Chapter 726

Since it was a one-time smooth passage, Zhang Jian had no need to resort to the backup plan.

Although the Golden Origin Dao Court had passed his plan, they still dispatched several Dao Lords to assist.

Named as assistance, they actually likely had supervisory intentions.

Because these Dao Lords were all Third Transformation Dao Lords under the Golden Origin Dao Court, and the Golden Origin Dao Court's few Third Transformation Dao Lords had nearly half dispatched here.

Zhang Jian didn't mind it either.

Previously, to avoid the Golden Origin Dao Court tearing down the bridge after crossing, he deliberately designed the Innate Divine Pool's blueprint to be overly complex when designing it, even tinkering into an Acquired Lingbao form.

Moreover, it contained multiple root-level secret arts.

Finally, he submitted it to the Danque Divine Emperor.

Now, even if implemented, for him naturally speaking, it would pose considerable difficulty, let alone the other Third Transformation Dao Lords, who might not even comprehend its profundities.

Zhang Jian prepared to first proceed step by step to construct the Creation Divine Net, perfecting the Innate Creation Divine Pool.

In refining the Creation Divine Net, Zhang Jian proceeded smoothly.

Based on the Zhou Tian Creation, he formed a colossal net of rules penetrating the Golden Origin Celestial Realm, encompassing all phenomena of Zhou Tian Creation into one.

One thousand six hundred years later.

As the Creation Divine Net took form, countless azure-green divine lights condensed behind him into shape, faintly revealing a magnificent Creation Azure Lotus coalescing within the Creation Divine Net, as boundless heavenly-earth creative power surged toward him.

At this moment, he seemed like an embodiment of the Boundless Creation Great Dao rules.

Zhang Jian opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing in the depths of his pupils; at this moment he seemed to have become the embodiment of the 【Creation】 concept of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm, feeling the Golden Origin Celestial Realm's deep void, the boundless chaotic primordial qi, heavenly-earth elemental qi passing through the Creation Divine Net and various divine nets into the Golden Origin Celestial Realm's depths—the Creation Divine Net would not only decompose boundless chaotic primordial qi and heavenly-earth elemental qi, but also continuously decompose the heavenly-earth spiritual mechanisms within the boundless seas of elemental qi inside the Golden Origin Celestial Realm, thereby creating heaven and earth.

But this was only the beginning; in an instant, a grayish-brown lotus reappeared behind Zhang Jian.

Countless gray-black lotuses emerged, and instantly a strand of gray divine light merged into the myriad heavens' void, resonating with an invasive, aberrantly tyrannical heavenly-earth Great Dao rule from the deep void, the Boundless Destruction Great Dao rule descended from the void, merging into the depths of the grayish-brown lotus.

At this moment he also embodied the Destruction Great Dao rule of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm.

Boundless Destruction divine energy burst forth from his entire body, as if manifesting the terrifying sight of boundless heavens and earth collapsing, destroyed from the void, falling into the Eye of the Return to Ruins.

Shortly after, the grayish-brown Destruction Lotus and the Creation Azure Lotus intertwined in the void, forming like a constantly turning Yin-Yang Taiji diagram.

The Creation Great Dao rules and Destruction Great Dao rules violently collided.

Countless destructive powers erupted from within, like heaven and earth splitting apart, nearly wanting to explode.

But instantly suppressed by the power of the Earth Emperor Divine Wheel.

That Earth Emperor Divine Wheel slightly rotated, seeming to contain infinite, boundless heavy power, easily accommodating the clash of the two forces.

The earth is the broadest, possessing infinite potential.

Under the suppression of the Earth Emperor Divine Wheel, destruction and creation intertwined, and the form of the Creation Sub-Net began to change; each line formed by a Creation Great Dao rule gradually twisted, becoming spiral-shaped, ultimately forming a multidimensional network that gradually covered the Golden Origin Celestial Realm.

