In the depths of the void, the fourth wave of emerging meteors was immediately dissolved.
Just as Zhang Jian anticipated, the meteors contained the marvelous power of heaven and earth, each meteor seemed to be endowed with the power of a realm.
Following this, there appeared to be the presence of four imposing deities of the earth element, exuding Taiyi Celestial Immortal level divine power, yet they were instantly neutralized by the Innate Yin Yang Divine Light upon manifestation.
This scene was fully captured by the Daoist Monarchs who were dining outside.
At this moment in the Pure Yang Hall, the Daoist Monarchs were seated as host and guest, with several Immortal Gods accompanying them, Bai Hua Fairy, and several other Immortal Gods exuding rich immortal aura, all gazing at the center of the hall.
In the center of the hall, three round mirrors appeared.
The round mirrors showed the scenes of three immortals undergoing trials.
Both the Water Official Emperor and the Water Virtue Star Monarch were undertaking the Water Element Trial.
They had entered the Zhonghua Divine Beauty Dao Realm, one of the three major Dao Realms.
With the strength of these two leaders of the Ancient Immortals, they navigated the checkpoints with ease.
At this time, the Daoist Monarchs also saw Zhang Jian officially pass through the first stone tower, watching him use the Innate Yin Yang Divine Light to vanquish four Tower Guards.
Daoist Monarch Ningyang took a sip from the wine gourd at his waist, and smiled.
"Although the Ling Yuan Emperor has not been cultivating for long, he is indeed a worthy disciple of His Majesty King Yu, overcoming four with ease, as befitting of the Taiyi Celestial Immortal Realm!"
"It seems promising to see him through this Earth Element Trial!"
King Yu, seated at the head, shook his head slightly while looking at the scenes in the mirror.
"This is only the first pass. With such difficulty at the first pass, the subsequent four are likely to be increasingly challenging!"
The other Daoist Monarchs remained impassive upon hearing this.
There was a flicker of different colors in their eyes.
If it weren’t for this, they wouldn’t have chosen this place for the trial ground. The difficulty is high enough to weed out mediocrities and keep from spoiling the grand plans of the Daoist Monarchs.
King Yu pondered for a moment and continued.
"It is said that these three innate Dao Realms of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect were once used by Laojun to assess disciples of the Taiqing lineage!"
Daoist Monarch Chang Mei stroked his beard and smiled.
"Your Majesty King Yu, it’s not just that, it’s also a secret cultivation ground for the Taiqing lineage. In ancient times, only a few disciples had the privilege to enter the Eight Sceneries Dao Realm for practice!"
Upon hearing this, King Yu laughed.
’In that case, this is a stroke of luck for those three. The Blessed Land shared by the immortals of the Taiqing lineage cannot be diminished by those without fortune!’
Pure Yang Daoist Monarch smiled slightly.
This was coincidental; the activation of the three major Dao Realms in Taiqing Heaven was originally to entertain powerful figures under other Daoist Venerables and to confer blessings.
As more visitors came, whose status was extraordinary, the Pure Yang Immortal Sect decided to open all three major Dao Realms.
After all, since they had already been generous to the end, they couldn’t favor one over the other.
Naturally, it was also because the trial Forbidden Techniques left in these three Dao Realms were quite effective.
Only strict trials could filter out the strong.
King Yu’s eyes rested on the three Immortal Mirrors.
He wasn’t overly concerned about Tianhe Master and Water Virtue Star Monarch.
Neither of them lacked in Dao practice, immortal treasures, or various backup plans. He felt confident they would clear the five trials.
On the other hand, Zhang Jian, having just achieved enlightenment, might not be able to withstand such a fearsome trial.
After all, it was crafted by Tai Shang Laojun.
Reputation carries weight.
Everything associated with Laojun is never simple.
Given Zhang Jian’s displayed talent, if he were to miss this opportunity, it would be a pity, potentially slowing his path to enlightenment.
As this Inference Era has just begun, there are ample spots for Daoist Monarchs. But if the pace to enlightenment is slow, by the end it will be a scramble across a narrow bridge.
As the bonds of the Inference Era loosen, competition becomes fiercer and more difficult.
However, King Yu remains quite confident in Zhang Jian.
...
After the five waves of meteors in the first stone tower ended.
Zhang Jian passed the first pass with a 100% completion of the Grand Map.
The portal to the next opened, revealing a path.
Without stopping, he walked directly into the second stone tower.
