Cultivation Helped by Ancestors

Chapter 578 - 437: Political Marriage (4K)

Zhang Jian left a space coordinate at Er Long Mountain, facilitating his comings and goings, and swiftly returned to the Eastern Continent Fertile Land with Bai Liying.

...

Meanwhile, Qingping Dragon Monarch and others were still unaware that the grave threat of the Outer Demon God in Qingping Sea had been eliminated by Zhang Jian. They were still accompanying Meng Daoist from the Nanhua Sect in a concerted effort to track the demon’s trail.

However, after searching for several years without finding any trace of the Outer Demon God, Qingping Dragon Palace and the Nanhua Sect had to abandon their search.

Nevertheless, the Qingping Dragon Race remained deeply concerned and could only instruct its members not to venture alone easily.

...

Upon returning to the Eastern Continent Fertile Land, Zhang Jian and Bai Liying silently entered the Haojing City Imperial Palace.

Bai Liying resumed her intensive cultivation under the Taiyin Treasure Tree in the depths of the West Palace.

During this journey to Qingping Sea, she awoke her Profound Nether Dragon Carp Bloodline, condensed into a Divine Beast form, and needed time for intensive cultivation to fully master the Divine Beast’s heritage.

It’s conceivable that the upcoming period would be her time of breakthrough.

After consolidating his gains, Zhang Jian extracted the Three Lights Divine Water from within himself, pouring one drop on the buried Flat Peach Core and another drop on the stump obtained from Xiyue Grotto Heaven, testing whether these two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects could take root and sprout.

He kept the remaining drop of Three Lights Divine Water for future use.

This kind of precious treasure could be lifesaving in critical moments.

After being watered with the Three Lights Divine Water, the Flat Peach Core showed a noticeable tendency to take root and sprout in a short time, its inherent vitality seemingly activated in an instant.

However, the other stump remained unchanged, causing a momentary illusion of doubt about whether he had misunderstood, that this peculiar stump had lost its vitality and couldn’t recover.

But Zhang Jian was certain that the stump still held vitality.

Seeing it unable to take root and sprout, Zhang Jian could only wait passively.

He wouldn’t waste the last drop of Three Lights Divine Water like this again.

...

After dealing with the Three Lights Divine Water, Zhang Jian held a grand ancestral ritual again.

In the Grand Ancestral Temple.

This time, Zhang Jian brought along Qi Yuhua, Crown Prince Zhang Zhao, and the young Princess Nanyang for the ancestral ritual.

Inside the temple, the young Princess Nanyang, not yet reaching Qi Yuhua’s waist in height, tightly held Qi Yuhua’s hand, her black and white clear eyes curiously gazing at the solemn and dignified temple.

In front of the temple, small mountain-shaped piles of gold and silver yuanbao had been amassed.

These small mountain-sized heaps of gold and silver yuanbao were unprecedented, even surpassing the founding ancestral ritual.

Various gold and silver yuanbao were burning slowly into green smoke in the central great cauldron.

Zhang Jian watched the small mountain-like piles of gold and silver yuanbao disappear, the smile in his deep-set eyes growing more intense; this time, it seemed fortune was at hand.

Amidst the small mountain-like piles of gold and silver yuanbao, a Spirit Treasure was also gradually turning into green smoke.

It was a Treasure Mirror.

Refined based on the Taiyin Dao Laws, the Taiyin Treasure Mirror.

It was his first time offering a Spirit Treasure in the ritual.

Also, it was his first creation of a Primordial Spirit-level Spirit Treasure.

Initially concerned about the success of the ritual.

But it appeared to be needless worry.

After the ritual was completed, Zhang Jian then discussed another major affair with Qi Yuhua.

Zhang Zhao’s marriage arrangements.
