Chapter 689: Chapter 489: Power of the Mountain and Rivers Sheji
Zhang Jian disregarded the opinions of other high-tier cultivators or the ancient immortals.
Most of the targets he chose to act against came from the outer world.
As for the local demon path powerhouses.
Zhang Jian couldn’t be bothered to strike.
Only if they blocked his way or actively attacked him would he eliminate them effortlessly.
With Zhang Jian, the innate deity’s intervention, the battle concluded swiftly.
Soon, the fierce battle above the forest completely subsided.
The surrounding forest was torn apart by terrifying magic fluctuations, and the immortal techniques encountered shattered the whole Celestial Heart Province.
This was due to restraint among the surrounding immortals and demons and the covert protection of the earth by divine powers.
If it was completely unleashed, the land might have already crumbled into fragments.
The ancient demon spring and the small patch of surrounding forest were like an isolated island in the wilderness.
Many immortals were now inventorying their forces.
In this battle, almost all the demons perished, with only a few cunning demon cultivators of the local demon path, taking the opportunity to flee after the falling of the decaying demon gods and greedy demon gods, while most were eliminated.
On the Alliance of Immortals’ side, they also suffered certain losses; some high-tier cultivators fell under the assault of the outer demon gods and some local demon path powerhouses.
Most were wiped out in the first chaotic wave, unable to resist the onslaught of demons and perished.
There were still over ten who died due to bad luck, mistakes, or misjudgments, with a few pulled down by the outer demon gods as they fell.
Three or four true immortals also met their demise.
They were killed by outer demon gods and outer world demon gods.
Such losses are naturally insignificant compared to the victory.
Zhang Jian’s figure appeared, alongside True Monarch Zhanmo and Imperial Consort Ji Family, Zhang Jian’s gaze passed over this sealed land, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
This calamity is about over.
Next comes the time of great harvest.
This time, having slain so many outer demon gods, including a Daoist Monarch level divine fragment, and successfully thwarted the ancient demon spring calamity, it seems entering the ancestral hall for offerings might bring some surprises.
Zhang Jian felt quite satisfied, though seeing some high-tier cultivators’ faces showing gloom, his joy progressively subsided.
Beside him, True Monarch Zhanmo also appeared somewhat saddened.
Just now, quite a few Primordial Spirit True Monarchs fell, including several true immortals.
Even true immortals who attained longevity perished, let alone Primordial Spirit cultivators.
The road they must travel is still long.
Her gaze glanced at Zhang Jian beside her, perhaps only the various Second Generation Ancestors and innate deities like Zhang Jian could gradually control their own destiny.
Controlling destiny might be beyond reach, but at least they wouldn’t easily encounter calamity.
Thinking it over, True Monarch Zhanmo recalled the changes in the ancient demon spring and couldn’t help but ask.
"Ah Yu, your Map of Mountains and Rivers is truly profound; perhaps even the ancestor master, master uncle ancestor, master elder uncle were unable to detect the ambush of your Map of Mountains and Rivers?"
Upon hearing True Monarch Zhanmo’s words, Qing Yuan Ancestor and Zidian Ancestor also turned their gaze over.
Zidian Ancestor laughed.
"Ah Yu, this time we managed to successfully assist Heaven and Earth to weather this calamity, you are truly the one deserving first credit!"
"However, that Dharma Gate is indeed profound, as we couldn’t detect its trace either!"
Qing Yuan Ancestor was also solemn.
In their place, if they were the demons, they might not have avoided the trap.
If caught by the Map of Mountains and Rivers and dragged into it, they might equally become prisoners.
Many immortals’ pairs of eyes fell upon Zhang Jian, also wanting to find out more.
All immortals knew that from now on, this Mysterious Technique of Map of Mountains and Rivers would likely be renowned across Heaven and Earth, and even the outer worlds.
Such a profound secret technique is truly unheard of!
"The Map of Mountains and Rivers contains the essence of earth and mountain ranges, the cosmos and Heaven and Earth, its excellence lies in its subtlety!"
Zhang Jian’s gaze rippled.
Not just subtlety.
The core secret of the Map of Mountains and Rivers involves the conceptual mystical path of Heaven and Earth, its essence is extraordinarily high.
Think of mountains as mountains, think of water as water!
This capability renders it impossible to guard against!
Zhang Jian smiled, speaking on other topics casually, about his own secret technique’s mysteries he was unwilling to elaborate.
Other ancient immortals listened keenly as they realized that the Great Xia Emperor had no intention to unravel the mystery for everyone, it brought a sense of helplessness.
The immortals thus couldn’t press further.
Beside him stood the Ji Family member, her beautiful eyes held a tranquility deep inside.
