Chapter 1653 Harvest from the Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits
Zhang Xuan seized this fleeting opportunity, his gaze sharp as lightning, locking onto the Emperor River Cocoon in the center of the lake, which was trembling slightly due to the great battle outside.
"Great Summoning Spell, Gate of the Covenant with the Heavens!"
He pointed his fingers like a sword at Dijiang Guangjian.
Behind him, on the Tree of Rules, the summoning branch shone brightly, and a portal of light, exuding the aura of a forced contract, opened above the cocoon of light!
Countless golden chains formed from the laws of summoning descended from the portal, instantly binding Dijiang's cocoon of light!
The cocoon of light struggled violently, emitting a tender yet indomitable roar, causing the chaotic air currents to churn.
The three-headed guardian spirit sighed and merged directly into Dijiang's cocoon of light.
Just as the three guardian spirits transformed into three streams of light and actively merged into the violently struggling Emperor Jiang cocoon.
"boom!!!"
A chaotic surge suddenly erupted from the core of the entire Spirit Blood Lake!
The blood of countless true spirits boiled, and they paid homage to the birth of the king!
The chaotic cocoon of light no longer slowly expanded, but throbbed wildly. With each contraction and expansion, it devoured a massive amount of spiritual blood essence and the pure source of laws transformed from the three guardian spirits.
Zhang Xuan's gaze was intense as he focused all his efforts on maintaining the stability of the Gate of the Covenant of All Heavens, his mind closely connected with the entire Great Array of Returning to the Void, ready for battle.
He could sense that a transformation was taking place inside the cocoon of light!
"Click..."
With a crisp sound, a tiny crack appeared on the chaotic cocoon of light.
A dazzling divine light shone through the crack. The light was not a single color, but contained the boundless chaotic meaning of earth, water, fire, wind, time, space and time!
Then came the second, the third crack...
The entire cocoon of light was instantly covered with countless cracks!
"Roar--"
A long cry, unlike any previous roar of a true spirit, emanated from the soon-to-break cocoon of light.
Although the long chant was not loud, it carried an ancient majesty that established the foundation of earth, water, fire, and wind!
Wherever the sound passed, the boiling surface of the spirit blood lake instantly calmed down, and the surging chaotic air became docile.
Even the summoning law chains that Zhang Xuan lowered with the Gate of All Heavens Contract hummed under the strain!
"Oh!"
The cocoon of light exploded completely, transforming into billions of strands of pure chaotic energy, which were then swallowed whole by the newly born being at its center.
The next moment, all the strange lights and phenomena disappeared.
Zhang Xuan held his breath, activated his Heavenly Pivot Eye to its fullest extent, and saw the newborn being clearly.
It was a true spirit with a strange and perfect form.
It is shaped like a yellow sac, red like cinnabar fire, and has six legs and four wings.
Its body is not made of flesh and blood, but is composed of endless chaotic energy and primordial Dao patterns.
The skin has a noble dark gold color, naturally engraved with ancient and profound Dao patterns.
Four enormous fleshy wings flapped gently, not stirring up a gale, but causing the surrounding spatial structure to ripple.
Six sturdy hooves tread on the void, as steady as an ancient divine mountain.
The supreme true spirit—Dijiang—has been born!
It is not a phantom, nor a descendant of a mixed bloodline of a true spirit, but a pure, ancient, and noble top-grade true spirit cub!
Although the pressure emanating from it was still restrained due to its nascent stage, the essential status that surpassed all living beings caused the illusory Great Dao Rule Authority Tree behind Zhang Xuan to emit a reverent hum!
Dijiang looked at Zhang Xuan.
A chaotic vortex penetrated his physical body and soul, directly gazing into his deepest origin.
A mixture of newfound curiosity and a trace of displeasure stemming from being bound by the chains of the contract enveloped Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan was deeply shaken, but his resolve remained firm, and he did not back down.
He knew this was the most crucial moment!
