I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World

Zhang Chen’s pace was neither hurried nor slow, just managing to reach the peak as the one hundred and fiftieth person.

The mountain peak was filled with a stretch of magnificent palaces, splendid and towering, with divine light swirling within. At the very top of the peak, there stood a palace entirely made of jade, resembling the abode of a divine being, shrouded in five-colored divine light.

Zhang Chen withdrew his gaze and quietly walked to the plaza, where one hundred and fifty children had already gathered, each standing quietly in the center. Lady Biyun, dressed in blue, stood silently on the high platform at the front of the grand hall, overlooking all the children present.

After another two hours or so, the three hundred children gradually converged completely. Then Lady Biyun said, "Those among the first three hundred can have a medicinal bath daily and practice the Powerful Warrior Technique."

"Golden Armor!" Lady Biyun called.

The Golden Armor Divine Being stepped forward and saluted, "At your command."

"Take them to their accommodations," Lady Biyun instructed.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Armor Divine Being looked at the group of children and said, "Come with me."

The Golden Armor Divine Being led the way in front, guiding everyone to a palace, and stepped inside. The palace had no furnishings; instead, there was a pool the size of a basketball court, made entirely of purple jade, filled with red liquid.

The Golden Armor Divine Being ignored the pool of red liquid and led everyone to a large table. On the table were hundreds of jade bowls, each filled with a white liquid. The liquid emitted a refreshing fragrance that permeated the entire hall.

"Each person take a bowl and drink it all. Don’t leave a single drop," instructed the Golden Armor Divine Being.

At his command, the three hundred children scrambled toward the jade bowls, prompting another reprimand from the Golden Armor Divine Being, "Everyone, line up in order. No causing trouble."

The voice of the Golden Armor Divine Being was filled with authority, scaring the children into slowing their movements.

Zhang Chen approached a jade bowl, the scent of jasmine wafted into his seven orifices, causing his divine soul to tremble and his primordial spirit to become more active.

"This is Cloud Essence, a type of Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, only produced within innate white clouds. Each drop of this Cloud Essence is extremely precious, and you must drink it completely, for it concerns your foundational growth in the future. Do not underestimate it." The Golden Armor Divine Being’s advice came from nearby.

Observing the Cloud Essence, Zhang Chen could sense it truly was a treasure, but its specific effect was unknown, making it hard to judge. So he picked up the bowl and drank it all. As the Cloud Essence entered his stomach, Zhang Chen used his primordial spirit to carefully sense it, perceiving a peculiar power that nourished his meridians, soothed his hundred acupoints, and performed Washing Marrow and Cutting Hair on him.

An energy as gentle as a breeze spread throughout, cleansing every cell in Zhang Chen’s body. The force of the Cloud Essence disseminated into the acupoints, stored within them, altering the acupoints, while his meridians emitted a faint white glow.

At this moment, Zhang Chen’s essence, qi, and spirit were abundant. With the help of the Cloud Essence, traces of magical power were birthed. Zhang Chen’s absorption of Cloud Essence accelerated, and the transformation of his physical body quickened.

"After drinking, all of you jump into this pool and soak for an hour." The Golden Armor Divine Being instructed Zhang Chen and the others for the next step.

Without hesitation, Zhang Chen jumped straight in, decisive and without any delay.

Since he was here, he might as well get comfortable, as resistance was futile and impossible, so he could only choose to accept it.

As he plunged into the red pool, a burning pain instantly spread across his skin, the red liquid felt like a soldering iron, scorching every inch of his flesh.

The pool was soon filled with screams, as some of the children who entered cried out in agony, attempting to climb out of the water. The Golden Armor Divine Being appeared with a long whip in hand, the whip cutting through the air like shadows and forcibly whipping everyone attempting to climb back down into the red liquid.

"Endure it! Whoever dares to climb up shall meet my whip," the Golden Armor Divine Being’s whip was swift, leaving blood marks on the children’s bodies, throwing them back into the red liquid.

Without showing any expression, Zhang Chen moved to the center of the red liquid, enduring the burning pain, his primordial spirit carefully sensing his acupoints. The red liquid was incredibly fierce, penetrating his skin and pores, intensifying his bones, unceasingly destroying his cells and causing rebirth through destruction.

The Cloud Essence he drank earlier then played its role, and its energy emerged from the hundred acupoints, continuously repairing all his cells, ensuring his body wouldn’t be damaged despite being immersed in the red liquid.

Zhang Chen, being a great cultivator of the primordial spirit, found the burning pain excruciating to endure, yet by maneuvering his magical power, his primordial spirit entered the Meditation Realm, allowing him to block out the pain.

