Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"What is that?"

With a subconscious rub of his eyes, the white-clad Senior Brother Jun stared intently at the purple Taoist mark at the forehead of Lu 38.

This sort of Taoist mark was not foreign to him.

Within the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate, all cultivators who practiced the Primitive Genesis would have it. It's an external manifestation of the Primitive True Intent power.

Besides, it's not exclusive to cultivators within the Primitive Genesis sect line.

Other eight sect lines,

Like the Yuan Magnetic Sea, Chaos Ruins, Zhouguang Mother River, et cetera, also have corresponding Taoist marks.

However,

The supreme and noble hint of purple is not included.

If his memory serves him right—

"True Teaching!"

Senior Brother Jun felt a jolt in his heart.

He could guarantee that he was not mistaken, the Taoist mark on the forehead of this animal was indeed the mark of the Tao Sect's True Teaching.

In other words,

He represents a True Teaching this time.

So who could this unfamiliar True Teaching be?

'My master is currently in closed-door cultivation, and has specially sent me over, hope all the masters here won't mind.'

Lu 38's words echoed again in his ears.

A youthful face fleetingly flashed in his mind.

Seeming to have realised something,

Senior Brother Jun's eyes grew bigger and bigger, feeling a chill spreading over his body suddenly.

"Zhang Jing? How could this be possible! Merely a Foundation Establishment Realm..."

He cried out in disbelief in his heart.

Things had developed to this point, completely beyond what Senior Brother Jun had anticipated, and had slipped away from his control.

He knew in his heart,

If the other party was merely a nominal disciple of True Monarch, then there wouldn't be any issues with his actions.

After all, they were at least nominal disciples of the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven. Even if the True Monarch knew about these petty squabbles, they wouldn't pay any attention.

But if the other party were of the True Teachings,

that would completely change the situation.

Even if he himself were of the Dharma Phase Realm, while the other party was merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm,

True Teaching is True Teaching!

Its dignity, how could it tolerate ordinary disciples, subordinate to the True Teachings, provoking it?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, Senior Brother Jun felt his consciousness becoming hazy, and his heart within his chest started pounding violently.

He had gotten himself into big trouble!

So he thought.

But then,

Seven more figures radiating with brilliant Immortal light appeared silently on the platform.

Five men and two women.

All of them had a magnificent Taoist mark on their foreheads that was faintly exuding a subtle hint of purple, reflecting their extraordinary nobility.

"It seems everyone has arrived, in that case, let the Welcoming Immortals Banquet begin."

On the platform,

Senior Sister Kong's cold eyes swept across the disciples from various Cave Heavens below, and then lingered on Lu 38 for a moment.

"Taking this opportunity, I have an announcement to make to all my junior brothers and sisters."

"A few months ago, under the witness of our uncles, Junior Brother Zhang Jing was successfully accepted as a formal disciple by our master, becoming the fifth official Direct Disciple, and also the ninth True Teaching of Grand Brightness Cave Heaven!"

As her words fell,

The originally quiet venue immediately fell into eerie silence.

Immediately after,

Boom——

The entire Immortal Island began to boil.

"Senior Brother Zhang Jing, this name sounds somewhat familiar?"

"There shouldn't be a second person in our Grand Brightness Cave Heaven named 'Zhang Jing', right?"

"Are you talking about him? But isn't he just at the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"..."

...

At this moment,

On the platform,

The eight True Disciples were divided into two distinct ranks. Seated in front were two men and two women, led by Senior Sister Kong and Feng Wuyu.

Clearly,

These four were the four official Direct Disciples of True Monarch Yuanming.

Behind them,

Four figures sat silently.

Although their auras were equally incredibly formidable, with endless Immortal light surrounding their bodies, with just a glance at the four figures in front, one could spot a clear distinction.

"Second Senior Brother, congratulations, congratulations. The line of the Nine Domains has gained another seat of True Teaching. And it's been officially accepted as a Direct Disciple by Master during the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Immortal Path is boundless."

Next to Feng Wuyu.

A seductive figure dressed in a red robe, revealing pearly teeth and speaking softly.

However, even though the voice is gentle.

