Only as several streams of Immortal Light soared up, beginning to mutually transform, fuse, and erupt as the most arcane Immortal Light shock since the First Layer of Heaven and Earth Creation, did the two Supremes slightly turn their gaze, diverting a portion of their power to begin suppressing it.
On the other side, likewise several strands of Buddhist chanting and Buddha light wove together, evolving into a vast Celestial Realm; a Golden Lotus blossomed within, upon whose lotus dais a Buddha sat cross‑legged, Mouth Containing Heavenly Decree, tongue blooming lotus flowers, possessing boundless majesty.
The two Supremes sensed the profundity of the Great Dao contained within the endless Buddha light, and with faint smiles, each allowed streams of Qingyun Immortal Light to blossom above their crowns.
This change immediately caused the divine might in the depths of the Jasper Pool to rise yet further.
Clearly, the many Daoist Monarchs participating in the Jade Pool Assembly also knew that they were the most crucial link in the opening of the Jasper Pool, yet they were not very willing to become this segment in which the Celestial Court tempers its Immortal Gods.
The feeling was akin to that of a chess piece.
Though they could also borrow the Jasper Pool to obtain some benefits.
But these many Daoist Monarchs, high in rank and authority, still did not like this sensation of being manipulated.
And it was the many contending, struggling "fishes" within the "Jasper Pool" who thus suffered.
Four or five grand currents of Heaven and Earth Immortal Light manifested; some displayed a Giant God opening the heavens, wielding talismans, seated in command over Heaven and Earth; some transformed into a Giant God piercing through the void of Heaven and Earth; others manifested the Western Paradise.
Or else they displayed the Water Element coursing, innumerable Peach Blossom petals drifting down.
Each vast anomaly contained "knowledge‑information" that abruptly surged, heavy as mountains, suffused with immeasurable Great Daoist Dao Rhyme radiating outward.
A portion of the fishes under these streams of Great Dao radiation at once began to aberrate; their bodies were either wreathed in golden light, or else a dense Divine Dao pressure surfaced around them, their forms beginning to bifurcate—yet the power they revealed grew stronger.
Some fishes were attempting to launch sneak attacks on those "pale‑whitened" fishes; facing such a situation, they were immediately caught off guard, assailed by one suddenly berserk fish after another.
Zhang Jian likewise perceived that the countless Great Dao information currents had abruptly turned violent and unstable, as though the core Dao Fruit Cloud was being forcibly contaminated beneath those rhythmless clouds of Qingyun, or under relic‑like golden light, stained with other "Dao Rhymes."
Those "Dao Rhymes" contained the wills of Daoist Monarch Level powerhouses.
To the many Immortal Gods, that was an unacceptable pollution, even a form of "conversion."
On the one hand they were to be converted, on the other they were being attacked by "companions" already polluted and converted; Zhang Jian immediately abandoned his target, circulating the Golden Lotus Hidden Breath Technique to conceal his divinity.
His figure seemed to vanish into the turbid currents of the Jasper Pool, his Escape Form leaving no trace.
Yet his Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit did not fall into disorder under the violent Great Dao Celestial Sound; he discovered that though his head spun and throbbed for a short while, the torrents of Great Dao information were too vast, causing errors in his calculations.
However, Zhang Jian’s Dao Heart resumed operation in an instant.
His Divine Body was like a sponge, with an extremely high upper limit.
Moreover, the essence of his Earth Emperor Primordial Spirit was incomparably immense; that boundless Path of Heaven and Earth information not only failed to affect him, he could instead glimpse much profundity within it.
Especially in that Heaven‑opening Giant God formed by the intertwining Immortal Lights, he vaguely seemed to see three grand and sacred branded forms circulating within.
One was pure and inactive, Supreme Forgetting Emotions, like the source‑stream of the Great Dao.
One was dignified and weighty, like the Heavenly Dao itself—Primordial, indifferent, eternal through the ages.
The other was youthful, hot‑blooded, keenly surging forth, bearing a visage of soaring to the clouds, "my will overturns Qiankun Heaven and Earth, to rescue the multitude of living beings."
The three Immortal Lights ceaselessly intertwined, and within them a vague, majestic phantom seal gradually formed, a seal that possessed the Immortal Light power to rule Heaven and Earth, suppress all things, and even rend through everything.
Upon beholding that Immortal Light seal, Zhang Jian could not help but recall that Innate Brand within the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven.
Within that Innate Dao Seal, he had seen countless scenes of the opening of Heaven and Earth.
And many Heaven and Earth Treasures besides.
This time, innumerable fragments combined, and he seemed to see that majestic seal continuously twist, gradually manifesting a Giant Egg.
Though it was merely a simple Giant Egg, Zhang Jian still seemed able to feel around the egg a grand, enduring power.
This power far surpassed the Immortal Light evolved through the combined efforts of the many Daoist Monarchs.
Zhang Jian knew this was likely one stage in the evolution of that Brand.
Nor did he need to brand the entire process; so long as he seized upon the evolution of a single stage, it would bring him immense gains.
That force of Chaos transformation immediately stimulated one of the Tier Five Immortal Techniques within his body.
Tier Five Immortal Technique: Innate Five Great Reincarnation Technique.
It was a Tier Five Immortal Technique he had derived from comprehending the evolution of the Innate Five Great Array in the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven; now, in the depths of his sea of consciousness, the Innate Five Great at this instant suddenly reversed into Chaos, likewise transforming into a Giant Egg that shrouded his whole body. The boundless Heaven and Earth Great Dao Dao Rhymes were, in a flash, absorbed by the egg and engraved within it.
This Giant Egg was not merely matchless in brute force, it was akin to Heaven and Earth itself, containing the subtlety of primordial Hongmeng’s opening and Chaos’s transformation.
It was somewhat more unique than simple Celestial Being transformation.
At this moment, outside the Jasper Pool, the many Daoist Monarchs and Immortal Gods also perceived the changes at the pool’s bottom; in particular, several Yaochi Daoist Monarchs were, intentionally or not, watching Zhang Jian’s actions.
Now, seeing Zhang Jian autonomously condense a Chaos Jade Cocoon, a hint of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
"Has he comprehended the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique?"
One Female Immortal’s eyes carried a slight tremor in their depths.
She was a clear‑featured Female Immortal, hair tied up in a special topknot; yet her bearing was incomparably beautiful. She was Jinhua Fairy, close attendant of the Jasper Pool.
