Chapter 470: Primordial Qi's Profound Mechanism (4K)

At this moment, Zhang Jian's true form gradually emerged, and vast divine power surged around him!

In the depths of the boundless void, the great Dao laws of the infinite heavens and earth seemed to merge with him.

With each breath, a mighty force of heaven and earth surged into his body, transforming into vast primordial divine power.

At this moment, Zhang Jian was using primordial divine power to drive his techniques, not his own primordial spirit's mana or cultivation.

The mana and cultivation of the primordial spirit come from the primordial spirit itself.

Primordial divine power comes from the body of the primordial deity; only thus could he continuously cast composite third-rank immortal techniques without any consumption.

Without relying on the special talent of the primordial deity.

If based solely on the primordial spirit as the source, without borrowing primordial divine power, Zhang Jian could not cast many third-rank immortal techniques.

It was not because the primordial spirit was not strong enough.

Even a heavenly immortal-level expert could not so lavishly expend third-rank immortal techniques.

Only primordial deities, born close to the Dao and containing a strand of primordial qi within their bodies, could borrow primordial qi as the source of the great Dao's power, thus gaining the support of heaven and earth's force.

The nature of primordial qi is not limited to this!

A thought flashed in the depths of Zhang Jian's eyes; he prepared that upon returning, he would certainly devote more effort to mastering this primordial qi authority.

It seemed that even the Dao fruit that a Taiyi realm immortal seeks to condense is somehow related to Dao qi and primordial qi, enabling transcendence of the heavenly and earthly great Dao laws, achieving the pinnacle of all laws, the realm of the great Dao's source.

"Merely treating primordial qi as a 'power bank' would still be somewhat wasteful!"

Zhang Jian mused inwardly, and with a wave of his hand, a stream of light swept up the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram.

Nine-colored radiance leaped in his palm, as if the entire universe's Qiankun were contained within a single palm.

Zhang Jian gazed at this scene with a slight smile, and there was also some emotion in the depths of his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, his cultivation had actually reached this stage.

Immediately, he glanced upward into the depths of the astral space above.

In the depths of the astral space, the Violet Lightning Ancestor and the Dharma-Dispelling Ancestor, these two ancient immortals, were pressing down on several extraterritorial demon gods, wildly beating the extraterritorial fiend gods.

Zhang Jian felt an itch to act; although he wanted to find an excuse to seize back these few extraterritorial demons and fiends, after thinking, he still lowered his flags and silenced his drums.

Turning his head, Zhang Jian again directed his gaze toward the Cloud-Piercing Ridge beneath his feet.

The majestic Cloud-Piercing Ridge, stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers, was nearly shattered in its main body by his single palm.

That strike also severely wounded the Zhu Yan demon lord, forcing him into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram.

If not for this, the destruction caused by this battle would not have been limited to just one Cloud-Piercing Ridge.

Before his eyes, the central main vein of the Cloud-Piercing Ridge had basically become a barren stone mountain of shattered rock, stretching tens of thousands of li in all directions.

With a thought, Zhang Jian waved his hand back and condensed a second-rank immortal technique, the True Solution of Yin-Yang Creation.

A jade-green immortal light condensed, forming the image of the black-and-white yin-yang taiji, which merged into the Cloud-Piercing Ridge.

Wherever the jade-green taiji fish passed, countless earth veins were renewed by the power of creation, mended and reshaped.

The collapsed mountains and rivers were restored anew, the broken mountain ridges reshaped, and the vital creative power, like waves of green light, soothed the earth.

Within the ruins of the Cloud-Piercing Ridge, countless plants, stimulated by the vital creative power, regrew and flourished, as if bathed in the creation of heaven and man, once again draping this wasteland in a layer of green.

Zhang Jian gazed at this scene, and a hint of satisfaction instantly appeared in the depths of his eyes.

At this moment, as the nine-colored divine light enveloping heaven and earth above the Cloud-Piercing Ridge faded, many powerful demon clans, even demon soldiers and generals, all fell silent; Zhang Jian's final means of restoring the Cloud-Piercing Ridge, they all witnessed.

