Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

With the departure of Zhang Jing and the others,

the once bustling city gate now fell into a deathly silence.

The howling wind swept up the ashes from the ground into the sky.

For a moment, black snow drifted down all around, looking quite beautiful.

Time ticked by slowly.

The many cultivators living nearby cautiously opened their doors and their gazes fell upon the ashes on the ground, their faces betraying a look of horrified shock.

These were the powerful members of the Chu clan, who had relied on them to hold control over Lingjiang Immortal City for thousands of years.

Now, they had all been turned to ashes by that being.

And there had been similarly terrible commotions from another end of the Immortal City before, the implication of which was self-evident.

"There's going to be a change in the heavens!"

The same thought flashed through everyone's minds simultaneously.

Creak!

Someone forcefully pushed their door open and, as if possessed, they started running towards a certain direction.

That was—the Chu clan's territory!

The others suddenly snapped out of their daze and also left their rooms, hurriedly racing towards the center of the Immortal City.

The Chu clan had collapsed with a bang.

It was unlikely that that being had managed to loot all the resources in such a short time.

Even the slightest bit left behind would be a fortune for them.

Some people's eyes flickered nonstop.

"The Chu clan is ranked among the seven great clans of the Beast Territory, possessing wealth amassed over thousands of years in Lingjiang Immortal City—"

...

...

"It really is quite a bit."

Zhang Jing's divine sense swept over the contents of the storage space, and he unexpectedly felt a hint of surprise.

All of these were the resources originally harvested by his Heavy Earth avatar in the Chu clan's treasury, including magical treasures, spiritual medicine, and the like. Although not of high grade, there was plenty in quantity.

All told, they were worth nearly two hundred million in luck movement.

Zhang Jing naturally did not think much of them.

But after all, the Chu clan was just an ordinary Immortal Way family without even a cultivator at the Unity Realm Stage; although they had a daunting reputation in the Beast Territory, they truly weren't much.

Not to mention anything else, there were at least three to five forces stronger than the Chu clan within the nearby Lingjiang Immortal City. However, when it came to wealth, none of them could hold a candle to the Chu clan.

"It seems to have something to do with that Blood Furnace."

Zhang Jing mused silently while glancing inconspicuously at Nong Xingzhou, who sat properly below him.

"Is this the legendary True Teaching venue?"

Nong Xingzhou curiously observed his surroundings.

Grand halls, the terrifyingly rich Immortal Spirit mechanism, and even the statues within the hall exuding a frightening immortal presence.

He stiffened unconsciously.

It wasn't because of anything else; it was purely because he was entering such an Immortal Way sacred place for the first time, and was inevitably feeling a bit uneasy.

Compared to Nong Xingzhou, You Yuanming who was not visiting for the first time, seemed much calmer.

Not much later,

as if struck by a thought, Qiu Han and Nong Xingzhou both turned to look at You Yuanming sitting at the front.

Meeting their gaze, You Yuanming nodded in understanding.

"Senior Brother, Junior Brother has a favor to ask and hopes Senior Brother will grant it."

You Yuanming stood up from his seat, bowed and requested, breaking the silence of the hall with his voice.

"Speak freely."

Zhang Jing smiled slightly.

After receiving the agreement,

You Yuanming couldn't help but take a deep breath and then, with some effort, pulled out an ancient jade box covered with mysterious Dao patterns from his chest.

It wasn't that he didn't want to keep this item in his personal storage space.

In fact, You Yuanming and the others had tried repeatedly before; the jade box seemed neither big nor heavy, but they simply couldn't fit it into their storage spaces.

That was also why Chu Yan had hidden it in Lingjiang Immortal City rather than carrying it with her.

"Senior Brother, this contains a high-grade innate divine object. We'd like to exchange it for some items with you."

As the words fell,

everyone instinctively looked at Zhang Jing, their palms sweating slightly.

Previously, in Lingjiang Immortal City, they had discussed that the so-called high-grade innate divine object was too terrifyingly valuable, and with their low cultivation levels and lack of backing, they simply couldn't find an existence capable of purchasing this divine object.

Moreover, even if such an existence existed, they didn't dare to bring it out.

After much thought,

only Senior Brother Zhang Jing might have the capacity to assimilate this innate divine object.

And if not, they could use it to exchange for some resources from Senior Brother Zhang Jing.

After all, the fact that they had survived this ordeal was entirely thanks to him.

As for why it wasn't Chu Yan who came to discuss this matter, that would have to start from when Zhang Jing personally destroyed the Chu family...

And in the main seat above,

The smile on Zhang Jing's face suddenly froze.

"You mean to say that there's a high-grade innate divine object inside this jade box? How do you possess such a thing?"

He asked in disbelief.

It was no wonder Zhang Jing was so astonished, as such an occurrence truly seemed beyond belief.

High-grade innate divine objects were treasures held dear even by those at the Unity Realm Stage and Earth Immortals.

How could these individuals at the Golden Core Realm possibly have one?

Down below,

Finally, they saw their Senior Brother lose his composure!

Seeing the astonished expression on Zhang Jing's face, You Yuanming couldn't help but feel a trace of smugness.

"Reporting to Senior Brother, this was a chance encounter that Junior Sister Chu Yan stumbled upon. It's not ours," he answered truthfully.

So it's just good luck.

A flicker of realization crossed Zhang Jing's eyes.

With so many strong beings in the Qingxiao Xuanming Heavens, it wasn't impossible for someone to come across such a fortunate event.

"What do you want?"

Zhang Jing suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a calm voice.
