Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

A hundred and fifty years!

After carefully sensing it,

A blinding light of excitement flashed across Zhang Jing's eyes, and a trace of undisguised excitement crossed his face.

This Nine Celestial Dao Stele surprisingly doubled the evolution speed of the Original Realm.

At this rate,

The first layer of the Original Realm could be perfectly evolved in a maximum of one hundred and fifty years.

By then,

The power of the Taiyi Heavenly Gods' Original Realm will undoubtedly transform, and he might no longer have to worry about depleting himself like he severely does now with just one full-out attack.

Moreover,

The Innate Divine Dao Body will also be born!

He had been eagerly waiting for this.

Of course,

Zhang Jing does not value the power of this Innate Divine Dao Body very much. Although he knows that any existence related to the Innate Divine will undoubtedly possess formidable strength,

Comparatively,

What Zhang Jing is truly looking forward to is the Innate Divine Dao Body's terrific ability to perceive the Great Dao.

After all, it is a being born from inheriting the Great Dao.

Calling it a son of the Great Dao wouldn't be an exaggeration.

When it's combined with the upgrade of his own skills...

Upgrading all sorts of Divine Skills into an Immortal Seed will not be as difficult as it currently is and consume considerably less.

"That may be an unprecedented terrifying transformation, identical to the condensation of the Immortal Base and the Primordial Golden Elixir!"

Zhang Jing muttered to himself, his eyes extraordinarily profound.

Returning to reality,

He couldn't help but look at the other thirty-five Immortal Peaks on Lingshu Mountain.

From his previous perception,

There are another thirty-five Nine Celestial Dao Steles on them, perfectly matching with the remaining thirty-five layers of the Original Realm.

And Zhang Jing could cleary feel,

That the thirty-six Nine Celestial Dao Steles form a whole and can't be absent of any.

However――

Seeming to have thought of something, Zhang Jing's brows slightly furrowed.

He lifted his head.

From his viewpoint,

With him incorporating this Nine Celestial Dao Stele into the first layer of the Original Realm,

The dense spiritual fog that shrouded the entire dojo of Lingshu Mountain had notably thinned.

"The thirty-six Nine Celestial Dao Steles are the foundation of the Innate Celestial Confusing Array that shrouds this dojo. If they are all collected, then undoubtedly, the grand array would also collapse."

Zhang Jing thought to himself.

If a True Teaching dojo lacks a protecting array, then what is it?

The key point is also safety!

After all, in his plan, one of the thirty-six Immortal Mountains would be allocated to Lu 38, entirely for the cultivation of Immortal Plant Roots.

It would also facilitate her cultivation of the fetal world through her bloodline Divine Skills.

And when hundreds of Immortal roots completely grow out, the value would be immeasurable!

They can't possibly be exposed.

However, if he has to give up the remaining thirty-five Nine Celestial Dao Steles, that would be impossible.

The nurture and evolution of the thirty-six Original Realms is of the utmost importance.

It is even related to the path to Dharma Phase Realm or even the Unity Realm Stage.

"Hence..."

Zhang Jing, as if he thought of something, had a movement in his heart. A quaint Array disk quietly appeared in his hand, with two small black and white flags floating on it.

There was no aura leaking out of it.

It seemed rather ordinary.

However,

The occasional obscure black and white Immortal lights, brought about a terrifying sensation in Zhang Jing's heart.

As if once contaminated with this thread of Immortal light, one would die, and the soul would be obliterated.

This was even after he had succeeded in refining it.

"The Yin Yang Dust Array that Uncle Master Yuan De gave back then, using it as the Dojo's protective grand array... seems a bit of overkill."

"I originally wanted to keep it as a trump card."

Zhang Jing shook his head slightly, seemingly regretful.

But on second thought,

Even if he carried this Yin Yang Dust Array with him, with his current cultivation, unless his Original Realm evolves and grows into the size of a small world, it would definitely not be able to be activated.

Better to place it in the dojo.

After a moment's thought,

He no longer hesitated. The terrifying Mana that had just recovered around his body surged out, instantly activating the Yin Yang Dust Array in his hand.

Then he gently threw it into the sky.

In an instant,

The array disk radiated a towering black and white Immortal light, then condensed into a giant Yin Yang Twin Fish Array map, covering the whole one hundred thousand li area of the Lingshu Mountain with Zhang Jing as the center.

A repressed sense of danger permeated out.

Even the four Great Strength Heavenly Craft Demonic Gods who were busy far away were stricken still, afraid to move in the slightest.

In a short while,

The array map slowly fell.

Immediately after, it burrowed into the earth vein and amazingly fused with the vast Lingshu Mountain into one entity.

The two black and white small flags in the sky turned into two streams of light, falling respectively at the eyes of the Yin Yang Twin Fish, becoming two array eyes.

Gradually, the small flags disappeared.

Once again, everything in the dojo became calm.

As if nothing had happened.

Nevertheless, only Zhang Jing could clearly feel. A terrifying array filled with endless Yin and Yang annihilating immortal light has already enveloped the dojo.

