It turns out, they were the main characters.

This statement further convinced everyone present that the fairy in the green dress was indeed the Empress, a Dao Integration Realm expert!

Even cultivators at the Returning Void Realm hold such reverence; only those at the Harmony Realm could achieve this.

However, there are only a handful of Dao Integration Realm experts within the Nine Provinces... Just who is this fairy in the green dress?

This question flashed through everyone's minds almost instantly.

"Look! Isn't this lotus the same as the blue lotus that Mu Zhian used before?!" Suddenly, someone pointed to the blue lotus that was slowly rising in mid-air.

All eyes turned to look, and the disciples of the forbidden area who had previously witnessed Mu Zhi'an release the Azure Lotus showed a change in their expressions.

"Could it be that Mu Zhian... has received the inheritance of the Fairy in the Green Skirt?" someone couldn't help but whisper.

The green lotus that Mu Zhian used to defeat Zhou Hao that day is almost identical to the green lotus that the fairy in the green dress is releasing now!

At this moment, the lotus emitted light, and the green light enveloped the entire mountain forest, causing many people to involuntarily submit and even want to kneel down.

The elders exchanged glances, then nodded slightly, and together raised their hands to resist the imposing presence.

Even so, these disciples of the forbidden zone still looked at the blue lotus with deep awe.

"How exactly does Mu Zhian manage to stand next to her without any restraint...?" Suddenly, a soft voice rang out from outside the silent mountain forest.

Thunder roared in the sky, but this time, no one answered him.

To this day, no one has figured out this problem.

Just standing there, they all felt an urge to submit to the fairy in the green dress, but Mu Zhian showed absolutely no fear when facing her.

Thinking about it carefully, Mu Zhian was not only kissed by the fairy in the green dress, but he even took the initiative to kiss her face later?

Beyond the silent mountains and forests, a thunder dragon roared as it emerged from the rolling clouds, its head as large as half the size of a forbidden zone.

It opened its mouth and roared at the composed fairy in the green dress on the ground, and then, amidst the flying lightning fragments, it fell swiftly!

The speed was so fast that no one could react in time. However, the lotus emitted a soft green light, enveloping the thunder dragon.

The next moment, the size of the thunder dragon seemed to shrink considerably under the light of the blue lotus.

The fairy in the green dress raised her fingertip and flicked out a bright green seed.

The seed grew wildly in the next moment, and countless vines burst forth, binding the thunder dragon's massive body.

The thunder dragon roared and struggled within the vines, scattering lightning fragments and blinding light shooting from its body, as if thousands of tons of molten lava were surging forth, seemingly about to melt the blue vines.

Steam flowed from the vines, but the vines showed no signs of breaking. Instead, the struggling thunder dragon was having its spiritual energy absorbed by the vines, and its body was shrinking.

This fairy in the green dress is terrifying! What exactly are those vines? They completely drained the spiritual energy of the thunder dragon...? Standing at a distance, Mu Zhian naturally felt the impact firsthand. Watching the thunder dragon's figure shrink continuously, he was filled with shock.

The devastating aura of the Thunder Dragon gradually dissipated as the tightly bound vines were drained of its spiritual energy, and the vines then untied themselves.

When it fell from mid-air, the thunder dragon was about half the size of the restricted area, but now that the vines have been untied, it is as thin as a small snake.

The thunder dragon, only as thick as a chopstick, quietly landed on the ground, then shrank to the size of a pill and floated lightly into the palm of the fairy in the green dress.

What should have been a terrifying tribulation ended silently under the seal of the Azure Lotus.

The Thunder Pill in the fairy's green dress was now filled with a chaotic aura and emitted a medicinal fragrance that drove people crazy.

"The Heaven-Mending Pill?!" An elder in the mountains almost blurted out, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

This elixir was not refined by the alchemist himself, but rather it was a elixir that could only be produced during a tribulation of lightning.

Its effects are so great that even cultivators at the Returning Void Realm find it hard to refuse, and they would even exchange it for any amount of pills.

However, upon seeing the fairy-like figure in the green dress, the elders gradually calmed down.

This Heaven-Mending Pill is extremely tempting, but... they also know that it is not something they can touch.

boom!

Amidst the swirling clouds of tribulation, a deafening thunderclap resounded throughout the forbidden zone, simultaneously announcing the end of this tribulation.

Within the Nine Provinces, several pairs of eyes that had been secretly watching the forbidden zone quietly withdrew at this moment.

On this day, the Azure Emperor reconstructed his immortal body, and the entire land trembled.

According to the historical records of the Eastern Continent, on the 18th day of the second month in the 473rd year of the Great Qian Dynasty, an unusual phenomenon appeared in the sky. In the depths of the forbidden zone, lightning filled the sky. The people of the Eastern Continent bowed and worshipped, praying for peace in the Eastern Continent. Countless cultivators bowed in respect.

Of course, historical records do not mention that the Empress kissed Mu Zhi'an in front of the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone.

Similarly, there is no record of the Empress being teased by a junior cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm.

……

"Is it over?" Mu Zhian looked up at the graceful figure of the fairy in the green dress and asked.

He felt that these words sounded a bit like setting a flag, but since the lightning tribulation had dissipated, it should be over by now.

"The physical tribulation is over." The fairy in the green dress played with the Heaven-Mending Pill in her hand, then glanced casually at Ye Lingxuan outside the mountains and forests.

The fairy in the green dress quickly returned her gaze to Mu Zhi'an and smiled brightly.

"However, the real trouble has only just begun."

She gazed into Mu Zhian's eyes and spoke softly.

Chapter 202 Those who cuckold others will always be cuckolded! (7,000 words)

Real trouble?

