Chapter 646: Status Type Spiritual Treasure (4K)

That is a talisman formed from the condensation of wood-attribute primordial essence.

"Innate Wood Origin Divine Talisman!"

Zhang Jian gazed at the cyan jade divine talisman appearing in his hand, within which countless mysterious innate wood-attribute runes seemed to flow endlessly, eventually forming a special innate Great Dao rune.

A lower-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Innate Wood Origin Divine Talisman, contains an innate divine prohibition within.

It can be considered as having just become a lower-grade innate spiritual treasure.

But it is also an innate spiritual treasure.

Its sole innate divine prohibition is neither of an offensive nor defensive nature, but rather auxiliary.

By integrating auxiliary immortals and deities into the wood-attribute primordial network within the Chaos Primordial Ocean, comprehending the Great Dao laws of heaven and earth, it can mobilize a portion of wood-attribute Dao Qi and primordial ancestral Qi.

Just this alone makes its value far surpass many lower-grade innate spiritual treasures adept at killing or defense.

Especially for those great divine abilities of the wood attribute.

To enter the Chaos Primordial Ocean and construct a Daoist sovereign status, or to invade a heavenly realm, or to forcefully penetrate deep into a certain heaven and earth, wearing this treasure allows one to quickly switch to a universal status in a short time.

"Although it is a supreme treasure, it is regrettable that it is again an unusable innate spiritual treasure!"

In the Tongshan Divine Palace, Zhang Jian played with this innate spiritual treasure in his hand, yet there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

If it were an earth-attribute or land-attribute status-type innate spiritual treasure, its help to him would not be ordinary.

Zhang Jian glanced at this innate spiritual treasure, and instead of choosing to refine it, he put it away.

This can be considered the fifth innate spiritual treasure in Zhang Jian's possession.

Middle-grade innate spiritual treasure, Three-Grade Innate Creation Azure Lotus.

Upper-grade innate spiritual treasure, Qiankun Diagram.

Upper-grade innate spiritual treasure, Innate Four Symbols Divine Needles.

Of these three innate spiritual treasures, he either preliminarily refined them, deeply refined them, or the Three-Grade Innate Creation Azure Lotus has already been completely refined.

The other two middle-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Four Seas Pearls, and the lower-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Innate Wood Origin Divine Talisman, have not yet been refined.

Although not yet refined, this does not mean these two innate spiritual treasures are useless.

Since ancient times, there has been no innate spiritual treasure utterly without use.

Perhaps they too can play a role at critical moments.

After taking the Innate Wood Origin Divine Talisman, Zhang Jian had Bai Liying go to the Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm first, to go and obtain those three treasures.

Bai Liying is also a dragon clan member, nominally part of the Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm, and also a disciple of the Water Mother Dao Palace; Zhang Jian thus believes the Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm would not dare to easily make things difficult for Bai Liying.

Moreover, since Yuzhuo Daoist Sovereign wishes to trade with him, he would not dare to easily make things difficult for Bai Liying either.

……

In the following years, Zhang Jian first returned to the Netherworld Underworld, continuing to fulfill the authority of the Nether Moon Emperor, Nine Abysses Impeaching Spirits Emperor.

As the Yu King said.

During this period, he has already been sufficiently high-profile.

He prepares to keep a low profile, to properly complete his cultivation and his own eternal Dao laws, in preparation for assaulting the second transformation.

……

As a first-transformation Daoist Sovereign, Zhang Jian feels his limits are certainly not merely mastering many first-rank eternal Dao laws.

He should be able to seek mastery over several second-rank eternal Dao laws.

Currently in Zhang Jian's hands, the only second-rank eternal Dao law is the Innate Divine Ability Nine Transformations Chaos Azure Lotus Generation Great Law.

But besides this, he can actually promote the techniques of pivoting creation, the Rivers and Mountains State Diagram, the Earth Emperor Eight Trigrams, the Myriad Heavens Spacetime King Diagram, the Zhou Tian Star Chart, the Wander in the Grand Void Great Law, and others to second-rank eternal Dao laws.

He possesses such a foundation.

Especially as he gradually refines the Primordial Jade Pearl, integrating it into the Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds.

The state of his Dao heart, combined with the omen of the Boundless Great Bright Cloud, will make his promotion even faster.

Moreover, Zhang Jian feels that many treasures on his person have not yet been brought to their utmost potential.

