Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

Time slowly passed.

News about many of the monarch-level powerhouses within the capital city being defeated by a young monarch who came from the Northern Plains were spreading at an incredibly alarming speed across the thirty-nine provinces and one hundred and ninety-seven counties of Dayin.

This led to numerous monarch-level entities from various places, proud of their strength, rushing to the capital city.

They were determined to redeem Dayin's honor.

Along with this news, another news also spread. It was about a mysterious yellow-robed monarch who stormed into the headquarters of The Demon Suppressing Department, and was still able to retreat intact under the siege of its three main administrators.

Of course.

Compared with the news about the young monarch from the Northern Plains dominating the capital city,

This piece of news seemed less important, but it still caught the attention of many interested parties.

West Gate.

A man in a sky-blue official's robe walked slowly ahead without saying a word, followed closely by a dozen figures in red official's robes.

On their shoulders, they were cooperating to carry the corpse of a giant serpent-like Big Demon which was tens of feet long.

The remnant of the fierce apparition on it had congealed into a substance.

This caused bystanders to avoid them one after another.

"The superiors have hurriedly called us back, but they only mentioned going to The Demon Suppressing Tower, could it be that something unexpected has happened there? Did the devils imprisoned there escape?"

Thinking of this.

The man in the blue robe couldn't help but sink his heart.

If it was really as he had guessed, then few of the brothers who went with him would probably be able to return this time.

Although he is extremely unwilling to go,

But—

"Ai~, one cannot defy an order from above,"

The man sighed inwardly, and his pace suddenly quickened.

But the next moment,

He suddenly stopped.

Not far away, the lowered conversation of two people suddenly came clearly into his ears.

"Sigh, this Zhu Ming monarch who came from the Northern Plains, his strength is too terrifying. I don't know if any one from our Dayin can defeat him."

"Isn't it? Our Dayin has occupied the Central Plains for tens of thousands of years, and now we are being ridden on the head by a barbarian from the Northern Plains, alas, so pitiful."

"You know, maybe that mysterious yellow-robed monarch can give it a try?"

"You mean the one who stormed into The Demon Suppressing Department and walked away intact? His strength is indeed strong, but I don't think he can compete with that barbarian..."

"..."

The two people were still arguing,

But the blue-robed man was already in a daze, he couldn't hear what they were saying anymore.

"Yellow-robed monarch? Forced his way into The Demon Suppressing Department, and walked away unscathed?"

The image of the yellow figure he encountered in the Million Mountain suddenly flashed before his eyes, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

As a member of The Demon Suppressing Department, he was more aware of the horror of the three main administrators than anyone else.

And because of this,

He found it hard to believe the news that the latter was able to retreat unscathed under the hands of the three administrators.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He and his companions were spared by someone who was clearly at odds with The Demon Suppressing Department?!

Coming back to reality,

"Don't dilly dally, I'm going back to The Demon Suppressing Department first, follow me!"

The man suddenly turned his head and shouted at his subordinates behind him.

He had a strange feeling.

That is:

The changes that have happened to him this month, the emergence of these inexplicably powerful beings, the changes at The Demon Suppressing Tower, all of these events, may have some indescribable connection with each other.

"Perhaps it's a great change like nothing before!"

The man in the blue robe thought solemnly.

After that, he disappeared from the spot with a flash.

...

...

Two days later,

In a secluded courtyard in the capital city.

"Haha, Senior Brother, who would have thought that after you forced your way into The Demon Suppressing Department, you would actually stay in the capital city? And with your cultivation at the Golden Core Realm, you could still retreat unscathed after hard resistance against the three administrators of The Demon Suppressing Department. Senior Brother, you are indeed the top-notch of the Jiaoyun Realm."

His gaze fell on Zhang Jing who was half lying in a bamboo chair, lazily basking in the sun.

A hint of shock and intense envy flickered in Qu Junhou's eyes.

The three monarch-level individuals of The Demon Suppressing Department, against whom he had fought not long ago, were all incredibly powerful.

And Zhang Jing, the Senior Brother in front of him, was able to retreat unscathed under the siege of these three.

The strength he demonstrated was truly somewhat chilling.

"Is this... really something that can be achieved through innate talent?"

He muttered to himself.

On the other side.

