It turns out, they were the main characters.

Who left this map, and why did they specifically mark the location of the holy city?

Although this place is the sect leader's sister's private room, it's hard to guarantee that the map might have been obtained by the sect leader somewhere in the past...

Thoughts flashed through Mu Zhian's mind.

What are you doing here all by yourself?

Just then, a clear and melodious voice came from behind, pulling Mu Zhian back to reality.

He turned his head and saw that Lan Mulian was already standing in front of the basement door. Her fair and aloof appearance, with a full and upright heart on her chest, was elegant and refined.

Looking at Mu Zhian, Lan Mulian seemed to recall what had happened last night, and a hint of shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

She quickly regained her composure, crossed her arms, and said with a faint smile, "Coming to the basement alone... could it be that you yourself are already eager to keep company with the basement here?"

Mu Zhian coughed lightly and changed the subject, asking, "Has Senior Sister been here before?"

Lan Mulian immediately saw that Mu Zhian was trying to change the subject, but she did not expose him and nodded calmly.

"When did the sect leader obtain this map? Does Senior Sister know?"

Mu Zhian handed the sheepskin map in his hand to Lan Mulian.

"I'm not sure..."

Lan Mulian glanced at it and shook her head slightly, then suddenly asked, "Is there something wrong with this map?"

Maps of Kyushu are not unavailable for sale these days, but this particular map is much more detailed than those available to the public. However, apart from that, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, then he shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I was just a little curious."

"How did you know I was here, Senior Sister?" Mu Zhi'an asked again.

Lan Mulian said softly, "I was already awake when you woke up earlier, but I was wondering where you were planning to go so early in the morning, so I didn't disturb you."

She paused, a faint smile appearing in her eyes: "I thought you were interested in the basement and couldn't wait to go in."

Mu Zhian opened his mouth, wanting to say, "But I clearly saw you sleeping soundly just now," but ultimately held back.

Judging from the looks of it, his senior sister's acting skills were no less than his, the movie star, so much so that when he woke up in the morning, he was completely unaware that she was already awake.

If I end up with my senior sister, won't she be constantly catching me cheating...?

Mu Zhian was worried about his future, but he quickly felt relieved afterward.

Although my senior sister is clever, I am the dignified Lord of Heaven. I have manipulated countless people's hearts, and I even manipulated my senior sister's heart just last night. If I can't even handle a mere senior sister, how can I operate in a multi-threaded manner in the future?

“If you are interested in the origin of this sheepskin map, I can try to uncover its origins tonight and perhaps trace its history back to its source,” Lan Mulian suddenly said.

Having seen through the origin, being able to analyze it, and even being able to create and imitate the same origin, the Heavenly Mandate Holy Body is a physique that would not be an exaggeration to rank among the top three physiques in the history of the Nine Provinces.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister... Don't push yourself too hard if you don't feel comfortable."

"It's not really a problem." Lan Mulian crossed her arms and looked down at the big boy in the basement, then suddenly smiled brightly.

"But how do you plan to thank me?"

Mu Zhian tentatively asked, "Will I try harder tonight to help my senior sister achieve enlightenment as soon as possible?"

Lan Mulian gave him a reproachful look: "Is that considered a thank you? This isn't just about satisfying yourself—"

Her voice suddenly faltered.

However, in retrospect, Mu Zhian hadn't had any contact with girls during this period. In other words, wasn't she the first girl Mu Zhian had contact with during this time...?

Moreover, apart from Master and Linglong, there is no one else on Liangyi Peak, and no one knows that Junior Brother is currently on Liangyi Peak...

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly, a gleam of excitement in them, as she stared intently at the big boy in the basement.

Mu Zhian suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He noticed the dangerous look in his aloof senior sister's eyes, who had just been joking with him. He couldn't help but call out, "...Senior sister?"

Snapped.

Lan Mulian suddenly bent down slightly and gently tapped Mu Zhian's forehead. She knelt down, her white dress resembling a blooming snow lotus. She took Mu Zhian's hand, a faint smile on her face, and said softly:

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you, why are you staring at me so warily?"

The problem is, the way you're looking right now is like you want to eat someone alive... Mu Zhian mentally complained.

"By the way, since you, Senior Sister, possess the Heavenly Fate Sacred Body, perhaps you also have a way to see through the origins of this box?"

Mu Zhian quickly diverted Lan Mulian's attention and took out a small black box from his storage ring.

The black box left behind by the primordial witch was a mystery that even the world's most determined efforts could not unravel. Even when Mu Zhian opened it later, he only saw the items inside and never knew the secret of the black box itself.

He only vaguely knew that this black box could absorb the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Court.

Lan Mulian's attention was indeed drawn. She took the black box, looked it over a few times, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes: "Isn't this just an ordinary box?"

