His enlightenment has been nearly ten thousand years ago.
At this moment, several True Immortals in the great hall also showed expressions of joy.
Chi Jiang Daoist and Hua Wanzi, the two elders of Demon-slaying Peak, wore happy expressions.
Chi Jiang Daoist stood up and said.
"Senior Brother Shouzuo, we must notify Master immediately!"
Chuyunzi nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the older-looking Tie Xin Daoist.
"Uncle Tie Xin, please use the Secret Technique to notify Master!"
Tie Xin Daoist also showed a bit of joy in his deep eyebrows at this time and nodded quickly.
...
In the Imperial City, the Immortals were gathering.
In the Imperial Study, Emperor Taiwu Zhang Zhao had a majestic face, appearing to be in his middle age now. Although his appearance had transformed into a more dignified middle-aged look, his outstanding looks remained undeniable, and he carried even more of the unique maturity of middle age.
Sitting on the dragon throne, he did not display domineering majesty, but rather an elegance full of scholarly quality. His eyes were filled with the brilliance of wisdom, yet considering the deeds of Emperor Taiwu over the years, no one dared to underestimate this imposing emperor, instead viewing him as an unfathomable vast ocean.
Beside him, the Empress of the Central Palace, Empress Si, had a graceful appearance radiating an aura befitting a mother of the land, with a Nine-headed Divine Phoenix condensing in a domineering manner behind the Phoenix Style.
Looking at the immortals with various temperaments in front of the Imperial Study, Empress Si smiled and said.
"Master Ancestor, Imperial Consort, Honorable Princes of the Sea Regions, indeed, Father Emperor has returned. Not long ago, we received news from the Outer World that Father Emperor appeared in the Cyan Mountain Realm and brought back a mortal from a Great Realm. The Cyan Mountain Realm is quite lively now!"
"Did Ah Yu mention how long he plans to stay?"
The eyes of True Monarch Zhanmo also showed ripples, and beside him, Zidian Ancestor appeared somewhat surprised.
He rushed over upon receiving the news.
I heard that after Zhang Jian entered the Celestial Realm, he spent over twenty thousand years in the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven, and when he emerged, his Dao Practice soared, making him already renowned in the Celestial Realm.
Rumors from the Three Emperors Celestial Realm suggested that Zhang Jian might reach the Daoist Monarch Realm in less than a million years.
Achieving the status of a Daoist Monarch in a million years is a highly esteemed evaluation.
Zidian Ancestor was also very curious about this.
Zhang Zhao welcomed the gazes of the Immortals with a smile and said.
"Father Emperor did not mention this; he merely asked us to go to the Outer World to meet him!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi responded directly.
"What are we waiting for then? Let’s head to the Cyan Mountain Realm on the Cross-Boundary Grand Array immediately!"
After a slight pause, he added.
"From what I know about the old man, he wouldn’t return for no reason; there must be good news!"
Listening to his words, the Immortals couldn’t help but chuckle.
Beside him, Zhang Xian glanced at this brother. Although this brother was carefree and unrestrained, he was meticulous deep down, and this time, he might actually be right.
Zhang Jian has always paid much attention to the mundane Great Xia Dynasty.
This time, with the Great Xia Dynasty having resolved previous hidden dangers, Zhang Jian actually had no need to come in person.
Given this, the likelihood of benefits for the Immortals was naturally very high.
Zhang Zhao smiled slightly and said.
"This is precisely why I’ve communicated with you all!"
A slight smile appeared in Zhang Zhao’s eyes, and there were hints of anticipation.
It wasn’t really for any benefits, but more so because he hoped to continue to hear his Father Emperor’s teachings.
After becoming the Great Xia Emperor, he realized how much invaluable intangible wealth Zhang Jian had left him.
Thousands of years of guidance had solved many problems for him in ways he didn’t even realize.
And after twenty thousand years, many questions lingered in his heart; he was therefore more eager to receive Zhang Jian’s guidance.
...
The Cyan Mountain Realm, an ordinary realm.
It was located in the Star River not far from the Zhou Mountain Realm.
The Zhou Mountain Realm’s initial expansion army first occupied this realm.
Its value was not high because of low Origin and thin Spiritual Qi, and it often lingered in the End of the Dharma Era.
Though there were cultivators inside, their numbers were few.
However, the Great Xia Dynasty intended to use this as a reserve resource base, continuously developing it over the years, allowing its Origin to grow steadily, and its Spiritual Qi was slowly recovering.
After Zhang Jian arrived, he first reconstructed a continent on one side of the Cyan Mountain Realm with Great Magical Power. This continent was far from the other six continents of the Cyan Mountain Realm. Then he set up a separate Barrier, after which he released numerous mortals from the Jade Glaze Realm, as well as some Immortal Gods, instructing them to follow the arrangements of the Great Xia Dynasty thereafter.
The Great Xia Dynasty had developed many realms, so settling the Immortal Gods from the Jade Glaze Realm was not an issue.
Zhang Jian planned to take away the elites of the Jade Glaze Realm, and the remaining parts of the Immortal Sect Dao Lineage would naturally integrate into the Great Xia Dynasty’s expansion army.
At this time, outside the Cyan Mountain Realm, several Immortals were gathered around Zhang Jian. Among them was Huang Yuan Daoist, dressed in yellow and leaning on a cane, resembling a Land God, who surveyed this Great Realm and said.
"Though the Spiritual Qi in this realm is thin, it thrives with vitality, nourishing all living creatures. To find such a realm as a refuge after escaping the Jade Glaze Realm, we are rather fortunate!"
Beside him, Master Tian Ning, Nine Seas Daoist, and Tiankui Daoist all nodded slightly, with hints of relief in their gazes.
They recalled the scene of the Jade Glaze Realm’s collapse, still causing their Dao Hearts to tremble uncontrollably.
That scene was indeed too shocking.
Even many Ancient Immortals did not escape from such a great catastrophe.
They were lucky to have survived and found a place to settle, leaving them with no complaints.
