"Wait, the Dao Court you mentioned? The Dao Court from the Third Epoch?" Zhuge Wenxiong suddenly interjected, interrupting Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia, on the other hand, looked up at Zhuge Wenxiong and asked, "Since you asked me about the inheritance of the Duobao Dao System, shouldn’t I mention the Dao Court?"

Both looked into each other’s eyes, and Xuan Yingdao asked again, "Who exactly are you?"

"My background? You both can be assured, I don’t have much to do with either Shangqing or Yuqing, at most, I have some affairs with Taiching, and moreover..."

Wang Zijia picked up the teacup on the table and said lightly, "It seems you’ve both focused on the wrong issue. Today is not my Three Canvass Dharma Assembly."

"Right, you two have a lot of experience in solidifying the immortal body, don’t you? There were some mishaps and flaws when I solidified my immortal body. Can either of you enlighten me?"

At this point, Zhu Qi, who had realized that she had veered off the initial topic, immediately seized the opportunity to divert it to her question.

Zhuge Wenxiong and Xuan Yingdao deeply looked at Wang Zijia before shifting the topic again, saying,

"I saw it before, but fellow Daoist, that’s a minor issue. With some time, it can be resolved. However, solidifying the immortal body in the East Wilderness is indeed a challenge..."

As the conversation continued, matters seemed to return to normal.

The three of them discussed their cultivation experiences—the voices of Xuan Yingdao and Zhuge Wenxiong were the most prominent, while Zhu Qi listened.

Meanwhile, Wang Zijia calmly sipped his tea as if none of this concerned him.

After about thirty-five minutes, the two probably realized that Zhu Qi needed time to stabilize her cultivation. The fact that she could entertain them during this period was already respectful enough.

Therefore, after they had acquainted themselves, they prepared to bid their farewells and leave.

At this juncture, Zhu Qi suddenly asked, "Could you two tell me how the Three Sects are handling the matters regarding the Taiching Secret Realm and the Witch Realm?"

The two paused slightly, and Zhuge Wenxiong said, "The Taiching ruins are extremely suitable for cultivating Taoist soldiers. Given that various relics are appearing frequently, and various foreign domain channels appear from time to time, it is precisely the time when exploration forces are needed."

"So I assume the Martial Uncles would take them back to the Central Immortal Domain, adjusting it to become a suitable barrack for war mobilization!"

"As for the Witch Realm... it’s just a fragment of the Great Thousand World. I suspect that once the Patriarchs have spare time in their hands, they will launch a Seize World cleansing war to completely eliminate those mad gods!"

"Spare time?" Zhu Qi asked in confusion.

"Although the Witch Realm has also declined significantly, there are still a few celestial gods in divine robes who suppress its boundaries. These mad gods were nothing when they came out, but they are a bit tricky at home. To initiate a Seize World cleansing war, Celestial Immortal Venerates at the Ninth Realm are needed to lead the team."

"However, I don’t know what’s happening recently, with Sinful Disasters breaking out all over, wars igniting, and various struggles ongoing, the Patriarchs have all been busy. Even the few Martial Uncles who came this time are exploring the ancient relics they encountered in the void."

"So, I guess we will have to wait for some time!"

At this point, Zhuge Wenxiong glanced at Zhu Qi and Wang Zijia and asked, "Do you bear a grudge against the Witch Realm?"

Wang Zijia didn’t let Zhu Qi answer this time. He spoke, "It’s the Taiching of yesteryears that held a grudge, a blood feud, against the Witch Realm. You both should know that, right?"

Xuan Yingdao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But Wang Zijia said to Zhu Qi, "It’s getting late, you should go stabilize your cultivation!"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhuge Wenxiong and Xuan Yingdao looked at each other, understanding that it was time to leave. They promptly rose to bid their farewells.

...

Only after watching the two leave did Zhu Qi ask in confusion, "Master, it seems you haven’t returned to Taiching yet?"

Wang Zijia nodded, "It’s only been ten years since my innate wisdom awakened. Today marks the first time I’ve come into contact with the high-level base of the Three Factions."

"Master, since you are a Taiching Immortal Seed, why didn’t you just go back to Taiching to quickly restore your cultivation?" Zhu Qi asked in confusion.