At this moment, the Creation Divine Net rapidly took form, though the power it emitted was extraordinarily tyrannical.

Its essence was Zhang Jian intertwining the forces of Creation Root and Destruction Root; it was stronger than an ordinary second-level sub-net, already not inferior to the first-level main net crafted by the Nine Divine Emperors.

But Zhang Jian felt that standing out in the forest might not be good, so he concealed the two root forces, merely manifesting the pure sources of the two Great Dao rules, making it merely 'special' compared to ordinary second-level sub-nets.

Boom—!

The Creation Divine Net took shape in the void, immediately triggering anomalies in the two heavenly-earth Great Dao rules of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm.

Many cultivators of Creation and Destruction innate deities sensed it most clearly.

They only felt that the heavenly-earth Great Dao rules usually in resonance with their qi mechanisms had become more obscure, unfamiliar, with the Dao source gaining an additional lofty and distant atmospheric pressure source.

The various Divine Emperors also faintly sensed it.

Minghuang Continent, within the Minghuang Holy Hall.

Minghuang Divine Emperor gazed into the void with her eyes, sensing the resonance of those two heavenly-earth Great Dao rules, her pupils showing something unusual.

The intertwining of Creation and Destruction two heavenly-earth Great Dao rules was actually like Yin-Yang intertwining, forming a magnificent, vast heavenly-earth law net flowing through every void above the Golden Origin Celestial Realm.

Possessing both Creation and Destruction.

This far exceeded the scope of the Creation Sub-Net.

However, the Golden Origin Dao Court had no Destruction Sub-Net, so no conflict arose.

But one can imagine this operation would inevitably cause great ripples within the Golden Origin Dao Court.

But this matter has become reality; the Golden Origin Dao Court probably cannot dismantle his Creation Sub-Net.

Moreover, he still bears a special 'mission'!

"How cunning of him!"

A faint smile appeared in the depths of Minghuang Divine Emperor's eyes.

The Creation Great Dao rules and Destruction Great Dao rules are not ordinary Great Dao rules; together they can restrain the majority of heavenly rules.

Minghuang Divine Emperor's face sank in thought; at this moment she raised one palm, deep within her palm, strands of fate qi mechanism manifested.

That was the Fate Sub-Net.

But the Fate Sub-Net similarly was not merely the 【Fate】 concept; it also contained 【End Fate】, 【Intercept Fate】, etc.

……

After the Creation Divine Net took form, some Dao Lords could sense that the Golden Origin Celestial Realm's boundless heavenly-earth spiritual mechanisms were suddenly being orderly deployed, and some information flowed out from within the Creation Divine Net; the Creation Divine Net could regulate the density of heavenly spirit veins.

Especially targeting some great thousand, medium thousand, small thousand worlds; as long as merit was sufficient, one could apply via the Golden Origin Dao Court to have the Creation Divine Net allocate a portion of heavenly-earth spiritual mechanism to assist blessed lands and caves, or even to elevate a great thousand world.

This information surfaced, instantly causing the faces of many immortals and deities to change.

The authority of this Creation Divine Net is too great.

Some Dao Lords who originally bore hostility toward Zhang Jian could no longer sit still, hastily rushing to the Golden Origin Dao Court to file complaints.

……

In the Danque Divine Palace, Danque Divine Emperor also sensed the great commotion of the Creation Divine Net's emergence.

Beneath the Divine Emperor's throne, Jiu Xuan Dao Lord and Qing Yue Dao Lord both wore expressions of astonishment.

Jiu Xuan Dao Lord sighed.

"This Qinglian Dao Master sure knows how to seize every opportunity!"

Qingyue Dao Master shook his head.

"Qinglian Senior isn't afraid of the gods' impeachment, gathering multiple authorities into one net—this is seizing the opportunities of other Dao Masters!"

"The gods probably won't let this go easily!"

Jiu Xuan Dao Master said with a strange look in his eyes.

"If someone opposes, someone will support; besides, the die is cast—could they really dismantle that Creation Divine Net?"

