With such fortune, even Ancestor Chufa’s future achievements may not pale in comparison to Water Official Emperor Tianhe Master.
"Ninth Junior Brother’s luck truly is..."
Qing Yuan Ancestor sighed inwardly.
Ancestor Chufa originally had good qualifications, what he lacked was fortune.
And now, this Innate Emperor is a great fortune.
Once he grows, won’t he command the winds and the rains?
Moreover, Tongshan Dao Lineage, being his sect, would naturally gain the momentum of the Innate Emperor, reviving and returning to the splendor from the time when Ancestor Master Xia Yu of ancient times dominated Heaven and Earth.
Ancestor Chufa gently stroked his beard, his eyes filled with irrepressible joy.
To cause an Ancient Immortal to abandon Dao Heart Cultivation and show expression is truly rare.
But Ancestor Chufa could not help but be delighted.
The birth of an Innate Emperor at Demon-slaying Peak would delight any Immortal, even a Daoist Monarch.
An existence like an Innate Emperor, even in the Outer Heaven Realm, is a mythical legend.
Each has a unique status.
They command the awe of countless Immortals.
Even these Ancient Immortals, although their Dao Practice might be temporarily stronger, dare not show the slightest disrespect.
If later it is mentioned that under his command is an Innate Emperor, even in the Outer Heaven Realm, he will be revered by countless Immortals.
"Ninth Junior Brother indeed has immense fortune!"
Beside him, Zidian Ancestor exclaimed slightly.
Ancestor Chufa then calmed his emotions slightly and smiled.
"Fellow Senior Brothers, let’s rejoice together! But next we need you two Senior Brothers to assist us so that Ah Yu can grow quickly and achieve the Great Dao!"
Zidian Ancestor and Qing Yuan Ancestor exchanged a glance.
They naturally understood Ancestor Chufa’s intention.
This is to have Tongshan Dao Lineage adjust its strategy, support Great Xia Emperor in uniting the lands, and achieve Saint King Dao Skill again.
"Naturally!"
Qing Yuan Ancestor nodded.
He readily agreed.
Even though the main lineage of Tongshan Dao Lineage is Qing Yuan Lineage.
But as long as Tongshan Dao Lineage can achieve the second advent of Saint King, Qing Yuan Lineage is willing to step down and let the capable take charge, giving up the main lineage position.
Zidian Ancestor’s eyes smiled slightly.
If Tongshan Dao Lineage could give birth to a second Saint King Human Emperor, they as the Ancient Immortals who assist the Saint King in achieving Dao Skill would surely obtain a great destiny in return, and their Dao Practices would ascend.
The three Ancient Immortals’ Dao Hearts rippled, instantly turning their eyes toward the void, where beams of Immortal Light were approaching from the horizon.
Evidently, other Immortal Gods in this realm had sensed this fluctuation and were coming to investigate.
Deep in the void, two powerful Ji Family figures also emerged, one was Ji Ning, and the other was Ji Family’s Grand Elder Ji Tianyun.
Ji Ning immediately saw Qing Yuan Ancestor, Zidian Ancestor, and Ancestor Chufa.
Scanning his gaze briefly, his expression changed dramatically.
This Tongshan Dao Lineage is truly defiant, hiding three Ancient Immortals in this realm.
These three Ancient Immortals are actually willing to abandon heavenly prospects for the Dao Lineage?
Ji Tianyun also saw this scene, slightly furrowing his brow.
"I did not expect you three would be so willing, dignified Ancient Immortals willing to waste time in this realm!"
Qing Yuan Ancestor heard Ji Tianyun’s voice and said calmly.
"Everyone has their path to tread, we three have mediocre qualifications far inferior to our other six senior brothers, staying here to refine our foundation, isn’t it a win-win situation?"
Ji Tianyun’s eyes flickered, then he said, "Before King Xia Yu ascended, it’s said he gifted Brother Qing Yuan a ’fool’ character, Brother Qing Yuan truly lives up to the Saint King’s ’praise’!"
Qing Yuan Ancestor was unconcerned, merely laughing heartily and said.
"Hidden elegance suppressing brilliance, withdrawing spirit to act foolishly. Resolute in ambition, the Great Dao eventually rewards! With humble qualifications, one must keep wise restraint!"
Ji Tianyun’s eyes shifted, then he focused on the sky above East Continent, gazing at the grand phenomenon, his eyes showed some envy, then expressed solemnity and caution.
Ji Ning, from beginning to end, did not speak, but the worry in his eyes was undisguisable.
That anomaly, others may not know, but as strong Celestial Immortals, they have some knowledge, inevitably leading to guessing.
Elsewhere, there were also several Immortals with grand presence, like they were formed from the Path of Heaven and Earth, appearing. Some bore the aspect of Overlords, some were Wandering Immortals, some were Fisherman Immortals, or Daoists with long beards.
