Chapter 586: Jellyfish (4K)===GLOSSARY===

Even at this moment, the illusory shadow of the Chaos Primal Ocean began to condense above his head, countless cold currents surging forward.

Although the first Xuanming Sovereign has long since fallen, the Xuanming Primal Qi still holds a pivotal position among ice-attribute primal qi.

Although he has relinquished the position of chief, he still occupies a central position.

But at this moment, a grand purple-yellow divine diagram emanated from Zhang Jian's body, the purple-yellow divine light enveloping the Eternal Forbidden Zone, suppressing this fluctuation and even bewildering many immortals and deities within the ice fortresses.

Zhang Jian watched this scene, yet his gaze flickered.

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to secure a patron for Fourth Lady, or perhaps take on a master!"

With the esteemed status of the second Xuanming Sovereign, taking refuge under a great divine adept should not be difficult.

Otherwise, given the Bai clan's current strength, once the position of Xuanming Sovereign is exposed, it would easily attract the covetous gazes of other immortals and deities, possibly even drawing powerful extradimensional demon gods.

After all, the status of the Xuanming Sovereign involves too much.

Besides the inheritance right of an immensely powerful innate primal qi, there are several special primal divine offices, as well as other additional benefits brought by the divine position, such as fortune, possibly even reversing the body of innate deities, etc.

Among these, fortune is the most deadly.

Especially since it is an endless stream of fortune.

Holding the primal divine office naturally brings an endless stream of great fortune, and merit can also be obtained.

Even lying flat yields endless benefits; although this position cannot compare to the Sun Star or Yin Star, it truly makes people envious.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's mind flashed with many thoughts, and at this moment he stepped into the side hall of the Eternal Ice Crystal Divine Palace.

At this moment in the side hall, a snow-white thousand-zhang divine dragon emerged from within, she seeming to have been born from ice and snow, her entire body suffused with a grand and vast power, the Datiuan Xuanming Primal Qi faintly resonating with her and continuously merging.

The divine dao fluctuations emanating from her had already reached the level of Taiyi Heavenly Immortal.

Although only initially merging with the Xuanming divine position, Bai Liying's cultivation remains merely in the Taiyi realm, but her divine dao realm has reached the level of Taiyi Heavenly Immortal.

However, as the Xuanming divine power flowing around Bai Liying intensifies with the fusion, it will continue to expand.

This divine position differs from the one Zhang Jian controls.

This is the inherited divine dao authority; from the moment of inheritance, it represents that the divine dao authority will rise continuously with control, until reaching its limit.

Whereas similar to the state and land authority Zhang Jian previously controlled, as well as the Earth Emperor authority, only requires personal cultivation and striving.

The peak period of the Xuanming divine position is the Dao Lord level, possibly even the Dao Venerable level.

Therefore, after Bai Liying completes the fusion, the divine dao authority may reach this level.

But such inherited authority is a test of the degree of fusion.

If one's own strength is weak, the increase in fusion depth will not be rapid.

At this moment, within the snow-white Datiuan Xuanming Primal Qi, the thousand-zhang Xuanming True Dragon's body light shifted, transforming into a tall, graceful, beautiful dragon maiden, she wearing a white gauze robe, snow and ice divine power surging around her, her eyes holding some joy.

"Your Majesty!"

Merely considering herself, she still cannot freely control the authority of the Xuanming Sovereign, so she dares not rashly step forward.

Zhang Jian, upon seeing this scene, smiled faintly and said.

"Fourth Lady, congratulations on your initial fusion with the Xuanming divine position, successfully assuming the Winter God divine office!"

Bai Liying's star-like pupils shimmered with radiant light.

"If not for Your Majesty bestowing this opportunity, I would not dare imagine being able to assume the Winter God authority and become the Winter God of all heavens and myriad worlds!"

This Winter God authority of hers is not that of one heavenly realm or one dimension, but includes all heavens and myriad worlds.

Thus it is called a primal divine office.

She can clearly sense the greatness of the Winter God divine office.

