Chapter 416

Zhang Jian stepped forward and left the Ancestral Temple.

He prepared to find an opportunity to refine this innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed.

Having already tasted the benefits from refining the Zhou Tian Star Soul, even if he could not condense a Yin Yang Dao Body, merely using this opportunity to roam the heavens and earth and comprehend the Dao imprint was not something he could give up.

Moreover, he still possessed a portion of the Yin Yang Immortal Law inheritance in his hand, so mastering the authority of Yin Yang was an opportunity he could not miss.

Deep within the Western Palace, at this moment, a magnificent Tai Xu Law Barrier had appeared around the Western Palace.

This formation was condensed by Zhang Jian following the 'Dream Roaming Tai Xu' Primordial Spirit Immortal Law.

A thousand faces, a thousand forms; anyone who dares to intrude will be confused by it.

At this moment, inside, there stood a precious tree in the Western Palace's flower garden.

It was the Yin Yang Precious Tree picked from the depths of the Evening Moon Cave Heaven.

The Yin Yang Precious Tree is one of the Six Treasures of the Evening Moon Sword Sect, possessing an incredibly miraculous empowering effect; any cultivator with Yin attribute or Profound Ice attribute, beneath the Yin Yang Precious Tree, as if hearing the Dao's rhythm, will progress in cultivation a thousand miles a day.

Furthermore, it possesses the supreme profound mystery of gathering Yin Yang moon essence.

When spiritual roots take root in the earth, it will not be long before they nourish the spiritual veins and give birth.

Zhang Jian prepared to establish a Yin Yang Secret Realm deep in the rear palace based on this, to supply Bai Li Ying and the imperial consorts, princes and princesses for cultivation.

This could also be considered the foundation of the future Zhang clan.

At this moment, as Zhang Jian stepped onto this ground, Bai Li Ying was sitting cross-legged in cultivation beneath the pure and moon-like precious tree.

She wore a silver-white palace robe, her figure dignified and magnificent; at this moment, deep in the heavens, endless Yin Yang moon essence was drawn by the Yin Yang Precious Tree, as if forming vast expanses of frost and snow-like Yin Yang spiritual essence, countless Yin Yang moon essence poured into Bai Li Ying's Lu Men, and a silver-white dragon-like form gradually emerged above her head.

This was her Flood Dragon Destiny Pattern.

On her body surface appeared a vast, barbaric aura, giving her a wildness all around.

Zhang Jian gazed upon this scene and did not disturb her.

Zhang Jian merely laid out a meditation mat in another direction, preparing to use this blessed land to smelt this innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed.

After sitting cross-legged, Zhang Jian made a slight adjustment and then immediately gently unsealed the innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed within his Niwan Palace; he did not directly devour it with the Primordial Spirit of the State and Temple Emperor.

Directly devouring and refining it would inevitably distort his own Dao path.

Instead, he boldly used the 'Yin Yang Refining Form Great Law', a Dao-Union level Primordial Spirit Immortal Law, to swallow it, aided by this Primordial Spirit Immortal Law to comprehend the deep Yin Yang Dao traces within this innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed.

As the Yin Yang Refining Form Great Law devoured this innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed, he clearly felt that the bright moon-like Yin Yang Refining Form Great Law immortal law model suddenly underwent a transformation, a surge of innate Yin Yang indestructible spiritual light flowed into it, and deep in his sea of consciousness, as if a magnificent pure bright moon had been born.

It slowly leapt out from the vast ocean-like Primordial Spirit consciousness, its light penetrating the Primordial Spirit consciousness.

At this moment, Zhang Jian instantly felt himself as if transformed into a ray of Yin Yang light, his form as if traversing antiquity, becoming a thread of pure innate Yin Yang origin Dao Qi.

It floated faintly, suspended between the hazy and desolate void, around it only a patch of intense strange cold; it seemed as if transformed from the ultimate Yin of heaven and earth, the Yin cold piercing to the bone, the Primordial Spirit frozen in ice.

Zhang Jian and this innate Yin Yang origin Dao Qi seemed to resonate with the Primordial Spirit, the Primordial Spirit naturally united with the Dao, as it continuously flowed, undergoing countless temperings by heaven and earth laws, it gradually transformed into a cluster of bright light.