Qingyue Dao Master said calmly.

"Why not?"

The two Dao Masters each have their own positions.

Jiu Xuan Dao Master, also a Three Transformation Great Divine Ability user, received a portion of the secondary sub-net authority of the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm Earth Net; since Qinglian Dao Master can do this, these Three Transformation Dao Masters can likewise follow suit.

But Qingyue Dao Master is only a Two Transformation Dao Master and has not yet obtained an exclusive secondary sub-net, still waiting for the allocation quota of the second batch of secondary sub-nets.

Now these Great Divine Ability users are doing this—doesn't that mean the quota for secondary sub-nets will be drastically reduced? Even more worrying is that other Three Transformation Great Divine Ability users might follow suit.

In that case, aren't we Two Transformation Dao Masters just sitting idle?

Where would our chance to rise be then?

The Danque Shenghuang at the upper seat didn't seem to mind at all.

As fellow Three Transformation Dao Masters, what Qinglian Dao Master can do, other Dao Masters may not necessarily be able to do.

The fusion of two great Dao rules into a shared sub-net—how could that be so easy?

Perhaps only the various Shenghuang possess such foundation.

But Qinglian Dao Master will inevitably still face trouble.

……

Within the Qinglian Mansion, sensing the Creation Divine Net beginning to formally connect to the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm, vast fortune poured down from the void, merging into the auspicious clouds above his Dao Fruit; Zhang Jian's eyes faintly glowed with a warm, moist radiance.

Not only the heavenly fortune of the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm, but also the invisible Dao of Heaven turning back.

This greatly benefits his comprehension of the profound mysteries of the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm's Dao of Heaven origin.

A foundation no less than that of the Earth Immortal Realm's vast domain origin—how could it not be fragrant!

Simultaneously holding the Destruction Dao rule also causes the evil corpse deep within his Dao Fruit to begin stirring restlessly.

Zhang Jian's eyes showed a strange expression.

He might be able to, before his true body breaks through to the other shore, prematurely possess the good and evil corpses.

At this moment, he can truly sense what it would be like to traverse the peak path—or the path of the strongest—what strength the Dao Venerable of the Other Shore would possess.

Once the evil corpse can prematurely strike forth, Zhang Jian will have a seventy to eighty percent chance of achieving the Peak Dao Venerable.

As for the path of the strongest, he also has a one to two percent chance.

This is already extraordinarily astonishing for any Three Transformation Great Divine Ability user.

Zhang Jian then settled his mind, focusing his attention on establishing the Innate Creation Divine Pool and designing many such Innate Divine Pools.

He knows trouble will inevitably come.

But once he presents the actual effects of the Innate Creation Divine Pool, he believes it won't be a mere trifling ailment!

……

As Zhang Jian expected, in the thousand years since the Creation Divine Net came into being, more and more powerful beings have come to the Golden Origin Dao Court to file complaints.

Under pressure from the gods, the Golden Origin Dao Court can only follow procedure, repeatedly summoning Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian also did not resist, merely arguing that the Golden Origin Dao Court has not stipulated that a Dao sub-net cannot contain only one concept, thus wrangling with the gods—of course, 'benefit transfer' was indispensable.

Zhang Jian also knows he is an outsider.

This is his weakness.

Even if he does everything perfectly.

Therefore, he first sacrificed part of his interests, reaching a benefit exchange with some Three Transformation Great Divine Ability users to buy time.

As for the Two Transformation and One Transformation Dao Masters, he simply ignored them.

Although these One Transformation and Two Transformation Dao Masters possess some authorities, how could they resist the benefits brought by the Innate Divine Pools he holds?

The only real trouble is that several Shenghuang have stepped forward to contend with him.

But Zhang Jian quickly found a new 'foothold'; he also did not mention that other Shenghuang similarly did this, merely pointing out that Creation and Destruction are yin and yang to each other—Creation of Destruction is not complete; he cannot possibly create a Creation Divine Net full of defects and loopholes.

