Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

The dark pupil reflected a small patch of the sky that had been dyed red.

Zhang Jing's expression remained unchanged, as calm as an unfathomable ancient pond.

Suddenly.

Something stirred within his heart.

Ding Ding! Splash Splash!

Simultaneously, the sound of water swelling and metal clashing emerged.

The entire duel platform resonated instantly.

Zhang Jing slightly pointed with one hand.

The Duobao River abruptly began to enlarge at extreme speed; simultaneously, the Dao Intent of wind and water spread throughout the river.

Omm Omm!

The Duobao River, lingering in the void, began to quiver violently, its waters turning ink-black in an instant.

Whoo whoo~

A piercing wind suddenly sounded.

Instantly, it whipped up wildly turbulent waves on the Duobao River.

The bigger the waves, the more terrifying the water vapor caught in the wind became, making the already chilling wind even more terrifying.

The wind borrowed the impetus of water, and the water borrowed the force of wind.

The Dao Intent of the intertwined and fused wind and water directly amplified the Duobao River to an extremely terrifying extent.

Talking about power.

It was no weaker than the Duobao River previously boosted by Zhang Jing's Five Elements Dao Intent.

Even… it seemed to be a bit stronger!

The next moment.

Under Zhang Jing's control.

The Duobao River, like a vast dragon, swept rudely towards the terrifying flames in every direction.

Boom—

The moment the two met.

The red flame, that nearly melted the entire duel platform, upon meeting it's nemesis, vanished without a trace.

Then.

The Duobao River, wrapped in boundless turbulent momentum, roared towards the woman.

The whole process.

From the woman differentiating her phantom clones, to casting the Red Flame Spell, to the appearance of the Duobao River, crushing all the red flames, and turning to sweep towards the woman.

Took less than two breaths.

The expectations on the woman's face hadn't had time to fade when she had already turned into a streak of white light and disappeared from the duel platform.

Hiss—

From the nearby ten-odd duel platforms, there came indications of extreme shock.

Some even froze on the spot.

Almost forgetting their current duels.

It was their first time seeing Zhang Jing, one of the three, in action.

In their eyes, the woman's attack just now was pretty terrible.

Among them, only a few believed they could withstand such an attack without getting eliminated.

But such seemingly irresistible offensive.

Was directly eliminated by a counterattack!

Making it seem effortless.

Both being in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The gap between the two sides' powers was worryingly large.

Moreover, they wouldn't believe for a moment, that the opponent had gone all out!

…

At the original location.

Zhang Jing's gaze was fixed on the place where the woman had disappeared.

Unintentionally, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

The moment the opponent stepped onto the stage.

He was almost certain that this woman wasn't from any of the seven immortal lineages of the Human Race.

To have made it this far.

Even among the many disciples from the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate participating in the Secret Realm this time, only a select few have made it.

Just like Shen Chu, the junior brother who invited Zhang Jing and Qu Junhou to the Dao Ming Council, failed to advance to the last round.

Even…

If Zhang Jing was not mistaken.

Apparently, among the two disciples from the next generation Nine Domains lineage who attended the Dao Ming Council, one didn't make it to this stage.

If even the Tao Sect disciples are like this.

It's even harder for someone from the Human Race outside the seven immortal lineages.

The difficulty of this can be imagined.

It's not just about legacy.

It's also about resources!

Many resource treasures that are easily obtained within the Tao Sect are extremely precious in the outside world. Ordinary cultivators might never have even heard of them.

Returning his thoughts to the present.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but take a glance at the Duobao River.

The excitement arose in his heart.

The fusion of the Dao Intent of wind and water just now was his attempt taking inspiration from the principle of the mutual fusion of wind and water Dao Intent within the previously pitched black wind.

It seems that, thus far, the results had been quite successful.

Although still a bit crude.

But the terrifying prowess within is already showing its teeth.

Just by merging two kinds of Dao intent in this way, its prowess had already slightly surpassed the previous Five-Element Dao intent.

And what if all thirty-six types of Dao intent were to be merged into one?

By then, perhaps he could catch up with the pseudo-innate Primordial Divine Light based solely on Dao intent.

At this thought.

A hint of anticipation flashed across Zhang Jing's face.

"It seems like the ranking battle for this month is going to be busy."

...

The intent of repulsion from the stage beneath his feet grew increasingly strong.

Zhang Jing shook his head helplessly, immediately transforming into a rainbow of light, leaving the stage directly to return to Renjie Island.

His eyes involuntarily swept towards the multiple stages in the sky.

In that instant.

He locked his gaze onto one of his main competitors this time around, Ji Changyu from the Emperarin's Way.

Something seemed off!

Today's Ji Changyu felt completely different from before.

The entire person seemed to have transformed into an overwhelming, horrific flame that symbolized change, fervor, continuity, survival, rise and fall...Various contexts revolved incessantly around him.

"The Fire of Humanity, or perhaps the Fire of Civilization, or Fire of Life?"

Zhang Jing curiously thought.

His heart moved.

A celebrating cloud, shimmering with golden brilliance and the constant flow of five-colored aura, rose from behind his head.

Within the cloud.

An eye filled with indifferent radiance slowly opened, casting its gaze directly onto Ji Changyu on the stage.

In a flash.

Fire! A sacred fire that seemed to contain the will of life's Tao!

His vision was completely red.

Specks of flame wrapped around Ji Changyu's body.

The opponent's body, Mana, and even the Divine Sense had all been covered by the sacred fire, and this flame even extended to deeper levels that Zhang Jing could not see.

"Is this the powerful legacy of the Emperarin's Way?"

Surprise flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

They unexpectedly managed to condense the intangible and insubstantial Fire of Humanity into a real and substantial Divine Skill Method of fire.

It was indeed worthy of being the immortal Taoist lineage passed down by the legendary Emperors of Humanity.

…

Meanwhile.

The woman from before gradually came to her senses.

She glanced complicatedly at Zhang Jing in the distance, and a hint of shock, along with an easily missed longing, flashed across her face.

Was this the prodigy of the Human Race's immortal Dao lineage?

The methods that she prided herself on were easily wiped out by him, to the point where they couldn't even bring him a moment's inconvenience.

The disparity between them was far beyond her imagination.

"Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate?!"

The woman muttered to herself, a touch of determination suddenly rising in her heart.

…

Time slowly passed.

A vague summon shrilly appeared in his mind.

Zhang Jing looked upwards.

B1! A5!

"It's my turn again."

He smirked.

His figure instantly appeared on the corresponding stage, waiting quietly.

Meanwhile, down below.

"B1! Haha, brat! You're in luck, that appears to be Zhang Jing's number!"

The Red-Eyed Golden Peng looked towards the Sheep Demon beside him and taunted gleefully.

"Didn't you want to know why I dared not challenge him last round?"

"Go ahead then, you'll know soon."

"Hahahaha~"

As he spoke.

The Red-Eyed Golden Peng started laughing uproariously.

Next to him.

"Go, then! What's so great about that? Today, I'll show you what is the epitome of strength. Just because you, a damn bird, are afraid to face your enemy doesn't mean I am too!"

"No matter who the opponent is, even if I lose today, I'm going to pluck a few feathers off him."

Provoked by the Red-Eyed Golden Peng.

The Sheep Demon immediately got excited, raising his head, flushing red in his face and neck and shouted.

In the next moment.

Without waiting for the Red-Eyed Golden Peng's response.

The Sheep Demon's figure flashed and immediately disappeared from the spot.
