It turns out, they were the main characters.

He absorbs the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court into his innate furnace, which can then be used to nourish others. Moreover, during the process of absorbing spiritual energy, he himself can also cultivate in this place...

“The spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court is incredibly rich, but you can’t cultivate here indefinitely. With your current physique, two hours a day is already your limit,” Yuanluo suddenly said, as if she had guessed Mu Zhian’s thoughts.

"However, since you are the one who set the rules of the Heavenly Court, after you refine your spirit and return to the void, the time you can absorb spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court will also be extended."

As Mu Zhian listened to the explanation from the little girl from the Heavenly Dao, he gradually understood the structure of this Heavenly Court.

This Heavenly Court is what cultivators call the Immortal Realm. It is the lifelong pursuit of all cultivators, and those who reside in the Heavenly Court can live forever.

And he was the one who set the rules of Heaven.

As for the reason... Heaven didn't say, but Mu Zhian guessed it should be related to the 'Heaven's Blessing' in his personal interface.

The Heavenly Court has countless connections with this new Heavenly Dao. She has been waiting here for the appearance of the rule-maker of the Heavenly Court, or rather, the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

However, based on Mu Zhian's past experience, the secret of the Heavenly Lord must be kept. If outsiders find out, it will not benefit him at all.

Ultimately, this little girl from the Heavenly Dao wouldn't help him; otherwise, he wouldn't have died once in the Yaochi Holy Land in the past.

Mu Zhian could actually accept this result.

After all, even just two hours of cultivation time in the Heavenly Court each day can provide tremendous help for future cultivation.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in this Heavenly Court has no distinction of realms. When meditating and cultivating here, he can even have his innate furnace absorb the spiritual energy of this place.

The spiritual energy in this Heavenly Court can even provide considerable assistance to empresses at the Dao Integration Realm.

The next moment, Mu Zhian sat cross-legged in front of the bronze gate, his hair flying, absorbing the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court for his own use.

His time in the Heavenly Court is limited. Since Yuanluo said he could only stay in the Heavenly Court for two hours, the best solution is naturally to meditate and cultivate here.

Looking at the other side, no one expected that the young man with his back to the world was actually a participant in this Ascension Tournament.

At this moment, they all restrained their thoughts of setting foot in the Heavenly Court because of the ancient clan elders who had died in vain.

However, the cultivators did not leave, because they all knew that the true powerhouse had not yet arrived.

Cultivators at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realms cannot set foot here, but what about those at the Harmony Dao realm?

You should know that there are currently four Dao Integration Realm experts in the Two Elements Sect!

"The Azure Emperor has arrived!"

Just then, a scream came from the side, filled with deep awe and hidden admiration in the eyes.

The first Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land was as pure and immaculate as a fairy. Her smooth, white jade feet trod on the void as she slowly walked toward the path to immortality.

She seemed shrouded in a thin mist, and the silk she wore was made of Nirvana silk, shimmering with a subtle glow, drawing the attention of everyone present.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, and in this quiet space, they soon saw another woman in a white dress with an elegant demeanor.

Empress of Yuzhou, Heavenly-grade Alchemist, Luo Tan!

Luo Tan hovered halfway up the steps of the Path to Immortality, gazing up at Yao Meng who stood before it. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "The Path to Immortality has only appeared less than four times in the past. I never expected it to appear here in such an abrupt way in this life."

As she said this, her gaze inadvertently fell upon Yao Meng, who was standing in front of the path to immortality, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Unlike the Void Returning Realm, she could clearly sense the dangers on this path to immortality. This path to immortality rejected other cultivators, which is why the elders who had just set foot here perished here.

At this moment, Luo Tan could sense that the path to immortality had also rejected her.

Even if one forcibly breaks through the path to immortality and reaches the Heavenly Court, one cannot obtain anything from the Heavenly Court.

However... this Fairy Yao Meng clearly did not use any spiritual energy, yet she stood safely before the path to immortality.

Logically speaking, Yao Mengxianzi and her should be no different.

But why was Yao Meng able to embark on the path to immortality, while he himself was rejected by it?

"This path to immortality has only appeared a few times throughout history. Why has it descended upon the Nine Provinces this time because of the death of the first Demon Emperor? How interesting."

Just then, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind. He was dressed in a black robe, with a tall and imposing figure. He raised his head and gazed at the path to immortality, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Soon, he shook his head again and said, "Unfortunately, the time is not right. This path to immortality is just an illusion, and no one can easily set foot on it."

"The Lord of the Forbidden Zone!"

Immediately, someone in the crowd recognized the man in black robes, their eyes filled with admiration.

Luo Tan nodded silently. Her white skirt, embroidered with gold thread, fluttered wildly in the cold wind. She looked up at the beautiful woman in a green dress standing in front of the path to immortality, then looked away.

Although it is unknown why the path to immortality did not reject Fairy Yao Meng, fortunately, there is no time to become an immortal now, not to mention whether Yao Meng can even set foot in the Heavenly Court.

Even if it were possible, Fairy Yao Meng would not be able to absorb any spiritual energy from the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, she might have been the first person to ascend to immortality.

Empress Yuzhou, thinking of this, was about to turn her gaze away and leave.

However, when she caught a glimpse of the black-robed figure at the end of the path to immortality out of the corner of her eye, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Although the black-robed man was shrouded in a thin mist, his extraordinary bearing was evident even from behind, as if a celestial emperor had descended to earth…

But for some reason, she always had a strange sense of familiarity.

