The Primordial Spirit manifestation of Chufa Master had eyes that grew even more fervent.
Regardless, Zhang Jian was a disciple of the Demon-slaying Peak lineage.
A direct disciple of our own sect.
Founder King Xia Yu passed down twelve disciples, three of whom perished. Among the remaining nine disciples, most have already expanded the lineage, with some of the other eight lineages having already produced multiple Ascended Immortals.
For instance, under the tutelage of Sixth Senior Brother Qing Yuan Daoist, there is already a second Ascended Immortal.
But to spawn a Divine Dao Emperor is unprecedented.
Even among the Immortal Sect Dao Lineages of the Outer Worlds, it is exceedingly rare to foster a Divine Dao Emperor.
A normal Divine Dao Emperor growing in stature is definitively capable of reaching the position of Half-Step Daoist Monarch, and even holds a glimmer of hope to become a Daoist Monarch, becoming such a legendary figure across history.
His Third Senior Brother, Tianhe Master, attained such heights by obtaining the immortal fate of the Water Official Emperor.
And holds a faint hope of achieving Daoist Monarch fruit status.
The Daoist Monarch status of "though Heaven and Earth perish, I remain immortal" is an aspirational yet unattainable goal for all immortals across realms.
The only concern is whether True Monarch Zhanmo has misreported after not having witnessed a true Emperor’s might.
Moments later, Zhang Jian entered the grand hall and immediately saw a procession of Immortals surrounded by the circulation of Immortal Dao Laws, and his expression slightly shifted. He immediately clasped his hands in salute.
"Disciple Zhang Jian, greets the Ancestors, Great Grandmaster, and all Great Grand-Uncles, Grandmaster!"
At this moment, Zhang Jian’s face was solemn. Within his Primordial Spirit Divine Sense, he could feel nearly a dozen figures, akin to blazing suns, manifesting either as true bodies or having their Primordial Spirit as radiant and vast as the sun.
The slightly dissipating power of the Primordial Spirit was astonishing.
These Second Generation Ancestor Masters, who survived the ancient and medieval wars, were incredibly formidable.
The stronger one’s Dao Practice, the more they could sense the profoundness of their Immortal Body and Technique.
"Do not be constrained by formalities!"
At this moment, a faint voice came from the depths of the void. Zhang Jian’s gaze fell on the third seat in the second row of twelve seats.
That ethereal Primordial Spirit manifestation among the many ancestors had the most unique aura, standing tall and magnificent, like a unique Great Dao Law of Heaven and Earth eternally spanning the stage of Heaven and Earth, inspiring awe.
Upon seeing this, True Monarch Zhanmo said, "Ah Yu, that is your Great Grandmaster Tianhe."
"Tianhe Daoist!"
Zhang Jian’s expression turned stern, his demeanor serious.
This was a true Ancient Immortal.
Jue Ming Daoist was a living fossil, while this one was a mythical being alive and reflecting into reality.
Just then, a gentle laughter came from the depths of the Golden Body.
"Red Dragon transformation, the Emperor Star Shines Brightly, the Immortal Body has formed... Truly extraordinary talent, in the myriad worlds, those like you can rightly be called ’geniuses’!!"
Upon hearing this, many Second Generation Ancestor Masters cast their gazes, unaware that Zhang Jian had achieved an Immortal Body using the ’Golden Lotus Stealth Breath Technique’ of innate divine techniques.
True Monarch Zhanmo couldn’t help but ask, "Ah Yu, when did you also form the Immortal Body?"
Noting True Monarch Zhanmo’s surprised gaze, Zhang Jian smiled faintly.
"It was a serendipitous opportunity to achieve the Immortal Body, not worth mentioning!"
Seeing Zhang Jian so casually dismiss it, True Monarch Zhanmo nearly felt the urge to berate, but held back.
True Monarch Zhanmo had to admit, at this moment, she felt truly envious.
She had cultivated for several millennia, in pursuit of forming the Immortal Body, always gathering resources, even venturing into countless perilous ruins, yet even so, she was only at a Half-Immortal Body state now.
This Half-Immortal Body was still ahead of many Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
Yet the disciple before her quietly achieved the Immortal Body.
Even with the aptitude of True Monarch Zhanmo, she felt deeply shaken.
Numerous Second Generation Ancestor Masters also turned their gaze in regard.
