Chapter 672: Zhang Zhao's Opportunity, the Return of the Yin Yang (4K)

Because the status of the Earth Soul Divine Lord mainly comes from a part of the earthly origin of the vast wilderness heaven and earth.

This part of the earthly origin later scattered out, becoming the myriad heavens and void, the origin of the myriad heavens and worlds.

But his authority as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is merely a few idle netherworld underworlds.

The main body is still the netherworld underworld of the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm.

Although mighty, compared to the status of the Lord of the State and Altar, it is obviously inferior.

Zhang Jian could actually now integrate a part of the netherworld authority controlled by the Dark Moon Emperor Lord into it.

But after thinking, Zhang Jian did not do so.

Because the authority of the Dark Moon Emperor Lord comes from the Earth Mother Goddess.

Zhang Jian does not want to owe this goddess a favor.

This goddess's favor is not easy to repay.

Moreover, this goddess causes a lot of trouble.

Feeling the divine power of the newly born Earth Emperor Dao Lord's status, Zhang Jian did not directly leave seclusion, but continued cultivation.

Now the situation of the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm has been re-stabilized, which is a good opportunity for him to properly seclude himself and digest his accumulated cultivation.

At this time, his body bears the grand fortune of saving the world, and also the fortune of the Heavenly Emperor, in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort!

……

The grand breakthrough omen, Zhang Jian did not actively conceal it.

At this time, the stronger the power he displays, the fewer troubles there are.

If he hides and hesitates, it will instead cause some people to have thoughts they should not have.

People cannot withstand temptation.

The same goes for immortals and gods!

At this time, in the Source Candle Earth Realm of the Ten Heavens and Ten Earths.

This place is the pivot of the Ten Earths, the original earth, rugged and wild, the earth qi like a dragon.

Moreover, there is the Tai Ji Divine Mountain, the earthly root of the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm.

When King Yu and the Qingqiu Goddess entered to tour the Source Candle Earth Realm, they first took a liking to this mountain.

In fact, this mountain was also sealed by Zhang Jian using Heavenly Emperor divine power; besides them two, even if others took a liking to it, they could not break the seal of this place.

The two Dao Lords then reestablished the Tongshan Dao Lineage and the Qingqiu Dao Lineage here in this place.

After thousands of years, the two great world-stabilizing dao lineages in the divine mountain gradually became prominent, their power not weaker than the Wu Liang Dao Palace of the Taiyuan Heaven.

Of course, this is mainly because the Tongshan Dao Lineage is the dao lineage where the Heavenly Emperor resides, which can better gather people's hearts.

Secondly, the Tongshan Dao Lineage is supported by many strong ones transferred from the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm to sustain the sect!

Transferring strong ones from other realms, this is still a privilege of the Tongshan Dao Lineage and the Qingqiu Dao Lineage.

This is something other major powers do not possess.

The Heavenly Emperor sealed the territory, having already ordered that within twelve elemental meetings, the outer heavenly gates of the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm will not be opened.

This is to ensure that after twelve elemental meetings, he can completely control the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm.

"Another Dao Venerable status, Yu Dao's cultivation is progressing quickly!"

At this time, on the Tai Ji Divine Mountain, King Yu and the Qingqiu Goddess gazed upon the River of Fortune, their expressions somewhat sighing.

"The merit of a realm lord is not inferior to that of the Primordial Ancestor God; such great achievements, such great fortune supporting them, Yu naturally progresses in cultivation at divine speed!"

King Yu slightly nodded.

As a lord of the mundane realms, he has also done so, deeply knowing the great fortune a realm lord brings to oneself.

Not to mention a heavenly realm similar to the Earth Immortal Realm, truly a great fortune.

Comparing people to people can indeed make one angry to death.

Even he, after being busy for so long, has never had such fortune, solely controlling a realm.

At this time, his gaze fell upon the purple qi spreading above the azure heavens, and the projection of the retreating primordial chaos ocean.

The only regret is that, even if one controls a heavenly realm, to turn the gathered Dao Venerable status into a universal status, one still needs opportunity.

This cannot be achieved by mere resource accumulation; it requires a unique understanding of status, completely mastering it, to gain the recognition of the primordial chaos ocean.

