It turns out, they were the main characters.

As Bai Ruoxi spoke, her eyes softened, and she said, "You are much more outstanding than I imagined."

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "After you returned, where did Ruoxi go?"

Bai Ruoxi lightly touched her snow-white chest with her slender fingertips, tilted her head slightly and smiled, "Here."

"She can now hear our conversations too."

"Similarly, I will be able to hear your conversations with her in the future."

Does that mean one body with two souls...? Mu Zhian understood slightly in her heart.

Then, a strange feeling crept into my mind.

Judging from this, the "female lead" positioning in the personal interface is indeed correct. It seems that everyone he knows has a "golden finger," and even Bai Ruoxi is the same.

"Senior, aren't you worried that I might not get the three bronze fragments, or that I might not come to the Sword Palace?" Mu Zhi'an suddenly asked.

If he hadn't gone to the Sword Palace with Bai Ruoxi, or if he hadn't been able to snatch the first bronze fragment before Ye Yu, none of this would have happened today.

Could it be that the Palace Master of the Sword Palace had already deduced the secrets of heaven and foreseen this step before that?

"I knew you would come." The Palace Master of the Sword Palace revealed an extremely beautiful smile, playing with the love lock that had somehow appeared from her sleeve.

“I made a promise with someone in the past. She swore by the Great Dao that after I slayed the Heavenly Dao, she would let me reappear in the human world as a human.”

"Someone...? When did this happen?" Mu Zhian asked.

The Palace Master of the Sword Palace pondered for a moment and said, "Ten thousand years ago, I suppose."

a thousand years……?

Mu Zhian looked at the Sword Palace Master's white and black dress and her graceful figure clinging to the fabric. He smiled without saying a word, but in his heart he thought: Is the Sword Palace Master really not being fooled by someone?

Ten thousand years have passed, and the world has changed so much. Who can know what will happen ten thousand years from now?

Ultimately, if he hadn't happened to obtain the bronze fragment from Regina, he wouldn't have been able to awaken the Sword Palace Master's spiritual consciousness, let alone slay the last wisp of Heavenly Dao remnant soul and achieve the Sword Palace Master's human form.

"What are you thinking about?" The Palace Master of the Sword Palace looked at Mu Zhi'an with a smile in his eyes.

She possessed Bai Ruoxi's memories and naturally felt quite fond of the young man before her. Moreover, it was thanks to him that she was able to pull out the sword and break free from the restraints of the third bronze fragment, allowing her spiritual consciousness to be pieced together completely.

"I was just wondering who made the promise to you... If I hadn't happened to be at the Sword Palace this time, I don't know when that person would have been able to fulfill the promise," Mu Zhian said tactfully.

What are you talking about?

The Sword Palace Master smiled gently: "Hasn't she already fulfilled her promise to me? Right now."

But didn't I just happen to come to the Sword Palace?

Just as Mu Zhian thought of this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and froze for a moment.

His smile faded little by little until it finally froze.

He suddenly thought of something.

The second bronze fragment was obtained from Regina.

Regina, on the other hand, traveled a great distance from the Southern Wilderness to the Eastern Continent.

...What was her purpose?

—The Ascension Ceremony.

Then the problem is coming.

Why did the Southern Wilderness allow Regina to participate in the Ascension Ceremony?

—Someone in the Southern Wilderness mentioned the bet, and later Shang Yanfei accepted it.

Because Regina is the most talented genius in the Southern Wilderness, the Southern Wilderness is determined to obtain the Emperor-level medicinal herbs at the Ascension Conference and also wants to get revenge, so they will definitely send Regina.

After that, when she arrived at the Liangyi Sect, Regina's soul-reading physique would naturally allow her to perceive the innate furnace, and she would also know that there was reincarnated spiritual energy in the innate furnace that could strengthen her physique.

But this raises a question.

Whether or not the innate furnace cauldron will be exposed under the same cultivation level depends on whether Mu Zhian wants to deliberately reveal it.

"..."

Despite the pleasant environment and gentle breeze, Mu Zhian slowly shivered.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ruoxi tilted her head slightly and asked, playing with the love lock in her hand.

Mu Zhian stared blankly at Bai Ruoxi, and asked in a strained voice:

"The person who made a promise with you ten thousand years ago... is it Sect Master Shang Yanfei?"

Chapter 246 One Body, Two Souls, Bai Ruoxi! 4K

It was an absurd guess, but Mu Zhian now had to believe it was true.

Because, judging from his past and present behavior, some of his connections with immortals do indeed have the shadow of that sect leader sister behind them.

Even this chance encounter with the immortals is no exception.

But what exactly does that sect leader sister want? Is she secretly in love with me... Mu Zhian thought to himself.

Meanwhile, after hearing Mu Zhian's question, the Palace Master of the Sword Palace narrowed her beautiful eyes and then smiled faintly, "I have an agreement with her that I cannot give any hints about revealing her identity."

That's what they say, but it must be the sect leader... Looking at the Sword Palace Master's beautiful smile, Mu Zhi'an already had this guess in his heart.

But since the other party had said so, he naturally wouldn't ask any more questions and instead began to observe the beautiful woman's clothes and appearance.

Although she resembled Bai Ruoxi, her temperament was completely different. She wore a black and white dress with a plum-colored jacket over it, and the skirt reached slightly to her knees. Her carefully styled hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, which was adorned with a blood-red spirit stone.

A necklace inlaid with emerald-colored gemstones hung around her jade neck.

If we were to say what the Sword Palace Master and Bai Ruoxi have in common, it would probably be their equally elegant demeanor, their beautiful and charming temperament, and their voluptuous and alluring figure.