Boom—boom—boom!

After experiencing countless ages of heaven and earth, at a certain moment, heaven and earth suddenly roared, as an invisible wave surged forward, this magnificent Dao Seed suddenly transformed into countless particles scattering between heaven and earth, only a part remained intact, and under the high pressure of heaven and earth, it gradually gained a semblance of indestructible immortality.

If given the opportunity, perhaps after some time, it could give birth to spiritual wisdom and become a life form fleeing this void.

But just at this moment, it was born unexpectedly.

However, see the void suddenly roar, fierce surging waves born from within, accompanied by a vast expanse of void suddenly being annihilated by a terrifying destructive qi machine; thus, the innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed hidden within the vast strange cold void torrent revealed itself.

From the moment it was born, it was locked onto by several terrifying qi machines, all around was a vast scene of great destruction, as if every ray of light could annihilate the heaven and earth great Dao laws.

Unknown how long passed, a magnificent starlight river-like radiance enveloped heaven and earth, shattered all qi machines, overwhelmed myriad paths, in an instant this Dao Seed fell into the depths of that terrifying radiance, onto the palm of that figure.

Zhang Jian also slowly opened his eyes from that magnificent phenomenon; at this moment, in the depths of his eyes, an invisible azure blue light flowed, as if a lovely bright moon born from the void, towering above the Haojing City.

Magnificent omens appeared, as if the heavens had gained another Yin Yang bright moon, the invisible great Dao law spiritual essence drifted out from within, moreover causing the inside and outside of Haojing City during mid-autumn to suddenly have snowflakes drifting down.

Rustling snowflakes, as if a raging torrent sweeping between heaven and earth.

This scene left countless commoners astonished beyond measure.

Fortunately, at this time the crops in the fields had already been completely harvested, otherwise this heavenly descent of heavy snow would likely cause many commoners to suffer heavy losses.

"Heaven displays strange omens, heaven and earth undergo great changes!"

At this time, outside the Western Mountain, there was a moon-like Dao Palace, where a sect was currently being rebuilt.

A tall, graceful figure gazed at the bright moon in the depths of the heavens; within the magnificent bright moon, the Yin Yang Immortal's visage showed astonishment, she felt her Guang Han Primordial Spirit subjected to immense suppression, as if the moon deity authority she controlled was lightly trembling, as if it might be seized at any moment.

It seemed that deep within the imperial palace, a powerful immortal deity wielding Yin Yang authority had been born.

The Yin Yang Immortal's visage was solemn, she speculated in her heart.

This is likely the Great Xia Emperor having cultivated some heaven-piercing, earth-penetrating Yin Yang great divine ability; otherwise, such a terrifying omen would not arise.

Haojing City is indeed the core of the Great Xia Dynasty; besides the Great Xia Emperor, no one could escape the suppression of the heavenly emperor's aura and dragon aura.

In the Cave God Observatory

The Cave God Patriarch and the Pure Bright Daoist, master and disciple, were sitting opposite each other, exchanging Primordial Spirit Dao laws, sensing the birth of boundless omens in the depths of the void, they both walked out from the Daoist observatory.

The two gazed at the heavens, their expressions solemn.

"I never expected Your Majesty to still be so proficient in the Yin Yang Law; such Yin Yang authority, even if that old monster of the Yin Yang Demon Palace came, it would be no more than this!"

The Cave God Patriarch's heart and spirit trembled, astonishment in his eyes.

Having once served as the National Preceptor of the Great Qian State, he was also accustomed to dealing with the deities of the State and Temple Dao.

But he had never seen any deity, or cultivator, possessing such Yin Yang authority.

In the void, the bright moon omen, after rising to mid-heaven, then gradually dissipated.

Beneath the Yin Yang Precious Tree, Bai Li Ying had long since stopped her cultivation, she gazed in shock at Zhang Jian before her; at this moment, Zhang Jian's body manifested the Yin Yang bright moon omen, as if a lovely secluded moon descended into the world.