Clearly, the victor of this battle was this foreign powerhouse.

The demon clan's demon lord was defeated!

And this scene meant, for many powerful demon clans of the Cloud-Piercing Ridge, that the heavens had collapsed.

The Three Holy Nations first had their Three Holy Palace uprooted, and now even the demon lord was suppressed by this terrifying immortal deity.

Is this not the destruction of a nation!

Many demon clan powerhouses had dazed expressions, and for a moment could not react.

From ancient times to the present, the Three Holy Nations that governed the barbaric regions were actually destroyed by this unknown powerhouse!

For a moment, many demon gods were in some confusion, and their expressions were complex.

Many demon gods, since birth, had grown up hearing the stories of the Three Holy Nations, accustomed to the Three Holy Nations pressing down upon the myriad demon clans of the barbaric regions, residing at the pinnacle of all demons; now the legend shattered, and a new myth was unfolding.

To be able to destroy the Three Holy Palace and suppress the demon lord of the barbaric regions, the leader of myriad demons—is this not itself a myth?

This mysterious powerhouse is destined to be remembered by the myriad demon clans and demon gods of the barbaric regions.

And at this moment, accompanied by a vast sword light that cleaved the heavens, sweeping across the firmament, it was as if the void itself had plunged into termination.

The astral space shattered; only seen within, a figure whose body was covered in blood-colored light, an Asura demon god, likewise had its demonic body shattered along with it.

Gray light appeared from within; the Dharma-Dispelling Ancestor glanced at the inside and outside of the Cloud-Piercing Ridge, his eyes slightly furrowed in contemplation, and then he spoke.

"Demons of the barbaric regions, listen: from now on, the Tongshan Dao Unified shall govern the Eastern Xuanzhou Divine Prefecture.

The barbaric regions shall likewise fall under the governance of the Tongshan Dao Unified.

Though heaven possesses the virtue of good life, and all things have the right to survive, my Tongshan Dao Unified also does not wish to exterminate completely!

But after this, the two regions of Eastern Xuanzhou Divine Prefecture, the Eastern Continent region, shall be forbidden zones for the demon clans; if demons dare to trespass into these two great regions, the Three Holy Nations shall be your warning!!"

With a wave of his hand, a gray-black sword light flew from the void, instantly cleaving numerous peaks ten thousand ren high!

The residual sword intent carried a vast exterminating sword intent!

Such swordsmanship shocked the hearts and minds of countless demon clan powerhouses, giving rise in their hearts to the feeling as if, in an instant, a sword intent impossible to surpass had been implanted, their primordial spirit Dao hearts likewise shaken to the core!

And among them were several peerless giant demons who knew the danger; they hurriedly sat in meditation, striving to wear away the sword shadow left in the depths of their primordial spirit Dao hearts, lest it leave a hidden peril.

After thinking, the Dharma-Dispelling Ancestor spoke again.

"Furthermore, the Tongshan Dao Unified encourages the demon clans to search for traces of extraterritorial gods and demons; if any demon clan can discover extraterritorial altars, traces of extraterritorial fiend gods, and report them to the various Dao Palaces of the Tongshan Dao Unified, the Tongshan Dao Unified will surely bestow rich rewards, including heavenly and earthly treasures, demon cultivator techniques, bloodline elixirs, and so on, without limit!"

The words fell, and the Dharma-Dispelling Ancestor vanished in escape.

On the other side, the Violet Lightning Ancestor also unleashed his mighty thunder law, slaying several heads of extraterritorial demon gods.

His thunder method is an innate thunder method, and it is not even a powerful innate thunder method.

Multiple innate thunder methods formed a vast thunder sea in the void, directly smashing numerous extradimensional demon gods into it; by the time they emerged, those demon gods had already been reduced to powder.

However, after the Tongshan Dao lineage departed, many powerful demon clansmen were both furious and helpless.

How could the barbarian wilderness fall under the control of a single immortal sect's lineage?

Yet now, with the demon horde leaderless, the demons find it difficult to muster any resistance.

Moreover, the Tongshan Dao lineage stepping forward at this time—does it not indicate that the ones who suppressed the demon sovereign were precisely the strong ones of the Tongshan Dao lineage?

