Chapter 984 - 622: Earth Emperor of Myth

Chapter 984: Chapter 622: Earth Emperor of Myth

That is a Daoist Monarch quota.

This Daoist Monarch quota, after Zhang Jian’s successful enlightenment, also directly vanished.

The magnificent clouds, purple aura, and various strange omens gradually subsided.

A moment later, Zhang Jian slowly opened his eyes; behind him, the Dao Fruit Cloud spontaneously bloomed with infinite light, as if the grand and boundless Path of Heaven and Earth manifested within.

However, as he stepped out from the Three Emperors Platform step by step, the infinite light behind his head, along with the great Dao halo, also gradually subsided.

After arriving before everyone, Zhang Jian looked at the three leading ancestor gods of the Human Race: Suirenshi, Madam Ziyi, and Madam You Chao, and he smiled and saluted them.

"Greetings to the three Ancestor Gods!"

"Greetings, Emperor, Shangzhen, Daoist friend!"

The leading Suirenshi chuckled and said.

"Nine Netherworld Spirit Emperor, congratulations on breaking through the Destruction Tribulation and finally achieving the Daoist Monarch Dao Fruit!"

"Ancestor God, it was merely by chance that I was able to pass this trial!"

Zhang Jian sighed, humility clear in his eyes.

The four tribulations of form, abiding, decay, and emptiness were indeed extremely perilous, each one like dancing on the edge of a knife, where any slip could lead to death and soul annihilation.

Suirenshi nodded slightly and said.

"Now that you have achieved the Daoist Monarch Dao Fruit, you will be able to enjoy great freedom and vast carefreeness henceforth!"

Beside him, Madam You Chao laughed and said.

"Brother Suihuang, in my view, this young friend has destiny as bright as a rainbow; great freedom and vast carefreeness might not be assured, but certainly, there will be great achievements and Great Dao journey!"

Listening to the ancestor gods jesting, Zhang Jian was not bothered; he soon approached King Yu and saluted.

"Disciple thanks the Patriarch for protection; without your dedicated guidance, it would have been extremely difficult to survive the tribulation!"

King Yu laughed heartily; at this moment, he also noticed the envious gazes of the gods and said with a smile.

"A master leads the way, but cultivation depends on oneself; your current achievements in Dao Skill are entirely due to your own efforts, Ah Yu, why such modesty!"

Pausing slightly, King Yu continued.

"Ah Yu, now that you have become a Daoist Monarch, you should have an official divine title; the name Nine Nether Daoist Monarch cannot be used directly because a Great Divine Ability User already possesses that title..."

Mentioning the name Nine Nether, King Yu fell silent.

His eyes flickered.

Zhang Jian understood, it was to avoid mentioning the fearsome Demon Ancestor of the Nine Nether Demon Realm.

Thinking it over, he then said, "This time in my dream of returning to ancient times, I met the Ancient True Goddess Nuwa, and even served once as her Subordinate God; Lady Nvwa bestowed upon me the title of Di Huang Divine Monarch, in charge of the Earth Soul Authority of the Four Extremes and Eight Wildernesses, so I am titled as the Di Huang Daoist Monarch!"

"Di Huang?"

The Immortal Gods from the Three Emperors Celestial Realm all turned their gazes, with a slight hint of astonishment in their eyes.

The title Di Huang is no ordinary one.

It represents the Earth Sovereign.

However, many Divine Dao Emperors possess mighty titles of Emperor and Sovereign; thus, they were only slightly surprised but not overly concerned.

What caught their attention was that Zhang Jian had experienced a dream of the ancient times and met the Ancient True Goddess Nuwa.

He was actually recognized by the Ancient True Goddess Nuwa and received her decree.

In King Yu’s eyes, there was some shock.

He thought it over and ultimately decided not to inquire directly but intended to discuss it further after returning.

However, the name of Di Huang Daoist Monarch will eventually spread across all heavens and myriad worlds with the various omens of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm.

King Yu also took the opportunity to announce that three hundred years later, a banquet to celebrate Zhang Jian’s enlightenment as a Daoist Monarch will be held, and everyone from the Three Emperors Celestial Realm and Central Celestial Realm is welcome to attend.

The gods all agreed, then each departed separately.

Many Immortal Gods left with expressions of excitement.

The successful enlightenment of Di Huang Daoist Monarch is a great encouragement to many Immortal Gods.

...

After leaving the Three Emperors Platform, Zhang Jian returned to the Tongshan Dao Lineage with King Yu.

Upon hearing the news, all the disciples of the Tongshan Dao Lineage knew that Zhang Jian had attained the Daoist Monarch status.

At this time, many disciples of the Tongshan Dao Lineage gathered in front of the mountain gate to welcome him, each with joy reflected in their eyes.

The foremost was Qing Yuan Ancestor, followed by the Fire Department True God Red Eyebrow Immortal, Yinming Emperor, Tianyu Daoist, Ancestor Chufa, and Zidian Ancestor.

Only the twelfth-ranked Tianyun Daoist was away on a celestial expedition and had not returned.

