Zhou Mountain Realm, Haojing City.
Over more than twenty thousand years, Haojing City has undergone rounds of expansions, standing like a colossal figure looking out from the Capital Region, and seemingly level with the Celestial Pole Land.
The magnificent Immortal City resembles the kingdom of the Immortal Gods.
Countless rays of brilliance descend from the heavens, and the Void Shifting Array around the Immortal City, along with the Realm Shifting Grand Array, are continuously active.
One can also see columns of troops filled with iron-blooded Evil Qi composed of Cultivators and mingled with deities, patrolling the surroundings.
In the distance, a stream of light pauses in the void, a soft red Divine Light circulates around her, and upon closer observation, it seems numerous worldly fumes are merging into her frame, flowing through her skirts, with seven-colored Immortal Light, appearing as if it can obscure the Power of the Primordial Spirit of endless beings between heaven and earth.
In her eyes, the Red Vein Fire Dragon over Haojing City grows increasingly massive.
Emperor Taiwu Zhang Zhao inherited the legacy from the Great Xia Emperor and within a very short time subdued many Immortal Sect Dao Lineages within the Five Great Divine Continents, gradually dissolving many Dukes within the Great Xia Dynasty, absorbing them into the vast power structure of the empire, and willingly turning them into vanguards for the Great Xia Empire’s expansion into the Outer World.
Thanks to this, over two thousand years of reign still makes the Great Xia Empire’s rule radiant as the sun!
"The Emperor indeed had a keen eye, this Wu Emperor was silent as Crown Prince, yet upon accession became a generation of Heroic Monarch, with such a wise lord overseeing, the Great Xia Dynasty can still prosper for tens of thousands of years!"
The Female Immortal in colorful attire mused inwardly.
However, in this vast empire, she is also a beneficiary.
With the convenience of the Great Xia Dynasty ruling the heavens, she gradually restored the power of the Paradise Immortal Spirit Map, deriving from it a grand Paradise Demon Realm.
Her Dao Heart tempered by numerous Demonic Thoughts, her Dao Practice too steadily increased.
And gradually touched upon a thread of the Taiyi Realm’s mysteries.
In her brow’s center, strands of power condense, harmonizing into a Dao Fruit’s shadow.
The Innate Dao Qi she comprehends, related to soul, mind, and the aspirations of all beings.
In more than two thousand year periods, her Dao Practice progress to this extent isn’t considered slow, though compared to the other two National Guardian Immortals of the Great Xia Empire, Ji Family still has some frustration.
Zhang Yi and Zhang Xian’s progress is truly swift.
Their achievement of the Celestial Immortal Realm occurred after hers, yet in over two thousand years of cultivation, they have already touched upon the Taiyi Dao Fruit, especially Zhang Yi crossing the Taiyi Realm ahead of time.
His skill at wielding Innate Wind and Thunder Power has gained some notoriety even in the Outer World.
After Zhang Xian attained the Great Success of the Innate Dao Embryo Body, he had other opportunities outside the realm, likewise progressing rapidly, only half a step away from the Taiyi Realm.
Ji Family secretly sighed.
However, precisely due to their presence, it can stabilize the situation of the Great Xia Empire, always maintaining the Great Xia Empire’s grand expansion strategy.
At this moment, her gaze falls inside Haojing City, which should be bustling.
After thousands of years of tugging, Emperor Taiwu Zhang Zhao finally decides on the Crown Prince among several True Immortal Princes.
These Princes have shadows of various forces behind them, Emperor Taiwu Zhang Zhao has been quite troubled trying to balance the larger agenda these years.
Just then, Ji Family’s expression suddenly changes, and she sees a stream of light breaking through the void, it is a Cyan Falcon transmitting a message, a Spirit Beast with Cyan Bird bloodline, very fast in flight, extremely loyal and reliable.
At this moment the Cyan Falcon drops a piece of communication into Ji Family’s hand, it does not leave, instead, it flutters its wings, glaring at Ji Family, Ji Family raises her hand releasing several Essence Pills, the Cyan Falcon chirps happily, transforming into a cyan whirlwind scooping up the Elixir, soon flying away.
Ji Family doesn’t bother with the bird, merely glancing at it slightly, her enchanting gaze ripples uncontrollably, her figure transforms into a stream of light flying towards the Imperial Palace.
...
Tongshan Dao Lineage, Zhang Yi sits beneath the Demon Slaying Hall, sitting grandly on the Master’s Chair, with one hand supporting his head, eyes vacant, yet his mind is already outside the sky, above the head seat of Zhanmo Lineage’s Chuyunzi arranging the next Outer World exploration mission, glimpsing Zhang Yi’s demeanor, he couldn’t help shaking his head.
This disciple returning already gives him face, he doesn’t demand this disciple to pay attention.
Just then, a cyan stream of light breaks through outside the Demon Slaying Hall, instantly grasped by Zhang Yi with precision.
Regardless of the Cyan Falcon’s impatience, he grabs the leg of this bird, extracting the message from its belly space with a hobby-like delight, yet merely glimpsing the message in his hand, Zhang Yi’s eyes instantly brighten, immediately spirited.
"The old man went to the Outer World!"
His figure transforms into a vivid blue Divine Thunder soaring out of the Demon Slaying Hall, ignoring the gaze of other Immortals, leaving only a voice echoing in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man is returning, I must go see him, the conference postponed!"
"The old man?"
At this moment, the Immortals in the hall are somewhat perplexed, but then seem to understand.
The one being called an old man by Zhang Yi surely isn’t anyone else.
This is the Ancient and Modern Saint King of the Great Xia, Human Emperor.
"Fifth Junior Brother arrived at the Outer World..."
At this moment atop the Demon Hall’s head seat, Chuyunzi adorned with Tai Chi Lotus Crown, wearing a Daoist Robe, his face appearing middle-aged, his presence vast and majestic, he has already attained the Celestial Immortal Realm.
