Chapter 772: Concept of Creation, Innate Spiritual Treasure (4K)

"However, I currently need to devote more of my energy to contending with the Heavenly Dao of the Longevity True Realm, so I fear I cannot exert myself fully and will still need your assistance!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign glanced at him and smiled faintly.

"Of course, I will not let you work for nothing!"

"You, taking the descendant of the Twelfth-Grade Creation Azure Lotus as your innate wood spirit, clearly aim to ascend to the Chaos Azure Lotus. Though I have never seen the true form of the Chaos Azure Lotus, I have fortunately seen the Merit Golden Lotus and even obtained a seed of the Merit Golden Lotus, which should be of further help to you. I can offer this as an exchange!"

Zhang Jian glanced at the Longevity Dao Sovereign.

Although he used the descendant of the Innate Azure Lotus as his innate wood spirit, he had never considered re-collecting the descendants of other innate lotuses to thereby complete the Innate Azure Lotus.

In his view, the pure Innate Azure Lotus was not without the hope of returning to its ancestral form.

Therefore, to him, the Merit Golden Lotus seed held little value.

It was merely equivalent to an ordinary heavenly and earthly treasure.

Zhang Jian slightly shook his head, and in the Longevity Dao Sovereign's peculiar gaze, he said.

"Second Ancestor, I can help you with this matter, but you must agree to several conditions for me!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign was slightly surprised, then immediately replied.

"Speak!"

Zhang Jian nodded slightly.

"First, if you ultimately succeed in subduing the Heavenly Dao source of the Longevity True Realm, I hope you will still retain the structure of the Longevity True Realm, leaving a dwelling place for our human race!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign glanced at Zhang Jian, with some ripples in the depths of his eyes, and said.

"This matter is easily said; I agree!"

"Second, within thirty yuanhui, you must not act against the Heavenly Dao of the Longevity True Realm!"

Zhang Jian's expression remained calm.

His garrison duty lasts thirty yuanhui.

After thirty yuanhui have passed, he will naturally be transferred away, and when other Inspection Heavenly Sovereigns enter this realm, whatever the Longevity Dao Sovereign does will then have nothing to do with him.

By then, whether the Longevity Dao Sovereign renegotiates with the Three Sovereigns Holy Court or directly secedes from it, he will no longer concern himself.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign's eyes flickered, and he smiled.

"I also agree to this condition. If you have any other conditions, speak plainly!"

Zhang Jian nodded and said.

"I need the earth and the authority of the Nine Netherworlds of the Longevity True Realm!"

He stated his final condition.

If he exerts himself to resolve this great hidden danger for the Longevity Dao Sovereign, this is also what he deserves.

Indeed, if not for considering that the Heart Ancestor Yuanchu's birth might lead him to join the demon race and become an opponent of humanity, he might not have chosen to assist the Longevity Dao Sovereign.

This does not align with his way of conducting himself in the world.

After all, having helped the Longevity Dao Sovereign, the latter might later seize the Longevity True Realm from the Three Sovereigns Holy Court, possibly bringing him trouble.

But at this time, he cannot avoid doing so.

This is for the human race, and also for himself.

The Heart Ancestor Yuanchu, besides being a major hidden danger to the Longevity Dao Sovereign, is also no less a major hidden danger to the human race.

Zhang Jian cannot allow a peerless evil god who might at any moment join the demon race to escape.

Believe this, and several human holy emperors and sages will also understand.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign fell into slight contemplation.

The earth and the Nine Netherworlds are two of the most powerful primordial authorities in heaven and earth, also representing two immense currents of fortune.

One is the foundation carrying all living beings; the other is the realm of all things' reincarnation.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign briefly considered whether such a great price was worth it.

But after reckoning, he felt this matter truly could not avoid this Inspection Heavenly Sovereign.

If the other party is unwilling to help him, within these thirty yuanhui, he fears it will be very difficult to smoothly let the Good Corpse escape.

When the next Inspection Heavenly Sovereign arrives, who knows whether that next Inspection Heavenly Sovereign will wish him to escape smoothly?

After thinking it over, the Longevity Dao Sovereign then said.

"I agree to this matter!"

Zhang Jian then said.

"After one yuanhui, I will personally come to pay my respects to Second Ancestor!"

His figure vanished in a single step into the primordial space, heading straight toward the direction of Iron Core City.

Seeing this, the Longevity Dao Sovereign's expression remained unchanged; his gaze fell upon Heart Ancestor Yuanchu in the depths of the primordial space, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

This thorn embedded in the flesh, at last, can be pulled out!

