Chapter 988 -624: Following the Requirements of Houtu, Emulating Heavenly Magic

This Earth Emperor Daoist Monarch had not yet achieved perfect Dao Practice at that time; with his abilities, how could he have saved Ji City from the hands of a Demon Monarch?

Even Daoist Monarch Lianshan couldn’t save Ji City, so blaming this Earth Emperor Daoist Monarch is indeed unreasonable.

Forming a deadly feud with such a promising young Daoist Monarch seems unnecessary as well.

Ji Qing pondered, and with a thought, he discussed the matter briefly with Ji Yuan, obtaining Ji Yuan’s support, and soon he made up his mind.

On the arena, after the draw, both sides stopped at the point.

Neither the White Emperor Daoist Monarch nor Zhang Jian wanted to easily expose their trump cards, and neither wished to decide life and death again, so they simply made do without further conflict.

However, after two great battles, Zhang Jian had fewer troubles.

In the field, many Daoist Monarchs curious or hostile towards him refrained from further probing Immortal Techniques.

Like the Emperor Fengwu of the Tenth Heaven in the Celestial Realm.

“Senior Brother Fengwu, it seems this test is no longer necessary!”

At this time, another Celestial Human Royal Family member standing nearby had a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

That was another Daoist Monarch of the Celestial Human Royal Family.

The Realm Master of the Nineteenth Heaven Realm, Emperor Du E.

Beside him stood another famous and peerless genius of the Celestial Human Royal Family.

Celestial Monarch Zhonghua.

This Realm Master was also Celestial Monarch Zhonghua’s teacher.

He held a high and influential position in the Central Celestial Realm.

Emperor Du E, with an immortal demeanor and handsome face but full of white hair, had his white hair pinned up with a Jade Hairpin, looking free and relaxed.

At this moment, he sighed somewhat.

“Third-Turn Daoist Monarch Position, this is already equivalent to our Celestial Realm Sovereign Authority!”

Although the Daoist Monarch Realm has only three turns, the Eternal Dao Skill level is of Tier Five, as it corresponds to the Fifth-Turn Divine Dao Position.

In ancient times, the Daluo Realm actually had five layers.

But in modern times, many Great Divine Ability Users believed the latter two layers were unnecessary, thus proposing the concept of three turns, which was eventually adopted by many powerful entities across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

However, the notion of Tier Five Eternal Immortal Technique and Fifth-Turn Divine Dao Position still prevailed.

There was indeed a significant difference within them.

Every position upgrade encompasses drastic differences in power, destiny, even origin held by the Daoist Monarch Position.

But Emperor Fengwu and Emperor Du E mostly envied Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian’s Third-Turn Position compared to their Sovereign Authority Position is different.

Away from the Central Celestial Realm, their Third-Turn Sovereign Authority quickly falls.

The farther from the Central Celestial Realm, the steeper the decline.

Whereas Zhang Jian’s Third-Turn Position is akin to a natural attribute Daoist Monarch Position; wherever there is Power of Heaven and Earth, much can seize the Authority of the Earth, thereby sustaining the dignity of the Third-Turn Daoist Monarch Position.

The distinction is vast.

Usually, natural attribute Daoist Monarch Positions are rarer than non-natural type Daoist Monarch Positions.

Of course, their potential is enormous.

Just like the Xuan Ming Divine Position that emerged not long ago, it is the most primordial Divine Position between Heaven and Earth, originally belonging to Daoist Venerable level powerful Innate Divine Position.

Though demoted later, it still bears near Fifth-Turn Daoist Monarch Position power.

…

The Earth Emperor Daoist Monarch banquet concluded in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

After showcasing a portion of Dao Practice, guests from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds clearly understood the strength, background, and weight of this Earth Emperor Daoist Monarch, naturally making appropriate adjustments.

This is a distribution of speaking authority.

This is enough to save many troubles.

It’s much better compared to the Six Great Demon Realms.

In the Six Great Demon Realms, the distribution of speaking authority is far more bloody, typically requiring stepping on peers’ corpses to rise.

Besides, the Three Emperors Celestial Realm sent a special envoy, presenting congratulatory gifts.

In addition to extending congratulations, they elevated the authority of the celestial sequence from ninth to tenth.

Originally an Elder of Haosheng Hall, now becoming the Right Hall Master of Haosheng Hall.

Meanwhile bestowing innumerable Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Rare Treasures and Exotic Fruits, considered a generous reward.

Henceforth Zhang Jian is a powerful Duke tier in both the Three Emperors Celestial Realm and Central Celestial Realm listed in sequence tenth.

Were he to be stationed anywhere in the celestial realms, he could serve as a Celestial Emperor or hold a deputy position of a realm palace!

However, such opportunities for posting externally are rarely seen.

