Chapter 602: Aftermath, Rewards (4K)
Although this place has been targeted by several sin gods and demons, the heavenly net formed by the gods of the Heavenly Court suppresses them, so they ultimately failed to reach him.
Moreover, the target of the War God Xingtian is clearly not just a mere Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel.
This War God has his own purpose.
However, there is also danger involved.
If they were to confront Xingtian War God head-on, they might not withstand even a single encounter.
Zhang Jian made up his mind, and the immortal light of his Dao cultivation, along with the primordial essence of innate creation, simultaneously entered Zijun Xianzi's body, assisting her in controlling the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel while also mastering the surging heavenly origin, thereby retransforming his innate primordial spirit and attaining the identity of an innate deity.
The power of that heavenly origin is truly earth-shaking!
A single point can suppress all kinds of ancestral qi and Dao qi!
But Zhang Jian instantly noticed that although Zijun Xianzi possesses vast heavenly origin, which makes her primordial spirit extraordinarily strong, she does not know how to reverse the innate in such a manner.
If she merely relies on this heavenly origin to forcibly transform her innate primordial spirit,
it could indeed succeed.
But she would likely waste most of the heavenly origin's power.
Zhang Jian weighed it in his heart and silently thought:
"Forget it, see the good deed through to the end!"
With Zijun Xianzi's background, using heavenly origin to reverse the innate, as an innate god born of the Heavenly Court, she will surely attract the favor of great heavenly powers, and her future will be bright.
Zhang Ran naturally does not mind lending her another hand.
On his body, there are indeed many methods for reversing creation and reshaping the innate body, including the《Innate Dao Scripture》tailored to his own innate Dao fetus body, and the Great Law of Nine Transformations of Chaos Qinglian Transformation and Birth.
Even on the《Tongshan Qingjing Baolu》, which is not transmitted outside the sect, there is a method using oneself as a cauldron to reverse the innate divine body.
If we compare the three, the Nine Transformations of Chaos Qinglian Transformation and Birth Great Law is actually superior.
However, the secret method in the《Tongshan Qingjing Baolu》is not necessarily superior to the《Innate Dao Scripture》.
But the《Tongshan Qingjing Baolu》is a transmitted secret method of Tongshan and cannot be passed on externally.
In fact, the《Innate Dao Scripture》is also one of the Zhang family's foundational treasures, a family secret not to be transmitted.
"Zijun, listen closely—I will transmit to you a method for reshaping innate creation. Follow this method to condense an innate immortal fetus and reshape your innate divine body..."
At that moment, Zhang Jian, with his supreme Dao cultivation, infused the《Innate Dao Scripture》into the depths of Zijun Xianzi's forehead, helping her comprehend this supreme Dao method.
Zijun Xianzi slightly comprehended it and directly entered a state of excellence.
The emergence of this innate method is, for her, no less than sending charcoal in the snow.
Only then did countless golden runes gradually appear on her body surface, gathering and sinking into the depths of her forehead, continuously inhaling and exhaling her vast heavenly origin within, evolving into an innate immortal fetus, using heavenly origin as firewood and foundation—this innate immortal fetus naturally radiates vast and magnificent power.
Zhang Jian felt Zijun Xianzi gradually entering a state, and the repair of the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel was nearly complete; he then withdrew his own immortal Dao light, allowing Zijun Xianzi to borrow the power of the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel, continuously excavating her innate treasures within.
At this moment, a part of the heavenly mandate deep in her forehead collapsed.
In the depths of the void, a sudden surge of vast fortune descended from heaven, entering her life palace and becoming her innate fortune.
However, deep in her heavenly mandate, a part of the core heavenly mandate remains unerased.
"It seems Zijun still bears other missions!"
Zhang Jian secretly thought in his heart.
At this moment, he treads the void, his body continuously inhaling and exhaling the vast Zhou Tian starlight from the depths of the void, restoring his Dao cultivation with primordial essence.
