Chapter 510: For the Continuation of the Learning of the Sages (Part 1) (4K)

Zhang Jian clearly felt that the cosmic dimensional law net manifested by the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State had become even more stringent, and its transformation more agile.

Operational efficiency greatly increased.

This change caused the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State's ability to surge.

This is a genuine improvement.

Once a battle of laws begins, these changes will become the final straw that breaks the camel's back in combat.

"It's a pity His Majesty the Agricultural Emperor has reservations about these two characters!"

Three hundred years later, Zhang Jian slightly opened his eyes, with a hint of emotion in their depths.

This might be a casual note left by the Agricultural Emperor, not infused with much true intent.

Simply being able to gain something, Zhang Jian is already quite satisfied.

With a wave of his hand, a layer of nine-colored divine light formed around him, eventually condensing into a complete scroll.

Gazing at the scroll in his hand, Zhang Jian gradually found the direction for the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State's advancement.

After the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, his natal immortal method, advanced to the fifth stage, he should next elevate the two main trunks—great earth and life and death—of its natal immortal method to the fifth stage, then the branches, such as the Great Method of Roaming the Grand Void, the Five Dragons True Canon, the Great Method of Taiyin Refinement, the Great Method of the Golden Crow's Fission, the Innate Yin-Yang Two Modalities Annihilating Divine Light, the Great Method of the Yellow Court's Blessed Land, the Great Method of Nine Revolutions' Ruyi Time and Space, and so on.

Having reached this state with the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, he gradually found a clear path for advancement.

Taking the great earth and state as yang, and reincarnation as yin, their union, assisted by the Taiji, yin-yang, three powers, four symbols, five elements, and other heavenly and earthly transformations.

One gives rise to two and three; three gives rise to all things.

Vast virtue bears all things.

The Dao fruit of the Earth Emperor will surely be perfected, thereby possessing the supreme foundation to probe the profound mysteries of the Dao Sovereign.

However, Zhang Jian feels this insight is still too general.

For example, in the main principle of the Great Earth and State path, he can use the Sovereign of Earth and State as the foundation; on the side of the Great Dao of Reincarnation's main trunk, what kind of position and occupation should he condense, or perhaps it is the sovereign, immortal fruit, to form the two extremes of yin and yang.

Moreover, for other immortal methods, how should he begin, and how should he combine them to perfect the Dao fruit of the Earth Emperor?

Zhang Jian believes this is a path that many Taiyi Divine Number strong cultivators need to concretely consider.

Carrying many thoughts, Zhang Jian instantly arrived at one side of the library pavilion.

Having entered this place by heavenly fortune, he naturally would not miss this great opportunity.

This is indeed the former residence of the ancient sage emperor, the Agricultural Emperor.

The Agricultural Emperor's collection cannot be simple; since he can view it, he cannot just leave.

However, before entering the study, Zhang Jian thought and still clasped his hands.

"The junior learner Zhang Jian has now arrived at the former residence of the Holy Emperor; the younger generation wishes to borrow and read the classics in the library pavilion. For any impropriety, I beg the Agricultural Emperor's forgiveness!"

"

Many rituals are not blameworthy.

Zhang Jian knows that the ancient sage emperor will surely perceive these changes.

After performing the rites, seeing no movement before the quiet chamber, Zhang Jian, as before, took the Agricultural Emperor's silent acquiescence as permission to enter the library pavilion.

He then stepped inside.

Looking around, this quiet chamber resembled an ordinary hermit's book collection, with many bamboo slips, stone tablets, and even jade slips and paper books neatly stacked in the room.

However, upon closer inspection, this quiet chamber clearly employed the secret method of the Sumeru Mustard Seed Ring.

Those bamboo slips and stone tablets contain another universe within, more like a large series of books integrated together.

That tiny quiet chamber is like a vast ocean of books, with countless knowledge listed and piled up.

With so much knowledge, even Zhang Jian feels shaken to the core.

In the depths of Zhang Jian's eyes, intense divine light shines; divine weapons and tools, he actually does not care much for.

As a "small-town exam-taker," a "study-obsessed" cultivator, his thirst for knowledge surpasses everything.

His vast primordial spirit opened, instantly penetrating part of the classics.

