Zhang Chen sensed that something was amiss. He felt that Queen Mother of the West was no good person, but now that he had boarded the pirate ship, he had no way out except to put down roots on Kunlun Mountain.
The key was that he could no longer find the way back.
After dismissing the people flattering him, Zhang Chen's eyes revealed a trace of contemplation. But now that things had come to this, he had no better option than to continue cultivating and climb upward, waiting to see how Queen Mother of the West would make her next move.
Since he had returned to the Primordial Era through the Golden Finger in a dream, there had to be a reason meant for him.
In the days that followed, as his various authorities revived, the power of the Sun True Fire gradually returned, and his magical power began to grow rapidly. Zhang Chen's cultivation speed became faster and faster. Before long, his body had taken on a bronze hue, his flesh and skin turning to copper as he completed the cultivation of the second movement.
Another three months passed. When the cultivation session ended, the Golden Armored General said to everyone, "You may disperse. Fu, stay behind."
The crowd dispersed one after another, leaving only Zhang Chen and the Golden Armored General behind.
"Fu, I was right about you. Your talent truly surpasses that of your peers. Next, I will teach you the third movement. This movement can turn your bones into mysterious iron. Once you forge such a body, you may meet Queen Mother of the West and advance to become a Golden Armored General." The Golden Armored General patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, words of praise flowing from his mouth.
"Thank you for your praise, General.
