Chapter 636: Ancestral Dragon's Object (4K)

This innate Azure Dragon Pearl radiates an azure-green divine light, its entire body shimmering with intense vital energy, like a blazing sun.

As Zhang Jian reached out, the innate Azure Dragon Pearl floated up and landed in his hand.

Zhang Jian focused his gaze, fixing it upon this peculiar innate Azure Dragon Pearl.

The pearl's body is coiled with a layer of intense azure-green dragon shadow.

The dragon shadow flows, carrying a layer of intense divine Dao pressure.

Zhang Jian sensed that this innate Azure Dragon Pearl is not some innate spiritual treasure.

At most, it can only be considered a heavenly and earthly rare treasure formed from the condensed essence of a fallen great divine ability wielder.

It can be regarded as an innate magical treasure possessing some attributes of an innate spiritual treasure,

very similar to the Heavenly Treasury Odd Treasure Red Dragon Pearl that Zhang Jian obtained.

Likewise, it possesses part of the ability to suppress and enhance fortune.

"Good stuff!"

Zhang Jian's eyes brightened slightly.

The fortune divine power contained within this innate Azure Dragon Pearl far surpasses that of the Red Dragon Pearl, and it may contain part of the Eastern Azure Divine Lord's Eastern Azure fortune.

The Eastern Azure Dragon essence within is of great help to powerful dragon clansmen.

But thinking that this treasure is specified by the Earth Mother Goddess as needed, Zhang Jian immediately put it away.

Besides this treasure, the other things belong to him.

Zhang Jian swept his gaze over this lush, vibrant green oasis, and his eyes instantly fell upon a huge imprint.

It is a sunken, massive dragon-shaped imprint, its traces long and narrow, as if piercing through heaven and earth, time and space, as well as ages.

Zhang Jian knew that this should be the place where the Eastern Azure Divine Lord's remains fell; now only traces remain, no corpse, estimated to have been carried away by that dragon shadow just now and merged into Ao Bai's primordial spirit.

"Truly leaving not a blade of grass!"

Zhang Jian silently cursed in his heart.

But this also confirms Zhang Jian's suspicion: this Eastern Azure Divine Lord may not have completely fallen; perhaps there is another scheme.

At this moment, his Dao Lord divine sense turned toward other remaining objects on the oasis.

In an instant, his expression shifted, and his figure appeared deep underground beneath the trace.

Boom—

From afar, Zhang Jian felt a surge of intense heavenly and earthly Great Dao law vibrations, the invisible Great Dao law ripples sweeping in like a flood, carrying a grand and vast atmosphere.

Even Zhang Jian felt from his heart a surge of intense pressure sweeping in.

As if the Great Dao gave birth to spirit.

Zhang Jian gazed into the distance and saw at this moment a seven-colored little dragon playing and swimming in the great waves formed by the laws, lively and majestic.

Upon seeing Zhang Jian, it, as if possessing spirituality, fiercely transformed into a massive seven-colored dragon god body and charged forward, seemingly to drive Zhang Jian out of this underground space.

"Is this Eastern Azure essence blood?"

Zhang Jian gazed at the seven-colored dragon god, his eyes rippling.

In the depths of the Dao Lord's divine eyes, the core of that seven-colored dragon god is a drop of intense blood.

That drop of blood seems to nurture a trace of special Great Dao foundation, possessing the power to stir the chaotic primordial source ocean.

A trace of such power is so terrifying, enough to see how mighty the owner of this essence blood was in its prime.

But even this trace of essence blood before him still cannot stir up any waves.

Zhang Jian raised one hand, and a purple-yellow dragon-shaped immortal light flowed out, faintly carrying the divine power of the White Marsh Monster Sage breaking open billions of worlds with a finger snap; the purple-yellow immortal light flowed, and instantly broke open the grand divine Dao rules surrounding the seven-colored dragon god.

In an instant, it was snatched up, rolled back, and fell deep into Zhang Jian's palm.

In that instant, a drop of blood radiating like a blazing sun appeared deep in Zhang Jian's palm, within which flowed a trace of Great Dao rules.

Any mortal, even if a divine being is tainted by a trace, may possibly be infected by the power contained in this terrifying blood, thereby taking control of Great Dao rules and transforming into an extremely powerful deity.

But for Zhang Jian, who has attained Dao fruit and cultivation, this is like honey-coated poison.

If swallowed, it will inevitably pollute his Dao path with the internal Great Dao rules, even distorting his path.

However, for those divine beings whose Dao is not yet complete and whose path is not yet set, it is instead a great tonic.

Inheriting the path of the Eastern Azure Dragon, ascending step by step, is not necessarily a bad way out.

Or perhaps inheriting the path of the Ancestral Dragon!

Correct!

Zhang Jian's eyes fell upon this seven-colored essence blood; he suspected this is not at all Eastern Azure essence blood.

But rather the Ancestral Dragon essence blood condensed by the Eastern Azure Dragon.

This essence blood takes as its main an inexplicable grand Great Dao rule, not the imagined vitality, creation, wood-attribute Great Dao law, nor does it contain the Four Spirits' protective power.