Beneath the Second Generation Disciples, there were numerous Third Generation Disciples, including Jue Ming Daoist, Boundless Daoist, Bone-Burning Daoist, Qingyun Daoist, True Monarch Zhanmo, Zijing Daoist, and Chasing Star Daoist.

These were all familiar faces.

There were also many immortal gods from other realms ascending to the Human Realm.

Additionally, some Fourth Generation Disciples, such as the leader of the Fourth Generation Disciples from the Zhou Mountain Realm Tongshan Dao Lineage, Fuyou Daoist, had also ascended at this time.

However, the immortals were more focused on congratulating Ancestor Chufa, True Monarch Zhanmo.

This time, the Chufa Lineage didn’t just produce an Immortal Monarch or a Celestial Monarch, but a Daoist Monarch.

A supreme great power wielding the authority of the Great Dao between Heaven and Earth.

This alone would bring unlimited benefits to the Chufa Lineage.

Ancestor Chufa’s smile hadn’t ceased at this moment; who could have thought that he would have such luck!

It’s said that many immortal gods like to accept disciples, because if any one of them prospers, the master gets some benefit.

If his previous limit might have just been the Taiyi True Number.

Now, with a Daoist Monarch disciple-grandson, there is hope for Taiyi Great Perfection.

Even when he goes out, his status would rise significantly.

At this moment, layers of auspicious clouds in the sky blossomed, and purple light filled the atmosphere!

This indicated that the awaited person by the immortals had arrived!

In the divine light, two majestic figures manifested instantly, followed by several immortal gods.

Yet even though the two Daoist Monarchs hadn’t revealed their Divine True Bodies, the atmosphere they presented was enough to eliminate worries.

A Daoist Monarch gathers Eternal Will, also possessing a degree of authority deep in the Sea of Chaos Origin.

This is the true manifestation of "my mind is the Celestial Mind, my will is the Heavenly Will."

"Greetings, Patriarch, greetings, Di Huang Daoist Monarch!"

At the entrance of Tongshan, all the immortals together performed a great ceremony and bowed.

Zhang Jian hurriedly descended from the cloud, helping everyone up.

"This disciple cannot bear such grand ceremonies from the elders!"

"If there is to be a ceremony, this disciple should pay respects to all the elders!"

King Yu observed and smiled, for the Tongshan Dao Lineage values hierarchy more than Dao Practice or cultivation; Zhang Jian’s accomplishments in every aspect left him without blemish!

Upon hearing this, he laughed.

"Ah Yu, such a grand ceremony from a Daoist Monarch, others might not be able to withstand!"

Zhang Jian was momentarily stunned by this, then smiled gently.

"Indeed, this disciple was presumptuous!"

The immortals all smiled warmly upon witnessing this.

After the laughter, everyone collectively entered the great hall.

After recalling old times, King Yu approached Zhang Jian, who was within reach, intending to offer some guidance.

"Ah Yu, most immortal gods in the Qi Cultivation path develop their authority autonomously; they are both immortal and god. But now that you have become a Daoist Monarch and grasp the authority of the Great Dao, you ought to generate subordinate gods to blend destiny and authority smoothly!"

Zhang Jian nodded.

What King Yu said was true; he cannot always attend to everything personally.

As far as he knew, many Daoist Monarchs established great realms as Divine Kingdoms under them to assist in evolving their authority and blending destiny.

Now as Di Huang Daoist Monarch, he holds numerous authorities under him, such as the salvation and conversion authority transformed from the Qinglian Celestial Venerable’s incarnation. If he could nurture a class of immortals, or a team of salvation God Kings, when All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds face arduous tasks, he could assign them to relieve suffering, which would both cultivate disciples and disciples-subordinates while saving much effort, an absolute win!

King Yu casually mentioned, also offering Zhang Jian some Dharma Gates of Daoist Monarch cultivation.

However, every Daoist Monarch attains enlightenment on their own, not following others’ paths; he only provided limited experiences, just advising paths in traveling All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

For instance, some places where even Daoist Monarchs might encounter danger.

Or some heterodox secret techniques that could harm a Daoist Monarch.

Zhang Jian greatly benefited from all of this.

At this time, King Yu didn’t mind the numerous Second Generation Disciples or Third Generation Disciples in the great hall; even many immortal gods secretly remembered.

Such experiences are rare to come by.

After a brief pause, King Yu then asked Zhang Jian about his dream of returning to ancient times and encountering the Ancient True Goddess Nuwa.

"Ah Yu, when usually tribulations are crossed at the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, you might be led by the Celestial Realm’s Heavenly Dao Will to experience part of its historical fragments. Few can enter the Middle Ages; yet you returned to ancient times..."

And most importantly, you met the Ancient True Goddess Nuwa.

King Yu’s solemn expression showed astonishment in his eyes!

Zhang Jian’s lips slightly curled; it was more than just meeting the Ancient True Goddess Nuwa. He participated in the water-fire conflict, the human race’s execution tribulation, the ancient last tribulation.

At this moment, Zhang Jian didn’t hide anything and recounted some of his experiences one by one.

Including some of his gains.
