Cultivation Helped by Ancestors

Chapter 630 - 462: Farewell to My Sister-in-Law (4K)

The Celestial Fox lineage is legendary in the Two Realms, but Zhang Jian had already dealt with them before.

After gathering information, Zhang Jian decided not to linger long at the Li Shui Divine Palace.

However, the Divine Consort of Li Shui, Bai Shuang, called out to him.

"Brother-in-law, since you are planning to search for a spiritual spring, I have a treasure that might help!"

After speaking, Bai Shuang turned and entered the Spring Eye Hall, returning shortly with a jade clam, which she handed to Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian opened the clam box to reveal a resplendent, cool bright pearl.

Inside, it contained a dense layer of water spirit spiritual mechanism.

It emitted a gentle, translucent glow, crystalline and pure.

Zhang Jian could feel its light could influence the water veins of heaven and earth, resonating with the laws of the path of water.

The Divine Consort of Li Shui spoke.

"This item is called the Earth Spring Pearl, an innate spiritual object with a water attribute, a gift from my father after I reshaped my bloodline. It was formed from a spring eye at the Qingping Sea over hundreds of thousands of years, and it has the wonderful ability to sense spiritual springs. It might assist you, brother-in-law, saving much effort!"

Yet Zhang Jian did not accept it, instead returning it to the Divine Consort of Li Shui.

"This item must be dear to elder sister’s heart; I cannot accept it!"

Upon hearing this, a slight blush spread across Bai Shuang’s cheeks. Her eyes showed a bit of embarrassment, but she quickly covered it up and said softly.

"Brother-in-law, please accept it, just consider it on loan from me. With this object’s help, you can search for spiritual springs, and sense the divine materials of the water attribute, ensuring you don’t miss any opportunity!"

"You can return it to me after the journey into the wilderness!"

Unable to refuse Bai Shuang’s kind offer, Zhang Jian accepted it.

Though as an Innate God, he could sense spiritual veins, being an Earth God and not a Water God made this treasure invaluable in avoiding missing out on treasures.

After receiving the treasure, he transformed into a streak of light, heading toward the depths of the wilderness.

After Zhang Jian left, the Divine Consort of Li Shui took a deep breath, suppressing her inner emotions, and slowly walked into the Li Shui Divine Palace.

Since the Fourth Crown Prince, Xuanli, had been deposed by the ’Celestial Fire Palace’, she was in charge of Li Shui.

Bai Shuang knew this appointment was temporary and would soon become permanent. With her performance at the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace, once a vacancy arose, she could move from this harsh land.

All these opportunities were given by her brother-in-law, and she must repay him.

...

"This truly is a treasure land!"

In the wilderness region, Zhang Jian raced rapidly along the upper reaches of Li Shui.

As an Innate God, wielding the sheji sovereignty, he was extremely sensitive to the spiritual changes in the earth, clearly sensing the earth vein’s energy and wilderness spirit energy pervading the wilderness region.

The depths of the earth were filled with creation, vibrant and full of vitality.

Many rare and ancient medicinal herbs grow here.

However, Zhang Jian looked down on ordinary rare herbs.

Only when encountering extremely rare or extinct herbs would he selectively pick some, leaving roots behind, marking them on a map for the Zhang Clan Members.

Zhang Jian moved swiftly, and soon his keen innate primordial spirit sensed a substantial water vein spiritual mechanism from afar.

It appeared to be a long, necklace-like water vein formed deep in a canyon, emitting strong vitality in the dense primeval forest.

The canyon’s steep slopes were covered with dense forests.

A glance was enough for Zhang Jian to recognize the depth of the Qingli Lake water vein, with countless underground streams below.

This was a naturally suitable habitat for the Carp Race.

Approaching this area, Zhang Jian noticed the Earth Spring Pearl in his hand emanating rings of spiritual mechanism light, with a ripple inside, tiny lights emerging from the ripple.

Seven or eight light points converged, with two emitting extraordinarily bright milky white light.

This indicated the presence of seven or eight spiritual springs below.

And two of them were at least Heaven and Earth Divine Object Level.

Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered with peculiar light.

