Chapter 283

Jingming Daoist personally prepared a generous gift and went to the Zhuangyuan mansion.

But when he arrived at the Zhuangyuan mansion with great joy, he learned from Qi Yuhua that Zhang Jian was currently in seclusion for cultivation.

This news left Jingming Daoist somewhat numb.

Zhang Jian neither closes his seclusion early nor late, but chooses this moment to enter seclusion.

When he emerges, who knows how long it will take—will the malignant sore on Emperor Jingwu's body hold up until then without worsening?

Although Jingming Daoist is anxious, he truly has no alternative.

Before entering seclusion, Zhang Jian set up a barrier around the ancestral shrine, which will not be opened unless absolutely necessary.

……

Xu Realm, Zhenjing City.

Among the Five Cities of Xu Realm, Zhenjing corresponds to the fourth calamity of the Yin God Five Tribulations, the attainment of true intent.

After successfully cultivating the Sixth Path of Qiankun True Intent, Zhang Jian chose to directly enter Zhenjing City to undergo the fourth calamity of the Yin God.

Upon realizing that condensing the Six Paths True Intent might be the limit of what he could bear, Zhang Jian decisively abandoned further accumulation and instead chose to undergo the tribulation directly.

In this, he was extremely decisive.

The Dao of the State and Altar is inherently extraordinary, with severe backlash; moreover, he rashly added five other Great Dao True Intents, which would additionally incur fivefold backlash from heavenly and earthly laws.

The superimposed power is far from being as simple as one plus one.

Few Yin God venerables would act as he does.

Usually, Yin God venerables carefully select a suitable Yin God technique as their foundation, waiting until after the fourth calamity of the Yin God to add more Great Dao True Intents, thereby perfecting this primordial immortal method, which can avoid most of the power of the fourth calamity of the Yin God.

Although doing so may sacrifice some directions.

But for most cultivators, these 'sacrifices' are acceptable; after passing the fourth calamity of the Yin God, they can gradually supplement from other aspects.

Zhang Jian, however, does not care; in his view, these foundations are advantages.

Since conditions permit, why not grasp these advantages in hand, waiting until after the fourth calamity of the Yin God, when he will further elevate his foundation to lay a solid groundwork for achieving the primordial spirit of the State and Altar Emperor?

At this moment, just as he anticipated, as he actively integrated the Heavenly Heart Seal into the Mountains, Rivers, and State and Altar Diagram, this triggered the Heavenly Great Tribulation, which surged like a flood and nearly submerged his Zhenjing City.

At this moment, the Mountains, Rivers, and State and Altar Diagram resembled a stream of light striking his Yang Spirit true form.

Boom—boom—boom!

In the city, it seemed as if the boundless Heaven and Earth Great Dao roared; Zhang Jian felt that as the Mountains, Rivers, and State and Altar Diagram merged into the depths of his Yang Spirit, the boundless heavenly and earthly laws resembled several torrents submerging his Yang Spirit consciousness.

A layer of solidified Yang Spirit light flowed across his entire body, blocking that magnificent force, which nearly turned heaven and earth into chaos.

The solidified Yang Spirit allowed him to stand firm in the void like a reef.

At this moment, he knew he must, within this tribulation, transform his Heavenly Heart Seal into the Seal of the State and Altar Emperor.

This step, Zhang Jian had already deduced countless times; with a thought, it was accomplished in an instant.

Only see the State and Altar seal within the Mountains, Rivers, and State and Altar Diagram gradually fly out, merge into the depths of his Yang Spirit, and fuse with the Dingzhen Shanhe Mingge, forming a special rune seal within the Life Palace.

It takes the State and Altar seal as its blueprint, but is vastly more complex, as if countless myriad dragon energies intertwine, condensed by State and Altar True Intent into form, possessing a layer of divine power that suppresses heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and commands all laws of heaven and earth.

It is almost born in defiance of heavenly and earthly laws.

