Two days later, a figure clad in a cloth magic robe, surrounded by five-colored spiritual light, emerged from the Champion Scholar’s Mansion.
Zhang Jian sensed the current state of affairs, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.
The Five Dragons Scripture cultivation has reached this state; although it can’t compare to his two Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques, it’s already sufficient.
What’s more, the only exposed technique is the Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell, cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
The other Immortal Technique, Golden Crow Fission Technique, has not been exposed, nor have the other five-layered techniques within the Map of Mountains and Rivers. The guise of Master Wu Long has much potential.
With five-colored spiritual light swirling around him, Zhang Jian’s figure instantaneously appeared before the East Mausoleum, his presence silent and seamless, seemingly fused with the boundless Dragon Qi, mysterious and profound.
Gazing upon the grand East Mausoleum before him, a ripple appeared deep in his eyes.
Moments later, he deliberately released a trace of his essence.
Instantaneously, as his essence dispersed, Tiangang Master deep within the East Mausoleum flinched, raising his eyes which emitted a gold beam as bright as lightning.
In front of him, the Celestial Spirit Divine Sword resonated without wind, instantly transforming into a golden sword aura that abruptly darted forth, appearing immediately around ’Wu Long’.
A chilling killing intent descended upon him, Zhang Jian’s expression unchanged!
"A probe?"
A flicker of unusual color passed through his gaze, as he too was eager to test the Dao Practice of the National Guardian Master stationed at the East Mausoleum!
Five-colored spiritual light interwove across his body, as a golden spiritual light surged out, similarly transforming into a golden long sword.
The golden long sword flickered, like countless golden cold stars scattered across the firmament, starry lights aligned, forming innumerable dense sword Qi. Yet compared to the straight swordsmanship, it was more complex and grand.
However, complexity and grandeur do not always signify greater power.
Zhang Jian noticed that although Tiangang Master’s sword light was simple, it was not simplistic.
It’s fierce, mighty, carrying a vast sword intent that can cleave heaven and earth, an unstoppable sword intent capable of severing creation, cutting through destiny.
One sword light after another was arranged with an extraordinary force, sword lights crashing like meteors.
For now, the opposing side hadn’t utilized the power of Daqian National Fortune.
Zhang Jian watched the simple, fierce swordsmanship with an unchanged expression.
Since accomplishing Daoist Techniques, he rarely employed swordsmanship.
But this doesn’t imply low swordsmanship skills.
In contrast, he had been cultivating a special sword nurturing skill, the Holy Virtue Sword Cleansing Technique.
Such swordsmanship, when not performed, remains silent; once unleashed, it rocks the heavens.
At this moment, Zhang Jian was disinclined to easily wield the Dragon Roar Sword, instead merely utilizing the Golden Dragon Dharma Aspect from the Five Dragon Spirits, condensing into a Golden Spirit Magical Sword to demonstrate the Chaotic Star Technique.
Of the three forms in the Chaotic Star Technique, the previous two forms, Scattered Form and Four Symbols, he had mastered, innovated, forming a Star Dao Map corresponding to the three hundred and sixty stars of the cosmos.
The final form, Circulation, is a Primordial Spirit Level Immortal Swordsmanship.
This Primordial Spirit Level Immortal Swordsmanship is extraordinary, requiring the assembly of an All Heaven Star Sword Array, which even with Zhang Jian’s tangible Yang Spirit essence, demands great concentration.
It also attests to the uniqueness of this swordsmanship.
Now Zhang Jian condensed a Golden Dragon Magical Sword to execute the Four Symbols Swordsmanship, witnessing countless star lights entwining deep within the void, forming a grand Four Symbols Sword Array interwoven by sword light.
Manifestations of Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise among twenty-eight constellations.
Unique star runes resonated within the sword shadows, Zhang Jian simply mobilizing the power of myriad stars to clash with the Celestial Spirit Divine Sword.