On the contrary, it is filled with a layer of imperial Dao, royal Dao's supreme majesty.

At this moment, Zhang Jian could not fully determine in his heart.

Whether this is the foundation of the Eastern Azure Divine Lord, or that of the Ancestral Dragon.

Zhang Jian's eyes sank in contemplation; giving this to a few juniors is not bad, with hope of cultivating for Zhang Jian a Taiyi Great Perfection-level divine being; as for Dao Lord, the possibility is slim.

Those who learn from me live; those who imitate me die.

Even if one inherits the divine power of a great divine ability wielder, it does not necessarily mean they can ascend to Dao Lord.

If that great divine ability wielder has completely fallen, then it's fine; perhaps there is a chance to erase the imprints they left behind.

But if that great divine ability wielder has not fallen, then it could be a disaster.

One might fall into the trap hidden within and become their vassal.

Now the Ancestral Dragon's soul still remains; who knows what is hidden here, whether it will erupt.

However, for those cultivators with no hope in their path and unable to advance in cultivation, it is still not a bad path.

Zhang Jian casually put it away.

His gaze fell upon this seven-colored underground space.

In the seven-colored divine light, two items still emitted intense radiance, even amidst the many streams of seven-colored divine light flowing through the underground space, they could not be completely obscured.

Zhang Jian raised his eyes and looked; the first thing to catch his eye was a cyan-green seed.

It was oval in shape, resembling a giant egg.

Only the structure of the seed coat and embryo, unique to spiritual plants, it possessed extraordinary vitality, and within it lay a vast divine energy, as if containing a protective power capable of suppressing the realms of heaven and earth.

Gazing at this seed, a hint of a smile appeared in Zhang Jian's eyes.

He knew this should be the seed of the Dongcang Jianmu.

After the Immortal Realm withdrew from the center of the heavens, the Four Pole Gods completed their cultivation and retreated, whereupon the Eastern Pole Jianmu also disappeared shortly after.

Surely, what lay before him was the seed of the Eastern Pole Jianmu.

But this certainly was not the seed of the original Jianmu.

The Jianmu born in the primordial era had long been plundered many times.

Even if it were a descendant, it was still marvelously extraordinary.

Especially since within it lay a unique wood-attribute Daoist sovereign's status, making it a supreme treasure.

He then turned his gaze toward the other object.

Yet what he saw was a remarkably strange object.

It was a curious item, a large azure-blue pearl.

Within the depths of the pearl, countless water vapors surged; Zhang Jian seemed to see a vast ocean flowing within, its torrents boundless, possessing the power to annihilate all heavens and worlds.

"This is..."

A faint light flashed in the depths of Zhang Jian's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he took the pearl into his grasp.

Yet he saw that within the pearl lay the divine energy of the vast sea, and primordial divine light emanated from it, radiating a profound and mysterious mighty power, both yielding and deep.

Zhang Jian possessed three innate spiritual treasures in his hand, and was already quite familiar with the characteristics of innate spiritual treasures.

"Could it be a water-attribute innate spiritual treasure?"

Zhang Jian secretly marveled in his heart.

He directly took the treasure into his hand, employing a thread of eternal immortal light to refine it, and immediately sensed within it a flow of vast sea divine energy, carrying a grand and wondrous power akin to the celestial waters flowing, vast and mighty.

The power surged forth; even a Daoist sovereign's cultivation would be powerless before this force.

This further confirmed Zhang Jian's suspicion in his heart.

This might indeed be an innate spiritual treasure.

That Dongcang God Monarch must have left something behind for others after all.

Zhang Jian spent hundreds of years, initially mastering a thread of the pearl's power.

However, refining it was still out of the question.

But he also learned the 【true name】 of this innate spiritual treasure!

This treasure is called the Four Seas Pearl, seemingly formed at the dawn of the Manguang world when heaven and earth were split, as various extraordinary sea-eye powers converged and were nurtured from the seabed into a supreme treasure.

Its exact grade is also not very clear.

Zhang Jian felt it should possess six innate divine prohibitions.

A middle-grade water-attribute innate spiritual treasure.

Its specific usage still requires further exploration.

Upon obtaining an innate spiritual treasure, Zhang Jian's mood instantly improved beyond measure.

Even a single treasure of this grade would bring joy to anyone.

Zhang Jian first put it away, then casually searched the surroundings again, and upon finding no other treasures, immediately left this underground space where seven-colored immortal light flowed.

Returning to the surface, Zhang Jian's gaze fell upon the numerous earthly spiritual seeds sprouting in the oasis; those earthly spiritual roots were quite precious, not inferior to the Qingling fruit tree and Bodhi tree in the Nine Abysses Emperor's mansion.

If transplanted into the small spiritual realm of Jiuxiao Mountain, it would undoubtedly add brilliance.

Moreover, many of these earthly spiritual roots are extremely rare even in the Central Heavenly Realm.

Zhang Jian immediately waved his hand, and a purple-yellow immortal light enveloped this region, sealing it all within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, including that primordial divine spring.

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jian's mouth.

At this moment, as the oasis vanished, the Dongcang barrier surrounding it also began to dissipate bit by bit.