If so, how could they withstand it?

……

Beneath Mount Moyun, Shi Rui had been waiting, and he also witnessed the terrifying sight of Mount Moyun collapsing.

This extraordinary change left his face stunned.

Having wandered through the City of Ten Thousand Demons for three hundred years, no one knows its darkness better than he, nor does anyone know its strength better than he.

"I do not know where my master comes from, yet he possesses such divine powers!"

Shi Rui felt that he would probably never forget this scene for the rest of his life.

Deep within his heart, a feeling of unprecedented pride surged forth.

This is his master.

By his own power, he flattened the City of Ten Thousand Demons, resolving a city that countless humans regarded as a malignant tumor.

At that moment, deep in the void, Zhang Jian's figure appeared; he glanced at the still-excited Shi Rui and smiled faintly.

"Follow your master back to Daxia!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Rui's eyes brightened, and he immediately nodded.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Jian drew Shi Rui into his sleeve.

Zhang Jian then turned his gaze once more toward the direction of Mount Moyun.

He did not meet the Old Ancestor of Thunder Law or the Old Ancestor of Purple Lightning.

These two old ancestors seemingly had other objectives and had already gone to another direction in the barbarian wilderness.

Although the barbarian wilderness is led by the Three Sacred States, it does not mean there are no other powerful beings within.

On the contrary, hidden dragons and crouching tigers lie within.

If the Tongshan Dao lineage wishes to bring the barbarian wilderness under its control, there is still a long way to go.

……

Lishui, within the Lishui Divine Palace.

Zhang Jian brought Shi Rui to meet Bai Shuang again, returning the Earth Spring Pearl to its rightful owner.

At the same time, Zhang Jian also left several precious lotuses from the Dragon Transformation Pool as a token of thanks!

Subsequently, Zhang Jian returned to the Daxia Dynasty.

In and around the capital city of Haojing in the Daxia Dynasty, festivities had already begun.

Once again, red banners were hung.

The last time was the marriage alliance between the Dongzhou Zhang clan and the Shi family.

This time, it is the marriage alliance between the Dongzhou Zhang clan and the Ji and Ying families, three major clans.

The dowry matters were entrusted by Zhang Jian to Zhanmo Zhenjun, as well as several familiar senior disciples—Wuliang Zhenjun, Qingyun Zhenjun, and so on.

Thereafter, Zhang Jian turned his attention to the gains of this expedition.

This time, his harvest was immense: besides successfully subduing the barbarian wilderness demon sovereign, he also obtained the seed of a heavenly and earthly divine spring.

Other obtained rare treasures, including immortal treasures and heavenly earthly spiritual roots, are not few in number.

This can be called a great windfall.

Among them, the ancient treasure tree Bodhi seed, white jade spiritual tree, red brewing tree, and green spiritual tree—Zhang Jian plans to either establish a secret realm for each or send them to the imperial garden for proper cultivation.

The ancient spiritual root Bodhi treasure tree is the Wisdom Tree; cultivating beneath it reduces distracting thoughts and aids in entering meditation and austere practice.

The white jade spiritual fruit produced by the white jade spiritual tree can be tempered and purified, refining the bloodlines of demons and divine beasts.

The fruit of the red brewing tree contains deadly poison, but when used to feed poisonous insects, it is of the highest quality.

Moreover, the green spiritual fruit produced by the green spiritual tree enhances wood spirit affinity, nourishes the physique, and is also of the rare spiritual root grade.

Although it is of the rare spiritual root grade.

But spiritual roots usually possess sustainability, requiring a premium of half a level to one full level.

These treasures are all the foundation of the Daxia Dynasty.

In the future, the Daxia Dynasty can revolve around them and hold various grand and minor competitions to attract talents from all directions.

As for how to plan and utilize them, Zhang Jian entrusted them to Zhang Zhao and Shi Bilier for management.

On the Hall of Containing Yuan, upon personally receiving the treasure list delivered by Zhang Jian, Zhang Zhao and Shi Bilier could not help but exchange glances.

