Chapter 1674 Absorbing Vitality
"What should I do? It will just be a waste of energy if we continue like this!"

Pangu, transformed from Phoenix Ancestor, spoke.

"You are right. The Tongtian Jianmu has endless vitality. We will never be able to exhaust its vitality. But if we don't exhaust the vitality of Jianmu, we will not be able to save Zulong!"

Emperor Ji Tian secretly had the idea of ​​retreating, because everything in the East was empty and isolated from the outside world. He didn't know that his old nest, Shouyang Mountain, had been destroyed by Emperor Jun, and more than five trillion of the tens of trillions of human beings in the heavens had died.

If he knew this, he would definitely leave immediately. Compared to rescuing the Ancestral Dragon, the human race in the heavens is his real foundation.

"Not good! The ban outside seems to be evolving again!"

At this moment, Pan Zu suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone immediately turned around and saw that the Dongji Gate through which they came had changed.

The Heavenly Dao seal that was previously broken by Zhang Qian is slowly recovering. If it continues like this, it will be completely restored and then seal everyone in the East Pole.

"There is only one way to go now!"

Zhang Qian said in a serious tone: "No matter whether it is the changes in Jianmu or the Dongji Gate, they are all caused by Hongjun. If we don't defeat him, we will have no hope of rescuing Zulong. Stop and prepare to go out and deal with Hongjun!"

Zhang Qian's decision was decisive. If they still wanted to rescue Zulong now, the only way was to defeat Hongjun. Otherwise, with Hongjun's support in secret, they would never be able to rescue Zulong.

"This is the only way!"

Zhulong agreed reluctantly, and everyone flew towards the Dongji Gate behind.

Zulong was helpless and his hatred for Hongjun deepened.

When everyone returned to the gate of the Eastern Land, they saw at a glance that the dense Taoist patterns on it were constantly changing.

"Hmph! Open it for me!"

Zhang Qian snorted coldly, and the Yin-Yang Grinder reappeared. The divine light of annihilation shone, breaking the Heavenly Dao ban that had been restored a lot. The divine light of annihilation reversed existence and non-existence, and everyone flew out quickly.

After everyone had left the Dongji area, Zhang Qian did not rush out, but instead sacrificed the Chaos Orb. The Chaos Orb circulated, bursting out with terrifying power fluctuations.

“Tongtian Jianmu? It’s like a pillow for me when I feel sleepy. I was just worrying about how to speed up the creation of the twelve innate gods and demons. Since Tongtian Jianmu contains endless power of creation and vitality, wouldn’t it be a waste if I didn’t take it?”

With a curl of his lips, he turned around and flew towards the place where the Ancestral Dragon was sealed.

After a while, he returned to the vicinity of the giant pillar where the Ancestral Dragon was.

"Why are you back again?"

Zulong was a little puzzled.

Zhang Qian did not answer, but stared at the giant pillar that bound the Ancestral Dragon. He raised his hand and used the Yin-Yang Grinder to create a divine light of annihilation, which annihilated countless vines and branches on the periphery into nothingness.

Boom!
The next moment, the divine light of annihilation hit the giant pillar, and the branch of Jianmu shook slightly. Then a point of the Heavenly Dao forbidden pattern was destroyed, revealing the Jianmu branch with a bright green light underneath.

At the same time, the vast vitality of creation surged out and began to restore the damaged Dao patterns.

The Chaos Pearl moved and flew over with a whoosh, hitting right on the gap in the Dao pattern, and even embedded itself deeply into the branch.

Zhang Qian’s mind was connected to the Chaos Pearl, and he immediately sensed the vitality of nature within the branches that was like a vast ocean.

"What a miracle, such a vast vitality of creation, is this still an innate spiritual root?" He had seen quite a few innate spiritual roots. He himself had two innate spiritual roots in his hands, the sword gourd and the star treasure tree. But no matter whether it was the sword gourd or the star treasure tree, their power of creation and vitality was far from comparable to Jianmu.

