Chapter 540: Chapter 418: Eradication (4k)_2

"The human realm is fragile, ultimately suffering in torment!"

Zhang Jian gazed downward. In this fertile land, several kingdoms were constantly at war, countless people displaced. With the authority of the earth, he slightly perceived the many demons lurking in the mortal realm, taking advantage to create mischief, absorbing the essence blood and souls of living beings.

Those kingdoms were merely puppets propped up by the Immortal Sect Dao Lineages, unable to control their own fate.

They could only shut their doors and find joy amidst their suffering.

At this moment, Bai Liying saw Zhang Jian’s gaze resting on the branch of the Two Realms Mountain Range, the Qingli Mountain Range, and she instinctively guessed some of Zhang Jian’s thoughts.

"Your Majesty has taken a liking to the spiritual land within Qingli Mountain?"

Bai Liying’s eyes fell below.

The Qingli Mountain Range below was rich in spiritual mechanism, ancient trees lush, within which were hidden exotic flowers and grasses. If well-organized, establishing a Spirit Mountain Blessed Land was not impossible.

As for the heterodox sects lingering around, they could simply be expelled.

Combined with setting up a Mountain Protection Array, it wouldn’t take long to become a paradise.

Zhang Jian’s eyes slightly smiled. He wasn’t particularly enamored by this place and chuckled.

"Princess, let us first set up a Mountain Protection Array here for future use. Even if not needed later, it can serve as the Zhang Family’s Medicine Mountain and Spirit Field!"

At that moment, he descended with Bai Liying. Bai Liying slightly operated magic, clearing away weeds and poisonous miasma completely.

Zhang Jian then took out a set of Dharma Artifact he had refined earlier.

Dream Traveling Void Array.

Over a dozen array banners and array discs transformed into streams of light, entering the center of the Spirit Mountain, enveloping a section of it.

As for the few heterodox sect members inside, when Zhang Jian confirmed they were stained with blood, he directly used a Daoist Technique to freeze them completely into ice sculptures.

Moments later, the couple scattered some spirit grass and medicinal herb seeds in the newly developed Spirit Field and Medicinal Field.

Then, they saw invisible light gradually enveloping the area from the depths of the void.

The surrounding spiritual mechanism remained, but within it lay hidden dangers, a maze concealed; spirit beasts, exotic beasts would quickly lose direction once trapped.

As for cultivators entering, they would merely regard it as an ordinary mountain forest, finding it hard to discern the mysteries within, circled around externally before being expelled from the array.

In the forest, the husband and wife watched this scene, both smiling slightly.

Bai Liying’s beautiful eyes carried a hint of a smile.

The Zhang Family intended to branch out, mainly relying on Zhang Yi and Zhang Zhao.

Bai Liying had also examined Zhang Yi’s countenance. He possessed Dragon Blood, with peach blossoms flourishing deep within his Life Palace. No doubt, he would attract some female friends, very likely leaving a lineage of offspring in the future.

After setting up this place, the couple flew towards Qingping Sea.

Along the way, they found over ten islands with relatively abundant spiritual mechanism, selecting two islands occupied by heterodox sects.

The couple took the opportunity to eliminate the heterodox sects and established Dream Traveling Void Arrays to conceal the islands, marking them as the second and third candidates for Zhang Family’s Spirit Mountain Blessed Land.

...

After speeding for several days, Zhang Jian moved swiftly. Under Middle Heaven, they could already see a grand island.

It was a colossal Spirit Island.

This island was called Wanzhou Island.

The territory of this island was vast, even more expansive than some continental lands on the mainland.

Most importantly, the spiritual mechanism was abundant.

Zhang Jian and his wife had long heard that Qingping Sea Dragon Palace stationed a team here, specifically welcoming guests attending the Sea King Festival.

The couple planned to first enter Qingping Sea Dragon Palace and then proceed to visit friends and family.

At this moment, Bai Liying was extremely excited.

Her expression was full of joy.

The Great Dragon Maiden of Bai Shui Dragon Palace was married far away to Qingping Sea Dragon Palace, as the Principal Consort of Qingping Sea’s Fourth Crown Prince, Xuanli.

Qingping Sea Dragon Palace bore the name Xuan, belonging to the Li Dragon clan within the Dragon Race.

Li Dragon was the Black Dragon.

The couple descended, announced their names, and a lofty Dragon God figure, surrounded by abundant Divine Power, emerged from the grand hall. It was a tall dragon deity with dragon horns atop its head.

His presence resonated with the sea beneath. He was a Dragon Race Elder and held the Sea God Divine Position.

"I am Xuan Zhang, Third Elder of Qingping Dragon Race. We have been remiss in welcoming you, esteemed guests, please forgive us!"

"Elder Xuan Zhang is too kind!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Zhang Jian smiled mildly and then introduced Bai Liying beside him.