It's as if... I've seen this person somewhere before.

……

On the other side, not long after the Lord of the Forbidden Zone left Liangyi Peak, Ye Lingxuan, who had just arrived not far away, came running towards them and immediately called out in a clear voice:

"father!"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone looked over, and his resolute and indifferent face softened considerably. He gazed tenderly at his daughter's figure and asked, "Is your cultivation here going smoothly?"

Ye Lingxuan nodded gently and said with a smile, "The allure of this path to immortality is truly great; it has even stirred your interest."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone shook his head and smiled, "I have little interest in the Heavenly Court. It's just that your mother was worried about you during this Ascension Ceremony, so I came to take a look."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Lingxuan again, narrowed his eyes, and asked unfriendly, "Where is that boy from the Mu family?"

He could sense the changes in Ye Lingxuan's body; the spiritual energy in her cauldron was mixed with Mu Zhi'an's spiritual energy.

This also means that... after returning to the sect, that guy had physical intimacy with his daughter.

Suddenly, Mu Zhian was mentioned, and a faint blush flashed across Ye Lingxuan's pretty face. She lowered her head, fiddling with a strand of hair with her fingertips, and said softly, "During this time of the Ascension Conference, Brother Mu is also busy preparing for the Ascension Conference."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Otherwise, if he doesn't get a decent ranking, Dad will probably complain about him again, right?"

When Ye Lingxuan said this, she glanced at the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, her tone filled with undisguised dissatisfaction.

She didn't understand why the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was so dissatisfied with Mu Zhi'an. Clearly, Brother Mu was considerate and gentle, and would bring people small surprises from time to time. Apart from being weak-willed and easily bewitched by those vixens from the outside world, he had no other flaws.

But the fox spirit thing doesn't matter at all; all that's needed is to bring Brother Mu back to the forbidden zone in the future.

A lack of willpower can be overcome through training.

After that, she can also help temper Brother Mu's will... together with Qian'er.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone sneered: "Are you so sure that your Brother Mu is peacefully meditating and cultivating?"

"Knowing him as I do, he's probably still getting intimate with some woman right now."

Ye Lingxuan retorted indignantly, "Why is Father slandering Brother Mu like this?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone snorted coldly: "Slander? I see my own past self in him... I was much more promiscuous than him back then, how could I not know what he was thinking?"

Ye Lingxuan: "..."

"Where is your Lock of Desolate Time? Since you don't believe me, use the Lock of Desolate Time to see where he is now." Seeing that Ye Lingxuan clearly did not believe him and even had a skeptical attitude, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone spoke again.

Ye Lingxuan was naturally unwilling to accept this, and with a wave of her hand, a golden chain quietly flew out from her snow-white wrist.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone raised his hand, and the Lock of Desolate Time remained in his palm.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone sent one of the locks of the Desolate Time flying toward the direction of Liangyi Peak with a whooshing sound. Soon, it disappeared into the void, but still arrived at a villa on Liangyi Peak.

The other end of the Lock of Desolation forms a rectangular prism shape.

This is another major ability of the Lock of Time: anyone locked on can see where the other person is and what they are doing, as long as they are not far away.

The one locked by the Lock of Desolate Time is Mu Zhi'an.

However, Ye Lingxuan is currently only at the Refining Spirit Realm, and this ability to spy can only be used at the Returning Void Realm.

If she were to reach the Void Returning Realm one day, Ye Lingxuan would even be able to see what Mu Zhian does every day.

The next moment, the scene within the Lock of Time appeared in their field of vision.

The scene depicts a villa, where Lan Mulian, whose spiritual consciousness has just returned, is quietly gazing at Mu Zhian. She possesses a cool and aloof demeanor, exquisite and beautiful features, a full and firm chest, and a white dress adorned with pale gold moonlight patterns.

After gazing at him for a moment, the aloof and impeccable senior sister hesitated for a moment, then reached out a slender hand and gently brushed aside Mu Zhian's hair.

Mu Zhian remained completely silent throughout.

Ye Lingxuan suddenly bit her lip, her peach blossom eyes revealing a deep look as she gazed intently at Mu Zhian.

Brother Mu wasn't cultivating; instead, he went to find Senior Sister. He had said before that he would be busy with cultivation and therefore would be quite busy during this time...

However, at this moment, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in surprise, "No... his spiritual consciousness is not in his body."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan was stunned for a moment, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. She subconsciously looked at the Lord of the Forbidden Zone: "Father, what does this mean?"

However, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone remained silent this time, staring intently at the boy in the image.

As if remembering something, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone slowly raised his head and gazed at the end of the path to immortality.

The figure of the young man in black robes slowly merged completely with that of Mu Zhian.

After an unknown amount of time, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone finally came to his senses in a daze. Under Ye Lingxuan's gaze, he murmured in disbelief, "The master of the Heavenly Court... could it be him?"

……

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone stood with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the end of the Path to Immortality.

At this moment, the man at the end of the path to immortality was shrouded in a hazy white mist, with runes seemingly flashing behind him, exuding an extraordinary aura.

If an ordinary person were to see it for the first time, they would probably only feel awe.

However, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone also had some knowledge of the Heavenly Court in the past, and the more he looked at that figure, the stranger it seemed.