For example, the five innate spiritual treasures, and many other heavenly and earthly rare treasures such as the Heart of Fate, the Three Lives Stone, the Flame Emperor Attainment Diagram, etc.; these heavenly and earthly rare treasures are naturally extremely precious, containing within them the imprint of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Some of their values are completely not inferior to innate spiritual treasures.

With such a foundation, if fully integrated and comprehended, Zhang Jian could further advance his Dao Fruit and Dao cultivation.

……

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Netherworld Underworld, Zhang Jian repaid the karmic debt of following the Earth Emperor's example after bearing heaven's mandate, and also felt his body lighten.

Over a thousand years, he felt his cultivation increased rapidly.

He has already approached ninety-nine eighty-one elemental meetings of Dao cultivation.

His Dao cultivation approaches the limit.

Only his Dao laws, Dao heart, primordial spirit, eternal will, and room for progress remain, and Zhang Jian is not in a hurry.

……

Netherworld Underworld, the magnificent Nether Moon hanging high above the boundless void of the Netherworld Underworld, its radiance pouring upon the Yellow Springs Sea, passing through the Yellow Springs Sea to fall into the many Netherworld underworlds, nourishing boundless yin and netherworld beings.

This round of Nether Moon, compared to the bright moon in the heavenly realm, seems to jointly form the authority of the ultimate yin aspect of heaven and earth.

Zhang Jian can clearly sense that where the moonlight shines, his divine power follows accordingly.

Such authority is truly magnificent and vast.

But among the many authorities under his control, this authority is not considered the strongest.

The strongest remains the Three-Transformation Daoist Sovereign status of the Earth Soul God Lord.

In this 'Universal Daoist Sovereign Status' of the myriad heavens void, countless primordial worlds fragment and scatter, their fragment worlds can be used by him, he can descend at any time and anywhere into these heavens and earths, and possesses the 'Three-Transformation Daoist Sovereign' status.

This is where this authority is truly shocking.

Thinking about it, Zhang Jian could also understand why countless immortals and gods had gone mad in their search for the "Xuanming Divine Position" back then.

Such power is simply too astonishing.

The "Xuanming Divine Position" lies beyond even the Three-Reversion Dao Lords in the Chaos Primordial Sea, making it supreme—indeed, one could say it is of the highest rank, on par with the Heavenly Emperor, the Dao Venerable, and sharing the same status.

This status does not represent combat strength, but for contention, the support it grants to cultivation is immense.

Like him, with multiple Dao Lord statuses bolstering him, whether it is the growth of eternal Dao progress, or the forging of eternal will, increasing the Dao Lord's primordial spirit, or cultivating eternal Dao laws and comprehending the Great Dao, all will be aided.

For the strong, some things may not be needed temporarily, but they must not be lacking when needed.

……

Three Sovereigns Heaven Realm, Five Emperors City.

This is a colossal divine city entirely distinct from the Three Sovereigns City.

Likewise prosperous.

However, this city lies far from the central region of the Three Sovereigns Heaven Realm, the Fire Cloud Cave, and is instead established in the east.

The Zhang family has developed extremely rapidly these years, and even within the Five Emperors City they have established outposts and industries.

After receiving the invitation from Dao Lord Yuzhuo, Zhang Jian entered the outskirts of the Five Emperors City.

By the banks of the Heaven-Reaching River.

Mist and water stretch endlessly, vast and magnificent; this heavenly river takes as its source several magnificent divine mountains of the Three Sovereigns Heaven Realm, flows through the eastern immortal domains, vast and boundless, and along its course, who knows how many immortal streams and lands it has nourished?

A purple-yellow immortal light fell from the void, landing before the boundary marker. Gazing at the distant, vast river surface, Zhang Jian could not help but feel a sense of the heavens being high and the earth far, his mind open and spirit delighted, as if the endless blue sea surged not upon the earth, but deep within his Dao-heart.

Yet upon the river surface, at this moment a small flat boat slowly emerged from the ripples of wind and water, and Zhang Jian had already seen the figure of Dao Lord Yuzhuo.

She wore a simple green robe, like a scholarly youth wearing a headband, in the prime of her youthful charm, though between her brows still lingered an undeniable hint of subtle allure.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian transformed his form into a streak of light, crossing a thousand zhang in an instant to land upon the small boat, and at the same time he smiled and said.

