At this moment, she suddenly spoke.
"I have heard that the Holy Mother has intentions to host the Peach Blossom Assembly ten thousand years earlier!"
Upon hearing this, several Celestial Princesses turned their gaze over, and the Cyan Robed Female Immortal nodded and said.
"I have heard it too. Mother rarely hosts the Peach Blossom Banquet early throughout many Inference Eras. It’s usually very timely, so there must be a reason for such an early gathering!"
The Orange-clothed Fairy beside spoke.
"Once the Peach Blossom Banquet begins, we must all get busy!"
There was a hint of resignation in her expression.
Beside her, Bai Hua Fairy and Bai Cao Fairy also furrowed their brows. Hosting the Peach Blossom Banquet at Jasper Pool Sacred Land naturally requires the assistance of many Yaochi Fairies.
The women exchanged various secrets of the Celestial Realm before departing contentedly.
Bai Hua Fairy remained behind.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia saw her hesitating to speak and directly asked.
"Bai Hua, are you wondering about the news of His Majesty the Water Official?"
Bai Hua Fairy nodded and said.
"Sister Qingxia, I have sensed that recent times in the Celestial Realm seem rather unsettling. He possesses a Divine Body, and ever since ancient times, the Divine have been viewed with jealousy. Many Divine fall before they have fully grown..."
Bai Hua Fairy expressed worry.
Since several batches of Innate Divine grew strong during the Wilderness Era, the Immortals recognize the power of the Innate Divine, and there is some vigilance towards subsequent Innate Divine.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia smiled and said, "Rest assured, he is far more cautious than you’d think!"
"I’ve heard he has recently not set foot outside, staying within the Water Official Emperor’s Mansion, and even the Zhang family members from the lower realm are being gradually brought into the Three Emperors Celestial Realm!"
She paused slightly, her starry eyes lifting.
"The Three Emperors Celestial Realm will not allow anyone to harm him!"
Bai Hua Fairy’s eyes flickered, and she relaxed.
After a moment, Bai Hua Fairy suddenly spoke again.
"Sister, I heard the reincarnation of Taiyin has already appeared!"
Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s face tensed, and after a moment, she snorted coldly.
"Even if it has appeared, what of it?"
Bai Hua Fairy said, "I have heard the Holy Mother ordered Sister to deal with Taiyin..."
She paused slightly and continued.
"It is the incompetence of us sisters that has implicated Sister Qingxia, causing her to be reprimanded by the Holy Mother!"
Guilt was evident on her face.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia approached and grasped Bai Hua Fairy’s hand and said.
"Bai Hua, don’t speak as if we’re from different families, or your sister won’t be pleased. Taiyin is a rival to all of us, but truthfully, without Taiyin’s targeting, I wouldn’t have proven the Daoist Monarch Dao Fruit in such a short time!"
Bai Hua Fairy still looked a bit dispirited. As these Flower Immortals, their Dao Practice is too low, and they cannot help Daoist Monarch Qingxia, becoming burdens instead.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia saw Bai Hua Fairy’s expression and a hint of unusual color appeared in her eyes. She quietly spoke near Bai Hua Fairy’s ear.
"Sister, is this true?"
Bai Hua Fairy’s eyes sparkled.
Daoist Monarch Qingxia nodded slightly, "Naturally, it’s true. The Immortal Position of Bai Hua has existed since the Wilderness Era. There are many Innate Flower Gods born of Creation; if sister can obtain that Innate Creation, you might in the future glimpse the boundless destiny and transcend it!"
Bai Hua Fairy nodded.
She originally had no conflicts with the world, but being uncontentious also meant being powerless.
Unable to accomplish tasks.
She didn’t want to become a burden to others again.
...
In the Nine Netherworld Realm, the Netherworld Underworld.
The Nine Netherworld Realm’s Underworld is the core of the All Heavens Void and millions of virtual Underworlds, located beneath the mortal world.
Here lies a special dimension, known as the Nine Netherworld Dimension, also called the Earth Realm Dimension.
The Earth Realm Dimension is equally vast, containing not only the All Heavens Void Underworld but also many unknown and illusory Spirit Realms, including the Netherworld realms.
The Tenth Hall, Emperor Lunzhuan’s Mansion.
It is grand and awe-inspiring, with the dark nether Qi imposing and fierce. Further ahead is the final stop that ghosts must experience before reincarnation—the Naihe Bridge.
