The moment the voice echoed, the Celestial Domain Will rapidly disintegrated. At the same time, the various chaotic Essences within Zuo Dao's body were being manipulated by an inexplicable great power, beginning to merge.
However, Zuo Dao did not show any surprise. To him, resolving the issues within his body was merely a matter of time. Although the sudden appearance of this voice felt familiar, there was an unavoidable sense of unease in his heart.
It was as if he were a landlord, with every tenant arriving uninvited. Not only did they fail to pay rent, but they also occasionally caused him trouble. Now, a more prominent figure had arrived to drive these tenants away, completely disregarding him as the landlord.
The disputes within the Sea of Consciousness had calmed down, and a strand of True Self Awareness contained within the Chaos Energy was continuously growing stronger. Countless consciousness avatars, previously scattered, surged back like birds returning to their nests, merging into that strand of True Self Awareness.
Zuo Dao's true will expanded like a balloon, faintly harboring a trace of celestial quality within.
This was Zuo Dao's greatest transformation since he began his cultivation journey; this change was the most powerful ever in terms of both quality and quantity.
Previously inexperienced in controlling his own body, he now felt as if he had truly found himself again.
He quickly immersed himself in this transformation.
The once blurry Sea of Consciousness gradually became clear; it was a deep blue, transparent enough to see the bottom. A full moon emerged at the bottom of the Sea of Consciousness.
This inevitably reminded him of the line "The bright moon rises over the sea," but for him, it was more like "The bright moon appears beneath the sea." While others had their moon high above, his was hidden deep below.
A sense of enlightenment arose in his mind.
That was not an ordinary "bright moon," but a treasure. Although no one told him this, he clearly understood that it was indeed a treasure—one without rank.
It was named: Three Lives Mirror.
The origin of the Three Lives Mirror is now a mystery. All Zuo Dao knows is that the moment it appeared in this world, it was deeply embedded in his Sea of Consciousness.
The events that occurred previously on Moling or Moling Star were caused by the occasional tremors of the Three Lives Mirror.
The sudden transition from Moling Star to Moling was entirely due to the Three Lives Mirror. Years ago, when he was punished at Reflection Cliff, the Mirror absorbed some energy from within, briefly reviving and pulling Zuo Dao into Moling.
What exactly is the Three Lives Mirror? Why does it exist within him? This has become the greatest enigma in Zuo Dao's heart. With the disappearance of Divine Lock and Celestial Chain, and the evolution of Supreme True Martial Body, the Vitality within him also underwent changes.
All of this is due to the awakening of the Three Lives Mirror.
"With the mirror in hand, I am the sole immortal."
Such a powerful declaration. The moment the Three Lives Mirror emerged, it triggered turmoil in the Great Celestial Domain. However, at that time, Zuo Dao's consciousness lay buried deep at the bottom of the Celestial Pool, completely unaware.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, Zuo Dao did not hesitate and flew towards the Three Lives Mirror.
The surface of the mirror resembled water, rippling with waves. Yet looking deeper revealed a profound expanse akin to a starry sky, with mesmerizing colors.
"A time-space tunnel?" Zuo Dao blurted out. It resembled what he had seen in some information during his previous life about time-space tunnels.
Just as he was astonished, that voice echoed again.
"Energy absorption detected."
"Three Lives Mirror activated."
"Host Program activated."
"Scanning Host Body."
"Gene Compatibility one hundred percent."
"Mirror Master returning."
"Beginning fusion."
...
A series of voices echoed, causing his brain to freeze.
Is this still the cultivation world? Are these still magical artifacts? Questions surged in his mind. However, before he could ponder further, a tremendous energy suddenly appeared in the Sea of Consciousness, plunging him back into unconsciousness. This time, even True Self Awareness fell silent.
Darkness descended.
At this moment, Zhao Wang and Chang He were watching the strange occurrences outside the city with serious expressions.
Golden Flower, blood rain, the lament of Cultivators.
A series of changes had left their nerves taut.
If it weren't for the overwhelming Dao Intent Will enveloping Liu Yue City at that moment, they would have wanted to fly out and see what was happening.
"Something is amiss; it seems a major event is about to unfold in the Celestial Realm," Zhao Wang said, gazing at the Blood Rain of Golden Flowers in the sky.
"Indeed. Since the conflict began between your Dark Realm and the other side, chaos has already taken root in the Celestial Realm," Chang He replied, his voice filled with concern.
Despite being a solitary Immortal King, he found it difficult to remain unscathed in such tumultuous times.
"I’ve thought about it afterward. The incident involving Zhao Yanwu happened so suddenly, yet it felt so natural, as if it were destined," Zhao Wang said, casting a fond glance at Zhao Yanwu. "Few know her true identity in this domain. Although she can be a bit mischievous, it's unlikely she would attract any deadly troubles."
"I thought you were unaware of that. If it weren't for the Dark Realm's overly generous actions back then, and my eagerness to refine the Second Arrow, I wouldn't have intervened," Chang He chuckled. "To enlist an Immortal King for such a weak target—would you believe there wasn’t something amiss?"
"Chang Xianwang, you did intervene as well," Zhao Wang replied nonchalantly. By the time they reached their realm, very few things could truly stir them.
