Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 722 You reap what you sow
"To attain the Dao Lord status, one must first obtain the Dao Fruit."

"Where did this fruit come from?"

"There are two paths. One is to wait for the Dao Fruit to transform into a seed, and then search for the Dao Seeds that have been lost between heaven and earth in order to nurture and cultivate a complete Dao Fruit. The other method is to attain emptiness, which is to open the Dao Seed on one's own."

"But no matter which one, the first step is for the primordial spirit to leave the body."

"Otherwise, how can we find that seed?"

The old Taoist priest, Honen, spoke eloquently.

Not only Li Rui, but also Liu Qing and Yan Kong pricked up their ears.

These are all the cultivation insights of the Venerable Master Honen.

The old Taoist Honen has been immersed in the Nascent Soul Realm for hundreds of years. Although he is not a True Lord, he has already found the Dao Seed, and his insights are invaluable.

“I also heard my father say that all the things in the past, the formation of the palace and the condensation of the embryo, were all for the purpose of finding the seed of the Dao. Only by planting the seed of the Dao in the purple palace can one achieve the realm of the True Lord of Integration.”

"Only then did we have a sliver of a chance to glimpse the secrets of the immortals."

Liu Qing, from a family with a strong scholarly tradition, spoke up at the opportune moment.

The old Taoist priest looked at Liu Qing with appreciation: "The words of the Divine Tree True Lord are indeed exquisite."

That Divine Tree True Lord was none other than Liu Qing's True Lord father.

"Alright, what I'm saying is to tell you three little guys that you have a long way to go, so don't be complacent and ruin your future."

After the old Taoist priest Honen finished speaking,

Then he drifted away.

Another incense-burning time passed.

Liu Qing and Yan Kong also went down the mountain.

soon.

At the summit of Changqing Peak, only Li Rui remained.

Only then did he examine himself inward.

A seed the size of a fingernail, exuding a mysterious and profound aura, lay quietly on the Dao Foundation.

"Seek the seed of the Way, and you will reap the fruit of the Way."

The words of the old Taoist priest echoed in Li Rui's mind.

His eyes turned strange.

Others are distracted in search of Dao Seeds, but he already has a Dao Seed lying in his Purple Mansion. What should he do?
Talk about it.

We should thank the Tianji clan for this.

Perhaps sensing his breakthrough, it directly moved him from the Book of Humans to the Book of Earth.

To know.

Not everyone at the Nascent Soul Realm can enter the Earthly Register.

The Heavenly Records not only added him to the Earthly Records, but also ranked him quite high, which is why the system's extra achievement was triggered.

They obtained this Chaos Dao Seed.

Although it is incomplete, it is still something that countless cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage dream of.

Moreover, as long as it is nurtured with immortal energy, it can become a complete Dao seed in the future.

It's even possible to rise directly to the rank of True Lord!

of course.

This Dao Seed was not obtained by him through his primordial spirit's travels, and it is still uncertain whether it is in harmony with his own Dao. This matter still needs time to be verified.

"Master."

As he was pondering this, he saw Liu Tiezhu and Wang Zhao approach him.

Li Rui smiled and said, "You're here."

His two apprentices were both very excited.

The commotion just now was clearly visible.

That's the Divine Transformation Ancestor!

Anyone would be excited if their master became a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

The Divine Ancestor was a figure capable of suppressing even a second-rate immortal dynasty.

Previously, Gao Tianxia's achievement of the Divine Realm was enough to elevate the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, which had no foundation, to the level of a second-rate power, making it almost a force to be reckoned with.

Now Li Rui has finally reached that level.

If we return to the State of Yu.

Their status is even higher than that of a prince!
I can't help but think back to those years in Qinghe.

How could we have achieved such good fortune back then?

Li Rui made a breakthrough.

All of Bai Yujing's disciples then reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

A few days later.

Changqing Peak remained unchanged, and Li Rui continued his seclusion in his cave as always.

