It turns out, they were the main characters.

But after so many years, no information about the Primordial Witch has been found. Where can the Holy Maiden and Holy Son find information about the Primordial Witch?

Although they came to Dongzhou to investigate the matter of the Primordial Witch again, they did not actually have high hopes.

"We have no news of the Primal Witch."

Wen Qingyun was not surprised by Tang Sufei's words. If it were so easy to find the Primordial Witch, the World Sea wouldn't have been so busy searching everywhere in vain all these years.

But then Tang Sufei continued, "However, I know where the Primordial Witch is now."

Snapped!

The books fell to the ground, but Wen Qingyun seemed oblivious, her gaze fixed on Tang Sufei.

Her eyes first showed surprise, then gradually turned to doubt, until finally, she suppressed her inner doubt and excitement, looked up at Tang Sufei, and said, "Do you know where the Primordial Witch is now?"

"Tianhe Garden".

Under Wen Qingyun's gaze, Tang Sufei raised her head and continued, "The Primordial Witch is currently at Tianhe Garden."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"You mean you were killed by Mu Zhi'an's lightning tribulation, which caused you to fail the martial arts assessment?"

Inside the villa, Elder Nanhuang stared at the Southern Wilderness Holy Son with a gloomy expression, and seeing his disheveled appearance, he was immediately enraged and berated Nigati mercilessly.

Although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to accept defeat. At that moment, Nigati could not find a reason to refute, but he felt extremely aggrieved.

Who would have thought that Mu Zhi'an would act like a madman, dragging nearly twenty people down with him to their deaths?!

He doesn't even care about losing his cultivation level... What can you do when you encounter someone like that?

"If there are more than ten people undergoing tribulation, no one can handle it," Nigati could only answer, forcing a smile.

On a chair to the side of the hall, Regina, dressed in a glamorous red dress with her golden hair cascading down her back, sat with her legs crossed, playing with a strand of hair, looking down at Nigati.

"I'm more concerned about what you just said than that."

"You said that during the tribulation, the maidservant beside Mu Zhi'an used a black mist similar to a secret technique from the Southern Wilderness to protect Mu Zhi'an, and later even scared away the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"The subsequent events were spread by cultivators in the martial arts world, so the news may not be true," Nigati said.

He was blasted to pieces by the lightning tribulation early on. If it weren't for the jade slip protecting him, he would probably be dead by now, and naturally he wouldn't know what happened afterward.

"Black mist, possibly a secret technique from the Southern Wilderness..."

Regina repeated it softly, her eyes narrowing as she tapped her knuckles lightly on the table, lost in thought.

The Southern Wilderness Secret Technique is a closely guarded secret of the Southern Wilderness, but why does a similar black mist appear on Wei Mengrou's body?

Although she made a deal with Mu Zhian, Mu Zhian had no way to pass on the Southern Wilderness Secret Technique to others, so Wei Mengrou's Southern Wilderness Secret Technique should not have been passed on by Mu Zhian.

"I once heard that the earliest secret technique of the Southern Wilderness actually originated from the Eastern Continent. However, three gods later discovered one of these secret techniques in a chaotic treasure land and improved it, which is how the strange fog we see today came about."

The elder of the Southern Wilderness frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the maid obtained another secret technique of the Southern Wilderness?"

At that moment, a servant dressed in black silently appeared in their field of vision at the entrance of the hall.

"What is it?" Regina asked.

"The Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the World Sea have just left the South Shore and are now heading towards the Glazed Palace," the attendant said respectfully.

The Glazed Tile Palace?

Both the Southern Wilderness Elder and Nigati had a hint of doubt in their eyes.

They all knew that the Ascension Conference was only one of the purposes of the World Sea's journey to the Eastern Continent; the real purpose was to find the Primordial Witch.

The world's oceans have been quite turbulent in recent years, so Nanhuang naturally knows a little about it.

Logically speaking, the World Sea Saintess and Saint Son should still be participating in the Martial World Assessment, so why are they rushing to the Glazed Palace...?

Who are they going to find?

For some reason, a name inexplicably popped into Regina's mind.

“I have another reason to want him.” Regina suddenly chuckled, stood up from her chair, and seemed to be about to leave.

"Is Miss going out?" the elder asked.

Regina nodded slightly: "I need to go and prepare."

"Prepare what...?" the elder asked, frowning.

Regina turned her head and smiled sweetly, "Of course, we'll prepare the betrothal gifts."

"After all, we can't let others get there first."

……

Tianhe Garden.

While undercurrents were swirling outside, Mu Zhian was still in a state of shock and joy at the thought of "Holy crap, I've just added a Great White Shark to my fishpond!"

After the initial joy, a sense of confusion and bewilderment followed.

Logically, the person who can open the black box must be someone who is related to the Primordial Witch and is recognized by her. Currently, there are only three people known to be able to open the black box: Mu Zhian, Wei Mengrou, and the Primordial Witch beside him.

Who could have secretly placed the paper crane into the black box?

Also, when did the other party put the paper crane in the black box?

The Primordial Witch also looked puzzled, muttering to herself, "Logically speaking, only I and those I approve of should be able to open this black box... How could someone put a paper crane and a peach blossom inside?"

"Besides me and Sister Mengrou, is there anyone else who can open this black box? For example, did the other party use some kind of secret technique to open the black box?" Mu Zhian asked.

