Void Realm, True Realm City.
Here, endless thunder light pervades, along with earth, water, wind, and fire, various Chaos Qi swirling, fantastical and bizarre.
Zhang Jian’s figure appeared in the True Realm, and he immediately sensed the strangeness here.
It’s as if countless Primordial Qi were clumped together, full of destructive power, yet inside, it contains the profoundness of the Great Dao, making it elusive.
This is the Fourth Tribulation of the Yin Spirit, the True Realm of Enlightenment.
Zhang Jian had consulted the Preaching Elders of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, and also his master, True Monarch Zhanmo, the results were all similar.
This tribulation is extraordinary.
It is said that one needs to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Dao Rules, seize a portion of the true intent of the Great Dao, and integrate it into one’s Primordial Spirit, which will then trigger a heavenly tribulation.
He uses the Map of Mountains and Rivers as the foundation of his Primordial Spirit, aiming to infer the true intent of this Daoist Technique, integrate it, and engrave it deep into the Yin Spirit, causing it to directly contact the Heaven and Earth Dao Rules, which triggers the transformation of the Yin Spirit and naturally brings about heavenly backlash.
From this inference, Zhang Jian can be certain that the backlash from obtaining the true intent will be terrifying.
Because his foundation, the core of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, is Sheji.
The Sheji Dao’s profundity is different from other true intents of the Great Dao.
Moreover, Zhang Jian intends to perfect the Map of Mountains and Rivers; the Sheji Dao’s profoundness is just the foundation.
He hopes the Map of Mountains and Rivers can eventually grow into the state of mythical legend, achieving an unprecedentedly powerful Primordial Spirit as a result.
Therefore, when he undergoes the Great Dao tribulation, he might face not just one layer of heavenly backlash.
"Let’s try it first!"
At this time, Zhang Jian summoned the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and a spiritual light appeared above his head, revealing a Nine-Colored Divine Map. Within the map, mountains, rivers, and hills emerged, countless figures condensed, clouds changing, sun, moon, and stars appeared, and a majestic mighty weight emerged from it.
That is the Sheji Dao Rhyme.
Yet if it only possesses the Sheji Dao Rhyme, this Map of Mountains and Rivers is merely a brick, capable only of smashing people and suppressing demons, lacking the profound Marvelous Power of forming its own realm and altering between illusion and reality.
Yet, at this moment, the Sheji Dao Rhyme manifested, and the True Realm City changed abruptly, countless chaos shattered, and mountains, rivers, and hills emerged, likewise revealing a Map of Mountains and Rivers, which fused with the spiritual light of Zhang Jian’s Map of Mountains and Rivers.
As it fused on its own, Zhang Jian immediately felt a tremendous burden emerge from the Yin Spirit.
But at this moment, his materialized Yin Spirit shimmered with a soft light, and that special ’gravity’ slowly dissipated.
"Is this the extent of the backlash?"
Zhang Jian opened his eyes at this time, and if this was the extent of the pressure, it was truly nothing.
But then, a second layer of transformation was born.
He could sense an enormous pull from the boundless Map of Mountains and Rivers evolved from the True Realm City, as if his own Map of Mountains and Rivers was being dragged downwards, with a majestic Dao Rhyme using the opportunity to try and pull his Yin Spirit into it.
Zhang Jian’s gaze fluctuated; he felt he could suppress this pull at any time, but still, he invested a portion of his Yin God Divine Sense into it. In an instant, he felt an ocean of countless Sheji Dao Rhyme flowing from within.
"Is this the profundity of the True Realm of Enlightenment?"
The Yin God Divine Sense fell into it, and a thought vaguely flashed deep within Zhang Jian’s mind.
He clearly felt an ocean of Sheji Dao Rhyme pulling his Yin God Divine Sense, but inside, there were clearly many false Sheji Great Dao Rhymes.
This much he was very sure of.
Utilizing the rune-calculation methods taught within the sect, a slight inference could clearly negate them.
This is rebellion and falsehood.
But inside, there really was a portion of genuine Great Dao profoundness. If one could integrate it into one’s understanding of the Sheji Great Dao, it would surely condense a Sheji True Intent, causing the Yin Spirit to transform.
This is the mysterious Law Divine Power.
Once the Map of Mountains and Rivers merges, only then can it be called a divine technique, rather than merely a mundane magic.
It contains Law Divine Power.
This is also the essential difference between Primordial Spirit Immortal Technique and ordinary magic.
...
In the Beichu realm, within a grand underground palace, surrounded by countless blazing flames.
Though the underground palace was dark, it was majestic and resplendently decorated, exuding femininity. At this moment, in the center of the underground palace, a graceful divine figure, shrouded in divine light, stood as the leader, surrounded by two rows of over ten seats.
Atop the seats were many cultivators exchanging information.
This was a secret alliance among one of the smaller groups within the Golden Maiden Sect.
The Golden Maiden Sect is more like a coalition of many cultivators than a sect, where everyone acts independently, but cooperates with each other externally. Still, two cultivators hold extremely special positions.
One is the Sect Ancestor, the Golden Radiance Saint Mother; the other is the Saintess of the sect.
The Sect Ancestor is the founder of the Golden Maiden Sect, her divine techniques vast, sheltering many cultivators, gaining the support of many elder cultivators within the sect.
The Saintess, usually a Yin Spirit Venerable most likely to reach the realm of Primordial Spirit Master, likewise ensures the cohesion of the Golden Maiden Sect.
At this time, after one of the Yin Spirit Venerables relayed a message, another Yin Spirit Venerable also shared the information they had.
"I recently received a piece of news; within the Barbaric Region’s Little Arctic Realm, a thousand-year Profound Ice Elite has emerged. Interested friends can give it a try!"
Upon hearing the news of the thousand-year Profound Ice Elite, many Yin Spirit Venerables showed their interest, especially the two Yin Spirit Venerables who specialize in the Cold Ice and Profound Yin attributes, their expressions piqued.
After a brief exchange, one of the Yin Spirit Venerables also spoke up.
