Chapter 263

Zhang Jian's divine sense constantly enveloped the interior of the temple; seeing this, he merely smiled faintly.

The cultivation path of this white-clad female cultivator should be similar to that of the Xuanti sects, like the Shangqing Sword Sect, focusing on swordsmanship.

As for which specific sect it is, Zhang Jian cannot identify it.

Although his cultivation is extraordinarily high, he has had no contact with these sects, and he has no impression of such a storage of divine power and aura.

After confirming that it was not some heretical path, he did not pay it any attention at the moment.

However, in an instant he noticed a squad of divine generals flying out from the ground of Haojing City, heading toward his direction.

This squad of divine generals was in a hurry, and within a moment they disappeared into the earth, though their direction was toward Zhongjin Prefecture.

Zhongjin Prefecture is near the capital region; it is a unique prefecture.

Smaller than ordinary prefectures but larger than some ordinary large counties.

It lies within the capital region, and its status is very unique.

After this batch of divine generals set out, two more batches subsequently appeared within Haojing City, transforming into divine light and heading toward Zhongjin Prefecture.

Zhang Jian felt somewhat surprised; it seems something has happened around Zhongjin Prefecture, otherwise the City God's Divine Bureau would not frequently mobilize troops and generals.

Zhang Jian's gaze flickered; when the fourth batch of divine generals appeared, he casually reached out and seized the leading divine general.

He condensed the Binding Divine Seal in his hand, and in an instant he brought the divine general close.

At this moment, the divine general's face showed shock and anger, flustered; upon seeing Zhang Jian, his expression froze, and he hastily performed a salute.

"Greetings, Scholar Zhang!"

He naturally recognized Zhang Jian, who is renowned as a figure of storm and stress in the eyes of all the gods of Haojing City, possessing a mighty righteous aura.

Moreover, the City God King had deliberately issued an order not to disturb the Zhang residence, nor to loiter before the Zhang gate.

This shows how special his status is!

Zhang Jian casually asked:

"What has happened in the capital region that so many divine soldiers and generals have been dispatched?"

"Reporting to Scholar Zhang, Yin troops have appeared passing through Zhongjin Prefecture; the City God King suspects that a cultivator has opened several forbidden laws in battlefields, practicing evil arts!"

Zhang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand, and indicated that this divine general should depart on his own.

In folk mythology, the passage of Yin troops is a terrifying omen; once encountered, one is easily taken away by the soul, leaving behind a desolate land.

His eyes flickered.

As a strategic stronghold of the capital region, Zhongjin Prefecture, at the end of each dynasty, always becomes a stalemate battlefield, containing several famous ancient battlefields where countless corpses are buried.

It appears that some heretical cultivators have begun to take notice of them.

"Looks like there's something to do again!"

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhang Jian's expression; he hasn't exercised his muscles in a long time, and for this he has been eating only vegetables, unable to "pluck wool" from the ancestral temple.

But Zhang Jian is not in a hurry; in the end, someone will surely come to request this matter.

……

At the Scholar's Official Residence, after the first batch of vegetable seeds was distributed, Zhang Jian continued his second batch of trial planting.

He did not neglect his cultivation.

The third true intent he contemplated has already been successfully condensed.

After mastering the Golden Crow Fission Great Law, he directly contemplated the principle of Yang Extreme and Yin Birth.

He himself has already cultivated the Yin Yin Refining Form Technique to the highest realm, capable of condensing the Yin Yin Jade Rabbit Dharma Aspect; the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Yin-Yang circulation makes contemplating the Yin-Yang true intent not difficult.

However, what Zhang Jian wants is not merely to contemplate a single Yin-Yang true intent.

Rather, he wants to perfect the Yin Yin Refining Form Technique to the level of the Primordial Spirit, achieving another Primordial Spirit Immortal Law.

Then, by promoting the fusion of the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit, he might give birth to a powerful Primordial Spirit Immortal Law based on the Yin-Yang true intent.

However, this idea has been temporarily suppressed by Zhang Jian; his current main focus is the complete integration of the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram.

