Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"There are only two or three months left, which is not enough time to gain any insights from this Immortal Proud Sun."

As he sat cross-legged atop the mountain, Zhang Jing's eyes flashed with resolve.

The six-layered Dao Yuan Qingyun above him gradually descended and ultimately transformed into an Immortal glow, returning to the Mud Pill Palace where it floated quietly.

His mind followed the Qingyun Immortal Seed and also arrived at the Mud Pill Palace.

And then...

Zhang Jing subconsciously glanced towards the mysterious Jade Talisman at the center of the area.

…

Immortal Seeds:

[Ninth Grade Immortal Seed: Dao Yuan Qingyun]

Dharma Seeds:

[Top Level Mystic Seed: Taiyin Sea Dragon Qi devourer]

[Mid-Level Mystical Seed: Duobao River]

[Mid-Level Mystical Seed: Nine Yan Yuan Ling Legal Seal]

Cultivation Method:

[Primitive Genesis· Level 1 (4197/1,000,000)]

Skills characteristic: Fusion Dao Creation (Immortal)

[Supreme Red Career Immortal Demon Sword· Not yet started (0/100,000)]

…

…

"Has this legacy been categorized under Cultivation Method by the Jade Talisman?"

Zhang Jing's eyes flickered with surprise but quickly returned to normal.

Upon careful thought...

The Supreme Red Career Immortal Demon Sword indeed counts as a Cultivation Method—somewhat similar to the ancient immortal of Primitive Genesis in certain aspects.

Both are about refining one's own destined magical treasure.

Only...

This Divine Skill method's legacy simply specifies a particular magical treasure.

While it may not carry the nearly infinite potential of the Primitive Genesis ancient immortal method, the prowess of that demon sword is well known to Zhang Jing.

The better choice depends on perspective.

For those with average talent, the Supreme Red Career Immortal Demon Sword is obviously more suitable.

Zhang Jing shifted his gaze slightly.

The colossal experience points listed underneath the Skills suddenly assailed his vision.

One hundred thousand!

One million!

He suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

"Another big spender of experience points, on top of the Primitive Genesis...The five billion points of luck movement reward for participating in the Jiaoyun Realm seem far from sufficient."

"Not right, after returning to the Taoist Door, there's also a Twenty-Four Heavens Divine Skill that needs to be purchased and upgraded."

Everything before him suddenly went dark.

…

Before long...

Feng Wuyu's figure suddenly appeared not far from Zhang Jing.

"Junior Brother, you——"

A voice filled with astonishment, disbelief, and happiness abruptly sounded, cutting off halfway.

After sensing the wisp of the Dao of Karmic Fire yet to completely dissipate from Zhang Jing's body...

Feng Wuyu immediately had his answer.

There wasn't the need to ask then.

The slight unfamiliar intent fluctuations he just sensed must have been emitted unintentionally by his junior brother while comprehending the original Dao of Karmic Fire of a divine monarch.

He sighed softly.

A touch of astonishment flashed through his eyes as he looked towards Zhang Jing.

The Dao of Karmic Fire, which the God of Seven Desires used to achieve the Immortal Golden Dao Fruit—was it... been comprehended by his junior brother to get a hint of true intent from its heritage?

Something that sounded as easy as child's play...

Had just plainly occurred right before his eyes.

At this moment...

As to why the Master would prepare such an initiation gift for his junior brother...

It seemed that Feng Wuyu vaguely understood something.

"All of this... Is it within Master's control?" He muttered to himself.

And at this moment...

The spirit of the Secret Realm appeared quietly and then instantly froze in place, just like Feng Wuyu before.

The moment it laid eyes on Zhang Jing...

It understood everything.

"The Great Dao of my Master... The Great Dao of my Master..."

The Spirit of the Secret Realm repeated in its mind, its face filled with incredulity.

Moreover, there was a hint of reverence.

It no longer considered how a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm managed to accomplish this.

Because the question now was...

The core area of this Jiaoyun Realm...

Was historically its master's testing ground.

Following the usual rules, since Zhang Jing had grasped a hint of his master's Dao tradition, he should be considered his master's disciple.

It would have to address him as... young master!

However...

He clearly couldn't be the master's disciple.

The Spirit of the Secret Realm was momentarily flustered, unsure of what to do next.

