Chapter 662: The Appearance of the Innate Divine Person

Yu Zhuo Dao Jun's eyes flickered, his expression calm.

She smiled and said.

"It seems those three Dao Lords neither wish for the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor to win, nor do they wish for you to win!"

Zhang Jian nodded.

"Not bad. What they want is balance!"

"Too bad this balance is destined to be impossible to achieve!"

His expression was solemn.

Whether it is the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor or himself, neither would allow such balance to exist.

Moreover, in this battle against the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor, he probed part of the opponent's foundation, and what the other seeks is even more astonishing than he imagined.

Zhang Jian had previously noticed that the Heavenly Emperor's manifestation, the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Aspect, could accommodate the divine positions and divine offices of the immortals of the Immortal Palace, thereby strengthening itself and forming a terrifying Innate Divine Sacred Dharma Aspect.

This Innate Divine Sacred Dharma Aspect takes the Heavenly Emperor's position as its main, using it to command the pivot of Taiji.

If fully accomplished, it would naturally incorporate all the creations of the Heavenly Court and Immortal Realm into itself, then step onto the other shore and achieve the body of a Dao Venerable.

With the Dao source of a vast heavenly realm as its foundation, the Dao Venerable achieved would surely be extraordinarily tyrannical.

Zhang Jian's expression was indifferent; this point did not surprise him much.

To walk the path of Dao Venerable with the body of a Heavenly Emperor, such a Dao Venerable must necessarily be among the most tyrannical existences in the vast void of the heavens.

His Earth Emperor position likewise holds vast potential; if he can walk the Dao path, he too would be extremely tyrannical.

But now, the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's Innate Divine Sacred Aspect still has flaws.

In this encounter, Zhang Jian could feel that this Innate Divine Sacred Dharma Aspect is strong indeed, even capable of mobilizing the fundamental source of the Heavenly Court's Great Dao rules, yet it lacks coordination and flexibility.

Therefore, that Heavenly Origin Strike containing the Heavenly Emperor's position will not be so easily avoided by him.

And the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor will naturally seek to make up for this flaw.

He fears it will further draw upon the source of the Heavenly Court and Immortal Realm, causing this Innate Divine Sacred Dharma Aspect to transform from illusion to reality, thereby truly and completely occupying the pivot of Taiji in the Heavenly Court and Immortal Realm, and solely ruling over it.

When he next sees the opponent, his cultivation will likely only grow stronger.

He pondered, then shared some of the information he had obtained with Dao Lord Yu Zhuo.

One person's plan is short; two people's plan is long.

Upon hearing this, Dao Lord Yu Zhuo also voiced his own thoughts.

"I also saw that he should be walking the path of Innate God Dao, the ancient demon god clan; in the primordial era, many innate gods stepped onto the Dao Venerable realm, and not a few chose such a path to the other shore, using their own mastered fundamental positions to construct a complete Innate God body, fully merging with the fundamental position, and wielding greater power of the Great Dao rules!"

Zhang Jian slightly nodded, and images of the ancient final calamity, the struggle between water and fire, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

The true forms of those two water and fire giants manifested, shouldering the sun and moon, treading upon the boundless earth, their power truly terrifying beyond compare.

Even the dimensional demon god of immense size, beneath those two giant gods' feet, is no more than an ant-like existence, easily crushed underfoot.

To step onto the other shore with an Innate God body is also a broad and smooth road.

Zhang Jian had also considered this, but such opportunity relies too heavily on accumulation and inheritance.

For instance, the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor before us, in order to break through, even did not hesitate to damage the source of one vast heavenly realm, condensing the Innate God true body.

This is unacceptable, and the future troubles are endless.

In the vast void of the heavens, other paths may not be inferior to the path of Innate God breakthrough.

For example, Dao Lord Yu Zhuo condensing the Dao Mother Dharma Aspect, his way of breaking through.

Once successful, it too possesses magnificent power.

Zhang Jian can likewise choose to elevate the Earth Emperor Dao Lord position to parity with, or even surpass, the Dao Mother God and Heavenly Emperor positions, thus becoming a Earth Emperor God of the vast void of the heavens.