……

Outside Iron Core City, within the Nine Infant Demon Palace, the true form of the White Ze Demon Saint reappeared, his expression somewhat fluctuating. A moment later, three streaks of flowing light manifested from within the dimension of time and space, instantly merging into his Niwan Palace, with some firelight in the depths of his eyes, and anger brewing.

This journey to the Longevity True Realm has indeed turned out contrary to his expectations.

That unknown powerhouse is truly hateful, having almost ruined all his plans.

Moreover, the Three Corpses have suffered damage.

At this time, damage to the Three Corpses has caused him to lose many methods.

"Military Advisor!"

At this moment, within the demon palace, the Nine Infant Demon Saint hurried out from the gate, having already sensed the aura of the White Ze Demon Saint.

Her eyes held a hint of seeking as she gazed at the White Ze Demon Saint.

"Military Advisor, has the matter proceeded smoothly?"

The White Ze Holy Beast slightly shook his head, and upon seeing this, the Nine Infant Holy Beast was slightly surprised, then immediately she said.

"Has it been affected by the extraterritorial war situation? That Ink God Demon Venerable is truly hateful—he was actually intimidated by a mere yellow-mouthed brat and dared not act, truly disgracing an ancient demon venerable!"

There was some disdain in her eyes, and even more hidden killing intent surfaced.

At that moment, she recounted the entire sequence of events in the void one by one.

The White Ze Holy Beast listened silently, pondered slightly, then he said.

"Now this demon has no further use value; we might as well take action against him today, which can also serve as a warning to other 'allies'!"

A cold glint flickered in the depths of his eyes.

The affairs of the Longevity True Realm are not going well, and he is equally extremely annoyed.

To some extent, the hesitation of the Ink God Venerable has also led to his mission's failure.

If the Ink God Venerable had put in effort and invaded the Longevity True Realm, he believes that whether it is the Longevity Dao Venerable or another powerful figure, they would still have to divert some attention, and naturally he would have an opportunity to exploit.

Upon hearing this, the Nine Infant Holy Beast's ice-and-fire dual pupils instantly flashed a hint of sternness in their depths.

"Subordinate will immediately summon the demon horde—let that old demon have a good look!"

……

Above Tie Xin City, shortly after Zhang Jian arrived, he soon discovered that the two-realm battlefield deep within the void law realm suddenly trembled, and in the next moment violently collapsed.

And deep within the Gui Xu Demon Realm, several terrifying, vast source rules flowed out from within, colliding with each other.

Under immense power, only to see billions of layers of dimensional spacetime shatter, and within, dozens of terrifying entities manifested, fiercely colliding and clashing.

Under the stalemate of dozens of divine energies, the Gui Xu Demon Realm had already been torn apart from within; tens of millions of extraterritorial demon gods were torn apart by immense divine power, but after their true forms collapsed, they instantly transformed into billions of strands of demonic qi, each returning to the vast demon realm, causing the demon realm's power to surge violently.

A being of height hundreds of millions of zhang, resembling one who holds up heaven and stands upon earth, representing multiple heavenly and earthly concepts, manifested its true demon form in the extraterritorial realm.

Amidst the demonic flames, a terrifying demon god with seven heads and fourteen arms was enveloped.

Each of its heads seemed to be born from a conception of heavenly and earthly principles.

Among them were 【Eternal Darkness】, 【Destruction】, 【Devouring】, 【Depravity】, 【End of Dharma】, 【Annihilation】, 【Curse】, and so on—its demonic might unmatched.

Opposite him, the White Ze manifested his true demon emperor form, countless white lights flowing, like a world-shaking dragon-serpent coiling around heaven and earth dimensions, possessing the wondrous ability to devour heaven and earth, plunder, and swallow countless heavenly and earthly great道 rules.

The two fought wildly in the void, countless rule powers becoming tentacles, comprehensively strangling each other.

Fist to flesh, surging heavenly and earthly rule ripples, extending across billions upon billions of miles of void, as if two creator gods and demons were fighting in the flesh.

On Tie Xin City, countless immortals and gods gazed upon this terrifying power, all of them changing color.

Even some ancient Dao Venerables who witnessed this change also wore expressions never before seen—grave and solemn.

Under such a vast momentum, if these ancient Dao Venerables were to go up, they would probably only be able to endure a few more slaps.

At this moment, the gods' gazes all turned toward Zhang Jian beside them.

"Internal strife?"

At this moment, Zhang Jian's eyes held a hint of surprise.

But this trace of surprise was quickly suppressed by him.

These demons and monsters are all extreme egos; a disagreement leads directly to internal conflict, which is not particularly strange.

At this time, he had not prepared to participate.

Who knows whether this great battle is a sham or has some other purpose.

Even if it were truly a fake battle turned real, he still would not prepare to participate.

For such a great battle, if a third party appears, it might instead cause the two sides to cease fighting—perhaps even join forces against the third party.

