Zhang Jian spread out his palm, where a dense purple-yellow Divine Light instantly inspired the Lifebound Immortal Technique of Mountains and Rivers.
The color of this Lifebound Immortal Technique was undergoing a transformation.
It changed from nine colors to purple-yellow Immortal Light.
This meant that the Lifebound Immortal Technique was no longer created from mythology as its source, but was truly his own, formed with his own Dao Root, a Lifebound Immortal Technique that truly belonged to him.
Only the flowing purple-yellow Immortal Light was seen, where it passed, it was as if there was infinite Qiankun Great Power, suppressing all things.
Within, the force of Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi dominated the entire Tier Five Immortal Technique, possessing a layer that transcended the ordinary Great Dao, even to the extent of severing the majestic force of fate.
In fact, Zhang Jian had long been able to operate the Tier Five Immortal Technique using Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi.
Because he had already transformed into the Divine Body.
But such actions were not this effortless.
The operation of Ancestral Qi Immortal Technique requires extremely solid Dao Practice as its support.
It was not that Zhang Jian’s Dao Practice wasn’t enough before, as the Divine Body, he stood upon the earth, possessing boundless Dao Practice, only his mastery over Ancestral Qi was insufficient.
Dao Practice, Dao Heart, Dao Fruit could not coordinate, which affects the efficiency of magic casting.
Yet crossing the first step, the second step, and re-evolving the Ancestral Qi Foundation, would allow the five elements in one to coordinate perfectly again.
"Second step, after evolving the Three Thousand Dao Qi, then comes the third step, Dao Heart Unity!"
Numerous thoughts passed through Zhang Jian’s innermost mind.
His Dao Heart at this time actually already counted as Taiyi Great Perfection.
The perfection here referred to sublimation.
Adjusting one’s state, allowing oneself to observe the changes in the Great Dao Law of all things from the perspective of a Daoist Monarch.
Zhang Jian had a vague understanding of this.
At Jasper Pool, witnessing hundreds of Daoist Monarchs practicing Immortal Techniques with Dao Fruit Cloud, this special state remained etched in his mind.
Moreover, he possessed the Innate Spiritual Treasure Third-Grade Creation Cyan Lotus.
Innate Spiritual Treasure inherently carries a transcendental perspective, thereby enabling clearer observation of the essence of the changes in the Path of Heaven and Earth.
"The transformation of five elements in one begins with Dao Practice, next is Dao Fruit, Dao Heart, Innate Primordial Spirit, Immortal Body, ultimately transcending fate to achieve the body of a Daoist Monarch!"
Zhang Jian thought to himself.
At this time, Zhang Jian’s eyes again fell upon three treasures of the Eternal Divine Realm.
Dao Heart transformation still needs to rely on these three Divine Dao Treasures.
He has several Dao Heart Immortal Techniques that can enhance the Dao Heart.
For example, Supreme Forgetting Emotions Immortal Technique, Vast Flame, can make one’s Dao Heart more focused.
But the ice and snow authority contained within three Divine Dao Treasures stimulates Dao Heart transformation, further refining the Dao Heart.
That eternal ice and snow will can make Immortal Gods’ Dao Heart wither, and it can also allow Immortal Gods to maintain complete calm in the desperate situation of Dao Heart withering, thereby finding the key to transformation.
...
A hundred years passed quietly.
The scene within the Eternal Ice Castle gradually came under Zhang Jian’s complete control, including the thirty thousand Celestial Soldiers stationed in the Eternal Ice Castle.
Under absolute power, many things became simpler instead.
Moreover, Zhang Jian also held the legitimate title of Celestial Monarch.
Of course, Zhang Jian’s final ’gathering’ also won the hearts of the Immortals within the Eternal Ice Castle.
To the right of the Eternal Ice Castle, Shenwei Grand General’s Mansion.
At this time, within the Immortal Mansion, Wu Chun was meeting with a guest.
The visitor was surrounded by flowing starlight, with a silver-white All Heaven Star Treasure Wheel floating behind him, containing vast, grand Divine Power.
This was a powerful Star God.
The two sat across from each other sipping lightly, when a breeze blew from outside the Immortal Mansion, gently moving the Wind Bell on the eaves of the Jade Tower.
"The wind blows the bell!"
Seeing this, Wu Chun Immortal Monarch felt something.
Witnessing this scene, the Star Monarch dressed in a silver-white robe pointed at the Wind Bell and laughed.
"As I see it, it’s the Deputy Castle Master’s heart that is stirred!"
"The Star Lord’s words are quite reasonable!"
Wu Chun Immortal Monarch smiled faintly.
"My heart is uneasy!"
"Please, Star Lord, ease my worries!"
The Star Lord dressed in the Star Robe was Tianliang Star Lord among the Ancient Stars, also a very ancient Ancient Star Lord.
The years of cultivation are long, even surpassing many Daoist Monarchs.
This Tianliang Star Lord smiled faintly.
"Fellow Daoist Wu’s urgency in Dao Heart is naturally clear to this god!"
"Rest assured, only when the time arrives, you can rest easy!"
Wu Chun Immortal Monarch nodded slightly.
At this time, the Tianliang Star Lord looked outside the Jade Tower at the pervasive white snow amongst the mountains, suddenly smiled.
"The eternal ice and snow here is truly peculiar, being in it, it seems there’s only pain, with no so-called purification!"
Wu Chun Immortal Monarch responded with a faint smile.
"The ice and snow here were formed by a vast flow of Eternal Ice and Snow Ancestral Qi after Zhoushan collapsed, naturally cold to the soul!"
Tianliang Star Lord took a sip of Fragrant Tea from the teacup and smiled.
"I have heard another rumor!"
"Oh?"
Wu Chun Immortal Monarch’s eyes lifted, carrying a hint of curiosity.
Tianliang Star Lord said.
"It is rumored that when Zhou Mountain collapsed, it was during the Ancient Gods and Demons War, several powerful ancient gods and demons fought against the Celestial Emperor at the peak of Zhou Mountain, exhausted and perished, among them was a powerful ancient god and demon wielding the power of eternity and ice and snow!"
"This was an Innate Divine known as Xuan Ming!"
Wu Chun Immortal Monarch’s raised teacup paused slightly, yet his face remained unchanged.
"I have also heard about the Ancient Demon Xuan Ming, he was a Divine on Immortal Venerable Level, born from multiple water attributes of the Innate Ancestral Qi, truly favored by heaven."
Tianliang Star Lord glanced at Wu Chun Immortal Monarch and continued.
"Such existence, despite having become carefree in the world, chose to partake in the Celestial Emperor’s war, ultimately defeated and perished!"
