Chapter 819: Return, Another Kind of Dao Companion
Does Qingxia Daoist have trouble?
Zhang Jian's expression changed slightly.
He immediately decided to return to the myriad heavens void.
His journey to the Chaos Primal Source Sea has already yielded sufficient gains.
He also needs to return to the myriad worlds to properly digest his gains.
The group immediately used the universal status markers they left deep in the Chaos Primal Source Sea as coordinates and flew back swiftly.
……
Among the myriad heavens and worlds, Qingxia Holy Realm.
Zhang Jian's true form appeared, and then he stepped into the Holy Realm.
The 'good corpse' left by Qingxia Daoist had already received the news, was waiting here, and upon seeing Zhang Jian, directly ushered him into the Holy Realm, then handed him a special jade slip.
"Ayu, this is a primordial relic I visited. I fear I have encountered a trap, been targeted!"
Qingxia Daoist's expression was solemn, with some worry.
Zhang Jian briefly glanced at the jade slip in his hand, then asked.
"Could Daoist sense the whereabouts of my true form?"
Qingxia Daoist fell into a trap; Zhang Jian was actually not surprised at all.
Although the Lantai Dao Palace controls the information department of Yaochi and observes the myriad heavens void, Qingxia Daoist's fondness for 'grave-robbing' is known to more and more people.
Using this as a pretext, trouble will eventually arise.
Qingxia Daoist nodded upon hearing this.
"I can still faintly sense the whereabouts of my true form, but it is vague; my true form seems to have suffered grave injury!"
The good corpse still felt some worry.
If my true form falls, although the good corpse can exist independently, and even the primordial spirit origin can be transferred to the good corpse's primordial spirit, doing so would leave the foundation deficient, making proving the Dao nearly illusory.
Qingxia Daoist spoke again.
"I originally intended to seek aid from the Empress, but she said, though this journey holds danger for my true form, it is also an opportunity for a fish to leap and transform into a dragon, and there is also a noble person's assistance, so she did not intervene!"
After a slight pause, she continued.
"But after thinking it over, I am still worried; moreover, if speaking of my noble person, I fear it cannot be anyone but you, Ayu!"
As she finished speaking, her expression showed a hint of charm.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's pupils flickered.
He recalled the deliberate reminder from the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable.
What Qingxia Daoist said is correct; this matter truly requires him to go in person.
Qingxia Daoist smiled slightly at this moment, then spoke again.
"However, Ayu, I will not let you go for nothing..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian was about to speak to stop him, but upon hearing Qingxia Daoist wave his hand and say.
"Ayu, I know you are always broad-minded, but the opportunity I hold is indeed of great help to you; at this critical time of the human-demon war, the stronger your cultivation, the more opportunities you have, and for me, it is also a few more points of vitality—just considering myself, you cannot refuse!"
After a slight smile, she said.
"Of course, this matter must wait until you bring me back!"
"Because the secret method to open that special cave heaven requires my primordial spirit's imprint; after all, it is my birthplace!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes moved slightly.
Qingxia Daoist's birthplace?
He felt some astonishment in his heart.
He knew Qingxia Daoist was a forbidden divine body, born with a foundation not inferior to those innate divinities, but did not know his origin might hold further mysteries.
Zhang Jian immediately agreed to Qingxia Daoist's request.
Since Zhang Jian ascended to the heavenly realm, Qingxia Daoist has helped him greatly.
Not mentioning personal affection, even that 'special relationship' would not allow Qingxia Daoist to fall into others' hands.
Before he successfully proves the Dao, they are two grasshoppers on the same rope.
Equivalent to 'Dao companions'!
……
But before departing, Zhang Jian still asked Qingxia Daoist for a specific situation report, then went to the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm, sending the news back to the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm.
After all, this time he entered the Chaos Primal Source Sea for nearly ten yuanhui.
He worried that too much time had passed, and accidents might have occurred in the Yellow Emperor Dao Palace, Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, and Tongshan Dao Tradition.
But soon he received the news transmitted back by Zhang Zhao.
The Celestial Court Heavenly Realm is still operating well.
