Chapter 749: Sword Dao Origin (4K)

Zhang Jian immediately contacted Yu Wang through a special method, then reached out to the Criminal Law Hall of the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Assembly, explained the matter, and even the elders of the Criminal Law Hall dared not be careless.

After all, this matter involved two core elders of the human race, so he immediately reported it to the acting Fuxi Sheng Huang.

After reporting the matter, Zhang Jian simply waited for the response from the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Assembly.

With war imminent, he believed the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Assembly must give him an explanation, and indeed the entire assembly owed him one.

Otherwise, the various major human powers within the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Assembly would likely not risk their lives.

If the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Assembly acted unjustly, who would still be willing to obey?

Even the gods might outwardly comply but inwardly defy!

……

Hall of Heavenly Sovereignty.

Upon the Emperor's Treasure, Zhang Jian took his high seat.

Below, the Three Primal Dao Lords then recounted their experiences over these years in full detail.

The Three Primal Dao Lords were also unfortunate in fate, unexpectedly encountering the Vast Domain Dao Zun, drawing his attention, and ultimately falling into the hands of the Changqing Immortal Dao Alliance.

To preserve themselves and demonstrate their worth, the three could only reveal the secrets of the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm, ultimately arousing the greed of the Changqing Immortal Dao Alliance.

At this moment, Zhang Jian held another grey-black serpent-shaped ancient sword in his hand.

Grey-black sword light coiled around it, resembling a tangible serpent pattern, with innate divine patterns flowing within, possessing a divine power capable of devouring heaven and earth.

This sword is named the Soul-Devouring Ancient Sword.

It contains three innate immortal divine seals, within which lies a portion of the devouring and rebirth great Dao rules, making it quite extraordinary.

It can endlessly devour the great Dao laws of heaven and earth, and also possesses a special rebirth ability.

Zhang Jian casually put it away.

He currently has no use for this sword, as he already possesses the Earth Emperor God Seal, a top-tier innate spiritual treasure of immense power.

But innate spiritual treasures are strategic reserves; they may be temporarily unused, but cannot be absent.

Witnessing this, Ziyun Dao Jun waved his hand and drew forth a divine sword coiled with intense yang energy.

"Master, this is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qian Tian Divine Sword. Though currently damaged, we wish to offer it to you as a gift for accepting us as disciples!"

Ziyun Dao Jun's expression was solemn, with a few traces of genuine sincerity in his eyes.

At the same time, each of the three had a divine light converge above their heads, ultimately forming an immensely complex and grand imprint.

This complex imprint was profoundly mysterious, radiating various extraordinary lights, as if countless heavenly and earthly great Dao laws were being derived from within, like the source of all laws.

This is the Opening Heaven Imprint.

"This object is the Opening Heaven Law Seal held by us three; please accept it, Master!"

Zhang Jian glanced at the Qian Tian Divine Sword, and with a wave of his hand, the Qian Tian Divine Sword and the Opening Heaven Imprint separately entered his palm.

This top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qian Tian Divine Sword, is truly extraordinary.

Even though its tip is broken off.

This treasure is the Opening Heaven Divine Artifact of the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm, possessing immense divine power and also retaining a portion of the authority of the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm.

Zhang Jian pondered, then with a wave of his hand transformed the Qian Tian Divine Sword into a golden light that re-entered Ziyun Dao Jun's body.

"This treasure can stabilize the fortune of you three; you shall keep it yourselves!"

"As for this Opening Heaven Imprint, it greatly benefits my cultivation; I shall accept it!"

Zhang Jian waved his hand, and six streams of light manifested from the void.

These were three post-natal spiritual treasures and three heaven-and-earth rare treasures, all capable of completing one's origin, or strengthening the divine soul, or enhancing one's foundation.

"Thank you, Master!"

The three Dao Lords saw this and their faces lit with joy.

Leaving aside the value of these treasures, Zhang Jian's act of bestowing them already conveyed a certain attitude.

Moreover, there's no need to mention that the treasures they received are of considerable value.

The three Primal Dao Lords then rose and withdrew.

Within the Hall of Heavenly Sovereignty, Zhang Jian directed more of his attention toward the Opening Heaven Imprint, contemplating it while awaiting news from the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Assembly.

