Chapter 238: Punching the Nursing Home of the Forbidden Zone, Kicking the Kindergarten of the Imperial Clan

Zhang Xuan, on the contrary, was very calm and composed. He briefly carved a portion of modern knowledge onto numerous stone slabs, then placed them here to form an ancient pattern.

Of course, he did not depict every detail, but merely wrote out the theories for the general direction.

He believed that with a figure like Baiyue, one would naturally be able to develop the subsequent advancements.

Baiyue watched, mesmerized; the Water Demon Beast, which was constantly wailing and struggling, did not even receive a second glance from him, and could only be described as pitiful.

In the past, this was Baiyue's favorite, but now that he had a new love, it naturally became "Madam Niu."

Zhang Xuan took a look, grabbed the Water Demon Beast with one hand, and then instantly shattered the heavens and earth, disappearing from this area.

Giving Baiyue a little guidance was just a casual act; he did not want to do too much.

In just a very short time, he returned to Beidou from another world once again.

Everything seemed unchanged; Zhang Xuan only felt that his Origin was a bit more agile and lively than before.

"If I cultivate normally, breaking through will be a bit easier than before, but it will still be a step slower; it won't be too fast."

Zhang Xuan carefully sensed his own state; the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art had undergone subtle changes and adjustments in the Zhetian World, and his Origin was more lively and agile.

But that was all; if he wanted to do more, there was basically nothing else to be done.

After a brief search, Zhang Xuan chose to keep a low profile.

"Forget it, I might as well wait half a year; my current cultivation speed isn't bad either."

"Maintaining my current level, another leap forward in half a year won't be worse than anyone else's. There's no need to be so anxious; anyway, if the sky falls now, there are taller people to hold it up. I don't need to be too hurried."

Comforting himself in his heart, Zhang Xuan didn't even need to do much; as long as he wanted to keep a low profile in the world, he could naturally do so.

However, while he chose to keep a low profile, the Ancient Race did not.

Powerful Ancient Creatures were further awakening between heaven and earth. Three terrifying figures who had stepped into the Saint King realm had already come forward, intending to search the world for Zhang Xuan's whereabouts. Among them, two were renowned during the Taigu era and belonged to the Four Great Heavenly Kings.

They were hailed as the peerless figures most likely to break through to the Great Saint realm during the Taigu era.

There was even a rumor spreading among many people that a terrifying Great Saint-level figure among the Ancient Creatures had also issued a decree.

It demanded that Old Madman kneel before the Ancient Race to admit his guilt; after Old Madman committed suicide in public, the Human Race's excessive offenses could be overlooked.

The world was shaken and the masses were indignant, but there was nothing they could do. When powerful creatures of the Ancient Race walked everywhere carrying semi-awakened Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, the entire Eastern Wasteland was permeated by a terrifying and inexplicable atmosphere.

Zhang Xuan felt very indignant in his heart; he had been in Beidou for so long, and he had never been bullied like this before.

However, with Saint King-level figures personally walking around carrying Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, with his current strength, he indeed had no way to confront them head-on.

Those were the most supreme existences in the world; with Zhang Xuan's current capabilities, he could not do much.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan thought about it and decided to ignore them. Instead, he changed his appearance and, using his original look, went directly to visit Yaochi.

Zhang Xuan didn't need to do much; when he indicated that he was a Human Race Saint, the contemporary Western Queen Mother of Yaochi came out to greet him personally, putting on a very respectful posture.

And Zhang Xuan was also very polite; he did not look down on the inheritors of this Desolate Ancient Holy Land just because his own cultivation was extremely high.

However, his purpose for coming to Yaochi was also very clear and direct.

"I have heard that there are several Stone Kings left behind by the Fifth Generation Source Heaven Master in Yaochi. I would like to see them; one of the Stone Kings might be of great use to me, and I would like to conduct a direct exchange with Yaochi."

Hearing these words, the contemporary Western Queen Mother of Yaochi showed a strange look in her eyes, but she was still able to accept it.

It was not a secret in the Eastern Wasteland that Yaochi possessed Stone Kings; in fact, this information had been circulating for many years.

Especially recently, Yaochi had even taken the initiative to spread this information everywhere.

Because part of the seal left behind by the Source Heaven Master back then was about to break; the Stone King was very special and terrifying, and it required someone to come and reseal it.

They were searching everywhere for top-tier Source Heaven Masters, or Source Earth Masters, hoping that some extraordinary person could reseal and stabilize this piece of strange stone.

Zhang Xuan had come because of this matter. The stone he chose was not the one in Yaochi that was already about to be born as a Holy Spirit.

