Chapter 691: Chapter 490: Subduing the Demon Tribulation, Heaven and Earth Favor
Does his master also have such a grand opportunity?
Zhang Jian felt a bit envious in his heart.
Up to now, he had only managed to forcibly seize a Tier Five Immortal Treasure, the Thousand Jins, from the Zhu Yan Demon Monarch.
"Thousand Jins" focuses on power, more suitable for close combat, which he found slightly unhandy.
However, thinking of the benefits within the Ancestral Hall, he steadied himself again!
True Monarch Zhanmo handed over the True Martial Heaven-Cutting Demon Refining Map, and after the three Second Generation Ancestor Masters perused it, Ancestor Chufa returned it to True Monarch Zhanmo.
At this moment, Ancestor Chufa also had a slight smile on his face.
"This Tier Five Immortal Treasure indeed possesses the ability to refine demons and transform demons. Combined with Ah Yu’s Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Sheji King Tripod, it truly can begin the refinement of the Ancient Demon Spring!"
He glanced at True Monarch Zhanmo, not expecting True Monarch Zhanmo to have such a fortunate opportunity!
Even many Ancient Immortals have never possessed a Tier Five Immortal Treasure!
Indeed, it is not a treasure that you would find on every street corner.
Now the Tongshan Dao Lineage has produced several such treasures!
It seems the destiny of the Tongshan Dao Lineage is to prosper greatly!
Qing Yuan Ancestor pondered slightly before speaking again.
"However, it would be best to also have a treasure to calm the mind, to avoid being invaded by demons during the demon refining process!"
Those who refine demons are most easily invaded by them!
One who swims well drowns in water!
Just like walking at night too often invites unexpected accidents.
With the recognition of the three Second Generation Ancestor Masters, both True Monarch Zhanmo and Zhang Jian were quite pleased.
As for the supreme treasure to calm the mind, neither of them was worried.
Other places might lack it, but the Tongshan Dao Lineage, with its long heritage, certainly has such accumulations. At the very least, they can borrow such types of treasures!
Ancestor Chufa’s gaze fell on Zhang Jian, saying.
"Ah Yu, first familiarize yourself with the True Martial Heaven-Cutting Demon Refining Map. It would be best to thoroughly understand its internal method of demon refining. I will ask Uncle Wang Ding to assist you, and as for the mind-calming treasures, the three of us will look out for them!"
He smiled slightly, his expression showing a hint of joy.
Since the Tongshan Dao Lineage has better ways to address the Ancient Demon Spring, he naturally would strive to achieve it.
Especially with Zhang Jian and True Monarch Zhanmo taking the lead.
Accomplishing this would bring about immeasurable creation, and True Monarch Zhanmo might even achieve the Celestial Immortal Body in the future.
Zhang Jian might have the hope of becoming Taiyi or even reaching the Taiyi True Number in this realm.
The Tongshan Dao Lineage would gain substantial benefits!
Ancestor Chufa spoke again.
"However, the treasure Ah Yu holds can only suppress the Ancient Demon Spring for a few days. We need another treasure to temporarily replace the Celestial Demon Gourd for suppressing the Demon Spring!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Yuan Ancestor waved his hand and took out the Sheji King Tripod.
"Uncle Wang Ding, such an important task of suppressing the Ancient Demon Spring can only be temporarily entrusted to you; handing it over to other disciples would not be reassuring!"
A rumbling voice came from within the Sheji King Tripod.
"Naturally, only this Immortal could undertake such an important task within and beyond this realm; how could other treasures compare to this Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, the Immortals present all gave a slight smile.
...
Seven days later
Beside the Cloud-Piercing Giant Tower, layers of grand Innate Divine Light circulated around Zhang Jian, surrounded by purple clouds and golden light intertwined.
This was part of the great destiny and merit that descended after calming the great tribulation, mingling with the graces of heaven and earth to form such a glorious spectacle.
In the surrounding woods, several Ancient Immortals were waiting.
There were also numerous High-Tier Primordial Spirit Immortals.
Their eyes watched the purple light surrounding Zhang Jian, secretly envious.
This creation of Heaven and Earth could be considered a once-in-an-era opportunity.
But they indeed had no way to compete for it.
After all, surviving the great tribulation alone was a blessing; profiting was beyond hope.
To gain profit was usually a result of heaven’s fortune and creation, somewhat by luck!
However, the source of the great tribulation still exists, and the main event has yet to unfold!
Solving this source of the great tribulation would certainly bring another wave of massive destiny and merit.
Unfortunately, they could no longer participate in this matter.
Some High-Tier Cultivators showed some gloominess in their eyes, not lacking thoughts of preferring destruction over letting others benefit.
But faced with so many Immortals, they dared not entertain a single such thought.
If such a sign appears, those Ancient Immortals will not be polite with them.
Zhang Jian at this moment held the True Martial Heaven-Cutting Demon Refining Map on his lap.
In seven days, he gradually comprehended part of the mysteries of the True Martial Heaven-Cutting Dao Map, and now it was almost time.
At this moment, by the edge of the forest, the Qing Yuan Ancestor, Ancestor Chufa, and Zidian Ancestor, three Second Generation Ancestor Masters of the Tongshan Dao Lineage appeared, alongside the Yihun Daoist of the Celestial Will Sect and the Qianguang Daoist of the Nanhua Sect.