At this moment, behind him, vast and boundless divine light burst forth, forming an Earth Emperor God Wheel, within which appeared to float the boundless spacetime of the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm, even extending to numerous realms and the illusory remnants of the heavenly realm's decline.

Additionally, three strands of divine light emerged from between his eyebrows, sinking into the Opening Heaven Imprint above.

These were respectively the Lord of the Nine Abodes, the Lord of the State and Altar, and the Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor.

It was as if the four gods jointly contemplated the Opening Heaven Imprint.

The speed of this analysis was extremely rapid.

……

Great Origin Heaven, Holy Pool Sacred Land

Within the Boundless Dao Palace, the Boundless Dao Mother Zhu Zhuo Dao Jun was surrounded by vast clouds, the Boundless Water Element Great Dao rules surging within, revealing the unrest in the depths of this Dao Mother's heart.

In the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm, that tremendous commotion, Zhu Zhuo Dao Jun, relying on the Dao Mother's Dharma Aspect, vaguely sensed it.

That vast divine power swept across the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm, nearly enveloping the boundless heavenly Dao and all manner of heavenly and earthly great Dao rules within it.

At that moment, even she who held the pure purple exalted position of the Dao Mother felt herself as insignificant as a grain of millet in the vast sea.

The previous Purple Origin sought to swallow and merge heaven and earth's creation, immensely powerful, yet failed to make her feel this way.

This inevitably caused Zhu Zhuo Dao Jun's heart to tremble with shock.

Soon after, she sensed from above the heavenly void that vast, boundless force that had once shrouded fate and spacetime had again dissipated, and the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm continued operating as before.

She knew all the turmoil had ended.

The outcome was already self-evident.

It's just unknown what force that prompted the Heavenly Emperor to act came from where.

Yuzhuo Daoist Monarch had an idea in her heart, and she immediately entered the Heavenly Palace of the Celestial Court.

But soon she obtained the general news.

Regarding Yuzhuo Daoist Monarch, this former 'ally', Zhang Jian did not conceal it either.

This matter also did not need to be concealed.

The greater the commotion, the faster the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council would handle it.

However, after receiving the news, Yuzhuo Daoist Monarch's Dao heart was still difficult to suppress.

Outside the Immortal Palace, Yuzhuo Daoist Monarch's face bore an undisguised expression of lament.

She could not imagine that, after hundreds of yuanhui, a mere ten million years, the other party's Dao cultivation had advanced to such an extent!

The Three Great Daozun of the Changqing Immortal Dao Alliance, plus one great divine ability wielder—what an astonishingly powerful team!

Actually, in such a short time, they were directly defeated!

To her, hundreds of yuanhui had merely just solidified this pure purple rank; as for transforming it into a universal Daozun rank, she did not know how long it would take.

"Are innate divinities really this powerful?"

Yuzhuo Daoist Monarch still could not help but arise with this question that billions of immortals and gods have pondered.

But immediately she shook her head.

She knew that ordinary innate divinities were absolutely not this astonishing.

Only in the ancient era, the innate divinities of the primordial age could produce such monsters.

At this moment, Yuzhuo Daoist Monarch could also confirm that Zhang Jian was probably also walking the path of the supreme powerhouse.

Otherwise, the other party should have already successfully stepped into the realm of the other shore.

Ordinary, peak, supreme—these are the three paths of Daozun.

The way of proving the Dao for each is vastly different, and the Dao achievements attained are also completely different.

However, in the myriad heavens and void, the myriad innate divinities recognize that the supreme powerhouse is stronger than the peak Daozun, and the peak Daozun is stronger than the ordinary Daozun.

This is a comparison within the same realm.

But peak Daozun and supreme powerhouse both possess vast foundations enabling them to fight and win across realms.

Especially the supreme powerhouse.

Since ancient times, such existences have often been called zhiren.

Yuzhuo Daoist Monarch's eyes fluctuated; her arduous effort to condense the Dao Mother's Dharma Form—how could it not be an attempt to walk this path?

Alas, it is too difficult.

Without foundation, talent, fortune, perseverance, and courage driving forward, one could not reach this step.

……

As the news of the Changqing Tianjie Immortal Dao Alliance's three Daozun sneaking to attack the Celestial Court's Tianjie spread back to the Three Sovereigns Tianjie.

At this time, within the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council, an uproar also arose.

