Chapter 460: Terrifying Divinity (4K)

Zhang Jian closed his eyes. At this moment, his entire body was enveloped in a special heavenly and earthly Dao rhythm.

This was the law of the State and the Great Dao.

Himself, as if transformed from the vast State and Great Dao law.

Zhang Jian had never felt himself so in harmony with a heavenly and earthly Great Dao law.

With a thought, the Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram even achieved instant manifestation.

As for the many States and the earthly heavenly mysteries related to the land, he seemed to know them innately.

At this moment, Zhang Jian recalled the 'light path' born of spirituality when he had 'observed' the Dao traces while contemplating the heavenly and earthly Great Dao.

His state was remarkably similar to those heavenly and earthly demons, or perhaps the primordial gods.

Likewise, being primordially close to the Dao, he was born wielding immense divine authority.

"Besides this, in the future, it seems that cultivation of the State and Great Dao law, earth-attribute immortal arts, will proceed extremely swiftly!"

Zhang Jian carefully contemplated all these changes.

Finally, he made a summary.

Besides having infinite lifespan, the essence of primordial gods was that their aptitude leapt to a transcendent and extraordinary state.

As to how strong this state was, Zhang Jian had no clear comparison.

After all, the most talented existence he had ever seen was himself...

Only, the constitution of primordial gods was certainly stronger than his previous congenital Dao fetus body.

Possessing a primordial divine body, an undying Dao body, his primordial divine body also possessed the characteristic of indestructibility.

Even if blown to pieces by someone, he could be reborn within the heavenly and earthly Great Dao law.

He and the State and Great Dao law between heaven and earth were as one.

Even if his soul and spirit were blown apart and his spiritual imprint utterly shattered, he could still be nurtured and reborn within the heavenly and earthly Great Dao law.

It seemed his immortality was rooted deep in fate.

However, this immortality and rebirth were not of an unkillable nature.

Zhang Jian had also seen, within that heavenly and earthly Great Dao imprint, the spirituality in the 'light path' disappearing in battle.

But he could be certain that currently, even true immortals could not achieve this extent.

Not even third-rank immortal arts could erase the essence of a primordial god; necessarily, higher-rank immortals or gods would be needed to deal with such primordial gods.

Of course, primordial gods are not stagnant; as his cultivation gradually grows, this fundamental power of immortality and indestructibility will continue to grow.

Besides his physique, his soul, comprehension, luck, fortune, and even Dao foundation are undergoing a great transformation.

Specific data, Zhang Jian, lacking sufficient reference, cannot quantify.

Zhang Jian felt this essence must surely surpass that of true immortal-level powerhouses.

He had also encountered several true immortal-level heavenly beings, and even the immortal soul of the You family's ancestor, You Lianwu, was still in his hand.

With just a slight comparison, he could easily discern the difference between them.

Furthermore, deep within his spirit, that substantiated spirit seemed to have gained an additional layer of the primordial judgment of Hongmeng, the power of the primordial chaos.

Zhang Jian knew this was the primordial spirit.

It was a wisp of primordial ancestral qi.

The strongest aspect of primordial gods was none other than the primordial spirit.

The primordial spirit is nearly the Dao's source itself, having stained itself with a bit of primordial Dao qi, or perhaps primordial ancestral qi, capable of deriving countless divine powers and possessing boundless growth potential.

Deep within his heart, Zhang Jian gave himself a summary.

Primordial gods have great potential, fast growth, high ceiling, small bottleneck, unkillable, and all-around attributes crush same-level immortals and gods.

"A most perfect high-dimensional being!"

Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Jian's mind; he finally understood why, in mythological hearsay, these primordial gods always occupy the main pages of mythological legends—because they are born too overwhelmingly powerful.

Of course, primordial strength does not mean postnatal weakness.

Among postnatal-born immortals and gods, some heavenly favorites are always born, achieving world-shocking accomplishments.

The many alert thoughts in Zhang Jian's mind immediately condensed into a single thought.