"You should be grateful that I did intervene," Chang He finally laughed heartily. "If it had been any other Immortal King, the outcome would have been entirely different; we wouldn't be able to share such lighthearted banter now."
"Very true." Zhao Wang nodded in agreement.
"Is it because of that person involved?" Zhao Wang's tone shifted as he posed the question again.
"Not entirely," Chang He said, directing his gaze toward the Celestial Pool as if trying to see through it. "Had I not encountered him, I might still be Immortal King Chang He; now I am merely..."
At this point, Chang He fell silent. Zhao Wang, upon hearing this, chose not to press further. Some things are better left unknown than known. Both he and Chang He had cultivated for tens of thousands of years; if they still couldn't discern certain matters, then their attainment of the Immortal King realm would have been in vain.
"Grandpa, what are you two talking about? I didn't understand a word," Zhao Yanwu stood beside them, and their conversation was not hidden from her.
"When your Daozi comes out, you can just ask him," Zhao Wang said, ruffling her hair.
More shaken than the two Immortal Kings were Yan Sui Fa, Xian Lan, Chen Yang, and others. The earth had changed, yet Liu Yue City remained unaffected; it was impossible for these elites not to have some thoughts about it.
Adding to this were the conversations between the Dual Kings. Although they were somewhat vague, it did not hinder their imagination. Zhao Yanwu noticed the changes around her but was entirely focused on Zuo Dao at that moment. If it weren't for the constant mentions of Zuo Dao by the two Immortal Kings during their dialogue, she wouldn't have paid any attention at all.
"What exactly is going on with you and the Dark Realm? Is it really over?" Chang He also began to shift the topic.
"Isn't it better that it's gone? We've been bound for too long," Zhao Wang replied nonchalantly, as if the dissolution of these two great powers was merely a trivial matter to him.
"Zhao Wang possesses such a mindset; I admire that," Chang He said sincerely. Only those at the highest levels understood the power of these two factions and the benefits they could bring.
There were many Immortal Kings like him who walked alone. Although they had plenty of resources, they still paled in comparison to those Immortal Kings backed by massive forces. If it weren't for being a solitary figure and the enormous cost required to kill an Immortal King, navigating this realm would be exceedingly difficult for any lone Immortal King.
"So what are your plans moving forward?" Chang He couldn't help but ponder.
Zhao Wang glanced at Chang He with a half-smile, his gaze laden with meaning.
"I wonder what plans Chang He has."
Chang He knew that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party, but he didn't mind and casually replied.
"Now that this child has appeared, of course, I will follow him."
"What?" Zhao Wang, although aware that Chang He might have some connection with Zuo Dao, was surprised by Chang He's response.
In the Celestial Realm, the Immortal King was revered wherever he went, regardless of the faction. Yet, from Chang He's words, it seemed he intended to be a mere follower.
If he were to be Zuo Dao's protector, Zhao Wang could still believe that, but a follower?
He couldn't help but cast his gaze toward the Celestial Pool again.
"Great! Grandpa Chang is going to follow Daozi too; that's wonderful!" Zhao Yanwu exclaimed with delight upon hearing this. Who was Chang He? He was a renowned Immortal King from the Eastern Victory Continent. With him by Daozi's side, Daozi would encounter far fewer troubles. The title of Immortal King wasn't just a name; it represented strength.
Chen Yang smiled, Xian Lan remained silent, and Yan Sui Fa was at a loss for words.
Regardless of everyone's thoughts at that moment, Zuo Dao had already awakened from his unconscious state.
The Three Lives Mirror had transformed into a tattoo and merged into his right palm.
Zuo Dao looked at his hands. His left hand held the Wangfeng Platform, while his right hand bore the Three Lives Mirror. Both were not simple items, yet he still had no clue about their significance.
On the Wangfeng Platform stood Zuo Wang Peak, and within the Three Lives Mirror lay the essence of three lives.
By this time, the baptism of the Celestial Pool had long since concluded, and the countless years of accumulated Celestial Essence within the pool had been completely absorbed by him.
However, he was well aware that ninety-nine percent of the Celestial Essence had been devoured by the two treasures in his hands, and he had only attracted a small portion for himself.
Yet even that small portion of Celestial Essence had greatly benefited him.
Since leaving the Mount Hua Immortal Gate, his Realm had never stabilized. Now, he was uncertain about what Realm he had reached. If judged by the standards of the Celestial Realm, he wouldn't even qualify as a celestial soldier.
This was primarily because he had never possessed such a vast amount of Celestial Essence within him; his power had shifted more due to the presence of the Divine Lock and Celestial Chain.
Now that the baptism was complete, his body was filled with an enormous quantity of Celestial Essence, and it was already refined—entirely belonging to him.
Zuo Dao knew that his Realm had returned to the Qi Refinement Stage of the Moling Star era, but no Qi Refinement Stage since Primordial times had ever been as powerful or as monstrous as he was now.
To possess Celestial Essence at the Qi Refinement stage was something no one would believe. Yet Zuo Dao truly felt his Realm, and he sensed that tribulations would descend upon him once again. Only after enduring this trial would he be able to accurately gauge his strength.
Zuo Wang Peak and San Sheng had deeply integrated into his being.
He understood that a brand new journey was about to begin.
