It turns out, they were the main characters.

"Enlightenment Realm? No... Your lifespan is exhausted. You were once at the Dao Integration Realm, but later you severed your resonance with the Heavenly Dao?"

The Immortal Lord remained indifferent, showing no concern for the wailing ants beneath his feet: "Very well, your blood essence alone is already a top-quality medicinal ingredient. Use your blood essence to exchange for the creatures of this region."

The old man's face showed anger. He was once a powerful figure, and even though his lifespan had dried up and he had fallen to the Enlightenment stage, it did not mean that he could be slaughtered at will.

His full head of white hair gradually turned black, his dry skin was rejuvenated, and his cultivation level was soaring.

"Burning your life essence like this will render your life worthless afterwards, and your descendants will have to pay for it," the Immortal Lord said coldly.

He kept his hands behind his back the whole time and never laid a hand on the old man, as if he regarded him as an ant.

This successfully enraged the old man, who unleashed his spiritual energy and delivered a powerful punch to the Immortal Lord.

However, at that moment, behind the old man, a golden shackle silently coiled around him, the lock piercing through his body, gripping his heart, and then the shackle tightened.

boom!

The old man's body almost shattered in that instant. Although it recovered immediately in the next moment, his breathing was noticeably disordered.

"I forgot to tell you, you used to cultivate and comprehend the Dao of Heaven, right? Attacking me is equivalent to defying the Sabbath of the Dao of Heaven, which will bring misfortune upon you, and the rules of Heaven and Earth will also bind you."

The Immortal Lord spoke with a faint smile, about to casually suppress the demon.

However, at that moment, a silver figure that seemed to tear through the void suddenly flashed before his eyes. The figure vanished in an instant, but his reaction was equally swift. A hint of amusement quickly appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:

"Spirit Dragon?"

The spirit dragon's incantation didn't actually travel directly to its destination; rather, it tore through the void to arrive. Encountering her here is quite unexpected...

Although the Word of Power can make the Spirit Dragon arrive at the Two Elements Sect instantly, it is ultimately a means of tearing through the void. Although the teleportation speed is extremely fast, it is still possible for a powerful being of the same Dao Integration Realm to detect the Spirit Dragon's movements.

The next moment, the Immortal Lord raised his hand, transformed into a black figure, and also disappeared into the void.

……

Yaochi Sacred Land.

"Is Yao Meng not in the Jade Pool Sacred Land?"

Mu Zhian, who had just arrived at the sacred land of Yaochi, immediately received this news from the Queen Mother of Yaochi.

"The Holy Maiden visited Yaochi yesterday and left shortly afterward," the Queen Mother of Yaochi explained.

"Does the Queen Mother know where she went?" Mu Zhian asked.

The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool slowly shook her head: "The Holy Maiden's whereabouts have always been mysterious, and she has never informed us."

She guessed, "But the Sabbath has only just begun, so maybe she went to Liangyi Peak."

On the Sabbath, the rules of heaven and earth will affect cultivators who comprehend the Dao of Heaven, but cultivators of the heavens will not be affected.

If there really is someone in this world who can rewrite the rules of heaven and earth, then most cultivators would probably think of the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect in the Eastern Continent.

Perhaps... she has a way to temporarily rewrite the rules of heaven and earth.

Mu Zhian understood slightly and was about to say goodbye when he suddenly heard a female disciple's hurried voice from outside the hall.

"Queen Mother!"

The female disciple had just entered the hall when she saw Mu Zhi'an, and hesitated for a moment.

"Speak your mind directly, young friend Mu is no outsider," said the Queen Mother of the West.

The female disciple hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "A cultivator just said he saw the spirit dragon being attacked and it seems to have been taken away."

"You can't just say things like that. Senior Linglong is a powerful being at the Dao Integration Realm. Who in this world could take her away?!"

The Queen Mother of the Jade Pool gave a light rebuke and subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhi'an.

“It’s absolutely true! That cultivator escaped from the vicinity of the Martial Realm by sheer luck. He died shortly after encountering the disciples of Yaochi due to the loss of his essence and blood. It is said that he witnessed the horrific scenes along the way,” the female disciple said.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded slightly and said, "You may leave now."

