Such divine power and strange omens are truly astonishing!
However, Liu Rui did not have the heart or energy to focus on them as her mind was entirely on the upcoming Reincarnation Life and Death Tribulation. In an instant, her Yin God Divine Sense followed the manifested "Life and Death Treasure Mirror" and rushed into it.
In Liu Rui’s consciousness, what represents the Law of Life and Death is the mythological treasure from the Golden Maiden Sect, the "Life and Death Treasure Mirror." What she saw at this time was naturally in the form of a ’conceptual’ image, and her Yin God Divine Sense instantly fell into that mirror.
...
Above Xuan Gate City, purple-gold radiance surged like a tide, and strands of golden cloud light appeared like an ocean. With closed eyes, Zhang Jian felt a long-lost sense of relief after erasing that brand, as if he had finally escaped a kind of bondage and burden.
This is much like the birth of the All Heaven Star Soul in memory.
It was as if he was nurtured by heaven and earth, born following the Path of Heaven and Earth, a chosen one nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, born divine and wise.
A thick Pure Yang Golden Light emanated from his body, and at this moment, the solidified Yang Spirit was entwined with endless divine power.
Zhang Jian noticed that his state as the Sheji Emperor had not regressed at this moment. The surging Heaven and Earth Law came to him naturally under his control, and his own Primordial Spirit aura was pristine and imperishable.
This is the Imperishable Golden Body.
This realm belongs to the second stage of the Four Realms of the Primordial Spirit, which only the Golden Body possesses.
"It seems my accumulations were too profound, causing me to directly enter the Golden Body Realm after stepping into the Primordial Spirit!"
Zhang Jian’s gaze fluctuated.
After initially entering Pure Yang at the Primordial Spirit stage, one needs some time to adapt to the Heaven and Earth Law mastered by them, allowing them to enhance their Primordial Spirit Magical Power. Only then can they maintain the non-retreating state of the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect. If one can completely solidify it, ensuring that the Primordial Spirit state never retreats, it is called the Primordial Spirit Golden Body.
And in the Primordial Spirit Golden Body Realm, one’s Primordial Spirit also begins to turn from virtual to real, coalescing into form. Truly, like a cultivator, one can roam freely. Even if the flesh body collapses, one can still pursue the Path of Longevity with the Primordial Spirit Golden Body.
"It seems the previous accumulation was not in vain after all!"
Feeling this change, Zhang Jian’s eyes showed a trace of joy.
In a flash, he glanced again at Xuan Gate City. The solidified Primordial Spirit transformed into a stream of light and returned to the Zhang Family Mansion.
In the Zhang Family Mansion
The solidified Primordial Spirit returned, Zhang Jian opened his eyes and simply stood in place. Moments later, strands of golden light blossomed from his body, washing over every inch of his skin, radiant and glowing, like a Bright Pearl.
For some reason, Zhang Jian couldn’t help but recall a Zen poem.
"I have a Bright Pearl, long trapped by dust and toil. Now with the dust gone, the light emerges, illuminating countless blue mountains."
At this moment, he canceled his registration in the Death Registry, attained the Path of Longevity, precisely like a Treasure Pearl that has been washed clean of dust, flawless, and the essence of the Dao has finally manifested.
Strands of Pure Yang Golden Light circulated around him, integrating with the "Treasure Record" cultivation technique, merging into the Innate Dao Embryo Body, causing it to transform.
Zhang Jian noticed that the Primordial Spirit integrated into the Innate Dao Embryo Body, and the Dao Body did not obstruct his perception of the Heaven and Earth Law. Instead, it gave him a feeling of being empowered.
This is the marvel of the Innate Dao Body.
If it were another Primordial Spirit Master, after attaining the Dao, they would still need to spend a lot of time carving their own Dao Body, lest it becomes an obstacle to the Primordial Spirit Dao.
The marvel of the "Treasure Record" cultivation technique gradually manifested at this time.
Zhang Jian slightly comprehended it and gradually became adept at various Primordial Spirit Level Immortal Techniques.
In this respect, he starts at a higher point than other Primordial Spirit Masters.
At the same time, Zhang Jian gradually sensed the difference between the solidified Primordial Spirit and the solidified Yang Spirit.
Though both inherently represented Yang Spirit, previously, his solidified Yang Spirit was like a blank sheet of paper, upon which he could freely scribble. However, the solidified Primordial Spirit has determined his path.
He is no longer an ordinary mortal but a Sheji Emperor.
In truth, an emperor who has transformed their flesh into divinity.
However, many things that a true emperor possesses, he does not yet have.
First, the foundation of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and second, authority. But what is lacking is still lacking, though this essence of the Primordial Spirit has already surpassed many Primordial Spirit Masters. This is his capital for traversing heaven and earth.
Zhang Jian’s gaze pondered. To have reached this day, walking the path of the Sheji Emperor without any tangible foundation is somewhat surprising even to himself.
All of this stemmed from his extraordinary comprehension and the support of the Dragon Qi from the Red Dragon Pearl and the Tai Xiao Fiery Fire Pearl, enabling him to surpass the step of unifying the rivers and mountains.
However, crossing it now doesn’t mean it can always be lacking.
Since he is to walk the path of the Sheji Emperor, there are only two roads ahead. One is the path of the Ancient Saint King, seizing the world as the foundation of the Saint King.
One is to continue comprehending various Heaven and Earth Laws to perfect the Emperor’s Authority, achieving the great undertaking of an Innate Emperor.
It can actually be called a Divine Dao Emperor.
However, the Divine Dao Emperor, in Zhang Jian’s view, is too narrow.
Through the Great Dao Brand contained in the All Heaven Star Soul, he roamed the heavens and the earth, comprehending the changes of the Path of Heaven and Earth. He once saw powerful ancient gods and demons seize the authority of heaven and earth, possessing immense divine power, honored as the Authority Emperor.
Such beings wield numerous authorities, with overwhelming divine power, capable of shaking the Heaven and Earth Law and overturning heaven and earth, day and night with a single thought.
They are certainly not weaker than the Ancient Saint King.
By utilizing the Map of Mountains and Rivers, this grand lifebound immortal technique, Zhang Jian feels that when walking the path of the Ancient Saint King, he may be able to also walk the second path.
Yet whether the second path can be walked, Zhang Jian has not yet specifically inferred. This is still just a concept, but Zhang Jian thinks it’s worth a try or perhaps exploring within the sect.
