It turns out, they were the main characters.

Then, Ye Yu's already severely injured body began to repair itself in a way that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Ye Yu's spiritual energy, which had been partially depleted, was also reset in an instant!

Beyond the mirror, Luo Tan observed the scene with great interest and chuckled, "The aura of Heaven, is it?"

It was invisible to the naked eye, but she could sense that the red runes flashing behind Ye Yu contained the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

It was the power of the Heavenly Dao that just granted Ye Yu the ability to reset his own time.

However, this puts Mu Zhian in a very difficult position...

Having used a first-grade artifact spirit, can he still sustain it with his current spiritual energy?

Luo Tan's gaze fell on the mirror, and when she saw Mu Zhian's calm and composed expression, his usual casual smile finally took on a more meaningful meaning.

Was he feigning profundity, or... did Mu Zhian anticipate that Ye Yu would be able to block this attack, yet still use the Heavenly Lock?

Click.

Ye Yu stretched his arms, as if showing off his strength to everyone.

Mu Zhian, on the other hand, looked at Ye Yu with great interest.

Heavenly Phoenix Technique?

No, it's not quite the same as the Heavenly Phoenix Technique. Ye Yu's technique isn't self-repair; instead, it's directly resetting his body to its initial state.

As if guessing what Mu Zhian was thinking, Ye Yu stared intently at Mu Zhian and sneered, "I know that what you are so proud of is this Heaven-Questioning Lock given to you by your ancestors, but after this attack, will you still have the strength to fight?"

“If you weren’t so arrogant, I might not have been able to beat you,” he continued.

"Does this mean your mysterious ability can only be used once?" Mu Zhian chuckled, understanding the implication in Ye Yu's words.

At this moment, Mu Zhian looked extremely weak, but he still had a calm smile on his face, as if he had the victory in his grasp.

Such a smile made Ye Yu feel that something was not quite right.

"Playing tricks!"

Ye Yu snorted coldly, and a third-grade flying sword rose from behind him, transforming into nine sword shadows that flashed past as they hurtled toward Mu Zhian.

“Ignorance is bliss,” Mu Zhian said calmly.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Almost instantly, Mu Zhian's cauldron, which had been completely depleted, suddenly burst into flames!

It was as if a phoenix was soaring into the sky behind him, and in the blink of an eye, the originally depleted spiritual energy was completely replenished.

Ye Yu's pupils contracted sharply.

The same rebirth ability as me?!

The Heavenly Lock behind him emitted a buzzing sound, and the sword vibrated slightly, frantically absorbing Mu Zhian's spiritual energy once again.

A flicker of fear crossed Ye Yu's eyes as he growled, "Teacher!"

However, just as the being within that body was about to possess it, Mu Zhian casually said, "Think carefully before you act."

He stared into Ye Yu's eyes, as if he could see the old man inside Ye Yu's body through those eyes.

In that instant, Ye Yu saw Mu Zhi'an's figure reflected in his eyes, as well as a slender figure in a black robe that vaguely appeared behind him.

The Primordial Witch.

The terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Lock once again filled the entire space. This time, without the protection of the Heavenly Dao Qi, cold sweat broke out on Ye Yu's forehead.

With a thud!

He knelt down uncontrollably, his knees slamming deeply into the ground, unable to move.

This time, no matter how Ye Yu called out to the old man inside his body, there was no response.

Why is he so strong?! I'm clearly the chosen one!

Ye Yu roared angrily and unwillingly in his heart, and with difficulty raised his head to look at the black-robed man in front of him who looked down at him like a god looking down at an ant. His eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

"I don't know when you started to have the misconception that you can beat me as long as you spar with me."

Mu Zhian hovered in mid-air, his expression indifferent, looking down at Ye Yu from above.

In truth, he chuckled softly to himself.

At this moment, countless gazes were fixed on Mu Zhi'an in shock. Many female cultivators' eyes shone with light. In their eyes, this young man was like a young god-king, full of charm.

Ye Qingxin gently gripped the teacup, ready to step in and save Ye Yu at any moment.

Finally, Mu Zhian could no longer control the Heavenly Lock, and he unleashed a powerful sword strike!

A terrifying sword light flashed past, but at that moment, Mu Zhian raised his other hand and used his spiritual energy to control the sword light of the Heavenly Lock.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he gritted his teeth and laboriously moved the Heavenly Lock, causing the sword to evade Ye Yu's fatal point.

The fortune that Heaven had bestowed upon Ye Yu in the past has been almost exhausted, but this does not mean that Heaven has completely abandoned him. If he is dealt with now, he will also suffer some backlash from the fortune.

Besides, the dead are more useful than the living, but sometimes the living are more useful than the dead.

Ye Yu is still of great use now.

laugh!

Gazing at Ye Yu's figure slowly collapsing to the ground and then quietly being teleported out of the cave, Mu Zhi'an also spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest, and stumbled out of the cave.

The area outside was completely silent, with countless eyes staring at Mu Zhi'an in utter shock.

This Mu Zhian is only at the fourth level of the Refining Spirit stage, and has always been obsessed with Nai Zi... However, today's battle has made people realize that they have probably overlooked a strong competitor in the Ascension Tournament.

