Chapter 991 - 626: The Celestial Emperor’s Gaze

Chapter 991: Chapter 626: The Celestial Emperor’s Gaze

Eastern Immortal Realm, Qingyi City, Fengqiao Town, Madam Zhang’s old mansion.

Zhang Nan led many Elders of the Zhang Clan and Zhang Clan members to personally welcome them at the gate.

After tens of thousands of years had passed, Zhang Nan, as the clan leader of the Zhang Clan in the Central Celestial Realm, had now also stepped into the Taiyi Realm in his Dao Practice.

For him, this was considered extremely rapid.

This level, he was very satisfied.

Beside him were several Celestial Immortal Elders who entered Fengqiao Town together tens of thousands of years ago, including Taiyin Fairy, and some Duke Ancestors of Zhou Mountain Realm.

These were all Zhang Jian’s old subordinates from back in the day.

At this moment, upon seeing Zhang Jian arrive, many immortals of Zhou Mountain Realm showed respect in their eyes one by one.

"Daoist Monarch!"

Upon seeing Zhang Jian, all the immortals bowed to pay their respects, but Zhang Jian waved his hand to lift them up.

"You are all considered old ministers of the Zhang Clan, having followed me from the Lower Realm, so there is no need to be overly ceremonious!"

Zhang Jian had a smile on his face.

He noticed that among these old ministers, several were missing.

Although the Central Celestial Realm is where the Celestial Court is located, it is not without disputes.

Especially since the expansion of the Zhang Clan, it inevitably infringes upon the interests of some immortals, causing losses.

Zhang Jian helped the Immortal Gods up, glanced around, and reassured several people, and then, surrounded by Zhang Nan and others, entered the old mansion.

Still following the old custom, first starting with the worship of Heaven and Earth.

Afterwards, the ancestral worship continued.

This time, Zhang Clan did not invite many guests.

With Daoist Monarch level ancestors present, Zhang Clan of the Central Celestial Realm no longer needs to rely on this pretense.

An ancestor at the Daoist Monarch Realm is the confidence.

Zhang Jian also had no intention of letting Zhang Nan and others continue to set up an elaborate ceremony. After a small-scale ritual to the heavens, he, accompanied by many Zhang Clan members, entered the Ancestral Hall for ancestral worship.

In the Ancestral Hall, at the head position, several square Divine Master Tablets stood within the huge shrine.

Most of them had portraits or Golden Bodies, only some distant ancestors had only Divine Master Tablets receiving the incense of Zhang Clan.

After the everyone finished worshipping, Zhang Jian then deployed the Barrier of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, conducting individual worship.

He glanced around, ensuring no one was present, then waved his hand and took out several Gold and Silver Yuanbao Mountains.

Zhang Jian estimated that this sacrifice would likely be larger than previous ones.

Because he had attained the Daoist Monarch Body.

Moreover, he became the Nether Moon Emperor, one of the Ten Great Netherworld Emperors.

In addition, he received the conferment of Lady Nvwa, obtaining the Third-Turn Daoist Monarch Position as Di Huang Divine Monarch.

With all these titles, the scale was certainly far greater than previous sacrifices.

With a thought, Zhang Jian threw mountain ranges formed by Gold and Silver Yuanbao into the central tripod furnace, a flame leapt from his hand into it, instantly igniting numerous Gold and Silver Yuanbao Mountains within the furnace, spreading light and blazing energy.

After a batch of Gold and Silver Yuanbao Mountains rapidly burned, Zhang Jian waved his hand and took out another batch of Gold and Silver Yuanbao Mountains from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, easily managing them with the Sumeru Ring.

Seeing the mountain ranges within the central tripod furnace gradually surpassing the previous amount, Zhang Jian’s eyes showed a smile.

It appeared his guess was correct.

And, during the sacrifice, Zhang Jian also sensed a different yet profound mystery of Heaven and Earth Creation.

The essence of sacrificial Dao laws, Zhang Jian was actually quite aware of.

