Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

[Ninth Grade Immortal Seed: Dao Yuan Qingyun]

"The name hasn't changed, has it?"

Zhang Jing's eyes gleamed.

However, he immediately discovered that the Jade Talisman in Mud Pill Palace trembled again, and information suddenly appeared.

He suddenly understood in his heart.

Next.

Zhang Jing just shook his head.

"No need to change, after all, it's just a name, besides, Dao Yuan is better than any other. But…Ninth Grade Immortal Seed?"

A thoughtful expression crossed his face.

The division of levels among the Immortal Seeds is not surprising, but the basis of this level division—

Zhang Jing's brow lightly furrowed.

According to previous experience.

It might be related to the level of legacy of corresponding Divine Skill Methods.

But are there similar levels for each Divine Skill Method legacy in the Dao Repository Secret Realm from the Flowing Light Immortal Realm?

Did he overlook it at the time?

After thinking fruitlessly.

Zhang Jing simply stopped worrying about it for now.

Anyway, he would know when he went back.

After that.

Zhang Jing once again looked at the Dao Yuan Qingyun Immortal Seed, especially at the additional layer of golden clouds.

But he saw above the golden clouds, a sun bathed in rosy light was faintly visible.

Looking mysterious to the extreme.

"Heart-Thought Gold Sun!"

A cry of exclamation involuntarily rose from his heart.

After being upgraded to an Immortal Seed, the previous Jiaoyun Qingyun Divine Skill has undergone major transformations as well.

From this emerged the Heart-Thought Gold Sun.

This Gold Sun, neither true nor false, exists between the mind and reality and can absorb many thoughts including random thoughts, desires, and delusions from living beings within a certain range around oneself, smelting them into Acquired Purple Qi.

It can be used for understanding Dao and Cultivation.

It is indeed a treasure of the highest quality.

"Before, the Jiaoyun Qingyun could only smelt my own thoughts to aid in understanding Dao, now it can even smelt others' thoughts."

A strange smile suddenly flashed across Zhang Jing's face.

The thing is a good thing.

But will it be a bit too devilish?

Wait a moment!

As if suddenly realizing something.

A hint of imperceptible excitement flashed across Zhang Jing's face.

This Heart-Thought Gold Sun seems to go well with the path of the Primitive Genesis Derivative World that he treads on.

And the 24 Heavenly Divine Skills!

Then.

Wouldn't the countless lives living in the 24 worlds he carries provide the largest source of thoughts?

There's Acquired Purple Qi.

There should be the legendary Innate Purple Qi.

Perhaps just upgrading the Dao Yuan Qingyun Immortal Seed to a higher level will do.

"Reap sentient beings as nourishment? How strange, the further I walk this path, the more I feel like the big villains from the novels in my previous life,"

Zhang Jing couldn't help thinking with a wry smile.

But at this moment.

There was a tremor beneath his feet.

He was suddenly brought back to his senses.

The grand voice of the Spirit of the Secret Realm echoed in his ears.

"Jiaoyun Secret Realm will close in four hours, and the next opening will be in a thousand years. At the same time, the Cultivation of participants is restricted to Golden Core Realm."

What the heck! Isn't it supposed to open once every hundred years?

And from the sounds of it.

In the future, only those in the Golden Core Realm can participate in the Jiaoyun Secret Realm?

Surprised in his heart.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but raise his head to look at the sky above.

However, he found that by now, the Spirit of the Secret Realm had already disappeared without a trace.

...

On Renjie Island.

The moment they heard the voice, everyone stiffened simultaneously, relief flooding their hearts.

...

In the various stands in the outer space of the Secret Realm.

There was likewise complete silence.

After a while.

Some people gradually snapped back to reality, their eyes dull.

Lamenting voices echoed one after another.

Apparently.

All of them were those who planned to participate in the Jiaoyun Secret Realm in a hundred years.

Especially when seeing the huge amounts of luck movement and various innate Divine Skills rewards this time.

Their hearts were burning with heat.

However.

The words of the Spirit of the Secret Realm shattered everyone's expectations.

"Once every thousand years? And only Golden Cores can participate, how fierce the competition must be, it's unimaginable!"

Someone mumbled.

The voice carried a note of despair.

...

"Heh~ I'm glad I made it in time. Right, congratulations, Brother Zhang, for winning the Jiaoyun Secret Realm!"

"Congratulations, Brother Dao!"

"Congratulations, Brother Dao, for topping the Foundation Establishment Realm and winning innate Divine Abilities!"

Several voices suddenly sounded nearby, among which were audible cheerfulness, restraint, and awe.

Zhang Jing turned his head and saw.

That it was Qu Junhou, and Ji Jiulin and Wang Wunian, whom he had met at the Dao Ming Council, along with seven slightly unfamiliar people, were striding towards him.

An expression of profound respect was etched on their faces.

On the other side.

There were quite a few who also wanted to come and greet Zhang Jing, but upon seeing this scene, they all stopped in their tracks.

A hint of reverence flickered in their eyes.

Those surrounding him were the ten talents whose fame was unparalleled among the Human Race Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Although later, with the emergence of Zhang Jing and two others.

The so-called 'ten talents' became a bit of a joke.