"The place the Dao Lord chose for our meeting is indeed excellent—water and sky connected, vast and magnificent, making one forget worries upon seeing it!"

Dao Lord Yuzhuo heard his words and replied.

"The Heaven-Reaching River is a great river; among the many rivers of the Three Sovereigns Heaven Realm, it ranks among the foremost. It is said this river was opened by a great divine power who modeled it after the Heaven-Reaching River of the Earth Immortal Realm, and many interesting events have occurred within it!"

Zhang Jian gave a slight nod.

"Many past events have faded with the passage of time, gradually submerged in the flow of ages. Though we are immortals and gods, Dao Lords, in the boundless void of the myriad heavens, what are we but a grain of sand in the vast sea?"

Dao Lord Yuzhuo heard his words, yet she did not quite agree.

"Your words are mistaken, Fellow Daoist. Anyone who has proven themselves as a Dao Lord regards heaven and earth as a grain of sand in the sea, and ages as an anchor. Though the void of the myriad heavens is vast, it is no more than our hunting ground where we roam freely!"

In the depths of her eyes lay a profound intensity of confidence and domineering aura.

Zhang Jian gazed upon this extraordinarily confident Dao Lord, and a ripple stirred in the depths of his eyes.

Their Dao-hearts seek different things, yet Zhang Jian saw no need to argue with her.

What he seeks is the Great Dao; in other words, the pursuit of countless unknown truths between heaven and earth, and the enjoyment of this pursuit of unknown knowledge, the practice of truth.

He does not dream of merely breaking through realms; he simply wishes, in the pursuit of truth, to enjoy every experience encountered along the way, while protecting those around him, sharing in carefree ease and freedom.

His Dao-heart leans toward those ancient cultivators who pursued the Great Dao, or toward ancient divinities.

Of course, if possible, he likewise hopes to achieve the Primordial Beginning and walk the Earth Emperor's Great Dao that he himself has established.

Dao Lord Yuzhuo may pursue even more.

Possibly many obsessions he does not understand.

Perhaps even the idea of contending for heaven and earth, of mastering one domain.

However, for now there is no conflict between them.

Zhang Jian also does not feel there is any superiority or inferiority between them.

Seeing Zhang Jian smile faintly and not argue, Dao Lord Yuzhuo then clarified the purpose of this journey.

"Earth Emperor Fellow Daoist, before the transaction, may this deity ask you one question: do you know the origin of the Four Seas Pearl?"

Zhang Jian thought for a moment and then replied.

"This object is formed from the primordial age, when the myriad springs of the desolate four seas converged and nurtured, transforming into what it is, containing the power of the many sea eyes of the four seas, hence its name, the Four Seas Pearl!"

These are all seen from the heavenly and earthly imprints within his Four Seas Pearl.

Dao Lord Yuzhuo gave a slight nod, and at this moment she added.

"However, Fellow Daoist, do you know that the Four Seas Pearl is also known as the Sea Emperor's Pearl? It is also one of the sources used by the leader of the ancient dragon clan to create countless later sea clans, hence it is also a sacred object revered by countless water clans, and one of the supreme treasures of fortune that suppresses the water clans of the myriad heavens void!"

As for who that person is, Zhang Jian naturally knows.

The Ancestral Dragon!

Leader of the ancient dragon clan.

However, a great divine power cannot directly speak its name, for it inevitably evokes a sense of induction.

Zhang Jian slightly furrowed his brow.

"Is the sacred object of the water clans not the Four Seas Vessel?"

Dao Lord Yuzhuo smiled faintly and said.

"The Four Seas Vessel is now in the hands of my master; it is indeed a sacred object of the water clans, and also the innate divine object my master uses to replace the Four Seas Pearl!"

Dao Lord Yuzhuo gazed upon the vast Heaven-Reaching River, and a hint of tranquil color appeared in the depths of her eyes.

"At the end of the ancient era, the boundless kalpas descended, triggering the great war of the three clans, immortals and demons clashing, countless innate and acquired beings perishing in an instant. My master, upholding the heavenly virtue of cherishing life, reshaped the seas, thus gradually replacing the original myths and standing anew at the source of the seas, and moreover, by using the Four Seas Vessel, she reestablished a new dragon clan and the distant sea clans, so that all water clans jointly revere my master as Water Mother, Dragon Mother, and even as the source of all the seas."