He had countless mortals as believers in the mortal world dimension, with incense and sacrifices every moment.

With eternal will, he would have a sense.

This was an output of pure soul thoughts.

Every person contributes a little, accumulating into mountains and seas.

As he ignited the sacrificial fire, Zhang Jian perceived that he seemed capable of leveraging an unusual strand of Heaven and Earth Dao laws from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, resonating with the Heavenly Dao of All Heavens Void.

It seemed he was not alone in the sacrifice.

Rather, a person’s destiny could leverage some unique rule deep within All Heavens Void, causing the Heavenly Dao to output sacrifice.

It was a very peculiar feature.

Seemingly resonating with the Sea of Chaos Origin from All Heavens Void, its essence was quite peculiar.

Zhang Jian had an intuition, if he could understand this essence, his Dao Practice would have a great leap.

After all, he had never heard of any Great Divine Ability User who could directly induce the resonance of Heavenly Dao Origin from All Heavens Void, even involving the Heavenly Dao in the sacrifice.

It might be the key to turning decay into magic.

Zhang Jian decided that he must study thoroughly in the future.

Before achieving Daoist Monarch status, he only knew how to enter the Ancestral Hall by leveraging sacrificial means in a ’crude’ way, now it was time to fully develop this unique potential.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

He noticed the mountain ranges of Gold and Silver Yuanbao he put into the central tripod had already multiplied compared to before.

Based on his past experience, this sacrificial scale might be three to four times the previous ones.

It was truly astonishing!

When approaching four times the sacrificial quantity, the sacrificial fire ceased burning.

Zhang Jian immediately waved his hand and took out a refined Tier One Eternal Immortal Treasure.

After achieving Daoist Monarch status, his artifact refining proficiency finally matched his realm.

He was now able to refine Tier One Eternal Immortal Treasures.

Before him was a yellowish, Divine Map filled with Dao rhymes of numerous Divine Mountains and Great Rivers.

This treasure was named Wilderness Mountain Range Map.

It was the result of his comprehension of the Wilderness Mountain Range and the Dao Rhyme of the Earth Vein in the Wilderness World.

Lucky for him, holding the authority of the Earth Soul over the Four Extremes and Eight Wildernesses allowed him to imprint some of the divine essence of the many earth veins and mountains of the Wilderness World in his mind.

Yet, due to limited time, it was unfortunate that he hadn’t had the chance to comprehend some of the famous Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands or the top-tier renowned mountains and great rivers of the Wilderness World.

Like Kunlun, or the collapsed Zhou Mountain Celestial Pillar.

This is the Root of the Earth, of utmost importance.

He only had time to comprehend the Five Sacred Peaks condensed by the Zhou Mountain fragments.

Yet, even if he only gained a part from the Wilderness Mountain and River Earth Vein Creation, he greatly benefited.

With a thought, Zhang Jian threw the Wilderness Mountain Range Map into the Tripod Furnace, and at that moment, the Wilderness Mountain Range Map ignited.

Blue smoke curled upwards, straight to the sky.

...

Celestial Upper Realm Eighth Layer, in the vast Immortal Realm, white clouds drift peacefully, a scene of harmony, filled with auspiciousness and tranquility.

Upon the Cloud Bed, Daoist Monarch Qingxia sensed it the moment the sacrifice began in the Lower Realm.

Her figure had already appeared before the Two Realms Pool.

Wherever her gaze reached, she saw heavy ripples arising in the Nine-Colored Pool Water within the Two Realms Pool.

In that instant, she raised a delicate hand and slapped the Two Realms Pool, and suddenly, the entire Two Realms Pool quieted down.

Boom!

Immediately, the entire Two Realms Pool roared, layers of magnificent golden light manifested from within, rising straight to the sky.

Daoist Monarch Qingxia was prepared, her delicate hand channeling blue Divine Light within her palm, encompassing a layer of Dao Realm over the Two Realms Pool, instantly allowing flawless incense, likened to a golden ocean, to submerge into myriad visionary Dao Realm countries.