Until this day.

An old man walked up Evergreen Peak.

"Is Fellow Daoist Changqing here?" A clear voice rang out from outside the cave.

With a loud crash, the stone gate opened, revealing Li Rui's figure.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chongzheng."

Li Rui recognized him at a glance.

This person is one of the seven elders of the Baiyujing Elder Council.

Chongzheng, the old Daoist, looked at Li Rui with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Changqing has broken through. According to the rules of Baiyujing, he can take charge of a region. After discussion, the elders' council plans to invite Fellow Daoist Changqing to take charge of Tianzhen Tower."

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Changqing does not have this intention, that is fine too."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He's no longer a novice just entering Baiyujing.

Of course I know.

This Baiyujing has a small twelve-story building and a large twelve-story building.

Although both are governed by experts at the Nascent Soul Realm, the status of the Lesser Twelfth Floor is undoubtedly far higher than that of the Greater Twelfth Floor.

This is roughly the same principle as why officials in the capital are more prestigious and respected than local officials.

To know.

Not just anyone at the Nascent Soul stage can become an elder in charge of the first floor.

Just look at Liu Qing and Yan Kong to know.

They're just deputy owners of the twelfth floor.

The last time someone like Li Rui could take charge of the entire floor simply by entering a state of mental focus was when it was True Lord Jianhe.

of course.

As a Daoist disciple, Li Rui has the freedom to remain detached from worldly affairs.

Even the elders couldn't force him.

Li Rui pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Since it is the elders' wish, I will respectfully comply."

Who is the Grand Elder of the Elder Council?
It was the Venerable Honen.

But today it is Master Chongzheng who has come, not Master Honen.

Why?

Li Rui naturally realized that this was to avoid suspicion.

Why should we avoid suspicion?
Of course, it's because the position of the Heavenly Array Tower Master is somewhat overstepping Li Rui's current level, which is why the old Taoist priest Faran needs to avoid suspicion.

How could he refuse something that the old Taoist priest Honen had gone to great lengths to get for him?

Moreover, he has never followed the path of reclusive asceticism.

Having the identity of the leader of the Heavenly Array Tower will greatly increase his influence in Baiyujing in the future.

Many of them are inexpensive.

"Good good."

Upon hearing Li Rui's agreement, he laughed heartily at the old Taoist priest.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Changqing, now that you are the master of the Heavenly Array Tower, according to the rules, your cave dwelling can be increased by another hundred feet."

The old Taoist priest kindly offered a reminder.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chongzheng."

Li Rui cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

He personally escorted the old Taoist priest down the mountain.

As he watched the old Taoist priest leave, Li Rui's eyes became deep.

Baiyujing is a place with a strict hierarchy.

Wherever there are people, there will be fights.

As far as he knew, there were quite a few factions involved.

Previously, due to insufficient strength and being away from home for many years, he did not get too involved. Now that he is a Dao Child at the Divine Transformation Realm, it is almost impossible for him to remain uninvolved.

Since there's no escaping it, you should at least give yourself enough confidence.

This is also why he agreed to become the master of Tianzhen Tower.

Besides.

The Jade Capital Heavenly Array Tower contains countless wondrous arrays.

If he could find an ancient and wondrous formation similar to the Nine Dragons Sealing the Heavens Formation, it might greatly benefit his control over a corner of the Celestial Court within the Immortal Tomb.

This is another reason why Li Rui agreed.

Liu Tiezhu and Wang Zhao stood behind Li Rui.

Eyes widened.

They heard it all clearly just now.

Not only has his master broken through to a higher level, but he has now become one of the most powerful elders in Baiyujing.

Incredible wealth!
Li Rui didn't even need to turn around to see that Liu Tiezhu and Wang Zhao were both drooling and wanted to stay.

He smiled faintly:
"Let's go, let's go see what the view from that Sky Tower is like!"
