Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

How will you respond?

In the layers upon layers of fog.

An expectant look flashes across Chang Jin's face.

Her beautiful eyes are sparkling, her inquisitive gaze lightly sweeping over Zhang Jing's calm face.

In the beginning.

For Chang Jin, the goal of coming to the Jiaoyun Realm in the Human Race territory was singular - to be the first in the Foundation Establishment Realm of this Secret Realm and complete her chosen trial task.

As for the rest.

She didn't care.

But now.

Completing the task is still the top priority, of course.

But ... discovering the true hidden strength of this human male named Zhang Jing has also unwittingly become Chang Jin's target.

In her understanding.

The limit of the Human Race's Foundation Establishment Realm is already achieved when they reach a level similar to that of Ji Changyu.

After all, it's a racial restriction.

The Human Race is not like the various species in the All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp, born sacred with incredible talents.

Their cultivation process is in fact a transformation of life.

Therefore, the lower-level Human Race is naturally disadvantaged when facing the powerful races of All Heavens Beasts.

Only a few geniuses can break this barrier.

However, the appearance of Zhang Jing seems to have shattered this perception of Chang Jin's.

It also reminded her of the inadvertent sigh of admiration from the divine beings in her clan:

"We might be as weak as ants at birth, but we have near infinite possibilities!"

"We may not be like our Imperial Clan, favored by the Great Dao from birth, but on the other hand, we are not bound by any Great Dao".

"Every action has its destined outcome."

Thinking about it.

Chang Jin looks at Zhang Jing again, feeling the increasingly strong dangerous aura emanating from him, she murmurs:

"Is this the infinite potential of the Human Race?"

As her words fell.

The bright moon shadow behind Chang Jin shines brightly, the cold moonlight spilling from it instantly engulfs the entire arena.

In an instant.

The scenery within the range of the moonlight's coverage changes drastically.

The Taiyin True Intent is permeating.

It overwhelmingly clears out all other forces.

And Zhang Jing, who is under the coverage of the moonlight, seems to be in a precarious situation.

In the land below, Renjie Island.

And even the other arenas.

Seeing the same scene as when Ji Changyu was defeated appearing again, everyone seemed to be able to predict what would happen next and diverted their attention.

They can't bear to watch again.

One defeat is already enough.

...

At this moment.

Chang Jin was taken aback.

A complex expression of expectation and surprise flashed across her face.

In her line of sight.

In Zhang Jing's hand, a slender light of Chaos Immortal Light quietly appeared.

The moment that spiritual light appeared.

Chang Jin felt as if her domain maintained by her innate divine ability was mournfully moaning inaudibly.

At the same time.

The sense of crisis that had been lingering in her heart had reached an extreme.

Chang Jin unconsciously bit her lip.

The good news was that she finally saw the hidden power of the other party; the bad news, however, was that the opponent's means seemed to restrain her innate divine ability extremely well.

She might not be able to complete this task.

...

On the spot.

Gazing at the suddenly boiling Taiyin Realm.

Zhang Jing had a faint smile in his eyes.

The next instant.

He pointed forward.

A most dazzling Primordial Chaos Immortal Light abruptly flew out from behind him and rapidly swept around.

Strands of terrifying aura began to fill the Taiyin Realm that Chang Jin had set up, like that of creating a vacuum.

On its first appearance.

The Primordial Chaos Immortal Light revealed its ferocious and domineering side to the world!

Crack--

The realm started to tremble violently.

Wherever the Primordial Chaos Immortal Light passed, the originally indestructible Taiyin realm was instantly cut apart, leaving behind intersecting, spiderweb-like black spacetime cracks.

The attached elements of earth, fire, wind, and water were slowly expanding these black spacetime cracks while blending together.

Hum!

The Taiyin realm trembled endlessly — the bright moon hanging high in the sky radiated a clear moonlight as bright as daylight.

Surges of the Power of Taiyin poured out.

The horrifying Taiyin Dao Intent began to gradually drive and squeeze the elements attached to the black spacetime cracks, as if to reconnect and repair the shattered realm.

However.

It's all too slow, and too late.

Zhang Jing's intent moved.

The Primordial Chaos Immortal Light was like a nimble fish, freely swimming in Chang Jin's Taiyin realm.

At the end.

Boom--

The Immortal Light flashed by.

The bright moon suspended above the dome of the sky was quietly shattered.

The black spacetime cracks that filled the entire Taiyin realm suddenly began to spread wildly, as if all restraints had been lifted.

In just an instant.

The surroundings of Zhang Jing changed again.

He was back on the stage.

At this moment.

The Primordial Chaos Immortal Light spanned the sky, carrying with it a terrifying intent to open up all heavens, and slashed directly at Chang Jin.

Her protective light was crumbled like paper.

Following that was the veil on her face.

In her fleeting glance.

A stunningly beautiful face imprinted with the charm of heaven and earth came into view.

The exquisite skin is as creamy as lard, her naturally perfect features are imbued with spiritual energy, leaving those who see her in awe of the wonder of nature.

At this moment.

Chang Jin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes looking at Zhang Jing were filled with resignation, and there is a faint hint of annoyance.

Like she was saying: I'll remember you.

A flash of white light.

Chang Jin's figure vanished instantly from the spot.

And that Primordial Chaos Immortal Light continued its relentless course towards the stage.

In the next moment.

Zhang Jing changed his expression and swung his hand sharply. The Primordial Chaos Immortal Light immediately dissipated, as if it had never appeared before.

At his ear.

A faint voice slowly faded.