Finally, there is the Land of Reincarnation.
Emperor Lunzhuan holds a very special position among the Ten Great Netherworld Emperors.
He governs the Tenth Hall, the endpoint of the ghosts’ Nether journey, serving as a station for reincarnation allocation. The hall resides outside the Netherworld Fertile Stone, directly facing the World of Five Muddied Evils.
He has the authority to evaluate registered ghosts, Ghost Gods, and determine their paths into the heaven and earth reincarnation.
His power is considered immense.
At this moment, deep within the Reincarnation City, atop the city walls, a figure in a black robe gazes into the distance towards the rolling Yellow Springs. This black-robed figure is enveloped in Nether Divine Light, and beside him is an Emperor in royal attire, known as the Left Saint Emperor, Emperor Lunzhuan’s right hand.
Holding a position of fortune in one of the halls, the Left Saint Emperor is undoubtedly prestigious, yet willingly stands below the black-robed figure.
Though standing behind, his tone bears little respect.
"Senior, it seems your plan has failed. Even after detaining Judge Zhuyuan, that person shows no intent to investigate personally!"
The black-robed figure responded calmly.
"No need to rush, this is just the beginning!"
The Left Saint Emperor shrugged.
Just then, both felt a sudden movement in their hearts; an invisible force swept from the River of Destiny towards the palm of the black-robed figure.
This black-robed figure was surrounded by countless ghosts, Yin Spirits, and even deities, among them Judge Zhuyuan trapped upon his black robe.
The invisible Power of Destiny surged forward, seemingly about to breach the terrifying obscurity of the black robe to locate Judge Zhuyuan.
Within the Power of Destiny, the two suddenly perceived a majestic Daoist Robe clad figure performing magic.
It was a Taiyi Great Perfection Immortal God.
Just looking at this figure, the two images slightly jerked, their faces subtly changing and expressions growing stern.
This fish may be ’hooked,’ yet they didn’t dare retract the line.
The black-robed Daoist Monarch clearly sensed several surging majestic Divine Powers behind that casting Immortal God.
They were likely in some Three Emperors Temple.
The opposition was also fishing!
This made it hard for him to act!
At present, he could only toss Judge Zhuyuan’s True Body aside, into some Netherworld Space, sealing it away.
At present, actively isolate this power of destiny.
The Left Saint Emperor looked at this scene and couldn’t help but chuckle slightly.
"That Water Official Emperor is truly exceptionally cautious, unwilling to take the slightest risk!"
The corners of Daoist Monarch Black Robe’s mouth slightly twitched, he coldly laughed after a moment.
"He will inevitably reveal a flaw sooner or later!"
After a slight pause, he suddenly said again.
"I remember he left quite a few bloodlines among the mortals; it seems he values these mortal bloodlines quite a bit!"
"Go to Yama Hall and check the Book of Life and Death to see if you can use magic to capture their souls!"
Upon hearing this, the Left Saint Emperor shook his head and said.
"I’m afraid that won’t work; he isn’t some wild monster without any background. If the actions are discovered by the Immortal Gods of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, this emperor can’t escape!"
He directly refused.
Daoist Monarch Black Robe’s eyes revealed some displeasure.
"Since you decided to join us, why are you wavering?"
The Left Saint Emperor snorted lightly.
"I want to join you, yes, but joining you is to pursue the Dao, to protect myself, to gain greater power, not to throw away my life. Even if several Venerables come, I would say the same; a good blade should be used against a steel edge, not exposed casually for unnecessary reasons!"
After a slight pause and recognizing the difficulty in dealing with this Daoist Monarch Youyuan in front of him, he added.
"If you truly want to be troublesome, you can go into the Human Realm dimension and take action in the Zhou Mountain Realm yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Monarch Youyuan snorted lightly, and his figure directly descended from the city wall, disappearing.
The Left Saint Emperor gazed at the disappearing figure of the other party and silently sighed.
The best way to deal with a Celestial Divine is naturally through a series of tightly woven plans, making the other party vanish without a trace, preferably under the protection of those Daoist Venerables and Demon Venerables, so as to succeed and retire.
One can’t just be reckless.
Even if successful through reckless means, one would still be pursued.
However, this guy has the qualification for protection from Heterodox Daoist Venerables.
The Left Saint Emperor pondered secretly.