The screams in his ears faded away, and Zhang Chen’s magical power continued to circulate throughout his body. Accompanied by the call of the Golden Armor Divine Being, Zhang Chen awoke from his meditation realm and saw countless children climbing out of the red pool water, crying for their parents on the shore.

Zhang Chen followed the crowd and climbed ashore, then bowed his head to examine his body. His physical form showed no sign of damage, and more importantly, his physical strength had increased tenfold.

His bones were covered with blood-red threads that looked like steel wires, making his bones more resilient.

All his blood vessels were subtly transformed, becoming tougher, and his blood had thickened several times over.

"Everyone, keep quiet! Anyone who cries again will be thrown out to feed the dogs." The Golden Armor Divine Being coldly reprimanded, and immediately all the children stifled their cries.

"Now everyone line up and stand apart. The exalted one will teach you an action." The Golden Armor Divine Being commanded, and all the children quickly followed his order, standing in lines in the hall with each person spaced more than two meters apart.

Then the Golden Armor Divine Being assumed a peculiar posture and said to everyone, "All of you, mimic this position with me."

Zhang Chen gazed at the posture struck by the Golden Armor Divine Being with surprise, as it bore a resemblance to the training movement of the Powerful Warrior Moving Mountain Technique.

Observing the subtle details of the Golden Armor Divine Being’s posture, Zhang Chen mimicked him, pinched his left hand into a gesture, and began to assume the stance.

The action wasn’t difficult; everyone could perform it.

"Everyone must maintain this pose for five hours, no breaks allowed! If you need to relieve yourself, request permission immediately." The Golden Armor Divine Being continuously instructed the children.

Zhang Chen did not pay attention to what the Golden Armor Divine Being was saying but instead focused on comprehending the posture. As he expanded into the position, his blood was mobilized, with his tendons and bones stretched.

"This posture can help everyone stretch their tendons and bones, strengthening their physique." After a brief meditation, Zhang Chen wondered curiously why Kunlun Mountain would gather them.

As the Golden Armor Divine Being saw all the children had assumed the posture, he began to elaborate on the breathing practice and instructed everyone on adjusting their breathing.

Though all the people here were children, during the primitive age, people’s innate spirituality was exceptionally potent, and their learning ability remarkably strong.

This was an era favored by the divine, where the primitive people lived under the divine spirit’s glory, making their comprehension particularly powerful.

"I wonder if I can take this opportunity to cultivate the Mountain-moving Technique; I feel my current state is quite suitable for practicing it, and this technique seems to have some connection with the Mountain-moving Technique." Zhang Chen, worthy of being a Great Cultivator, carefully sensed the flow of Qi Blood within, constantly comparing it with his Primordial Spirit, discovering a mysterious connection between this technique and his Mountain-moving Technique.

"Now that I have already cultivated magical power, further practicing the Mountain-moving Technique isn’t difficult for me. Cultivating more techniques doesn’t harm me." Thinking of this, Zhang Chen began to operate the Mountain-moving Technique, and the next moment, a sigil spontaneously emerged within his body.

With the awakening of the Primordial Spirit, and the rebirth of magical power, Zhang Chen’s cultivation was gradually restored, his authority gradually returning.

Of course, he didn’t possess Bloodline Power; it seemed to remain in the original space-time, and currently, he was just a blank slate.

The Golden Armor Divine Being transformed into a repetitious machine, continuously expounding on the breathing method, repeating its mysteries, instructing everyone on practicing it, and repeatedly correcting everyone’s errors.

The Golden Armor Divine Being glanced at Zhang Chen when passing by, showing surprise in his eyes, but said nothing more as he continued to teach the next person.

"This technique seems to have a mysterious connection with my Mountain-moving Technique. Could it be the follow-up technique to the Mountain-moving Technique?" Zhang Chen felt puzzled, and as he practiced both techniques simultaneously, he sensed their peculiarity more distinctly. These two techniques complemented and enhanced each other.

His Powerful Warrior Moving Mountain Technique, as well as the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, had three preliminary techniques: "Powerful Warrior Moving Mountain," "Profound Technique Transformation," and "Giant Heaven Opening."

Mastering these three techniques allows for the complete cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill. As Zhang Chen practiced the Powerful Warrior Moving Mountain Technique, combined with this posture practice, his cultivation speed advanced rapidly, leading him to ponder, "Could it be that I inadvertently discovered another part of the cultivation technique? This place is the legendary Kunlun Mountain, the temple of The Queen Mother of the West. If they have another method, it wouldn’t be unreasonable."

Zhang Chen silently pondered for a moment and felt it quite possible; thus, he practiced more diligently, considering it an opportunity, potentially perfecting the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.
