Chapter 229: Fatty Meat Enters the Belly

Zhang Jian arrived at the location of the dragon vein fissure with his steps.

Only to see, deep within the civilian dwellings, a magnificent azure-gold ancient sword had fallen at the edge of a dragon vein opening, with a talisman pasted on the sword, now faintly emitting a magnificent aura, as if countless ancient immortals and deities were chanting sutras together, purifying the vengeful spirits of this area, firmly blocking them at the edge of the dragon vein fissure.

Moreover, several Daoists of the Dongguan Guan were circulating their magical power to maintain small altars, preventing the dragon vengeful spirits from rioting.

Thus, the dragon vein vengeful spirits would not dissipate.

But obviously, this method merely blocked one end, temporarily preserving the Great Qian dragon vein from being eroded by vengeful spirits.

But the dragon vein vengeful spirits, when forced, would run rampant everywhere, poisoning other regions.

Obviously, this was treating the symptom, not the root.

Chao Mu's gaze fell upon Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian strode forward directly, his form crossing some invisible magical barriers on the ground in a single step.

Seeing this ability, Chao Mu, this Primordial Spirit True Person, also became solemn in expression.

He had deliberately not informed Zhang Jian about the ground's magical barriers earlier, originally intending to test him a little, but now he couldn't help but fix his gaze on Zhang Jian.

This display of effortless strength made him glance sideways in astonishment.

"The Dao lineage of Tongshan?"

Chao Mu thought darkly in his heart.

Yet he saw Zhang Jian's form appear beside the fissure, and with a wave of his hand, he removed the Dongguan Guan talisman from the Tiangang Sword; the talisman flew back and, in an instant, landed in Chao Mu's hand.

Yet when the Dongguan Guan talisman was taken out, countless yin spirits and fierce ghosts' howls of filial piety came from below, that sharp howl of filial piety bursting forth, as if it could tear apart souls, even reaching the yin spirits.

Yet he saw Zhang Jian, who was merely a chi away, completely unharmed; with a wave of his hand, his surroundings manifested numerous treasure mirrors condensed from magical power, these mirrors clear and pure, not only blocking countless yin wails but also reflecting them back, causing the surging dragon vein vengeful spirits to instantly diminish by three-tenths.

"Excellent spell!"

Seeing this scene, Chao Mu's eyes brightened.

He could tell this was a yin spirit-level spell, with vast power and extremely strong defensive capability, seemingly also able to reflect.

Yet in the next moment, he saw Zhang Jian spread his five fingers, as if a dense azure treasure light burst forth from within.

Azure lotus leaves unfurled layer by layer, a layer of holy, compassionate, reincarnating, penetrating yin and yang's vast Dao rhythm unfolding from within.

Moreover, there was a deeper layer of redemptive flavor.

Seeing this scene, Chao Mu couldn't help but become solemn; within that azure treasure lotus, he seemed to see a towering divine being of redemption for heaven and earth being born within, that bearing resembling greatly the Ten Directions Savior Heavenly Venerable's divine aspect deep in the Nine Underworlds.

But inside, there seemed to be something different!

Yet he saw a beam of redemptive divine light sweep down into the depths of the dragon vein vengeful spirits, and within, he saw one after another warrior spirit being separated from the vengeful spirits, their obsessive thoughts actually pierced by that warm azure treasure light, the obsessions collapsing and dissolving, transforming malevolent qi into harmony, each involuntarily clasping their hands together in midair, simultaneously transforming into a stream of light that sank into the azure lotus the size of a dharma wheel.

"Success!"

Seeing this scene, Chao Mu's pupils flickered.

At this moment, there was some tremor in his eyes, as well as a hue of apprehension.

Mastering death, he was clearest about how obstinate these dragon vein vengeful spirits' obsessions were; even he, this Primordial Spirit True Person who wielded the authority of death, could only take a portion of the warrior spirits to a limited extent, and taking more would risk being backlashed by the dragon vein.

One backlash from the dragon vein, and even a Primordial Spirit True Person might not withstand it.

But his method was swallowing and suppressing, not the more difficult redemption.

