"Among the four Earth Immortals, our Tongshan Dao Lineage has two, aside from me, there’s your Uncle Zidian!"
"Isn’t Elder Qing Yuan one of them?"
Zhang Jian’s expression revealed some surprise.
Ancestor Chufa shook his head.
"Your Elder Qing Yuan doesn’t reside in this realm regularly. He returned this time entirely because of you. Your Elder Qing Yuan’s domain is vast and prospering, far better than your grandmaster and I!"
At this point, Ancestor Chufa felt genuine envy.
Beside them, Ancestor Zidian wore a somewhat helpless expression and said,
"Ninth Brother, don’t be too modest. You two are doing far better than I am. The Fourth Brother has a substantial domain beyond this world, but you’re not lacking either, with a Dao Lineage inheritance outside and a flourishing lineage in the Demon-slaying Peak within. Only I am stuck fighting aimlessly, trapped in a troubled city!"
Zhang Jian listened silently beside them.
But from the words of these Second Generation Ancestors, it seemed Elder Qing Yuan and his own master had Dao Lineage existences outside this realm.
And Elder Qing Yuan’s Dao Lineage appeared to be considerably large.
Ancestor Chufa looked at Zhang Jian again and said,
"Besides these, there are other Earth Immortals; one being the Lord of the Sheji Divine Dao, the Sheji Emperor!"
"The Sheji Emperor isn’t precisely a regular Earth Immortal. He is also a Divine Dao Emperor, his status far surpassing us other three Immortals!"
Regarding this Emperor of the Sheji Divine Dao, he was not inclined to comment further.
"And another resides in the Dragon Palace, emerging from the Dragon Race!"
Zhang Jian’s eyes subtly shifted.
"Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race?"
Ancestor Chufa’s eyes sparkled, smiling as he looked at Zhang Jian and said,
"Ah Yu, why did you think of the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race before the Qingping Sea Dragon Race?"
Zhang Jian’s heart moved, indicating he guessed correctly.
He smiled and said,
"Because although the Qingping Sea Dragon Race is strong, it lacks certain confidence when facing our Immortal Sect Dao Lineage, unlike the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race which remains aloof from worldly matters!"
Within this realm are two legitimate Dragon Races: the Qingping Sea Dragon Race, and the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race.
In legends, the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race originated from an ancient Dragon Race that fell into the realm during ancient times.
The Qingping Sea Dragon Race is the true native dragon.
But in reality, the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race is more transcendent.
Zhang Jian had heard fellow sect members comment that the inheritance of the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race subtly surpasses that of the Qingping Sea Dragon Race, only the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race being more low-key.
Ancestor Chufa gently nodded.
"Indeed, the last Earth Immortal resides with the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race. They uphold the Divine Dao Legacy from beyond the realm, yet it’s a legitimate divine path!"
"You’ll have opportunities in the future to interact with the Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race. The Ao Clan Dragon Race isn’t as easy to deal with as the Qingping Sea Dragon Race!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s eyes shifted.
After observing the spring, Zhang Jian began preparations to repair the eighteen Cloud-Piercing Giant Towers.
Regarding whether Zhang Jian could repair the eighteen Demon Cloud Giant Towers, cultivators from other Immortal Sect Dao Lineages and even some from the Saint King’s Family held suspicions.
Many Immortal Sect Dao Lineages and immortals from Saint King’s Family clearly understood the arduous nature of this task and also knew the benefits if accomplished.
Dissipating the Heaven and Earth Tribulation would surely earn Heaven’s favor, with opportunities descending.
Certainly, the immortals were truly unable to contest on this matter against the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
In terms of strength, the Tongshan Dao Lineage had two Ancient Immortals arrive, alongside an Innate Emperor, dominating the field.
In terms of influence, Ancestor Chufa, Ancestor Zidian, and the Eastern Continent Emperor’s influence far surpassed other immortals.
However, concerning opportunities, the immortals were unwilling to easily relinquish them.
Everyone was waiting for Zhang Jian to reveal flaws during the repair work, so they could object.
If this Great Xia Emperor delayed the Ancient Demon Spring Forbidden Technique’s repair, other immortals as alliance members would reasonably object.
But this thought vanished once Zhang Jian entered the Dharma Ban.
Zhang Jian’s proficiency with such rare runes as the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Talisman was exceedingly high.
His repair speed was rapid, able to extrapolate, and in a short time further optimized the powerful sealing magical prohibition surrounding the Cloud-Piercing Giant Tower.
"This was quite the oversight. Had I known, even if risking offending the Tongshan Dao Lineage’s two Ancient Immortals, I should have opposed this Emperor overseeing the repair work!"
Outside the forest, numerous observing immortals watched this scene with silent frustration.
They might not be all adept in the Rune Forbidden Technique.
But they couldn’t allow others to benefit at their expense.
To many immortals, this felt exceptionally vexing.
Yet by now, matters were set in stone. Though they wished to oppose, they were powerless!
After all, thin arms cannot wrestle with thick legs!
"It seems Ah Yu’s proficiency in the path of runes is even higher than we imagined!"
Beside the giant tower, Ancestor Chufa and Ancestor Zidian observed Zhang Jian’s method of repairing and optimizing the prohibitions around the Cloud-Piercing Giant Tower.
Exceptionally practiced.
Flowing like clouds and water, pleasing to the eye.
Not only did he completely restore the damaged prohibitions.
He further solidified and optimized.
The prohibitions resembled hundreds of giant serpents slithering around the tower, possessing abilities to absorb, devour, transform, store, and isolate.
These eighteen towers could absorb and transform the demonic evil qi from the upper valley Demon Spring through eighteen special storage and transformation devices, converting the violent Power of Demonic Evil within to relatively gentle Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, part of which maintains tower operation, and another part channels into the tower’s storage space, forming eighteen special Spiritual Mechanism Spaces.
Within those eighteen Spiritual Mechanism Spaces, the Spiritual Mechanism indeed contained a portion of the demonic evil power, but after transformation and purification, was much better than the pure demonic evil from the Demon Spring.
