Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s lips slightly curled up; she also didn’t plan to expose anything.
In fact, this situation is something she is keenly trying to make happen.
She glanced at the Soul Suppression Tower in Bai Hua Fairy’s hands.
How can such karma be easily repaid? If a deeper connection can’t be established between the two, Bai Hua Fairy will have troubles even after her return to the Immortal Position, greatly obstructing her future seamless Dao Fruit.
However, Daoist Monarch Qingxia didn’t wish to see Bai Hua Fairy make mistakes.
The Central Celestial Realm is very averse to office romances, especially since Bai Hua Fairy is one of the Female Immortals attending Yaochi Saint Mother, making her position even more unique.
Perhaps maintaining such a ’like-minded’ relationship is better.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia smiled.
"My sister is always rational!"
Bai Hua Fairy glanced at Daoist Monarch Qingxia and said.
"I’m not like those Princesses..."
Daoist Monarch Qingxia smiled faintly, but there was a hint of an unusual expression in her eyes.
"After three lifetimes, Bai Hua sister has indeed grown a lot!"
A slight smile appeared on Bai Hua Fairy’s exquisite face.
"I’ve finally understood why those Immortal Gods favor Primordial Spirit reincarnation or choose to reincarnate themselves after some time, not only to accumulate foundation and Destiny, but also to temper the Dao Heart!"
"There’s too much temptation among the mundane world, and if one continues to stay elevated without experiencing, how can one transcend?"
At this moment, the Dao rhyme around Bai Hua Fairy flowed more intensely, indicating that she had regained a part of her Dao Fruit and Dao Practice.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia nodded slightly; she glanced around, walked to a stone stool beneath a peach tree, and sat down gently. Her every move resembled the elegance of a Female Immortal in a painting, exceptionally beautiful and pleasing.
"Then tell me, what kind of person do you think Ling Yuan Emperor is?!"
Bai Hua Fairy glanced at Daoist Monarch Qingxia.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia seemed very interested in her relationship with that Ling Yuan Emperor.
However, the two women were already long-time acquaintances, with a relationship that was more than ordinary, so she didn’t hide anything.
"The Emperor should be a person of great talent, rich in benevolence, and possesses great wisdom. He saw through the death tribulation on my path in a glance and managed to cleverly resolve it. He is my benefactor!"
Bai Hua Fairy did not conceal her thoughts.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s eyes flickered slightly. To be precise, Zhang Jian was indeed Bai Hua Fairy’s benefactor.
If it weren’t for the Soul Suppression Tower he worshipped, she really wouldn’t know where to find such a precious Merit Dharma Artifact unless she went to Yaochi Saint Mother.
But Yaochi Saint Mother’s items aren’t easy to borrow.
Bai Hua Fairy continued.
"Moreover, he is also very meticulous, of course possessing the decisive qualities a cultivator should have!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia laughed and said.
"Does he have any flaws?"
Bai Hua Fairy thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Not at the moment!"
"Then you’re finished!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia shook her head.
She internally laughed somewhat derisively, pondering in her mind.
"That kid is very greedy, constantly finding opportunities to enter the Ancestral Hall to worship..."
Bai Hua Fairy sensed the teasing in Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s tone and didn’t mind, but soon addressed the core of their discussion.
"Sister Qingxia, have you investigated the details of the Donghua Realm’s dimension upgrade?!"
Bai Hua Fairy was most concerned about this issue.
When the Donghua Realm’s dimension upgrade was first spread across various Celestial Realms prior to her descent into the mortal world, many Immortals regarded it as just one of the many rumors in the All Heavens Void. Now, it’s suddenly a reality, and the Central Celestial Realm’s numerous Immortal Gods are surely curious and investigating.
As the leader of Jasper Pool Sacred Land’s Lantai Daoist Palace, Daoist Monarch Qingxia must know part of the secret.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia smiled slightly, a peculiar smile appearing at her eyes.
"Of course I know. Any realm wanting to enter the Celestial Realm must first receive the decree of the Great Celestial Venerable and the Empress, otherwise it would be difficult to safely land within the known dimensions ruled by the Celestial Court!"
Bai Hua Fairy was not surprised by what Daoist Monarch Qingxia said.
The Celestial Realm possesses many unknown dimensional areas.
Although the dimensions occupied by the Celestial Court are vast, there are many places outside it that remain untouched by its light.
Entering a dimension influenced by the Celestial Realm, receiving protection from the Celestial Gods naturally requires integrating into the vast realm ruled by the Celestial Court.
Of course, one could choose to enter an unknown dimensional area within the Celestial Realm.
But that is extremely risky.
