Chapter 815: Careful, Divergence

Many innate spirit treasures, suppressed by the pressure of the Primordial Chaos Origin Great Dao rules, cannot be activated.

Some secret arts are likewise unusable.

Zhang Jian's innate Dao diagram flew up and unfurled, threads of immortal light descending to envelop the gods.

The gods seemed to have gained halos of "Neglect" and "Invisibility" around their bodies.

The gods also clearly perceived the profound marvel of this innate Dao diagram.

They seemed to merge with the Primordial Chaos River, becoming extremely obscure.

This innate Dao diagram originated from the Divine Hidden Dao Lineage, but it does not merely possess the concepts of "Neglect" and "Invisibility"; it also contains part of the special marvel of the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram—"Disguise," "Seeing the mountain as mountain, seeing the water as water."

The gods surged upstream, racing toward the upper reaches of the Primordial Chaos River, and soon saw terrifying primordial chaos beings occupying the mouth of the Primordial Chaos Divine Flood.

They resembled terrifying black reefs, towering millions of zhang high.

They were enormous black eyeballs!

Moreover, they appeared in groups.

Around each black eyeball spread countless black tentacles, plunging deep into the Primordial Chaos River, monitoring and controlling the entire river mouth.

"They are Chaos Evil Eyes!"

Guang Sheng Di Jun gazed at the rows upon rows of dozens of terrifying chaos beings, his eyes flickering with a hint of change.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian spoke calmly.

"Do not worry; steady your Dao-heart, and they will not detect us!"

Zhang Jian had encountered such chaos beings before.

Their perception is extraordinarily keen, and they possess special powers like child techniques, able to ignore the suppression of the Primordial Chaos Origin Great Dao rules and pierce through chaos.

At this moment, each released a special chaos domain from their bodies; passing before their eyes was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Zhang Jian took the lead, yet he brought the gods gradually closer to these Chaos Evil Eyes.

As they approached the Chaos Evil Eyes, several mighty immortals and gods noticed that these Chaos Slant Eyes seemed to sense something; each opened their black-and-white-clear eyes, fixing their gaze upon the group.

Sensing this, several people's expressions changed slightly.

But Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged; under the support of the innate Dao diagram, the gods seemed to turn into threads of chaos air, merging into the depths of the Primordial Chaos River and flowing naturally past.

Although these chaos beings' eyeballs followed the gods' movement, they remained unmoved, as if they had seen some special "object."

Although they could detect the gods' traces, they did not provoke hostility.

"What do these Chaos Evil Eyes regard us as?"

Behind him, Chi Jun Dao Ren's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.

Zhang Jian smiled faintly; beside him, Shao Hua Tian Zun lightly stroked the hair at his temples, then pointed downward at the Primordial Chaos River,

"They must be seeing them!"

The gods' gazes swept over, and they saw in the deep chaos torrents countless "black stones" tens of thousands of zhang high emerging.

But upon closer inspection, these "black stones" were not secretions of the Chaos Evil Eyes combined with primordial chaos qi to form foreign matter; instead, they were each a small Chaos Evil Eye.

These are not juveniles.

They can be said to be incarnations of these Chaos Evil Eyes.

Of course, to a certain extent, they can also be called juveniles.

After occupying a place, these Chaos Evil Eyes unconsciously分化出 part of their origin to form small Chaos Evil Eyes, perfecting their evil eye domain, planting their eyes throughout the surrounding chaos to facilitate observation.

But if the main body encounters an accident, these "implanted" eyes will also absorb part of the origin to回流, reforming into new individuals.

This is a trait of the Chaos Evil Eye clan.

A group of Chaos Evil Eyes watched the people enter the depths of the Primordial Chaos Origin Secret Realm, then continued to close their eyes.

Seeing this, the gods' expressions all relaxed slightly.

Dealing with this group of Chaos Evil Eyes is not difficult; the gods are more concerned with awakening the powerful beings deep in the Primordial Chaos Origin Secret Realm.

"Earth Emperor Dao Friend, this secret art is truly miraculous!"

Guang Sheng Di Jun's face bore a smile, yet he could not help but praise incessantly.

Luo Fu Tian Zun glanced over, yet his expression remained calm, and he said,

"Let us go; we continue forward!"

