Zhou Xuan's proclamation about resurrecting the "Blood Well" made the Painter's legs feel weak instantly.

As the foremost Divine Office in the Bone Elder Association, the Painter, who had long dealt with the deep and enigmatic events of Jing Country, naturally understood what the resurrection of the "Blood Well" entailed.

The horrifying records from that Laba Night over sixty years ago are still fresh in his memory.

The Painter knew, and naturally, the Music Master knew too.

"Painter, what are you scared of? Let me be frank—Blood Well is one of Jing Country's Four Heavenly Venerables. If something monumental happens, who would dare stir up trouble?"

Look at Zhou Xuan's choice of words… If he outright claimed the Blood Well was the fourth Heavenly Venerable, its aura might feel diminished,

but calling it "one of the Four Heavenly Venerables" obviously amplified its prestige.

It was then that they realized: the fourth figure who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Tao Ancestor, the Ancient Buddha, and the Witch God was indeed the Blood Well.

The Painter, Music Master, Lady Hong Guan, and the others gained a renewed understanding of Zhou Xuan's Double Secret Realm.

Previously, they believed Zhou Xuan carried the Dual Heavenly Secret Realm.

Blood Well, being the strongest Alien Ghost in the human world and ranking at the Heavenly God Level, seemed rightful in its position.

However, they hadn't imagined that their perception of possibilities was still restrained.

Blood Well turned out to be above the Heavenly God Level.

Yet, the Heavenly Venerable rank of Blood Well didn't imply that Zhou Xuan's plan was highly feasible.

The Music Master advised, "Young Master, after your ascension to the Heavenly Dome, the gods didn't dare kill you there because of the will of the Nuo God within you."

If Zhou Xuan were to die in the Heavenly Dome, the fragment of Nuo God's will would seep into the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom. With the mist that blocks Nuo God dissipated, its awakening would inevitably lead to chaos. If Nuo God's mood soured, it could truly slay several God-level beings in the Heavenly Dome to vent its wrath.

"So my plan to resurrect the Blood Well is feasible then," Zhou Xuan said.

"But you absolutely must not proceed with such a plan. Doing so would put the entire Jing Country on a fiery grill," the Music Master retorted.

Although usually engrossed in cultivation, the Music Master was not entirely reckless and had deeper considerations.

"Young Master, sixty years ago on Laba Night, Blood Well was resurrected and engaged in unbridled slaughter. To appease the wrath of this Heavenly Venerable, Jing Country covertly enacted policies to restrict the capture of Blood Well Spirits and even proactively changed the nation's name.

After that night, Jing Country's cultivation community suffered a devastating blow, and it still hasn't fully recovered.

But because Blood Well is a Heavenly Venerable, no one dares provoke it.

But if you awaken it, that's a different story altogether."

The Music Master elaborated, "Blood Well is one of the Four Heavenly Venerables, untouchable by challengers, but you are different. Even with Zhou Family's incense-fed reinforcement, your incense power can only reach 'Sit Eight Look Nine,' and you cannot leave the Flower Sea laid by Lord Hua."

Zhou Lingyi's Flower Sea is the core method of incense-fed reinforcement.

Within the Flower Sea, Zhou Xuan holds the battle capacity of 'Sit Eight Look Nine.' But once beyond the Flower Sea, Zhou Xuan's power dwindles to Four Incenses. After Heavenly Gods Divination, his power can rise to Six Incenses.

Yet, whether it's Six Incenses or the somewhat incomplete 'Sit Eight Look Nine,' neither is invincible in the human world.

The human realm indeed harbors Nine Incenses entities; the exact number remains uncertain, but according to the Music Master and Painter's estimations, their presence is likely substantial.

"Young Master, if you awaken this Heavenly Venerable called Blood Well, then once things settle down, you will also have given those Nine Incenses and Eight Incenses beings a reason to attack you. Together, they will hunt you, and no one will be able to stop them."

"It's just a Divine Status, not worth wagering one's life over," the Painter chimed in.

In his eyes, while a Divine Status was undeniably precious, it paled in comparison to Zhou Xuan's life.

"This isn't about Divine Status. A Buddha fights for one Incense; a man fights for his pride. It's a matter of principle. Today, if we allow Gong Zheng to run amok, tomorrow there will be more gods stepping over boundaries!"

When Zhou Xuan spoke to this point, his impassioned tone softened slightly, as he stated, "Of course, I'm not entirely irrational. Awaken the Blood Well here on Earth, and it would undoubtedly result in unrestrained slaughter. But if I awaken the Blood Well above the Heavenly Dome, it will first cut down the gods of the Heavenly Dome. By the time it's done, it will likely lapse into slumber again!"

"The plan is insane. Besides, how are we supposed to get to the Heavenly Dome?" the Painter asked.

"You have mastery of Space Law; you can ascend to the Heavenly Dome. I have Divine Soul Day Trip and can follow you there," Zhou Xuan replied.

He added, "When you traverse the space realm, you can carry people. Just bring my physical body up there."

"That's not what I meant… The Heavenly Dome is filled with swirling mists. There are no Nine Incenses of the human realm there. Up in the Heavenly Dome, you won't even see the twenty-four Divine Countries.

You won't see the Divine Countries, much less the gods," the Painter articulated his concerns.

"We don't need to see them. Let them… come to meet me."

Zhou Xuan clasped his hands behind his back and gazed toward the faraway Heavenly Kingdom.

But this was no ordinary gaze; there was no longing, worship, or awe traditionally associated with looking up at the sky.

In the eyes of those present, Zhou Xuan's gaze held a hint of disdain for all beings.

"Painter, you don't need to worry too much. Just follow me."

"Follow you… Let's go," the Painter muttered to himself in hesitation, before gritting his teeth and deciding to accompany Zhou Xuan in executing the "Blood Well Awakening" plan.

"I'll first do a Divine Soul Day Trip and wait for you above the Heavenly Kingdom."

Zhou Xuan's Divine Soul drifted away for his day trip.

The Painter tore open space, wearing an expression of determined fatalism, and carried Zhou Xuan's physical body into the rift.

"Ever since I encountered Young Master, I've changed; everything has changed… I once fancied myself a defiant renegade,"
