Zuo Dao was undergoing a baptism, something that even the Rules of the Path could not change. Once it was done, it was done; any attempt to alter it would be a denial of oneself, so he had no choice but to acknowledge it.
The baptism was in progress, with countless Divine Script Golden Locks and Celestial Talisman Chains surging from the void, swirling around Zuo Dao. A powerful energy surged into his body, quickly reaching the limits of what his physical form and meridians could contain.
"Damn you, old man," Zuo Dao cursed. "I knew you had no good intentions."
The energy was overwhelming, exceeding all limits.
The external Divine Script Golden Locks and Celestial Talisman Chains tightly sealed off the outflow of power, creating a situation where energy could only enter but not exit, turning the baptism into a mere formality.
While most survivors of calamities struggled with insufficient energy, Zuo Dao was troubled by having too much.
If he did not resolve the issue of excess energy, Zuo Dao would be in serious trouble.
He continued to compress and refine; the cells within his Divine Body constantly divided, absorbed, and accommodated more. Meanwhile, his Celestial Soul continuously channeled energy into his Dantian, opening up a Divine Sea.
Zuo Dao squeezed every ounce of potential from himself just to accommodate more energy. Unfortunately, it still wasn't enough; the external energy had already materialized, resembling a silver river cascading down from the heavens.
"Don't play me like this. If you want to play, I'll play along. Just wait," Zuo Dao declared fiercely. He wouldn’t let himself be overwhelmed by this energy after escaping a calamity.
Every part of his flesh, bones, and meridians shimmered with light as the Chaotic Primordial Energy continued to grow. Zuo Dao's strength soared rapidly, soon reaching the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage, and without any hindrance, he stepped into the Foundation Establishment Period. He did not wish to advance so quickly; however, given the current situation, if he did not advance, he would be unable to contain more power—and that would surely lead to his demise.
He surged forward.
Foundation Establishment First Layer;
Foundation Establishment Second Layer;
Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer;
Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.
Then he quickly broke through to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
The Divine Sea at his Dantian had been opened up and stretched out infinitely. Typically, a newly entered Cultivator in the Divine Sea realm would have a sea measuring about a hundred meters across; only those who were exceptionally talented could reach four or five hundred meters, while monsters might achieve a thousand-meter limit. But for Zuo Dao, his Divine Sea had truly become an ocean.
Foundation Establishment and Core Formation
Zuo Dao was no longer the novice he once was. During his time with Bie Xue Xian Ren, Antique had provided him with valuable insights. The quality of the elixir was crucial for his future breakthroughs.
Breaking through the Foundation Establishment Period typically involved a tribulation meant to temper the practitioner's body. However, Zuo Dao had undergone a transformation and had become a Divine Body.
The arrival of Divine Wrath opened up a whole new world for Zuo Dao. It turned out that immortals had not vanished from this world, and the gods were not unique to it. If he were in the Celestial Realm, forming an elixir would be as easy as child's play, simply due to the abundance of energy.
Now that the energy issue was resolved, it was time to create a World-Defying Golden Elixir.
Once again, he practiced the Sitting Forgetting Sutra, operating the Mind Method. His Divine Sea had already separated from his Dantian, and at this moment, Zuo Dao felt completely numb; the cellular division had pushed his pain threshold to its limits.
Five-Color Radiance surged into his Dantian, followed by Chaotic Primordial Energy, while Earth Energy cascaded in like a waterfall.
With such powerful support behind him, Zuo Dao easily succeeded in condensing the elixir. The rest was beyond his concern; his Dan Body instinctively absorbed energy for transformation.
Zuo Dao's gaze shifted to the Divine Script Golden Lock and Celestial Talisman Chains outside his body—these were truly remarkable treasures. They were crafted from Divine Gold Immortal Material that had been absorbed by the Rules of the Path from the outer realms.
Now they were merely used to prevent energy leakage; what a waste of resources.
Zuo Dao licked his lips, his eyes sparkling with excitement. What should he do?
At that moment, thoughts of golden elixirs and pain faded from his mind; all he could see were the Divine Script Golden Lock and Celestial Talisman Chains.
After much contemplation, he finally devised a plan. In this world, fortune favored the bold while caution led to starvation. Only those who dared to fight could win!
The method was simple; it was inspired by what he had witnessed during his previous Transcend Tribulation.