"Father, this is……"

Facing the gazes of Zhang Zhao and Shi Bilier, Zhang Jian did not conceal anything, smiling.

"This time, I incidentally made a trip to the barbarian wilderness, incidentally overthrew the Three Sacred Palace; these things I regard as rare, I have no use for them, but in the future, the Dongzhou Zhang clan will surely be able to use them, so I decided to entrust these things to you two to manage!"

Zhang Zhao and Shi Bilier exchanged a glance, secretly shocked.

Even though Zhang Zhao has only recently entered the cultivation world, he knows the prestige of the Three Sacred States in the barbarian wilderness.

But this father of his is simply astonishing—he actually overthrew the Three Sacred Palace and brought it back?

Can the demon horde of the Three Sacred States possibly rest?

Shi Bilier's jade-like countenance also underwent a subtle change.

As one of the Eight Sacred Kings' noble families, the Shi family's heavenly pride, she understands even better the weight of the Three Sacred Palace.

"Father Emperor, did you defeat the two great demon marshals?"

On the throne, Zhang Jian gave a slight smile, and with a wave of his hand, a divine light revealed an enormous corpse within.

One of them was wrapped in countless golden-red true fire of the Golden Crow, most of its body charred black, yet the Azure Dragon's form and the immense aura emanating from the corpse still hinted at how powerful it was in life.

"This is..."

Zhang Zhao's gaze shifted, his pupils changing color.

It was actually an Azure Dragon.

Shi Lier also turned her wondrous gaze over, astonishment in her eyes.

"He is the Azure Dragon Demon Marshal; as for the Nine Infant Demon Marshal, he left no corpse, which is a pity—such a demon marshal's corpse is a supreme treasure even for you!"

"The flesh can be used in medicine, the dragon pearl, dragon sinews, dragon bones, and dragon scales can be refined into supreme protective treasures, and the dragon eyes can serve as collectibles!"

Zhang Jian's expression held a smile, then he recalled the true form of the Zhuyan Demon Lord.

That Zhuyan Demon Lord is the main event; however, such a powerful being's physique already contains indestructible energy, so to slay it, he must act personally.

Shi Lier's expression trembled at this moment.

Not defeated.

But slain!

This father emperor of hers actually succeeded in slaying the two great demon marshals.

This is something many ancient immortals could not accomplish!

Once this becomes known, the Zhang clan of Dongzhou will surely fame throughout heaven and earth.

However, in fact, since the appearance of the heavenly omens, the name of the Daxia Emperor has already been known to many ancient powerhouses of the Zhou Mountain Realm.

Shi Lier then recalled the message sent from the Shi family earlier.

"Father Emperor, I heard that the Three Sacred States have been widely issuing demon summoning orders lately; that demon lord is about to awaken—have you encountered him..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's lips twitched slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Of course I met him; we even 'exchanged' a few words, and incidentally invited him to be a guest in our Haojing Chen!"

After a brief pause, he continued.

"Now, he has been detained by me first; after properly 'entertaining' him for a while, I will show him to you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhao and Shi Lier exchanged glances, their eyes both filled with shock.

"Father Emperor must be counted among the very few top existences in the Zhou Mountain Realm; despite his short cultivation years, he has achieved such peerless Dao conduct—no wonder the Second Ancestor values him so highly!"

Shi Lier secretly mused in her heart, furthermore feeling ripples in the depths of her Dao heart.

But in an instant, she recalled the marriage alliance between the Dongzhou Zhang clan and several other Sacred King clans.

She secretly sighed in her heart; from now on, the Dongzhou Zhang family will surely be very lively.

……

In the celestial realm, within the magnificent immortal domain.

'Qingxia Daoist' was absorbing the vast incense within the incense palace lamp while urgently contacting her true body.

The continuous sacrificial pressure all fell upon her, making her feel greatly oppressed.

At the same time, 'Qingxia Daoist' also showed some concern.

"If I lose this precious ancestral qi, I do not know whether my true body will blame me upon its return!!"

'Qingxia Daoist's' eyes flickered.

Her eyes also held a look of helplessness.

She felt that before this, she must come up with some methods.
