Chapter 651: Gods' Praise, Qing Lotus Born (4K)

Entering an unknown heavenly realm, the first problem faced is the rejection of outsiders by the foreign heavenly Dao.

The foreign heavenly Dao will give birth to corresponding mechanisms.

That is heavenly tribulation.

Secondly, when outsiders enter, their qi and cultivation have not been converted, like a lighthouse, they will draw a full-scale encirclement and slaughter by native powerhouses, even imprisonment.

But Zhang Jian already had a way to solve it.

The heavenly court has rich experience in this aspect, and there are many ways to solve it.

Zhang Jian could actually also choose a gentler method, similar to how the Jade Carving Dao Lord silently and soundlessly infiltrated the Immortal Court heavenly realm, but since it was for a special goal, Zhang Jian naturally did not need to use such a low-profile method.

At this moment, above the void, Zhang Jian already felt the terrifying calamitous qi boiling and filling the heavens of the Immortal Court world, which was the qi mechanism being nurtured by the boundless calamities.

Besides this, there were also countless sinful resentment qi permeating the heavens of the Immortal Court world.

These were the resentment qi born from countless beings sinking into the sea of suffering without liberation, or from those tormented and unable to be liberated, giving rise to resentful hatred; these resentment qi drift between heaven and earth, accumulating thicker and thicker, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

In that boundless resentment qi, tens of millions of souls sink, but they are enveloped by a terrifying demonic light, becoming its 'resources'!

"Truly a twisted, mad world—such a heaven and earth, if it does not fall into the Return to Emptiness, what world should fall?"

At the same time, Zhang Jian gazed upward toward the firmament.

In the core region of the Immortal Court heaven and earth, there is also a rising sun high above heaven and earth, but at this moment it emits a dense blazing yang calamitous qi.

This layer of magnificent blazing yang calamitous qi is not friendly to the living beings on the earth.

This layer of blazing yang qi is too overbearing, even now seizing the vitality of countless living beings on the earth.

And at the same time, Zhang Jian perceived that above the firmament, there was solemnly a lunar star regulating the yang power, but that lunar star did not know what had happened, being extremely dim and weak.

This is yin-yang imbalance!

On the earth above, Zhang Jian also perceived that the foundation of the five-phase substances was somewhat loosened, with the water phase lacking, and the vitality between heaven and earth was gradually withering.

Although only a preliminary sweep, but combined with the words of the Jade Carving Dao Lord, Zhang Jian realized the Jade Carving Dao Lord had not exaggerated.

In the moment of thought, Zhang Jian's methods had already unfolded.

At this moment, before him appeared one after another magnificent talisman.

These were the Jade Emperor Divine Talismans he refined in the Nine Interstices Heaven Pagoda.

Their function was nothing else but to borrow a portion of the power of the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, thereby temporarily suppressing a portion of the heavenly Dao power of the Immortal Court heavenly realm, lest the heavenly emperor there use heavenly Dao power against him, to gain time for his own swift response.

This is the normal operation for the heavenly court to conquer other heavenly realms.

Who is the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable?

He is the sovereign of the heavenly Dao of the myriad heavens' void, executing the Dao on behalf of heaven, governing the myriad heavens, myriad worlds, myriad gods, myriad spirits, and myriad dharmas; he can be said to be the spokesperson of the myriad heavens' heavenly Dao.

This is the common status in the primordial chaos source ocean, and also the 'supreme status' acknowledged by the primordial chaos source ocean!

By relying on a thread of divine power from the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, one can confuse, and even shake, the heavenly Dao power of this heavenly realm.

If the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable himself descended, he might in an instant gain the heavenly Dao's recognition and obtain the supreme heavenly emperor status of this heavenly realm.

And at this moment, Zhang Jian intends to use the power of this divine talisman to make it a 'guarantor', or to thereby expound the demand of this heavenly Dao, ultimately responding to one of the most urgent demands of this heavenly Dao, thereby gaining recognition of 'identity' from this heavenly Dao!

