The invisibility talisman is surely a good thing!

[Skill 11 (Fifth Tier): Invisibility Talisman (0/800000)] -> [Skill 11 (Sixth Tier): Invisibility Talisman (0/1600000)]

To upgrade the invisibility talisman to the sixth tier requires 1,600,000 experience points, while Zhang Chen currently has only 1,312,000 experience points remaining, clearly not enough for another upgrade.

[Skill 11 (Sixth Tier): Invisibility Talisman (0/1600000)]

[Annotation 1: You will gain the sixth level of the law of cause and effect strength; once you use the Invisibility Technique, even a sixth-tier cultivator cannot discern your form.]

[Annotation 2: When you remain still, no mysterious power below the sixth tier can touch you.]

[Annotation 3: When you walk, you won't cause the air to move.]

Looking at the Golden Finger interface in front of him, Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a hint of joy; another flaw of his Golden Finger had been corrected, now walking won't stir the air, definitely removing a fatal defect.

At this moment, Zhang Chen's skill points had dwindled down to just 1,312,000, which he needed to utilize wisely.

Zhang Chen's gaze fell upon the Sealing Rune, only to see that upgrading it demanded 2,000,000 points, thus he had to shift his focus to the Body-Stabilizing Rune, which was currently only at the fourth tier, needing 800,000 skill points.

Without hesitation, Zhang Chen directly allocated experience points to the Body-Stabilizing Rune:

[Skill 8 (Fourth Tier): Body-Stabilizing Rune (0/800000)] -> [Skill 8 (Fifth Tier): Body-Stabilizing Rune (0/1600000)]

[Annotation 1: You can immobilize an unguarded fifth-tier mystery. As long as the talisman touches their body, they can be immobilized by you.]

At this time, Zhang Chen's remaining skill points were only 512,000 points.

His gaze swept over all his skills, finally settling on Divine Mist Transformation, Visualization Technique, Fire Extinguishing Rune, Wind Stabilizing Rune, Hard Earth Talisman, Dragon Qi, and Water Control Technique.

Numerous thoughts flashed in Zhang Chen's mind, ultimately choosing not to allocate points, but rather to hold back, anticipating future times when he acquires a higher level Qi Cultivation Technique that still requires points for entry-level learning.

Moreover, the remaining skills were not significantly improving combat strength; he needed to reserve skill points for emergencies.

Especially since Qi Cultivation Technique's perfection had greatly enhanced the Five-Colored Divine Light by an impressive twelve meters. Though twelve meters wasn't a long distance, it granted Zhang Chen more reaction time.

"Someday, my Five-Colored Divine Light will shine without limit." Zhang Chen mumbled to himself, then had time to carefully observe the bottom of the pool, noticing it was just an empty pit carved out from the stone, engraved with countless runes meant to seal the Cursed Demon God.

"Where has the Cursed Demon God gone? It seems to have slipped away with all the treasures before, considering it was badly injured by the Emperor, then endured vast changes of heaven and earth; how much strength could remain? It certainly saw the situation was unfavorable and took the opportunity to flee." After Zhang Chen bounced around the pit and found nothing valuable, he looked upward, gaze burning hot: "My dear niece, I wonder if you've left any treasures behind, I'm here now."

He turned into mist and ascended, landing on the platform and staring intently at the green light shield supported by branches, wanting to approach but the green shield was like a wall, blocking him.

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen scrutinized the green light shield before him, a multitude of thoughts raced: "My Five-Colored Divine Light can cleanse all Five Elements mysteries..."

The next moment, the five-colored radiance shimmered behind Zhang Chen, emanating towards the tree coffin but when the Five-Colored Light grazed the tree coffin, no ripple was felt.

"Impossible! How could my Five-Colored Divine Light elicit no response from the Tree of Life?" A look of disbelief was evident in Zhang Chen's eyes.