Beside the two daoists, there were also two cultivators possessing immortal grace and Dao Bone.
One male and one female.
The man had a heroic appearance, with long hair draped over his shoulders, holding an ancient sword in his hand, his eyebrows sharp, looking like a swordsman in the mortal world, yet an almost celestial power surrounded him.
The woman had a graceful figure, like a young married beauty, wearing a dress of a hundred flowers, with sparkling apricot eyes, holding a flower basket in her hand.
Ji Family was also present, occasionally exchanging a few words with her, appearing quite familiar.
Zhang Jian did not rise, only slightly opened his eyes, and upon seeing everyone’s arrival, Ancestor Chufa asked.
"Ah Yu, are you ready?"
Zhang Jian nodded slightly.
"Everything is in place!"
Ancestor Chufa nodded, then pointed at the two high-tier cultivators, and said to Zhang Jian.
"Ah Yu, these two are True Monarch Chang Chun of the Nanhua Sect and True Monarch Yu Xiu of the Celestial Will Sect. They are respectively carrying the Supreme Spirit-Calming Treasure, the Supreme Demon-Subduing Zither of the Nanhua Sect, and the Celestial Will Jade Heart Ring of the Celestial Will Sect. Both supreme treasures have the power to resist demonic qi and resolve demonic fiend energy, and they will assist you in completing the great mission!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered slightly.
Two supreme treasures?
One supreme treasure would actually suffice.
Moreover, the main assistance was to drive the True Martial Heaven-Cutting Demon Refining Map for True Monarch Zhanmo, and not him?
Why such an extravagant setup?
An odd expression flashed in Zhang Jian’s eyes; he instinctively sensed some trickery.
The Tongshan Dao Lineage must have reached some agreement with the Nanhua Sect and the Celestial Will Sect.
Zhang Jian noticed these two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were cultivators with an unusually deep accumulation of the Immortal Dao Law.
They were probably among the best of the two sects’ Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
At this moment, a voice came to Zhang Jian’s ear.
"Don’t hesitate. The Nanhua Sect and the Celestial Will Sect have agreed that as long as we, Tongshan, share with them a portion of merit and destiny, they will no longer obstruct you in uniting the Zhou Mountain Realm and will give you their full support!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian exchanged a glance with Ancestor Chufa and nodded silently.
Sharing a portion of merit and destiny is not a big deal.
Besides, these two are only here to assist; they won’t take much of the merit and destiny.
Zhang Jian speculated that the two Immortal Sect Dao Lineages were just going with the flow, seizing this opportunity, as they knew they could not resist the prevailing trend of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was also a way to give an account to the immortals within their Dao Lineages.
Such matters are beneficial to the Great Xia Dynasty without any harm, so Zhang Jian naturally agreed.
Immediately, Zhang Jian, along with True Monarch Zhanmo, True Monarch Chang Chun, True Monarch Yu Xiu, and the Ji Family, entered deep into the Ancient Demon Spring.
True Monarch Zhanmo was responsible for driving the True Martial Heaven-Cutting Demon Refining Map to suppress and transform demonic qi, while the Ji Family used the Paradise Immortal Spirit Map to siphon off part of the transformed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, and True Monarch Chang Chun and True Monarch Yu Xiu only needed to activate the two exotic treasures to pacify and suppress the demonic nature within the demonic fiend energy.
Zhang Jian, as the primary host, would cooperate with the Sheji King Tripod to fully refine the demonic fiend origin within the Ancient Demon Spring, completely restoring it to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, removing this tumor from the earth.
Once the five of them leaped deep into the Ancient Demon Spring, an immeasurable nine-colored divine light emanated, transforming into a massive vortex, devouring the surging demonic fiend energy within the Ancient Demon Spring.
Rumble!!
The Ancient Demon Spring below was like boiling water, roaring as if the sound of a Demon God’s anger emerged, but this Sound of the Demon God was soon enveloped by the nine-colored divine light.
Visibly, the layers upon layers of demonic fiend energy within the Ancient Demon Spring began to decline.
Within the nine-colored vortex below, a magnificent cosmic world manifested, with mountains and rivers, heaven and earth.
Inside, numerous nine-colored giant towers formed, and atop the central altar, a majestic tripod appeared, in which blue and white divine lights transformed into a rapidly rotating Yin Yang Taiji.
Above them floated a grand Dao Map, resembling a massive water eye.
It formed a yin-yang concentric circle with the Sheji King Tripod, mutually influencing and rapidly transforming the Ancient Demon Spring.
Meanwhile, the transformed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism continually fed into the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Paradise Immortal Spirit Map.
...
After observing for several days around, the three Second Generation Ancestor Masters noticed the noticeably decreased demonic qi within the Ancient Demon Spring and nodded silently.
Qing Yuan Ancestor said.
"It seems there will be no issues!"
Ancestor Chufa also stroked his beard with a smile.
"The Demon Tribulation is subdued, the great event is foreseeable!"
His words held a deeper meaning!
Once this tribulation is subdued, it will be the time to alter the heavens and change the earth!