Whether King Yu and his wife, or Zhang Jian, they are very satisfied with such an outcome.

Entering sequence tenth also means Zhang Jian has entered the core of the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly, belonging to core powers, possessing the authority to enter the Three Emperors Palace for discussions and even voting.

The speaking authority of the Tongshan Dao Lineage in the Three Emperors Palace is further enhanced.

Good news followed one after another; not long after, Ji Family commanded someone to enter the Central Celestial Realm, Jiuyou Emperor’s Mansion to discuss matters regarding Ji Xueqiong’s acknowledgment of ancestry, and inclusion into the genealogical record of Tao City’s Ji Family.

Moreover, the envoy dispatched was the Second Generation Ancestor of the Ji Family from the Zhou Mountain Realm.

Equally a descendant of the Saint Empress.

This can be considered giving enough face.

…

Central Celestial Realm, Jiuyou Emperor’s Mansion.

Zhang Jian returns in his true body, accompanied by Madam Qi on one side and Ji Xueqiong from the Ji Family on the other.

There was a hint of emotion in Ji Xueqiong’s eyes.

“I never expected the Ji Family to be so pragmatic!”

Zhang Jian smiled faintly and said.

“Noble Families are often a combination of interests, especially their leaders and clan leaders, most are swayed by familial interests, even if they are descendants of the Holy Emperor, they are often powerless!”

Zhang Jian was not surprised.

One can maintain integrity, unmotivated by interests.

But within a group, especially as a leader, he understands the hardship within.

Therefore, Zhang Jian now takes a hands-off approach, delegating management to several heirs, thus maintaining progress in his Dao Heart, free from entanglement.

Seeing Ji Family’s expression, Zhang Jian then said with a smile.

“Congratulations Madam, at last, your wish is fulfilled!”

Ji Family smiled gracefully: “The Ji Family is good, but still not as great a support as you, husband!”

Nearby, Madam Qi laughed upon hearing this.

Indeed what Ji Family said is true.

Returning to the Tao City clan registry is merely icing on the cake.

The difference between returning or not is not significant.

But Ji Family decides to return not for support this time, just to fulfill an old wish, to perfect her resolve.

Returning home in glory is also her wish.

Zhang Jian supports Ji Family’s decision as well!

…

After returning to the Central Celestial Realm and meeting with Zhang’s family members, Zhang Jian plans to continue returning to the Underworld Palace.

After all, he is the Nether Moon Emperor and the Nine Netherworld Spirit Emperor of the Underworld Palace.

After handling some documents in Pingxin Hall, Zhang Jian enters the Pingxin Main Hall to see Earth Goddess Houtu.

Zhang Jian never forgets his transaction with Lady Houtu.

In Pingxin Grand Hall, after a brief salute, Zhang Jian states his purpose.

“Lady, Zhang Jian comes to fulfill his promise!”

“That matter, you have already done, you and I are clear!”

In Pingxin Hall, on the divine seat, a smile appeared on Lady Houtu’s lips.

“Done?”

Below the hall, Zhang Jian was taken aback, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, suddenly recalling the strange and incomparable Four Tribulations of Becoming, Dwelling, Decaying, and Emptiness.

“Does Lady mean…”

Is there a subtle guess?

It was because of Lady Pingxin’s intervention that he directly dreamt of ancient times.

On the divine seat, Lady Pingxin only smiled silently, seemingly admitting Zhang Jian’s assumption.

This further confirms Zhang Jian’s guess.

It turns out he was influenced by this lady?

Zhang Jian’s thoughts flow, and he can be certain now, deep in his Primordial Spirit, there won’t be any anomaly, otherwise, with his powerful and special Primordial Spirit, he would definitely notice.

In an instant, Zhang Jian guessed.

The problem might be on the Nine Netherworld Spirit Emperor’s Authority, this authority came from Lady Houtu’s hand.

Plus the Nether Moon Emperor’s Authority.

Both Emperor Authorities come from the Underworld Palace.

With Lady Houtu’s methods, it’s too easy to exert influence within!

So what does this lady want by letting him dream back to ancient times?

Zhang Jian was secretly alarmed.

But he still clasped hands and said.

“This humble god’s enlightenment is also dependent on Lady’s prestige, if Lady has orders in the future, this humble god will surely not refuse!”

Zhang Jian slightly clasped hands.

Zhang Jian dislikes owing favors, especially from a Great Divine Ability User.

This time in the Wilderness World, breaking through that Void Tribulation relied on Houtu Earth Goddess’s divine prestige, thus directly demonstrating his stance.

“Hmm, you are indeed thoughtful!”

After a slight pause, deep within Pingxin Hall, Lady Houtu smiled and said.

“Since that’s the case, then help this palace in one small task! After that, you and I will be clear!”

“Please, Lady, instruct!”