Shortly after, he opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

The Agricultural Emperor's collected books are numerous, with few techniques and methods, but mainly focused on "great principles," especially classics on fire, elixirs, and medicinal material research.

Moreover, the Agricultural Emperor's collected classics are also very miscellaneous.

Zhang Jian noticed that part of the classics born from the birth of the heavenly void are also collected here.

Including genetic biology, and even some star river world books.

Although Zhang Jian is not highly accomplished in alchemy, he finds this very enjoyable.

Because it involves profound heavenly creation mysteries.

Especially the method of revolving creation.

In Zhang Jian's Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, there is also a third-stage immortal method called the "True Canon of Wood Virtue Creation"; by this he also gained a glimpse into the gate of creation, and later obtained the Pearl of Primordial Birth and Extinction.

The two great Dao authorities contained in the Pearl of Primordial Birth and Extinction are creation and destruction.

At this time, obtaining the marvel of revolving creation, the two marvels mutually verify each other; Zhang Jian only feels his understanding of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Creation is rising in a straight line.

He directly used the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State to evolve the various marvels of revolving creation.

As if billions of mountains and rivers gathered together, countless heavenly creations swept forth with his thought.

The law of the Great Dao of Creation seems to permeate all things in heaven and earth, closely related to the changes of yin-yang, five elements, and myriad phenomena.

In a single thought, heaven and earth are transformed.

The great earth bears all things with vast virtue, and also possesses creative power.

This thread of creation can likewise supplement the entry into the Earth Emperor's Dao fruit, serving as a secondary main trunk of the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State.

Zhang Jian simply used the method of revolving creation to directly replace the third-stage immortal method, the True Canon of Wood Virtue Creation, within it.

The refining power of the method of revolving creation is stronger and more domineering than the scattered soul true fire he previously obtained.

Zhang Jian felt that, with his comprehension of the Great Dao of Creation's law.

Inside the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, numerous heavenly and earthly treasures were further integrated into the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State.

The "Heart of Dimension," "Zhou Tian Star Soul," "Reincarnation Divine Stone," "Innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed," and "Hunyuan Shengzhu Pearl."

The power of the "Zhou Tian Star Soul" was completely fused into Zhang Jian's innate primordial spirit at this moment, nourishing his innate primordial spirit; next, the "Innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed" was nearly half-integrated into the Great Yin Refinement Grand Method, a fourth-rank immortal method, prompting it to approach a fifth-rank immortal method.

Deep within the structure of the Great Yin Refinement Grand Method, the Innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed seemed to be directly inlaid within it, condensed into a form of the Yin Yang Emperor's Dharma Body, causing its entire body to shine like a beautiful bright moon, capable of soaring forth at any moment.

However, I only felt that the potential of the Innate Yin Yang Law Dao Seed was far from exhausted here.

Its potential remains great; even if it transforms into a fifth-rank immortal method, it will still retain immense surplus power.

And replacing the position of the Luan Xing Sword Decree, within the fourth-rank immortal method Zhou Tian Star Chart, after Zhang Jian completely fused with the Zhou Tian Star Soul, a majestic Zhou Tian Star Emperor Dharma Image coalesced into form, as if suppressing the ages.

As for the Heart of Dimension, it was like the two poles of yin and yang slowly drawing in the Great Yin Blessed Land Grand Method and the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Time Wheel Sutra, the Eight Extremes of Time and Space; likewise, within it, a Dharma Image of a Time and Space Emperor was gradually being born, but because this combined-type method structure had never been fully stabilized, the Dharma Image of the Eight Extremes Emperor had not yet coalesced into form.

The "Reincarnation Divine Stone" was gradually being integrated into the fourth-rank immortal method Nine Nether Life and Death Golden Chapter, within which a Dharma Image of a Nine Nether Emperor was also being nurtured.

This Nine Nether Emperor began to occupy the main trunk of the life-and-death side of the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and the State, followed by the Nine Nether Corpse Transformation Proper Method and the Minor Heavens Reincarnation Method.

As for the "Hunyuan Shengzhu Pearl," although it influenced the "Turning Creation" immortal method recently comprehended, the time was short, and it had not yet been deeply refined.