Rather than that, it is better to let them fight to their heart's content, then wait for an opportunity to act.

At this moment, as the two-realm battlefield collapsed, the gods of the Longevity Divine Court sensed that the countless Gui Xu demonic qi were gradually being successfully refined by the great heavenly轮回, and immediately they also breathed a sigh of relief.

The true form of the Dongyang Emperor appeared beside Zhang Jian, and he also saw the distant battle.

And in another direction, the Longevity Dao Venerable had already appeared silently.

He seemed unwilling to let the gods know of his manifestation.

In the distance, the White Ze Holy Beast and the Ink God Demon Venerable unleashed true fire, each displaying their bottom-of-the-box techniques, beginning to clash.

The White Ze Holy Beast employed the Heavenly Demon Secret Method, manifesting a special divine weapon—a jade pot, yet possessing the power to refine all things.

The iron-blood royal banner unfurled above his head, blooming with peerless sharpness, stretching across heaven and earth.

In the heavenly void above, he was no longer subject to any secret method suppression; his shocking heavenly demon methods unfolded, stretching across heaven and earth—even if the Ink God Demon Venerable had comprehended multiple conceptual sources, facing the bombardment of the heavenly demon secret method, he could only contract his demon realm and contend with it.

Meanwhile, the remaining demonic path powerhouses were not so fortunate.

The black-robed demon god was blocked by the true form of the Nine Infant Holy Beast, who manifested a vast, heaven-covering, moon-obscuring nine-headed great serpent phantom; each serpent head seemed to similarly wield a kind of domineering source heavenly and earthly great道 rule, spewing forth vast divine power, bombarding the black-robed demon god into successive defeats.

However, the black-robed demon god clearly had reserves; although he had been retreating, he remained quite composed, occasionally still able to unleash demonic secret methods, attacking the Nine Infant Holy Beast's primordial spirit, disturbing her control over the nine heads of the Nine Infant true form.

But on the other side, the Great Phoenix Holy Beast, the Cultivated Snake Holy Beast, the Taotie Holy Beast, and the Dark Peng Holy Beast each manifested their vast true forms, conducting slaughter against the numerous demon gods in the Ink God army.

They are beings who attained the Dao in the middle ancient era; the weakest among them, the Dark Peng Holy Beast, is of the Three Revolutions Dao Lord's body, indeed the supreme overlord of the demon clan, a being of great divine abilities.

The other three are even ancient demon clan powerhouses of the Shore-Transcending realm.

For a time, countless demonic winds and evil qi surged into the Ink God army; the four Holy Beasts poured all their displeasure and malice onto the strong ones in the extraterritorial demon god army.

On Tie Xin City, the gods had already seen that these two sides were not pretending, but truly fighting!

Beside him, the Cang Xiang Dao Lord slightly raised his brow, about to speak, but then saw the Dongyang Emperor beside him, hesitated slightly, and the Yan Jue Dao Lord beside him spoke first.

"Venerable Heaven, are we…?"

A hint of inquiry appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Zhang Jian's expression did not change, while the Dongyang Emperor beside him shook his head and said.

"The Ink God Demon Venerable wants to flee!"

Upon hearing this, the various Dao Lords raised their heads and looked.

Only to see that the seven-headed demon god at this moment let out a furious roar; behind him, the vast墨玉-like solar corona suddenly expanded, transforming into the momentum of swallowing heaven and earth's eight荒, and violently surged toward the White Ze Holy Beast to devour him.

Even the White Ze Demonic Saint dared not forcibly receive this terrifying demonic secret art that far exceeded the limit; countless white radiance appeared around him, sweeping up the Great Phoenix, Dark Peng, Taotie, and Repairing Snake Four Demonic Saints who were fighting nearby, and he fled hundreds of millions of li.

Yet he saw the black demonic flames burst, and after they swept through, beneath the black sun's crown, the Ink God's figure continued to shrink, in an instant rolling up the entire vast demonic domain, directly turning into a black dot and vanishing—yet he directly returned to the Ink Abyss Demon Realm.

On the battlefield, seeing this scene, the black-robed demon venerable also summoned some demonic path powerhouses, each turning into a strand of demonic qi, following the opened outer demon gate, and fled straight away.

Zhang Jian saw this scene and was not surprised.

This is quite in line with the style of demonic path powerhouses.

If they can't gain an advantage, they just leave.

Anyway, in this great battle, even if they defeated the White Ze Demonic Saint, the Ink God Demon Venerable would probably be besieged by immortal and divine powerhouses deep in the Immortal True Realm.

Retreating now, even if it's somewhat embarrassing, there wouldn't be too much loss.