Incomparably magnificent, nearly the manifestation of the Yin Yang Great Dao laws.

Even merely glancing up, she felt her soul, magic power, and Dao heart frozen by the secluded moon, moonlight flowing, as if it might be refined at any moment.

This was an abnormally terrifying feeling.

Yet from within, she also felt a magnificent Dao law rhythm; it seemed that by slightly comprehending it, a part of the Profound Ice techniques she controlled secretly gave rise to an invisible change.

At this moment, Zhang Jian opened his eyes, and at this instant he seemed to have returned to the human world.

The chill that was nearly as ancient as the Heavenly Dao itself gradually dissipated from his entire body.

"Your Majesty!"

Bai Liying's gentle call echoed in his ears, and Zhang Jian nodded slightly toward her.

"Do not worry, I have merely made a slight breakthrough!"

After comforting Bai Liying with a few words, Zhang Jian then turned his attention inward.

He noticed that his own State and Sovereign Emperor primordial spirit had clearly increased.

His nine-zhang primordial spirit was clear and pure throughout like the bright moon, and his entire being possessed an additional layer of utterly pure and exquisite divine rhythm, resembling a transparent crystal diamond.

Not only was there a qualitative change, but the area his primordial spirit's awareness could cover, as well as his reaction speed, and even his primordial spirit Dao-heart, had all undergone transformation.

"Increased by at least two to three times!"

Zhang Jian silently mused in his heart, feeling a sense of awe; this was merely the benefit he gained from simply integrating the innate Yin-Yang law Dao-seed into the structure of his technique. If he were willing to walk the Yin-Yang immortal path, he feared he would instantly achieve the innate Yin-Yang immortal body and smoothly ascend to immortality.

But that was not his Dao path.

If what he sought was merely simple ascension to immortality, he had already had several opportunities before.

Moreover, Zhang Jian clearly felt that he had grasped the authority of the Yin-Yang law, and his grasp was not shallow.

For this reason, a full moon had appeared deep within his sea of consciousness.

This was formed by the mutation of the Yin-Yang refining form method.

After this primordial spirit immortal method devoured the innate Yin-Yang law Dao-seed, it acquired a special transformation, as if it had become a crescent moon.

Zhang Jian clearly felt that, through this technique's structure, once released, it would surely produce a heaven-shaking, earth-moving power.

It might even surpass second-rank Yin-Yang immortal methods.

It would be stronger than the second-rank immortal method he had previously displayed, the Ten Directions Yin-Yang Freezing Immortal Method, and the Yin-Yang Ice Soul Divine Light.

However, the grand Dao law's artistic conception it circulated was not like that of an ordinary immortal method.

This is very strange!

It seems to have acquired the quality of indestructibility and imperishability!

It possesses a power that cannot be erased!

Zhang Jian silently mused in his heart.

At that time, he merely recalled refining several other spiritual objects, just as the Nine-Colored息壤 surged and the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram was refined, so he chose to use the Yin-Yang Refining Form Great Method to contain it, never expecting to produce this strange transformation.

"But now it looks like a good thing; it is like a natal spiritual treasure, not only able to naturally pre-produce activation, but also seemingly able to defend the primordial spirit and assist in its cultivation!"

After becoming somewhat familiar with it, Zhang Jian no longer dwelled on it too much.

He simply continued to sit cross-legged beneath the Yin-Yang treasure tree.

With the aid of the innate Yin-Yang law Dao-seed this time, he in one fell swoop comprehended the profound mysteries of the origin of the innate Yin-Yang great Dao law, and successfully mastered the Yin-Yang law. Naturally, he must now properly digest it, integrating it with his entire body of Yin-Yang immortal methods.

Three years later

Beneath the Yin-Yang treasure tree, a grand immortal Dao divine rhythm suddenly burst forth from within, mighty pressure flowing and turning, like a raging torrent sweeping over this newly formed secret realm.

Countless Yin-Yang spiritual opportunities rose and fell in succession, like a flood.

At the center of the spiritual opportunities, Zhang Jian's entire body flowed with a trace of immortal Dao law divine rhythm.

Zhang Jian rose to his full height, feeling the birth of a trace of immortal Dao law rhythm within his natal primordial spirit immortal method, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Success!"