"The passage of time may cause countless beings to forget everything, yet it will not make them forget their source!"

"But the existence of the Four Seas Pearl will not be erased!"

After a brief pause, Dao Lord Yuzhuo continued.

"Moreover, my master was compassionate; back then she did not actively cleanse the remaining water clan beings, hence even now, in the myriad heavens void, a considerable portion of water clan beings who follow that person still exist, and they also revere the Four Seas Pearl as a sacred object!"

"Now, Earth Emperor Fellow Daoist, you should understand the significance of the Four Seas Pearl for the water clans of the myriad heavens void!"

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered, as if lost in thought.

"In other words, whoever controls this object will gain the recognition of these celestial water clans and obtain a portion of their fortune."

There was something unusual in his eyes.

Yuzhuo Dao Jun sighed softly.

"Your master has also been searching for this object's whereabouts, but it has remained hidden and unmanifested. Yet a being of great divine power concealed it with a secret method, making it impossible to retrieve—until recently, when calculations showed it had emerged into the world. Thus, he ordered me to go and recover it. However, it was indeed unforeseen that the deity who took this object would be the Earth Emperor Dao Friend!"

"The arrow is on the string; even this deity has no choice but to act!"

Zhang Jian's eyes showed an unusual expression.

Secret method concealment?

Yuzhuo Dao Jun must be referring to the techniques of Hou Tu Niangniang!

With Hou Tu Niangniang's cultivation, if she truly wished to conceal his whereabouts, the Water Mother Niangniang might not be able to calculate his traces.

Yuzhuo Dao Jun sighed at this moment.

"Still, Little Junior Sister is blessed—sitting at home, fortune falls from heaven!"

Yuzhuo Dao Jun's eyes held a hint of envy.

Zhang Jian glanced at this sighing Dao Jun.

Zhang Jian had indeed prepared to give the Four Seas Pearl to Bai Li Ying.

Now that he understood the reason, he naturally would not insist.

He is not of water clan descent; holding the Four Seas Pearl would not allow him to maximize its benefits.

Bai Li Ying is of dragon descent and also a disciple of the Water Mother Dao Palace; obtaining this treasure would be mutually beneficial.

Moreover, with this great fortune, this Yan Ji also has hope of breaking through the Great Calamity of Annihilation.

Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, merely gazing at Yuzhuo Dao Jun as he asked.

"How does this relate to the transaction you mentioned, Dao Friend?"

Yuzhuo Dao Jun's expression slightly tightened as he revealed the secret of the Four Seas Pearl—also considered her sincerity—and then continued.

Recently, this deity wandered through the celestial dimensions and by chance encountered a desolate origin, where heaven and earth dimensions had shrunk, an undetermined celestial realm. That celestial dimension was falling toward Gui Xu, but after careful inspection, this deity discovered that although the realm appeared desolate and its origin withered, it actually concealed hidden vitality. If a being of great divine power entered and cast spells to revive it, there is indeed hope to free it from Gui Xu and restore it to the celestial ranks!

At this moment, Yuzhuo Dao Jun's eyes fell upon Zhang Jian, and deep within her pupils shone an incomparably bright light.

"Earth Emperor Dao Friend should know: saving a world from the demonic path, from Gui Xu, brings immense merit and fortune. If one can assist an unknown celestial realm in escaping its fate of falling into Gui Xu, rekindling its vitality, it is undoubtedly boundless merit!"

After a slight pause, deep within her eyes shone intense radiance.

"Moreover, there's no need to say—controlling a celestial realm, even if shared between you and me, would be of immense help in breaking through to the Third Transformation Dao Jun!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's expression became solemn, and deep within his Dao heart arose some ripples.

A stir rose in his heart.

Redeeming a celestial realm, he naturally knew the boundless benefits it contained.

This might be enough for a great divine power to accumulate the foundation of a Dao尊.

Like the successful ascension of Dong Hua Tianjie—even if many great divine powers acted together, and strong cultivators from all sides shared the benefits, Chun Yang Dao Jun also gained greatly. Rumor says it won't be long before there is hope to step into the realm of Dao Zun, such supreme power.

With such benefits, how could Zhang Jian not be moved?

Seeing Zhang Jian's expression, Yuzhuo Dao Jun then spoke softly.

"And that Four Seas Pearl contains the supreme savior object for nurturing the vitality of all celestial oceans!"
