Chapter 472: Tongshan Divine Dao Transmission (4K) (End of Month Seek Monthly Votes)

Countless black, white, and profound lights swirled, and within the Hall of Containing the Origin, it seemed like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

In the depths of the void, countless yin winds opened up, deep within the yin winds, countless black winds coiled, and in the depths of Zhang Jian's eyes, a life-and-death reincarnation disk was born.

In the darkness, the law of life and death reversed upon the corpse of the little carpenter.

In the depths of Zhang Jian's divine eyes, he could see the little carpenter's vanished death register reappear, and his lifespan began to increase.

The reappearance of the death register is a good thing for someone like the little carpenter, an ordinary mortal.

The soul, protected by the side of the life-and-death reincarnation, can be immune to some special soul-type secret arts.

It can also avoid the soul becoming overly sensitive, easily seeing things it should not see, leading to a twisted soul, even a twisted will.

This is due to the realm not yet being reached.

Being unable to control or master one's own soul nature inevitably leads to self-harm.

Zhang Jian also hopes the little carpenter will one day reclaim his own soul imprint.

Seeing the little carpenter's lifespan raised to the utmost of one hundred and twenty, Zhang Jian waved his hand and dispersed the backlash of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth produced by the inverted life and death in the depths of the void.

"Go in!"

Zhang Jian ordered.

Shi Rui's eyes filled with joy; he also felt the pull of his physical body upon him, and his soul involuntarily drifted toward the little carpenter, instantly stepping into that black-and-white vortex.

The moment his soul merged into it, the black-and-white treasure lotus at the center of his brow instantly turned to powder.

The little carpenter's physical body slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Shi Rui clearly sensed the scent of sandalwood in the air, the aroma of spices.

Before him, the golden hall appeared with clear texture.

He pinched his own cheek, let out a slight cry of pain, and could not help but feel joy rise.

He then immediately performed a deep kowtow on the ground.

"Disciple thanks Master for the grace of recreation, Master's great kindness; even if this disciple were to have his body shattered and bones ground to dust, it would still be hard to repay!"

Upon the golden throne, Zhang Jian's imperial aura rose all around him, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, and he slightly waved his hand, saying.

"No need for this; rise!"

Seeing the little carpenter truly come back to life before him, he added.

"As your master, I have already entered your name and taboo into the Tongshan Dao Lineage of the Slay Demon Peak; you may now begin cultivating the Foundation Establishment method. Your foundation is extremely solid; as long as you calm your mind and cultivate diligently, you will surely achieve something in the future!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Jian implanted the Tongshan Pure Nine Chapters into the depths of the little carpenter's soul, aiding in strengthening his inner breath, refining his spiritual mechanism, and setting him on the path of cultivation.

The Tongshan Pure Nine Chapters is the first method Zhang Jian obtained, and also a Foundation Establishment method deliberately scattered by the Tongshan Dao Lineage to gather outstanding talents from heaven and earth.

Such methods are the gentlest possible.

Very suitable for Foundation Establishment.

And after Foundation Establishment, Zhang Jian will personally bring the little carpenter into the Tongshan Dao Lineage to undergo the inner disciple examination, and then the opportunity for core transmission.

The little carpenter's innate talent can only be considered ordinary, but his soul, nourished by a strange treasure for three hundred years, is extraordinarily strong—this is somewhat like Zhang Jian when he first began cultivation.

As for enhancing spiritual roots and transforming bones and marrow with spiritual medicines, the Great Xia Dynasty never lacks them.

The Dragon Transformation Pool even has several kinds of lotus with such effects.

He also still possesses the Taiyin Golden Pill and the Creation Golden Pill, which have such effects.

The little carpenter departed with countless thanks, having long yearned to set foot on the path of longevity and immortality.

Today, for him, is finally the fulfillment of his long-held wish.

He must now cultivate diligently for a period of time.

……

After the little carpenter left, Zhang Jian glanced in the direction he departed, his eyes showing a hint of contemplation.

After the little carpenter entered the sect, his cultivation speed will certainly not be slow; he should grow quickly.