However, redeeming a few warrior spirits was nothing; the point was whether Zhang Jian could fully redeem all the vengeful spirit warrior spirits of the dragon vein's power.

Zhang Jian, however, was now entering an excellent state.

The vengeful spirit warrior spirits deep in the dragon vein, for the improved Purifying Soul Azure Lotus Incantation, were nothing less than a huge piece of fatty meat.

The azure lotus treasure light burst forth, and numerous warrior spirits were directly transformed, passing through the rebirth gate within the Purifying Soul Azure Lotus to enter the Netherworld's Underworld.

Deep in Zhang Jian's mind, he could feel that the azure lotus incantation model had devoured the flowing essence of souls like a river, gradually condensing into form.

The radiance of the Redeeming Suffering Azure Lotus Heavenly Venerable's dharma aspect within grew longer, emitting a layer of vast, awe-inspiring divine power.

But as the Redeeming Suffering Azure Lotus Heavenly Venerable absorbed numerous soul essences and took form, it began to reach a limit, as if it could bear no more.

"Has it reached the limit so quickly?"

Zhang Jian felt slightly surprised.

At this moment, he sensed that the Purifying Soul Azure Lotus Incantation model had already become substantive, emitting a layer of vast power.

And if he wished to go further, unless this spell was broken through to the Primordial Spirit level.

For Zhang Jian, this still presented a certain difficulty.

Although he had improved the Purifying Soul Azure Lotus Incantation, he had not yet created a corresponding Primordial Spirit-level spell model.

But at this moment, the inflowing soul essence continued to pour in endlessly.

If it were other yin spirit venerables, they would likely have to stop this spell, lest they could not bear such soul essence's reflux, unable to endure it, and instead damage their yin spirit.

But for Zhang Jian, this was nothing.

He did not feel any limit.

His yin spirit had borne so many spell models, still feeling completely at ease, and did not think these virtual soul essences were a big deal.

With a thought, he integrated these absorbed soul essences into the dragon-chant sword body within him, strengthening the spiritual rhythm of this natal magic treasure.

This was a bargain for the Dragon Chant Sword.

And after the Dragon Chant Sword had absorbed nearly enough, he again poured the endless soul essences into the Mountains Rivers State Diagram, this natal spell model.

His entire body's divine light grew stronger and stronger.

In the distance, Chao Mu also witnessed this extraordinary omen, his gaze fluctuating; obviously, the magnificent azure lotus in Zhang Jian's hand was not only capable of redeeming warrior spirits, but could also absorb a portion of the purified soul essence to nourish himself, used for cultivation.

Seeing this wonderful method, Chao Mu's eyes flashed with an unusual hue, also somewhat envious, his mouth watering.

Even a Primordial Spirit True Person could not refuse the temptation of such a wonderful method.

However, considering Zhang Jian's current displayed cultivation and the Tongshan Dao lineage behind him, Chao Mu suppressed the ripple that surfaced in his mind.

Even if he were again envious of such a wonderful method, he could not touch it.

That Tongshan Dao lineage was not to be trifled with.

Zhang Jian sat cross-legged at this moment upon the Pure Soul Azure Lotus, his body radiating intense compassion and purifying divine light, appearing like a vast and towering divine being, yet the divine aura surrounding him was continuously expanding.

The more war souls purified by the Pure Soul Azure Lotus beneath his feet, the greater it seemed to become, as if the area below had transformed into a vast azure lotus void pure land, immense divine power piercing through the magnificent yin-yang realms.

Numerous technique models within his body were being fully integrated by the abundant soul essence.

In just half an hour, Zhang Jian felt that the yin divine power he still needed time to accumulate had gradually reached the upper limit of the second calamity of the Yin Divine Realm.

Approaching the third calamity!

This filled Zhang Jian's heart with joy.

Yet at this very moment, his eyes twitched as he sensed faint fluctuations within the two great royal mandates inside his body.

It seemed as if an unknown presence below possessed a tremendous attractive force toward the two great royal mandates.

"What is this?"

As his thought stirred, he saw the surging torrent of dragon soul vengeful spirits, which had been leveled flat below, suddenly begin to boil.
