Zhang Family Mansion
The Yellow Court Blessed Land contains a complete configuration of Yin, Yang, and Five Elements, with the sun, moon, and stars shifting between illusion and reality.
Though tiny, a sparrow has all its organs complete.
Zhang Jian stood beneath the jujube tree, his gaze sweeping around. In a single thought, his Yang God Divine Sense dispersed and melded into the void, transforming into the mountains and rivers of Heaven and Earth, the sun, moon, and living beings.
After cultivating the Dharma Gate of "Dreaming in the Void" to the Primordial Spirit Level, Zhang Jian realized its wondrous nature.
Dreaming in the Void allows the transformation of all beings in a thought, and also the illusion of Heaven and Earth in a thought.
A single thought can transform into a giant creation deity in a dream, generating the mountains and rivers of Heaven and Earth, fashioning the origin of all things, and through this witnessing the derivation of civilization. Such a Mysterious Technique is exceedingly astonishing, even after Zhang Jian mastered it.
But simultaneously, he sensed danger.
If one is not careful, the primary divine sense could become lost in the ’Dreaming in the Void’, truly transforming into the mountains and rivers, sun, moon, Heaven and Earth, never able to return. However, if utilized properly, it could save him much cultivation time in the future.
This method of cultivation is immensely beneficial for understanding the "Nine-Turns Wishing Wheel Sutra", especially the strong sensation of time’s swift passage enabling Zhang Jian to quickly grasp the flash of insight concerning time traces in his mind, and condensing the Wishful Hour Wheel that first requires meditation in the sutra.
The true form of the Wishful Hour Wheel is exceedingly complex, like the gears of fate turning, yet seeming ambiguous. Initially, this wheel was simply composed of planar arrangements of a time disk.
The cultivation steps dictate virtual to real transition and commencing with visualization.
Yet, for Zhang Jian, whose Yang Spirit is immensely powerful, he could directly write out the talismanic script representing time with strands.
Standing beneath the jujube tree, his forehead unnoticeably fluctuates, his surroundings condensing an aura as if from ancient times.
At this moment, many traces of the time Dao rhyme manifest in Zhang Jian’s mind.
The traces of time derived from Dreaming in the Void, and more crucially, fusing the All Heaven Star Soul, borrowing the thread of the Great Dao Brand, comprehending the insight of Divine Travel.
The countless fragmented pieces are now like a treasure vault.
As he perceived the Great Dao Rune relevant to his insight, it was as if he returned to the time before chaos, a dimensionless disk takes shape behind him, forming a three-dimensional structure upon closer inspection, the countless gray runes resembling strands of gray sand drifting, the disk emitting a gray stone texture.
With the emergence of this gray radiance, Zhang Jian vaguely sensed his Yang God Divine Sense gaining insight into the layer of grand Heaven and Earth Law omnipresent in the realm.
Upon perceiving this Heaven and Earth Law, Zhang Jian’s expression abruptly shifted, sensing his vital energy beginning to accelerate in depletion.
His essence, energy, and spirit three treasures unify, now fully integrated into his Yang God’s Magical Power, the depletion of magical power reflects the decrease in his lifespan.
With a single thought, strands of gray runes appeared around him, faintly containing a unique power, transforming into a gray cocoon of symbols. Upon its formation, he sensed a marked improvement in the condition of his declining lifespan.
"This technique at crucial moments can indeed slow down the depletion of one’s magical power, avoiding such ’unintentional’ losses. Furthermore, if it can control the time flow rate at critical junctures, and embed it within one’s spellcasting capability, then the creation resulting..."
Zhang Jian opened his eyes, with a hint of sigh in them.
This auxiliary force of the Time Technique is indeed miraculous.
However, Zhang Jian felt it might not be wise to overly rely on it.
Using it once or twice might yield remarkable effects, but excessive use might turn detrimental.
Ultimately, his main cultivation path does not revolve around the Path of Time.
As Zhang Jian captured and explored the time treasures from the depths of his memory, the Wishful Hour Wheel he visualized immediately began to expand, gradually filled with an aura as if from the primal opening of chaos, countless peculiar runes emerged along with the memory, materializing upon the Wishful Hour Wheel, making it dappled with light, resembling the Celestial Dao Divine Wheel born from Heaven and Earth, exuding an ancient and tranquil aura.
With the emergence of this radiance, within the Yellow Court Blessed Land, it seemed like the winds and clouds changed color, countless waves twisting around him like a swimming fish, releasing a unique majestic power.
Zhang Jian’s comprehension of the "Nine-Turns Wishing Wheel Sutra" progressed exceptionally smoothly.
...
Just as Zhang Jian’s accumulation approached perfection, inside and outside the Guangyuan City of Beichu was filled with unease.
Surrounding tens of thousands of elite Daqian soldiers and fierce generals, numbering close to 600,000, gathered under Guangyuan City.
And Emperor Jingwu’s demise surprisingly did not affect the Daqian Army’s morale.
At this moment, with the arrival of the Dong Shen Ancestor, the entirety of the Daqian forces rather showed high spirits.
This weird situation rattled many cultivators attempting to fish in troubled waters.
Dong Shen Temple has entrenched in Daqian for centuries, its accumulated might as formidable as mountains and oceans, the tiger’s residual influence remains!
Moreover, this tiger is not yet dead, merely slightly weakened for the moment.
Before Guangyuan City at present, arrays are arranged one after another.
These are the final defenses of Beichu Cultivators.
Before this mighty city, they transform into walls of thousands of peaks, and also block tens of thousands of Daqian elite soldiers’ assaults.
Mere flesh and blood confronted with these killing arrays and demon arrays are inevitably limited.
Constrained by terrain and space, the tens of thousands of armies cannot charge together fully exerting the Blood Evil Qi that shatters all Magic forces.
If fewer enter, facing these demon arrays and killing arrays is simply insufficient.
Atop the city walls, the Grandmaster of Beichu, Tuoba Zhenwu, wore a solemn expression as he scanned his surroundings, flanked by several Beichu cultivators along with two True Monarchs of Harmonization.