It was another stone that looked more like a Stone Egg. When Zhang Xuan walked in front of that Stone King, the Stone Egg, which had recently revealed something unusual, trembled slightly, as if it had been frightened, and even the luster on its surface dimmed.

Zhang Xuan wore a smile; this was the target he was looking for.

The direct descendant of the Undying Emperor, Tianhuangzi.

Well, due to Zhang Xuan's several interventions to accelerate things, figures like Ye Fan among the younger generation had already stepped into the Immortal Platform Realm, but figures like Tianhuangzi had not yet truly been born and were still a Stone Egg.

Yaochi did not know much about this Stone Egg, and the Western Queen Mother came personally to explain it to Zhang Xuan.

"This stone was brought out from Purple Mountain by the Fifth Generation Source Heaven Master back then. He instructed us to treat it with caution. If the Ancient Race came aggressively to demand it, we could hand it over in the future; if not, we should continue to keep it sealed in Yaochi..."

Zhang Xuan nodded as he listened, becoming more and more certain that this was Tianhuangzi.

He did not hide his intentions and said directly: "This Stone Egg is very useful and meaningful to me."

"I would like to exchange it with Yaochi; I wonder if Yaochi is willing to part with it."

"This..."

The contemporary Western Queen Mother of Yaochi appeared somewhat hesitant: "This is a place that even the Source Heaven Master back then called a top-tier divine object; it is a generation of Stone King, and its value is extremely..."

"I can offer an Ancient Emperor scripture, how about the Taiyin True Scripture?"

The contemporary Western Queen Mother of Yaochi's beautiful face showed some surprise. After pondering for a moment, she said somewhat uncertainly: "This Stone King is of great importance and has intricate connections with powerful existences among the Ancient Creatures. Now that the Ancient Race has emerged..."

"The era is changing drastically, the Wind and Cloud are rising, and the Ancient Race is on the rise, while there are no top-tier powerhouses among my Human Race; this is indeed a difficult problem."

Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement, then changed the subject.

"I also have a portion of the sixth-turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, which I can also gift to Yaochi. The sixth-turn bloodline evolution fluid is also of great use to figures in the Saint Sage realm."

"If someone is at the peak of the Saint realm, using a portion of it can allow them to step into the Saint King realm, thereby extending their lifespan by a thousand years."

"With such a guarantee, I believe Yaochi's foundation will be even deeper, and it will be able to maintain its own stance in the upcoming turbulent times."

The contemporary Western Queen Mother's expression suddenly became firm, and she pushed the Stone Egg toward Zhang Xuan: "Then this Stone King is entrusted to the Saint. With the Saint looking after it, I believe everyone in Yaochi will be more at ease."

That firm action, combined with her beautiful face, made Zhang Xuan pause for a moment, then he smiled and nodded, taking out the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid he had obtained earlier but had basically not used from his robes: "Then, thank you, Yaochi, for parting with it."

That Undying Emperor egg seemed to tremble twice, but Zhang Xuan tapped it twice lightly while holding it in his hand, and the Stone Egg returned to calm, without any ripples.

When he came to Yaochi, it was silent and calm; when he left, everyone in Yaochi, including the Western Queen Mother, saw him off grandly.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually and disappeared from the Yaochi Holy Land in a single step.

The Stone Egg in his hand seemed to want to do something when it rushed out of this area; the surface of the stone revealed a luster, as if five-colored divine light was about to shoot into the sky, and then Zhang Xuan formed a Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal with his bare hands.

The Stone Egg, which had previously shown signs of movement, suddenly drew all its radiance back into itself and remained motionless, appearing extremely calm.

Zhang Xuan rested his chin on his hand and said with a smile, "Don't play dead. I know you should be awake, but nothing has happened yet."

The Stone Egg remained motionless, without any fluctuations.

Zhang Xuan did not mind, merely sneering, "The Ancient Myriad Tribes are hunting me down crazily. My current strength is insufficient to defeat them, but I can certainly manage to strike at the most noble and unique among the Ancient Creatures: the descendant of the Undying Emperor."

The Stone Egg seemed to tremble, but Zhang Xuan paid it no mind, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal in his hand becoming increasingly bright and brilliant: "You recognize this thing, right? I think you should have an impression of it; your old man was surely targeted by this person back in the day."

The Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal moved close to the Stone Egg, pressing directly against its face: "As the descendant of the Undying Emperor, your bloodline and potential are indeed top-tier. I imagine that throughout the ages, no one who has practiced the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art has ever tasted the Origin of this Supreme Bloodline."