He has also given due explanation regarding the Slay Demon Peak lineage.

Moreover, he carries the ancient immortal inheritance; as long as he grows smoothly, the probability of attaining the Dao is great.

Even if one day he ascends to the heavenly gates, he can ensure that the interests of the Slay Demon Peak lineage remain unaffected.

With all these thoughts dispelled, Zhang Jian prepared to make another trip to the Tongshan Dao Lineage before his great wedding.

First, to exchange for another fundamental inheritance of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, the Nine Heavens Divine Void Golden Chapters!

The Nine Heavens Divine Void Golden Chapters is one of the fundamental secret arts of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, containing within it a complete divine Dao transmission.

Possessing the authority of the State and Earth Emperor, and even being an innate divine body, mastering the fundamental transmission of the divine Dao will aid him in comprehending the marvelous ancestral qi and mastering the power of innate divinity.

Besides this, it was also indicated in the words of the previous two second-generation ancestral masters that they intended to support him in unifying the Dongxuan Divine Province, and even the other four great provincial regions; he must go to implement this one or two.

If this matter succeeds, the Sage King's Dao undertaking will have been completed halfway in advance.

Additionally, regarding the battle in the barbaric regions, Zhang Jian also sensed an extraordinary qi mechanism, and thus prepared to discuss it with a few of the second-generation ancestral masters.

……

And when Zhang Jian passed through the heavenly earth gate to enter the Tongshan Dao Lineage.

A group of people, however, came from the southeastern provinces and entered the fertile lands of Dongzhou.

The members of this group all had extraordinary demeanor, their auras lively and pure; the leader was a lovely young woman in white robes, her clothes like snow, her figure graceful.

She walked in plain clothes.

In the cultivation world, cultivators, and even immortals, rarely wear white clothes.

Because white clothes usually represent ill omen, not ethereal transcendence.

Most cultivators possess immense power, but are not completely detached from the secular world; they likewise observe some secular rules.

At this moment, however, the white robes of this lovely young woman were embroidered with scattered silver patterns, her eyes lively, resembling a banished immortal.

This is precisely Ji Snow Qiong, the Seventh Mountain Master of the Heavenly Intent Sect.

Ji Snow Qiong's eyes swept over the lush green plain before her, and as she gazed ahead, the plain appeared like a piece of emerald gemstone inlaid upon the earth, everywhere filled with the atmosphere of hope and joy.

Upon the earth, imperial aura and dragon aura boiled like an ocean, the dragon aura restriction unprecedentedly dense.

The group had no identity credentials of the Great Xia Dynasty, so they could only abandon flying on mounts.

"Nine Cauldrons Barrier!"

Gazing at this scene, Ji Snow Qiong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly deep within.

They had not never seen the Nine Cauldrons Barrier.

After all, beneath the Tongshan Dao Lineage there were still other secular dynasties, as well as Sacred King Great Dao cultivators, but those who could increase the power of the Nine Cauldrons Barrier to such an astonishing degree were rare.

"Being able to suppress the barbarian wilderness demon lord, this Great Xia Emperor possessing such ability is only natural!"

Most of the group were the 'young' cultivators of the Heavenly Intention Sect.

Another part came from within the Ji family.

Since the Ji and Ying families prepared to cooperate with the Zhang clan, these 'young' ones also sensed the opportunity within, thus coming early to inspect.

Not long before, both the Heavenly Intention Sect and the Ji family inside and outside had received messages from the family and Dao lineage secret channels.

This Great Xia Emperor was suspected to have appeared in the Three Sacred States, in one breath taking the Three Sacred Palace and suppressing the barbarian wilderness demon lord.

Such news was shocking to heaven and earth for many Sacred King clans, let alone the true transmissions of immortal sects and Dao lineages.

The barbarian wilderness demon lord is a mythical existence; the dominance of such a myriad demons' leader need not be mentioned.

They had all come into contact with the Three Sacred Palace.

The Sacred King clans and immortal sect Dao lineages have all had dealings with them.

