The emergence of Zuo Dao brought both joy and concern.
The change in his temperament made Zuo Dao seem like a completely different person. However, the one truly concerned about this transformation was Tai Shu Yun. Tai Shu Yi and Tai Shu Reincarnation, on the other hand, recognized the underlying complexities.
The growth of any Cultivator is inseparable from transformation, especially for those of the Monster clan. It was only natural that Zuo Dao was included among them.
Subsequently, Zuo Dao sought out Tai Shu Yi and other seasoned Cultivators to understand that any Cultivator's transformation involves both internal and external changes.
The internal aspect refers to one's true heart, or Mind, and soul.
The external aspect pertains to the physical body, including muscles, bones, skin, and membranes.
However, not all transformations are beneficial. Some Cultivators find themselves on a path entirely unsuitable for them due to their transformations, ultimately severing their own paths of cultivation.
Tai Shu Yi suspected that Zuo Dao's current condition might be due to a low Compatibility between his divine soul and physical body. If it weren't for Tai Shu Yi personally sensing the changes within Zuo Dao, he might have believed that Zuo Dao was someone who had undergone a soul-seizing rebirth.
Soul-seizing rebirth is an absolute taboo for Cultivators.
At the same time, the inexplicable power interwoven within Zuo Dao left Tai Shu Yi deeply unsettled. He never imagined that such immense power could reside within a single person. Comparing it to his own strength, he realized that if this power were to erupt from Zuo Dao's body, the entire Earth Altar Star Domain could be reduced to ashes.
He wiped away a cold sweat and couldn't help but admire Tai Shu Yun's earlier actions even more.
After hearing this, Zuo Dao understood there was no better solution and inwardly cursed certain individuals profusely.
However, this time he sought out Tai Shu Yi not for his own matters but for a transaction.
When Zuo Dao proposed this deal, Tai Shu Yi was taken aback.
The Sword Spirit Pill, Life Essence Herb, Supreme Spirit Sword, and the Immortal Sword—if Spirit Sword Mountain can provide the materials and the price, Zuo Dao is willing to assist.
At the same time, Zuo Dao also requested that Spirit Sword Mountain promote him. As long as they could meet the price and provide the materials, he would help others with Artifact Alchemy.
Tai Shu Yi hesitated, carefully considering his words.
"Does Young Master Zuo need a large amount of resources? If Spirit Sword Mountain has it, feel free to ask."
Zuo Dao understood Tai Shu Yi's concerns. If it were just for Spirit Sword Mountain to specialize in Artifact Alchemy, he wouldn't have minded in the past. However, now that he was building a force, the resources needed were vast, and Spirit Sword Mountain leaned more towards Sword Cultivators, which wasn't entirely suitable for Zuo Dao's future plans.
"I need a lot of resources—more than enough to overwhelm Spirit Sword Mountain. Can you provide them?"
Tai Shu Yi shivered at Zuo Dao's words. What was he planning? Did he really need so many resources? After calming himself down, he forced a smile.
"Spirit Sword Mountain cannot provide that much. However, as you wish, we will spread the word for you throughout the entire Star Domain."
"Rest assured, only Spirit Sword Mountain has the best things," Zuo Dao replied. He wasn't one to be ungrateful, especially since he held the title of Elder Disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain. If he wanted help from others, he certainly had to offer sufficient benefits.
"Additionally, there’s one more thing I need from you, Sword Master. Please find Gai Jiuyou for me."
Zuo Dao's request made Tai Shu Yi feel quite pleased, but this last sentence left him utterly confused.
Bring Gai Jiuyou here?
"There are some matters that are not suitable for you at Spirit Sword Mountain, but there are people specifically meant for such things," Zuo Dao implied without stating it outright. Tai Shu Yi understood the meaning behind Zuo Dao's words.
What exactly is this master trying to accomplish? Tai Shu Yi, as a Sword Master of Spirit Sword Mountain, certainly has a keen insight. Although it was just a few words, he could sense the immense undertakings hidden within.
"Sword Master, as a disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain, I am grateful to you. However, on a personal level, there are some matters I do not wish for you to be involved in. This is not only for your own good but also for everyone's benefit."
Zuo Dao's words further solidified Tai Shu Yi's suspicions. As a powerful figure, he naturally had a refined grasp of certain boundaries and chose not to inquire further.
Spirit Sword Mountain acted swiftly. Tai Shu Yi quickly issued multiple commands, but the primary focus was not on publicity; instead, it was to aggressively acquire various materials for artifacts and alchemy. As the leader of a faction, the foremost priority was to safeguard the interests of his own group. Zuo Dao had no objections; as long as Spirit Sword Mountain acted according to its own plans, how they went about it was their prerogative.
The actions of Spirit Sword Mountain soon attracted the attention of various factions. Some groups, seeing what Spirit Sword Mountain was doing, also joined the procurement frenzy. The involvement of these factions caused prices in the Earth Altar Star Domain to soar. By the time some factions realized what was happening, they found themselves unable to engage in large-scale transactions because prices had exceeded their estimates, and some materials had even vanished from the market.
The entire Earth Altar Star Domain was not a disorganized mess but rather an organized and centrally managed domain. For ordinary matters, this organization would not interfere; however, when it came to the overall interests of the Star Domain, they would step in.
The organization was called the Co-Governance Council. Within the Earth Altar Star Domain, any member of this organization could act with impunity—not only due to its vast power but also because of the strength of its members.
A powerful organization must have a rigorous structure.
The Co-Governance Council is primarily led by the Elder Council, with nine districts managed by Stewards and overseers. There are also Inspectors and Enforcers.
In essence, the Co-Governance Council is the overlord of the Earth Altar Star Domain; however, they rarely appear before the public eye. Each member focuses on utilizing the council's vast resources for their cultivation except for necessary official duties.
From their perspective, actions like those of Spirit Sword Mountain are merely a ruckus. However, due to the scale of Spirit Sword Mountain's recent activities encroaching upon certain interests within the Co-Governance Council, someone from the Elder Council decided to intervene.
This time, the Elder Council dispatched Feng Miaomiao—a notable figure within the Co-Governance Council. However, she was not particularly favored by the Elder Council due to her strong sense of justice that often led to chaotic outcomes in their affairs. Yet because of her background, the Elder Council had no choice but to step in and clean up after her each time.
Feng Miaomiao was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with within the Co-Governance Council. Her nickname was "Unruly."
Feng Miaomiao had no strong objections regarding this attendance. Growing up in the Co-Governance Council, she had witnessed too many dark and shameless things. The reason she was sent to stir up trouble with Spirit Sword Mountain was entirely due to some unclear conflicts between her master and Spirit Sword Mountain.
Feng Miaomiao was aware of Spirit Sword Mountain's reputation. If it weren't for the fact that they had harmed the interests of certain people in the council, no one would typically seek trouble with them.
As she gazed at Spirit Sword Mountain before her, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Sigh, I’m just a person with a hard fate. My master really shouldn’t have agreed to those people's proposal. Whatever, it doesn’t matter anymore. Yun, I'm here!"
After muttering a bunch of incomprehensible words, she propelled herself forward in a flash of light towards Spirit Sword Mountain.
If someone were to witness this scene, they would surely be moved to tears; indeed, she was a reckless individual, daring to charge straight into another's mountain gate.
Before Feng Miaomiao even reached Spirit Sword Mountain, her voice had already echoed within.
"Yun, Sister Feng Meow Meow has come to see you."
Hearing this voice, Tai Shu Yun, still lost in sorrow, couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"Why did they send this reckless person?"