If the road hadn’t almost been cut off, with no way forward, he wouldn’t easily contact such reckless guys.
...
Central Celestial Realm, Qianyuan Mountain, Golden Light Cave
Taiyi Sword Sect.
At this moment, in a temple, an old Daoist in a purple robe was swaying his head.
"No flaws to speak of!"
Zhang Jian’s mouth slightly twitched; he took a glance at the three Saint Emperors enshrined in the temple. In this place, using the Taiyi Divine Number, no flaws could be discerned.
This is too stable!
The Daoist in front of him was recommended by the Tongshan Dao Lineage, specializing in the practice of Taiyi Divine Number, named Cha Na Daoist.
Since he warned the other party about potential danger in searching for Judge Zhuyuan, the other party decisively sought a Three Emperors Temple for inference!
At this moment, Cha Na Daoist fondled his beautiful beard and said smilingly.
"His Majesty the Water Official, although I couldn’t find your person, this 100,000 immortal crystals deposit, I won’t refund!"
Zhang Jian had anticipated this long ago and nodded accordingly.
This old Cha Na Daoist’s Dao Practice is robust, moreover, a well-known Immortal of the Taiyi Sword Sect; if he couldn’t find Judge Zhuyuan, undoubtedly there’s a significant problem.
This corroborated his suspicion.
This is indeed a trap!
Zhang Jian resolved further not to leave the Central Celestial Realm or the Three Emperors Celestial Realm easily until he becomes a Daoist Monarch.
If he must venture out, it is necessary to seek help from the Saint Emperors of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm to conceal his tracks.
Zhang Jian glanced at the unusually sly old Daoist and promptly left Qianyuan Mountain.
Zhang Jian was preparing to enter the Three Emperors Celestial Realm.
Calculating the time in the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Yi, Zhang Xian, along with the Ji Family, should sequentially ascend to the Three Emperors Celestial Realm.
He needed to bring the Immortals over.
Once the Immortals are brought over, he can cultivate well and perfect the transformation of his Ancestral Qi Foundation.
The path from Taiyi Great Perfection as an Immortal God to Daoist Monarch consists of seven steps.
They are Transformation of Ancestral Qi Dao Fruit, Evolution of Ancestral Qi Foundation, Harmonious Dao Heart, Severing Destiny, Celestial Heart Returning to Dao, Daoist Perfection, Destruction and Enlightenment.
His foundation is exceptionally fortunate, although he hasn’t actively prepared.
Yet, when he transformed into a Divine Body, to some extent, he directly surpassed the first step by possessing Ancestral Qi Dao Fruit.
Now, it is evolving the Ancestral Qi Dao Fruit, rendering the Earth Emperor Treasure Wheel fully formed, naturally completing the second step.
Each step completed results in a significant change in one’s Dao Practice.
Similar to when he condenses Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi and performs various Immortal Techniques, his Dao Practice, and even dominion over Heaven and Earth Law, is far greater than ordinary Taiyi Great Perfection Immortal Gods.
If the second step is completed, his power will continuously ascend.
Moreover, this trip into the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, Zhang Jian also seeks to integrate Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi into the Three Emperors Celestial Realm.
As an official member of the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly, Zhang Jian believes this will be easier than in the Celestial Court.
...
Three Emperors Celestial Realm
Still in Qingqiu Land.
Before the thirteenth Ascension Platform.
Zhang Jian’s figure emerged.
Before proceeding to the request territory, he visited Qingqiu Palace to pay respects to Lady Qingqiu.
Afterwards, he arrived at this Ascension Platform.
This time he was not alone; Ancestor Chufa and Ancestor Qing Yuan joined him from the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Because this time the Tongshan Dao Lineage also has Immortals ascending together.
Since Zhou Mountain Realm might be targeted by unknown hostile forces, Zhang Jian naturally informed the Tongshan Dao Lineage, allowing some acquaintances to ascend together to avoid disaster.
Therefore, this time the guardians of the Mortal World, True Monarch Zhanmo, Zidian Ancestor, along with several other Third Generation Celestial Immortals from the Tongshan Dao Lineage, will ascend to the Celestial Palace together.
The group had slight discussions and did not wait long before seeing a misty milky white Immortal Light emanating from the Ascension Platform ahead, a grand Celestial Realm passage open.
The ascension from the Lower Realm has begun.