This can, in the shortest time, obtain recognition of status from this heavenly Dao.

Of course, in this process, the most crucial point naturally is whether the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable can respond to this divine talisman and lend power.

However, for Zhang Jian, this is not a problem.

Before refining the divine talisman, he had already set up a Dharma altar and thus obtained a response of divine power from the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable.

At this moment, a total of thirty-six divine talismans flew out, transforming into massive talisman formations that rushed into the depths of the Immortal Court heavenly realm, gradually suppressing a portion of the heavenly Dao power of the Immortal Court heavenly realm.

Zhang Jian thereby successfully communicated with a portion of the source of heavenly Dao power, comprehended a portion of the heavenly Dao mysteries, immediately activated a portion of heavenly Dao power to descend, and before him it transformed into an altar.

Simultaneously, he made a great vow, responding to the demand deep in the source of the Immortal Court heavenly realm's heavenly Dao.

"I am the Qinglian Salvation Suffering Heavenly Venerable, vowing to come to redeem the Immortal Court heaven and earth, responding to the call, rushing to relieve suffering in all directions, only wishing the Immortal Court world to forever dwell in eternal bliss, not fall into the Return to Emptiness!"

He manifested the dharma form of the Qinglian Salvation Suffering Heavenly Venerable, a magnificent Qing lotus blooming beneath his feet, Qing lotus divine light bursting forth, connecting to the vitality deep in the dark void, creation, purification, the power of the salvation great Dao, one Qing lotus power after another bursting forth, carrying a magnificent power to purify heaven and earth, merging into the depths of the Immortal Court heavenly realm's source.

The vast three-prize innate creation Qing lotus divine light burst forth from this innate spiritual treasure beneath his feet, lotus after lotus blooming, the countless resentment and calamitous qi permeating the depths of the Immortal Court heavenly realm's source also eased slightly.

Tranquil, vast immortal light burst forth from within, a portion of the Immortal Court heavenly realm's heavenly Dao source was thereby drawn by him, flowing toward him to gather, beginning to respond to his great aspiration, great vow.

And as his words fell, deep in the Immortal Court heavenly realm, suddenly there emerged streams of magnificent fortune from the deep void, through the heavenly Dao altar condensed by the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, flowing toward Zhang Jian's innate depths.

Zhang Jian gradually felt himself gradually merging into the depths of the Immortal Court heavenly Dao source, being accepted by the Immortal Court heavenly Dao source.

Simultaneously, a radiant Dao Lord status condensed and formed from the depths of the Immortal Court heavenly realm's heavenly Dao source, magnificent purple-green fortune condensed and formed within, merging into the rolling magnificent status.

The Immortal Court heavenly realm dimension actually condensed a corresponding Qinglian Salvation Suffering Heavenly Venerable status.

This is a Dao Lord status, and also one of the most noble statuses in the Immortal Court heavenly realm, in no way inferior to the original six supreme Dao Lord statuses of the Immortal Court heavenly realm.

Yet it still has some falseness.

"Bold!"

"Heavenly demon, wanton!"

At this moment, in the deep void magnificent heavenly Dao source, from the depths of the six blazing suns came several angry shouts.

Especially the purple blazing sun at the core position of the Immortal Court heavenly realm's heavenly Dao source, it bore a magnificent, vast divine power, as if in an instant it wished to pierce through the endless river of time and space, descend across space, and scatter the purple-green Dao Lord status condensed by Zhang Jian.

This is the heavenly emperor of this heavenly realm, the Immortal Court heavenly emperor.

The status of this supreme heavenly emperor presents pure purple, obviously deeply favored by the Immortal Court heavenly Dao source, this power being unique.

Yet when that magnificent purple rising sun took flight, in the deep void suddenly appeared countless dense, terrifying black calamitous qi, which turned into chains extending toward him, naturally binding him tightly, making it hard to move.

"Having cultivation and status, but lacking the corresponding Dao heart and virtue, one can only display a moment's ferocity, like dry bones in a grave!"