He glanced at the side at the Nine Ling Xianzi.
Nine Ling Xianzi also carries a heavenly mandate, but at this moment, her heavenly mandate has not yet surfaced.
It appears they will still have further high-level developments.
Zhang Jian faintly guessed that level of heavenly mandate.
That heavenly mandate may be related to the pattern of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
But it is certain that afterward, he fears he will no longer be able to continue participating.
After this event, Zijun Xianzi's heavenly mandate will inevitably be exposed before the heavenly court's assembly of immortals, including the various Heavenly Emperors.
There are too many wolves.
Not enough meat to go around.
However, being able to participate in part of the heavenly mandate ahead of time, he is already content.
And at this moment, above the azure sky, Zhang Jian faintly saw immortals and gods emerging from the heavenly net, some heading toward the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel, others flying toward the sunken earth realm of the Tenth Heaven.
Seeing the earth and land city, countless beings suffering calamity, many immortals and gods then each displayed their immortal arts, lifting the earth from the land city's earth realm, while simultaneously sending the wounded and dead beings into the netherworld earth realm for rebirth and reincarnation, ordering the earth.
Before the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel, at this moment, many immortals and gods descended, and they also saw the already restored Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel, their eyes showing some astonishment.
The Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel is one of the realm-stabilizing divine artifacts of the Thirty-Three Heavens; relying on it, one can nearly rival post-heavenly spiritual treasures.
Even the many divine artisans of the Heavenly Court's Divine Workshop dare claim confidence in repairing such a supreme treasure.
But now, it has been truly repaired by this Eternal Heavenly Lord.
This truly astonished many immortals and gods.
Secondly, on the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel, resonating with its treasure light, Zijun Xianzi faintly emits a vast and magnificent heavenly origin.
Many immortals and gods perceived the merveilleux within, their eyes filled with astonishment.
At this moment, more than ten immortals and gods appeared out of thin air beside Zhang Jian's side.
Zhang Jian glanced over slightly, and his expression immediately showed a hint of surprise.
Among them, several immortals who appeared were known to Zhang Jian.
The leader, a male and female immortal pair—one is Yaochi Heavenly Court Tai Ming Dao Jun, the other is Tai Su Dao Jun.
Zhang Jian had seen these two immortals once in Yaochi Heavenly Court.
At that time, the two Dao Jun represented the Yaochi Holy Mother in welcoming the immortals of the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, after Tai Ming Dao Jun glanced over, he then said.
"It seems my Yaochi Heavenly Realm will gain yet another innate deity!"
He wore a smile, yet directly took in the Purple Radiance Immortal Maiden into the Yaochi's command.
Other immortals and deities, upon seeing this, had their expressions slightly change.
Such a female immortal bearing the Heavenly Realm's primordial essence is naturally a target of contention among all major powers, yet they truly lack righteous justification.
The Purple Radiance Immortal Maiden nominally belongs to the Eternal Ice Fortress.
The superior of the Eternal Ice Fortress is the Chonghua Palace.
Chonghua Palace is one of the Six Palaces, and most of the Six Palaces fall within the direct authority of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable.
The Yaochi Holy Mother is the chief of the Heavenly Court's female immortals; bringing a female immortal into Yaochi is thus a matter of course.
Zhang Jian, upon seeing this, kept his expression unchanged.
At this moment, behind the two Yaochi Great Immortals, the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden was also present behind them.
Not long after, hearing the commotion, and with more and more immortals and deities arriving, upon hearing that the Purple Radiance Immortal Maiden had been directly appointed by the Tai Ming Daoist Lord as a Yaochi female immortal, many thoughts were instantly extinguished.
"Zhang Daoist friend, I never expected such good fortune to also be encountered by you!"
At this moment, the Three Officials Emperor also appeared not far away; the Heaven Officials Emperor had some astonishment in his eyes.
They are well-informed, already knowing the full story, and could not help but feel astonished at Zhang Jian's fortune.
