Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Jing'er, can you stay home this time?"

In front of him.

A familiar middle-aged woman is desperately holding the hem of Zhang Jing's clothes, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Before Zhang Jing could respond.

A man with a haggard face steps out quietly from the room, his eyes flashing a hint of expectation not easily detected.

The next moment.

His face darkens.

His expectation is hidden from his eyes.

"Jing'er is a person destined for great things! We, as parents, must not drag him down."

As he was speaking.

The man's face suddenly turns red.

Immediately afterward, a large amount of dark red blood spews out from his mouth.

The middle-aged woman who had just been clutching Zhang Jing's clothes turns pale, she quickly runs to the man's side and calls out in a sobbing voice:

"Jing'er, your father is dying. If you leave now, I'm afraid...I'm afraid you'll never see him again."

"It's...it's nothing."

The man shakes his head slightly at the woman, signaling her not to say any more.

Then.

He lifts his head to look at Zhang Jing, a forced smile appears on his pale face without a trace of blood, and he says softly:

"Jing'er, your dad is in good health, just...cough, cough...caught a cold, you go and stay busy, you don't need to worry about me."

...

At that spot.

Zhang Jing silently watches the scene before him.

The next moment.

Clap, clap——

"Not bad acting but where are my younger siblings, why didn't I see them?"

He claps his hands expressionless, reminding at the same time.

As soon as the words fall.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Two sharp exclamations resound from behind him.

Zhang Jing's eyes suddenly halt.

Should I say or not say.

These demons are really.... quite flexible!

That's right.

Zhang Jing is currently in the illusory realm of mind created by numerous demonic heads in the thousands of feet of space below Renjie Island.

He is very clear in his heart.

He was just curious about what these guys could do, so he didn't expose them immediately.

Looking at it now.

The illusion of heart demon woven by these demons is quite realistic, also backed up with excellent acting skills, and a good attitude to correct their mistakes when they realize them.

No wonder the Red-Eyed Golden Peng lost himself in it.

Sigh——

His gaze sweeps past the 'parents' in front of him.

Zhang Jing lets out a sigh, an inexplicable complexity emerging in his eyes.

Not much later.

The complexity turns into determination.

With a movement of his mind.

In an instant.

Supremely pure red light abruptly shines, with just a casual sweep, the surrounding illusion woven by the many demon heads began to collapse bit by bit.

And the 'parents' in front of him revealed their true forms.

They are two childlike shadows with deep demon light on their faces, shuddering with millions of faces, a cold, jealous expression suddenly flashes into Zhang Jing's eyes.

"Cruel human race, we curse your Immortal Way to be without a path, we curse your breakthrough will be affected by the heart demon..."

The two demon heads look at Zhang Jing, uttering curses in unison.

Their voices are full of hatred.

However, the next moment.

The red divine light sweeps over again.

The demon heads suddenly transform into thin wisps of black smoke, completely reduced to ashes.

"Heart demon, am I afraid of the heart demon?"

A faint smile emerges at the corner of Zhang Jing's eyes.

...

His consciousness slowly withdraws from the broken illusory realm of the heart demon.

Only a moment has passed in the outside world.

He looks at the island floating quietly above his head.

Zhang Jing speeds up suddenly!

...

On Renjie Island.

A man and a woman sit opposite each other, about a hundred feet apart, their auras erupting terrifyingly.

The confrontation of the huge momentum between them.

It even makes the air start to distort.

Not far away.

Seeing this terrifying scene.

The Red-Eyed Golden Peng instinctively shrank its head, stealthily glancing at the man dressed in a dark gold nine-dragon robed man.

Its eyes were filled with sheer astonishment.

Could there be such a formidable Foundation Establishment Realm practitioner within the Human Race?!

Though his aura was weaker than the grown-ups.

They both still seemed to be on the same level.

"No wonder the Human Race, relying solely on the strength of their kind, can compete against the entire All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp! Even the relatively weaker Foundation Establishment Realm stage could produce a horrifying talent capable of contending against the Imperial Clan."

The Red-Eyed Golden Peng sighed in secret.

It then felt a slight schadenfreude.

"That daft sheep who only thinks about strength couldn't detect the existence of this person from the Emperor's Way. Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid he'll be blamed when he returns."

But just then.

A bright rainbow light suddenly invaded the Red-Eyed Golden Peng's sight.

It was taken aback for no reason.

...

Gently landing.

A tranquil and scenic place had appeared before his eyes.

"Is this Renjie Island?"

Zhang Jing looked around curiously.

The next moment.

Two figures, a man and a woman, locked in battle, appeared in his field of vision.

His gaze lingered on the mysterious woman whose face he couldn't see for a moment, before focusing on the man in a dark golden dragon robe.

It wasn't surprising to Zhang Jing that the mysterious woman was here.

But the strange man—

"Human Race! And looking at his attire... Emperor's Way?"

Zhang Jing speculated with interest.

During his contemplation.

The two people on the opposite side turned their heads at the same time.

Simultaneously.

Two daunting auras, like bursting river water, poured directly towards Zhang Jing.

It was a test! Also, a warning!

In his field of vision, invisible ripples appeared immediately.

"Showing off your power? Interesting."

A mysterious smile flickered in Zhang Jing's eyes.

From the looks of it now.

These two should be his real competitors for the first place in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If that's the case.

It would be better if he was the one to show off his power!

The next moment.

Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water... A total of thirty-six Tao Intents erupted instantly. Then they began to intertwine and merge, harmonious and flawless, radiating an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura.

Step!

Zhang Jing stepped forward.

The enormous momentum emanating from him, resembling the crumbling of a mountain, instantly condensed into a giant blade, aiming at his opponents.

Boom——

A loud thunderclap roared in his ears.

The expression on the face of the man in the dragon robe changed drastically.

...

Who knew how much time had passed.

The three sat across each other.

"I'm Ji Changyu from the Emperor's Way. Greetings, fellow cultivator."

The man in the dragon robe looked intently at Zhang Jing.

He hadn't expected to find another Rank 9 Foundation Establishment practitioner in the Jiaoyun Realm, besides himself and the woman from the Taiyin Jade Rabbit clan!

A touch of excitement welled up in his heart.

For Ji Changyu.

While the rewards of the Jiaoyun Realm were indeed enticing, an equal opponent was what he truly desired.

On the other side.

"Chang Jin from the Taiyin Jade Rabbit clan bids you greetings, fellow cultivator."

The woman's face was blurred in the mist, she spoke softly. Her crisp and sweet voice carried a hint of an extremely terrible majesty.

"Greetings to you both from Zhang Jing of the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate."

Zhang Jing smiled slightly, his voice gentle.

Upon hearing this.

Ji Changyu was slightly taken aback.

He had heard this name before.

His brother once reminded him to watch out for this guy, but he didn't take it seriously back then.

Who would've thought...

Across from him.

Upon hearing of the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate, Chang Jin also blanked for a moment.

Before long.

A teasing gaze slowly fell on the Red-Eyed Golden Peng in the distance.

Without any hesitation.

The Red-Eyed Golden Peng stretched its neck, stuck up its butt, and promptly buried its head in the sand.

Looking totally embarrassed.
