Cultivation Helped by Ancestors

The middle-aged Immortal God, smiling, claimed to be the Chief Official from the Nanji Longevity Emperor’s Mansion.

Qingyu Immortal Monarch!

Upon entering the Eternal Celestial Monarch’s Mansion, he promptly declared the decree.

It was merely a commendation for Zhang Jian for his contributions to restoring the World-Subduing Divine Artifact, the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel of the Tenth Heaven; the Nanji Longevity Emperor’s Mansion would thus reward and encourage him.

Subsequently, there would be further promotions from the Celestial Court.

He seemed to have other urgent matters and dared not linger at the Eternal Ice Castle, ordering his troops to leave various treasure boxes behind, then hurriedly departed with his Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals.

Zhang Jian understood the situation; they were wary of encountering the Celestial Evil.

Indeed, Zhang Jian also feared the Celestial Evil might have infiltrated the envoy and was reluctant to stay long.

If it weren’t for the fact these Immortal Gods carried the Talismanic Decree Seal of the Nanji Longevity Emperor, he wouldn’t have allowed them into the Eternal Ice Castle at all.

After the deities left, Zhang Jian did not remove the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

At this moment, the eyes of the Immortals were fixed on the treasure boxes, sparkling with interest.

Zhang Jian noticed the gaze of the Immortals and smiled faintly.

The Nanji Longevity Emperor was quite generous.

This time, the rewarded Immortal Objects and Divine Objects were abundant.

There were nine Longevity Immortal Peaches, three kilograms of Fire Dates, one kilogram of Jiaoli Pears, six gourds of Immortal Pills, and a box of Divine Object-level Ten Thousand Years Jade, along with thirty-six Purple Qi Golden Flowers and nineteen jars of Jade Dew.

There were also three Tier Five Immortal Treasures.

Although not Eternal Immortal Treasures, merely Taiyi Level Immortal Treasures, they were still quite dazzling.

Leaving aside the Purple Qi Golden Flowers and Jade Dew, the Longevity Immortal Peaches, Jiaoli Pears, and Fire Dates were the kind of rewards Zhang Jian was receiving for the first time.

Such treasures might occasionally be presented at the residences of those ranked Duke Tier or higher, for a rare taste.

Though the Longevity Immortal Peaches couldn’t compare to the Peach Divine Object of Jasper Pool Celestial Realm, they could prolong life by ten thousand years.

For some Immortal Gods who faced the decline of their lifespan and the Celestial Five Declines, these were indeed extremely precious.

Especially as some Celestial Realm Immortal Gods had limited lifespans or suffered many calamities due to the unique Celestial Realm environment, urgently needing divine objects that could extend their lives.

The Fire Dates and Jiaoli Pears were also Immortal Objects that supplemented Primordial Qi.

This time, he didn’t intend to share these treasures with the Immortals.

These could be used at the Eternal Celestial Monarch’s Mansion for guests.

Or it could become the foundation of the Zhang Family.

After driving the Immortals away, Zhang Jian summoned the Ji Family, and asked:

"Madam, how far has your cultivation in Paradise Demon Realm progressed?!"

Upon hearing, the Ji Family immediately replied.

"Emperor, my cultivation in the Paradise Demon Realm allows free transformation between Immortal Demon, which in some degree, is no longer a Demon Treasure!"

"At most, it can be considered a Heterodox Immortal Treasure!"

The Ji Family understood Zhang Jian’s implication.

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Since the Celestial Court intended to activate the Celestial Mirror, which was a Supreme Treasure with overwhelming Great Power, it wouldn’t fail to detect the evil force within the Paradise Demon Realm.

The Celestial Court wouldn’t permit any Immortal Gods to secretly refine Demon Treasures.

Lest they be targeted by the Celestial Court.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded slightly, then sighed.

"It won’t be long before we leave the Eternal Ice Castle, and you should also prepare!"

Upon hearing this, the Ji Family showed a hint of a smile within her beautiful eyes.

"It seems the Emperor is about to rise in rank again!"

She was genuinely happy for Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian nodded slightly; his original term was supposed to end in over a thousand years. But now, having made significant contributions by restoring the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel, he reckoned he might gain more leverage in the matter.

Although the Divine Position of the Eternal Celestial Monarch ranked ninth in sequence, possessing substantive power and overseeing thirty thousand elite eternal troops, compared to the real power Emperor of the Celestial Realm, it still fell short.

This time, he must strive to transition into a Celestial Real Power Emperor ranked ninth.

Ideally, one aligned with the Earth or the Nine Nether Authority.

Though this last point might be difficult.

It requires him to act proactively.

For according to regulations, as he now serves as Lord of the Eternal Immortal Prison, theoretically belonging to the Prison God lineage, the next step should be to transfer into Chonghua Palace within the Celestial Six Palaces, continuing as an Emperor of the Prison God lineage.

Otherwise, he would return to the Spirit Official Lineage.

Yet, returning to the Spirit Official Lineage wouldn’t be a bad thing.

The Spirit Official Hall also holds many Great Power Immortal Positions.

Moreover, many wield the core authority of the Celestial Realm or are confidants of the Six Celestial Emperors.

Zhang Jian planned to contact Daoist Monarch Qingxia, and the Tongshan Dao Lineage, to see if he could discern what real vacancies the Celestial Court presently had.

Still, Zhang Jian had some apprehension in his heart.

He feared he might be promoted to Chonghua Palace this time.

This time, the Celestial Prison in Chonghua Palace broke open, inside the ’Prison Chief’ suffered heavy casualties, and numerous Immortal Positions were vacant.

Although Chonghua Palace is one of the Celestial Six Palaces, directly managed by the Celestial Lord Jade Emperor, in reality, it wasn’t much stronger than the Eternal Immortal Prison.

Furthermore, it housed Zhang Jian’s rival, the Prison King Daoist Monarch.

He had directly sent the Prison King Daoist Monarch’s apprentice, Wu Chun Immortal Monarch, to the Immortal Slaying Platform; and entering Chonghua Palace this time to confront him would inevitably bring conflict.

With such concerns, Zhang Jian could only suppress them, wait until the Celestial Court captured the Celestial Evil, and then actively investigate the situation.

Soon after, Zhang Jian in the Eternal Ice Castle received news that the Celestial Court had used the Celestial Mirror to locate the hiding spot of the Celestial Evil and had captured him again, imprisoning him in the Celestial Prison of Chonghua Palace.

As a result, the Immortals in the Celestial Court breathed a sigh of relief.

The blockade of the Thirty-Three Heavens began to lift gradually.

Regarding this, Zhang Jian was pleased.

Thus, he could finally conduct a memorial offering to the ancestors again.

This time having restored the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel and about to take up a new post, he thought he could seize this opportunity to make gains at the Ancestral Hall.

But Zhang Jian intended to restrain himself this time, waiting until the new position came down a millennium later.
