On Ice Shimmer Star, the Dragon Family was undoubtedly a colossal presence. The movements of the Yisan House finally attracted the attention of the Dragon Family. Shadows tore through space and appeared above the guesthouse.
Among them, the most striking was a young Cultivator in his twenties. Although he looked young, those familiar with the Dragon Clan realized that even the Elders and the family head of the Dragon Family held this person in high regard.
Could this be the legendary first expert of the Dragon Clan, also known as the foremost Cultivator on Ice Shimmer Star, the Void Great Perfection Dragon Family Ancient Ancestor—Dragon Peak?
However, before they could confirm, the Dragon Clan had already begun to clear the area.
Dozens of Virtual Realm Cultivators' Spiritual Awareness intertwined in the air, releasing terrifying auras.
"Ancestor Long has issued an order. The Dragon Clan is conducting business; unrelated individuals are to retreat immediately. Should there be any negligence, we will come to apologize afterward," an Elder from the Long Family announced, his voice echoing across the ground.
Among them was a Void Realm Cultivator.
Zuo Dao possessed a High-Quality Spirit Stone, which was no longer a secret. Unfortunately, ever since the auction ended, he had lingered within the Dragon Auction House without stepping out, causing those who had their eyes on him great distress. Due to the might of the Dragon Clan, no one dared to force their way in, but many had stationed themselves nearby.
Despite the strength of the Dragon Clan, the allure of the High-Quality Spirit Stone was simply too strong. Although warned, people merely distanced themselves without dispersing entirely. Seeing this situation, the Dragon Clan found it difficult to take action.
There were simply too many people present, covering over eighty percent of the forces on Ice Shimmer Star. While there were no Virtual Realm Cultivators among them, their numbers were not significantly weaker than those of the Long Family.
As long as they did not intrude into the auction estate, the Dragon Family could only let them be.
The commotion outside did not escape Zuo Dao's notice; however, he had lost interest in it at that moment. When Tai Shu Yun's blood dripped onto the Measuring Tool, an inexplicable connection formed between her and it.
Perhaps due to the presence of the Forbidden Blood Lotus, the Measuring Tool emitted a pleasant sensation. This was not produced by a Spirit Tool but rather by the tool itself. It wasn't that the Measuring Tool had developed intelligence; it was an instinctual response.
The process of recognizing a master went smoothly; however, what proved challenging was their integration—a mutual feeding process where each contained elements of the other.
A stream of light surged into Tai Shu Yun's Sea of Consciousness, bathing her in the Lotus Fire. The sight of the deadly Lotus Fire, which could bring instant death, existing within Tai Shu Yun's Sea of Consciousness was something no one could have anticipated.
The Forbidden Blood Lotus Fire offered immense benefits to Spirit Tools, and the initial amount was quickly consumed by the powerful energy of the Lotus Fire.
This wasn't true consumption; rather, the Lotus Fire automatically activated its spirit-nourishing function, beginning to transform and evolve the essence. This evolution was not something that could be achieved in just a moment, but with the full cooperation of the essence, it was progressing towards perfection.
The first step was to change its form. To avoid being abandoned by Tai Shu Yun, the essence's first action was to alter its appearance. Although this would consume some of its energy, it was a necessary sacrifice for long-term plans.
While striving for this transformation, once the Measuring Tool established a connection with Tai Shu Yun, a robust and pure power flowed through that connection into Tai Shu Yun's body.
Tai Shu Yun's jade-like face flushed red, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zuo Dao quickly pressed a palm against her forehead.
The blood was drawn from Tai Shu Yun's brow, as Zuo Dao had instructed her. The connection between the Measuring Tool and her was also located at that point on her forehead.
Zuo Dao's palm rested there, not blocking the Measuring Tool's feedback to Tai Shu Yun but instead optimizing the ancient celestial energy that had been hidden for countless years.
At that moment, there was still spiritual energy within Tai Shu Yun's body. The influx of celestial energy rushed in like a mighty river, instantly obliterating all traces of spiritual energy within her, nearly causing her meridians to rupture completely.
Zuo Dao acted just in time; it was fortunate. If he had acted too early and failed to cleanse her spiritual energy completely, or too late when her meridians would have turned to nothingness, the outcome could have been dire.
Although Zuo Dao did not wish for Tai Shu Yun to suffer too much pain, certain necessary experiences were essential for her to better integrate with the celestial energy.
In moments of danger, the Lotus Fire would automatically protect its master. However, since the Measuring Tool had already established a connection with Tai Shu Yun, they were now inseparable. The young Lotus Fire could not discern this fact and, combined with the presence of a Spirit Tool overseeing everything, it was naturally forgotten.
A stream of pure celestial energy flowed through Zuo Dao's body and into Tai Shu Yun, no longer the domineering force it once was. It felt as if she were bathing in a hot spring, a soothing comfort enveloping her entire being.
The celestial energy flowed like a river, gently brushing against her meridians, continuously smoothing out the scars within her body, nurturing her silently. At every moment, Tai Shu Yun was undergoing transformation.
