Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

Zhang Jing's gaze focused slightly.

His eyes swept over the thirty-four stars shimmering with different glows in front of him.

He had already mastered the complete Tao Intent of the Taoyin Sea Dragon and Sun attributes.

And the remaining thirty-four types of Tao Intent he needed to comprehend were all right before his eyes.

He found it hard to choose.

After deliberating for a while.

Zhang Jing decisively closed his eyes, withdrew his Divine Sense, and left it all up to intuition.

He didn't care.

No matter how he chose, he had to comprehend all of these Tao Intents anyway, it's only just a matter of which comes first and which comes later.

With a wave of his hand.

The multitude of stars gradually dispersed, leaving only four behind.

...

A good while later.

A slight sigh sounded.

"Ah~ Tao Intent of the Burning Quiet Vermilion Bird, True Water Black Whale Tao Intent, Thousand Mountains Behemoth Tao Intent, and Indra's Serpent Tao Intent... It seems that I unconsciously chose these Tao Intents?"

Zhang Jing felt a little complicated.

He still couldn't forget the twenty-four divine skills just now.

Rightly so.

In Zhang Jing's heart.

He always believed that the twenty-four divine skills were far more suitable than the Immortal Scripture of the Dream Heart Realm, whether it was for blending thirty-six Tao Intents, or for compatibility with the derivative world of Primitive Genesis.

It's just... he was poor!

Huff——

Zhang Jing exhaled lightly, then immediately forced himself to stop thinking about those extravagantly priced twenty-four divine skills.

"Once I advance to the Golden Core Realm in the future, I can still redeem them!"

Zhang Jing continuously reassured himself internally.

...

Three days later.

At noon.

Inside the rudimentary palace in the center of the Immortal Island.

Zhang Jing, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, suddenly showed a hint of excitement on his face.

His gaze, however, was fixed intently on a gold bamboo slip in his hand.

It was the VIP Gold Bamboo given by Yan Chihong of the Wanbao Immortal Sect.

At this moment.

All kinds of auction information, countless in number, flashed across the Gold Bamboo.

Upon closer inspection, all these auction details were about River of Time Golden Sand.

And in the middle of the Gold Bamboo.

A piece of auction information that Zhang Jing had specially magnified was displayed:

River of Time Golden Sand (100 grains).

Notes: ...

Current bidding price: 9,200 luck movement.

The auction has ended.

Would you like to pay the luck movement and retrieve the auction item?

...

"Yes!"

Zhang Jing connected his Divine Sense to the Gold Bamboo in his hand, chose to pay 9,200 luck movement, and claimed his 100 grains of River of Time Golden Sand.

Successfully buying these sand grains at a price of 92 luck movement each was one of his many achievements over the last three days.

To save even a bit of luck movement, he spent three days.

It's not that Zhang Jing was stingy.

Of course, that was one reason.

However, the main issue was something else.

That is... Zhang Jing could now comprehend a type of Tao Intent to completion in at most half a year, but the luck movement he could acquire in a year was barely enough to exchange for a type of Tao Intent.

In other words.

The current speed of purchasing Tao Intent could not keep up with Zhang Jing's speed of comprehending Tao Intent.

It sounded unrealistic.

But that was the reality.

Therefore, for the current Zhang Jing, wasting two or three days to save some luck movement was extremely worthwhile.

...

Meanwhile.

After receiving the confirmation.

The Gold Bamboo showed Zhang Jing's remaining luck movement and directly deducted 9,200 from it.

The next instant.

Threads of golden light emerged from the Gold Bamboo, forming a vortex, as if opening up some channel.

The grains of River of Time Golden Sand faintly appeared within, flying out.

However, as they neared the exit.

These grains of River of Time Golden Sand seemed to suddenly hit an invisible barrier and could not move forward any further.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene.

Zhang Jing had a flash of confusion in his eyes.

Almost immediately, as if he had guessed something, he involuntarily looked up, a plea in his eyes.

The invisible barrier abruptly disappeared.

The hundred grains of River of Time Golden Sand passed through the exit and piled up on his palm grain by grain.

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhang Jing quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Very well."

Two almost overlapping voices echoed softly in his ear.

"It's good that Master noticed it."

Zhang Jing thought, feeling relieved.

As soon as the River of Time Golden Sand was blocked by some kind of barrier, he quickly deduced the situation.

He was currently in the Cave Heaven created by his master.

If an outsider wanted to directly send something in without the master's permission, like just now, it was nearly impossible.

...

At this moment.

In the void deep within the Cave Heaven.

Inside the ancient and vicissitudinous bronze palace.

Two figures sat facing each other.

One of them was the bird-faced, human-bodied True Monarch Yuanming who Zhang Jing had first seen.

The other Tao body was somewhat peculiar in appearance.

The body still roughly maintained a humanoid shape, but there were no facial features on the face.

If you look closely, you would see that this body was actually formed by a twisting, winding green vine. Behind it, there were countless tender roots reaching into the depths of the emptiness.

The vine body slowly retracted its gaze.

A voice full of mockery suddenly echoed throughout the bronze palace.

"Ha ha, the Gold Bamboo of the Auction Field of All Worlds, this little fellow Zhang Jing probably hasn't been reminded that it's best not to use it within the Cave Heaven."

"It's just a trivial matter, let him fiddle around."

The bird-faced Dao body laughed as well.

"But——"

There was a hint of surprise in his gaze, then he continued,

"In just over two years, he managed to comprehend the Golden Sun Crow Tao Intent to perfection again! The key is that the Tao Intent he had previously mastered was the completely opposite Taoyin Sea Dragon Tao Intent. Now that the Yin and Yang are harmonized within him, the path of Tao Intent comprehension will be easier in the future."
