Chapter 986 -623: Conferment of Rewards (4K)_2

Many authorities were directly rejected by Zhang Jian.

Although he studied under the Tongshan Dao Lineage, this fact will not change, but now he has completed his apprenticeship and established his own foundation. Naturally, he will not return to vie for the limited authority and resources with his fellow disciples.

As for some benefits, they can be kept.

After all, he still has disciples and children practicing in the Tongshan Dao Lineage.

For instance, Shi Rui, Zhang Yi, Zhang Xian, and others.

However, after proclaiming himself a Daoist Monarch, he will undoubtedly establish a Divine Kingdom. His only disciple at the Tongshan Dao Lineage won’t be able to stay there long. Soon, they will likely return under his tutelage, to oversee the major operations of his lineage on his behalf and represent his interests in various negotiations.

Upon achieving the status of a Daoist Monarch, not only will his Dao Practice but also his status in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds will be completely different, and what he will face will be entirely different as well.

That night, the Tongshan Dao Lineage was engulfed in revelry.

…

Central Celestial Realm, Celestial Court.

Celestial Realm, Upper Fifth Layer.

After Zhang Jian accomplished his recognition as a Daoist Monarch, soon celestial envoys entered the fifth layer of the Nine Netherworld Spirit Emperor’s Mansion to announce the decree.

The envoy was also considered an ‘old acquaintance’ of the Nine Netherworld Spirit Emperor’s Mansion.

Taibai Star Monarch.

Outside the mansion, Madam Qi led many Zhang Clan members out to greet.

Beside them were groups of consorts.

The ladies all knelt to receive the decree.

This was the Celestial Emperor’s decree. While the beginning contained flowery official rhetoric, the implication within filled the ladies with exhilaration.

It was that the Nine Netherworld Spirit Emperor Zhang Jian had successfully been promoted to a Daoist Monarch.

The name of the Earth Emperor Daoist Monarch now resounded across heaven and earth.

At this moment, the many members of the Zhang Clan behind were also unable to contain their joy.

Were it not for fear of improper conduct in front of Taibai Star Monarch, they would have surely cheered aloud.

Yet they still couldn’t hide their joyful smiles.

From this moment forward, the Zhang Immortal Race in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would also see a significant rise, worthy of being called a Daoist Monarch Lineage.

Taibai Star Monarch noted this scene with a smile, not surprised.

This time the Jade Emperor sent him here, of course not just for congratulations.

There were also some substantial gifts, without which how could they attract such a newly ascended Daoist Monarch.

The most valuable reward was raising the order of the Nine Netherworld Spirit Emperor’s sequence by one.

From the ninth within the High Tier Third Sequence, it was raised to the tenth within the Dukes Third Sequence.

This is the treatment that a Celestial Daoist Monarch deserved to have.

Besides, there was ‘real gold and silver’!

The Jade Emperor generously bestowed some rare treasures, including a gourd of Nine-Turn Soul Reviving Pills and a gourd of Seven-Turn Golden Cores, from the Douluo Palace.

Though the Seven-Turn Golden Core is not as miraculous as the Nine-Turn Golden Core, it is still a pill capable of cultivating a Taiyi Level Celestial Immortal.

Moreover, its side effects are minimal.

A gourd contains twenty pills.

Equating to being able to cultivate at least over ten Taiyi Level Immortals. If administered to a Taiyi Level Immortal, there is a hope of cultivating several Taiyi True Number Level immortals.

If given by Taiyi True Number Level immortals to their subordinates, there is hope to cultivate one to two Taiyi Celestial Immortals.

This is considered a great gift.

Moreover, the Jade Emperor waved his hand and granted a piece of Spirit Mountain Cave Mansion in the upper ninth layer of the Central Celestial Realm as a celestial domain.

This is the main event.

Each Spirit Mountain Blessed Land in the upper ninth layer of the Central Celestial Realm is filled with dense Celestial Essence Qi, making these domains highly sought after.

Celestial Realm’s many immortals and gods always find them in short supply.

“The Daoist Monarch hasn’t returned yet, so we, the concubines, thank the Great Celestial Venerable for this generous bestowal on his behalf!”

As Zhang Jian’s Dao Companion, Madam Qi rightly accepted the Celestial Emperor’s decree on behalf of Zhang Jian.

Taibai Star Monarch, with a smiling face, slightly swept his duster and laughed.

“Congratulations Madame Qi, the Emperor’s Mansion has finally produced a Daluo Immortal!”

“Additionally, the Jade Pool Decree will be sent later, conferring titles to Lady Yu Qi and many Immortal Consorts!”

Madam Qi, with a subtle smile in her beautiful eyes, immediately cupped her hands and said.

“Thank you, Star Monarch. The mansion has already prepared a banquet. Why don’t you stay and have a drink?”

Taibai Star Monarch smiled faintly and replied.

“I have other official duties; there’s no need to trouble Lady Qi!”

With a slight smile, he quickly left, not wanting to encounter the female immortal of the Jasper Pool.

