Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

The third phase begins!

The loud sound echoed through the sky.

There was a rare hint of excitement in this voice!

Everyone in the audience fell silent instantly, and dense gazes rushed to the ten performance stages like a tide.

Periphery.

The people sitting cross-legged on the ten stone platforms in front raised their heads one after another. Strong spiritual energy fluctuations squeezed and collided with each other, faintly emitting thunder, fire and lightning.

coming!

Zhang Jing did not hesitate and took a step forward.

this moment.

The movements of the sixteen people who had been waiting for a long time were surprisingly consistent. The expressions on their faces were either profound, exciting, or expecting, but there was no fear or uneasiness.

The only sound left in the quiet air was the sound of heavy footsteps.

As we approach the performance stage step by step.

Zhang Jing's mood actually started to surge a little bit.

And right now.

Two shrill wind sounds sounded, and then Zhang Jing felt as if two black shadows were passing by in front of his eyes.

That is--

He stopped and followed the sound.

At this time, two figures, a man and a woman, were already standing on the east and west sides of the first performance stage, with spiritual lights flickering on their bodies.

Chen Xiandao, Shen Qingqing.

Zhang Jing muttered these two familiar yet unfamiliar names, and his eyes almost froze on these two people.

The other thirteen people also chose to stop where they were. They wanted to see how strong these two people were.

Senior Brother Liu who was above saw this scene and did not give any warning, but just watched quietly.

boom--

It was as if they had fought each other before.

The two people on the stage didn't say a word and attacked each other directly.

In an instant, Chen Xiandao, who was wrapped in red Dao lines and whose every move was filled with majestic power and scorching aura, approached Shen Qingqing.

But then Shen Qingqing quickly made a magic trick.

A ray of light flashed by, and the other party had disappeared.

The next moment, a strange green wind suddenly blew on the performance stage. This green wind quickly condensed into a blade and slashed towards Chen Xiandao with lightning speed.

Two people come and go.

The movement became more and more terrifying.

finally.

After a muffled groan, Chen Xiandao left the first Dharma performance stage with a calm expression, then walked straight to the center of the second Dharma performance stage, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes as if no one else was around.

It seemed certain that no one would dare challenge him.

And this is indeed the case.

When the battle on the first stage of Dharma performance came to an end, the remaining people walked towards other stages of Dharma performance, and some who couldn't wait had already boarded the stage.

but--

The third performance stage was empty.

At this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Jing's face, and his back slowly straightened.

He looked towards the third performance stage.

Zhang Jing has not forgotten that in addition to getting ranked in the top ten and receiving Taoist rewards this time, he also wants to take this opportunity to see if he can join the top ten task teams.

What were those people looking at? What is the Taoist temple looking at?

Naturally, it is the performance in the assessment.

Thinking of this,

Zhang Jing strode directly towards the empty third performance stage.

Since no one else dared to do it, he, Zhang, would be rude.

Footsteps sounded.

Following Zhang Jing's movements, the eyes of others froze for an instant. Whether it was those who were fighting on the stage or those who were watching in the audience, the same thought suddenly appeared in their minds at this moment:

Who is this person?

Off stage.

Ji Bochang looked at Zhang Jing's movements and couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

He seemed to be determining whether the Brother Zhang today and the Brother Zhang he knew in the past were the same person?

Not long after.

Zhang Jing stood in the center of the performance stage, waiting quietly.

Looks full of surprise and suspicion from all directions threatened to overwhelm him.

Zhang Jing naturally understood why.

Although the third performance platform is ranked third, because there are two first-class monsters, the third performance platform actually represents the first of many second-class geniuses.

No one came up just now because everyone was paying attention to this position and no one wanted to break the balance.

not far away.

Five pairs of eyes stared at Zhang Jing.

A woman walked out from among the five people, with strong confidence on her face, and slowly climbed onto the third performance stage and walked to the opposite side of Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing raised his head.

He saw the woman opposite looking at him with a smile, cupping her hands gracefully and saying:

This is Xu Wan.

This is Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing responded with the same smile.

You dare to be the first to come here. Brother Zhang's courage is amazing, but I don't know what his strength is. This magic sword of mine is extremely sharp. Brother Zhang, please be careful.

While talking.

A delicate magical sword suddenly appeared in the woman's hand, and the sword's edge flashed with a solid edge, which made people's hearts tremble just by looking at it.

A bright light flashed.

The magic sword disappeared from the woman's hand, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of Zhang Jing's eyes, its sharp breath almost piercing his throat.

Zhang Jing's eyes narrowed, and his eyes opened.

