Chapter 282: Yin Spirit's Fourth Tribulation (4K)

The "Yellow Court Blessed Land Great Method" is established upon the earthly void, using the earth as an anchor point, continuously refining and forming a special void dharma realm, thereby becoming a blessed land.

This is the most prominent feature of spatial-type cultivation methods; most spatial-type cultivation requires an anchor point, whether one's own primordial spirit, or with the aid of a certain magical treasure, or directly setting the anchor point within the dantian space, or within the purple mansion, or upon the earth itself.

Even some that are linked to the Yin Spirit can directly facilitate one's own manifestation.

According to the cultivation method of this extra-territorial transmission, the better the physical conditions of the chosen earthly anchor point, the greater the benefits after successful cultivation.

First choice is a place with spiritual veins, or where spiritual jade ore veins are located; second is a place abundant in heavenly and earthly spiritual qi; or alternatively, a place with superb feng shui.

Zhang Jian, however, had no such particular concerns.

He directly chose the earthly anchor point within the Zhuangyuan Manor.

Relying on his own exceptional comprehension, he completely disregarded the advantages brought by this geography.

Moreover, choosing the earthly anchor point within the Zhuangyuan Manor also made it convenient for him to return at any time.

Of course, it also facilitated his research and improvement of species.

However, regarding the specific void anchor point medium, he still made some choices; he chose a piece of foundation stone.

That foundation stone was a piece of earth-attribute heavenly and earthly spiritual stone specially refined by Zhang Jian.

Only seeing the void anchor point selection completed, Zhang Jian then operated his Yang Spirit divine consciousness to directly condense a blessed land dharma talisman, integrating it into this heavenly and earthly spiritual stone, gradually drawing a layer of void dharma realm power to it, merging into the blessed land dharma talisman, condensing into a small void dharma realm.

The cultivation method of this "Yellow Court Blessed Land Great Method" is actually hardly different from that of the Divine Path Divine Bureaucracy; it can utilize the power of incense to continuously consolidate the void dharma realm, or with the aid of spiritual veins, or the power of heavenly and earthly spiritual qi, forming a void nexus, with the void anchor point as the center forming a stable void dharma realm.

Ultimately relying on various external forces to continuously grow stronger.

External forces Zhang Jian directly omitted; he directly infused his own magical power into the Yellow Court Blessed Land, causing this void dharma realm to continuously merge with the earth's pulse power, the void dharma realm continuously expanding.

Actually, for Zhang Jian, the "Yellow Court Blessed Land Great Method" is comparatively more difficult to cultivate than other Yin Spirit-level techniques.

It has a great demand for external objects and material substances.

Whereas other Yin Spirit-level techniques mostly only require relying on exceptional comprehension to be completed.

But possessing formidable comprehension, cultivating this method, he was still like a tiger gaining wings.

However, Zhang Jian soon discovered that if the Yellow Court Blessed Land were to expand toward the void dharma realm of the real world, it would likely be easily detected by the national fortune dragon qi, leading to targeted suppression.

He quickly adjusted his thinking, directing his own Yellow Court Blessed Land dharma realm to expand toward the void sub-layer where the void sub-layer resides, which is also the void where the divine bureaucracies of the gods in Haojing City reside.

Further expansion inward might be the void dharma realm where the Nine Netherworld Underworld resides.

Zhang Jian also anchored the Yellow Court Blessed Land within the void dharma realm where the divine bureaucracies of the gods reside; through the vast void dharma realm, he seemed able to see layers upon layers of hazy radiance spreading throughout the deep, dark void, those being the glimmers of deities with weak divine power.

And some powerful deities have already been able to freely conceal their own divine bureaucracies.

The Yellow Court Blessed Land being able to expand into the inner-layer void, to some extent represents that it already possesses dharma power not inferior to that of Golden Core level.

According to normal cultivation steps, at this point one should ideally seek out some special heavenly and earthly spiritual objects to invest within, or the five elements, or yin and yang, or the earth, or Qiankun spiritual objects, thereby strengthening the foundation of the Yellow Court Blessed Land.

Actually, this method is also like the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, being a overlapping composite type of technique.

And this point Zhang Jian had prepared for early on.

Yin-yang spiritual objects, five-element spiritual objects, can directly use a portion of yin-yang, five-element runes as substitutes, merely slightly more troublesome.

