Ancestor Chufa feigned mystery and laughed.
"Though I miss, I do not regret!"
"You might not know that the leader of Qingqiu Immortal Land, Lady Qingqiu, is my teacher and your Ancestral Master’s Dao Companion. If you encounter a female immortal of the Qingqiu Race, remember not to let family members be strangers to one another!"
Zhang Jian adopted an expression of ’sudden realization’ and then said.
"Ancestral Master, I had also heard of the name Qingqiu while in the Lower Realm. There is also a Qingqiu in the Zhou Mountain Realm, dominated by the lineage of the Celestial Fox Palace, which is the main base of the Celestial Fox Race!"
Ancestor Chufa gently stroked his beard, also enjoying boasting such ’secrets’ to Zhang Jian!
"You’re not wrong. Lady Qingqiu herself is a goddess of the Ancient Celestial Fox Race, and indeed, they are considered her people!"
"I see! Luckily, when I last entered the Barbaric Region, I didn’t accidentally wipe out the Celestial Fox Palace, or else that would have been quite the blunder!"
Ancestor Chufa shook his head and said.
"That wouldn’t matter. In the All Heavens Void, there are numerous celestial foxes under the name of Qingqiu, but not every group is favored by Lady Qingqiu!"
"If there’s no Dharma Seal from Lady Qingqiu, you can go ahead and act; she won’t hold it against you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded.
Then, Ancestor Chufa talked about the rules of secluded cultivation in Fire Cloud Cave.
"Ah Yu, it is customary that immortals possessing the Human Emperor’s Position are invited to cultivate in Fire Cloud Cave for three thousand years after their ascension. This is the attention given by the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly to leaders of the Human Race among the heavens. However, the duration isn’t always exactly three thousand years. According to the strategies I’ve provided, if you’re successful, you might be able to stay there for twenty or thirty thousand years!"
At this point, Ancestor Chufa sighed slightly.
"The depths of Fire Cloud Cave are a wonderful place. Cultivating there for one year is worth ten, even a hundred years elsewhere. It contains the Dao rhythm left by the human emperors of the heavens, along with ancient ultimate arts. With your accumulation, if you could reside there for twenty or thirty thousand years, it would surely benefit you for life!"
Hearing Ancestor Chufa speak so cautiously, Zhang Jian indeed developed great interest in the legendary Fire Cloud Cave.
In the legends of the Human Race, Fire Cloud Cave is a holy land of the Human Race in the All Heavens Void.
It contains rich and mysterious elements.
It’s known that all the human emperors in the All Heavens Void have stayed there and left their ultimate arts and imprints.
With Ancestor Chufa sharing various secrets of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm and the Central Celestial Realm along the journey, Zhang Jian felt the trip was anything but dull and was rather intrigued.
Subsequently, everyone proceeded to Qingqiu Immortal Palace to meet Lady Qingqiu, an elder of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Unfortunately, Lady Qingqiu had recently accepted an invitation from an ancient female immortal to visit the Central Celestial Realm as a guest.
Thus, everyone did not linger long in Qingqiu Palace.
Qingqiu Immortal Mountain stands beneath a gigantic ancient tree reaching the sky and the earth.
The wondrous ancient tree is lush and towering, and beneath it lies a grand divine city.
The divine city primarily houses demon cultivators, most of whom are fox race cultivators.
They traveled directly through a space portal in the divine city, crossing the endless void, arriving before a grand divine city.
It was a grand divine city, standing as if on a vast earth, a city filled with countless space-time realms and innumerable sacred pure lands.
Every part of the space-time flows with tremendous and majestic divine power.
Inside, countless mysterious secret lands are nurtured.
Vast beyond imagination.
It seems, at a glance, that there are countless billions of people of the Human Race living within.
Such a divine city can even make many Immortal Gods feel dizzy.
At this time, many surrounding Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals, their entire bodies flowing with intense Immortal Dao Law shadows, were patrolling, with military discipline strict and Dao Practice profound.
At a glance, there are thousands and thousands of them, and these are just the Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals patrolling the outskirts.
Inside the innumerable space-time realms, the number of stationed strong ones is overwhelming.
"They are actually all True Immortals, and there are even Celestial Immortals. Immortal Gods have become so abundant here?"
Many senior ministers of Great Xia swept their gazes over, only feeling their scalps tingle.
The other five Second Generation Ancestors merely smiled slightly upon seeing this scene. Among them, the Red Robe Master Red Eyebrow smiled heartily, looking at Zhang Jian and said.
