This is a very unique innate divine spring, a heaven and earth treasure level divine spring.
Zhang Jian recognized it because there are rumors in the Penglai Celestial Realm about a similar innate divine spring, regarded as the source of countless immortal roots, praised by innumerable immortal gods.
In terms of rank, this immortal spring is no lower than the Five Elements Jade Liquid Spring Eye at the entrance of the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor’s Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven.
At this moment, as Zhang Jian looked around, there originally should have been numerous heaven and earth spirit roots flourishing above the Jade Pool, but they had all withered, leaving only some remnants.
"What has happened to the ancestral land to reduce it to this state?"
The Lotus Fairy, gazing at the scene, appeared both puzzled and uncertain.
"Did you awaken here, Fellow Daoist Lianhua?"
Zhang Jian asked with slight surprise.
Hearing this, the Lotus Fairy replied.
"Not exactly, but many of our elders were nurtured and born here, and even listened to Tao here!"
"This is the holy land for all immortals of the Qinglian Race!"
She took a step forward, examining the surroundings, her expression growing increasingly astonished.
"Why do these immortal seeds seem to have been gnawed away unto death?"
Upon hearing this, a faint light flickered in Zhang Jian’s eyes.
Turning to the side, chaos mist swirled around the celestial palace, where there were still many celestial palaces.
But Zhang Jian’s focus was on the Daoist palace before him.
He could tell that the Daoist Palace was where the Lotus King Ancestor usually cultivated in seclusion.
Following the jade tiers, Zhang Jian saw another jade pool that seemed embedded beside the jade steps, where light shimmered within the pool, albeit murky.
Moreover, the light within the pool had already reached the bottom.
Just one glance left Zhang Jian slightly surprised.
His innate primordial spirit clearly sensed this jade pool was linked to the Heaven and Earth Origin of the Jade Glaze World.
The state within seemed to mirror the dire conditions of the Jade Glaze World.
Surely, the Jade Glaze Realm was in the same dire straits as depicted in the pool, exhausting its resources.
"This should be a heaven and earth source pool!"
Zhang Jian thought silently.
When the Lotus King Ancestor was alive, he used this place as a central hub to govern the Jade Glaze Realm.
Zhang Jian felt that refining this pool could lead to further control over the heaven and earth Dao laws of the Jade Glaze Realm, perhaps even gaining sovereignty over it.
Yet it was evidently a huge pitfall.
Calamities were erupting throughout the world, with countless resentful fiends accumulating. Whosoever refined it would bear the blame.
Thinking further, Zhang Jian’s eyes moved, his hand instantly summoning an exquisitely vibrant cyan lotus.
Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell.
He sent the Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell into the pool, clearing the paths of reincarnation, bringing redemption.
The Lotus Fairy stood by, uncertain of Zhang Jian’s actions, but felt he wouldn’t refine the origin of the Jade Glaze Realm at such a time.
Zhang Jian continued toward the celestial palace, simultaneously searching for the stone lotus.
The celestial palace lacked any dharma ban, yet was utterly empty, as if pillaged by bandits.
"How could it be like this!"
Witnessing this, the Lotus Fairy’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She believed only she knew the secret of treasure refining from the Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map, and that Xiaoyao Celestial Venerable had never entered before.
If he could enter, the Xiaoyao Celestial Venerable could simply refine the heaven and earth source pool to seize control, with no need to scheme against the Jade Glaze Realm’s origin.
Zhang Jian’s vast innate primordial spirit had already scanned this celestial palace and others nearby.
These celestial palaces were already emptied by others.
Yet some overlooked items remained.
The intruder wasn’t very discerning!
Zhang Xian looked toward the dome of the celestial palace, waved his hand, and an immortal light rushed upward, producing a jade pearl in an instant.
The jade pearl was rich with creation essence qi, filled with intense vitality.
This was an immortal lotus seed.
Heaven and Earth Immortal Root!
"Ancestral Lotus Seed!"
The Lotus Fairy looked at the jade pearl, a trace of excitement in her eyes.
She could clearly sense that the innate origin nurtured within the depths of the Immortal Lotus was exceptionally pure, even far surpassing her own body, rich with abundant vitality.
Clearly, it was still capable of taking root and sprouting.
If this treasure could fall into her hands, combined with her Cyan Lotus race’s immortal techniques, the benefits would be even greater.
Zhang Jian also saw some of the mystery of this treasure and smiled slightly.
"Indeed, a good thing!"
He then directly stored it within the Mountain and River Space.
