It turns out, they were the main characters.

Boom!

The main hall completely collapsed, turning into a void. Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator at the Refining Spirit Realm, so they immediately activated their flying swords and flew into the air.

Mu Zhian nearly fell from mid-air, but fortunately he managed to grab Wei Mengrou's voluptuous waist in time.

He immediately looked down at the bottomless darkness beneath his feet and sighed with relief, "That was close."

Wei Mengrou glanced at him coldly and said, "Can't you also fly on a sword?"

"I used up too much spiritual energy just now," Mu Zhian explained.

Despite her deep skepticism about her young master's words, Wei Mengrou had no time to concern herself with such a trivial matter.

Because she could sense that in this completely empty space, a figure was rapidly rushing towards this direction.

Mu Zhian naturally noticed the figure and looked up.

At the edge of the field of vision appeared a woman dressed in a pure white white dress. Her skirt fluttered, and the dress covered her graceful figure. Just a moment ago she was still far away, but the next moment, the woman had already appeared in the field of vision.

Her long, flowing hair was simply tied up with a hairpin, and her stunningly beautiful face exuded a cool and aloof air. Her skin was snow-white, and her demeanor was noble.

However, what truly attracted Mu Zhian was her enormous breasts, comparable to Bai Ruoxi's.

At first glance, it gives one a sense of mystery, as if one is about to be sucked into its 'unfathomable' depths.

After taking one look, Mu Zhian's first thought was how big and white it was. But when he took a second look, he was suddenly stunned.

Holy crap, isn't that my wife?

But why does it feel like there's a different vibe?

The woman in front of him was Bai Ruoxi. However, her appearance and clothing were different from before. But just by looking at her lewd breasts, Mu Zhian recognized her identity almost immediately.

There is absolutely no mistake, this woman is Bai Ruoxi!

Looking at this stunningly beautiful woman, Mu Zhian quickly thought of something and subconsciously glanced at the Sword Palace Master standing not far in front of him.

He hadn't noticed it before, because the Sword Palace Master's aura made people reluctant to look up at him easily. However, after careful observation and comparison, a thought suddenly flashed through Mu Zhi'an's mind.

There are two Sword Palace Masters...?

At that moment, countless question marks flashed through Mu Zhian's mind.

The 'Bai Ruoxi' who just arrived looks exactly like the Sword Palace Master who was initially frozen in this hall!

Then, on second thought: This... isn't this just double the happiness?

The two people in front of him were almost identical in appearance, temperament, and even looks, except for their different clothes. If they appeared in front of Mu Zhian at different times, he would not even be able to tell them apart.

At this moment, not only Mu Zhian, but also the other cultivators beside him were filled with disbelief.

There may be two people in this world who look alike, but it's very rare for them to look exactly alike...

Moreover, this person is the Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

“Your mission is over.” Gazing at the Sword Palace Master, who was dressed in a dark black dress, Bai Ruoxi said calmly.

“Severing the Heavenly Dao will not only kill me… but you will die too.” The Sword Palace Master stared at Bai Ruoxi expressionlessly.

However, Bai Ruoxi pursed her full lips slightly, which then formed an extremely beautiful curve.

"Who told you that I absolutely need the Heavenly Dao to achieve enlightenment?"

Between her snow-white cleavage, an ancient bronze sword silently appeared before her.

Bai Ruoxi grasped the sword hilt, and the ancient bronze sword emitted an aura that made all the cultivators present tremble almost instantly.

Mu Zhian was equally startled and instinctively hugged Wei Mengrou's plump waist tightly, feeling a tremor from the bottom of his heart.

The aura emanating from this bronze sword was far stronger than that of the one Bai Ruoxi used in Tianxuan City... He even felt an urge to pay homage to it just by looking at it.

Looking at the other cultivators at the Refining Spirit Realm, they were completely unable to resist the pressure. Even though they tried their best to resist, they still knelt on one knee on the sword, supporting themselves with their hands on the sword, not daring to look up at this scene.

They didn't even understand why there were two Sword Palace Masters now, they just trembled instinctively.

