Chapter 471: Reforged (4K)

Qingxia Daozun also once considered selling the few innate divine artifacts in her hands, or perhaps the innate merit and virtue spirit treasures.

When Zhang Jian initially performed the sacrifice, he sacrificed several pieces of semi-finished innate divine artifacts, or perhaps earthly treasures.

But selling these things off is still just a drop in the bucket.

As for the few latest innate merit and virtue spirit treasures.

Such treasures are too crucial, so it's actually not good to use them consecutively.

Moreover, these few innate merit and virtue spirit treasures have very special properties, greatly restraining that old rival, so Qingxia Daozun also dares not easily dispose of them, lest the main body inquire and she cannot explain.

She can only try to contact the main body, seeking its opinion.

But now what makes Qingxia Daozun feel helpless is that the main body is somewhere in an unknown realm, seemingly unable to communicate normally.

This puts Qingxia Daozun in a dilemma!

While pondering, Qingxia Daozun suddenly felt something.

A layer of vast Daozun-level mana surged around her body, instantly activating a great Dao method from the depths of her soul, radiance blossoming, and suddenly a ring of light appeared in the depths of the void.

Qingxia Daozun's main body emerged from within.

"Contact established!"

Seeing this, Qingxia Daozun's eyes brightened.

At this moment, Qingxia Daozun's gaze fell upon the incarnation on the cloud bed, merely glancing at it, she immediately raised her eyebrows and exclaimed in surprise:

"Incarnation, how did you end up looking like this?"

"Could someone have invaded the Lantai Dao Palace during this time?"

Upon hearing this, Qingxia Daozun immediately had someone to vent her grievances to.

"Main body, if you don't return soon, next time I can only return the soul feedback to your sacrificial target!"

Hearing the incarnation's complaint, Qingxia Daozun's expression shifted in the light and shadow.

"That's easy to handle—you obtained the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, didn't you? Then just throw it out!"

"You mean...?"

Qingxia Daozun's expression froze, and she spoke in a deep voice.

"But if we continue selling a second innate merit and virtue spirit treasure at the Yaochi Auction in a short time, we might attract the attention of other ancient immortals and gods!"

Qingxia Daozun smirked in the light and shadow.

"Then let's switch auction houses—send it to the Three Emperors Auction!"

"The Three Emperors Auction?"

The incarnation's expression turned serious.

The Three Emperors Auction is an auction house backed by the major human forces of the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm, rumored to be organized by numerous human Dao Emperors, with complex and intertwined powers.

Safety can be guaranteed.

However, the emergence of such a rare treasure will inevitably draw the attention of the Taiyin Immortal Lord.

As the one who holds the authority of Taiyin, the other party will surely spare no effort to seize it.

If this treasure falls into the hands of the Taiyin Immortal Maiden, wouldn't that be like giving a tiger wings?

The incarnation's face showed some confusion.

Qingxia Daozun's expression was unusual as she smiled.

"If we don't lure out her true form, how can we hook her?"

Seeing Qingxia Daozun still furrowing her brow tightly, Qingxia Daozun shook her head.

"The auction procedure for innate merit and virtue spirit treasures isn't that simple, and such supreme treasures are extraordinarily precious—we can completely demand barter, not selling for anything less than equivalent innate merit and virtue spirit treasures!"

"But will the Three Emperors Auction agree?"

Qingxia Daozun's expression shifted, and she instantly realized she had asked a foolish question.

The Three Emperors Auction will certainly agree!

Even just leveraging the name taboo of the innate merit and virtue spirit treasure could boost the Three Emperors Auction's influence to new heights—how could they pass up such a good opportunity!

"However, the timing of the release isn't urgent—let me first emerge from this relic before it's too late!"

"But what if sacrifices are held again in the lower realm during this time?"

The incarnation looked troubled.

Qingxia Daozun heard this and coldly snorted.

"Haven't you learned to divert funds yet? Then you figure it out yourself!"

