Chapter 733: Danque Palace Severely Damaged, Seizing Me—Which Way? (4K)

But he still felt he should keep a low profile, to avoid any unnecessary complications at this time.

At this moment, Zhang Jian was rubbing the Hetu Luoshu in his hand, his eyes still showing some complexity.

Since learning that his own sacrificial treasure could be transformed into an innate spiritual treasure, he had actually tried various attempts.

For example, he tried sacrificing himself.

But the results were not ideal.

It seemed he was missing a key sacrificial logic, unable to ignite the sacrificial fire or trigger the resonance of the heavenly Dao rules.

Zhang Jian then put away the Hetu Luoshu.

Not long after, the main hall gates of the Danque Dao Palace reopened.

This also meant the Danque Divine Emperor had returned.

Zhang Jian immediately led the gods of the Danque Dao Palace to pay their respects.

In the Danque Dao Palace.

After the Danque Divine Emperor received the gods, he briefly mentioned the Golden Origin Dao Court, the affairs in the Ancestral Phoenix Hall, and then said.

"That demon emperor is extremely cunning; the gods of the Danque Dao Palace must still guard the gates tightly, remain vigilant, and the Earth Net is also of utmost importance to the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm!"

The Danque Divine Emperor's face still bore a solemn expression.

This battle had given her a great shock; even though the gods joined forces, they could not injure the Donghuang Taiyi clan, but instead were wounded in vital energy by the Taiyi clan.

Moreover, the Taiyi clan now seems to have reinforcements.

Even the Flaming Feather Divine Emperor and the Yingling Dao Zun were suppressed, showing how formidable the opponent is.

In the Danque Dao Palace, after hearing this, the twenty-something Dao Masters each had some tremor in their eyes, each filled with worry.

Dealing with such divine sovereigns as the Taiyi clan inevitably makes one's heart tremble with fear.

And it looks like even the Nine Divine Emperors have suffered great losses.

The Nine Divine Emperors now have only seven left.

One Dao Master could not help but worry in his heart, and stepped out from the ranks of the gods to ask.

"Your Majesty Danque, must we merely let that Taiyi clan act wickedly and then wander freely?"

The Danque Divine Emperor's eyes were calm as he spoke.

"Although we in this battle could not defeat the Taiyi clan, it does not mean the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm is powerless against him; the Taiyi clan will not remain at ease for long, and will ultimately fall into the net!"

The Danque Divine Emperor's beautiful, gentle face now also bore a hint of coldness.

The fall of the Golden Radiance Divine Emperor and the Flaming Feather Divine Emperor completely enraged her.

Zhang Jian, sitting to the side, upon hearing this, felt a secret stir in his heart.

The Danque Divine Emperor does not seem to be speaking without basis; it looks like she has prepared another killing move!

Zhang Jian had a guess in his heart; the Danque Divine Emperor's gaze now fell upon him, her jade-like countenance as if icy thawing, the depths of her eyes regaining warmth.

"Qinglian Daoist, the affairs of the Earth Net are greatly eased by your efforts, allowing this palace to have no rear worries!"

Zhang Jian said.

"Your Majesty's words are too kind; eating the sovereign's stipend and bearing the sovereign's worries is my duty!"

The Danque Divine Emperor smiled with satisfaction in the depths of her eyes.

After thinking, she then said.

"I have heard that your Innate Creation Divine Pool is highly sought after in the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm; next, this palace still needs to borrow your Innate Creation Divine Pool for a use—are you willing?"

Zhang Jian slightly bowed and said.

"The Creation Divine Net naturally belongs to the Earth Net; I shall naturally obey the Majesty's command!"

Zhang Jian smiled.

As he said, the Creation Divine Net is indeed a secondary sub-net of the Earth Net.

The Lord of the Central Divine Net gives orders; he naturally cannot refuse.

Moreover, he still needs the Danque Divine Emperor's 'protection,' so he will not refuse!

……

Creation Divine Net, aside from the Innate Creation Divine Pool, at this moment the Danque Divine Emperor wore a luxurious silk robe, her yellow dress giving her a gentle, graceful air—not like an earth goddess, but like a tender, affectionate divine maiden, with the Qingyue Dao Master following behind her.

At this moment, within the Innate Creation Divine Pool, a mass of Innate Creation primordial source condensed into autumn waters—clear and bright.