He would provoke the Celestial Chain with his Divine Body while using his Celestial Soul to disrupt the Divine Lock. Simultaneously, he would use his Divine Body to restrain the Divine Lock and seal the Celestial Chain with his Celestial Soul.
Thus began a tug-of-war.
Zuo Dao effectively embodied the scientific principle of "like attracts like, opposites repel."
As the Five-Color Divine Radiance of the Divine Body surged toward the Celestial Chain, the Black and White Qi of the Celestial Soul struck against the Divine Lock. In an instant, explosions erupted around him, resembling a shower of fireworks—brilliantly colorful, with sparks flying everywhere, creating a stunning spectacle.
Ideals may be stark, but reality is rich; Zuo Dao deeply resonated with this sentiment. The relentless barrage of explosions sent him reeling, as if he were caught in a wild dance.
The Divine Lock and Celestial Chain not only sealed energy but also suppressed power. All the shockwaves generated by the explosions were absorbed by Zuo Dao. Fresh wounds formed within him, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A chaotic entanglement arose among the Divine Body, Celestial Soul, Divine Lock, and Celestial Chain—a situation that felt impossible to untangle. They fought for dominance, drawing from one another in a tumultuous back-and-forth, creating utter disorder.
In the void, thunderous roars echoed. Zuo Dao found himself in dire straits; his Golden Core was on the verge of shattering, and his Divine Sea nearly ran dry. Fortunately, a continuous influx of Earth Energy replenished him; otherwise, Zuo Dao would have been finished.
Suddenly, Zuo Dao realized that perhaps this was for the best. The massive energy influx was being rapidly consumed, alleviating the overwhelming sensation he had felt earlier. With one side improving and the other deteriorating, Zuo Dao was at a loss for what to do.
He decided to go with the flow. Resolutely, he thought to himself: let them be chaotic; I will focus on my own path and cease resisting. To distract himself, he needed something to occupy his mind.
Zuo Dao began to sift through his memories to see what he could do. To his surprise, a wealth of knowledge surfaced before him. At Zuo Wang Peak, he had perused countless books; after obtaining Wangfeng Platform, he had received a few notes and jade slips from Bie Xue Xian Ren. Many things had only been noted down without deep exploration at the time, but now they offered profound insights upon revisiting.
In particular, a handwritten note left by Bie Xue True Immortal delighted Zuo Dao immensely; one passage lingered in his mind.
"I was born with the Way but did not know its essence. I exist but do not understand its meaning. After decades of wandering aimlessly, one day I gained enlightenment and realized that from where I stand begins my journey; thus I sit and forget myself."
What a profound notion of sitting and forgetting oneself! Inspired by this thought, he involuntarily stood up straight. As he moved, an overwhelming wave of pain surged through him like a tide.
Bearing the immense agony, Master Zuo Dao smiled as he faced the Divine Script Golden Lock and Celestial Talisman Chains hovering outside his body. Since you wish to seal me away, then let it be so—nothing more than sealing.
Zuo Dao completely released his body and mind as he strode forward boldly. The moment he touched the Divine Script Golden Lock and Celestial Talisman Chains, both entities flowed into him like water.
At that moment, Zuo Dao's Golden Core had reached perfection; it felt as if countless immortals danced around him. His Divine Sea had matured fully, with flying fish and mighty whales frolicking within.
The Divine Lock restrained the Celestial Soul while the Celestial Chain sealed the Divine Body.
Countless Celestial Chains densely arrayed above the Divine Sea instantly transformed it into a stagnant pool.
A massive shadow of a lock appeared above his Golden Core, suppressing it into silence and darkness in an instant.
In an instant, Zuo Dao was forcibly knocked down from the Perfected Golden Core stage to the Qi Refinement Stage, stopping only at the first layer.
Truly, the world of mortals is ever-changing.
At this moment, the torrent of energy had already ceased when the Divine Lock restrained the Celestial Soul and the Celestial Chain sealed the Divine Body. While locking the soul and sealing the body, it also prevented any influx of energy.
This was a complete suppression and sealing: the energy within was suppressed, and the energy outside was sealed.
Yet Zuo Dao paid no mind to it; at this moment, he felt unprecedentedly good.
A tranquility that reached far beyond.
To lose is to possess.
"Let everything scatter away!"
Zuo Dao whispered, a satisfied smile gracing his face.
As soon as his words fell, he vanished into the void.
