The Zhou family's location is considered remote in the Tai Shi Dao Domain, and the territory they occupy is not large. Moreover, the Zhou family has never expanded outwards, only guarding their own small territory.
However, whether it was the Universal Holy Land, the Yin-Yang Grotto Heaven, or the Pantheon, they all tacitly designated nearly a quarter of the Tai Shi Dao Domain, centered on the Zhou family, as Zhou family territory.
It should be noted that although the Tai Shi Dao Domain has four immortal forces, it is still occupied by countless forces of all sizes.
Even excluding the other three immortal forces of the Zhou family, they only occupy two-quarters of the territory of the Tai Shi Dao Domain.
The fact that they designated a quarter of the land as Zhou family territory is enough to prove their respect for the Zhou family.
Although the Zhou family has never acknowledged it, this nearly quarter of the state has become a pure land in the Tai Shi Dao Domain, spared from the ravages of war by the Universal Holy Land, Yin Yang Cave Heaven, and the Pantheon.
Many of the Zhou family's affiliated forces have also taken root here, spreading the Zhou family's power and prestige. As a result, although countless people in this region have never truly witnessed the power of the Zhou family, they still hold the Zhou family in the highest esteem.
Zhou Xingdou stepped into the entrance of the Tai Shi Dao Domain, which was located in the far south of the Tai Shi Dao Domain, while the Zhou family was located in the far north of the Tai Shi Dao Domain. To return to the Zhou family, one would have to cross almost the entire Tai Shi Dao Domain.
Along the way, Zhou Xingdou also sensed a lot of battle fluctuations. In the past, when Qin Ming protected him, he didn't feel anything.
Only now do I realize the chaos and power of the Primordial Dao Domain.
True gods are as numerous as dogs, and god-kings roam the earth.
The cultivators of the Tai Shi Dao Domain are at least one or two levels higher in cultivation than those of the Tai Chu Dao Domain.
Fortunately, the Saint Realm was also a powerful force in the Tai Shi Dao Domain, with Fa Hai and Yuan Tian, one a peak Saint and the other a Supreme Saint, so no one dared to provoke them along the way.
The group encountered no obstacles and arrived smoothly at the Zhou family's territory.
Looking at the auspicious and peaceful scene in the Zhou family's territory, Luo Hanyi's eyes filled with emotion, and he slowly shook his head, saying:
"Not like a single region."
Although they did not encounter any danger along the way, everything they saw and heard could only be described as bloody. The rest of the Tai Shi Dao Domain was like a giant meat grinder that was constantly running, continuously devouring lives.
This contrasts sharply with the tranquility of Zhoujia's territory, making one feel as if they have stepped into another world.
Fahai, fiddling with his prayer beads, recalled his experiences along the way and couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, where the master is located, is indeed quite capable. At least the Tai Chu Dao Domain, although weak, is still much more peaceful."
Yuan Tian chuckled softly and slowly explained:
"The weakness of the Primordial Dao Domain precisely proves the strength of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect. Isn't this a case of a strong nation with weak people, or a weak nation with strong people?"
The three immortal forces in the Tai Shi Dao Domain were locked in a fierce battle, making it difficult for cultivators to remain unscathed. They had no choice but to constantly plunder and strengthen themselves, which made the Tai Shi Dao Domain powerful but chaotic.
The fundamental reason is that the Tai Shi Dao Domain, unlike the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, did not suppress the entire Dao Domain, causing all forces to hesitate and dare not act rashly.
But just as Yuan Tian was talking at length, a deep voice suddenly rang out behind Zhou Xingdou and his group.
The voice was deep and powerful, like a colossal wave that blots out the sky in the embrace of a boundless ocean, stirring the heart with emotion.
"That's right, but it's not that the Tai Shi Dao Domain doesn't have them, but rather that it does but doesn't bother with them."
Zhou Xingdou, who had been listening intently to Yuan Tian's eloquent speech, paused slightly upon hearing this voice, then a smile crept onto his lips:
"Uncle Qin, you're still as elusive as ever."
