In the Yellow Court Blessed Land
Zhang Jian was enveloped in intense Pure Yang Golden Light, layers of Primordial Spirit Golden Light recklessly absorbing the Spirit of Qiankun from Daqian.
With the absence of the suppression from the Daqian Dragon Vein, Zhang Jian no longer needed to conceal himself. He could directly devour the Sheji Spiritual Mechanism without constraint, quickly replenishing his own foundation while filling up his Dao Body.
His Primordial Spirit Magical Power kept climbing.
A Merit Golden Light emerged behind his head.
Only after breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Realm could Zhang Jian finally gain insight into the ’Merit,’ a ’Marvel’ born from the hidden heavens and earth. Grand energies of Merit seemed to form a Merit Golden Wheel deep within his Primordial Spirit Golden Body, even nurturing a special Merit Space.
The sheer quantity was incredible.
Truly immeasurable Merit.
For now, Zhang Jian did not know how to use this immeasurable Merit, but he knew that it must be a significant resource for cultivators beyond the Primordial Spirit Master, perhaps with corresponding Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques for cultivation.
Rumble!
Deep in the Northern Land, majestic Divine Light intertwined, completely disrupting the Spiritual Field in the battlefield, turning it into a Spiritual Mechanism vacuum.
Zhang Jian watched from afar, his gaze fluctuating.
He had no plans to participate, as True Monarch Zhanmo had informed him in advance that he would seize the King Jun Golden Man for him, aiding his perfection of the Saint King Dao.
With True Monarch Zhanmo’s promise, Zhang Jian abandoned thoughts of taking risks.
Given True Monarch Zhanmo’s strength, Zhang Jian was very confident.
At this moment, Zhang Jian focused all his energy on integrating his ten Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques.
He needed to quickly merge them into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers was elevating to a Primordial Spirit Immortal Technique, initially forming and its battle prowess depending on Zhang Jian’s own tempering.
Moreover, Zhang Jian discovered that as he condensed his Primordial Spirit Golden Body, the upper limits of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, as well as other Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques, had opened again.
Currently, the Map of Mountains and Rivers was just at the Pure Yang Level.
He needed to find a way to elevate them all to the Golden Body Level, or even to the Creation Level.
With the strength of his tangible Primordial Spirit, he could wield Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques of the Creation Level after the upgrade.
Zhang Jian chose to cultivate in seclusion, continuously absorbing the Spirit of Qiankun, enhancing his Dao Practice and Technique Realm.
Meanwhile, the Golden Radiance Saint Mother was also reminding Liu Rui.
"Rui’Er, refrain from participating in the contention for the King Jun Golden Man for now. You have just stepped into the Primordial Spirit Realm, achieving only two Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques. You should seek to perfect your Primordial Spirit Magical Power and Primordial Spirit Dao Body, completing the transformation of your Dao Heart. As for the King Jun Golden Man, your master will plan for you, so you don’t need to worry!"
Liu Rui sensed the daunting waves at the center of the confrontation, her expression more solemn than ever, and looked worriedly at the Golden Radiance Saint Mother.
"Master, so many strong cultivators are attracted by this treasure, it seems hard for us to contend..."
The Golden Radiance Saint Mother smiled slightly at these words.
"No worries, your master has confidence!"
A hint of otherworldliness appeared in her eyes.
The situation had drawn more powerful cultivators than she anticipated, but with her Dao Practice, she had some confidence in seizing the Supreme Treasure.
Liu Rui pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Master, I would like to return to Daqian for a while!"
The Golden Radiance Saint Mother gazed at Liu Rui, her expression shifted, instantly guessing Liu Rui’s intention.
Indeed, Liu Rui raised her eyes and spoke. "Master, most of Daqian’s powerful cultivators are now in the heartland of Beichu. This is an opportunity for our Golden Maiden Sect. Some major civil and military officials of Daqian remain in Haojing City. If we can get them to ’endorse’ King Zheng ahead of time, it will be significantly beneficial for us to reclaim the realm!"
