Cultivation Helped by Ancestors

Zhang Jian once met these two immortals and gods in the Jasper Pool Celestial Realm.

At that time, the two Daoist Monarchs were representing the Yaochi Saint Mother to welcome all the immortals of the Celestial Court.

At this moment, Daoist Monarch Tai Ming glanced around and said,

"It seems that another Innate God will be added to our Jasper Pool Celestial Realm!"

His face was full of smiles, yet he straightforwardly absorbed Fairy Zihua into the Jasper Pool’s ranks.

The other immortals and gods saw this scene, and their expressions slightly changed.

This kind of female immortal, who possesses the origin of the Celestial Realm, naturally becomes the object of contention for major forces, but they indeed lacked a justifiable reason.

Fairy Zihua was nominally affiliated with the Eternal Ice Castle.

The superior of the Eternal Ice Castle is Chonghua Palace.

Chonghua Palace is one of the Six Palaces, and most of the Six Palaces fall directly under the authority of the Celestial Lord Jade Emperor.

Yaochi Saint Mother, being the head of the female immortals of the Celestial Court, was rightful to transfer a female immortal to Yaochi.

Zhang Jian witnessed this without changing his expression.

At this moment, behind the two Great Immortals of Yaochi, Bai Hua Fairy was also present.

Shortly after, hearing the commotion, more and more immortals and gods arrived, but upon hearing that Fairy Zihua had been directly appointed as a Yaochi Fairy by Daoist Monarch Tai Ming, many extinguished their thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I didn’t expect such a good thing to happen to you!"

At this time, the Three Officials Emperor appeared not far away, with a tinge of amazement in the eyes of the Celestial Official Emperor.

They, being well-informed, already knew the beginning and end of the matter and couldn’t help being surprised at Zhang Jian’s stroke of luck.

"I also never expected that Fairy Zihua would have such a fortune, it was all a series of fortunate coincidences!"

Zhang Jian’s expression carried a slight smile.

But the Three Officials Emperor’s heart did not believe it, yet he listened on.

If not for already foreseeing the mysteries between Fairy Zihua and the World-Subduing Divine Artifact of the Thirty-Three Heavens, even if this Celestial Monarch had several boldnesses, he would not dare easily make a military pledge before the Emperor of Longevity of Nanji.

However, the Three Officials Emperor believed that Zhang Jian could not have known in advance the entry of Ancient Demon God Xingtian into the Celestial Realm.

Even with backing, he should not possess such divine techniques.

But it’s conceivable that this Celestial Monarch’s appearance in front of the Emperor of Longevity of Nanji would likely lead to a promotion soon.

His authority might soon catch up with the three Emperors.

In tens of thousands of years, from an honorary emperor of the Celestial Realm to a real power emperor of the Celestial Realm, he indeed lives up to his divine body, with rapid progress.

The Water Official Emperor glanced at Zhang Jian, with a sigh in his eyes.

In such competition, he had already fallen behind.

The divine body is truly a form of existence that brings despair.

Before the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel, Daoist Monarch Tai Ming and Daoist Monarch Taixu quickly summoned a batch of Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals to surround the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel, to assist Fairy Zihua’s transformation.

This act of overshadowing the host was apparently somewhat overstepping.

However, Zhang Jian watched this, and was glad to save some effort.

At this time, Zhang Jian finally had the opportunity to inquire from Bai Hua Fairy about the changes in the Celestial Court.

Bai Hua Fairy’s intelligence was apparently much more informed than his.

From Bai Hua Fairy’s mouth, Zhang Jian learned that this time several powerful Demon Venerables entered the Chonghua Palace of the Celestial Realm from the Black Abyss Demon Realm with the Ancient Demon God Xingtian.

The important place of the Celestial Realm, Chonghua Palace, was breached, and the major criminals inside were released, but most of them were quickly recaptured by the Heaven and Earth Net laid down by the Celestial Court.

Only a few were rescued by Ancient Demon God Xingtian and several Demon Venerables.

However, just as Xingtian and several Demon Venerables left the Celestial Realm, they were already blocked.

Their encirclement and slaughter had become a foregone conclusion.

It was unknown whether they could escape under the encirclement of the powerful figures of the Celestial Court.

The prospect looked bleak.

𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This time these Demon Gods and Demon Venerables seemed to have lost more than they gained.

Bai Hua Fairy’s expression was calm, with not much goodwill toward these Ancient Demon Gods.

Most of the immortals and gods of the Celestial Court were quite unfamiliar with the Ancient Demon Gods, as most of them entered the Celestial Court and became immortals and gods after the end of the Ancient Era.

