Chapter 482: Heavenly Immortal Specialty (4K)

Having received Zhang Jian's approval, the immortals immediately felt reassured, each returning to their ancestral lands to begin preparations.

Zhang Jian did not continue to meet other immortals from various immortal sects and traditions who came to congratulate him, but instead entrusted all of them to Zhang Zhao and his wife for reception.

He directly entered the Ziwei Palace, preparing to take the opportunity to familiarize himself with the cultivation of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

After ascending to the Heavenly Immortal realm, various transformations within his body began to occur.

Especially the fusion of his innate primordial spirit with the primordial ancestral qi, and the indestructible primordial immortal light, which added several special attributes.

The first is indestructibility.

The second is merging with the Dao.

The third is the control of laws.

Within the Ziwei Palace, Zhang Jian turned his gaze inward; at this moment, his innate primordial spirit radiated layer upon layer of magnificent immortal light.

Moreover, an indestructible and imperishable power flowed forth from his innate primordial spirit.

As he contemplated these three unique attributes, his eyes remained utterly calm.

The indestructibility of the Heavenly Immortal comes from the sealed Dao ring deep within his innate primordial spirit.

Even if his true self is shattered and his primordial spirit collapses, the imprint of his primordial spirit can still be reborn from a single point of the Dao ring within the void of the unseen realm.

Unless the Dao ring within the Heavenly Immortal's body is first severed.

This indestructibility is far from being comparable to his original indestructible true body.

His original indestructible true body derives its indestructibility from the union of himself with the ancestral qi.

Ancestral qi is the fundamental root of the Heavenly Dao, tightly united with the origin of Heaven and Earth, and can also be said to be part of the Heavenly Dao; unless one has the ability to sever its connection with the Heavenly Dao, this indestructibility will not dissipate.

This is still under the condition that Zhang Jian does not utilize the original ancestral qi.

If he refines the ancestral qi into the source of the Dao fruit, he will truly attain the power of immortality and imperishability.

Heaven and Earth may decay, but I shall not decay; Heaven and Earth may perish, but I shall not perish.

Next is the merging with the Dao.

Zhang Jian's expression was somewhat strange.

He had already mastered the merging with the Dao long ago.

Innate deities, by their very nature, are born from the nurturing of the Heavenly Dao, and can at any time merge with the Dao, drawing upon the boundless power of Heaven and Earth.

As for the control of laws, it is somewhat noteworthy.

After stepping into the Heavenly Immortal realm, due to the integration of a portion of ancestral qi into his innate primordial spirit, Zhang Jian realized he could use this to suppress other Dao laws.

This is an ability he did not previously possess.

He believes that other Heavenly Immortals will not possess this either.

This is a unique attribute brought to him by taking the original ancestral qi as his foundation.

In fact, besides these three points, there is also a portion of secondary characteristics that have manifested.

For example, near-Dao ability, the Eye of Truth, the Return to Origin Immortal Body, and the ability to peek into fate.

Merging with the original ancestral qi is equivalent to being able to enter the depths of the Heavenly Dao at any time, to contemplate the profound changes of Heaven and Earth; these unique 'abilities' will manifest one by one as the original ancestral qi integrates.

Such unique 'talents' are not something every Heavenly Immortal can possess.

While an ordinary Heavenly Immortal possessing even one such unique ability is enough to set them apart from other immortals.

And Zhang Jian possesses multiple 'Daoist specialties'!

Besides, as an innate deity and the Emperor of the State and Ancestral Shrines, these two special identities each carry several special 'Daoist specialties'.

For example, the identity of an innate deity brings the 'Sovereign of the State and Ancestral Shrines,' 'Son of Heaven and Earth,' 'Heaven-bestowed Great Fortune,' 'Heavenly Dao Protection,' 'Innate Control,' and so on.