Seeing some gains, Zhang Jian swept his gaze around, knowing the opportunity was rare.

Only to see him surrounded by dreamlike divine light flowing and falling; in an instant, the depths of the void seemed to manifest hundreds of Tai Xu Spirit Bodies, one after another Tai Xu lights falling in all directions, comprehending the various classics within this study, these classics being of great help to Zhang Jian in further perfecting Turning Creation and comprehending their essence.

The essence of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao Laws is fundamentally a series of systematic disciplines, progressing from shallow to deep.

Only with a solid foundation can one fully master them.

At this moment, the Dream Roaming Tai Xu Grand Method, a fourth-rank immortal method, was also considered to have been fully utilized by Zhang Jian.

Three hundred years later, Zhang Jian walked out of the study, his expression still carrying some reluctance and regret.

Although most of the knowledge within this study was extremely precious, the vast majority of it had not involved the third tier, that is, the Taiyi level.

Many profound Great Dao Laws of the Taiyi level could no longer be carried by ordinary jade slips or common containers; they required immortal treasures, or special heavenly and earthly treasures, or divine positions, or innate talismans, etc.

But Zhang Jian also felt that his gains were immense.

"It seems the overtime task assigned by His Majesty the Farm Emperor here may not be completed!"

Zhang Jian secretly thought.

After reading through the numerous classics inside and outside the study, Zhang Jian also noticed part of the hidden reward tasks of the Farm Emperor's former residence.

Most of them were related to alchemy, such as refining a pill never before seen in the myriad heavens and void, or refining several pills capable of completely curing the insect plague in the medicine garden, or pills that increase the survival rate of spiritual roots.

Zhang Jian's attainment in alchemy was truly not high.

Thus, he had no chance to obtain such hidden rewards.

"What a pity!"

Zhang Jian secretly thought, but just as he was about to leave a withered tree, his eyes flickered darkly, and with a raise of his hand, a cyan-green divine light burst forth from his hand.

Upon the withered tree, which had been dead and driven away, gradually a hint of green light washed over it; in an instant, iron-like leaves appeared on the branches, their veins showing a gray-brown texture, like stone.

Even more so on the crown, flower buds appeared.

This is a Great Wasteland Iron Tree.

Born from the acquired Geng Metal origin.

The so-called iron tree flowering refers precisely to this spiritual root.

But now, it suddenly shifted from death to life.

In the blink of an eye, it reversed its life and death.

This is the dual application of Turning Creation and the Nine Nether Life and Death Golden Chapter.

Turning Creation can only achieve the recombination of matter and alter the form of life, but cannot revive dead life; that is the power of the Nine Nether Life and Death Golden Chapter.

In a moment, Zhang Jian drifted away.

And after he left, Hong Yun's figure appeared, gazing at the reborn Great Wasteland Iron Tree, with some astonishment in his eyes.

The Farm Emperor's study is under his management, so he can naturally enter it often.

He knows the Farm Emperor has recently been studying the Great Dao of Creation, but never expected that this Human Emperor, in such a short time, would completely integrate the resources collected by the Farm Emperor and produce results.

The other party's comprehension is truly astonishing.

Among the innate deities, he also belongs to the extremely exaggerated oddity.

At this moment, Zhang Jian stepped forward into the first Fire Cloud Wall.

That is a stone platform.

The stone platform is located in the valley behind the refined abode.

Before it, light mist swirled, and the vast fog connecting heaven and earth sealed the forward direction; around it were layered misty peaks and dangerous peaks, the dangerous peaks similarly shrouded in clouds and mist for the most part, even capable of obscuring the five senses and spiritual awareness of those at the Taiyi True Number level.

At this moment, Zhang Jian, following the rule prompts, waved his hand and transformed his self-created Great Yin Refinement Grand Method into a stream of ice crystal, which merged into the stone platform.

After a moment, the stone platform faintly emitted divine light, and in an instant, the ice crystal vanished.

The stone platform before him also faintly emitted divine light, a layer of white mist sealing it, which then disappeared in a flash.

A blue stone small path emerged from the great fog.

Zhang Jian's expression tightened, and he immediately stepped into it.

