A Dao Lord's Grand Direction

Nine Heavens Mountain quickly took on the rudimentary form of a cultivation ground.

Zhang Jian had planned Haojing City and Two-Dragon Mountain in the mortal world, and had built countless immortal cities.

After arriving in the Immortal Realm, he had also rebuilt the Nine Nether Emperor's Estate and the old residence in Maple Bridge Town. Arranging the restrictive formations of a cultivation ground was a task he knew like the back of his hand.

The core of Nine Heavens Mountain lay between that emerald jade bamboo grove and the jade sea. Zhang Jian named it the Lesser Spirit Realm. Within it, he discovered a small grove of jade orange trees—a highly unusual fire-attributed heaven-and-earth spirit root. Zhang Jian personally cleared them out from among the ancient trees and wild forests, then cultivated them into a separate grove.

Zhang Jian secluded himself here.

Refining the Four Symbols Divine Needles was also an excellent opportunity for Zhang Jian to comprehend the origins of the innate Four Symbols.

After attaining Dao Lordhood, his next task was to fully harmonize his Dao Lord Dao Fruit.

Zhang Jian had two directions for cultivation.

The first was to continue along the path of the Earth Sovereign Dao Fruit, steadily perfecting the Earth Sovereign path.

The second was to begin with the foundation of the eternal Dao Fruit that was the Earth Sovereign Dao Fruit, separate out its three most fundamental ancestral qi Dao Fruits—Nine Nether, State, and Earth—and transform them into Dao Lord Dao Fruits.

Once the three were separated and then reunited, he would naturally be able to harmonize the Earth Sovereign laws.

This involved two broad directions of cultivation.

Zhang Jian did not yet have a complete plan, for he still lacked a detailed understanding of the cultivation path at the Dao Lord realm.
