Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"This esteemed fellow, please pause. We, disciples of the Taiyi Sect, will handle our internal matters. We wouldn't want you to trouble yourself."

Zhang Jing slowly walked in front of the other party and said with a soft chuckle.

His tone was gentle.

Yet it subtly carried a hint of domineering intent, one that left no room for refusal.

Opposite him.

The man's eyes, filled with a deep demonic aura, slowly met Zhang Jing's indifferent gaze.

A smirking expression flashed across his face.

"You're too polite, junior brother. Being the host of the Ancestor Immortal Sect, how could we stand by and watch as our disciples are bullied by the creatures of the All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp? Not to mention that Ge Qingshen is a good friend of mine."

"Moreover..."

"The fact that these creatures from the All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp infiltrated us was our own mistake. Regardless of whether we consider the public or personal factors, it is appropriate for me, as your senior, to make a move."

"Junior brother, you should step aside now. Also, let Junior Brother Qu return quickly. If he ends up injured at the hands of the Red-Eyed Golden Peng, my sin would be great."

While he spoke,

The man's eyes suddenly darkened, intensifying the abyssal demonic aura within them exponentially.

Seemingly ready to devour Zhang Jing's mind entirely.

"Your earnestness, brother, seems to have come a bit late."

A smile flashed across Zhang Jing's face.

Various Tao Intents of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and more, converged in his gaze, fearlessly contending with the strange demonic light in the man's eyes.

Subsequently, it even pressured the man with an unstoppable force.

Sssss!

Strange sounds pierced the air as if something was being crushed.

Feeling the terrifying aura rushing towards him,

A hint of fear appeared on the man's face.

The commotion between the two quickly caught the eyes of the disciples seated above, creating a stir.

The young man surnamed Ji, a disciple of the Emperarin's Way from the closest distance,

Could clearly see that the man from the Ancestor Demon Sect was no match for Zhang Jing.

A hint of shock flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself:

"What staggering strength! He's close to overpowering Brother Wang! Zhang Jing from the Lower Nine Domains... Just when did the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate produce such a character?"

"Moreover, it's not just him..."

He turned his gaze towards the Fairy Fighting Platform,

Feeling a hint of apprehension.

In his field of vision,

The arrogant Red-Eyed Golden Peng was clearly struggling under Qu Junhou's attacks.

The destructive Tao Intent that could obliterate the world, had directly shattered the Golden Peng's once proud golden feathers.

"What is Ge Qingshen thinking? He said he wanted to assess the strength of these two? Has he lost his mind?"

The man sneered inside.

Next to him,

The man surnamed Shi, who had previously crossed paths with Zhang Jing, momentarily felt a surge of fear.

"I'm glad that I didn't..."

He thought with some fear.

As for the two disciples from the Nine Domains lineage seated on the other side.

They first glanced at Qu Junhou on the stage below, who was making the Red-Eyed Golden Peng scurry around in panic. Then, they glanced over Zhang Jing, who had the Demon Sect disciple unable to move a muscle.

Their gazes were slightly stunned.

All of this felt as if they were in a dream.

Since when had their Nine Domains lineage produced such two abnormal talents?

"Ge Qingshen, the strongest Foundation Establishment Realm disciple of the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate?"

The two shared a laugh in their hearts.

...

Time continued flowing gently.

On the Fairy Fighting Platform.

"I give up, I give up! Here, take this Seven-Treasures Gourd Seed!"

The Red-Eyed Golden Peng transformed into its human form and, fearful, pleaded to Qu Junhou.

He carefully presented the seed of the Immortal Root Seven-Treasures Gourd Seed.

At this moment, the Golden Peng looked miserable. Where was the arrogance that it exhibited earlier?

As it lowered its head,

The scattered golden feathers on the ground caught his eye.

There was a brief moment of grief in its eyes.

Below the Fairy Fighting Platform.

The onlookers erupted into applause and cheers, their previously suppressed frustrations now released.

The mighty All-Heavens Beasts had been soundly defeated at the hands of their Human Race prodigies.

It was a sight that excited and overjoyed everyone present.

In the crowd.

"Haha, who said that Ge Qingshen was the strongest Foundation Establishment of the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate? The real strongest is clearly the Land-opening Ming King! Oh gosh, that Golden Peng was terrifying, yet, it was completely crushed in front of him!"

"Such nerve to say that the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate is failing!"

"Exactly. They stand at the summit of the Mysterious Yellow World as the undying Taoist doctrine, ruling over their Heavenly domain. With constant emerging prodigies, where is this so-called decline?"

Ahead.

Many disciples of the Taiyi Sect were walking around with their heads held high.

Regardless of whether they were disciples of the Heavenly Realm Lineage or the Nine Domains Lineage, they all watched Qu Junhou on the stage with fervent admiration.

Their faces unconsciously exuded pride.

"Is this... the true strength of Senior Brother Qu?" Shen Chu's mind felt slightly dazed.

He knew that the other party was strong.

But who could have imagined, he'd be this strong?

"What about Senior Brother Zhang Jing?"

Shen Chu couldn't help but think.

He suddenly remembered that when he first met Senior Brother Qu at the entrance to the Secret Realm, there seemed to be a hint that Zhang Jing was the leader.

What did that imply?

"During the final ranking battle of the Jiaoyun Realm, we should be able to witness Senior Brother Zhang Jing's abilities."

A hint of anticipation emerged in Shen Chu's heart.
