Recently, not only Qi Yuhua within the Palace of the Imperial Harem of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also Zhang Jian far away in the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace, have more or less received hints. Many True Immortal Clans, Saint King Families, and various Dragon Race forces have shown intentions of forming alliances.
If Zhang Jian is willing, the Qingping Dragon Palace is even willing to marry off a Dragon Maiden of their direct lineage.
And among the mortals, there are more such intentions.
Many noble ladies of the founding princes and dukes, both inside and outside the Great Xia Dynasty, have inquired about Qi Yuhua’s thoughts.
However, Qi Yuhua cannot make the decision and has been deflecting with excuses.
In Fengzhi Palace,
The couple sat in front of a desk, Qi Yuhua’s jade-like appearance remained unchanged, resembling a young maiden, as if time froze after her coming of age.
Yet her demeanor has become more noble and composed, exuding an aura befitting the mother of the nation.
At this moment, she was dressed in a luxurious crimson phoenix gown, personally brewing tea for Zhang Jian.
A gentle flame flickered under the teapot, the aroma of Spirit Tea wafting through the air, soothing to the senses.
Her charming eyes settled on Zhang Jian.
"Which girl’s family has Your Majesty taken a fancy to?"
Zhang Jian thought for a moment then said, "Some time ago, Master Qingyun mentioned to me a little granddaughter under the Si Family Patriarch, who is graceful and virtuous. Most importantly, she has a noble character and unique root bone, seemingly possessing a Dao Body, making her a good match!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in the depths of Qi Yuhua’s eyes.
"If it’s a high-ranking matchmaker of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, it should be reliable!"
But then her voice paused slightly.
"However, possessing a Dao Body usually means she’s a True Seed of the Immortal Sect Dao Lineage or Noble Families, unlikely to marry out easily!"
Though not a cultivator, Qi Yuhua has a broad vision.
If it were her or Zhang Jian, it would be the same.
Someone like Zhang Chang’an wouldn’t easily marry out.
Zhang Jian nodded and continued.
"I also think so, but Master Qingyun mentioned he could advocate for us. Whether it succeeds ultimately depends on Zhao’Er’s own abilities!"
A smile appeared in Zhang Jian’s eyes.
The Zhang family has reached a point where they can finally start to take root and germinate.
Seeing the worry on Qi Yuhua’s face, Zhang Jian smiled and said.
"Empress, rest assured. This time, I will assist Zhao’Er!"
Zhang Zhao is also walking the path of a Saint King.
The Saint King Dao hinges on Saintly Virtue, commanding Heaven and Earth, with Zhang Zhao as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, his foundation is strong.
Though his dao practice is not yet complete due to a short cultivation period,
with Zhang Jian’s covert assistance, given time, he won’t be inferior to any True Immortal Seed born of True Immortal Clans or Saint King Families.
The Zhang family now has a full reserve of treasures.
They lack neither transformative foundations nor various cultivation technique inheritances.
Additionally, with Zhang Jian’s progress in dao practice and magical power, he also plans to leave some unused Spirit Treasures as a legacy for the Zhang Royal Family.
Such as the first National Fortune Spiritual Treasure, the Tai Xiao Fiery Fire Pearl.
Or the Tier One Immortal Treasure, the King Jun Golden Man.
It’s only a pity that Zhang Zhao’s dao practice is still weak, temporarily unable to wield the Tier One Immortal Treasure, the King Jun Golden Man.
But this time he suppressed several Yun Family powerhouses and the Ji Family True Immortal Ji Ke.
These powerhouses, who walk the Saint King Dao, have Spiritual Qi Artifacts, Dharma Artifacts, and even Spirit Treasures and Immortal Treasures, which can be of use.
After the couple discussed for a while, they decided to first investigate the character and background of the Si Family’s direct lineage young lady before considering marriage alliances.
Besides, they are also selecting other forces for marriage candidates.
In the evening, Zhang Jian left Fengzhi Palace.
His eyes were thoughtful, actually placing considerable importance on True Monarch Qingyun’s suggestion.
The Si Family, a bloodline left by Ancestor Master Xia Yu of the Ancient Gods, though not the strongest among the Eight Great Saint King Families, ranks high and could assist Zhang Zhao.
But one must be strong to forge their own destiny.
The Zhang family must still strive for self-improvement.
After leaving Fengzhi Palace, Zhang Jian then visited the Jade Consort and Qu Fei Palace.
...
In the Celestial Realm, amid the grandeur of the Immortal Realm.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia was feeling troubled.
Her eyes fell upon the Two Realms Pool, her eyebrows furrowed as she watched the Nine-Colored Pool Water churn incessantly, as if storms were brewing within.
She even began to doubt whether this ancient Two Realms Pool could still hold.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia was utterly exasperated.
Just a short period of peace, and ’trouble’ arises again.
It seems this time, the scale of the sacrificial ritual is no less than previous times.
She had a gut feeling that this time, the scale of the ritual might be the greatest ever!
This inevitably stirred her Dao Heart.
The last time’s Earth Element Primordial Tripod hasn’t even been consigned to sale yet.
It’s not that she’s reluctant, but consigning two Innate Merit Spiritual Treasures at the Jade Pool Sale within such a short time is likely to draw the attention of Great Powers, which could spell trouble.
Innate Merit Spiritual Treasures are different from other Immortal Treasure levels or Postnatal Spiritual Treasures.
Even a Daoist Monarch would spare no effort to compete, battling fiercely for these items.
Currently, without having sold that Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure, the items she prepared may not match the value of this ritual.
Worried at heart, Daoist Monarch Qingxia still infused a stream of magical power into the Two Realms to stabilize the pool.
In an instant, the sound of majestic ocean waves echoed within, with streams of golden light swirling.
In an instant, they transformed into a series of colossal Golden Bodies flying out.
With a wave of Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s hand, the Incense Palace Lamp appeared in the void, and upon merging into a Golden Body, a golden halo emerged within.
