It turns out, they were the main characters.

He then opened his personal profile.

The pink heart-shaped boxes after the name and role remain the same, but the titles below have gradually increased.

Among those titles, Mu Zhian noticed a dark green box.

The title above is: [The Legacy of the Azure Emperor]

The bonus from this title is that it allows Mu Zhian to use the Azure Emperor's ultimate technique, the Purifying Azure Lotus.

Although it cannot compare to the orthodox methods, it is still the Azure Emperor's unique skill, and it can be used in most battles in the future.

Lingxuan was born with a spiritual body, Ruoxi was protected by a sword immortal, and Ye Qian inherited the Azure Emperor's legacy... But why is there another title?

Mu Zhi'an soon discovered that after the [Azure Emperor's Inheritance], there was a seventh title: [Heavenly Mandate Sacred Body].

"Whose constitution is this...?" Mu Zhian looked at the dazzling golden frame and the four golden characters on it with suspicion, and couldn't help but hesitate.

It's highly unlikely that she's the Holy Maiden of Yaochi; she's probably one of the chief disciples, or perhaps a senior disciple.

Or perhaps the sect leader?

Mu Zhian shook his head slightly, quickly collected his thoughts, and closed his personal interface.

There was something he absolutely had to confirm tonight.

After leaving the study, Mu Zhian saw a maid in a yellow dress sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard.

"Sister Mengrou, why are you out here daydreaming so late?" Mu Zhian greeted her with a smile.

Wei Mengrou glanced at her sideways and said indifferently, "I thought you weren't coming back tonight."

"Did Sister Mengrou wait for me here specifically?" Mu Zhian was somewhat touched.

"I just came out to enjoy the moonlight and have a cup of tea." Wei Mengrou replied indifferently, sitting with her slender legs crossed, completely disregarding her young master's status.

"Where is Ruoxi?" Mu Zhian asked.

"He's meditating indoors, about to break through," Wei Mengrou said.

As she spoke, she glanced at Mu Zhian again: "You seem to be planning to go out again? You'll be going to the forbidden area in a little over a month. It'll be very troublesome if you don't get the Reincarnation Water by then, won't it?"

"I only planned to go out and check on the matter of the Reincarnation Water," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou moved her delicate neck, seemingly wanting to turn her head to look at Mu Zhian, but out of consideration for her pride, she maintained her aloofness and said indifferently, "Where are you going?"

“If I simply go to Lingxuan’s father to ask for the Rebirth Water, he may not agree, even if I am his future son-in-law.”

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "However, everyone here prefers compromise."

"If I were to ask for the Reincarnation Water, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone might refuse me."

"But if I were to say at that moment that a demon has been born in the Temple of Pilgrimage and that if we don't take action, it will endanger the Eastern Continent, and then mention the Reincarnation Water, he won't refuse me."

Wei Mengrou's eyes changed slightly, and she said softly, "You want to release the demon cultivators in the Pilgrimage Hall?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly.

"But before that, we need to find someone to confirm it one last time." He deliberately kept them in suspense, staring at the beautiful profile of the maid in the yellow dress.

Wei Mengrou finally couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian and asked, "Who?"

That's more like it. It's no fun if you're always so cold. It would be even better if you could show a little bit of shyness in the future...

Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and looked towards the direction of Liangyi Peak.

"The person who has been secretly guiding all of this since I entered the sect."

"Are you talking about the sect leader?"

Noticing the direction Mu Zhian was gazing, Wei Mengrou suddenly asked.

"As expected of my personal maid, Sister Mengrou really knows everything," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Wei Mengrou pursed her lips: "These are just some basic speculations."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something important and continued, "You went to Tianxuan City a couple of days ago. Did you visit Elder Ren while you were there?"

Back in Tianxuan City, Elder Ren took good care of both Wei Mengrou and Mu Zhian. Even when Mu Zhian was still a spoiled brat, the old man never looked down on him. Therefore, even Mu Zhian at that time respected Elder Ren very much.

"I gave him a few bottles of pills and chatted with him for a while," Mu Zhian nodded.

Wei Mengrou nodded slightly and said no more.

After bidding farewell to Wei Mengrou, Mu Zhian flew to the front of Liangyi Peak on his sword and used paper cranes to send a message to his senior sister on the peak.

After a short wait, a beautiful woman in a white dress, her feet seemingly stepping on clouds, quietly came into view within Liangyi Peak.

"Senior Sister," Mu Zhian called out.

Lan Mulian nodded slightly, glanced at him, and said, "Master is waiting for you in the courtyard."

"She already knows I'm coming...?" Mu Zhian was slightly surprised, but not entirely unexpected.

After all, this is a big shark, and it seems that he has been plotting something since he first entered the sect, so it's not surprising that people can guess his movements.

Upon arriving at the pavilion, Mu Zhian met the peerless leader of the Liangyi Sect in a unique and elegant room.

One of the few Dao Integration Realm experts in the world, and also a woman that Mu Zhian has yet to see through.

She was just as Mu Zhian remembered her: casual, noble, elegant, and mysterious. If one ignored her vulgar breasts and voluptuous figure, one would only feel a strong sense of awe in her presence.

Fortunately, Mu Zhian's "love" for the sect leader outweighed his "reverence," which prevented him from being subservient or even losing his composure in front of her.

"Sit down, there's no need to be so formal." Shang Yanfei smiled her signature mature and sophisticated smile, exuding a mysterious aura.

