Chapter 564: Listed on the Upper Seat (4k)

This Nine Revolutions Chaotic Azure Lotus Transformation and Birth Great Dharma is based on the Five Heavens Innate Five Wheels Revolving Method, and also incorporates part of the core profundity of the Innate Creation Azure Lotus; in fact, it has already evolved into an Innate Divine Ability.

As for the specific level, Zhang Jian cannot determine it.

But it can be confirmed that it has reached the level of Eternal Dao Law.

As for what kind of power it will have in the future, it still needs to depend on Zhang Jian's cultivation and comprehension.

Zhang Jian did not rush to leave seclusion; protected by the Chaotic Giant Egg, he is safe at this moment, but once he emerges, he can be certain that he will definitely be attacked by other hidden immortal deities.

Who made him so conspicuous?

He needs to wait for an opportunity.

Wait for the trial in the Jade Pool to enter the next stage.

In the Jade Pool, at this moment, some Dao Lords are gradually unable to keep up with the other immortals and deities, and they have actively withdrawn the Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds emanating from their bodies.

They have gone from participants to spectators.

After withdrawing from this Dao Fruit Auspicious Cloud collision, many Dao Lords also felt relieved.

Interacting with so many powerful beings, countless Dao Lords' Dao Fruits colliding, they bear a pressure greater than that of many fish in the Jade Pool.

Moreover, they face a dilemma: their Great Dao has been elucidated to its end, and they have already been pointed out by the two supreme beings; naturally, there is no need to stubbornly persist.

And the appearance of another situation has caused many Dao Lords to retreat due to difficulty.

The Dao Lords of several factions have gradually shifted from pure Dao lectures to factional confrontation.

From Dao Law, to Dao cultivation, and then to the stage of Divine Abilities competition.

The two supreme beings today summoned many Dao Lords to the Jade Pool feast, more for the purpose of dividing the cake.

It's just that martial combat has turned into literary debate.

At this moment, one sees the Dao Lords of the Three Teachings continuously releasing the profound mysteries from the depths of their Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds, evolving the secret wondrous methods of the Three Teachings; however, the Buddha of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, as well as many other immortal deities and Dao Lords, are unwilling to give up.

This concerns the undertaking of great endeavors.

The final victor will also obtain the authority to undertake expansion.

At this moment, the contest in the depths of the Jade Pool is gradually becoming heated; one sees deep within the Qingxian Immortal Light, a heroic youth clad in silver armor battle robes, behind whom vast immortal light manifests, condensing into a terrifying war god wielding a three-pronged two-edged spear; on his brow, a magnificent heavenly eye opens, and strands of immortal light rush swiftly toward the distant magnificent golden light world, as if freezing all void energy; at his side, two strands of immortal light respond to each other, one transforming into boundless thunder that shatters the heavens.

Another transforms into countless dream butterflies; the three intertwine, and their coordination is fairly tacit.

However, this kind of movement is also the reason why other Dao Lords choose to retreat on their own.

Although this is only aided by the Jade Pool's simulative ability, it is almost close to martial combat.

However, the Kunlun Heavenly Realm clearly does not hold an advantage; this time, the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss seems to have come prepared, and has also recruited many renowned Dao Lords from overseas.

The Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss seems to have received the news in advance, and has reached a mutual benefit exchange with these overseas Dao Lords.

As a result, the number of Dao Lords standing on the side of the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is not small; otherwise, during the Kunlun Heavenly Realm's recruitment, they would have remained neutral.

Many Dao Lords begin to watch from the sidelines.

In the depths of the 'Jade Pool,' many fish are overturned in heaven and earth by the tremendous power generated from the collision of anomalous omens of the Dao Lords' Dao Fruits.

Destructive power erupts from the numerous collisions and intertwining immortal light, as if the entire Jade Pool, inside and out, is pierced by chaotic and disordered force.

The wandering 'great fish' each seek a place to hide in the 'Jade Pool,' either hiding among chunks of turbid divine stone, or lingering slowly in a part of the Jade Pool's murky currents.

