"The Dragon Vein is shattered, and the Dragon Qi is sparse, merely surviving on borrowed time!"
True Monarch Yu Xiao glanced briefly at the sparse Dragon Qi above the Imperial City. In her Divine Gaze, the national fortune above Haojing City was fragmented. It appeared vast, yet was, in reality, like a sieve, constantly spilling out with no way to retain it.
Logically, in such a state, other tumultuous powers, Rebel Kings, and cultivators would have long joined forces to rise up and overthrow the Qian Dynasty’s foundation and establish a new dynasty together.
However, the Qian Dynasty has managed to persist, extending its national destiny.
True Monarch Yu Xiao was slightly surprised to see this, knowing that the Tongshan Dao Lineage, being the Saint King Dao Lineage, had a unique way of handling such situations.
She then locked onto her target and headed directly toward the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
At this time, the Prime Minister’s Mansion was bustling with a stream of guests every day.
It seemed to have become the center of Haojing City, bustling with activity, welcoming and bidding farewell to everyone from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary merchants.
The civil and military affairs were clear in the court, and Emperor Qi Yuan, Wei Yuan, was merely a ’figurehead,’ with most of the Three Ministers and Nine Ministers in the court being political allies of the Zhang Family.
Emperor Qi Yuan, Wei Yuan, mostly only needed to be responsible for using the seal.
"How prosperous it looks!"
True Monarch Yu Xiao glanced at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, with a hint of indifference in her eyes. But in an instant, her eyes moved, with a trace of purple light flickering, and a layer of invisible power vaguely shrouded the mansion.
That invisible power was exceedingly special, centered on the Prime Minister’s Mansion, with a broad range of coverage, expanding towards Haojing City.
Overbearing, unstoppable!
"Outer World Blessed Land Secret Technique?"
With just a glance, a slight glimmer of unusual color appeared in True Monarch Yu Xiao’s eyes, her gaze following the invisible glow towards the direction of the Imperial City.
Not only at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but the Blessed Land Dharma Realm’s glow also bloomed over many high-ranking officials’ and nobles’ residences inside and outside the Imperial City, gradually engulfing most of the Inner City.
It’s a very ingenious approach.
"Fellow Daoist Zhanmo said his disciple is unique; it seems that is indeed the case!"
True Monarch Yu Xiao thought to herself, as this almost completed the takeover.
Almost simultaneously, the doors of the Prime Minister’s Mansion opened, and a figure clad in a purple robe, with a Book Knife at his waist and wearing a High Mountain Crown on his head, emerged, followed by numerous attendants and family members in line behind.
A voice came from afar: "What a joy to have friends coming from afar! Would the esteemed guest from Red City Mountain please reveal yourself!"
Hearing this, True Monarch Yu Xiao’s eyes moved, her figure appearing in the depths of the void in an instant, clad in blue and white intertwined attire. Her tall figure had long hair bound with a Hair Crown, her gaze calm, but with a face of unparalleled beauty, exuding heroic spirit.
Some are born with masculine features despite being female, and True Monarch Yu Xiao was such an existence.
She stood in the void gracefully.
Undoubtedly, if she were willing to appear in female attire, her grace would be unmatched.
In some ways, her aura was very similar to True Monarch Zhanmo’s, both exuding an overwhelming heroic spirit!
She stepped down from the void and soon arrived in front of Zhang Jian.
Her gaze swept past Zhang Jian, and she suddenly said indifferently, "This seat and Fellow Daoist Zhanmo have been friends for millennia, and I take the liberty to call you Junior Zhang. Junior Zhang, you have indeed given me quite a surprise!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly. Although he received a reminder from True Monarch Zhanmo that the Guangling Immortal Sect would send someone to inspect, he did not expect that a True Monarch would come in person.
This level of specification amazed him greatly.
Listening to True Monarch Yu Xiao’s words, his eyes moved, and he quickly responded.
"Senior, are you Master Yu Xiao? The Master has always taught us that Master is an extraordinary figure of Guangling Immortal Sect, mighty in Dao Practice, and a most honored guest of our Zhanmo Lineage. It is admirable to meet you today, and I am filled with admiration!"
