Chapter 751: Three Thousand Origins Lie Within One Body (5K)

Only seeing what was in sight, the four Dao fruits had already been refined to a considerable extent.

The Broad Realm Dao Venerable was already on the verge of falling to the edge of the Second Transformation Dao Venerable realm.

The Changling Dao Venerable and the Dark Star Dao Venerable, whose cultivation was somewhat weaker, had already been refined of the Other Shore Dao Fruit, completely falling from the Dao Venerable realm.

As a Third Transformation Great Divine Ability wielder, Mouyu Zunzhe's state was naturally even worse.

He had already fallen to the realm of Dao Jun.

If it weren't for Zhang Jian intentionally sparing him, he would have been directly refined to death by now.

With his current cultivation, killing a First Transformation Dao Venerable no longer required much time.

A Third Transformation Dao Jun was even less of a concern.

Facing the furious expression of the Qingyuan Old Ancestor, Zhang Jian spoke calmly.

"Qingyuan Dao friend, please do not take offense; this venerable one will show no mercy to any strong one attempting to assault the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm. They have suffered under the power of this seat's Dao arts and secret techniques, and their cultivation inevitably diminished somewhat. Fortunately, Dao friend arrived in time; otherwise, I fear you would no longer be able to see them!"

The Qingyuan Old Ancestor laughed in extreme anger. At this moment, as the White Emperor waved his hand on the high platform, he nonetheless gathered the four divine lights into his palm.

He paid no attention to the emotions of Zhang Jian or the Qingyuan Old Ancestor.

At this time, he merely spoke lightly.

"Both of you, the matter is already settled. If you still have objections, I suggest you arrange an opportunity to duel to the death on the Three Emperors' Platform. The Three Emperors' Holy Court strictly forbids private fights and internal strife; once discovered, there will be no leniency!"

His expression remained calm, and shortly thereafter, he directly took the Stone Ancestor and the Star Emperor Daoist, two human elders, and vanished within the Earth Emperor Palace.

At this moment, the Qingyuan Old Ancestor's countenance gradually regained its composure, and he did not utter a single harsh word, merely glancing lightly at Zhang Jian for a moment before speaking.

"I only hope that Dao friend Zhang can uphold this foundation of the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm!"

His form instantly transformed into a flowing light and vanished in place.

Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, and he paid no heed. At this moment, his gaze fell upon Yu Wang, and he immediately clasped his hands.

"Disciple, this time I must again trouble the Ancestral Master; I am truly ashamed!"

Yu Wang slowly rose, shook his head, and said.

"A Yu, Qingyuan's provocation is not only against you, but also against the Tongshan Dao lineage that he has never looked upon; this matter, I will not let him off!"

At the same time, his eyes fell upon Zhang Jian, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"You also must be cautious; this Qingyuan person has surely set his sights on you—open spears are easy to dodge, hidden arrows hard to guard against!"

He slightly waved his hand, and simultaneously a divine light appeared deep within his palm.

"This seat has also gathered some information regarding the Qingyuan Immortal Dao Alliance during this period; after you review it, you will also have clarity in mind!"

"Thank you, Ancestral Master!"

Zhang Jian gave a slight nod.

Zhang Jian was not actually worried about the Qingyuan Old Ancestor.

At this time, having cultivated the Severing Three Corpses Secret Method, the three corpses of good, evil, and self-attachment were all severed, among which the self-attachment Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor was especially powerful, likewise approaching the Third Transformation Dao Venerable realm. If combined with the authority of the Celestial Court Heavenly Emperor, it would be sufficient to guard the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm.

If the Qingyuan Old Ancestor dared to enter the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, he would have the confidence to turn this place into his burial ground.

Upon his true form's formal breakthrough, even a Third Transformation Dao Venerable would no longer be a problem for him.

Of course, more importantly, he had heard that the Qingyuan Old Ancestor was not a top-tier Dao Venerable, nor did he come from a supreme lineage.

He was merely an ordinary Dao Venerable who had stepped into the Third Transformation realm; to him, it was not that fearsome!