"The opportunity has come!"

Zhang Jian feels this change, but actively withdraws the protective power of the Chaotic Giant Egg.

The power of Chaotic Transformation and Birth is sufficient to dispel all kinds of chaotic and disorderly divine light, immortal light, and Buddhist light impacts; moreover, the diamond-like dragon scales also possess terrifying defensive power, capable of resisting chaotic and disorderly immortal light impacts.

Strands of chaotic-colored qi disperse, still circulating around Zhang Jian's body, and have not yet dissipated.

After slightly adapting, he immediately transforms into flowing light and rushes toward some slow-flowing areas of the Jade Pool.

He estimates that some immortals and deities will certainly take advantage of the terrain here to avoid immortal light impacts; this precisely gives him opportunities to break them individually.

The form of the 'Dragon Fish' that Zhang Jian has transformed into is very concealed in the undercurrents.

The application of the Innate Divine Ability Golden Lotus Hidden Breath Method allows his figure to move without any ripples.

At this moment, relying on the magnificent Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit, he has already perceived the scene deep in the circulation area.

Contrary to his expectation, this exchange area actually has five or six 'great fish' swimming within it, appearing to have formed a temporary offensive-defensive alliance.

Zhang Jian's eyes sweep over them, but he pays no attention.

The Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit, after being tempered by the Nine Revolutions Chaotic Azure Lotus Transformation and Birth Great Dharma, whether it is the Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit itself or the toughness of the dragon scales, has been greatly enhanced; moreover, the chaotic qi flow manifested by the Nine Revolutions Chaotic Azure Lotus Transformation and Birth Great Dharma provides defense, and he fears no group attack.

However, to reduce trouble, Zhang Jian still decides to adopt the most effortless method.

His eyes first lock onto the silver great fish near the outer edge of the slow-flow area.

The body of this silver great fish is covered all over with intense starlight and starlight; it is likely the transformation of some Star Lord.

Zhang Jian has no grudge with the Star Lords, but now he cannot attend to that.

Zhang Jian notices that its body is also about six zhang in size.

However, compared to Zhang Jian, who has now expanded to nearly double, approaching three zhang in diamond-colored Dragon Fish form, there is still a difference.

He directly locks onto this silver great fish; his figure is like a diamond-bright electric light, flashing instantly through the void.

"Be careful!"

At this moment, in the center, a black great fish nearly three zhang in size suddenly opens its mouth to warn.

But it is already too late.

Yet one sees the formless electric light flash past; the true body of the silver great fish is instantly pierced by the formless electric light, its entire form collapsing directly; simultaneously, a chaotic vortex is born in the pool, instantly swallowing clean the broken body of the silver great fish.

This scene causes the faces of the other five great fish to change color.

"Damn it!"

"Bold!"

The other five great fish instantly swing their bodies, transforming into flowing light and rushing forward; their bodies each erupt with special divine power, magnificent and vast.

Even though their fish bodies limit their divine abilities, their combat consciousness and tactical thinking are top-notch.

It's just that these are not very effective in the face of absolute power.

After Zhang Jian devoured that silver giant fish, layers of diamond-like radiance burst forth from his entire body; upon close inspection, countless chaotic-colored Dao patterns emerged, directly refining the devoured power and integrating it into his body.

His form once again transformed into an invisible streak as he shot toward a blue fish, but this time he was besieged by four other giant fish, with streams of immortal light bursting from his surroundings and charging toward Zhang Jian.

Yet one saw layers of chaotic-colored Dao patterns flowing around Zhang Jian's body; a single impact was enough to directly dismantle the encirclement, but the speed of that blue wandering fish was extremely swift, clearly indicating a powerful deity adept in wind attributes.

By the Jade Pool, at this moment many female immortals watched this scene, yet there was some change in their eyes.

Others did not recognize this immortal deity, but they were not unfamiliar with her.

This is the Wind Mother.

