It turns out, they were the main characters.

Golden chains encircled her body, their clanging creating an astonishing aura. Her fair, ice-crystal-like skin possessed an exquisite texture, seemingly delicate and fragile.

That once somewhat immature face has now blossomed into a stunningly beautiful woman, her delicate features adorned with light makeup, and her gorgeous purple eyes holding a faint smile.

The ruler of the restricted area looked up at this scene, his eyes filled with a sense of satisfaction.

Knowing that his daughter was competing today, he came from the forbidden area specifically to see Ye Lingxuan and also to meet Ye Qingxin.

The forbidden zone separated from the Ye family after Ye Qingxin ascended to the Heavenly Court. In a sense, that woman could be considered his senior.

"With that girl from the Lan family participating in this Ascension Ceremony, it's unlikely there will be any turning point."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone remained calm, looking at his daughter with a rare hint of a smile on his usually stern face: "But it's enough that she's come this far."

Upon hearing Lan Mulian's name, many elders nodded almost imperceptibly.

"With the sect leader personally guiding her, it's acceptable that Lan Mulian will ultimately emerge victorious."

Many elders sighed inwardly when they thought of the sect leader of the Two Elements Sect.

Lan Mulian was the first one, and presumably, she would also be Shang Yanfei's last disciple.

The older the family or sacred place, the more awe they hold their sect leader.

Even though the spirit dragon, who possessed immense fortune throughout its life, was cultivated by her, with the sect leader's guidance, it was only natural that Lan Mulian would ultimately win the Ascension Tournament.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone remained silent, only looking up at his daughter who was sparring with someone in the cave, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Although these ancient noble families held Shang Yanfei in awe, only those who had lived alongside her for a lifetime truly knew how terrifying she was.

Before he attained enlightenment, Consort Shang Yan was already an empress standing tall in the world. In those vicissitudes of life, the path to immortality appeared several times, but she was never seen ascending to the Heavenly Court.

That empress was stunningly beautiful, mysterious and unfathomable; no one knew what she was waiting for.

At this moment, an elder on the Ascension Platform sighed with emotion: "If someone in the future is fortunate enough to befriend the Holy Maiden of the Forbidden Zone, I wonder what a blessing that would be."

Upon hearing this, many elders from ancient forces were slightly moved and glanced at the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

If their offspring could marry this holy maiden from the forbidden zone, they would not only have a celestial beauty in their future, but they would also be bound to the warship of the forbidden zone.

"My daughter's love life is her own decision, and I will not interfere," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone snorted coldly, his tone indifferent.

Some elders realized that the lord of the forbidden area did not like others discussing her daughter's marital and romantic affairs, so they all kept quiet and said nothing more.

"Speaking of which, something quite interesting happened these past two days."

At this moment, someone spoke up, easing the slightly tense atmosphere.

Immediately, someone chimed in, "Are you referring to the Azure Emperor's Daoist partner?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone frowned slightly and asked, "The Azure Emperor also has a Daoist partner?"

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but with the Azure Emperor's temperament, how many people in the Nine Provinces could catch her eye these days?

Although it was hard to believe, for some reason, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone had already vaguely guessed something in his heart.

If the person asking this question wasn't the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, the elders would probably be complaining by now: "Everyone already knows, your information is really outdated."

It's no wonder, the forbidden zone is a secluded place, so news couldn't possibly spread so quickly. The master of the forbidden zone naturally didn't know what had happened at the Ascension Platform that day.

"Who would have thought that the fairy in the eyes of the world would be pursued and won over by a mere cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm?" someone couldn't help but sigh.

"Although he is only at the Refining Spirit Realm, he was able to pass the test of the Ye family's ancestor, so his talent is not bad."

"The ancestors of the Ye family...?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone paused slightly, muttering to himself, "Ye Qingxin...?"

As soon as Mu Zhian arrived near the Ascension Platform, he saw that the battle in the cave was just coming to an end. The Lock of Desolate Time controlled the entire cave, and the flow of time quietly stopped.

Mu Zhian looked up at the scene of the cave in mid-air and said softly, "The one fighting Sister Lingxuan is the Holy Maiden of Yaochi? Without the blessing of the ancestral artifact, it will be difficult for her to win in the end."

As he spoke, his gaze swept around and quickly fell upon Ye Qian, who was leaning against the pavilion. Her chest was proudly puffed out, and her long hair cascaded down her slender waist. As if sensing Mu Zhi'an's gaze, she looked up and called out crisply:

"Brother Mu, what brings you here too?"

This voice drew the attention of many people nearby, and when they saw Mu Zhian, their eyes held a meaningful look.

Mu Zhian walked over as if nothing had happened and said with a smile, "Sorry, something came up yesterday and I couldn't come to watch your match."

Ye Qian gently shook her head and said, "I'm already very happy to have come this far. I originally planned to stop here."

Lan Feiying had been cultivating for several years longer than her and seemed to have had a special opportunity, making her strength unfathomable. It would be strange if she could win.

"It's good that you can take it easy. I was worried that you would get stuck on things."

Mu Zhian smiled and reached out to pat Ye Qian's head, his eyes filled with emotion.

This is my only real little sister, I must cherish her...

There aren't many 'young girls' left for Young Master Mu. Among all the girls who are 'chained,' only Qian'er is the kindest girl who truly understands and cares for Brother Mu...

"Don't do that, so many people are watching..."

Ye Qian's pretty face flushed slightly, but she still obediently lowered her head and whispered.

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "It's alright, let them watch."

What I care if they're unhappy? As long as I'm happy.