After moving away from the first stone tower, Zhang Jian didn’t take long before seeing the second massive stone tower several hundred feet away.
The design was identical to the first.
He stepped inside.
At this moment, the center of the second stone tower also had a Grand Map.
Another message flew through the void and landed before him, unfolding into many words.
The requirements of the second stone tower had changed.
Zhang Jian glanced, focusing on the Grand Map before him.
He slightly furrowed his brow.
The second pass required him to complete the Earth Spirit Acupoints Map before him.
The Earth Spirit Acupoints Map contained 108 broken acupoints, which Zhang Jian needed to repair more than 60% of within a century.
Repairing Earth Spirit Acupoints.
"This must be a test of the cultivator’s emergency response ability!"
Zhang Jian mused to himself.
Fortunately, he lacked no skills.
His abilities were versatile, excelling in all but alchemy...
As for repairing acupoints, he could utilize the Method of Manipulating Creation.
The Method of Manipulating Creation is a supreme technique in the Path of Creation.
Zhang Jian transformed into a stream of light and merged into the Earth Spirit Acupoints Map. Upon entering, he immediately sensed an anomalous chaotic Earth Spiritual Mechanism like a storm sweeping over.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, even the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws, became chaotic and disorderly.
This was interference.
Zhang Jian immediately realized that this trial was also testing the trial-taker’s resistance to interference.
A smile appeared in Zhang Jian’s eyes, this was no challenge for him.
With a thought, a combination of Immortal Light emerged around him, greatly subduing the immense heavens.
Countless starlights radiated from his body, forming an immense All Heaven Stars Dao Map over the void, isolating all heavenly changes.
Still, he used a combined Immortal Technique.
Tier Five Immortal Technique, Nine-Turns Wishing Wheel Sutra.
Tier Five Immortal Technique, Yellow Court Blessed Land Technique.
Tier Five Immortal Technique, All Heaven Stars Map.
Such a Tier Five combined Immortal Technique instantly subdued all spirits and storms, even the ensuing space-time storms, the earth resonances, and the assassinations by the four Tower Guardians formed from Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, as well as their innate Four Symbols Array suppression.
Zhang Jian focused on organizing the acupoints within the Earth Spirit Acupoints Map, clearing the obstructed Qi, or the Demonic Qi contamination, water and fire erosion, even the Qi of Creation loss, the various issues of broken Spirit Veins.
His profound understanding of the Earth Path revealed itself through the various acupoints.
All problems could be discovered and resolved in the shortest time.
Finally, the solidified Earth Qi meandered visibly, eventually forming a gigantic dragon vein of Earth Spiritual Mechanism, connecting heaven and earth.
His actions astonished even the emperors in the Pure Yang Hall.
Such ease demonstrated Zhang Jian’s control over the Authority of the Earth had reached a magical level.
Going with and against the flow with ease.
"It seems Ah Yu’s harvest in the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven is more than I imagined!"
King Yu couldn’t help but feel astounded as he watched the scene.
The other Daoist Monarchs were also looking on in amazement.
Considering the years Zhang Jian has been cultivating, his Dao skill has reached this point.
It seems not forced that he stepped into the Taiyi Celestial Immortal Realm, he might not even have fully unleashed his profound foundation yet.
This is remarkable.
No wonder His Majesty King Yu did not hesitate to personally enter the Donghua Realm to clear the path for him.
As the Daoist Monarchs expected, in the Fire Cloud Grotto Heaven, Zhang Jian observed the Ancestor Qi Wheel, and the depth of his innate brand manifested.
Within the Earth Spirit Acupoints Map, Zhang Jian watched as the 108 Earth Spirit Acupoints, including several innate acupoints and Earth Ancestral Acupoints, were successfully completed by him, and he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
It was a refreshing and exhilarating feeling.
Feeling like all he learned finally had a place to be utilized.
For the later seven passes, he instead felt a yearning.
Moreover, mending these Earth Spirit Acupoints greatly facilitated his comprehension of Earth Law.
Education through practice.
The one who established these Trial Stone Towers was indeed a high-ranking individual.
"After passing through the five passes, I should find a way to linger longer in this Earth Attribute Ancestor Qi Dao Realm..."
After exiting the second stone tower, Zhang Jian’s eyes fell on the vast torrent formed by the Earth Attribute Ancestor Qi above the firmament, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.
Even if he had to linger there!
