Chapter 328

There are nine kinds of primordial spirit-level immortal arts, among which the core is the Six Forms King Cauldron, followed by the Five Dragons True Scripture, the Golden Crow Splitting Transformation Great Art, the Yin Yang Refinement of Form Art, Dreaming Through the Grand Void, the Yellow Court Blessed Land Great Art, the Chaotic Stars Sword Decree, the Pure Soul Azure Lotus Dharma Mantra, and the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Time Wheel Art.

In fact, there is also an innate divine ability, the Golden Lotus Hidden Breath Method!

As for the authorities involved, they are even more numerous; besides the state, the Five Phases, Yin and Yang, Void and Substance, Qian and Kun, time, and stars, these also include life and death, reincarnation, the earth, blessings, primordial magnetism, sage virtue, and so on.

Only eight of the nine primordial spirit immortal arts mentioned earlier form the main trunk that created the context of the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram; the rest, such as the casually comprehended Minor Thousand Heavens Reincarnation Method, the Great Five Phases Annihilation Primordial Magnetism Divine Light, the Minor Thousand Heavens Blessings Severing Calamity Method, and the Nine Heavens Riding Wind Controlling Thunder Art, are currently just branches.

After integrating these nine primordial spirit immortal arts, Zhang Jian pondered.

Among the nine immortal arts, eight form the main trunk.

Nine is the ultimate.

Zhang Jian felt he could fully integrate the Minor Thousand Heavens Reincarnation Method from the Beichen Relics into the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram.

Thus gathering the nine primordial spirit immortal arts might help him further integrate the State and Emperor Lord authority.

For this purpose, he specially made another trip to the Beichen Pass Relics to specifically study the Minor Thousand Heavens Reincarnation Method prohibition.

This prohibition is vast and profound, indeed a true creation-level immortal art; after Zhang Jian comprehended it to the primordial spirit stage, he temporarily stopped.

Two days later, Zhang Jian left the Beichen Pass Relics.

But upon returning to Hao Jing City, Zhang Jian saw in the northern depths a dense crimson-gold light shooting straight into the clouds, blood-light like rosy clouds, dyeing the horizon red.

In the dense blood-light, he seemed to hear the mournful cry of a magnificent dragon vein, the golden dragon stained with blood, the dragon soul flying out, countless dragon qi dispersing, coming from all directions.

How familiar this scene was!

"The Northern Chu Dragon Vein is broken!"

This thought flashed through Zhang Jian's mind.

Was not the breaking of the Great Qian Dragon Vein at the beginning just like this? The dragon soul flew out, blood stained the azure heavens, and furthermore countless dragon qi scattered and fled, rushing into the mundane world, creating numerous outstanding people.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's thought moved, and he activated the Yang Spirit magic power to stimulate the Supreme Azure Fire Pearl within the Life Palace.

Immediately, a red light appeared in the depths of the azure heavens, and behold, the portion of the dragon qi fleeing to the north suddenly surged toward him.

In Fengyang Commandery, beneath Mount Zhu Feng, the Zhang family dragon vein also became unusually active; the crimson dragon soul trembled slightly, drawing in a stream of dragon qi that entered the dragon vein, this stream of dragon qi occupying at least one-fifth of the dragon vein's share.

Exceptionally magnificent.

With this great influx of dragon qi, the crimson dragon soul was almost completely nurtured into form.

In this vast region, the two orthodox dragon veins that were broken, as the third formed dragon vein with a master, it obtained great benefits.

There may still be other dragon veins between heaven and earth, but at this moment the Zhang family dragon vein is gathering strength, already gradually showing the tendency of a flying dragon in the heavens.

And in the void, Zhang Jian also felt a stream of dragon qi merging into his own life pattern, merging into that Hidden Dragon Life Pattern Dragon Chapter Phoenix Posture, which had already reached a critical point; the Dragon Chapter Phoenix Posture life pattern trembled slightly, the life image condensed and emerged, forming the crimson dragon and golden phoenix shining in mutual reflection.

The life pattern brilliance shone forth extraordinarily.

The crimson dragon and golden phoenix intertwined, as if Yin and Yang united, a point of pure purple light bursting forth from the depths of the life pattern.

"Is the fourth Son of Heaven life pattern about to be nurtured into form?"

Zhang Jian sensed this scene, his eyes slightly brightening; as he thought, another stream of dragon qi flowed out from the Supreme Azure Fire Pearl and merged into the Dragon Phoenix Golden Cocoon, enhancing its foundation.

"Is it the manifestation of heaven and sun, or rather the Emperor Purple Life Pattern?!"

