Chapter 1353 - 981: Evolution of Sun and Moon

The Six Paths of Reincarnation had long been mastered and refined by Zhang Chen. With just a slight thought, the next moment he saw the Six Paths of Reincarnation depart from the Great Thousand Worlds and fall into Zhang Chen’s Small Thousand World.

As soon as the Six Paths of Reincarnation entered the Small Thousand World, the entire Small Thousand World started to tremble madly. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc shimmered with ancient and mysterious light, having divine runes circulating on it. Then the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc directly drilled into a certain other-dimensional space deep within the earth, causing the other-dimensional space to tremble incessantly, evolving into a Reincarnation World, with the Underworld silently opening up at this moment.

At this moment, the other dimension evolved by the Six Paths of Reincarnation combined with the Great Thousand World Law, with strands of Reincarnation Power flowing throughout the Small Thousand World, causing a cataclysmic change in Zhang Chen’s Small Thousand World.

The sun and moon rapidly coalesced, stars became dazzling, the entire world transformed from stagnant water into circulating living water. The cycle of life and death within the world completed, forming a perfect conversion. Then Zhang Chen’s Small Thousand World began to expand wildly, life within the world started to generate, and birds, beasts, insects, and fish gradually hatched among the vegetation and mountains.

Along with the world’s transformation, Zhang Chen’s Small Thousand World leapt in evolution to become a Middle Thousand World. The world barrier thickened more than tenfold, the World Tree also expanded and grew more than tenfold, and the World Tree, receiving the nourishment of the Power of the World, grew madly, with the concentration of Innate Qi between Heaven and Earth increasing rapidly.

"The Middle Thousand World is enough for me, the Ancestor, to sleep!" The Queen Mother of the West’s voice sounded: "Quickly let me in!"

The Queen Mother of the West could not sense Zhang Chen’s Celestial Eye nor the changes in Zhang Chen’s world, but she could feel the fluctuations of Zhang Chen’s soul. As the Small Thousand World evolved into a Middle Thousand World, Zhang Chen’s Primordial Spirit also began to undergo subtle changes, receiving nourishment from the Middle Thousand World. With the Queen Mother of the West’s Dao Practice estimates, it was already clear that Zhang Chen’s Small Thousand World had evolved.

Having acquired a complete Six Paths of Reincarnation, if it couldn’t evolve into a Middle Thousand World, the Queen Mother wouldn’t believe it.

Upon hearing the Queen Mother’s words, Zhang Chen didn’t refuse. With a thought, he opened the connection channel between the Ice Hell and the Middle Thousand World. The next moment, the Queen Mother’s figure flashed, appearing in the Middle Thousand World.

As soon as the Queen Mother appeared in the Middle Thousand World, the entire world seemed to emit a creaking sound, as if overwhelmed, and the world’s operations slowed down slightly.

"Such a rich Innate Primordial Qi, but the Middle Thousand World accommodating beings of Primordial level is still somewhat strenuous." The Queen Mother stood within the Middle Thousand World, greedily absorbing a mouthful of Primordial Qi between Heaven and Earth, then spoke, seemingly afraid that Zhang Chen would reconsider due to her affecting the world’s operations: "Don’t worry, as long as I fully restrain my aura, it won’t affect the operation and evolution of your Middle Thousand World."

With these words, the Queen Mother began to restrain her aura, collecting it to the extreme. As the Queen Mother restrained her aura, the operation of the world’s law began to flow smoothly again, no longer as stagnant as before.

The Queen Mother casually sought out a mountain peak, buried herself within the Earth Vein, absorbing the Power of the Earth Veins while also absorbing the Innate Qi between Heaven and Earth.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Queen Mother and, seeing that she did not affect the operation of his world, stopped paying attention.

The concentration of Origin within the Queen Mother’s body was still less than the concentration of Innate Qi within the Middle Thousand World. As long as she lived well within the Middle Thousand World, her strength would not regress, but instead start to increase.

"Zhang Chen, I’ve already sensed the presence of Innate Qi; I also wish to enter that world!" Daoist Wen in the Ice Hell felt the rich Innate Primordial Qi within the Middle Thousand World and couldn’t sit still, starting to clamor to enter.

"The Queen Mother has established numerous great merits repeatedly and thus has the qualification to cultivate within the Middle Thousand World. You have no merits yet, what qualification do you have to cultivate within it?" Zhang Chen refuted Daoist Wen’s words, interrupting his delusion: "If you wish to cultivate within it, you have to establish great merits first. Otherwise, you can forget about entering."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Wen immediately wilted: "When will you teach me how to establish merit?"

"Soon!" Zhang Chen closed his Celestial Eye and replied.

His current actions likely have already offended the Great Victory Human King, who cannot tolerate his existence, and soon would retaliate.

For Zhang Chen, unless necessary, he doesn’t want to clash with the Great Victory Royalty. After all, the transformation of Heaven and Earth has already begun; once a clash occurs, he too won’t be able to suppress the Origin within his body.

"I wonder if the three Twelfth Tier deities of the Great Victory Royalty will be affected by the changes of Heaven and Earth." Zhang Chen mused inwardly.

But he quickly restrained his thoughts, directly summoning the Corpse Ancestor. Looking at the Corpse Ancestor he had stabilized, he saw the other party with a green face and sharp teeth, corpse aura swirling around him, with Primordial Qi flowing, giving off a terrifying pressure from his body, making one feel fearful and jittery at the sight.

