Chapter 793: Stealing Heaven, Replacing the Sun

Outside Yuanzhou City, Zhang Jian successfully received Qinglan Xianzi, Hongling Xianzi, and directly sealed and brought along the Blood Shadow Tianzun.

After receiving the three, Zhang Jian directed his gaze toward Kongyuan Mountain.

The Huangyi Daozun on Kongyuan Mountain is the source of the trouble.

Zhang Jian already sensed that great trouble awaited him there.

At this moment, Zhang Jian also considered abandoning the mission and directly taking the two divine attendants to leave the Tianfu Realm.

After all, the greatest benefit lies on him—there's no need to take risks.

If the mission cannot be completed, upon return he would at most be questioned by the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council and possibly stripped of some authority.

But in an instant, he discarded this thought.

Returning like this might even affect his standing and reputation within the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council and among humanity.

If he abandoned the mission for personal gain, once this became known, the Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council would likely not invest much more effort in him.

Of course, mainly because Zhang Jian still has some confidence in bringing Huangyi Daozun out.

On the mountain peak, Zhang Jian at this moment took out a gray-white large eyeball.

Inside this gray-white large eyeball, gray-white light flowed and circulated, emitting a hazy radiance, containing a special profound Dao mystery within its circulation.

This treasure is an extraordinary artifact of the Shen Yin Dao Tong.

"Ignorant Child!"

It contains the concepts of 【Ignorance】 and 【Invisibility】; when fully activated, even a Daozun would be affected by this extraordinary artifact.

For powerful beings before him, or even objects, it directly ignores them, even producing the special effect of 【Invisibility】.

This extraordinary artifact is profoundly mysterious.

His Mountains and Rivers State Diagram actually also contains a similar concept.

However, it is completely opposite.

To think of mountains is mountains, to think of water is water.

And it is entirely biased toward active offense.

As he activated the Ignorant Child in his hand, a layer of gray-white divine light intertwined and flowed throughout his body, his form instantly vanishing from the original space, as if he had become an utterly insignificant entity in the void.

……

Before entering Kongyuan Mountain, Zhang Jian first entered Yuanzhou City, met with Shi Zu, briefly discussed, reached an agreement, and then proceeded to Kongyuan Mountain.

Kongyuan Mountain—Zhang Jian's true form manifested, his immensely sensitive primordial spirit will able to sense that at this moment, the renowned cave-heaven blessed land of the Tianfu Realm was already filled with intense danger.

Zhang Jian could imagine that Huangyi Daozun had likely already been placed under surveillance by the Four Great Dao Ancestors.

Merely waiting for his appearance.

It is unknown how many of the Four Great Dao Ancestors have their gaze fixed here, or whether all of them are focused on this place.

Zhang Jian slightly furrowed his brow.

Among the Four Great Dao Ancestors, at least one or two are supreme Dao powerhouses; even the weaker Dao Ancestors can mobilize the Tianfu Realm's heavenly Dao origin, equivalent to possessing partial supreme Dao power—this is already difficult to deal with.

Adding a tiger-eyed and watchful Fu Fu Tianzun, as well as unknown external powerhouses, Kongyuan Mountain has become a dragon's pool and tiger's den.

Yet Zhang Jian still decided to try probing it.

Using the power of the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, his form directly merged into Kongyuan Mountain.

The countless prohibitions spread throughout the cave-heaven blessed land of Kongyuan Mountain were to him as if they did not exist.

Not long after, Zhang Jian sensed Huangyi Daozun's qi presence within a celestial hall.

Only beside Huangyi Daozun, Zhang Jian felt several strands of extremely unusual other-shore qi presence.

Zhang Jian estimated that these were likely sent by the Four Great Ancient Sects to surveil and monitor.

Although hidden extremely well, in his eyes nothing could escape.

Zhang Jian's pupils slightly trembled, and the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram silently enveloped the upper and lower regions of Kongyuan Mountain.

