Central Celestial Realm, Eastern Immortal Realm, Qingyi City, Fengqiao Town
Zhang Jian’s true body descended here, and Zhang Nan hurriedly led the immortals to welcome him, but Zhang Jian instructed Zhang Nan to keep everything simple.
Zhang Jian first reviewed the development of the Madam Zhang over the years, then imparted the Dao and resolved doubts for the many immortals of Madam Zhang, before finally entering the Ancestral Hall to pay homage to the ancestors.
Inside the Ancestral Hall, it was modeled after the layout of the lower realm Fengxi Zhang Family, with minor differences.
After Zhang Jian stepped into the Ancestral Hall, the other members of Zhang Family tactfully left, and Zhang Jian also set up a Barrier of the Map of Mountains and Rivers here.
Only then did he retrieve mountain ranges formed by gold and silver yuanbao from the space of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Zhang Jian believed that this ancestral homage would greatly exceed the last one, even surpassing the time he achieved the Saint King body in the lower realm, hence he prepared a large quantity of gold and silver yuanbao.
In the great cauldron, wisps of cyan smoke burned in the sacrificial flames, and vast amounts of gold and silver yuanbao visibly turned to ash.
Zhang Jian looked up and observed that the sacrificial flames were noticeably brighter this time.
Before long, more than half of the gold and silver yuanbao he had prepared were burned to nothing.
This had already far exceeded the scale of the previous sacrifice.
This also validated his conjecture that achieving the Divine Body was indeed a great success and a manifestation of great destiny.
The gold and silver yuanbao mountains inside the sacrificial cauldron continued to burn.
It wasn’t until the scale approached nearly twice that of the previous homage that it slowly came to a halt.
This made Zhang Jian’s eyes light up.
His last homage had earned him the Star of Destiny, a special type of Heaven and Earth Treasure related to destiny, and with a contribution twice as large this time, the rewards should be even more precious.
Then Zhang Jian tossed a successfully refined Tier Three Immortal Treasure into the sacrificial cauldron from his hand.
It was a Tier Three Immortal Treasure of the destiny type.
Refined in imitation of the Infinite River Map.
Zhang Jian named it the Primordial River and Luo Map.
In Zhang Jian’s eyes, he could clearly see the Primordial River and Luo Map gradually turning into wisps of cyan smoke and disappearing in the cauldron.
Zhang Jian then turned and left the Ancestral Hall.
Having come to Fengqiao Town, Zhang Jian intended to resolve many of the Zhang Family’s development issues.

Celestial Realm, Upper Eighth Layer
Near the border area of the Jasper Pool Sacred Land, a magnificent Immortal Island exists self-contained within a void, grand and vast with a massive, evolving internal space.
Beside the Two Realms Pool, the Nine-Colored Pool Water surged turbulently.
’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ stood beside the Two Realms Pool, her eyes calm.
After learning of Zhang Jian’s transformation into the Divine Body, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ had anticipated this scene.
With her understanding, that individual, ascending with such a foundation, would certainly not forgo the opportunity for ancestral homage.
The Nine-Colored Pool Water majestically vibrated, and with a wave of ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s hand, a golden dawn enveloped the Two Realms Pool.
In just a moment, a tremendous roar emanated from the Two Realms Pool, and vast currents of Incense Fire Golden Light poured forth from within.
The golden light surged directly towards the Dou Mansion.
’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ had been prepared, and from the depths of the void, a grand golden vortex manifested from the sky above, within which lay her Divine Office, evolving from virtual to real, creating magnificent Divine Realms with many illusory realms manifesting.
The Incense Fire Golden Light emerged in the void, instantly merging into these illusory realms, and rapidly became tangible as the illusory Incense Realms filled with Incense Fire Golden Light.
’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ looked on faintly, a smile in her eyes.
As a Daoist Monarch born from the Path of Incense, her path was fundamentally different from her true body; the more incense, the faster her Dao Practice progressed.
Nourished by such incense, she would soon be able to attempt the second Daoist Monarch Tribulation.
Enduring each tribulation brought about a significant metamorphosis in a Daoist Monarch’s Dao Fruit, further advancing Dao Practice.
With Zhang Jian’s help, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ was able to foresee a future full of promise.
Looking deep into her eyes, one could see that the Incense Realms were filled with Incense Fire Golden Light, transforming more than a hundred illusory realms into tangible Incense Realms.
That equated to a hundred billion Flawless Incenses.
Yet, it did not stop there.
Columns of Incense Fire Golden Light formed Incense Fire Divine Pillars, connecting heaven and earth.
"The Divine Body is indeed extraordinary!"
Witnessing this, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ internally remarked.
Under her gaze, the completed Incense Realms number more than two hundred in a brief span.
This equals two hundred billion Flawless Incenses.
Surpassing two hundred billion, the speed of incoming Incense Fire Golden Light slowed somewhat, but did not cease.
A moment later.
’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ observed the gradually trickling Incense Fire Golden Light, her expression a bit awe-struck at this moment.
"Two hundred sixty-one Incense Realms, two hundred sixty-one billion Flawless Incenses!"
The scale of this homage was somewhat beyond her expectations.
Such a scale was more than double the last one.
However surprising, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ had some psychological preparedness.
Her gaze rested on the Two Realms Pool.
Indeed, in an instant, the water within the Two Realms Pool began to churn again, and boundless Great Dao Celestial Sound resonated within the Nine-Colored Radiance.
Strands of Innate Divine Light bloomed from within, immediately attracting resonance with the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws from the void.
Even incorporating some mysterious Dao Qi and Ancestral Qi Power from the Central Celestial Realm.
Ultimately, they formed in the depths of the void a grand, vast river.
Its ripples shimmered, filled within by countless transformations.
"Destiny!"
Witnessing this scene, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ was also greatly amazed.
