Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 768 First Taste of the Dao Seed
"Xie Tingxuan was a reincarnation of a Dao Lord, and his ranking in the Earthly Register was extremely high, yet he died at the hands of a demonic cultivator."

Zhongli couldn't help but sigh.

The truth about Xie Tingxuan's death could not be hidden.

That was a genius of the Jie Dao Sect. As a powerful force on par with the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty, the Jie Dao Sect could not easily quell the matter. Their genius died on the land of the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty, so of course they demanded an explanation.

A True Lord led his people to the City of Divine Void.

Now everyone in the city knows it.

Although Xie Tingxuan's ranking in the Heavenly Secrets Record is not as high as his, this does not mean that Xie Tingxuan is weak. In fact, Xie Tingxuan's strength is extremely remarkable, which is why Zhong Li sighed so much.

"What a powerful demonic cultivator."

Li Rui was also filled with emotion.

Zhong Li: "We cultivators should know that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. There are countless unknown powerful figures hidden in this cultivation world. We must be very careful when traveling around the world."

"That demonic cultivator was able to kill Xie Tingxuan, so he must also have the inheritance of a Dao Lord behind him."

"It's just that we don't know which reclusive demonic sect it comes from."

Zhongli analyzed.

Xie Tingxuan is no ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator; he is a genius of the Jie Dao Sect, a reincarnation of a Dao Lord, and naturally possesses Dao Lord-level abilities.

But that's it.

They died just like everyone else.

Then there is only one possibility: that a demonic cultivator at the Dao Lord level also made a move.

"Indeed."

Li Rui nodded.

Of course, he wouldn't say that Xie Tingxuan was killed because he was distracted.

Now that clone has escaped from the Divine Void Immortal Dynasty, and with the Immortal Court covering up the cause and effect, even a Dao Lord would not be able to find it.

This was also the source of his confidence in killing Xie Tingxuan.

Zhong Li guessed correctly; Xie Tingxuan did indeed possess the methods of a Dao Lord, and he was able to succeed because of the immortal tree in his Purple Mansion Immortal Court.

As a gift from the immortals, it naturally possesses supreme power.

If the Six Signs Tree bears two fruits, he can then activate the immortal's gift twice.

He used this gift from the immortal to completely erase the methods that the Daoist Lord had left on Xie Tingxuan.

That trace of Daoist intent is gone.

Even a Dao Lord couldn't kill him from thousands of miles away.

Xie Tingxuan is dead.

The Jiedao Sect demanded an explanation from the Shenxu Immortal Dynasty, and Tianxuan King naturally became the target of everyone's criticism. He was already overwhelmed with the death of Xie Tingxuan and had no time to care about Li Rui.

Zhongli finished the tea in his cup:

"Alright, Brother Li, be more careful when you go out in the future. These are truly troublesome times."

"By the way, Master Zhu said that you should visit his residence more often."

Say it.

Zhongli then stood up, pushed open the door, and left.

After Zhong Li walked away, Gu Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, "This demonic cultivator is really arrogant. He even dared to kill Xie Tingxuan."

Cui He chimed in, "That's right."

Li Rui smiled, turned around, and went back into the room.

Sit cross-legged with eyes closed.

His consciousness drifted tens of thousands of miles away.

In the dense forest, a young man was using his magic to refine five small towers, each no bigger than the palm of a hand.

The Immortal Execution Tower!
Li Rui's clone killed Xie Tingxuan and naturally took the Immortal Execution Tower with him.

In addition, there were two small towers.

He had a total of seven Immortal Execution Towers!

With only two more towers to go, I can unleash the Immortal Slaughtering Formation just like the ancient Daoist Lord Natto the Pagoda, and my combat power will definitely increase greatly.

Li Rui did not choose to place the Immortal Execution Tower on his main body, but instead left it on his clone.

He was originally a practitioner of self-cultivation, not reliant on external aids.

The seven additional Immortal Execution Towers will not significantly increase the combat power of the main body.