This he has experienced.

He also has within him a universal-type Dao Venerable status.

That is the status of the Human Sage Emperor.

The Qingqiu Goddess's beautiful face bore a smile as she said.

"We can also be considered to have basked in Yu's light; before long, the immortals and gods of the Tongshan Dao Lineage will all be able to make progress in cultivation!"

The great fortune carried by a heavenly realm, as an existence recognized by the Heavenly Emperor, entering this realm is like having the Heavenly Scroll on one's person, naturally making everything go smoothly.

As long as one does not court death, gaining some benefits, even utilizing this realm's abundant ownerless primordial qi to nurture corresponding innate divine bodies is not impossible.

King Yu also felt that he is not far from the Dao Venerable realm.

After thinking, he then said.

"This realm also has humans; they should be the seeds of the Human Dao that drifted here and were born, I wish to reshape the Human Dao of this realm, enlighten one Human Emperor to rule this realm, thereby re-establishing the essence, qi, and spirit of the human race of the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm!"

These years, King Yu and the Qingqiu Goddess wandered the Celestial Court, yet found that the humans of this realm are completely in a state of enslavement by the Celestial Palace, submitting passively, which makes King Yu very dissatisfied.

How can such a human race contend with the myriad races of this realm? Therefore, he intends to reshape the human will.

"Your Majesty, whom do you prepare to enlighten as the Human Emperor?"

The Qingqiu Goddess already knew King Yu's plan, so she was not very surprised.

King Yu laughed and said.

"Outside the Fat Water Tribe, in the field of Tian, that boy Zhang Zhao will do; as a bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor, and having once been the lord of a holy dynasty, he may have hope to achieve the Holy King Dao Fruit, to hold fast the Heavenly Court's family business!"

Qingqiu Niangniang smiled faintly.

"Ziwei belongs to the divine, which is fitting; this realm's Ziwei has no master, so when he completes his tribulation, he may also take charge of this realm's Ziwei and become the junior sovereign of the celestial court!"

Yu Wang nodded slightly.

After the two Dao Lords had their plans, they sent a message to the heavenly court, inquiring about Zhang Jian's attitude, and then Yu Wang went himself, personally entering the Central Heavenly Realm.

Of course, Yu Wang's return to the Central Heavenly Realm was not only for this matter, but also concerning the归属 issue of the celestial court's heavenly realms.

Yu Wang prepared to personally participate in the negotiations to secure more favorable terms.

……

Central Heavenly Realm, the Purple Micro Emperor's residence.

Today, Zhang Zhao had the rare honor of being summoned by the Purple Micro Emperor; not only was his rank promoted by one level, but he was also directly transferred from the Taiwei Mansion to the Purple Micro Emperor's residence, and was granted an official position befitting a divine attendant.

Upon the emperor's throne, the Purple Micro Heavenly Emperor bore a slight smile, his gaze falling upon Zhang Zhao as he spoke.

"Zhang Zhao, how long have you served as the Taiwei Immortal Clerk in the Taiwei Palace?"

Zhang Zhao's expression became slightly reverent as he replied in a deep voice.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's favor, this humble immortal has served in the Taiwei Palace for nearly a hundred thousand years!"

Upon the emperor's throne, the Purple Micro Heavenly Emperor glanced over Zhang Zhao before him and said.

"With your talent, merely serving as an immortal clerk in the Taiwei Immortal Palace is a grievous waste!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhao's expression tightened; he was about to speak, but the Purple Micro Heavenly Emperor waved his hand to stop him.

"No need for empty words; I know the nature of you immortals and deities—each of you is worldly-wise and seasoned!"

His expression showed a hint of boredom, then he waved his hand and said.

"Enough, Zhang Zhao. You possess fortune and opportunity; I hope you do not waste this great fortune!"

After pondering, he added.

"From today onward, as my divine attendant, the core inheritance of the Purple Micro Emperor's residence shall be opened to you; you may go and peruse it as you wish. How much benefit you gain depends entirely on your own fortune, perseverance, and wisdom!"

He waved his hand, and immediately had Zhang Zhao leave the Purple Micro Emperor's residence.

