Chapter 912: Chapter 589: Enlightenment (Part 1)

The Void Spirit Body witnessed this scene and, with a wave of hand, the Lotus King Treasure Realm enveloped the surroundings of the two Yin Spirit Venerables, simultaneously revealing their past.

The two Yin Spirit Venerables were merely loose cultivators living around Bi Xia Ridge, not highly accomplished in Dao Practice, but possessed some unique survival skills.

At this moment, within the Lotus King Treasure Realm, part of their past was revealed, naturally including some methods of murder and robbery.

The Immortals were not surprised to see this.

However, the two loose cultivators, upon seeing this scene, became frightened and turned pale.

The Void Spirit Body observed this scene, continued to fluctuate the time-space ratio, soon revealing the sights in Bi Xia Ridge, where these two loose cultivators lay in wait by the roadside for a robbery, while overhead in the sky three groups of Immortal Light appeared, and they fled ahead, with a purple Immortal Light quickly pursuing behind them.

The woman within that purple Immortal Light was indeed in the guise of Fairy Zihua, holding an ancient Immortal Sword, transforming sword shadows like thunderclaps, causing stormy skies to shatter.

This was precisely Fairy Zihua’s most skilled technique, the Beidou Primordial Thunder Sword Technique, followed by the two figures ahead wailing as they were struck down.

Subsequently, the ’Fairy Zihua’ humiliated two disciples from Celestial Lang Mountain, finally cutting off their tongues and then killing them.

Witnessing the brutal slaughter by the three Immortals, the two loose cultivators were too terrified to move and could only use Secret Techniques to hide their aura, then fled.

But soon enough, several Immortals from Celestial Lang Mountain tracked them down.

The various scenes stopped abruptly.

The Immortals watched this unfold, each displaying changed expressions, especially the Nine Lives Immortal Monarch with a grim look.

Gu Ning Daoist, seeing this, then spoke.

"It seems someone impersonated Zihua and murdered people from Celestial Lang Mountain!"

The matter was now fairly obvious; although they altered to resemble Fairy Zihua, mannerisms are changeable, while aura and speech style still bear slight differences.

Moreover, under the Lotus King Treasure Mirror, Fairy Zihua indeed hadn’t visited that region.

Such time-space retrospection supposedly cannot be falsified.

Given the stature of an Eternal Celestial Monarch, it’s unlikely they would do such a thing.

Other Immortals certainly dared not question the Eternal Celestial Monarch.

The Ji Family, witnessing this, coldly stated.

"Fellow Daoist from Nine Lives, now that the truth is revealed, shouldn’t you offer Zihua an explanation? People of Eternal Ice Castle aren’t to be casually slandered!"

The Nine Lives Immortal Monarch raised his head, meeting the gaze of the other Celestial Immortals, and hesitated slightly at their looks.

Despite being quite renowned in Beichi Zhou as a Great Power.

The Taiyi True Number level of Dao Practice, even within the Central Celestial Realm, made him a welcome guest in many Immortal Gods’ Manors, but faced with the Ji Family’s fierce expression, he rose directly and spoke.

"Celestial Monarch, Fairy Ji, Fellow Daoist Gu, Fellow Daoist Yuan!"

"This matter was my fault, too negligent prior, not deploying Immortal Techniques for careful investigation, causing disturbances to Fairy Zihua and Eternal Ice Castle!"

He slightly bowed, showing apology.

Though underlying was a sullen tone.

But his facial expression became calm as he spoke.

"However, regarding this truth, I assure you that this monarch will get to the bottom of it!"

He rose and immediately turned to leave the Eternal Celestial Monarch Divine Hall.

Evidently, he still held doubt regarding this issue.

His current concession was solely due to the Eternal Celestial Monarch.

Witnessing this, other Celestial Immortals from Beichi Zhou rose in succession, gave slight bows to the Immortals, then bid farewell and departed together.

The two loose cultivators were detained by Eternal Ice Castle for murder and robbery, and imprisoned in the Immortal Prison!

Seeing a disaster dissipate, Fairy Zihua and Jiuling Fairy both felt as if they had narrowly escaped great trouble.

After the departure of the Immortals, Fairy Zihua first stepped forward to express gratitude.

Had it not been for Ji Xueqiong, the elder sister supporting them, given the pressure from Beichi Zhou’s Immortals, it’s likely they wouldn’t have had much strength to resist.

Even though it wasn’t their deed.

But they would inevitably face suspicion and possibly forced confessions under torture.

They were well aware of this!

...

Three Emperors Celestial Realm, Zhang Jian at this time was within the Yellow Emperor Secret Realm, a unique secret realm deep within the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, also an Earth Attribute Secret Realm.

Unlike other Innate Secret Realms.

It was a challenging type secret realm.

The entry requirements were simple; aside from requiring sequence seven and above, one merely needed to pay a portion of Immortal Crystals to practice within.

This suited Zhang Jian, who possessed no contribution grades yet had a very high sequence amongst the Immortal Gods.