Seeing the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram completely cover Kongyuan Mountain, a faint smile appeared in the depths of Zhang Jian's pupils.

This innate secret technique is one of the few on him that has reached the pinnacle of the Three Transformations realm.

This method—thinking of mountains as mountains, thinking of water as water—is most effective at concealing primordial spirit will.

Not to mention a few two-transform Daozun; even if a supreme Dao powerhouse arrived, they might not necessarily see through its falsehood and truth.

The three thousand great Dao roots within have already preliminarily perfected; internal operation is complete and flawless; entering it, there is no sound or trace, and no flaw will appear.

Even if the Four Great Patriarchs use part of the heavenly Dao rules, they would discover that within the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, they can similarly simulate various changes of heavenly Dao rules.

After the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram was arranged and formed, Zhang Jian directly manifested his true form and entered the celestial hall.

Inside the celestial hall, Huangyi Daozun was in closed-door cultivation.

At this moment, he was also in a helpless situation.

A hundred years ago, the Zhen Guang Ancient Sect and Zhen Fu Dao Tong came together to his door, asking him to cooperate in investigating the human elder Dihuang Shangdi; although he was unwilling, facing the pressure of Yu Chun and You Sheng, two Daozun, he had no choice.

One of them is the God of the Earth, the other is the Sovereign who controls life and death, the master of the underworld authority.

Although both are two-transform Daozun, their cultivation far surpasses his.

At this moment, Huangyi Daozun actually acknowledged some of Zhang Jian's statements.

Being in the Tianfu Realm, although he received the courtesy of the Four Great Ancient Sects and appeared infinitely glorious, at critical moments he was nothing—his status was actually inferior to ordinary Daozun of the Four Great Ancient Sects.

Huangyi Daozun at this moment secretly looked forward to entering the Three Sovereigns Heaven Realm.

The Three Sovereigns Sacred Court is a colossal entity above the heavens and void, where humanity sweeps across all heavens and myriad worlds, powerful ones gather like clouds, and its prestige is not inferior to that of the ancient Yaoting.

If he joined the Three Sovereigns Sacred Court, then places like the Four Great Ancient Sects—these local Dao traditions—would dare not treat him so!

Huangyi Daozun secretly felt resentful.

Just then, a faint voice came from the doorway.

"Huangyi Dao friend, it seems you are being monitored?"

As this voice appeared, Huang Yi Daozun's eyes twitched, and he saw the door of the quiet chamber suddenly open, a figure swaying grandly appearing at the doorway.

Gazing at this figure, Huang Yi Daozun could not help but rise to his feet.

"Earth Emperor Daoist..."

Golden light flickered deep in his eyes, and only after a moment did he speak.

"Earth Emperor Daoist, your divine powers are truly vast—daring to enter the Void Source Mountains at this time!"

Zhang Jian spoke with a calm expression.

"The Void Source Mountains are now under my control, Daoist—have you truly resolved to leave the Heavenly Talisman Realm?"

He fixed his gaze upon Huang Yi Daozun, awaiting his decision.

Huang Yi Daozun hesitated only slightly, then spoke.

"Thanks to your favor, Daoist, repeatedly inviting this lowly one, and now, even at this perilous moment, you appear fearlessly to rescue—this venerable one is willing to lay down my life for humanity!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's lips instantly curled into a faint smile.

"You are too modest, Daoist. With your mastery in elixir formations, upon entering the Three Emperors' Holy Court, you will surely display your might and shake the myriad heavens!"

"Delay is unwise, Daoist—do you have anything else to bring? We shall depart immediately, lest unforeseen troubles arise!"

Huang Yi Daozun gave a slight nod.

"Daoist, please wait a moment—I still have some belongings in the Void Source Mountains to take with me. Moreover, I have prepared a great gift for the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly!"

A smile appeared on his face.

After a moment's thought, he added.

"Furthermore, I have several disciples and attendant deities—may they come along as well!"