"Ah Yu, this is the central area of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, Three Emperors City. We each have our responsibilities here, so we can only escort you this far. We need to attend the Three Emperors Sale hosted in Three Emperors City, and it’s said there are many treasures emerging this time. If you are interested, you should have a look as well!"
Beside him, several other Daoists also nodded slightly.
They arrived at the Three Emperors Celestial Realm mostly for this event, and meeting Zhang Jian was a secondary matter.
Of course, they were also curious about Zhang Jian himself.
But now that they’ve met him in person, there’s no rush to get closer.
Zhang Jian nodded immediately.
Many cultivators beside him were still greatly astonished by this scene.
Such a grand divine city was something they had never seen in their lives, even for some who had traveled through the Outer Void.
Their figures flew swiftly, and shortly they arrived before the city gate.
There were another thousand Celestial Soldiers and Divine Generals guarding before the city gate. After descending, Ancestor Chufa handed over credentials to Zhang Jian from within his sleeve, then led Zhang Jian and the group to their lodging in Three Emperors City.
Zhang Jian was set to head towards Fire Cloud Cave next, while everyone else was settled within Three Emperors City.
Here lies a base of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Once Zhang Jian completes his cultivation in Fire Cloud Cave, he will then lead everyone to the Emperor’s Mansion in the Central Celestial Realm.
It’s said that Zhang Jian’s Ling Yuan Emperor’s Mansion is currently under construction.
The Tongshan Dao Lineage’s base in Three Emperors City is quite serene, located deep within an area known as the Celestial Cauldron Realm.
This Celestial Cauldron Realm is presently under the control of a Tianding Immortal Monarch under the Tongshan Dao Lineage of the Celestial Realm.
Tianding Immortal Monarch is a disciple of the Sect Leader Tianhe Master of the Tongshan Dao Lineage of the Celestial Realm.
He is a great power immortal of the Taiyi Realm.
The Celestial Cauldron Realm is currently at its peak.
The residence is located within one of its grotto heaven secret lands, filled with extraordinarily abundant Innate Spiritual Mechanism.
Furthermore, it seems this place is a convergence of Dragon Qi within the Celestial Cauldron Realm, enabling insight into the Dao melody of the Heaven and Earth Law flowing within Three Emperors City, significantly beneficial for everyone’s cultivation.
Evidently, these resources were certainly arranged by Tianding Immortal Monarch.
Out of customary courtesy, Zhang Jian immediately accepted the reception dinner hosted by Tianding Immortal Monarch for everyone.
Afterwards, he and Ancestor Chufa headed in the direction of Fire Cloud Cave.
On the way, Ancestor Chufa mentioned Tianding Immortal Monarch with a smile.
"Ah Yu, Tianding Nephew is your senior uncle in a certain way. Although he is from the Human Race of the Outer Void, he achieved enlightenment very early and is quite warm-hearted. Impressively, he is exceptionally familiar with the affairs of Three Emperors City. If we are not around, you can consult with him!"
Zhang Jian nodded upon hearing this.
He had a rather favorable impression of Tianding Immortal Monarch.
Although he is smooth in manner and adept at dancing gracefully with long sleeves, he is a truly talented figure, possessing a distinctive charisma.
Fire Cloud Cave is the core of Three Emperors City, reportedly established during the Five Taichu Era, before the formation of heaven and earth, cloaked with unbounded great fortunes of the Emperor Dao.
Soon, Ancestor Chufa led Zhang Jian to a grand palace.
"Ancestral God Hall!"
Gazing at the hall before him, Zhang Jian slightly frowned, yet still followed Ancestor Chufa’s lead inside.
This was the place for registration.
Whenever an Ancient Saint King entered the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven, they must register here first, after which the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly would process the application and subsequently open the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven.
Zhang Jian noticed that the Ancestral God Hall enshrined many saints of the Human Race, including the ancient Three Emperors, Emperor Sui of the Sui Ren Clan, Emperor Chao of the Youchao Clan, and Madam Ziyi.
Taking advantage of a brief moment of waiting, Zhang Jian casually picked up a few incense sticks from beside him and lit them, as a gesture of respect to the Ancestor Gods of the Human Race.
Zhang Jian only waited briefly in the Ancestral God Hall before receiving news that his application had been approved.
Countless divine lights surged from within the Ancestral God Hall, forming a grand purple light passageway.
Ancestor Chufa watched this scene with a smile and said.
"Ah Yu, this is the entrance to Fire Cloud Cave. Once you enter Fire Cloud Cave, everything will rely on yourself!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian nodded slightly. He did not hesitate and stepped into the purple light confidently.