Indeed, shortly after, Yaochi Fairy Daoist Monarch Tianyue arrived, bringing the Jade Pool Decree from Queen Yaochi. Aside from congratulating Zhang Jian, the decree also elevated Madam Qi, granting her the celestial title of Celestial Instrument Goddess with a Jasper Pool Sequence of Nine.

The other consorts were also richly rewarded, receiving appointments from the Jasper Pool, although not as prestigious as Madam Qi’s. Most were conferred as Celestial Consorts with a Sequence of Six.

A Sequence of Six is merely the apex of the middle tier sequence, showing a significant gap from the high third tier sequence.

Yet, from an ordinary female immortal without backing, to directly being at the pinnacle of the middle tier in the Jasper Pool, able to receive immortal salary yearly and cultivate within the Jasper Pool, this is a great honor.

The immortals were all smiles, extremely delighted.

It’s not just because of the conferred titles, but more because their husband has smoothly attained the Daoist Monarch’s Dao Fruit.

“Elder sister, we should celebrate heartily today!”

Beside her, Madam Meng, who was usually taciturn, also had eyes brimming with shimmering autumn water, eyes radiating brightly.

Madam Yun also nodded slightly.

“The Emperor smoothly attains the Daoist Monarch Position; this is a blessing for all of Jiuyou Emperor’s Mansion, and the heavens will protect our Zhang Clan’s fortune eternally!”

Madam Qi swept her eyes over many immortals in the mansion, seeing everyone with excited expressions, and their Dao Heart calm yet unable to suppress the excitement, she spoke.

“Good, then today I will overreach once, open up part of the treasury on behalf of the Emperor, and hold a Zhang Clan family banquet to celebrate the Emperor’s attainment of the Daoist Monarch!”

Upon hearing this, many Zhang Clan immortals present could no longer contain the fluctuations in their Dao Hearts, and they all began to cheer.

“Earth Emperor Daoist Monarch!”

Voices skyrocketed, unique in this pure place of the Celestial Court, attracting the attention of many celestial immortals, who upon hearing the news from the outside, couldn’t stay seated.

Many celestial immortals who normally considered themselves composed were moved.

For a time, the entrance of Jiuyou Emperor’s Mansion on the fifth layer of the Celestial Realm was bustling with visitors.

…

In the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, Zhang Jian hasn’t left. He plans to first consolidate his Daoist Monarch’s Dao Practice here, then return to Pingxin Hall to reclaim the positions of Jiuyou Spirit Emperor and Nether Moon Emperor.

After all, he still holds an immortal position.

Holding these two special divine positions with his previous Taiyi Great Perfection body seemed somewhat presumptuous, but now with a Daoist Monarch’s body, it’s perfectly fitting.

Additionally, he intends to visit the Houtu Earth Goddess.

Back then, Houtu Earth Goddess agreed to help him, and in turn, he promised to handle a ‘small matter’ for her.

…

In the Qingqiu Land, under the Jia Ling Cyan Rong Tree, Zhang Jian sat cross-legged, surrounded by swirling purple-yellow immortal light, with his Dao Fruit Cloud ascending from the depths of his brow, presenting an expanse of purple-yellow cloud light within, with divine power vast and grand.

Although he had already advanced many Tier Five Immortal Techniques from the Map of Mountains and Rivers into Tier One Eternal Dao Skills during ancient times, the feeling now is entirely different.

These Eternal Dao Skills, he operates much more fluidly.

The attack from Bai Ze Demon Saint opened many new approaches for him.

The use of Daoist Technique at the Daoist Venerable Level is indeed wondrous.

With his comprehension, he can entirely strive in this direction.

Moreover, during ancient times, his so-called Daoist Monarch’s Dao Fruit was mainly supported by the Daoist Monarch Position, lacking in power.

Now, with the shortfall supplemented, even without the Daoist Monarch Position, he remains the Daoist Monarch of All Heaven and Myriad of Worlds, unchanged.

No matter in any space-time or temporal dimension, he will always be the Daoist Monarch.

The power will not shift, never regressing.

With two Dao Fruits combined, it also grants him a great leap in Daoist Monarch’s Dao Practice, Primordial Spirit, and even Eternal Will.

Zhang Jian now feels that the powerful tribulation he endured in the ancient space-time wasn’t in vain.

Whether in Dao Practice, understanding of Daoist Monarch’s power, or even the Daoist Venerable perspective of viewing the world, he now has a clear understanding, which is of immense significance to him.

Not to mention his Dao Practice has doubled in growth.

If combined with the Earth Emperor Daoist Monarch Position equivalent to a Third-Turn Daoist Monarch, along with two Innate Spiritual Treasures, indeed, he can engage a Third-Turn Daoist Monarch in combat.

This is a rather significant leap.

Yet Zhang Jian knows it is about what he can achieve at most.

Facing terrifying entities like Daoist Venerables, even with Innate Spiritual Treasures, cannot bridge this difference.

When it’s time to run, he must still run!

But with such Dao Practice, it’s enough to establish a solid foundation among All Heavens and Myriad of Worlds.
