The Heavenly Emperor's Gaze

Eastern Immortal Domain, Azure Yi City, Maple Bridge Town, Zhang clan's old residence.

Zhang Nan led many Zhang clan elders and disciples in welcoming them at the gate.

After more than a hundred thousand years had passed, Zhang Nan, as the clan head of the Zhang clan in the Central Heavenly Realm, had already stepped into the Taiyi realm.

For him, this was already extraordinarily swift progress.

He was quite satisfied with such a realm.

At his side were several Heavenly Immortal elders who had entered Maple Bridge Town alongside him over a hundred thousand years ago, including Taiyin Fairy, as well as some ancestor lords among the Mount Zhou Realm's feudal nobles.

They were all Zhang Jian's old subordinates from back then.

Now that Zhang Jian had arrived, the immortals of the Mount Zhou Realm all looked at him with reverence in their eyes.

"Dao Lord!"

Upon seeing Zhang Jian, the immortals all saluted. They wished to speak, but Zhang Jian raised a hand and helped them up.

"You may all be considered old retainers of the Zhang clan. You have followed me since the lower realm, so there is no need for such excessive ceremony!"

Zhang Jian wore a smile.

He noticed that quite a few among these old retainers were still missing.

Although the Central Heavenly Realm was where the Heavenly Court stood, it was not without conflict.

Especially as the Zhang clan expanded, it was inevitable that they would encroach upon the interests of some immortals and suffer losses.

After helping the immortals and gods to their feet, Zhang Jian swept his gaze over them, offered a few words of comfort, then entered the old residence surrounded by Zhang Nan and the others.

They still followed the old rules, first offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth.
