Cultivation Helped by Ancestors

Chapter 650: Chapter 471: Tongshan Divine Dao Inheritance

On the earth, Emperor’s Qi and Dragon Qi surged like a vast ocean, with the Dragon Qi Prohibition unprecedentedly intense.

The group did not have the identification documents of the Great Xia Dynasty, so they had to give up flying on mounts.

"Nine Tripods Barrier!"

Looking at this scene, a slight fluctuation emerged in the deep eyes of Ji Xueqiong.

They had seen the Nine Tripods Barrier before.

After all, under the Tongshan Dao Lineage, there were other mortal dynasties and Saint King Dao cultivators, but it was rare for the power of the Nine Tripods Barrier to be increased to such a staggering level.

"Being able to suppress the Barbaric Demon Monarch, this Great Xia Emperor possessing such ability is only natural!"

Most of the group were ’young’ cultivators from the Celestial Will Sect.

Others were from within the Ji Family.

Since the Ji Family and the Yun Family intended to form a joint venture with Madam Zhang, these ’young’ members sensed an opportunity and came to investigate ahead of time.

Recently, news had been received through secret channels from the family and Dao Lineage within and outside the Celestial Will Sect and Ji Family.

This Great Xia Emperor reportedly appeared in the Three Holy Countries, uprooted the Three Saints Palace, and suppressed the Barbaric Demon Monarch.

Such news shook the heavens and earth for many Saint King’s families and even the true inheritances of Immortal Sect Dao Lineages.

The Barbaric Demon Monarch is a mythological being, and the strength of this leader of ten thousand beasts is formidable beyond mention.

They had contact with the Three Saints Palace.

Saint King’s Families and Immortal Sect Dao Lineages had dealings with them.

The Vine Dragon Demon General and the Jiu Ying Demon General’s dominance was a known tale among many true inheritances, even within the Celestial Will Sect, with the Ji Family’s many formidable elder antiques facing them, yet taking no advantage.

There were several Supreme Treasures within the Three Saints Palace.

Now that everything had been taken away, their curiosity naturally aroused.

Ji Xueqiong’s face remained calm, refraining from gossip with the nearby Ji Family cultivators, yet at this moment, a cold voice echoed in her mind.

"There are not many strong ones within and without the Zhou Mountain Realm, capable enough to dominate possibly means reigning in the Zhou Mountain Realm, but if one falls into the Outer Heaven Realm, it might not be significant."

"However, considering it’s an Innate Emperor, still worth a look!"

"But being an Innate Emperor, the innate spiritual sense is extremely sharp, and wishing to observe his destiny, life plate, requires extraordinary methods, otherwise easily inviting malicious thoughts, and destiny’s backlash is possible!"

Ji Xueqiong’s eyes flickered.

She wasn’t particularly interested in this aspect; she was more intrigued by the legendary experiences of this Great Xia Emperor.

After all, it’s a myth currently growing.

The group first handled identification documents in the Daoist Palace of Guangyuan County, then headed to Haojing City.

Yet, along the way, what was seen and heard still gave many cultivators a fresh sense of novelty.

The Great Xia Dynasty was founded less than a hundred years ago.

It did not completely follow the traditions of those immortal dynasties in the cultivation realm but unified the mundane world with a new order.

Immortals and mortals live separately.

Each has its path.

The mortal world uses mortal laws.

While cultivators have their own laws, the two are separated, orderly.

Each Immortal City Market was established in the Outer World, surrounded by Spirit Mountains, Spirit Fields, and many open residential areas for loose cultivators, aiding the Great Xia Dynasty in birthing cultivators on their cultivation path.

In these newly established Immortal City Markets, many cultivators from the Ji Family and Celestial Will Sect saw many good ’investment’ opportunities.

Businesses that can earn Spirit Stones are not easily forsaken by most cultivators of the Immortal Dao Lineage.

In fact, not every high-tier cultivator of the Immortal Sect Dao Lineage thrives on ’plunder.’

In times of stable order, many cultivators of the Immortal Sect Dao Lineage adhere to the rules of the cultivation realm.

Only in the Barbaric Land, or unnoticed dark corners by many Immortal Sect Dao Lineages, does the law of the jungle prevail.

...

Zhang Jian’s entry into the Tongshan Dao Lineage was exceptionally smooth.

The Sect Leader of the Tongshan Dao Lineage, the Fuyou Daoist, personally led Zhang Jian into the Ancestral Hall upon hearing his purpose, acquiring another fundamental core inheritance.

Inside the Ancestral Hall, Qing Yuan Ancestor was guarding and also instructed Zhang Jian.

"Ah Yu, the Divine Dao inheritance is equally profound, but the Divine Dao and Immortal Dao are different. These are two distinct cultivation paths; you still need to evaluate carefully, not to be influenced in your path!"

Zhang Jian nodded.

The Divine Dao lies in control, comprehending the wonders of Heavenly Dao Law, mastering the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The Immortal Dao seeks transcendence.