However, Bai Ruoxi wouldn't look at people with such a nonchalant, superior gaze, after all, she was a delicate young lady.

"After the three bronze fragments came together, they seemed to disappear...?" Mu Zhian suddenly noticed this small detail.

No wonder I felt something was off when I looked at the Sword Palace Master's full breasts. The bronze fragments that should have been hanging on her chest were gone.

“Like Ruoxi, it is now hidden within the body,” the Sword Palace Master replied.

I know you have a lot of breasts and can hold a lot of things, but to be able to store Ruoxi and the bronze sword inside your body is a bit too exaggerated... Mu Zhian asked again:

"Why was I able to draw that sword just now? And what is this so-called cause and effect?"

"You obtained the first bronze fragment, and after that, you became Daoist partners with my other self, who was the sword sheath. This has already destined you to find the third bronze fragment in the future. This is cause and effect," said the Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

“If you and she were not in a Daoist relationship, you would not have been able to draw that sword today.”

"If that's the case, you would probably have been dealt with by the remnant soul of the Heavenly Dao before my spiritual consciousness returned today."

In other words, my LSP actually saved my life... Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.

If he hadn't pursued Bai Ruoxi in Tianxuan City, and hadn't had this karmic connection, he might have been killed by the remnant soul of the Heavenly Dao before the true Sword Palace Master even awoke.

The first few cultivators to perish were like that.

"Is that remnant soul of the Heavenly Dao also yourself?" Mu Zhian asked.

“That wisp of remnant soul is me from the past when I resonated with the Heavenly Dao, and it has just completely merged with me,” the Sword Palace Master replied.

“In the future, when Bai Ruoxi cultivates to the Enlightenment Realm and comprehends the ‘Human Way,’ I will be able to return to the Dao Realm.”

In other words, because something went wrong with the 'Heavenly Dao', the Sword Palace Master severed his past self and prepared to reunite with 'humanity'.

And Bai Ruoxi was making preparations for 'humanity'... At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly realized.

"Is Bai Ruoxi the same person as you?" Mu Zhian asked a question that he was quite concerned about.

"She and I have two different personalities. The sword sheath is her dominant spiritual consciousness, while I am her second spiritual consciousness."

"Any other questions?" The Sword Palace Master's voice was full of gentleness, just like Bai Ruoxi in the past, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, which made Mu Zhian feel strange.

Logically speaking, this was the first time he had interacted with the Palace Master of the Sword Palace, but the other party's attitude at this moment made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Do you really possess all of Ruoxi's memories?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

“What I possess is her life story, and what happened between you,” said the Sword Palace Master.

Having answered all his questions, Mu Zhian fell silent and stopped asking.

At this moment, the Palace Master of the Sword Palace changed his tone and said softly, "If you have no questions, I also have some things I would like to ask you."

For some reason, looking at the gentle smile on the face of this beautiful and refined woman, Mu Zhian had a vague sense of unease.

The Sword Palace Master narrowed her beautiful eyes: "I possess most of her memories, and therefore I also know some of the things that have happened around you. After this, I may need to remain in my sword sheath for a while longer, waiting for her to awaken when she has comprehended a wisp of the Dao."

"Therefore, before that, I have some personal issues that I would like to discuss with you further."

"Please speak, Palace Master. This junior is all listening." Mu Zhian straightened his posture, looking gentle and obedient.

"I have no idea what has happened between you and the women around you, nor am I interested in knowing."

The Palace Master of the Sword Palace smiled brightly and said softly, "However, once you are with me in the future, you must not get close to other women. If I find that you have many Daoist partners by your side after I wake up, it will put me in a difficult position."

Clearly, the Sword Palace Master had no objection to Bai Ruoxi's choice of Daoist partner; after all, they were the same person.

However, compared to Bai Ruoxi, the Sword Palace Master, as the only Sword Emperor in the Nine Provinces, is obviously more powerful and seems to have a considerable possessiveness.

The Sword Palace Master is a great beauty, but why does she seem to have a slightly yandere tendency...? Mu Zhi'an coughed, then gently grasped the Sword Palace Master's soft hand, gazing tenderly at her, and said, "Ruo Xi..."

Mu Zhian gently shook his head: "No, whether you are Ruoxi or the Palace Master, my feelings for you are genuine."

He let the love lock silently wrap around his wrist, gazing tenderly at the exquisite and beautiful face of the Sword Palace Master, and said, "I know very well what to do."

The Sword Palace Master smiled faintly and said, "There is a first-grade cultivation technique that I created myself in the Sword Palace. I need to go into seclusion for a few days afterward. You can stay in the Sword Palace to comprehend the technique for now. I will transfer the authority of the Sword Palace to you."

Does that mean I can possess all those spirit mines outside, and even everything in the Sword Palace...?

Is this wealthy, mature woman planning to take me on as a sugar daddy...? Mu Zhi'an's heart skipped a beat, but she remained outwardly reserved: "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Besides, there are other cultivators in this Sword Palace also searching for their immortal destiny..."

"You can decide how to use it yourself; there's no need to consult me ​​again," said the Palace Master of the Sword Palace.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Alright... since the Palace Master has said so, then I shall respectfully comply."

After exchanging a few more words, Mu Zhian suddenly asked, "Can Ruoxi hear our conversation now?"

The Sword Palace Master was clearly just a spirit, yet when she was in control, the appearance she presented was her own, not Bai Ruoxi's. Even now, Mu Zhian still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

The Sword Palace Master nodded coldly.
