The starlight, like the Milky Way from the Ninth Heaven, washed down from the depths of the endless void, instantly reopening the Five-Colored Divine Light.
The grand pillar of light from the Ninth Heaven exploded the entire Lotus King Ruins, shrouded in starlight.
This scene was exceptionally terrifying.
Zhang Jian looked at this scene from afar, his expression also changed dramatically.
His eyes fell on the extraordinarily bright Sun Star, as well as the Big Dipper and Southern Dipper stars.
The All Stars were already powerful, and now, with three Daoist Monarch-level experts taking action, they immediately tore open the Forbidden Technique of the Lotus Ruins.
However, these Immortal Gods would be deeply disappointed.
There was likely nothing inside the Lotus King Ruins!
Zhang Jian was worried that these Daoist Monarchs, in anger and shame, might suspect him, and immediately disappeared silently.
Moments later, a myriad of silver lightning erupted from the depths of the void.
The stars at this time also saw the scene within the Lotus King Ruins.
The Lotus King Ruins were completely barren, with nothing at all, causing the stars to be furious, and they vented their anger on the nearby gods who tried to take advantage of the situation.
Beams of starlight bloomed, starting to clear the field.
Meanwhile, on the reverse side of the original Jade Glaze Realm, a thundering and earth-shattering boom appeared.
As the destructive power erupted, a grand spatial rift emerged.
A grand Purple Lotus momentarily flashed from the depths of the void, instantly vanishing into the vast All Heavens Void.
A majestic Divine Map slowly emerged from the original place, falling into a delicate hand.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia furrowed her eyebrows and appeared in place.
Zijing Demon Monarch fled!
In the end, Zijing Demon Monarch, like a trapped beast fighting back, sacrificed over half of his Dao Fruit, using a super-tier Eternal Immortal Technique to break the seal of the All Heavens Reincarnation Map and escaped!
Though he escaped, he was bound to fall from the Daoist Monarch realm, never daring to easily return to the Black Abyss Demon Realm.
The Black Abyss Demon Realm was not like the Celestial Realm, where falling from the Daoist Monarch realm at least ensured survival.
In the Black Abyss Demon Realm, however, it was far more chaotic, returning without cultivation was to court death.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia glanced at the area covered by the All Stars, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and in a flash, she transformed into a Cyan Immortal Light, traversing a large area and instantly arriving on a floating meteor in the Star River.
Zhang Jian was standing on the meteor at this time, his eyes contemplating the depths of the void dimension. Upon seeing Daoist Monarch Qingxia arrive, he quickly smiled and greeted.
"Disciple greets the ’Ancestor’!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia glanced at him, smiled, and said.
"Just call me Daoist Monarch!"
Zhang Jian’s eyes lit up, and he respectfully said, "Disciple greets Daoist Monarch!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia smiled, Zhang Jian immediately took out the peculiar Third-Grade Stone Lotus from his bosom and presented it to Daoist Monarch Qingxia: "I have not failed the mission!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia waved her hand and took the Third-Grade Stone Lotus from afar, gently playing with it, confirming it was indeed the rumored item.
At this time, Zhang Jian suddenly took out the Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map, along with several Immortal Treasures, and said.
"Daoist Monarch, these are the extra gains from the Jade Glaze Realm, please take inventory!"
Zhang Jian raised his hand and offered up the Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map.
He actually wanted to keep all these treasures, but after careful consideration, Zhang Jian chose to hand them over.
The reason was simple: after his last encounter with Daoist Monarch Qingxia, Zhang Jian carefully inquired about the Lantai Daoist Palace and Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s information in the Central Celestial Realm.
However, the information he obtained surprised him greatly.
His ancestor, besides being a renowned ’wealthy lady’ in the Central Celestial Realm, controlled the Lantai Daoist Palace, which was an important ’intelligence agency’ of the Jasper Pool Sacred Land.
She held many secrets.
This time, the Lotus King Ruins in the Jade Glaze Realm, Zhang Jian believed, was just one of many.
Zhang Jian now offering the treasures sought nothing more than hoping Daoist Monarch Qingxia would remember to call on him next time there was such an opportunity again—he demanded little!
Of course, secretly, Zhang Jian retained some items, such as the Nine-Eyed Chaos Creation Divine Spring and among the five Eternal Immortal Treasures, the Jade Bottle was quietly kept.