The Primordial Witch slowly shook her head: "If the other party had used a secret technique to forcibly open the black box, the cave within would have been destroyed, and it would not be as intact as it is now."

She paused, then continued, "However... your maid and I are both obsessions of the primordial witch. Perhaps, the one who keeps this paper crane is another obsession?"

Mu Zhian heard the words "sharp" and looked up, asking, "There are three obsessions in total?"

If that's the case, it explains why the primordial witch in front of us doesn't know about paper cranes.

Because the one who put the paper cranes and peach blossoms in the black box might also be the primordial witch, but not the primordial witch in front of us.

However, the methods of this Primordial Witch are a bit too exaggerated. Not only is she proficient in the art of concealing heavenly secrets, but she can even rewrite time, allowing 'life' to start over, and even splitting into three obsessions...

"There seems to be a special black mist in the pendant on Sister Mengrou's chest. Do you know what it is?" Mu Zhian asked.

"That bronze pendant contains a secret technique that conceals the secrets of heaven, and the Southern Wilderness Secret Technique is one of them," the Primordial Witch revealed the truth.

Mu Zhian suddenly realized something.

No wonder the two kinds of black mist are so similar; they actually originated from the same secret technique that conceals the secrets of heaven.

So, does this mean that the Primordial Witch also visited the Southern Wilderness in the past?

Just who is this Primordial Witch? She seems to be proficient in far too many things... Mu Zhi'an looked at the Primordial Witch beside him, who was wearing a black hood but whose graceful figure could not be concealed, and his heart was filled with emotion.

At this moment, the array in the villa rippled slightly, attracting Mu Zhian's attention.

He looked up and then raised an eyebrow, muttering to himself with amusement, "They've arrived so quickly?"

"Is it someone who came looking for you?" the Primordial Witch asked.

Mu Zhian shook his head slightly and smiled, "I'm just a bonus."

"The person they really want to see is you."

The Primordial Witch held Mu Zhi'an's arm tightly and whispered, "I just want to stay here now, I don't want to go anywhere else."

After she finished speaking, she leaned her head slightly on Mu Zhian's shoulder, looking like an ordinary girl.

If I were to say, "If you're not going, then I'll go," would she lock me in a dark room right then and there...? Mu Zhi'an gazed at the beautiful face revealed beneath the Primordial Witch's black hood and silently complained to himself.

However, considering the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, he ultimately suppressed the idea, not wanting to take such a big risk.

Although he doesn't remember anything that happened between him and the Primal Witch in the past, that doesn't stop him from liking her.

Firstly, he could definitely feel her affection, and secondly... she was just too beautiful.

Ultimately, the original witch was Wei Mengrou, so it's not a problem that she liked her own maid.

Whether it was Mu Zhian's idea that had an effect or not, he clearly felt that the fragrance of the beauty beside him seemed to have changed subtly, and the softness of her breasts that had just touched his arm seemed to be different from that of the Primordial Witch.

Mu Zhian turned his head slightly and saw that the Primordial Witch beside him had somehow returned to Wei Mengrou's original form.

Wei Mengrou slowly opened her eyes, noticed Mu Zhian's burning gaze, and realized that her hands were still tightly wrapped around his arm. A faint blush flashed across her eyes, and she quickly let go.

Mu Zhian didn't seem to mind at all, and asked with a smile, "Did she go back?"

Wei Mengrou nodded gently: "Her obsession was already very weak. She can't maintain this body for too long, otherwise there is a risk that she will disappear in the future."

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "What happens after the obsession disappears?"

"It will probably disappear completely."

The shyness she felt earlier had gradually dissipated. Wei Mengrou looked at Mu Zhian with complicated eyes and said softly, "But even so, she still wants to see you."

"Is your obsession different from hers?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

If Wei Mengrou and that obsession were both primordial witches, does that mean Wei Mengrou will also disappear one day?

Wei Mengrou shook her head and said, "If I had to define it, I wouldn't call it an obsession. Besides, I am the master of the Primordial Witch, so I won't disappear."

"But her words..."

Although Wei Mengrou did not continue speaking, Mu Zhian already knew the answer.

Even if it resides in Wei Mengrou's body, the primordial witch's obsession will eventually disappear.

A deep-seated obsession that has loved him since the past will eventually disappear into this world... Knowing this, he still wanted to come out and see him one last time. Although Mu Zhian could not understand this feeling, he was still somewhat melancholy.

"Is there any way to help her?" Mu Zhian asked.

Wei Mengrou shook her head and said softly, "Obsessions and spiritual consciousness are different; they cannot be nurtured, so..."

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, then said, "In the past, Yao Meng was able to be saved even when she only had a wisp of her spirit left and was about to disappear. I don't believe she can't do it."

He has never seen his innate furnace fail. This thing can even quickly refine Emperor-level medicinal herbs. In the past, he spared no effort in nurturing Yao Meng's spiritual consciousness. So much so that after Fairy Yao Meng reconstructed her immortal body, she still missed the spiritual energy of the innate furnace and would squeeze Mu Zhi'an's innate furnace to nothingness every now and then.

Overall, aside from constantly stealing Mu Zhi'an's opportunities, Tian Sheng Furnace is a pretty good furnace.

Since Yao Meng's spiritual consciousness can be nurtured, the primordial witch's obsession should also be able to be nurtured, but the method has not yet been found... At least that's what Mu Zhi'an thinks now.

“Next time she comes out, let’s see if we can get her into my innate furnace,” Mu Zhian said.
