Cultivation Helped by Ancestors

Chapter 435 - 345: The Creditor

Prime Minister’s Mansion

Within the ancestral hall, at this moment, heaps of gold and silver ingots piled up like small mountains.

The firelight gradually brightens!

Zhang Jian stands tall, wearing a deep purple official robe, which is a ceremonial garment with wide sleeves, embroidered with beautiful patterns on the cuffs, majestic and meticulous.

He wears a High Mountain Crown on his head and a book knife at his waist.

Beside him are one adult and three young ones.

Besides his wife Yu Hua, there are Zhang Zhao, Zhang Chang’an, and Zhang Xian, his two sons and one daughter.

At this moment, Zhang Zhao’s figure has matured; a handsome teenager of thirteen or fourteen, with a touch of innocence in his brows, but an inherent grace cannot be concealed.

Being guided closely by Zhang Jian, Zhang Zhao matured early and has already started helping the family handle numerous matters.

Just as Zhang Yi had cultivated him initially.

Zhang Jian also cultivates Zhang Zhao early in the ways of worldly dealings.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhao is handsome, seeming to have inherited the essence of both Zhang Jian and Yu Hua, even surpassing them, a famous beauty in and out of Haojing City at a young age.

Zhang Chang’an wears a green dress, her hair elegantly arranged, wearing fragrant beads; her tiny face is delicately charming.

Only Zhang Xian is a little younger, a two-year-old still being held by Yu Hua.

In the fire pit, the mountain-like gold and silver ingots gradually melt into blue smoke.

Most importantly is a dharma artifact forged by Zhang Jian.

It’s an ancient bronze-colored seal.

This ancient seal is made by Zhang Jian from ancient bronze.

Limited by the yet-to-be-improved artifact refining technique, Zhang Jian reluctantly engraved a part of the Golden Core Level magic into it, primarily with the Little Heavenly Reincarnation Law Ban.

Zhang Jian engraved a part of the true intent of life and death and reincarnation into it.

Although only the Golden Core Level magic is inscribed, Zhang Jian is quite satisfied; at least now he has made progress.

Being able to integrate Golden Core Level magic into a dharma artifact has already reached the quality of a magical treasure.

With continuous effort, this crucial skill in the Cultivation Realm can be further enhanced.

Under the gaze of everyone, this ancient bronze seal actually melts in the flames.

Looking at the flames, Yu Hua’s elegant face shows some worry, suddenly speaking to Zhang Jian.

"Husband, I don’t know why, but lately I have been feeling restless!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s gaze turns towards Yu Hua, and meeting his eyes, Yu Hua continues.

"Husband, I can’t quite say, just feel an emptiness at heart, as if something important is going to leave me!"

Having said this, Yu Hua can’t help but look at Zhang Jian with her bright eyes; Zhang Jian’s expression slightly tenses, before speaking after a moment.

"Madam, don’t worry, we soon have good news!"

Zhang Jian glances at Zhang Chang’an beside him; he hadn’t expected Yu Hua also to have an omen of a surge in emotions.

Over the past two years, Zhang Chang’an has been practicing the "Red City Technique" of Guangling Immortal Sect, and recently her spiritual mechanism has reached perfection, soon beginning Divination Foundation Establishment to cultivate magical power.

Once Divination Foundation Establishment is completed, it will definitely attract the attention of Guangling Immortal Sect, and Zhang Jian, understanding these major sects, thinks that Zhang Chang’an, possessing a unique Dao Body, might be able to enter the sect exempt from examination.

Seeing Zhang Jian’s gaze fall on Zhang Chang’an, Yu Hua suddenly remembers Zhang Yi who left home, seemingly understanding something, and she can’t help but draw Zhang Chang’an into her arms.

"Mother, what’s wrong?"

Zhang Chang’an, with her playful spirit, senses the peculiarity, obediently leaning against Yu Hua.

Yu Hua shakes her head gently, smiling: "It’s nothing, mother is very happy, you finally are growing up too; today I’ll make your favorite crispy meat!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chang’an’s eyes light up, and she lovingly hugs Yu Hua, her sweet voice: "Mother, you’re so good!"

Zhang Zhao stands by, his expression thoughtful upon hearing this; he watches Zhang Jian and Yu Hua’s expressions and faintly guesses that Zhang Chang’an is also about to leave home to practice.

He has experienced this scene before.

Zhang Jian looks at the mother and daughter, his thoughts flashing, deciding to send a message to True Monarch Zhanmo for him to inquire about Guangling Immortal Sect matters.

Having decided to send Zhang Chang’an into Guangling Immortal Sect, naturally it’s important to gather information on Guangling Immortal Sect’s cultivation environment.

The second thing is choosing a master.

Instead of passive waiting for Zhang Chang’an to choose during Divination Foundation Establishment, it’s better to take initiative.

Given his current Dao practice, status, selecting a renowned master for her is not difficult.

As Madam Zhang rises, he must gradually change his mindset; back when he entered Tongshan Dao Lineage, he was completely reliant on luck, chosen by True Monarch Zhanmo.

Now, he can accomplish this through his strength and influence.

Madam Zhang now has him, a Primordial Spirit Master, sitting guard, no longer a humble family background.

After focusing Divine Sense on sending a message to True Monarch Zhanmo.

Zhang Jian brings Zhang Zhao into the study.

As Zhang Zhao begins learning to handle Zhang Family affairs and court matters, Zhang Jian also begins imparting teachings, simultaneously guiding Zhang Zhao on nurturing Dragon Vein Qi and condensing Hidden Dragon Fate.

Zhang Jian intends for Zhang Zhao to walk the path of Saint King to continue Zhang Family’s legacy.

Compared to Zhang Yi and Zhang Chang’an, Zhang Jian invests more effort in Zhang Zhao.

After all, Zhang Zhao is the predetermined heir of Zhang Family.

...

Within the magnificent giant Immortal Realm enveloped in countless auspicious clouds and propitious qi, Daoist Monarch Qingxia manifests an avatar to stand guard while venturing into the depths of a secret realm, seeking ruins to hone her Dao practice.

Thanks to the massive incense fire acquired from the Lower Realm and the merit treasures, Daoist Monarch Qingxia benefits significantly, shedding the ’weak’ phase quickly and able to travel again.

No longer fearing Taiyin Immortal Monarch’s ’monitoring’!

At this moment, the charming female immortal within the Immortal Realm moves her face.

"Another offering from the Lower Realm?"

She sees a vast sea-like golden light surging from the Two Realms Pool, instantaneously transforming into a golden flood river.

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ quickly takes out a golden lamp to absorb the incense flood river.

Visibly, the golden lamp illuminates with circles of splendid, dazzling merit golden light, almost twenty-one circles.

"Two million one hundred thousand Flawless Incense Fire..."

With just a glance, ’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ cannot help but show surprise in her eyes, colors of astonishment flashing deep within her pupils.

Undoubtedly, for a Daoist Monarch, this is a great wealth.

It can be absorbed personally or sold.

At this moment, from the Two Realms Pool, a glorious heavenly sound emanates, and within it, innate divine charms circulate outwards, shining across the sky, causing a section of Celestial Realm’s heavenly domain rules to tremble.

’Daoist Monarch Qingxia’ watching this scene shows a bit of worry.

"Such an amount of superior incense fire and treasures, according to the equivalence exchange rules set by my true self, this debt will be hard to repay quickly!"

Her elegant face shows a bit of bitter smile.

However, the rules set by her true self are like golden laws, inviolable.

Otherwise, the avatar would be subjected to Dao Heart’s constraint, collapsing and dying.

Her mind involuntarily thinks of the words ’burdened with debt’!
