Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Moreover, if one becomes the ultimate child of luck movement, the Tao Sect and the Mysterious Yellow World also have other rewards."

Upon stating this.

True Monarch Yuanming could not help but express a playful smile.

"Of course, this is the responsibility of your Senior Brothers and Sisters in the Unity Realm Stage. As for you, my disciple, your sole task upon venturing into the Great Vast World is to seize as many primordial resources possible and gain insights into the various Primordial Dao's. However you view it, it's both a tribulation and an opportunity!"

After hearing this.

Zhang Jing's eyes shown with new determination.

Origin Crystals, Innate Divine Items, or even Primordial Treasures?

Regardless of the nature of the reward, Zhang Jing found them irresistible.

"Perhaps this foray into the Great Vast World will be enough to gather all the Primordial Divine Items I need to explore and evolve the thirty-six planes of my Original Realm? Even better, can I select a few? I'll be able to create the most suitable thirty-six planes for my Original Realm."

"This opportunity can't be missed!"

There was a strong conviction in Zhang Jing's eyes.

The only cause for concern now is — a True Spirit incarnation?!

How much risk does that involve?

He wasn't sure yet.

After all, the master had just said that the Great Vast World was currently entering into a tribulation.

The dangers within could be imagined.

Thinking till this point.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but turn to True Monarch Yuanming:

"Master, may I ask, what exactly is True Spirit incarnation?"

"The so-called True Spirit incarnation is the Tao Sect transporting a strand of True Spirit from you and the other three hundred sixty-five disciples, bearing memories, to descend into the beings of the Great Vast World. If unluckily you die in the Great Vast World, your True Spirit will carry the gains from the Great Vast World back to the Tao Sect."

True Monarch Yuanming responded with a smile.

Is that so?

An understanding flashed across Zhang Jing's eyes.

Upon realizing, he looked at his master and resolutely responded:

"Disciple is willing to participate!"

"Good! Then go back and prepare well. Ideally, you should step into the Dharma Phase Realm before the True Spirit descends into the Great Vast World. The higher your cultivation, the deeper you can comprehend the principles of the Dao, and consequently... the more substantial your gains will be in the Great Vast World."

"Thank you for your reminder, master, the disciple will remember. By the way, master, I—"

It seemed like something hit his mind.

Zhang Jing started to speak but then stopped, his face troubled.

Seeing this.

A gentle smile appeared on the face of True Monarch Yuanming who reminded him again:

"You don't need to be reserved with me."

Zhang Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath before summoning his courage to ask:

"Disciple wishes to journey outside the Cave Heaven in the near future, select a site in Clear Sky Xuanming Heaven, and establish a cultivation ground. Disciple hopes that master could consent to this."

"Establish a cultivation ground? That's also a good idea."

Hearing Zhang Jing's request.

True Monarch Yuanming nodded his head as if he had understood something.

The next moment.

"Since you, my disciple, have this idea, go for it. If you find a suitable spot, just communicate directly with the Flowing Light Immortal Realm."

"And if you think finding a spiritual place is difficult, your fellow Senior Brother and Senior Sister disciples can also lend you a hand."

These were the earnest instructions of True Monarch Yuanming.

"Thank you, Master; I will remember this."

...

Time slowly passed.

Near the spiritual spring in the heart of the Immortal Island.

The big-headed, small-bodied Lu Thirty-Eight was busy watering the many Immortal Roots and Spirit Plants around him, including the Tri-Sun Vine Peach Tree, all the while humming a melody he learned from the Welcoming Immortal Banquet.

He looked extremely cheerful.

Not far from him.

Zhang Jing was sitting on a bamboo chair, his eyes unwaveringly focused on the jade scroll in his hands, his Divine Sense completely concentrated on it.

Every moment, a majestic amount of information poured into his heart.

It then transformed into a part of Zhang Jing's profound foundation.

The fusion of various Dao Intent, the transformation of the Tao Foundation, the creation of Divine Golden Elixir, the construction of manifold Dharma Phases, the Combining Dao tribulations...

Although it was just a small jade scroll,

The information it contained was as vast as a sea, even if a cultivator spent a lifetime, they might not be able to finish reading it.

It revealed the essence of Golden Core, Dharma Phase, and Combining Dao, the three realms.

After a long time.

His gaze gently moved away from the jade manual in his hand.

Exhale——

Zhang Jing couldn't help but let out a turbid breath.

"The Cave Heaven Metamorphosis Secret is a priceless treasure, whether for an individual or a power. Hehe, it's always good to have a master."

Afterwards.

Seemingly thinking of something.

A streak of light flashed, and Zhang Jing's figure disappeared instantly.

...

Inside the cultivation room.

"Since I decided to go out of the Cave Heaven to find spiritual land, the corresponding preparations must be made. Now after advancing to the Golden Core Realm, I should be able to refine some of those Immortal and Spiritual treasures."

"Right, the Supreme Red Career Immortal Demon Sword also needs to be cultivated."

A touch of anticipation flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

A bronze Immortal chain about an inch long and a black small banner that is only palm-sized quietly appeared in his hand.

The bronze Immortal chain was given to him by Senior Brother Feng Wuyu when he first entered the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven.

It's called the Immortal Binding Chain, stained with Immortal Blood, which is extremely terrifying in power.

After gathering dust for nearly fifty years in Zhang Jing's hands.

It finally saw the light of the day.

And that small black banner, known as the Black Water Flag of Xuanming, is an inferior Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

It was given by one of the twelve Heavenly True Monarchs, True Monarch Mingyou, when he was in the Tao Sect Ancestral Court.

...

...

After losing track of time in cultivation.

Nine years passed in a flash.

Inside the cultivation room.

Zhang Jing slowly opened his eyes, and his aura surged abruptly.

With a thought.

Clank, clank——

The sound of metal clashing instantly rang out, and a bronze lock chain exuding a terrifyingly oppressive and sealing aura like a spirit snake extended from behind Zhang Jing.

In an instant.

Under the cover of this oppressive and sealing aura.

The Immortal spirit qi inside the palace was instantly locked down, and the air turned into a copper wall and iron barrier.

"A great treasure!"

A flash of delight appeared in Zhang Jing's eyes.

This Immortal Binding Chain was indeed a terrifying Immortal Treasure given by Senior Brother Feng Wuyu. Even though he could only refine a wisp of it at present, it had shown an extremely terrifying power.

However...

Strong power means terrifying mana consumption.

Only by refining the void in the Void Furnace of his Innate Divine Ability Taiyi Heavenly Spirits' Original Realm, providing him with a vast quantity of mana every moment, could he barely meet it.

"When the first Original Realm is completely developed, by then a small world could support the initiation of this Immortal Binding Chain."

Zhang Jing thought to himself.

Time slowly passed.

Three days later.

Zhang Jing called Thirty-Eight.

"Thirty-Eight, go back and get ready to accompany me to leave the Cave Heaven and take a trip to the Eastern Pole Continent below."

While speaking.

He thought of the earlier admonition from Senior Brother Feng Wuyu.

After contemplating.

Zhang Jing ultimately decided to bring Thirty-Eight along for a little stroll.

From tranquility to motion.

This trip can be considered a change in the form of cultivation.

Moreover, after so many years in the Qingxiao Xuanming Heaven, it's regrettable that he hasn't taken the time to appreciate the scenery of the Heavenly Realm.