At this time, Yu Wang laughed and said.

"However, A Yu, your ability to directly suppress the Broad Realm, Changling, and Dark Star Three Great Dao Venerables is still somewhat beyond this seat's expectations. As for Changling and Dark Star, those two great Dao Venerables are forgivable, but the Broad Realm Dao Venerable attained the Dao in an age traceable to the Middle Ancient period; he was also once one of the second batch of human qi practitioners, his cultivation mighty and formidable. Even if this seat were to face him, it would be somewhat troublesome, yet he was so easily overturned in your hands!"

He looked up and down at Zhang Jian, with a hint of sigh in his eyes.

He remembered that when leaving the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, Zhang Jian's cultivation had not yet reached this level.

"A Yu, you are now close to the Other Shore realm; it should be soon?"

Yu Wang spoke directly, inquiring, and also did not conceal his curiosity.

Zhang Jian pondered slightly; the completion of the Three Thousand Roots Source for him was merely a matter of time.

As for whether he could step into the supreme realm, he also had considerable confidence, considering it soon, and said.

"Only a few more years of refinement remain!"

Yu Wang heard the meaning in Zhang Jian's words, and upon hearing it, could not help but speak optimistically.

"Some water-milled effort is no problem!

"As long as you can break through before the great war, for you, it will mean grasping more initiative!"

Zhang Jian nodded slightly.

Gazing at the Yu Wang Ancestral Master before him, whose expression held a hint of smile, Zhang Jian's lips curled slightly, revealing a trace of a smile.

It must be said that his initial choice to enter the Tongshan Dao lineage was truly one of the most correct decisions.

The Tongshan Dao lineage, from top to bottom, has always had a good atmosphere.

Although it is not among the top-tier few super Dao lineages in the myriad heavens void, being able to grow up in such a Dao lineage, Zhang Jian's inner depths were likewise pleased.

The Three Emperors and Five Elders Council had already begun to act against the demon clans, and Yu Wang must also sit in command of the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm to grasp firsthand information.

Thus, he hurriedly departed.

Zhang Jian continued his secluded cultivation in the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, perfecting the last eight hundred or so strands of the Three Thousand Roots Source Qi, awaiting the impact on the Other Shore realm.

He knew that the time left for him was not much.

As the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm moved against the major demon clan forces, as one of the core elders, he would inevitably have missions.

Fortunately, within dozens of elemental cycles, he had first completed the Yanji task; otherwise, he would likely have been ranked in the first echelon, among the elders of the second echelon going into battle.

In that case, there would have been no opportunity to attempt a breakthrough.

……

The struggles between the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm and the Changqing Heavenly Realm were chaotic and noisy. With the White Emperor returning to the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm to announce the investigation results and disposal plan, for a time the surging undercurrents of the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm gradually subsided.

Personally executed a human race's second-transformation Dao Venerable.

This is already the highest punishment.

Such a decision is not something every superpower can easily make.

Every Dao Venerable is a foundation for the human race, and even more so, a purple-gold beam bridging the sea.

Their existence is extraordinarily important.

Enough to guard a heavenly realm dimension.

And now the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council personally executed a second-transformation Dao Venerable, reselected two first-transformation Dao Venerables—all of which shows that the human race's iron law cannot be violated.

This move made countless human powerhouses secretly tremble, yet also made countless human immortals and deities feel a sense of belonging arise in their hearts.

Such a human race is worthy of these powerhouses sacrificing their heads and spilling their hot blood for it.

……

Central Heavenly Realm, Eighth Layer of the Upper Realm, Qingxia Immortal Realm.

Qingxia Daoist Monarch was busy at this time.

The Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm's demon clan powerhouses took action; the Central Heavenly Realm was among the first superpowers to notice.

Before taking action, the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm also reached an agreement with the Central Heavenly Court.

This time, it is not only the human race taking action.

The Heavenly Court also dispatched deities to assist, or provided intelligence, or provided routes.

The Taiyi Clan is not only the great enemy of the human race, but also an opponent of the Heavenly Court.