Qingxia Daozun's expression was helpless as she quickly complained.

"Main body, I'm also left with no choice—if I don't give equivalent feedback, ultimately it will still be you, Main body, who has to repay this sacrificial karma!"

Qingxia Daozun glanced, then fiercely glared at this incarnation.

This incarnation caused quite a mess—the treasures she prepared in her private vault were mostly destined for various purposes, or to set up the grand scheme, or for vertical and horizontal alliances, or to dismantle the enemy's aides.

All were ruined by Qingxia Daozun.

However, Qingxia Daozun's actions were indeed to protect her interests—this pit she must fill herself.

Qingxia Daozun pondered slightly, then spoke after a moment.

"Like this, I still have a treasury left in the mortal realm of the heavens, originally prepared for a future heavenly pride of the next Dao era—you go first and take one earthly treasure from it, and after this matter concludes, I will replenish it!"

Upon hearing this, Qingxia Daozun's eyes brightened—this main body of hers, when it comes to amassing wealth, truly has nothing to say, even having a private vault in the lower realm!

There's probably not just one "private vault"!

After a slight pause, Qingxia Daozun glanced at this incarnation and said.

"Your path of incense and fire cultivation is indeed quite suitable—perhaps you will even become my greatest trump card in the future!"

Regarding this incarnation's decision to walk the path of incense and fire, Qingxia Daozun also fully supports it.

Nowadays, the sacrificial days in the lower realm are becoming increasingly ordinary, each one more ferocious than the last.

This is extremely advantageous for the incarnations that walk the path of incense and worship.

Since ancient times, among the celestial realm, those supreme beings who have achieved the form of a Dao Lord through incense and worship are few and far between, but there are some who have gone to extreme depths along this path.

Each of them is a supreme exalted one in the void of the myriad heavens.

Upon receiving affirmation from the Dao Lord of Qingxia's true form, the incarnation could not help but reveal a faint smile on its face.

……

The Great Xia Dynasty, within the Hall of Heavenly Origin.

Zhang Zhao, Si Li'er quickly produced a feasible plan, properly arranging all the major spiritual roots.

Afterwards, they sought a place to rebuild the Dragon Transformation Pool anew.

Many lotuses within the Dragon Transformation Pool are precious varieties.

Zhang Jian originally intended to place it in the barbaric wilderness, within the Two Dragons Mountain.

However, considering that it contained numerous heavenly earth spiritual roots and spiritual flowers, he hesitated somewhat.

Zhang Jian also consulted Zhang Zhao and Si Li'er on this matter.

The two expressed extraordinary support for Zhang Jian.

The reason is the strategy of the cunning rabbit with three burrows.

The number of secret establishments built within the imperial palace is already sufficient.

Moreover, the valuable treasures inside have already reached a certain standard; there is no need to leave too many treasures entirely in this place.

After listening to the suggestions of Zhang Zhao and Si Li'er, Zhang Jian accepted them readily.

He then separately selected two lotuses from the Dragon Transformation Pool and handed them to the two individuals.

The lotus given to Zhang Zhao is the Golden Lotus of Yaochi.

The Golden Lotus of Yaochi has limited use for Zhang Jian.

Especially after understanding the profound mystery of the primordial qi, with Zhang Jian's own insight, he could quickly comprehend other corresponding primordial qi divine abilities, the innate divine marvels.

For Zhang Jian, the Golden Lotus of Yaochi is merely an added beauty.

But for Zhang Zhao, whose aptitude is ordinary, it is like sending charcoal in the snow.

As for the lotus given to Si Li'er, it is a rare heavenly earth treasure, the Water Spirit Jade Lotus!

Si Li'er possesses an innate water-attribute Dao body; consuming this Water Spirit Jade Lotus can greatly enhance her origin, strengthen her talent, and also aid in breaking through barriers!

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

The two gazed upon the two heavenly earth treasures before them, and in the depths of their eyes, a hint of joy appeared.