"Who said the Tree of Life belonged to the Five Elements? Don't let external labels mislead you; the name 'Tree of Life' is merely a name given by others, its true name ought to be 'Heart of Life.' It's not a concentration of wood essence but rather a convergence of the essence of the Power of Life, an extraordinary item born from the condensed life energies of numerous gods and demons after their fall in ancient times, its body merely a form." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon chirped out of nowhere, echoing with laughter.

Darkening at the remark, Zhang Chen queried: "What should we do then? How can I collect the tree coffin and the remains of gods and demons?"

The light shield was absolutely beyond his capacity to shatter.

"You?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon surveyed Zhang Chen: "With your own strength, even nibbling around the edges is pointless, can you, a mere ant, break the Ancient Divine Prohibition?"

"We can't break this Forbidden Technique, but don't fret, for the court has ways, the court has twelfth-tier mysteries, undoubtedly capable of breaching the light shield." Following that, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon suggested: "Maybe Prince Pingbian's Mansion has solutions too."

"This is the corpse of an Ancient Divine Demon and the Tree of Life, a priceless treasure, should it really be left to the court and Prince Pingbian's Mansion?" Zhang Chen mused bitterly.

"There is another way, perhaps what you seized from Chai Chuanxin, the box from the corpse, might hold a surprise to help you breach the tomb." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon offered.

Reflecting on the box he had taken from Chai Chuanxin, Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, quickly retrieving the box for inspection. The box was palm-sized, its material unknown, seamlessly formed without any apparent opening method.

"How should the box be opened?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The box is enveloped in a special Forbidden Technique, maybe Chen Xu's tools might have the means to cleanse it." The Great Freedom Celestial Demon responded.

Giving the Great Freedom Celestial Demon a skeptical glance, Zhang Chen promptly withdrew him, then eyeing the coffin, especially the female corpse within: "Dear niece, it's not that your uncle is unwilling to save you, it's just that I lack the means to break through your protection, only when I've grown stronger will I return to liberate you from misery."

Saying this, Zhang Chen circled the Tree of Life, shaking his head inwardly: "Truly stingy, not even a skill dropped."

Gazing at the Tree of Life, Zhang Chen was not content not plucking anything from its form.

But after rounding it half the circle, there was utterly no means to nibble on the porcupine, so he could only turn away unwillingly.

Zhang Chen dissolved into mist, disappearing down the passage, unable to take the coffin with him. As for handing it over to Prince Pingbian's Mansion? Certainly not! Zhang Chen decided, planning to return and alert Xie Lingyun, requesting actions from the Inspection and Supervision Department, at that point perhaps he could exploit the muddy waters and claim a share.

Reluctantly departing, Zhang Chen stroked the box within his chest, believing the key to shattering the tree coffin lay within it.

It wasn't guaranteed the court and Inspection and Supervision Department would have the means to break the coffin's defenses.

Hastening through the collapsing corridor, Zhang Chen swiftly traversed, as leaving the core of the Feng Shui Grand Array, the collapses were not severe, even preserved, with only scattered stones and additional cracks.

However, midway, a frenzy of laughter echoed from afar in the stone cavern: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Little did I know Chai Chuanxin today would find such fortune, randomly tunneling into a rock cavern to avoid seismic collapse, unexpectedly bringing Great Creation before me."

The echo reverberated throughout the cavern, causing the water stream Zhang Chen assumed to halt: "Is it Tushan Qing, that Fox Spirit?"

"That Fox Spirit sure hasn't escaped yet? Fox Fairy Nannan said Tushan Qing was just a second-tier cultivation, right?" Zhang Chen recalled Tushan Qing's details and quickly reverted to his original form before activating the Invisibility Talisman.

Now his Invisibility Talisman was at the sixth tier, only a seventh-tier existence could uncover his skill, but Tushan Qing was merely second-tier, how could he discern his Invisibility Technique?

"Could the Fox Spirit have discovered Creation, might I gain unexpected bounty again?" Zhang Chen contemplated inwardly.
