Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

A line of small characters emerged before his eyes.

[Zhang Jing (Disciple officially listed under Grand Brightness Cave Heaven): Luck movement of 4 billion, 257 million and 500 thousand]

Looking at the suddenly shortened luck movement.

Zhang Jing's heart ached slightly as he felt a momentary daze.

However, in the blink of an eye.

Ten billion, equivalent to the total luck movement rewards a talent ranked hundredth in the previous Jiaoyun Secret Realm had painstakingly acquired, were gone just like that.

It was really extravagant.

Moreover… After some thought, Zhang Jing soon realized that compared to the luck movement expended in leveling up his skills through grinding experience and transforming his Immortal Seed.

The luck movement spent on obtaining Divine Skills was just a small part of it.

As for the idea of not buying River of Time Golden Sand or River of Time Gold Crystals for grinding experience but painstakingly leveling up on his own.

This thought was immediately dismissed by Zhang Jing right after it appeared.

No other reason, but time!

Perhaps in the future, when his cultivation reaches a realm of immortal longevity like his Master.

He might be able to take tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to study a Divine Skill Method, gradually accumulating experience to upgrade.

But… now is not the time!

Thinking of this.

Zhang Jing's gaze immediately fell upon the jade slip in his hand.

His fingers gently caressed it.

The jade slip was pure white and smooth, with a faint immortal light hanging around it, making it look extraordinary.

No matter how hard he tried.

He could not inflict even a slight damage on it; its strength and resistance could be regarded as terrifying.

"As befitting a legacy worth ten billion, the specifications are not at all like those of the Tao Intent legacies I had before."

Zhang Jing thought to himself.

For a moment, he felt the weight of what he held in his hand.

Afterwards.

He saw him take a deep breath and solemnly put away the jade slip.

"Now is a good time to look into how the many Divine Skills and Immortal Law legacies collected within the Tao Sect Secret Realm are divided into grades."

A gleam flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

The next moment.

The Dao mark of Chaos at the center of his eyebrows manifested again, with his mind once again connecting the immense consciousness of the Tao Sect Secret Realm.

In an instant.

Three huge stars slowly descended.

...

Four hours later.

"The many Dharma Doors all fall into Minor Divine Skills, Great Divine Power, Supreme Divine Power and even Great Dao Divine Skills… Based on factors such as their grade, power, and Tao Intent contained within, the Human Race roughly divided all legacies into nine grades. Among them, Grade 1 is the highest while Grade 9 is the lowest."

"Apart from these, there are also drops of ungraded legacies."

A light of understanding flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

That's right! There really is a classification system similar to the nine grades.

Those ungraded legacies, according to his estimation, should be the Dharma doors corresponding to the Dharma Seeds he possesses.

Although these ungraded Dharma Doors also have their own degrees of strength and weakness.

But they were all classified by the Human Race of the various Heavenly Realms into the category of ungraded mainstream.

Even the top-grade cultivation method, which he had risked his life to obtain in the Lower Realm, was no exception.

Correspondingly.

The graded ones… belong to Immortal Seeds!

"The lowest three grades, all belong to the category of Minor Divine Skills. Accounting for ninety-nine percent of all the Human Race legacies."

"Based on the strength of the legacy, the value varies from several hundred million to ten billion luck movement. Generally speaking, those below one billion are Grade 9, those from one billion to three billion are deemed Grade 8, and those from three billion to ten billion are Grade 7."

Clarity gradually dawned in Zhang Jing's mind.

Of course.

He also knew that this was just a rough classification method for legacy grades. It's not that the higher the grade, the higher the corresponding value will be.

Just like Divine Skill legacies related to cultivation and realization, they can't simply be compared to attack-class Divine Skills.

And in the Tao Sect Secret Realm.

There are more than thousands of Divine Skill Methods!

"I still have to look at the specific prices!"

Zhang Jing assured himself firmly.

However—

A peculiar expression suddenly appeared on his face.

With a glance like this… it seemed that the most valuable thing he possessed was probably the Supreme Red Career Immortal Demon Sword, which he had just received from his teacher, the Seven Desire God King.

At the very least, it should be a Great Divine Powers of Mid-Grade 3.

As for High-Grade 3—according to Zhang Jing's understanding just now, it probably doesn't reach.