Mu Zhian gazed into the eyes of the fairy in the green dress, and when he noticed that her gaze was fixed on a certain direction, he turned his head to look in that direction as well.

That is...

The mountains and forests outside the Reincarnation Pool?

What are you doing staring at the outside of the reincarnation pool...?

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then his gaze froze on a certain spot.

Although his innate spiritual body is not as strong as Ye Lingxuan's, he still has an extremely keen perception of spiritual energy.

Now he could clearly sense that Ye Lingxuan's aura was not far from the Reincarnation Pool!

Speaking of which, the lightning tribulation that the fairy in the green dress just performed caused such a commotion that it was impossible for the people in the forbidden area not to notice it... So, they should be secretly observing this lightning tribulation nearby right now?

Mu Zhian seemed to have made a connection to something, and the calm smile on his face faltered slightly.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at the beautiful profile of the fairy in the green dress, and said, "Sister Lingxuan is here too...?"

“They were waiting outside during the tribulation.” The fairy in the green dress paused, glanced at Mu Zhi’an casually, and continued, “But I don’t know whether they saw anything or not.”

This statement is, of course, only partially true.

The fairy in the green dress couldn't possibly be unaware of whether others were spying on them.

This woman's appearance inspired awe, giving off an aura of purity like a lotus flower. However, she seemed to possess a touch of cunning, and was now deliberately 'frightening' Mu Zhi'an, refusing to reveal the truth.

Upon hearing the words of the fairy in the green dress, Mu Zhian's expression became somewhat strange.

If Ye Lingxuan was watching from outside the forest just now, it's safe to assume she witnessed something unpleasant.

At that moment, Mu Zhian felt a sudden realization.

No wonder the fairy in the green dress looked at him strangely when he kissed her delicate face.

At first, he thought that the empress was shy because she had never experienced matters of the heart, but now he thought that the fairy in the green dress must have known who was among those watching the tribulation outside the mountains.

This fairy was actually black when it was cut open... I deliberately didn't remind Mu Zhian, just to give him a surprise!

Once I obtain the Heavenly Phoenix Fruit, I'll show you what it means to suppress a Dao-merging being with a body refined from spirit...

Mu Zhian calmed himself down slightly, maintaining a 'calm' demeanor, and asked, "Does Fairy Sister still need to reside in my body, or is it no longer necessary?"

The fairy in the green dress smiled gently: "In your innate furnace, my spiritual consciousness can continue to be nurtured, which will be of great help in the upcoming tribulation of my primordial spirit."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, it cannot return to your body just yet."

"Does Fairy Sister have other things to take care of?" Mu Zhian asked.

The fairy in the green dress raised her eyebrows slightly, and the skin beneath the green dress emitted a faint silver glow, as if accompanied by the moonlight. She parted her red lips and said, "I have some things I want to say to your little girlfriend."

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then said, "What is it... Could you tell me a little?"

The fairy in the green dress glanced at Mu Zhi'an casually and said quietly, "Don't worry, I'm just having a chat with her and, incidentally, giving her a bit of immortal fortune."

If you go to her now to offer her a special gift, are you sure you're not just blatantly attacking her face?

Mu Zhian was about to speak to stop her, but the spotless fairy in the green dress had already walked lightly towards the exit of the mountain forest.

Under the pitch-black sky, that figure in blue still possessed an ethereal grace, making everything else pale in comparison.

"Let's go, what are you daydreaming about?" Her voice echoed through the mountains and forests, bringing Mu Zhian back to his senses.

Since things had come to this point, he couldn't very well try to stop them, so he had no choice but to follow them.

Let's see how things go first, and only speak up to stop it as a last resort... That's all we can do for now.

……

At this moment, outside the mountains and forests, all the disciples of the forbidden zone gazed with respect into the depths of the forest.

The tribulation had just ended when someone noticed the fairy in the green dress leaving the Reincarnation Pool.

Such beings naturally noticed that they were watching the tribulation outside long ago, but they simply didn't say anything.

"Elder, who do you think this fairy is?" A disciple suddenly asked the forbidden area elder beside him from the crowd.

There are only a handful of beings in the Dao Integration Realm across the Nine Provinces. In the present world, the Void Return Realm is already the pinnacle. Any higher realm cannot be reached through cultivation alone.

More importantly, it requires opportunity.

Now that a powerful expert at the Dao Integration Realm has appeared right in front of them, it's no wonder that they've attracted so much attention.

Clearly, this fairy must be one of the Dao-Merging powerhouses who existed in the world in the past.

At this moment, these disciples of the forbidden area were all secretly guessing the identity of the fairy in the green dress, but unfortunately, there was too little information about her, making it difficult to figure her out.

At this moment, an aged voice slowly rang out from outside the mountains and forests: "Legend has it that in the past, in the sacred land of Yaochi, there once appeared a fairy with unparalleled beauty. She was the most outstanding genius in the Nine Provinces, who created the Pure Lotus of Purification to suppress demons and monsters in the world."

"A thousand years ago, the demon realm of the Northern Continent was in chaos. The Demon Emperor led a group of demon cultivators and launched a large-scale invasion of the Eastern Continent... However, on the very first night after they entered the Eastern Continent, they mysteriously disappeared."

"Does the elder mean that the first Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm was suppressed by the Fairy of Yaochi?!" A disciple immediately realized what was happening and couldn't help but ask.

"The appearance of that fairy in the green dress just now is indeed the same as the fairy in the painting that I was fortunate enough to see in the past. And that fairy in the painting is the first Holy Maiden of Yaochi, the Azure Emperor," an elder said quietly.
