Chapter 290: Star Soul

Red flames burned within the ancestral shrine.

Most of the gold and silver ingots were completely turned into blue smoke.

And among them, the most important five-colored magic sword also burned, turning into blue smoke.

"Success!"

Zhang Jian looked at most of the burning gold and silver ingots.

A hint of something unusual appeared in his eyes; this time's offering of gold and silver ingots was nearly double the previous amount, even more, making it the highest in several offerings.

I just don't know if I can pull out something good.

Usually, the value of the offering items is proportional to the value of the treasures obtained.

After the offering, Zhang Jian supported Qi Yuhua as they left; Qi Yuhua's delivery date was approaching, her body felt somewhat unusual at this time, and Zhang Jian was also very worried.

He then supported Qi Yuhua into the pavilion, using magic power to nourish her body.

At the same time, he took out the Innate Mysterious Female Origin Pearl.

This pearl indeed performed remarkably, not only regulating Qi Yuhua's body but also greatly benefiting the fetus's origin.

……

But at this moment in the Heavenly Realm, it happened to be the Queen Mother of Yaochi's birthday celebration, with all gods and immortals gathered.

In Yaochi, songs and dances filled the air of peace, celestial melodies echoed.

At this time, Qingxia Daoist Monarch sat on equal footing with many ancient gods, a smile appearing between her brows.

In the distance, she saw the Taiyin Immortal Monarch also sitting among many female immortals; although she occasionally communicated with other female immortals, she remained cold as frost.

This time, at the Queen Mother of Yaochi's grand banquet, she managed to suppress this arch-rival, finally gaining the upper hand.

She presented the Milky Way Golden Hairpin as a birthday gift; this single item alone overwhelmed many ancient immortals who came to celebrate.

The Queen Mother of Yaochi was also extremely pleased with this; in her joy, she bestowed special favor.

This special favor is more precious than any elixir, even more so than spiritual roots.

Beside her, the Hundred Herbs Immortal Maiden smiled sweetly.

"Sister, look at that immortal monarch's complexion— isn't it rare? Such a color is hard to come by in a thousand years!"

Qingxia Daoist Monarch Wang Yurong smiled slightly.

This time, I also let out a bad breath for her; with this move, the Queen Mother of Yaochi can openly favor her without easily provoking the enmity of the immortals, and her future cultivation path will be much smoother.

But at this moment, Qingxia Daoist Monarch's expression flickered slightly.

"Qingxia sister, what's wrong?"

At this time, surrounded by a profusion of flowers, the Peony Immortal Maiden noticed the abnormality on Qingxia Immortal Maiden's face with her wonderful eyes.

After the previous Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden was demoted to the mortal world, the Peony Immortal Maiden temporarily took charge of the divine office of the Hundred Flowers' master; she is also a good friend of Qingxia Daoist Monarch, and at this time she sensed Qingxia Daoist Monarch's abnormality, feeling somewhat surprised.

Qingxia Daoist Monarch sensed the abnormality in the dojo at this time, her expression unchanged, she smiled sweetly.

"It's nothing!"

Yet she split off a manifestation and departed.

And on another side, among the camps of many star immortals, the Taiyin Immortal Monarch felt a special great Dao totem fluctuation deep in her brow; she glanced at Qingxia Daoist Monarch and the many female immortals around her.

These female immortals slandered behind her back; with her divine powers, how could she not know?

Earlier, when she tried to punish the Hundred Flowers Immortal Maiden, she indeed offended many flower immortals.

But Qingxia Daoist Monarch's birthday offering this time truly surprised her.

A rare merit-based magical treasure actually said it would be offered and was offered.

To contend with her, she indeed spent lavishly.

However, these few tricks are nothing to her.

……

At this moment, Qingxia Daoist Monarch, in a single thought, condensed a magnificent Daoist Monarch manifestation into form in the dojo.

Far away, she saw in the Nine-Colored Pool, streams of golden light boiling like a flood.

Such a degree of incense omen, she had never seen before.

