Zuo Dao felt as if he was suffocating. Is this the current standard of Cultivators? Is this the gaze of today's Cultivators? Can't he see that Yao and Huo's realms are higher than his? Is it just because his group consists of Loose Cultivators?
However, he quickly calmed down. There was still a group of Cultivators on this planet known as Loose Cultivators. They lacked good resources and systematic Cultivation Methods, looked down upon by those so-called righteous sects, and had to rely solely on themselves.
It seemed that his mindset had not yet reached maturity; he could use the next six months to reflect on himself.
"Left Grandmaster, let's go," Zuo Dao said, glancing at the eager Fire Rush beside him.
"Old Two, keep up."
"I knew it; I shouldn't have been the damn Old Two," Fire Rush grumbled in frustration.
Tang Long and his group were completely ignored by them. If it weren't for their desire to avoid trouble, Tang Long and his companions would have long ceased to exist on this planet.
There were many people near the city gate. Upon witnessing the scene, the Loose Cultivators showed expressions of indignation, while some Cultivators with apparent status watched with amusement.
Zuo Dao shook his head at these people and continued walking into the city.
Meanwhile, Tang Long stood there foolishly, not knowing what had happened, allowing Zuo Dao and his group to leave.
"What did you do to Senior Brother Tang?" one disciple noticed something was off and shouted loudly.
"Get lost." Fire Rush roared, causing that disciple to collapse to the ground, unconscious and frothing at the mouth.
"Someone's been killed! There's a murder at the entrance of Phoenix City..." The moment he spoke, Fire Rush shot him a glare, silencing him completely.
The surrounding people found nothing strange about this; it was clear to anyone with eyes that two of the three were Foundation Establishment stage while one was at Qi Refinement stage. Most importantly, those two higher Realm Cultivators seemed to be taking orders from that Qi Refinement Cultivator. If they were Loose Cultivators, they must be significant ones.
The world of Cultivation has always been one where "it doesn't concern me; I won't get involved." Without a certain incentive, no one would stick their neck out for others without reason.
Phoenix City is not very large, just about a hundred miles in range. For Zuo Dao, who is used to big cities, it offers a different experience. It has everything one would expect, but the scale and grandeur are lacking significantly.
In the Moling Star, a thousand-mile range belongs to a large city, around five hundred miles to Mid City, and those that are about a hundred miles are considered towns. Under Mount Hua Immortal Gate, there is a large city, several Mid Cities, and some towns. Zuo Dao often visits the town for leisure.
The streets are lined with various shops, with cultivators coming and going, each displaying different expressions.
They casually found an inn where Zuo Dao and his companions settled down. As soon as they reached their room, Fire Rush casually cast a soundproofing charm.
"Young Master, we've been watched since we entered the city."
"I know. We don't need to pay attention to those few people. We should focus on what we came here to do. We're not planning to stay long; let them keep watching."
Zuo Dao had also noticed that as long as there was no direct conflict, they would not be bothered. In a city like this, a Golden Core True Person is considered top-tier. The sudden appearance of two unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivators would naturally raise some caution. Zuo Dao was aware of this habit and did not take it to heart.
"Let's take a break later and go out for a stroll. I've been cooped up in the mountains for too long."
Yao Ming and Fire Rush scoffed at this; it seemed their master still had a youthful spirit. Zuo Dao paid no mind to their thoughts.
Although Phoenix City has all the essentials, the items available cannot compare in grade and quality to those in larger cities. However, sometimes one can still find some good things.
Walking down the street and looking at the shops on either side, Zuo Dao couldn't help but reflect on how difficult life must be for the cultivators at the bottom of society. Killing is prohibited in any city, but as long as no one dies, generally no one comes out to intervene.
He had seen more than once those living at the bottom fighting fiercely over a low-grade pill or artifact.
Zuo Dao's goal was the square in the city; it was a gathering place for cultivators and a hub for trading.
The square covers several miles of land; as long as one pays a certain amount of spirit stones to the city's administrators, they can set up stalls there. Even from afar, he could hear a cacophony of voices filling the air.
Yao Ming and Fire Rush instinctively frowned at the noise.
"Do you miss this sound? A bit unaccustomed?" Zuo Dao glanced at them.
"You've been standing in that position for too long, so long that you've forgotten some things from the past. Sometimes, the past is just as important as the future."
With that, Zuo Dao melted into the crowd.
The Second Ancestor exchanged a thoughtful glance and quickly followed suit, staying close behind.
Zuo Dao wandered among the various stalls, occasionally stopping to ask the vendors questions. The stall owners paid little attention to this cultivator, but upon seeing the Second Ancestor, they became enthusiastic. They answered almost every question with eagerness and an unexpectedly good attitude.
Zuo Dao couldn't help but sigh; indeed, face is something others give you.
After browsing for quite some time, Zuo Dao occasionally bought a few items that the Second Ancestor regarded as worthless junk. They couldn't understand why a disciple of a prestigious Immortal Sect, someone destined for greatness, would take an interest in such things. Zuo Dao didn't bother to explain and continued to leisurely do his own thing.
Just as Zuo Dao was about to leave, he suddenly felt a stir from the Wudao Order within his ring. He probed with his Divine Sense and discovered that the Wudao Order was emitting a faint glow from a hidden spot.
What was going on?
Zuo Dao was puzzled; when the old man had given it to him, he hadn't mentioned that the Wudao Order had other functions.
Meanwhile, far away at Zuo Wang Peak of the Immortal Sect, the Drunken Old Man suddenly opened his hazy eyes.
"It has finally begun. This is the first one; I hope Daozi won't miss it. It's not that I don't want to help you; it's just that everything relies on your own comprehension. Only then can you truly honor the token in your hand."
After muttering these words, he closed his eyes again, returning to his drunken state.
Zuo Dao quickly found a secluded spot and took out the Wudao Order. On the back of the token, where a seven-star pattern was engraved, one of the stars was emitting a faint glow.
Seeing this situation, the Second Ancestor was also perplexed.
"What’s going on? Why is this thing glowing?" Fire Rush asked.
Both of them were aware of the existence of this token and its importance, but Zuo Dao had never seen it emit light on its own.
"I don’t know either; it just started glowing all of a sudden. The old man didn’t mention anything like this to me," Zuo Dao replied, equally puzzled.
"Big brother, I think there’s something special about that token in his hand; it must be a treasure of some sort." Just as everyone was confused, an off-key voice interrupted.
The apparent leader hadn’t spoken yet.
"Second brother, don’t let them bother me. Take care of the others while you’re at it," Zuo Dao said without looking back, sealing their fate.
The group preparing to rob hadn’t reacted when a flash of red light appeared before them, leaving only a cloud of ash in its wake. A gust of wind swept through, leaving the ground spotless.
Others hiding in the shadows also met a grim fate. Fire Rush acted swiftly; regardless of their intentions, they all vanished from existence.
"Let’s go find a place to study this properly and see what’s going on," he said. Just as the three were about to leave, another voice rang out.
"You are the one who summoned me?"