Zhang Jian did not force the Golden Spirit Magical Sword to collide with the Celestial Spirit Divine Sword, having long noted that the Celestial Spirit Divine Sword was a Primordial Spirit Treasure, possibly nearing Spirit Treasure level. If confronted directly, the consequences were evident, merely entangling with divine sword profundity, consistently preventing the Celestial Spirit Divine Sword’s power from being fully expressed, letting it wander within the starry universe formed by the vast sword array.
"Such exceedingly peculiar swordsmanship?"
Within the Heaven-Praying Array, Tiangang Master Yuan Geng’s eyes remained calm, the opponent’s swordsmanship emitting a potent aura of Star Law.
This is an exceptionally advanced Primordial Spirit Level swordsmanship.
The opponent still held back.
But so did he; presently, his true body still presides within the Feng Shui Formation, likewise not yet employing his genuine Daoist Techniques.
Tiangang Master felt somewhat stirred.
A rare encounter with a proficient adversary in swordsmanship naturally calls for a thorough contest.
At this moment, the voice of Jingming Daoist outside the East Mausoleum rang out.
"Both esteemed elders, please stay your hands. Is it Elder Wu Long of the Tongshan Dao Lineage coming?"
At this point, Jingming Daoist descended from afar with escape light, having arrived beside the East Mausoleum earlier, during Zhang Jian and Tiangang Daoist’s struggle.
However, he too was interested in observing for a while.
Seeing the ’Wu Long’ Daoist before him able to grapple with Tiangang Daoist in dozens of rounds, evenly matched, he appeared.
No matter what, the ’Wu Long’ Daoist being comparable to Tiangang Master evidently indicated that this ’Wu Long’ Daoist is indeed a Primordial Spirit Master.
At this moment, Zhang Jian also withdrew the Golden Spirit Magical Sword, the spectacle of swirling star light around him vanished, merely circulating a portion of the Dharma Gate for suppressing Dragon Qi granted by the Sheji Emperor.
Since he came for business, some abilities must be manifested.
Therefore, he appeared to engage Tiangang Daoist.
This kind of combat served as a preemptive measure, gaining some tacit leverage.
Moreover, he used it to probe the defense strength deep within the Dragon Vein.
The probing result was quite astonishing.
The defensive strength deep within the East Mausoleum was extremely formidable, noting besides the Tiangang Master before him, a terrifying Divine Sense seemed to discreetly watch changes around the East Mausoleum.
That unknown entity’s Dao Practice might surpass the Tiangang Master.
"Could that entity be the Stabilizing Divine Needle enabling Daqian to stand unwavering?"
Zhang Jian pondered internally, but spoke aloud.
"Indeed!"
His gaze fell upon Jingming Daoist, maintaining a ’proud’ demeanor, he remarked softly.
"Is what I require prepared?"
Jingming Daoist now stood before the East Mausoleum, slightly bowed.
Upon hearing, his eyes flickered, as several elders of the Dong Generation behind him exchanged glances, hesitating.
Jingming Daoist deliberated for a moment but nodded with a smile.
"Elder, what you require has been prepared by Dong Shen Temple!"
He understood suppressing the Dragon Vein is profoundly perilous; requesting compensation first is comprehensible.
Crucially, this Primordial Spirit Master was situated at the heart of Daqian; taking advantage without executing the task won’t allow easy escape.
Even a cultivator from the Saint King Dao Lineage can’t simply exploit Dong Shen Temple.
Jingming Daoist gestured and released light from inside his wide sleeve, manifesting a Storage Pouch.
The Storage Pouch fell into Zhang Jian’s hands, his Yang Spirit Divine Sense skimmed over it, a smile emerged in his eyes.
This pouch of items is sufficient to help Bai Nu completely restore his origin, offering great hope in transforming into a dragon.
If the father-in-law succeeds in transforming into a dragon, another Primordial Spirit Level reinforcement joins the Zhang family.
The True Dragon Body, in terms of power, exceeds ordinary demon gods.
The remaining millennia-old Turtle Shell and Innate Geng Metal Spirit Pearl could fortify Bai Xianyin and Little Profound Turtle’s foundation.