In an instant, she seemed to hear the roaring of the vast ocean, the divine light gathering and howling; then she saw a magnificent divine power overflow from the Nine-Colored Pool water, instantly transforming into a magnificent golden dragon soaring into the sky, falling onto Qingxia Daoist Monarch's divine lamp above, incense condensing.

Yet she saw on this incense divine lamp, threads upon threads of golden golden Dao patterns winding around, circle after circle, more than ten circles.

"One million two hundred thousand flawless incense!"

This number, even though Qingxia Daoist Monarch is well-traveled and knowledgeable, also felt shocking.

For lower realm deities, a million incense might be precious, but in the magnificent Heavenly Realm it is not rare.

After all, she is a Daoist Monarch, her authority radiating to various heavenly realm chief deity positions.

But one million two hundred thousand flawless incense is indeed an astonishing number.

Even if she, this Daoist Monarch, bore it, it could reduce ten thousand years of cultivation.

Subsequently, she saw profound heavenly sounds flying out from the Two Realms Pool in the void, five-colored lights flowing, as if she had heard the roaring of five magnificent primordial dragon souls.

The dragon roar resounded loudly.

Qingxia Daoist Monarch reached out and grasped; the five-colored dragon manifested in her palm, five colors intertwined, momentarily forming a five-colored dragon-pattern coiled sword body, the hilt with dragon head facing upward, an ancient sword, five-colored radiance flowing, primordial five-element Dao rhythm condensed, manifested.

"Merit-based magical treasure, Five Dragon Treasure Sword!"

Gazing at this merit-based divine sword, Qingxia Daoist Monarch's eyes flickered with a hint of smile.

This is also a merit-based magical treasure.

A magical treasure with five-element attributes usually carries a premium, let alone a merit-based magical treasure.

This treasure can be traded with the Daoist Monarch of the Great Peacock Palace; most of the great divine beings in the Great Peacock Palace are based on the five-element laws, and they would certainly find it hard to refuse such a treasure; it is said that the few cultivation items she sought to purchase during this period will soon be settled.

Qingxia Daoist Monarch's eyes sank in thought, at this time gazing into the Two Realms Pool.

After a brief meeting, she made a decision, stepped into the palace, and shortly afterward took out an object.

This object emitted a dense black-and-white mysterious light, within which the changes of sun, moon, and stars seemed visible; it was also something she had obtained by chance and coincidence, extremely precious, originally intended to exchange with a major power for indispensable cultivation resources, but now that she had obtained the Five Dragons Divine Sword, she would return this object to them.

……

Haojing City, Zhang Family Manor

In the ancestral hall, this time Zhang Jian did not choose to sleep; he merely cultivated his magical power in the study, and shortly afterward felt an inexplicable pull, his body then directly entering the ancestral hall.

Shortly afterward, he saw in the "Ancestors" painting, the dignified and solemn visage of the ancestors, suddenly revealing a faint smile; in an instant, he saw in the depths of the void, black-and-white mysterious light flickering unpredictably.

Zhang Jian's eyes moved, he raised his hand, yet saw within the black-and-white mysterious light what seemed like billions of starlights flowing, and shortly afterward it fell into his hand.

At the same time, a message appeared, merely brushing past his face with a startle, then immediately releasing the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram to gather this black-and-white starlight.

Receiving this message in his mind, he at this moment knew that this time he had finally obtained a supreme treasure.

This object, too, was innately nurtured, named the Zhou Tian Star Soul.

It is formed by the convergence of celestial astral spiritual energy at a certain point in a void legal realm, nurtured into being, containing the profound mysteries of the Zhou Tian star constellations.

If directly refined, one can cultivate the Zhou Tian Star Chen Dao Body, with a high probability of resonating with a nascent star in the Zhou Tian constellations, thereby obtaining the mandate of the stars.

If he refines it and, using his own state and dragon qi to nurture it, could he also condense a second kind of sovereign destiny, the Ziwei Star Fate?

But this is merely one of its most insignificant functions.