For the first time, a hint of surprise flickered in the Sword Palace Master's usually calm eyes. He looked up at Bai Ruoxi and said in a cold voice, "Humanity...?"

"How is that possible? You have already achieved Dao unity with me, how could you possibly achieve Dao unity again?"

"The rules of heaven and earth have never said that a Dao Integration Realm cultivator can only achieve Dao Integration once in their lifetime." Bai Ruoxi, seemingly possessed by some kind of being, revealed a faint smile and brandished the ancient bronze sword in her hand.

hum!

The ancient bronze sword trembled slightly, then emitted a piercing buzzing sound.

boom!

Bai Ruoxi's simple and unadorned sword strike transformed into golden light, directly enveloping the Sword Palace Master.

The Sword Palace Master, who had just been as emotionless as a god of death, never resisted. Instead, he stared at Bai Ruoxi in disbelief under the terrifying pressure of spiritual energy and whispered, "So that's how it is... Is this the reason you wanted to perish together with me back then?"

There are countless speculations about the death of the Sword Palace Master. Some believe that she was killed by a mysterious and ominous attack, while others think that she could not overcome her inner demons when creating her own cultivation technique and eventually passed away in the Sword Palace. Therefore, there was no trace of her mysterious disappearance.

Some believe that she died in the upheaval of heaven and earth, and was punished by the 'rules of heaven and earth', which is why she disappeared from the world.

But in reality, the Sword Palace Master did not die; he simply killed his past self who resonated with the 'Heavenly Dao'.

Before she died, she created a scabbard... to complete her rebirth.

And that 'scabbard' belongs to Bai Ruoxi.

As Bai Ruoxi's sword struck down, the Sword Palace Master's body transformed into a wisp of deep, dark spiritual energy. Then, that wisp of dark spiritual energy quietly entered Bai Ruoxi's body, or rather, the body of the true Sword Palace Master.

The white palace dress was silently stained with a dark pattern, giving the originally pure and beautiful woman an added touch of alluring charm.

On the ancient bronze sword, there seemed to be an additional dark pattern, giving it a sense of historical weight.

This scene happened so suddenly that no one present could react.

Ultimately, the reason why there are two Sword Palace Masters remains a mystery to this day.

However, soon, apart from their confusion, everyone looked at the Sword Palace Master with a more fervent gaze.

Without a doubt, this empress is the true master of the Sword Palace!

Everyone present was a cultivator with exceptional sword talent, and the sword strike that the Sword Palace Master had just executed, returning to its original simplicity, was something only the Sword Palace Master could achieve in this world.

Add to that the ancient bronze sword in her hand... these few things are enough to confirm that this woman is the Palace Master of the Sword Palace, the only Sword Emperor in the world!

She wasn't dead; she was actually standing right in front of them, alive and well!

The Palace Master of the Sword Palace slightly turned her head to look at the group of people not far away. Her gaze swept over them one by one, then lingered on Mu Zhian for a moment, before glancing at Wei Mengrou unintentionally.

"Are you all newcomers?" She looked around at the crowd, her beautiful eyes reflecting the figures of the cultivators before her.

A young cultivator immediately clasped his hands respectfully and said, "The Sword Palace reappeared in the world a few days ago. I have always longed for the name of the Sword Emperor. This time, I came with this mindset to explore the Sword Palace and confirm whether the senior is still alive."

They make it sound so nice, but in reality, they're just after the Sword Palace's techniques.

The Sword Palace Master was naturally aware of this, but he didn't mind. His melodious voice rang in everyone's ears: "The Sword Palace will collapse in a while, and among it are the cultivation techniques I left behind. As for whether you can obtain them... that depends on your own fate."

The group exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of joy in the other's eyes.

Not only did they meet the true master of the Sword Palace, but this powerful being even intended to personally bestow upon them a destiny of immortality... Such a fact naturally brought them great joy.

The Sword Palace Master gently raised his fingertip, and the previously empty space quietly returned to the dimly lit hall.

Everyone who had been present had quietly disappeared from the hall, leaving only a voice echoing in their ears: "Go."

