The First Grotto-heaven, Open!

"Evergreen, Dao Seeds are hard to find, yet even harder to plant. I will need at least another hundred years before I might be able to plant one."

Zhong Li spoke leisurely.

He had stayed with Master Zhu for so long.

Naturally, it was not to cultivate his character and nurture his nature.

It was to seek a sliver of opportunity.

Li Rui said, "Zi Song, the Great Dao is elusive. The fact that you have attained a Dao Seed through empty realization already puts you above countless others. At the very least, you need not worry about the Contention for the Great Dao."

Very few knew of the Dao Seed Zhong Li had attained through empty realization.

But he knew.

Myriad Scrolls

This Dao Seed was exceedingly special. Put simply, so long as scholars in the world read, Zhong Li would gain a share of Dao affinity.

So long as there were people in the world reading, Zhong Li would not perish.

It was profoundly mysterious.

It bore some resemblance to the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Secret Dao Lord.

Of course.

Zhong Li still had a long road ahead before reaching that realm, but if he succeeded, it would be tantamount to dwelling upon the very roots of all Confucian Cultivators under heaven.

Fortunately, Divine Deer Academy was itself the place with the most scholars in the world, so the Contention for the Great Dao would not involve too many parties.

If a cultivator outside Divine Deer Academy had attained this Dao, they would not receive such favorable treatment.

"Evergreen, your aura is deep and robust. Has your Primordial Spirit left your body?"

Zhong Li asked with concern.

The higher a cultivator's cultivation, the fewer companions they had upon the same path.

Geniuses like him had even fewer.
