Cultivation Helped by Ancestors

Chapter 588 - 442: Letting the Disciple Take the Spotlight

The Nine-Colored Dao Map before her was something she knew she might not be able to unravel just by glancing at it. Once entangled in its trap, she would likely become nothing more than a puppet in the scroll.

At this moment, the demonic cultivators in the Taiyin Demon Palace surrounding Yinchi Mountain were almost entirely captured by Zhang Jian.

The Nine-Colored Divine Light began to invade the subspace within the Yin Pool.

The Nine-Colored Dao Map swept across the heavens and the earth.

Zhang Jian now focused his gaze on the depths of the subspace.

Although the Map of Mountains and Rivers had been elevated to a Tier Three Immortal Technique, it was passively upgraded by incorporating the "Heart of the Dimension." Whether it could achieve the desired effect was something Zhang Jian was not yet sure of. It required extensive practical testing.

At this time, the Nine-Colored Divine Light had silently invaded the subspace, completely enveloping it.

"Has it not been recognized by the Immortal Mansion Dharma Artifacts within the subspace?"

True Monarch Zhanmo was even more surprised as she watched this unfold.

Through secret techniques, she had previously probed and pinpointed the location of the Taiyin Demon Palace’s nest. She also confirmed that deep within the nest, there must be special Immortal Mansion Dharma Artifacts suppressing the subspace, making it easy to trigger forbidden techniques upon invasion.

Zhang Jian smiled faintly.

With the Heart of the Dimension incorporated, the Map of Mountains and Rivers gradually became a universe of its own. Suppressing a subspace was not a difficult task, so why would it trigger a forbidden technique backlash?

Moreover, the mysteries contained within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, with its blend of illusion and reality, could deceive even immortals and transform the various forbidden techniques within the subspace.

He was not a Rune Grandmaster for nothing.

Deep within the Taiyin Demon Palace, a woman clad in black suddenly opened her eyes, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked around with some surprise.

She was the Palace Master of the Taiyin Demon Palace, Yue Qingcheng.

Also the previous Hall Master of Cold Moon Hall.

For some reason, a strong sense of dread arose from deep within her heart.

This was an intuition.

Her expression was somewhat peculiar.

Being in the lair of the Taiyin Demon Palace, she didn’t think anyone could threaten her.

Yet she indifferently walked out of Cold Moon Hall, her graceful figure scanning the surroundings.

Everything seemed normal.

There were no signs of anomaly.

The numerous strong individuals of the Demon Sect, the hidden sentinels of the Demon Palace, and even the guards of the Demon Palace were still within her perception.

At this moment, she had a thought, and a pitch-black Demon Stone appeared in her hand.

The Demon Stone rose, instantly transforming into a vortex above the Taiyin Demon Palace. A huge vortex appeared, starting to devour the countless dark demonic qi deep within the subspace, as if capable of swallowing the heavens.

"This seems to be..."

Zhang Jian gazed into the depths of the subspace, a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Following his gaze, True Monarch Zhanmo was now looking from the outside into the scroll.

Viewing a two-dimensional painting from a higher dimension.

She spoke softly.

"This object is called the Evil Thought Stone, an extremely malicious item born of heaven and earth. Though it is fierce and evil, it is also a top-tier Heaven and Earth Divine Object, worthy of the term treasure!"

"It’s quite a good thing. It seems that the strong figure in the Taiyin Demon Palace does not understand the ritual refinement method, unable to unleash the treasure’s power!"

Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered slightly.

He knew that any treasure worthy of the name had an extraordinary value.

For example, the Three Lights Divine Water.

A slight smile appeared in the eyes of True Monarch Zhanmo as she spoke.

"Naturally, the Evil Thought Stone is formed from the accumulated evil thoughts of countless beings over a million years in utter desolation. I once saw a Demon God refine an Extremely Evil Jidu Map with it in the outer realm, slaughtering billions, even an immortal cultivating the Dao Fruit would fear it greatly!"

"Yue Qingcheng is strong, but she is just a True Immortal, unable to harness the divine wonder of this treasure!"

However, there was still a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Even if the Evil Thought Stone wasn’t refined into an Immortal Treasure, its inherent power as a Heaven and Earth Treasure was astonishing.

With this treasure, Yue Qingcheng counted as a fierce character among True Immortal level experts, with no one daring to provoke her lightly.

Now, even with such a treasure, it couldn’t stir the power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

The concept of ’thinking of the mountain as the mountain, thinking of the water as the water’ describes the terrifying law power and attributes.