"I wonder what it would be like to use the most noble bloodline among the Ancient Myriad Tribes throughout the ages to practice the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art? I think it should be of great help to me."

The Stone Egg in his hand was already trembling slightly—not because it was trying to escape, but because it was shivering.

Perhaps even this Stone Egg had never imagined that it would be threatened like this before it was even born.

And yet, this threat was very real.

Seeing that the Stone Egg finally stopped playing dead, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction and patted the eggshell: "So, you had better be quiet and don't act recklessly. Regardless of anything else, I am still a Saint."

"Even if you transmit information out and summon the Eight Divisions of Gods of the Undying Emperor from back then, I will have already swallowed you beforehand. I think I still have that much capability. If you understand, jump twice in my hand."

The Stone Egg obediently jumped twice in Zhang Xuan's hand, and a faint Divine Sense was transmitted out, appearing to be begging for mercy.

Zhang Xuan could not help but nod in satisfaction: "Your Origin is indeed quite strong and would be very useful for cultivation, but you are too weak right now; you aren't of much use to me. Stay inside obediently. Don't come out unless I call you, and don't send any messages unless I tell you to. Understand?"

The Stone Egg jumped twice more.

Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and the Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda within his Immortal Embryo Realm moved slightly, tucking Tianhuangzi inside.

From beginning to end, this pitiful thing did not put up much resistance and was very submissive.

And Zhang Xuan truly did not hide anything; he really did not have any major plans for Tianhuangzi right now.

In terms of bloodline potential, Tianhuangzi could be called number one among all the Princes.

The Undying Emperor was quite good to Tianhuangzi; he even let Tianhuangzi absorb a mouthful of the most unique Creation Spring Eye between heaven and earth before he was even born, which gave him, as a member of the imperial bloodline, endless potential for the future.

And if one were to speak solely of bloodline, Tianhuangzi could also be considered special among the descendants of all Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors, because his father, the Undying Emperor, was a pure-blooded phoenix that had fallen from the Immortal Domain.

He was the most peculiar Divine beast that had never appeared in this world before, and Tianhuangzi's bloodline was inherently strangely unique.

Using it to practice the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art would absolutely be the most miraculous and unique existence under heaven.

Following the later course of events, Tianhuangzi emerged from the Stone Egg at a very late stage.

By that time, Ye Fan had already been roaming the Immortal Embryo Realm for many years, yet Tianhuangzi soared into the sky in an extremely short period, even surpassing those who came before and succeeding in severing the Dao first.

He could be considered special among all the imperial clans.

If Tianhuangzi were given enough opportunities and timing, it is hard to say if he could have achieved the status of an Emperor.

But it is truly possible that he could have steadily and worry-free crossed into the realm of Alternative Enlightenment, becoming the most terrifying of all of Ye Fan's later rivals.

After all, he possessed the Divine Spirit Scripture practiced by the Undying Emperor and had the most powerful helpers under heaven.

The Eight Legions left behind by the Undying Emperor, and even the Divine Generals—if they were to unite in the future, they would nominally all obey Tianhuangzi's command.

But for now, all of this had come to nothing; Tianhuangzi was directly suppressed by Zhang Xuan in the Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda.

If I can't beat the Ancient Myriad Tribes, can't I at least beat you?

However, how to deal with Tianhuangzi did make Zhang Xuan feel a bit troubled.

Just as he said, eating Tianhuangzi right now would count as a good thing.

But Tianhuangzi was too weak; in Zhang Xuan's view, his cultivation and strength were nothing, and while his Origin was very special, it was too small.

"However, keeping something related to the Undying Emperor on hand is very useful. In the future, there is a high probability and possibility of using it to go fishing."

The existence of the Undying Emperor was considered a supreme myth among the Ancient Myriad Tribes, and to them, he was an insurmountable monument.

Equivalent to the Wushi Dadi and the Ruthless Great Emperor among the Human Race, he was a truly unique legend between heaven and earth.

After all, the title of the Undying Emperor had the character 'Heaven' added to it, just like how the names of Great Emperors had the character 'Heaven' added to them.

Suddenly, the whole thing would become different; it was only after the Ruthless Great Emperor had lived for several lifetimes that the title of Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor was passed down.

That was because her strength and achievements were unprecedented, thus distinguishing her from other Great Emperors and adopting such a title.

"Hmm, when I have time, I can let this fellow go fishing near the Forbidden Zone; perhaps I might really catch one. As a direct descendant of the Undying Emperor, I think many people would be curious about such a bloodline."

"Maybe I'll be able to catch a big one."