There is unexpectedly no hint of joy or sorrow in her tone, making it impossible to discern her emotions.

"Haha, my Third Junior Sister overpraises. Junior Brother Zhang Jing still has a long way to go. I hope you can support him in the future."

"Senior Brother, you're being too modest. If our Fifth Junior Brother truly needs help, I will certainly do my best."

The woman in the red robe covered her mouth with a smile, her eyebrows revealing a terrifyingly alluring charm.

Meanwhile, in between their conversation.

The Senior Sister Kong, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly turned her head and locked her gaze on Feng Wuyu:

"Junior Brother Feng, once we settle matters here, we would like to ask you to take us to visit Junior Brother Zhang Jing. We will certainly offend some people when we discipline them using this opportunity. We seek your understanding."

"In addition."

A decree suddenly appeared in the hand of Senior Sister Kong as she said softly:

"As instructed by our master, the Fifth Junior Brother, being a True Disciple, his Immortal Island should be elevated to the higher void of the Cave Heaven."

Before Feng Wuyu had a chance to reply.

The voices of several other True Disciples reached his ears.

"Second Senior Brother, please also help me."

"Senior Brother, I'd also like to join you. I've always been curious about Junior Brother Zhang Jing, whose fame precedes him."

"By the way, Senior Brother, since you and Junior Brother Zhang Jing are so close, do you know what he likes?"

"Immortal artifacts, spiritual treasures, monsters, fairies, enigmatic rakshasas, or wealth and luck movement..."

...

Downstairs.

Lu Thirty-Eight looked around blankly.

Only to find that all he was met with were complex gazes filled with respect, goodwill, envy, and many other conflicting emotions.

This was completely different from when he had just arrived.

Moreover.

Even the terrifying man who had always made things difficult for him had changed his attitude.

No longer were there elements of indifference and arrogance.

In fact.

At this moment, he was even avoiding Lu Thirty-Eight's gaze.

How unbelievable!

"A True Disciple, my master has somehow become a True Disciple of the Boundless Taiyi Taoist Gate of the Human Race's immortal doctrine, hiss ..."

Thousands of thoughts raced through Lu Thirty-Eight's mind, and a sense of relief emerged.

The bloodline of the Nine-colored Deer holds information about the Human Race and the All-Heavens Myriads Spirits Camp.

He naturally understands how fearful the Boundless Taiyi Taoist Gate is.

And his master becoming a True Disciple of the gate, speaks for itself what it means.

"Hehe, I can walk sideways in the Heavenly Realm from now on!"

...

On the other side.

"Junior Brother Zhang Jing, a True Disciple?"

Xuan Yan and the others, along with the many disciples from their Lower Realm Nine Domains lineage, looked at each other with astonishment.

They seemed to be dazed by this sudden news.

After a long pause.

The atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Another True Disciple has emerged from their Lower Realm Nine Domains lineage, and he is even the Direct Disciple of the Cave Heaven Master, True Monarch Yuanming!

How could they not be excited?

"It seems that we need to change the way we refer to him."

Xuan Yan looked at Junior Brother Gu Yao by his side and laughed.

The delight was evident in her words.

...

Opposite.

"Senior Brother, this... I think we better not do this after all. You didn't tell me before that I'd be challenging a True Disciple in Foundation Establishment Realm."

The black-robed man who started it all lamented, cautiously suggesting.

This was a job he dared not to take!

Anyone who could become a True Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage must be a monstrous talent with excellent combat abilities.

Let alone whether he could win when suppressing his cultivation.

Just the huge gap in their statuses alone.

Even if he could win, he wouldn't dare to do so.

After all, what if payback comes in the future?

He was just a lowly cultivator at the Golden Core Stage. How could he bear the full-out revenge of a True Disciple? Even if that True Disciple was merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Standing next to the black-robed man.

The white-robed Senior Brother Jun remained silent, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

"After today's banquet, you will need to seek forgiveness from Junior Brother Zhang Jing. And then, go to my Immortal Island to reflect and repent for fifty years as a punishment."

A mysterious voice echoed in his mind.

Leaving him standing dumbfounded right on the spot.
