The Cyan Robed Female Immortal finally reacted at this moment, staring at the silver divine needle with a mixture of shock and anger, a trace of horror in her eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly sensed that everything within the depths of the void was reversing like a torrent of time. The silver-white starlight divine needle instantly transformed into a silver glow, piercing through the silver-white giant’s chest in a flash.
The hole ripped open, collapsing inward.
The silver-white giant’s eyes were filled with intense fear.
His terror reached the extreme, as he clearly felt that his condensed Star Dao Fruit had halted its ceaseless operation, an invisible hand covering his Primordial Spirit Body, a gentle touch transforming it into starlight, falling into the palm.
At this moment, a figure adorned with a high crown and flowing robes emerged from the void, accompanied by an indescribably beautiful Female Immortal.
As this man and woman appeared, the terrifying Starry Sky Demon God was overpowered effortlessly.
Then Zhang Jian’s eyes showed a trace of a smile, his gaze falling on the Cyan Robed Female Immortal, he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, how many times have we met now!"
The Cyan Robed Female Immortal looked at Zhang Jian’s face, her mind feeling peculiarly familiar, and soon she recalled.
"It’s you, the deceiver, aren’t you..."
The Cyan Robed Female Immortal was stunned, her words cut short, respectfully bowing immediately.
"Qing Yao of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect pays respects to Ling Yuan Emperor!"
"Seems you’ve recognized me!"
Zhang Jian’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Discovering Qing Yao Fairy’s presence was entirely unexpected.
But since he encountered an acquaintance, Zhang Jian certainly couldn’t bear to see her fall victim to the Starry Sky Demon God.
The Cyan Robed Female Immortal bit her lip.
She distinctly remembered Zhang Jian.
Years ago in Three Saints City, she first encountered Zhang Jian, who had disguised himself as a Golden Core Cultivator and fooled her.
But upon hearing the news of Three Saints City’s swift capture by the Great Xia Emperor, she had only vague suspicions.
Until later, when she was rescued by the Great Xia Emperor in the Space-Time Maze, her certainty was confirmed.
No matter what, this was the second time the Great Xia Emperor had saved her, deserving her respectful bow.
"Junior thanks the Emperor for saving my life!"
She quickly extended an invitation to Zhang Jian.
"Since the Emperor has descended to Donghua Realm, would you be willing to accompany me to the Pure Yang Immortal Sect, allowing me to fulfill my duty as host!"
Her eyes, filled with curiosity, glanced at Zhang Jian, harboring some speculations.
She had heard tens of thousands of years ago that this Zhou Mountain Realm’s Saint King had ascended to Celestial Palace, supposedly enjoying heavenly bliss, yet he was appearing within the Donghua Realm now.
She discreetly glanced at Zhang Jian’s side, at Bai Hua Fairy smiling faintly.
The Female Immortal before her was dazzling beyond measure. Even though she considered herself not lacking in beauty, she couldn’t help feeling inadequate in comparison.
Zhang Jian cast a glance at Qing Yao, his eyes showing a gentle smile as he spoke.
"The name of Pure Yang Immortal Sect I have heard, an ancient Daoist Monarch’s Dao lineage; of course, I will visit, but not now!"
Rescuing Qing Yao Fairy was a casual act, not for the Pure Yang Immortal Sect she’s affiliated with.
Just a mere Celestial Immortal, hardly capable of influencing the grand strategies of the Dao Monarchs behind the Pure Yang Immortal Sect.
Though this minor affair seemed insignificant, it could still prove advantageous.
Perhaps at a crucial moment, it might bring some unexpected surprise.
Upon Zhang Jian’s refusal of the invitation, several Immortal Gods showed some regret.
This was a bona fide Celestial Emperor.
If invited into the Pure Yang Immortal Sect, never mind the immediate benefits, just speaking of it would serve as a future invisible resource.
To talk about having once conversed with a Celestial Emperor — this news spreading, who would dare overlook them in the future.
Several Immortal Gods took their leave.
Bai Hua Fairy remarked upon witnessing this scene.
"I thought the Emperor would seize this opportunity, storming into the Pure Yang Immortal Sect, and probe their attitude among the high ranks!"
At her words, Zhang Jian shook his head in response.
"Going uninvited isn’t worthwhile!"
Bai Hua Fairy gave Zhang Jian a sidelong glance, saying.
"Then what’s your plan!"
"We wait for accurate news from the Celestial Realm, then take action!"
In Zhang Jian’s gaze, a subtle gravity appeared.
Know oneself and the enemy, a hundred battles a hundred victories!
Without understanding the Pure Yang Immortal Sect’s precise attitude, rashly approaching might put him at a disadvantage. He must see how the elders of Tongshan Dao Lineage in the Celestial Realm manage things.
Zhang Jian was optimistic about his chances of success.
He inquired about the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly and Taiqing Celestial Lineage, finding no significant enmity, while their relationship wasn’t intimate, at least they weren’t adversaries.
At this moment, Zhang Jian gazed into his palm.
Within his palm, a radiant star image shone brightly.
This was not a Star God.
Yet its origins were akin to those of a Star God.
It was a Demon God born from a segment of secondary origin within the stars.
This was a naturally born powerhouse.
It belonged to the Star Fiend Giant race.
They were naturally a group under some Innate Star Gods’ command. But as some Innate Star Gods neglected their control, many among them served as a scourge in the starry cosmos.
Their origin was not inferior to any Outer Demon God, rather, highly formidable.
Donghua Realm being entirely open brought immense traffic, but also allowed some heterodox sects, even Demon Path powerhouses, to enter from the cosmos.