The demon clan has always been the target of the Heavenly Court's extermination.

Subduing demons and eliminating evil is not just empty talk.

Now that the demon clan has gained a supreme sovereign returning, the Heavenly Court also worries about the demon clan redeveloping and growing strong.

This would affect the foundation of the Heavenly Court!

Many ancient gods also deeply wary of the Taiyi Clan's return.

Qingxia Daoist Monarch oversees the Yaochi Ears and Eyes LanTai Dao Palace, and is also burdened with heavy duties.

At the same time, she also faces danger.

She has received news that an ancient demon sage has issued a boast, vowing to take her life.

She is not actually afraid of the danger from demon clan powerhouses; she is more worried that someone within the Heavenly Court will, at this time, hold her back and create opportunities for those demon clan powerhouses.

Qingxia Daoist Monarch, like Zhang Jian, also thinks of seizing the opportunity to impact the first and second shores of the other shore realm.

Her accumulation is likewise extraordinarily profound.

But her grasp deep in her heart is not great.

"Still need to go scavenge a few relics from the primordial era before there is hope to set foot in the other shore realm in this evolution era!"

Qingxia Daoist Monarch secretly pondered in her heart.

Her heart was urgent, but Qingxia Daoist Monarch at this time instead became even more cautious.

The more critical this juncture, the easier it is to be caught by others and then set a trap.

She has many opponents, not lacking formidable figures.

Those people have always been waiting for the opportunity.

But she indeed cannot help but speed up!

By the Two Realms Pond, Qingxia Daoist Monarch's eyes flickered, and in an instant she made up her mind.

……

Heavenly Court Heavenly Realm, next Zhang Jian then dispatched personnel and the Tongshan Dao Tong to proceed step by step with接洽.

Heavenly Court Heavenly Realm, upon the Heavenly Emperor's throne, Zhang Jian's body was filled with vast divine energy, holding in his hand a white jade-colored bodhi seed.

This is not the bodhi seed produced by the bodhi tree in the Xiao Ling Realm of Jiuxiao Mountain in the Central Heavenly Realm.

But rather one of the heavenly treasures and earthly riches compensated by the Qingyuan Dao Palace.

This time, the Heavenly Court Heavenly Realm, as the advantageous party, indeed heavily exploited the Qingyuan Dao Palace, among which were not lacking some extraordinarily precious heavenly treasures and earthly riches, even for a third-transformation great divine ability cultivator, or even a Dao Venerable cultivator, they are of great help.

Among them are nine bodhi seeds of spiritual root level.

These are nurtured by a heaven-earth spiritual root level wisdom bodhi treasure tree in the Changqing Heavenly Realm.

On this wisdom bodhi tree, the heaven-earth extraordinary treasure level bodhi seeds are not many.

Even in a hundred thousand years, only nine are produced.

And the bodhi seeds produced in the past hundred thousand years have all fallen into the hands of the Tongshan Dao Tong.

This treasure can enhance immortals' and deities' comprehension, perfect wisdom, and for Dao Venerable-level powerhouses also has a slight effect.

The existence of this treasure tree also helped the Qingyuan Dao Palace produce not a few powerhouses.

At this time, Zhang Jian had five bodhi seeds floating before him.

Total six.

Zhang Jian took six of the nine bodhi seeds, the other three were given to the Yuwang Ancestral Master, the Qiuqiu Ancestral Master, hoping the Qiuqiu Ancestral Master of the Tongshan Dao Tong could undergo transformation early.

As for the materials, authority, and even territory split off from the Qingyuan Dao Palace, the materials—Huangdi Dao Palace and Tongshan Dao Tong—were divided.

Authority and territory could possibly be taken out to exchange with other human race elders.

After all, this place is too close to the Changqing Heavenly Realm.

These matters no longer need Zhang Jian to worry about; Zhang Jian handed them over to the Heavenly Court Heavenly Realm for handling.

At this time he again put away half of the six white jade bodhi seeds, the remaining half he directly devoured with eternal immortal light.

