave, yet it suddenly appeared here. This matter cannot be exposed! We cannot use this excuse to stop the Inspection Division, otherwise the Inspection Division will discover the truth."

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch them go in?" Zhang Xiaohua was anxious, so anxious that he stood up from the sickbed: "Send someone to escort me, I want to go in!"

The Chief Steward nodded solemnly upon hearing this: "Alright, we will follow them in. Maybe we can buy some time for the Old Prince at a critical moment."

Inside the underground lake

Time returned to a day before. Zhang Chen stared silently at the gold-plated boulder. The fox spirit's voice was full of disbelief: "Dragon Palace? There is actually a Dragon Palace here?"

"How much do you know about the Dragon Palace?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit.

"Only True Dragons are qualified to build a Dragon Palace. I was wondering why Pingbian Prince Zhang Shicheng chose to transform into a dragon under the Yellow River. It turns out that a Dragon Palace was built here. It is said that the Dragon Palace contains countless treasures collected by the True Dragon throughout his life. If we can find one or two, we will make a fortune." The fox spirit's eyes were shining.

"Since Zhang Shicheng has already discovered the Dragon Palace, he probably has already emptied it. The True Dragon's collection in the past has probably become the foundation of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion. Zhang Shicheng, this old fellow, is not simple! The Pingbian Prince's Mansion has obtained the True Dragon's inheritance, and its foundation is incredibly terrifying. We must not be careless when dealing with the Pingbian Prince's Mansion in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chen looked into the endless darkness: "But I don't know where this Crystal Palace is hidden?"

"Since there is a sign for the Crystal Palace here, there may be some clues left, or we can directly dive underwater along this stone and perhaps find the address of the Crystal Palace," said the fox spirit Nannan.

Zhang Chen ignored the fox spirit Nannan's words, but opened his Dharma Eye, observing the aura in the cave.

Since the naked eye cannot see any clues, perhaps the Dharma Eye can distinguish a few opportunities. It should be known that there will definitely be traces left where the strange things have passed. Since the Crystal Coffin ran out of the tomb, there must be an aura left behind.

In fact, Zhang Chen guessed correctly. As he opened his Dharma Eye and looked at the golden world in front of him, he really found a trace of clues.

"Follow me!" Zhang Chen urged the flat boat to walk deeper into the lake.

Although it was dark underground, it couldn't withstand the fact that the entire underground was stained with dragon energy. In Zhang Chen's Dharma Eye, it was no different from daylight.

"Have you found a clue to enter the Dragon Palace?" The fox spirit followed Zhang Chen with a look of surprise. At this time, he felt more and more the magic of Zhang Chen. She couldn't find any clues, but Zhang Chen found the clues directly?

Zhang Chen walked for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly stopped, because he found a big surprise on the water in front of him: Skill!

A sphere the size of a basketball, shimmering with a light blue luster, like standing in the starry sky and looking at the earth, was particularly eye-catching in this golden world.

Zhang Chen drove the ice boat, carefully came to the skill group, and stopped the ice boat. At this time, the fox spirit scurried back and forth on the water with a look of surprise: "Why don't you leave? Did you find the entrance to the Dragon Palace? But why didn't I notice the location of the Dragon Palace?"

The fox spirit was walking three meters in front of Zhang Chen, and suddenly his feet softened, and he let out an exclamation of wailing: "Help me!"

Then the fox spirit sank directly from the water, as if the water surface had lost its buoyancy and could not bear the fox spirit's soul.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but change his color when he saw this, and then a rune flickered in his palm. The next moment, the rune evolved into a fox spirit, falling beside Zhang Chen, looking at the calm water in front of him with lingering fear.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit, a trace of caution revealed in his eyes.

Just now in his Dharma Eye, there was no abnormality at all?

“Weak Water! Ahead is the legendary Weak Water!” The fox spirit's eyes were full of horror: “As expected of the legendary True Dragon, its supernatural powers are earth-shattering, and it has even evolved the laws of Weak Water.”

“Weak Water?” Zhang Chen looked at the fox spirit.

“In Weak Water, there is no supporting force at all. Even a goose feather will sink directly into it. Even a soul passing over this water will be drowned to the bottom of the river. If you hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid I would have been trapped there forever.”

The fox spirit's eyes looked at the water flowing without any ripples, and a hint of horror appeared in her eyes.

Zhang Chen's expression changed upon hearing this. Even the power of the soul cannot be supported, so how can we pass through?

Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the water-blue light sphere not far away, and thinking about what the fox spirit had just said, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: “Could it be that this skill is related to Weak Water? If this skill is related to Weak Water, then I've made a fortune.”

The fox spirit was anxious at this time: “What should we do? Now there is a drowning river blocking the way, how can we get through?”

Zhang Chen ignored the fox spirit's words and looked at the azure light sphere. The next moment, the golden finger panel popped up.

【Skill detected, do you want to pick it up?】

“Pick it up!”

Zhang Chen said without hesitation.

