Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Moreover, at the critical moment, had you not stopped the three great Demon Spirits Kings, I wouldn't have been able to borrow the power of the Venerable Dragon Predecessor to defeat the Lord of the Blood Demon Fiend. Therefore, you are not a sinner but a meritorious figure!"

"Indeed, the Domain Lord is correct," Zixuan Tian Zun spoke. "Pangu Tianzun, you are a meritorious figure!"

"Yes!" the crowd followed, nodding in agreement.

"However, I ultimately led the Lord of the Blood Demon Fiend to this era," Pangu Tianzun said, his complexion shifting slightly.

"Firstly, even had I not brought him over, I would eventually have gone to the Primordial to find him. This battle was inevitable. Secondly, I know that the Lord of the Blood Demon Fiend did not fully trust you and did not disclose all his plans to you. Even if you hadn't brought him over, he would certainly have found other ways to come here, and you were waiting for the best opportunity without revealing yourself," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.

Pangu Tianzun's expression became serious and astonished.

Chu Qin actually understood him so well.

"So, you have merit without fault!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile. "Pangu Tianzun, on behalf of Douluo Holy Land, I invite you to join and become the first Elder of our Douluo Holy Land!"

"Greetings, Elder Pangu!" Upon hearing this, all the people of the Sanctuary knelt in unison.

"Yes, Domain Lord, thank you for your magnanimity. From now on, Pangu shall do his utmost to serve the Douluo Holy Land!" Pangu Tianzun said, tears streaming from gratitude.

Chu Qin nodded. Then the crowd began to rise to their feet.

"From today onwards, every Domain Lord of the Great Holy Domains shall be an Elder of the Douluo Holy Land, but each Holy Domain shall maintain its own governance." Chu Qin then looked towards the crowd and continued, "People of the Holy Domains, hurry back to your respective territories and pacify the people within the Holy Domains."

"If you encounter something undecided, come find me in Mount Sea Emperor City."

"We will follow the Domain Lord's orders!" the crowd shouted in unison.

"Domain Lord!" Just then, Jiucail Xuan Nu spoke.

"Xuan Nu, what is it?" Chu Qin asked, with a touch of tenderness in his voice.

"Domain Lord, according to the agreement I made with you before, Xuan Nu resigns from the position of Lord of the Heavenly Earth Holy Domain to accompany you, Domain Lord, at your side!" said Jiucail Xuan Nu.

Hearing this, the women around Chu Qin revealed meaningful smiles.

The people of the Sanctum of Heaven and Earth all showed subtle changes in their expressions.

Chu Qin smiled indifferently and said, "No problem, but who do you propose to succeed as the Lord of the Heavenly Earth Holy Domain?"

Chu Qin never refused anything when it came to his wives.

"Predecessor Pangu is already an Elder of the Sanctum of Heaven and Earth, revered and meritorious. It would be fitting for you to take over as the Lord of the Heavenly Earth Holy Domain," Jiucail Xuan Nu looked towards Pangu Tianzun.

Just as Pangu Tianzun was about to refuse, Chu Qin preempted with a smile, "Pangu Tianzun, since it is the will of the people and the hope of the masses, don't decline."

"All right, entrusted by the Domain Lord and trusted by Xuan Nu, I shall take up the role of Lord of the Heavenly Earth Holy Domain," Pangu Tianzun seemed to understand Chu Qin's intentions and nodded without further objection.

Immediately after, the people from the Eight Great Holy Domains dispersed. Aside from those old Celestial Venerates from the Primordial, who followed Chu Qin into the Mount Sea Emperor City, everyone else returned to their respective Holy Domains.

With that, the most difficult battle of the Sanctuary could be said to have been a resounding success.

Yet, everyone still had lingering fears as they speculated about the nature of that mysterious curse.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During these three days, there were no unusual occurrences in the Holy Land; on the contrary, thanks to the presence of Immortal Yuan, everyone's Cultivation had experienced significant improvement.

Plus, as the surrounding scenery had not changed, everyone gradually adapted to the world here.

On this day, in the Douluo Imperial Palace.

Chu Qin had delegated all matters to the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable, Long Xue, Azure Dragon, Bi Bidong, Ye Zixi, Murong Linger, Shengming. These former rulers were now in charge of management.

The women gladly accepted the responsibility. After all, they felt guilt for not being able to assist Chu Qin in the battle. Now that Chu Qin was entrusting the affairs of the Douluo Holy Land to them, they saw it as an opportunity to make up for that guilt.