As it appears, the surrounding Zhenjing realm, which resembled collapsing heaven and earth turning void into chaos, that magnificent light trembled slightly.

The myriad collapsing voids, the intertwined yin-yang and five elements manifesting as chaotic light, seemed to be split by a divine light; a magnificent, vast divine diagram emerged from around Zhang Jian's body.

Through the State and Altar Emperor seal formed within the Life Palace, Zhang Jian felt a layer of immense divine power.

"Yin Yang Refines Form!"

He casually reached into the void, as if giving birth to a terrifying red and blue fireball; within them, the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit cried out incessantly, instantly merging into one, transforming into a black and white meteor, intertwining and chasing each other; wherever they passed, countless chaotic lights shattered, differentiating into simple yin-yang and five elements.

The qi of the five elements circulated.

As Zhang Jian focused his thoughts, the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit vanished; instantly, five magnificent dragon shadows burst forth from the darkness, the five-colored true dragons flowing forth, soaring through the void; in an instant, the five-colored light filling the void was completely absorbed, transforming instead into boundless mountains and lands, sacred peaks and seas, rivers and mountains, seeming real and illusory.

With a raise of his hand, this boundless mountain and land, the divine peaks and seas, instantly turned into a nine-colored Dao diagram falling into his hand; at this moment, his entire body seemed to be permeated with a layer of intense, majestic aura.

As if supreme and noble, as if he were the master of heaven and earth, possessing imperial, sovereign, and other divine powers, able to control heavenly and earthly laws with a single thought.

Having established the State and Altar Emperor seal, he preliminarily possessed this special heavenly and earthly authority.

The power of the State and Altar lies in governance.

Zhang Jian analyzed this essence, which is similar to the imperial authority recorded in ancient scriptures.

Holding the heavenly mandate in his mouth, golden words and jade speech.

However, this power requires heavenly and earthly support, needing to draw upon heavenly and earthly strength.

Currently, he does not command a dynasty in his hand, so he cannot fully unleash the authority power of the State and Altar Emperor seal.

But relying solely on his own ability, he will in the future be able to stand supreme among Yin God true persons.

"What comes next is, before the Reincarnation Life and Death Tribulation, to perfect the State and Altar Emperor seal and transform the various radiating Great Dao True Intents into authority control!"

"Only then can he truly turn the false into the real and achieve the State and Altar Emperor!"

These thoughts flashed through Zhang Jian's mind.

This is the main difference between the Yin God venerable of the fourth calamity and the Yin God venerable of the third calamity.

Already able to preliminarily control heavenly and earthly authority, transforming authority into divine power.

This can also be called law arts.

As he suppressed the backlash of the attainment true intent within Zhenjing City in a short time, boundless magnificent purple aura arose in this place.

Boom—boom—boom!

Moreover, countless red dragon energies burst forth from his head, within the red glow, purple light faintly transformed into a torrent rushing straight into the depths of the firmament.

The red glow and purple light erupted, instantly shooting straight into the purple great star at the center of the firmament; vast starlight manifested, yet the purple great star on the firmament trembled as if about to fall under the starlight impact; it seemed as if countless falling stars were born on the firmament, transforming into meteors falling to the earth.

At this moment, before the Observatory Platform, Jingming Daoist was filled with worry; suddenly gazing at the celestial appearance above, his expression changed as he saw the red-purple glow rushing straight into the Purple Micro; his face shifted slightly, he calculated with his fingers, and after a moment, his face turned to shock.

"Yinghuo Guards the Heart!"

The scene before his eyes was clearly an ominous sign since ancient times.

His face was grim, and he muttered under his breath:

"When Mars invades the Heart, war cannot be won; first, the ruler perishes. When fire invades the Heart, the Son of Heaven and kings shall have no heirs!

If the color is unclear, there will be mourning. When fire guards the Heart, high officials easily change dynasties, and the ruler abandons his palace!

"

"When the people starve and die, the realm weeps, and all under heaven collapses in great ruin……"

This is an omen of great calamity!