The Golden Radiance Saint Mother looked at Liu Rui and shook her head, saying, "Though most powerful cultivators have left Daqian, there are still Primordial Spirit Masters present. As I know, Scholar Zhang might still be in Haojing City."
Hearing this, Liu Rui’s expression became serious, and she said, "Therefore, I wish to ask Master to assist me in first subduing Scholar Zhang!"
The Golden Radiance Saint Mother frowned slightly at these words.
Liu Rui knew that the Golden Radiance Saint Mother might fear True Monarch Zhanmo and the Tongshan Dao Lineage behind him, so she said, "Master, this time I will personally take action. If that Scholar Zhang loses to me and other fellow Primordial Spirit Masters of the Golden Maiden Sect, I reckon the cultivators of the Tongshan Dao Lineage will have nothing to say!"
The Golden Radiance Saint Mother’s eyes landed on Liu Rui, showing slight emotions, and Liu Rui’s words were not without merit. The Tongshan Dao Lineage was imposing, but the Golden Maiden Sect also had allies.
If peers were outmatched, she did not fear True Monarch Zhanmo causing trouble.
However, relying solely on Liu Rui might not suffice.
In the eyes of the Golden Radiance Saint Mother, after all, Zhang Jian had ’early on’ broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
After some thought, the Golden Radiance Saint Mother said, "Later, I will let Zi Yuan accompany you, to aid you on your journey!"
She waved her sleeve, and two brilliant treasures appeared in her hand.
Two Primordial Spirit Treasures shimmered and rotated, emitting intense Spiritual Light.
"Both of these Primordial Spirit Treasures are of the Golden Body Level, crafted for you by high-ranking members of the Celestial Artifact Immortal Sect, and will surely enhance your abilities. As for this Ancient Talisman, it contains a portion of my Daoist Magical Power, along with a Creation Level Immortal Technique, which might have miraculous effects at crucial moments!"
With a wave of her hand, the three strands of Spiritual Light fell into Liu Rui’s hand.
Hearing this, Liu Rui’s eyes gleamed with intense joy as she looked at the three strands of Spiritual Light before her and immediately cupped her hands, saying, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing these treasures! I will not disappoint your great expectations!"
The Golden Radiance Saint Mother watched her, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes.
She had high hopes for Liu Rui’s future.
Liu Rui stored away her magical treasures and, with the Golden Radiance Saint Mother’s guidance, first perfected and familiarized her two Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques. She then transformed into an invisible light, heading towards Haojing City.
...
Zhang Family Mansion
Yellow Court Blessed Land
Zhang Jian quickly familiarized himself completely with the Map of Mountains and Rivers, his Lifebound Immortal Technique.
At this time, the Map of Mountains and Rivers rotated above his head, the nine-colored brilliance misty, seemingly containing cosmic transformations within, bizarre and colorful, with mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, the vast world seeming to be born and destroyed at a thought, endlessly cycling, as if falling into the map would lead to the dissolution of one’s Dao Body, cast into the Nine Netherworld, directly sent into reincarnation.
This treasure, under Zhang Jian’s relentless refinement, had already taken on a hint of mythical color.
Zhang Jian now focused all his energies on three Daoist Techniques: the "King’s Cauldron Demon-Vanquishing Secret Record," the "Little All Heavens Reincarnation Law Ban," and the "Chaotic Star Sword Technique." These were the only techniques he was confident in upgrading to the Golden Body Level, and even to the Creation Level.
Zhang Jian thought for a moment and decided to focus on the "King’s Cauldron Demon-Vanquishing Secret Record" and the "Little All Heavens Reincarnation Law Ban," as these two techniques had existing inheritances without needing his inference, thus saving effort.
Moreover, the Map of Mountains and Rivers desired to ascend to the Golden Body Level, requiring elevation starting as the core from the "King’s Cauldron Demon-Vanquishing Secret Record."
Just when Zhang Jian was gradually immersed in his practice, he suddenly opened his eyes, seeing a faint glow appearing on the East Emperor’s Treasure Mirror deep within his palm.
Seeing this, his expression shifted, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