Injecting heavenly and earthly spiritual objects into it, tracing their essence, is merely a better optimization of the blessed land dharma realm's dharma rune structure.

He had early comprehended the true meaning of yin-yang, the true meaning of the five elements, and can fully achieve this.

Qiankun spiritual objects, earthly spiritual objects, he had already prepared in advance.

Having slaughtered so many cultivators, he actually also does not lack heavenly and earthly spiritual objects; truly lacking are those that can be directly purchased from within the Tongshan Dao lineage.

But basically, purchasing is not needed.

The only lacking earthly spiritual object, the stock of the Fengling Mountain God also has.

Actually, if lacking, he would merely be somewhat troublesome; independently researching the corresponding rune structure would suffice to prompt the blessed land dharma realm to metamorphose.

When Zhang Jian injected the numerous spiritual objects, and one after another optimized magical power runes into the void dharma realm.

Boom—!

Zhang Jian then heard the void's roaring sound, the power of yin-yang and the five elements merging into his void dharma realm, allowing the blessed land spatial power to gradually penetrate through the boundary between the void dharma realm and the real dharma realm.

The blessed land void dharma realm expanded, metamorphosed, seeming able to partially interfere with the power of laws in reality.

Upon reaching this state, it actually already equates to a Yin Spirit-level technique.

And Zhang Jian completing this process, however, only took less than a few days.

Truly divine speed.

Next is to thereby comprehend the true meaning of Qiankun.

"Mother, Lady Yu, Lady Qu, you look at our manor's flowers and grasses, and the big jujube trees, you all quickly look……"

At this moment within the manor, Zhang Chang'an's exclamation came from beside the small pond; hearing the sound, Jade Medicine and Curled Lotus, who were nearby, hurriedly came over, yet merely a glance caused their expressions to involuntarily stiffen.

But seen before their eyes, within the small pond, cluster upon cluster of verdant lotuses, in a short time actually condensed white-pink flower buds, then in an instant bloomed.

This change had not yet ended.

As if in just a few breaths they completed several cycles of reincarnation, seemingly endlessly cycling this process.

Not only these lotuses, but also the weeds and wildflowers beneath the eaves, even the flowers and grasses within the small flower patch nearby, were all thus.

Only a few peach trees, orange trees, pear trees were somewhat different; although in a short time they similarly sprouted tender leaves, bloomed, bore fruit.

But the fruits had not yet fallen, merely the trees having received one batch after another, as if wanting to fill the fruit tree branches completely.

This instantly formed a kind of wonder.

At the same time, within a short time, these fruit tree trunks also grew thicker by a circle.

From saplings not yet three or four years old, they became trees over ten years old.

Qi Yuhua at this moment drew back the curtain of the side hall; her figure was already quite strained, Jade Medicine and Curled Lotus, seeing this, hurried forward to support her.

Gazing upon this scene, Qi Yuhua also could not help but have her expression moved.

"This truly is a miracle"

Qi Yuhua also counts as well-traveled and knowledgeable, yet had never before seen such a change.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the center, where numerous plants, trees, and even the melons and fruits in the garden bore fruit in succession, yet the large jujube tree at the center of the courtyard seemed somewhat unusual.

Its canopy had merely grown a little longer, appearing to gradually level with the roof of the pavilion of the Zhuangyuan mansion, its shadow spreading widely.

It had also bloomed with a large expanse of white flowers, yet bore no fruit!

Zhang Fu beside him could not help but whisper.

"It seems the lord has mastered some immortal art again?"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly nodded, their eyes growing even more curious.

Zhang Jian at this moment also sensed the anomaly outside.

This is the spiritual feedback from the promotion of the Huangting Blessed Land.

In fact, to a certain extent, everyone now resides within his Huangting Blessed Land, including the plants in the various mansions.

Therefore, the promotion of the Huangting Blessed Land is what has caused these various omens to appear.

And outside the Zhuangyuan mansion, in the other courtyards separated by a wall, not a single trace of any omen has leaked out.

At this moment, deep within Zhang Jian's sea of consciousness, a special rune imprint emitted a mysterious fluctuation.

This is the Huangting Divine Talisman.

The control center of the Huangting Blessed Land.

