Chapter 350

"There's another kind of Dao body?"

Zhang Jian's gaze came over, his expression somewhat surprised.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Possessing a substantial materialized primordial spirit, and having the Eastern Emperor Treasure Mirror, Zhang Jian believed he would not be mistaken.

But after a brief reflection, Zhang Jian recalled Zhang Chang'an's somewhat abnormal fortune.

Physical constitution is easiest to examine, spiritual constitution next, but there is also a rare Dao body existing in the subtle realm of fate, fortune, luck, and even lifespan—these require 'professional' personnel to monitor and discern.

"Could it be..."

Zhang Jian looked toward the Jade Flute True Lord, and the Jade Flute True Lord said.

"Chang'an also possesses a constitution named the Innate Fortune Dao Body!"

"Innate Fortune Dao Body? Truly related to fortune!"

A flash of surprise crossed Zhang Jian's eyes.

The Jade Flute True Lord's eyes also showed some joy at this moment; before him, Zhang Chang'an not only possessed the acquired Blazing Phoenix Dao Body but also a hidden innate special Dao Body—this could be called excellent foundation.

If admitted under the Guangling Immortal Sect, with slight cultivation, over a thousand years the Guangling Immortal Sect might possibly gain another sect-protecting powerhouse.

Consequently, the Jade Flute True Lord's impression of Zhang Jian rose straight upward; his usually indifferent expression also gained a hint of a smile.

Seeing Zhang Jian's expression, the Jade Flute True Lord smiled and said again.

"Junior Nephew Zhang, you may not know much about the Phoenix-type Dao bodies; most Phoenix-type Dao bodies are closely related to the divine beast Phoenix clan, and possessing a Phoenix-type Dao body easily brings along some subsidiary Dao bodies, such as fire, fortune, destiny, and so on!"

"The Phoenix does not alight where there is no treasure?"

Zhang Jian's face twitched slightly, then he couldn't help but ask: "Then, is the True Dragon-type Dao body also prone to hiding subsidiary Dao bodies?"

At this moment, the Jade Flute True Lord was in extremely high spirits and did not mind helping Zhang Jian 'popularize science,' nodding and saying: "Not bad!"

"In ancient times, the Dragon and Phoenix clans both once stirred up divine-demonic frenzies!"

"These two clans still retain some remnants!"

A ripple appeared in her eyes, then she looked toward Zhang Jian and said.

"Junior Nephew Zhang, Chang'an, this venerable one will personally take her as a disciple, as a direct transmission disciple; after she joins the sect, all resource allocations, this venerable one will personally oversee, and will certainly not wrong her!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes flickered with a hint of a smile, and he said: "Chang'an being able to become your disciple is her great fortune!"

Although Zhang Chang'an gained an additional innate Dao body, Zhang Jian also had no regret.

If it is as he guessed—that the Guangling Immortal Sect has such origins beyond the realm—he believes Zhang Chang'an's current choice is to exchange for her a broader future.

Moreover, the Guangling Immortal Sect is now not weak either.

Saying this, Zhang Jian beckoned Zhang Chang'an, saying: "Chang'an, hurry up and pay respects to your master!"

Zhang Chang'an had long been taught by Qi Yuhua, and immediately bowed deeply to the Jade Flute True Lord: "Disciple pays respects to master!"

"Good!"

Seeing this scene, the Jade Flute True Lord's beautiful jade-like countenance also showed joy.

This journey obtaining such excellent talent and beautiful jade truly satisfies her to the utmost.

She casually took a small sachet from her waist and handed it to Zhang Chang'an, smiling: "These are some magical implements I used before attaining the Dao; today I temporarily give them as a meeting gift—refine them well, they will bring some benefit to your cultivation, but do not rely on them to act recklessly!"

At the end, she added a warning, her face solemn.

"My Guangling Immortal Sect values rules above all; even if you are my disciple, if you bring disaster and cause harm, do evil, I will also expel you from the sect!"

Zhang Chang'an obediently replied: "Yes, Master!"

Zhang Jian stood to the side, watching the obedient Zhang Chang'an, as if seeing the likeness of when he first met Qi Yuhua—same obedience, but inside he harbored many mischievous ideas; he couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth into a hint of a smile.

