"It seems that I still need to pass the eighth trial!"
A flicker of emotion appeared in his eyes; by passing the eighth trial, he could still have three hundred years.
With these three hundred years, it would be enough for him to condense the Earth Emperor Treasure Wheel and achieve the Ancestral Qi Dao Fruit.
In fact, Zhang Jian knew that becoming an Innate Divine was inevitable.
He had gained so much from the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven: the Dao Qi Network, Ancestor Qi Wheel, Supreme Purple Qi, and Innate Brand; it had already completed everything a divine being should have.
The Ancestral Qi profoundness contained in this Dao Realm was still of crucial importance to him.
It’s akin to adding the final touch to a masterpiece.
Without such an opportunity, who knows how many years he would have wasted.
This is the grand fortune of the Innate Gods.
Like a snowball, the stronger the beginning, the stronger it becomes later.
The eighth stone tower was entirely enveloped in the profoundness of Ancestral Qi, like a blazing sun surrounded by Ancestral Qi. Zhang Jian stepped into it.
However, the scene before him made Zhang Jian slightly frown.
In the center of the stone tower, there were three special thrones, each with a powerful figure wearing a mask sitting upon them.
The heads of these three powerful figures emanated intense Divine Light, intertwining into Dao Fruit Qingyun.
These were three guardians at the Taiyi Great Perfection Realm.
This was only the first wave of attacks among the five waves of this trial.
Zhang Jian’s eyes showed a hint of solemnity.
At this moment, streams of light came shooting through the void, forming lines of text before his eyes.
Zhang Jian’s eyes fell upon them.
Before him appeared a series of fragile Earth Altars.
These Earth Altars were like fragile porcelain, filled with countless backlashes of Heaven and Earth Dao.
To pass this trial, he not only had to withstand the five external waves of attacks but also protect these fragile Earth Altars and successfully repair them within three hundred years.
He only had one chance to attempt this trial.
Seeing this, he knew he would have to use all his resources.
With a thought, a nine-colored Divine Light swept through the depths of the stone tower space.
The Lifebound Immortal Technique of Mountains and Rivers.
As the map appeared, it instantly swept and enveloped Heaven and Earth. Within this stone tower space, he was the absolute sovereign.
No matter how many Immortal Gods at the Taiyi Great Perfection Realm came, he could defeat them one by one.
Under the nine-colored Divine Light, the three powerful figures at the Taiyi Great Perfection Realm were still manifest, immediately suppressed by the suppressive force nurtured within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, as if the Great Dao Laws of Heaven and Earth condensed into Divine Mountains, pressing the three Immortal Gods into the depths of the universe void.
But the second wave of attacks arrived shortly after.
The depths of the void revealed countless scenes of great destruction, like the collapse of all things, where Heaven and Earth fell into an apocalypse, even the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws circulating deep within were gradually dying, collapsing, tending towards nothingness.
This gradually affected the power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
And to make matters worse, with the collapse of Heaven and Earth and the extinction of all things, countless Outer Heaven Demons came roaring in, with rolling demonic sounds, seemingly demonizing the world.
Countless dark light shrouded this world, the light in the world was gradually disappearing, only unforeseeable darkness surged, making Zhang Jian’s Innate Primordial Spirit feel a terrifying sense of defilement.
This intense sense of tearing had a great restraining effect on field-control Immortal Techniques.
Zhang Jian felt that the Dao Fruit Immortal Light was constantly spilling out, and he had to use vast Dao Practice to suppress the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The weakness of this Lifebound Immortal Technique appeared at this moment.
He was not Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, his true form was Zhang Jian himself, not something else.
If he encountered unstoppable external forces, it would ultimately be very strenuous.
However, fortunately, the many Heaven and Earth Treasures on Zhang Jian’s body made up for this defect.
As Zhang Jian thought, the many Heaven and Earth Treasures within the Map of Mountains and Rivers began to unleash their might.
The Heart of the Dimension, Reincarnation Divine Stone, Primordial Life and Death Pearl, Innate Taiyin Law Dao Seed, each Heaven and Earth Treasure released mighty power from their depths, even if the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws were destroyed, they still couldn’t tear apart the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers in the depths of his brow was also emitting its own Divine Power.
Zhang Jian did not use the Eternal Immortal Treasure or Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.
That would seem too domineering...
Instead, Zhang Jian took this opportunity to operate the Mediation Creation Technique, dropping Divine Lights into the Earth Altars at his feet, fully repairing these fragile Earth Altars.