His body again emerged with a layer of vast and magnificent divine energy.

Before him also appeared an additional volume of the Yuanshi Kaiyun Diagram.

In Zhang Jian's deep gaze, the Primordial Origin Chart before him was nearly the original version of the Heavenly Dao's source.

It was also the 1.0 version of the Heavenly Dao's general outline in the vast wilderness of heaven and earth.

Endless and vast divine energy flowed out from within, as if transformed into torrents of magnificent Dao rules, extraordinarily complex.

Yet for him, it was like witnessing the birth of the source of all laws.

Within the Mountains and Rivers Seizing Chart, two thousand one hundred strands of source qi surged, involuntarily manifesting as magnificent divine light bursting from his entire body, as if connecting to the boundless Heavenly Dao source of the celestial courts.

How magnificent and vast those two thousand one hundred strands of source qi were!

Even an ordinary Dao Venerable could not bear so much source qi hidden within the Purple Mansion Palace; it would cause his primordial spirit to collapse directly.

Yet strangely, Zhang Jian felt no weight at all.

On the contrary, he felt this was far from his limit.

It seemed his primordial spirit could bear what others could not, without needing to consider its capacity; he could fully consider those secret arts most demanding on primordial spirit strength— the stricter, the stronger, the better!

As the Heavenly Dao source of the celestial courts descended, he at this moment seemed to embody the boundless Heavenly Dao, his primordial spirit's computational ability greatly enhanced.

Not only his computational ability, but the Lord of the Nine Abysses, the Lord of the State and Altar, and the Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor likewise aligned with the Heavenly Dao source through secret arts, borrowing its power to compute.

This is the benefit of being a realm lord.

Otherwise, with his original cultivation, if he merely computed as a Three-Reversion Dao Lord, even with three corpse incarnations, he would still be limited.

Moreover, it was even more convenient that they themselves now represented a Heavenly Dao.

From the perspective of a Heavenly Dao, comprehending the primordial general outline of the vast wilderness Heavenly Dao naturally yields twice the result with half the effort.

As Zhang Jian chose to retreat in the Hall of Containing the Origin, boundless magnificent divine energy burst forth from the Hall of Containing the Origin, growing stronger each day.

Helpless, the immortals and gods could only avoid the Heavenly Emperor, choosing to hold discussions in the Side Hall of Purple Tenuity.

Yet all the gods could sense the vast divine energy contained above the Hall of Containing the Origin.

It was as if the boundless Heavenly Dao of the celestial courts resided there, divine might radiating from the highest point, permeating and pressuring the boundless spacetime of the celestial courts.

……

Time flowed on, fleeting and swift.

After eighteen elemental cycles.

In the Queen Mother's Palace.

Flowers bloomed in profusion, countless rare blossoms and strange herbs forming on both sides of the celestial palace's steps, white jade for the palace, immortal crystal for the steps, carved beams and painted pillars, everything possessing an unimaginable splendor and beauty.

Looking around, the palace was not lacking in precious innate spiritual roots.

These innate spiritual roots, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, emitted a fierce immortal light, as if driving away the auspicious clouds and blessed vapors among the celestial pavilions, immortal light and variegated colors forming long rainbows that enveloped many palaces and pavilions.

Many female immortals walked by in troops, seeing this omen, yet already long accustomed to it!

Such extravagance all displayed the status of the palace's master.

The Qi clan wore robes of gold and red interwoven, dignified yet bearing a hint of the noble grace of a mother to the world; beside her were several female immortals attending to her knees— these were several princesses.

Among them was the Southern Yang Princess Zhang Qiao, born later.

Her visage faintly resembled that of the Heavenly Empress Qi, one or two parts similar, her face equally extraordinarily beautiful, moving.

She wore a single garment of celestial green, extraordinarily lovely and lively.

Zhang Qiao at this moment casually picked up one after another innate spiritual fruit from the stone table formed of innate beautiful jade before her; though she ate extremely quickly, her posture remained elegant, not hiding her purity.