Zhang Jian, at this moment gazing at the vast divine power emanating from her body, then immediately said.

"Merely during the fusion, you must also not forget that the power you can control is truly your own!"

Zhang Jian at this moment fell into some contemplation; Bai Liying's current cultivation mainly relies on his guidance, and in fact he could be considered Bai Liying's guide on the path.

But he ultimately does not follow the ice-attribute path as his main focus, so he cannot teach Bai Liying how to choose her own path.

Without a worthy elder to rely on, and lacking communication, Bai Liying's state cannot be sustained long-term, also lacking foresight, and much potential is wasted.

Zhang Jian then said.

"During this period, I will seek a reliable great divine adept for you, to help you take refuge under their door; I can only teach you so much, and continuing to delay will only waste your tremendous fortune!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liying's bright eyes flashed with a hint of intense joy, and she was about to bow down, but Zhang Jian helped her up.

Zhang Jian instructed her to properly enter seclusion, must first master this power in subtlety before continuing the fusion, lest she be tainted by the Xuanming Primal Qi.

……

After Zhang Jian left the Eternal Heavenly Sovereign Hall, he went to the Central Heavenly Realm, inquiring about some information on ice-attribute great divine adepts in parts of the heavens and myriad worlds.

But it is regrettable that the information obtained this way is too broad and also inaccurate.

Zhang Jian originally wanted to continue contacting his old acquaintances in the heavenly realm, the Water Official Sovereign, the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden, and some immortals and deities in the heavenly realm, to inquire with them, and after thinking it over, he still decided to contact Yu Wang.

But constantly latching onto this patriarch to squeeze benefits, Zhang Jian feels somewhat embarrassed.

In the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm, upon learning of Zhang Jian's idea, Yu Wang immediately laughed and said.

"A Yu, this is indeed a good thing; what is there to feel embarrassed about?"

"Isn't the Bai clan your dao companion? Then naturally she also counts as a half-disciple of the Tongshan Dao lineage; if she can find a good refuge, out of consideration for your face, we should also protect the immortals and deities of our Tongshan Dao lineage!"

"You need not worry about this matter; after I consult with Tushan, I will give you a good suggestion!"

"You just need to rest assured in your cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded in agreement.

This is indeed also the principle.

With that, he settled his mind, redirecting his thoughts to the cultivation of the fifth step of the Taiyi Great Perfection.

In the State and Nine Nether two primal qi, he has already successfully sublimated the Nine Nether Primal Qi Dao Fruit.

Next is the State Primal Qi Dao Fruit.

Afterwards, many roads were thoroughly integrated into the Earth Emperor Dao Fruit, which is how the step of Heavenly Heart Returning to the Dao was thoroughly completed.

Only after passing this step could one truly confirm the ability to achieve the Dao Lord's body through this Dao.

……

In the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm, Yu Wang was somewhat deep in thought, and Yu Wang's vision was broader than Zhang Jian's.

He knew many great divine beings.

Among them were not lacking true immortals and gods who were genuinely skilled at teaching disciples in the myriad heavens' void.

Although their cultivation might not be particularly strong, becoming their disciples was certainly a fortunate thing.

Next came the inheritance of the ancient immortal sect's Dao lineage, such as the Taiqing Heavenly Realm, Kunlun Heavenly Realm, Nine Luminaries Heavenly Realm, and even parts of the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm and Yaochi Heavenly Realm's great divine beings.

Among them were not lacking immortals and gods who had gone very far in the divine path.

These ancient immortals and ancient gods were all those with penetrating insight and power.

Considering their background, background, and requirements for disciples, after removing some, there were still many.

It was not necessarily required to be an ice-attribute great divine being, was it?

At this time, Qingyuan Old Ancestor was attending by Yu Wang's side, and seeing the situation, he could not help but ask.

"Master, what matter makes you so worried?"

Yu Wang did not hide it at the moment and smiled.

"Ayu wants to choose a teacher for that lady beside him, so he came to ask for instruction, and as a teacher, I was somewhat hesitant for a moment!"

