Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

In the cultivation room.

Zhang Jing still maintained his seated meditation position, his aura suddenly became calm.

All his attention was completely focused within the Mud Pill Palace.

Under Zhang Jing's control,

his Divine Sense directly shrank into a corner of the Mud Pill Palace, its fluctuations rapidly subsiding, as if frozen in place.

At this moment,

the construction of the Dao Foundation had already come to its last stage.

In the middle of the Mud Pill Palace,

A Dao pattern that was formed from a strand of Primitive True Intent began to rapidly shrink, eventually forming chaotic mess, emanating the terrifying Dao and principles of the evolution of the world and the initiation of all Dao.

Yet, in just a blink of an eye,

Boom——

Endless divine light suddenly burst out in every direction.

At this instant,

Zhang Jing lost all perception.

...

Meanwhile,

The spiritual energy throughout the entire Immortal Island had abruptly halted.

A wave of great terror began to spread throughout the entire Immortal Island.

Lu Thirty-Eight, who was practicing cultivation as fiercely as possible, suddenly collapsed onto the ground, as if a massive mountain was pressing down on his body.

He struggled to move his head, looking toward the jade-blue small tower where Zhang Jing resided.

A sense of unspeakable fear shone within his large eyes.

He shouted in his mind:

"Master, save me! I'm being crushed to death!"

...

After an indeterminate amount of time had passed,

Zhang Jing slowly opened his eyes, a trace of thick Primitive True Intent flickering within his gaze.

"Foundation Establishment Realm! The Primordial Dao Foundation!"

A sense of joy naturally arose from the bottom of his heart.

It was a celebration emanating from his life instinct, a cheer from every organ and tissue of his body, following the complete transformation of his life essence.

In the midst of this,

Zhang Jing sensed the current limit of his lifespan.

"The Foundation Establishment Realm has a lifespan of nine hundred years? No, it seems like the achievement of the Primordial Dao Foundation also played a role. The real lifespan of the Foundation Establishment Realm should be... three hundred years!"

After careful consideration,

An expression of surprise suddenly flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

This is the effect of the Immortal Base?

The difference between the regular Dao Foundation and the former is simply too great.

However, this is only an obvious difference in lifespan.

As for other aspects, they are also vastly different, even much scarier than the difference in lifespan!

A thought flashed through Zhang Jing's mind.

The sight within the Mud Pill Palace immediately appeared before his eyes.

A round gem, glimmering with a faint purple radiance, existed on the border between existence and non-existence, subtly revealing a mysterious aura of the beginning of the universe and the birth of all Dao.

This was the outer appearance of the Primordial Dao Foundation.

It looked very much like the gem he had comprehended in the Million God Small Void when he was perceiving the Primitive Genesis.

The Dao Foundation floated within the Mud Pill Palace, yet subtly linked to the world outside, linked to the endless amount of nature's spiritual energy and various principles.

His consciousness disengaged from the Mud Pill Palace.

In the next moment,

As if it were instinctual,

Zhang Jing's mind slowly merged with the Primordial Dao Foundation.

In an instant,

Everything within hundreds of miles seemed to be reflected in his mind.

Zhang Jing even felt that,

Without the need for any spell, he could manipulate the spiritual energy within a few hundred miles with just a thought.

Whether it was to alter rivers, or move mountains, it was as easy as turning his hand over.

Error Moreover,

Zhang Jing returned his attention to the Cultivation room.

His finger pointed forward lightly.

A spell suddenly appeared, quietly enveloped by Primitive True Intent.

The next moment, under Zhang Jing's control, the spell began to evolve madly, changing properties or changing spell forms, almost completely draining the surrounding dense spiritual energy.

Just in an instant,

The fluctuation emitted by the spell was dozens of times stronger than before, and it was still rapidly growing.

In a 'pop' sound!

The spell in his hands was instantaneously snuffed out by Zhang Jing!

Inside his Dantian.

The mana underwent another transformation, shifting from its previous deep, dark state to a nearly chaotic color now, emitting an even more terrifying aura.

"So this is the Primordial Dao Foundation!"

A hint of awe flashed across Zhang Jing's eyes.

However, having accepted the legacy of the Primitive Genesis, he understood.

