Chapter 773: Second Transformation Dao Sovereign

The twelve-leaf innate green lotus actually grew new lotus leaves at this moment.

One after another, new lotus leaves emerged from the unopened lotus platform.

In the Myriad Trees Divine Pool, the clear Heaven-Earth primal source, the wood-attributed primal source turned into a surging vortex and rushed in, and at this moment the innate immortal spirit light was completely made real from the illusory.

Boom—

In the depths of the dark void, at this moment, gray-black calamitous evil was born.

The projection of the Chaos Primal Source Ocean descended, accompanied by the Great Calamity of Destruction.

This is the Great Calamity of Destruction belonging to the innate spirit treasure!

This is also the spirit treasure calamity.

This spirit treasure calamity also has considerable differences from the ordinary Great Calamity of Destruction.

Zhang Jian's vast other-shore will could sense that within the destruction space formed by the projection of the Chaos Primal Source Ocean, a projection world belonging to the spirit treasure had formed.

Countless layers of calamitous evil qi flowed from the dark void into the depths of the innate green lotus, as if with will, attempting to interrupt the formation of the innate immortal spirit light within, polluting the foundation, and destroying the origin structure of the innate spirit treasure.

Zhang Jian didn't even look; a stream of light from deep between his eyebrows directly entered the invading destruction calamity space, the purple-yellow dragon shadow flowing, the Lord of the State and Altar directly sealed this vast projection world, devouring it entirely, refining it, and merging it into the Earth Emperor's Golden Canon.

In a short time, the countless layers of calamitous evil above his head were instantly wiped clean.

At this moment, strands of innate divine light burst forth from before him, divine radiance shooting up to the heavens, and all the primal sources of the myriad Heaven-Earth great Dao laws responded, instantly merging into the depths of the innate green lotus.

Then one could see the innate green lotus gradually undergoing change.

The twenty-four-leaf innate green lotus, with the central flower bud bursting forth with formless azure-colored radiant light, was about to bloom fully.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, yet he chose to actively intervene; a vast divine power transformed into a secret method of regulating creation, pouring the transformed innate creation primal source into the root of the innate green lotus, causing the flower bud about to bloom to retract again, while a primal source instead flowed along, merging into the lotus leaves, and once more twelve pieces of emerald-green, tender green leaves grew out, becoming a thirty-six-leaf innate green lotus that had not yet bloomed.

Intense innate divine light burst forth from within, the veins of the thirty-six leaves slightly trembling, as if possessing creation, the light of purifying the world flowed out from within, purifying the boundless firmament.

Moreover, strands of strange innate pure fragrance spread throughout the space where the Myriad Trees Divine Pool was located, refreshing the heart and spleen, as if able to dispel and purify the杂念 deep in the soul.

Zhang Jian gazed at those lotus leaves gently swaying on the thirty-six-leaf innate green lotus, a hint of smile in his eyes.

By now, this innate green lotus could be considered to have returned to the sequence of innate spiritual roots.

Although it had only just given birth to a single innate immortal divine prohibition.

But it is also an innate spiritual root, and even more so an innate spirit treasure.

Zhang Jian casually summoned it into his body, and immediately felt a vast innate creation source continuously emanating from the depths of the innate green lotus, converging toward the Nine Great Heavenly Dao Jade Mansions, nourishing the Nine Great Heavenly Dao Jade Mansions.

This innate creation source, for any cultivator of the innate demon-true body, is a tremendous tonic.

For cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Great Dao immortals and gods, it is also a tremendous aid.

The speed of swallowing chaos and tempering Dao cultivation can also be enhanced.

Feeling that endless stream of innate creation source merging in and giving back, Zhang Jian simply, within the Myriad Trees Divine Pool, inhaled and exhaled the Heaven-Earth primal source, the wood-attributed primal source, gathering it into his own root Dao fruit.

At this moment he felt that he was only a layer of skin away from breaking through to the Second Transformation Dao Sovereign.

His Dao heart, primordial spirit, will, and even realm accumulation had actually already arrived!

Only the Dao body and Dao cultivation were lacking.

