Chapter 985: Chapter 623: Investiture

The greatest achievement was being appointed as the Di Huang Divine Monarch, overseeing a portion of the Earth Soul Authority in the Four Extremes and Eight Wildernesses.

As for the other Heaven and Earth Divine Objects and Treasures found.

Zhang Jian discovered that after they returned, they all directly transformed into pure Innate Essence Qi, merging into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

That ancient era may indeed be just a projection of a part of the space-time past of all heavens and myriads of worlds.

It exists, and it is real.

But it could also be said that they don’t exist, they have already become the past.

At least after Zhang Jian participated in the competition of water and fire, he did not perceive any profound yellow merit or power of destiny descending with it.

Only the Divine Dao Authority acquired within, as well as the profound mysteries of the Heavenly and Earthly Dao Laws, including the great powers of transformation, were real.

Even the Great Divine Ability Users within might also be real.

Therefore, Zhang Jian speculated that he might have merely intercepted a space-time projection from the past years.

However, with the ability of the Sea of Chaos Origin, even if it actively created a space-time projection, it was still a short-lived, real world. Just as he left, that world might experience destruction again.

Like a space-time bubble, it is short-lived.

Of course, even though the four tribulations of creation, subsistence, destruction, and emptiness form a short-lived space-time world, it certainly cannot be hidden from those Great Divine Ability Users.

Thus, those Great Divine Ability Users should be able to perceive the changes born in that space-time bubble.

With the strength of a Daoist Monarch level expert, they can achieve alignment of their intention with the heavens, even more so with terrifying beings like Lady Nvwa and Houtu Earth Goddess, who must be exceptionally aware of the space-time world born of Heaven and Earth Creation.

Does this not indicate that he truly gained recognition from the Ancient True Goddess Nvwa?

Zhang Jian pondered with hidden thoughts, but soon suppressed all distracting thoughts.

King Yu sighed at this moment.

"I did not expect your four tribulations of creation, subsistence, destruction, and emptiness to be so terrifying!"

Beside him, Tianhe Master stroked his five-willow long beard, and as Zhang Jian narrated, his hands had already stiffened.

Be it the competition of water and fire, the tribulation of the Human Race, or even the immeasurable tribulation of the ancient era, each tribulation was anything but nerve-wracking.

The level of danger was immensely terrifying.

Tianhe Master regretted actively probing into this matter, as it would cast a shadow deep within his Dao Heart.

In the future, how could one dare to readily rush into the Destruction Tribulation?

King Yu also shook his head repeatedly; it was truly extraordinary for Zhang Jian to break through such terrifying tribulations and achieve the Daoist Monarch body, considering him an anomaly!

This also highlights his exceptional fortune, wisdom, and perseverance.

Otherwise, replace him with any Immortal God, and they might have perished in such perilous worlds.

One should know that during the ancient era, Innate Demon Gods and Innate Gods were at their peak outbreak period, making it highly probable to encounter powerful beings at that time.

Just seeing the expressions on the Tongshan Dao Lineage Immortals’ faces, who appeared both dumbfounded and empathetic, he immediately said.

"Ah Yu’s kind of tribulation is merely an example; although the four tribulations of creation, subsistence, destruction, and emptiness are dangerous, they usually trace back only to the initial birth of a celestial realm, and not directly to the middle or ancient eras!"

He speculated further.

"This matter might somehow be related to a particular fate of Ah Yu; otherwise, such a transformation wouldn’t have occurred!"

After a slight pause, he added.

"However, fortunately, danger often comes with great creation. Ah Yu, although you underwent various risks, gaining the favor and guidance of our Human Race’s Holy Mother Lady Nvwa is indeed a major opportunity. Besides, the position of the Di Huang Divine Monarch is vast and ancient, not inferior to the Third-Turn Daoist Monarch Position, greatly benefitting your cultivation!"

Hearing this, King Yu also felt a bit envious.

Gaining the appointment from Lady Nvwa’s golden mouth is a level of fortune even he envies.

Zhang Jian slightly nodded in acknowledgment.

The other Tongshan Dao Lineage Immortals also had their eyes slightly brightened.

To meet the Ancient True Goddess Nvwa is such a grand creation.

Tianhe Master also relaxed his face, and his Dao Heart quickly calmed.

He also praised at this time.

"Di Huang Daoist Monarch is indeed the supporting beam of Tongshan Dao Lineage, to receive such favor from Lady Nvwa signifies profound destiny!"

The other Tongshan Dao Lineage Immortals slightly nodded.

The Ancient True Goddess Nvwa is a goddess whose name echoes through all heavens and myriads of worlds.

It had been a long time since the gods last witnessed the goddess’s presence.

Gaining this goddess’s favor makes it hard not to stir feelings of envy.

Now, King Yu was in high spirits and proceeded to say.

"Ah Yu, having now successfully verified the position of Daoist Monarch, it is no longer appropriate for Tongshan Dao Lineage to only bestow the title of Supreme Elder to you. From this day on, you are the Vice Sect Leader of Tongshan Dao Lineage, a position equal to mine. If I am not present, you can completely take over the divine Immortal gods of Tongshan Dao Lineage!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Tongshan Immortals displayed slight astonishment.

This is almost the treatment of the master of the Dao Lineage.

However, given that Zhang Jian is now a Daoist Monarch, merely offering a position of Supreme Elder for the Tongshan Dao Lineage is clearly insufficient.

Facing the gazes of King Yu and the Immortals, Zhang Jian cupped his hands and said.

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

He readily accepted it, without declining.

With his identity as a Daoist Monarch, becoming the Vice Sect Leader of Tongshan Dao Lineage would not be considered overstepping, but rather it would bring glory to the sect’s gate.

In the distance, True Monarch Zhanmo looked at the sun-like figure at the center of the Supreme Virtue Palace, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder.

Ever since she welcomed Zhang Jian into the sect, she truly never imagined that her direct disciple could reach such a stage.

At the same time, there was also a proud look on her face.

The position of Sect Leader does not just come with mere honor, but also carries with it numerous authorities and resources.
