Chapter 761: The Heart of Ten Thousand Trees, Two Ancestors of Longevity

The Longevity Divine Court originally had a Supreme Sovereign of Earth.

His name was Yinhou Daozun.

He was an innate ancient god born of the Longevity True Realm.

He was also of innate divine origin.

Zhang Jian had long discovered that, among the major realms, those who governed the earth were mostly of extremely noble fate and supreme foundation.

Within a heavenly realm, their status and rank were special.

Whether it was the Spirit Realm, or the previous Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, Golden Origin Heavenly Realm, or the once vast and barren earth, Earth Immortal Realm, Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm, Central Heavenly Realm, Nine Luminaries Heavenly Realm, Kunlun Heavenly Realm, and so on.

There seemed to be some commonality within.

The earth could always nurture existences far surpassing other origins in strength.

Yinhou Daozun was likewise a First Transformation Daozun.

A true powerhouse of the other shore, his cultivation was extraordinarily remarkable.

However, when Zhang Jian infiltrated the earth's origin, this Yinhou Daozun felt nothing unusual.

Zhang Jian's method of condensing the earth's origin was quite peculiar.

And also very mature.

After all, he had undergone the trials of the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm.

He directly absorbed the true form of earth from the Longevity True Realm, fused it into the Earth Emperor's Golden Canon, and then seized the earth's origin.

Vast divine power flowed from Zhang Jian's entire body, sinking into the deep earth origin of the boundless Longevity True Realm, the divine power surging mightily, the boundless other-shore will illuminating the endless mountains and rivers of the Longevity True Realm.

Zhang Jian found the speed insufficient, so he directly, in the name of the Patrol Heavenly Sovereign, organized a patrol team to patrol the Longevity True Realm.

This was openly recording mountains and rivers, heavenly stars, and even patrolling the Longevity Netherworld.

During this process, the Earth Emperor's Golden Canon successfully recorded all the true forms of earth in the Longevity True Realm.

If Zhang Jian needed, he could at any time condense the earthly way's will of this realm to empower himself, and also drive Yinhou Daozun from the throne of Earth's Lord.

This was not due to Yinhou Daozun's negligence, nor lack of vigilance.

But because Zhang Jian's cultivation was too strong, the gap in earthly accumulation between them was too great, so Yinhou Daozun could not perceive at all that the earth's origin had already been infiltrated by another deity.

Perhaps only a faint stirring of mind, besides which there was no other thought.

Not only the earth's origin, but also the netherworld's origin, was silently taken control of by Zhang Jian.

At this time, upon the Earth Golden Canopy, layers of purple-yellow divine light flowed around Zhang Jian, the formless netherworld true form and earthly true form intertwined within, omens of the Longevity True Realm's heavenly realms appeared, and there was an endless stream of heaven and earth origins for him to comprehend, the comprehension of various heaven and earth rules greatly enhancing his ability to inhale and exhale vital energy.

Zhang Jian had never ceased inhaling and exhaling the heaven and earth vital energy of the Longevity True Realm, otherwise, with his state, the Longevity True Realm would hardly be able to bear it.

At this time, he was more so inhaling and exhaling the chaotic qi from the depths of the chaotic origin sea, to lessen the burden on the heavenly realm.

This was also the common choice of many Daozuns.

By condensing the universal Daozun rank, inhaling and exhaling chaos, and evolving his own Dao origin.

After patrolling the earth realm, Zhang Jian replanned a portion of the earth guarding diagram.

This earth guarding diagram divided a portion of important earth nodes, also selected out regions with spacetime gaps, rearranged them, and then invited Yinhou Daozun and Dongyang Emperor to enter the Patrol Hall for discussion.

The benefits of the battle soon became apparent.

Despite reconfiguring part of the divine realm and the earth's course, Yinhou Daozun still readily agreed.

Dongyang Emperor had no objections either.

Clearly, after this battle, the accepting capacity of the Longevity Divine Court's gods rose in a straight line.

The preliminary planning was successfully completed.

Zhang Jian then continuously dispatched the newly replenished celestial monarchs of surveillance, while simultaneously retraining his six great patrol legions' million celestial soldiers and divine generals with secret methods.

Zhang Jian was also not stingy.

Selecting the best, as long as they were loyal and talented, celestial soldiers and divine generals, high-ranking commanders, he also did not hesitate to pass on part of his self-created Dao arts to help the six great patrol legions soon transform.

If the Longevity True Realm were to face a great war, these strong ones under his command could also lend him a hand, reducing many trivial troubles.

……

After all matters were concluded, Zhang Jian entered the Longevity Divine Court.

The heavenly realm divine tree was currently completely guarded in an impenetrable manner by the Longevity Holy Court.