Zhang Jian nodded and said.

"Naturally, but to avoid mishaps, we should first inspect them thoroughly, lest others have planted schemes upon them!"

Huang Yi Daozun acted swiftly; in no time he had taken out all the treasures stored in the Void Source Mountains. Noticing that the immortals and deities of the Four Great Ancient Sects around him paid no heed to his actions, his heart stirred, and he immediately dug up several rare spiritual roots and divine trees of heaven and earth from within the mountain.

Only then did he summon his disciples and attendant deities into the Void Source Great Hall.

Within the Void Source Great Hall, Zhang Jian's form appeared out of thin air. Without waiting for the disciples and attendant deities of the Void Source Mountains to inquire, he waved his hand, and a divine light enveloped all the immortals and deities, shrouding their five senses and spiritual awareness. The purple-yellow immortal light in his hand transformed into green immortal light, which entered the bodies of the immortals and deities, examining all manner of secret arts within them.

Among them were many who carried spatial position coordinates, and even those who had been silently and secretly controlled by others. Under his divine light of creation, the secret seals within their primordial spirits were repeatedly drawn out, and their Dao arts were controlled.

Huang Yi Daozun watched this scene, unable to suppress a secret anger.

"The Four Great Ancient Sects bully people too much!"

His eye twitched, and he gritted his teeth slightly.

He knew the Four Great Ancient Sects had surely mixed sand into his Void Source Mountain, but he had not expected even his direct-line disciples and attendant deities to be secretly controlled!

After the secret arts, seals, or suppressions on the immortals and deities were removed or cleared, Zhang Jian waved his hand and directly absorbed all the deities into the Qiankun Diagram within. His form transformed into a stream of light, swiftly flying and leaping outward beyond the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

The spacetime dimensions of the Heavenly Talisman Realm are extremely long, and Zhang Jian indeed spent some time.

But it proceeded quite smoothly.

During this time in the Heavenly Talisman Realm, Zhang Jian produced no omens whatsoever.

Because this time he did not hold any authority related to the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

Yet within the Qiankun Diagram under his control, Huang Yi Daozun's surroundings burst forth with streams of magnificent purple primordial qi, which instantly severed and departed.

Additionally, several disciples suddenly manifested threads of divine light, which drifted from their bodies and returned to the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

This is their condensed origin status and sovereign status of the Heavenly Talisman Realm, as well as the status of a Divine Monarch.

Seeing the anomalies manifest on the deities' bodies, Zhang Jian slightly furrowed his brow.

This fluctuation is quite evident, especially for the Four Great Dao Ancestors who control the Heavenly Dao authority—they would likely take it as tantamount to being directly told that Huang Yi Daozun has already left the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

There may yet be turmoil ahead!

In Zhang Jian's eyes, the void law realm beyond the Heavenly Talisman Realm began to boil at a visible speed, a vast phenomenon condensing into form, suddenly manifesting a majestic, vast divine figure, as if an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

Layers of heavenly divine power flowed around his form; gazing with his eyes, it seemed a vast divine power condensed and presented itself.

Zhang Jian knew this was the Heavenly Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

Also the nominal supreme of the Heavenly Talisman Realm, now holding the vast majority of its authority, his mighty fury so great that even the Hongyuan Dao Ancestor and the True Talisman Dao Ancestor must yield to him somewhat.

Upon seeing his manifestation, Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, merely bringing the deities as a stream of light flying toward the realm's exterior.

Having departed the Heavenly Talisman Realm's dimension, the threat posed by the Four Great Dao Ancestors to him greatly diminished.

If the Four Deities dare to pursue.

This endless spacetime dimension will become the burial ground of the Four Great Dao Ancestors.

However, Zhang Jian also knows that, concerning a primordial spiritual treasure born of the myriad heavens and worlds, the other side will likely not relinquish it easily.

When the time comes, a confrontation will be unavoidable!
