It turns out, they were the main characters.

Is this new Heavenly Dao playing a trick on me?

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes, about to turn his head to look at the little girl behind him.

Boom!

At that moment, the ancient and heavy door behind him made a loud thud, and then, under Mu Zhian's gaze, the ancient bronze door slowly opened...

At this moment, Yuanluo's calm and clear voice came from behind: "Actually, even if you don't push open that door, you will still be recognized by the Heavenly Court."

"As for the reason..."

She looked up at Mu Zhi'an and said softly, "Because you are the one who set the rules of the Heavenly Court."

……

Southern Wilderness.

Inside a massive cathedral, a huge statue of a goddess standing at the far end of the cathedral suddenly cracked open, and from that crack, a faint light seemed to quietly emanate and then fly out of the cathedral.

The priestesses who were kneeling in prayer before the goddess statue slowly raised their heads and looked up, their eyes filled with fear.

This sculpture depicts the first goddess of the Southern Wilderness Holy Land. Legend has it that after attaining enlightenment, she ascended to the Immortal Realm, transcending the mortal world.

Throughout history, priests have offered devout prayers before her.

However, this is the first time the goddess sculpture has reacted so strongly.

Deep within the church, an evil god quietly opened its eyes, its gaze fixed intently in a certain direction.

After a long while, he slowly took a breath and muttered to himself, "The coordinates of the path to immortality... are actually at the Liangyi Sect."

……

Liangyi Sect, Tianhe Garden.

Yao Meng, who was meditating, seemed to sense something and opened her eyes. Her emerald green eyes gazed in the direction of Liangyi Peak, with a hint of doubt in them.

The path to immortality has actually appeared...?

and……

Yao Meng narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly unintentionally.

For some reason, she felt there was a rather familiar aura along the path to immortality...

Chapter 316 The End of the Immortal Path...is Mu Zhi'an! 6K

The Heavenly Court has been a topic of conversation among cultivators since ancient times. However, most people only know that it is the Immortal Realm, but they do not know that the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Realm are the same place.

The vast majority of cultivators dedicate their entire lives to attaining enlightenment and ascending to the immortal realm.

The reason for this is that in the Nine Provinces, there can only be one Dao-Merging Great Power in each generation, but in the Heavenly Court, there can be more than two Dao-Merging Great Powers in one generation.

Moreover, even after two powerful beings have attained enlightenment, the rules of heaven and earth will not be rewritten, and other cultivators will still be able to comprehend the Dao.

In addition, the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court is also incredibly rich. If mortals were to live here, they might find it difficult to survive, because the spiritual energy mixed in the air is something ordinary people simply cannot absorb, or even breathe in.

It can be said that the Heavenly Court is a paradise for cultivators, but mortals dare not set foot in it no matter what.

The first Demon Emperor spent his entire life trying to reach the Heavenly Court, but he never expected that the path to immortality would only appear after his death.

No, it's more accurate to say that without the death of the first Demon Emperor, there could be no Heavenly Court, even if Mu Zhi'an obtained the Demon Emperor's ring.

The death of the first Demon Emperor ushered in the era of immortals, and only in the era of immortals can the path to immortality appear.

At this very moment, within the Two Elements Peak, a stairway to heaven, radiating a faint glow, silently appeared in people's sight.

Many cultivators rushed over upon hearing the news, and when they saw this path to immortality, their eyes were filled with fervor.

The path to immortality is the lifelong pursuit of countless cultivators, yet it has now appeared right before their eyes!

If they hadn't retained a shred of reason, some of them would probably have already embarked on the path to immortality.

"Is there someone else at the end of this path to immortality?"

At that moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from the crowd, the tone filled with astonishment and disbelief, but hidden in the eyes was a deep awe and worship.

The one who spoke was Lin Yuan, the Holy Son of the Xuan Yin Palace in the Eastern Continent. He was shrouded in a faint black mist and possessed an extraordinary aura.

This prodigy, who had reached the seventh level of the Divine Refinement Realm, hadn't spent more than a quarter of an hour competing in the past two days. He was one of the strongest contenders for the Ascension Tournament, yet he couldn't hide the surprise on his face at this moment.

For Lin Yuan, the appearance of this path to immortality couldn't have been more timely.

To be honest, he wasn't confident that he could win the first championship of the Ascension Tournament, but if he could obtain some immortal opportunities on the path to immortality, even if he couldn't set foot in the Heavenly Court, he was confident that he could win this Ascension Tournament.

After all, it is said that one can attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality by stepping into the immortal realm. Not to mention the distant matter of advancing to enlightenment, even if one can only sense a trace of the Dao from the immortal realm, it will be of great benefit to the future.

After that, Keyu could also see that the Holy Son of Xuan Yin Palace was much stronger than that outsider Mu Zhian... In terms of strength alone, he could even crush him.

As Lin Yuan's soft murmur ended, more people noticed the man at the end of the path to immortality. They looked up and indeed saw a towering figure dressed in black robes.

At this moment, all the cultivators were deeply moved.

"There's someone at the end of this path to immortality?!"

Another elder from an ancient force in the Eastern Continent couldn't help but speak up. Looking at the end of the Path to Immortality, he frowned and said, "I have heard that the Heavenly Court also has a master. In terms of strength alone, he is no less than the Dao Integration Realm. Could it be... that this person is the master of the Heavenly Court?"