This was the first time it had encountered such a situation.

Time slowly passed.

Feng Wuyu took a deep breath to gather his thoughts, then looked at Zhang Jing with a smile, expressing admiration:

"Junior Brother, congratulations! I didn't expect you to truly be able to comprehend a legacy of true divine skills from the God King's Karmic Fire Dao."

Elsewhere.

"Zhang Jing, congratulations!"

The Spirit also congratulated him.

There was an added thread of respect in his tone compared to before.

It almost blurted out the term 'young master'. Fortunately, it caught itself in time, avoiding an awkward situation.

Across from them.

Zhang Jing saw Senior Brother and the Spirit of the Secret Realm.

He promptly got up and replied with laughter:

"Ha-ha, Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance."

Afterward.

He looked at the Spirit of the Secret Realm:

"And also, Jiaoyun, I appreciate your help."

"No need to thank me, it was just a little help." The Spirit waved its hand dismissively, smiling warmly.

After the pleasantries.

Zhang Jing was dragged by an excited Feng Wuyu to discuss the insights gained from understanding the Immortal sun.

Of course.

This was not because Feng had intentions of acquiring knowledge from Zhang Jing about the inheritance of Karmic Fire Dao. He was purely amazed by his talent for comprehension.

As a disciple of True Monarch Yuanming.

Feng Wuyu understood better than anyone.

The inheritances of these powerhouses, unless there are enough causes, or get the consent of the original owner, they should not be studied lightly.

And they wouldn't be able to learn them!

"Looks like Senior Brother has gained a lot from this."

"Eh, I took some advantage from the Junior Brother, haha."

"Senior Brother is being modest."

Looking at the departing figures of Zhang Jing and Feng Wuyu.

The whispering voices of the two men echoed in the ears.

The Spirit of the Secret Realm slowly disappeared, a confused look on its face.

"What does this mean? Could it be that my owner's decree was mainly for Zhang Jing of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and not Immortal Feng of the Unity Realm Stage?"

...

Infinite distance outside the domain.

"Ha-ha, God king, do you find my disciple acceptable?"

Seeing Zhang Jing successfully comprehend a powerful set of divine skill methods from the original Karmic Fire Dao of Seven Desire God King's, True Monarch Yuanming couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Next to him.

"That Qingyun...it seems this youngster has great luck movement. Such a extraordinary encounter even though at a low stage. His ambition seems high, he may not be unable to deduce a complete Great Dao and realize the Golden Immortal Dao fruit."

Seven Desire God King praised.

In the middle of their conversation.

True Monarch Yuanming seemed to think of something and suddenly said with a smile:

"God King, this little fellow has practiced your original Karmic Fire Dao. Although he is my disciple, you can consider him as half of yours."

After a moment of pause.

"Ha-ha, so you have been waiting for me here, True Yang."

The God King immediately laughed and scolded, and then nodded approvingly:

"Alright, this little guy was able to practice the Supreme Red Profession Slashing Immortal Demon Sword, although he got help from Qingyun, he can be considered destined with me. Let's have a little master-disciple karma."

...

Not long after.

The Spirit of the Secret Realm seemed to sense something and hurriedly knelt down, reaching out his hands to accept a decree with respect.

The next moment.

Its pupils shrank and it exclaimed:

"The young master? Zhang Jing!"

...

Time flew by and three months passed in a blink of an eye.

At the top of a certain peak.

Zhang Jing and Feng Wuyu stood up together, both their faces revealing a bright smile.

Obviously.

Both men were very satisfied with their rewards this time.

Boom——

With the arrival of a certain moment.

A short distance in front of the two men.

An ancient and heavy stone gate slowly appeared, and behind the gate, they can vaguely see the square outside the Jiaoyun Secret Realm.

At first glance.

There were only a few cultivators standing there, which was a lot less lively than when the Jiaoyun Secret Realm was first opened three years ago.

"Ha-ha, we're finally going back. If you're free, Junior Brother, why don't you come back to the Tao Sect with me?"

Feng Wuyu smiled and looked at Zhang Jing.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Zhang Jing gratefully replied.

"We're brothers, there's no need to be polite."

But at that moment.

The figure of the Spirit of the Secret Realm suddenly appeared behind Zhang Jing, calling out:

"Please hold on, young master!"
