Chapter 671: New Rank (4K)

Besides, he could also split the Pure Purple Rank of the Earth Soul Divine Lord, choosing to merge part of its authority into the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank.

If the two Pure Purple Ranks could be exchanged for the promotion of the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank to Pure Purple.

Even if it is not a universal Dao Venerable Rank, for Zhang Jian, it is of great significance.

With an idea in mind, Zhang Jian immediately took action, first condensing the Pure Purple Rank of the Green Lotus Savior Heavenly Venerable alone.

This Pure Purple Rank merged with his Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds, and relying on this rank, his control over the great Dao rules of salvation, the netherworld, heavenly way, purification, life and death, reincarnation, etc., reached an unimaginable state.

Zhang Jian slightly sensed the vast divine power brought by this Pure Purple Rank, but after a moment, he did not linger and separated one authority from it.

Above his Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds, the Primordial Jade Pearl radiated brilliant light, the Supreme Great Bright Cloud, the Merit Great Bright Cloud, and the Heavenly Heart Great Bright Cloud appeared; in the transcendent Primordial perspective, he clearly perceived the myriad mysteries of heaven and earth within the Green Lotus Savior Heavenly Venerable Rank.

As he employed the secret method, several strands of divine light merged into the Green Lotus Savior Heavenly Venerable Rank.

Strand after strand of divine light rushed into the Pure Purple Rank, and shortly after, as Zhang Jian formed hand seals, instantly the entire Green Lotus Savior Heavenly Venerable Rank hummed and transformed into dozens of clusters of divine light scattered in the void.

These dozens of clusters of divine light are the divine authority positions decomposed from the Green Lotus Savior Heavenly Venerable Rank.

Among them, three clusters showed a cyan-purple hue, which are three Three-Revolution Dao Lord Ranks, close to the edge of the Pure Purple Rank.

The left cluster, cyan-purple in color, is the Three-Revolution Dao Lord Rank of the Netherworld Sovereign Authority, containing the netherworld, the underworld, life and death, reincarnation, profound yin, etc.

The central cluster is purely the Green Lotus Savior Dao Lord Rank, including salvation, purification, yin and yang, etc.

The right cluster is primarily based on heavenly way and merit authority.

The other dozen or so clusters of divine light are mostly golden, or golden-cyan, indicating that these authority ranks are near the Great Perfection of Taiyi, or at the level of Taiyi Heavenly Immortal.

Zhang Jian glanced at the three cyan-purple clusters of divine light, feeling some emotion.

This kind of splitting is actually a loss.

One Pure Purple Rank splitting into three Three-Revolution Dao Lord Ranks, no matter how you look at it, involves great loss.

No matter how many Three-Revolution Dao Lord Ranks there are, they cannot compare to a Pure Purple Rank.

But since it is for his own Dao path, Zhang Jian will not bother with these losses.

Moreover, with the Pure Purple Rank of the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court as a foundation, he can withstand such losses!

After a brief pondering, Zhang Jian summoned the three strongest ranks on his body.

Specifically, the Pure Purple Rank of the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court, then the Pure Purple Rank of the Earth Soul Divine Lord, and finally the Two-Revolution Dao Lord Rank of the Earth Emperor Dao Lord.

As for other similar ranks such as the Sage Rank, the Nether Moon Emperor Lord Rank, and the Three Realms Nine Nether Investigating Spirit Emperor Lord Rank, for Zhang Jian, they can only be considered temporarily unusable.

These powerful ranks, Zhang Jian also prepared to use them all at once, thoroughly merging them into the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court Rank, or into the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank.

With a thought, Zhang Jian first absorbed the cyan-purple Netherworld Sovereign Rank, merging it into the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank.

His Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank inherently has two main veins, namely the Nine Nether Emperor Lord and the State and Altar Emperor Lord; after absorbing the Netherworld Sovereign Rank, the Nine Nether Emperor Lord Rank can merge into the Nine Nether Sovereign, thereby greatly enhancing the origin of the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank!

