Lady Qingqiu’s eyes revealed a trace of understanding.
Lord of Xuan Ming’s divine might was vast, and during the Ancient Era, he was one of the pinnacle overlords among many divine beings.
"But Ah Yu is an Earth Divine. Will he inherit the name of Xuan Ming?"
King Yu’s smile remained unchanged.
"It should be his Dao Companion who inherits the name of Xuan Ming, which makes no difference to him!"
After a slight pause, King Yu spoke.
"Tushan, we must trouble you to guide her in this matter!"
Lady Qingqiu nodded slightly.
"In six hundred years, the Qingqiu Lineage will host the Qingqiu Assembly. I will invite the immortals to come, and naturally invite the two female guests from Lingyuan Emperor’s Mansion to attend!"
The Qingqiu Assembly of the Qingqiu Race may not compare to the Jasper Pool Banquet, but within the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, its standards are not low, especially among the Female Immortals, its influence is widespread.
The couple both felt quite pleasant.
However, they would not publicize this matter.
Before fully inheriting the divine position of Lord of Xuan Ming, it remains dangerous for Zhang Jian and his spouse.
Zhang Jian’s willingness to report this matter clearly denotes trust towards the couple.
The couple will also not let Zhang Jian face unwarranted risks.
At this moment, Lady Qingqiu uttered: "It’s just that based on observations, Ah Yu has not received the Ancient Divine Dao inheritance!"
Her pair of exquisite eyes showed a hint of regret.
Though the Ancient Divine Dao is outdated, many of its mysteries are exceptionally classic, yet most of these wonders rest in the hands of Ancient divine beings, making it difficult for younger gods to inherit.
Tongshan Daoist Lineage splits into Immortal and Godly paths.
There are many disciples possessing divine and immortal bodies.
If the Ancient Divine Dao inheritance could be obtained, their momentum would undeniably thrive.
King Yu sighed.
"Lord of Xuan Ming was killed by the Celestial Emperor; where could there be a proper Xuan Ming inheritance left? Obtaining her divine position is already a tremendous gain!"
...
Eternal Ice Castle, Eternal Ice Crystal Divine Hall.
Outside, disturbances are frequent, with more and more immortal gods probing the defenses of the Eternal Ice Castle, yet Zhang Jian remained indifferent.
Anyone triggering the Forbidden Technique is captured and suppressed into the Eternal Immortal Prison.
With such deterrence, the immortal gods outside have indeed become more restrained.
Zhang Jian could focus on comprehending the profound mysteries of All Heaven Profound Nether Ancestral Qi.
The focus of Zhang Jian’s comprehension lay more in its evolutionary results, which consequently reflected upon his Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi.
There is no doubt that the degree of perfection of All Heaven Profound Nether Ancestral Qi far exceeds Earth Emperor Ancestral Qi.
It transcends the mere state of a single Ancestor Qi Wheel.
Inside, it possesses Heaven and Earth Great Dao Runes, even exceeding the number of unity. Unity Heaven and Earth Runes circle the Ancestor Qi Wheel, lively and no longer cumbersome.
It also holds a layer of transcendence, a taste of the Other Shore.
Its existence utterly suppressed the majority of Ancestral Qi power within the ice attribute Ancestral Qi network, becoming the spring source of the ice attribute in the depths of the Sea of Chaos Origin, occupying considerable strength.
Zhang Jian sensed that in the Ancient Era, it might not merely occupy a significant position but rather held the top position within the ice attribute Ancestral Qi network.
Even now, it firmly controls many unique original divine roles, such as winter, rain and snow, eternity, soul, etc.
Among the All Heavens Realm, the number of divine positions is limited, while original divine roles are even rarer.
A divine position is a position.
A divine role is a duty.
Having a position but no duties, the power of a Divine Dao Powerhouse cannot be fully realized.
It’s akin to holding a high rank without actual authority.
Zhang Jian and the Ice Emperor he defeated are equally divine bodies, but their weight is not comparable to Ancient divine beings, because although they possess divine bodies and divine positions, they lack corresponding divine roles.
Divine roles were already mostly divided during the Ancient Times.
Thus, the path of the Divine Dao has reached its end.
Even the differentiation of the heavens, the realm expansion, could not change the reality that most original divine roles are concentrated in the hands of some Ancient divine beings.
Deep in the hall, thick mysterious cold emanated from Zhang Jian’s surroundings.
At this moment, the Tier Five Immortal Technique Taiyin Refining Form Technique condensed atop of his head into a bright full moon, releasing a stream of clear cold like water that elevated the freezing radiance instantly.
Within the depths of Taiyin Refining Form Technique, the Innate Taiyin Law Dao Seed thoroughly transformed into an Innate Undying Spiritual Light, merging within, causing this Tier Five Immortal Technique to radiate with chilling splendor.
It was as if a true Taiyin Bright Moon.
Inside, the Taiyin Emperor’s authority was harmonized, bringing a sense of enduring immortality through the destruction of heaven and earth.
This treasure of heaven and earth completely merged into Zhang Jian’s Taiyin Refining Form Technique at this moment.
Zhang Jian also seized the opportunity to thoroughly comprehend the profound mysteries of Taiyin Dao Qi.
Taiyin Emperor’s authority achieved perfection.
Zhang Jian did not attempt to elevate Taiyin Dao Qi to Taiyin Ancestral Qi.
Although elevation would greatly enhance the power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Currently, there is no need to do so.
Because his two primary paths are Sheji Emperor and Jiuyou Emperor.
He needs to dedicate more time to the positions of Sheji Emperor and Jiuyou Emperor, transforming into two postnatal Ancestral Qi upon Heavenly Heart Returning to Dao, while other branches mainly require the completion of profound mysteries of Perfect Dao Qi.
Competing for the Daoist Monarch positions in the All Heavens Void makes his schedule tight.
No time to waste.
...
Eternal Forbidden Area, deep within the core of the Eternal Mountain Range, before a gigantic ice-sealed valley.
Below, an abyss without a bottom existed, with an ocean-like storm of cold air rushing forth, and terrifying Xuan Ming storms formidable enough to freeze, seal, and shatter some powerful Eternal Immortal Treasures.