Only the Innate Creation primordial source slightly rippled; within, it seemed as if boundless Creation Dao rhythms flowed out, possessing a divine energy that could complete the deficiencies of heaven and earth and all things.

It could transform decay into wonder.

Zhang Jian glanced at the Danque Divine Emperor, then asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, may I dare to ask one more question: is Your Majesty's injury merely an ordinary Dao injury, or has it already reached the origin?"

Zhang Jian's bright, piercing gaze fell upon the Danque Divine Emperor.

In the Danque Divine Emperor's gentle eyes, there were some ripples.

"How is a Dao injury? How should an origin injury be?"

Zhang Jian hesitated slightly, glancing at the Qingyue Dao Master behind the Danque Divine Emperor.

The Danque Divine Emperor waved her hand slightly; the Qingyue Dao Master then bowed and retreated, though before retreating, he glanced at Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged; he spoke.

"If it is merely a Dao injury, the Innate Creation primordial source might be able to compensate; but if the foundation is injured, then another method must be used to restore the origin!"

The Danque Divine Emperor pondered slightly, then after a moment said.

"Do you have a method to restore the foundation?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's guess turned into certainty.

The Danque Divine Emperor's injury is not light!

He thought for a moment, then said.

"To restore the foundation of a Dao Venerable-level being, one needs special heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or perhaps an innate spiritual treasure—both are likely hard to come by!"

Zhang Jian's heart stirred at this moment.

Actually, these two things are not difficult for him at all.

He holds in his hand the Primordial Jade Pearl, known as the Pangu Divine Marrow, which can illuminate the source and, aided by the Primordial Ancestral Qi contained within the Primordial Jade Pearl, step into the Boundless Hunyuan Realm, gradually repairing his own foundation.

Furthermore, he still possesses in his hand the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Third-Grade Creation Green Lotus.

This is an innate spiritual treasure born from following the Primordial Dao; restoring the foundation is not difficult for it either.

But these two treasures cannot be easily exposed to light.

Because they are too precious.

Zhang Jian cannot afford to entrust his safety to others' self-discipline.

After a slight pause, Zhang Jian spoke again.

"Furthermore, if someone could assist Your Majesty in achieving another breakthrough upon the earthly rules, then wondrous vitality would arise, naturally helping Your Majesty suppress the origin injury, refine it, and eliminate it!"

The Danque Divine Emperor shook his head and said.

"This palace controls the Gold Origin Heavenly Realm's earth; though my Dao may not be said to uniquely stride through the myriad heavens' void, it is still renowned, and few among the myriad heavens' void are qualified to communicate with this palace on the profound mysteries of the earth!"

"Even if there are such people, they may not necessarily be willing to lend a hand, let alone discuss the Dao with this palace and assist in its breakthrough!"

Zhang Jian's eyes remained unmoving as he said.

"I will certainly find a way to let Your Majesty recover!"

He ultimately still did not choose to reveal his attainment upon the earthly Dao.

Although he knows, such communication would also greatly benefit him.

But the more he does at this time, the more likely he is to be wrong.

The Danque Divine Emperor did not know Zhang Jian's thoughts in his mind; a faint smile appeared on her jade-like countenance, at this moment as if a hundred flowers bloomed, beautiful beyond compare, and she spoke lightly.

"Having the intention is good enough!"

Her gaze fell upon the Innate Creation Divine Pool, and she said.

"This pool of Innate Creation Origin may perhaps temporarily relieve the injury on this palace's body!"

Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, her hair strands slightly swaying; at this moment barefoot and in yellow robes, she stepped step by step into the depths of the Innate Creation Divine Pool. As she entered, she turned her head to glance at Zhang Jian, slightly annoyed.

"Are you preparing to just watch this palace bathe like this?"

Zhang Jian's mouth corner twitched slightly stiff; he immediately turned around, his figure instantly leaving the vicinity of the Innate Creation Divine Pool.

Seeing this, the Danque Divine Emperor's beautiful eyes deepened, a faint smile flickering, but moments later her beautiful brows slightly furrowed; within her body at this moment, a strand of intense solar yang power, stimulated by the creative divine force, suddenly swelled, vaguely transforming into golden blazing suns within her body. Those golden flames burned, possessing a primordial, vast divine power—indestructible and eternal, like the source flow of heaven and earth's great Dao; even the earth-attributed origin power could not extinguish or refine it.