Without the deterrence of Celestial Gods, it’s easy to be targeted by Demon Gods, Evil Gods, or some wandering large forces within the Celestial Realm’s dimensions.
The most terrifying would be facing the Demon Monarchs under those seven Demon Dao Demon Ancestors.
Immortals, even if sacrificing some benefits and losing some so-called freedom, would not want to accept such risks.
Accepting the Celestial Court’s rule naturally requires accepting some of its conditions.
For example, stationing troops, acknowledging the Celestial Court’s status, and handing over part of the world authority to the operation by the Celestial Gods.
Donghua Realm’s dimension upgrade certainly involves the Celestial Court’s involvement.
Lantai Daoist Palace serves as the ears and eyes of the Celestial Court, surely aware of many things.
At this point, Daoist Monarch Qingxia smiled and said.
"Rest assured, our palace will guide him, even for the sake of Bai Hua sister’s honor!"
Bai Hua Fairy thought Daoist Monarch Qingxia genuinely intended to help Zhang Jian for her sake, feeling a bit uneasy.
Soon she retrieved the Soul Suppression Tower and handed it to Daoist Monarch Qingxia.
"Sister Qingxia, I now return this treasure intact!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia casually took the Soul Suppression Tower.
This Soul Suppression Tower is valued as a Merit Dharma Artifact, undoubtedly precious, having protected Bai Hua Fairy’s Primordial Spirit throughout many Demon Tribulations over countless years.
But now she possessed a more precious Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure, which made the Merit Dharma Artifact less useful to her; she then said.
"Sister, don’t rush to return this treasure. If you want to earn some Merit and Destiny in the Donghua Realm, you will definitely need it!"
"Am I included?"
Bai Hua Fairy was startled.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia smiled slightly and said.
"It’s not that difficult!"
Bai Hua Fairy’s expression became solemn.
It’s extremely difficult for outsiders to intervene in Donghua Realm’s matters, she couldn’t believe it would be so effortlessly easy.
However, she trusted Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s abilities.
This friend is skilled at scheming, and being a Daoist Monarch of Jasper Pool Sacred Land, she might truly have a way to help.
At that moment, disciples of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect hurriedly arrived at the Immortal Residence’s entrance to report.
"Immortal, Water Virtue Star Monarch and Water Official Emperor each passed the seventh and sixth trials! Ling Yuan Emperor has also passed the sixth trial!"
Shortly after, the two women received the news that Zhang Jian and Water Official Emperor had respectively broken through the seventh trial.
"They passed the seventh trial so quickly!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s eyes showed some surprise.
This almost matched Water Official Emperor and Water Virtue Star Monarch’s prowess.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia knew a bit about the seventh trial’s difficulty, which reached the level of a Taiyi Great Perfection Realm powerhouse.
Without being a veteran powerhouse with deep foundations, one might not be able to pass.
Moreover, the eighth trial’s difficulty is even greater, and none of the three Immortal Gods might be able to pass.
But Daoist Monarch Qingxia soon received news that Water Official Emperor and Water Virtue Star Monarch had advanced to the eighth trial of the Dao Realm.
Zhang Jian, however, sat meditatively before the eighth trial, beginning to quietly cultivate.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s expression slightly changed, and in an instant, she understood that Zhang Jian must have his eye on the profound mysteries of Earth Attribute Ancestral Qi deep within Luansheng Kunyue Dao Realm.
"His nature hasn’t changed at all, never missing any chance to gain benefits..."
Daoist Monarch Qingxia felt somewhat amused.
However, finding advantages from the Taiqing Celestial Lineage is indeed tricky!
...
In the Pure Yang Immortal Hall, all Daoist Monarchs noticed Zhang Jian’s actions, each of them having a somewhat odd expression.
Still, on reflection, given the great difficulties of the eighth trial in the Dao Realm, Zhang Jian’s attempt to seek opportunities within Luansheng Kunyue Dao Realm to boost his strength seemed reasonable.
Yet, exploiting this loophole is not easy.
The Taiqing Celestial Lineage stipulated that one could only remain within Luansheng Kunyue Dao Realm for at most three hundred years.
If one doesn’t advance to the next trial after three hundred years, the trial is considered over.
Before the eighth trial, dense Innate Essence Qi enveloped Zhang Jian. Around him, purple-yellow Divine Light flowed like a dragon or serpent.
"Three hundred years is a bit lacking, but I must try!"
Zhang Jian pondered.
He could feel that comprehending a portion of Earth Ancestral Qi Profound Mysteries was crucial for him.
His Innate Divine Origin had an intrinsic desire for this Earth Attribute Ancestral Qi.