Wang Zijia turned his head to look at her before answering, "The Taiching Palace now and the Taiching Palace of ancient times are not one and the same."

Zhu Qi was dumbfounded.

"The Taiching Palace back then was the leader of the Dao, honored among the Hundred Veins. But the Taiching Palace today... inherited only a small part of the clothes and bowls, reborn as just another sect. They are not the same thing."

"And my identity... going to serve as a Celestial Immortal for others? What do you think their reaction would be?"

Wang Zijia paused after speaking.

Take for instance; the Great Han inherited the mantle of the Great Qin and created a new world. Although they were both imperial dynasties, what would happen if a Great Qin ancestor went to the Great Han, intending to serve as their ancestor?

If he was incredibly powerful, a big shot, people would definitely acknowledge him. But a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator trying to become a Celestial Immortal, scraping together resources...

Forget about it!

Of course, if there were any survivors from the Taiching Palace then it would be a different story. If he couldn’t be a Celestial Immortal in the Taiching Palace, he could be the reincarnated patriarch of those who survived. That was still possible.

This was why Wang Zijia had initially sought out acquaintances from the Taiching Palace, and why he didn’t pursue this path when he didn’t see any familiar faces.

Zhu Qi seemed to understand some things, and after a moment of silence, Wang Zijia added:

"Plus... I haven’t been to Central Immortal Domain yet, nor have I had a chance to see the specifics in Taiching Palace."

Wang Zijia didn’t want to dwell on this topic, so he said, "Let’s talk about these issues later. You go and stabilize your cultivation first!"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. This disciple will take his leave now. I will serve you again in a few days!" Zhu Qi bowed and then promptly turned to leave.

...

Wang Zijia was left alone in the courtyard, quietly sipping tea and deep in thought.

After half a day, a group of Zhu family gods who had been waiting outside the door for a long time couldn’t hold back. Over twenty Great Cultivators entered Wang Zijia’s courtyard, only to find that only Wang Zijia remained. They did not see their own ancestor.

"Zhu Qi has gone to stabilize his cultivation. If there is anything, let’s wait until she finishes!"

Wang Zijia looked at the crowd with a calm tone, dismissed them.

A large group of Immortal Gods were still baffled. Even now, they were confused about their ancestor suddenly becoming an Immortal.

Especially Zhu Fazheng and others who knew the specifics, they were the most confused.

They were preparing for the ancestor’s death, so how did he suddenly become an Immortal?

The turn of events was too drastic!

"The disciples understand!"

Despite their doubts, the group of Primordial Spirits respectfully bowed in response to Wang Zijia’s words, and they all withdrew.

After a while, only Zhu Family Head Zhu Fazheng and a few clan elders from the Forbidden Area were left in the courtyard.

"So, is there anything else?" Wang Zijia looked at the few people and asked.

"Junior... your disciples do have many doubts." Zhu Fazheng braced himself, shouldering the pressure and began to speak.

"Didn’t I say that if there is anything, wait for Zhu Qi to finish her cultivation, and you guys deal with it by yourselves. I’m not your ancestor. Why are you coming to me for Zhu family matters?"

Wang Zijia put down his tea cup, frowned, and asked with a light tone.

Despite the lack of change in his demeanor, the few people present felt a huge pressure.

Zhu Fazheng still didn’t retreat immediately. Instead, he persisted through the pressure and said, "The other disciples can wait, but there is one question, I must have the answer even if it cost me my life."

Wang Zijia just looked at Zhu Fazheng quietly, without saying a word.

Zhu Fazheng saw this, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Is the ancestor...still the ancestor?"

After he asked this question, the few elders behind him immediately tensed up.

Wang Zijia was slightly shocked, and then, a smirk flashed in his eyes. "What if I am, and what if I’m not?"

Zhu Fazheng replied, "Whether our ancestor is the same or not, our Zhu Family still has an Immortal Venerate. That won’t change. The disciples just want to understand it clearly, they just want peace of mind. Master would not be unwilling to fulfill this wish, right?"

Wang Zijia glanced at the tense individuals who looked like they were about to explode at any moment. He found it amusing at first, but then he remembered how he used to be so cautious himself, and suddenly lost interest in teasing them.
