Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Senior Brother, could it be that the master has returned?"

Zhang Jing held onto his excitement and asked in a calm tone, a hint of certainty embedded in his voice.

Although he had spent all this while cultivating,

he did not forget to learn about the Tao Sect's ancestral court.

What Zhang Jing knew was,

the ancestral court of the Tao Sect was located within Yuhua Mountain, the progenitor of all veins in the Clear Celestial Ming Sky.

Traces of the Dao were scattered everywhere, and even the primordial energy, chaotic and unfathomable, from when the Clear Celestial Ming Sky was first created lingered.

Ordinary Disciples of the Dao are not allowed in, otherwise they face the peril of perishing.

Except under two circumstances.

The first is when an ancestral master from the Tao Sect returned from the endless chaos of the void, or when a Heavenly True Monarch whimsically lectures at the ancestral court.

This would provide Tao disciples with an opportunity to enter the ancestral court.

But of course,

only the numerous true teachings, as well as the vast number of Unity Realm Stage disciples across the Blessed Land, and Dharma World within the Tao Sect are allowed to enter.

The second would be the advancement of a disciple into a True Teaching!

Zhang Jing hadn't heard recently of an ancestral master returning, nor of a True Monarch who wished to lecture.

Therefore, naturally,

Senior Brother Feng Wuyu taking him to the ancestral court only left the second possibility.

On the other hand,

"Haha, that's right, all the uncles have already arrived. The master specifically sent me to take you to the ancestral court."

Having said this,

a hint of recollection flashed in Feng Wuyu's eyes, followed by a sigh,

"Junior brother, the scene when I was ordered to pick you up from the Lower Realm and bring you to the Clear Celestial Ming Sky seems like it just happened yesterday. Forty years, to us, is but a blink of an eye, but who would have thought that you, junior brother, are already to become an official direct disciple of the master."

"Senior brother, it's merely good fortune."

Zhang Jing replied modestly.

"Fortune...In the core of Jiaoyun Secret Realm, you gained insights into the divine skills of the Divine Monarch from the immortal Yang, and got taken as a half-disciple by him. Is that also fortune?"

Feng Wuyu stared at his junior brother's eyes with an equivocal expression on his face.

"Senior Brother, you—"

Zhang Jing raised his head in surprise.

He remembered that he had not mentioned worshipping the Divine Monarch as a master to the senior brother in front of him.

But soon, he figured that the spirit of the secret realm had referred to him as "young master", and Zhang Jing then felt relieved.

"Ha ha, Junior Brother, there's no need for surprise, the Divine Command of the Karmic Fire in your hand is the symbol of the Divine Monarch's disciple."

Feng Wuyu said enviously,

"With this thing, when you step into the Unity Realm and venture into foreign domains, there won't be many spirits who dare to provoke you. The Divine Monarch's prestige, tsk tsk!"

After finishing his words,

his face suddenly became serious, as though he had thought of something,

"Alright, Junior Brother, do you have any pressing matters at hand? If not, we should depart now. We would need some time to travel."

"Junior Brother doesn't have any urgent affairs, although it's a bother to Senior Brother again."

Zhang Jing said with a smile.

"You..." Feng Wuyu shook his head.

The next moment,

a bronze divine light suddenly shot straight into the sky, disappearing in a blink into the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven.

...

Not far from Zhang Jing, on an Immortal Island,

only when the bronze divine light disappeared from the Cave Heaven,

did a suppressed voice finally speak,

"Strange! Why has Senior Brother Feng Wuyu from the Nine Domains lineage appeared in the Cave Heaven so many times in recent months?"

"Even the elder sister unveiled herself unexpectedly once."

"Both of them are indeed official direct disciples of the True Monarch; could it be that something major is about to happen?"

"That welcoming feast—"

...

In the boundless celestial void,

a seemingly unremarkable bronze divine light was woefully moving at the terrifying speed of tens of thousands of miles per instant, forcefully rushing toward the central region of the Clear Celestial Ming Sky.

Wherever it passed,

traces of bronze truth were diffused, which were then quickly cleansed by a certain force.

At this moment,

in the bronze divine light,

Zhang Jing was staring without blinking at the rapidly passing scenery beneath him.

Boundless territories, all within his field of vision.

Innumerable cities came together to form infinite kingdoms.

Among them were mortals, as well as immortal countries.

Vein mountains towered, rivers endlessly flowed, traveled over millions of miles, and poured into each lake and ocean.

In the vast wilderness,

there was an infinite primeval forest, with vast plains spanning millions of miles, or desert, or depths.

There were not a few monstrous figures thousands of feet high, roaming the land, ceaselessly conquering. There were giant divine spirits, as well as fierce beasts and precious birds, differing in various ways.

Immortal light surged, pointed directly at the Big Dipper.

What a magnificent view of the competition of billions of living beings!

"This is Clear Celestial Ming Sky, one of the seven heavenly realms of the Human Race?" Zhang Jing's eyes were full of shock.

Next to him,

noticing the expression on Zhang Jing's face, Feng Wuyu patiently explained,

"Junior Brother, the area below us is one of the five continents, the Eastern Pole Continent, in our Clear Celestial Ming Sky. My dao ground is there. It's very large, probably equivalent to two and a half Juntian Domains."

"Just a single continent can match two and a half Juntian Domains?"

Zhang Jing's gaze suddenly petrified.

...

After an unknown period of time.

A majestic divine mountain that directly reached the deepest part of the sky came into view, like a pillar holding up heaven and earth.

"We're here, Junior Brother."

Feng Wuyu smiled.

The words seemed calm, but his eyes overflowed with awe.

After all, that was the backbone of the Heavenly Realm, the ancestor of all veins.

Yuhua Mountain!

The next instant,

the bronze divine light rapidly descended toward the mountain below.
