Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Hiss—such a terrifying slash!"

In the crowd of Loose Cultivators on the periphery, someone gradually came to their senses, belatedly sucking in a breath of cold air and exclaiming.

Even if quite some time had passed since.

Yet the trajectory of that slash continued to be deeply engraved within their minds, impossible to wipe away.

All of a sudden.

Someone seemed to remember something, looking towards the cultivators from Three Elements City surrounding them, and murmured:

"Are you really sure that fellow is a high-level cultivator in the Golden Core Realm?"

"Please tell me, which Golden Core Realm cultivator could show such power upon taking action? That's clearly an existence in the Dharma Phase Realm!"

Facing this question.

The multitude of Loose Cultivators from Three Elements City look at one another in dismay.

For a moment, they didn't know how to respond.

"Who exactly is this 'Young Master Yu'? Just a moment ago, that existence from Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate's Dongming Blessed Land seemed to be treating him with great respect."

An inquisitive voice surfaced.

Instantly driving people into deep contemplation.

At this moment.

In the crowd.

Four Golden Pill Realm Cultivators huddled together, with a black-robed man subtly appearing as their leader.

This man was none other than the cultivator who had been sitting next to Zhang Jing at the Ascension Banquet in the City Lord's Mansion of Three Elements City.

His gaze was locked tightly onto the position Zhang Jing was just in.

His mind couldn't help but be flooded with raging waves of shock.

"Was that... really Taoist Friend Zhang? Who exactly is he?!"

Thinking back to the things he'd initially said to the other party.

The black-robed man's old face flushed red.

He couldn't help but wish he could dig an immediate hole in the ground to bury himself.

...

Meanwhile.

"May I ask, senior brother, who was that person just now?"

The three individuals from the Yellow Sand Law Realm cautiously walked up to the golden-robed man, Huang Jiulong, and asked him respectfully.

Behind them.

Qi Lian Yang, who had recently joined the Tao Sect, surreptitiously perked up his ears and started to listen.

He was particularly concerned about this.

After all, he had just tried to recruit Young Master Yu on behalf of Three Elements City at the Ascension Banquet.

But who could have guessed.

The man looked like he was only at the Golden Core Realm, but when he truly took action, his might scared people to such an extent.

Even if it was their strongest Elder in the Dharma Phase Realm in Three Elements City, in terms of combat power, he's probably a far cry from him.

Qi Lian Yang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He had no doubts.

Back at the Ascension Banquet, if this Young Master Yu had chosen to lash out in anger there and then, in less than a moment, the whole of Three Elements City would have been reduced to rubble.

No one could have stopped him.

In the middle of the crowd.

The golden-robed Huang Jiulong recalled the scene of Zhang Jing's slash over and over in his mind, absorbed and immersed in the memory, unable to snap out of it.

It was only when one reached his level.

That you could slightly feel the true horror and profound mystery of that single slash.

It seemed to contain some extremely oppressive Great Dao principle.

What a pity —

Huang Jiulong's gaze gradually became clear, and disappointment and resentment surfaced on his face.

He couldn't comprehend even the slightest bit of it.

The feeling of knowing there was a treasure trove but leaving empty-handed was driving him crazy.

"If only this Senior Brother Zhang Jing from the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven could preach, how wonderful would that be! Wait, when senior brothers start a Taoist site, according to tradition, shouldn't there be some preaching?"

Huang Jiulong's eyes lit up.

Expectation surfaced on his face.

After a long while.

Coming back to his senses, Huang Jiulong saw the disciples who had gathered around him, and he suddenly remembered something, saying with a smile:

"That person who just entered the Blessed Land is a true disciple of the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven, our Senior Brother Zhang Jing. He came here because he took a fancy to this Blessed Land and wants to build a Taoist site here."

"Grand Brightness Cave Heaven! A true disciple!"

Upon hearing this.

The three of them exclaimed in unison.

Shock could be seen in their eyes.

They had unexpectedly encountered a legendary true disciple.

What extraordinary luck!

"Alas, we just didn't react and seize the opportunity to take the initiative to greet Senior Brother Zhang Jing, it's truly a sin. Otherwise, if we could be remembered by a true disciple, wouldn't our future path in the Immortal Way be –"

The man leading the trio was filled with regret.

The other two also unconsciously showed expressions of guilt on their faces.

Obviously.

They had completely missed the chance to strike up a conversation with a true disciple, whom they would never have the opportunity to approach ordinarily. In their hearts, it was a huge loss.

Not far behind them.

"True Disciple! Cave Heaven!"

Qi Lian Yang's eyes shrank.

'Young Master Yu' is actually a true disciple from Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate!

What on earth have I done...

At this moment.

Deep fear surged in Qi Lian Yang's heart.

But then.

"Er, Young Master, what are they referring to when they mention the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven and true disciples?"