The movements within Eternal Ice Castle, he could sense through his link with the Void Illusion Body.

With all matters handled by the Ji Family, Zhang Jian was quite assured.

At this moment, through the trials of the Yellow Emperor Secret Realm, his understanding of the Sheji Ancestral Qi was gradually deepening.

Considering the upcoming years when there would be a divine trial among Great Divine Ability Users within Celestial Emperor Palace, he accelerated his pace through the challenges.

The secret realm contained many Dao Platforms.

Each Dao Platform housed a puppet refined by Xuanyuan Divine Emperor, and after passing, one could utilize the Dao Platform to comprehend some of the profound aspects of the Earth Ancestor Qi Wheel within the Yellow Emperor Secret Realm.

During these years in the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, Zhang Jian grew to appreciate the style of His Majesty the Yellow Emperor.

Among the secret realms established by each Saint Emperor, those set up by His Majesty the Yellow Emperor required the lowest contribution grades, or simply exempted with Immortal Crystals.

Such arrangements were most favorable for Immortal Gods like Zhang Jian.

...

Fifteen years later, deep within the Yellow Emperor Secret Realm, majestic purple aura surged forth, accompanied by three crisp bell chimes, the purple aura swiftly spread, transforming into a formidable Divine Being clad in luxurious attire, exuding the Emperor’s Daoist Aura. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Before the Yellow Emperor Secret Realm, many awaiting Celestial Immortals watched this spectacle, their expressions aghast.

Those three bell chimes clearly signified someone had traversed the Yellow Emperor Secret Realm.

The challenge level of this Yellow Emperor Secret Realm was notably high, listed as Eternal Tier One.

It equated to needing Daoist Monarch Level power for the final challenge.

Numerous Celestial Immortals were privately astonished.

Among them, some Celestial Immortals already recognized Zhang Jian’s identity.

Throughout these hundreds of years in various secret realms of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, Zhang Jian’s activities had been frequent.

Any challenge secret realm selected by him would soon be smoothly conquered.

This scene caught the attention of many observant individuals.

...

Deep within Three Emperors City, Youxiong Kingdom.

This domain was primarily ruled by the illustrious Ji Family of the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, it was a legacy left by the Saint Emperor.

Although Xuanyuan Divine Emperor never appeared here, there frequently were lectures by Saint Emperor’s heirs, meeting many Ji Family members.

The current Patriarch of Ji Family was called Ji Qing.

Ji Qing and the previous Patriarch Ji City were powerful figures of the same era, a Great Immortal with Taiyi Perfection Level.

Atop a grand Immortal Palace, Ji Qing’s gaze was calm, ahead was another Immortal reporting the issue of the Eternal Celestial Monarch passing the Yellow Emperor Secret Realm.

Ji Qing nodded slightly, then dismissed the Immortal.

"Eternal Celestial Monarch!"

Ji Qing’s expression held some contemplation.

He was naturally familiar with this sacred entity.

Previously, this sacred being wanted to visit Youxiong Kingdom and meet him, yet was refused by him, along with any intended discussions.

"Never mind!"

Ji Qing quickly decided to dismiss the matter.

The Ji Family wasn’t likely to engage in any interactions.

Although Ji City’s death was unrelated to him, many Ji Family strong members still believed the opponent’s delayed rescue or harbored malicious intent, enticing Ji City to take risks, ultimately being kidnapped by the Daoist Monarch Demon and falling into Demon Dao.

This resulted in the disgrace of the Ji Family.

Yet twelve years later, the Celestial Emperor Fu Xi and several Great Divine Ability Users were set to engage in a divine trial, such an opportunity could not be missed by the Ji Family and warranted striving.

...

Within the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, a vast undercurrent began to surge.

The notification of Celestial Emperor Fu Xi’s forthcoming divine trial with several Outer World Great Divine Ability Users had spread, but this time, the seats at the forefront of Celestial Emperor Palace were extremely limited, with only three hundred sixty spots.

This scenario meant an abundance of contenders among the widely expansive Three Emperors Celestial Realm and Outer World powers.

Many strong figures from Outer World forces arrived early.

Zhang Jian at the Tongshan Dao Lineage’s station also saw the True Body of Water Official Emperor and some Celestial Court Celestial Immortals personally arriving.

Given such scenography, Zhang Jian couldn’t help but feel secretly astonished.

Because among these arriving Celestial Immortals were Celestial Ancient Immortals, such as the Three Stars of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity.

Also present here were the Beidou Star Monarchs he met, Southern Dipper Star Monarch Fu Yuan.

From the San Yuan Emperor suite, Celestial Official Emperor, Earth Official Emperor were present.

Along with some Immortal Gods seen in Jasper Pool.

Such as Kong Ji from Five Elements Daoist Palace, Celestial Monarch Zhonghua from the Celestial Human Royal Family.

He felt, given such trends, squeezing into those three hundred sixty positions would be a near-impossible task.