He believes that at that time, he too will be among the most powerful waves of existence in the vast void of the heavens.

As for the path of Innate God.

Zhang Jian had not previously considered it, but now, having personally clashed with such an existence, he has developed a few thoughts of probing.

"I just don't know what the most crucial factor is for him to condense the Innate God body; otherwise, I could adapt to local conditions and target him specifically!"

Dao Lord Yu Zhuo's expression was solemn.

Every path has its own characteristics; if one can strike specifically, then one can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Zhang Jian slightly pondered.

"As for that Heavenly Emperor God Person Dharma Aspect, the most crucial factor is undoubtedly the Heavenly Emperor position, followed by the Dao source, which requires sufficient heavenly creations, or perhaps boundless primordial energy to take shape; thirdly, the divine positions and offices of the vast void of the heavens!"

"Perhaps we can selectively spread some news!"

Dao Lord Yu Zhuo's expression was thoughtful.

Zhang Jian slightly nodded, then suddenly said.

"Dao Friend Yu Zhuo, are Innate Gods all extremely in need of consuming heavenly creations and innate essence and qi?"

In his mind arose the image of the water and fire giants, and the ancient twelve demon gods manifesting as twelve terrifying giant gods besieging the ancient Heavenly Emperor.

Including the magnificent Innate God aspect condensed by the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor, which seems capable of swallowing the boundless heavens and earth of the vast void; such terrifying power, to take form, would be extremely difficult.

This reminded him of his own Innate Ability, the Nine Transformations Chaos Qing Lotus Transformation and Birth Great Law.

When cultivated to the utmost, this law can also emulate the ancient sacred Pangu, forming a chaos great cocoon, nurturing the Innate God body.

However, cultivating this law also requires the aid of boundless chaos qi.

But the demand for pure chaos qi alone is obviously much lower than other requirements.

Within the chaos source ocean, chaos qi is vast in quantity, boundless and limitless—this is the most easily obtained resource.

Dao Lord Yu Zhuo slightly nodded.

"Indeed, the Innate God body is very powerful; its only flaw is the enormous resources required, so only those Innate Gods who once held part of the heavenly and earthly source in the primordial era have the foundation to walk this path—and succeed!

But after the primordial and medieval eras, as heavenly and earthly resources dwindled, the number of great divine beings walking the Innate God path has become much fewer!"

"If it were not for the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor sitting in possession of one heavenly realm, he might not have the confidence to walk this path!"

Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Yuzhuo, you say that the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor stole the source of the Heavenly Dao—is it truly possible to completely break through and achieve the rank of Dao Venerable?"

Daoist Yuzhuo glanced at Zhang Jian, a hint of something unusual in her eyes; she had been calculating this matter all along.

He said upon hearing this.

"The more of the Heavenly Dao's source that is stolen, the greater the backlash from the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm will be; once he reaches a certain stage, it will inevitably trigger the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, causing the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm to fall into the Return to the Abyss. If the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor has not succeeded by then, he will become a sacrificial offering for the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm!"

"If not in time, his Heavenly Scroll will continuously weaken, and the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm will gradually abandon him!"

Zhang Jian, upon hearing this, suddenly smiled and said.

"You say that at this moment, if there were another substitute, capable of letting him avoid the Heavenly Dao weakening his Heavenly Scroll, even the backlash—would he not attempt it?"

Daoist Yuzhuo furrowed her brows slightly, unable to help but ask.

"But what supreme treasure does the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm still possess that could let him avoid the Heavenly Dao's backlash and also replenish the missing boundless source?"

Zhang Jian laughed upon hearing this.

"There may be no dead treasures, but there are three living treasures..."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yuzhuo lifted her eyes, a hint of astonishment flickering in her gaze.

"You mean..."

Zhang Jian nodded slightly.

"These three are the essence, energy, and spirit born from the transformation of the Primordial Daoist Sovereign; they inherently contain the boundless creation of the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm. If one could devour these three, surely the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor could replenish part of his deficient source!"

Daoist Yuzhuo narrowed her eyes.

"That is indeed good news!"

Zhang Jian gave a slight nod, his expression now also carrying a hint of a smile.