And now, with the supreme being's form perfected and the Dao body integrated, only Dao cultivation remained lacking.

……

In the primal source space, the Longevity Dao Sovereign also sensed the changes in the Myriad Trees Divine Pool.

The Myriad Trees Divine Pool is located deep within the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree, and is indeed the core territory of the Heavenly Realm Divine Tree; all changes within, he naturally could perceive.

Zhang Jian seemingly did not conceal his thoughts from him.

Seeing Zhang Jian, in a short time, had reversed the innate green lotus against the innate, achieved innate spiritual root, the Longevity Dao Sovereign could not help but sigh with emotion.

Zhang Jian's comprehension is truly astonishingly remarkable.

In a short time he had comprehended the essence of the Wood Immortal Dao, and moreover could innovate upon the old.

From his choice to give up blooming the innate green lotus, the Longevity Dao Sovereign could see that Zhang Jian had already pushed this inheritance to an extremely high realm.

Temporarily giving up blooming the innate green lotus actually does affect the power of the innate green lotus.

The defensive power of the innate green lotus mainly resides on the lotus platform.

The lotus leaves are more auxiliary and purifying in ability.

But Zhang Jian doing this is actually a very wise choice.

Although he temporarily gave up part of the innate green lotus's defensive power, he further increased the foundation of the innate green lotus.

When the flower bud is unopened, it is precisely the time to enhance the foundation of the innate green lotus.

The deeper the innate foundation, the higher the possible grade when the innate green lotus blooms, and the ultimate limit may be even higher.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign glanced toward the seal; he still had sufficient patience, waiting for Zhang Jian's cultivation to end.

……

Three thousand years later

Around the Myriad Trees Divine Pool, ocean-like Heaven-Earth primal source surged, layer upon layer of wood-attributed primal source turned into torrents, all merging into Zhang Jian's body.

His bodily qi mechanism had already reached an extreme limit.

As the boundless Heaven-Earth primal source merged and flowed into his body, instantly Zhang Jian felt his root Dao fruit tremble slightly, then suddenly break through a limit, layer upon layer of purple-yellow dragon-pattern light shadows as if completely merging with his root Dao fruit, and moreover a matchless overwhelming divine power from his three thousand divine apertures nearly surged forth, but in an instant was repressed again.

At this moment he could clearly sense his root Dao fruit expanding slightly at a visible speed.

Second Transformation Dao Sovereign realm!

The Heaven-Earth primal source in this Myriad Trees Divine Pool is indeed a tremendous tonic.

Otherwise, according to his original swallowing and tempering speed, it would take at least dozens of elemental meetings to complete Dao cultivation accumulation.

Zhang Jian at this moment raised his head, glanced downward at the Myriad Trees Divine Pool.

Nearly an elemental meeting's worth of whale-like swallowing and sea-like absorption, the Heaven-Earth primal source contained in this Myriad Trees Divine Pool seemed not to have diminished much.

Zhang Jian also couldn't help but sigh, this Heavenly Realm Divine Tree is truly profoundly mysterious.

If he had a divine tree of the heavens, helping him accumulate the primordial source of heaven and earth, the innate source, then his cultivation would become much easier thereafter.

This is far more efficient than a single Dao Sovereign sitting in meditation, inhaling and exhaling.

"After this matter is settled, I will try to obtain a spiritual root branch from this Second Ancestor to see if I can successfully propagate it by cutting!"

Zhang Jian secretly pondered in his heart.

The many benefits of the divine tree of the heavens made him somewhat envious.

Compared to that, his establishment of various innate spiritual pools still had lower efficiency.

Upon successfully breaking through, Zhang Jian also felt the projection of the primordial chaos ocean reappear once again.

That was the fifth great calamity of destruction of his true form.

He had already experienced this fifth great calamity of destruction three times; this is the fourth occurrence.

Zhang Jian handled it with ease.

As the destruction space took shape, he waved his hand and a divine light pierced through the destruction space formed deep within the primordial chaos ocean, swallowing the surging destruction qi, destructive qi, and degenerate dharma qi like a long whale sucking in water, swallowing them into his true form as the Earth Emperor; behind him, three thousand divine wheels appeared, and in an instant, they obliterated the vast destruction calamity, transforming it into pure innate creation, which merged into his body.

