Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

Less than a month.

News that Lingshu Mountain had become the site of the True Teachings of the Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate spread like wildfire within a million-mile radius centered on Lingshu Mountain.

Even more so as time went on.

The news began to spread further afield.

...

A hundred thousand miles away.

The gloaming was deepening.

In the quietude, the towering old trees on both banks vaguely displayed a somewhat ferocious appearance, their grotesque forms looming like demons and ghosts, emanating a faint, sinister blood-lust.

The sight would send chills down anyone's spine.

All of a sudden.

A flurry of chaotic and frantic footsteps, accompanied by quick breaths, echoed through the wild ancient forest.

The silence was broken.

Looking towards the commotion.

Two figures appeared, both looking somewhat disheveled.

Behind these two figures.

Whoosh—

A black, demon wind, obscuring the view and whipping up the earth and rubble.

Pursuing relentlessly.

Within the demon wind.

Two glowing lantern-like eyes, emitting an eerie red light, slowly lit up.

"Hehe, what a charming young lady. How about coming back to the White Hair Cave with this old man for some fun? This old man will certainly cherish you," said a voice.

...

"Don't give up, my child."

The middle-aged man, panting heavily, frantically tried to comfort a young woman next to him, who appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen.

He glanced back subconsciously.

The demon wind was getting closer!

A faint stench of blood began to fill the air.

In a flash.

The last bit of mana in his Dantian was squeezed out.

...

On the ancient path in the forest where few visitors ventured.

The two figures suddenly transformed into a light and rushed crazily towards the front.

The surrounding sceneries were quickly left behind.

However.

The pursuit of the black demon wind behind them also increased its speed, always maintaining a hundred feet distance.

Similar to a predator teasing its prey.

Just as the father and daughter were in despair.

"Despicable creature, dare you be so audacious?" A loud yell suddenly echoed through the forest.

The next moment.

A flying sword, shaped like a swimming fish and wrapped in chilling killing intent, suddenly appeared in mid-air. It transformed into a brilliant sword light and with lightning speed, it swooped towards the gigantic shadow in the black demon wind.

A roar—

In the vast, ancient forest, a roaring sound of immense pain suddenly echoed.

In a short while.

Inside a broken temple.

The flickering firelight illuminating three faces.

"You two, just mere Golden Core Realm cultivators, dared to venture into the forbidden zone of the labyrinthine ancient forest. Didn't you know about the terrifying creatures inside?" said a burly man with five flying weapons hovering behind him, his cold gaze fixed on the father and daughter, berating them.

At this.

A look of horror flashed across the young girl's face.

It seemed that the burly man's words had struck a chord, bringing back some unpleasant memories.

Next to the young girl.

"My Lord," the middle-aged man tried his best to endow his expression with a bitter smile, then held his hands together in acknowledgment and replied, "My daughter and I come from the Great Song Country, thousands of miles away. We accidentally stumbled into this forbidden zone in our hurry. We were on the brink of losing our lives."

"We are greatly indebted to you for lending your aid just now!"

Saying this.

The middle-aged man stood up and led the young lady next to him in a deep bow to the burly man.

Across from them.

"So that's why!"

An understanding dawned on the burly man's face.

He waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly,

"No problem, it was just a lift of a hand. That creature was my target anyway."

Upon finishing.

It seemed that he thought of something, and his eyes suddenly turned curious as he regarded the father and daughter opposite him,

"Where are you two in such a hurry to get to?"

As the words fell.

The father and daughter stared at each other in surprise.

"My Lord, don't you know? In two months, a Boundless Tai Yi Taoist Gate True Teaching session will open. Anyone, regardless of their status, can go to listen."

"We are about a million miles away from the site of the session, and we are short on time. Since my daughter is still young, we cannot afford to miss this great opportunity."

As he spoke.

The middle-aged man cast a gentle gaze at the young woman next to him.

"The Immortal True Teachings of Taiyi Boundless Tao Sect of the Eternal Dao in this realm — everyone can go and listen?"

A look of astonishment flashed across the burly man's eyes.

Did I just stumble across this opportunity?

During his early travels to other heavenly realms of the Human Race, the burly man had seen a lot and had a wide range of knowledge. He naturally understood just how terrifying the True Teachings among the Seven Eternal Dao Sects could be.

Without exaggeration.

Those were among the highest existences in their understanding of Dao and cultivation experience among the countless members of the Human Race.

How precious were they?

Thinking of this.

The burly man immediately stood up and glanced at the father and daughter still resting on the ground. He tried to stay calm and said,

"Well then, since time is pressing, why don't we set off immediately? Let's not delay any longer. This time, I'll go with you two!"

...

...

In an endlessly bustling Immortal City.

Surrounded by celestial light and filled with celestial machinery.

Among the crowd, Golden Core Realm cultivators were plenty, and there were also quite a number of cultivators in the Dharma Phase Realm. Their powerful auras intertwined, giving the vibrant Immortal Spirit Qi a feeling as if it were about to boil.

In the shops lining the streets.

Between Spirit Pills and Immortal Elixirs, amongst rare gems and treasures, the celestial glow could dazzle one's eyes.

Zhang Jing found that the largest Immortal City he had seen before, the Three Elements City, was incomparable to this city. It was like comparing heaven and earth.

There was no comparison between the two at all.

In the center of the city.

A thousand-story tower rose high into the sky. The glowing hues it radiated were so bright they could be seen clearly from hundreds of miles away even during the day.