Moreover, the identity of the Emperor of the State and Ancestral Shrines brings the 'Imperial Sovereign Rank,' 'Imperial Star Suppression,' 'Imperial Star Blazing,' 'Lord of the Earth,' 'Control of Laws,' and so on.

Even Zhang Jian possesses two unique specialties from his Human Emperor destiny: 'Lord of the Human Dao' and 'Master of the Dragon Veins'!

And the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart carries the 'Transcendent Comprehension' and the 'Confucian Sage's Body'!

If quantified into concrete data, these myriad 'Daoist specialties' manifested would be enough to dazzle the eyes of other immortals.

"Most Heavenly Immortals, after breaking through, may only have two or three Daoist specialties, such as indestructibility, merging with the Dao, or perhaps only a single control of laws; any more would have to be transformed from the foundation of the Heavenly Immortal's body!"

Within the Ziwei Palace, Zhang Jian enumerated the many special 'Daoist specialties,' and a sense of joy welled up spontaneously.

Possessing so many specialties, his future can be said to be limitless.

Zhang Jian then immediately began to integrate all his immortal arts.

After attaining the Heavenly Immortal, he can continue to elevate the remaining portion of second-rank immortal arts within his body to third-rank immortal arts.

Or transform first-rank immortal arts into second-rank immortal arts.

Next, he will re-integrate the numerous matrix-type immortal arts he has mastered, optimizing them.

Once these are completed, his strength will continue to rise.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside and outside Haojing City of the Great Xia Dynasty, lanterns and decorations were already hung in celebration of the Great Xia Emperor's Heavenly Immortal Grand Ceremony.

The main gate of Haojing City, as well as several surrounding side gates, were fully opened to welcome guests from all directions.

This time, powerful figures from all sides gathered in droves, even including the State and Ancestral Shrines Dao sending the Heavenly Yuan Inspector and the Netherworld Inspector from the Four Great Inspectors to come and offer congratulations.

Many major forces from the Five Great Provinces dispatched powerful figures to come.

A Heavenly Immortal successfully attaining the Dao is a matter of great significance for the entire Zhou Mountain Realm.

Although some immortal sects and traditions secretly harbored reservations toward the Great Xia Dynasty, in such a grand event, they were also unwilling to miss it.

The Three Immortals of the Barbarian Wastes were also among the cultivators, each of the three Primordial Spirit True Lords preparing a generous gift.

The leaders of the rogue cultivators from the Two Realms region were able to completely 'forget past grudges' and come to listen to the Dao, naturally because they had heard that the Great Xia Emperor would share a portion of cultivation profundities and tribulation-passing secrets at the Heavenly Immortal Grand Ceremony.

Such a good thing, many cultivators would not easily give up.

After entering the city, the Heavenly True Lord Xin Ziqiang found an excuse to personally accompany the Divine Capital.

The entrance to Shenjing City lies deep within the Western Mountains.

This companion capital is a vast immortal city.

From the gaze of the Nine Heavens True Lord Xin Ziqing, it is not difficult to see that its foundation is an immortal treasure.

A large immortal treasure of the city type.

Such large immortal treasures usually possess power surpassing that of immortal treasures of the same rank!

The Nine Heavens True Lord is not curious about this; rather, she saw a familiar figure enter Shenjing and thus followed after.

Ahead, a girl in blue robes was curiously looking around.

On both sides of the city, colorful banners fluttered, countless flags of various kinds, and many shops displayed all sorts of strange names to attract customers; along the way, every kind of shop could be found—pill chambers, medicine halls, magic artifact shops, food stalls, foot massage parlors, even brothels established by cultivators, and there were also orthodox cultivators standing at the door to solicit customers; they did not seem to be cultivating for longevity, but more for livelihood.

Moreover, cultivators who could not afford a shop simply shouted at the entrance.

The girl in blue robes felt no surprise at such a scene, only finding it unusually lively, and she greatly enjoyed this atmosphere.