Only Ao Bai remained enveloped by a primordial, vast and mighty aura, with a cyan-green divine light faintly glowing beneath his skin, appearing to have gained great benefit.

At the center of his brow, a embryonic form of a Daoist fruit with divine-path attributes gradually emerged.

He was now only one step away from the Taiyi Realm.

Under Zhang Jian's gaze, Ao Bai slowly opened his eyes; upon seeing Zhang Jian, he instead performed a great bow in reverence.

"Thank you, Senior, for bestowing upon me the grace of creation!"

At this moment, upon mastering the divine-path status in his sea of consciousness, he realized just how great the benefit was.

This was the complete inheritance of the Dongcang God Monarch.

A supreme path leading to the Daoist sovereign of the divine path.

Everything was bestowed by this great divine ability before him.

Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, and he simply smiled and said.

"The Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm—you should be able to go there yourself!"

Ao Bai slightly nodded; this was the trial imposed upon him by that existence in his sea of consciousness.

He then bowed again.

"Please, Senior, bestow upon me your name and title; this little dragon shall never forget your great kindness!"

Zhang Jian glanced at him and then smiled.

"You too are a person of fortune; otherwise you would not have entered this place together with this lord!"

"Telling you my name is no problem; this lord is the Earth Emperor!"

Zhang Jian smiled faintly.

With a wave of his hand, he brought Ao Bai out of this place's Great Formation of the Sovereign Earth.

The Zhang family again glanced at a portion of the restless, powerful demon kings surrounding Qinglong Mountain; with a wave of his hand, he released the subdued Vine Dragon Demon King from within Qinglong Mountain, warned him, and then his form transformed into a stream of light flying toward the direction outside the Demon Realm.

He firmly remembered the warning of the Earth Mother Goddess.

After leaving the Qinglong Mountain range, he directly returned to the Netherworld Underworld; otherwise, troubles would entangle him.

Having flown only a short distance, he sensed behind him a vast divine power supporting him, that divine power extraordinarily fierce, carrying the strong scent of rainwater.

Furthermore, a voice came from behind, far away.

"Fellow Daoist ahead, please halt; this god has important matters to discuss with you!"

Sensing that vast, majestic rainwater rule and the majestic dragon qi, Zhang Jian knew trouble had come; at once, his flying speed did not decrease but increased, and he simply ignored it.

But not long after, another voice sounded, causing Zhang Jian's steps to pause.

"Husband, this is my martial elder sister sent by order; please, husband, pause your steps!"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Jian's face immediately showed a trace of helplessness.

This trouble seems unavoidable.

The one calling him was precisely Bai Li Ying.

Zhang Jian also did not expect that Bai Li Ying, who cultivates in the Water Jellyfish Palace, would actually appear here.

It seems she received guidance from an expert in the Water Jellyfish Palace and came here especially to wait for him.

Zhang Jian's mighty Dao Lord will could sense that the two female immortals pursuing from behind were clearly not some extradimensional demons, nor transformations of powerful demon gods.

He felt a sigh in his heart; though he had the mind to directly return to the Netherworld Underworld, doing so would spare him trouble but Bai Li Ying would inevitably suffer hardship in the Water Jellyfish Palace; thus, he turned around.

In the distance, two vast divine lights descended from the void.

Leading them was a beautiful, tall goddess wearing water-cloud robes, her body suffused with immortal light and dragon aura.

Her jade-like countenance was beautiful, yet bore an undisguisable divine holiness and purity.

In her eyes was also a loftiness nearly akin to the Heavenly Dao, masculine and yang.

Beside her was Bai Li Ying, dressed in black gauze robes, her body flowing with a cyan-blue divine light; as she inhaled and exhaled, it seemed one could see endless snow foxes drifting between heaven and earth, a peerless goddess born from the ice-snow elite of all realms, wielding boundless ice-snow divine power.

The boundless ice-snow primordial qi resonated with her; her divine power was vast, and faintly a trace of eternal power manifested within, as if a Dao Lord had descended into the world.

Although still at the level of a Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, she grasped a status nearly equal to that of a Dao Lord.

This is the Profound Dark Divine Position.

Yet this majesty, compared to the silent goddess beside her, still naturally falls into a lower position.

At this moment, Bai Li Ying's eyes fell upon Zhang Jian; her pupils brimmed with irrepressible joy, as well as a trace of worry and guilt.

The goddess beside her, wearing water-cloud robes, made a bow and then smiled, saying:

"Yu Zhuo of the Water Jellyfish Palace pays respects to Fellow Daoist Earth Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said:

"So you are the Dao Lord Yu Zhuo of the Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm; I do not know what important matter you summon this lord for?"

Yu Zhuo Dao Lord is not an unknown nobody; he is one of the attending Dao Lords of the Water Jellyfish Palace, also a disciple of the Water Mother Goddess, and furthermore one of the several Dragon Clan Dao Lords stationed in the Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm of the Demon Realm; his reputation far surpasses that of Zhang Jian, this newly ascended Dao Lord.

In dozens of eons past, he was already an unparalleled powerhouse in the Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm.

Those who come harbor ill intent; those who are good do not come!
