Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

On a deserted island not far from Yanxia Island.

Streaks of fire-red heat or pale green vitality intertwined, radiant spells flicker. Intense spiritual energy continuously spread out, stirring up clouds of sand and dust.

About a quarter of an hour later.

All was calm again.

In the battle's epicenter.

The previously dense vegetation had been blown away, exposing a badly damaged brown earth.

Two young figures sat cross-legged.

It was none other than Chen Xiandao and Shen Qingqing.

At this moment.

A trace of surprise lingered on Chen Xiandao's face as he stared blankly at the slender woman standing before him.

"Fairy Shen actually quietly advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refinement?!"

"It's only out of luck. Isn't Brother Chen just half a step away from the seventh level of Qi Refinement?" Shen Qingqing reassured with a smile.

"A slow step leads to a slower journey! Although it seems only half a step away, it will take at least a month."

Chen Xiandao shook his head and sighed.

"By the way," He seemed to recall his purpose for coming here and turned his attention to Shen Qingqing, asking: "Fairy Shen, you must have met with our Senior Brothers of the inner courtyard recently. Have you decided on which Pavilion you'll join after you get out of the Minor Void of the Gods?"

"Heavenly Craft, Supervision, or the Legacy Pavilion?"

His eyes radiated a hint of curiosity.

"What about you, Brother Chen?" Shen Qingqing countered.

"I..."

Hearing that, Chen Xiandao revealed a touch of hesitation, then declared firmly: "I have no intention of joining these three Pavilions. To be honest with Fairy Shen, I want to give the Spirit Tao Pavilion a try."

Shen Qingqing let out a soft gasp before saying:

"The Spirit Tao Pavilion that is in charge of issuing tasks and overseeing all Tao Merits?"

Across from her.

Noticing Shen Qingqing's expression.

Chen Xiandao suddenly grinned and said, "It seems Fairy Shen and I are thinking the same thing."

"With opportunities for superior status offered by Spirit Tao and Thousand Law Pavilions, of course, we must strive for it."

Shen Qingqing maintained her usual expression.

"That's true, but the Senior Brothers of the Spirit Tao Pavilion did not directly invite us. They want to see our performance in the Minor Void of the Gods first."

"As expected of one of the top two Pavilions in the Inner Courtyard!"

Chen Xiandao's eyes suddenly erupted in a bright, fervent light.

A trace of longing was visible on Shen Qingqing's face.

At this point.

A familiar, youthful figure unconsciously popped into her mind.

After pondering a moment.

Shen Qingqing looked directly at Chen Xiandao, her lips barely opening: "Do you still remember Brother Zhang Jing?"

As her voice trailed off.

Chen Xiandao was momentarily taken aback, then recalled something and wore a faint smirk.

"Brother Zhang, of course, I remember! The scene when he used a magic artifact shield to slap someone's face is still fresh in my memory."

"He should be in Luodu's team. Fairy Shen, you suddenly mentioned Brother Zhang. Are you missing him?"

A hint of a lewd expression appeared unpredictably on Chen Xiandao's face.

"What nonsense!" Shen Qingqing retorted sharply.

"I mean, we are both desperately striving to join the Spirit Tao Pavilion, but Brother Zhang will likely be able to join the equally prestigious Thousand Law Pavilion quite easily in the future."

"Why?" Chen Xiandao asked doubtfully.

"You didn't know?"

Now it was Shen Qingqing who was surprised.

She couldn't help widening her eyes: "The 'Plague God' from Langya County, that's Brother Zhang. No way, no way, there's actually someone who doesn't know?"

"The 'Plague God' is Brother Zhang!"

There was a momentary pause on Chen Xiandao's face.

He was busy hunting devils to train himself during that time.

Although he heard of the 'Plague God' many times on the battlefield, how could he have imagined that the 'Plague God' would turn out to be Zhang Jing? He had assumed that it was one of the Senior Brothers.

Only now.

Did he fully understand the meaning of Shen Qingqing's words.

"Indeed. With such remarkable talent in talisman making, when he attains the tenth level of Qi Refinement, the Senior Brothers of the Inner Courtyard's Thousand Law Pavilion should directly invite him."

"It's a shame that the opening of the Minor Void of the Gods is too soon, otherwise..."

...

"Otherwise what, Senior Brother?"

Zhang Jing stared at the dumbfounded Senior Brother Li, a gleam of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Whoosh, whoosh---

A heavy hitched breathing suddenly resonated within the quiet room.