"Boy, quickly release me; the Ancestor shall absolve you of your crimes. Otherwise, once I, the Ancestor, emerge, I’ll make you regret!" The Corpse Ancestor’s voice was icy as he looked at Zhang Chen:

"Your Body-Stabilizing Rune might be good, but it won’t hold me for long. Once I gain freedom, it will be your demise."

"Oh?" Zhang Chen, upon hearing this, looked at the Corpse Ancestor with a strange smile in his eyes: "Of course I know my Body-Stabilizing Rune won’t hold the Ancestor for long, but I never intended to rely on it to suppress you."

At this point, Zhang Chen extended his finger, forming a mark, and gently pointed at the brow of the Corpse Ancestor.

The Corpse Ancestor was different from the Queen Mother of the West. When he refined the Queen Mother’s body back then, she was at her peak. Now, the Corpse Ancestor was merely possessing a Primordial level with only the ability of a Celestial Immortal at best. It wouldn’t take Zhang Chen much time to refine him.

"Kid, what do you want to do to me?" The Corpse Ancestor, sensing Zhang Chen’s Corpse Control Skill mark, became frantic, an ominous, predator-prey feeling surged into his heart, and he struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the Body-Stabilizing Rune. But how could Zhang Chen give him the chance? Zhang Chen gently pointed his finger, giving the Corpse Ancestor no time to react. The mark already fell on the Corpse Ancestor, and the next moment, the power of Time Acceleration descended, causing the marks on the Corpse Ancestor to rapidly transform.

Inside the Kyoto Royal Palace

Great Victory Human King listened to the guard’s report, his fists clenched, his eyes full of sorrow: "That treacherous villain actually flayed Wen Xin alive, and killed my most beloved princess. I won’t let this pass, I’ll have an undying enmity with him!"

The Great Victory Human King’s eyes were full of sorrow: "I will extract his soul and refine it into a lamp, I will definitely not forgive him!"

"Great King, please reconsider, Zhang Chen’s power is unfathomable, it is unwise for us to fall out with him." A twelfth-tier deity hastily consoled.

"Am I to just watch as he acts so arrogantly?" The Great Victory Human King’s eyes were full of intent to kill: "I refuse to allow anyone to trample over me!"

"Perhaps we can use the power of the Gong Family to restrain Zhang Chen, allowing the Zhang Family and the Gong Family to fight to the death, buying time for us," suggested the twelfth-tier deity.

Upon hearing this, the Great Victory Human King fell silent, after a long time he stated: "Summon the Patriarch of the Gong Family, Gong Xufeng."

In fact, before the turmoil in the royal capital, the direct descendance of the Gong Family had already been transferred by Gong Xufeng, dispatched to Prince Pingbian’s mansion to await orders. However, Gong Xufeng did not leave and stayed in Kyoto to command the Gong Family’s collateral relatives, so the Great Victory Royal Family did not notice the Gong Family’s small movements.

Gong Xufeng made his way all the way to the Inner Palace, paying respects to the Great Victory Human King with a bow: "Greetings, Great King!"

The Great Victory Human King nodded: "No need for formalities, my dear subject. I summoned you today for a very crucial matter to entrust to you."

Zhang Family residence

Zhang Chen was diligently refining the Corpse Ancestor, and with the passage of one hundred and twenty years, Zhang Chen had grasped the Corpse Ancestor’s head, and was extending downwards to his neck and cervical vertebrae.

"Kid, what have you done to me! Stop it! Stop right now!" the Corpse Ancestor cursed at Zhang Chen, continually scolding Zhang Chen, seemingly trying to intimidate him.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Corpse Ancestor, a smile on his lips: "The Ancestor said he would flay me alive after escaping, so to prevent that, I had to take some precautions."

According to Zhang Chen’s estimation, under the power of Time Acceleration, it would only take five days to completely refine and control the Corpse Ancestor, ensuring he had another Primordial Daluo-level means of protection from then on.

"Damn it! Just wait, in one more incense burning’s time, I’ll break free and swallow you whole." The Corpse Ancestor glared fiercely at Zhang Chen.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at the Corpse Ancestor, uttered a faint ’oh,’ then pulled out a stack of talismans from his sleeve, leisurely sticking them onto the Corpse Ancestor. As he attached them, he also retrieved the exhausted talismans to recharge them.

"What the hell!" Seeing the talismans stuck on his body, the Corpse Ancestor’s eyes widened, feeling extremely outraged.

"Hehe, I never said I only had one talisman, rest assured, the one thing I don’t lack is talismans." Zhang Chen said with a smile, patting the Corpse Ancestor’s head: "Since you’re already in my hands, you might as well accept your fate. Dreaming of escaping from me is pure fantasy."

"You brat! I’m a tiger fallen into a pit, bullied by a dog!" The Corpse Ancestor’s voice was full of indignation. If he were in his peak state, he’d devour the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of this little kid in one breath, but who would have thought he’d end up like this, so humiliated?

However, even though anger boiled within, the Corpse Ancestor wasn’t one to act irrationally. He had to think of a way to escape this calamity, so he suppressed his fury and looked at Zhang Chen: "Kid, how about making a deal? If you let me go, I can teach you the Legendary Celestial Immortal Dao! I also know the location of the legendary Spiritual World, I can take you there. In the Spiritual World, there are countless secret treasures and Elixirs of Immortality. Just one can grant immortality, and there are divine objects that can enhance power. Once obtained, you could soar into the skies, surpassing even me."

"If the Spiritual World is so great, why don’t you go?" Zhang Chen pretended not to know the allure of the Spiritual World, and asked in return.
