That is the Profound Nether Dao Body.
A very special type of Innate Dao Body.
Cultivators with this Innate Dao Body practice Yin and Ice Attribute Magic, with significant innate advantages.
The speed at which they absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism is naturally faster.
"Princess, congratulations on achieving the Path of Longevity!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly.
To revert bloodlines and achieve the body of a Divine Beast like the Profound Nether Dragon Carp is akin to stepping across the boundary of life and death.
However, for a Dragon Maiden like Bai Liying, who naturally has a long lifespan, crossing life and death doesn’t seem to be a grand event.
Achieving the body of the Profound Nether Dragon Carp, however, ensures true growth in her own strength and Dao practice.
It seems Bai Liying will soon be able to distance herself from the many other strong figures of the same tier.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"
Bai Liying’s charming eyes also showed a trace of delight.
Beside her, Bai Shuang also vaguely sensed something unusual about Bai Liying, her expression changing slightly.
But Bai Shuang wasn’t quite sure what specific choice Bai Liying had made.
Her face solemn, she stepped forward to Zhang Jian, making a formal bow. However, before she could lower herself, Zhang Jian helped her up, smiling.
"Elder sister, no need for such formality. Your Life Palace is full, and your fortune endless; such a creation was meant for you!"
Bai Shuang pursed her lips, glanced at Bai Liying, and smiled: "I guess I’m benefiting from my fourth sister’s fortune, otherwise I might not have been able to seize this blessing when it arrived!"
She slightly mocked herself.
Bai Liying glanced at Zhang Jian, who gave her a signal, and immediately went forward to hold Bai Shuang’s arm.
The two sisters exchanged a few words of laughter, then prepared to return to their accommodation in the sleeping palace to familiarize themselves with the divine powers of Bai Liying’s newfound transformation.
...
Zhang Jian temporarily arranged a resting place for Bai Liying.
Bai Liying had just transformed into the Profound Nether Dragon Carp body, needing time to carefully comprehend and master this power.
Meanwhile, he needed to seize this rare opportunity to purchase some coveted Immortal Techniques.
At the moment, Zhang Jian headed deeper into the Dragon Palace, towards the area where the Sea King Market was located.
The Sea King Market was set up near a grand sea trench.
Around it, a Spirit Gathering Array was set, enveloped by countless Water Spiritual Mechanisms and even the power of the Qingping Sea God Department.
The surroundings of the sea trench were meticulously adorned, with colorful flags hanging from Immortal Palace Danques at various locations.
On the cliffs by the sea trench, there were many shops, some even directly set on the hanging cliffs, with clear streams flowing around, occasionally swimming sea fish adding unique charm.
Zhang Jian had also participated in the Canal Market hosted by the Canal Dragon Palace, but the Canal Market was far less grand and magnificent than this place.
At this moment, a streamer broke through the void, landing in front of Zhang Jian.
"Xuan He greets the Great Xia Emperor!"
From the streamer, Dragon Maiden Xuan He gracefully emerged, her jade-like face delicate, her eyes shimmering with a tender, charming glow.
"Xuan He Daoist friend, are you on duty here today as well?"
Zhang Jian glanced around and noticed several graceful Dragon Maidens on duty in the distant Danques.
Their gaze occasionally wandered over, seemingly ready to approach if Zhang Jian gestured.
Evidently, to them, Zhang Jian was a ’prize’.
Xuan He’s eyes revealed a hint of joy as she spoke softly.
"Emperor, this humble one is one of the twelve Dragon Maidens on daily duty at the Sea King Market. Is the Emperor here to participate in the sale organized by the Dragon Palace?!"
Pausing slightly, she hurriedly added.
"If the Emperor needs, this humble one can help guide you!"
Zhang Jian nodded upon hearing this and said.
"Very well."
Xuan He, hearing this, showed a trace of joy in her charming eyes.
Then she took the lead and asked: "I wonder if the Emperor would like to go directly to the consignment sale, or perhaps take a stroll first?"
"The consignment sale will start according to schedule in two hours, beginning with some low-value Spiritual Objects suitable for Low-tier Cultivators in the initial half-hour, gradually reaching its climax afterwards. If the Emperor wishes to take a break, you can go inside for a cup of Spirit Tea. Inside, there are also places available for Cultivators to sit in meditation and cultivate!"
Xuan He was diligent and attentive, knowing that the Great Xia Emperor before her held extraordinary status.
If she could leave a good impression, it might change her fate at a crucial time in the future.
Even just mentioning her name might alter her treatment in the Qingping Dragon Palace.
Zhang Jian pondered slightly, then said.
"Let’s have a walk around first. We shall visit the free trade area!"
Zhang Jian was not in a hurry; the Immortal Techniques he intended to purchase were among the finale-level treasures at the consignment sale.
So Xuan He led Zhang Jian toward the free trade area.
The free trade zone of the Sea King Market was also established in the eastern region.
The area was already bustling, with many Cultivators setting up stalls. Some Cultivators, unwilling for others to know their identities, wore masks and altered their Magical Energy Mechanism and Soul Qi Mechanism.
"Truly lively!"
Zhang Jian observed the bustling place, recalling the most lively streets of the Great Xia Dynasty.
He even saw high-tier Cultivators opening eateries and doing business, with all kinds of exquisite dishes inside, each a valuable Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.
On the side, there were even areas selling Spirit Beasts, as well as Demon Race selling Cultivators.
It was a kaleidoscope of variety.
A single glance left Zhang Jian wide-eyed and amazed.
According to custom, Zhang Jian first searched the stalls of merchants in the free trade area, discovering several good items, though they were already clearly priced.