After the apocalyptic scenes passed, what followed was a scene of a small-scale Outer World Demon God Legion assault, the difficulty increased further, but under the silent coverage of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the numerous Outer World Demon God Legions were either swept away by a space-time storm or washed away by star rivers and flames, disappearing completely.
Inside the Pure Yang Immortal Hall, among the various Daoist Monarchs, a peculiar silence ensued.
After Zhang Jian revealed the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the various Daoist Monarchs watched for a long time, each frowning slightly.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers, a Supreme Treasure in myth, unheard of by other Immortal Gods, but how could the various Daoist Monarchs of the Taiqing Celestial Lineage not recognize it?
They simply didn’t believe it was a coincidence.
Where in the world are there so many coincidental things?
Daoist Monarch Ningyang hesitated slightly before speaking to King Yu.
"Your Majesty, I did not expect the Ling Yuan Emperor to have received the inheritance from the Holy Mother of the Brocade Palace, truly a deep blessing!"
King Yu had a peculiar expression in his eyes and spoke.
"It was merely an opportunity, Ah Yu also coincidentally comprehended this Divine Profound Immortal Technique!"
He explained, not daring to offend the Holy Mother of the Brocade Palace.
Moreover, Zhang Jian had confessed to him about comprehending this Lifebound Immortal Technique, saying it was an unexpected comprehension brought about by opportunity.
The other Daoist Monarchs who heard this in their ears merely took it as King Yu admitting it between the lines.
A coincidence?
It was because the Holy Mother of the Brocade Palace did not allow it to be spread, nor used the name of the Brocade Palace, which was also very normal.
At this moment, Zhang Jian’s status in the hearts of the Daoist Monarchs rose rapidly.
Moreover, the Daoist Monarchs could see that the charm of the Nine-Colored Divine Map was already present, with a grand Divine Power within, once it achieved Great Success, it might be able to show that Holy Artifact’s Divine Power again.
...
Within the eighth trial, Zhang Jian operated streams of Immortal Light, reducing the Demon Gods of the Outer World Demon God Legions to ashes, and passed the trial’s examination after more than a century of repairs.
Outside the eighth trial, as he emerged, his expression held a certain solemnity.
He had nearly used all his trump cards.
But it was all worth it.
These trump cards would soon be replaced by new ones.
The exposure was also worthwhile!
Looking at the ninth stone tower, glowing like a golden blazing sun, a ripple appeared in Zhang Jian’s eyes, he walked to a river of Ancestral Qi beside the ninth stone tower and sat quietly.
Here, he was closest to the Ancestor Qi Wheel above, the Ancestral Qi Essence exceptionally intense.
Without further hesitation, Zhang Jian’s figure transformed into a massive vortex, beginning to merge the descending Ancestral Qi Essence, while harmonizing the Earth Emperor Treasure Wheel deep within the Innate Primordial Spirit.
The Earth Emperor Treasure Wheel manifested, with layers of intense purple-yellow Divine Light flowing out, its essence extremely close to the Earth-Attribute Ancestral Qi Dao Wheel above, yet fundamentally distinct within.
It adhered to the earth, not only suppressing the Earth-Attribute Network but also exerting sovereignty over the Nine Netherworld, Sheji, and other Dao Qi Networks.
This was a special, new essence of Ancestral Qi.
In the Earth Emperor Treasure Wheel, special purple-yellow dragon-shaped Great Dao Marks formed by countless Heaven and Earth Dao Patterns were slowly condensing, gradually taking shape.
Two hundred years passed quietly.
On the other side, Water Virtue Star Monarch and Water Official Emperor had already entered the ninth trial.
These two Immortal Gods entered the ninth trial almost simultaneously as Zhang Jian.
The Water Virtue Star Monarch was slightly faster.
At this moment, within the Luansheng Kunyue Dao Realm, countless Innate Ancestral Qi Essences formed a vortex, merging into Zhang Jian’s body, turning into a giant egg around him, with faint purple Qi emanating from within.
Each wisp of purple Qi emanating seemed to weigh heavily on the world, and even the Law Light Path and Dao Qi Network in Heaven and Earth were subtly trembling.
Even those in the Pure Yang Immortal Hall, the various Immortal Gods could feel a grand immense pressure steadily increasing.
That day, the expressions of the Immortals suddenly changed, noticing that within the Donghua Realm, boundless Heaven and Earth Laws and endless Dao Qi Network were suddenly shaking intensely, and even the Celestial Dao Light Wheel in the center had a slight hesitation, grand Divine Power released from the Innate Dao Realm, endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism surged, rushing out of the Donghua Realm, flowing towards the ten directions of Heaven and Earth, even affecting the depths of the Celestial Realm dimension...
