Chapter 380

The manifested Yuanshen of the Dharma True Person had eyes that were even more fervent.

No matter what, Zhang Jian was a disciple of the Slay Demon Peak lineage.

He was their direct disciple.

The Ancestral Master Great King Yu transmitted twelve disciples; three fell, and of the remaining nine, most had already branched out, and among the other eight lineages, the stronger ones had not only produced one ascended immortal.

For example, under the sixth senior brother, the Daoist Qingyuan, this was already the second ascended immortal.

But to give birth to a Divine Path Emperor Sovereign had never happened before.

This was, among the myriad realms beyond the realm, that an immortal sect lineage capable of giving birth to a Divine Path Emperor Sovereign was also extremely rare.

A normally grown Divine Path Emperor Sovereign could absolutely reach the position of half-step Dao Sovereign, and even had a slight hope of becoming a Dao Sovereign, an existence that shines through ancient and modern times.

His third senior brother, the True Person Tianhe, obtained the immortal affinity of the Water Official Emperor Sovereign and reached such a height.

And there was still a slight hope of achieving the Dao Sovereign fruition position.

The Dao Sovereign position of "Heaven and Earth may decay, but I shall not perish" is what immortals of all realms long for but cannot attain.

The only concern was that the Slay Demon True Monarch had never witnessed the true might of an Emperor Sovereign, leading to a possible misreport.

In the moment Zhang Jian entered the main hall, he immediately saw within the hall immortal figures whose surroundings flowed with immortal Dao laws, his expression changed slightly, and he at once clasped his hands in salute.

"Disciple Zhang Jian pays respects to the Ancestral Master, Grand Master, and all Grand Uncles and Grand Aunts!"

At this time, Zhang Jian's expression was solemn; in his Yuanshen divine awareness, he could feel over ten figures like blazing suns manifesting, either as true forms or as Yuanshen like the sun, vast and magnificent.

The faintly leaking Yuanshen power was astonishingly formidable.

These second-generation ancestral masters who survived the ancient and medieval battles were each astonishingly strong.

The deeper one's Dao cultivation, the more one could perceive the profundity of their immortal Dharma bodies.

"No need to stand on ceremony!"

At this moment, a faint voice came from the depths of the void; Zhang Jian looked over, his gaze falling on the third position in the second row of twelve seats.

That ethereal Yuanshen phantom, among all the ancestral masters, had the most unique temperament; his form was lofty and magnificent, like a unique heavenly Dao law stretching across heaven and earth between the platforms, awe-inspiring.

Slay Demon True Monarch, seeing this, said: "A Yu, that is your Tianhe Grand Uncle!"

"Daoist Tianhe!"

Zhang Jian's expression was solemn, his demeanor reverent.

This was a true ancient immortal.

Daoist Jieming was a living fossil, but this one was a living myth made manifest in reality.

Only hearing from deep within the golden body, a gentle laugh came forth.

"Red Dragon incarnation, Emperor Star blazing, immortal body already formed……hm, indeed of extraordinary talent; existences like you in the myriad heavens and worlds deserve the title of 'genius'!"

"

Upon hearing this, not a few second-generation ancestral masters looked over; Zhang Jian at this time used the 'Golden Lotus Hidden Breath Method,' this innate divine ability, yet they did not notice that Zhang Jian had condensed into an immortal body.

Slay Demon True Monarch could not help but ask: "A Yu, when did you condense into an immortal body?"

Catching sight of Slay Demon True Monarch's astonished gaze, Zhang Jian's mouth corner twitched into a slight smile.

"Fortuitous coincidence to achieve an immortal body, not worth mentioning!"

Seeing Zhang Jian's calm and carefree demeanor, Slay Demon True Monarch wanted to scold him, but still held back.

However, Slay Demon True Monarch could not help but admit, at this moment she truly felt sour.

She had cultivated for thousands of years, to condense into an immortal body, still searching everywhere for resources, for this not hesitating to enter many dangerous ruins, but even so, she was now only a half-immortal body.

This half-immortal body had already surpassed many Yuanshen True Monarchs.

Yet the result was that the disciple before her had silently achieved an immortal body.

Even with Slay Demon True Monarch's talent, she felt deeply struck.

Not a few second-generation ancestral masters also glanced askance.

At such a young age, to have achieved an immortal body, even if it were a sage's body, would be extraordinarily terrifying.