Within the Dao Realm countries, golden pillars appeared to support the heavens, standing firm.

These were solidified golden countries.

Each golden country was equivalent to a billion flawless incense.

And in these moments, there was a hundred and ten of them, also infused with intense Heavenly Dao Essence.

Such top-grade flawless incense is coveted by Daoist Monarchs and Daoist Venerables alike.

Hard to relinquish.

Daoist Monarch Qingxia, feeling this moment, couldn’t help but be infinitely delighted.

Putting feedback aside, who could reject such benefits!

Underneath the surging gold light, the blue Dao Realm in her palm continuously expanded under this power, revealing various magnificent scenes, forming a universe driven by incense and faith, where everything within was dominated by incense and belief.

It incorporated soul, virtuality, existence and non-existence, cycle, and various profound intricacies gathered, alongside an invisible Great Dao Rule formed.

This power of rules surpassed the Heaven and Earth Dao evolution, forming its own unity.

Daoist Monarch Qingxia discovered that after just moments, the incense countries within the blue Dao Realm had already exceeded a thousand.

This is a trillion flawless incense.

This is an incredibly astonishing amount of incense.

Daoist Monarch Qingxia turned from joy to worry.

This scale of sacrifice probably exceeded the limit of feedback she could provide this time.

This change made Daoist Monarch Qingxia secretly worried.

However, the sacrifice did not stop; instead, the flawless incense continued to expand.

Under Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s somewhat shaken gaze, it surpassed two trillion.

Two trillion flawless incense.

Within this, the blue Dao Realm was permeated with a rich Heavenly Dao Essence, as if strands of Celestial Dao Origin filled the blue Dao Realm.

This portent profoundly shocked Daoist Monarch Qingxia.

It truly exceeded her imagination.

And roughly after two thousand four hundred golden countries were formed, this incense flow slowly halted.

Two trillion four hundred billion flawless incense!

Daoist Monarch Qingxia looked at the Heavenly Dao sounds resonating above the Two Realms Pool, her eyes filled with deep waves.

Previous sacrifices tens of times, combined, were not as grand in scale as this one.

Following, within the Two Realms Pool, Immortal Sound echoed endlessly, endless Innate Divine Light burst forth, connecting with the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Central Celestial Realm, manifesting several Heaven and Earth Dao Laws.

Among them were Earth Element Law, Earth Law, and Turbid Air, Suppression, among other multiple Heaven and Earth Dao Law origins descending.

Observing such an exaggerated Innate phenomenon, Daoist Monarch Qingxia was solemn.

She knew that this time might lead to the birth of a top-grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure.

She unfolded the Incense Dao Realm, exerting effort to suppress this change and phenomenon.

With the resounding Heavenly Dao sounds, infinite auspicious phenomena intensified, within the Two Realms Pool, a yellowish earth Innate Divine Light emerged and was instantly captured by Daoist Monarch Qingxia.

Before her was a Dao Map containing the vast universe’s dimensions of earth, mountains, rivers, and shifts.

"Upper-Grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure Wilderness Mountain Range Map: contains eight Innate Divine Prohibitions, embodying the power of mountains and rivers across all heavens and universes, truly an Upper-Grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure!"

Holding this Dao Map, Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s complexion changed.

"Eight Innate Divine Prohibitions, how shall I handle this?"

Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s expression transformed, her countenance filled with more worry.

Even if she were to be sold, she feared this time she could not repay this karmic debt.

Where would she find such high-grade Upper-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

But just then, the Qingxia Immortal Realm suddenly underwent various changes. Daoist Monarch Qingxia’s gaze shifted, her expression changed, as she tried to cast a spell, but a vast, immense power directly shattered her Qingxia Immortal Realm.

Before her, a supreme, noble figure dressed in the Nine Dragon Infinite Celestial Emperor’s Robe appeared.

Seeing this figure, she couldn’t help but turn pale.

"Father?"
