It turns out, they were the main characters.

Clang!

Just then, a golden light suddenly appeared in the distance, drawing everyone's attention involuntarily.

Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, where he saw two cultivators locked in fierce combat in mid-air.

One of them was Bai Ruoxi.

She wore a flowing white dress, and three golden lightsabers unfurled behind her, one of which hurtled toward Wang Teng.

Wang Teng, who was fighting against him, snorted coldly, and a golden Dharma image quietly bloomed behind him.

"Miss Bai, you'd better show me your true skills. Your lightsabers are troublesome, but three are probably far from enough. If you had more than ten, they could cause me some trouble."

Wang Teng unleashed a powerful punch!

A murmur of surprise rippled through the cultivators below, who all looked at Wang Teng with a mixture of awe and admiration.

"Wang Teng truly possesses the aura of a Daoist master; his presence has completely overwhelmed Bai Ruoxi."

“The Wang family of Dongzhou once produced a Dao Integration Realm cultivator. The Wang family’s unique skills are even more remarkable, far beyond what a cultivator from an ordinary background can compare to.”

"But this female cultivator's appearance is truly top-notch..." one cultivator exclaimed sincerely.

"Is Brother Mu worried about Sister Ruoxi?" Ye Lingxuan asked, turning her head.

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "She's not serious yet."

The Sword Palace Master can summon over a hundred lightsabers. Bai Ruoxi can summon at least a few dozen, if not a hundred.

The Sword Palace's techniques become increasingly powerful as the battle progresses, and Bai Ruoxi's current state is not even a warm-up.

As expected, after hearing Wang Teng's sarcasm, Bai Ruoxi gave Wang Teng a cold look, her eyes filled with a deep, unfathomable gaze.

Then, she nodded gently: "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, a milky white light emanated from her chest. She raised her hand and drew a dark gold sword with a black base and gold patterns from her chest, and slashed out with it!

One of the remaining two lightsabers behind them disappeared again.

The Dharma Image behind Wang Teng stepped forward half a step and raised its hand to block the sword!

boom!

The ground trembled, but he showed no sign of backing down, laughing heartily, "That was great! Let's go again!"

Bai Ruoxi remained expressionless and unleashed another sword strike.

The three beams of light behind her also completely disappeared.

Wang Teng remained expressionless.

This scene moved many cultivators.

"He's planning to use his own Dharma form to directly confront Bai Ruoxi's cultivation technique, thus shaking her resolve..."

"Wang Teng is already at the peak of the sixth rank of Refining Spirit. He wants to use Bai Ruoxi's offensive to break through his own limits!" Someone saw through Wang Teng's intentions and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

To achieve a breakthrough by relying on someone else's offensive requires an immense amount of self-confidence!

Many cultivators secretly gasped and turned their gazes in that direction.

Bai Ruoxi had summoned the fourth lightsaber again, but Wang Teng's expression remained unchanged, only a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Again!" he laughed heartily.

Bai Ruoxi remained expressionless, and nine more light swords appeared behind her.

Her white dress seemed to be tinged with a pale golden luster as she raised her sword and swung it out once more!

The tenth sword!

"Miss Bai, this is probably your limit. I have to thank you. After this sword strike, I'm afraid I'll be able to break through smoothly after this martial arts world ends!" Wang Teng's eyes were like torches, filled with intense fighting spirit.

Then, before his confident smile could fully appear, he saw Bai Ruoxi silently raise her hand.

In an instant, her back was as bright as day!

A full sixty lightsabers appeared behind Bai Ruoxi!

The smile on Wang Teng's face suddenly froze.

Mu Zhian silently covered his face.

He was starting to lose his composure.

He knew Bai Ruoxi's current strength better than anyone else. After inheriting the Sword Palace's legacy that day, she could now summon up to seventy light swords, each one slightly more powerful than the last.

Wang Teng is indeed a genius, but he is still far inferior to the 'protagonist of destiny' in this world.

"The Sword Palace's heritage is indeed remarkable. If they could unleash a hundred lightsabers, even my sister would probably find it troublesome, right?" Lan Feiying said softly as she watched this scene.

Lan Mulian gazed silently, without saying a word.

Ye Lingxuan secretly wondered if she could rely on the Lock of Desolate Time to completely resist Bai Ruoxi's offensive.

boom!

Almost without any surprises, as Bai Ruoxi's sword fell again, this pride of the Wang family gradually could not withstand it. With a roar, he abandoned his defense and made a desperate attempt, rushing towards Bai Ruoxi's direction!

However, Bai Ruoxi's attack was simple and unadorned. She simply raised her hand again, and another light sword slashed out from behind her!

This sword strike seemed to illuminate the darkness, flashing past the cultivators' eyes, causing many to squint.

When their vision returned to normal, they saw a faint white light emanating from Wang Teng's body.

Wang Teng was defeated, and as a result, the teleportation jade slip was activated!

Many people stared in surprise at the woman in the white dress who was gracefully walking towards Mu Zhi'an, their eyes filled with a hint of apprehension.

Even the pride of the Eastern Continent royal family was no match for her. After this battle, they all had a rough idea of ​​just how troublesome Bai Ruoxi was.

While everyone was still in a state of shock and uncertainty, Mu Zhian was also somewhat surprised.

Although he had long known that Bai Ruoxi was no longer the same person she used to be, he never had a concrete idea of ​​what she was like.

However, judging from today's performance... if she were to win the final match, he really wouldn't be confident of winning.