Just a thought is needed.

To mobilise it.

The power of the earth veins under Lingshu Mountain constantly supplies energy to the Yin Yang Dust Array, allowing it to keep spinning endlessly.

"Anyone below the ranks of Heavenly Immortal, if they dare to intrude without permission..."

A trace of a faint smile flashed in the corner of Zhang Jing's eyes.

Then, he transformed into a bright escape light, moving between the various immortals peaks, and collected the Nine Star Heavenly Gang Steles on them one by one into the thirty-six original realms behind him.

Time slowly passed.

Accompanied by the disappearance of the last Nine Star Heavenly Gang Stele in the dojo.

Buzz!

A series of inexplicable connections appeared in the virtual shadow of the thirty-six original realms, giving a strange feeling of fusion into one.

Moreover—

"Indeed, after the thirty-six Nine Star Heavenly Gang Steles are assembled, the speed of evolution in the first original realm has sped up a bit."

"One hundred and twenty years, right?"

Zhang Jing's eyes were unbelievably bright.

...

Time slowly passed.

"Chief Han Sheng, what do you think? Look at this Lingshu Mountain Dojo within a hundred thousand miles, where could be the dwelling place for your Hanyou Tribe? The dojo is now quite vacant, it is in need of people to manage."

Zhang Jing nonchalantly said.

"Sir, you can just call me Han Sheng."

Behind him, the Unity Realm Stage Ice Crystal Immortal Spirit Han Sheng unconsciously gazed at the endless and intricate scenery of Lingshu Mountain Dojo beneath him, his eyes flashing with awe.

This terrifying dojo... is it actually owned by his master?

One can imagine his imposing background.

Certainly.

He knew better in his heart that a powerful background is only one part of it, and to obtain this dojo, his master's innate talent and strength were undoubtedly equally or even more critical.

The rules of the Immortal Way world have always been so.

"Perhaps, following the master is an unimaginable big opportunity for the Hanyou Tribe!"

He thought, feeling something.

After some selection.

Han Sheng finally chose a small spirit peak that's just a few hundred feet tall in the dojo, as the dwelling place for the Hanyou Tribe, rather than one of the thirty-six soaring immortal peaks.

"Won't you reconsider?"

Zhang Jing withdrew his gaze from the small spirit peak below, smiled and asked, his voice as gentle as always.

"Master, this place has mountains and lakes, and it happens to be on top of a spirit vein. This kind of spiritual land is far beyond Han Sheng's imagination."

Han Sheng also explained with a smile.

"That's fine, then," Zhang Jing nodded, "you Ice Crystal Immortal Spirits will live here."

While saying this.

He reached out with his hand and lightly tapped in the semi-air.

Instantly, the dense immortality around him began to gather towards the spirit peak Han Sheng had chosen.

Zhang Jing then took out the pure white decree.

With a thought.

A deep whirlpool slowly appeared in front of him, and then began to expand swiftly.

One after another, Ice Crystal Immortal Spirits carrying small bundles and flying from inside, curiously observing their surroundings.

The chattering noises were incessant.

Shortly after.

"We have seen the master!"

Nearly a thousand Ice Crystal Immortal Spirits of different sizes echoed in unison under the guidance of their clan leader Han Sheng, collectively bowing to Zhang Jing in front of them, respectfully declaring.

"Stand up, no need to be overly courteous."

Zhang Jing said gently, a faint smile spreading on his face.

With these Ice Crystal Immortal Spirits, his future life within the dojo would be much easier.

Also, Lu 38 on the other side finally had some help.

The next moment.

As if sensing something.

Zhang Jing slowly turned his head, his gaze directly pointed at the foot of Lingshu Mountain.

"Haven't left yet? Could it be... about the matter of preaching?"

He instantly understood.

According to what Zhang Jing knew, the true teaching of the Tao Sect or other great abilities, after opening a dojo, they would, as per tradition, preach to all beings once, officially declaring the existence of the dojo and settling the cause and effect of occupying the place.

In that case.

Then, let's follow the tradition.

Zhang Jing smiled slightly, without the slightest worry in his heart.

Although his current cultivation is merely in the Golden Core Realm.

However, the various Dao principles he has mastered, whether it's the Path of Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the Primordial Beginning Taiyi Path, or the Primordial World Derivation Path, far exceeds the expectations of ordinary cultivators.

There's naturally no pressure in preaching.

Thinking to this point.

Zhang Jing immediately summoned Han Sheng, who was still directing the Ice Crystal Immortal Spirit tribespeople to build houses, unconsciously glanced at the powerful Heavenly Craft - a deity carrying a hundred-foot gate at the foot of the mountain, and calmly said:

"Han Sheng, do me a favor and go down the mountain."

"Tell those people, as per tradition, I will open the gate of Lingshu Mountain in three months and preach to all beings. Those who have the destiny can come to listen."

"Understood, master."

Han Sheng respectfully replied.

As his voice fell.

A dark blue immortal light flashed, and his figure instantly disappeared.