Zhang Zhao departed the resplendent Purple Micro Emperor's residence in a daze, his expression somewhat strange.

The Purple Micro Emperor suddenly promoted him in rank and official grade—truly too sudden.

Tens of thousands of years ago, he had advanced to the rank of Taiyi True Number, then progressed to Sequence Seven.

Yet now, he remains far from attaining the Taiyi Heavenly Immortal realm, yet was inexplicably promoted to Sequence Eight and even exceptionally appointed as a divine attendant of the Purple Micro Emperor—this truly made him feel something was amiss.

The Purple Micro Emperor is one of the Six Sovereigns of the Heavenly Court; his Dao profundity is unimaginable.

To become a divine attendant of the Heavenly Emperor is the dream of countless immortals and deities in the Purple Micro Emperor's residence.

But those deemed worthy by the Purple Micro Emperor to be his divine attendants are exceedingly few.

Even a portion of the Purple Micro Emperor's residence, let alone the innate star deities of the Zhou Tian star lineage, lack this fortune.

After returning to his residence, Zhang Zhao confided in his Daoist consort, Shi Lier; the couple speculated endlessly but could not discern the reason, ultimately attributing it to the Purple Micro Emperor's recognition of his innate qualities.

But not long after, as Yu Wang entered the Purple Micro Emperor's residence, Zhang Zhao and his wife finally came to understand.

He was soon to become a heavenly prince of one heavenly realm, and also destined to be the reincarnation of the Human Emperor of the celestial court—thus earning the emperor's favor.

……

Yu Wang soon retrieved Zhang Zhao, though the negotiations were not proceeding smoothly.

The terms offered by the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm and the heavenly court fell short of expectations, requiring both sides to dispatch further immortals and deities to inspect the celestial court's heavenly realm.

For this, Yu Wang needed to return to the celestial court's heavenly realm to consult with Zhang Jian.

At present, he merely brought back Zhang Zhao and his wife, along with the Qi clan from the Nine Micro Emperor's residence and a portion of the Zhang clan as requested by Zhang Jian, into the celestial court's heavenly realm.

……

The ages flowed by; on this day, in the depths of the myriad heavens' void, boundless Yin power burst forth with divine light.

In the depths of the primordial chaos, a pure and magnificent moon emerged from the myriad heavens and spacetime, even from the River of Fate, slowly flying forth, breaking through endless obstructions, and then resonating with the Yin Star in the ancient starry sky.

Boom—

Moreover, boundless cataclysmic and destructive thunderous phenomena descended from millions of voids, falling upon the depths of the Yin Star in the Central Heavenly Realm.

The immense cataclysmic aura descended, carrying the magnificent power to destroy heaven and earth, for a moment drawing the attention of the myriad heavens' void and countless terrifying Dao fields—countless immortals and deities turned their gaze.

The Yin Immortal Maiden has returned!

The myriad heavens' void shall finally grow lively once more.

Yaochi Holy Realm; at this moment, numerous female immortals turned their gazes toward the depths of the Yin Star, each with different expressions.

The immortals naturally know well how the Yin Dao Lord once fell into reincarnation; they know that upon the Yin Immortal Maiden's return, she will certainly not let the Qingxu Dao Lord off easily.

Turbulence is inevitable here.

Yaochi, in the Hundred Flowers Immortal Realm; here, countless rare flowers and spiritual herbs of heaven and earth are spread about, as if all the blossoms of the myriad heavens' void can be seen here; the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden stands amidst myriad blossoms, the ancient floral deity's authority flowing around her; at this moment, her Dao cultivation is not only fully restored but has ascended to higher levels, having taken two steps forward within the Taiyi Great Perfection.

Her entire being flows with splendor, as if embodying the myriad blossoms of the Zhou Tian and the manifestation of all vital forces.

She appears as a mighty female immortal who governs the life and death, withering and flourishing of myriad living beings.

Gazing upon the firmament above, where the boundless calamity-ridden moon hangs, appearing extraordinarily ferocious, the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden furrowed her brows.

"It seems we must still avoid her!"

