It turns out, they were the main characters.

"How is it?" Yao Meng's gentle voice came from beside me.

Ye Qingxin was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "He did indeed pass the first test of this grotto-heaven..."

"However, a real assessment cannot be conducted through such opportunistic methods..."

Others passed the test by resisting the fantasies in their minds through willpower.

But who would have thought that Mu Zhian would choose to follow his own desires without any resistance, and even play with Ye Qingxin in the 'VR game' right in front of the empress, posing her in various ways.

Until finally, Mu Zhian entered "sage mode" and was completely satisfied, he naturally passed the test...

Looking at the black and red fabric scraps by the bed in the painting, and the shy and timid Ye Qingxin in the painting, the Empress on the Ascension Platform was so ashamed that she wanted to cover her face and throw Mu Zhian out of the cave.

However, passing this assessment does not guarantee passing the second one.

After all, there is only one way to pass this second assessment.

As the scene in the painting, filled with an ambiguous and sweet atmosphere, gradually disappeared, Ye Qingxin gradually calmed down, her gaze fixed on Mu Zhian in the painting.

At this moment, Mu Zhian had arrived at the second test of this cave.

Before Mu Zhian appeared a gate to the Heavenly Court. The gate was made of bronze and looked magnificent and ancient, as if it stood between heaven and earth with a majestic aura.

Yao Meng raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at the gate in the painting, her eyes flickering slightly.

She always felt that something was off about this door.

Yao Meng had once walked the path to immortality and even seen that gate, so she was quite familiar with the Heavenly Court gate in the painting before her.

At this very moment, she sensed an aura from the Heavenly Gate within this grotto-heaven that was exactly the same as that of the real Heavenly Gate!

At this moment, Yao Meng seemed to have thought of something, and slightly turned her head to stare at Ye Qingxin's beautiful and refined face.

"You connected the gates of Heaven to this grotto-heaven?"

No wonder Ye Qingxin is so confident... Even the most talented person would not be able to pass this test.

Those disciples who participate in the assessment will receive tremendous divine opportunities, provided they pass the first level of the assessment.

But this second level of assessment was never intended for these cultivators from the beginning!

Ye Qingxin's most important purpose in descending to the mortal realm was to become the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

And in this world, there is only one person who can open that door without relying on any rules.

—Lord of Heaven!

As long as Ye Yu can pass the first test, he will naturally encounter Mu Zhi'an in front of the Heavenly Court gate, and at that time, they will have a fair chance to compete.

This was Ye Qingxin's true purpose.

Faced with Yao Meng's question, Ye Qingxin simply smiled elegantly and remained silent.

This woman has really schemed a lot... Yao Meng quietly withdrew her gaze, her beautiful eyes clear and calm as she stared at Mu Zhi'an.

Although somewhat surprised, she had confidence in Mu Zhian, believing that even if he encountered Ye Yu, Mu Zhian could still handle him.

Moreover, today's trip wasn't a complete waste, as she saw quite a few interesting things.

For example, scenes of Mu Zhi'an being intimate with other girls, and even scenes of her being forced into various shameful poses and being teased by Qing Di.

Under the gaze of the two, Mu Zhian unknowingly arrived at the gates of the Heavenly Court.

He slowly reached out his hand and gently touched the gates of Heaven.

He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was preparing something.

Meanwhile, on the Ascension Platform in reality, Ye Qingxin casually glanced at a painting. When she saw Ye Yu, who had already passed the first level of the test and was now climbing the steps, a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.

Although Ye Yu's completion speed was not as fast as Mu Zhi'an's, it had already surpassed most of the prodigies present.

She, a descendant of the Ye family, is truly gifted.

Ye Yu passed the test and naturally encountered Mu Zhi'an at the gates of Heaven.

In this way, she achieved her goal.

Ye Qingxin's alluring red lips curled slightly as she looked at Mu Zhian once more.

He had already opened his eyes, seemingly having regulated his disordered spiritual energy. His black robe, embroidered with gold thread, added to his noble air, making him appear like a refined and elegant young nobleman. His profile was strikingly handsome.

If we only look at his appearance, there are few people who can compare to him.

However, in the world of cultivation, appearance doesn't determine one's fate...

Ye Qingxin was about to look away and check on the others again.

However, at that moment, she suddenly felt a slight glare in the corner of her eye.

She narrowed her eyes and glanced to the side.

It is light, a vast and boundless radiance spreading across the painting, surging like a tidal wave.

Then, under Ye Qingxin's gradually freezing, bewitching red eyes, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

In the painting, Mu Zhian raised his hand and gently pressed it against the gate of the Heavenly Court.

Then, without any resistance, the gates of Heaven were slowly pushed open.

Chapter 324 Mu Zhian: Isn't this my home? 6K

A blinding white light flashed before my eyes and was reflected in the painting, which was clearly the scene behind the gates of Heaven!

The Heavenly Court is majestic and towering, shrouded in clouds and mist. In the distance, one can faintly hear the ancient bells. White cranes roam freely in the Heavenly Court, making it seem like a fairyland.

The last time he came, Mu Zhian was busy absorbing the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court, so he did not go deep into the Heavenly Court. This time, he had a rare opportunity, so he naturally stepped into the Heavenly Court without any hesitation.