Such treasures that can enhance aptitude, benefit origin, and even enhance insight are exceedingly rare; even with their two statuses, they are difficult to obtain.

Zhang Jian pondered for a moment, then spoke again.

"Later, I will bestow upon you a dual cultivation secret method; with your current cultivation levels, refining a heavenly earth divine object individually would still be somewhat wasteful. You can cultivate together, and both shall benefit!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Jian sent two divine lights, each entering the glabella of Zhang Zhao and Si Li'er respectively.

After a moment, Zhang Zhao opened his eyes, and there was some joy in his gaze.

"Thank you, Father Emperor, for bestowing the method!"

Si Li'er's eyes held a hint of shyness; seeing this, she also slightly bowed her body.

Watching the young couple depart, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jian's mouth.

He had deduced that Zhang Zhao and Si Li'er were destined for many offspring and blessings; the Eastern Zhou Zhang clan would surely flourish as the main line because of this.

Next is Zhang Yi.

On the contrary, Zhang Xian has scarce peach blossom luck; it is unlikely to be relied upon.

Afterwards, Zhang Jian bestowed the three picked white jade spirit fruits separately: one given to Bai Li Ying, to aid her in comprehending the marvels of the Profound Black Dragon Carp bloodline.

One of the remaining two was prepared to be left for Zhang Yi.

The other was prepared to be given to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling has been traveling throughout the realm for the Great Xia Dynasty these days, suppressing numerous sect lineages; bestowing upon her a white jade spirit fruit is also a natural and proper matter.

After distributing a portion of the acquired treasures and transforming them into tangible strength, Zhang Jian then recalled the inexpensive disciple recorded before the Three Holy Palaces.

His gaze fell upon, and he drew into the Hall of Heavenly Origin the Shi Rui who had been wandering idly throughout Hao Jing City.

Since entering the capital, Shi Rui has been wandering through various departments in Hao Jing City.

Experiencing the prosperity of Hao Jing City.

Furthermore, the divine capital Shen Jing City, far in the Western Mountains, is also his target.

Compared to the dark and chaotic Three Holy City, this place is undoubtedly a paradise.

Yet, regarding the method of longevity, he is also increasingly yearning for it.

At this moment, being abruptly drawn into the great hall, Shi Rui's heart stirred with a faint suspicion.

In the depths of his withered heart and spirit, he could not help but feel somewhat stirred.

"Master!"

He dropped to both knees, kowtowing in salute!

Zhang Jian's eyes fell upon this eldest disciple, and he smiled, saying.

"Shi Rui, this time I have summoned you here to reforge your physical body!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Rui could not contain his joy and surprise.

"Master, can my disciple still have a physical body?"

Zhang Jian nodded and said.

"If I am not mistaken, your physical body has always been preserved by the strange treasure within your body; even if your flesh has died, as long as the corpse remains, I can restore you to life!"

Zhang Jian's expression held a hint of a smile.

Although he had not cultivated any great divine power capable of reversing life and death, he possessed a divine elixir in his hand that could reverse life and death.

He had previously purchased three drops of Three Radiance Divine Water.

Three Radiance Divine Water can revive the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

Even if the spiritual roots of heaven and earth have their rootstock severed, they can still be reconnected and healed.

Reversing the life and death of an ordinary mortal is even simpler!

Although he has already used this treasure, there are similar treasures in the Three Saints Palace!

Such as the Life and Death Lotus!

"Shi Rui, come forward!"

Following Zhang Jian's command, 'Shi Rui' suppressed the apprehension in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward.

With a wave of Zhang Jian's hand, an invisible divine light directly descended into the depths of Shi Rui's brow.

It seemed to feel the pressure, and the depths of Shi Rui's eyes instantly burst forth with a blue light.

Zhang Jian's indifferent voice suddenly appeared beside his ear.

"Do not give rise to resistance!"

Upon hearing this, a surge welled up deep within Shi Rui's heart; at this moment, he and the strange treasure within his body had completely merged into one, and he could also sense the terror of that power deep in the void.

