Above the Demon-slaying Peak.
"Master, congratulations on becoming the next Earth Immortal of the Tongshan Dao Lineage. Your future ahead is vast!"
True Monarch Zhanmo glanced at Zhang Jian and sneered, "You cunning rascal, what is a Celestial Immortal to you!"
Zhang Jian shook his head and said.
"A Celestial Immortal possesses a unique status even in all heavens and myriads of worlds, especially a Celestial Immortal like Master, with unparalleled foundations!"
Zhang Jian looked at True Monarch Zhanmo, a slight smile appearing in his eyes.
Yet, his eyes showed some shifts.
He did not know how much of True Monarch Zhanmo’s decision to become an Earth Immortal was voluntary, or if it was because of him.
However, True Monarch Zhanmo becoming an Earth Immortal is beneficial to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Before he ascends, he must send away part of the Immortals of the Great Xia Dynasty to avoid too many loose ends, also aiding the Crown Prince in controlling this vast entity that is the Great Xia Dynasty.
But after sending away the Immortals, the control of the Great Xia Dynasty over the Five Continents will inevitably decline, even causing backlash.
The Crown Prince, after all, is not himself, the Saint King, possessing the martial might to suppress all.
But the existence of True Monarch Zhanmo is of great significance to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Isn’t a Celestial Immortal an exceptionally strong support!
At this moment, the eyes of True Monarch Zhanmo fell on Zhang Jian, sensing the terrifying divine power emanating from him, she candidly asked.
"Ah Yu, to what extent has your Dao Practice reached?"
Her eyes were somewhat solemn.
"Why do I feel that your Dao Practice even surpasses Elder Qing Yuan and Master?"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly and nodded gently.
"Over these three thousand years, I had some fortunate breakthroughs!"
Among the Dao Realm of Qing Yuan Ancestor and Ancestor Chufa, he vaguely sensed it just now.
Qing Yuan Ancestor should be entering the Taiyi Realm.
Ancestor Chufa had already stepped into the Taiyi Realm three thousand years ago, and the accumulation over three thousand years has become even more robust, but still far from the Taiyi True Number.
Yet the support of great fortune over three thousand years made his cultivation speed far surpass the average Taiyi Immortal.
Now, it is entirely comparable to those who have accumulated in the Taiyi Realm for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years.
This is the benefit of supporting the Holy Court.
It can entirely shorten the arduous cultivation of tens of thousands, or even millions of years.
Fortune is sought in danger!
Not only these two Second Generation Ancestors, as the Tongshan Dao Lineage was ordained as the National Religion by the Great Xia Dynasty, the number of people who have become immortals in the past few thousand years is equal to the total of the previous era, and even a bit more.
However, the greatest beneficiaries were still the direct lineage of Demon-slaying Peak.
The patriarch Ancestor Chufa, his master True Monarch Zhanmo, and other disciples of Demon-slaying Peak.
True Monarch Zhanmo snorted softly and said.
"Be more specific!"
Zhang Jian said.
"Still a bit short of the Taiyi True Number Realm!"
"Taiyi True Number!"
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Zhanmo couldn’t help but widen her eyes; such progress is simply astonishing.
The Taiyi True Number is a legendary realm for immortals like them.
It’s an existence to be looked up to.
The Taiyi Realm is already sufficient for many Celestial Immortals to hone for millions of years, not to mention the Taiyi True Number Realm.
"I really wish I could open your Spirit Platform and see exactly how you’ve cultivated to progress so rapidly!"
True Monarch Zhanmo sighed.
After thinking for a bit, she asked again.
"Then, after ascending, have you decided your destination?"
Zhang Jian nodded.
After a thorough analysis, he had made a plan, which was to first enter the Fire Cloud Cave of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm for a period of secluded cultivation, and then proceed to the Central Celestial Realm.
This is the best choice.
Zhang Jian did not intend to keep this a secret and mentioned it casually. True Monarch Zhanmo nodded.
At this time, she looked at Zhang Jian, a smile appearing on her face.
The heights Zhang Jian has achieved now have long surpassed her, even Ancestor Chufa, but she only feels joy for Zhang Jian.
The master and disciple chatted idly for a while, during which several Daoists arrived outside the Demon Slaying Hall after getting word.
"Junior Brother Zhang!"
Seeing Zhang Jian’s figure, the several Daoists all showed somewhat happy expressions.
Leading was the second senior brother Daoist Chuyunzi, followed by the third senior brother Yun Tianhe, and the fourth senior sister Hua Wanzi.
It was the first senior brother Chi General who was absent at that moment.
At this point, the lineage of Demon-slaying Peak had a change in leadership, now led by the second senior brother Chuyunzi.
In three thousand years, this second senior brother’s Dao Practice rose sharply, reaching the Primordial Spirit True Monarch Realm recently.
And the third senior brother Yun Tianhe, fourth senior sister Hua Wanzi have also achieved Grand Perfection in the Creation Realm, proving the Longevity Body.
There was an undeniable sense of protection by the Destiny of the Demon-slaying Peak lineage in this.
Those present were well aware of this fact, otherwise, the fourth generation’s five disciples of the Demon-slaying Peak lineage would not have unanimously broken through the Reincarnation Life and Death Tribulation, attaining the Path of Longevity.
Zhang Jian’s expression carried a smile; although he did not assume the posture of a Saint King, there was an inherent emperor-like majesty about him, inevitably causing his senior brother and sister to feel a bit constrained, even the Iron-heart Chuyunzi could feel a distinct aura when facing his Junior Brother, the Saint King, akin to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth manifesting before his eyes, lofty and unreachable.
Seeing this, True Monarch Zhanmo quickly dispersed everyone.
She seemed to have something to discuss with Zhang Jian.
The master and disciple then walked side by side out of the hall.
At this time, True Monarch Zhanmo had a solemn look and said.
"Ah Yu, do you still remember the incarnation of a Demon Monarch you killed three thousand years ago?"
Zhang Jian glanced at True Monarch Zhanmo, slightly frowning.
He certainly remembered this event; precisely because of it, he was able to intimidate many Immortal Sects Dao Lineages at once, creating the prerequisite for the Great Xia Dynasty to unify the Five Continents bloodlessly.