With the return of several Daoists and the Blood Shadow Evil Venerable taking residence, guarding the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm.
The Celestial Court Heavenly Realm has no major disturbances.
The Changqing Heavenly Realm, the Qingyuan Old Ancestor's side, currently has no movement either.
Although the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm's coordinates are gradually exposed, the probability of appearance of extraterritorial evil gods and cosmic giant beasts around is increasing, but overall it remains stable.
However, out of concern for the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, Zhang Jian still prepared to spend a huge sum to purchase a domain grand formation in the Three Emperors Holy Court to strengthen the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm's defense.
The Three Emperors Holy Court's Luoxiang Tianren World-Stabilizing Grand Formation likewise has great fame throughout the myriad heavens and worlds.
Upon sensing that the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm currently has no war, and the Zhang Immortal Clan has no trouble, he turned to delve deep into the Three Emperors Five Elders Assembly, focusing on understanding the situation of the human-demon two clans' war.
But this point, the Broad Sage Emperor did not give him the runaround.
The war between the human and demon clans is stalemated.
In the Qinghe Celestial Realm, after the Jade Yang Celestial Realm fell and dropped from the celestial realm dimensions, the human race also accelerated the contraction of their front lines, gradually clearing out the little territory left to the demon race.
From the alliance of the demon race, heretical sects, and even the exiled clans from beyond the realms, the human race and the Heavenly Court now actively target the demon race for offense, completely setting aside the heretical sects and the exiled clans from beyond the realms.
This kind of fighting has already left the demon race unable to cope, causing them to lose many realms.
Overall, the Three Emperors' Holy Court and the Heavenly Court still hold the advantage.
But Zhang Jian also received news.
The strong ones of the Six Great Demon Realms have also gradually become active on the battlefield.
The mighty ones of the demonic path from the myriad heavens' void have already begun to intervene.
The intensity of this great war will still gradually increase.
The Three Emperors' Holy Court now needs more strong ones to take action; implicitly, they hope Zhang Jian can undertake more missions at this time.
Zhang Jian did not refuse either, casually taking on a few missions along the way.
As long as it does not delay the rescue of Qingxia Daoist Lord, he naturally would not refuse.
At the same time, Zhang Jian received news that during his years of cultivation in the Chaos Primordial Sea, many strong ones have also sought him out.
Some of them are old acquaintances of the Three Emperors' Holy Court, such as the Blue Sea Emperor Lord, with whom he has always maintained contact.
Besides these, there are also immortals and gods from the Heavenly Court.
There is also a portion coming from beyond the realms.
The Divine Emperor of the Vermilion Terrace came from the Earth Immortal Realm several times, but each time Zhang Jian was not within the Three Emperors' Celestial Realm, so he left a message, asking him to visit the Vermilion Terrace Mountain in the Earth Emperor's Celestial Realm when he has free time.
"Vermilion Terrace?"
In the void above, Zhang Jian's expression showed some ripples.
Since parting from the Golden Origin Celestial Realm, he has indeed gone a "period of time" without seeing the Divine Emperor of the Vermilion Terrace.
He knows that these years, the Divine Emperor of the Vermilion Terrace has been cultivating in the Phoenix Ancestral Court of the Earth Immortal Realm.
But these years, in order to gain more initiative, he has constantly been actively seeking opportunities outside, wholeheartedly cultivating his Avatar Dao.
He truly cannot manage too many things at once.
Fortunately, as a peerless great ability among the myriad heavens and worlds, they still have endless years to wait for the opportunity to arrive.
……
Before departing, Zhang Jian again left some things for the two Heavenly Empresses of the Immortal Court's Celestial Realm, and only left the Earth Emperor's Residence after sending a message.
Not long after he left, several peerless beauties with graceful figures appeared in the Three Emperors' Celestial Realm.
Relying on the authority bestowed by Zhang Jian, several female immortals and goddesses naturally entered the depths of the Earth Emperor's Sovereign Residence.
