Chapter 592: The State and the Nine Netherworlds Gathering Place: Imperial Road (4K)

Zhang Jian's gaze swept over the seats ahead, and he also saw the figure of the Three Officials Emperor.

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered slightly; he did not know whether the Three Officials Emperor's entry into these three hundred and sixty positions had anything to do with him.

But this thought flashed through Zhang Jian's mind in an instant.

After the time arrived, the Fuxi Holy Emperor in the Heavenly Emperor Palace directly began to expound the Dao.

"This time, the topic we are expounding is the earth, verifying the profoundness of various earthly laws and their relationship with other heavenly and earthly great Dao laws; furthermore, it is whether some conjectures on earthly laws proposed by many great divine beings in the heavenly void are feasible!"

"The last topic is the changes of the earth in the four stages of establishment, stability, decay, and emptiness in one heavenly realm, and how, by regulating the earth, to prevent the great destruction of heaven and earth, or to enable the earth to play a more stable role in the prosperity of heaven and earth!"

"This section, I, as the lecturer, will expound the fruits of my research over these years!"

"After Zhenyuanzi Dao Brother and Xuanyuan Huangdi record their remarks, supplementary speeches can be made; other Dao friends may ask questions at any time, and the Dao friends seated in the front rows may also ask questions at any time!"

As Fuxi Holy Emperor expounded the main content, he then began to give a detailed lecture on the first topic.

Upon hearing the content of this lecture, many immortals and gods were astonished, yet most of them pricked up their ears.

Many immortals and gods, even if they did not primarily cultivate earthly laws, frequently came into contact with the profundities of the earth.

Many immortals and gods, to a greater or lesser extent, would have one or two earth-attribute techniques.

These might be related to earthly spirit veins, earthly spirit apertures, earthly mountains and rivers, or evasion and defensive types of immortal arts.

This is a highly popular major direction.

Among the immortal assembly, there are also those who walk the path of the earth, such as the Earth Officials Emperor.

Furthermore, there is Ji Qing, the clan chief of the Ji clan, who came to listen to the Dao this time.

These immortals and gods were all greatly shaken in spirit and unusually excited.

This is like a mighty figure in the field actively appearing to lecture everyone on various advanced techniques that only top-tier powerhouses can perform, and even more so, explaining the profound mysteries within.

How could such an opportunity be missed!

Zhang Jian sat among the crowd, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes; he did not know whether this was a coincidence or whether the Fuxi Holy Emperor had specially come to lecture him.

But Zhang Jian thought it over, shook his head, and felt that his relationship with the Fuxi Holy Emperor could not be called close; it might just be a fortunate coincidence.

Moreover, the earthly profundities spoken by the Fuxi Holy Emperor could not have been improvised.

They should be the result of long-term research.

Zhang Jian's heart also welled up with some joy.

These earthly profundities, along with practical experience and data, were exactly what he lacked.

This is also far more useful than empty talk about lofty professional terms.

While lecturing, the Fuxi Holy Emperor's hand manifested a vast heavenly realm illusion through magical power.

Looking closely, the layout of this heavenly realm was exactly that of the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm.

And it was not just one heavenly realm.

This Holy Emperor cited classics and, upon reaching the key point, directly manifested various precise data and the constants of the heavenly and earthly great Dao laws using the heavenly realm model.

The gods below listened as if intoxicated and entranced.

Zhang Jian also felt his horizons broaden, and simultaneously, a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.

So this is how one expounds the Dao.

Absolutely not the simple, tedious, and monotonous mere verbal exposition of various data and operational formulas of laws as he had thought.

At this moment, strands of purple-yellow divine light emerged from around him, and the purple-yellow divine light likewise evolved into a vast illusion of mountain and river dimensions; Zhang Jian thus nurtured one grand realm after another, thereby verifying the profundities of various earthly laws spoken by the Fuxi Holy Emperor, and the profundities of the earth's ancestral qi.

As he carried out the deduction and testing.

Besides many law formulas, new law constants were recorded for him, and furthermore, the connections between many earthly profundities, earthly Dao qi, and various heavenly and earthly Dao qi became much clearer.

Zhang Jian could also affirm that this endeavor was truly of boundless merit.

Henceforth, if he were to encounter earthly damage or destruction, such calamities, most of the immortals and gods present would likely unconsciously recall the underlying principles, or take preemptive action to avert the great disaster.

"Giving a man a fish is not as good as giving him a fishing rod!"

Zhang Jian's heart could not help but rise with a sense of lament and shame.

Compared to this, his suppression of the earth in the Donghua Realm was nothing at all.

After the first topic ended, Zhang Jian clearly felt that the operation of various heavenly and earthly great Dao laws in his own Mountains and Rivers State Diagram became more efficient, and the reaction speed was more than twice as fast as before.

This is an astonishing progress.

Moreover, Zhang Jian gained more ideas on how to construct or induce the branches and trunks.