But at this moment, seeing the divine altar, that Tianhe True Person let out a light laugh, and then said.

"Zhang Jian, come forward! I shall cast a spell to map your Emperor Sovereign position and the degree of your authority control!"

"Do not resist!"

Zhang Jian raised his brow; this direct illumination of the life palace for mapping was very direct and also very dangerous; if the other party had other thoughts in mind, he would directly fall into danger.

But having high skill emboldens one, and he was not afraid.

After all, to obtain the benefits given by the ancestral masters, one must show something to give the other confidence; one cannot let the 'angel investor' rely solely on guesswork.

This had already saved most of the cumbersome procedures, such as planning and research, as long as one produces concrete data.

Zhang Jian stood firm, and then saw on the ethereal divine altar, an unknown light flowing from within; this thread of light appeared on its own, and the ancestral masters in the Ancestral Hall also felt a wave of immense pressure.

Their own mana circulation seemed to be affected.

"Emperor Sovereign Authority!"

The expressions of the second-generation ancestral masters instantly became solemn.

But Zhang Jian felt something different; he only felt the void momentarily twist, and the vast Yuanshen divine awareness seemed to 'see' a surging heavenly river flowing by, inundating heaven and earth.

An invisible force from the depths pressed upon him; his Yuanshen divine awareness affected by this, his State and Emperor Sovereign Yuanshen involuntarily manifested.

Nine rays of light shot up from the depths of the life palace; among them, eight rays of light encircled the source of the State and Emperor Sovereign Yuanshen, condensing into a special light.

And the ninth was the Vast and Righteous Spirit soaring to the heavens.

"Excellent companion, eight Heavenly Son positions? And another, seemingly the Ultimate Sage's Destiny of Confucianism?"

At this moment, the surrounding second-generation ancestral masters gazed in astonishment at the omens around Zhang Jian.

Only seeing his body manifest the State and Emperor Sovereign robes, magnificent imperial aura, dragon qi flowing, the light of his Yuanshen behind his head transforming into a treasure wheel, inside which the nine rays of light each manifested; under the stimulation of the Water Official Emperor Sovereign's secret method, they directly manifested various omens.

Or rushing into the heavens, transforming into a purple-clad ethereal Emperor Sovereign, bearing the Purple Micro, ruling over the heavenly river of stars.

Or it could transform into a great cauldron, with nine cauldrons surrounding it, suppressing mountains, rivers, heaven, and earth.

Or it could be like a blazing sun, the red sun winding around it.

Or it could manifest as five dragons of Qi, governing all living beings.

……

These are his eight Imperial Son destinies.

As the Imperial Purple Destiny, it devours mountains and rivers, stands above heaven and day, the cauldron suppresses heaven and earth, the lord of the state and altars, the True Master of Red Virtue, the Nine-Five Destiny, the Purple Micro Emperor Lord.

Besides these, there is also a vast and righteous aura that shoots straight into the heavens, faintly resonating with a milky-white luminous star above the firmament, and moreover, a long river becomes manifest.

This is the destiny of the Supreme Sage of the Confucian Dao.

With such a profound foundation, even the Slaying Demon True Monarch, who is near at hand, is somewhat startled.

"This wicked disciple has hidden himself so deeply?"

The Slaying Demon True Monarch's heart trembled inwardly.

The profundities of the《Human King Classic》, the Slaying Demon True Monarch has also come into contact with; the eight Imperial Son destinies, when combined with one more, make the Nine-Nine Destiny, which can condense the Human Emperor Destiny, thus having traversed the ancient sage-kings' great Dao.

"This is indeed a mighty foundation, an unsurpassed heritage!"

The other two ancestral masters also changed their expressions.

Yet, seen behind Zhang Jian, the auspicious signs had not ceased; in an instant, an invisible purple-yellow radiance suddenly burst forth from the depths of Zhang Jian's primordial spirit's brilliance, the purple-yellow Qi blazing fiercely, as if encompassing the eight directions of heaven and earth, mountains, rivers, and earthly peaks, suppressing the firmament.

This radiance nearly burst forth from within the Ancestral Masters' Hall.

Even the Heavenly River True Person, whose expression had remained unchanged deep in the firmament, could not help but lower their gaze.

"Is this the imperial rank of the Earth-attribute Emperor Lord?"
