Chapter 763

Zhang Jian opened his eyes fully.

Actually, this question had been considered by him after he entered the Changsheng True Realm.

If he could return the innate Qinglianzi to its source and restore it as an innate spiritual root, he would naturally gain great benefits.

Not only would he regain an innate spiritual root with creation attributes, similar to an innate spiritual treasure, but he might also use the power of the innate Qinglian to further advance his Dihuang true body and forge the Yuanshi foundation.

However, considering that condensing the three thousand divine orifices and repairing the nine great heavenly Dao jade mansions required vast resources, he set it aside.

But having seen the Changsheng Daozun and received the true transmission of the Mu Ling Xian Dao, it was indeed feasible.

With the true transmission, he saved the time needed to independently deduce the fundamental secret method.

The only remaining issue was how to let the innate Qinglianzi undergo transformation.

For Zhang Jian, this was precisely the easiest part.

Because he had once controlled a third-grade creation Qinglian, and his Dihuang true body had completely absorbed the origin of the third-grade creation Qinglian!

Regarding the profundity of the third-grade innate creation Qinglian, he had already comprehended it to a large extent.

After thinking, Zhang Jian nodded and said.

"Indeed feasible!"

His eyes flickered slightly in thought; the innate Qinglianzi possessed this.

Before the third-grade creation Qinglian was drained of its origin by him, it had once borne a batch of innate Qinglianzi.

When he obtained it from the Lotus King's relics, he also obtained an innate Qinglianzi.

What he hesitated slightly about was whether to use the innate Qinglianzi as his first innate wood spirit.

Although the innate wood spirit can be multiple, the first innate wood spirit occupies most of his mental energy and is the primary cultivation target.

As he is of the Dihuang body, choosing a earth-attribute heavenly divine wood as his innate wood spirit might perhaps be helpful!

Zhang Jian slightly lowered his hand's action, but after a moment's thought, he made up his mind.

Still, he decided on the innate Qinglianzi.

First, the innate Qinglianzi is a direct descendant of the innate spiritual root, making it easiest to reverse the innate origin.

Second, his grasp of reversing the innate spiritual root using the innate Qinglianzi is the strongest.

Most importantly, the innate Qinglianzi encompasses all things, offering the greatest aid to his Dihuang true body, nearly equivalent to the foundation of achieving the Dao through the flesh.

Moreover, the innate Qinglian is a descendant of the chaotic Qinglian.

Its upper limit is greater.

However, Zhang Jian still did not abandon the idea of choosing an earth-attribute heavenly divine wood as his second innate spirit plant!

He could choose an earth-attribute heavenly divine wood as his second innate spirit plant.

Adding one more innate spirit root as assistance would also greatly aid his Dao path!

……

Having made his decision, Zhang Jian raised his hand, and a strand of cyan innate divine radiance blossomed in his palm, with a cyan-colored treasure pearl appearing deep within his palm.

The cyan treasure pearl was covered with countless intricate and fine cloud patterns, as if lotus leaves were about to break out of the pearl.

Inside, it contained vast and boundless vitality and creative power.

Innate divine light flashed, dazzling.

This was the innate Qinglianzi condensed and nurtured from the third-grade innate creation Qinglian.

At this moment, the will of the Changsheng Daozun recondensed into form.

In the void above, he gazed in slight astonishment at this innate Qinglianzi.

This innate Qinglianzi emitted a strong aura of innate spiritual root.

This innate origin was far more mellow than he had imagined.

Heavenly realm rumors said this Dihuang Shangdi held a third-grade innate creation Qinglian in his hand, and indeed it appeared so.

Zhang Jian gazed at it, his eyes emitting a divine force that merged into it, instantly establishing a preliminary connection with this innate Qinglianzi.

According to the Mu Ling Xian Dao secret method.

The first step to subdue the innate spirit plant is to establish a mutual connection between the two, then, through a special secret method, to refine it, ultimately merging it with his fundamental essence, transforming it into an innate spirit plant, and finally cultivating it purposefully to let it grow, so that in cultivation it may exert various functions.

And the innate Qinglianzi itself is exceptionally pure, requiring little time for refinement.

He proceeded step by step, condensing a secret seal, transforming it into a destiny mark, and instantly stored it within his Dihuang true body.

Moreover, it was exceptionally compatible with the Dihuang true body; after entering the Dihuang true body, this innate Qinglianzi absorbed the scattered traces of creative fluctuations emanating from the Dihuang true body, and instantly began to take root and sprout, growing tender lotus leaves.

The tender lotus leaves emitted a substantial cyan treasure light.

Threads of creative Dao rhythm and vital Dao rhythm flowed out from within.

If an ordinary cultivator used this as an innate spirit plant, in a short time he could radiate this Dao rhythm to temper and forge an innate Dao body suited to his Dao path, thereby producing so-called spiritual roots, Dao bones, and becoming a heaven's chosen among heaven and earth.

But now Zhang Jian's Dihuang true body is far stronger and more dominant than the essence of the innate Qinglianzi, so the benefit actually flows to the innate Qinglianzi.

