Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

This is the famous Taiyi Pavilion!

At this moment.

In the top hall of the Taiyi Pavilion.

A handsome man, who was permeated with the terrifying aura of the Unity Realm Stage, sat at the very top, his eyes alternately open and closed, shimmering occasionally with brilliant radiant light.

Beneath him.

Two other men at the Unity Realm Stage were facing each other, their faces ponderous in deep thought.

"Elder Brother, the Ling Shu Mountain Dojo has recently been opened. What sort of gifts should our Taiyi Pavilion prepare?" One of the men looked up and asked softly, a smile on his face.

"What does Junior Brother Long think?"

Hearing this, the handsome man sitting at the top didn't reply immediately, but instead turned to look straight at another young man with a cold demeanor.

"I have no other thoughts".

The man with the cold face paused, then explained:

"From what we know, the one who opened the Daoist school on Ling Shu Mountain is Zhang Jing, a direct disciple from Grand Brightness Cave Heaven of Chi Ming."

"Even though he's only at the Golden Core Realm, he's a direct disciple of Venerable Yuanming. He likely interacts with True Teachings or the Heavenly True Monarch daily, so what do we have that could catch his eye?"

"If that is the case, we might as well prepare some modest gifts to show our sincerity."

After hearing these words.

The handsome man's eyes flickered slightly.

"Junior Brother's insights are not without merit. However, the gifts may not need to be valuable, but it should not be too casual. After all, he is still a direct disciple!"

...

...

The Yellow Sand Law Realm.

"Junior Brother Qiu Han, how did it go this time? Did you pass the Taiyi Pavilion exam?"

A man in a blue robe slowly walked into the cave, his eyes landed on the youthful figure before him as he asked with a smile.

Upon hearing the question.

Qiu Han's face forced out a wry smile, sighed, and said:

"I am sorry to disappoint you, Elder Brother. There were ten quota slots for the exam this time. Over three thousand Golden Core Realm disciples from our Yellow Sand Law Realm and six other Law Realms around us competed for them. I really tried my best."

"Haha."

The man in the blue robe chuckled lightly, as if he had expected it.

Then, he comforted:

"Don't be discouraged, Junior Brother. You've only been in the Upper Realm for a few short decades. You've just broken through to the Golden Core Realm. In terms of foundation, you're far behind the other disciples. It's normal that you did not win this competition."

"Anyone else would have come out with the same result."

"Thank you for your consoling words, Elder Brother."

Qiu Han bowed and thanked him, a slightly more relaxed expression on his face.

In a split second.

A figure of a young man flashed through his mind.

"If it was Junior Brother Zhang Jing from the Dragon Lake Dao Institute, he would probably pass the exam as easily as reaching into a bag. I wonder what his cultivation level is…"

As he pondered.

The words of the man in blue echoed again, pulling Qiu Han's thoughts back to reality.

"Oh, yes, Junior Brother, I specifically came to tell you some good news."

"Good news?"

Qiu Han looked at him in puzzlement.

"Correct!"

The man in the blue robe nodded emphatically, a trace of excitement uncontrollably spreading across his face.

"About a month ago, one of the direct disciples from our sect came to a place nearby called Ling Shu Mountain and opened a Dojo. In two months, he will give a sermon there."

"A sermon given by a direct disciple about the path of cultivation, if we can comprehend something from it, it would be an invaluable treasure that we can benefit from for a lifetime!"

"We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity, don't forget, Junior Brother."

He said with deep conviction.

"I understand, thank you, Elder Brother, for letting me know."

Qiu Han took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, expressing his gratitude.

It turned out to be the legendary direct disciple!

Even the master of the Yellow Sand Law Realm had to pay his respectful regards when seeing the direct disciple, and now he had the chance to personally listen to his sermon?

At this moment.

Qiu Han suddenly felt as if a huge surprise had ruthlessly struck his mind.

The feeling of loss in his heart due to failing the Taiyi Pavilion exam earlier quietly disappeared into thin air.

...

...

In the Dognming Blessed Land.