The Wind Mother's status in the Heavenly Court is not low, yet no one expected her to be pursued to such a predicament by Zhang Jian.

But regarding this scene, many female immortals of the Jade Pool showed a different hue in their eyes, and some even gloated.

Especially the Hundred Flowers Immortal and the Hundred Herbs Immortal, watching this scene, had smiles in their eyes.

When those two immortals fell into the mortal realm that day, the Tai Yin Immortal was the mastermind, but this Wind Mother was also an accomplice.

Had it not been for the two of them, during the previous Queen Mother's birthday celebration, using schemes to force the Hundred Flowers Immortal to swear an oath, ultimately resulting in the oath's backlash, the Hundred Flowers blooming out of season, the Hundred Flowers Immortal would not have suffered the heavenly demon tribulation and been forced to reincarnate.

The fate of the Hundred Herbs Immortal was much the same.

Therefore, seeing the Wind Mother being pursued by Zhang Jian in such distress, naturally they were overjoyed.

"His strength has increased quite noticeably!"

At this moment, Tai Ming Dao Jun's eyes flickered.

The other few Dao Jun remained expressionless, but they could all see this.

If previously Zhang Jian could indeed suppress the Wind Mother, he certainly would not have been able to crush her completely.

Clearly having comprehended part of the marvels of the Nine Turns Mysterious Technique, he underwent another transformation, and his cultivation increased significantly.

Moreover, they keenly sensed that Zhang Jian still harbored secrets.

Otherwise, comprehending only part of the Nine Turns Mysterious Technique's marvels could not have allowed Zhang Jian's cultivation to leap so dramatically in such a short time.

Qing Xia Dao Jun stood aside, her expression calm; she had long anticipated all of this.

However, Qing Xia Dao Jun could also foresee that after this Jade Pool gathering, Zhang Jian would likely offend many immortals...

In Qing Xia Dao Jun's sight, only Zhang Jian's diamond fish incarnation was seen stirring up a bloody storm within the Jade Pool.

Streams of flowing light flew out from the 'Jade Pool' and subsequently entered the fleshly bodies of one immortal after another.

Among those 'slain' by Zhang Jian were many immortals from key departments of the Heavenly Court.

The Wind Mother was one of them, along with numerous Heavenly Kings, Heavenly Commanders, and department heads.

However, there are losses as well as gains.

Besides Zhang Jian, there were also several powerful immortals who slaughtered in all directions, including the majestic immortal of the Kunlun Heavenly Realm, the transcendent immortal of the Taiqing Heavenly Realm, and also a slaughter deity of the Heavenly Court, drenched in blood, with extremely heavy killing intent.

Furthermore, there was also a Buddha from the Western Pure Land, whose divine powers were wondrous.

Moreover, there were many powerful beings under the command of ancient Dao Jun who revealed their own divine powers.

And when, in the depths of the Jade Pool, only ten giant fish remained, the Jade Pool Holy Mother waved her hand and scattered a nine-colored divine light, which fell into the Jade Pool.

The ten giant fish flew out from within, and in an instant fell into the void.

Light manifested, and dozens of figures resumed their true forms.

"It's over!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian gazed at the crowd, his eyes showing some surprise.

At this moment, another nine immortals manifested beside him; these nine immortals either wore dark red battle armor, their bodies covered in intense killing aura, resembling descending slaughter stars,

or had ethereal forms, resembling exiled immortals of the Nine Heavens, transcendent and worldly, their bodies covered in a layer of intense Taiqing immortal light,

or bore long swords, with sharp sword qi,

or had solemn expressions, with faint lightning flickering around their bodies, the immortal light of utmost yang and utmost hardness flowing,

or had graceful postures and extraordinary bearing,

and there was also one who had attained complete enlightenment in Bodhi, a Buddha whose Buddha-light flowed, with cultivation like a vast sea surrounding his body.

Zhang Jian's gaze swept over; he had stayed in the Heavenly Court for so long, yet he still knew many immortals.

He recognized most of these nine people.