Regarding this life pattern about to ascend to the Son of Heaven, Zhang Jian secretly harbored a guess in his heart.

The direction of ascent for the Dragon Chapter Phoenix Posture life pattern is mainly these two.

The next moment, Zhang Jian already saw the result: behold, a red sun seemed to be embraced and pushed out by the intertwined dragon and phoenix, light of myriad zhang, the dragon and phoenix light surging into Zhang Jian's entire body through all his apertures, as if he released everywhere a noble and supreme aura.

That is the Son of Heaven life pattern, the manifestation of heaven and sun!

This manifestation of the life pattern, the dragon and phoenix qi winding and surging into the State and Emperor Lord seal, caused this purple seal in the depths of Zhang Jian's sea of consciousness to shine brightly, purple light winding around the Yang Spirit, merging with the Yang Spirit; Zhang Jian felt himself truly united with the law, the Yang Spirit consciousness activated, and thus a magnificent power surged forth, carrying the profound mysteries of heaven and earth law.

He truly began to wield the laws of heaven and earth.

The substantiated Yang Spirit vaguely showed growth.

"The primordial spirit is within reach!"

Zhang Jian's heart gave rise to this thought sincerely; his vast Yang Spirit consciousness could even clearly sense in the depths of the Nine Underworlds' Earth Prison, that thread of reincarnation trace stored in the 'Book of Life and Death'.

As if he could at any moment break free from the bonds of the 'Book of Life and Death'.

It is time to pass the Fifth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit.

Zhang Jian's heart gave rise to this thought.

This is his truly sensing that opportunity has arrived.

This time, upon sensing that his various states had all reached perfection and peak, he did not hesitate again; after exchanging a few words with Qi Yuhua and her son, Zhang Jian entered the ancestral temple, fully opened the Blessed Land prohibition, the Yang Spirit escaped the ancestral temple, and directly entered the Fifth Gate Xuan Guan City in the illusory realm.

……

Illusory realm, Xuan Guan City.

This is the last divine city among the five cities.

This is a special divine city, filled with extinction and deathly stillness; the surroundings are covered with countless dense black patterns; upon close inspection, they are actually countless runes condensed together.

These black runes and the blue azure heavens form an ancient city of black and white interwoven.

After Zhang Jian entered, he felt a heavy presence of life and death, reincarnation phenomena.

He felt he stood upon the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk; around him were six terrifying forked paths, within which surged furious winds and yin fire, and all kinds of demon tribulations and calamities.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian's vast Yang Spirit consciousness slightly probed a bit, already having a clear idea; he then slowly sat cross-legged, beginning the final step.

If one wishes to assault the Fifth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit, naturally one must elevate one's innate technique to the primordial spirit level to thus draw upon the life and death reincarnation tribulation, thereby canceling the death registry, reclaiming all imprints in the 'Book of Life and Death', severing life and death, completely perfecting one's primordial spirit, thus transcending life and death reincarnation, attaining the Dao and longevity.

Zhang Jian has at this point already deduced the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram art to Yin Spirit Great Perfection; the State and Emperor Lord seal was formed early; he only needs to pass the heaven and earth backlash, then he can ascend to primordial spirit-level immortal arts.

The only problem is, the essence of this art is matrix-conforming; once the heaven and earth backlash is triggered, there must be multiple backlashes arriving simultaneously; again merging with the life and death reincarnation tribulation, it will make the tribulation number extraordinarily terrifying.

At this time Zhang Jian also had made preparations; after verifying dozens of times, he directly adjusted part of the structure of the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram; instantly he saw winds rise and clouds surge above the city, countless ripples stirred up a raging torrent, enveloping his substantiated Yang Spirit within.

……

At this moment in the Northern Chu borderlands, inside a Golden Mother Sect outpost.

The Golden Light Holy Mother and Holy Lady Liu Xin sat facing each other.

Liu Xin had already achieved a perfected Dao-heart at this time, and her magical power had reached its peak.

The Golden Light Holy Mother gazed at her beloved disciple before her, nodding slightly, as the Jingwu Heavenly Emperor passed away, having exterminated part of the Qianhuang bloodline, Liu Xin finally let go of her obsession completely.

The future was bright ahead.

She still gave her instructions, admonishing.

"Xin'er, the cycle of rebirth and the tribulation of life and death are ever-changing and unpredictable; whether you can overcome this tribulation ultimately depends on your own foundation, the state of your Dao-heart—this tribulation requires heavenly aid, but also self-effort!"

Liu Xin nodded, her expression calm, yet her entire body flowed with a strong current of confidence as she said: "Master, rest assured, your disciple will surely overcome this tribulation and achieve the Yuanshen!"