As Zhang Chen's words fell, the blue light sphere flickered for a while, and then Zhang Chen's Water Control Technique actually changed again:

【4 Skill (Second Order): Water Control Technique + Weak Water (0/100000)】

【Note 1: The host can temporarily transform the water he controls into Weak Water. After losing control, it will be transformed back into ordinary water.】

“Interesting!” Zhang Chen looked at the skill's introduction, and his eyes lit up:

“The water I control can be transformed into Weak Water. I wonder if it can drown a Yang God.”

Then Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at the fox spirit: “Do you think Weak Water can drown a Yang God?”

“What are you thinking? Weak Water cannot bear the weight of the soul, but the weight of the soul is essentially caused by the Yin Qi residue in the soul. The strong at the Yang God realm have already refined all the Yin Qi residue in their souls. Their souls are pure Yang and can already transform into light. How can Weak Water drown a weightless ray of light?”

The fox spirit explained.

“Of course, if the physical body of a strong Yang God realm expert falls into Weak Water, it will be troublesome to retrieve it.” The fox spirit said.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up at this time, and his eyes were like stars in the sky, and his voice trembled slightly: “I mean, if I master Weak Water and sink the physical body of a Ninth Order existence who is not a Yang God into Weak Water, what do you think will happen?”

“What will happen? He will thank your ancestors for eight generations!” The fox spirit said unhappily.

Hearing the fox spirit's words, Zhang Chen suddenly became interested. He seemed to realize his future methods for dealing with those experts. Although he can't deal with Yang Gods, he can deal with those monsters, right?

“Do you think a Ninth Order monster can withstand the power of Weak Water?” Zhang Chen asked.

“It should be able to, otherwise how did that dragon species get through Weak Water?” The fox spirit said.

Zhang Chen was speechless upon hearing this, and his excited mood was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, and he calmed down directly. Then he urged the undercurrent surging river water under his feet, and the ice boat moved forward.

“Hey…! What are you doing! Stop quickly! Ahead is the Weak Water River, do you want to die?” When the fox spirit saw that Zhang Chen was actually rowing the boat towards Weak Water, she quickly stopped him with an excited voice.

Just as the ice boat entered the Weak Water without sinking, the fox spirit suddenly widened her eyes, her voice full of disbelief: “How is this possible! How is this possible!”

“You can actually master the power of Weak Water? This shouldn't be!” The fox spirit's voice was full of disbelief: “Could it be that you have obtained the True Dragon fate and can be immune to the power of Weak Water? But even so, it shouldn't be!”

Zhang Chen did not answer the fox spirit's words, but urged the ice boat to try to communicate with the Weak Water under the boat. As expected, as he expected, he could indeed control the flow of all the Weak Water within fifty meters under his feet.

In his perception, Weak Water is like calm stagnant water, quietly without any flow, quietly lying there, waiting for someone to fall into it and drown.

The Drowning River is not wide, only about thirty meters. After Zhang Chen crossed the Weak Water, a palace suddenly appeared in front of him. Half of the palace was submerged in the water, and half of it floated on the surface.

The palace was entirely made of crystal, emitting a faint fluorescent light, and looked beautiful, like a perfect work of art.

“The True Dragon has the ability to transform everything into crystal!” The fox spirit looked at the crystal palace that appeared in the distance, and suddenly realized: “I was wondering where Pingbian King found the crystal coffin. It turned out that it was obtained from the Dragon Palace. This guy has such great good fortune.”

Zhang Chen understood upon hearing this, and felt that Pingbian King's good fortune was indeed great, otherwise how could he have noticed the tomb of the Archaic True Dragon?

“The dragon energy gathers here, and the water and cloud energy gathers here. Pingbian King must be hibernating here to transform into a dragon.” Fox Fairy Nannan said.

Zhang Chen also felt a little nervous upon hearing this, after all, he was facing a Ninth Order old fellow, and a little carelessness would be fatal.

His only way to deal with the Ninth Order Yang God was to mark his soul, and then hook out the other party's soul at a critical moment, so that the other party would fail to transform into a dragon, and he would have a chance to devour the other party's body.

But all of this has a premise, that is, before the other party transforms into a dragon and walks out of the coffin, he does not find his trace.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen has mastered the Blood Control Technique, which can stop the heartbeat, and pretending to be a dead person is no problem.

“Have you really thought about it? Once your trace is discovered by the other party, our lurking will be a failure. At that time, not only will you die, but I, the old ancestor, will die with you!” The fox spirit's bright eyes looked at Zhang Chen.

“Where is there any reason to regret when things come to a head.” Zhang Chen smiled, paddling the boat to approach the Crystal Palace, while the blood flow rate of his whole body began to slowly decrease, and even the sound of his heartbeat gradually began to stop.

“Splash ~”

Just as Zhang Chen was paddling the ice boat to approach the Crystal Palace, a strange noise suddenly came from the top of the cave in front, and then a black shadow fell from the top of the cave, splashing water tens of meters high.

“Be careful!” The fox spirit shouted.

“That is!!!!!”

Zhang Chen looked at the thing that fell into the river in front of him, and his scalp could not help but numb. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were full of horror.