The Jade Bottle was the most useful Eternal Immortal Treasure among the five for him.
Of course, Zhang Jian was also betting that Daoist Monarch Qingxia would dismiss other Immortal Treasures outside the Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia glanced surprisingly at Zhang Jian, whose expression remained unchanged, seemingly filled with sincerity.
She casually picked up the Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map, giving it a glance.
While she had no innate Spiritual Treasures, such postnatal Spiritual Treasures were indeed worth more than a glance, yet now she lacked interest and simply smiled.
"Well-intentioned, but you can keep these items yourself!"
Zhang Jian couldn’t help looking up; Daoist Monarch Qingxia was even more generous than he imagined.
Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map, such postnatal Spiritual Treasure, failed to tempt her!
But this was great news for him.
If possible, he certainly wanted to keep the Nine Heavens Cyan Lotus Map, this postnatal Spiritual Treasure.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s eyes fell on Zhang Jian, her face full of a smile.
No matter the motivation, Zhang Jian’s gesture pleased her immensely.
After some thought, Daoist Monarch Qingxia looked at Zhang Jian and said.
"Do you want to return to the Zhou Mountain Realm next?"
Her eyes fell on Zhang Jian, her gaze seemingly penetrating everything, Zhang Jian calmly nodded.
"I ascended over twenty thousand years ago, I want to go back and see!"
Zhang Jian’s eyes were solemn; he knew that with his current level, it was impossible for his true body to descend to the Zhou Mountain Realm.
However, he could meet with the ministers of Great Xia outside the Zhou Mountain Realm.
Great Xia had already established a firm foundation in the Outer World.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia looked at Zhang Jian; a streak of peculiar color flashed in her eyes, and she said.
"Since so, then assist me with a small task. These Immortal Treasures and Heaven and Earth Divine Objects are your compensation. I’ll handle matters in the Celestial Realm for you. I also have the right to temporarily assign Immortal Gods to work for the Lantai Daoist Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s eyes moved, and he said.
"Disciple is willing to follow the Lantai Daoist Palace’s instructions!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia nodded slightly.
"This matter is straightforward, just rescuing someone. I have a close friend who was falsely accused and demoted to the mortal world. Now, after three reincarnations, her tribulation is looming. But I foresee she will have a fatal tribulation; you are to aid her and bring her back to the Central Celestial Realm!"
Zhang Jian nodded in agreement.
Simultaneously, he waved his hand and released Lotus Fairy and Xiaoyao Celestial Venerable.
"This one fell due to the destruction of the Jade Glaze Realm. Please, Daoist Monarch, decide what to do!"
Currently, Xiaoyao Celestial Venerable’s visage was ashen, silent.
They stood in the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and they could see the destruction of the Jade Glaze Realm.
Regardless of what happened, it was their root, destroyed due to personal ambition, it certainly shouldn’t have happened.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia said calmly,
"This matter will be judged by the Celestial Court!"
At this moment, Lotus Fairy saw the presence of Daoist Monarch Qingxia. Though they were old acquaintances, she still adhered to Celestial Court etiquette and bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Daoist Monarch!"
"Lotus Sister, there’s no need for formality between us!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia, however, casually pulled Lotus Fairy closer, gave her a glance, and said.
"Though you’ve suffered, you’ve smoothly passed the tribulation and now can enjoy carefree years once more!"
A faint smile grazed Lotus Fairy’s jade-like face, though her spirits were low.
She also glanced at Xiaoyao Celestial Venerable beside her, her beautiful eyes cold.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia saw this as well and proceeded with Lotus Fairy and Xiaoyao Celestial Venerable directly toward the Central Celestial Realm.
Zhang Jian stood in place, contemplating as he sent a letter to the Water Official Emperor, stating that he had been summoned by the Lantai Daoist Palace for a temporary task, then proceeded to the Zhou Mountain Realm.
Currently, within his Map of Mountains and Rivers were many beings from the Jade Glaze Realm, whom he planned to settle first.
He believed the Great Xia Dynasty could assist him in this regard.
As for Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s task, it was straightforward: aiding Bai Hua Fairy through her tribulation.
She was another Yaochi Flower Fairy; Zhang Jian had heard her name.
The lady was now in the Donghua Great Realm.
It was a semi-open Great Realm.
Zhang Jian planned to return to the Zhou Mountain Realm first, then head to the Donghua Great Realm.
