An extraordinary phenomenon suddenly appeared between heaven and earth!

The vast righteous qi soared into the sky, like a river rushing out of Haojing City, sweeping across heaven and earth, countless bright intentions blossomed, washing over the mountains and rivers.

The rivers and mountains were rekindled, the sun and moon gave way, and majestic stars appeared above the sky, illuminating the world.

Human Dao’s brilliance burned brightly!

This scene shocked countless cultivators within and outside of Daqian.

Meanwhile, not only in Daqian, but also in Beichu, and even the Two Realms Region, and many other grand ancient states, countless Saintly temples emitted divine light, subtly resonating with it, celebrating the emergence of yet another saint.

...

Beichu, Guangyuan City

While in seclusion, Three-Phase Ancestor sensed the majestic bright intentions filling the sky, his figure startled, instantly appearing atop the city wall.

His gaze locked instantly in the direction of Haojing City, a hint of shock and anger in his eyes.

"He actually became a saint, how could he possibly become a saint?"

This kind of canonization phenomenon was not unfamiliar to Three-Phase Ancestor.

Over a thousand years ago, when Yu Saint was canonized, he witnessed it firsthand.

This kind of phenomenon is no different!

Yet this canonization left Three-Phase Ancestor incredulous.

For years, information about that Prime Minister Zhang from Haojing City had been continuously sent back to Beichu by their spies.

He was well aware of the other’s intentions.

"When could ’traitorous ministers and rebellious sons’ be canonized as saints?"

Three-Phase Ancestor clenched his five fingers into a fist.

In fact, he somewhat understood that Zhang Jian had not yet shown his ’ambition’.

To the ordinary people, those who could fill their bellies and give them belief and hope were naturally sages.

Moreover, Zhang Jian’s morals were beyond reproach.

To call him a ’traitorous minister and rebellious son’, he had indeed not rebelled!

These things are judged by actions, not intentions.

Yet he couldn’t help but look troubled, Zhang Jian was already difficult to deal with before, now he was canonized.

Three-Phase Ancestor’s expression was somber.

He looked like he was making early preparations.

...

The majestic Divine Mountain suppressed the great marsh.

On the grand Tongshan, the ancient sacred site today also had traces of phenomena emerging from the depths of the central peak.

Inside Jade Pool Hall, Jue Ming Daoist’s eyes showed a peculiar expression, observing the surging destiny in the Lotus Pool.

Waves of faint light emanated, instantly pulling the entire Jade Pool’s fortune up at least two levels.

This was equivalent to what Tongshan had accumulated over a thousand years.

And at the center of the Jade Pool, a red lotus among them had five flower buds shining brightly, flowing with seven-colored light, resembling an unparalleled immortal plant.

This red lotus had sprouted its fifth bud eight years ago, yet now it showed another transformation.

Moreover, above the red lotus, countless patterns of Dragon Qi circulated, faintly indicating a coiling Red Dragon.

"Truly an unparalleled creation, no wonder Junior Sister Zhanmo fought for it so hard, with just this one disciple, the Zhanmo lineage will benefit endlessly, probably won’t have to worry about the use of fortune for thousands of years!"

Jue Ming Daoist inwardly sighed, secretly admiring True Monarch Zhanmo’s sharp vision.

Jue Ming Daoist pondered, even he, as the sect leader, felt envious of this providence.

...

Deep within Yellow Court Blessed Land, Zhang Jian’s gaze swept over the vast righteous qi endlessly flowing toward him.

Countless vast righteous qi centered around him, merging into his hundreds of apertures.

"The phenomenon is quite exaggerated..."

Zhang Jian vaguely sensed this change, quietly sighed.

At the same time, he sensed that within the Life Palace, besides the five Emperor’s Fates, a new seven-colored fate had appeared.

Countless vast energy gathered and formed, transforming into a brain-like seven-colored fate, manifesting as a mystical seven-colored book.

This is a special fate, purely formed from the great completion of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, a unique fate.

It seems to be capable of harnessing a mysterious power between heaven and earth, dispelling all magic, golden words, controlling heaven and earth.

Through this, it allows direct ’insight’ into part of the essence of the Path of Heaven and Earth.

Zhang Jian slightly comprehended and was somewhat amazed!

This fate can be called the ’Confucian Saint’ fate!

He wasn’t actively becoming a saint, but ’passively becoming a saint’.

This saintly body was more of a phenomenon accompanying the achievement of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart.

Though crafty, it was indeed a saintly body.

Seven-colored Vast Flame at this moment emanated from the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, flowing into the depths of his primordial spirit, making his primordial spirit’s divine sense crystal clear, seemingly able to plunge into the ocean of the path of heaven and earth, contemplating its changes.

Saints approach the Dao.

"Immortal’s closeness to the path of heaven and earth is probably like this!"

Zhang Jian’s eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction.

The great completion of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart was an unexpected surprise for him.

But it can be imagined that with the great completion of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, his strength will have a rapid surge in a short time.

The great completion of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart can not only enhance comprehension but also significantly assist in magical combat.

His primordial spirit’s reaction speed, spell casting speed, and even the essence of his primordial spirit will see a significant enhancement in quality.

Zhang Jian slightly restrained the grand vast righteous qi, as at this moment, seven-colored Divine Flame swirled around him, his aura like an abyss or prison.

Now in his further expanded substantial primordial spirit’s depths, surrounding were numerous powerful primordial spirit immortal technique models.

These past eight years, he had not lived in vain.

After successfully cultivating the "Nine Dragon Scripture" and "All Heaven Entwining Silk Technique".

Subsequently, Zhang Jian elevated various primordial spirit immortal techniques he practiced.

"Golden Crow Fission Technique," "Taiyin Refining Form Technique," "Dreaming in the Void," "Yellow Court Blessed Land Technique," "Nine-Turns Wishing Wheel Sutra," "Chaotic Star Sword Technique," "Nine Heavens Wind-Riding Thunder-Controlling Technique," "King’s Cauldron Demon-Vanquishing Secret Record," "Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Secret Record," "Little Heavenly Reincarnation Technique," "Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell" ... all reached Golden Body level.

Among them naturally included "Map of Mountains and Rivers," this lifebound technique, completely upgraded to the Golden Body Realm.

His lifebound treasure, Dragon Roar Sword, also advanced to a Golden Body level with the "Holy Virtue Sword Cleansing Technique," transforming into a Pure Yang Treasure, just half a step away from becoming a Golden Body level Spirit Treasure.

His power is rapidly expanding.

And after eight years of arduous cultivation, his Daoist techniques gradually integrated into "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

During the eight years, the body refining technique "Complete Heaven Star Martial Dao" was also comprehended to the Great Perfection of the Yin Spirit, with hopes of integrating it into a Longevity Martial Dao heritage in the future.

Due to this, his prestige within the Daqian Army was elevated to an unprecedented height.

Having rapidly increased his power, he did not neglect the Daqian Court.

Now the court governance was clear, the local populace steadily settled into peace, although the fundamental contradiction was yet unresolved, it was merely a matter of time to solve it.

Zhang Jian was also very clear that the time for the Zhang Family to ascend had finally arrived.

As the thought crossed Zhang Jian’s mind, he summoned Zhang Zhao immediately.

Now mundane court affairs, including those within Dong Shen Temple, had been entirely entrusted to Zhang Zhao.

Since they were about to act, they needed Zhang Zhao, as well as cooperation between civil and military officials, to perfect this grand performance.