Qingyuan Old Ancestor heard this and secretly sighed.

The weight of this Grand Tutor Nephew in Yu Wang's heart was increasing at a visible speed.

Otherwise, for such a small matter, Yu Wang would not be so careful.

Qingyuan Old Ancestor felt somewhat sour in his heart.

These personal disciples of his did not have this position in Yu Wang's heart.

In a flash, Qingyuan Old Ancestor swept away his distracting thoughts, and he still had some impression of Bai Liying, so he casually said.

"Master, why not ask your wife's opinion? Your wife has extensive connections, and good friends spread throughout the myriad heavens—she might be able to help you get an idea!"

He actually did not know the condition of Bai Li Ying's body, merely mentioning it casually.

Yu Wang, however, laughed and nodded.

"Good idea, your wife has unique insight, and perhaps she will have good suggestions!"

Yu Wang's figure flashed, and he directly left Tong Mountain.

Qingyuan Old Ancestor saw Yu Wang's departing figure and could only sigh.

This might just be loving the house and thus the crow!

Qingyuan Old Ancestor instantly buried himself in his own cultivation, tens of thousands of years of bitter practice, he felt that the Taiyi True Numbers were still unattainable.

However, being in the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm, cultivation conditions were far superior to the human dimension, so he did have many choices.

However, these resources needed to be competed for with fellow disciples.

……

Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm, Qingqiu Land.

A lush green giant tree like a giant umbrella grew on the mountain slope, supporting the blue-green sky.

Beneath the giant tree, the Qingqiu Immortal City was bustling and extraordinary.

The Tushan clan was presiding over the Qingqiu auction in the city, and Yu Wang waited in the Qingqiu Palace for several days before seeing the Tushan clan.

Nine-Tailed Hall.

The Tushan clan wore a blue gauze robe, her figure tall and slender, her whole body filled with a dignified and noble aura. Seeing Yu Wang, she could not help but reproach him.

"Your Majesty, why did you come without informing me first? I have not made any preparations, and I don't even have time to put on makeup!"

Yu Wang chuckled lightly.

"My lady, we are old husband and old wife—where would we need to put on any makeup!"

"Your Majesty truly understands nothing about a woman's heart!"

Tushan clan gave Yu Wang a white look and said angrily: "You must know which woman would willingly expose her ugly side before others!"

Yu Wang was dumbfounded.

He then immediately explained his purpose.

"Tushan, Ayu's Dao partner has inherited the Xuanming God Position—this is a good thing, and also a bad thing!

Ayu wants to find a teacher for her, so her cultivation does not advance too quickly and damage her foundation, and at the same time, he has not lacked the idea of finding a backer for her. He asked for my opinion, but I am somewhat unable to decide, so I wanted to ask Lady to help me consider and deliberate!"

At this time, Tushan clan sat on the Celestial Fox Treasure Seat, her lively eyes gazing at Yu Wang, yet she shook her head and laughed.

"Where would this need any deliberation!"

"Your Majesty, you are truly muddy!"

Yu Wang's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately put down the teacup in his hand.

"Lady, what do you mean by these words?"

Tushan clan smiled brightly.

"Your Majesty, I ask you—what is the background of that Bai clan?"

Yu Wang directly said.

"I heard Ayu mention before that this lady of his is of dragon descent, and moreover, she is a supreme Xuanming dragon species, with excellent bloodline, and even showing a hint of atavism!"

After the words fell, Yu Wang's expression froze for a moment, then a hint of realization appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"Dragon clan, so it is!"

"I had forgotten that one!"

He knew that the dragon clan still had a female great power seated in the Four Seas, and this great power was widely renowned throughout the myriad heavens and void.

And she is now also the Dragon Mother Goddess revered by the dragon clan across the myriad heavens and void.

She is a water mother, and also a dragon mother.

It is said that she and the dragon clan's progenitor, Ancestor Dragon, existed in the same era.