As for Chu Qin, he stayed indoors, not stepping out beyond his second gate, both consolidating his foundation as a Heavenly Venerate and refining pure Blood Elements.

After two days of consolidation, Chu Qin's realm had completely stabilized within the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

As for his strength, it should be at the level of an Unmatched Heavenly Venerate. Of course, if he were to use the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal and the Supreme Fusion Law, as well as the Blood Hidden Dragon Divine Sword and the Blood Chi Sword, Chu Qin could achieve the combat power beyond that of a normal Heavenly Venerate!

Not only that, but Chu Qin was just one step away from completely unlocking the seal of the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal and gaining the qualifications to summon the Primordial Azure Dragon.

Naturally, he wouldn't give up.

After all, the so-called mysterious curse was an unknown factor, and the stronger Chu Qin's strength, the better.

"I really didn't expect that the blood of the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend would be easier to refine than the blood element of the Immortal King Tomb. It won't be long before I can completely purify the blood element." Chu Qin said with a slight smile.

"The old man feels that the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend, even in the Nine Heavens, should be very strong, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to conquer these Nine Heavens," the Blood Dragon Venerable said. "He probably isn't much weaker than the master of the Immortal King Tomb."

"Mm, Venerable Dragon Predecessor, I also have this feeling," Chu Qin said with a slight smile. "However, to truly know the strength of the Nine Heavens, we should take a look at the world outside the Sanctuary."

"When do you plan to take us two old guys out to see the world?" the Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign asked.

"There's no hurry. Wait until I have completely unsealed the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal and mastered the Azure Dragon Power," Chu Qin said indifferently.

"Mm!" Both the Blood Dragon Venerable and the Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign nodded.

"Speaking of which, you two venerable beings have been inside me for so long, when do you plan to come out?" Chu Qin asked.

"Hahaha." The Blood Dragon Venerable laughed. "We'd like to come out, but for the time being, there's no way we can."

"Yes, we'll have to stay for a while and, by the way, help you completely unravel the Supreme Fusion Law." The Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign replied, "Anyway, the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend is dead, and our greatest long-held wish has been fulfilled."

"Mm, I really didn't expect the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend to be killed so quickly," the Blood Dragon Venerable nodded.

"However, Venerable Dragon Predecessor, Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign, I feel that the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend hasn't really died!" Chu Qin said with a light smile.

"Not dead?" Both the Blood Dragon Venerable and the Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign were shocked.

"Do you remember the last words of the Blood Dragon Venerable? He and his Blood Demon Fiends would regroup in Jiuyou Diming," Chu Qin replied. "Although he obviously can't come out for the time being, I always feel that he hasn't completely died."

Jiuyou Diming is a world that only exists in legends. Whether it truly exists is difficult to say," Zhen Yuan Celestial Sovereign sighed.

"Mm, but never mind him, even if the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend makes a comeback, we can just kill him again!" Chu Qin said with a slight chill in his tone.

"Master, Xuanlin and Xuan Nu request an audience."

At that moment, there was a calling voice from outside.

It was from the Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable.

"There you go, old guys, Chu Qin is going to flirt now. Let's both of us keep quiet," the Blood Dragon Venerable said with a smile.

Chu Qin smiled lightly and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and Eight Imperial Qilin Venerable Xuanlin and Jiucail Xuan Nu walked in.

These two people, one wore a tight blue armor, the other was dressed in a green figure-hugging palace dress, both extraordinarily beautiful and with fiery figures to the extreme.

"Kirin Venerate, Xuan Nu, why are the two of you looking for me together?" Chu Qin said with a slight smile.

"Master, these are the matters of the Douluo Holy Land that have been handled during this period. Please take a look!" Kirin Venerate said respectfully, handing over a stack of petitions.

"No need, I trust the way you handle things," Chu Qin replied with a smile.

"Yes!" Kirin Venerate nodded.

"And you, Xuan Nu?" Chu Qin turned toward Jiucail Xuan Nu.

"Master, Xuan Nu always feels like as your maid, I am always idle, so I'd like to ask the master to give me something to do," Jiucail Xuan Nu replied.

"These past two days, I have been in closed-door cultivation and I indeed forgot about this. How about this, Xuan Nu, why don't you stay here and help me tend the fire?" Chu Qin asked.