The one wearing dark red battle armor was the Heavenly Court's Chi Yuan Slaughter God, a war god risen from the Heavenly Soldiers Camp, who achieved perfection through slaughter, and naturally also oversaw the most dangerous warfare, the authority over killing.

His merits were illustrious.

This Chi Yuan Slaughter God had an unusually cold expression.

Yet at this moment, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Jian.

Just moments ago, at the end, the two had met, but they had not yet had time to engage in collision before the trial in the depths of the Jade Pool ended.

Both felt that they would have another chance to clash in the future.

As for the immortal whose body flowed with Taiqing immortal light, he was Yu Chen Jun, a gentleman-like figure as pure as jade, and also a legend of another heavenly realm.

Although his foundation was not as miraculous as Zhang Jian's, he was nonetheless not to be underestimated.

His nature was lofty and far-reaching; he had long been praised by the Dao Jun of the Taiqing Heavenly Realm's Great Luo Dao Palace as a seed of Dao Jun.

Moreover, from the Kunlun Heavenly Realm, Qing Hua Dao Ren of the Jade Void Dao Palace.

The sword immortal holding a sword was Xuan Tian Jun, originating from the Shangqing Dao Palace of the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Realm.

And that Buddha was a renowned Buddha from the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Buddha of Virtue, Merit, and Blessings, whose cultivation was extremely strong, having already taken five steps in the Taiyi Great Perfection realm, and upon completing the sixth step, would immediately assault the Great Calamity of Destruction.

As for that female immortal, she was the female immortal of the Overseas Penglai Dao Palace, known as Miao Ling Immortal Maiden.

Moreover, there was Chong Hua Tian Jun from the Central Heavenly Realm, said to be a descendant of a certain heavenly emperor, and also an innate deity born among the heavenly-human race, who had reversed his innate endowment, possessing exceptionally high aptitude.

And at this moment, within the Hall of Light, vast divine light swelled intensely, as two streams resembling the Heavenly Dao itself burst forth with nine-colored divine light, the grand Dao rhythms of the many battles gradually dissipated, and within, a result had already been divided.

At this moment, deep in the void, a heavenly sound emerged from the void.

"The result has already appeared, congratulations to you all for becoming the last ten immortals and deities of Yaochi. You may take your seats at the upper table shortly, and after the assembly concludes, you may enter the divine precincts of this palace—this palace shall bestow generous rewards upon you!"

A slight pause, and this heavenly voice carried emotion for the first time.

"Furthermore, this palace will also grant you ten a small additional condition, but do not be too greedy—what you gain often comes at a cost; think it through yourselves!"

"Thank you, Holy Mother!"

Upon hearing this, the ten immortals and deities revealed expressions of joy in their eyes.

Even Zhang Jian felt a hint of joy stir in his heart.

It seems he will soon have his wish fulfilled this time.

Yet the Holy Mother of Yaochi's final words still caused Zhang Jian to feel a trace of doubt arise in his heart.

After the ten immortals and deities rejoiced, they all withdrew.

But before withdrawing, the ten immortals and deities exchanged glances, and in their eyes lingered some unusual hues—after all, they, including Zhang Jian, had prepared themselves for a life-or-death duel.

After retiring into Yaochi, the ten immediately stepped into the Hall of Radiant Chambers, though they were still seated at the lowest places among the various Dao Lords.

Zhang Jian noticed that on the lowest seats, there were also several immortals and deities who were not Dao Lords in cultivation.

These immortals and deities possessed extraordinary bearing.

There were both men and women!

But in an instant, Zhang Jian's gaze was drawn to the sight above the hall, for at this moment the Holy Mother of Yaochi had already announced the opening of the feast, and numerous female immortals emerged from one side of the great hall, each holding in her hands precisely that divine object famed throughout the world—the Yaochi banquet.

The Yaochi Flat Peaches.

Yet the flat peaches enjoyed by the Dao Lords on the upper seats differed from those of the middle and lower seats.

These were nine-thousand-year-old purple-veined flat peaches!