"Did the sect leader know I would come to see you?" Mu Zhian sat down opposite Shang Yanfei at her prompting.

"The Azure Emperor recently entered another of your cauldrons, so it's not surprising that you've come looking for me," Shang Yanfei said with a light laugh.

This sect leader really knows everything. She might even have secretly guided me into the grotto of the Pilgrimage Hall... Mu Zhian said succinctly: "Senior Qingdi needs Reincarnation Water and Heavenly Phoenix Fruit."

"The Heavenly Phoenix Fruit is in the Jade Pool Holy Land. Knowing that the Azure Emperor is still alive, even if you don't go to them, they will come looking for you," said Consort Shang Yan.

"However, how do you intend to obtain the Reincarnation Water?" She gazed at Mu Zhi'an.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "When people don't face a major enemy, they only consider their own interests. But once they have a common enemy, they will consider their allies. The strength of the allies can also reduce the loss of their own interests."

"Senior Qingdi once said that the old demon's strength is not what it used to be. Even if she is gone, he will also perish in another hundred years."

"So... you want to squeeze out every last bit of value from it before that happens?" Shang Yanfei raised an eyebrow.

"However, I am a little worried that if the people of the demon realm find out, they might come to rescue us..." Mu Zhian said, while secretly watching the empress.

Shang Yanfei leisurely picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea, which made her lips more moist.

“A thousand years ago, the demon realm was barren and the entire Northern Continent was in constant war. The Demon Emperor did not stop all of this because the path he cultivated was related to the power of life and death.”

"After that, the Demon Emperor mastered his skills and coveted the Eastern Continent. So he led his demon cultivators to attack the Eastern Continent, but they happened to encounter the Azure Emperor."

"You know what happened after that. The Azure Emperor used the Purifying Lotus to suppress the Demon Emperor. Not long after, the Demon Emperor's adopted daughter succeeded him as the Demon Queen and quelled the war within a few years."

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "Does the Sect Master mean that if the Demon Queen knew that the First Demon Emperor was within the Two Elements Sect, she wouldn't send anyone to rescue him? But they're not father and daughter...?"

"The Demon Emperor adopted nine sons and nine daughters in total, and only the one who survives can become his successor," said Consort Shang Yan.

"I understand now, the first Demon Emperor is raising Gu poison..." Mu Zhian thought to himself, slightly realizing the situation.

Thinking about it carefully, did that beautiful snake really not know where the first demon emperor was?

The tremors at the Pilgrimage Temple were not isolated incidents; Ying Guhuan had likely informed the Demon Queen of this news long ago.

But the other party remained silent for a long time. Was it because they were unsure whether the first Demon Emperor was sealed in the Liangyi Sect, or... did they simply not care about the other party's life or death?

After hearing Shang Yanfei's words, the answer seemed quite obvious.

"The Azure Emperor sacrificed himself for the sake of the Eastern Continent. The Lord of the Forbidden Zone is not a stubborn and inflexible person. If you explain the situation to him, he will help you."

Shang Yanfei paused, a hint of mockery in her voice: "However, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone has only ever had one daughter, and therefore dotes on her greatly."

"He might care more about his daughter's love life than the water of reincarnation."

Although she didn't continue speaking, Mu Zhian already understood Shang Yanfei's meaning.

This was indirectly telling him: if you've seduced the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone, you need to be mentally prepared before meeting the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master," Mu Zhian said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Afterwards, he exchanged a few more words with Shang Yanfei, and before getting up to leave, he suddenly said, "By the way, Sect Leader, about what we talked about earlier about going to the Pilgrimage Hall to see the peach blossoms..."

“There will definitely be opportunities in the future,” Shang Yanfei said with a faint smile, her elegant and bright eyes gazing quietly at Mu Zhian.

This sounds similar to "I'll definitely say it next time"... Mu Zhian bowed again and took his leave of the Empress.

He was just testing the waters; he didn't really want to introduce the great white shark into the fishpond so soon.

……

After leaving the pavilion, Mu Zhian saw Lan Mulian sitting under the gazebo outside.

The table was laden with delicious dishes, and the rich aroma of the food filled the air.

"Senior sister, are you having a late-night snack so late?" Mu Zhian came to Lan Mulian's side and asked with a smile.

Lan Mulian glanced at him and said indifferently, "This is not what I want."

Although she had it delivered, it wasn't something she wanted to eat. In the end, those at the Returning to the Void Realm didn't need to eat anything, and she wasn't interested in most foods.

“If it’s not what Senior Sister wants, it couldn’t possibly be what the Sect Leader wants, could it…?” Mu Zhian said.

Logically speaking, the sect leader shouldn't be a glutton...

Lan Mulian glanced at him and said, "Not Master."

Who else could it be?

Spirit Dragon...?

Well, it's not impossible. After all, Linglong has been in the sect for so long, it's impossible for him not to know the sect leader.

Ultimately, his meetings with Linglong seem to be backed by the sect leader.

He was taking advantage of Ye Yu, this fat sheep, while the Empress was also taking advantage of him... Oh, no, Consort Shang wasn't taking advantage of him, she was bringing him wool.

Gazing at the thoughtful Mu Zhian, Lan Mulian hesitated for a moment. Then, with a hint of something different from usual on her usually aloof face, which seemed to have been carefully sculpted by the heavens, she said, "Thank you for today's gift."
