Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Jian’s mind, but he naturally wouldn’t give up this opportunity.
So far, there’s been no hearsay of any catastrophe resulting from the Jasper Pool Feast.
Since there’s no risk to his life, he doesn’t mind striving for some benefits.
Moreover, Zhang Jian clearly heard earlier that if he makes it to the top ten, he can propose a condition to the Yaochi Saint Mother at his discretion.
Perhaps he could take this opportunity to directly spread the Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi across the Celestial Court governing various Celestial Realm dimensions, and even in the Outer Worlds.
At this moment, Zhang Jian noticed that after hearing Yaochi Saint Mother’s voice, a few Immortal Gods voluntarily withdrew, but they were indeed in the minority.
Seeing the Immortal Gods setting their minds, he then saw the path-breaking sound in the depths of the vast ’lake’ resurface.
At first, many path-breaking sounds descended, akin to the sounds of heaven to the many ’fish’ in the lake. After absorbing many path-breaking sounds, the brilliance emitted by many ’fish’ grew increasingly clear and bright, evidently gaining insights from the numerous path-breaking sounds.
Zhang Jian was also one of the quietly thriving ’schools of fish’.
The many path-breaking sounds flowed in, containing various kinds of Ancestral Qi mysteries. While he couldn’t directly absorb them to boost his Dao practice, he could integrate them into the numerous Tier Five Immortal Techniques he mastered.
The Tier Five Immortal Techniques, enriched with the foundation of Ancestral Qi, evolved towards ’Daoist Techniques’, continuously nourishing the Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit, allowing it to grow stronger.
Zhang Jian basked in it, his Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit having immense growth potential, absorbing the profound mysteries of the Heavenly and Earthly Dao Laws like a dried sponge.
These evolutions of Tier Five Immortal Techniques also, in turn, nourished his Lifebound Immortal Technique of Mountains and Rivers, subsequently enhancing his foundation.
Zhang Jian enjoyed being in this state, yet many began to gradually feel a tremendous impact, making it uncomfortable.
Some Immortal Gods slowly felt that their Dao Heart and Primordial Spirit’s capacity to embrace the Dao charm was reaching its limit.
As more and more profound mysteries of the Heavenly and Earthly Dao Laws surged in, they were like a demonic sound ringing in their ears.
They gradually became burdens in the Primordial Spirit, Dao Heart, and Dao Fruit.
Continuing to listen to the Dao, these law streams poured into the Dao Fruit like torrents, threatening its stability with the danger of collapse.
And there was no way to avoid it.
The penetrating ability of hundreds of sound waves was extremely strong; no matter how profound their Dao practice, they couldn’t avoid it.
At this time, Zhang Jian still had strength left and sensed this scene: the slightly weaker Taiyi Celestial Immortals, those at the Taiyi True Number Level Immortal Gods, were like fragile Dao Qi networks.
Countless Heavenly Dao patterns covered them, and the Dao Qi network with the Dao Fruit as the core began to collapse.
This affected the core Dao Fruit.
The fish gradually went crazy, frantically swimming in the water, leading to their downfall.
However, Zhang Jian saw some of the larger fish instantly advancing fiercely and directly devouring those frenzied ’small fish’.
With each one devoured, their glow noticeably brightened.
"They can even devour?"
Zhang Jian felt astonished when he perceived this scene.
At this moment, a pitch-black giant carp swam by beside him.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what are you hesitating for? This is a great chance for us to gain an early lead!"
That was the Black Dragon God Lingze Dragon Monarch!
He continued speaking.
"Rest assured, the appearance of these swimming fish is simulated by the Jasper Pool Sacred Land. Devouring them has no loss to the Immortal Gods, but we can acquire a portion of pure Soul Origin, and there’s a chance to glimpse part of the pure Dao Qi Law mysteries within. This is the Dao Qi Origin Law directly filtered by the Jasper Pool Sacred Land, greatly beneficial for us!"
Zhang Jian glanced at this Black Dragon God, noticing his apparent willingness to befriend him.
This made him feel a bit strange.
But he didn’t ponder much on it.
As a being of Divine Body, he had many Immortal Gods willing to befriend him.
Many enemies, but many friends as well.
"Thank you, Dragon Monarch!"
Zhang Jian’s figure instantly turned into a stream of light, locking onto a nearby multicolored small fish struggling in a semi-mad state and swallowing it in one gulp.
Having swallowed it, Zhang Jian immediately felt a surge of pure Soul Origin power being absorbed by his Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit, with no anomaly, directly causing the form of his manifested red dragon fish to grow several sizes. Simultaneously, a pure Dao Qi Law mystery permeated his Primordial Spirit’s depths.
It was an Earth Attribute Dao Qi Law.
This Earth Attribute Law was exceedingly sincere, majestic as a mountain.
It appeared to be an Earth Attribute Star Lord, or perhaps a Star Lord from the Mountain God lineage.
While Zhang Jian had comprehended most of this Earth Attribute Dao Qi Law’s mysteries, many ingenious ideas within still seemed valuable to him.
"The Jasper Pool is indeed a good place!"
Zhang Jian couldn’t help but secretly think to himself.
Swallowing a fish bolstered his Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi and aided the evolution of his Ancestral Qi Dao Fruit significantly. By devouring more, wouldn’t it save me a lot of time?
Zhang Jian suddenly felt deeply intrigued and once again targeted a helpless fish in the distance, quietly sneaking towards it.
Zhang Jian discovered that his Innate Divine Power Golden Lotus Hidden Breath Technique could also be used in such an environment.
...
Beside the Jasper Pool, with its true opening, layers of invisible Heaven and Earth Dao patterns flowed out, like torrents pouring forth.
At this moment, the Yaochi Daoist Monarchs and some accompanying Female Immortals appeared by the Jasper Pool to enjoy the spectacle.