Only seen after absorption, the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank deep within had purple qi entwining, greatly rising, and in an instant broke through the bottleneck of the Three-Revolution Dao Lord Rank.

Only seen deep within the Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds at his brow, the cyan-purple destiny gradually transformed the cyan qi into purple qi, until only a trace of cyan qi remained.

Zhang Jian felt this change, and a hint of smile appeared at the bottom of his eyes.

Although only promoted to the Three-Revolution Dao Lord Rank, it made him feel an extraordinarily solid sensation.

With a thought, divine power could penetrate the netherworld and the underworld, evolving life and death reincarnation from the earth.

Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.

Moreover, immeasurable netherworld rules mysteries merged from the Earth Emperor Rank with the Earth Emperor Dao Fruit, jointly verifying their mysteries.

Although he previously controlled the Pure Purple Rank of the Green Lotus Savior Heavenly Venerable, he had always been cautious, fearing that this rank would pollute his path, lure him astray, as if walking on thin ice.

But the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank is his natal rank, and using it feels more natural and effortless.

Moreover, after the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank is promoted to Three-Revolution, he will not need long before considering an assault on the third Great Calamity of Destruction, to prove the Three-Revolution Dao Lord Rank.

This power, compared to the Earth Soul Divine Lord and the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court Rank, is much weaker, but Zhang Jian feels genuine joy.

This is his Dao foundation.

After briefly familiarizing himself with the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank, Zhang Jian immediately turned his gaze to the remaining Green Lotus Savior Dao Lord Rank and the Heavenly Scroll Dao Lord Rank, and instantly absorbed them thoroughly with the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court Rank, along with the other dozen or so golden, or golden-cyan destiny clusters.

After absorbing these destinies, the divine light emitted by the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court Destiny became even more dazzling, adding a layer of magnificence, vastness, and the power of compassionate salvation.

Zhang Jian sensed that after absorbing these ranks, although the power of the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court Rank increased, the increase was limited.

The Dao Venerable-level rank's volume is too vast.

"But if he could obtain the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm, or the investiture of the Heavenly Court, there should be a chance to promote to the universal rank of the Chaos Primordial Sea!"

Zhang Jian's eyes fluctuated.

"The universal rank" holds greater value in the myriad heavens void.

This is also one of the conditions for the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm to enter the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm, or to be under the Heavenly Court.

The Holy Emperor, Emperor Lord, or the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court obtaining a heavenly realm as celestial ministers increases their fortune greatly, but the Celestial Court Heavenly Emperor receiving formal investiture is no less than gaining an additional great fortune, thereby breaking the limit of the singular pole Dao Venerable Rank.

Zhang Jian briefly familiarized himself with the changes after the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court Rank absorbed the Green Lotus Savior Dao Lord Rank and others.

The changes are not significant.

The salvation, purification, yin and yang, etc., authorities are still contained within the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court Rank, only that part of the salvation, purification, etc., constructive elements' proportion increased.

Next is the Earth Soul Divine Lord Rank.

This Pure Purple Rank actually overlaps greatly with the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank, and is more helpful to the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank.

Zhang Jian does not intend to split this rank, but prepares to merge it directly into the Earth Emperor Dao Lord Rank.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's expression is somewhat complex.

The Earth Soul Divine Lord Rank was bestowed by the ancient true goddess Nüwa.

He has actually been hesitating.

Because this rank's meaning far exceeds his own support.

The goddess Nüwa, deity of the Earth Soul, these words carry extraordinary weight.

But Zhang Jian still decided to merge.

The primordial true goddess Nüwa had long since become a myth, rarely appearing in the world; instead of stubbornly clinging to the position of the Earth Soul Divine Lord, it would be better to merge into the position of the Earth Emperor Dao Lord.

Moreover, if there is truly a destined connection, he will certainly meet this primordial true goddess again in the future.

Furthermore, after he, with the position of the Earth Emperor Dao Lord, annexes the position of the Earth Soul Divine Lord, it does not mean he abandons the divine identity of the primordial true goddess Nüwa.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhang Jian did not hesitate and directly began to slowly merge the position of the Earth Soul Divine Lord using the position of the Earth Emperor Dao Lord.

