Chapter 329: Cancelling the Death Registry, Ascending in a Single Step

Xuan Guan City

The roaring, thunderous sounds intertwined, as if heaven and earth were collapsing, myriad laws of light descending, striking upon a solidified Yang Spirit.

Yet the solidified Yang Spirit burst forth with pure yang golden light, a layer of diamond-like solidified golden radiance flowing around its body; no matter how the laws of light struck, it was like blades chopping a golden man, light bursting forth, yet always unable to pierce the outer layer of pure yang golden light of the Yang Spirit.

Layer upon layer of heavenly and earthly laws resonated.

State, Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Life and Death, Reincarnation, Qian-Kun, Void and Substance, Time, Stars, Yuan Magnetism, Sage Virtue, Earth…… Zhang Jian truly did not expect so many heavenly and earthly laws to resonate simultaneously.

This layer upon layer of heavenly and earthly resonance was like countless tides linking the Yang Spirit, beginning to impact his own Yang Spirit.

If slightly weaker, the Yang Spirit would directly collapse within these dozen or so layers of heavenly and earthly resonance.

Even now, with the Yang Spirit solidified, Zhang Jian still felt a hint of difficulty.

This difficulty was not because the solidified Yang Spirit could not withstand it; the solidified Yang Spirit remained like a reef, immovable.

Yet deep within Zhang Jian's Dao heart, he gradually felt a hint of vexation.

This layer upon layer of heavenly and earthly laws resonance was, for him, merely a great disturbance.

And to readjust the structure of the Mountains Rivers State Diagram technique from these disturbances, to fully fuse the State Sovereign's imprint, required great resolve.

Merely suppressing the thought of using the Righteous Fire, in his Yang Spirit's side, where techniques flowed like a galaxy, a Dao heart-type technique naturally triggered.

The "Supreme Forgetting Emotion Method" descended, letting his Dao heart resemble the ancient heavenly Dao, gradually resisting the disturbances of the layered heavenly and earthly laws' backlash.

In merely ten breaths, a grand aura suddenly appeared around him, as if mountains, rivers, sun and moon, Qian-Kun heaven and earth, myriad beings flowing in void, instantly forming a grand Dao diagram, then draping over Zhang Jian's Yang Spirit, gradually merging with it, he became a figure whose body flowed with intense imperial aura, the State Sovereign.

As if an ancient emperor emerged from illusion into reality, myriad heavenly and earthly laws, following the State Sovereign's imprint, fully merged into Zhang Jian's Yang Spirit's depths, subtly trembling.

With the complete fusion of the State Sovereign's imprint, Zhang Jian finally felt the disappearance of an intangible barrier between himself and the heavenly and earthly laws.

No longer needing to pass through the Mountains Rivers State Diagram to act as a third party controlling heavenly and earthly authority, but truly sensing his connection with the heavenly and earthly laws, like moving limbs with fingers.

Though only an initial use, Zhang Jian could not help but feel a hint of joy rising from the depths of his Dao heart.

This is the transformation from the mundane to the divine!

But this ripple quickly calmed; Zhang Jian gazed into the void, having merged the State Sovereign's imprint, gained the State Sovereign's authority—this was merely the first step; another step remained: to completely erase the death registry and attain longevity.

He soon sensed the arrival of the opportunity.

After merging the State Sovereign's imprint, Zhang Jian clearly sensed his Yang Spirit stained with a special law's radiance, its core flowing with intense profundity of the heavenly and earthly Great Dao, magical power began to grow, this also representing his lifespan beginning to increase endlessly.

And the breakthrough in lifespan immediately stirred the tremor of the life and death laws in the dark.

Boom—!

Suddenly, from the depths of the azure sky, countless black and white mysterious lights flowed, a grand wheel of fate suddenly projected from the void within the life and death laws.

In that instant, Zhang Jian only felt his Yang Spirit's divine sense sink into a realm of purity, deathly stillness, as if fallen into a mire.

As if anchored by a colossal being, his Yang Spirit continuously sank, as if about to fall into the Avici Hell, countless evil winds and dark fires coming from the void.

Besides this, there was an inexplicable murky yellow light; this layer of murky yellow light drifted over, causing the golden light around his solidified Yang Spirit to be stained with a yellow haze, now rotting and falling.

Yellow Spring Poison!

Zhang Jian felt this change, his face slightly sinking.

This change was not unexpected.

Every Yin Spirit Perfected One facing the fifth calamity when passing the Yin Spirit tribulation will face the Reincarnation Life and Death Tribulation, the manifestations of which are diverse.