Although the current Primordial Dao Foundation appears extraordinarily powerful, it merely holds the most basic power.

The truly abnormal aspect of the Primordial Dao Foundation is that the primordial principles it encapsulates can accommodate various Dao Intents, bringing them together or transforming them to create one's own unique way, unleashing an extremely terrifying power.

It will also form various potent innate divine skills when ascending to the Golden Core Divine Skills Realm.

These divine skills will then determine what Dao Domains will be evolved in the future, or even what type of... Primitive Genesis.

In other words.

A Primordial Dao Foundation that integrates multiple Dao Intents can genuinely exhibit the elegance of an Immortal Base.

But at this moment... it's merely an empty seed.

Thinking of this.

Zhang Jing involuntarily 'looked' at the Taoyin Sea Dragon Dao Intent curled up in the corner of his Mud Pill Palace.

It seemed... this could be the thing to place within the Primordial Dao Foundation.

However, after a moment's hesitation.

Zhang Jing resolutely shook his head.

His current cultivation isn't high, and his understanding of the Primitive Genesis is not profound.

The key point is, there is no pre-determined method for this legacy, and to fill it with Dao Intent now might be somewhat premature.

If not careful, his efforts could backfire.

"It's better to wait until I enter the Upper Realm. There are surely many records about the cultivation of the Primitive Genesis there, as well as various mature Dao Intent combinations and legacies. After consulting those, I'll make my decision. Besides, even if it's an empty Primordial Dao Foundation, its power is already strong enough."

Zhang Jing firmly stated.

As he was pondering.

He didn't know whether it was an illusion or not.

While trying to connect to heaven and earth with the Primordial Dao Foundation.

Zhang Jing vaguely sensed a discordance, as if this part of heaven and earth were missing something.

And it was not a common lack, but rather... there seemed to be gaps everywhere.

However... how could this be possible?

Zhang Jing found it hard to believe and began to sense it carefully.

Soon after.

He couldn't help but frown.

It was not an illusion earlier, there certainly is a problem with this part of heaven and earth!

Furthermore, Zhang Jing can affirm one thing.

Due to the special nature of the Primordial Dao Foundation, advancing his cultivation under these circumstances is absolutely not a good thing.

And since the Upper Realm releases this legacy, it implies that there isn't a problem with the heaven and earth of the Upper Realm.

"Troublesome! Troublesome! In other words, if I want to improve my cultivation now, I'll have to go to the Upper Realm! I don't know how much time has passed. I hope I can still catch the opening of the Upper Realm."

Zhang Jing frowned.

Otherwise, it would mean a waste of one hundred and eighty years.

Even though he has a long life span, it isn't meant to be wasted.

...

The purple twilight gradually disappeared.

A bright light abruptly flew out from within the Immortal Island and stopped right in front of the Academy Principal.

The light dissipated, revealing Zhang Jing's figure.

"Zhang Jing pays respects to the Academy Principal, and all Pavilion Masters" Zhang Jing's face held a faint smile.

"Ha ha, worthy of an Immortal Base!"

The Academy Principal sensed the aura around Zhang Jing, his face flashed with shock and then spoke in admiration.

This aura is close to the weakest Heavenly Craft Pavilion Master.

Although the latter is only a partially evolved Golden Core Realm.

But no matter what, he is a Golden Core!

An early-stage Foundation Establishment practitioner is almost catching up to him.

And on the other side.

"Academy Principal... Do you know that I've just established a Purple Immortal Base?" Zhang Jing asked, surprised.

"Of course I know, the Upper Realm told me."

The Academy Principal looked at Zhang Jing with a smile.

"The Upper Realm?"

Hearing this, the doubts on Zhang Jing's face deepened.

"Alright, let's not beat around the bush anymore. Zhang Jing, I formally notify you that a True Immortal from the Upper Realm will descend to the Dragon Lake Dao Institute in three months to guide you to the Upper Realm for cultivation."

The Academy Principal sent his message via divine sense.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Jing to respond, he continued:

"However, before heading to the Upper Realm, could you... do us a favor, Zhang Jing?"

"A favor?"

"Yes, to take the True Spirit List challenge in the name of being a disciple of the Dragon Lake Dao Institute!"

The Academy Principal looked at Zhang Jing with anticipation.