The gods gathered their spirits; Luo Fu Tian Zun returned to the front, and the people still bore the Innate Divine Hidden Dao Diagram, walking toward the depths of the Primordial Chaos Spirit Lake.

This vast Primordial Chaos Spirit Lake presents a triangular shape, but its volume is extraordinarily vast.

Zhang Jian had also never seen such a vast Primordial Chaos slow-flow region before.

Where his gaze reached, streams of pure spiritual qi surged like chaos spirit mist in the air, while below the Primordial Chaos Spirit Lake, chaos spirit liquid condensed into form.

Zhang Jian could imagine that such a region, even in the depths of the Primordial Chaos Origin Ocean, would be a rare blessed land of caves and paradises.

But Zhang Jian could also imagine that one who could command such a vast host of chaos beings as subordinates would certainly not be a simple powerful being.

To steal his home would carry no ordinary risk.

Upon entering the depths of the Primordial Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, the gods did not see any other chaos beings or chaos demon gods.

"Luo Fu Senior, when you previously explored, did you ever find traces of chaos beings or chaos demon gods in the Primordial Chaos Origin Spirit Lake?"

Guang Sheng Di Jun, seeing this, could not help but speak up to ask.

Luo Fu Tian Zun, hearing this, stopped his movements.

"I likewise did not see any chaos beings or chaos demon gods in this Primordial Chaos Spirit Lake during my previous exploration!"

"But this is also normal; in the Primordial Chaos Origin Ocean, some chaos beings and chaos demon gods have extraordinarily strong territorial awareness and will not allow other chaos beings or chaos demon gods to enter their territory, even if they are subordinates or servants!"

Zhang Jian stood in place, his expression unchanged, only his eyes held a hint of strangeness.

For some unknown reason, after entering this Primordial Chaos Origin Ocean, he arose with a vague sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis is extremely obscure, but it does indeed exist.

It seems they have already entered deep into danger.

But at this time, leaving directly is obviously not possible.

I'm afraid the whole team would not allow anyone to leak the secret of this place.

But he still spoke up.

"Seniors, fellow Daoists, please be more careful. After entering this place, I always have a sudden feeling that we have already entered deep into danger!"

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's reminder, the gods' expressions changed instantly.

Immediately, each closed their eyes to sense. After a moment, Shaohua Tianzun opened his eyes first, his gaze sweeping over Zhang Jian.

"Di Huang Daoist, do you not feel anything unusual?"

Chijun Daoist quickly opened his eyes and said.

"I don't either!"

Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor and Luofu Tianzun exchanged a glance; they likewise felt nothing unusual.

Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze turning to Zhang Jian, and asked.

"Zhang Daoist, can you sense the specific source of danger?"

"How intense is it?"

He did not take it lightly.

The Chaos Primal Source Ocean is extraordinarily dangerous, with too many strange chaotic beings; any slight contempt could lead to serious consequences.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian closed his eyes. His vast primordial spirit will emanated forth; at this moment, the platinum primordial spirit at the depths of his brow radiated dazzling platinum light, and a surge of magnificent divine energy coiled around his body.

He did not employ any probing secret technique, merely relying on the unique nature of his primordial spirit for perception.

In his primordial spirit perception, the surrounding void was always filled with a faint sense of crisis.

Although the sense of crisis was not strong, it constantly made him feel like a thorn in the back, impossible to ignore.

But when he carefully sensed the source, he found nothing.

He turned to Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor and said.

"The danger comes from all directions!"

"As for the intensity, it is not particularly strong!"

Upon hearing this, Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor glanced at this Chaos Primal Source Spirit Lake and said to Luofu Tianzun.

"Luofu Daoist, although I cannot sense it, I also feel that this Chaos Primal Source Spirit Lake is overly quiet!"

"We all know that wherever fierce beasts dwell, weaker beings dare not approach; this Chaos Primal Source Spirit Lake being so quiet must be for the same reason!"

The gods nodded involuntarily.

No one at this time would risk their life to save face or compete for victory.

The gods had long since passed this stage.

But now the problem is, Luofu Tianzun has long since confirmed that there is a special danger deep within this Chaos Primal Source Spirit Lake!

Now the only remaining problem is whether continuing the adventure is worth it.