Zhang Jian glanced and paid no heed.

Gazing at the magnificent Dao Lord status above his head not yet formed.

Subsequently, Zhang Jian again in one breath issued forth ten or more great aspirations, great vows, to supplement the main vow.

First, I shall transform into the ten directions to redeem all beings.

The second is to relieve the suffering of imbalance between the sun, moon, yin, and yang.

The third is to relieve the deficiency of water in the five elements, lest heaven and earth perish.

The fourth is to suppress the earth and clear the netherworld.

The fifth is: May heaven be pure and earth be tranquil!

The sixth is: May all beings be at peace and joy!

……

Altogether there are dozens of great vows, each great vow closely related to the redemption of heaven and earth and the resolution of immeasurable kalpas.

The power of the great vow, as his great oath ended, was silently recited as the Qinglian Salvation Treasure Sutra, transforming into boundless auspicious clouds, auspicious qi filling heaven and earth, myriad gods paying homage, boundless light arising, and moreover, in the void above, rolling torrents of merit-gold light condensed from the void into a vast ocean, gathering behind the venerable form of the Qinglian Salvation Heavenly Venerable, within which appeared the boundless Qinglian Pure Land divine realm, possessing the power to evolve the netherworld and ferry all beings.

The purple-azure Daoist sovereign's rank fell into Zhang Jian's body.

At this moment, the myriad mountains and rivers of the celestial court world, the will of the rivers and mountains forming the celestial court's heavenly Dao, violently trembled; boundless heavenly and earthly vital energy boiled, as if celebrating the birth of the seventh supreme Daoist sovereign between heaven and earth.

Between heaven and earth, there is now one more player of the game.

"Hail Qinglian Salvation Heavenly Venerable!"

At this moment, countless auspicious clouds and divine light fell from the void above, boundless power permeating the heavenly palaces of the celestial court's heavenly realm, the mortal world, and the netherworld; countless ghosts and gods, immortals and deities sensed that boundless power like a green sunrise, their expressions shocked, and immediately they unconsciously followed in silently reciting the Qinglian Salvation Treasure Sutra.

At this moment, on the mortal earth within the celestial court's heavenly realm, by the side of a vast river, the Jade Carving Daoist sovereign manifested her true form, gazing afar at the azure sun appearing above the firmament, her expression slightly sighing.

"This heavenly court's gate is truly unfathomably divine; even our side's heavenly emperor, in a short time, was actually restricted!"

Jade Carving Daoist sovereign could not help but admit that the heavenly court's method of conquering other realms is indeed powerful.

However, she is not of the heavenly court's direct lineage, unable to move the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, yet she cannot obtain a Daoist sovereign's rank through such a method.

At this moment she could feel that her Daoist sovereign's rank remained intact.

The Daoist sovereign's rank is an eternal certification, yet this celestial court's heavenly realm is remarkably wondrous; the celestial court's heavenly realm seems to have created a special immortal deity system, reforging the origin of the celestial court's heavenly realm; if not recognized by the celestial court, one's cultivation realm will always be subject to a certain degree of suppression.

Even Daoist sovereigns will be bound and thus targeted.

That is to say, one must follow the celestial court's system to pass this game.

To break the regulations established by the celestial court requires a long span of time; at least her previous primordial spirit incarnation also took hundreds of thousands of years, yet in the end it was still exposed and failed.

At this moment, myriad thoughts flashed through Jade Carving Daoist sovereign's mind, finally all condensing into a single thought.

Indeed, obtaining a Daoist sovereign's rank in a single step is important, but next she must still find a way to block the killing move of the celestial court's heavenly emperor.

Yet on this point, Jade Carving Daoist sovereign holds deep confidence in Zhang Jian.

Boom—!

At this moment, in the boundless depths of the celestial court's heavenly realm's firmament, magnificent divine light burst forth, a magnificent heavenly emperor's divine sword formed from the void, carrying terrifying divine power that slashes all things, falling from the void toward Zhang Jian to strike him down.