Li Xie, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, asked curiously next to Qi Lian Yang.

His gaze swept over his brand-new subordinate.

Qi Lian Yang gave a simple explanation:

"Cave Heavens are the Taoist sites of Heavenly True Monarchs, and true disciples are... never mind, it's complicated to explain. Just understand it this way: true disciples are the disciples of those legendary Heavenly True Monarchs. They are the real big shots within the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate. With just one word, they can decide the fate of countless disciples from other sects!"

Upon hearing this.

Li Xie's expression froze instantly.

So, he had actually missed the chance to follow a big shot from a Taoist gate for cultivation?

At this moment.

He only felt a sharp pain in his chest.

If he had persisted a little more in the past, perhaps he could have moved the elder with his sincerity.

Wouldn't he be illustrious today?

And wouldn't his future prospects be limitless?

...

Across the distance of a dozen feet.

The long-browed man, the gentle woman, and City Lord Qi Lian, unconsciously looked at each other, immediately noticing the complex emotions flickering in each other's eyes.

There was anxiety, but there was even more excitement.

A True Disciple of the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate was about to establish his Dao training site here!

Do you know what that means?

The three of them had never been clearer.

This vast region will welcome its true ruler.

At the same time, all the included Immortal Way forces will embark on different destinies. This is an unprecedented change, where they may rise or perish, with risks and rewards coexisting.

Yet their three forces have seemingly already taken the initiative!

A subtle movement of divine sense began to circulate among the three.

"Let's form an alliance. Only by advancing and retreating together can we go a step further amidst these waves!"

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

In just an instant.

The three forces, who had been calculating against each other, scuffling for life or death, had become the most intimate partners.

And all of this.

Is merely for the sake of benefit.

...

...

Lingshu Mountain.

The highest among the thirty-six main peaks.

The mountain peak was steep and dangerous, resembling a longsword thrusting out from the ground, piercing the sky, exuding an aura of boundlessness.

Clouds were rolling around its waist, reflecting the golden rays sprinkled down from the great sun in the sky.

This extends as far as your eyes can't reach.

The peak.

Zhang Jing stood with his hands behind his back, and his robe fluttered in the wind.

The sky was pressingly low, as though one could touch it simply by stretching out their hand.

His eyes were slightly hooded.

Immediately, a magnificent and spectacular golden cloud sea came into view.

After that.

Zhang Jing's gaze pierced directly through the cloud sea, bringing the whole Lingshu Mountain range into view.

"It's here!"

He muttered to himself, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.

The next instant.

A Primordial Chaos Dao Seal with a faint purple hue slowly appeared at his brow.

With a slight thought.

In an instant.

Zhang Jing felt a connection with a familiar vast consciousness.

Streamlight Immortal World!

His eyes condensed, and he immediately transmitted his intention to establish a Dao training site.

Boom!

A crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a pair of indifferent, ruthless eyes suddenly emerged.

The gaze shifted, casting a vast beam of light downwards.

Suddenly.

Zhang Jing felt the Dao Seal at his brow begin to vibrate, and streams of information rapidly flashed across his mind.

[Identity verification in progress...]

[True Disciple of the Grand Brightness Cave Heaven: Zhang Jing]

[Permission verification passed, granted the qualification to establish a Dao training site]

[Location: Eastern Pole Continent, Nine Lao Domain, Lingshu Mountain]

[Would you like to rename it?]

[...]

...

...

Time slowly passed.

"True Disciple Zhang Jing, from now on, the territory of Lingshu Mountain within a hundred thousand li will belong to you as a Dao training site in terms of the Dao's legal principles. You will have the power to dominate any existence within its range."

A profound Dao voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

Zhang Jing slowly opened his eyes.

A faint sense of excitement flashed across his face.

He now had a Dao site.

The next step would be to establish and develop it.

The Dao site's mountain gate, palaces, caves, Immortal Root gardens ... and so forth, everything will have to be built from scratch.

The volume of work involved was so massive, it could be described as terrifying.

However, there was not a trace of worry on Zhang Jing's face.

Because to his knowledge.

All these tasks can be undertaken by a special kind of being called the Heavenly Craft Giant Ghost Gods.

As long as you are willing to pay Luck Movement!

Thinking of this.

He once again contacted the Streamlight Immortal World.

In a short while.

Accompanied by a pained expression that flashed across Zhang Jing's face.

Four towering ghost gods, over a thousand feet tall and with a hundred arms and eyes, suddenly appeared in Lingshu Mountain. They immediately knelt down before Zhang Jing, their huge eyes bulging roundly, and in a deep voice, they said:

"Heavenly Craft Number Twenty-Four Ghost God, greets the lord."

"Heavenly Craft Number Twenty-Five Ghost God, greets the lord."

"Heavenly Craft Number Twenty-Nine..."

"Heavenly Craft Number Thirty..."