Moreover, what's more important now isn't the Ascension Ceremony, but how to handle the current situation... Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi, who was gracefully approaching, and at her full breasts that were still snow-white and dazzling even in the darkness, his eyes filled with conflict.

"Should I save this now, so I won't get locked up in a dark room when I get back?" he thought to himself.

Lan Mulian looked at Bai Ruoxi, who was dressed in a white palace dress and had a delicate temperament, and smiled, "Your strength has improved a lot compared to the past. It seems that you should be able to refine your spirit and return to the void soon."

Bai Ruoxi smiled faintly and shook her head, saying, "I'm still far inferior to my senior sister."

Then, under the gazes of the others, she looked at Mu Zhi'an with gentle eyes and said, "Mu Lang, are you alright? That was too risky. What if something had really happened to you during the tribulation?"

Ruoxi is so good, she knows how to care for her Mu Lang... Mu Zhian felt a warmth in his heart: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The situation was urgent just now, there was nothing we could do."

Bai Ruoxi smiled gently: "It's good that you're alright. If there were any health problems, it would be really difficult to handle."

A silver chain seemed to slip from her fair wrist through her snow-white sleeve, gleaming with a dangerous glint.

The meaning behind the words is quite clear.

Knowing you're alright, I can go back and punish you without worry.

When Mu Zhian saw Bai Ruoxi's gentle and sweet smile, he felt a strange chill in his heart.

At this moment, Ye Qian suddenly looked at the sphere emitting a mysterious black light in Wei Mengrou's hand and asked, "Sister Mengrou, is that the Heavenly Dao Qi in your hand?"

Only then did the others' attention become drawn to the Heavenly Dao Qi in Wei Mengrou's hand.

Unlike other celestial energies, it was emitting a dark halo at this moment.

Unlike the Heavenly Dao Qi of the past, which emitted a soft glow, this Heavenly Dao Qi before us seems more mysterious and unknown.

Upon hearing Ye Qian's words, Ye Lingxuan also noticed the strangeness. She gently stroked the Lock of Desolate Time in her sleeve and said softly, "Speaking of which, I have never seen the color of Heavenly Dao Qi to be black."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a similar aura of the Heavenly Dao appeared in her palm.

This is the Heavenly Dao Qi that Ye Lingxuan inherited in the forbidden zone!

This celestial energy can rewrite time to a certain extent, which perfectly matches the ancestral artifact of the forbidden zone, the Lock of Desolate Time.

Mu Zhian's mind stirred slightly, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the Heavenly Dao Qi in Wei Mengrou's hand.

Each Heavenly Dao Qi provides different benefits to cultivators. Bai Ruoxi's Heavenly Dao Qi increases her cultivation speed exponentially, while Mu Zhian's enhances the cultivation speed of others. Ye Lingxuan's Heavenly Dao Qi is related to time.

The Heavenly Dao Qi in Wei Mengrou's hand, regardless of its abilities, emitted a light that was clearly different from others... which was quite intriguing.

Wei Mengrou slowly shook her head: "I don't know, but it seems to resonate with my spiritual consciousness, and it seems to be very close to me."

She couldn't quite explain it, but she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with this thing from birth.

“Divine artifacts possess spirits, and the Heavenly Dao Qi should also have something similar to an artifact spirit. After an artifact spirit is bound to its master, it will reflect the master’s inner thoughts to a certain extent,” Ye Lingxuan explained.

The same goes for her Timeless Lock; so sometimes when she wants to bring Brother Mu back to the Forbidden Zone to stay with her forever, the Timeless Lock begins to stir.

"Does the Heavenly Dao Qi also contain artifact spirits?" Mu Zhi'an pondered, looking at the spherical Heavenly Dao Qi. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, so he slowly stretched out his palm.

The moment her palm touched the Heavenly Dao Qi, the Heavenly Dao Qi that had been silently floating in Wei Mengrou's hand suddenly rushed into Mu Zhian's palm.

Then, she gently stroked Mu Zhian's palm like a cat.

"Sister Mengrou's Heavenly Dao Qi seems to be very close to Brother Mu?" Ye Qian stared at the Heavenly Dao Qi with suspicion.

“The spirit of the artifact can reflect the master’s thoughts to a certain extent, and the fact that the Heavenly Dao Qi is doing this means that…” Ye Lingxuan glanced at the maid’s aloof face intentionally or unintentionally.

Then, he silently pressed down on the restless lock of the desolate time hidden in his sleeve.

"So, Miss Wei really does like her young master quite a bit?" Lan Feiying's gaze towards Wei Mengrou held a deeper meaning.

In the past, Wei Mengrou always acted with disdain towards her young master, but now the reaction of this Heavenly Dao energy seems to be completely different from that of her master...

Wei Mengrou said calmly, "It's probably because he just helped me that the Heavenly Dao Qi has a favorable impression of him... It has nothing to do with me."

She glanced casually at the Heavenly Dao Qi in Mu Zhian's hand, her eyes deep and unfathomable, and then raised her fingertip and beckoned it.

After a brief hesitation, the Heavenly Qi finally returned to Wei Mengrou's hands, albeit reluctantly.

The spirit of a weapon can reflect the thoughts of its master to a certain extent. In other words, if my Heavenly Dao Qi were to escape and fly around other girls, wouldn't I be doomed on the spot?

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel secretly glad that his Heavenly Dao Qi had remained obedient and had never escaped from his body.

Then, he recalled Wei Mengrou's intimate gesture with her Heavenly Dao Qi, and couldn't help but glance at the maid a few more times.

Could it be that Sister Mengrou has always secretly hoped to gain her young master's favor...?