"For damaging the stage, you will first not be penalized, but future infractions will be deducted from your rewards."

Zhang Jing was familiar with this voice.

It's from the Spirit of the Secret Realm.

That's why he hurriedly dispersed the Immortal Light.

After all, ninety million luck movement is not a small amount.

"Couldn't you have reminded me earlier?"

Zhang Jing smiled awkwardly, his gaze unconsciously sweeping past the place where Chang Jin's silhouette had disappeared not too long ago.

A fleeting hint of astonishment lingered in his eyes.

How could there be such a nearly perfect face in this world?

Zhang Jing exclaimed in his heart.

Indeed.

Chang Jin's countenance gave him the impression of perfection, where everything was just right, exuding a sense of natural harmony.

Her beauty transcended the mundane.

It was a splendid creation of nature!

"An unparalleled beauty! No wonder Chang Jin is always shrouded in an aura of mystery. It's probably the protection of her clan elders."

Zhang Jing realised.

Not much later.

The astonishment in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by excitement and anticipation.

He instinctively looked at the scroll in the sky.

The rankings had visibly changed a little.

[Zhang Jing, Rank Two: Ninety-nine victories]

[Chang Jin, Rank One: Ninety-eight victories]

[Ji Changyu, Rank Three: Ninety-seven victories]

[Qu Junhou, Rank Four: Ninety-six victories]

…

…

"Next, the Spirit of the Secret Realm should announce the luck movement rewards for each rank, and …"

Zhang Jing glanced at the golden sun in the sky.

A faint trace of longing crossed his face.

…

At this moment.

In a section of the viewing area outside the Secret Realm.

The stands are silent.

Many people are clutching their chests, seemingly unable to bear the continuous twists and turns.

Their faces flushed with excitement!

From the initial despair when the mysterious woman appeared, to the rekindled hope when Ji Changyu and Zhang Jing successively revealed their strength on par with each other.

Then to surprise when Zhang Jing managed to 'barely' defeat Ji Changyu, who appeared to be the strongest.

Eventually, the mysterious woman revealed her terrifying strength and swept Ji Changyu out of the game with overwhelming force, plunging everyone into the depths of despair again.

Looking at this.

Everyone thought the outcome was already decided.

Who could have imagined that the one who would end up easily defeated was the mysterious woman!

And not Zhang Jing, who was initially not highly regarded.

"Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate! Zhang Jing!"

At this moment.

Many people couldn't help but mutter these two names internally, their faces overflowing with excitement and pride.

To think there was nobody in the Human Race at the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, these talents are even stronger than those in the All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp!

…

In a certain corner of the stands.

"What's the outcome?"

A pretty woman with her hands tightly covering her eyes, both wanting and not daring to watch, could only ask the man beside her in a whisper.

Hearing this.

The man unconsciously cast an enthusiastic glance at Zhang Jing on the stage, laughing as he said:

"Overwhelmingly powerful!"

"And you're laughing?!"

The woman protested, her voice tinged with a hint of whining.

"I mean — our race's talent won!"

"And with overwhelming power, he swept away the opponent from the All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp!"

A radiant smile unexpectedly surfaced on the man's face.

…

On one of the stages.

"Hahaha! Well done, Brother Zhang Jing!"

A man came to his senses and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Even until now, he still found it hard to believe the scene that just unfolded on the stage.

But… who cares.

In any case, the top talent of their Human Race won.

And on the other side of the man.

The Water-Avoiding Deer stared, its face full of disbelief.

It turned to look at the lone figure on the distant stage, feeling waves of dizziness.

How could she possibly lose?

This made no sense at all.

She is of a divine bloodline!

Even among the All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp, she was a top-rated talent, yet at the Foundation Establishment stage, she lost to a human?!

And in this manner, no less!

…

Not far away.

Ji Changyu's eyes went slightly blank.

As someone who had personally experienced Chang Jin's Innate Divine Ability, he naturally knew how terrifying it was.

That Taiyin domain, which repelled everything, was simply despairing.

So he wasn't very willing to watch that match.

After all, the result was already decided.

There would be no suspense.

But.

He didn't want to pay attention, but his opponent on the stage was focused on the battle over there, completely undefended.

At this point.

Of course, Ji Changyu wouldn't take advantage.

Helplessly.

He also had to look at the stage where Zhang Jing and Chang Jin were.

But he never expected —

This glance made Ji Changyu completely stunned.

Especially the terrifying fairy light that Zhang Jing had commanded to easily tear apart Chang Jin's Innate Divine Ability.

Just by glancing from afar.

He felt a chill all over his body.

"What exactly is that fairy light? Why didn't Zhang Jing use it when we fought?"

After a moment of contemplation.

A bitter smile emerged on Ji Changyu's face.

The other party didn't use that kind of fairy light when he went against himself, which must have been out of consideration for Chang Jin.

In other words.

Zhang Jing probably knew about Chang Jin's strength from the beginning.

Thinking this.

"There are differences among the Ninth Rank of Foundation Establishment!"

Ji Changyu sighed.

…

With the passage of time.

As the mana fluctuations in the last ring gradually subsided.

The ranking on the heavenly scroll eventually settled.

On the gigantic face of the Spirit of the Secret Realm, which covered the sky, a jovial smile slowly spread.

Accompanied by booming, exhilarating voices.

Ringing in everyone's ears.

"The final ranking of this Foundation Establishment stage in the Jiaoyun Secret Region has been finalized, and the rewards will now be given!"

"One hundredth place, Qi Yunteng!"

"Reward for this round of ranking — Zero!"
