The Reincarnation Divine Stone holds immense value, containing the reincarnation mark from a collapsed Reincarnation Netherworld.
It is like a ’backup data’ of one aspect of reincarnation, all contained within.
For an immortal god like Zhang Jian, who traverses two paths, it is indeed an item for enlightenment.
He calmly settled his mind, using the Method of Manipulating Creation to refine more mysteries of the Reincarnation Divine Stone, merging it into the Mysterious Nine Nether Life and Death Golden Seal.
As it melted, a layer of Nine Nether Divine Light transformed around him, and behind him, a Nine Nether River seemed to manifest, while within, a grand and vast wheel emerged, displaying countless ghost gods surrounding and worshiping around the Reincarnation Disc.
At the core, the Reincarnation Divine Stone emitted a strong dim light, with layers of divine light flowing into the core of the Reincarnation Disc, gradually enhancing the divine light emanating from the Reincarnation Disc.
...
Three Emperors City.
Celestial Cauldron Realm.
Tongding Province, Tongluo Mansion.
Inside and outside the City Lord’s Mansion, lanterns and decorations were recently set up, as City Lord Zhang Qi was receiving guests from all over. In the main hall, another pair of newlyweds was bowing, for it was the eldest legitimate son of City Lord Zhang Qi.
The coming guests included high-ranking officials from the Celestial Cauldron Realm and independent cultivator True Immortals from all directions, making for a lively banquet.
The Zhang Family of Tongluo Mansion is a Celestial Immortal Clan that has arisen within the Celestial Cauldron Realm over the past five to six thousand years.
Although this Celestial Immortal Clan is not large in number, it has a considerable number of strong figures within the clan. It is rumored to be descendants of the Outer World Human Empress, drawing much attention.
At this time, as the auspicious hour arrives, dragons and phoenixes are seen flying from afar, heavenly music resounds, revealing the palanquin of a powerful member of the Celestial Cauldron Royal Family flying over.
The intermarriage between the Zhang Family of Tongluo Mansion and the Yuan Family has even alarmed the Tianding Immortal Monarch!
At this moment, in the rear residence, Zhang Yi and his wife showed an expression of some lamentation on their faces.
"It’s been over six thousand years, and time sure passes quickly!"
Beside him, Qi Ruolan rolled her eyes at Zhang Yi.
She snorted softly.
"Husband, these six thousand years have not gone to waste!"
Her voice carried a hint of sarcasm. Zhang Yi coughed awkwardly in response, a bit embarrassed, and he chuckled, saying,
"Wife, whatever do you mean? You, too, have not wasted it. Your Dao practice has increased daily, and you’re almost becoming an immortal!"
Qi Ruolan did not respond to him, maintaining a solemn expression.
Madam Qi and Madam Bai, sitting below, exchanged a glance and smiled secretly.
Throughout these millennia, Zhang Yi has frequently attracted female cultivators from other realms in the Celestial Cauldron Realm. The reputation of the Human Empress’ descendants has caught the attention of many great powers, and upon learning that Zhang Jian still cultivates in the Fire Cloud Cave, the number of female cultivators active in Tongluo Mansion increased.
Zhang Yi was inherently a flirtatious person, inevitably attracting peach blossoms, and over the millennia, he has added quite a few concubines, exceeding expectations in completing Zhang Family’s mandate to expand the lineage.
Qi Ruolan’s eyes turned towards Yu Hua and Bai Liying.
"Yu Hua, Li Ying, you are Empresses of the Great Xia Dynasty. Now that our Zhang Family has successfully established itself in Tongluo Mansion, which direction should we develop towards next? Since we’ve entered the Celestial Realm, we cannot become a burden to Ah Yu. We should resolve some minor issues for him!"
Qi Yuhua, hearing this, thought for a moment and said,
"Our Zhang Family is currently known as a Celestial Immortal Family, descendants of the Human Empress, but our basic domain is only Tongluo Province. Although Tongluo Province is affluent, it is difficult to sustain the continuous development of a Celestial Immortal Family. We need more territories, but we still don’t understand enough about the complex situations of the surrounding continents. Fortunately, the Crown Prince of the Celestial Cauldron Realm has come, and he’s usually close to our Zhang Family. We might take the opportunity to inquire a bit!"
Bai Liying, beside her, suddenly laughed, saying,
"This Crown Prince Huan is always pestering Tianxiang, but unfortunately, Tianxiang does not fancy him!"
Other Zhang Family powerhouses chuckled softly upon hearing this.
Princess Tianxiang was the daughter of Zhang Yi and the legitimate granddaughter of Madam Bai. She was a Dragon Maiden, also exceptionally talented, possessing the Innate Dao Body.
Since the establishment of the Zhang Family, many strong figures naturally would not easily let such a legitimate daughter marry out.
Moreover, from the time the Zhang Family was founded, Zhang Jian left a family creed that if the day should come when the Zhang Family needs to rely on selling daughters for survival, it would be the time when the Zhang Family has become decadent and faces extinction.
Qi Yuhua also nodded slightly.
"The Zhang Family doesn’t need to rely on intermarriage by marrying off daughters. Instead, our grandsons, with their strong will, must take on heavier responsibilities!"
Pausing slightly, Qi Yuhua looked at Bai Liying, saying,
"Sister Bai, since the Celestial Cauldron Crown Prince came himself, we’ll need you to take charge in the front garden!"
In the venue, other immortals also turned their gaze towards her.
Over these six thousand years, the Zhang Family gained two Celestial Immortals, both from the Bai lineage, Bai Nu and Bai Liying, successfully stepping into the Celestial Immortal Realm.
Other true immortals still have some distance from becoming Celestial Immortals.
Among the concubines, Madam Yun and Madam Meng are still accumulating.
Bai Liying, being Zhang Jian’s Empress of the Western Palace, was more suited for appearing before the immortals.
Otherwise, Qi Yuhua would actually be more appropriate in terms of status, but Qi Yuhua’s time in cultivation was not long, and she was still at the level of accumulating as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
The True Immortal Body has formed, but to accumulate for Celestial Immortal is a process that takes extremely lengthy years of waiting.
Bai Liying nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Qi Ruolan looked at the situation and, somewhat vexed at Zhang Yi for not living up to expectations, lightly snorted,
"Husband, look at yourself. Now the Zhang Family relies on us women to support its standing, and you, as the head of the family, aren’t you ashamed!"
Zhang Yi was dumbfounded.
He was merely a mortal, and even though his aptitude had improved at the Immortal Transformation Pool, how could he be compared with someone like Bai Liying who is akin to a Dragon God.
Bai Liying immediately stood up and walked towards the front garden.
