“Supreme Dao Lotus! What a magnificent name!” Tai Shu Yun thought it sounded beautiful, unaware of what it truly represented.
“Not only does it sound good, but it looks even better!” Zuo Dao chimed in.
Indeed, the Supreme Dao Lotus was truly stunning! When the Dan Fire was unleashed, it resembled a blooming lotus flower, its color a delicate white with hints of pink, resembling a exquisite piece of art that could only be admired from afar. It was deadly to touch; even being near it could lead to death, though the owner of the Lotus Fire was exempt from this fate.
Suddenly, Zuo Dao raised an eyebrow as two figures appeared in the room.
Tai Shu Yun stared at the two newcomers in shock before pouting in annoyance.
“Grandpa, Uncle, how can you just barge in like this!”
The newcomers were none other than Tai Shu Yi and Tai Shu Reincarnation, two titans from Spirit Sword Mountain.
“Child, do you really know how to help Yun'er activate the Lotus Fire?” Tai Shu Reincarnation ignored Tai Shu Yun and grabbed Zuo Dao, asking urgently.
Zuo Dao looked at the two older men with disdain. They had eavesdropped for quite some time and now appeared so excited; he wondered where their cultivation had gone.
“Didn’t you hear everything? Why are you still asking?”
Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi's faces flushed slightly. They had only intended to check on Tai Shu Yun but ended up being drawn into the cave by Zuo Dao. Unable to relax, they hid nearby and were shocked to overhear such astonishing news.
It seemed that only Tai Shu Yun was unaware of the situation. But perhaps ignorance was better than knowing.
“This is our fault; we apologize for intruding,” Tai Shu Yi said. The fact that a Sword Master could utter such words not only surprised Zuo Dao but also made him realize how important Tai Shu Yun was to them—this was undoubtedly good news.
“Uncle, Grandpa, what are you both doing?”
Since their arrival, they had exchanged only a few words, but with her keen insight, Tai Shu Yun sensed something was amiss.
“Well…” Tai Shu Reincarnation looked awkward, hesitating on how to respond.
Zuo Dao couldn’t hold back any longer. “Isn’t it just Crimson Lotus Blood? I don’t understand why you’re keeping this from her; it’s good news!”
Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi had now developed the intent to kill Zuo Dao. Well, they knew you would handle this Supreme Dao Lotus, but we certainly wouldn't; no one in the entire Earth Altar Star Domain could.
"What is Crimson Lotus Blood?" Tai Shu Yun realized that this was somehow related to her, as if she was hiding some great secret within herself.
"Alright, there's nothing much. You all discuss it among yourselves, and come find me once you've made up your minds. This process will be a bit painful and will have significant effects, so be prepared." The mention of pain was directed at Tai Shu Yun, while the final words were meant for Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi.
Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi stopped asking Zuo Dao any further questions and simply dragged Tai Shu Yun out of the Cave. Zuo Dao understood they needed some time to communicate and also required a bit of time to prepare.
Supreme Dao Lotus!
Zuo Dao had only obtained this information from the memories of his body. Not only was it unique in Alchemy, but it was also unparalleled in weapon forging and combat. The most crucial point was that once this Dan Fire took shape, it could not be stripped away from its host; just this fact secured its position as the fourth-ranked Dan Fire in the world. As for the top three, Zuo Dao had no knowledge of them, as there was no information regarding them deep within his memories.
Once everyone had left, Zuo Dao found himself with a rare moment of leisure. After tidying up a bit, he went straight to sleep. Although cultivators had already transcended the realm of mortals, he felt that this way made him feel more human.
Gai's Tai Fortress was located in the northern part of the Earth Altar Star Domain, facing off against the southern Spirit Sword Mountain from a distance. As forces on the same tier, Gai's Tai Fortress naturally had its merits. Spirit Sword Mountain was renowned for its swords, while Gai's Tai Fortress gained fame through its pills.