The noise and bustle, everyone busy with their own 'life', unlike within the sect, where some strong ones spend all day discussing longevity, or various great divine arts.

The blue-robed girl had already noticed someone behind her observing her; her expression was somewhat displeased, and she was about to find an opportunity to properly teach that follower a lesson.

Then a voice came from behind.

"Qing Yaoshi Mei, long time no see!"

Upon hearing this, the blue-robed girl raised her eyebrows.

She suddenly turned around, and in an instant her gaze fell upon Xin Ziqing, her eyes slightly startled.

Seeing this, the Nine Heavens True Lord Xin Ziqing felt no surprise in the depths of her eyes; after entering this realm, she had met with an accident, been reborn in a new life, not only losing the essence of the outer-realm immortal deities, but also undergoing a change in her own origin—no wonder this fellow sect junior sister did not recognize her.

Yet in her hand, she naturally formed a special natal seal.

"Innate Purple Light Seal—are you Ziqing Senior Sister?"

The blue-robed girl merely glanced, her eyes instantly widening, her beautiful eyes flashing with surprise, but she knew such a seal could not be easily forged, for it was built from her own natal imprint, containing the sect's exclusive secret method.

"Senior Sister, how did you become like this?"

Qing Yao Xianzi's eyes showed surprise.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ziqing smiled, her jade-like countenance brightening; she glanced around, seeing many cultivators on the street looking at them, and said.

"Let's find a place to talk again!"

The two women found a quiet food house nearby; this seemed to be an industry of a sect skilled in spiritual food cooking, called the Yaowang Sect.

Inside, there were many dishes—land-running, sky-flying, water-swimming—everything available, including numerous spirit beast meat preparations, even claiming to have divine beast ingredients.

Qing Yao Xianzi was not polite; after entering, she in one breath ordered many dishes made from spirit beast ingredients.

She seemed especially fond of eating fish.

Xin Ziqing watched this scene, smiling faintly; this Qing Yao Shi Mei of hers had not changed her nature!

Qing Yao Xianzi had ordered two portions of spiritual drink, then asked.

"Senior Sister, you entered this realm not to find that faithless man, did you? Have you found him?"

Xin Ziqing glanced at Qing Yao Xianzi, shook her head, and said.

"I can no longer find him, but after searching for so many years, searching and searching, I have also let go!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Yao Xianzi's eyes brightened.

"Senior Sister, congratulations—with your obsession dispelled, once you return to your peak, you will surely break through soon!"

Qing Yao Xianzi gazed at Xin Ziqing with some envy.

Xin Ziqing's talent was originally astonishing; in her former position, she could suppress an entire immortal lineage so they could not lift their heads, and even the supreme powers within the sect paid attention to her, believing her future was limitless.

But this senior sister, midway, was troubled by love.

Even for that person, she did not hesitate to abandon all identity and status, fleeing to the outer realm.

Now that Xin Ziqing's emotional tribulation is resolved, Qing Yao Xianzi is also happy for her.

Before Xin Ziqing's reincarnation, she was a celestial-level powerhouse, her cultivation far surpassing that of this true immortal.

Now, if she returns, she will surely soon regain recognition from the immortal sect.

After all, this senior sister's father is the sect master of the immortal sect!

Xin Ziqing suddenly asked.

"Qing Yaoshi Mei, father……master, what task did you arrange for me to enter the Zhou Shan Realm?"

Qing Yao Xianzi glanced at Xin Ziqing, her smile like a flower.

"Senior Sister, Master naturally has always been thinking of you; my entering the Zhou Shan Realm this time, the main task is to fetch you back to the Danqiu Xian Sect!"

Xin Ziqing glanced at Qing Yao Xianzi, she shook her head.

Given his understanding of the Danqiu Xian Sect sect master, after her departure from the Danqiu Xian Sect, the sect master would likely announce a complete severance of all ties with her.