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council verified and fixed the evidence, they subsequently dispatched a strong team formed into an investigation squad to separately enter the Celestial Court Tianjie, Changqing Tianjie for investigation and interrogation.

This process is destined to be lengthy.

This matter has too great an impact, especially at this time.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council did not want to thus affect the unity of the human race, so they actively sent people to enter the Celestial Court Tianjie to inquire about Zhang Jian's opinion.

Zhang Jian then entrusted this matter entirely to the Yuwang Ancestral Master for handling.

His demands and thoughts were also told to the Yuwang Ancestral Master.

He believed this ancestral master would certainly not easily let go of the Qingyuan Old Ancestor of Changqing Tianjie.

……

Time flowed by silently.

Six thousand years later.

Celestial Court Tianjie, Hall of Containing the Origin.

Upon the Heavenly Emperor's throne, Zhang Jian's body displayed thirty-three layers of heavenly vast divine light, the divine light like a wheel, as if enveloping the Celestial Court Tianjie, the universe and void.

Within, an unprecedented phenomenon manifested.

A towering, grand Dao Emperor God, standing between heaven and earth, manifested from within, standing amidst chaos, each inhalation and exhalation swallowing and exhaling boundless chaos, principles—seeming the source of all laws, every place filled with unparalleled vast Dao韻.

Upon slightly observing his form, it seemed each Dao韻 could be comprehended into a world-shaking great divine ability.

Around his body was a layer of the phenomenon of all things' primordial beginning, as if the myriad things' initial state, prior to chaos.

Suddenly, however, it was seen that he slowly rose, his hand holding a blade radiant, emitting boundless golden yang light, the sword light piercing the heavens and bursting forth, tearing through layer upon layer of chaos spacetime, he seemed a colossal god who chops open boundless chaos spacetime, Yu Gong moving mountains.

One sword after another shattered chaos spacetime.

Within each sword light resided the divine power to tear apart all chaos heaven and earth.

Under such a terrifying divine being, even one heaven realm might perhaps not withstand this kind of world-opening divine power.

This is the Dao trace of the Qian Tian Ancestral God opening heaven and earth!

It is also the most precious part within the Heaven-Opening Imprint.

Zhang Jian's eyes were calm; at this moment, his primordial spirit will seemed to merge with those one after another terrifying world-opening sword lights into one body.

Unbeknownst to him, within his body, a dense and grand sword intent arose and sank, merging with that peerlessly sharp world-opening sword light, undergoing transformation.

This is the Dragon Chant Sword.

This sage virtue divine sword has always been undergoing transformation.

At this moment, it finally encountered a great opportunity.

During this process, Zhang Jian could feel the blade's edge permeating the void, as if touching his Dao heart, primordial spirit, causing him to arise with countless terrifying sensations of being torn apart, his primordial spirit seemingly already having suffered injury.

But he could feel it, and he could still endure it.

Still able to immerse, to comprehend.

And around him, two divine lights suddenly flew out after a moment, transforming into one golden and one black majestic form.

The Lord of Nine Abodes and the Lord of State and Altar each had layers upon layers of majestic sword intent bursting from their bodies, exploding, with countless protective divine lights like a sieve.

On the faces of the two deities, there was some tremor.

With their cultivation, comprehending this realm is already the limit.

Only the Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor and the main body are still supporting.

The Lord of Nine Abodes' face changed slightly as he proceeded to comprehend that Heaven-Opening Imprint, his cultivation also greatly depleted.

Later, he could only actively stop, lest forced comprehension backlash his primordial spirit, injured by that terrifying Heaven-Opening Sword Intent.

The Lord of State and Altar is much the same.

"The main body's primordial spirit is truly unique—so terrifying a Heaven-Opening Sword Intent, yet he actually blocked it!"

The Lord of Nine Abodes trembled slightly at this, sighing.

The Lord of State and Altar nodded.

The strength of that Heaven-Opening Sword Intent is terrifying; it likely already touched upon part of the Primordial Profundity.

The Heavenly Emperor Qian Tian opened the Heavenly Court's celestial realm not for anything else, but to prepare to prove his Primordial Dao Fruit thereby.

Alas, he failed!

It counts as failing to prove the Dao of Primordial Origin.

