Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Shen Qingqing, Third Spellcasting Stage."

People had just recovered from the shock of Chen Xiandao's previous move, when they immediately heard Senior Brother Liu's voice again, and so they all flocked to the third spellcasting stage.

For them.

These two Grade-A monsters had always been elusive like a dragon that neither shows its head nor tail. Now that there was a chance to see them, naturally, they would not easily miss it.

Moreover, now that Chen Xiandao had shown his skills. People wanted to see if this monster, who shares the same reputation as Chen Xiandao, was just as formidable as he was.

The result was as expected.

Shen Qingqing also swiftly and neatly won the battle.

The opponent merely cast an unknown spell, and the puppet was blown off the stage.

This once again triggered waves of surprise.

Zhang Jing also detected a faint Taoism Rhyme in Shen Qingqing's spell.

It was a huge Five-winged Blue-Gold Bird that obscured the sky. With each wave of its wings, it seemed to stir up a violent storm that was so ferocious it was terrifying.

While he was ruminating.

The booming voice of Senior Brother Liu came abruptly.

"The first round of the assessment is over, with fifty-three people passing. The ranked battles will begin on time in one and a half hours. You can go back and rest for now."

Hearing this, the crowd dispersed in pairs.

Among them, some wore disappointed faces with sighs, while others excitedly discussed the events of the morning, arguing over the ranking of Grade-B talents, as well as the stunning performances of a few Grade-C talents.

Of course, in these discussions, the two Grade-A monsters were very tactfully excluded.

After all, judging from their performance this morning, comparing these two with others was pointless.

On the way back.

"Brother Zhang, how do you think those two Grade-A monsters cultivated? Their spells seem so ordinary, yet when used by them, they seem blessed by the gods, extremely powerful."

"Their top-tier dharma doors are strong indeed, but at the end of the day, isn't it all fundamentally about mana?"

Ji Bochang, who was still excited, kept rambling beside Zhang Jing.

Hearing this, Zhang Jing glanced at him unconsciously and thought to himself:

You're right, these two people do have a god-like assistance.

Of course, the spells recorded in the high-end Cultivation Method they practice just happen to complement their Taoism Rhyme, which should also be an important reason.

And if Zhang Jing didn't sense it wrong earlier.

Both Shen Qingqing and Chen Xiandao had probably broken through to the third layer of Qi Refinement. Undergoing twice the transmutations of their bodies, spiritual sense, and mana, as well as the Taoism Rhyme, naturally made them appear much stronger than the rest.

However, he couldn't tell Ji Bochang about these things, especially about the existence of Taoism Rhyme. Therefore, Zhang Jing could only agree with him:

"Brother Ji, your analysis does make some sense!"

While they were talking.

They saw someone waving at them not far ahead.

Upon a closer look, it turned out to be Chu Lingyun and her companions.

Before Zhang Jing could speak.

Chu Lingyun's beautiful eyes lit up, and she softly said:

"Congratulations, Brother Ji, for getting through the first round. And Brother Zhang, judging by your expression, you must've passed as well, right? Congratulations!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

The expression on Wu Mingyuan's face, who was standing behind Chu Lingyun, suddenly turned strange. He looked at Zhang Jing but hesitated to speak.

"Didn't you watch Zhang's stage?" Ji Bochang asked with a hint of confusion on his face.

"Haha, as Ling Yun wanted to see if she had a chance to compete for the top ten ranking, so we were focused on those Grade-B talents who were recognized to have the top ten strength. We didn't pay much attention to Brother Zhang's competition." Deng An stepped forward and explained with a laugh.

"Thank you for your concern, Fairy Chu. I was lucky enough to pass," Zhang Jing replied softly.

As soon as he spoke.

Zhang Jing felt two astonished gazes sweeping at him momentarily before he disregarded them.

Did he say something wrong?

That puppet forced out both of his magic artifacts, wasn't it lucky for him to pass?

"That's great. We all managed to pass the first round, which truly wasn't easy,"

Chu Lingyun's face bloomed with a brilliant smile as she encouraged with a clenched fist:

"We will definitely secure good rankings in the afternoon."

At this moment.

In front of the Legacy Pavilion, the Enrobed Elders in purple on the huge stone pillar in the square did not leave but started chatting with each other.

"How do you find these two Grade-A talents?"

"Not bad, their mana is thick and pure. In a short one month period, they have already found a hint of the Taoism Rhyme. No wonder they were assigned the Grade-A rating. Senior Brother Liu, the top-grade inheritances they chose... they have a high compatibility degree, right?" one of the inner court elders asked curiously.

"Both are extremely compatible, one with three feet and the other with two feet eight inches," Senior Brother Liu revealed without any hesitation.

"No wonder, I guess in less than five years, we will have another junior brother and sister. Once they grow up, Dragon Lake might surpass Shen Xiao and Xuan Guang to get more resources."

"Let's hope so, after all, Nanli is still too barren," the elders sighed in agreement.

At that moment.

An elder in a purple cloak on the outskirts suddenly opened his eyes as if he had realized something and stared straight at Senior Brother Liu:

"Senior Brother, will the ranked battles in the afternoon again be the kind of challenges against each other and arranged according to their strengths that you organized before?"

"Junior Brother Qiu, do you have any advice?" Senior Brother Liu curiously asked.

"Haha, Senior Brother, you are exaggerating. The Dao Institute's assessment has always been hosted by you inner court elders from the Legacy Pavilion. I from Thousand Law Pavilion don't dare to instruct. I just have a naive idea that I would like to share with my senior brothers."