In a certain cave dwelling.

A voice abruptly resonated, carrying an irresistible intensity.

"Junior Brother, remember to manage your time well. In two months, we are going to the Ling Shu Mountain Dojo to meet the direct disciple. Don't let anything distract you."

"I understand, Senior Brother!"

...

...

A month's time passed quietly.

In the main hall of the primary peak of Lingshu Mountain Dojo.

Zhang Jing sat on top, six layers and six colors of congratulatory clouds floating and sinking behind his head, exuding profound and mysterious meanings amid the circulation of bright and profound immortal light.

Just one glance and there was a mysterious feeling of understanding one's nature and realizing the truth.

And beneath him,

Lu 38 and Ice Crystal Immortal fairy Bing Liangliang were reporting matters one after the other.

"Master, based on the different characteristics of the immortal roots, I have planted them in the appropriate places on the fairy peak. Currently, all the immortal seeds are growing very well and will sprout into immortal saplings soon."

"That is—–"

Lu 38 hesitated.

"Just say what's on your mind."

Zhang Jing smiled slightly, his face showing no signs of ripples.

"Master, we don't have the spiritual spring as we did on Immortal Island, so the growth of these immortal roots is not as rapid as the Three Lights Pan Peach Tree and the Seven-Treasure Gourd Vine on the island."

Finishing,

Lu 38 unconsciously lowered his head.

"That's easy to deal with, later I'll let the earth vein force from below the dojo gather towards your immortal peak, the effect won't be much different."

Zhang Jing said softly.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Master, the Clan Leader has arranged for people to guard the Immortal Root Fertility Peak. Also, at the dojo's entrance as well as other main peaks, there will be clan people stationed and taking care of it."

Bing Liangliang couldn't wait to proudly say.

While speaking,

She looked at Zhang Jing with her eyes sparkling like jewels, as if waiting for her master's compliment.

"You've done well."

Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction.

Then,

His gaze swept over Lu 38 and Bing Liangliang below.

Just as he was about to say something, a grand and profound voice suddenly resounded in his heart:

"Zhang Jing, come to my palace immediately."

Upon hearing it,

Zhang Jing seemed slightly startled.

Why would his Master summon him all of a sudden?

It must be a matter of importance.

Just that—-

"There's less than two months left until the promised dojo opening for teachings. I wonder if it will be delayed? Regardless, whatever is going on with the Master is more pressing."

"Had I known, I would have refined the Nine Orifice Stone Embryo into an avatar first."

Such thoughts crossed Zhang Jing's mind.

Before long,

"Master, you were looking for me?"

Han Sheng walked gently into the hall and saluted Zhang Jing.

"I'm going to the Cave Heaven for a while, I can't be sure how long the trip will last. If I'm not back within two months, open the dojo and let those who came to hear the teachings wait."

"If during this period anyone dares to cause trouble, simply erase them!"

Zhang Jing instructed.

By the end, his tone had turned icy cold.

"You can count on me, Master. I know what to do."

Han Sheng replied respectfully.

He raised his head.

A translucent jade-like finger grew larger in his vision.

"What's–"

Surprise flashed across Han Sheng's face, but he didn't step back.

The next moment,

A formidable array that covered the dojo appeared in his senses. The cold and mighty killing intent that permeated the array even made him smell a strong scent of death.

"This is the Protective Great Array of the dojo, I'll hand the control over to you."

Zhang Jing's calm voice echoed in the hall.

"Yes, Master!"

Half a moment later,

A bright light shot out from Lingshu Mountain Dojo and directly penetrated the thick clouds, disappearing from sight.

...

...

At the heights of the endless Grand Brightness Cave Heaven.

Inside the bronze immortal palace floating in the deep void,

Eight figures, each entwined with endless immortal lights, lined up in two rows.

On the first row were four official direct disciples including Senior Sister Kong while the other four, merely nominal disciples of True Monarch Yuanming, naturally sat in the second row.

The eyes of the four kept scanning over the empty meditation cushion in the first row, their eyes filled with envy.