"Welcome, esteemed guests, please come inside!"

The gaze of this Dragon Race Elder fell upon Zhang Jian. The Dao Practice surrounding him was not weak; he was a Dragon God of the Creation Level. However, in the presence of Zhang Jian, he seemed to sense an invisible Spiritual Pressure from the depths of his Divine Soul.

This made his expression grow even more respectful.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jian smiled faintly.

In such a setting, concealing one’s abilities entirely is a form of self-disrespect. By revealing a bit of strength, one can secure the appropriate respect.

This also avoids many unnecessary troubles.

By showcasing his near True Immortal Level strength as the Lord of the Eastern Continent, Zhang Jian believed that many troubles would be kept at bay.

Upon sensing his power, the attitude of the Dragon Race Elder before him clearly shifted.

Of course, this was also to support Madam Bai.

At this moment, the two entered the palace.

Inside the palace, there was another Space Shifting Array leading to the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace.

Xuan Zhang cupped his hands and spoke.

"Two esteemed guests, through this Space Shifting Array, you can directly enter Qingping Sea Dragon Palace. Currently, many high-ranking figures from various forces are gathered within the Dragon Palace, exchanging ideas. It also hosts a large market. If you need anything, I shall arrange for a guide to take you to the Sea King Market later!"

Zhang Jian nodded upon hearing this and said with a smile.

"Then I shall thank Daoist Xuan Zhang in advance!"

"No need!"

The Dragon God was exceptionally courteous.

Zhang Jian and his companion then stepped into the Space Array. As the Space Array activated,

a wave of spatial power enveloped the two, and they vanished instantly from their original location.

Simultaneously, after seeing the two off, Xuan Zhang quickly sent the message to the Dragon Palace.

The Sea King Festival, though a grand event of the Qingping Sea Dragon Race, was also an opportunity to forge good relations, aside from showcasing the power of the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace.

The Lord of the Eastern Continent is a significant overlord as well.

The Qingping Sea Dragon Palace naturally would not neglect him.

...

At the Qingping Sea Dragon Palace, the spatial passage coalesced, and two figures emerged from within in an instant.

As their forms appeared, Zhang Jian had already captured the various scenes surrounding the Dragon Palace with his eyes.

At this moment, within his Primordial Spirit Divine Sense, divine images filled with intense Demon Qi and Divine Light appeared all around, revealing numerous Demon Generals and Divine Generals exuding rich Demon Qi.

These Demon Generals and Divine Generals, each with formidable Dao Practice, unmistakably exhibited the Dragon Palace’s foundation.

"May I ask if you are the Lord of the Eastern Continent, Great Xia Emperor, and Great Xia Empress? Your junior, Qingping Sea Dragon Palace’s Crown Prince Xuan Chou, greets the seniors!

I have been ordered to come and welcome the seniors!!"

Amidst the Divine Light, another commanding and noble Dragon Crown Prince advanced, escorted by many Demon Generals, to greet them.

This Dragon Crown Prince, emanating an aura of authority and nobility, was a Dragon God of the Primordial Spirit Level.

And it seemed that he had been at the Primordial Spirit Level for quite some time, being a Great True Master of the Golden Body Level.

Beside him was an elegant Dragon Maiden.

This Dragon Maiden, dressed in a verdant long gown, exuded grace and beauty, as she gracefully saluted and stated,

"Your junior, Xuan He, greets the Emperor, senior!"

Her exquisite beauty was charming and captivating.

Bai Liying merely held Zhang Jian’s arm, her expression unchanged at this display.

Observing this, Zhang Jian smiled slightly and said.

"The Qingping Sea Dragon Palace is truly unparalleled among the seas, with immense heritage!"

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Xuan Chou’s face, and he proceeded to guide Zhang Jian and his companion towards the depths of the Dragon Palace.

Dragon Palace Main Hall

Here, various cultivators gathered, and the Master of Qingping Sea, the Qingping Dragon Monarch, was hosting a grand banquet to entertain the guests.

As they entered the main hall, Zhang Jian immediately noticed a few familiar faces. Apart from the Canal Dragon Monarch, the Silver Dome Dragon King sat at the central seat, and at the top seats were Wu Liang True Monarch and True Monarch Qingyun, two fellow senior brothers from his sect.

Apart from these, the other high-tier cultivators from each major faction were mostly unfamiliar to Zhang Jian.

Wu Liang True Monarch and True Monarch Qingyun also noticed Zhang Jian and his wife entering from the main hall, both showing smiles.

Upon seeing this, the Qingping Dragon Monarch signaled a nearby Divine General to arrange for Zhang Jian to take a seat at the top. However, as he sat, Zhang Jian noticed several gazes directed at him, carrying a subtle hint of hostility.