He took a deep breath, no longer relying solely on the forceful contract of the Great Summoning Spell, but instead gently yet firmly transmitting his own divine sense.
At the same time, he spoke loudly, and his voice, transmitted through divine thought, transformed into the Great Dao's imperial pronouncements that Dijiang could understand.
“I am not a master of slavery, but a guide.”
"You were born from the blessings of the immortals and the essence of all living beings, and you bear the esteemed name of Emperor Jiang. You should know your origins and understand the path ahead."
"My Way encompasses all laws, governs the void, and seeks transcendence! It can help you wash away ignorance, regain control of time and space, and once again prove the Great Dao of Chaos!"
"Today, this is not a contract between master and servant, but a covenant to walk together on the great path!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xuan voluntarily relaxed some of the binding force of the Gate of the Covenant.
He demonstrated his sincerity and vision, and even more so, his potential and strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with the supreme true spirit!
The young Dijiang rippled slightly, and the displeasure in its will gradually dissipated, replaced by scrutiny and a hint of approval.
It sensed the tree of authority on Zhang Xuan that transcended the ordinary path, and understood the invitation to "walk together on the path of the Great Dao".
For an entity like it, forced enslavement is a desecration of its bloodline and status; only potential that is equal to or even surpasses it can win its approval.
"Om-"
Dijiang emitted a pleasant hum.
It no longer resisted, but instead actively dispersed a wisp of its own primordial essence, which gently touched and merged with Zhang Xuan's divine soul essence along the summoning law.
A symbiotic bond far stronger than a forced contract was established between Zhang Xuan and the supreme true spirit Dijiang.
The next moment, Dijiang flapped its four wings, and its huge body shrank in the chaotic airflow, turning into a stream of light that entered Zhang Xuan's brow and finally hovered above the trunk of his illusory tree of the Great Dao's rules and authority.
The True Demon Body Dharma Form, the Fallen Golden Crow Phenomenon, and the Chaos Emperor Jiang—these three main elements stand side by side, becoming part of his power.
Dijiang also fell into a deep slumber once again.
With Dijiang subdued, the Spirit Blood Lake stabilized completely, free from the interference of a violent will.
Zhang Xuan landed on the immortal gold in the center of the Spirit Blood Lake, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.
This large piece of immortal gold, about the size of a millstone, was the nourishment for the growth of Emperor Jiang's true spirit.
Now that he has subdued Dijiang, this large piece of immortal gold naturally belongs to him.
He reached out and put the piece of immortal gold into his storage ring.
Besides the immortal gold, the lake also contains the blood of the true spirit's origin and broken inheritances, and has nurtured a large number of true spirit cubs.
"Such a treasure should rightfully be mine!"
Without further hesitation, he activated the Myriad Manifestations Return to Nothingness Formation with all his might.
The entire Spirit Blood Lake seemed to come alive, with a huge whirlpool rising on the surface. Countless colorful True Spirit Blood surged towards Zhang Xuan's location like rivers flowing into the sea!
He summoned countless storage containers that he had prepared beforehand, and even directly used the Daoist essence from the side branch of the Primordial Qi Sea to condense a spatial pocket, frantically collecting them.
The blood of ordinary true spirits was like the Yangtze River, which he collected in large quantities, the amount of which was incalculable, accumulating to millions of drops in an instant!
Although these have no specific lineage, they possess immense energy and are priceless treasures, whether used to feed Dijiang, temper the body, or as top-grade auxiliary materials for alchemy and weapon crafting!
The high-level True Spirit Blood contained a trace of the True Spirit's original will and the blood of a broken inheritance. Zhang Xuan used his teleportation ability, combined with the Heavenly Pivot Eye, to accurately capture it.
Xuanwu, Baihu, Kunpeng... all kinds of powerful true spirit blood that only appeared in legends were captured by him one by one!
He collected thousands of drops of this type of blood!
Every drop is priceless, enough to cause a bloodbath in the outside world!
