That kind of life plate is called the Nine-Five Fate Grid.
It is also an unconventional Emperor’s Fate Grid.
At the sa ti, it is the precursor to the Nine Dragon Fate.
Once the "Nine-Five Fate Grid" takes shape, it signifies that he will temporarily gather five Guardian Red Dragons.
For this, Zhang Jian is extrely pleased.
According to the inherited information in the "Nine Dragon Scripture," once the ’Nine-Five Fate Grid’ is ford, it signifies that this Primordial Spirit Immortal Technique can be directly cultivated to the Immortal Realm.
It contains the profundity of the Immortal Dao, with astonishing power.

Ti flows by like a river.
Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Overall, the Daqian Dynasty experienced continuous upheaval. Nurous vassal kings fell into decline, while civil unrest rose and fell without causing significant waves.
Marquis Zhenbei An Ruming beca a nightmare for local noble families, leading the Divine Strategy Army to suppress countless disturbances and upheavals.
In private, many noble families secretly referred to him as an executioner, King An of the Underworld, fearing him like a tiger.
During these eight years, the court produced not only An Ruming.
For the Daqian Court, these eight years saw a continuous ergence of rising stars: Zhao Qingshan, Zhang Lu, Song Yingzhen, Zhao Yu, Wen Ye, Wang Xiao, Wangqing Province, Peng Yuanzu, Kou Huai Sheng, and many other young talents.
However, it was ultimately the multiple optimized fruit and vegetable seeds, grains, and cereals selected by the Pri Minister’s Mansion that quelled the unrest.
Seeds for rice, millet, sorghum, barley, wheat, and lon were continuously optimized, significantly increasing yield.
The increase was substantial, at least by fifty percent.
The yield of ordinary soybeans, previously about three hundred jin per mu, was optimized for pest and cold resistance, increasing to nearly five hundred jin per mu.
Although soybeans mainly served as feed for horses and livestock in Daqian, the value exhibited still incited public excitent.
Moreover, the subsequent yield increase of optimized polished rice, sorghum, millet, and rice was deed a heavenly auspice.
Coupled with several sects subtly praising the Pri Minister Zhang Jian, even calling him a saintly figure descending upon the world, a Daoist Venerable manifested, such as in the Red Lotus Dao, gained countless believers’ trust.
Without a saintly figure descending, a Daoist Venerable would appear to optimize such abundant seeds, bringing life to countless people.
For noble families, however, this situation was unexpected.
Their foundation relied on nurous common people. When the populace was hungry and insecure, they joined the noble family’s camp willingly, trading their service for food.
But now, with the bountiful grains, cereals, and fruits, not facing hunger beca less of an issue, causing dissatisfaction among ambitious noble families with the current situation.
This would undermine their foundation.
So noble families, and even local noble races, began taking counterasures, spreading rumors, and inciting local officials to intensify their exploitation, attempting to steal the benefits of the court’s agricultural reform.
The court dealt with such local noble races with no leniency.
Once verified, they were imdiately eradicated and publicly tried and sentenced.
During this process, the court also dispatched special envoys to reassess the fields, asure lands, and implent the "Equal Field System"!
This asure was highly welcod by countless common people.
This greatly deterred so local noble families, causing many noble families to dare not oppose the court’s laws.

On the Observatory Platform, Jingming Daoist spent this period nurturing life and resting.
He completely entrusted the everyday affairs of the Dong Shen Temple to He Ying Daoist and so "Pri Minister Faction" within the temple.
On the vast ancient platform, Jingming Daoist’s robes fluttered. He discovered that after not using magical power, his Dao Heart beca more perfect through tempering.
At this mont, a small table lay before him, with a small pot of spirit tea on it, presented as a tribute to the Pri Minister’s Mansion and passed down to him by other cultivators.
This kind of spirit tea is indeed extrely rare.
Beside him were two screens: one displayed a Bodhi poem from Jingtai Hall.
"The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart like a bright mirror stand: Ti and again brush it clean, never let it gather dust."
This poem was requested by Jingming Daoist after Emperor Jingwu passed away.
Another screen displayed another poem.
"Bodhi is originally no tree, nor is the bright mirror a stand: Originally nothing at all, how can dust be attracted?"
This was a gift from Pri Minister Zhang Jian eight years ago.
Jingming Daoist constantly contemplated it and benefited greatly.
At this mont, from the Observatory Platform, he looked toward the Imperial City’s direction.
Within the Imperial City, traffic flowed endlessly, with rchants continuously arriving from all regions.
It looked nothing like the scene of a dynasty’s end.
Eight years of governance resulted in prosperity and contentnt, with people’s hearts returning.
"Pri Minister Zhang, Scholar Zhang..."
Jingming Daoist murmured, his eyes showing a complex expression.
The other party was indeed a living saint.
Such cloud-turning-hand techniques could only be done by this saint.
Even as a cultivator, Jingming Daoist admired him from the innermost depths of his heart.
At the sa ti, Jingming Daoist knew that as people’s hearts returned, the court’s civil and military loyalty gradually converged. The other party feared they would soon take the final step.
"We shall also be freed in the end!"
Jingming Daoist smiled slightly within, as placing one’s life in another’s hands felt unpleasant!

Within the Pri Minister’s Mansion
The magnificent Yellow Court Blessed Land was enveloped in layers of purple clouds, its radiance illuminating the Void Dharma Realm.
The massive power of the Yellow Court Blessed Land radiated throughout Haojing City.
Thanks to its existence, for the past eight years, no evil spirits could invade this Haojing City.
The vast Earth Veins and Profound Void’s Qiantian Pure Qi shed light, filling the Yellow Court Blessed Land with dense purple air, as if forming another world.
Sun, moon, and stars hung high.
Within the Great Sun, another grand Divine Office blossod intense power, caressing the earth.
At the center of the blessed land, under a towering jujube tree, its branches verdant and leaves swaying gently.
Its leaf veins appeared to flow with countless erald vitality runes, while the fire dates glittered.
Nourished by Haojing City’s abundant Earth Qi, this jujube tree beca ever tall and graceful!
At this mont, within the blessed land, a scorching white light shot straight to the heavens, breaking through the Blessed Land Dharma Realm in an instant, reaching deep into the profound void.
Zhang Jian closed his eyes, a book of ancient texts before him, surrounded by a dense layer of vast righteous qi. The substantial righteous qi emanated from him, rging with the vast and righteous atmosphere of heaven and earth.
A vast ocean of righteous qi resonated with him, forcibly absorbed by his ’Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart’ and integrated deep into his Heart Mansion.
At that mont, the jade-white Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart began transforming, emitting strands of colorful light.
The milky Vast Fla was transforming into seven colors.
After more than twenty years, his ’Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart’ was finally about to achieve great success.
Achieving the three immortal legacies of Virtue, rit, and Oration, along with the great success of saving countless lives, absorbing countless vast righteous qi, he finally cultivated this Supre Sage Heart.
He was about to beco a saint!
Under the countless vast righteous qi, a smile appeared on Zhang Jian’s expression.
Before he took the final step, he was indeed this mont’s saintly figure.