But what no one could deny was that, whether it was their backgrounds or their abilities, these ten had no issue being called 'ten talents.'

With them circling around Zhang Jing.

How could they dare to approach?

...

Time slowly ticked away.

"Brother, still the same words, if there is an opportunity, remember to visit our Heavenly Emperor Taiyu. Jiulin will fully attend to the hospitality."

"Brother, if you want tranquillity and contemplation. Our True Ascending Treasure Extreme Sky is also a good choice. I assure you won't be disappointed."

"Brother, keep in touch frequently. If you need something, feel free to ask. I would be more than willing to help."

Seeing the secret realm was about to close.

A few of them enthusiastically invited Zhang Jing one after another.

"Thank you for your warm invitations. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely pay a visit," replied Zhang Jing in a mild tone, without any arrogance of being the top user of Foundation Establishment.

For one thing, he is not that kind of person.

On the other hand.

These people are the talented disciples of various immortal lineages within the human race.

Almost every one of them has a Heavenly True Monarch supporting them.

Since they had taken the initiative to show goodwill, Zhang Jing had no reason to refuse.

After all, in the Mysterious Yellow World where formidable people are found everywhere.

The role of a background and connections is far greater than fighting and killing.

...

After a short while.

Only Zhang Jing was left in the original spot.

"Keep in touch, huh?"

He put away a gold symbol in his hand, a trace of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Then, his gaze unconsciously turned towards the edge of the secret realm's sky.

Above, a six-layered auspicious cloud rose, filled with immortal light, and profound Daoist sounds echoed, seemingly both present and absent.

At the center of the auspicious cloud.

The extraordinary immortal eye suddenly opened, projecting a brilliant divine light.

"What is that?"

The moment he saw it.

Zhang Jing's breath abruptly stopped.

With the help of the extraordinary immortal eye.

The abnormality hidden at the very edge of the secret realm's sky was now exposed blatantly in his sight.

Cracks in the void spread all around, releasing a terrifying chaos from inside.

And within the dark void.

Dense, brilliant glowing chains of Dao were interwoven, endless and numerous.

From time to time, a chain of Dao broke.

But the next moment, even more new chains of Dao were created.

Almost instantly.

Zhang Jing had an insight.

"This is the scene when the secret realm intersects with the Dongzhen Huamiao Realm. I didn't expect that the transformed extraordinary immortal eye would be able to capture it!"

Seeing this manifestation of Dao in the world.

He couldn't help but become a bit excited.

Without much thought.

He fully activated the Dao Yuan Qingyun Immortal Seed, hoping to learn something from it. If it succeeded, he would profit tremendously.

Time slowly passed.

The repulsive force on his body grew stronger and stronger.

Finally.

Zhang Jing reluctantly withdrew his gaze, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He gained nothing!

"My realm is still too low after all. Forget it, let's leave directly. After all, the extraordinary immortal eye can't run away. In the future, there will be plenty of such opportunities!"

He thought to himself.

Then his mind moved.

An ancient stone gate, seemingly real and illusory, slowly appeared before him.

...

After passing through the stone gate.

There was a trace of amazement in Zhang Jing's eyes.

Wasn't he leaving the secret realm?

But the scene before him, no matter how he looked, was completely disconnected from the square outside the secret realm.

Just as he was wondering.

"Junior Brother, I didn't expect that after just a few days, you have grown so much. Haha, I'm impressed!"

A gentle voice suddenly sounded by his side.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.

He was too familiar with this voice.

The next moment.

He looked directly towards the source of the voice and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Feng, you're joking. We haven't seen each other in over thirty years."

"Haha, for us, whether it's a few decades or a few days, it doesn't make much difference. You, junior brother, will gradually get used to it."

Feng Wuyu looked at Zhang Jing, jokingly.

However, within the depths of his eyes, a hint of shock involuntarily rose.

His junior brother...

Had actually mastered all thirty-six Dao Intent required for the Foundation Establishment of the Primitive Genesis World!

Moreover, he actually managed to directly integrate these thirty-six Dao Intent.

The key point is, it only took his Junior Brother over thirty years. This far exceeded the time interval set by their master!

Such talent—

Perhaps... he might become a terrifying existence who managed to cultivate the Primitive Genesis World Dao to its end.

Feng Wuyu was left speechless.

No wonder his junior brother chose the Primitive Genesis World Dao so confidently in front of their master. No wonder their master wanted to admit him as his official disciple so early, even asking for a chance for him to comprehend the immortal 'Jiaoyun' in the core of the secret realm.

No wonder...

On the opposite side.

Zhang Jing slowly walked behind Feng Wuyu.

The scenery in this space instantly became clearly visible.

In sight.

Eight figures were sitting quietly around them with terrifying phenomena vaguely appearing behind them. It looked extremely daunting.

Seeming to feel Zhang Jing's gaze.

Just within an instant.

Several eyes of either inquiry, curiosity or interest fell lightly upon Zhang Jing.

Seeing this scene.

"Haha," Feng Wuyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Let me introduce you all. This is Junior Brother Zhang Jing."

"After returning to the Taoist Door this time, he will officially be admitted under the tutelage of our Master Venerable Yuanming and become the true disciple of the Boundless Taiyi Taoist Gate."