The Empress shook her head as she watched.

This princess's talent, among the many Zhang clan descendants, could only be considered medium to above average, yet she had caught a good opportunity— those years happened to be when the Great Xia Holy Dynasty was founded.

With the washing of national fortune, even if her talent were again ordinary, common, she could still become a true immortal.

She then, with the body of a celestial immortal, followed Zhang Jian, as the Holy King of Great Xia, in the court's ascension.

At this moment, Zhang Qiao sensed the vast Heavenly Dao might emanating from not far away in the Hall of Containing the Origin, and could not help but sigh.

"Father Emperor's cultivation truly surpasses our imagination; we, even if we exhaust all ages, probably have no hope of reaching this step!"

Gazing at that distant celestial palace where Heavenly Dao divine light fell like a waterfall, she still felt some heart-pounding fear, even daring not to look too long.

The Empress, hearing this, immediately said.

"Southern Yang, you need not belittle yourself; you are all your Father Emperor's direct descendants, of innate divine holy bloodline, future achievements will far surpass ordinary people!"

But afterward, she looked at Zhang Qiao and added with some reproach.

"However, you this lass are too lazy, compared to your three elder brothers and your elder sister, you are far behind."

"You now don't even have the courage to leave the celestial courts of heaven!"

She referred to Zhang Yi, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Xian, and Zhang Chang'an.

Zhang Qiao was not afraid of reproach, merely pulling the Empress's hand and acting coquettishly.

"Mother Empress, how can I be compared with those three? They three hold the three great central authorities of the celestial courts, naturally progressing swiftly; Elder Sister Chang'an is moreover a disciple of the Kunlun Jade Void Palace, a direct lineage of the Great Teaching; if only Mother Empress would also grant me a source authority, perhaps I could catch up with them!"

The Empress gazed at her and secretly shook her head.

The source authority of the celestial courts of heaven is exceedingly rare; unless Zhang Qiao can move her with her own wisdom and perseverance, she will not lightly bestow it.

However, Zhang Yi, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Xian, and Zhang Chang'an are indeed her pride.

Twenty elemental cycles passed; Zhang Yi and Zhang Xian had recently returned to the celestial courts of heaven one after another.

They had already stepped into the Great Perfection of Taiyi, and respectively taken the second and third steps.

Zhang Chang'an's cultivation was also not slow; it is said that in the Kunlun Jade Void Palace he had established a firm foothold and also gained the favor of a Kunlun Great Dao Lord, his Daoist practice accomplished.

The four gods are extremely likely, at the end of this evolution cycle or at the beginning of the next, to possess the foundation for impacting the Dao Lord realm.

Several other female immortals stood to one side, their eyes also showing some envy.

Yet they knew they still lagged behind Zhang Qiao and the Heavenly Empress.

The Southern Yang Princess Zhang Qiao still has hope to contend for a source authority; they fear their hopes are slim.

They are princesses of the Great Xia Holy Dynasty of the third generation, also one or two of the second generation, merely born of the You and Meng clans.

Because of their aptitude and outstanding foundation, they were able to set foot in the Queen Mother's Palace.

At this moment, the expressions of the goddesses fluctuated slightly, their gazes turning toward the direction of the Hall of Containing Origin.

Yet above the Hall of Containing Origin, a grand and vast ominous sign suddenly manifested.

Only to see the cascading, grand and vast nine-colored heavenly Dao divine light gradually dissipate, replaced by a purple-yellow long rainbow bursting forth from within the Hall of Containing Origin, as if permeating the celestial court of heaven, and furthermore, boundless chaotic energy began to gather from the outskirts of the celestial court of heaven.

Above the firmament, the illusory shadows of the boundless heavenly Dao great Dao regulations flickered, as if the three thousand heavenly Dao laws of heaven and earth were taking shape around the Hall of Containing Origin.

Deep within the Hall of Containing Origin, another surge of nearly heavenly Dao-level vast奇能 erupted forth, instantly striking toward the亿万万 spacetime dimensions of the celestial court of heaven.