And as Zhang Jian continuously deduced and condensed this rune imprint, it gradually resonated with a special cosmic force between heaven and earth.

Spatial imprint, or what could be called the Qiankun imprint.

Different names, but essentially the same.

As a special hazy radiance was born within this rune imprint, as if a certain pattern deep within the imprint had condensed into form, it connected with a universal cosmic force present everywhere in the void, and Zhang Jian felt an endless torrent of void surging toward him, as if it were isolating his Yang Spirit consciousness from reality.

This special cosmic force enveloped his entire being, binding the ten directions, making him feel as if he had developed a terrifying sensation like 'stroke,' and in a daze, he lost his sense of direction.

Isolated from reality.

But this change was quickly dispersed by Zhang Jian's substantiated Yang Spirit radiance, yet he did not immediately rush out of the void torrent; instead, he relied on the opportunity presented by the manifestation of this vast spatial Dao law to contemplate the true and false runes within the countless void torrents.

At this moment, in Zhang Jian's sight, within this spatial law resonance, various mysteries of spatial laws also emerged—this is a rare opportunity.

In fact, according to the orthodox cultivation steps of the Huangting Blessed Land Great Law, after the Qiankun imprint takes form, one must gradually expand it into the Huangting imprint, then integrate it into one's Yin Spirit, thereby forming the foundation of the Yuan Spirit.

By proving the Yuan Spirit through this method, one can also transform the Huangting Blessed Land Great Law into one's own Yuan Spirit immortal art.

But Zhang Jian, as usual, merely contemplated the Qiankun imprint and did not yet ascend.

After a moment, a dense divine radiance flowed around him, and in an instant, his Yang Spirit tore through the spatial law resonance-formed void torrent anomaly, clearly locating his physical body's coordinates, and in a flash, he broke through the void obstacles and entered his physical form.

At this moment, Zhang Jian gazed into the void, while beneath his feet lay a vast expanse of countless illusory spatial runes condensed into a blessed land Dharma realm.

This Dharma realm of the blessed land is profoundly mysterious.

Of course, most importantly, through this Dharma, his knowledge of spatial laws has greatly increased, at least having moved beyond a basic level and begun to enter a deeper stage.

The growth of knowledge is what truly pleases Zhang Jian.

Condensing the Qiankun imprint, Zhang Jian sensed deep within his sea of consciousness that the Huangting Divine Talisman condensed in the Huangting Blessed Land emitted a purple-yellow radiance.

Through this talisman, with a single thought he can slightly control some spatial arts, such as spatial barriers, spatial labyrinths, spatial evasion techniques, and other minor arts.

Under this main framework, if he delves deeply, he can uncover even greater potential, and even transform these branches into the main trunk.

"Truly profoundly mysterious!"

Zhang Jian deeply marveled at the mystery of spatial arts.

At the same time, he felt that having grasped part of the mystery of spatial laws, a portion of his evasion techniques seemed to suddenly integrate and connect.

For example, the Golden Crow Evasion Technique—at this moment, it would surely see a great increase in speed, even allowing direct penetration through the void to evade form.

"One law understood, all laws understood!"

It is like suddenly mastering a useful formula for solving problems; applying this formula and this approach to problem-solving can resolve even more difficult questions.

At this moment, gazing upon the surroundings of the blessed land space, his mood was excellent!

Having cultivated the Yin Spirit-level art of the Huangting Blessed Land Great Law, Zhang Jian has successfully completed the cultivation of the Six True Intentions in the Rivers and Mountains State Diagram.

State, stars, yin and yang, five elements, reality and illusion, Qiankun.

Each True Intention is profound and perfectly integrated.

Next, Zhang Jian does not intend to continue deeply contemplating other Great Dao True Intentions.

Instead, he will first break through the fourth calamity of the Yin Spirit to attain the True Intention of the Dao, truly integrating his condensed Yang Spirit imprint with the Rivers and Mountains State Diagram into one.

By integrating the Six True Intentions into the Rivers and Mountains State Diagram, the foundation of the diagram can be thoroughly stabilized!

This step is the definitive selection of the fundamental law.

……

Within the Dongshen Guan.

The National Teacher, Jingming Daoist, was busy throughout the Chuanfa Lou, constantly seeking a method to suppress the backlash of fortune.

But after searching through the entire Chuanfa Lou and browsing through many classics collected in the Dongshen Guan, he also found no concrete examples.