First, her Sea of Consciousness began to experience a profound change. If her Sea of Consciousness had previously resembled a tranquil lake, it now resembled an expansive ocean, with countless sparks dancing upon its surface.
The expansion of the Sea of Consciousness signified an accelerated growth rate for the Lotus Fire, and this growth brought immense benefits to Tai Shu Yun.
If someone were to closely observe her at that moment, they would notice a thin stream of red energy swirling amidst the pure white celestial energy, each cycle carrying away a significant amount of impurities from her body.
What is celestial energy?
Every practitioner must take the first step of Qi Training; without Qi, there can be no cultivation. Even if one practices physical cultivation, one must still refine that breath. That breath is celestial energy, though it is often muddied in the mortal realm, unlike the primordial purity found at the beginning.
Gradually, that breath transforms; however, only by refining it can one be called a Cultivator.
At this moment, Tai Shu Yun was embarking on that initial step—Qi Training.
Yet this Qi Training had been infinitely simplified.
In the beginning, between the earth and the stars, there was an abundance of celestial energy, but it was chaotic. Unlike now, where after billions of years of sedimentation and tens of thousands of years of nurturing by immortals, this celestial energy had become the truest and purest form.
With each cycle, Tai Shu Yun felt her body grow lighter, though she could not tell how much time had passed. She even forgot her own existence.
A vast amount of impurities were expelled from her body and then incinerated clean by the Lotus Fire. At that moment, Tai Shu Yun felt like a rough gem being continuously forged, undergoing tremendous changes with every moment, advancing toward a higher level with each passing second.
At this moment, Zuo Dao was also struggling. After all, he was not a true immortal. Although he possessed the Divine Body and Immortal Soul, it was important to note that he was not absorbing energy; instead, he was transforming it.
He was like a floodgate, but the dimensions of his task were much larger. He was converting the torrent that had surged just a moment ago into a gentle stream through his own being.
This alone was a significant impact on him, not to mention that he had to carefully guide the energy into Tai Shu Yun's body.
However, he also gained considerable benefits. Each time he transformed the energy, a wisp of celestial aura would be absorbed by him. This was not an act of opportunism; if he did not intercept this celestial aura, he would be unable to control its flow.
He certainly did not want Tai Shu Yun to be overwhelmed by the celestial energy.
After Tai Shu Yun's internal injuries were healed by the celestial aura, she entered a state of ethereal bliss, leaving Zuo Dao to bear the burden.
At this time, Liang was also working hard. The image resembling an old man had completely vanished, replaced by a figure carved from jade—bright-eyed and chubby-limbed, with two little horns protruding. Her round face would reveal deep dimples when she smiled, making her quite endearing.
This transformation was not due to any malicious intent; it was simply a reflection of the heart and body. If Zuo Dao were to recognize her as his master, she might take on an entirely different appearance. However, Tai Shu Yun was merely a woman with an incredibly domineering Lotus Fire within her.
During this transformation, Liang could not help but be influenced by Tai Shu Yun's subconscious, resulting in this new visage.
Yet he felt no resistance to this change; compared to Spirit Tools, appearance was secondary. In reality, Liang was still just a child among Celestial Artifacts.
Above low-grade Celestial Artifacts were medium-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade ones. Beyond Celestial Artifacts were spiritual treasures and even higher entities that required billions or even tens of billions of years to manifest.
Fortunately for Liang, only the Spirit Tool had been damaged; his form remained intact, and the formations inscribed within him were unharmed. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the process of nourishment finally came to an end.
Tai Shu Yun slowly regained her senses as her mind filled with vast amounts of information—everything that Liang had intentionally transmitted to her. Although the Celestial Quantifier had fallen and the Spirit Tool had found a new master, the desire for revenge still rooted itself deeply in his heart.
It was also due to the existence of Zuo Dao; otherwise, Tai Shu Yun could have potentially become a Celestial Quantifier for the nation. But now, everything was different. The essence merely conveyed this idea to Tai Shu Yun, rather than allowing her to inherit it.
The recognition of each Celestial Artifact could be seen as a reincarnation or a takeover, and such situations were rare. The pressure Zuo Dao exerted was simply too immense. Even Zuo Dao gave off an aura reminiscent of an emperor among immortals.
Tai Shu Yun had already been identified by the essence as Zuo Dao's woman, and naturally, she did not dare to act recklessly.
At that moment, seeing that Tai Shu Yun could freely manipulate the celestial energy within her, Zuo Dao finally sighed in relief and then slumped down onto the ground, losing all semblance of composure.
"Look at how exhausted you are; you don't even come over to help. How heartless can you be?"
Tai Shu Yun then noticed that Zuo Dao was drenched from head to toe, as if he had just been caught in a downpour.
What kind of situation could leave a Cultivator in such a state? Moreover, she knew that Zuo Dao was no ordinary Cultivator.
If he was this exhausted, one could only imagine how difficult the previous recognition process must have been.
Just as she was about to step forward to help Zuo Dao up, her brow suddenly furrowed. At that moment, Zuo Dao also sensed something amiss. Then a wail echoed through the air.
"Damn it! How could I forget about this!"