At this moment, Zhang Jian wore a smile, and courteous words naturally came out of his mouth.
Some flattering remarks always help ease the atmosphere, making interpersonal relationships more harmonious.
Exceptional figures may not necessarily be swayed, but most would not be averse.
"A banquet is already prepared inside the mansion, please, Master, come in!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jian stepped aside to make way!
True Monarch Yu Xiao was not polite, and in fact, her impression of Zhang Jian was indeed being ’adjusted.’
Inside the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Zhang Jian had already prepared a feast.
The chef was readily available!
Hailing from a renowned restaurant within Haojing City, although unable to match the abilities of chefs from the cultivation realm, the dishes prepared did not fall short in quality. Additionally, there were various Spirit Fruits and Spirit Brews.
Zhang Jian did not lay out everything the family had; after all, it was just a teacher-acknowledging banquet, showing a little of the Zhang Family’s foundation would suffice. It wasn’t necessary to overdo it, to avoid leaving an overbearing impression on the guest.
In fact, he had already made a strong first impression, and surely Master Yu Xiao had taken note.
After a brief reception, Zhang Jian had Zhang Chang’an brought out.
In True Monarch Zhanmo’s judgment, Zhang Jian indeed placed his trust.
Since True Monarch Zhanmo recommended True Monarch Yu Xiao, he believed that True Monarch Yu Xiao could guide Zhang Chang’an.
"Chang’an, this is Master Yu Xiao from the Guangling Immortal Sect. Come and greet the senior!"
Zhang Chang’an’s small face, filled with curiosity, still dutifully greeted under Zhang Jian’s gaze.
"Chang’an pays respects to Grandmaster!"
True Monarch Yu Xiao noticed Zhang Chang’an the moment he stepped out. Her eyes, with purple light swirling, scanned Zhang Chang’an, and moments later, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
A smile appeared on her alluring face, and she beckoned gently to Zhang Chang’an.
"Good child, come closer to Grandmaster!"
"Father!"
At this moment, Zhang Chang’an seemed to understand the significance of this action, looking at Zhang Jian with some reluctance in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Jian gently said, "Chang’an, didn’t you say you wanted to grow up to be like your big brother, possessing the power to protect your father and mother? Your Grandmaster is an unparalleled figure of the Guangling Immortal Sect, versed in many Longevity Immortal Techniques. If you wish to learn abilities, this is a perfect opportunity!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chang’an hesitated slightly and then nodded firmly, slowly approaching True Monarch Yu Xiao.
Watching this scene, a faint smile appeared on True Monarch Yu Xiao’s lips. She raised her hand, enveloping Zhang Chang’an in a stream of light, and after a few breaths, she slowly withdrew her hand, a little understanding and a tinge of joy visible in her gaze.
She looked towards Zhang Jian and asked, "Junior Zhang, have you had Chang’an tested for her Spirit Root and physique?"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly and replied.
"When Chang’an was born, I initially explored her Spirit Root and physique with Divine Sense. Chang’an should have two Spirit Roots!"
"They are Wind and Fire, and both are of superior quality!"
"Additionally, she possesses a unique Postnatal Dao Body, called the Postnatal Phoenix Dao Body!"
A trace of a smile appeared in Zhang Jian’s eyes.
The Postnatal Phoenix Dao Body is a powerful Dao Body not inferior to the Innate Dao Body.
He had consulted records in the Sect, revealing it as a type of Postnatal Dao Body formed from the intertwining forces of Phoenix Style and the extremely pure Innate Divine Flame. This Postnatal Dao Body naturally provides an excellent physique for cultivating Fire and Wind Attributes.
Moreover, it holds the potential to further evolve, undergoing Nirvana to transform into other Phoenix Type Innate Dao Bodies, such as the Vermilion Bird Dao Body, Nirvana Dao Body, and so on.
Zhang Chang’an’s cultivation aptitude was indeed outstanding.
Importantly, she also inherited the Phoenix Style from Qi Yuhua.
True Monarch Yu Xiao nodded slightly and continued, "Junior, you are mostly correct, but you missed one. Chang’an actually possesses another unique Dao Body physique!"