The trajectory of this flying sword was immediately captured by him.

Weng——

The spiritual power in Dantian surged, and then poured into the water cloud shield in large quantities.

The water cloud shield flashed slightly and appeared directly in front of the magic sword.

Ding!

The woman's flying sword was blocked by the water cloud shield.

But the dark aura on the shield was almost shattered by the terrifying edge on the sword.

One hit is not enough.

The woman controlled the magic sword and shuttled around Zhang Jing like a snake, constantly looking for opportunities.

The sharp edge of the sword almost made the hairs on Zhang Jing's body stand up.

Second level of Qi training! What a sharp flying sword.

A hint of admiration flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

He knew that there were no easy ones who dared to participate in the battle for the top ten.

Something moved in my heart.

The old flying sword in the storage bag was taken out by Zhang Jing, and black spiritual power was wrapped around it. The flying sword turned into a black light, and in just a moment, it traveled to the side of the woman's flying sword and slashed hard at the sword body.

What?

When the woman saw that Zhang Jing took out a flying sword in addition to the imperial shield, her eyes widened and she was slightly stunned.

Chance!

Zhang Jing controlled the magic weapon Flying Sword to block the woman's magic sword, and at the same time, spiritual power was once again infused into the Shuiyun Shield.

The water cloud shield instantly turned into a black light, like a heavy hammer, hitting the woman's delicate face.

A bad wind suddenly arises!

The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly took out a talisman and activated it instantly.

A white body-protecting spiritual light suddenly appeared on her body.

Bang!

The water cloud shield hit the opponent's protective spiritual light, but it could only make it shake for a while.

Is the talisman the trump card? It's a pity that it's useless in front of me.

The ice-condensing edge technique with the added sharpness characteristic is best at dealing with this.

A smile appeared in the corner of Zhang Jing's eyes.

In the Five Magic Spirit River, a wandering magic fish suddenly jumped out of the water and turned into a solid edge, wrapping around the index finger of Zhang Jing's right hand.

A light tap with your fingertips.

The ice-melting edge technique arrived in the blink of an eye, and in the woman's horrified eyes, her body-protecting aura was easily torn into pieces.

next moment.

The water cloud shield is getting bigger and bigger in sight.

Duang——

With an extremely clear sound, the woman flew straight out. A lump the size of half a fist suddenly appeared on her fair forehead. Her eyes turned white and she looked miserable.

The woman's flying sword suddenly lost control and fell on the performance stage.

hiss--

Seeing this scene, no matter whether they were on stage or off stage, there were continuous gasps of air.

I don't know if it was related to his ice-condensing sharpness, but Zhang Jing only felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot.

One after another complex glances were cast at Zhang Jing.

During the first stage performance, Shen Qingqing saw Zhang Jing's rough movements, her mouth opened unconsciously, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes.

And in the second Dharma performance stage.

Chen Xiandao's originally calm face could no longer be maintained at this moment.

His expression was distorted, he suppressed laughter, and gave Zhang Jing a thumbs-up with one hand.

In the audience, Uncle Ji couldn't help but sigh. He felt that his brother's cultivation was indeed ridiculously strong, but... it seemed that there was really no hope.

Zhang Jing, do you want to rest? Senior Brother Liu's voice sounded in his ears while suppressing a smile.

No need, senior brother.

Zhang Jing felt that this battle did not consume much spiritual energy, so he simply did not rest.

But at this moment.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Zhang Jingxun looked up and found that the other person was actually the slender man who nodded to him at first.

The man looked at Zhang Jing indifferently and said coldly:

My name is Xia Fangming. Brother Zhang should have heard of my name.

Xia Fangming?

A look of enlightenment suddenly appeared on Zhang Jing's face.

This guy is the first second-level genius who has mastered the practice of contemplation, and his talent is second only to those two first-level monsters. Moreover, Zhang Jing also heard that the other party had already joined a certain task team ranked among the top ten in the outer courtyard in advance.

No wonder the expression on his face was so calm when he learned the rules just now.

It turns out that he prides himself on being strong enough.

And Xu Wan just came up to challenge him, maybe it was because he occupied the opponent's reserved position.

Brother Xia's name, I think there should be no newcomers who have just joined the Taoist Academy this year who don't know it, right?

The smile on Zhang Jing's face did not diminish at all.

Brother Zhang, you should never be so cruel to Xu Wan. If I don't take action, what will I say when she wakes up? I hope you can forgive me.

Xia Fangming said expressionlessly.

Please advise.

Zhang Jing said with a serious expression.

The moment the words fell.