The two Daoist Sovereigns exchanged a smile.

The three Primordial Daoist Sovereigns seek balance, but if they learn of this news, I fear this neutrality, this balance, will no longer be possible to speak of.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you plan to do next?"

Daoist Yuzhuo's gaze fell upon Zhang Jian.

"If this matter were to spread through our words, I fear those three frogs at the bottom of the well would not believe it!"

"By then, I fear it would backfire!"

Zhang Jian nodded and said.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured—I have my own plans for this!"

Having found the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's weakness, Zhang Jian will naturally make use of it.

But for Zhang Jian, the most important thing now is to strengthen his own cultivation, continue fulfilling the great vow he has made, so that the rank of the Qinglian Salvation Suffering Heavenly Venerable Daoist Sovereign and the rank of the Dipo God Sovereign may further transform.

If he can condense the two Dao Venerable ranks, even without the betrayal of the three Primordial Daoist Sovereigns, Zhang Jian is confident he can shatter this Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor.

……

After probing, the two Daoist Sovereigns adjusted their strategy, deciding to take the initiative. Daoist Yuzhuo prepares to continue repairing the Heaven-Earth Water Element Great Dao rules, using the power of the Four Sea Pearls to strengthen the impending emergence of the Dao Mother's rank power.

Zhang Jian is preparing to make arrangements first.

Zhang Jian prepares to go and have a proper talk with the three Primordial Daoist Sovereigns about this matter.

He must find a way to convince those three Primordial Daoist Sovereigns.

This matter is of utmost importance.

Secondly, Zhang Jian will not cease his actions in the Nine Netherworld Underworld; he will surely take the Nine Netherworld Underworld into his hands, which will greatly benefit his perfection of the great vow and even the perfection of the Diren God Sovereign rank.

……

Deep within the Immortal Palace, the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor sat upon the imperial throne.

Beside him were the Taiji Ancestral God and more than ten divine beings whose divine power was extraordinarily strong.

The Taiji Ancestral God wore snow-white robes, divine light swirling around his body, his expression somewhat fluctuating; the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor glanced toward the direction of the sun star at this moment.

He then spoke lightly.

"The killing aura in the sun star has vanished; the yin-yang Great Dao law between heaven and earth will also restore balance!"

The Taiji Ancestral God's expression shifted slightly; his vast, eternal will merged into the heavenly heart's transformation, though his eternal will could still sense the layers of terrifying stellar killing aura permeating the sun star, and he felt no change at all.

Yet he did not doubt the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's words; upon hearing them, he said.

"Then, will the realm-transcending Daoist Sovereign's cultivation advance further soon?"

"His progress is too rapid! If not suppressed early, it will surely become a great disaster!"

The Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor gave a slight nod, nine-colored divine light flowing in his eyes.

"This deity takes saving the world as his mission, but merely to seize the Heavenly Dao authority between the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm, thereby devouring all beings, ultimately stealing the Celestial Court—yet this also gives us a chance to destroy him!"

After a brief pause, he said.

"To utterly slay this one, the aid of the three Daoist Sovereigns is indispensable. Golden Seal, go to the Three Teachings' Ancestral Court and invite the three Daoist Sovereigns to enter the Celestial Court—just say I invite them to the Immortal Palace to jointly discuss the plan to eliminate demons!"

After a brief pause, the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor raised his hand to stop the attendant deity beside him, then smiled at the assembled gods.

"Forget it—to avoid an alliance of the three Daoist Sovereigns, let us first invite only two Daoist Sovereigns into the Celestial Court: first invite the Purple Cloud Daoist Sovereign and the Dragon Lineage Daoist Sovereign to arrive at the Celestial Court, to jointly discuss the grand plan!"

The attendant deity, upon hearing this, immediately clasped his fists and departed.

The Taiji Ancestral God watched this scene, yet felt slightly surprised; he sensed a hint of something unusual and prepared to take his leave.

At this moment, the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor raised his head, glanced at the Taiji Ancestral God, and smiled.

"Taiji, the upcoming matters also concern you somewhat—just stand aside and listen!"

Upon hearing the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's words, the Taiji Ancestral God's heart leapt, but he still nodded in agreement.