The feeling of becoming a primordial god is truly intoxicating!

At this moment, Zhang Jian could feel that multiple layers of heavenly and earthly marvels within his body had fused halfway; the fourth-rank Death God's divine post had been comprehended halfway by him, integrated into the Nine Nether Corpse Transformation Proper Law, transforming this first-rank immortal art into a third-rank immortal art.

The primordial Yin law Dao seed also began deep fusion with the Yin Refining Form Great Law, pushing this immortal art to the third-rank primordial Dao gate level.

The Mountains, Rivers, and State Diagram further fused with the 'Heart of Dimension'; although still at the third-rank immortal art stage, Zhang Jian's mastery of it had leapt multiple levels, with multiple main-stem immortal arts and auxiliary immortal arts within, advancing to third-rank.

His primordial Dao gate Golden Lotus Latent Breath Law likewise advanced to third-rank.

With so many techniques perfected, this is still only a part of the mysterious marvels of a primordial god's comprehension.

On the contrary, this is merely the beginning.

"A daily operation of an ordinary primordial god!"

Zhang Jian silently thought.

How to become an extraordinary primordial god, Zhang Jian felt he would need to further enhance the primordial ancestral qi source deep in his Dao foundation, or deepen its analysis, further comprehend it, achieve harmony, and innovate.

……

After briefly familiarizing himself with one or two primordial god powers, Zhang Jian chose to leave seclusion.

The commotion of the primordial god's birth was so great that Zhang Jian knew many guests had already arrived outside the Xia Dynasty imperial palace.

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian gazed around; after the layers of majestic divine might dissipated from his body, the women cultivating beneath the Yin treasure tree slowly stepped forward, all of them wearing somewhat shocked expressions.

They had all witnessed that majestic scene just now.

Someone becoming an immortal or god, an omen was nothing more than this.

The mountain god of Fengling Mountain hesitated slightly, then slowly stepped forward after a moment, unable to resist asking.

"Your Majesty, just now this strange omen is because Your Majesty has already attained immortality..."

Hearing this, Zhang Jian smiled faintly.

"Attaining immortality is not quite accurate; forcing it, one could say I have become a god!"

His gaze swept over the ladies; seeing their astonished expressions, he smiled lightly. At this moment, his mood was excellent, so he said.

"It can be considered a minor breakthrough!"

In fact, it is far more than just a minor breakthrough.

The essence of the innate god is extremely formidable; although newly attained, with Zhang Jian's grasp of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao laws, he is sufficient to match the existence of a Heavenly Immortal.

This is merely the initial attainment.

Furthermore, aided by the marvel of the 'Heavenly Blood', his primordial spirit's sea of consciousness sees the Immortal Dao laws further expanding, as if a purple-gold great sun envelops the entire space of his primordial spirit's sea of consciousness.

The 'Heavenly Blood' indeed has saved him ten thousand years of bitter cultivation and accumulation.

Zhang Jian feels he will soon fulfill the origin of this Immortal Dao law.

Perhaps he need not reach a hundred years of age before he can prove his Heavenly Immortal form.

The other ladies do not understand the magnitude of Zhang Jian's breakthrough, but they are also happy for him.

Zhang Jian is the cornerstone of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also the cornerstone for many of them.

Bai Yinxin stared at Zhang Jian with her clear black-and-white eyes, her face solemn as she spoke.

"Young Master, I feel you are much stronger than the True Lord Father!"

After a slight pause, realizing her mistake, she quickly added.

"No, not only compared to the True Lord Father, you are much stronger than our clan chief, though the aura on your body is truly fragrant..."

As she spoke, she leaned in, her nose still sniffing, her face showing some intoxication.

She referred to the clan chief of the White Tiger clan, Bai Qiu Zhenxian.

Zhang Jian casually gave her a flick to the forehead, sending her flying back. He noticed Qi Yuhua and Bai Liying in the distance gazing afar, and at this moment they also came forward.