Under the washing of Zhang Jian's rich qi and blood, it blossomed with layer upon layer of immortal light, continuously growing.

Immortal light blossomed at Zhang Jian's chest.

Zhang Jian did not, like ordinary cultivators of the Mu Ling Xian Dao, use the lower dantian as the spiritual field for nurturing his innate spirit plant.

Instead, he chose an innate divine orifice at his chest.

That innate divine orifice was formed from the genesis of heaven and earth's creative source, and within it also held an omen of the third-grade innate creation Qinglian; at this moment, the phantom of the third-grade innate creation Qinglian merged with the nascent innate Qinglian, and the immortal light they emitted was exceptionally intense.

It seemed to have transformed into the form of heaven and earth's creative rules condensed into shape.

At the moment it took shape, the creative Dao rules of the Changsheng True Realm seemed to fluctuate, and its source faintly transformed into the image of a twelve-leaf innate Qinglian.

Within the creative divine orifice, a twelve-leaf innate Qinglian emitted intense immortal light, as if the concept of the creative Dao had condensed into form.

And reaching this step was nearly accomplished in a single leap within a hundred years.

At this moment, the twelve-leaf innate Qinglian taking shape allowed Zhang Jian to possess multiple innate divine abilities.

The original innate azure lotus creation divine light, chaotic azure lotus immortal light, endless life secret method, and Dao-heart azure lotus mantra all seemed to take shape along with it.

It could be called a top-tier heaven-and-earth divine object.

But for Zhang Jian, it still fell short.

It could only be considered an innate divine object, not an innate spiritual root.

Innate divine objects and innate spiritual roots are two different essences.

Zhang Jian merely continuously used the Revolving Creation Method, carefully refining the origin of this twelve-leaf innate azure lotus, helping it accelerate the gestation of the innate immortal divine light deep within its core.

And at the same time, as he successfully comprehended the Wood Spirit Immortal Dao in a short time, Zhang Jian also gradually comprehended a trace of the profound mystery of endless life.

Deep within the Earth Emperor's true form, countless creation divine patterns were re-woven into an innate rune chain, integrated into the creation source, and a brilliant creation spirit light burst forth from within him, drawing vast innate spiritual mechanisms from everywhere to converge around the Earth Emperor's true form.

Zhang Jian clearly felt his own essence blood flowing more vigorously, as if each drop of essence blood contained immense divine power deep within.

A portion of essence blood, stimulated by the profound mystery of endless life, began to inhale and exhale, absorbing vast innate spiritual mechanisms and automatically dividing, nourishing some innate divine orifices, allowing them to begin recovering.

This is an excellent phenomenon.

Zhang Jian sensed that, as he perfected the profound mystery of endless life, only some water-mill effort was needed, and he would certainly be able to fully activate the three thousand divine orifices and the nine heavenly Dao Jade Mansions!

If the Earth Emperor's true form were likewise brought to a perfect state, his path to supremacy would naturally be complete balance.

Zhang Jian then focused his mind, temporarily directing his attention to the twelve-leaf innate azure lotus.

At this time, he could also feel the will of the Longevity Dao Sovereign silently observing him, but he paid it no mind, simply cultivating within this myriad-wood space.

Of course, he also did not forget to divert part of his attention to the Heart of Myriad Woods, monitoring the defense systems inside and outside the Longevity True Realm through it, ensuring no demonic intrusion.

In fact, Zhang Jian also knew that these thirty aeons of garrison duty, for him, were more like a 'vacation' granted by the Three Emperors' Holy Court!

This is a region under Heavenly Court jurisdiction, where the probability of powerful demons invading is not high.

……

"This brat really is flawless!"

In the Myriad Woods Space, the Longevity Dao Sovereign has been seeking an opportunity to persuade Zhang Jian.

But Zhang Jian gives him no opportunity at all.

He originally intended to use the Wood Spirit Immortal Dao as an opportunity, casually offer guidance, and then lead Zhang Jian into his scheme, but Zhang Jian's cultivation progress was truly beyond his imagination.

In a short time, he condensed twelve leaves of innate azure lotus and thereby successfully comprehended part of the profound mystery of endless life.

This rendered many of his plans useless.

However, the Longevity Dao Sovereign is not in a hurry.

……

Ten thousand years passed silently.

In the Longevity True Realm, after a period of bustling activity, it quickly returned to tranquility.

The restoration of the Patrol Hall's operation was merely a minor incident for the immortals and gods residing in Longevity.

Although the Patrol Hall has the function of patrolling the Longevity Realm, it does not participate in the operation of the Longevity Divine Court, focusing more on realm defense against external enemies.

Now the Longevity True Realm's rivers are calm and seas clear, with no demon threat, and even minor ailments do not require the Patrol Hall's intervention.

For a time, many immortals and gods quickly adapted to the new situation.

Deep within the Divine Court, the Eastern Yang Emperor, seeing Zhang Jian constantly cultivating in the Myriad Woods Space, felt somewhat relieved.

He no longer thinks of suppressing the Patrol Hall, having confirmed their primary and secondary roles!

He now only seeks to smoothly pass through thirty aeons.