Gradually, in the depths of the valley, another entirely different scene emerged.

At this moment, Zhang Jian already had a guess in his heart; upon a glance, there was no surprise.

That was also just a solitary small courtyard.

Around it were entirely vast plains.

The style of that small courtyard was clearly somewhat different from the Farm Emperor's former residence.

It was primarily made of stone, more rugged, filled with a sense of wilderness and primitiveness.

Zhang Jian glanced at it, and a faint guess stirred in his heart.

He knew this might be the place where the Human Emperor Xuanyuan the Great once dwelled in seclusion.

On that rooftop, he saw a yellow dragon flag.

Only the Human Emperor Xuanyuan the Great Emperor would use the yellow dragon flag as his totem.

Zhang Jian already knew how to pass through this second wall of fire clouds.

Likewise, it required a self-created immortal art.

However, it was a fifth-rank immortal art.

This difficulty was obviously much higher.

Zhang Jian had reason to believe that many emperors whose cultivation had not reached a certain level were blocked before this second wall of fire clouds, and ultimately stopped here.

After all, it was a fifth-rank immortal art.

Fifth-rank immortal arts involve the profound mysteries of the Great Accomplishment Dao Fruit level.

Ordinary emperors entering here are mostly in the Taiyi realm; how could they possibly create a fifth-rank immortal art?

Even powerful immortals and gods like Zhang Jian, who are at the Taiyi True Number level, are quite formidable.

Without preparation, at least many years would be spent to accomplish this.

But following the old custom, Zhang Jian first entered the Human Emperor's secluded dwelling, 'Zhanyan', for a look.

However, what made Zhang Jian somewhat regretful was that this Xuanyuan Majesty did not have the 'excellent' preference like the Agricultural Emperor.

There was no study at all.

The Human Emperor Majesty obviously did not greatly enjoy studying.

After merely walking around the small courtyard built of stone, Zhang Jian, a moment later, had a brand-new discovery.

He discovered an ancient well in the center of the small courtyard.

From the depths of the ancient well, spring water gurgled forth.

The spring water was five-colored.

In his eyes, the spring water actually manifested an unusually special innate qi mechanism!

Upon slight perception, Zhang Jian's eyes showed astonishment; this was actually the most concentrated innate five-element essence qi transformed from heaven and earth, within which lay the qi mechanism of the source of the innate five-element great Dao laws, as if the spirits of the innate five elements had converged here.

"There's even such a good thing!"

Zhang Jian's eyes brightened, and he immediately wanted to step forward, but then he saw within the ancient well a sudden burst of fierce sword qi flying out, which in an instant transformed into a golden-yellow golden divine sword floating before Zhang Jian.

The sword qi broke through space, carrying a meaning of grandeur and vastness.

Zhang Jian raised his head and body; his expression moved slightly, his body swayed minutely, and in an instant he appeared ten thousand zhang away.

However, he noticed that the sword intent above his head followed him like a shadow, seemingly unavoidable no matter where he was.

This was a conceptual sword qi, penetrating through time and space, even extending to causality.

Zhang Jian's mind stirred; facing this conceptual killing method, naturally he could resolve it with the same means.

Fourth-rank immortal arts, or even fifth-rank immortal arts, all contain a portion of conceptual power, sufficient to dispel such sword qi.

With a wave of his hand, behind him appeared as if a majestic figure, a path of fierce red light shot up into the sky, instantly melting the golden-yellow sword qi.

Rings of golden-red light appeared on his palms and arms, like lively dragons and snakes flowing.

This was his second fifth-rank immortal art, the Flame Emperor's Blazing World Method.

This method was comprehended from the Flame Emperor's Attainment of the Dao Diagram; it is the Flame Emperor's secret learning.

And simultaneously, at the bottom of the well, a golden-yellow sword shadow slowly flew out from within.

One side engraved with the sun, moon, and stars; the other side engraved with mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees. The hilt one side inscribed with the techniques of farming and animal husbandry, the other side inscribed with the strategy of unifying the four seas; within it lay hidden boundless power!

Gazing at this terrifying divine artifact, Zhang Jian's mouth corners twitched slightly, his face showing astonishment!

The ancient divine artifact, the Xuanyuan Sword!