Each had a unique flair, a distinct temperament.
These are the legendary Immortals of this realm, deified in the mouths of countless cultivators!
Every one of these Immortals had their gaze fixed above the Great Xia Dynasty, with waves in their eyes.
Among them were the Celestial Will Sect, Nanhua Sect’s esteemed High Masters, as well as members of other Saint King’s Family, Loose Cultivator Immortals, or ancient immortals playing in the mortal world, and even a few Outer World Immortals.
At this moment, Qing Yuan Ancestor’s expression changed slightly as a voice was heard.
"Fifty million top-grade Spirit Crystals, we agree to this deal!"
Qing Yuan Ancestor’s gaze shifted as he looked at Ji Tianyun.
The voice was indeed coming from Ji Tianyun.
The corner of Qing Yuan Ancestor’s mouth curled in a peculiar manner.
He recalled that not long ago, the elder from the Ji Family had firmly stated he would never agree to a price of fifty million top-grade Spirit Crystals to ransom a True Immortal of the Ji Family. He even declared he would teach the Tongshan Dao Lineage and the East Continent Zhang Family a lesson, to show the might of the Ji Family.
Qing Yuan Ancestor glanced at Ji Tianyun and laughed.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, I remember you said just a few days ago that the Ji Family would never compromise. How is it that within just a few days, you’ve changed your stance?"
He lightly smiled!
Ji Tianyun glanced in the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty, speaking calmly.
"Times change, Brother Qing Yuan. You and I are both leaders of our sects and families, clearly aware that every decision we make must prioritize the family’s interests. Every resource of the family has its owner and cannot be squandered recklessly!"
As he watched Ji Tianyun’s earnest sophistry, Qing Yuan Ancestor internally scoffed, knowing that the Ji Family truly felt fear this time.
The Ji Family in the Outer Heaven Realm might withstand the backlash of an Innate Emperor.
But the Ji Family in this Great Realm certainly could not withstand the wrath of an Innate Emperor.
Qing Yuan Ancestor’s eyes showed motion; after discussing with Zidian Ancestor and Ancestor Chufa, he said.
"Now the price has changed to sixty million top-grade Spirit Crystals!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Tianyun’s face fell.
Sixty million top-grade Spirit Crystals was an astronomical price.
The cost of acquiring the Three Lights Divine Water was close to thirty million top-grade Spirit Crystals.
And the Ji Family still had five True Immortals in the hands of the Eastern Continent Emperor.
That would be three hundred million top-grade Spirit Crystals.
As he hesitated, Qing Yuan Ancestor added:
"Plus, a Ji Family legitimate daughter must marry over!"
Upon hearing these words, Ji Tianyun’s eyes brightened, and his previously furrowed brows relaxed as he accepted without hesitation.
"On behalf of the Ji Family, I agree!"
He was afraid that Qing Yuan Ancestor would change his mind.
"Senior Brother, why did you give him a discount?"
Beside him, Ancestor Chufa slightly frowned.
Zhang Jian, as an Innate Emperor, had countless female immortals willing to become his concubine, so there was no need to favor the Ji Family.
However, he could guess Qing Yuan Ancestor’s thinking.
For the sake of the Saint King great enterprise.
The Ji Family occupies the Southern Divine Continent.
Its power is vast.
If they could win over the Ji Family in advance, it would indeed reduce many obstacles.
Qing Yuan Ancestor said.
"Spending a fortune to acquire a precious steed!"
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Chufa cast a peculiar glance at Qing Yuan Ancestor.
Could it be that his senior brother still hoped Zhang Jian could achieve the Saint King Dao Skill through marriage...
Meanwhile, a powerful immortal aside transmitted a message.
"Our Celestial Will Sect is willing to send Yun Jiang to the Great Xia Dynasty, to marry the Great Xia Emperor!"
...
Above the firmament, as waves of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism gathered, the process gradually came to an end.
In the West Palace, under the Taiyin Treasure Tree,
infinite purple clouds and auspicious energies dispersed, and the women present were all filled with awe, witnessing a majestic Emperor shrouded in Innate Divine Light emerging from the broken wooden house.
He appeared as if a divine being born of Heaven and Earth, vast and awe-inspiring, his entire body wrapped in endless Immortal Divine Light, with a grand innate glow forming a halo behind him, as if born from the Great Dao.
Divine might surged, sweeping across the Divine Land.
Zhang Jian opened his eyes, sensing the changes in his Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness and Immortal Body, and couldn’t help but reveal a trace of joy in his eyes.
Benefiting from that ’Celestial Blood,’ his gains were beyond imagination.
Not only did he form the Primordial Undying Dao Body, but he also reversed the innate, transforming from the Innate Dao Embryo into the Innate Body.
He now seemed to have been born from the metamorphosis within the Great Dao, an Innate God.