Such terrifying profundity of this level— their primordial spirit strength simply cannot withstand it; forced comprehension is tantamount to self-harm, and will also pollute their own Dao path.

After a period of time, a majestic purple-yellow dragon-shaped divine light emerged from the void, instantly manifesting beneath the Heavenly Emperor's throne.

He wore the robes of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, nine dragon phantoms swirling around him, the ninety-nine supreme rank unmatched!

At this moment, majestic sword glows also entwined around him, that thread of sword glow winding through his hundreds of apertures, seeming to tightly bind him, but as the nine dragons coiled, those threads of sword glow gradually merged into the dragon phantoms; moments later, he casually reached in and grasped one dragon shadow, instantly transforming into an ancient divine sword flashing with boundless supreme purple aura.

The sword glow shot up to heaven, as if carved from a dragon's form.

The other eight dragon-shaped transformations behind him turned into eight divine swords, each seemingly containing the Heavenly Emperor's authority to open heaven and cleave earth.

The Lord of Nine Abodes and the Lord of State and Altar gazed upon this scene, their faces subtly changing.

The Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor is indeed the strongest among them—not only did he dispel the backlash, but he seemed to have comprehended part of the Qian Tian Ancestral God's Heaven-Opening Sword Intent, integrating it into his protective secret method, forming a mighty killing divine ability.

This gain made even the good and evil incarnations unable to help feeling envious.

"This is the Nine Dragons Parting the Way Sword—nine styles united as one; cultivated to the utmost, it likewise possesses the power to open heaven and cleave earth!"

The Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor muttered to himself, his eyes filled with sharp intent and blade-like radiance.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Nine Abodes let out a light hum.

"Enough, having gained benefit, no need to show off!"

After a slight pause, he continued.

"But alas, you lack an innate sword artifact in hand; otherwise, I would have the main body seek Zijun again, to bestow upon you the Qian Tian Divine Sword!"

The Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor spoke calmly.

"Merely a top-grade innate spiritual treasure—no need; my sword path, even without an innate sword artifact, can still slay all gods and demons of the heavens!"

He added.

"A single Holy Virtue Dragon Chant Sword is sufficient!"

The Lord of Nine Abodes burst into laughter.

"Praising you a few words, and you're already blowing your own horn!"

At this moment, the three turned their gazes to Zhang Jian standing upon the Heavenly Emperor's throne.

Behind him, the majestic omens grew ever heavier.

Deep within his brow, platinum light continuously burst forth; even under countless sword intents grinding and polishing, it remained like a boulder, unable to be unfolded by the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent, yet still able to continue observing the Heaven-Opening Imprint, comprehending its changes.

Seeing this, the Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor said.

"No need for many words; we still need to restore our original source, then continue assisting the main body in comprehending this Heaven-Opening Imprint!"

The Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor sat cross-legged.

The Lord of State and Altar and the Lord of Nine Abodes likewise sat down in succession, swiftly restoring their consumed primordial spirit source.

Their primordial spirit essence is somewhat different from the main body's, lacking that terrifying toughness.

But not long after, they had restored themselves; subsequently, a stream of divine light flowed from each of their bodies, connecting to Zhang Jian's main body primordial spirit, continuing to comprehend the Heaven-Opening Imprint.

It is precisely due to their special essence that they can achieve Dao sharing.

In Zhang Jian's gaze, as sword glows shattered chaos, the path walked by the Qian Tian Ancestral God gradually revealed itself.

The path of the Qian Tian Ancestral God is not one sword giving rise to myriad laws, but rather completing the process of opening heaven to destruction through pure sword intent, awaiting the sword light to engulf an entire heavenly realm, whereupon it can naturally expand the Primordial Origin.

Achieving the state of Hunyuan Wuji.

Personally comprehending this process, discarding its path, yet still observing from a pure Primordial perspective the accidental formation of a heavenly realm, Zhang Jian also gained immensely.

In a short time, root-shadow virtual images condensed and formed deep within his brow, becoming the Dao's root source.

Within six thousand years, he increased it by over a hundred strands.

This number is simply astonishing.

Zhang Jian felt that if he could absorb this Heaven-Opening Imprint and fully comprehend that Heavenly Dao General Outline Primordial Opening Fortune Diagram, he would certainly accomplish the accumulation of three thousand roots, and thus charge toward the Other Shore Realm.
