Discussion: The Origin Dao Physique
As expected, Zhang Jianchen changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious:
"The real reason I've summoned you all here today is to discuss something else entirely, something that concerns the success or failure of our conquest, even more important than the army's departure."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room, and said, word by word:
"The Origin Dao Physique."
As soon as the four words were spoken, the hall fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an even louder discussion.
"The Origin Dao Physique? What is that?"
"Never heard of that... Is it some kind of special constitution?"
Could it be the kind of constitution from High Antiquity legends?
"..."
Most sect leaders looked blank, clearly having never heard of this name before.
Only a few high-ranking members of established sects had their expressions suddenly change, their eyes revealing shock.
Lu Wangchuan, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, stroked his long beard and slowly spoke, "Is the Alliance Leader referring to the kind of innate Innate Dao Body that is born from the Dao Realm Origin and is of the same origin as heaven and earth?"
"Exactly." Zhang Jianchen nodded slightly.
Lu Wangchuan sighed, "I've only seen a few words about it in the oldest books of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, and I thought it was just a legend. I never expected it to actually exist."
Seeing his appearance, everyone became even more curious.
Even Elder Lu Wangchuan said it was a legendary physique, so what exactly is so extraordinary about it?
Zhang Jianchen raised his hand and pressed down, and the hall fell silent again. He slowly explained:
"The Origin Dao Physique is formed from the condensation of the Dao Realm Origin. It is a rare occurrence, occurring only once every ten thousand years. Those who possess this physique are born to resonate with the Dao Realm Origin and have an extremely strong attraction to the primordial energy."
The Primordial Dao Fruit is precisely the essence of the Dao Realm Origin.
In other words, the Origin Dao Physique is the natural guide to the Primordial Dao Fruit.
"With the Origin Dao Physique by our side, our success rate in finding and guiding Dao Fruit Dao Fruit increase by at least 50%. More importantly, when Dao Fruit recognizes its master, the Origin Dao Physique can greatly weaken the backlash of the Dao Fruit, reducing the risk of seizing the fruit."
A collective gasp filled the hall.
A 50% success rate! What does that mean? The original 50/50 situation between good and evil has become a 100/10 situation with the Origin Dao Physique! This is simply a divine artifact for seizing the fruit!
"Alliance Leader, where is this Origin Dao Physique now?" someone asked urgently.
"In Flying Immortal Prefecture," Zhang Jianchen said, "Two Loose Immortal ancestors joined forces to deduce it, expending a great deal of effort to capture a trace of the original aura."
This person has likely not yet awakened their physique and has a low cultivation level, likely mingling among low-level cultivators in Flying Immortal Prefecture. Their specific identity and location require further investigation.
Upon hearing this, everyone's minds began to stir.
Since such a treasure exists, we must get our hands on it no matter what.
At this moment, the sect leader of the Pill Cauldron Sect frowned and said, "Alliance Leader, although the Origin Dao Physique is good, we don't even know where the person is. How easy is it to find them? Right now, the demonic army is pressing in. If we split our forces to search, won't it delay the defense of Chaos Abyss? What if the demonic army takes the opportunity to launch a fierce attack? It would be a loss for us."
Many people agreed with these words.
After all, the Dao Fruit is the foundation, while the Origin Dao Physique is merely an auxiliary.
Ignoring the Dao Fruit and instead searching for someone in the ethereal void, what if we fail to find them and lose the initiative in the Chaos Abyss? That would be a huge loss.
Zhang Jianchen remained calm, clearly having anticipated this. "This alliance has three questions for you."
First, the Chaos Abyss is treacherous, heavily fortified. Even if our army arrives first, can we guarantee that we will find the core of the Dao Fruit first?
Secondly, Yan Tianjin personally took action. In a one-on-one fight, besides the two Loose Immortal Ancestors, who in our righteous path could reliably defeat him?
Third, what would be the consequences if the Origin Dao Physique fell into the hands of the demonic path?
Three questions left everyone speechless.
Wang Heng spoke at the opportune moment, his voice cold and hard. "The restrictions of the Chaos Abyss are complex, and the primordial energy is chaotic. Our search for the core of the Dao Fruit is like finding a needle in a haystack."
