I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 1090 The World Changes Again
Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, Wang Biao's expression changed: "Will that evil spirit grow stronger and stronger? What if it becomes a major force in the future? Who will be able to defeat it?"
"Even Master couldn't eliminate it?" Wang Biao looked at Zhang Chen with a puzzled expression, voicing his doubts.

"A mere evil spirit is nothing to me; I could blow it out with a single breath. Killing her would be as easy as turning my hand over." Zhang Chen slowly ate a bite of mutton.

"Then why didn't you kill the evil spirit and eliminate the threat?" Wang Biao asked, his face full of confusion.

Upon hearing Wang Biao's words, Zhang Chen sighed softly, his voice full of profound meaning: "I left him here to give the world a chance to survive. If I were to take action, it would affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and you extraordinary beings would be banished to the mortal realm once again."

Zhang Chen didn't hide anything and directly explained the Great Tribulation of the End of Dharma and the revival of spiritual energy. At the end, he added, "My strength is too great. If I were to take action, it would surely alarm the Heavenly Dao. The golden age that was about to arrive would once again fall into oblivion, and this era would be completely cut off."

Upon hearing this, Wang Biao gasped in shock, finally realizing the truth of the matter. His eyes were filled with astonishment, never expecting such a hidden secret to exist.

"So your ability to break through the martial arts qi and blood and shatter the shackles of human limits is not due to luck, but rather an inevitable product of the spiritual revival. And before you, there were many other brilliant talents, but unfortunately, they were constrained by the times and unable to show their own brilliance." Zhang Chen's words were full of regret.

Wang Biao's eyes were filled with solemnity as he silently folded the blueprint in his hand: "According to what you said, Master, as the spiritual energy between heaven and earth recovers, extraordinary powers will gradually appear in the world, and even those gods and demons that existed in ancient times will gradually recover?"

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this: "That is indeed the case."

Having survived himself, Zhang Chen didn't believe that those gods and demons hadn't left behind a backup plan. Moreover, beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level could already gather their true spirits in the River of Time and remain immortal. Even if they died for billions of years, they could still be resurrected from the River of Time. Therefore, Zhang Chen felt that those old guys must have left behind a backup plan.

It's like in my own time, those old guys left behind cultivation techniques. As long as someone cultivates the corresponding technique, the corresponding laws can reappear in the world, thus making those old guys come out from the depths of time and space again.

"So do you think I should make a move?" Zhang Chen asked, taking a leisurely sip of liquor as he spoke.

Upon hearing Zhang Chen's question, Wang Biao hurriedly replied respectfully, "Of course you cannot intervene. You cannot interrupt this golden age that is about to begin. This disciple still wants to achieve immortality."

At this point, he tentatively asked Zhang Chen, "I wonder what level of cultivation Master has reached that allows him to influence the workings of the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhang Chen remained silent for a moment before saying, "I am already on the sun, while you are only on the second floor of the ground. You have just transcended ordinary mortals. This is the difference between us."

Upon hearing this, Wang Biao was not discouraged at all, but overjoyed: "I will have to trouble you to look after me from now on."

Zhang Chen pulled a martial arts manual from his sleeve and threw it at Wang Biao's face: "This is a martial arts cultivation manual for those with Qi and Blood. Take it and practice it, and strive to reach a higher level as soon as possible. Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is reviving, there are great opportunities everywhere, and countless rare treasures of heaven and earth are being nurtured. You are now in charge of handling all the mysteries of the entire Han territory, and you will be supported by the resources of the entire Han Kingdom. You have already surpassed everyone else. I hope you will work hard to cultivate and reach even greater heights, and one day break through the limits of life and death, so that you can see the beautiful scenery of the changing world with me."

"Disciple will remember Master's teachings and will definitely work hard in cultivation." Wang Biao hurriedly and respectfully accepted the martial arts manual, then knelt down in front of Zhang Chen and bowed respectfully to him.

"Go and do your job. Take advantage of the high sun to subdue that evil spirit. Hurry up and get to work. If you act at night, it won't be easy to seal it away." Zhang Chen waved to Wang Biao, then turned and left, slightly drunk.

Wang Biao bowed respectfully to Zhang Chen's retreating figure before stepping out of the house. He went outside and told his men, "Prepare ten tons of explosives; I'm going to blast the mountain!"

His subordinates quickly obeyed and left. Wang Biao then turned to Liu, the warden, and instructed him, "I would like to trouble you, Warden Liu, to find a few people familiar with the mountains."

Wang Biao was busy dealing with the matter of suppressing evil spirits. Zhang Chen went into the house but did not see Bai Ziling because Bai Ziling had gone to visit her family's friends.

Bai Ziling recently got to know several female educated youths, and the two sides have become good friends.

Zhang Chen's body was cleansed, and he lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep. An hour later, Bai Ziling walked in from outside the gate, chattering away and waking Zhang Chen up: "Have you heard? A very important person has come to our hunting grounds, a very important person, specifically to deal with the evil spirits in the mountains. Do you think he can do it?"

