The purple aura spread through the Blessed Land Dharma Realm, even the Demon-Slaying True Monarch felt a constraining force sweeping in, a resplendent divine power that seed to imprison all magic and suppress the laws.
"Ziwei Star Fate?"
Seeing such signs, how could the Demon-Slaying True Monarch not understand that the one who repeatedly caused disturbances in the Ziwei Star recently was precisely Zhang Jian before him!
In an instant, the purple star behind Zhang Jian gradually converged and transford. Behind him, countless starlights took shape, forming a magnificent deity enveloped in purple aura, wearing Ziwei Emperor's Robe. His form erged from the purple light, towering and unparalleled, like a giant god stepping out of the universe, standing steadfast between heaven and earth.
The vast divine might shook the ancient universe!
"This..."
Gazing at the grand phantom of the Ziwei Divine Being before him, the face of the Demon-Slaying True Monarch changed.
This is the Fate of Emperor Ziwei.
A special fate far beyond the ordinary.
The Demon-Slaying True Monarch had seen such fate before; so cultivators pursuing the path of the Saint King in the Outer Void could condense such a fate if they were lucky enough to encounter certain fortuitous opportunities.
This fate is exceptionally strong and can be excellently matched with the Star Immortal Technique for cultivation.
At this mont, Zhang Jian opened his eyes, and within his gaze, there was a faint swirling of purple light, with a significant increase in the spiritual pressure around him.
His foundation was essentially the Four Great Emperor's Fate: Tripod Calms Heaven and Earth, Red Virtue True Lord, Heaven and Sun Calendar, plus the current Fate of Emperor Ziwei, thus increasing his authority over laws and enhancing his power significantly.
Zhang Jian slightly sensed, and imdiately felt that his tangible Primordial Spirit had increased by more than thirty percent.
Given the essence of his tangible Primordial Spirit, a direct increase of thirty percent was more effective than any Sheji Spiritual chanism.
After familiarizing himself for a mont, Zhang Jian turned to the Demon-Slaying True Monarch and asked.
"Master, does our sect have any Puppet Secret Technique or rit Secret Technique?!"
The Demon-Slaying True Monarch glanced at the Hundred-foot Golden Man, understanding Zhang Jian's intention, and replied.
"Of course, there is!"
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhang Jian's face.
Such a gigantic King Jun Golden Man, now that King Jun's remnant spirit remains half, the best thod is undoubtedly to refine it into a puppet. This way, not only can he gain a powerful Golden Man puppet, but he can also comprehend the three great Primordial Spirit Immortal Techniques within the Golden Man, killing multiple birds with one stone.
Having obtained this Supre Treasure, Zhang Jian was full of smiles and intended to courteously show respect to his master, showcasing filial piety.
However, the Demon-Slaying True Monarch did not accept the gesture, as she had other important matters.
The suppression of King Jun's remnant spirit left so aftereffects that needed to be addressed clearly.
But before she left, Zhang Jian stopped the Demon-Slaying True Monarch again.
"Master, I have two living treasures here; could you help assess their worth?"
"Living treasures?"
The Demon-Slaying True Monarch was a little surprised.
Zhang Jian waved his hand, summoning two dazzling streams of light.
The forms of Liu Rui and Ziyuan Daoist erged within a Star Space Crystal.
Both of their Primordial Spirits were sealed, completely unconscious!
"This is the Saintess of the Golden Maiden Sect, and the other is a Primordial Spirit Grand Master of the Golden Maiden Sect. They tried to attack and were captured. I wonder if they're worth anything?"
Zhang Jian looked inquisitive.
These two Primordial Spirit Masters were from the Golden Maiden Sect, especially Saintess Liu Rui, a disciple of the Golden Radiance Saint Mother. Zhang Jian did not directly kill them after their capture.
The Golden Radiance Saint Mother was not soone to be trifled with.
Such troubles were unnecessary for him to bear; it was better to "hand them over" to the sect to handle the aftermath. The sect might even extract so remaining value from them!
With the dragon fight about to begin, Zhang Jian did not want to provoke such powerful enemies. The sect often handled these matters well.
Upon hearing this, the Demon-Slaying True Monarch glanced at both, especially Liu Rui, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes. She looked at Zhang Jian and said.
"Ah Yu, your luck is good. You've picked up 'treasures'! They are not just valuable in the simple sense!"
"Oh?"
Zhang Jian looked surprised.
The Demon-Slaying True Monarch laughed and said, "You might not know, but capturing this 'Liu Rui' has caught the soft spot of the Golden Radiance. It might just save a lot of trouble!"