This greatly aids him in completing his cultivation of returning the heart to the Dao.

Not only him, but among the three hundred and sixty immortals and gods, many also felt they had gained greatly.

Moreover, they felt that analyzing the earthly laws was actually so simple.

However, the greatest gains were still those few powerful immortals and gods with earthly attributes.

The final part spoken by the Fuxi Holy Emperor, concerning the earthly attribute ancestral qi network and its connections with other Dao qi, could be called the finishing touch; many immortals and gods directly condensed the qi of their Dao fruits atop their heads, with clouds of light unfurling, adding several degrees of profundity out of thin air.

The Fuxi Holy Emperor watched this scene with a mere faint smile, then immediately began to lecture on the second topic.

In the heavenly void, many great divine beings had various conjectures about earthly laws and earthly attribute ancestral qi.

What he spoke of was very unadorned; in the void, there were no heavenly flowers falling, no golden lotuses surging from the earth—only the formless heavenly and earthly great Dao laws evolving in his hands.

Like an ancient researcher who has studied the heavenly and earthly great Dao for countless ages, he used the most unadorned words to analyze the profound mysteries of the heavenly and earthly great Dao before their eyes.

The immortals and gods could also see from these data the profound accumulation of this ancient Holy Emperor upon the heavenly and earthly great Dao.

In the Heavenly Emperor Holy Hall, the many great divine beings seated together also felt they had benefited greatly.

The Fuxi Holy Emperor could always, from different angles, use the most unadorned theory to let them understand what is truth.

To see the unseen, to know the unknown—this is truth.

The second stage of the lecture passed unnoticed.

Whether it was the great gods within the hall, or the immortals and gods on the three hundred and sixty seats above, all felt that time passed quickly.

In the last row, on the fourth-to-last seat, Zhang Jian felt his brow's Mandate of Heaven Dao Qi Dao Fruit unusually active, a layer of ancestral Qi phantom invisibly manifesting.

Benefiting from Fuxi Sheng Huang revealing a portion of the Earth Ancestral Qi Wheel's power in his celestial phantom in the heavenly realm, he found inspiration.

He was only one step away from condensing the Mandate of Heaven Ancestral Qi.

He felt that after this lecture on the Dao, he would surely pierce this layer of paper.

At this moment, Fuxi Sheng Huang began to speak on the final topic, taking advantage of the situation.

He spoke solemnly.

"Actually, this final topic is the shared achievement of many human sages of our Huoyun Dongtian, and also their practical experience in salvaging myriad realms!"

"This Emperor has also sought their opinions, revealing part of their achievements!"

"I hope you all can make good use of these achievements to salvage heaven and earth, or to benefit heaven and earth!"

Below, the myriad immortals and gods responded in turn.

At least they outwardly complied.

Whether they would actually benefit heaven and earth, only they themselves know.

Zhang Jian also steadied his mindset.

Compared to others, he was most attentive to the third topic.

Not only could he gain early insight into a portion of the profound mystery of the apocalyptic calamity from it, but if he could comprehend the means to save heaven and earth, or to stop the heavenly calamity, would he not be able to achieve great things in the ancestral temple!

This is also genuine merit and fortune.

Only seen, in the center of the Heavenly Emperor's Sacred Hall, Fuxi Sheng Huang's body gathered immortal light, again manifesting a model of a vast heavenly realm, but then with a sweep, the void gave birth to a terrifying black qi river, merging into the heavenly model, instantly producing all kinds of terrifying calamities, the heavenly origin polluted, countless heavenly and earthly great Dao laws collapsing and their connections severed, trending toward collapse, then affecting matter, the real world.

Heaven collapsed, earth sank.

Even knowing this was merely an immortal law model, many immortals and gods were still terrified.

In that great destruction, countless extradimensional heavenly demons, extraterritorial heavenly demons 'following the scent' came.

After establishing this model, Fuxi Sheng Huang arranged many pieces, then invited the immortals and gods on the main seat to participate, either as pawns or as leaders of the extraterritorial heavenly demon faction.

Fuxi Sheng Huang, by his own power, opposed the myriad immortals and gods, and from this evolved the meaning of suppressing the earth within it.

The entire earth, in the grand scheme, like the central palace, can suppress all kinds of heavenly and earthly great Dao laws.

With the earth present, even if yin-yang, two modalities, four symbols, five elements, time-space, stars completely collapse, it can still maintain the most basic vitality of one heavenly realm.

Because the earth is the foundation where multidimensionality is borne.

Heaven and earth unite into chaos, that is the final step.

At this moment, Fuxi Sheng Huang controlled the pieces on the earth, step by step through the many arrangements on the earth, suppressing the various talents surging in the void, simultaneously resolving the demonic qi born of the great destruction, turning destruction into creation, reintegrating into heaven and earth, letting heaven and earth regenerate vitality, then through the pieces guiding the myriad extradimensional demon gods, extraterritorial heavenly demons into the heavenly realm's dead lands to be utterly annihilated.