True Monarch Zhanmo glanced at Zhang Jian, now having some understanding of why so many Second Generation Ancestor Masters valued him so highly.

"Come!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian smiled faintly. He spread his palm, sensing that the Map of Mountains and Rivers had fully suppressed the space-time power of the Tier Two Immortal Mansion below, and with a wave, he tucked the Map of Mountains and Rivers into the depths of his palm.

Now, in the palm of his hand, a Nine-Colored Dao Map revealed various scenes.

Inside, there were Taiyin Demon Palace cultivators refining magic in the Yin Pool, and elders of the Taiyin Demon Palace visualizing demonic maps, engraving Primordial Spirit magical power.

There were also scenes of Taiyin Golden Centipedes roaming and preying deep within the illusionary mountain peaks.

More so, there were witches offering their bodies, practicing yin-yang harmony in seductive tones.

These various scenes, without exception, were all under Zhang Jian’s control, as if he could overturn it all in a single thought, turning them into cosmic dust.

True Monarch Zhanmo couldn’t help but sigh in amazement at these scenes.

Such Immortal Techniques, truly usurping the creation of heaven and earth, exhausting the divine wonders of all things.

"Heaven-defying Immortal Technique!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian raised his hand, taking hold of a pitch-black strange black stone.

This was precisely the Evil Thought Stone.

Zhang Jian sensed the terrifying evil thoughts contained within this item, his brow furrowing slightly. He then handed the Evil Thought Stone to True Monarch Zhanmo with a smile.

"Master, this item is of limited use in my hands, better to entrust it to you as a token of my filial respect!"

True Monarch Zhanmo glanced at Zhang Jian, but did not refuse, only smiling as she spoke.

"At least you, this unfilial disciple, still show some filial piety!"

"This item is indeed somewhat useful in my hands. The material of my Demon-Slaying Immortal-Slaying Sword is limited, and to further improve it, I do indeed need such a Heaven and Earth Treasure to be integrated!

Pausing, True Monarch Zhanmo continued.

"Ah Yu, since Zhao’Er is to marry the heavenly girl of the Si Family, you should not be lazy. It’s time to be ostentatious, creating more commotion would be favorable!"

Her gaze shifted towards the direction of Yinchi Mountain.

The whereabouts of the Taiyin Demon Palace within Yinchi Mountain were erased without a trace, now considered as ’missing persons.’

If claiming this accomplishment for oneself, other High-Tier Cultivators might not agree.

Zhang Jian chuckled lightly at this.

"Master, that’s not difficult!"

After all, being ostentatious isn’t hard. Someday, I shall gather all the demon offspring of the Taiyin Demon Palace and execute them at the market in Haojing City, that will surely shake the Cultivation Realm.

True Monarch Zhanmo glanced at Zhang Jian, and the two exchanged a look before heading to the next location.

The territory of the Asura Demon Sect was different from the Taiyin Demon Palace.

The sect of the Asura Demon Sect was more hidden.

But this could not escape the eyes of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.

True Monarch Zhanmo had already detected the location of the Asura Demon Sect’s sect through the eyes of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.

...

Meanwhile, at the Tongshan Dao Lineage

At Celestial Pool Peak, Sect Leader Tongshan, Fuyou Daoist, also sensed unusual occurrences within the Lotus Pool at the depths of the Celestial Fortune Pool.

The destiny of the Tongshan Dao Lineage was continuously increasing.

Not only at Demon-slaying Peak, but the Fortune Lotus Pools of various main peak lineages were also experiencing fluctuations in fortune.

However, the growth rate was not as swift as at Demon-slaying Peak.

"It seems Junior Sister Zhanmo is progressing faster than the other senior brothers and sisters!"

He gazed with slight delight!

Immediately, his eyes fell upon the center of the Fortune Lotus Pool!

In the central region of the Lotus Pool, there was a Cyan Lotus that thrived perennial!

But now, the surroundings of the Cyan Lotus were shrouded in black and red auras, resembling myriad black snakes!

This scene was terrifying!

This lotus is known as the Ten Thousand Spirits Faraway Cyan Lotus!

It is not an ordinary Qi Fortune Lotus!

Its perception of tribulation brings transformation!

Fuyou Daoist looked upwards, witnessing dense dark clouds resembling mountains and hills!

Such tribulation qi was terrifying!

Fortunately, countless pillars of fortune light reached to the sky below, sustaining the firmament!

Fuyou Daoist’s eyes sighed lightly, silently praying in his heart, "May the Ancestor Master protect us and let all beings pass through this great tribulation safely!"