After thirty aeons, seeing off this Earth Emperor God, he will be able to breathe a deep sigh of relief.

……

Within the Myriad Woods Space, the filling heaven-and-earth spiritual mechanisms, after transformation by the Heavenly Divine Tree, could not accumulate here but were instantly devoured and refined by Zhang Jian. Before him, a twelve-leaf innate azure lotus emitted intense azure radiance from each petal, with faint threads of unique azure creation source energy forming within.

Innumerable source Dao patterns gradually took complete form.

Deep within its core, a tender, illusory, phantom innate immortal spiritual light emerged from within.

Especially as it fully merged with the phantom of the third-grade creation azure lotus sent in by Zhang Jian, that phantom innate immortal spiritual light grew further.

Boom—!

With this change arising, countless brilliant creation immortal lights appeared around Zhang Jian's body, azure-green creation immortal light shot straight into the heavens, forming countless azure-green flames that enveloped him, continuously refining his vast essence blood within, and lighting up his innate divine orifices one by one.

At this moment, he had fully comprehended the supreme profound mystery of endless life from the Heavenly Divine Tree, and even penetrated part of the realm of heaven-earth unity.

At this moment, he seemed to have the Heavenly Dao of the Longevity True Realm willingly unite with him, and could directly swallow and absorb the boundless spiritual mechanisms of the Longevity True Realm.

Within the Myriad Woods Space, at this moment, boundless heaven-and-earth spiritual mechanisms were instantly devoured clean by Zhang Jian's entire body, merging into his Earth Emperor true form.

Around his Earth Emperor true form, vast divine power radiated outward.

Peerless divine power burst forth, as if faintly causing the Myriad Woods Space to tremble.

At this moment, the Longevity Dao Sovereign did not choose to hinder him, but instead fully mobilized the Heavenly Divine Tree to swallow and emit chaos, nurturing the wondrous of all laws.

Vast heavenly spiritual mechanisms, like an ocean, were mobilized and poured onto the Earth Emperor true form's entire body, causing his three thousand divine orifices to gradually merge and burst forth with peerless innate divine light.

"Still too slow!"

Zhang Jian felt an intangible bottleneck.

The Earth Emperor true form's speed of inhaling and exhaling innate spiritual mechanisms is far greater than this.

If fully unleashed, directly manifesting the Earth Emperor true form, he feared he could instantly drain the innate spiritual mechanisms here, even the Heart of Myriad Woods could be completely absorbed.

However, Zhang Jian is not in a hurry either.

Having comprehended the supreme profound mystery of endless life integrated into the Revolving Creation, he can continuously refine, split new essence blood, and gradually merge the remaining three thousand divine orifices.

It is merely a bit of water-mill effort.

He lacks no time.

Zhang Jian raised one palm, an intangible vortex emerged from his palm, as if countless heaven-and-earth great Dao source energies condensed from within, forming, endless, endless life, as if possessing an immortal divine power.

This is the method of revolving creation.

Having comprehended the realm of endless generation and the unity of heaven and earth, this divine power of creation has become ever more rounded and flawless, revealing a grand Daoist conception of the boundless primordial.

Unparalleled in grandeur and strength.

What is meant by the boundless primordial is nothing other than primordial power.

Vast and boundless.

Moreover, there is a mighty power to refine heaven and earth, to reverse destruction and creation in a single thought.

This mighty power has already surpassed the realm of the Second Transformation Dao Law, stepping into the realm of the Third Transformation Dao Law.

This even exceeds the scope of supreme divine abilities.

Zhang Jian's face remained calm, and he did not undergo too great a change because of it.

He could feel that this was not yet the limit of revolving creation.

If he could make the illusory innate immortal spiritual light within the twelve leaves of the innate azure lotus become real through virtualization, elevate it to an innate spiritual root, and combine it with the method of revolving creation, he might truly be able to shake heaven and earth, and with one hand cover and destroy the firmament.

However, the transformation of the innate immortal spiritual light within the twelve leaves of the innate azure lotus from illusion to reality, like his Earth Emperor true form, also requires the condensation of creation's primordial source over ten or more yuanhui.

This is not something that can be achieved simply by reaching a certain realm.

The condensation of essence-blood and primordial source cannot be created from nothing.

Zhang Jian let out a slight sigh.

Once the innate azure lotus is reborn as an innate spiritual root, he will be able to completely perfect his supreme form.

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhang Jian's face.

At this moment, the voice of the Longevity Dao Sovereign sounded.

"Truly awe-inspiring; I did not expect that in just around ten thousand years, you have cultivated the Wood Immortal Dao to such a degree, fearing you are not inferior to other Dao Sovereigns who have achieved the other shore through the Wood Immortal Dao!"

The voice of this Dao Sovereign carried some emotion, but in an instant, the tone shifted.

"However, your innate azure lotus seed is ultimately not the Creation Azure Lotus of innate spiritual treasure; you cannot condense creation's primordial source out of nothing, nor can you give form to the innate primordial source; you can only use the painstaking method of water-milling!"

"In fact, if you wish to cultivate the innate azure lotus seed and elevate it to an innate spiritual root in a short time, this sovereign may have a way!"
