Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

Treasury of All Gods.

Zhang Jing was seated on a meditation cushion, his gaze serene.

At this moment.

The Taoism Intent was enormously rich around him, even faintly condensed into a fierce-looking Sea Dragon roaming the Void of Taiyin, its strong and elongated body winding up storms and letting out terrifying roars that echo in the Void.

Violence! Ferocity! Transformation! Solitude!

All sorts of implications swirled in his gaze.

The Jade Talisman slowly emerged.

[Taiyin Sea Dragon's Taoism Intent (834/1000)]

This was the fourth day of Zhang Jing's full-force comprehension of Taiyin Sea Dragon's Tao Intent.

And also...

"The last day is coming!"

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

As the comprehension of the Taiyin Sea Dragon's Tao Intent deepened, various wonderful aspects began to gradually show up, and the strength enhancements reflected in Zhang Jing were becoming increasingly terrifying.

If the original power of the Five Treasures Ling River was one.

Then, under the boost of nearly forty percent of the Tao Intent, the power displayed had reached about sixty.

But now.

It has shockingly become one hundred and fifty!

And yet this was only a little over eighty percent of his Tao Intent.

"What kind of scenery will it be when the Tao Intent is complete?"

A flash crossed Zhang Jing's eyes.

He immediately chanted inwardly: Comprehend the Tao Intent!

Meanwhile.

A colorful light filled with illusions slowly emerged above Zhang Jing's head, and amidst the interweaving of the five colors, an overwhelming sense of divine inspiration filled his mind.

In front of him.

The sight of the Taiyin Sea Dragon winding around the Taiyin Void suddenly appeared.

This scene, which was now reflected in Zhang Jing's eyes, began to gradually dissolve, transforming into various different Taoism Rhymes and principles.

Mountains are not mountains, and waters are not waters.

It seemed as though he had seen the true essence hidden beneath the scroll of paint.

Time trickled by slowly.

Accompanied by the depletion of his Mind and Spiritual Sense.

Zhang Jing's complexion gradually turned pale, but the light in his eyes flickered even more brightly, as if they were about to shine through him at any moment.

No one knew how much time had passed.

Good fortune finally came.

Zhang Jing suddenly opened his eyes.

Like he had broken through a crucial point!

[Taiyin Sea Dragon's Taoism Intent (Complete)]

The Tao Intent that was entwined around him froze for a moment, and then it started to escalate dramatically, transforming into a complete Taiyin Sea Dragon that went straight into his body.

At this moment.

Although Zhang Jing still looked human.

But the aura around him, and the faintly discernible implications, all blatantly told others that he was clearly a young Sea Dragon.

Just waiting to grow up and then he would be able to create chaos!

The cold and murderous intent from the very depth of the Taiyin Sea Dragon's blood, not to mention its instinct to kill, had all quietly integrated into Zhang Jing's heart.

Zhang Jing even vaguely felt.

Stirring up storms, inhaling clouds and exhaling mist… and other innate Spell bestowed by the Sea Dragon, had already started to nurture, and he could cast it whenever he wanted.

It's just that the power of the Spell was not as terrifyingly powerful as the legend due to being restricted by his Cultivation.

Moreover--

He made a mental note.

Right then.

In the space of comprehending Tao Intent.

The Void rippled as if a window had been opened suddenly, and the extremely strong Power of Taiyin gushed out crazily, instantly solidifying into a long river.

A feeling of solitude and coldness slowly spread.

So terrifying?

Zhang Jing's expression suddenly changed.

Once the Tao Intent was complete, he felt as if he could beckon the Taiyin with a single thought.

So, he tried it unconsciously.

After all, it was his first time achieving complete Tao Intent, so he had no experience.

How could Zhang Jing have expected the effects to be so radical?

Before, he only managed to draw out a little of the Power of Taiyin, but now, he directly called forth the Taiyin River— who could bear such a thing?

"Taiyin Sea Dragon! Taiyin Sea Dragon!"

Zhang Jing mentally repeated it over and over again in his heart.

He now understands why this Sea Dragon could be named after Taiyin.

Coming back to his senses.

Zhang Jing barely managed to control the massive inflow of the Power of Taiyin, then retraced his steps, pushing it back bit by bit.

This process...

One could say invoking the divine is easier than sending it away.

.....

At this moment.

On top of the eighth level of the heavenly staircase.

The magic light illuminates the sky, with violent magical fluctuations that can be distinctly felt even dozens of miles away.

A gourd glittering with red spiritual light is floating in the air.

The gourd constantly spews out molten-like dark red flames, appearing almost incessant.

These flames instantly ignite upon contact and are difficult to extinguish.

Gathering into a scorching torrent, the flames quickly flooded the eighth level of the heavenly staircase, slowly trickling downwards.

However.

The guardian Spirit God with three heads and four arms was not at all fearful.

He moved forward with an iron rod, pushing through the thick flames, piercing through various spells, shooting like lightning towards the challenger in the distance.

The scene was incredibly intense!

On the opposite side.

Huang Jingtong let out a sigh, as a touch of unwillingness crossed his face.

In the air not far away.

Five people were watching the battle taking place on the heavenly staircase intensely without blinking.

"Ah~ It seems like Senior Brother Huang is going to fail again!" said a tall figure clad in a black robe slowly.

His voice was filled with a hint of regret, and even a sense of despair.

"How many times has it been?" another man asked.

"Seems like... it's the third time."

While they were talking.

The movement on the heavenly staircase gradually subsided, and the three-headed four-armed Spirit God returned to his position, transforming into a pitch-black shadow.

"Sorry to let you all see such a sight."

Huang Jingtong arrived looking disheveled, speaking somewhat embarrassingly.

"Senior Brother Huang, you're too modest. If you consider your display today as an 'embarrassment', then we wouldn't even dare to show our faces." responded a man with a bitter smile.

"Indeed, with Senior Brother's abilities, there are still three months left. You might be able to comprehend Tao Intent and transform your Tao Foundation."

The tall man in a black robe who had spoken first comforted him.

"Thanks for your kind words, Junior Brother. We all have three months left, there's still hope for all of us!"

Huang Jingtong responded with a smile.

However, he was just paying lip service.

In his heart, he held no confidence at all.

After all, all of them present in the ninth realm of Void, were just a half-step away from comprehending Tao Intent, right?

But this half-step seemed as difficult to cross as a chasm.

Thinking about this.

He couldn't help but think of Zhang Jing.

His talent for comprehension was truly enviable.

Before even entering the Tao Foundation, he had already comprehended Tao Intent, and the degree of his comprehension was undoubtedly terrifying, otherwise, he wouldn't have made it to the ninth Void without the aid of the Tao Foundation!

While he was pondering.

"Huh, isn't that Junior Brother Zhang Jing? He's here to challenge the heavenly staircase too?"

An astonished voice sounded, instantly catching Huang Jingtong's attention.

He quickly turned his gaze to the heavenly staircase.

In his sight.

A dark rainbow light broke through the thick clouds, landing directly onto the fourth level of the heavenly staircase.

"Junior Brother Zhang Jing is here!"

A hint of intrigue showed on Huang Jingtong's face.

This Junior Brother had only been in the ninth Void for half a month.

He had never seen him in action before.

This would be the perfect opportunity to observe Junior Brother Zhang Jing's capabilities, especially his Tao Intent, perhaps it could provide him with some inspiration.

At the same time, he could also find out.

What this prodigious Junior Brother was capable of achieving.