"That's right, the end of the path to immortality is the Lord of Heaven!"

Soon, someone else spoke up excitedly. If it weren't for the elders of their clan secretly stopping them, they probably would have already been tempted to embark on this path to immortality and ascend to heaven.

Even so, no cultivators made any move at this moment.

The dozen or so terrestrial immortals present were all quite perceptive. They noticed the abnormality of this path to immortality. Although this path to immortality leading to the Heavenly Court appeared sacred and noble, it even possessed a rich spiritual energy that did not belong to the Nine Provinces.

But it also seems too strange.

The path to immortality has appeared several times in the past, and each time it has attracted countless cultivators. Many terrestrial immortals who had reached the Void Returning Realm have disappeared without a trace after setting foot on it.

The path to immortality is paved with withered bones; this is no exaggeration.

But at this moment, this path to immortality is completely devoid of any dangerous aura... This anomaly is what makes people wary.

Among the crowd, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness stood calmly, gazing up at the path to immortality.

Entering this place at the Refining Spirit Realm would be tantamount to suicide. She remained calm and open-minded, knowing that now was not the time to embark on the path to immortality.

Lan Feiying narrowed her eyes, her gaze also fixed on the Path to Immortality, or more precisely, on the young man in black robes at the end of the Path to Immortality.

A strange glint appeared in her alluring eyes, as if she had sensed something.

"Since all of you fellow Daoists are being so cautious, then I shall be the one to investigate first!"

At this moment, an elder from an ancient family finally couldn't hold back any longer. He laughed loudly, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed into the path to heaven.

It is shaped like a ring-shaped staircase, with white mist shrouding the steps, exuding a sacred aura.

boom!

Not long after the elder stepped into the path, a deafening sound came from the end of the path to immortality. Soon, people heard the elder who had flown into the path scream in terror.

"Wait, why are there so many skeletons here?! This dense spiritual energy is rejecting my cauldron!"

People looked up and saw the elder who had just stepped onto the path to immortality. Although he was a cultivator at the Void Returning Realm, he did not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations when he stepped onto the path to immortality, just like an ordinary person.

Subsequently, the elder's body slowly decayed until it finally vanished completely into the world.

This scene plunged the cultivators present into a deathly silence.

Those arrogant young people who had just witnessed this scene felt a cold sweat running down their backs, and secretly thanked their family elders for stopping them.

This path to immortality does not necessarily lead to the celestial realm; one may also disappear forever from the world after stepping onto it!

Or perhaps it was the man at the end of the path to immortality who rejected them?

With the first elder who dared to try something new dying, many cultivators turned their gazes to the young man at the end of the path to immortality, his back to all living beings.

For a time, many people were secretly speculating about what the Heavenly Lord wanted to do and why he had revealed the path to immortality.

No one would have guessed that the young man with his back to all beings was doing so simply because he was contemplating whether the rules of Heaven should be changed... perhaps by replacing the stockings made of Nirvana Silk with ordinary stockings...

After all, you can't have too high expectations...

Mu Zhian scanned the surrounding environment.

The black robe exuded a solemn and dignified air, while the pale gold lines added a touch of luxury.

His handsome features were now shrouded in a mist, his dark eyes utterly calm.

If someone were standing nearby and witnessed this scene, they would likely have noticed a hint of contemplation beneath his calm expression.

It only presents a majestic silhouette, like a celestial king overlooking everything in the mortal world, high above.

This proves just how significant the added value of the setting truly is.

If people outside knew that the Heavenly Lord at the end of the Immortal Path they were talking about was only at the fourth level of the Divine Refinement stage, and that he was thinking not about becoming an immortal but about how to set rules to admire beautiful women, I wonder what they would think.

Of course, Mu Zhian didn't care what others thought, or rather, he didn't have the leisure to care about such things at the moment.

Because at that moment, he was pondering why he was the one who made the rules.

Because of the protection of this little fairy from the Heavenly Dao?

His gaze inadvertently drifted to the silver-haired loli not far from him. She had a sweet and lovely smile on her face, but for some reason, that seemingly innocent smile also seemed to exude the allure of a mature woman.

Logically speaking, cuteness is no match for sexiness, but Iris perfectly combines the two qualities.

However, from the very beginning, she hasn't answered any of my questions.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "You said I am the rule-maker of the Heavenly Court, which means that everything here is decided by me?"

“You can rewrite the rules, but a Refining God Realm cultivator cannot fully control this Heavenly Court,” Yuanluo nodded slightly.

Mu Zhian looked up at the now-open bronze gate, pondered for a long time, and then asked, "What is the difference between the Heavenly Court and the Nine Provinces?"

The little girl tilted her head back, seemingly pondering Mu Zhian's words.

After a moment, she said in a clear and pleasant voice, "If I had to say, the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court is several times richer than that in the Nine Provinces, and there are also many special cultivation techniques and medicinal herbs that are not available in the outside world."

"If I absorb the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court into the Natural Furnace, can it be used to nourish others?" Mu Zhian asked.

"Okay." This time, Yuanluo gave him a positive answer.

Mu Zhian fell into deep thought.

Although he had a vague idea that this was feasible, he was still pleasantly surprised when he actually heard Yuanluo say it.
