"Since they want to disperse our forces, let us follow their ’will’!"
Zidian Ancestor’s gaze was calm.
Ancestor Chufa nodded lightly upon hearing this.
Though their power was somewhat scattered, the location of the Celestial Heart Province today was not the entirety of the Cultivation Realm’s strength.
Within the Zhou Mountain Realm, the Immortal Sect Dao Lineage and Saint King’s Family were the main forces.
In the past ten thousand years, the recent demon tribulations within the realm have subsided. The strength of many Immortal Sect Dao Lineages has been recovering and even growing, leaving no opportunity for the Demon Dao to rise at this time.
...
In the Ancient Demon Spring, Zhang Jian was surrounded by floating Cyan Lotuses, resisting the pervasive eroding demonic evil qi of the Demon Spring, skillfully repairing the Cloud-Piercing Giant Towers.
After repairing these eighteen Cloud-Piercing Giant Towers, he had to check the condition of the suppressed Divine Artifact deep within the Ancient Demon Spring.
This was the core of calming this great tribulation.
Now, with the balance between the Ancient Demon Spring and the Forbidden Technique broken, it’s hard not to suspect there’s an issue with the suppressed Divine Artifact within.
Zhang Jian glanced into the distance.
Ji Family’s progress was swift, accumulating the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism within eight Cloud-Piercing Giant Towers’ Demon Slaughter Space within one day, faintly surrounded by a majestic Immortal Light.
That was the power of the Paradise Immortal Spirit Map.
This Tier Five Immortal Treasure had immense might, seemingly able to manifest ten thousand measures of worldly dust, cosmic desires, thus consuming the heavens and earth.
In Zhang Jian’s gaze, this Tier Five Immortal Treasure indeed possessed the potential to transform into a realm of ’Paradise Demon Realm’.
However, its ’evil nature’ was extremely strong, and Zhang Jian had to assist Ji Family to properly cultivate the Primordial Spirit Dao Heart to prevent Ji Family’s Primordial Spirit Dao Heart from being infected, falling, and becoming a Demon God that devours all beings.
Zhang Jian’s gaze fell upon Ji Family.
Ji Family’s current state was still normal, and they also possessed the Saint King Secret Technique and the Saint King’s Relics to protect their Primordial Spirit Dao Heart.
Coupled with the assistance of his "Supreme Forget Emotion Technique", there shouldn’t be any problems for now.
"After resolving this matter, we should hasten to the Ancestral Hall to reap what’s available and see if we can gather any Heaven and Earth Divine Objects to calm the mind and suppress Heart Demons!"
"If once isn’t enough, doing it multiple times will surely yield results!"
Zhang Jian secretly contemplated.
Zhang Jian’s gaze turned again to the commotion beyond the Celestial Heart Forest and the Celestial Heart Province, something he had already sensed.
He too smelled the aura of danger.
He had a thought in his mind at the time.
The purpose of those Outer Demon Gods was nothing more than to drain the demonic evil qi from the center of the Ancient Demon Spring to enhance their own Dao practice, or to completely release it and draw upon the power of millions of Celestial Demon Stars from outer realms.
To him, this was also an opportunity.
An opportunity to severely damage many Outer Demon Gods and even the local Demon Dao.
If he succeeded in this task, his Ancient Saint King would surely achieve enlightenment because of it.
With a thought, Zhang Jian formed a seal with his hands, sending a message to the True Monarch Zhanmo outside, then continued to repair the Cloud-Piercing Giant Towers before him.
Time passed.
In about three days, Zhang Jian successively renovated and optimized the Forbidden Techniques within the eighteen Cloud-Piercing Giant Towers.
Such speed was simply astounding.
According to the estimates of many Ancient Immortals, any Ancient Immortal undertaking this task would require at least half a month or even several months to restore the Forbidden Techniques within the eighteen Cloud-Piercing Giant Towers.
These Forbidden Techniques, after all, were arranged by Ancient Saints.
Their understanding of the Path of Runes far exceeded that of ordinary Immortals.
Does this great speed of the Great Xia Emperor suggest his realm has approached these Ancient Saints?
"This is truly a fortunate event for our Tongshan Dao Lineage!"
Seeing Ancestor Chufa filled with joy, Zidian Ancestor spoke.
"It’s also a fortunate event for the Zhou Mountain Realm! With Ah Yu emerging from nowhere, space for us Earth Immortals becomes much broader!"
Ancestor Chufa nodded.
Then Ancestor Chufa spoke again.
"Ah Yu’s proposal coincides with ours, but there is one thing I am still somewhat worried about!"
Zidian Ancestor’s gaze wavered.
"Brother Nine, you are worried about accidents occurring in the Ancient Demon Spring mid-course?"
Ancestor Chufa nodded, a shade of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.
"Back then, the Ancient Saint King ’King Geng’ emerged from nowhere, dominating the Zhou Mountain Realm, slaying many Outer Demon Gods including the Netherworld Demon Gods, and I personally witnessed this mighty battle, aware of the terror of this demon!"
Zidian Ancestor’s gaze wavered and smiled.
"At that time, I had not yet achieved the Immortal Dao, it was the time of Brother Nine’s Divine Techniques reaching great success!"
Ancestor Chufa’s gaze wavered and sighed.
"But that era belonged to King Geng; alone, he shone upon heaven and earth, silencing the multitudes, and we were all his foils!"
In this era of endless cosmic contention, there’s always someone leading the crowd, suppressing others to the point they can’t lift their heads.
Throughout the past eras in the Zhou Mountain Realm, many such events have occurred.
Zidian Ancestor gazed lightly and sighed.
And now Zhang Jian is precisely such a person.
The Innate Emperor body, suppressing many cultivators of his era, causing even many Ancient Immortals to defer.
Yet in this decisive moment of tribulation, having such a powerful ’ally’, ’junior’, is indeed a fortunate event for the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Ancestor Chufa’s eyes showed some seriousness in his words.
"I once personally witnessed the strength of that Netherworld Demon God, wielding authority over Earth and Profound Yin, dominating between heaven and earth, with unmatched fierce might. If not for meeting an Enlightened Ancient Saint King to suppress him, we of the Human Race might not have easily overcome this tribulation!
I worry he did not entirely perish. If he still has remnants of the Demon Soul, combined with the immeasurable demonic evil qi contained within the Ancient Demon Spring..."