During this process, he must pay special attention.

Because the position of the Earth Soul Divine Lord is far stronger than that of the Earth Emperor Dao Lord, he must not allow it to reverse the guest-host relationship; otherwise, it would also affect his path.

Although these two positions overlap somewhat, their emphases differ.

One leans toward the pure earth, mountains and rivers.

The other encompasses both the yin and yang aspects of the earth, accommodating the imperial way.

The Earth Emperor is the supreme ruler who governs the yin and yang of the earth, the myriad spirits of mountains, rivers, and the state altars.

Not only does he govern the earth, but also includes deities and living beings.

……

In the Taiyuan Heaven, here is the hub of the celestial court's heavenly realm water element great Dao rules; after heaven and earth restored tranquility, Yuzhu Dao Lord chose to establish his own Infinite Dao Palace here, and opened the Dao Palace, lecturing on the Dao to the myriad deities born from the water elements of the heavenly realm, expanding the influence of the Infinite Dao Palace.

Over the course of three thousand years, it gathered more than half of the river and lake deities of the heavenly realm; even the Heavenly Pool Emperor Lord among the seven great primordial emperors of the celestial palace declared himself a subordinate deity of Yuzhu Dao Lord, greatly enhancing his prestige.

Furthermore, this place gradually became the recognized source of the dragon and water deities of the heavenly realm; the name Infinite Mother Goddess gradually became a new legend and myth of the heavenly realm.

At this moment in the fairyland, countless intense water-attribute innate essences surged and scattered in the void, carrying the grand Dao rhythm of myriad things in the water marsh.

The Infinite Mother Goddess Yuzhu Dao Lord stood upon a cloud platform; at this moment, her entire body circulated with a layer of intense Dao Mother aura, holy and pure, moreover containing a divine power that nurtures the water elements and myriad laws of heaven and earth.

In an instant, as if sensing a change arising in the depths of the void, she proactively stopped the evolution of the water element's great mystery, causing the many newly accepted subordinate deities, disciples, and students to disperse in all directions.

At this moment, her gaze fell upon the void, and suddenly she saw in the depths of the heavenly realm countless earth essences suddenly tremble.

Whether it was the Taiyuan Heaven beneath her feet or other Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the surging earth essences suddenly converged toward the direction of the Ultimate Heaven Celestial Palace; the River of Fate trembled slightly above, and moreover, a purple aura became visible, a grand purple-yellow divine light condensed from within, faintly resonating with the heavenly Dao of the heavenly realm.

Outside the heavenly realm, the chaotic primordial sea faintly manifested, projected, but that grand omen vanished instantly.

Only the vast power revealed within that purple aura still caused some deities of the heavenly realm to feel startled and terrified, as if under that thread of divine power, they were merely somewhat larger ants.

"Pure Purple Position, the Body of a Dao Venerable!"

Upon the cloud platform, Yuzhu Dao Lord gazed afar at this scene; the envy in her eyes could not be concealed.

How could this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor condense a Pure Purple Position so easily?

She recalled that this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor seemed to have already possessed more than one Pure Purple Position, and now he had condensed another?

Although it is not a universal position of the heavenly voids, it is still extraordinary.

While her Water Mother Dao Lord position has taken form, to advance to the Dao Venerable level she still lacks some foundation; she fears she must continue cultivating here for hundreds of thousands of years, or perhaps it is possible to achieve the goal.

Merely obtaining a single-pole Dao Venerable position in a hundred thousand years is already a good result.

This is also because she received a portion of the great fortune of salvation, the result of the Heavenly Scroll of Salvation.

But compared to this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor, that sense of gain is far inferior.

Yuzhu Dao Lord stood with her hands behind her back.

Not long after, Haiyan Dao Lord and Yuyu Dao Lord entered the Infinite Dao Palace on foot.

The two Dao Lords also sensed the omen on the River of Fate of the heavenly realm's fortune.

"Yuzhu Dao Lord, the sovereign of the heavenly realm again, has that Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor made another breakthrough?"

