Chapter 921: Chapter 761: Shen Hong’s Secondary Immortal Palace: Charm Spirit Palace [Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Such an image made many disciples who had never seen Wang Zijia up close, their pupils slightly dazed.

"Disciples are honored to welcome the Alliance Leader, honored to welcome the Immortal Venerates back to the Sect!"

As tens of thousands of God Monarchs greeted them, the salutations rapidly spread outwards.

"Welcome the Alliance Leader, welcome back the Immortal Venerates to the Sect!"

At this moment, it seemed as if countless disciples within and outside the Seventeen Peaks, excitedly greeted and honored them, their voices resonating up to the Nine Heavens.

Wang Zijia merely glanced over them, nodded slightly, and, along with everyone else, flashed into the Wanyu Great Hall!

A group of God Monarch disciples immediately followed suit.

··········

Within the Wanyu Great Hall, a dozen cloud-patterned jade thrones were suspended, each giant figure of an Immortal Venerate with a Dao Wheel above their heads, seated high as the legends describe, overseeing the Great Hall from above.

In the vast expanse of the great hall, tens of thousands of disciples stood, still seeming very small and the hall starkly empty.

Wang Zijia sat in the central lead position, scanned the crowd and then said, "Let’s first talk about what’s happened within the alliance over the past year."

The crowd hushed. From within the Qinglian Lineage, Zong Bixue, the Cultivator of Abominations, and Jiang Siyi, the Illusion Realm Patriarch, stepped forward together; they exchanged glances and Zong Bixue was the first to give his report:

"In the year you and the Immortal Venerates left to dispatch sinners, we’ve opened up the Martial Dao Pavilion to all, distributing top-notch martial arts for free to encourage innovation, and have continuously perfected the details."

"Additionally, we’ve established a detailed promotion mechanism; now the Martial Dao Pavilion has a complete system that ranges from mortals to martial artists and then to monks..."

Zong Bixue tried to keep it as brief as possible as he reported on the matters.

After a moment, Zong Bixue finished, and Jiang Siyi continued, "The Immortal Realm Bank has also been spread out, with money houses built throughout the Dragon Vein coverage area."

"Since the contribution and the new currency are linked to some extent, it has gradually become popular. However, there are still limitations because we haven’t yet achieved full Spirit Suppressing Realm coverage with Array Illusion networks."

Wang Zijia’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, and he suddenly asked, "Is the Artifact Academy there?"

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, your disciples are here!" The Dean of the Artifact Academy immediately stepped forward, respectfully responding.

Wang Zijia nodded and said, "You collaborate with the Talisman Court and the Formation Institute to design an Identity Order Symbol; integrate all the various order symbol requirements and functionalities of the Sect into it."

"It must include identity systems, task systems, authority systems, Scripture Pavilion’s material system, as well as the new contribution system, the merit-based granting talisman system, and bank systems, etc. Research and create a Second-grade magic weapon."

"As for how these things can be linked to the Illusion networks and interconnected with each other, you need not worry about it. I will create an Illusion Realm to satisfy whole-domain connectivity."

"Your disciples obey your command!" The Deans immediately replied, although their expressions were somewhat anxious.

Wang Zijia casually waved a hand, tossing them an order symbol, "Once you’ve designed the item, go to this place to craft it, and then you will know what to do."

The Dean of the Artifact Academy received the entry order to the Duobao World, curious.

Wang Zijia paid them no further attention and instead addressed, "Jiang Siyi."

"Your disciple is here!" Jiang Siyi, the Illusion Realm Patriarch, immediately stepped forth from the crowd, responding.

"You should also participate in the discussions. You are more familiar with network matters and have seen a lot of my personal Illusion Spirit conjectures left in Qinglian," instructed Wang Zijia.

"Understood, your disciple understands!" replied Jiang Siyi, the Illusion Spirit Patriarch.

