Three months later
On Vermilion Phoenix Mountain, Fengxi.
Magical power radiance flowed, and a grand tripod transformed into a golden light fell into the depths of the ancestral grave.
Zhang Jian ultimately chose to use his Lifebound Treasure, the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, to suppress the Red Dragon Vein, and also borrowed the power of the Red Dragon Vein to nourish this Lifebound Treasure in return, assisting in absorbing the Spiritual Mechanism and nurturing the Mountain and River Dragon Soul.
As the Qianyuan Golden Tripod descended as the Luck Suppressing Treasure, four Divine Lights shot up from Vermilion Phoenix Mountain, subtly drawing star light from the Four Symbols Star Realm of the heavens to descend, merging into the depths of Vermilion Phoenix Mountain’s Earth Vein, nourishing the Feng Shui Treasure Acupoint on the mountain, making the range increasingly mystical and majestic.
The Dragon Stance lay hidden.
"Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise!"
As a faint voice appeared in the void, a giant Seven-Colored Phoenix unfolded into the form of a Phoenix Spirit, transforming instantly into human form, her expression slightly amazed at the sight.
She merged herself into the Array, able to feel the immense strength of the formation.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird starlight above gradually dimmed, revealing a tomb beneath her feet. However, this special tomb was surrounded by many peculiar Runes, as if a giant firebird lay deeply hidden within.
This was the Vermilion Bird Position, and the other three directions naturally corresponded to the Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise positions.
As the Phoenix Spirit’s gaze surveyed, she perceived another realm within the tomb’s interior. Apart from the special Array set up, featuring the Vermilion Bird Banner suppression, there was also a giant Vermilion Bird Stone Statue Golden Body suppressing it from above, representing the Southern Spirit suppressing the Vermilion Bird Position.
The presence of four gigantic Golden Bodies allowed the Four Spirits to leave the Four Symbols Hidden Dragon Array for a period of time.
After all, most of the Four Spirits Guardians were divine beings with their own functions.
Only the White Turtle at the Black Tortoise Position fell truly into it, with one spirit constantly present, removing the worry of flaws appearing in the Four Symbols Hidden Dragon Array. If problems arose, other Three Spirits could be summoned.
In the Four Symbols Hidden Dragon Array, suppressors in the other three positions could also feel the uniqueness of this formation, as they continuously absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism as the core array eyes, enhancing the power of the Dragon Vein.
Four forces converged within the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, wherein a scarlet Treasure Pearl floated.
That was the Red Dragon Pearl.
A powerful Dragon Vein Essence was continuously released from within the Red Dragon Pearl, enhancing the underground Dragon Vein and blessing the four directions. The Four Gods stationed at Four Symbols Positions also felt their Life Plates being majestically suppressed by vast destiny, accelerating their magical power growth.
Especially Bai Nu at the Cyan Dragon Position; he felt a great attraction to the Red Dragon Essence Qi contained within the Red Dragon Pearl.
Although unable to directly absorb it, once the Red Dragon Essence Qi transformed into Earth Vein Dragon Qi, absorbing a strand of Earth Vein Dragon Qi purifies the magical power within his own Dragon Pearl, greatly aiding in transforming into a Dragon.
Bai Nu’s face broke into a smile, speaking aloud towards the sky.
"Ah Yu, we shall take care of this formation; with us here, there won’t be any issues with the Dragon Vein!"
From the Divine Light, Bai Nu manifested his Bai Shui Dragon Monarch form.
"And I will too. Xianyin will retreat in this mountain for a hundred years to assist the young master in achieving great undertakings!"
Bai Xianyin also flew out from the White Tiger Position with a playful smile on her jade-like face.
Meanwhile, in the Black Tortoise Position, the White Turtle merely lifted its head for a glance before lazily dwelling in the Earth Orifice, utilizing Earth Qi to cultivate.
Zhang Jian nodded to the three.
"Father-in-law, Phoenix Spirit, Xianyin, and Brother Xuan, I leave this place in your care. Should anything be untoward, you can summon me!"
"However, the Four Symbols Hidden Dragon Array is exceptionally strong in concealment and water manipulation, so normally you won’t need to intervene unless the Dragon Vein is truly exposed!"
Zhang Jian maintained a serene expression.
This formation was, in fact, not a Killing Array but more for concealing the Dragon Vein and increasing Dragon Qi.
But with Bai Nu and Phoenix Spirit, two Yin Spirit Venerables present, they could still serve some function.
Bai Nu chuckled, saying, "Ah Yu, with us, the Four Spirits guarding the array, everything will be flawless!"
Bai Nu was full of confidence, having just overcome the millennium Divine Dao Tribulation, his magical power was continually recovering. Once back to his peak, his true pinnacle as a Venerable of the Four Tribulations of the Yin Spirit, plus a Flood Dragon Body, no one but a Primordial Spirit Master would be a threat.
Zhang Jian nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
He naturally trusted Bai Nu’s strength.
He recollected, as the Canal Dragon Monarch once mentioned...
At this moment, Zhang Jian also felt the force of the Four Symbols persistently drawing and fusing Heaven and Earth Feng Shui within the ancestral grave, the three Hidden Dragon Positions within him were continuously strengthening.
Clearly sensing his own yin spirit’s three life plates gradually transforming to Pure Purple.
This was progress.
In the Treasure Record, before one steps into the Primordial Spirit realm, the foundational reliance on the formation of life plates is substantial.
The metamorphosis of the life plates, his foundational growth would be quite evident.
"Once Hidden Dragon Fate reaches Pure Purple, the next step is the King’s Mandate, progressing to the Nine-Five Emperor’s Fate, requiring secular foundation and the life plates’ voluntary evolution!"
Zhang Jian, clad in a green robe, maintained a calm gaze.
This day isn’t far off.
Even an ordinary cultivator, however skilled, needs a secular foundation to transform the Hidden Dragon Fate into the King’s Mandate!
One must raise the rebel banner, or be enfeoffed as a prince, but Zhang Jian isn’t an ordinary cultivator and naturally found a way around this.
He’s already thought of a method.
For instance, borrowing his own Dragon Vein or simply stealing the Spirit Charm of the Daqian Dragon Vein.
