Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Is....this what it feels like to restore the inner order of Dao?"

Zhang Jing's heart fluttered with excitement.

His consciousness turned to Mud Pill Palace.

He saw the Primordial Dao Foundation shaking, with a subtle ripple of harmony that was portrayed.

Seeing this scene,

A light smile emerged deep in his eyes.

Turning his head,

Lu Thirty-Eight had already fainted.

However, the same aura that was undeniably unique to himself was emanating from this man's body.

"Junior Brother, come out quickly if you're done. I need to take you to meet our master." The playful voice of Senior Brother Feng Wuyu suddenly echoed in his ears.

"I'm coming, Senior Brother,"

Zhang Jing immediately responded.

After a while.

A bronze divine light soared upwards, disappearing in an instant.

The ones disappearing along with it were Zhang Jing and Lu Thirty-Eight from the Metamorphosis Fairy Pool.

...

At the original spot.

Looking at the now empty Metamorphosis Fairy Pool,

A tall man's face showed a terrified expression.

"I never thought the legendary True Teaching would actually descend. It's a good thing he didn't blame me earlier, otherwise..."

"You're overthinking. Even though he's from the Nine Domains lineage, he's still from True Teaching. If he troubles us over such a trivial matter, isn't he afraid of being laughed at by the True Teachings from our Heavenly Realm Lineage?"

The short man said nonchalantly.

"Moreover, we were just following the normal procedures. On what grounds could he possibly blame us?"

"Although you say that..."

The tall man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the short man:

"Speaking of which, that Junior Brother in the purple robe, I just asked about him. Unexpectedly, he directly joined Chi Ming's Grand Brightness Cave Heaven."

"The Nine Domains have stolen another Cave Heaven slot from our Heavenly Realm!"

The short man gritted his teeth and continued, with anger, jealousy, and envy apparent in his voice.

...

On the other side.

As they gradually ascended,

In the highest part of the clear zenith, countless tens of thousands of miles away, ten suns of varying colors; red, bright white, black, all burst into Zhang Jing's view.

Spectacular and boundless! Grand and infinite!

It seemed as if they had been here since the ancient times, emitting a terrifying, ancient, and majestic aura.

"Senior Brother, where are we?"

Within the bronze Dao Domain.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but ask.

"Did you see those suns above?" Feng Wuyu asked with a smile.

Zhang Jing nodded.

"The red sun is our destination this time - the Chi Ming's Grand Brightness Cave Heaven. It is the place where you are going to start your cultivation. Our master is waiting for you there."

"This is the Chi Ming's Grand Brightness Cave Heaven?"

A flash of surprise crossed Zhang Jing's eyes.

"That's right. Our master personally established this Cave Heaven as his Dao practice ground."

Feng Wuyu had a proud tone in his voice.

...

In a seemingly endless void, chaotic air kept surging, causing the void to tremble non-stop.

Right at the center of it all,

A bronze palace stood quietly.

The palace seemed dilapidated and ancient from the outside, filled with traces of being worn by the chaotic void.

It seemed as if it would crumble at any moment.

However, in the next moment.

A number of heavy auras began to radiate from the ancient palace, subduing the surrounding area of countless billions of miles in radius.

The original tumultuous void instantly became as quiet as the abyss.

Within the deserted palace,

A perpetual lamp cast a faint light.

Underneath it,

A man dressed in a grey robe with disheveled hair slowly lifted his head, revealing a face that wasn't quite like an eagle's. Golden feathers shimmered at his temples, emanating a dazzling divine light that intertwined with an eerie unity of Dao and principle.

It was as if the eagle-faced man was surrounded by endless void.

All of a sudden.

A soft laugh resounded through the grand hall.

"Haha, so they have arrived."

...

Time slowly passed.

A beam of azure divine light suddenly appeared in the grand hall.

Afterwards, the divine light dissipated.

Feng Wuyu and Zhang Jing's figures were revealed.

Before Zhang Jing had a chance to steady his feet, he heard Feng Wuyu's forthright voice echo throughout the hall.

"Master, I have successfully brought Junior Brother Zhang Jing as you entrusted."

"You have worked hard."

A gentle voice that seemed to come from an endless distance suddenly sounded.

"Then this disciple will take his leave first."

Feng Wuyu bowed, then turned to leave the grand hall.

A voice suddenly reached into Zhang Jing's mind.

"Junior Brother, I'll wait for you outside."

The door of the hall gently closed.

In an instant.

In Zhang Jing's line of sight.

A figure with a human body and an eagle's face slowly walked towards him from not too far ahead. The void instantly began to ripple with layers of transparency,

As he saw this figure,

Zhang Jing felt as if he was looking at a vast and limitless moving void, fearfully boundless.

"Zhang Jing? Being able to understand the Primitive Genesis with a body of Qi Refinement inside the Minor Void of the Ten Thousand Gods, your aptitude and sensibility are quite good. Hmm, your temperament is also quite good."

"My name is True Monarch Yuanming. Would you be willing to be my registered disciple? If you are unwilling, you can wait until the disciples of the True Spirit List from the Nine Domains ascend to the Upper Realm. Then you can choose together with them a Blessed Land or a Dharma World for cultivation."

True Monarch Yuanming spoke softly, creating a sensation in the void as he did so.

Upon hearing this,

Without the slightest hesitation,

Zhang Jing kneeled directly and said in a deep voice:

"Disciple Zhang Jing greets his teacher!"

As his voice fell,

"Very good!"

"Stand up."

Seeing Zhang Jing on the ground, True Monarch Yuanming's face revealed satisfaction, he spoke softly.

"Thank you, Master."

After receiving the affirmation, Zhang Jing stood up slowly.

His eyes unconsciously landed on his teacher.

Across him.

Seeming to notice the confusion in Zhang Jing's mind, a soft smile passed across True Monarch Yuanming's eagle face as he explained:

"Don't be surprised. This is one of my thirty-six incarnations."

Hearing this,

A realization flashed through Zhang Jing's mind.

Incarcation... it should be something similar to a clone.

"Don't be restrained here with me, sit."

Accompanying the renewed voice of True Monarch Yuanming, Zhang Jing suddenly discovered that a cushion had appeared behind him.

"Thank you, Master."

Gratefully, he spoke and then slowly took a seat.

His gaze directly fell on his newest and youngest disciple.

True Monarch Yuanming took a straightforward approach and said:

"Zhang Jing, I called you here for two reasons. One is for you to officially become my disciple, the other is related to your cultivation of the Primitive Genesis legacy."

"You have learned somewhat about the characteristics of the Primitive Genesis Dharma door, right?"

Zhang Jing nodded, after a moment of thought, he responded:

"To answer master, I do have some understanding of the Primitive Genesis dharma door, though not that much. I only know that the Primitive Genesis seems to be just a seed. Depending on what different principles each person comprehends, there are many subsequent pathways."

"Good."

True Monarch Yuanming's calm gaze met Zhang Jing's.

"Which way do you want to go? Each path of the Primitive Genesis has its cultivation method, once you set foot on it, you cannot easily turn back."

"Please elucidate, Master."

Zhang Jing suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed once more, and respectfully spoke.

Originally, he was blind to it all, he didn't understand how to cultivate the Primitive Genesis or which Dao seeds and Dao Intent to incorporate.

Now it seemed.

His master was well-prepared.