With Zhang Jian's cultivation desiring to comprehend the mysteries of the heavenly realm divine tree, these guards were naturally able to be easily bypassed by him.

But this matter had no need for secrecy.

Zhang Jian could completely request direct entry into the Hall of Ten Thousand Trees to contact the origin of the heavenly realm divine tree.

With his identity as Patrol Heavenly Sovereign, finding any excuse would allow him to enter.

This time, Zhang Jian requested to enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Trees and contact the Heart of Ten Thousand Trees on the pretext of checking the condition of the heavenly realm divine tree.

The Heart of Ten Thousand Trees is one of the tree hearts condensed from the heavenly realm divine tree, by which one can control the state of the heavenly realm divine tree and simultaneously control part of the heavenly realm domain formed by the heavenly realm divine tree.

Outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Trees.

Dongyang Emperor did not appear, merely sending a female immortal to lead Zhang Jian into the eighth layer of the Ten Thousand Trees space.

This is a unique space, filled with dense vital essence of life.

In the void, the wood-element spiritual veins flowed like dragons.

Around it were vast expanses of flower beds.

Countless strange flowers and exotic grasses emitted various lights, inhaling and exhaling the vitality from the boundless wood-element spiritual veins, rapidly growing strong.

At the center was a tree trunk formed from countless radiant jade-green divine lights.

The Origin Daoist walked ahead, this female immortal with a solemn countenance, introducing in front.

"Heavenly Sovereign, the Hall of Ten Thousand Trees lies just ahead, the Heart of Ten Thousand Trees is within the great hall, however, to use the Heart of Ten Thousand Trees one still needs the authority granted by the Holy Ancestor; currently the Holy Ancestor has only granted our Longevity Divine Court part of the heavenly realm authority, Heavenly Sovereign, if you wish to obtain part of the authority, you may meditate and communicate with the Holy Ancestor, pray for the Holy Ancestor to manifest!"

Zhang Jian nodded.

The Holy Ancestor mentioned by the Epoch Dao Lord is none other than the Longevity Holy Ancestor.

It is also the will of the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree.

Back then, when the Longevity True Realm's heavens collapsed and the earth became unstable, it was the Longevity Holy Ancestor who stepped forward at a critical moment, using the true form of the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree to prop up the heavens and suppress the earth, thereby thoroughly stabilizing the Longevity True Realm; thus, all immortals and gods of the Longevity True Realm revere the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree as the Holy Ancestor.

Compared to the Eastern Yang Emperor Lord, this one is the true master of the Longevity Realm.

However, this Longevity Realm Master, after transforming his form into the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree to suppress heaven and earth, has never appeared before people since.

Rumor has it that after losing the true body of the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree, his cultivation declined, and he is now recuperating elsewhere.

Before arriving at the Myriad Trees Hall, the Epoch Dao Lord waved his hand, and a divine light merged into the tree trunk.

Then, one saw the trunk gradually emerge with strands of emerald-green Great Dao divine patterns, the light condensing into a gateway brimming with life force and temporal-spatial phenomena.

Zhang Jian's other shore will slightly scanned the scene, and upon seeing it, he stepped forward into it.

The Epoch Dao Lord did not depart, but merely stood guard within the secret realm.

She was originally the immortal maiden guarding this secret realm, and still is a attendant deity of the former Longevity Holy Ancestor.

Through the spacetime gateway, Zhang Jian's form appeared in a single step within a spacetime origin, a space where the wood-attribute origin was extraordinarily abundant.

Zhang Jian's gaze swept over, and this place was extremely vast.

In the void, countless profound and wondrous azure-blue Dao patterns were spread, arranged in rows, as if extending from the earth to the horizon.

These were the innate heaven-earth Dao patterns naturally born within the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree, and also the innate defensive prohibition.

Deeper within, there were even more runes; the Dao patterns had not yet surfaced—this is precisely the method of endless life that needs to be comprehended.

Such an omen stirred in Zhang Jian a sense of anticipation.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's eyes fell upon the center of the space.

At the center of the space, a emerald-green great sun now appeared.

It was like a blazing sun floating among the myriad heavens, shining down upon heaven and earth.

It is also the core of the Myriad Trees Space.

Zhang Jian's gaze fell upon the emerald great sun, his expression solemn, as he slowly stepped forward.

Divine power intertwined in his hand, forming a seal that sank deep into the heart of the Myriad Trees.

This is the control seal of the Myriad Trees' Heart; by using it, one can simply utilize the Myriad Trees' Heart, and thereby comprehend the profundities of the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree.

But as Zhang Jian's seal entered, the blazing Myriad Trees' Heart suddenly stirred.