The might of the Vine Dragon demon commander and the Nine Infant demon commander—many true transmissions have heard of it, and even the numerous formidable old antiques of the Heavenly Intention Sect and Ji family, when facing them, failed to gain any advantage.

There are still several treasures within the Three Sacred Palace.

Now, someone actually took them all away in one go; naturally, they would also be curious.

Ji Snow Qiong's expression remained calm, and she did not gossip with the few Ji family cultivators beside her; at this moment, a cold voice came to her mind.

"Within and without the Zhou Mountain Realm, strong ones are few; being able to suppress perhaps enough to dominate the Zhou Mountain Realm, but if one falls outside the realm into the heavenly realm, it may not amount to much?"

"But since it is an innate emperor, it is still worth a look!"

"However, being an innate emperor, innate spiritual awareness abnormally sharp, to observe his fate and destiny requires extraordinary means; otherwise, it easily invites evil thoughts and karmic backlash!"

Ji Snow Qiong's eyes flickered.

She actually was not particularly interested in this point; she was more curious about the legendary experiences of this Great Xia Emperor.

After all, this is a deity in the process of growing into myth.

The group first entered the Dao Palace of Guangyuan Commandery to process their identity credentials, then came to Haojing City.

But along the way, all that was seen and heard still left many cultivators with a fresh sense of wonder.

The Great Xia Dynasty was founded less than a hundred years ago.

He did not fully follow the traditions of the immortal dynasties of the cultivation world, but instead used a completely new order to unify the secular world.

Immortals and mortals dwell separately.

Each follows their own path.

Mortals use mortal laws.

Cultivators possess cultivator laws, the two separated, orderly and clear.

And one immortal city market after another is established in places beyond the mundane, surrounded by spiritual mountains, spiritual fields, and many open areas for loose cultivators to reside, assisting the cultivators born of the Great Xia Dynasty to embark on the path of cultivation.

Among the many newly born immortal city markets, the Ji family and Heavenly Intention Sect cultivators also saw many good 'investment' opportunities.

Businesses that can earn spirit stones—most cultivators of immortal families and Dao lineages would not easily give up.

In fact, not every high-level cultivator of immortal sect Dao lineages relies on 'plundering' for survival.

In times of order stability, most cultivators of immortal sect Dao lineages still follow the rules of the cultivation world.

Only in the barbarian wilderness, or in the dark corners where numerous immortal sect Dao lineages cannot pay attention, does the law of the jungle prevail.

……

Zhang Jian's entry into the Tongshan Dao Lineage was unusually smooth.

After hearing Zhang Jian's purpose, the Sect Leader of Tongshan Dao Lineage, Floating Daoist, personally led Zhang Jian into the Ancestral Master Hall, obtaining another core fundamental transmission.

Within the Ancestral Master Hall, the Qingyuan Old Ancestor guarded there and also instructed Zhang Jian.

"A Yu, the divine path transmission is equally vast and profound, but the divine path and immortal path are different; this is two utterly different cultivation approaches; you must still weigh carefully, do not let it influence your path!"

Zhang Jian nodded.

The divine path lies in control, comprehending the subtleties of heavenly Dao laws, wielding the power of heaven and earth.

The immortal path lies in transcendence.

As an innate deity, Zhang Jian understands the distinction even more clearly.

He will not be easily disturbed.

Although he is an innate divine being in form, he merely uses this as a springboard to continue cultivating the immortal path as his main practice.

Innate divine path is merely auxiliary.

Auxiliary and cultivation, sparring.

It also has the effect of drawing parallels for one's own path.

Zhang Jian slightly nodded, thought for a moment, then said.

"Qingyuan Uncle-Grandmaster, does the Tongshan Dao Lineage internally have any divine path technique transmissions of second rank or above?"

Zhang Jian's expression was solemn; this was indeed the greatest purpose of his entering the Tongshan Dao Lineage this time.

What he lacks is not only the systematic divine path technique transmission, but also high-level divine path techniques.

Upon hearing this, the Qingyuan Old Ancestor was not surprised.

He smiled and said.

"It's not easy for you to have endured until now; the sect also has high-grade divine Dao techniques, and besides that, there are also immortal Dao technique inheritances of second rank and above, but the transmission of such techniques requires special conditions!"

