Zhang Jian nodded.
The group of demons from the Three Holy Countries previously attempted to launch a surprise attack on Haojing City while he was away in Ancient Yizhou. If he hadn’t spent a significant cost to invite Zidian Ancestor to oversee the city, they might have succeeded.
Zhang Jian naturally intended to settle the score with them.
Later, Qing Yuan Ancestor spoke again.
"Ah Yu, with your foundation as an Innate Emperor, your future is boundless. But if you can achieve the Saint King Dao Skill, coupled with the Saint King Dao Fruit, surpassing the Destruction Tribulation and proving the Daoist Monarch might be possible, perhaps even exceeding your Master Tianhe!"
Zhang Jian’s eyes brightened, but then he heard Qing Yuan Ancestor speak solemnly.
"Next, the Tongshan Dao Lineage will readjust plans to fully assist you in unifying the Divine Continent, completing the Saint King Dao Skill as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian rose and spoke with sincere eyes.
"The three ancestors have assisted this disciple greatly, and the sect tirelessly mediates for the disciple’s benefit. I am deeply grateful yet somewhat ashamed..."
Upon seeing this, Ancestor Chufa waved a hand and said.
"Ah Yu, no need for such words. Not only you, but other true disciples of the Tongshan Dao Lineage are treated equally by us. We will never allow other Immortals to oppress you. This is the core strength of our Tongshan Dao Lineage!"
"Additionally, assisting you in achieving the Saint King Dao Skill is a long-held aspiration of our Tongshan Dao Lineage, waiting for countless ages!"
"Since your Ancestor’s enlightenment, although the Tongshan Dao Lineage has produced many Saint King Dao cultivators, none have been born a Saint King. This has been a regret of us Second Generation disciples. If you can achieve the Saint King Dao Fruit, we might find peace in our hearts, perhaps progressing greatly in Dao Practice, and follow you in ascending to the Celestial Palace!"
Zidian Ancestor also laughed heartily and said.
"Ah Yu, since ancient times, those who support the creation of a kingdom have benefited from great luck and fortune. Even mundane cultivators are eager to support the founding rulers in establishing dominion and harmonizing Yin and Yang. If we can support you in achieving the Saint King Dao Skill, the feedback might allow us to skip one or two major realms; our elders have no reason not to strive!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Yuan Ancestor and Ancestor Chufa were both speechless.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of Zhang Jian’s mouth.
His Uncle Zidian was indeed straightforward.
Thinking it over, Zhang Jian said.
"Then, this disciple first thanks the three ancestors!"
Zidian Ancestor raised his cup and laughed.
"No need to thank, once great matters are accomplished, we can celebrate then!"
Zhang Jian also smiled lightly and raised his cup.
...
After the feast, Qing Yuan Ancestor and Zidian Ancestor hurried back to the Tongshan Dao Lineage to prepare an adjustment of the expansion plans.
Ancestor Chufa stayed behind.
This Ancestor claimed he wanted to help Zhang Jian consolidate his Dao foundation, but he was actually curious about the Divine Techniques of Zhang Jian’s Innate God.
Zhang Jian naturally desired this.
Having a Second Generation Ancestor with Dao Practice surpassing the Celestial Immortal level assist in lecturing and validating his practice is naturally far superior to solitary exploration.
Immortal Platform Palace.
At this time, Zhang Jian took the opportunity to ask Ancestor Chufa to explain the Dharma Gate of proving the Celestial Immortal.
Beneath the Immortal Platform, besides Zhang Jian, only the arriving True Monarch Zhanmo was present.
"To prove the Celestial Immortal, using the terminology of ancient Qi cultivators, is Returning to Void and Merging with Dao, where one’s divine self merges with the Great Dao, the Dao Heart is like the Celestial Heart, and my will is like the celestial will, thus naturally forming the Immortal Dao!"
Above the Immortal Platform, Ancestor Chufa sat cross-legged, with white hair and white beard, gentle eyes, surrounded by the flow of Immortal Light, directly manifesting the Great Dao Divine Power belonging to the Celestial Immortal level.
Both True Monarch Zhanmo and Zhang Jian had interacted with strong individuals at the Celestial Immortal level.
Zhang Jian even suppressed a strong individual at the Celestial Immortal level.
Now, he could perceive the uniqueness of this power.
The so-called Dao Heart, Celestial Heart, and my will like celestial will imply a complete Immortal Dao Law forming within oneself.
Unity of internal and external, Primordial Ruyi.
One can easily intervene in the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws, manipulate them while maintaining independence, without being immersed by these laws.
This is a path different from the Original Divine Dao.
On the mat, Zhang Jian pondered; after transforming his Innate Divine Body, a source similar to the Immortal Dao Law was born within him.
This is akin to the Divine Position mastered by the Incense Fire Divine Dao.
However, the Divine Position formed by the Divine Dao Authority can easily be taken away.
Innate Gods tend to form Innate Dao Patterns within themselves, following the heritage of the Innate Divine Dao, Innate Dao Patterns eventually evolve into Dao Seals, mastering an entire Dao Qi, achieving the Dao Fruit.
While Immortal Dao’s Returning to Void and Merging with Dao requires self-comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws, finding and repairing shortcomings to eventually merge into one, transcend the constraints of the Heaven and Earth Dao.
After his Immortal Dao Law amalgamates, he must seek out the Great Dao Root Source within to form the Dao Fruit, gaining Infinite Dao Practice.
Zhang Jian’s gaze fluctuated; he had already explored this step, and now, under Ancestor Chufa’s guidance, he emanated a mysterious, agile aura; his energy kept transforming, and the magnificent, vast Divine Dao glow gradually contracted, moments later he appeared like a common Daoist. Yet his gaze, when open, seemed to release a layer of eternal, Immortal Light, eternally existent.
Deep in his Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness, the Immortal Dao Law Origin as a purple-yellow sun kept spinning, ready to collapse at any time, condensing into a point of Origin Immortal Light to merge into the Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness.
However, within his Origin Immortal Light, the complete Immortal Dao Law had not yet formed a full ring; it still required some Water Grinding Skill.