The greatest gain over these three years was probably this trace of immortal Dao law rhythm.

Condensing a trace of immortal Dao law is the beginning of transformation!

This trace of immortal Dao law itself is the sublimation of his own natal immortal method, and is the embryonic form of his future Dao career.

After sublimating this trace of immortal Dao law, Zhang Jian felt that his State and Sovereign Emperor primordial spirit had been touched by the immortal Dao law, beginning to transform.

However, this trace of immortal Dao law is too scarce; to let his State and Sovereign Emperor primordial spirit undergo complete transformation, he still lacks sufficient time.

He will next need to continue seeking ways to perfect this trace of immortal Dao law!

Zhang Jian heard that some mighty primordial spirit true monarchs, after accumulating and perfecting, will manifest this trace of immortal Dao law as various omens, or transform it into a great Dao pearl, or into various Dao career omens.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his eyes; next, he only needs to continue letting the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram undergo transformation, and sooner or later he will be able to increase this quantity.

With this trace of immortal Dao law rhythm, the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram can also be considered a first-rank immortal method.

However, during these three years, he did not merely condense a trace of immortal Dao law rhythm in the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram; he also successively cultivated several second-rank Yin-Yang attribute immortal methods.

Thanks to that innate Yin-Yang law Dao-seed, he successively cultivated the second-rank immortal methods Ten Directions Yin-Yang Freezing Realm Immortal Method, Yin-Yang Ice Soul Divine Light, Moon Holy Lotus, and Yin-Yang Rainbow Light Great Method.

Moreover, the third-rank immortal method, the Instant Freeze Yuan Great Method, he has cultivated to the level of a first-rank immortal method.

It can be said that his strength has greatly increased.

The latent benefits brought by that innate Yin-Yang law Dao-seed far exceed his imagination.

And it continues to exert its effect.

After slightly integrating his own Dao and law, Zhang Jian is now prepared to leave seclusion, for he has not forgotten the Sea King祭 to be held one year later at Qingping Sea.

Zhang Jian summoned a portion of the Great Xia Dynasty's guarding true immortals into the court, and then made arrangements and deployments.

With the Ancestor of the Cavern Spirit Teaching and the Yin-Yang Immortal Maiden guarding the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhang Jian no longer worries about accidents during his distant journey.

Especially the Ancestor of the Cavern Spirit Teaching; after his Dao cultivation returns to its peak period, possessing the Great Xia Dynasty's imperial aura and dragon aura support, even a true immortal arriving could be dealt with effortlessly.

The Yin-Yang Immortal Maiden wields the second-rank immortal treasure, the Evening Moon Treasure Sword, and the second-rank defensive immortal treasure, the Broad Cold Immortal Palace, and can also independently govern a region.

As for the court, Zhang Jian left behind a phantom body as a cover, and secretly instructed Zhang Zhao to cooperate with the court cabinet, so there will be no problems.

Now the Great Xia Dynasty is undergoing a quiet development, strengthening national strength, and resting and recuperating; Zhang Jian temporarily does not worry.

……

After all preparations were complete, Zhang Jian again sent a message to the Slaying Demon True Monarch, requesting the Slaying Demon True Monarch and the Iron-Hearted Daoist to secretly watch over the Great Xia Dynasty for a period of time, after which Zhang Jian prepared to set out.

However, what was unexpected to Zhang Jian was that, before setting out, he unexpectedly received a message from the sect.

Before the imperial city, Zhang Jian was accompanied only by his wife, Bai Liying, this time.

The two planned to enter the Two Realms region via the canal's water veins, then proceed from the Two Realms region into the Qingping Sea.

On the dock, countless laborers pulling ropes were shouting, exerting all their strength to chisel open the ice surface.

At that moment, a streak of flowing light descended from the void and instantly landed in Zhang Jian's hand.

Gazing at this message, Zhang Jian was somewhat speechless.

Seeing Zhang Jian's expression, Bai Liying couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Jian laughed: "This isn't our sect master elder brother; upon learning that I intended to go to the Qingping Sea, he simply found me something to do on the way!"