Qing Yao Xianzi entering the Zhou Shan Realm certainly would not be to fetch her back; more likely, it was for some treasure or relic.

"Could it be..."

Xin Ziqing suddenly had a thought, this guess making her face instantly turn ugly.

She fixed her gaze on Qing Yao Xianzi with both eyes.

"Junior Sister, did he send you here to investigate the whereabouts of the Dong Emperor's relics?!"

Qing Yao Xianzi, under Xin Ziqing's piercing gaze, felt her heart jump; she turned her eyes away, quickly took a sip of spiritual drink, and waved her hand.

"Senior Sister, how could it be? Master clearly knows Dong Emperor is your beloved; how could he search for the Dong Emperor's relics? He merely let me enter this realm to undergo trials; this realm's tribulation qi is strong, and if one can resolve the great tribulation, it will certainly benefit my natal immortal art, and also aid in breaking through the Celestial Tribulation."

"Moreover, Master said that places with strong tribulation qi usually also give birth to heavenly and earthly rare treasures; he let me try my luck, to see if I could obtain this opportunity!"

Saying this, Qing Yao Xianzi also seemed to gain confidence, straightening her back.

Yet her heart still felt somewhat uneasy.

Xin Ziqing this time truly did not speak wrongly.

Finding the Eastern Emperor's relics is also her primary goal.

The Eastern Emperor was an ancient sage of the Zhou Mountain Realm who once led countless human powerhouses against the demon race and resisted the invasion of extradimensional demon gods, nearly unifying the Divine Land to achieve supreme hegemony.

During his lifetime, he once possessed several extremely powerful heavenly and earthly treasures.

The Danqiu Immortal Sect invited an extradimensional expert skilled in deducing heavenly secrets to perform divination, and it was deduced that the Eastern Emperor's relics might emerge during the great calamity of the Zhou Mountain Realm.

Thus, they sent her here to try her luck.

At this moment, Xin Ziqing gradually withdrew her gaze, then suddenly smiled and said.

"Actually, even if it's for the Eastern Emperor's relics, it's fine, as I said, past events have turned to clouds and smoke, the Eastern Emperor has already passed away, so what harm is there if his relics are found by someone?"

After a slight pause, she glanced again at Qingyao Immortal Maiden and said.

"Speaking of which, the clues to finding the Eastern Emperor's relics are still in my hands!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyao Immortal Maiden's eyes brightened.

However, upon seeing Xin Ziqing's ambiguous smile, Qingyao Immortal Maiden was left speechless.

At this moment, she couldn't very well change her words, so she made up her mind to definitely find a way to extract the clues from Xin Ziqing's mouth later.

……

In Haojing City, as the auspicious time arrived, the palace gates were also opened to welcome guests from all directions.

Then came the formal Heavenly Immortal Celebration.

A true Heavenly Immortal stepped forward to lecture the assembled immortals on the mysteries of the Dao, naturally creating a lively scene.

The Great Xia Dynasty also intended to use this opportunity to recruit wandering cultivators from all directions, as well as powerful figures from small and medium immortal sects, throwing out many valuable teachings.

Including how to efficiently purify internal mana, strengthen the primordial spirit's resolve, and the secret methods of reducing calamity and increasing fortune.

The effects were also quite good.

After the Heavenly Immortal Celebration, the Great Xia Dynasty attracted a wave of allegiance.

Half a year later, inside the Hall of Containing Yuan, Zhang Jian was suddenly startled.

A sudden surge of impulsive feeling arose from his heart; he used his innate primordial spirit to sense the Dao, yet felt a massive calamitous qi forming at a certain location.

Like a rupture naturally formed by the turning of heaven and earth, this rupture finally began to trigger unknown changes at this point in time.

"The calamity has come!"

This thought flashed through Zhang Jian's mind.

He knew he must find this rupture in the shortest possible time.

This is also the duty of his innate divine nature!

Of course, Zhang Jian is also highly motivated about this.