The illusory mind's eye opened again, and the entire performance stage was included in the mind's eye perception.

This Xia Fangming may be the strongest opponent he has encountered in this assessment, so Zhang Jing naturally did not dare to relax his vigilance.

good!

Xia Fangming shouted loudly.

The mana that was close to the limit of the second level of Qi Refining boiled instantly.

A bronze mirror slowly floated in front of him, and layers of spiritual light appeared in the mirror, shrouding Xia Fangming in it.

Then he saw a golden hammer being thrown by Xia Fangming. The hammer was filled with spiritual light and its aura was as heavy as a mountain.

As soon as the golden hammer appeared, it hit Zhang Jing directly.

The speed is not very fast, but the heavy aura exuding from the golden hammer is always blocking Zhang Jing's movements, making it difficult for him to avoid it.

Bang!

The golden hammer hit hard, and the entire acting stage seemed to tremble.

Not far away, Zhang Jing barely ran away and wiped the cold sweat from his head.

I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable to be hit by this thing.

The magic weapon Flying Sword was raised again, and under the control of Zhang Jing, it turned into a faint light that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. It suddenly appeared in front of Xia Fangming and slashed it down hard.

being attacked.

Xia Fangming's protective aura began to distort, and the flying sword seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move forward.

Seeing this, Xia Fangming couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Zhang Jing across from him, using his magic shield to fight with his golden hammer, but not letting the golden hammer touch the magic shield even a little bit. At the same time, he controlled the flying sword and almost cut through the body-protecting aura derived from the bronze mirror. , I couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in my heart.

This guy's control of the magic weapon is a bit too strong.

There is also the powerful spell that just cut through Xu Wan's protective aura.

No wonder he dares to board the third performance stage!

Unfortunately--

Xia Fangming's spiritual consciousness began to outline the spell patterns. After three or five breaths, he saw three mud and stone puppets appearing at his feet, rushing straight towards Zhang Jing with a fierce momentum.

the other side.

Seeing that even the flying sword, a magical weapon, could not cut away the body-protecting aura on the opponent's body with a full blow, at the same time, the Shuiyun Shield had begun to collapse because it had been entangled with the big golden hammer for too long.

Zhang Jing couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of magical weapon is of little use when dealing with some powerful enemies.

Sure enough, you still have to rely on various skills.

The Five Spiritual Rivers flowed extremely fast, and the five ice-light spell fishes in the river instantly jumped out of the river and turned into strands of ice-blue spiritual light that enveloped Zhang Jing.

boom!

The big golden hammer hit Zhang Jing's body-protecting spiritual light directly.

But the next moment, when Xia Fangming was stunned, Zhang Jing's body-protecting aura didn't even flicker, and the golden hammer's attack seemed to be scratching an itch.

Just - how is this possible!

at the same time.

The remaining two magic fishes in the Five Magic Spiritual River fell into Zhang Jing's hands and turned into two ice-condensing and sharp-edged techniques with [sharpness], and immediately leaped out like a swimming dragon.

This time, Zhang Jing did not prepare the double blessing of Ice Condensation and Sharpening Technique, mainly because he was afraid that the disciples in the inner courtyard would find it difficult to explain.

However, after he upgraded to the second level of Qi Refining, the power of the Ice Condensation and Edge Technique with the [Sharpness] attribute reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Enough to use!

Wherever the sharp edge passed, the earth and stone puppet was cut in half.

Then the spells didn't stop at all, and they all struck at the layered protective aura on Xia Fangming's body again.

Click——

There was a crisp sound.

All the protective aura dissipated.

Seeing the terrifying edge wandering in front of him, Xia Fangming couldn't help but show a look of fear on his frosty face, and shouted:

I surrender!

The moment the sound rang out, there was silence all around.

Xia Fangming was in shock, holding the extremely dim bronze mirror of the magic weapon, and slowly walked down the third performance stage.

this moment.

Everyone first looked at Xia Fangming's miserable and embarrassed appearance, and then fixed their gazes on Zhang Jing, who was enveloped in the ice-blue protective aura, and felt a sigh in their hearts.

Why has there been no news about this person before?

No matter how powerful the magic weapon is, the magic can reach such an outrageous level.

It's over now!

The eight places were originally tight, but now there is one less place.

With Xia Fangming's lesson learned, everyone at the scene turned their attention to the other seven performance stages.

After all, there are only three opportunities to challenge.

Going up even though you know you will fail is either stupid or foolish.

Is there anyone else who wants to challenge the third performance stage?

Senior Brother Liu's voice sounded.

But no one answered for a long time.
