Chapter 967: Chapter 779: The Forbidden Secrets of the Emperor

The sacrificial refinement continued for over ten days, and as a great number of vengeful spirits were devoured, the Wang Zijia who had been reading suddenly felt something and his form dissipated and vanished.

Merging into one, he fiercely started to form incantations, with the Immortal Yuan circulating.

At the same time, the Ghost Banner split into five, and then rapidly began to spin around Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia too began to float, his aura fluctuating continuously.

Until at a certain moment when the threshold was reached, the aura of the Five Ghosts soared in unison, transforming into five Immortal Children materializing, each possessing the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal.

Name: Big Baby (Art Spirit Becoming Immortal)

Cultivation: Early Stage Heavenly Immortal

Dao cultivation: One hundred thousand years (100 billion/300 billion)

Affiliation: Mutated Ghost Immortal

Immortal Path: Seat Front Immortal Child

······

"Value +1 billion!"

Dao cultivation: Six hundred thousand years (6010 billion/1 trillion)

As the Five Ghosts were upgraded, Wang Zijia’s cultivation also increased slightly. Actually, the increase was not small, but for him, now in the Late Heavenly Immortal Stage, it seemed rather like a drop in the bucket.

Feeling the power of the Five Ghosts, the corners of Wang Zijia’s mouth lifted slightly. Having consumed so much, plus his early advancement to the Heavenly Immortal stage, his Art Spirits needed only to accumulate experience to be sufficient.

Especially as the leaders among the Seat Front Immortal Children, their ranking was actually built upon Wang Zijia’s own ranking.

However, compared with the Five Ghosts, Da Chou fell far behind, only reaching the Tribulation Crossing Peak by now.

Fortunately, time and space travel seemed to hold great benefits for it, as it had once again fallen into slumber.

And the breakthrough of the Five Ghosts brought to Wang Zijia not a change in the upper limit of his combat ability but an expansion of his endurance.

After a long time, Wang Zijia managed to stabilize his aura and noticed some remaining vengeful spirits were left, so he immediately continued to help the Five Ghosts refine them.

······

Time passed slowly in such peaceful cultivation, and Wang Zijia’s familiarity with this era also gradually increased as he continuously absorbed knowledge.

During this process, Wang Zijia’s greatest gain was obtaining a vast number of secrets from the Fourth Epoch.

The abundant information from the Zhang Family’s database was read or recorded by Wang Zijia who fearlessly absorbed it all.

One could say that he now had a rough understanding of the current Fourth Epoch.

"Patriarch, you have finished the routine information from the Family Treasure Library. These are the storybooks collected as per your orders, some of which are circulated among disciples!"

One day at Noon, as Wang Zijia’s disciples routinely delivered materials to him, a True Immortal disciple serving him, Zhang Xiulan, placed a pile of storybooks circulated among disciples on Wang Zijia’s desk.

For some reason, her expression was somewhat awkward.

Wang Zijia paused in his movements, looked up at the stack of storybooks in front of him, "I understand."

"Then your grandson will leave now. If you have any commands, Patriarch, just signal and I will come!"

"Mhm!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiulan left in a hurry.

Wang Zijia inexplicably gave her a glance, then turned his attention back to the storybooks.

He picked up a few and upon examination, well, there sure were a variety of types, all sorts of them present.

Romance novels, biographies, travelogues, even daily life and management ones!

For example, "Memoirs of the Great Hall": this narrates the growth history of the Zhang Family’s first legitimate son, Zhang Nianlun; it turns out to be a political intrigue novel.

It mainly describes the Third Epoch when Zhang Bairren commanded the Multi-Heavens from the front lines, and the young crown prince Zhang Nianlun, with his innate wisdom and nearly demonic cleverness, recognized talents, supported geniuses, and balanced all sides in the background to become a pillar of support for Zhang Bairren’s power.

Well, Wang Zijia could roughly tell from this storybook that this person too was likely a transmigrator, probably from Ancient times in a previous life, with a non-combat political Golden Finger.

"Taoist School Three Factions": This too tells the story of three legitimate sons of the Zhang Family.

In the story, they rose from humble beginnings, soared rapidly through the Dao cultivation, and ultimately established the Three Factions of Taiching, Yuqing, and Shangqing.

Eventually, the three powers united the entire Taoist School, establishing Zhang Bairren’s regal status in an age of flourishing diversity.

Then they began the absorption and integration of various Dao Consistencies, leading to the current structure where the Daoist Court governs the heavens.

The Daoist Court Eight Sects now all belong to the Three Factions. And those Dao Consistencies that once blossomed in the Third Epoch have either integrated into these Three Factions, becoming a branch, or have been destroyed.

······

All in all, a wide variety!

Wang Zijia found these storybooks quite interesting to read. Due to information about the Third Epoch being severed once, the orthodox records seemed somewhat false, as some things had been revised over time.

Just like the history of a previous life, it’s a classic case of "different strokes for different folks"!

While those things that circulated among disciples, although many are based on hearsay and have twisted through public transmission before being written down.

On closer inspection, they can reveal a glimmer of truth.

Aside from the biographical ones, the majority was of a more scandalous nature.

"The Great Hall Prince Fell In Love with Me," "The Unspoken Story between Me and the Third Hall Prince"...

Even more outrageous, some were even racy sketch albums from talented artists!!!

Wang Zijia’s mouth twitched as he saw them!

He couldn’t guess what was going through Zhang Xiulan’s mind when she brought these to him.

Or was it that he asked for too much and the child could not find anything else?

······

However, these materials also proved that, despite the varied paths, all lead to the same destination; whether it’s technology or Immortal Spirit, there are similarities in the end!

Popular things are always popular!

Of course, Wang Zijia just glanced at these materials with a critical eye, without paying particular attention to them!
