Using Oneself as Seed was exceedingly difficult. Even with an Immortal King's assistance, success was not guaranteed.
The constraints imposed by the quality of the Dao Seed alone had caused the Immortal Ancient Method system to lose the vitality it should have possessed.
No wonder the immortals of Immortal Ancient had left only despair for those who came after them.
As for that tiny sliver of hope amid the despair, Li Zhi found it utterly insignificant.