In ordinary regions, such spiritual springs were hard to find even one, yet here were seven or eight, with two at Heaven and Earth Divine Object Level— indeed a water element cultivation blessed land.

Zhang Jian did not care, intending to proceed directly to the Three Holy Countries.

His target was in the Three Holy Countries, ready to seize the treasure directly.

But in an instant, his expression shifted as he noticed turbulent water light deep in the Qingli Lake. Suddenly, a surge of dense demon qi burst out, dominating and primitive.

Below the water, Zhang Jian caught sight of several figures surrounded by demon qi, seemingly bidding farewell.

Those were several demon gods!

Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered as his grand primordial spirit divine sense enveloped the area, eavesdropping on the demon gods’ conversation.

"Brother, since the Three Holy Countries issued the Ten Thousand Demons Invitation, we cannot avoid it. Let me represent you to attend this grand event in the Three Holy Countries!"

Upon hearing this, another demon king surrounded by dense demon qi shook his head and said.

"The Demon Monarch is domineering. If he senses that the leader of our Qingli Carp Race did not personally attend to offer blessings upon waking, he might reproach us. As the clan leader, it’s natural that I should go personally to avoid criticism!"

"Besides, the Demon Monarch’s awakening requires us to prepare a substantial gift!"

The other Great Demon Gods nodded in agreement.

Unbeknownst to them, Zhang Jian had overheard everything.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Realms Spiritual Consciousness Ball in his sea of consciousness spun, allowing him to clearly understand the dialect of these Great Demon Gods.

Zhang Jian pondered slightly.

The intelligence from the Tongshan Dao Lineage was accurate—the Demon Monarch was about to awaken.

He had to deal with it before the awakening and clear the other demon gods in the Three Holy Countries.

And Zhang Jian also learned the identity of that domineering demon qi outside.

It was the chief in the southwest of the Three Holy Countries.

The Celestial Demon Yang Qing.

"Celestial Demon" was just a title. The origin of this great demon god was unknown, with powerful cultivation, skilled in spiritual-type Dharma Gates, difficult to handle.

His cultivation approached near immortal.

Another old demon cultivating over tens of thousands of years.

With his extraordinary Dao practice, Zhang Jian discerned this great demon god’s true form—a demonized ’Celestial Horse’.

Within its body, an unusual bloodline resided.

Seemingly a bloodline from the Outer World.

This aspect became more sensitive after Zhang Jian evolved into an Innate God.

He sensed a wave in his Dao Heart, implying unexpected trouble on this journey!

Considering this, Zhang Jian moved, casually grasping into the void, materializing a phantom realm domain in the distance.

Unknowingly, the ’Celestial Demon’ stepped into it.

Guided by the Map of Mountains and Rivers, its thoughts were revealed to Zhang Jian.

One scene particularly caught his attention.

Amidst the mountains, the ’Celestial Demon’ revealed its form. Its face was narrow, eyes menacing, and though human in shape, it was shrouded within the Black Robe Assembly.

Kneeling before a grand, imposing statue.

"Ancestor, the Demon Master has vanished, and the Demon Monarch is about to awaken. The three saints’ Demon Generals plan a great battle. Shall we seize the opportunity to open the Outer Realm Gate to welcome your descent?!"

Inside, a voice answered.

"Zhou Mountain Realm is our homeland, but coming back is not easy. I’ll attempt to bring forth some power."

After a pause, the voice continued.

"Beware, I’ve sensed the presence of Outer Demon Gods near Celestial Demon Mountain. The wilderness region might already be infiltrated by Outer Demon Gods, stirring trouble!"

"Understood!"

The Celestial Demon nodded slightly.

Zhang Jian observed this scene with a peculiar expression.

Listening to the ’Celestial Demon’ and the Outer World Demon God, the wilderness region seemed already riddled like a sieve, with Outer Demon Gods and even Outer Demons moving about.

Yet Zhang Jian felt no trepidation, his eyes carrying a slight smile.

For him, these outer gods and demons were walking vessels of destiny.

His Saint King ambition required using these outer gods and demons to build his legacy.

Additionally, the chance to continue extracting resources from the ’Ancestral Hall’ was appealing, so why not?