Zhang Chen opened his eyes and saw Bai Ziling walk in with a curious expression, looking at him intently and asking a question.

Zhang Chen replied, "Of course." "How can you be so sure?" Bai Ziling asked curiously.

Zhang Chen pointed to the broken cups and cold dishes not far away: "Because the important person you mentioned has already been here. I gave him some pointers, so it won't be difficult for him to suppress that evil spirit."

"Your relationship with him is probably not simple, is it?" Bai Ziling looked surprised upon hearing this. Zhang Chen's possession of incredible power was a secret. How did Wang Biao, who was famous in the capital, know about it?

“Wang Biao is my apprentice,” Zhang Chen said.

Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, Bai Ziling was startled, a look of shock appearing in her eyes: "Really? The world-renowned Wang Biao is actually your apprentice?"

“How could this be fake? Once he’s finished with his business in the mountains, have him come and pay him a visit. Then you’ll know the truth.” Zhang Chen sat up with a smile, and Bai Ziling brought him a bowl of water. “That’s true. With your abilities, it’s not hard to understand if Wang Biao is your apprentice. Now that Wang Biao is the head of the mysterious department, his position is equivalent to a vice premier, and he holds the power of life and death. He’s certainly an asset to you.”

Zhang Chen disagreed: "I roam the world freely, why would I need Wang Biao's help?"

"Yes, yes, yes, my husband is the most amazing, he's the best in the world." Bai Ziling's voice was full of doting and pride.

The two were playfully bickering and whispering sweet nothings inside the house when, in the blink of an eye, the sun on the horizon was already turning red, shimmering with a faint red glow. Only moments remained before sunset. Zhang Chen stood in the courtyard, his eyes fixed on the mountains, a hint of surprise in them: "This shouldn't be happening. Logically, Wang Biao should have already blown up the mountains and sealed off that feng shui formation. Why has he delayed until now?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes. He sent the Five Ghosts to investigate. Through the Five Ghosts' perspective, he traversed the mountains and saw the mysterious group of people from the Mysterious Division standing at the foot of the mountain, ready for battle.

"Why are these people at the foot of the mountain instead of in the mountains?" A hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he controlled the five ghosts to continue heading towards the top of the mountain. In the distance, he saw Wang Biao standing on the mountain, looking down at the dark pit. He stood straight, like a javelin.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen understood that this guy wanted to fight the evil spirit and personally experience the mysterious power.

"That female ghost is just difficult for him to capture. He has to retreat when faced with martial arts qi and blood. It's just that those mysterious martial arts masters down the mountain are going to be in trouble." Zhang Chen knew the key to the matter, but he had no intention of meddling in other people's business. Giving Wang Biao a lesson would be good.

Besides, he was just Wang Biao's mentor, not his father, so he naturally didn't need to consider every aspect of things when doing things.

Zhang Chen withdrew the five ghosts, and seeing that it was getting dark, he took his wife to sleep.

The next day, Zhang Chen got up and took a walk in the courtyard. Just as the sun was high in the sky, he suddenly heard a booming sound coming from the mountains. The feng shui of the entire Daxing Mountain Range changed, and mysterious aurora flashed across the sky.

"The loopholes in the feng shui formation have been repaired, and the entire feng shui formation has completed its closed loop. The evil spirit is trapped inside the feng shui formation, but although it is trapped, it has also been nourished by the feng shui formation, and its strength will increase even faster. A complete and closed feng shui formation has at least a hundred times greater power." Zhang Chen tilted his head and looked at the aurora between the mountains, a hint of emotion in his eyes, but he had no intention of intervening. He was not afraid that the evil spirit's cultivation would progress too quickly, but he was afraid that the evil spirit's cultivation would progress too slowly.

"However, I still need to leave some methods behind, lest the powerful feng shui force burst the evil spirit. The essence of heaven and earth gathered by that feng shui formation is too powerful, which is not a good thing for the evil spirit. If it cannot withstand the nourishment, it may be overwhelmed and die."

As soon as Zhang Chen thought of this, he saw his body transform into sound waves and disappear from the spot.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recovers at an increasingly rapid pace, the methods it has mastered are gradually reviving, and its power is also gradually beginning to recover.

The feng shui formation was set up by Zhang Chen. He walked into the formation as if it were flat ground and rushed directly into the center of the formation. He saw the evil ghost with its head raised and roaring. It was disheveled, had a blue face and fangs, and was very terrifying and ferocious. It kept crashing into the feng shui formation, but unfortunately the feng shui formation was like an impregnable wall. It was not something that it could break through.

Seemingly sensing Zhang Chen's presence, the female ghost paused in her act of crashing into the copper wall and iron barrier, then suddenly turned around and pounced towards Zhang Chen.

"I am the bright moon in the heavens, and you are but a firefly. How can you compete with my brilliance?" Zhang Chen looked at the approaching wild ghost with a disdainful smile.
