Ten years after the Miao Cheng Rebellion, the situation in the Lower Domain entered a very peculiar phase. Many previously obscure forces suddenly rose to prominence, making their voices heard among the twenty domains.
The most notable among them was an organization called "Zhu," which, upon its emergence, swiftly established dominance over the entire region with iron-fisted tactics. At the same time, another force known as "Heterodox" appeared within the Lower Domain. Although small in number, each member was an elite among elites.
From the moment they appeared, they formed a fierce rivalry with Zhu. However, Heterodox was not as aggressive or dominant; their presence seemed more aimed at countering Zhu.
Additionally, another significant event had far-reaching implications for the Lower Domain. The passage connecting the Lower Domain to the Central Domain was completely sealed off, isolating the entire Lower Domain.
Yet, none of this had any impact on Miao Cheng's Solemn Temple.
At this time, the Blood Queen stood independently before the Supreme Hall, as if guarding something. Each glance toward the hall was filled with complex emotions—reverence, fervor, and even a hint of admiration. The richness of her feelings made it hard to believe she belonged to the demon race.
In that battle, Zuo Dao ultimately took action.
Lu Wei could only hold out for a short while against the Blood Queen's onslaught before facing a crisis. Zuo Dao had been observing the situation and, seeing this turn of events, decided to intervene directly with his formidable strength, replacing Lu Wei in the Battle Formation.
Zuo Dao's appearance startled the Blood Queen; his ability to recover to peak condition in such a short time forced her to acknowledge the power of the demon race.
Surging Blood Flame coalesced in the Blood Queen's hands, radiating intense heat and a terrifying aura that showcased her strength. Yet she regarded Zuo Dao with an expression of grave concern.
"You are..."
"Zuo Dao. Submit or die!"
Not wanting to engage in prolonged conflict, he spoke with a single sentence that exuded power and confidence.
The Blood Queen did not expect her opponent to be so direct. Although he was currently only at the Golden Immortal level of the Celestial Realm, even the sword immortals of the Golden Immortal Realm had to suffer under her hand, which proved her strength.
Yet, at that moment, Zuo Dao seemed completely unfazed.
However, once he made his move, the Blood Queen immediately regretted it.
With just a single punch, he dispersed the Blood Flame surrounding her and even forced her Blood Oath out with sheer power.
The supreme Essence coalesced into a golden fist that came crashing down upon her, making the very air seem to shatter under its weight.
As the Essence stirred the winds and clouds, Zuo Dao appeared like a king in the sky. The Blood Queen widened her eyes, trying to see him clearly, but the boundless golden light rendered everything behind Zuo Dao into a dazzling brilliance. Her vision was filled with a golden ocean, leaving no room for anything else.
Even though the Blood Queen was a seasoned warrior, she found herself momentarily overwhelmed by Zuo Dao's imposing aura.
Zuo Dao did not seize the opportunity to attack; instead, he stood calmly in place, waiting for the Blood Queen's response.
In his eyes, the Blood Queen was not yet a worthy opponent. Recent events hinted at a hidden purpose behind them all—one that seemed designed to draw him into their midst.
The appearance of Kun Ru Tao was followed by Miao Chengcheng, then the Solemn Temple, and next came the Sword Cultivator Lu Wei. Soon after, the Blood Queen stood before him once more.
It felt as if an unseen hand was guiding him to establish Heterodox in this realm. Similarly, in Miao Cheng, this was merely his intuition; thus, he had not struck at the Blood Queen right away. Otherwise, with his current Realm, ten Blood Queens would not be enough for him to toy with.
"Who exactly are you?"
The vigilance in the Blood Queen's eyes grew stronger. She realized he was not on her level and there was no need for further doubt; Zuo Dao clearly had not exerted himself fully. She could still distinguish between trying hard and going all out.
At that moment, she couldn't help but think of the only imprint that person had left in her mind.
Waiting for his arrival was your freedom.
Back then, she didn't understand the meaning of those words, but now she did. She felt the same aura from this Cultivator before her as she had from that man long ago.
They were of the same kind.
The Blood Queen's words went unanswered by Zuo Dao, who stood there quietly, his expression calm and still as a mountain peak.
Who rules the vast earth?
The aura that Zuo Dao exuded made the Blood Queen, Lu Wei, and all the other Cultivators and Creators witnessing this scene feel that the true master of this land was the man standing before them.
Lu Wei instinctively tightened his grip on his sword. He was a Sword Immortal, a pure Sword Cultivator, yet the sword in his hand had already submitted.
What kind of man was this?
At that moment, Zuo Dao's profound gaze appeared to the Blood Queen like an abyss, making her feel as if she had returned to her own birth.
The blood-soaked earth was lifeless; all that existed was plunder and endless slaughter. The growth of every Blood Demon was steeped in bloodshed.
It was the appearance of that man that allowed her to see her future, yet it was also because of him that her future was buried. Only at this moment did she realize that everything he had done seemed to be for today.
Suppressing the turmoil within her heart, the Blood Queen retracted her Blood Oath.