That strand of divine fire continuously drew upon, burning her essence, qi, and Dao cultivation, causing her to gradually transform into a terrifying torch.

If not restrained, when her Dao cultivation is exhausted, she will directly have her primordial spirit burned to ashes, reduced to nothing.

Perhaps even the chance to return to heaven and earth will not exist!

The Danque Divine Emperor slightly closed her eyes; she had not failed to seek help from the Great Vermilion Bird, but the Great Vermilion Bird also now has no way.

Perhaps not long from now.

One yuanhui, or perhaps ten yuanhuis, twenty yuanhuis—she will then exhaust her oil and burn out her lamp, directly falling.

……

"The Danque Divine Emperor's condition is probably not good!"

Zhang Jian walked out of the Innate Creation Divine Pool, his heart feeling somewhat strange.

The Danque Divine Emperor rarely shows such emotional expressions in daily life; she has always been dignity and compassion united, her smile forever resembling the earth, embracing all things in heaven and earth, never causing her to produce a gorgeous, moving feeling.

……

Outside the Gold Origin Heavenly Realm, in the void above, a deity whose aura was vast and magnificent stood firm in the dimension of time and space; his true form was extraordinarily vast and magnificent, behind him the Taiyi Divine Wheel resembled a boundless heaven and earth, moreover possessing a sense of chaos, infinity, and perfection; his true form, domineering, also carried a feeling of unparalleled vastness.

His eyes were slightly closed, like those of a slumbering giant god.

After a moment, the light of the Taiyi Divine Wheel behind him gradually became brilliant and dazzling; shortly thereafter he transformed into a domineering deity clad in gold-red divine robes, standing firm in the void above, a hint of contemplative color appearing in the depths of his eyes.

This time, clashing with the five Divine Emperors of the Gold Origin Heavenly Realm, the feeling he received was quite different.

Whether it was the Vermilion Bird, the Danque Divine Emperor, or the Mingfen Divine Emperor, the feeling they gave him was all astonishing.

The remaining golden, the Underworld Lord Purgatory Divine Emperor's Dao cultivation is also not ordinary.

The five gods forming an array are very difficult to deal with.

Especially the Vermilion Bird Divine Emperor and that Mingfen Divine Emperor— their methods are astonishing.

That Vermilion Bird Divine Emperor seems to have mastered the supreme inheritance of the two sovereigns of the Phoenix Clan from the Primordial Era; if the Taiyi Clan did not make a mistake, the opposing party is likely the direct descendant of those two Phoenix Clan leaders.

If not so, it would not be possible to master so many taboo secret arts of the Phoenix Clan.

The other one is of unknown origin, with strange and cruel methods, completely unlike an orthodox Primordial Divine Dao lineage.

Although the five Divine Emperors are strong, they are still not stronger than him.

The Taiyi Clan originally still wanted to seize this opportunity to glimpse the Phoenix Clan's hidden cards, but never expected that the foundation of the Gold Origin Dao Court had not been forced out, and instead people had already left first.

The Taiyi Clan's eyes held a hint of contemplation.

He believes Zhang Jian's words.

The Phoenix Clan has survived to this day and can still begin to grow strong again; behind them there must certainly be hidden foundations!

If not for the fact that deep within the Gold Origin Dao Court there is something he cares about, he would not necessarily have to fight to the death with the Phoenix Clan.

But he knows that before obtaining that thing, he must crush the Gold Origin Dao Court, otherwise future troubles will not be small.

That thing is actually not something else, but rather his natal jointly cultivated innate supreme treasure, the Donghuang Bell.

Also known as the Chaos Bell.

The Taiyi of Donghuang has already been able to confirm that the Donghuang Bell is within the Gold Origin Heavenly Realm, possibly hidden in some innate secret realm within the Gold Origin Heavenly Realm, or perhaps simply fallen into the hands of the Vermilion Bird.

Perhaps we still need to find a way to verify one or two things!

The Taiyi Sovereign's eyes were calm, his figure transforming into a stream of light, likewise heading toward the direction of the Golden Origin Dao Court.

……

Between heaven and earth, time flows slowly.

Two yuanhui passed quietly.

The prosperity of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm has still not been restored.