In the records of the Celestial Court, most of the Ancient Demon Gods were tyrannical and primitive, not following the teachings of the saints.

Therefore, many immortals and gods in the Celestial Court did not have a good impression of them.

Especially since they also entered the Celestial Court to raid the prison, many immortals and gods held hostility.

Bai Hua Fairy felt the same way.

However, mentioning the losses of the Celestial Court, a regret appeared in Bai Hua Fairy’s eyes.

This time, the sudden invasion cost the Celestial Court a heavy price.

Apart from part of the Tenth Heaven’s surface sinking,

another part of the Celestial Realm was split by the axe light of Xingtian Demon God, destroying several Celestial Realm continents.

The beings on those continents all perished.

Many immortals and gods also suffered unjust catastrophes, directly erased by the axe light.

Moreover, one layer of the Celestial Realm was detonated by several Outer World Demon Monarchs, causing the land to sink and bringing the realm to the brink of collapse.

"This might be the most severe calamity the Celestial Court has faced in several Inference Eras!"

Bai Hua Fairy felt some emotion.

"Who would have thought that being in the Celestial Court, one would encounter such unexpected disasters!"

Her expression carried a sigh.

Zhang Jian’s face was solemn, knowing only by becoming stronger himself can he withstand various calamities.

But can achieving the status of Daoist Monarch allow one to control their own destiny?

Zhang Jian thought of those sinful immortals, sin gods, even the Ancient Demon Saint, and Ancient Demon God in Chonghua Palace.

A wave of emotion passed through his eyes.

But he knew, achieving Daoist Monarch status was his most important task at present.

Moreover, after achieving Daoist Monarch status, in the All Heavens Void, he would gain more voice, at least not like now, not daring to leave the Central Celestial Realm, Three Emperors Celestial Realm easily, to avoid scheming by other Ancient Immortals and Ancient Gods.

Additionally, achieving Daoist Monarch status meant entering the ’upper structure’ of all heavens and myriad worlds.

Whether in terms of dao practice or status, it far exceeded his current condition.

...

With many thoughts in mind, Zhang Jian did not leave directly, still guarding before the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel.

Since he made a military pledge, Zhang Jian naturally needed to see it through from beginning to end.

After many immortals and gods examined the state of the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel, ensuring its recovery, they gradually withdrew.

After confirming the complete recovery of the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel, Zhang Jian also left, returning to the Eternal Ice Castle on the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Realm.

The Ninth Layer of the Celestial Realm was not affected by this great calamity.

But uncontrollable panic among immortals was unavoidable.

Afterwards, Zhang Jian received many messages, including numerous notifications from the Tongshan Dao Lineage of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, and inquiries from Zhang Clan Members like Zhang Yi, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Xian.

Zhang Jian replied to each, soothing their concerns.

And after responding, Zhang Jian received a cooperative investigation report from the Celestial Court, requiring immortals everywhere to assist in capturing the escaped repeat offenders.

This time, the Celestial Prison in Chonghua Palace was broken by the Gan Qi Divine Axe, and while most fugitives were either re-suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Net or killed on the spot by several of the Six Celestial Emperors or Celestial Court Emperors, a few were taken by Ancient Demon God Xingtian and Demon Venerables from the Black Abyss Demon Realm.

Among them were Ancient Demon God Wind Master, Ancient Demon God Gold Origin, and several well-known Ancient Demon Fiends in the universe.

But one did not escape in time, sealed within the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms.

This was a powerful Demon Monarch known as Celestial Evil, originating from the Nine Nether Demon Realm of the Six Great Demon Realms.

This being was a demon among demons.

The Celestial Court spent enormous resources to capture this powerful Demon Monarch.

Now, this Demon Monarch hid within the Thirty-Three Heavens, posing a huge threat.

The Celestial Court plans to use the Thirty-Three Celestial World-Suppressing Divine Artifacts to individually seal each layer while employing the celestial treasure, the Celestial Mirror, for a search.

In the Eternal Ice Castle.

After receiving the cooperative investigation report, Zhang Jian felt that just as one wave subsided, another rose.

A sigh passed through Zhang Jian’s eyes, and he immediately issued an order, tightening security within the entire Eternal Ice Castle and prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving without his command.

Simultaneously, he initiated the eternal-level forbidden technique around the Eternal Ice Castle, sealing it completely.

Soon after, the Antarctic Longevity Talisman Decree in Zhang Jian’s hand flew away.

Almost simultaneously, the reward Golden Decree from the Emperor of Longevity of Nanji arrived at the Eternal Ice Castle.

Accompanying it were some special envoys from the Emperor of Longevity of Nanji’s palace.