To eliminate simple fortune backlash, there are many methods, but to eliminate dragon vein backlash, there is no precedent.

However, after Jingming Daoist's search and research, he and several elders with broad experience have devised several special approaches; for this, he prepares to seek verification from the Dongshen Sect Ancestor.

He stepped forward to the forbidden ground of Dongshen Guan, using the Dongshen wondrous method, and sent a stream of mana into the Dongshen seal he wore on his person.

Yet he saw his Dongshen seal suddenly fly up from his body, and after a moment, it seemed to have communicated with a vast Yuan Spirit consciousness in the dark beyond, and a virtual apparition of an old Daoist wearing a purple robe, with a ruddy countenance and a Xuantian crown, appeared smiling in midair.

"Good disciple, what matter prompts you to contact your master?"

Upon seeing this apparition, Jingming Daoist's expression became solemn, and he immediately spoke.

"Master, the emperor has encountered misfortune……"

Jingming Daoist, with a stern face yet solemn countenance, recounted one by one the disasters that had befallen Emperor Jingwu Tianzi.

Upon hearing this, the Dongshen Sect Ancestor's expression remained unchanged, his smile still present, and he simply said.

"Disciple, what do you think?"

Jingming Daoist thought for a moment and said: "Disciple remembers the master mentioning that the ancient sage kings all achieved great accomplishment in the way of qi fortune; they were not only supreme in their time but also the most powerful cultivators between heaven and earth, and the treasures they left behind usually had the marvelous effect of enhancing dragon veins or suppressing qi fortune. Disciple thought that if we could find the sage kings' relics, perhaps we could help His Majesty avoid this calamity!"

Upon hearing this, the Dongshen Sect elder in the void nodded affirmatively: "Good disciple, your direction is correct; if we could obtain the ancient sage kings' hidden treasures, it would indeed be possible to suppress the backlash of the former dynasty's dragon qi in the dragon veins and shield His Majesty from this calamity!"

Jingming Daoist, upon hearing this, gave a wry smile: "But the sage kings' treasures are rare; I fear they would be hard to find!"

In fact, it's not just hard to find—these treasures basically exist only in legend.

Even if they do exist, they are held by the various great immortal lineages or demonic sects, or by the sage kings' clans, as their clan's supreme treasures, fundamentally impossible to lend out.

The Dongshen Sect ancestor shook his head at this moment.

"Good disciple, do you really want me to go raid those sage kings' clans for treasures? I don't have that ability!"

Jingming Daoist, upon hearing this, couldn't help but say: "Master, can't we borrow treasures?"

The Dongshen Sect ancestor let out a light hum: "Borrowing treasures is certainly possible, but do you have this face? Or do you have this strength?"

Jingming Daoist lowered his head, muttering: "Isn't the master in possession of such?"

The Dongshen Sect ancestor sneered, gazing at Jingming Daoist and shaking his head: "Good disciple, you've mistaken; the master does not have such prestige!

Even if he did, the master now cannot free himself; distant water cannot quench immediate thirst!"

The Dongshen Sect ancestor is very clear about the strength of such ancient lineages.

At this moment, seeing Jingming Daoist furrow his brow, he immediately shook his head repeatedly.

"Good disciple, let the master show you this clear path!"

"The sage kings' secret treasures are acceptable; the secret arts transmitted through the sage kings' lineage are also acceptable. Among the transmission sects left by the sage kings' lineage, they are especially skilled in qi fortune arts, particularly in dealing with dragon vein backlash or subduing dragon veins!"

"As long as you manage to invite a cultivator from the sage kings' lineage, or someone equally capable of resolving this, if that truly fails, you could give him some benefits—so long as the benefits are sufficient, those experts would likewise be willing to run errands..."

"Sage kings' secret arts?"

Jingming Daoist's thoughts turned, his eyes brightening.

Although the sage kings' lineage is rare, he happens to know a legitimate direct descendant of the sage kings' lineage.

He once heard Zhang Jian mention that the other party is a successor of the Tongshan lineage.

The Tongshan lineage happens to be the ancient sage kings' lineage.

Its founding patriarch was the ancient sage king who attained enlightenment through water control.

If we could obtain his help, perhaps we could resolve the calamity of Emperor Jingwu!