"I also never imagined that the Purple Radiance Immortal Maiden would have such fortune; everything is merely a coincidence of fate!"
Zhang Jian's expression carried a slight smile.
Yet the Three Officials Emperor inwardly did not believe it, merely listening politely for now.
Had he not already sensed beforehand the mystery of the Purple Radiance Immortal Maiden and the Thirty-Three Heavens' Stabilizing Divine Artifact, even if given this heavenly lord several courages, he would likely not dare to lightly issue a military pledge before the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor.
However, the Three Officials Emperor believes Zhang Jian could not have known in advance of the ancient demon god Chi Tian entering the Heavenly Realm.
Even with the other party's backing, they should not possess such divine ability.
But it can be foreseen that this heavenly lord, appearing before the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor this time, will likely soon be promoted.
His authority may well catch up to that of the three of us emperors.
Over tens of thousands of years, from a vacant heavenly emperor to one with real power, this one truly does not disgrace his divine nature—his progress is astonishingly swift.
The Water Officials Emperor glanced at Zhang Jian, with a faint sigh in his eyes.
In this struggle, he has already fallen to a disadvantage.
The divine nature truly is a despair-inducing existence.
Before the Mystic Heaven Treasure Wheel, the Tai Ming Daoist Lord and the Tai Su Daoist Lord quickly dispatched a batch of heavenly soldiers and generals to encircle the Mystic Heaven Treasure Wheel, to assist the Purple Radiance Immortal Maiden in her transformation.
Such an act of stealing the guest to replace the host is clearly somewhat overstepping.
However, Zhang Jian, seeing this, also felt relieved to save some effort.
At this moment, Zhang Jian finally had the leisure to ask the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden about changes in the Heavenly Court.
The Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden's information is clearly more extensive than his.
From the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden's mouth, Zhang Jian learned that this time, the ancient demon god Chi Tian, together with several powerful demon lords from the Black Abyss Demon Realm, had stormed into the Heavenly Court's Chonghua Palace.
The Heavenly Court's vital Chonghua Palace was breached, and the imprisoned criminals inside were all released, though the vast majority were quickly recaptured by the Heavenly Court's heavenly net laid down.
Only a few were rescued by the ancient demon god Chi Tian and several demon lords.
But Chi Tian and the several demon lords had just left the Heavenly Realm when they were already blocked.
This group being surrounded and slaughtered has become a settled matter.
It is unknown whether they can escape the encirclement and slaughter by the many powerful beings of the Heavenly Court.
It is estimated that hope is slim.
This time, these demon gods and demon lords may have tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
The Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden remained calm; mentioning these ancient demon gods, she felt little affection.
Most of the Heavenly Court's immortals and deities are unfamiliar with the ancient demon gods; the vast majority entered the Heavenly Court after the ancient era ended, becoming its immortals and deities.
And in the Heavenly Court's records, most ancient demon gods were tyrannical, primitive, and did not follow the teachings of sages.
Thus, many immortals and deities of the Heavenly Court do not hold a good impression of them.
Especially this time, having entered the Heavenly Court to break prison, many immortals and deities harbor even greater hostility.
The Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden is the same.
But when mentioning the Heavenly Court's losses, the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden's eyes showed some feeling of regret.
This time, suffering a sudden invasion, the Heavenly Court's cost will not be small.
Besides, part of the land of the Tenth Level Heavenly Realm sank.
Moreover, part of the Heavenly Realm was struck by the axe-light of the demon god Chi Tian, shattering several heavenly continents.
All living beings in those continents perished.
Furthermore, many immortals and deities suffered unjust disaster, directly obliterated by the axe-light.
Additionally, a layer of the Heavenly Realm was self-detonated by several extraterritorial demon monarchs, causing the land to sink and the domain to teeter on the brink of collapse.
"This time, the Heavenly Court has likely suffered its deepest and most severe calamity in tens of thousands of eons!"
The Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden's heart felt some emotion.
"Who would have thought that being in the Heavenly Court, one would also encounter such sudden misfortune!"
Her expression carried a sigh.
Zhang Jian's visage was solemn; only by becoming strong himself could he withstand all manner of calamities.
Can one, after attaining the Daoist Lord rank, then command one's own fate?
Zhang Jian recalled those sinful immortals, sinful deities, and even the ancient demon sages and ancient demon gods in the Chonghua Palace.
His eyes held some rippling waves.
But he knew that becoming a Dao Lord was his most important task at present.
Moreover, after becoming a Dao Lord, he would gain more influence in the myriad heavens and voids, at least no longer daring to easily leave the Central Heaven Realm and the Three Emperors' Heaven Realm as he does now, for fear of being schemed against by other ancient immortals and ancient gods.
Furthermore, by attaining the form of a Dao Lord, he would at least be counted among the 'upper structure' of the myriad heavens and worlds.
Whether in cultivation or status, he would far surpass his current state.
……
With many thoughts in his mind, Zhang Jian did not leave directly, but remained standing before the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel.
Having issued a military order, Zhang Jian naturally must see it through to the end.
Many immortals and gods, after checking the condition of the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel and confirming its recovery, departed one after another.
After confirming the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel had fully recovered, Zhang Jian also left, returning once more to the Ninth Layer Eternal Ice Fortress of the Heaven Realm.
The Ninth Layer of the Heaven Realm was not affected in this great calamity.
Yet the immortals' hearts remained troubled and uneasy, unavoidably so.
Subsequently, Zhang Jian received many messages, including numerous ones from the Tong Shan Dao Tong of the Three Emperors' Heaven Realm, as well as inquiries from some members of the Zhang clan, such as Zhang Yi, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Xian.
Zhang Jian replied to each separately, comforting their hearts.
After replying, Zhang Jian then received a transmission from the Heavenly Court, requesting that immortals and gods from all regions assist in the pursuit and capture of fugitives who had fled and returned.
This time, the heavenly prison of the Hua Yue Palace was shattered by the Divine Axe of Chi Qi and Shen Fu; most major criminals were re-subdued by the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, or else slain on the spot by several of the Six Sovereign Heavenly Emperors or various Heavenly Court Emperor Lords, but a few were taken away by the ancient demon god Chiyou and the demon lord of the Black Abyss Demon Realm.
Among them were the ancient demon gods Feng Bo and Jin Yuan, as well as several renowned ancient demons of heaven and earth.
Yet one remained who had not yet had time to escape, sealed within the Thirty-Three Heaven Realm.
This is a powerful demon lord known as Tian Xie, whose origin lies in the Nine Abyssal Demon Realm among the Six Great Demon Realms.
This one is a demon among demons.
To capture this powerful demon lord, the Heavenly Court expended a great cost.
Now this demon lord hides within the Thirty-Three Heaven Realm, thus becoming a great hidden danger.
The Heavenly Court prepares to use the Realm-Sealing Divine Artifact of the Thirty-Three Heavens, sealing each layer individually, while simultaneously employing the Heavenly Court's supreme treasure, the Haotian Mirror, to search.
In the Eternal Ice Fortress.
Upon receiving the pursuit notice, Zhang Jian immediately felt that one trouble had not yet passed before another arose.
Zhang Jian's eyes flickered with a slight sigh; he immediately issued an order, commanding that from this day forward, the Eternal Ice Fortress be placed under lockdown, and no one may enter or leave without his command.
At the same time, he fully activated the Eternal-level forbidden laws surrounding the Eternal Ice Fortress, sealing it completely in ice.
Not long after, the Southern Pole Longevity Symbol Edict in Zhang Jian's hand flew away.
Almost simultaneously, the commendation golden edict of the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor Lord arrived at the Eternal Ice Fortress.
Accompanying it were also some envoys from the Southern Pole Longevity Great Emperor's mansion.