Several powerful immortals and gods have once again fallen into hesitation.

Part of the immortals and gods have already started to retreat.

Guangsheng Emperor and Chijun Daoist both show some hesitation in their eyes.

Among the six, their cultivation levels are the weakest.

They are only Three-Reversion Dao Lords.

If they encounter an accident, the survival rate of the remaining few will certainly be far lower than that of the other four.

Chaotic treasures may be good, but they are not as important as one's own life.

Having just entered, they have already started to retreat—wouldn't that damage their own reputation?

At this moment, Luofu Tianzun swept his gaze over the gods and said.

"Since ancient times, opportunity and risk have gone hand in hand. We cultivators have reached this level; progress has become increasingly difficult, and ordinary treasures can no longer aid us. This Chaos Primal Source Spirit Lake must contain rare treasures. Such an opportunity—how can we hesitate?"

After a slight hesitation, he then threw out another 'bombshell'.

"To be frank, the last time I entered this place, I discovered an extremely special chaotic space at the lake's core, surrounded by multiple layers of chaotic primordial qi. Inside, I fear there may be a great treasure born from the chaotic mother qi!"

At this moment, ripples appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"Do not forget, the several great treasures in the hands of the ancient holy Yuanshi Tianwang were all obtained from the chaotic primal source. We too cannot fail to obtain this great treasure and change our destined fate!"

Zhang Jian glanced at him.

Although the deep Chaos Primal Source Ocean nurtures treasures, he currently lacks nothing in terms of treasures.

He currently possesses the innate supreme treasure Kaihuang Jinling Sword, which is already sufficient.

There is no need to risk his life for such an opportunity.

Moreover, his purpose in entering this place from beginning to end has been only the chaotic beings polluted by the Lingkong Mother God, the chaotic demons.

However, Zhang Jian also had no intention of ruining Luofu Tianzun's plans at this time.

Just as he was about to speak, Guangsheng Emperor beside him spoke first.

"But such treasures are not something we can touch!"

"No matter how good the treasure, it belongs to others; life is one's own!"

Upon hearing this, Luofu Tianzun's expression changed slightly, his eyes falling on Guangsheng Emperor, instantly turning sharp.

"Guangsheng Daoist, you are also the initiator of this expedition. Why, upon hearing the wind, are you also so timid?"

Zhang Jian could sense that this Luofu Tianzun's eyes already burned with true fire.

It seems this Luofu Tianzun places great hopes on this journey.

Beside him, Chijun Daoist pondered for a moment and then said.

"Guangsheng Daoist, since we have already arrived here, we ought to take a look; who knows, there might be unexpected gains?"

He is somewhat optimistic.

Zhang Jian's expression is calm, yet he speaks frankly.

"Before I joined, I had made it clear: if I sense danger, I will absolutely not continue forward!"

Seeing the change in the gods' expressions, Zhang Jian adds.

"But since we have come, I will not ruin the important affairs of you seniors!"

"How about this: I will lead Guangsheng Daoist outside, wearing sheep disguises to attack some chaos-born spirit clans; you four Daoists seize the opportunity to search for benefits in the depths of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake—how does that sound? Only, when we gain benefits, remember to split them into two shares for us two?"

He proposes a seemingly win-win suggestion.

Of course, this suggestion actually has many loopholes.

The controllable space is quite large.

Luofu Tianzun clearly also knows this; deep in his eyes, there is faintly a gloomy hue.

At the bottom of his eyes, there flickers a thread of sharpness, killing intent faintly present.

His gaze mainly falls on Zhang Jian.

This time, it is mainly this immortal who joined midway who ruined his plans; if he did not know he might not be able to kill the opponent, he would gladly strike directly, slaying Zhang Jian here.

Seeing this, Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor instantly shakes his head; he does not want everyone to become too stiff, so he says.

"Dihuang Daoist can achieve something in a short time; surely he must have strengths, and we trust him. Since that is the case, why not split into two teams?"

"With Dihuang Daoist on the periphery to distract, our infiltration will be all the more convenient!"

Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor smooths things over.

Now we can only do this.

Zhang Jian nods, then immediately brings Guangsheng Emperor toward the outskirts.

No matter what, he will not lightly take risks.

Moreover, he now has no need to take such danger.