Yellow Spring Poison is one of the more common kinds.

Once Yellow Spring Poison contaminates, like a bone-deep ulcer corroding the Yin Spirit, obscuring the six senses and spiritual awareness.

At this critical juncture of reclaiming his own 'Reincarnation Mark', if the six senses and spiritual awareness are obscured, divine sense cannot function, then it would be disastrous; his Yin Spirit would likely be eroded by the life and death laws in reverse, remaining in the Nine Underworlds' netherworld.

At this moment, deep within Zhang Jian's Yang Spirit, threads of fortune light flowed, yet purple light emerged, forming purple flowers blocking the Yellow Spring poison; visible to the naked eye, one after another peculiar purple flower buds withered, fortune light dimmed, but soon regrew, showing a trend of endless renewal.

Zhang Jian had accumulated boundless fortune, saved countless beings; this merit, fortune, was indeed abundant.

Vast purple flower buds accompanied by waves of heavenly merit sounds, not only blocking the Yellow Spring Poison, but also blocking an ancient bridge emerging in the void, and many Asura phantoms casting soul-hooking magic.

"Found it!"

Following the connection of the life and death laws, Zhang Jian's Yang Spirit divine sense once again 'saw' a black-white book of flowing life and death radiance.

This was not Zhang Jian's first time seeing this 'Great Tome'; the last time was when retrieving soul fragments, perfecting the Yin Spirit; this time was to completely erase the death registry, break free from this 'Great Tome's' restraints, break the lifespan bottleneck, and attain the Dao and longevity.

Zhang Jian's Yang Spirit divine sense surged into it; in an instant, it seemed he saw countless life and death runes forming a law prohibition, profound and mysterious, as if the heavenly and earthly Great Dao's rules suppressing; even a slight touch, even Zhang Jian felt his heart startled and spirit shaken, yet he did not provoke these heavenly and earthly rules, merely following the sensation, seeking out traces.

These were his own 'death registry' left in the 'Life and Death Register', and also the 'thread of life' given to him by the heavenly and earthly laws.

If he fell, he could still, through this reincarnation mark, re-enter reincarnation in the Nine Underworlds' netherworld.

But if erased…… he could still enter the Nine Underworlds' reincarnation, though merely beginning anew.

The method of 'registry' is special: that is, filling a portion of Yang Spirit magical power into it, returning a portion of heavenly and earthly origin, thus able to return to a free body.

Actually, there is another method: forcibly erasing the 'reincarnation mark' with great magical power, severing life and death, obtaining a pure Nascent Spirit.

Zhang Jian directly chose the first method; although the first method would lose some magical power, for Zhang Jian, who possesses many heavenly treasures and earthly riches, often able to 'shear wool' from the ancestral shrine, it posed no problem.

Though the second method could retain more origin, it would inevitably incur guilt from heaven and earth, affecting his own fortune.

In Zhang Jian's thoughts, he saw strands of golden light following his pointed finger, gradually sinking into those traces; only to see that true name vanish visibly in the 'Life and Death Register'.

Immediately afterward, between heaven and earth, it seemed a faint celestial sound echoed, purple-gold light pierced the dark azure sky, radiance filling the Nine Underworlds' netherworld, moreover seeing boundless vast golden light filling, merit light flowing like an ocean; this scene, even if a portion of the ghost emperors in the Nine Underworlds' netherworld, immortals and great beings, could not help but turn their gaze, only seeing a purple-gold light shadow transcending and departing in the boundless merit ocean.

This scene caused many of the guarding immortals and gods in the Nine Underworlds to be greatly astonished.

……

Xuan Guan City, Liu Xin at this moment stood upon a special black-and-white altar, having received guidance from the Golden Light Holy Mother, she found within the divine city an excellent place to undergo tribulation.

After passing through the heavenly and earthly laws' backlash this trial, her Yin Spirit was already quite fatigued, yet she still had to strive to support, to break through the Life and Death Reincarnation Tribulation, from the entanglement of life and death, to reclaim her own reincarnation mark.

At this moment, the six paths of reincarnation wheel condensed from the Life and Death Reincarnation Tribulation had already appeared above her head; merely, what astonished her was that in that instant, the entire Xuan Guan City suddenly trembled, a vast ocean-like purple-gold light radiance permeated the divine city up and down, like an ocean, mighty and vast, divine power mighty and profound.

This change also caused her Dao heart to violently flicker.

Is this a great immortal or god descending upon Xuan Guan City?