"What a pity it can't be sold!"

Zhang Jing shook his head.

Moreover, to this point.

He finally understood why the Derivative World of Primitive Genesis was so highly esteemed.

After all, the Innate Primal Immortal Light is a truly powerful Great Divine Power!

And this is just a Divine Power that cultivators from the Derivative World can naturally condense when they initially enter the Golden Core Realm.

Not to mention the other nine Great Divine Powers Practice Methods.

Coming back to reality.

As though he thought of something, Zhang Jing's mind stirred.

In an instant.

A somewhat ethereal figure slowly appeared next to him.

"The junior has seen the adult, dare to ask if the adult has any problems that he needs help with?"

The suddenly appearing elderly man asked with a chuckle.

"Why can't I find the Middle Grade 3 and Upper Grade 3 legacies in this Tao Sect Secret Realm? Could it be that they are not here?"

Zhang Jing asked directly.

Just after learning that many legacies were divided into nine grades and ten levels, he was surprised to find that he couldn't find even one Middle Grade 3 legacy.

As for the Upper Grade 3 legacies, needless to say.

On the other side.

"Replying to the adult, the Middle Grade 3 legacies are all on the upper floor, where your current authority does not allow you to go."

Pause.

The elderly man continued, "If the adult wants to enter the upper floor of the Tao Sect Secret Realm, you need to apply to the Tao Sect in advance. May I ask if the adult has any other questions?"

"No more, thank you for your clarification."

Zhang Jing said with a smile.

"You're too kind, sir. It's part of my duty," the elderly man said with a slight smile, his figure slowly fading away.

On the spot.

Zhang Jing's expression returned to calmness.

"Insufficient authority? I suppose True Disciples wouldn't have this restriction, right?"

He couldn't help but recall Senior Brother Feng Wuyu's explanation about True Disciples, he guessed.

The next instant.

His figure slowly disappeared from the Tao Sect Secret Realm.

...

Inside the cultivation room at the center of the Cave Heaven Immortal Island.

Zhang Jing sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes half-closed.

In front of him.

That very 24 Heavens Divine Skills legacy jade slip, which he had purchased from the Tao Sect Secret Realm, was floating conspicuously.

At this moment.

It was as if there was an invisible thread, linking Zhang Jing and the jade slip, making their auras blend into one.

Breathe——in——out——

Gradually.

A trace of a subtle intent of space creation filled the entire cultivation room.

No one knew how much time had passed.

In the center of the Mud Pill Palace.

The Mysterious Jade Token trembled slightly.

[Twenty-Four Heavens·Uninitiated (0/9999)]

Zhang Jing abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of realization appearing in his gaze.

The so-called Twenty-Four Heavens refers to the creation of twenty-four layers of outer space heavens, drawing infinite amounts of heaven and earth's aura, and various divine lights to assist oneself.

It can be used for cultivating and attacking.

Its mystery is profound, and its applications are limitless.

Just by looking at the exchange purchase price, one can tell that this Divine Skill is a legacy ranked among the top of the ninth grade.

It's only half a step away from reaching the eighth grade.

His gaze shifted.

"The cultivation initiation only requires less than ten thousand experience points? That's not too bad."

Zhang Jing thought so.

Although this amount of experience points is still quite high, it looks quite normal compared to the Supreme Red Career Immortal Demon Sword.

After all, it is the legacy of an entry-level Immortal Way Divine Skill.

It's normal for upgrades to be difficult.

He kept reassuring himself.

Then.

As if he thought of something, Zhang Jing stretched out his hand, and a VIP Gold Bamboo from the All Heavens Auction House appeared immediately.

Now that the legacy was in his hands.

It was time to consider the matter of grinding experience points.

With a wave of his mind.

Suddenly, five auction informations about River of Time Gold Crystal appeared in front of him.

...

...

River of Time Gold Crystal (six liang)

Note: A peculiar treasure crystal from the Secret Realm "Extreme River of Time", it contains a massive amount of time power within, which can be used for cultivating Divine Skill Methods or comprehending the way of time.

Current bidding price: 93 million luck movement

Direct transaction price: 200 million luck movement

Remaining bidding time: seven days

...

River of Time Gold Crystal (one pound, nine liang, seven qian)

Note: ...