But when used to create a clone, it becomes an excellent way to deceive others.

With the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Immortal Slaughtering Tower, the clone can make up for the 30% deficiency, and has a full 90% of the combat power of the original body.

The ritual was performed for a full seven days and seven nights.

Li Rui's clone then withdrew its magical power, but instead of returning to the Divine Void Immortal Dynasty, it headed in the opposite direction.

Just a few days ago.

An unnamed demonic cultivator rushed onto the Heavenly Secrets Record and Earthly Book.

Li Rui's name remained unchanged. This confirmed Li Rui's suspicions.

If even the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord cannot perceive the relationship between the clone and the main body, then one can be completely at ease.

It's perfect for having the clone do things that the main body can't do.

"The Taiyin (Great Yin) is born from the essence of water. It corresponds to the Xu and Wei (Void and Danger) constellations, and is formed by the combination of a tortoise and a snake... It circulates throughout the six directions, and its power over all spirits is awe-inspiring."

A sound rang in Li Rui's ears.

in vivo.

【True Martial Arrival】shimmered with a deep, dark light.

Say it again.

The seed of the Tao does not need to be fully planted to be effective.

After finding the seed of the Dao.

Nourished by the divine essence of the Great Dao, one can also obtain some of the power of the Dao Seed.

Just like the old Daoist Honen back then, although he was unable to comprehend the immortal energy and thus stopped progressing at the Nascent Soul Realm, he had immersed himself in the Dao Seed for many years, and his strength was far beyond that of ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Li Rui was able to kill Xie Tingxuan that day precisely because of a sliver of the divine power of [True Martial Descent].

He reached the Divine Transformation Realm.

The Tao is the foundation.

Everything before was for this step.

It is precisely because Li Rui walks so steadily and has such a deep foundation that his understanding of the Dao Seed must far surpass that of other cultivators.

【True Martial Arrival】is inherently a Dao fruit that leans towards killing and warfare.

It is quite similar to sword cultivators.

After attaining enlightenment through pure killing, one's killing power becomes extremely terrifying, as can be seen from the dragon slayer.

Furthermore, Li Rui's path to enlightenment is based on force, which aligns with the [True Martial Arrival], making him even more terrifying.

Multiple additions.

How could Xie Tingxuan possibly survive?

Having tasted the power of the Dao Seed for the first time, Li Rui became even more determined to nurture it.

"It is said that the Dao Seed contains a supreme divine power, which even a True Monarch can only master a fraction of. Only by forming the Dao Fruit can one fully master it."

"It is precisely because of this Dao Fruit divine power that the Dao Lord can regard all living beings as ants."

Li Rui thought to himself.

The mysterious light of 【True Martial Arrival】became increasingly profound.

To the west of the Divine Void Immortal Dynasty lies a barren wasteland stretching for tens of thousands of miles. This place is the junction of three continents, a vacuum zone between the three major powers.

Therefore, it attracted a large number of independent cultivators and demonic cultivators.

It is known as the Chaotic Demon Plain.

"Have you found that person?"

In a huge, magnificent city in the Chaotic Demon Plains, an old man asked.

"We searched, but that person seemed to have appeared out of thin air, with no trace of them, and we couldn't find them anywhere."

A man with a gloomy face spoke in a deep voice.

Just a few months ago.

They heard a piece of news.

What's even more surprising is that Xie Tingxuan was killed by a demonic cultivator, and no one knows the identity of that demonic cultivator.

Even in the Heavenly Secrets Record, he was referred to as an unnamed demonic cultivator.

This caught their attention.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Keep searching."

"Yes."

The man nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

The old man gazed at the dark sky, lost in thought.

Xie Tingxuan. They want to kill too.

But just before they were about to take action, he died outside Shenxu City. Moreover, he was a demonic cultivator, which made the old man curious about the origin of that person.

His disciple was nearby at the time.

"This person is actually from Taihua Prefecture."

"Could it be a branch of my lineage?"

of course.

Even if they are not from the same school, such a talent is worth recruiting.