As Mu Zhian watched the group disappear from sight, he wanted to jokingly say something like, "Wife, aren't you going to give me some immortal destiny?"

However, considering that the other party was not the real Bai Ruoxi at the moment, she suppressed her inner complaints and instead secretly observed the stunning beauty in front of her.

It has to be said that compared to Bai Ruoxi, her temperament is completely opposite. If Bai Ruoxi is more like a pure, gentle, and innocent young lady, then this Palace Master of the Sword Palace is more mysterious and noble, and seems to have a bit of a cunning side.

As if sensing Mu Zhian's gaze, the Sword Palace Master's eyes also fell on Mu Zhian.

Those beautiful eyes, which seemed somewhat cold, seemed to reveal a hint of tenderness.

The two remained silent for a moment before Mu Zhian had no choice but to speak up: "Should I address you as Ruoxi, or as the Palace Master of the Sword Palace?"

"You can call me whatever you like." Bai Ruoxi's red lips parted slightly, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Bai Ruoxi is the Palace Master of the Sword Palace...?" After a brief silence, Mu Zhian finally asked the question that concerned him the most.

"She is the scabbard I left in the mortal world, and also the one who will dominate in the future."

Bai Ruoxi casually glanced around and smiled, "I know you have a lot of questions, but this isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

She glanced at Wei Mengrou, who remained silent, and then snapped her fingers.

The surrounding environment changed from a dimly lit hall to a spacious meadow. Bai Ruoxi sat at a stone table carved from white jade, then poured a cup of tea for Mu Zhian and pushed it in front of him.

Mu Zhian raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, who was pressing her full and firm breasts against the table and gazing at him intently.

She was indeed different from Ruoxi; her desire to attack seemed stronger... Mu Zhian calmly took a sip of tea, then asked, "...What did you mean by the sword sheath you just mentioned?"

"Bai Ruoxi is someone I left behind from my past resonance with humanity. To put it bluntly, she is the scabbard, and I am the sword."

Bai Ruoxi's lips curved into a slight smile as she said, "As for the reason... it's related to the Heavenly Dao."

"The Way of Heaven...?" Mu Zhian had heard the term "The Way of Heaven" more than once, but he was still full of questions at this moment, so he patiently listened to Bai Ruoxi continue.

As Bai Ruoxi explained, Mu Zhian finally understood.

The Sword Palace Master was unparalleled in the world. People had all sorts of speculations about her death. Many thought she was attacked by a mysterious person or even passed away in the Sword Palace.

But in reality, the Sword Palace Master did not die; rather, he was reborn in another form.

The Realm of Harmony with the Dao is the state of merging with one of the three Daos: Heaven, Earth, or Humanity.

When the Sword Palace Master comprehended the Heavenly Dao, he resonated with it at the Dao Integration Realm and became the Sword Emperor of the Nine Provinces.

However, after that, for some unknown reason, the Palace Master of the Sword Palace severed his own understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and at the same time severed himself who resonated with the Heavenly Dao.

The Sword Palace Master who was just frozen was a wisp of remnant soul left behind by the Sword Palace Master who resonated with the Heavenly Dao, or perhaps it should be said to be a 'remnant soul of the will of the Heavenly Dao'.

“I remember reading in ancient books that the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man are not distinguished by strength or weakness, so why do you want to sever the Heavenly Path?” Mu Zhi’an asked.

Bai Ruoxi shook her head and said, "There are some problems with the Heavenly Dao. Those who choose the Heavenly Dao will either have to obey it, or they will have to be able to transcend it, or they will have to reunite with the Dao."

The Sword Palace Master was peerless in his elegance, capable of slaying the Heavenly Dao, and even slaying himself...

Ultimately, she took a different path, aligning herself with the way of 'humanity'.

Bai Ruoxi was the answer she gave.

“I hid my spiritual consciousness in three bronze fragments, each containing only one-third of my spiritual consciousness. The remnant soul of the Heavenly Dao's will just now probably wanted to eliminate one of the fragments of spiritual consciousness first, but she didn't expect that the other two bronze fragments had already been collected.”