Especially the Flaming Feather Divine Emperor, the disappearance of the Chengling Dao Sovereign, and the extensive search by the deities of the Golden Origin Dao Court have become an inescapable shadow in the hearts of the deities of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm.

Even the Flaming Feather Divine Emperor and the Chengling Dao Sovereign, terrifying powerhouses at the Dao Sovereign level, have lost contact.

This place is no longer a blissful land, but a perilous and unpredictable region.

Many extraterritorial immortals and deities also hold a conservative attitude toward this.

Within the Golden Origin Celestial Realm, many immortals and deities, during these two yuanhui, have also remained dutiful.

Thus, the Golden Origin Celestial Realm has become considerably quieter within.

Outside the Innate Creation Divine Pool, Zhang Jian's figure appeared at this moment, he slightly furrowed his brow as he gazed toward the direction of the Innate Creation Divine Pool.

The Danque Divine Emperor has been soaking in this Innate Creation Divine Pool for two yuanhui.

However, as the master of the Creation Divine Network, Zhang Jian can sense that the Danque Divine Emperor's vital energy has not recovered, but instead has weakened by at least one-third!

"Qinglian Dao Brother, can this Innate Creation Divine Pool not suppress the Emperor's injury?"

On one side, the Qingyue Dao Sovereign's face was somewhat solemn, and also somewhat worried.

Not only her, but the Danque Divine Emperor has not appeared for two yuanhui, and the deities beneath the Danque Dao Palace are all engaged in heated discussion.

They likely already have doubts in their hearts.

Zhang Jian slightly shook his head and said.

"With the Yuanhuang Emperor present, there is no need to worry!"

The Yuanhuang Divine Emperor, during these two yuanhui, has also visited the Innate Creation Divine Pool several times, and is currently seeking ways to heal the Danque Divine Emperor.

Zhang Jian believes that, with the Yuanhuang Divine Emperor's status, he should be able to obtain a heavenly and earthly rare treasure to suppress the Danque Divine Emperor's injury, or perhaps directly obtain an innate divine object to restore the Danque Divine Emperor's foundation.

The Qingyue Dao Sovereign glanced at this Qinglian Dao Sovereign, the other's words reaching her ears, bringing reassurance.

During this period of the Danque Divine Emperor's seclusion, thanks also to this Qinglian Dao Sovereign governing the deities of the Danque Dao Palace, resolving some troublemakers, otherwise the Danque Dao Palace would likely have faced great turmoil.

This is recognized by the deities of the Golden Origin Dao Court as the strongest beneath the Divine Emperor.

At this moment, Zhang Jian directs more of his attention toward his own person.

During these two yuanhui, Zhang Jian has finally confirmed that the troubles on his person have been completely resolved.

Moreover, his cultivation has advanced rapidly.

With the aid of the good and evil two corpses helping him comprehend the heavenly dao rules and purify the source qi, he has increased the quantity of source qi within his body to over one thousand five hundred types during these two yuanhui.

This is an astonishing number.

Zhang Jian has confidence that, with another hundred or more yuanhui of arduous cultivation, he might truly achieve his goal and step into the realm of the supreme powerhouse.

A hundred or more yuanhui, for immortals and deities whose lifespans are measured in yanji, is absolutely not long.

If this speed were spoken of, it would likely shock many powerful immortals and deities.

"If he could prematurely sever the third corpse, perhaps his cultivation speed would increase further, and his comprehension speed of the Yuan Shi Kai Yun Tu would be even faster!"

Zhang Jian's heart felt troubled.

After severing the good and evil two corpses, Zhang Jian has during this time directed part of his attention toward the third corpse deity.

The final corpse is named Zhi Wo.

Zhi Wo is profoundly mysterious.

But if he could sever it, not only would his cultivation further advance.

Zhang Jian is confident that, after achieving the supreme powerhouse realm, he could complete the cultivation of the Dao Sovereign realm in a short time, truly traverse the path to the other shore, and touch the profound mystery of Yuan Shi.

"Moreover, one must also pay attention to seeking a matching natal spirit treasure for Zhi Wo!"

Zhang Jian's heart secretly thought.

His heart slightly calculated, although he longs for the benefits of severing Zhi Wo, Zhang Jian currently has no better method.

Just then, Zhang Jian's heart stirred, yet he saw within the Innate Creation Divine Pool before him a grand and extraordinary omen manifest.