Faintly behind his head, nine heavenly Dao jade wheels appeared, containing boundless computational divine power.

If he were to unfold his true form, it would likely be far stronger than the true forms of the White Ze Holy Beast or the Ink God Demon Sovereign, by an unknown multiple.

Yet Zhang Jian felt that although his supreme being form was now complete, he still possessed infinite potential.

On this path, the current state of his Earth Emperor True Form resembles more a 'juvenile entity'!

If it truly grows, it may even be comparable to the ancient divine primordial heavenly king.

Achieve the Primordial True Form.

The only problem is that for the Earth Emperor True Form to grow, it requires an enormous amount of innate creation source.

So much so that perhaps only mythical treasures like the Chaos Green Lotus could bear the cost.

Zhang Jian sensed the Earth Emperor True Form's constant, invisible hunger, as well as the terrifying primordial source devouring the heavens and void; his powerful primordial spirit forcibly suppressed it.

Yet the innate creation green lotus within his body continuously inhaled and exhaled the chaos qi from the depths of the primordial chaos ocean, constantly nourishing his Earth Emperor True Form.

This innate creation source, though small, also quenches thirst!

Like a stream that flows long, one day his Earth Emperor True Form will also evolve to the Primordial Realm.

……

After successfully breaking through to the Second Transformation Dao Sovereign, Zhang Jian, having slightly familiarized himself with his power, tore open the void and entered the primordial space within.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign was already waiting for him there.

Upon seeing his arrival, he immediately handed him a jade slip.

Zhang Jian took it, and upon first contact, he had already absorbed all the information within the jade slip into his sight.

"The True Scripture of the Heaven and Earth Crucible?"

Zhang Jian's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Upon initial contact, he had already comprehended part of its profundity.

This True Scripture of the Heaven and Earth Crucible mainly targets the flesh of living beings, refining it from the body, wearing down the source of all things, to achieve the intention of killing the opponent.

This differs somewhat from what Zhang Jian had imagined.

Most powerful beings in the heavens and void are actually those with extraordinarily strong primordial spirit will; even if their flesh collapses, as long as their Dao heart does not die, their primordial spirit will can easily be reborn.

Seeing this, the Longevity Dao Sovereign said.

"Zhang Jian, the Heart Ancestor's hands and feet are rather mysterious; his flesh and soul are one, with no three souls and seven spirits, nor any primordial spirit—only pure, powerful flesh, immortal and indestructible!"

Zhang Jian was slightly astonished.

The Longevity Dao Sovereign continued.

"As for its origin, I have been investigating it these years; although I have gained little, I have gradually deduced part of its lineage—it should be a parasitic evil god innate to some great Dao rule within chaos!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes showed some strangeness.

"So this Heart Ancestor was originally just a parasitic worm in chaos?"

"Exactly!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign slightly nodded, then continued.

"But he is far more mysterious and powerful than an ordinary parasitic evil god!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian pondered briefly, then spoke after a moment.

"But I have heard that this person is more skilled at bewitching hearts, deeper in the Dao of the mind, hence his title Heart Ancestor!"

The Longevity Dao Sovereign smiled faintly.

"The Dao of the mind is merely what it shows willing for the gods to see!"

"In truth, its dual-source origin is its most formidable aspect, especially the parasitic great law, capable of manifesting three thousand parasitic worms of rules, enough to devour all realms of the void!"

"

Zhang Jian's face showed a hint of contemplation.

The origin is where the strong of the Other Shore Realm are strongest; possessing origin allows one to be called the source of the Great Dao, the beginning of heaven and earth.

Only then can one thus be called a Dao Sovereign.

The parasitic strange worms nurtured by the Heart Ancestor can actually devour origin, even the myriad realms of the void—this is indeed extremely terrifying.

Especially for the Longevity Dao Sovereign, a wood-attribute primordial ancestor, he would likely find this even more troublesome.
