Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

A magnificent realm where immortal light and precious aura surged toward the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl constellations appeared gradually in the sight of the two, with endless celestial aura almost condensing into substance.

Even more, the terrifying presence of over a dozen True Immortals at their pinnacle lay hidden within, instilling fear in those who looked upon it.

"Grand and spectacular, truly a fine place."

One in red robes and the other in grey, two hunched figures quietly halted their steps, looking with great interest at the distant Dong Ming Blessed Land.

"Alright, once this matter is settled, and we both achieve the station of Heavenly Immortal, with Cave Heavens suspended high, wouldn't that be even more impressive than this?"

The robed elder in red spoke with a smile, a glint of longing involuntarily flashing in his eyes.

He had never imagined that, on the verge of his life's limit, he would actually encounter such a grand opportunity to become a Heavenly True Monarch.

And coincidentally, that mysterious being who wanted to erase someone turned out to be the youngster who had last caused a loss of face for himself and his peers.

Isn't this fortuitous?

The youngster was destined to die anyway, so why not give him a little push? What's there not to enjoy?

"Haha, Fellow Daoist speaks the extreme truth."

The elder in grey robes echoed on the side, his stern face breaking into waves of radiant smiles.

At this moment, his excitement surpassed even that of the elder in red robes.

To kill but a mere Golden Core and in exchange, gain an opportunity to achieve the stature of a Heavenly Immortal—such a rare fortune was hard to find through the ages.

Though the risk was a bit higher, what was that little risk when compared to the carefree and eternal life of a Heavenly Immortal, free from the suffering of samsara and the mortal world? Facing his impending death, why not make one last gamble?

In contemplation.

The two stepped out simultaneously, their figures gradually vanishing into the void.

Not long after.

Deep within the Dong Ming Blessed Land.

Three ancient figures stood opposite each other, their conversation lively and their spirits high, truly at ease.

"Fellow Dong Ming, is the treasure given to you refined yet? Now, we're just missing your part."

The red-robed elder asked eagerly.

"It is done."

Dong Ming True Immortal nodded.

"Excellent," the grey-robed elder took over the conversation, "since that's the case, let us discuss how to make our move most securely."

Dong Ming Earth Immortal remained silent, but a strange flash of light suddenly crossed the depths of his eyes.

"To my mind, the three of us together should forcefully break into that youngster's abode. A mere Golden Core cultivator—could he really defy the heavens?" the red-robed elder said with nonchalance.

No sooner had these words been spoken than they were dismissed by the grey-robed elder.

"Absolutely not, this concerns our path to Heavenly Immortality. We must still act with utmost caution to ensure success in one strike. If we startle the grass and the snake gets away, letting that youngster escape, then we would be in trouble."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist seems to have a deeper meaning in his words?"

Dong Ming Earth Immortal squinted his eyes with suspicion as he asked.

Upon hearing this.

The grey-robed elder stroked his beard and spoke with confidence:

"I don't mean to conceal anything from both of you, but according to the information I gathered recently, Zhang Jing's disciple nephew also has an avatar that has just entered the Extreme River of Time Secret Realm. No, what I should say is, it's uncertain which one is actually his main body right now."

"My suggestion is, Fellow Dong Ming and I will try to enter the disciple nephew's abode, while Fellow Wuyin enters the Extreme River of Time, locates the disciple nephew's traces, and directly kills him."

"With this two-pronged approach, we can be completely assured."

Upon hearing this plan.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist has truly well-considered planning, let's proceed according to your plan then," the red-robed elder declared loudly.

"What a marvelous plan, Fellow Daoist!"

Dong Ming Earth Immortal complimented, his face also revealing a faint smile.

He had been contemplating how he himself would coordinate with his disciple nephew to completely trap these two within the opponent's abode.

But now there was no need for that.

After all, even if he racked his brains, he could never come up with a plan to send them to their deaths as ingeniously brilliant as Bai Gusou's.

Less than a moment later.

The three figures left Dong Ming Blessed Land and then set off in two entirely opposite directions.