For these hundreds of thousands of years, she has repeatedly set out to pursue and kill this Yin Immortal Lord; she fears that upon his return, he will not let her go first.

The Yin Immortal Lord can do nothing to the Qingxu Dao Lord, nor to the Earth Sovereign Dao Lord, but he will surely be able to deal with these immortal maidens.

Fortunately, not long ago, the Earth Sovereign Dao Lord took control of a heavenly realm and invited these friends to seek opportunities there—perfect for escaping the limelight.

To avoid immortal battles harming the mortal world.

In the Yaochi Holy Realm, the Tai Su Dao Lord, Tai Yan Dao Lord, Tian Yue Dao Lord, and Tai Ming Dao Lord also witnessed this scene, their expressions varied, though their eyes held something subtle.

The Yin Immortal Lord's fate evokes sympathy, but during the time of his fall, too many changes occurred in heaven and earth; this thread of sympathy, with the passage of time, can retain only a few fragments.

Moreover, recent rumors say that the Earth Emperor Daoist Sovereign has regained control of a realm of heaven, and many immortals and gods wish to share in the spoils; with such momentum, who would dare offend the Earth Emperor Daoist Sovereign at this critical juncture?

Moreover, by solely governing a realm, the Earth Emperor Daoist Sovereign has boundless prospects, and the immortals and gods dare not provoke him lightly.

The relationship between the Azure Radiance Daoist Sovereign and the Earth Emperor Daoist Sovereign is clear to all immortals: they are steadfast allies.

At this moment, however, outside the Jade Pool, a stream of immortal light flowed and swirled, and the true form of the Azure Radiance Daoist Sovereign appeared; seeing this, the immortals hurriedly greeted him.

……

Six hundred thousand years passed silently.

The immortal palace stood lofty and ancient, towering above all beings; yet over these years, the aura of imperial majesty emanating from the palace has grown increasingly dense.

Upon the throne of the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court, Zhang Jian sat alone upon the Heavenly Emperor's throne, and at this moment another seat stood beside him.

That was the divine seat of the Heavenly Empress, Lady Qi.

At this moment, a profound and majestic immortal light and divine power flowed around his body.

Holding the pivot of the Tai Chi, the status of Heavenly Emperor of a realm, his scattered threads of divine power spread like heaven covering earth; even a trace leaked could trigger changes in all things of the heavenly realm of the Celestial Court.

After nearly one elemental cycle of governance, the chaotic signs in the heavenly realm of the Celestial Court gradually subsided; moreover, a thousand years ago a human emperor arose, governed heaven and earth, established the Holy Court that ruled over the ten heavens and ten earths, and the human race began to flourish.

The Heavenly Emperor of a prosperous age obviously possesses greater might than the Heavenly Emperor of a chaotic age.

"The time is also fast approaching!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian sensed the profound accumulation within himself.

He had largely unraveled the mystery of the position of Pure Purple Rank Earth Emperor Daoist Sovereign, and also of the Celestial Court Heavenly Emperor's status, including its heavenly mysteries, having solved part of it; such accumulation is sufficient for him to assault the Third Calamity of Annihilation.

Once he passes through the Third Calamity of Annihilation, he will also be able to rank among the vast divine powers of the heavenly void.

Zhang Jian remained calm; he had known tens of thousands of years ago that the Lunar Immortal Lord would return and re-establish himself as a Daoist Sovereign.

But now, with his current cultivation, he has no fear whatsoever of the Lunar Immortal Lord.

Rather, it is the immortals and gods behind the Lunar Immortal Lord who are worth considering.

Having made his decision, Zhang Jian gazed upon the surroundings of the immortal palace, and then directly assaulted the Third Calamity of Annihilation right here.

The vital energy here is intense, and he also holds the authority of the Tai Chi pivot; thus assaulting the Third Calamity of Annihilation is utterly convenient.

Of course, possessing the authority of the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court, he actually knows that passing through the Third Calamity of Annihilation is in fact now free of any difficulty.

With a flash of thought, he directly summoned the projection of the chaotic primordial sea from the unseen depths.

A surge of annihilating energy suddenly descended from the depths of the chaotic primordial sea, pouring into the immortal palace.