Strands of fierce divine light flowed out from within, instantly condensing into a figure clad in green robes, with a visage of about forty, a graceful form, black hair and a youthful face, eyes moist and gentle, from whom a faint voice flowed forth!

"Zhang Jian, you have finally come!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jian's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately understood the identity of the person before him.

"Senior, are you the Longevity Holy Ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, the green-clad figure shook his head, his expression unchanged.

"The title of Holy Ancestor does not belong to me!"

"I am the Longevity Dao Sovereign!"

"But as for you, you may indeed call me Ancestor!"

His eyes fell upon Zhang Jian, a faint moist smile in his depths, yet also a hint of scrutiny.

"Hmm, Senior, what do you mean by these words?"

Zhang Jian slightly furrowed his brow.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign said.

"After you departed, Qingxia came to seek this Sovereign!"

"She told this Sovereign of your origins!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's heart stirred, yet his expression eased slightly.

As for the Dao Lord Qingxia, he naturally trusts her.

"My origins, you may not know, but I can tell you!

I have followed the Great Heavenly Lord, experienced countless kalpas, and the Zhou Mountain Realm is merely one kalpa we shared; in that life, this Sovereign was the second ancestor of the Phoenix Creek Zhang Clan!"

Zhang Jian's eyes widened, and instantly a name surfaced in his mind.

Zhang Gong, Changsheng!

Second Ancestor Zhang Changsheng!

His eyes also underwent some change at this moment.

This was something he had never anticipated.

Besides the distant ancestor Great Heavenly Lord, the Second Ancestor Zhang Changsheng is actually a reincarnation of a great divine ability wielder!

"Then what about the Linghui Third Ancestor?"

Zhang Jian's heart rose with a question.

The Longevity Holy Ancestor seemed to have perceived his doubt, and smiled faintly.

"Linghui has also attained the Dao of Immortality; he is not a reincarnation of a great divine ability wielder, but after attaining immortality, I took him to another heavenly realm, and you will meet him in the future!"

After a slight pause, he sighed faintly.

"Yet we never expected that the Zhang clan of the Zhou Mountain Realm would actually give birth to a peerless heavenly prodigy like you!"

Even with his gaze, Zhang Jian could be considered a renowned peerless heavenly prodigy among the myriad heavens and void.

His achievements are not inferior to those of the top-tier divinities of the ancient, primordial, and primordial ages.

Even compared to the Great Heavenly Lord and himself in terms of innate talent, he is slightly lacking.

However, innate talent has never been everything.

He and the Great Heavenly Lord have experienced countless kalpas, and have never lacked the experience of being a heavenly deity of a realm.

Seeing Zhang Jian's face bearing a calm expression, he nodded his head, and then immediately spoke again.

"This celestial divine tree can be considered one of my three corpses; he is my good corpse, the wood spirit immortal Dao of the Longevity True Realm, and also what I have left behind!"

"However, my good corpse is currently unable to free himself and still needs your assistance to lend me a hand; upon completing this matter, naturally the true self will not shortchange you, and in due time there will be your fortune!"

"Even bestowing this realm upon you would be no problem!"

Zhang Jian pondered slightly, and he did not immediately agree.

He merely asked.

"I do not know what the Second Ancestor needs Zhang Jian to do?"

He firmly believed that the larger the sugar-coated cannonball, the greater the trouble.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign, upon hearing this, smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Jian.

"If my expectation is not mistaken, have you already achieved the path of the supreme powerhouse?"

Although phrased as a question, he had already been certain.

Earlier, Zhang Jian's battle with the Dongyang Emperor, he had personally witnessed it.

Regarding the path of the supreme powerhouse, he knows more than the Dongyang Emperor does.

Zhang Jian nodded his head and said.

"Second Ancestor has not misjudged; indeed, it is so!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign nodded his head and smiled, saying.

"If that is the case, then all the better!"

"I will first transmit to you the true essence of the Wood Spirit Immortal Dao!"

Zhang Jian could not help but raise his head and say.

"Second Ancestor, this disciple may not necessarily be able to assist you?"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign understood Zhang Jian's meaning, and did not take it to heart, laughing and saying.

"No matter, if you are unwilling, this true transmission of the Dao shall be gifted to you!"

With a wave of his hand, a magnificent emerald-green stream of light condensed from the void and took shape, flying swiftly toward Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian received it, glanced over it briefly, and immediately his countenance became solemn.

He had long known that the Wood Spirit Immortal Dao is the mainstream of the Longevity True Realm.

The Longevity True Realm possessing such vitality today is also closely related to the Wood Spirit Immortal Dao.