"As for the name, let’s call it the Immortal Spirit Dao Disc. In the future, every disciple of the Charm Spirit Immortal Palace will need one. It represents both identity and power, and we aim to reach the status of ancient Dao Talismans!" summarized Wang Zijia.

"The Alliance Leader’s laws are magnificent!" everyone responded in unison.

Wang Zijia nodded, considering the matter settled.

Indeed, Wang Zijia planned to upgrade the Spirit Suppressing Realm from a local network era into an era of personalized Artificial Intelligence; an era where everyone possesses an intelligence companion.

·········

Subsequently, with Ice Frost leading, supported by the Deans of the various institutions, Wang Zijia quickly went over the year’s developments within the alliance.

Half a day later, the disciples left one after another, and the Great Hall was only left with a few core Tribulation-crossers and the Immortal Venerates.

Wang Zijia turned to Ice Frost and asked, "Has Taiching Palace sent anyone?"

"Yes, my lord," Ice Frost replied, "on the twenty-third day after you departed, Taiching Palace sent a delegation. I tried to contact you, my lord, and because the Emperor of Words said you were momentarily unreachable with an indeterminate return time, I met with them."

The Emperor of Words, the honorific title given to Li Shenghui upon becoming Immortal!

Ice Frost continued, presenting an order symbol and a scroll resembling an imperial edict.

"The leading person from Taiching Palace was a peak Celestial Immortal. Aware of the circumstances, they did not make things difficult for me, but they also did not stay long in the Sect, simply announcing our Spirit Suppressing affiliation with the direct Taiching lineage, completing the protocol, and handing over these items to a disciple before leaving."

"This Spiritual Order is for you, my lord, conferring the authority of one palace."

"This scroll possesses a decree-like nature, it’s said to be originally associated with cultivating a Ninth-Grade Spirit Vein, letting us foster such a vein. But after knowing that we are nurturing a Dragon Vein and gathering a realm’s fortune, the Gurus of Taiching Palace tailored it especially."

"This decree can spiritualize the Dragon Vein, suppress fate, cultivate a fortune-bearing dragon, and should a prodigy take charge, at the very least, it could allow the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal who walks the path of the Dragon Vein’s spiritual way."

While speaking, Ice Frost handed over the scroll and the order symbol to Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia only gave it a casual glance. If it had been the Wanyu of the past, this imperial edict would have been considered a huge treasure, a top grade divine object capable of establishing the foundation of the Wanyu Immortal Sect and suppressing its destiny.

Now, well... it was just so-so. Whether it was the Star Constellation Great Formation or the Immortal Treasure he had created, all possessed these effects.

However, holding this scroll could lead one onto the path of destiny-related spirit Daos and ultimately achieve the status of Celestial Immortal. This approach was somewhat similar to the Dao Court’s practice of granting the talisman and appointing gods or perhaps it was the core itself.

It was considered to have some research value.

So Wang Zijia accepted the item, flipped through it, and curiously examined it.

Ice Frost continued, "The envoy from the Taiching Palace’s Immortal Venerate asked me to inform you, Master, that once you are free upon your return to the Sect, please go to the Taiching Palace immediately to confirm whether you’ll start a palace of your own or directly become a branch of the Fire Spirit Palace."

"Apart from that, there are quite a few procedures that will require your personal attendance. After all, Taiching Palace is a top-tier power within Shen Hong, and some procedures are necessary."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia put away the item and nodded, indicating that he understood.

He then asked a few more questions and roughly handled the matters at hand.

"That will be all for today!" With these words, Wang Zijia looked around at the assembled Immortal Venerates and said. "The Immortal Alliance is newly established, and there are many things to be done. Moreover, it won’t be long before our Spirit Suppressing Realm reconnects with the Central Immortal Domain and resumes communication and trade."

"Thus, I ask you all to pay more attention to your respective affairs and not to go into closed-door cultivation for a short period. This concerns the dignity of our South Spirit. After all, if our Sect appears too shabby, you won’t be able to hold your heads high upon entering the Taiching Palace, right?"