At this time, Qi Yuhua had removed the phoenix crown of the Heavenly Empress of the Immortal Court, merely wearing robes woven of gold and red; her figure was tall and slender, her exquisite face bearing a natural dignity, and her aura moistened heaven and earth.
Her eyes swept over the tranquil Earth Emperor's Sovereign Residence, and she sighed lightly.
"It seems His Majesty has already departed!"
Bai Liying and Ji Xueqiong stood to one side, their jade-like faces also showing some sighs.
Since learning of the rebirth of the Taiyi Clan, Zhang Jian has obviously been busy a great deal.
Previously, Zhang Jian, although always devoted to cultivation, had always maintained a balance between work and rest, never reaching such a state of urgency.
Of course, this point the three women still understand deep in their hearts.
All the women have heard of the terror of the Boundless Calamity.
And now the war between humans and demons is widely connected; it may well give rise to the Boundless Calamity!
The three women entered the main hall, where Zhang Jian had also left a message.
After reading it, their expressions were each different.
The words Zhang Jian left were not many, but mainly still related to them.
And he pointed out that in their respective palaces, he had left some heavenly and earthly rare treasures to assist the women in their cultivation.
These heavenly and earthly rare treasures are not ordinary objects.
For example, the Chaos Ice Spirit Eye that Zhang Jian left for Bai Liying is a divine object of the Chaos Primordial Source, nurtured by the rules of the Chaos Primordial Source Great Dao.
That strange object is of great help to the cultivation of Chaos Demon Gods at the level of Three Turns Dao Venerable.
While on the other side, the Ji clan was given the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Divine Concealment Dao Diagram.
The Divine Concealment Dao Diagram is itself the supreme treasure of the transmission of the Divine Concealment Dao lineage.
Zhang Jian previously did not give it to the Ji clan, fearing that with their cultivation level, they could not master an innate spiritual treasure, and moreover, it might bring disaster upon them because of this innate spiritual treasure.
But with the Ji clan's Taiyi Dao Fruit perfected, having stepped into the realm of Great Perfection of Taiyi, Zhang Jian this time naturally handed this object over to them.
As for the Heavenly Empress of the Qi clan, Zhang Jian was the most meticulous.
The Qi clan's cultivation had just reached the level of Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, which originally should not be in charge of a great treasure.
But her identity is special, being the Heavenly Empress of the Immortal Court, and she cannot lack a great treasure for self-protection.
There is also the suspicion of favoring one and neglecting another.
Zhang Jian thought it over and decided to leave the twelve Primordial Treasure Pearls in his hand to the Heavenly Empress of the Immortal Court, the Qi clan.
These Primordial Treasure Pearls were originally divine objects in the hand of the Ancestor of the True Light Sect of the Talisman Realm, a set of thirty-six in total.
Eighteen of them fell into the hands of the Stone Ancestor, and twelve fell into Zhang Jian's hands.
Another six fell into the hands of another peerless great ability.
Each of the twelve pearls alone is a lower-grade innate spiritual treasure, being the inferior grade of the three-path innate immortal divine prohibition.
The twelve pearls can also form an innate great array.
The most crucial point is that they also match the cultivation path of the Heavenly Empress of the Qi clan.
After the three women entered their respective palaces and obtained the treasures left by Zhang Jian, moments later they walked out one after another from within the halls.
The expressions of the three women were all somewhat complex.
The Qis, seeing the expressions of the other two goddesses, comforted them.
"We need not grieve here; all we need to do now is forge a solid foundation for ourselves, which I believe is also His Majesty's intention!"
Bai Liying gave a slight nod, and the several girls knew they could no longer catch up to Zhang Jian.
For now, the plan is simply to forge a solid foundation, await the baptism of long ages, and slowly seek opportunities for breakthrough within it.
In any case, they are not lacking in time.
Once they grow, they will naturally be able to shoulder more of Zhang Jian's worldly affairs, giving the Zhang family more time to break through and cultivate.
The three girls stilled their dao hearts, entered seclusion in the Three Emperors' Heavenly Realm for a period, preliminarily refined the spirit treasures in their hands, and then returned once more to the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm to continue their cultivation.