Although Zhang Chang'an successfully became a disciple, Zhang Jian still asked the Jade Flute True Lord to stay a few days, so the Zhang family could fully fulfill their host duties, and also allow Qi Yuhua and her daughter to bid farewell.

……

Three days later, the Jade Flute True Lord brought the ten-year-old Zhang Chang'an away from Hao Jing City, directly returning to Chicheng Mountain.

Inside the mansion, Qi Yuhua leaned in Zhang Jian's embrace, tear-streaked, her heart broken.

Zhang Jian held Qi Yuhua in his arms, merely whispering comfort.

Telling Qi Yuhua, this is not a life-and-death separation, but a young eagle spreading its wings.

Zhang Zhao's expression beside them also appeared somewhat sorrowful.

But he was more happy for his sister, having found a good home; on the path to longevity ahead, they will ultimately still be able to meet.

With a Primordial Spirit True Lord protecting her, Zhang Chang'an will certainly fare better than others.

……

Zhang Chang'an's departure was, for Zhang Jian, merely a small episode; after Qi Yuhua grieved for a time, her attention was subsequently drawn to the younger Zhang Xian.

The young Zhang Xian was exactly at the most active age, running around everywhere, also distracting Qi Yuhua's worries.

Zhang Jian still focused his attention on the 《Nine Dragons True Classic》.

With the aid of the dragon energy externally manifested from the Zhang family dragon vein, the cultivation progress of this royal king technique was extremely fast.

The substantial increase in magical power made cultivation even simpler.

After about a month of cultivation, his entire body's state and earth dragon energy faintly took shape as a red dragon form.

Under the jujube tree, Zhang Jian's body surrounded by a soaring red dragon, upon close inspection its countless dragon scales every detail complete, neck arched, head raised, dragon whiskers flying, dragon eyes glowing with intense red light, as if possessing spiritual awareness.

In fact, the nine golden dragon veins condensed by the 《Nine Dragons True Classic》 ultimately become living creations, possessing a portion of their own spiritual awareness, able to protect their master autonomously.

"Cultivating this is actually not as difficult as imagined!"

The red dragon emanating from Zhang Jian's body, in its eyes there was some smile.

This is already a pure yang-level immortal technique; next, if one wishes to advance further, then solidify the internal primordial spirit technique structure, letting it truly 'come alive,' to virtualize and solidify into a substantial red dragon true body.

This involves creation, making, life and death, yin and yang, five elements, reincarnation, state and earth, and many other heavenly and earthly great Dao laws' mysteries.

This can be considered a composite-type technique, requiring comprehension of extremely many heavenly and earthly great Dao true meanings, then performing combination, integration, and penetration.

But in this aspect, Zhang Jian was strong.

First, he himself had broad accumulations of many heavenly and earthly great Dao laws; second, his comprehension was outstanding.

……

And when Zhang Jian had initially completed the first protective law red dragon, beneath the Viewing Heaven Terrace, a premeditated 'rebellion' was actually taking place!

Over a hundred cultivators clad in armor burst through the main gate into the Dongshen Observatory, killing anyone they saw, charging straight toward the vicinity of the Viewing Heaven Terrace; these cultivators each wore cloaks, yet were armed to the teeth.

But as soon as they stepped onto the square beneath the Viewing Heaven Terrace, they were trapped by a grand formation.

It was the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap Formation.

More than ten cultivators holding Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap dharma implements appeared; they had long been prepared, and they ensnared everyone in one sweep.

At the same time, another squad of black-clad guards appeared wearing armor, and in their hands were additionally high-rank Three Cavities linked crossbows; a rain of arrows covered the square, and in an instant countless cries of misery rang out from within.

"A pack of wicked obstacles! Death is not enough punishment!"

Beneath the Viewing Heaven Terrace, two elders of the Dong generation gazed upon this scene, their faces filled with anger.

Beside them, Zhang Lu was guarded by numerous black-clad guard martial artists; he had been parachuted in by Zhang Jian, simply promoted to deputy commander of the black-clad guards, and this mission was precisely to deal with these rebels.

"Once this group of stubborn and rebellious troublemakers is resolved, the Zhang family will then be able to smoothly complete the transition!"