"We obey the Alliance Leader’s decree! We will certainly support our disciples with all our might and strive to breathe new life into our Sect!" The assembled Immortal Venerates assured in unison.

Wang Zijia nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered another very important matter and asked Ice Frost, "What’s the current situation with the worlds under our flag?"

Ice Frost paused for a moment, then said. "About half a year ago, once the situation in the Spirit Suppressing Realm had roughly stabilized, I began sending people to the Lower Realm to establish the Lower Realm Martial Dao Pavilion and the Immortal Alliance Palace. "

"Additionally, since we have incorporated all our Mini Worlds into the Star Dragon Vein Formation, most towns are now under its protection. Although the situation isn’t as good as in the Spirit Suppressing Realm, it has stabilized and isn’t as disastrous as the apocalyptic heavenly disasters anymore."

Wang Zijia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tell the disciples in the Artifact Academy to quickly create the Identity tokens and rapidly produce a batch of Taoist Discs. Have someone take them to the Lower Realm to seek out exceptional talents, to spread chances of Immortal destiny, and aid them in ascending to the Immortal Palace."

Since ancient times, self-help has always been the best method.

"I understand what to do, Master!" Ice Frost replied respectfully.

Wang Zijia nodded and, without saying more, vanished on the spot.

Seeing this, the other Immortal Venerates also took their leave with respectful gestures and went to handle their respective duties.

·········

"You’re back!" At the White Peach Peak, in the White Peach Courtyard, which was as welcoming as a wife watching for her husband’s return, Xiang Feifei, seeing Wang Zijia float down, joyfully exclaimed.

Wang Zijia, with a gentle smile, nodded and then paused to size up Xiang Feifei. "Have you crossed the tribulation and become an Infant God?"

Xiang Feifei, holding Wang Zijia, lightly nodded her head.

Xiang Feifei had, astonishingly, already become a God Monarch of the Infant God level, even reaching the late phase of Infant God.

This was actually rather slow. Considering her Sea of Consciousness housed a flesh and blood avatar of Wang Zijia that was constantly monitoring her for any abnormalities.

It wasn’t like the kind of truncated version that could only be partially purified by praying during the new and full moons based on a certain contribution.

In such circumstances, Xiang Feifei could consume large quantities of medicinal pills.

With her current status, resources were naturally not a concern; Wang Zijia had paved the road ahead for her. Considering all these factors, taking these many years to become an Infant God was indeed not very fast.

"In that case... let’s try the effects of both of us cultivating together!" Wang Zijia suddenly said with a mischievous smile.

Xiang Feifei’s face immediately flushed red, but having never (harmoniously) united with Wang Zijia, she was also filled with anticipation.

And so, surprisingly, she nodded in agreement, saying, "Mhm!"

’This girl is slowly becoming more charming, even learning to seduce!’

"Haha!" Wang Zijia laughed heartily as he carried her into the house, the spring atmosphere full of life.

Within the White Peach Courtyard, Divine Light flickered as the array resumed operation in broad daylight.

The seven giant peach trees growing around the White Peach Garden swayed gently.

They now bore giant green longevity peaches that slightly swayed with the movement of the branches.

·········

Half a day later, at the White Peach Peak Underground Base.

Terracotta puppets stained with filth were patrolling incessantly as eerie tree roots blanketed the sky. Blood-red crystal walls, illuminated by Spiritual Light, bathed the entire underground space in a bloody hue.

Perhaps influenced by Wang Zijia’s ascension to immortality, the space was tinged with a bit of the ethereal immortality amidst the bizarre, a truly miraculous sight.

Wang Zijia headed to the Warehouse area which had undergone significant changes.

The entire area was now covered in dense runes, and the cold storage-like rooms and shelves had been done away with, replaced by uniformly designed pools.

Both in and around the pools, there were dense Bloody Runes.