"Junior Brother, you must be joking. Your current strength is stronger than mine... That opportunity, it seems, is indeed not bad."

Upon hearing this,

Zhang Jing couldn't help but seriously look at Qu Junhou, immediately expressing his astonishment.

The scenes of the other party crazily battling the numerous monarch-level entities in the Dayin Imperial Court in the capital, he had certainly not missed any of it, almost watching from beginning to end.

Through this opportunity,

Zhang Jing had managed to grasp the details of all monarch-level entities in the capital, thoroughly understanding them.

And in this process,

The most astonished he was, was about Qu Junhou!

It was not an exaggeration to say that the other party's current battle power was stronger than his own Earth avatar!

In response,

He could only attribute it to the opportunity previously mentioned by Qu Junhou.

However, the only thing that Zhang Jing didn't understand was that it had been agreed that when the other party went to the Land of Opportunity, he would be called over for help.

Of course,

As for the transformation of Junior Brother Qu, Zhang Jing had no other thoughts as it was just an avatar after all.

Moreover, if both parties really fought each other, he currently would not be able to defeat the other party, but the other party would also not be able to do anything to his avatar.

On the other side,

Hearing Zhang Jing's words, Qu Junhou's face inevitably darkened, but he did not say much.

Then,

He seemed to remember something, his face suddenly became serious, and he stared earnestly at Zhang Jing's eyes, speaking word by word:

"Right, Senior Brother, I came here to remind you of a matter of importance, I hope Senior Brother will not be negligent."

While speaking,

Qu Junhou held out his hand, directly giving a jade slip to Zhang Jing.

"Please tell me, Junior Brother!"

Zhang Jing, who was sitting on a chair, immediately stood up, accepted the jade slip, and solemnly responded.

"Senior Brother, the jade slip contains the command formula for the teleportation array we used to get here. There will be a big change in Nether Night Realm, the existence of Unity Realm Stage is about to awaken, you... should go back."

"If you stay any longer, you may be in danger."

As his words fell,

Zhang Jing's movements abruptly slowed down.

"Junior Brother, you..."

...

...

Before long,

"Senior Brother, I have already explained everything. I hope Senior Brother will consider carefully. If you decide to return to the Mysterious Yellow World, the sooner the better."

Qu Junhou slowly walked to the courtyard gate, looking at Zhang Jing with a complex expression.

Then he walked out without looking back.

But the next moment,

The other party suddenly stopped.

"Within the three great forbidden areas, there lies the remains of a half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm spirit. It is also the source of all the devils here. If you don't want to return to the Mysterious Yellow World, based on your power, you might as well try to compete."

A sound filled with a mysterious cold meaning rang into Zhang Jing's ears.

Before he could react,

Qu Junhou's figure had disappeared without a trace.

On the spot,

His gaze slowly moved away from the jade slip in his hand.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

"This Qu Junhou, I'm afraid there is a problem! He first urged me to leave the Nether Night Realm, and then inexplicably said that there were the remains of a half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm spirit in the three great forbidden areas. It's clear he wanted to attract me and stop me from leaving."

Thinking back to the other party's extremely abnormal growth rate.

All of a sudden,

A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Zhang Jing's mind.

"Could it be... possession? That so-called opportunity!"

"Hold on! If that's the case, does it mean that this unknown entity that possessed Qu Junhou had been planning it back when he participated in Jiaoyun Realm, or even earlier?"

Zhang Jing suddenly felt chilled to the bone.

Those who dared to lay hands on a disciple of the Tao Sect must be no ordinary beings, he knew too well.

"No, I must leave the Nether Night Realm immediately!"

Zhang Jing's eyes flickered.

As for the so-called remains of the half-step Heavenly Immortal Realm spirit Qu Junhou just mentioned, he dared not even think of it.

Let alone the existence of a figure watching him closely.

Even if he competed with the numerous indigenous entities in the Nether Night Realm, Zhang Jing didn't think he had a big chance. After all, this avatar's shortcoming was rather obvious when facing monarch-level entities.

"Compared to any possible gains, it's more important to preserve this avatar. Plus, once I get out, I can report to Tao Sect about Junior Brother Qu's situation, there might still be a chance to save him."

Upon thinking this,

Zhang Jing did not hesitate at all. After standing up, he took a step forward, and his entire person immediately sank into the ground.