Such meaning would not be significant, nor could it greatly repay the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm.

He likewise submitted various 'theoretical evidences' to the Golden Origin Dao Court!

These are solid proofs, including his insights into the two fundamental sources of Destruction and Creation.

Once these evidences are presented, even if the various Shenghuang wish to refute, it will be very difficult.

At the very least, they would need to spend a long time verifying his statements.

During this time, he successively refined several Innate Creation Divine Pools successfully.

Exactly three.

One of them is a post-heaven spiritual treasure-level Innate Creation Divine Pool; the other two are all fifth-rank eternal immortal treasures.

It is not that he cannot refine more post-heaven spiritual treasures.

But he is limited by the innate divine materials.

The materials are insufficient!

On this day, deep within the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm, accompanied by the resonance of various heavenly and earthly Dao rules, three magnificent divine lights burst forth from the deep void at three special positions, triggering resonance with the Creation Dao rule.

Moreover, vast thunderclouds were born; moments later, divine power violently tore apart the thunderclouds.

Boundless auspicious clouds and auspicious qi filled the air; moreover, golden light of merit descended from heaven into the deep void, falling upon the entire body of a magnificent deity, causing his vital energy to faintly surge.

At this moment, beside the first Innate Creation Divine Pool, several towering figures emerged from thin air.

The Yuan Huang, Dan Que Divine Emperor, Jin Huang, and Ming Huang Four Divine Emperors appeared first, followed closely by the Jin Xi Divine Emperor, Ming Zun, and the other Divine Emperors, who successively manifested their true forms.

Under the gaze of the nine Divine Emperors, a grand acquired spiritual treasure faintly aligned with the rules of the Boundless Creation Great Dao.

Around this Innate Creation Divine Pool, layers of Creation Origin Secret Arts were carved, or perhaps from other times and spaces, earth, and cyclical secret arts; there was also a grand origin-level defensive formation, the Creation Azure Lotus Formation, everlasting and unceasing.

Although the Divine Emperors had never seen it directly manifest divine power, origin-level secret arts are difficult to break.

Enough to sustain for a period of time.

These few breaths were also sufficient for the Divine Emperors of the Jin Yuan Dao Ting to arrive.

The Yuan Huang Divine Emperor swept his gaze and praised the Dao.

"Indeed, it is profoundly mysterious, possessing swallowing, storing, transforming, regulating, and other multiple capabilities. Such an acquired spiritual treasure is likely approaching the middle-grade spiritual treasure category. The artifact-refining ability of the Qing Lian Dao Master has truly opened my eyes!"

The Yuan Huang Divine Emperor praised without cease.

This was also an indirect acknowledgment of Zhang Jian's methods.

Even the Tian Feng Divine Emperor, who had always held a critical and scrutinizing attitude toward Zhang Jian, showed a hint of softness in his eyes.

Immortal gods with special abilities always earn a few more glances from the exalted.

Those great divine beings capable of refining acquired spiritual treasures are even more worthy of being looked upon with heightened regard!

Zhang Jian is the Dao.

"It's just a pity that refining such an Innate Divine Pool consumes too many heavenly materials and earthly treasures; to refine an acquired spiritual treasure-level divine pool requires too many innate materials..."

Yuan Huang said upon seeing this.

"Rest assured on this matter, the Jin Yuan Dao Ting will naturally provide you with sufficient supplies!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian slightly nodded.

He has now also tasted the sweetness from refining acquired spiritual treasures.

Not only does he gain merit, fortune, and heavenly scrolls, but he can also comprehend the profound mysteries of multiple heavenly and earthly Great Dao rules through this—why would he not do it?

……

Meanwhile, on another side, at a certain place on the land, a wandering Dong Huang Tai Yi clan sensed some changes in the void.

"This 'old fellow' truly doesn't let people rest easy!"

His eyes slightly furrowed.