The old man in front of the platform also came to his senses and said loudly, "Mu Zhi An Sheng!"

As the verdict was announced, a commotion erupted outside the arena.

At that moment, a figure carrying a delicate fragrance silently appeared beside him, pressing on his shoulder and channeling spiritual energy.

"Thank you." Mu Zhian turned to look at Yao Meng and smiled.

“You don’t need to care whether he lives or dies,” Yao Meng said, frowning slightly.

If Mu Zhian hadn't intentionally held back and controlled his spiritual energy, Ye Yu would likely have been seriously injured and left with lasting effects, even if he hadn't died from that attack.

In order to hold back, Mu Zhian controlled his spiritual energy to manipulate the already fully charged Wentian Lock, but ended up injuring himself.

Mu Zhian smiled weakly at her and said, "We are all disciples of the sect, there is no need to kill each other."

At that moment, another clear and pleasant voice transmitted into Mu Zhi'an's ear:

"Young friend Mu, if you do this, I'm afraid you won't have enough time to recover from your injury and compete tomorrow..."

Before the high platform, Ye Qingxin gracefully landed, her red eyes revealing a complex meaning.

Mu Zhian coughed lightly, but managed a forced smile, and transmitted his voice:

"I don't want to put you in a difficult position, senior. You have been kind to me, and we are also business partners. If I were seriously injured today, or even accidentally kill Ye Yu, you would surely be in a dilemma, wouldn't you?"

Ye Qingxin's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of apology appeared in her gaze as she looked at Mu Zhian.

She had already guessed that Mu Zhian held back because of her identity as an ancestor of the Ye family, but when she actually heard it from Mu Zhian's mouth, she still felt a little guilty.

At this moment, Ye Qingxin seemed to have forgotten what Mu Zhian had done to her in the painting. With apologetic eyes, she came to him.

"What is it, fellow Daoist?" Yao Meng's tone was as gentle as ever, but a hint of coldness was revealed in her emerald eyes.

"Hand him over to me first, and I will take care of treating his injuries," Ye Qingxin said.

She seemed to notice Yao Meng's cold gaze and continued, "I know the Azure Emperor holds a grudge against me, but I have the power to make him fully recover from his injuries within two days."

"Two days?"

Yao Meng said quietly, "Given his current condition, even with the help of elixirs, it would take at least half a month for him to fully recover. Could it be that Patriarch Ye has some special methods?"

Ye Qingxin raised her fingertips, and a small jade bottle appeared in her palm.

"This is the Heavenly Court's Qian Yuan Creation Pill. Only by using my secret method to activate it can the medicine fully heal his body. I think the Azure Emperor should know whether what I said is true."

Yao Meng inadvertently narrowed her eyes and glanced slightly at the boy beside her.

She naturally knew the value of the pill in Ye Qingxin's hand, but she was somewhat surprised that the other party would use it to treat Mu Zhian's injuries.

Seeing that Yao Meng did not speak again, Ye Qingxin's gaze then fell on Mu Zhian.

"Young friend Mu, if you don't mind, please come with me."

Her tone softened considerably, and her eyes held not only admiration but also a hint of apology as she looked at him.

Mu Zhian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yao Meng with a questioning gaze, conveying a sense of satisfaction to the woman, like saying, "Wife, I'll listen to you."

Seeing Yao Meng nod slightly, he hesitated for a moment before speaking with restraint:

"Then... thank you very much, senior."

For Mu Zhian, neither Ye Yu from the past, nor Gongsun Cheng, nor even the people he encountered along the way could be considered his enemies.

Although Ye Yu is the chosen one and possesses the strength to fight beyond his level, he is at most just a leek to be harvested.

A tall and plump leek is harvested once it's fully grown.

If Ye Yu were killed today, it would offend Ye Qingxin, make things difficult for the elders in the sect who were on good terms with him, and also attract the backlash of the Heavenly Dao's fortune.

By keeping Ye Yu around, Ye Qingxin's opinion of him improved, and she even got another chance to interact with him. By doing so, she could also further reduce Ye Yu's luck value, thus maximizing his worth.

The Heavenly Dao of Kyushu cannot forcibly interfere with the affairs of the human world. This time, Ye Yu was severely injured. The Heavenly Dao will either choose a new chosen one or allow Ye Yu to be reborn, guiding him to discover some ancient ruins and be reborn.

Judging from Ye Yu's current fortune, Heaven should not abandon him for the time being.

With such a treasure-hunting mouse, why should I worry about not having rare and precious treasures in the future?

As he felt the spiritual energy Yao Mengdu sent into his body transform into warm currents flowing through him, Mu Zhian was already preparing his next plan.

Inside the main hall, a commotion and whispers arose.

Many cultivators kept glancing at Mu Zhi'an from time to time. If they were initially somewhat resentful of this little cultivator who was living off the Azure Emperor, after this battle, many of them had a much better opinion of Mu Zhi'an.

Although the cultivator chosen by the Azure Emperor was not as powerful as her, his performance today was such that no one among the other cultivators present dared to say that they could win if they went up against him.

Moreover, this is probably not even the trump card of the Makichi Security Department.