At a cultivation level like Senior Brother Li's, he's unable to control his breath!

Such an incredible event was happening right before Zhang Jing's eyes.

As Senior Brother Li seemed a bit discomposed.

Zhang Jing quickly lowered his head, eyes to nose, nose to heart, saying nothing, and even his breath had become imperceptible.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Senior Brother Li, who was gradually recovering, quickly controlled his facial expressions, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and laughed at Zhang Jing, "You must think I'm hilarious, junior brother."

"What would be there for junior brother to laugh at when he saw nothing?"

Zhang Jing replied, lowering his eyebrows.

Seeing this.

Senior Brother Li nodded in satisfaction.

The more he looked at the junior brother in front of him, the more he liked him.

Extremely gifted and upright nature, he was simply a gift from heaven to the Luodu squad!

Superior cultivation method, highly matched!

These two phrases, either one is extraordinary, let alone both appearing on one person.

And within a foot!

He had never even heard of such a thing before.

The degree of this match is enough to equalize the gap between Junior Brother Zhang and those with A-grade talent! In other words... is there any difference between him and A-grade now?

He's definitely an A-grade monster!

Yes, Junior Brother Zhang Yangchu!

Senior Brother Li suddenly remembered Zhang Yangchu, who recruited Zhang Jing. He couldn't help but make a decision silently. When he returned, he must reward him greatly!

This kid had unintentionally invited a big Buddha back.

Back to reality.

Senior Brother Li looked at Zhang Jing with fiery eyes.

"Junior brother, regarding the superior cultivation method, please keep it quiet for now. Also, I predict that you will break through the seventh layer of Qi refinement soon."

"After breaking through, remember to find me immediately. By then, the Water Element Pill will no longer be suitable for cultivation. I will provide you with a higher-grade Spirit Pill."

"Understood, senior brother."

Zhang Jing nodded in agreement.

Although he didn't know why Senior Brother Li asked him not to publicize it, he didn't ask further.

After all, he isn't a showy person by nature.

Being low-key is what he prefers.

As for the higher-grade Spirit Pill mentioned by Senior Brother Li.

Zhang Jing admitted that he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Soon after.

Carrying a total of nine bottles of Water Element Pills, Zhang Jing left the Luodu Building with a beaming smile.

Not long after he left.

In the quiet room.

A Communication Talisman suddenly appeared in Senior Brother Li's hand, and spiritual power was quickly injected into it.

Suddenly the Divinity fluctuation of Senior Brother Xie Yu came from the talisman.

"Junior brother, have you confirmed it?"

"Senior brother, I have already confirmed it with Junior Brother Zhang Jing. The Void True Method of the Sea Dragon, with a high degree of match, distance... is within a foot!"

"Within a foot?!"

Senior Brother Xie Yu's divinity fluctuated unstably.

The Communication Talisman started to make 'ka-ka' mourning sounds one after another, as if it would be shattered in the next moment.

The next moment.

I saw the divinity anxiously flickering.

"Junior Brother, keep a close eye on Junior Brother Zhang Jing's cultivation progress."

"If he is telling the truth, he should be able to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refinement in at most a month and a half."

"You can come to me directly to get the Yuanshui Spirit... Forget it, I will bring the Yuanshui Spirit to you when the time comes, and meet him in person."

As soon as Xie Yu finished speaking.

The Communication Talisman in Senior Brother Li's hand suddenly burst open with a 'bang'.

Fragments of the talisman fluttered around.

On the other side.

Xie Yu put away the Communication Talisman with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The Void True Method of the Sea Dragon, according to the records, should correspond to the Tao Intent of the Taoyin Sea Dragon in the Small Void of Ten Thousand Gods.

A match within a foot.

There is a high probability that Junior Brother Zhang Jing will gain some insights and may be able to build a superior Tao foundation in the future.

The premise is—— he didn't lie!

In addition to Chen Xiandao, who I am currently pursuing, if I can seize this opportunity, the Legacy Pavilion might become one of the 'Top Three Pavilions' in a hundred years time.

With such a credit in hand.

His chance to achieve the Golden Core and Divine Skill realm in the future will be greatly increased.

As for what the Pavilion Master said before about being on the True Spirit List and upgrading to the Upper Realm.

Xie Yu smiled bitterly.

He knew his own limitations.

He is not capable of that.

It is better to honestly strive for the chance to achieve the Golden Core and Divine Skill realm in the Lower Realm.

It doesn't matter if his realm is incomplete.

A lifespan of a thousand years is enough for him.