As for the lost outer demon god legion, it's no big deal—just spend a few hundred yuanhui to retrain them!

Seeing this, the Nine Infant Demonic Saint's expression changed slightly.

"Go!"

Unable to vent the anger in her heart, a short sound also came to her ears.

At this moment, he also saw several terrifying powers appearing in the distance, rapidly approaching; he had no time to react, his figure instantly vanished into the spacetime dimension.

Almost in an instant, Zhang Jian's figure appeared.

He glanced at the direction the Nine Infant Demonic Saint fled, a cold smile appearing in his eyes.

That slut ran fast!

But the matter of her insulting him on the two-realm battlefield is not over!

……

In the Immortal True Realm, after the outer realm demons retreated, the tense battle atmosphere gradually eased.

Many immortals and gods felt a sense of relief.

Not long after, reinforcements from various realms began to arrive one after another.

Their arrival speed was actually not slow.

As hosts, the Immortal Divine Court and the Patrol Heavenly Venerable Palace should naturally give them a warm welcome.

Soon after, powerhouses from the Three Sovereigns Holy Court also arrived personally.

However, upon learning that the Immortal Divine Court had repelled the demon horde and thwarted the joint forces of the two major demonic powers, they offered a few words of encouragement before hastily departing.

The battles in the heavenly void are busy, and the powerhouses of the Three Sovereigns Holy Court each have their own tasks, so they cannot stay in one place for too long.

……

After the Immortal Holy Court and the Patrol Palace expressed gratitude and dispatched the many reinforcements, the Immortal True Realm did enjoy a brief tranquility.

The Ink God Legion's invasion rang a warning bell for many ancient immortals and gods in the Immortal True Realm.

Thereafter, the gods almost unanimously chose to exhaust their foundations and accelerate the cultivation of their cultivation and divine abilities!

The stronger one is, the more self-preservation abilities they can gain amidst these ever-changing heavenly storms.

A yuanhui of time passed quietly.

In the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree, the Myriad Woods Divine Pool!

This place is vast and magnificent, the origin of heaven and earth is grand, resembling an boundless, formless heavenly pool.

Above the heavenly pool, countless auspicious clouds and rosy light spread everywhere.

Heavenly light falls from the azure heavens above, descending into the boundless divine pool formed by the origin of heaven and earth—clear and bright.

Boundless as far as the eye can see.

It seems as if the primordial qi sea of the Immortal True Realm, since the opening of heaven, has gathered all the origin of heaven and earth here.

Such accumulation, even the Immortal Divine Court, which currently holds authority over the azure heavens, has never possessed.

In the pure and flawless origin of heaven and earth, occasionally tinged with a pool of azure starlight, there are also strands of vigorous life essence qi, flowing like azure-green jade starlight within the clear, formless origin of heaven and earth—this is the wood-attribute origin naturally nurtured by the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree.

This is the wood-attribute origin naturally nurtured by the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree.

Just like the flat peach immortal fruit of the Ren Water Flat Peach, or the tea leaves condensed by the Enlightenment Tea Tree, they are all natural treasures containing the innate spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

However, the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree is somewhat special—this divine tree supports heaven and earth, excelling particularly in accumulating the origin of heaven and earth, especially the wood-attribute origin.

Yet the preciousness of this aspect is not inferior to that of the Ren Water Flat Peach or the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

These origins of heaven and earth, the essence condensed from the wood-attribute origin, are also natural treasures of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Zhang Jian sat cross-legged beside the Myriad Woods Divine Pool, wearing a purple robe, resembling an ordinary mortal with only slight handsomeness, a cyan-green divine light blossoming on his chest.

Around him, strands of clear origin of heaven and earth, the wood-attribute origin transforming into streams of light, flowed into the twelve leaves of the innate azure lotus before him, refining and transforming the twelve leaves of the innate azure lotus into innate creation origin, further nurturing a phantom innate immortal spiritual light deep within its core.

Allowing it to quickly transform the illusory into the real.

After nurturing for about a yuanhui, it has already undergone transformation.

At this moment, within Zhang Jian's body, all three thousand innate divine apertures were lit up; the three thousand innate dao patterns resembled countless vines, inscribed as deep within the true form of the Earth Emperor, causing his Earth Emperor true form to emanate an unprecedented profound aura.

This terrifying divine power, however, was tightly sealed by his Earth Emperor true form within his fleshly body, not leaking a single thread.

At this moment, Zhang Jian opened his eyes.

The twelve leaves of the innate azure lotus before him trembled slightly in an instant, as if resonating with a special rule of the great Dao of heaven and earth in the mysterious heavens, transforming into the 【Creation】 concept, and causing this 【concept】 origin to greatly increase; a grand primordial qi burst forth from the lotus petals.