"Submit! Why do you men always wish to do such things? Have you ever considered the feelings of others?"
Although she did not sense the killing intent radiating from Zuo Dao, the Blood Queen's emotions were beginning to unravel. It was a complete release of anger.
"Why should I care about the feelings of others?" Zuo Dao's voice was cold, yet tinged with a hint of emotion.
Hearing that lifeless voice, the Blood Queen suddenly felt a chill in her heart and quickly regained her composure.
"Yes, why should I care about the feelings of others?" She let out a self-mocking laugh.
"Blood Queen pays her respects to the Young Master."
Without any warning, in front of everyone, the Blood Queen knelt down and performed a full prostration before Zuo Dao.
This was submission—without reason, and without the need for personal feelings.
"Let's go." Zuo Dao glanced at her indifferently before turning to leave.
The Blood Queen slowly stood up, watching the figure grow distant, feeling a sense of daze wash over her.
It really felt like...
A Cataclysm had just passed, yet Zuo Dao's name was rapidly spreading throughout Miao Cheng.
Following Zuo Dao was not just the silhouette of the Blood Queen, but also a straight-backed figure that stood like a sword.
In the span of ten years, many events could unfold. While other regions were in turmoil, Miao Cheng remained surprisingly calm.
Ambitious individuals and those seeking a quieter life alike were all focused on one direction: the Solemn Temple. Everyone knew that a formidable figure had emerged there, single-handedly subduing an Ancient Blood Demon. Not only that, but even the renowned Sword Cultivator Lü Wei from Miao Cheng had joined his ranks.
Although the number of Golden Immortals at Solemn Temple was few, each one was a fierce warrior. After a thorough cleansing by several elders, Solemn Temple had undeniably established itself as the true Sole Ruler of Miao Cheng.
News from other domains continuously flowed into Miao Cheng. Upon hearing that Heterodox had declared war on the Zhu Organization, Zuo Dao pondered for a moment before announcing his retreat into seclusion. However, before doing so, he took several actions.
First, after discussions with Mu Bai, he began to consolidate Solemn Temple. The greatest resource in Miao Cheng was its Creator, yet this also led to a lack of combat power. For Zuo Dao to achieve anything significant, he needed a strong team, and Solemn Temple was his choice.
Second, he summoned several key leaders from Solemn Temple and tailored new Cultivation Methods for them to enhance their combat abilities.
The final action was to drag Mu Yuan into seclusion as well.
There were no objections to Zuo Dao's arrangements; no one was foolish enough to push away benefits at this time.
However, Zuo Dao made it clear to them that Solemn Temple was merely one of his forces. To reap rewards, one must contribute; this was a truth more profound than the Great Dao itself.
Although Mu Bai held a high position as the leader of the faction, he felt no resistance to this. His son was already a disciple of Zuo Dao, and he could see that Zuo Dao's ambitions extended beyond this moment; ultimately, Solemn Temple would be entrusted to his son.
Currently, Solemn Temple exhibited a harmonious and upward momentum. The more benefits they received, the more they recognized Zuo Dao's strength.
The Blood Queen had been cultivating outside the Supreme Hall. Despite this, with the new Cultivation Method granted by Zuo Dao, she had transformed significantly from her previous self.
Her once blood-red hair had turned jet black, and there were many more benefits she understood only in her heart. Once merely a demon, she was now beginning to transition toward humanity. Gazing at the grand hall, she wondered what kind of person truly resided within.
At this moment, Zuo Dao, situated within the Supreme Hall, had reached a critical juncture.
For ten years, he had been cultivating within the Nine Monoliths. His entire essence had transformed, entering the Essence Transformation Stage, marking the true metamorphosis of his existence.
Ten years may not seem long; for an ordinary Cultivator, it could only be considered a single retreat. However, Zuo Dao was different. During these ten years, he had completely integrated everything he knew into a brand new method of cultivation.
Of course, this method was entirely new to him. If the Three Pure Ones were to witness the state of his body at this moment, they would undoubtedly be astonished.
Nourishing Master, Carefree Journey, and World of Mortals were the three supreme techniques of their lineage. Even their master could not cultivate all three simultaneously.
These three methods originated from the first scripture of the Celestial Realm—Unity Technique. However, their lineage had always been sparse in numbers. The power of their Cultivation Method created certain difficulties in inheritance; otherwise, they would not have remained obscure within the Celestial Realm. Even the fact that the Three Great Domain Lords from the Outer Domain were disciples of this lineage was unknown to anyone.
If one were to describe Zuo Dao's current state, it would be akin to three rivers flowing ceaselessly within him, simultaneously intertwining and branching out. These three rivers merged together to form a broader river, creating a cyclical exchange within his body.
They formed a trinity, manifesting as a purple torrent that surged within Zuo Dao with unstoppable momentum, breaking through one acupoint after another until it finally came to rest at the Baihui Acupoint.
Zuo Dao sat cross-legged, surrounded by a mist of purple energy, entering a profoundly mysterious Realm.