Such an age, achieving the Immortal Body is terrifying, even for a Saintly Body.
At this moment, the heavenly laughter of Tianhe Master resonated from the divine altar, and he continued.
"Zhang Jian, you can come forward! I shall cast a spell to map your Emperor’s Position and assess your authority control degree!"
"Do not resist!"
Zhang Jian raised an eyebrow, understanding that this direct mapping upon the Life Palace was straightforward and dangerous, and if the other party harbored any malintent, he would fall directly into peril.
Nevertheless, with skill comes courage, and he feared not.
After all, to receive benefits given by the ancestors, one must reveal some abilities to give the other party confidence, and not let the ’Angel Investor’ only rely on guesses.
Most of the cumbersome processes, such as planning schemes and conducting surveys, were omitted, just presenting specific data.
As Zhang Jian stood firm, an inexplicable brilliance circulated from the ethereal divine altar. This wisp of brilliance appeared alone, and within the Ancestral Hall, all the Second Generation Ancestor Masters perceived an extraordinarily strong pressure.
Its own magical power operation seemed influenced.
"Emperor’s Authority!"
In an instant, all the Second Generation Ancestor Masters’ expressions turned solemn.
Zhang Jian, however, sensed something different. He only felt the void suddenly twisting, his vast Primordial Spirit Divine Sense seemingly ’seeing’ a majestic Celestial River flowing by, engulfing Heaven and Earth.
An invisible force pressed down from the void, affecting his Primordial Spirit Divine Sense, causing his Sheji Emperor’s Primordial Spirit to involuntarily manifest.
In the depths of the Life Palace, nine rays of light soared into the sky, with eight strands embracing the origin of the Sheji Emperor, forming a special radiance.
The ninth one exuded boundless might extending to the skies.
"Good heavens! Eight Great Emperor’s Fates?? And another one, appearing to be the Supreme Fate of Confucianism?"
At this time, around them, the Second Generation Ancestor Masters watched in astonishment as anomalous signs manifested around Zhang Jian.
Around him, the Sheji Emperor’s Robe manifested, a grand Emperor’s Qi, Dragon Qi swirling, and behind him, the radiance of Primordial Spirit transformed into a Treasure Wheel, with nine lights illuminating each as they manifested themselves under the stimulation of the Water Official Emperor’s Secret Technique, bringing forth varied anomalies.
Some soared to the heavens, transforming into a ethereal Emperor in violet robes, bearing the authority of Ziwei, ruling over All Heaven Star River.
Others transformed into a grand tripod, with nine tripods surrounding it, stabilizing the mountains and rivers, heaven and earth.
Some turned like a bright sun, surrounded by scarlet radiance.
Others became Five Dragons controlling all living beings.
...
These were his Eight Great Emperor’s Fates.
Equipped with the Di Zi Fate, Vast Ambition, Heaven and Sun Calendar, Tripod Calms Heaven and Earth, Lord of Sheji, Red Virtue True Lord, Nine-Five Fate Grid, and Emperor Ziwei.
Beyond those, there was yet a vast aura soaring into the sky, faintly resonating with a milky-white radiant star in the firmament above, further revealing a manifesting long river.
That was the Supreme Fate of Confucian Dao.
Such deep foundational skills, even True Monarch Zhanmo, standing nearby, was somewhat taken aback.
"This wretched disciple hid so deeply?"
True Monarch Zhanmo’s heart trembled silently.
The wonders of the Sutra of the Human King, which True Monarch Zhanmo had also come into contact with, instructed that with eight types of Emperor’s Fate, achieving one more would form a Nine-Nine Life Plate, capable of coalescing the Human Emperor’s Fate, thereby aligning with the Ancient Saint King Dao.
"Truly a grand foundation of Great Power, unparalleled latent potential!"
Other Second Generation Ancestor Masters’ expressions changed as well.
Seeing Zhang Jian’s unfolding phenomena did not stop, a moment later, an invisible purple-yellow light abruptly burst out from the depth of Zhang Jian’s Primordial Spirit radiance. The purple-yellow Qi blazed intensely, seemingly encompassing all directions of Heaven and Earth, mountains and rivers, suppressing the canopy of the sky.
This radiance nearly burst out of the Ancestral Hall.
Even in the depths of the sky, the expressionless Tianhe Daoist could not help but bow down his gaze.
"An Emperor’s Position of the Earth Attribute?"
