Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

No matter where this higher-order prehistoric divine item came from, for me, it appeared just at the right time.

"Senior Brother, if there are any cultivation resources, or divine skill methods and such, feel free to give us some. Also, do you think you could help arrange for Junior Brother Feng and Junior Sister Chu to cultivate in the nearby Dao Sect's blessed land?"

You Yuanming asked with restraint.

They didn't dare to ask for too much.

On one hand, having too many treasures could potentially bring disaster upon themselves; on the other hand, they wanted Senior Brother Zhang Jing to owe them a favor.

None of them were children.

They didn't naively believe that Senior Brother Zhang Jing would continue to support them like this forever.

After all, in the Lower Realm's Dao Institute, it was just the sentiment of being from the same sect, and how much of this sentiment would remain after this ordeal in the Beast Territory was still uncertain.

Senior Brother has boundless prospects, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will surely become a great power in the Tao Sect.

This sentiment...

Unless they were fools, they wouldn't possibly squander it for a bit of small profit.

"Is that all?"

His gaze slowly swept across their faces.

Zhang Jing understood and smiled knowingly.

He already knew what they were thinking, but he didn't feel even the slightest ripple in his heart—it was just human nature.

"It is possible."

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Hearing this, You Yuanming and the other two walked to the center of the great hall, bowed deeply, with a flash of excitement on their faces.

"Also, I'd like Junior Brother Feng from Nong Xingzhou to stay a little longer later," Zhang Jing suddenly said.

...

...

Half a day later.

"The four of you, these are the items Master has agreed to give you. Inside there is a Sixth Grade Cultivation Method suitable for you," Bing Liangliang introduced sweetly:

"Moreover, Master has directly bestowed upon you the authority to cultivate the Taiyi Dao Intent and the Minor Primordial Beginning Immortal Light. Master also said that if you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to our Ling Shu Dao Arena."

"Sixth Grade?"

The eyes of You Yuanming and the others widened in amazement.

They were naturally aware of the Heavenly Realm's division of the various inheritances by grade.

Even You Yuanming, who came from a Blessed Land, had only heard of Senior Brothers cultivating Ninth Grade Inheritances, with boundless might.

As for higher-grade inheritances, such as the Eighth or Seventh Grades, they had never even heard of them.

Let alone the dharma doors of the Sixth Grade inheritance.

"Sixth Grade inheritances?"

Chu Yan gripped Feng's arm tightly, her voice trembling.

"Right, may I ask Lord Bing, what are this Taiyi Dao Intent and Minor Primordial Beginning Immortal Light you just mentioned? They sound quite powerful from your tone," You Yuanming recovered from the immense surprise and asked Bing Liangliang softly.

"Uh, that?"

A peculiar expression suddenly flashed across Bing Liangliang's small face.

"Very strong, even comparable to some of the weaker Great Divine Powers, the only drawback is that it's a bit difficult to cultivate."

"Comparable to Great Divine Powers, but only a bit difficult to cultivate?"

The bodies of You Yuanming and the others shook again, and immediately, a look of eagerness flashed in their eyes.

Difficulty?

Isn't a high degree of difficulty in cultivating such advanced inheritances to be expected?

Seeing them gradually calm down,

Bing Liangliang continued,

"As for the resources needed for cultivation, please come with me to Zixia Peak."

A moment later.

"These... are these all the legendary Immortal Roots?"

"Heavens, how much are they worth?"

"..."

The continuous exclamations echoed in every corner of Zixia Peak.

...

...

Meanwhile.

Inside Qingjing Palace, three figures sat opposite each other in a pattern of the Three Powers.

"Fellow Daoist, please lend me the Nanming Immortal Furnace Immortal Seed for a while. I've obtained a fun item in the Beast Territory and need to refine it," the Thick Earth clone said with a smile.

"You're joking, friend. Why speak of lending?" Zhang shook his head slightly. "That treasure seal? Containing the Principle of Mountain in the Immortal treasure, indeed it is quite suitable for you."

Meanwhile, inside the Mud Pill Palace,

An Immortal Seed resembling a treasure furnace, burning with blazing bright yellow immortal flames, suddenly trembled and then slowly vanished into thin air.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

The Thick Earth clone nodded and smiled, then stood up and walked outside.

"Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer either. Fellow Daoist, focus on your cultivation," as the Thick Earth clone left, the Immortal Qingyun also stood up, a sharp smile appearing on his face.

"I must enter seclusion to engage in cultivation, and Daoist Hou Tu needs to refine his treasure imprint and collect the Purple Qi of Later Heaven, so this time I can only trouble you to make another trip to the Green Spirit Palace on Gold Rooster Mountain."

Regret flickered across Zhang Jing's face.

"Haha, it should be so, besides, I also wish to witness Senior Brother Feng Wuyu's dao field myself," said the other.

"By the way, Dao Brother, if there is any surplus of Origin Power, it would be best to expedite the emergence of Brother Huangquan."

Immortal Qingyun laughed heartily, then with a wave of his hand, his figure abruptly began to dissipate bit by bit.

And, fading away with him was that Blood Furnace which had been silently standing in the room.

The room returned to quiet once more.

"The Blood Furnace is used to refine cultivators, and it seems that disciples from the Tao Sect are particularly abundant within it? The items obtained must likely be those very things the Chu family could not speak of before, right?"

Zhang Jing's eyes shimmered faintly.

During his recent conversation with Nong Xingzhou, he finally gleaned a few scattered pieces of information, mainly about the purpose of the Blood Furnace.

Yet, this sole piece of knowledge was enough to alarm Zhang Jing.

"No wonder the Chu family showed such a look of utter despair upon seeing me take out the Blood Furnace. But what exactly is this furnace refining? Why does it require disciples of the Tao Sect as material?"

"Blood Furnace…"

He inexplicably felt as if he had seen something similar before.

At a certain moment.

A bolt of lightning streaked across his mind.

That's it! The Lower Realm!

Back in the Underground Palace beneath Heishan City in Langya County, he found a large blood-colored mill in a storage bag from the mouth of a tiger demon.

Although in terms of rank, that Blood Mill and this Blood Furnace were worlds apart, they nevertheless gave Zhang Jing an eerily similar feeling.

The key point was—

Zhang Jing closed his eyes and began to recall meticulously.

But in an instant, his eyes snapped open, revealing a grave look.

That's right.

The aura of these two items was indeed strikingly similar.

There was a very high probability that they originated from the same source.

No wonder upon first seeing this furnace, he felt a sense of déjà vu.

"So, might I have actually dealt with the entity behind this before?"

Zhang Jing felt chills running down his spine.

The depths surrounding the Blood Furnace might be far greater than he had imagined.

The River of Destiny Interception Immortal Seed was sending warnings.

He had a vague feeling that perhaps a great upheaval would occur in the not-too-distant future.

"A storm is brewing, and I must hasten to enhance my cultivation. At the very least, I should advance to the Dharma Phase or even the Unity Realm Stage to have some ability to protect myself."

"Alas, time…"

A hint of helplessness flickered across Zhang Jing's face.

His cultivation journey was still far too short, yet cultivation was not something one could rush.

His mind wandered to the Mud Pill Palace, and his Divine Sense swept directly over the mysterious Jade Talisman in the center, which was still slowly solidifying.

Within the quiet room.

Zhang Jing slowly withdrew his mind from the Mud Pill Palace, and the aura around him grew tranquil once again.