On the other side, Ye Lingxuan had already left the cave. Her gaze swept over everyone, lingering on Mu Zhian for a moment, before turning to her father on the Ascension Platform, a sweet and obedient smile appearing on her pretty face.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone was also quite pleased. His usually serious face couldn't help but show a faint smile. He took a step forward and appeared below the Ascension Platform the next moment.

"Father, what brings you here? Where is Mother?"

Ye Lingxuan flew over lightly on her sword and called out in a clear voice.

However, his gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally toward the pavilion not far away.

Although she had already tacitly agreed to accompany Mu-gege with Qian'er, she still couldn't help feeling a little jealous when she saw him being intimate with Qian'er alone.

The master of the penalty area had just smiled when he heard the second half of the sentence, and he immediately felt helpless again.

This is quite realistic. Usually, when people call for their father, they are asking for their mother, which is similar to the modern-day question, "Dad, where's my mom?"

Although somewhat helpless, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone still showed a gentle expression and said, "After the rules of heaven and earth changed, your mother seemed to have vaguely touched the threshold of breakthrough, so she temporarily went into seclusion in the Forbidden Zone."

Ye Lingxuan looked thoughtful.

"After this, I may also go into seclusion for a while. If anything happens, you can contact your uncles," said the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Upon hearing this, even Ye Lingxuan was somewhat surprised, saying, "Could it be that Father has touched the threshold of ascension...?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone shook his head and said, "The rewriting of the rules of heaven and earth only allows those who have returned to the Void to step onto the path of enlightenment, but the shackles of heaven and earth on the union with the Dao still exist."

"After the path to immortality appeared, I gained some new insights, and I can try to break through it."

Ye Lingxuan glanced at Mu Zhian not far away, seemingly concerned, and said absentmindedly, "This world does not allow anyone to exist who is above the Heavenly Dao. Father, please remember not to get stuck on trivial matters."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said helplessly, "I should be the one saying this to you. No matter what your final outcome is in this Ascension Conference, remember not to get stuck on one thing."

Ye Lingxuan smiled and said sweetly, "Do I look like the kind of person who would do something drastic?"

Senior Sister Lan's strength is widely acknowledged, and defeating her is extremely difficult. If one only thinks about winning, one will inevitably fall into demonic possession sooner or later.

A smart girl like Ye Lingxuan naturally knows what to do.

After chatting for a while, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone suddenly asked, "Do you know where the guests from Heaven who visited a few days ago are staying?"

Ye Lingxuan immediately understood the meaning behind his words and said, "Are you talking about Sister Ye Qingxin? She just gave my daughter and Qian'er some guidance, and she's currently staying in the main hall on the south bank."

"She's giving you pointers...? Is it because of your younger sister, Ye Qian?"

The master of the restricted area was secretly surprised.

Judging from her daughter's words, it seems she has already had contact with Ye Qingxin?

I thought Ye Qingxin would no longer have any contact with the forbidden area, but I didn't expect that the Ye family ancestor who descended from the Heavenly Court had given his daughter some pointers just a few days ago.

Ye Lingxuan shook her head and said, "Brother Mu had contact with that ancestor before and it seems that he persuaded her. She treats my daughter and Qian'er very well."

When Ye Qingxin was mentioned, Ye Lingxuan's eyes showed more respect.

Ye Qingxin is an extremely mature and beautiful woman with rich cultivation experience. She also knows the secrets of the Heavenly Court that ordinary people do not know. Even a proud and proud girl like Ye Lingxuan cannot help but respect her.

"Can Mu Zhian persuade the Ye family's ancestor?"

Upon hearing the name Mu Zhian from his daughter's mouth, even the Lord of the Forbidden Zone couldn't help but frown.

Although he agreed to let Mu Zhian be with his daughter, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone still didn't quite like Mu Zhian.

After all, he kidnapped his own daughter, and it seems he didn't even spare her younger sister...

"If Father doesn't believe me, he can ask Sister Qingxin himself," Ye Lingxuan said with a light smile.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone shook his head and sighed, "Never mind, let's talk about it again when we have the chance later."

Ye Lingxuan blinked her bright, beautiful eyes playfully and asked tentatively, "Father, shall I go first?"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the boy who was talking to Ye Qian not far away, her mind already wandering to him.

"A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home. Just remember not to forget where your home is in the future," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone said irritably.

Watching Ye Lingxuan jog straight after Mu Zhi'an, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone withdrew his gaze, looking wistfully towards the border between the Demon Realm and the Eastern Continent.

He came today for two reasons: first, to watch his daughter's competition, and second, to ask Ye Qingxin some questions.

The Demon Queen's identity was already special, possessing a unique physique that allowed her to devour the essence of others. Now, she has even devoured the essence of the first Demon Queen.

She has great ambitions; after refining the essence of the first Demon Emperor, she will probably try to break through to the Feathering Realm.

We need to prepare in advance.

The possibility of breaking through to the Dao realm lies in the Heavenly Court.

……

At this very moment, the key to unlocking the Heavenly Court is openly and honestly returning to Dexin Garden with two stunningly beautiful sisters, chatting and laughing all the way.

"Lingxuan, is our father here to visit you today?"

Mu Zhian held Ye Lingxuan's small hand in one hand and Ye Qian's soft little hand in the other, glancing at his older sister beside him.

Ye Lingxuan's spiritual energy was restrained at this moment, revealing a pure and beautiful face. Her black hair was loose and fell to her ankles, covering her buttocks which were covered by her dress.

Her breasts were beginning to take shape, her waist was slender, and a pair of alluring legs were faintly visible beneath her skirt. Wearing delicate embroidered shoes, her beautiful figure exuded a classical elegance; she was simply a captivating enchantress, displaying a pure yet alluring charm.

After lingering on Ye Lingxuan for a moment, Mu Zhian's gaze fell on Ye Qian beside him.