It's not even as good as the branch in front of me!

The vitality of a branch of Jianmu is countless times richer than that of the sword gourd and the star tree.

This gave Zhang Qian an illusion that the Tongtian Jianmu was the source of vitality for the entire prehistoric world and the starting point for the birth of all things and spirits in the prehistoric world!
The Chaos Bead embedded in the branches prevented the Dao Pattern from recovering, and the power of the innate chaotic world inside exploded. The boundless innate chaotic world suddenly turned into a terrifying vortex, bursting with suction that swallowed up the world.

This suction force is only directed at the vitality of nature in the branches of Jianmu.

It seemed as if a black hole that swallowed everything appeared on the branches, violently absorbing the vitality of Jianmu.

Rumble!
Inside the Chaos Pearl, an incomparably condensed aura of vitality and creation fell, which was a magical object absorbed from the branches of the Jianmu tree.

Under Zhang Qian's guidance, the vitality of creation that fell like a river in the sky was divided into twelve parts and connected to the twelve eggs of gods and demons that were bred in the depths of the innate chaos.

The hearts of gods and demons have already been nurtured inside the twelve eggs of gods and demons, but due to the lack of vitality, they are still a long way from becoming true innate gods and demons.

The branches of the towering Jianmu tree provided Zhang Qian with a channel, a source for absorbing endless vitality from nature.

At the same time, the chaotic origin of gods and demons, which had been prepared long ago and differentiated by Zhang Qian using the Hongmeng Wanhua Ding, was also infused into the twelve gods and demons eggs.

The origin of the chaotic gods and demons, coupled with the great power of the Tongtian Jianmu, together created and nurtured the heart of the gods and demons within, causing the heart of the gods and demons to beat violently, and blood vessels and meridians spread from the heart of the gods and demons!
The moment Zhang Qian took out the Chaos Pearl, Zulong recognized the origin of the pearl and was immediately shocked. This was the Chaos Spirit Treasure, and it was actually in the hands of Zhang Qian.

Turning around and seeing Zulong's shocked and curious eyes, Zhang Qian said with a smile: "Please keep it a secret for me, Zulong."

However, he planned to hide the Chaos Pearl here for a long time, constantly absorbing the vitality of Tongtian Jianmu. To create twelve innate gods and demons, a huge amount of vitality was needed, which could not be absorbed in a short period of time. It required a long period of accumulation.

This is because Jianmu, the source of creation and vitality, exists. Otherwise, the birth of the twelve innate gods and demons would be a long time coming.

"Interesting. I won't say too much. It seems that you have absolute confidence in defeating Hongjun."

Zulong agreed and saw that Zhang Qian was not nervous at all, as if he was sure of winning against Hongjun.

"Hongjun is truly the best in the prehistoric world. I am not sure of winning, but I am sure that I can rescue you. If I want to, I can rescue you right now, and it will be effortless!"

"impossible!"

Zulong didn't believe it.

"Just wait patiently. Once my goal is achieved, I will naturally rescue you and free you from the fate of being suppressed."

Zhang Qian was not bragging. If he really wanted to rescue Zulong, it would be very easy. He only needed to move the broken jade and all the heavenly bans would be broken. He didn't even need to break the heavenly ban at all. He only needed to let the broken jade pass through the ban and put Zulong away.

However, this was not his purpose.

Before coming to the East Pole, his purpose was simply to rescue the Ancestral Dragon and then obtain the five treasures promised by Zhulong from the dragon clan's treasury. However, after seeing the truth of the East Pole and seeing the towering Jianmu, he had other ideas.

"The Tongtian Jianmu is the legendary innate spiritual root. It should fall into my hands and be transplanted to the Zhongji World to become a sacred tree connecting the three realms of heaven, earth and man! Moreover, since the Dongji land is a loophole in the prehistoric world, everything is false. If it can be integrated with the worlds in my Zhongji World..."

After learning the details of the Dongji land and witnessing the existence of the towering Jianmu, his greed had already erupted.