As an Innate God, Zhang Jian is more aware of the differences.

He wouldn’t be easily disturbed.

Though an Innate Divine Body, he uses it merely as a stepping stone, continuing to primarily cultivate the Immortal Dao.

The Innate Divine Dao is merely auxiliary.

Assisting in cultivation, magical combat.

It also serves to provide insights into one’s own path.

Zhang Jian nodded slightly and, after pondering, spoke again.

"Elder Qing Yuan, I wonder if the Tongshan Dao Lineage has any Divine Dao techniques of Tier Two or above?"

Zhang Jian’s expression was solemn; this was the primary purpose of his journey into the Tongshan Dao Lineage.

What he lacked was not only systematic divine techniques but also high-tier Divine Dao techniques.

Qing Yuan Ancestor was not surprised by these words.

He smiled and said,

"It’s remarkable you have endured until now. The sect indeed has high-tier Divine Dao techniques. Additionally, there are Tier Two or higher Immortal Dao techniques, but the methods to inherit these techniques require special conditions!"

"Is it the destiny contribution and some spirit crystal compensation?"

Zhang Jian was already aware of this point about Ancestral Qi.

Obtaining techniques within the sect is naturally different from purchasing them at commercial establishments like the Mountain and Sea Tower, Heaven’s Edge Pavilion, or Penglai Pavilion.

Although costs are involved, they are far more humane.

The spirit crystal compensation required for the sect is much less.

This is more of a symbolic ’royalty fee’ paid to a part of the magic vein for maintaining, improving techniques, or creating original Daoist techniques.

This ’royalty fee’ becomes a shared wealth that the disciples of this magic vein can utilize.

Qing Yuan Ancestor nodded, dressed in green, with a calm demeanor and only a slight smile, said,

"Your destiny contribution is surely sufficient, and as for some of the spirit crystal costs, the sect will cover it for you, considered as support for you!"

Zhang Jian was unwilling to take this advantage; he wasn’t short of spirit crystals.

However, refusing it entirely might seem disrespectful to the Elder’s kind intentions, so after some thought, Zhang Jian proposed,

"Elder, I have a live treasure here, can I sell it to the sect as compensation for this spirit crystal cost?"

"A live treasure?"

Qing Yuan Ancestor’s mouth twitched slightly.

He vaguely guessed what it could be.

Zhang Jian’s recent trades involving strong members of the Demon Race have become quite frequent.

Indeed, with a flick of his wrist, Zhang Jian conjured a large piece of profound ice and tossed it before Qing Yuan Ancestor.

Inside the large block of profound ice, Zhu Yan Demon Monarch was sealed within, though the ’Thousand Jins’ in his hand had vanished without a trace.

His body had been stripped, losing a significant portion of armor and fur.

Zhang Jian pointed at Zhu Yan Demon Monarch in the profound ice and laughed,

"Elder Qing Yuan, could he possibly serve as treasure compensation for the sect?!"

Qing Yuan Ancestor watched this scene, his eye twitching.

This Zhu Yan Demon Monarch was indeed captured alive by Zhang Jian!

He observed this miserable Demon Race Supreme with a discerning eye.

This is probably the most miserable leader among the Demon Race leaders in history.

A Demon Race powerhouse who touched the threshold of the Taiyi Realm, and as a son of the Demon Emperor, his value is immense.

It’s known that the Stone Emperor’s accomplishments upon entering the Celestial Realm were not simple, and using this as a trade condition could yield significant gains.

Qing Yuan Ancestor didn’t decline, smiling as he said,

"Leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts, his value is extraordinary, this is a grand gift!"

With a wave of his hand, he stored the demon monarch into his sleeve.

Zhang Jian immediately brought up matters regarding the Divine Land.

He mentioned it subtly, but Qing Yuan Ancestor still discerned Zhang Jian’s intention, and he said,

"Ah Yu, you need not worry about this. My peers and I are discussing this matter with the other eight veins, and good news should come soon!"

This issue still faced some resistance within the Tongshan Dao Lineage, as it concerned the interests of many sect disciples.

However, with the support of the Second Generation Ancestors, these opposing voices would soon be suppressed!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s eyes brightened.

To gain the full support of the Tongshan Dao Lineage and govern the East Suspended Divine Continent effortlessly, that would be ideal.

Nonetheless, such matters have both pros and cons.

The advantage is his quick unification of the Divine Land; the disadvantage is it might reduce the influence of the Great Xia Dynasty across regions.

Since it’s not land gained by one’s own strength, many local interests involved might prevent bold reforms.

However, Zhang Jian was patient.

With him around, he’d eventually suppress everything.

But for now, with this good news, he could temporarily postpone the ancestral worship.

Once the Divine Land is unified, it won’t be too late to conduct the ancestral rituals.

Finally, Zhang Jian inquired about the unusual phenomena between heaven and earth!
