Zhang Zhao's Fortuitous Opportunity, Taiyin's Return

Because Earth-Soul Divine Lord's status primarily came from a portion of the earth origin of the Wild Wasteland Heaven and Earth.

That portion of earth origin later scattered outward, becoming the origin of the myriad heavens' void and myriad worlds.

Yet his authority as the Nine Nether Sovereign only encompassed a handful of Netherworld Underworlds.

Its main body still lay in the Netherworld Underworld of the Immortal Court Heavenly Realm.

Though formidable, compared to the status of the lord of land and grain, it was clearly dwarfed.

Zhang Jian could actually merge a portion of the Netherworld authority controlled by the Underworld Moon Emperor into it now.

But after thinking it over, Zhang Jian chose not to do so.

Because the Underworld Moon Emperor's authority came from Empress Houtu.

Zhang Jian had no desire to owe that Empress a favor.

Her favors were not easily repaid.

Besides, that Empress was burdened with great troubles.

Sensing the divine power of his newly born Earth Sovereign Dao Lord status, Zhang Jian did not immediately leave seclusion, but continued cultivating.

Now that the overall situation in the Immortal Court Heavenly Realm had stabilized once more, it was the perfect chance for him to enter seclusion and thoroughly digest his accumulated gains.

At present, the great fortune of saving the world was vast upon him, and he also bore the fortune of the Heavenly Emperor. Aligned with the Heavenly Dao, his cultivation yielded twice the result with half the effort!

Zhang Jian did not deliberately conceal the magnificent signs of his breakthrough.

At a time like this, the more formidable the power he displayed, the fewer troubles he would face.

If he hid and covered things up, it would instead give certain people thoughts they should not have.

People could not endure temptation.