After saying that, Zhou Xingdou looked behind him and saw a middle-aged man who was nine feet tall and had an imposing presence. He had appeared behind him at some point.
This middle-aged man exuded an aura of profound mystery. He stood with his hands behind his back in the void, dressed in a star-patterned robe. His eyes were filled with vicissitudes, and he was surrounded by countless divine lights. Although he had tried his best to restrain his power, it still made the heavens and earth tremble.
But at this moment, Qin Ming's weathered eyes softened as Zhou Xingdou turned around, revealing a hint of joy as he said:
"I thought the young master had forgotten about this old man."
Stephen Chow immediately grinned:
"How could I dare? I was counting on Uncle Qin to be my protector."
Qin Ming also sighed, walked up to Zhou Xingdou, and placed his large hand on Zhou Xingdou's head to rub it.
Those eyes, brimming with the marks of time, revealed a hint of wistfulness:
"You've grown so big already."
Surprisingly, Zhou Xingdou didn't show any resistance; instead, he looked helpless and said:
"Uncle Qin, I'm not a child anymore. It's embarrassing for you to rub my head like that."
In front of Qin Ming, Zhou Xingdou couldn't put on any airs at all, because this man was the one who had guided him as he grew up.
There were too few people in the Zhou family. Zhou Xingdou had never met his parents. His four uncles lived far away from home. Moreover, Zhou Xingdou was initially resistant to his four uncles, fearing that they might do something bad to him.
Although his grandfather loved him dearly, he needed to frequently visit the ancestral home and would only come out occasionally to see him.
Therefore, Qin Ming took on the task of taking care of himself.
Qin Ming was not actually of Zhou family blood; he was more of a guest retainer of the Zhou family. He had heard that his father had been kind to him, so he voluntarily kowtowed and swore an oath to become a guest retainer of the Zhou family.
Moreover, Qin Ming's cultivation was already extremely advanced, so the Zhou family accepted him.
As for how powerful Qin Ming is, Zhou Xingdou doesn't really know.
However, he knew that the Holy Lord of the Universal Holy Land had once sought to learn from Qin Ming when he was sparring with Wan Tianzhou.
Qin Ming only separated a avatar to spar with the Universal Saint Lord in the void. In less than a hundred breaths, the Universal Saint Lord walked out of the void with a bruised and swollen face and surrendered.
From then on, the Holy Lord of the Universe lost interest in managing the Holy Land of the Universe. After handing over all matters to the Holy Mother of the Universe, he went into seclusion.
At this moment, Luo Hanyi also looked at Qin Ming, marveling at his overwhelming power. However, from Zhou Xingdou's words and expression, she could tell that this person was Zhou Xingdou's relative. She immediately cupped her hands and bowed, saying:
"Luo Hanyi greets Senior Qin."
Qin Ming slowly lifted his large hand from Zhou Xingdou's head, glanced at Luo Hanyi, and then teased Zhou Xingdou with a half-smile in his eyes:
"That's good. He knows he brought his wife back. The old man will be very happy to hear that."
Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Luo Hanyi's beautiful, icy face flushed red. Although Qin Ming was not Zhou Xingdou's grandfather, it was impossible for her not to be happy that he had been acknowledged by Zhou Xingdou's family.
Stephen Chow raised an eyebrow and gave a sly smile, saying:
"Everyone knows she's my wife, Uncle Qin, as an elder, shouldn't you give her a small gift?"
Qin Ming chuckled, but said with utmost seriousness:
"That should be the case, but this is not my true form, and I have nothing of value. If I were to casually conjure up a magic weapon, it would not be sincere enough. Let's wait until we return to the Zhou family to discuss it further."
As Qin Ming spoke, he slightly raised his palm, and Luo Hanyi immediately felt an extremely gentle yet powerful force that lifted her from her bowed position. Then, a law of creation surged forth, scattering light across the sky.