In the distance, there was also a woman dressed in purple-black, exuding the full charm of an elder sister type.

That was Meng Fei, her beautiful eyes falling on Zhang Jian, her pupils also showing some surprise.

"Your Majesty!"

Qi Yuhua wore a splendid crimson phoenix robe, gorgeous beyond compare; seeing Zhang Jian safe and sound, she was naturally overjoyed.

Bai Liying wore a seven-colored interwoven gauze robe, her eyes bright and lovely, her pupils holding some astonishment. The divine beast nature of the Xuanming Dragon Carp let her instinctively sense the difference in Zhang Jian.

Previously, Zhang Jian gave her more of a sense of dignity.

The divine way is clear and manifest, dignity and holiness.

Now, moreover, there is an added nobility stemming from the innate above.

It seems his essence has transcended immortals and gods, unable to be directly observed, unable to be spied upon or contacted, unable to tolerate the slightest desecration.

After Qi Yuhua stepped forward, Bai Liying smiled and said.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your Dao cultivation has advanced greatly, your Dao career is promising!"

Zhang Jian smiled lightly, casually drawing the two women into his embrace, and said with a smile.

"We share in the joy; my Dao cultivation progresses, your futures also gain some security. If I can become an immortal, then our entire family, up and down, will all become immortals!"

Zhang Jian's expression held a smile; the other ladies, hearing this, exchanged glances, their eyes rippling.

If these words came from the mouth of another cultivator, they would only regard it as ordinary boasting, but coming from Zhang Jian, they felt it was not merely joking.

In the distance, Meng Bingyun's pupils held a faint glimmer of strange color.

Qi Yuhua's smile bloomed like a flower; she casually pushed against Zhang Jian's chest, and said coquettishly.

"Then this concubine will wait with the sisters for Your Majesty to become an immortal, so we may all enjoy the Daoist leisure together!"

Zhang Jian lightly nodded.

The husband and wife, just as when they first met, this mutual moistening with saliva made the ladies' expressions all somewhat unusual.

Bai Liying stood to the side, her heart also feeling a hint of sourness, but she soon adjusted herself.

To put it bluntly, only Qi Yuhua is Zhang Jian's true hair-tying wife.

Other concubines, even she, fall short by a considerable margin.

Of course, the path is also her own choice.

……

After lingering a moment with the consorts in the rear palace, Zhang Jian then left the secluded place to go meet the honored guests in the imperial palace.

These honored guests naturally centered on the three second-generation ancestral masters of the Tongshan Dao lineage.

Next came an elder of the Si family.

Other immortals, Zhang Jian largely did not recognize, but with the introduction by the three second-generation ancestral masters of the Tongshan Dao lineage, he quickly became acquainted.

All the immortals had observed the strange omen, used the excuse of passing by, and somewhat probed, while also wishing to form a good karmic connection.

One Divine Way Emperor already could not be matched, and this Divine Way Emperor seems to have again achieved innate creation, of course making it even less advisable to lightly oppose him.

It would be best to thus take this opportunity to clearly understand the thoughts of this Great Xia Emperor, which is the best course.

However, the three second-generation ancestral elders of the Tongshan Dao lineage did not give these people any opportunity.

At the banquet, the immortals several times tried to probe, but were all interrupted by the three second-generation ancestral masters of the Tongshan Dao lineage with jokes or directly diverted and let go.

However, at the banquet, there were also gains.

Upon learning that the Ji family was willing to spend sixty million top-grade spirit crystals to buy back one Ji family True Immortal at a heavenly price, and to compensate the losses of the Dongzhou Zhang family, Zhang Jian then expressed his willingness to turn swords into silk with the Ji family.

As long as they are willing to pay money, Zhang Jian's attitude is still very good.

As for accepting a Ji family true seed into the rear palace, this matter he also readily agreed to.

The Ji family is different from the Qin family.

The Ji family's power still remains.