Yuyu Dao Lord directly stated his purpose, his expression carrying an inquiring look.

His cultivation is strong; previously he might have been somewhat stronger than Yuzhu Dao Lord, but now he dare not say he surpasses Yuzhu Dao Lord, especially suspecting that Yuzhu Dao Lord has cultivated the Water Mother Dao Body.

This point is the conclusion drawn by Yuyu Dao Lord and Haiyan Dao Lord from observing Yuzhu Dao Lord's actions over these thousands of years.

Yuyu Dao Lord firmly believes his judgment will not be wrong.

Therefore, facing this Eighth Wasteland Dragon Realm third elder who ranks after him, Yuyu Dao Lord has been much more courteous.

Haiyan Dao Lord's expression remains unchanged, but his purpose in entering the Infinite Dao Palace is not much different from that of Yuyu Dao Lord.

Yuzhu Dao Lord slightly nodded and said.

"Not bad, only fear that the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation has advanced further!"

She spoke calmly.

"Having assisted the heavenly realm in departing from the Return to the Void, completing salvation, I have indeed gained great benefits, but the benefits obtained by this Earth Emperor Dao friend must necessarily be greater than mine; the two Dao brothers must not at this time commit the fault of muddying the lake!"

In her words there is a hint, also intended as a reminder.

She does not wish to fall out with this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor over some external force.

That would be unnecessary and would also affect her interests in this realm.

If someone blocks her bright future, she will not be courteous.

Yuyu Dao Lord glanced at her and smiled.

"I have considerable self-knowledge; I cannot contend with a great deity who bears the Heavenly Emperor's position, but Haiyan Dao Friend attained the Dao very early, and moreover is a subordinate deity of the Water Mother Mother, so he may indeed have the qualifications to wrestle with that Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor!"

Haiyan Dao Lord glanced at the uneasy Yuyu Dao Lord, merely speaking calmly.

"To overturn a heavenly realm emperor, how difficult! If the previous heavenly emperor had not sought his own death and incurred heaven's guilt, who could easily kill him!"

After a slight pause, he continued.

"I merely feel some regret; this heavenly realm's potential is extraordinary; if it could be controlled for my dragon clan..."

Yuzhu Dao Lord's expression remained unchanged; she sensed that Haiyan Dao Lord resents her and Zhang Jian for independently exploring this unknown heavenly realm instead of directly reporting to the Water Mother Dao Palace.

Yuzhu Dao Lord then said.

"Who can say what personal affinities are destined? Not every Dao Lord possesses the ability to bring salvation; the Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor has these means and fortune; we can only envy!"

She has no intention of indulging Haiyan Dao Lord's plans.

Haiyan Dao Lord's eyelids twitched slightly; he had wanted to retort, but if the Nine御 Dao Lord had entered this realm perhaps the result would differ; however, after glancing at Yuzhu Dao Lord, he immediately said no more.

Since Daoist Jade Carving has cultivated the Dao Mother Dharma Body, he may truly become the heir of the Jellyfish Dao Palace in the future, so Daoist Sea Flame does not dare to easily offend this increasingly powerful Daoist.

In the end, Daoist Jade Carving's status in the Jellyfish Dao Palace is far above that of these Guardian Deities.

……

In the celestial realm of the Immortal Court, deep within the Immortal Palace, Zhang Jian felt a resonance between himself and the myriad voids of the heavens, countless fragments of the vast and desolate earth, and the boundless rules of the Netherworld Dao.

At this moment, two pure purple rank insignia shone brightly between his eyebrows.

Success.

After nearly three thousand years, he finally achieved an initial fusion of the Earth Soul God Monarch's rank, elevating the Earth Emperor Daoist's rank to pure purple.

As he accommodated the Earth Soul God Monarch's rank with the State and Altar Emperor Monarch's rank, the two main pillars of the Earth Emperor Daoist finally formed a new balance once again.

Strictly speaking, the weight of the Lord of the State and Altar still exceeds that of the Nine Abysses Sovereign.