However, Spirit Sword Mountain had become an everlasting pain for Gai's Tai Fortress. As a giant known for Alchemy, there wasn't a single standout among the younger generation to uphold their reputation. In contrast, Spirit Sword Mountain produced a widely known "Demon Princess"—Tai Shu Yun. How could Gai Jiuyou, the leader of Gai's Tai Fortress, not feel a headache over this?
Urban Journey, as the chief Alchemist of Gai's Tai Fortress, was also troubled by this matter. Looking at his silent and proud disciple standing beside him made him furious at his lack of progress. Being overshadowed by a girl was quite humiliating for an eighth-grade Alchemist!
"Lun'er, has your cultivation been going smoothly lately?" Despite having countless grievances, as a mentor, he still needed to show concern.
"Master, during this period I've been focusing on my cultivation and feel that I've already touched upon the barrier of becoming a fifth-grade Alchemist," replied a young man with an air of scholarly elegance.
He appeared gentle and well-mannered; his eloquence revealed that he was an elite Cultivator who had received a good education. If one got closer, they could catch a faint scent of medicinal herbs emanating from him.
This person was none other than Gai Jiuyou's only son from Gai's Tai Fortress—the most promising candidate to break through to ninth-grade Alchemist—Garen.
However, his mood had never been good; being overshadowed by a girl from a Sword Cultivator sect weighed heavily on him. Any man would feel displeased about being outshone by someone else, especially in his area of expertise. Yet the facts were clear: she was already a sixth-grade Alchemist while he lingered at fourth grade.
Garen still held admiration for Tai Shu Yun; pride aside, he believed that as a man he should possess magnanimity. Just because he couldn't measure up now didn't mean he would never be able to; men should never accept defeat.
Garen's talent was commendable; otherwise Urban Journey wouldn't have taken him as a disciple. Unfortunately, there existed an even more monstrous presence that overshadowed his brilliance.
“Fifth Rank Barrier! Very good, not bad. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at any time. But remember, there are no shortcuts in Alchemy. You have talent, and the only thing left is to work hard on mastering it. As your master, this is all I can teach you. Now it's up to you,” Urban Journey said, not wanting to say much more. He had taught everything that needed to be taught; the rest depended entirely on Garen.
“Thank you, Master. I will keep all of this in mind,” Garen replied with a bow before stepping out. His master was great in every way except for his lack of words. However, he was genuinely good to him, sharing some secret teachings. It seemed he still needed to work harder; if he had put in more effort, perhaps he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
If Zuo Dao knew what Garen was thinking, he would probably laugh until he fell over. Competing in Alchemy with someone who possessed Crimson Lotus Blood was either a sign of a lack of sense or just plain foolishness.
Garen had no idea what kind of person he had set as his goal. At that moment, he was filled with ambition and threw himself into the pursuit of Alchemy with great fervor.
After a night of contemplation and preparation, Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi arrived at Zuo Dao's Cave with Tai Shu Yun. The entire Spirit Sword Mountain went on high alert; some elite disciples were summoned and roamed the mountain, creating an atmosphere charged with tension.
Zuo Dao sensed the changes happening outside and understood Spirit Sword Mountain's decision. In truth, regardless of whether Spirit Sword Mountain made this decision or not, Zuo Dao would have activated the Crimson Lotus Blood within Tai Shu Yun himself to create a Supreme Dao Lotus. Not for any other reason but for that sense of accomplishment; without the Second Ancestor's Seven Sons around, he felt quite bored.
Tai Shu Reincarnation and Tai Shu Yi were filled with excitement; today was undoubtedly the most important day of their lives. It wasn’t just about the future of Spirit Sword Mountain but also about the future of their only family member—Tai Shu Yun.
Though Sword Cultivators had no distractions, each one held onto their own beliefs and their own sword heart.
And Tai Shu Yun was their only hope.
Everything depended on today.
