It turns out, they were the main characters.

"Aren't you afraid that he'll leave Sister Lingxuan later?" the fairy in the green dress asked.

The doll looked at Ye Lingxuan and said, "The Lock of Desolate Time has already locked onto him, so it's alright."

The Chains of Desolate Time: Once someone is marked by these chains, they will be brought back to the Eastern Continent, the Northern Continent, or even the more distant Western Regions.

Ye Lingxuan at this point certainly doesn't possess such extraordinary abilities.

But the future...

Why does their tone make it sound like the Lock of Time is some kind of ancient artifact with an extremely long range...? Mu Zhi'an listened to their conversation and, for some reason, felt something was off.

At this moment, the doll's gaze fell on Mu Zhian, and it continued, "If you don't want to accept it, you can refuse."

This treasure, formed over five thousand years, possesses a unique spiritual energy that would tempt anyone who heard of it.

only……

Judging from the other party's tone, this spiritual energy was intended to be stored in the innate furnace and returned to Ye Lingxuan in the future.

Mu Zhian wasn't quite sure why such a big fuss was necessary.

However, this spiritual energy would also be of great benefit if it were in his innate furnace.

The Natural Furnace was originally composed of spiritual energy, but Mu Zhian's various "adventures" continuously strengthened it, to the point that it has now undergone one evolution after another.

If he were to obtain the spiritual energy left behind by one of the nine reincarnations of the Empress, even if this spiritual energy were to be returned to Ye Lingxuan in the future, his innate furnace would still be further strengthened during this period.

Hmm... although this enhancement has absolutely nothing to do with Mu Zhian.

Happiness belongs to others; he has nothing.

The fairy in the green dress moved her small red lips slightly and transmitted her voice, "Accept it. This spiritual energy will be of great use to you in the future."

"If you can comprehend the Dao that the reincarnated empress comprehended in her previous life, you will find it much easier when you experience the Dao Enlightenment Realm in the future."

Mu Zhian could not gain any benefit from this spiritual energy in the innate furnace, but the great Dao contained within it was something he would need in the future.

“I do intend to accept,” Mu Zhian replied telepathically.

"Whether it's for me or for the fairy sister."

The fairy in the green dress was slightly taken aback. After exchanging a glance with Mu Zhian, she couldn't help but purse her lips slightly and softly hummed in agreement.

Ye Lingxuan glanced around and noticed Mu Zhian and the fairy in the green dress staring at each other. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

For some reason, she had a feeling that the two of them had been secretly communicating something with her.

This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhi'an, who was having a private conversation with the fairy in the green dress, felt quite gratified when he saw the slight ripple in the fairy's eyes.

See, this is what it means to wear down a stone with constant dripping and to nourish things silently.

This fairy was indeed high above, and a respected empress.

But if you're sincere, it's not impossible to pursue her.

At least that last sentence did seem to have stirred something in this reigning empress.

Just as Mu Zhian was thinking of this, he suddenly felt a cold touch on his wrist.

He glanced down instinctively and saw that the Lock of Desolation had quietly wrapped around one of his wrists.

"..."

After a brief silence, Mu Zhian suppressed his inner thoughts, pretended to be indifferent, turned his head to look at the 'doll', and said, "Senior, I am willing to accept the spiritual energy you have given me."

"Whether it's for me, or for..."

Mu Zhian remained silent, only glancing at Ye Lingxuan in silence.

With just a glance, one can clearly feel the deep affection and tenderness contained within.

Ye Lingxuan recoiled as if struck by lightning, lowered her head, and gently raised her delicate hand.

The Lock of Desolate Time, which was wrapped around Mu Zhian's right hand and seemed to be stirring restlessly, quietly returned to Ye Lingxuan's sleeve.

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu. The Lock of Desolate Time has only been with its master for one day, and it seems a little difficult to control. It wasn't that I had any ideas just now..." Ye Lingxuan apologized softly.

I understand, I understand. What bad intentions could Lingxuan possibly have? She's just a good sister who cares about her brother...

Mu Zhian gently shook his head and smiled, "I know, it's all a problem with the Lock of Desolate Time. Sister Lingxuan is fine."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the puppet and asked, "Senior, when will the inheritance ceremony begin?"

"We can begin immediately," the puppet replied.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Lingxuan and asked, "Sister Lingxuan, are you also starting the inheritance ceremony now?"

The doll nodded again.

Ye Lingxuan suddenly looked at the doll and said, "Brother Mu, when you are about to leave the ancestral land, could you please wake me up?"

“I plan to send him away from his ancestral homeland when the time comes.”

The doll was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Although this would delay the inheritance process, she naturally wouldn't disobey her master's orders.

The delay will not affect the integrity of the inheritance, so it doesn't matter.

The fairy in the green dress watched the two of them without disturbing them, and stood not far away, quietly observing the scene.