The Mountains and Rivers State Diagram is his true foundation; only after truly stepping into the Primordial Spirit realm will he divert attention to other matters, deepening the development of various immortal arts.

After the third Yin-Yang true intent condensed into form, Zhang Jian turned his gaze to the fourth true intent, the "Five Elements."

The mutual generation and restriction of the Five Elements is a fundamental course that many cultivators from immortal sects must undergo; they must contemplate various basic Five Elements techniques, talismans, and runes, in order to extend them into their own areas of expertise.

Zhang Jian possesses four spiritual roots, mainly metal and fire, followed by wind and thunder.

Lacking are wood, earth, and water.

If he wishes to contemplate the Five Elements true intent, the best way is undoubtedly to choose a technique related to the Five Elements to supplement the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram.

Zhang Jian also tried to continue searching for valuable ancient scriptures in the Eastern Study, hoping to create a Five Elements technique himself, but after half a month of searching, he abandoned this idea.

Instead, he unintentionally discovered a volume titled *Wu Xiang Jing* in the corner of the Eastern Room; this ancient scripture is written in ancient gold script, likely a relic left by a destroyed sect, beneficial for contemplating the Illusion-Reality true intent.

Zhang Jian ultimately decided to visit the Tongshan Dao Lineage to see if the sect possesses any high-level Five Elements techniques.

Tongshan

Towering divine mountain within the Great Marsh and Vast Ocean, around which patches of green land emerge in the marsh, like magnificent islands; the green land is surrounded by thin, misty fog, with faint glimmers of rune seals flowing out from within.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's Yang God manifestation appeared; his entire body seemed like a proud golden light of the sun sweeping through the void, its magnificent momentum causing many cultivators in the red palace celestial halls to tremble with shock.

Many Yin God venerables also turned their gazes toward him.

This pure yang golden light seems like a certain Primordial Spirit True Person returning to the sect.

Beheading Demon Peak lies on one of the main peaks of the magnificent divine mountain range; the mountain ridges are beautiful and graceful, with many Daoist temples and quiet chambers, and there are not a few disciples.

Before Beheading Demon Peak, Iron Heart Daoist has always been sitting on the blue stone cultivating; each day he also explains Daoist laws to some inner disciples of Beheading Demon Peak; at this moment, seeing a round golden sun breaking through the void in the distance, his expression changed.

"Pure yang golden light?"

His thoughts stirred; he initially thought it was some Primordial Spirit True Person from within the Dao Lineage arriving, and was about to rise to greet him, but seeing the proud golden light below, Zhang Jian's figure emerged.

"Uncle Iron Heart!"

"A Yu, is it you…"

At this moment, Iron Heart Daoist stared at Zhang Jian with somewhat astonished eyes.

"You have already attained the Primordial Spirit?"

Iron Heart Daoist opened his mouth wide, his Dao-heart violently surging, pointing at Zhang Jian unable to speak.

Seeing his expression with a slight helplessness at the corner of his mouth, Zhang Jian did not mean to show off like this, but rather, with the Yang Spirit wandering freely, the pure yang golden light manifesting, it was indeed inconvenient to use magic power to conceal it.

Of course, inconvenient does not mean impossible.

There is indeed a bit of intentionality in this; having achieved cultivation, if one does not reveal a part of it, how could one feel embarrassed to repeatedly reach out to the elders for support, or seek investment?

How could the ancestral masters rest assured in entrusting their treasures to him!

One must let others see something substantial.

The Pure Yang Yang Spirit is precisely the most direct manifestation.

At this moment, facing Iron Heart Daoist's astonished gaze, he smiled and said.

"It's nothing, merely a fortunate coincidence, advancing the Yin Spirit to Yang Spirit prematurely!"

This, however, made Iron Heart Daoist even more shaken.

Advancing the Yin Spirit to Yang Spirit prematurely—such a fortunate opportunity is rare under heaven and earth; this almost levels most of the obstacles before ascending to the Primordial Spirit.

Iron Heart Daoist's envious eyes were nearly popping out.

In his mind, only one thought remained: to immediately inform the Slay Demon True Lord!