If he does not resist now, if his master harbors ill intentions toward him, he fears he will completely lose any room for resistance.

At this moment, a trace of struggle passed through his heart.

Having wandered through the Three Saints Palace for so long, he had seen too much darkness and betrayal, and instinctively felt rejection and vigilance toward anything.

Yet Shi Rui still chose to let go of his heart and mind at this moment.

Given the terrifying cultivation level displayed by his master, there was truly no need for such an extra measure.

Moreover, if his master truly harbored ill intentions toward him, relying on the power of the strange treasure within his body, he might be able to resist for a moment or two, but it might not necessarily help him escape.

Zhang Jian's gaze rested on Shi Rui's actions, and he secretly nodded.

Shi Rui is a material that can be shaped!

As his innate divine power surged in, Shi Rui felt at this moment a sapphire-colored radiance gradually emerging from the depths of his soul.

It was a pearl.

The fifth-tier Immortal Treasure, the Tai Xu Li Hun Pearl!

Shi Rui had long known its origin, and even within it lay a heaven-shaking inheritance.

This object is the natal immortal treasure of an ancient immortal.

And as a primordial immortal, to leave behind one's natal immortal treasure, regarded as the supreme treasure for attaining the Dao, naturally means he had already fallen in some unknown calamity.

Zhang Jian's innate divine power also sensed the power of this strange treasure.

Such a fifth-tier Immortal Treasure, under Shi Rui's soothing, did not resist, but the divine power it emanated was terrifying beyond compare.

Zhang Jian now also possesses a fifth-tier Immortal Treasure in his hand.

It is the 'Qian Jun' held by the Zhu Yan Yaojun!

However, the feeling that this 'Qian Jun' gives him is not as profound as that of this fifth-tier Immortal Treasure before him.

There is clearly a great difference between the two.

Although Zhang Jian probed into it with his innate divine power, he did not take the opportunity to refine it.

Zhang Jian disdains to do so.

As an Innate Emperor, he is confident that his future achievements will not merely be at the level of a Taiyi Great Ability; he will surely attain the supreme Dao Jun, overwhelming all realms beyond the heavens.

At this moment, as his innate divine power merged into it, Zhang Jian also sensed part of the information and power left behind by this fifth-tier Immortal Treasure.

In the depths of Zhang Jian's eyes, this fifth-tier Immortal Treasure contains multiple layers of fifth-tier Immortal Laws.

Primarily, the profound mysteries of the four great Dao laws of Tai Xu, time, space, and speed.

As for the core inheritance contained within, Zhang Jian did not trigger it, for it belongs to Shi Rui's opportunity.

At this moment, as his innate divine power deepened, he gradually locked onto a tranquil spacetime treasure space; with a thought, he saw an invisible light fly out from the depths of Shi Rui's brow and fall into the great hall before him.

Shi Rui gazed upon it and saw a youth in tattered clothes, his forehead covered in bloodstains, his chest caved in.

This youth is none other than his true self.

Xiao Mujiang.

He looks as if he has just died not long ago!

Seeing this scene, Shi Rui's eyes could not help but stir with emotion, and he simultaneously turned his gaze toward Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian saw this scene, and with a wave of his hand, a death-gray light enveloped the head of Xiao Mujiang.

The Nine Underworld Corpse Shedding True Law manifested, forming a page that covered Xiao Mujiang's entire body.

The authority over death reversed life and death, instantly absorbing the deathly qi within Xiao Mujiang's body and transforming it into a vibrant life force, which was then reinfused deep into Xiao Mujiang's brow.

At the same time, Zhang Jian took out a black-and-white treasure lotus.

This is the Life and Death Lotus!

It contains within it the power to reverse life and death.

Zhang Jian used his magic power to transform it into a strand of black-and-white divine light, which fell into the depths of Xiao Mujiang's brow.

In an instant, the previously lifeless Xiao Mujiang's body began to show strange omens.