"No wonder Ye Qingxin gave a first-grade artifact spirit as a reward... This cave heaven's assessment is simply impossible for a human to pass." Mu Zhian muttered to himself.

The gates of Heaven can only be opened by those who meet the rules and by the master of Heaven. Among the people present, it is impossible for anyone to be wearing stockings made of Nirvana Silk.

Ultimately, the very fact that she is a 'woman' already excludes a large portion of cultivators.

Even among female cultivators, who would have thought that the rules in the Heavenly Court were so bizarre?

However... even if Ye Qingxin racked her brains, she could never have imagined that among these disciples undergoing the assessment, there would actually be someone capable of opening the gates of the Heavenly Court.

In fact, even without the reward of a first-grade artifact spirit, the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Court alone is already a rare and precious opportunity for immortality.

The spiritual energy within these celestial realms is all the result of Ye Qingxin's insights while creating her grotto-heaven. It contains unique Daoist principles, and if the time is right, one might even be able to break through bottlenecks using it.

Although he was an ancestor of the Ye family, he was noticeably more generous than Ye Yu.

"The framework of the Dao Integration Realm is still there, but unfortunately the Heavenly Court's spiritual energy isn't particularly important to me..." Mu Zhian shook his head inwardly, originally intending to step directly into the depths of the Heavenly Court.

But then he paused in front of the gate, and with a wave of his hand, spread a wisp of spiritual energy from the cauldron to the gate of the Heavenly Court.

It gives one the feeling of "Mu Zhian has come here for a visit".

After leaving his 'footprints' in front of the Heavenly Court gates, Mu Zhian then stepped into the depths of the Heavenly Court.

He clearly hadn't expected that his every move was being watched by the two empresses.

On the Ascension Platform, Ye Qingxin's gaze was fixed on the painting, unable to look away. Her heart was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

The Gate of Heaven is a gate that only those who meet the rules can step into. Yet, Mu Zhi'an clearly didn't even circulate his spiritual energy, but he easily pushed open the Gate of Heaven.

Yao Meng also gazed quietly, her expression still calm, but her emerald green eyes held a thoughtful look.

From the moment she saw the young man's back at the end of the path to immortality, she had a feeling of familiarity. However, at that time, Yao Meng found it hard to imagine that the Lord of Heaven and Mu Zhi'an were the same person.

However, it now seems that the figure she saw at the end of the path to immortality that day was probably not her imagination.

"It seems you didn't expect anyone to push open that gate connecting to the Heavenly Court?" Yao Meng glanced sideways at Ye Qingxin's expression.

Ye Qingxin remained calm, but even with such an attempt to conceal it, she could not hide the surprise hidden deep in her eyes.

"Did Fairy Yao Meng already know that he could open the gates of Heaven?" She snapped out of her thoughts and looked back into Yao Meng's emerald green eyes.

Yao Meng gently shook her head and said softly, "It was just a guess before, but it was hard to believe... But now that I think about it, the various scenarios he was imagining of being intimate with other people just now have already given you and me the answer."

Ye Qingxin's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was pondering what Yao Meng had said.

“There is something we have overlooked in the first level of assessment you set up.”

Yao Meng continued, "The fantasies within the grotto-heavens all originate from the desires of the cultivators' hearts."

She looked at the boy in the painting who was now walking into the depths of the Heavenly Court, turned her head and continued, "Do you remember the scene when you were with him just now... I mean, the you he imagined."

Seemingly recalling some unpleasant memories, Ye Qingxin gritted her teeth secretly, but still maintained a calm demeanor: "...Of course I remember."

How could I possibly forget such a scene?

In the past, she never imagined that a junior in the Refining Spirit Realm would dare to disrespect a powerful being in the Harmony Realm.

The oppressive aura of a Dao Integration Realm cultivator is innate. Facing a Dao Integration Realm being, simply maintaining one's composure and not kneeling is already the limit. Who would have thought that Mu Zhi'an not only had special feelings for her, but even put them into action...

Recalling the pieces of cloth she had just seen by the bed, Ye Qingxin's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Why did you suddenly bring this up?" she asked, suppressing the flutter in her heart.

"Is the palace he just imagined in the cave the palace in the Heavenly Court?" Yao Meng asked.

Ye Qingxin suddenly paused for a moment.

yes……

The fantasies within the grotto-heavens all stem from the desires in the hearts of cultivators.

Mu Zhian had just imagined not only women, but also various scenes such as the palace in the Heavenly Court.

If that's the case, how could Mu Zhian imagine what the palaces in the Heavenly Court are like if he had never been there?

Ye Qingxin's eyes flickered slightly, and she gradually calmed down.

Then, she gave a reply that surprised Yao Meng: "I have never seen what the Heavenly Palace looks like."

"The Heavenly Court's territory is not as small as you imagine. It's quite large, and the sights I saw when I first entered the Heavenly Court were completely different from those of you, young friend Mu," Ye Qingxin said.

"So, does that mean that everyone's vision after ascending to the Heavenly Court is likely to be completely different?" Yao Meng murmured to herself.

Ye Qingxin nodded slightly: "The gates of the Heavenly Court are connected to any area of ​​the Heavenly Court and cannot be controlled independently."

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily fell back onto the painting.

After saying all that, she still hadn't figured out the most crucial thing.