He was performing a textbook-style salvation.

Although several other great divine beings were equally powerful in cultivation and unmatched in calculation, they could not match his step-by-step encampment.

In the back rows, Zhang Jian watched without blinking.

This was more enjoyable than any endgame.

Around him, the flow of yin-yang creation immortal light shifted, at this moment as if dividing yin and yang, one side creation, one side pure destruction, intertwined as one, profound and unfathomable.

Additionally, the Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, the Primordial Birth and Destruction Pearl within him suddenly melted over half, transforming into a path of innate indestructible spiritual light merging into this fifth-rank immortal law, letting it gradually possess a profundity transcending eternity.

It likewise reached the edge of the eternal-level realm.

Only lacking one path of eternal will.

In the moment of yin-yang creation transformation, deep in Zhang Jian's brow, a layer of golden divine light emerged from transformation.

At this moment, deep in his brow was entirely that heavenly model's depths, the earth suppressing all changes, this is precisely the suppression of the Mandate of Heaven Ancestral Qi, the wonder of sovereignty.

Although the Mandate of Heaven Dao Fruit is mainly based on earth, it actually leans toward sovereignty, suppression, and even toward bearing great virtue to nurture all things in heaven and earth.

Vast divine light surged from his crown, behind him faintly appeared a phantom of an innate Emperor wearing the Heavenly Emperor's Robe, holding the Mandate of Heaven Divine Seal.

His body radiated a heavy, vast aura, as if the divine path supreme who governs heaven and earth's gods.

As this vast divine path supreme phantom formed, the earth-attribute laws, soil-attribute laws, and even the earth, soil-attribute Ancestral Qi Wheel on the Three Emperors' Heavenly Realm's crown trembled slightly, as if welcoming a supreme's birth.

Many immortals and gods at this moment awoke from contemplation, seeing this scene, their eyes showed astonishment.

This is clearly an omen of great gain.

But this change did not end.

After the golden divine light surged out, within his Niwan Palace, the Nine Ancestral Qi condensed Nine Emperors also seemed stimulated, a path of black divine light again burst forth from within and without his Niwan Palace, rushing into the Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds, the two chasing, like yin-yang fish, slowly merging around the Earth Emperor's Dao Fruit.

A vast, mighty power seemed to be bursting forth, they united the Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds' surrounding gathered Dao Qi like stars, even several strands of Ancestral Qi, gradually merging into the Earth Emperor's Ancestral Qi.

Boom—!

At this moment, the Three Emperors' Heavenly Realm's earth-attribute, soil-attribute Ancestral Qi Wheels violently trembled, as if a new road had broken through their barriers, vaguely forming.

As it formed on its own, there emerged a power distinct and outstanding, suppressing the heavenly and earthly Xuanhuang.

This is a brand-new road.

Within the road, a vast figure in purple-yellow dragon robes slowly emerged, he stood proudly above endless fate, time and space, faintly bearing an aura transcending fate, time and space.

"Heaven's Heart Returns to the Dao!"

Seeing this scene, many powerful immortals and gods gazed clearly at this scene, their eyes faintly holding some doubt.

They could see that the road condensed in the purple-yellow divine light was extraordinarily vast, magnificent, with immense potential.

But in an instant, it was obscured by a black-white divine light, evolving into a scene of a starry river covering the sky.

That is the final divine marvel of the fifth-rank immortal law's Infinite River Chart.

The Innate River Chart Grand Formation!

In the Heavenly Emperor's Sacred Hall, Fuxi Sheng Huang raised his brow, also displaying a divine power to help Zhang Jian conceal his foundation.

Many great divine beings could only faintly feel that the road Zhang Jian condensed was indeed an earth-attribute path.

The path faintly seemed quite special.

Besides that, however, one cannot see through the true and false of the path, nor its foundation.

Many great divine beings, upon seeing this scene, were not surprised.

This is not some special response.

Cultivators who unexpectedly break through in the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Hall will naturally receive a portion of the care of the Fuxi Holy Emperor.

However, in the Dao Platform, the Water Official Emperor, Tianhe True Person, upon seeing this scene, felt increasing pressure.

Zhang Jian actually confirmed his own path in the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Hall, completing the cultivation of Heavenly Heart Returning to the Dao.

After completing this fifth step of cultivation, only two steps remain: Attaining the Dao and Seeing Me, and the Great Calamity of Destruction.

This has already caught up to him.

The Heavenly Official Emperor and the Earthly Official Emperor also saw this scene, yet there was a hint of sigh in their eyes.

Undoubtedly, this divine being is truly a heaven's pride.

In such a short time, he has consecutively completed many barriers that even immortals and gods over hundreds of thousands of years might not necessarily overcome.

After confirming the path in the fifth step, as long as the path has no problems, the latter two steps become relatively easier.