She originally intended to find the Golden Radiance Saint Mother, look for an opportunity to reclaim the half remnant spirit, with "Liu Rui" in her grasp, it beca much simpler!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes lit up.
He hadn't thought Liu Rui would be so valuable.
The Demon-Slaying True Monarch grabbed Liu Rui and Ziyuan Daoist, collected them, and swiftly left.
...
anwhile, as Zhang Jian attempted to refine the King Jun Golden Man in the Blessed Land Dharma Realm, news about the battle over Guangyuan City began spreading throughout Daqian.
The disappearance of the Dongshen Ancestor and the live capture of Qianhai True Monarch were like a bolt from the blue for the entire Daqian.
In no ti, nurous voices erged across Daqian.
The prestige of the Dong Shen Temple, a behemoth that had suppressed Daqian for centuries, was now precarious at this mont. Any slight disturbance might lead to Daqian's imminent collapse.
Throughout the court, many civil servants and military generals could see clearly the current leaderless state of Daqian, with the Emperor fallen and the Sect Ancestor missing; collapse was only a matter of ti.
...
On the Observatory Platform, Jingming Daoist stood in the void, his eyes full of solitude, like a bright moon, while his brow was filled with countless black aura. At this mont, he could not wield much magical power.
The collapse of Daqian was imminent, with severe backlash descending, affecting this master and apprentice first.
Thus, even though chaos erupted in Haojing City, with Liu Rui and Ziyuan Daoist attacking, Jingming Daoist could only watch quietly.
It was a genuine helplessness!
Not only him, but other Daoists of the Dong Generation from Dong Shen Temple were also fully resisting the aftereffects brought by the destiny backlash of Daqian.
Now, looking at the bright moon in the sky, Jingming Daoist felt a surge of lancholy, reminiscent of countless mories. He had countless tis stood here, dreaming of the future with the Dongshen Ancestor, thinking of helping Daqian unite the Eastern Continent's fertile land and the glory of it all.
Who would have thought that the downfall of Daqian would co so quickly?
"It would end in such a way!"
At this mont, a gentle voice arose from the edge of the Observatory Platform: "Why worry, Master Jingming? The grand sche of the world is to unite and divide, divide and unite; this is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!"
"Scholar Zhang?"
Jingming Daoist's gaze shifted, seeing Zhang Jian walking in slowly from outside.
Behind him was the Nascent Soul Daoist, He Ying, with a worried expression.
Nacent Soul Daoist He Ying had good fortune, evading the assassination night.
Jingming Daoist frowned:
"Scholar Zhang, are you also so pessimistic about Daqian's decline?"
Zhang Jian's gaze flickered slightly, lightly laughing, "A sage, indeed..."
To the people, he indeed was a 'sage' who saved countless lives, but in the eyes of today's court officials and military officers, probably not; rather, a 'powerful minister'.
Shaking his head, Zhang Jian said.
"This is not pessimism, but the objective law of dynasty developnt. Even dynasties established by Saint Kings have been so."
Jingming Daoist was montarily stunned but showed a faint bitter smile, waving his hand.
"No need to ntion it further, I now rely envy Scholar Zhang. In the current court, few cultivators can escape the destiny backlash. Scholar Zhang seems unaffected?"
Jingming Daoist's gaze fell on him, voicing a long-held query.
In theory, Zhang Jian was also a cultivator of the Daqian court; even without using Daqian's destiny for cultivation, there was so connection and thus backlash. However, Zhang Jian seed entirely unaffected.
Zhang Jian stepped forward, smiling.
He had collected Sheji Qiankun Spiritual chanism using the Daqian Cauldron; as the Daqian Dragon Vein shattered, how could he face no backlash?
But first, his connection with Daqian's destiny was not deep, so the backlash was minor.
Second, he had the Destiny Suppressing Treasure to stabilize the destiny.
The Red Dragon Pearl was exceptionally mystical; as a Celestial Treasure granted by the Yaochi Saint Mother, it was enough to fend off such backlash.
Most importantly, his foundation was the four 'Emperor's Fates', walking the Ancient Saint King's Dao, making him an expert in this area, and he would not be affected by Daqian's destiny.
"It is not just !"
"With proper thods, Master can also evade the death tribulation!"
Zhang Jian's gaze focused on Jingming Daoist.
This was also his purpose for entering the Observatory Platform this ti.
Perhaps it was also an opportunity to annex or completely take over the Dong Shen Temple.
