Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

He looked at the entity before him, an existence that he could not fathom nor knew much about.

"Senior, what is this Jiuchen Tiangang Stele you speak of?"

Zhang Jing blurted out without hesitation, a look of bewilderment flashing in his eyes.

He seemed utterly clueless about what the other party was talking about.

Upon seeing this.

"Ha ha, good lad, you've come this far and still acting clueless? Isn't Ling Shu Mountain your training ground? Right at the thirty-six divine peaks, there are thirty-six Jiuchen Tiangang Steles standing, forming the key points of the Primordial Tiangang Array. Yet now, not a single stele remains!"

"If it's not you, who else could have done it?"

A sturdy man who called himself a Great Witch from the Jiuli Realm, looked meaningfully at Zhang Jing.

The instant their gazes met.

Boom!

In Zhang Jing's line of sight.

The man suddenly transformed into an infinitely vast world, unimaginably magnificent. Within it, countless creatures compete and slaughter each other, their campaigns against each other seem like they will never cease.

Primitive! Vast! Cruel!

…

After an unknown period of time.

Zhang Jing gradually regained his senses, his facial expression still frozen.

"What a terrifying entity!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

The man in front of him, who called himself a Great Witch, gave him the same sense of terror as when he first saw his teacher, the Seven Desire God King.

"Is a Great Witch an entity that ranks above a Heavenly Immortal?"

Zhang Jing abruptly realized.

In front of such an entity, his persistence was meaningless.

However...

To hand over the Jiuchen Tiangang Steles just like that...

He was rather reluctant.

After all, this treasure not only influences his current first original realm but also the genesis of the other thirty-five original realms in the future.

It is of extraordinary importance.

More importantly.

The place where Zhang Jing currently resides is the Clear Skies Mysterious Realm!

As a True Teaching, he represents the Boundless Tai Yi Sect. While the other party might be an entity above a Heavenly True Monarch, whether they would dare to act against him here was still uncertain.

After a moment's thought.

Whew!

Zhang Jing breathed out sighing, his expression suddenly conceding.

He didn't dare to gamble, after all, one only has one life.

Moreover, there was the existence of the Jade Talisman.

He would eventually reach the same realm as them one day. There was no need to risk his life now.

The Jiuchen Tiangang Steles were not that important, he could let them go.

Zhang Jing kept comforting himself.

The next moment.

His thoughts returned to reality.

"Senior Great Witch," Zhang Jing bowed politely, "The Jiuchen Tiangang Steles are indeed in my possession. If you want them, I'm willing to give them to you."

Upon hearing this.

A hint of surprise flickered across Xuangang's face.

He hadn't expected.

That this youngster, who refused to admit anything a moment ago, would change his attitude so drastically the next.

"Interesting lad."

"Not only is he extraordinarily talented, but he also knows how to assess the situation and make calculated decisions. With such a disposition, he could potentially become a Heavenly Immortal in the future if he doesn't fall midway. No wonder that Seven Desire fellow would still take him as a disciple even after knowing that he is a disciple of Zhenyang."

A flash of admiration appeared in Xuangang's eyes.

Yes.

Actually, Xuangang's curiosity had been piqued the moment Zhang Jing returned to the Ling Shu Mountain Dojo.

A mere Golden Pill Realm Cultivator.

Yet on him were both causal relations with the Seven Desire God King and the True Sun Realm Master, how odd! Even an outsider like him knew that, although these two also belonged to the Human Race of the Mysterious Yellow World, they were from different lineages.

How could they both take the same person as a disciple?

However.

It seemed this lad had misunderstood something?

The next moment.

"Ha ha, I'm not so low as to snatch a youngster's belongings. Don't worry, I'm just borrowing the Jiuchen Tiangang Steles temporarily."

Xuangang laughed heartily, then continued:

"Also, I'm not borrowing for free. You can state your conditions."

His voice carried a sense of frankness.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Jing's eyes lit up.

His initially tense heart also gradually relaxed.

Obviously, this entity would not lie to him, so…

He suddenly thought of the previously problematic issue of refining the Demon Knife Embryo. If he could ask this entity to help, that might be a good option.

Zhang Jing thought to himself.

After all, this person was merely borrowing the Jiuchen Tiangang Steles for a while. If he took this opportunity to make exorbitant demands, he feared he might be smacked.

With this thought.

Zhang Jing's heart moved.

His Innate Divine Ability Taiyi Tiangang Heavenly Gods of the Original World was immediately activated.

In an instant, the thirty-six layers of celestial void world shadows silently emerged, emitting bright immortal lights.

Immediately afterwards.

The thirty-six Jiuchen Tiangang Steles slowly flew out from amongst them, growing bigger and bigger.

"Senior, these are the thirty-six Jiuchen Tiangang Steles you wanted. As for my condition… could you please help me refine a curved sword spiritual embryo from Primordial Blooded Gold?"

Zhang Jing cautiously asked.

On the other side.

Upon hearing Zhang Jing's condition.

A faint smile appeared in Xuangang's eyes and he promptly asked with interest.

"Primordial Blooded Gold? Boy, the chance to make any condition in front of me is rare, are you sure you want to use it on refining a simple curved sword artifact?"

"I'm sure!"

Zhang Jing nodded firmly, responding without the slightest hesitation.

Out of the blue.

"Ha ha, you came to the right person today. When that Seven Desire fellow was refining the Supreme Immortal Slayer Demon Blade, he once wanted to borrow my clan's Heavenly Killing Spirit Treasure Art. However, he he~"

Speaking of this.