Nowadays, most of the Four Seas dragon clan no longer follow Ancestor Dragon's orders, but instead follow this honored water mother as the dragon clan's progenitor, believing she is the true master of the dragon clan.

In fact, even some of Ancestor Dragon's descendants have long since refused to accept the Ancestor Dragon bloodline within them; many, through the Dragon Transformation Pool in the Water Mother Palace, have undergone rebirth into another kind of dragon bloodline.

The Xuanming dragon species was created by this water mother.

This water mother's most enthusiastic supporters are those who enjoy creating various mighty dragon clans or supporting the younger generation of the dragon clan.

King Yu pondered and said.

"It just so happens that Yinglong is a frequent guest at the Water Mother Palace; we might as well have Brother Yinglong help inquire a bit!"

Yinglong is one of the great gods who assisted him in controlling the waters, and his relationship with this dragon clan great god is also quite good.

Yinglong God was originally a descendant of Ancestor Dragon.

But after Ancestor Dragon established the Xian Qin and was subsequently defeated by the Heavenly Court, most of the dragon clan directly severed ties with Ancestor Dragon, this infamous rebel renowned across the myriad heavens and void.

In fact, they had no choice but to clearly draw the line, lest they be settled accounts with by the Heavenly Court.

The Tushan clan, however, laughed and shook their head.

"No rush; let A Yu first bring the Bai clan to visit Brother Yinglong, so that Brother Yinglong may have some reassurance!"

King Yu nodded.

……

Deep within the Eternal Ice Fortress, Zhang Jian's head burst forth with purple-yellow divine light, as the mountains, rivers, and societal order flowed through it, and myriad earthly Dao qi flowed through, fully displaying the divine chart's power of creation over heaven and earth.

Zhang Jian felt that his speed of comprehension was not slow, but compared to the speed of comprehending the Nine Nether Ancestral Qi, it was much slower.

Yet he possessed no Reincarnation Divine Stone, that supreme divine object containing even a fragment of the Nine Nether Ancestral Qi.

Zhang Jian's eyes sank in thought; at this moment he could feel the difficulty of cultivation.

Without these heavenly and earthly supreme treasures to aid him, relying solely on his own insight and opportunity, even if he were a divine body, cultivation would not be so easy.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's Dao heart was as firm as iron, and yet he did not feel restless due to this cultivation speed.

For him, being able to directly achieve perfection in the Nine Nether Ancestral Qi within such a short time was already quite satisfying.

As for the Societal Order Ancestral Qi, being a little slower is no problem.

After all, he still has ample time.

"Perhaps we could find a way to enter part of a secret realm in the Three Sovereigns' Heavenly Realm, or perhaps enter the Eastern Splendor Heavenly Realm!"

Zhang Jian knew that the Three Sovereigns' Heavenly Realm must necessarily contain part of a special innate secret realm, harboring the wondrous operation of the Societal Order Ancestral Qi.

The Dao realm of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect in the Eastern Splendor Heavenly Realm needs no further explanation.

Within it lies a strand of Earthly Ancestral Qi, excellent for contemplation, and also helpful in transforming the Societal Order Dao qi.

However, Zhang Jian still leans toward the secret realm within the Three Sovereigns' Heavenly Realm.

For no other reason.

The reason is only one!

Safety!

As one of the divine beings born in this newly born era, there are not a few powerful beings who eye him with tiger-like greed.

Zhang Jian does not wish to lightly court danger.

Zhang Jian now continues to sink his heart into cultivation.

Not long after, news of King Yu arrived from the Three Sovereigns' Heavenly Realm.

Upon receiving the news, Zhang Jian thus brought Bai Liying directly into the Three Sovereigns' Heavenly Realm, and under King Yu's introduction, met Yinglong the Great God.

This Yinglong Great God was actually quite easy to talk to, especially after noticing Bai Liying's foothold and the Xuanming divine position on her person, he directly agreed and was willing to introduce Bai Liying into the Water Mother Palace.

Evidently, Bai Liying's fortune is quite good.