If one were to try to take it down, perhaps it could succeed, but Zhang Jian would likely also have to pay part of the price.

Before there is any temporary conflict of interest, accepting this gesture of goodwill is not a major issue.

If there are still conflicts in the future, Zhang Jian will still not hold back; whatever needs to be done will still be done.

Anyway, the benefits are to be taken first and discussed later.

The banquet continued until evening, when the immortals slowly dispersed.

However, the two second-generation ancestral masters of the Tongshan Dao Tong did not leave.

After everyone had left, inside the main hall, the Law Ancestor was the first to speak.

"A Yu, have you truly become an innate creation?"

On their seats, the three ancient immortals all turned their gazes toward him.

Although they had just been trying to cover for Zhang Jian at the seat meeting, not wanting his reality and illusion to be exposed before the immortals, they themselves were very curious.

Zhang Jian looked at the three ancient immortals, knowing this matter was probably no longer a secret, and so he smiled calmly and said.

"Master Ancestor, I was fortunate enough to become an innate creation and achieve the innate divine body!"

Upon hearing this, the three ancient immortals exchanged glances, their smiles impossible to conceal.

Although they had already guessed it, hearing Zhang Jian admit it personally was another kind of feeling.

The Law Ancestor praised.

"O Innate God, even in the outer heavens beyond the realm, one with your lineage would be a mythical existence!"

The three ancient immortals slightly nodded; according to their lineage, they had indeed seen the great innate gods.

When Yu the Great tamed the waters, there were also heavenly and earthly gods and demons, or perhaps innate deities had manifested, but at that time they had not yet attained the Dao, their vision was too low, and they could not possibly come into contact with them.

Of course, their state of mind was also completely different.

The Purple Lightning Ancestor's eyes flickered, and he said.

"A Yu, we dare to ask one more question: what mysteries does the Innate God possess?"

After saying that, the Purple Lightning Ancestor looked at Zhang Jian and added.

"Of course, if it cannot be said, we also understand; I am merely asking casually, not intending to pry into your foundation, A Yu!"

The Primordial Ancestor and the Law Ancestor also spoke up, telling Zhang Jian not to take it to heart.

Zhang Jian, on the other hand, understood.

To the others, the Innate God might be a mythical existence.

Such beings are known only for their power, but not where exactly that power lies; naturally, they would feel an unbearable itch, possibly even some resentment.

Zhang Jian thought for a moment, then smiled lightly: "The specific advantages and disadvantages are hard to put into words; perhaps only through combat can one know the capabilities of the Innate God!"

Upon hearing this, the Purple Lightning Ancestor's eyes lit up.

"A Yu, this is simple; Uncle-Master Ancestor, shall we play with you?"

The Primordial Ancestor, upon hearing this, immediately shouted.

"Eleventh Junior Brother, stop messing around!"

After saying that, he glared at the Purple Lightning Ancestor; seeing the Primordial Ancestor's gaze, the Purple Lightning Ancestor's face immediately regained composure, though clearly written in his eyes were the two characters "no interest."

At this moment, the Primordial Ancestor's expression was solemn, his eyes falling upon Zhang Jian.

"A Yu, since you have a great opportunity and have cultivated the body of an innate deity, you should seize the chance to properly enhance your strength!"

After a slight pause, the Primordial Ancestor said.

"Perhaps, after a period of time, the Tongshan Dao Tong will still need you to contribute!"

He seemed to have deeper meaning in his words.

Zhang Jian's heart stirred.

The Primordial Ancestor thought for a moment and then said.

"Of course, if you wish to test the divine powers of an innate deity, perhaps you could go to the Barbaric Wastelands for a trip; you previously suppressed the demon masters of the Three Holy States, and now the Three Holy States are plotting to awaken the slumbering demon lord deep within their lands! If he were to emerge, he would likely seek trouble with you!"

"Of course, this fellow is also an obstacle to our Tongshan Dao Tong's unification of Dongxuan Divine Province; if you can eliminate him, that would be best of all!"