It seemed to sever his Qinglian Salvation Heavenly Venerable rank, together with his cultivation, primordial spirit, Dao-heart, eternal will, and even his realm, all at once, carrying the power to cut down all mighty forces.

This strike's power surpassed the realm of fivefold eternal Dao methods.

Undoubtedly, this is a Dao Venerable-level killing move.

Amid the azure blazing sun, Zhang Jian's expression changed slightly; he felt this sword light had pierced through time and fate, carrying a terrifying divine power of inevitable downfall, leaving him nowhere to escape.

At this moment he slowly lifted his gaze, yet saw that with a wave of his hand, a strand of azure immortal light flew out from deep within his palm.

A middle-grade innate spiritual treasure, third-grade innate creation Qinglian, blossomed from the void; within it, a divine prohibition Dao method flowed forth, the void giving birth to lifelike azure treasure lotuses, blooming within auspicious clouds and auspicious qi, holding back the purple sword light above his head.

The sword intent was exhausted, yet in the depths of the void, boundless scenes of great destruction arose accordingly.

A more perilous and terrifying light of destruction was born from the void; behind Zhang Jian's head, the boundless great light cloud appeared, the primordial jade pearl faintly revealing a terrifying killing intent descending from the depths of the void, causing boundless light to faintly carry a layer of gloom, a dim and dark hue.

Zhang Jian smiled faintly.

"Purple Yuan Emperor, why such haste? I am born due to the suffering of countless beings of the celestial court's heaven and earth, not to come and slaughter with the Emperor, our battlefield is not today!"

As his words fell, Zhang Jian's form instantly transformed into a strand of azure proud sun, falling toward the vast mortal realm.

The azure proud sun fell, as if boundless pure air descended upon the mortal world; even that myriad-zhang of red dust air was split open into a great road, yet after the azure proud sun landed, it instantly vanished into the vast red dust.

Above the firmament, a figure in amethyst-purple dragon-patterned emperor's robes appeared out of nowhere; around him swirled boundless violent purple qi light, within which seemed to burn boundless purple blazing flames, exuding a terrifying aspect of burning all things in heaven and earth.

The Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's face was cold, like heavenly Dao; his gaze swept over the nine heavens and ten earths, the boundless mortal lands, yet he could not find the other's figure.

This was not beyond his expectation.

Since the other had gained the celestial court's heavenly Dao recognition and obtained the 'Qinglian Salvation Heavenly Venerable' Daoist sovereign rank, it is certainly not something easily forced out.

Nor is it something that can be restrained by the three-realm rules he established.

"Truly an excellent Qinglian Salvation Heavenly Venerable, an excellent extramundane Daoist sovereign!"

This supreme and noble one, robed in boundless splendid colors, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes deep within flashed a thread of icy coldness.

He could feel the ill will of this extramundane Daoist sovereign toward him.

This will inevitably be a formidable rival in his solitary grasp of Qiankun and control of the heavenly Dao's path.

Yet for such an enemy, he also did not have too much worry.

Nothing else!

Ultimately, the gap between them is too great; how could one reverse Qiankun?

At this moment he again glanced into the depths of the boundless void's origin, where another five ancient Daoist sovereign ranks stood established in the void.

These are the five founders of the three teachings, one demon, one god in the celestial court's heavenly realm, each representing the five supreme players of the game in the celestial court's heavenly realm: namely, the three great creation Daoist sovereigns, and the two ancestral gods born from the great qi of heaven and earth, one demon and one god.

This time, the attitude of these five players of the game is thought-provoking.

Are they truly bound by the heavenly Dao's surging calamities, or do they harbor other thoughts?

A thread of strange divine light appeared in his eyes, his expression calm, then he immediately transformed into flowing light, entering deep into the celestial court's heavenly realm.

……

In the mortal realm, at this moment before a small thatched hut, within the azure divine light Zhang Jian manifested, yet within the thatched hut Zhang Jian felt a strand of spiritual light burst forth along with the infant's loud wail.