A cryptic smile suddenly appeared on Xuangang's face.

"Bring out the primordial blood gold essence, I'll help you refine it."

"Thank you, senior."

Zhang Jing immediately expressed his gratitude.

...

...

Time quietly passed.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the main hall of the Dojo Summit.

As if sensing something, Zhang Jing suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward.

In the void, a crack was forcibly torn open by some force. Thirty-six immortal rays of light flew out from it and slowly fell in front of him.

It turned out to be the thirty-six 'Nine Celestial Stars' Dao Steles that Zhang Jing had previously lent.

At the same time.

"Young man, I'm leaving. If you have time, you can come to Jiuli Realm to find me."

A voice suddenly echoed in Zhang Jing's ear.

However, whether it was an illusion or not, he seemed to hear a sense of frustration in this voice.

"Failed again?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while and could not help but recall the introduction of Senior Xuangang.

"Using the endless worlds as the experimental field, and even attempting to cultivate the real celestial and terrestrial 108 demon stars at a great cost in many powerful worlds, what exactly are those great witches and ancestral witches in Jiuli Realm planning?"

He thought somewhat doubtfully.

However, he understood in his heart that this kind of thing is not what he, who is currently in the Golden Core Realm, should care about.

However—

No matter what the outcome, it was certain for him to gain a great deal.

As if he had thought of something, Zhang Jing couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile on his face.

The next moment.

He extended his hand and his mind moved.

A crimson immortal light suddenly lit up, and then condensed into a blood-colored sickle blade, with strands of karmic fire entwining around it. The extremely refined blade shone with a faint light, seeming to tear the void.

Also.

Zhang Jing slightly squinted his eyes, as if looking through the blood-red blade directly at the extremely profound Dao prohibition inside.

In a daze.

It gave people a terrifying feeling as if it were an endless sea of karma.

Primordial Karma Power Source Sea Dao Prohibition!

Unlike other magical treasures.

This sickle blade seemed to have combined with Zhang Jing into one, as if they were blood-related, it was indeed extraordinarily magical.

Even in his perception.

This demon blade seemed to have life and was constantly breathing the true meanings and rhymes of his Supreme Red Profession Slashing Immortal Demon Sword.

Bit by bit, it was transforming towards an unknown state.

"Although due to my cultivation in the Golden Core Realm, this demon blade is only of the supreme quality, but after all, it is cast from primordial blood gold essence. In terms of killing power, it is probably not inferior to the immortal spirit magic weapon, the Immortal Lock."

"And combined with the intention of the Supreme Red Profession Slashing Immortal Demon Sword, the power it exerts would undoubtedly be even more terrifying."

Thinking of this.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

At this moment.

The only thing that restricts him is his cultivation.

Once the preaching ceremony is over, he should go into closed-door cultivation to increase his cultivation. And in the meantime, consider how he should walk his path in the Dharma Phase Realm, and what kind of Dharma Phase he should create.

"Perhaps, I need to consult with my master."

Zhang Jing thought secretly.

After all, according to his current situation.

The Primordial Genesis World Derivative Egg Dao Phase of the Primitive Genesis may not be suitable anymore.

But before that.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but remember the Nine Orifice Stone Embryo he held.

"Right, calculating the time, the dojo opening day is coming. I should start preparing in advance."

His eyes flashed.

The hall fell into stillness suddenly.

...

...

Half a month has passed again.

The Three Elements City that has been restored to its original state is now full of cultivators gathered from far and wide, and there are even those at the Dharma Phase Realm.

Qingshen Market.

Li Mansion.

In the cultivation room at the back of the house.

The luminous lamp sheds a faint spiritual light, the Calming Incense rises slowly, spreading all over.

In the middle of the room.

Li Jiu was sitting on a cushion, looking calm.

All of a sudden.

Knock! Knock!

The continuous knocking sound broke the tranquility of the cultivation room, then a young figure pushed open the door and rushed in.

A voice filled with worry echoed around the room.

"Father, I heard you're ill, and haven't been to the governmental office for half a month——"

After getting a clear view of the room.

Li Xie's voice stopped abruptly.

After a long time.

"Father, what's this?" he asked in confusion.

"Xie, it isn't that your father doesn't want to go to the governmental office, but…." Li Jiu wore a bitter smile on his face, "It's that I dare not. As the date of the dojo opening and preaching by that 'person' approaches, many powerhouses have gathered in the Three Elements City. You know that, don't you?"

"Just in Qingshen Market, no less than ten existences in the Dharma Phase Realm have come, and as for cultivators in the Golden Pill Realm, they are countless."

"Who dares to manage their disputes?"

"Out of helplessness, your father had no choice but to feign illness and stay at home, simply turning a blind eye. Besides, as far as your father knows, no one dares go to the governmental office in the past month, all those constables and constable chiefs from other markets."

Speaking of this.

Li Jiu couldn't help licking his lips.

"Tsk, who would have thought several years ago that so many high-level cultivators would come to such a place like our Three Elements City?"

As he was speaking.

A vast and extensive ripple gradually swept over them.

Both father and son looked at each other.

"This ripple... is it the opening of this person's dojo?"

Li Jiu murmured.

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes gleaming as he looked at his son, his voice full of irrepressible excitement:

"Xie, hurry up and go to this person's dojo, don't delay the time."