If a Heaven and Earth Treasure Level Immortal Root were cultivated, it would be enough to become the supreme treasure of his Immortal Mansion.
It could greatly enhance the prestige of his Ling Yuan Emperor’s Mansion.
Besides that, Zhang Jian also took a nearby Everlasting Lamp.
It was a jade-green Jade Lotus Palace Lamp, containing a unique layer of Innate Divine Flame with a purification power that could incinerate anything extraneous.
It should be the Duality Jade Light Divine Flame among the Innate Divine Flames.
At this moment, Zhang Jian glanced over, and as for the whereabouts of the Stone Lotus, he had already vaguely perceived it.
Then he looked around and said calmly.
"You’ve been secretly watching for quite a while, haven’t you? How long do you still want to watch?"
Hearing Zhang Jian’s words, the Lotus Fairy, who had walked over, suddenly had a change in expression, her eyes scanning around.
Suddenly, in her mind, images of the withered Immortal Lotus in the pool appeared, and her eyebrows knitted as she sharply gazed into the void.
At this moment, beneath the land of the Immortal Island.
A middle-aged man in a green robe, somewhat wretched, was lying on a chair with his legs crossed.
In front of him stood a Copper Mirror, his eyes leisurely watching the two people in the Immortal Palace.
At this moment, he casually retrieved a Jade Pearl from the dome of the Immortal Palace, startling him immediately.
"Wow, there’s actually a treasure left behind! I was too careless, these two have gotten the advantage!"
His eyes rolled around, showing some regret.
There was also a glint of fierceness in his eyes.
But at this moment, Zhang Jian’s voice unexpectedly reached his ears through the Immortal Mirror, startling him, and his eyes glanced uncertainly into the depths of the Immortal Mirror.
The figure in purple within the Immortal Realm had already turned around, his gaze seeming to pierce through the Immortal Mirror and fall upon the middle-aged man in green.
This gaze came straight at him, instantly making the middle-aged man in green shiver.
He hurriedly sealed off the Immortal Mirror’s light, panic in his eyes.
Celestial Gods with such abilities he had only encountered in inherited memories, certainly not foes he could resist!
A flash of ferocity crossed his eyes, and in an instant, a cyan Immortal Light around him engulfed the many belongings in his cave mansion, preparing to dive into the Immortal Treasure space before him, in an attempt to leave this Immortal Island.
This rascal was exceedingly timid; the moment he sensed danger, he prepared to flee.
The Immortal Mirror transformed into a stream of light, about to fly out of the Immortal Island, but in an instant, it was ensnared by a Five-Colored Divine Light covering the five extremes of the world, shooting towards a palm.
In the Immortal Mirror space, the green-robed Great Demon watched this scene, his expression changing dramatically, cursing in frustration.
"You, Immortal, are truly unreasonable. I’ve already ceded the Lotus King Immortal Palace to you, yet you still seek trouble with me. Do you take me for someone to be trifled with?"
The demon Qi around him surged, and with a wave of his hand, several powerful Immortal Lights flew forth.
He struck out with several Great Power Immortal Treasures.
This scene even made the Lotus Fairy shake her head.
This green-robed monster’s origin was unknown; he occupied the Lotus King Palace and plundered many treasures from the Daoist Palace, but his Dao Practice was only at the True Immortal level. The many Immortal Treasures within hadn’t been refined, leaving him to only use brute force.
Truly a waste of resources!
Indeed, as the Five-Colored Divine Light flashed, many Immortal Treasures were collected, including the Immortal Mirror the green-robed Great Demon inhabited, which was drawn into Zhang Jian’s Five-Colored Divine Light and fell into his palm.
Casually shaking it, a massive cyan-skinned toad fell out from the Immortal Mirror.
Upon being forced back to its original form, the human-sized cyan-skinned toad was filled with terror.
Its appearance was rather extraordinary, resembling a jade and glazed glass, lacking the grotesque nature of ordinary toads, with a somewhat silly and cute demeanor.
Its skin bore many lifelike Innate Dao Patterns, containing exceptionally mysterious power.
Zhang Jian looked him up and down, scoffing.
"You greedy old toad, who knows how you slipped in, eating so many Immortal Seeds and looting all the treasures in the Immortal Palace, do you think I will spare you? Quickly spit out all the treasures from the Immortal Palace, or beware of your life!"
Saying this, without waiting for a response from the now-bloodline-mutated Cyan Toad, he casually grabbed and pulled out a handful of objects from the Cyan Toad’s body.
Among them, a peculiar Third Grade Stone Lotus instantly fell into Zhang Jian’s eyes.
Evidently, it should be his target!