"Senior Sister, why don't you use your Heavenly Fate Sacred Body to try and see if you can see through its interior?" Mu Zhian suggested.

Lan Mulian closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, they were tinged with a captivating golden light.

When her gaze fell on the black box, Lan Mulian's expression gradually became serious, her initial casualness turning into a serious one.

Great, her attention has finally been diverted from me...

Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief as he watched this scene unfold.

He felt that if he continued the previous topic with Lan Mulian, it might escalate into the dangerous topic of "What does Junior Brother think of this little dark room?"

Let my senior sister try it out herself first...

boom!

Just as Mu Zhian was about to withdraw his gaze and quietly leave the basement, a wisp of black mist suddenly emerged from the black box in Lan Mulian's hand.

Mu Zhian was stunned.

Has the black box left behind by the Primordial Witch really been cracked by my senior sister?

Or perhaps, this black box reacted with my senior sister...?

Before Mu Zhian could react, the black mist emanating from the black box gradually filled the entire basement.

At the same time, a dark array lit up beneath Lan Mulian's feet.

"A teleportation array?!"

Mu Zhi'an's heart pounded wildly. He hurriedly reached through the black mist, grabbed Lan Mulian's hand, and pulled hard, trying to drag her out of the formation.

However, the formation was already complete. Enveloped in black mist, the extremely mysterious teleportation array was activated, directly transporting the two of them out of the basement.

pat.

The black box fell to the floor with a heavy thud.

……

boom!

Mu Zhian fell from mid-air and before he could even summon his flying sword, he landed directly in Lan Mulian's arms.

This bizarre teleportation array was activated for some unknown reason. He didn't even have time to pull Lan Mulian back; instead, he got himself caught in the trap.

"Where is this place...?"

After leaving Lan Mulian's embrace, Mu Zhian looked around. Everywhere was shrouded in mysterious and eerie black mist, and visibility was extremely low.

However, he could still barely make out the general outline of his surroundings.

This must be a deep abyss.

Above the abyss, there were stone bricks suspended in mid-air, moving slowly back and forth.

At the end of the abyss stood a palace, with ancient stone pillars rising on either side of its gates, piercing between heaven and earth.

Lan Mulian's beautiful eyes flickered with surprise as she said softly, "When I was analyzing that black box earlier, I sensed that there seemed to be a hidden world inside, so I sent out a wisp of my spiritual sense to explore it... It seems that I triggered some special mechanism here."

Mu Zhi'an's mind stirred slightly.

The cave in the black box—wasn't that the place the Primordial Witch brought him to back in the Martial World? Only back then he was inside the hall, and he never imagined that the outside of this cave would be arranged like this?

Now that we've inexplicably arrived in this cave, we can only continue forward and perhaps we can discover the true meaning behind the black box left behind by the Primordial Witch.

The two rode on their swords, stepping on the stone bricks floating above the abyss, heading towards the palace.

“Spiritual energy cannot be used in front of this abyss,” Lan Mulian suddenly said.

"No wonder such a mechanism was set up in the abyss. If it weren't for these stone bricks floating in mid-air, even a cultivator at the Void Returning Realm wouldn't be able to cross this abyss," Mu Zhian muttered to himself.

After nearly an incense stick's time, the two had crossed the abyss, and after another quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the palace gate.

Mu Zhian had expected that after pushing open the door, he would see the inner sanctum where he had first met the Primordial Witch in the black box.

But when he pushed open the long-sealed door, what appeared before him was light.

Soft white light.

Mu Zhian stared intently at the soft white light for a long time before letting out a long sigh and whispering, "...The Way of Heaven?"

This soft white light is exactly the same as the Heavenly Dao of Kyushu!

But soon, his attention was drawn to the figure enveloped in the white light.

Within the white light, a woman was curled up with her hands wrapped around her knees. Her semi-transparent black dress outlined her exquisite and taut figure, and her jade feet were crystal clear.

An arrow emitting a soft glow pierced her chest.

But Mu Zhian wasn't paying attention to those things; she was focused on her body itself.

"The original witch..."

After Mu Zhian whispered the person's identity, a huge question arose in his mind.

Without a doubt, she is the Primal Witch, there is no mistake.

However, the primordial witch's consciousness is not in this body, so where did her consciousness go?

Also, why is the Heavenly Dao of Kyushu also in this black box?

Mu Zhian's mind was racing with thoughts. Suddenly, he paused and subconsciously looked at the arrow that had pierced the heart of the Primordial Witch.

This arrow... isn't it the one he saw in his dream at Yaochi?

Because the arrow was aimed at him in his dream, Mu Zhian remembered its appearance very clearly.

"boom……"