Her demeanor remained calm and composed, every movement exuding elegance, possessing a unique charm reminiscent of a mysterious older sister.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

It only took Mu Zhian three days to receive the inheritance.

Ultimately, what he received was not a true inheritance, but merely the preservation of a wisp of spiritual energy within his innate furnace.

As the spiritual energy of one of the reincarnated empresses entered Mu Zhi'an's innate furnace, Mu Zhi'an immediately felt an indescribable Daoist charm swirling around his body.

This is the 'Dao' of the reincarnated empress's previous life, and after this spiritual energy entered Mu Zhi'an's body, Mu Zhi'an could also feel this Dao.

Sure enough, following the protagonist means you get to enjoy the soup... Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes, feeling the spiritual energy containing the Daoist principles within the innate furnace, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ye Lingxuan, who was beside him, also slowly opened her eyes.

She was awakened by the doll.

"Brother Mu," Ye Lingxuan called out in a clear, sweet voice.

Mu Zhian turned his head and saw Ye Lingxuan standing up, her hands on her skirt, and walking gracefully toward him.

"If you encounter any danger after you go to Yaochi, remember to prioritize your own safety," Ye Lingxuan said softly.

Mu Zhian smiled gently: "Don't worry, I know."

It's very heartwarming to be cared for like this.

"And don't you believe in my abilities?" Mu Zhian continued.

Ye Lingxuan nodded slightly and smiled gently, "I believe in Brother Mu's abilities."

Then, he glanced casually at the fairy in the green dress not far away.

She was standing not far away, calmly watching them.

Looking at the graceful figure of the fairy in the green dress, Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but recall the events that day in front of the Reincarnation Pool.

Her gaze returned to Mu Zhi'an, her eyes flickering slightly, before she gently pressed one hand against the back of Mu Zhi'an's head.

Just like the fairy in the green dress did last time, she leaned forward slightly and gently pressed her soft cherry lips against Mu Zhian's lips.

The cool, soft touch startled Mu Zhian for a moment, until he saw Ye Lingxuan's shy eyes shimmering slightly from the action. His heart stirred, and he returned Ye Lingxuan's kiss.

Although Ye Lingxuan didn't wear any rouge, she was still Ye Lingxuan after all. Even without any makeup, her kisses were still irresistibly delicious.

The fairy in the green dress stood not far away, silently gazing at this scene.

After an unknown amount of time, their lips parted.

Ye Lingxuan gently exhaled a sweet and soft fragrance from her small mouth.

In this way, the scent that the Azure Emperor left on Brother Mu last time became hers.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingxuan glanced at the fairy in the green dress in the distance. Although she felt extremely ashamed and her pretty face was flushed, there was still a competitive desire in the girl's eyes.

She released her arms from Mu Zhian's neck, took two steps back, turned her head slightly to look at the fairy in the green dress, and smiled, "I'll leave the rest to you, fairy sister."

"Do not worry."

At that moment, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music floated lightly across the ancestral land.

The fairy in the green dress had her jade feet half-suspended on the ground, like a rare piece of white jade, warm and smooth, cool to the touch and beautiful.

She brushed the strands of hair from her forehead with her slender fingers and gazed tenderly at Ye Lingxuan.

"After we go to Yaochi, I will take good care of your Daoist partner."

After the fairy in the green dress returned to her innate furnace, Mu Zhian also prepared to leave the ancestral land.

Ye Lingxuan was a reserved and elegant girl. Although she was reluctant to part, she did not show it too obviously. She only looked away after watching Mu Zhian leave and continued to receive the nine-life inheritance of the reincarnated empress.

She isn't particularly strong right now, despite her exceptional talent. However, the other girls she knows are all equally talented.

Bai Ruoxi and Wei Mengrou had already reached the Refining Spirit Realm long ago, and Senior Sister Lan even stepped into the Returning to Emptiness Realm some time ago.

Only by accepting this opportunity to pass on her skills can she have a voice among these girls in the future.

Moreover, the Lock of Desolate Time is determined by the master's realm. It is the ancestral artifact of the forbidden zone, but from the past to the present, no one has ever actually unleashed its true power.

Because this ancestral artifact is the weapon of the reincarnated empress, only its true master can unleash its true power.

As her cultivation level increases in the future, the power that the Lock of Desolate Time can unleash will become greater. Even if Mu Zhian is not in the Eastern Continent, Ye Lingxuan will still be able to use the Lock of Desolate Time to bring him back to her side in the future.

Just as Ye Lingxuan closed her eyes to officially begin the inheritance of the Reincarnated Empress, on the other side, Mu Zhian had just left the ancestral land.

Only now did he realize that it was that 'puppet' that had sent them to the deepest part of the ancestral land, and now that he had walked out of that area, what came into view was a vast area.

In this area, Mu Zhian saw many familiar faces, all of whom were disciples of the forbidden zone.