The profundity of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, possibly only she, the dual cultivation Dao companion, understood.
This map is known as one of the top profound mysterious secret techniques in the depths of the all heavens void!
Most remarkable is its vast potential for growth.
The Ji Family vaguely feels a sense of pride.
Having defeated the attack of the demons, the immortals are generally in a cheerful mood.
With the demons crushed, sealing the Ancient Demon Spring is no longer a difficult task.
However, when Zhang Jian described the situation within the Ancient Demon Spring, the immortals were momentarily speechless.
In the newly built meeting hall at the Wooden Stockade, many immortals gathered, each with a furrowed brow.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, how long can the grand array you set up be maintained?"
The gaze of Yihun Daoist fell upon him, his brows furrowing deeply.
Beside him were many Daoists from the Celestial Will Sect, and several high-tier cultivators were absent.
They had just returned from outside Celestial Heart Province.
After dealing with the emerging Outer Demon Gods, they hurried back around the Demon Spring Forest.
It seems that during this outside mission, the Celestial Will Sect also paid some price.
In the distance, the situation behind Qianguang Daoist from the Nanhua Sect was similar.
Facing the gazes of the immortals, Zhang Jian spoke.
"It won’t last long, a brief three to five days, at most half a month, before the sealing grand array breaks!"
The Tier Four Immortal Treasure Celestial Demon Gourd can hardly be compared with the Tier Five Immortal Treasure Pure Meditation Staff.
Moreover, the Tier Five Buddhist Treasure Pure Meditation Staff is not ordinary among its kind.
Among Tier Five Immortal Treasures, there are still differences in quality.
Also, because the effects of defense, offense, and support are varied, not every Tier Five Immortal Treasure excels in offensive capabilities.
For example, the Tier Five Immortal Treasure Void Soul Separation Pearl worn by his top disciple is more about assisting cultivation and survival.
It does have offensive capabilities, but they may not be very strong.
Yet, this does not affect the preciousness of the Tier Five Immortal Treasure.
Another example is the Saint King’s Relics, the Sheji King Tripod, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Sect, which each has its divine wonders.
Also, Zhang Jian holds the Thousand Jins, and the Tier Five Immortal Treasure ’Sea King’ of the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace!
There’s also the Madam Yun family’s Supreme Treasure, White Emperor’s Golden Halberd, and so on.
Ancestor Chufa’s gaze swept over everyone and spoke deeply.
"Then we must quickly find a Tier Five Immortal Treasure to replace the Pure Meditation Staff and suppress the Ancient Demon Spring anew!"
Hearing this, the meeting hall became even quieter.
The rarity of Tier Five Immortal Treasures was clear to the immortals.
They are supreme treasures of foundational significance.
Possessing a Tier Five Immortal Treasure is akin to having a Heaven-Supporting Divine Pillar to suppress the sect, deterring any covetous desires.
Most Immortal Sect Dao Lineages don’t even have one!
Even if they did, why would they willingly give up their heritage of their own Dao Lineage?
Seeing the silence from the immortals, the Chufa Immortal was not surprised. After discussing with several Ancient Immortals in the meeting hall and Zhang Jian, he presented another plan.
"I have just discussed a plan with fellow Daoists here. Whoever can find a way to reseal the Ancient Demon Spring, the Tier Five Buddhist Treasure in the center of the Ancient Demon Spring will belong to them!"
Hearing this, the immortals’ eyes brightened.
Among the crowd, Zhang Jian sighed internally.
If he had a Supreme Treasure, he would be willing to abandon it by placing it into the Ancient Demon Spring.
If he could completely resolve the Ancient Demon Spring, it would result in immense merit and fortune.
Not to mention the benefits obtainable at the Ancestral Hall, even the favor of the Path of Heaven and Earth would be tantalizing.
However, though he possesses a Tier Five Immortal Treasure, it is not the suppressing type.
The Thousand Jins is an offensive supreme treasure, not one designed for suppression.
The Sheji King Tripod of the Tongshan Dao Lineage is a suppressing type of Immortal Treasure, but it is vital to the fortune of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Unless absolutely necessary, it would likely not be easily contribute.
At this moment, Zhang Jian’s expression suddenly shifted; he noticed the True Monarch Zhanmo in deep thought, seemingly considering something else!
At the same time, a voice from True Monarch Zhanmo reached Zhang Jian’s ear.
"Ah Yu, your master has a foolproof method—do you dare to do it?"
Zhang Jian’s heart skipped a beat.
The Demonic Evil Qi within the Ancient Demon Spring is terrifying; he knows this clearly.
True Monarch Zhanmo has thought up a foolproof plan, suggesting a one-shot solution!
But asking if he dares to do it.
He definitely does!