Current bidding price: 330 million luck movement

Direct transaction price: 600 million luck movement

Remaining bidding time: Ten years and nine months

...

...

His gaze swept over the only five auction informations about River of Time Gold Crystal.

Zhang Jing's face suddenly became serious.

Last time when he checked the auction information of River of Time Gold Crystal, he found that only a few people were selling it.

And now when he looked at it again.

There were still only a few spare River of Time Gold Crystals.

Compared with River of Time Golden Sand, it was completely different.

What this implied was self-evident.

Either River of Time Gold Crystal is extremely difficult to obtain, or it is so valuable that the owners themselves feel insufficient to use.

More likely, it is a combination of both.

But no matter which situation it is.

Zhang Jing was constantly reminded to seize each auction opportunity.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

Zhang Jing's gaze eventually locked on that River of Time Gold Crystal that weighed only six liang.

First, its auction was about to end.

Second, it was the cheapest, and he could buy it first to give it a try.

If this River of Time Gold Crystal isn't effective in grinding skill experience, then he would have to find another method.

With that thought in mind.

Zhang Jing's gaze once again fell on the constantly rising price of this River of Time Gold Crystal, his eyes becoming deep.

...

Time quietly passed.

This day.

Zhang Jing, sitting on the meditation mat, slowly opened his eyes, then sighed.

The six terrible Tao Intents such as Universe Devouring Snake, and Quiet Annihilating Vermilion Bird, which were entwined around his body, began to fade away bit by bit.

Inside the Mud Pill Palace, the Mysterious Jade Token was flickering uncertainly.

[Twenty-Four Heavens · Not yet initiated (517/9999)]

Seven days have passed unconsciously.

In these seven days.

Zhang Jing was keeping an eye on the auction of the River of Time Gold Crystal, but didn't bid, on the other hand, he attempted to cultivate the Twenty-Four Heavens Divine Skill he had just obtained.

As for the progress.

It was all as expected.

After all, whether the Dao Yuan Qingyun Immortal Seed was activated or not, the cultivation results were completely different.

The only pity was that with his current cultivation, it was really hard for him to maintain Dao Yuan Qingyun for a long period of time.

"Being able to accumulate about seventy experience points in a day is already pretty good, after all it's an entry-level Divine Skill."

Zhang Jing thought secretly.

If he continued at this speed, he would need less than half a year to initiate the Twenty-Four Heavens.

According to his understanding.

This kind of cultivation speed is very threatening, no matter who it's on.

However... it's not enough, not nearly enough!

Zhang Jing's eyes slightly constricted.

This would not achieve his goal of quickly upgrading the Twenty-Four Heavens skill to Immortal Seed.

So...

He lowered his head, looking at the VIP Gold Bamboo of the All Realms Auction House in his hand.

River of Time Gold Crystal (six liang)

Note: ...

Current bidding price: 110.2 million luck movement

Direct transaction price: 200 million luck movement

Remaining auction time: one hour

...

"I still need to grind experience!" A look of helplessness flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

As the end of the auction approached.

The prices began to fluctuate wildly.

Obviously.

Many people think the same as Zhang Jing, they all understand that the previous bidding has no meaning, so they all start to exert their strength at this time.

As for the direct transaction price.

No one wanted to be that fool.

Tap, tap!

Zhang Jing tapped his finger on his knee, his gaze fixed on the fluctuating bidding price, his face calm as ever.

He knew.

It's not yet time to bid.

Time passed bit by bit.

With only a few breaths left until the end, the change in the bidding price had already stopped.

"Now!"

The tapping sound echoing in the cultivation room suddenly disappeared.

Without any hesitation.

"One hundred and twenty five million!"

After the price was announced, Zhang Jing stared at the auction without blinking an eye.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

At the last moment of the auction, it became quiet, and all was silent.

In the end.

A familiar whirlpool appeared in front of him.

Then a grey Immortal Crystal as big as a nail slowly flew out, carrying an extremely rich aura of time.

Woosh, woosh...

Zhang Jing's gaze involuntarily looked at the grey Immortal Crystal, and seemingly, an enormous river that transcended endless chaotic void world appeared in front of his eyes.

"Is this the River of Time Gold Crystal?"