With the guidance of the Origin Dao Physique, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
As for Yan Tianjin, with the blessing of his Origin Dao Physique, his Dao Fruit is more inclined towards us. No matter how high the Demon Emperor's cultivation is, it will be difficult for him to defy the heavens."
He paused, then emphasized, "On the other hand, if the Origin Dao Physique falls into the hands of the demonic path, what good is it if we occupy the outer perimeter of the Chaos Abyss? The Dao Fruit will be directly lured away by the demonic path, and we will have gained nothing."
"At that time, with the demonic forces bestowed upon him, Yan Tianjin will advance further, and our righteous path will be in grave danger."
These words carried weight and no one in the hall dared to refute them.
Yes, the Origin Dao Physique is an asset if you obtain it yourself, but it's a death warrant if the enemy gets it.
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of the demonic path.
"So..." Zhang Jianchen slowly stood up, his aura slightly released, "The alliance's intention is: the army is to prepare, and in three days we will march to the Chaos Abyss, seize the outer strongholds, and confront the demonic path."
At the same time, an elite team was secretly dispatched to Flying Immortal Prefecture to search for the Origin Dao Physique and bring the person back safely.
"It will take time for the Dao Fruit to mature, we still have time. Even if the Origin Dao Physique is ultimately useless, we must never let the demonic path obtain it."
Gentlemen, do you have any objections?
The people inside the hall exchanged glances and then stood up.
"We will obey the Alliance Leader's command!"
With the strategy decided, the next step was to select the right people.
This task is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.
The difficulty lies in the vastness of Flying Immortal Prefecture and the hundreds of millions of cultivators. Finding an unawakened Origin Dao Physique from this sea of people is like finding a needle in a haystack, requiring extremely strong investigative and deductive abilities. The ease lies in the fact that the other party's cultivation level is not high, so once found, bringing them back is not difficult.
However, risks also exist.
Firstly, the demonic path must be constantly watching the actions of the righteous path.
If the righteous path causes a major disturbance, the demonic path will definitely become suspicious.
When the demonic path learns of the Origin Dao Physique, they will inevitably send people to search for it, leading to inevitable clashes along the way.
Secondly, this matter needs to be carried out in secrecy. Once the news leaks out, not only will the person be impossible to find, but we may also fall into the trap set by the demonic forces.
Therefore, the leader must meet several conditions: his cultivation level must be high enough, at least at the Dao Integration Realm, but not higher than the Dao Integration Realm. If Void Refinement Realm goes out, it will cause a great commotion, and the demonic path will not be able to ignore it.
Secondly, one must be able to handle unexpected situations, be good at investigation or deduction, be able to accurately locate the source of the aura, act prudently, be discreet and meticulous, and not be ostentatious or cause trouble.
The most important thing is to be very familiar with the environment of Flying Immortal Prefecture.
"Does anyone have a suitable candidate to recommend?" Zhang Jianchen's gaze swept across the entire room.
The crowd below pondered.
After a moment, an elder spoke up, "In my humble opinion, Elder Lu Tianji is proficient in divination and possesses exquisite divine sense, making him the most suitable person to lead the team there."
Many people nodded in agreement. Lu Tianji was the foremost expert in righteous divination, and with his help, the probability of finding the Origin Dao Physique was the highest.
Lu Tianji bowed slightly and declined, saying, "I am getting old. Although my spiritual sense is still good, I am no longer able to handle long journeys and close combat."
Furthermore, the Chaos Abyss also needs to deduce the restrictions and calculate the ripening time of the Dao Fruit. My remaining in the army will be of greater use."
What he said was true.
The Chaos Abyss is filled with countless High Antiquity restrictions; with Lu Tianji present, many lives can be saved.
Zhang Jianchen nodded slightly, clearly not intending for Lu Tianji to go either.
His gaze shifted to the Law Enforcement Hall: "Elder Huangfu, you are in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, skilled in tracking and investigation, and your cultivation is at the Dao Union Perfection. Would you be willing to make a trip there?"
A woman dressed in a black robe stood up from the crowd.