"But what about the merit of qi contribution and a certain amount of spirit crystal compensation?"

Zhang Jian had long understood this point regarding ancestral qi.

Within the sect, obtaining technique inheritance and entering the Mountain-Sea Pavilion, the Horizon Pavilion, the Penglai Pavilion, and other establishments to purchase naturally differs.

Although both require payment, it is still much more humane.

The spirit crystals needed to compensate the sect are also much fewer.

Compared to spirit crystals, what is more is a symbolic payment toward part of the repair, improvement of cultivation methods, or the lineage of original Dao methods, paying a certain proportion of 'patent fee'.

This 'patent fee' will become a shared wealth that the disciples of this Dao lineage can mobilize.

The Qingyuan Ancestor nodded; he wore a green robe, his face serene and calm, and merely smiled.

"Your qi contribution merit is certainly sufficient; as for part of the spirit crystal cost, the sect will pay it for you, which also counts as support for you!"

Zhang Jian was unwilling to take such an advantage, and he did not lack those spirit crystals.

But to simply make up for it like this would be ungrateful to this uncle-ancestor's kindness; Zhang Jian thought for a moment and then said.

"In this way, Uncle-Ancestor, I have a lively treasure here; do you think you could buy it from me as this spirit crystal compensation fee?"

"A lively treasure?"

The Qingyuan Ancestor's mouth twitched slightly.

He faintly guessed what it might be.

Zhang Jian has recently been selling powerful demon clan members at a high frequency.

Sure enough, Zhang Jian waved his hand and produced a large chunk of black ice, throwing it before the Qingyuan Ancestor.

Within the large chunk of black ice, the Zhuyan Demon Lord was frozen inside, though the 'Jun Qian' he held in his hand had already vanished without a trace.

His body had also been stripped bare, with even his armor, stomach lining, and fur discarded in large parts.

Zhang Jian pointed at the Zhuyan Demon Lord within the black ice and smiled.

"Uncle-Ancestor Qingyuan, do you think he could serve as a treasure to compensate the sect?!"

The Qingyuan Ancestor gazed at this scene, his eyes twitching.

This Zhuyan Demon Lord was actually captured alive by Zhang Jian!

He glanced at this pitiful demon clan supreme being.

This is probably the most miserable among all past demon clan leaders.

A being who had touched the threshold of the Taiyi realm, and naturally, as the son of the demon emperor, his value is immense.

Know that the Stone Emperor, upon entering the heavenly realm, achieved greatness not easily; if this could serve as a trade condition, the gain would certainly not be small.

The Qingyuan Ancestor immediately did not refuse, smiling.

"The leader of all demons, of extraordinary value, this is a great gift!"

He then waved his hand and stored this demon lord into his sleeve.

Zhang Jian then immediately mentioned matters concerning the Divine Land together.

Zhang Jian's mention was very subtle, but the Qingyuan Ancestor still discerned his intention, and he said.

"A Yu, you need not worry about this; I and my fellow martial brothers, along with the other eight lineages, are currently re-discussing this matter, and believe good news will come soon!"

Within the Tongshan Dao lineage, there are actually still some obstacles regarding this matter, after all, it concerns the interests of many sect disciples.

But with the support of these several second-generation ancestral masters, these opposing voices will soon be suppressed!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes brightened.

To gain the full support of the Tongshan Dao lineage, to take control of the Eastern Xuan Divine Land without bloodshed, that would be the best situation.

However, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is naturally that he can unify the Divine Land in the shortest time; the disadvantage is that it will reduce the influence of the Great Xia Dynasty in various regions.

After all, it is not a江山 won by relying on one's own fists; many local interests are intertwined and complex, possibly unable to undergo sweeping reforms.

However, Zhang Jian also has patience.

With him present, he will eventually be able to suppress everything.

But now that he has this good news, he can temporarily delay the ancestral sacrifice.

After the Divine Land is unified, performing the ancestral sacrifice later is also not too late.

Finally, Zhang Jian then asked about the abnormal conditions in heaven and earth!