After the female disciple withdrew, the Queen Mother of Yaochi's gaze unconsciously fell on Mu Zhi'an, and she said worriedly, "Young friend Mu, now is not the time to make a move. When the Holy Maiden came before, she also instructed us not to leave Yaochi... You—"

"I know what I'm doing, so Your Majesty can rest assured." Mu Zhi'an nodded slightly.

The Queen Mother of the West was slightly relieved.

She knew that Linglong had helped Mu Zhian a lot in the past, but on the Sabbath, the rules of heaven and earth were clearly in favor of 'Heaven'.

If Mu Zhian were to get into trouble, the Azure Emperor would not stand idly by.

To oppose the Sabbath is to oppose the Way of Heaven. If all kinds of misfortunes befall one, even a Dao Integration Realm cultivator cannot withstand it.

That would truly be a major upheaval.

Mu Zhian bid farewell to the Queen Mother of the West and arrived at the 'little dark room' where he had previously lived.

Ye Qingxin was inside the innate furnace. She had clearly been listening to the sounds outside. She hesitated for a moment, about to speak.

But at that moment, Mu Zhi'an's voice came first in my mind: "Sister Ye, do you still plan to descend upon Kyushu?"

"Now that the Sabbath is approaching, everyone is trying to protect themselves. If you wish, I can wait until after the Sabbath to guide your true form to descend."

Ye Qingxin raised her red eyes slightly and said calmly, "Let's begin now."

"The Sabbath is not aimed at powerful beings in the Dao Integration Realm, but at the fortune of the Nine Provinces and some of the living beings in the Nine Provinces."

She paused, a faint smile curving her lips: "Besides, if I were to descend in my true form later, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the face to stay by your side."

Mu Zhian was silent for a moment: "I will now try to bring your true form down."

He opened the incredibly heavy ancient coffin, then lay down inside and closed his eyes.

Mu Zhian felt as if his body was floating on clouds. The next moment, he appeared in the Heavenly Court with Ye Qingxin's wisp of her spiritual consciousness.

"Sister Ye, can you sense your true form now?" Mu Zhian asked.

Ye Qingxin appeared beside Mu Zhian, her eyes slightly closed.

After a short while, a woman dressed in a black and red dress appeared in sight from the depths of the misty Heavenly Court gate.

She possessed unparalleled beauty, and her body faintly emanated terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations. Layer upon layer of firelight enveloped her, making her truly resemble a witch in flames, radiant and captivating, yet utterly awe-inspiring.

The two clones silently merged into one, her hair flying, and wisps of firelight scattered outwards.

A red dot between her brows added a touch of alluring charm.

The next moment, Ye Qingxin slowly opened her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to hold a calm yet dangerous light.

Although she was at the Dao Integration stage, she had always been in the Heavenly Court. Ye Qingxin's cauldron had already expanded to its limit, making her no ordinary Dao Integration cultivator. No wonder she exuded such an amazing aura.

Mu Zhian raised his head slightly, looking at the ancient Heavenly Court that was boundless and desolate, as if confirming something: "According to the rules of the Heavenly Court, I will descend the Path to Immortality after this. As long as Sister Ye walks along the Path to Immortality, she will be able to descend upon the Nine Provinces."

"Are you planning to head to the Sabbath's spaceship location now?" Ye Qingxin suddenly asked.

"Sister Ye, don't you believe me?" Mu Zhian asked with a gentle smile.

Ye Qingxin remained silent.

Back when the Azure Emperor ascended to heaven at Yaochi, although she went to places like Yuzhou, she still heard about Mu Zhian killing two Dao Integration Realm experts.

If he could descend upon the Nine Provinces as the Lord of Heaven, he could indeed quickly resolve the troubles in the Eastern Continent.

"Sister Ye, please go down to the mortal realm first," Mu Zhian said.

“I am different from you. For me, returning to Kyushu is just a thought away, so I can wait a little longer.”

Ye Qingxin gave Mu Zhian a meaningful look before finally nodding silently.

Turning around, I walked down the ascension staircase that had appeared out of nowhere.

Mu Zhian walked slowly forward to the throne of the Heavenly Court, and then casually asked, "Yuanluo, how long will it take you to replace the Heavenly Dao?"

"It's not the right time yet. The fortune accumulated by Heaven is not something I can shake now."

In the empty hall, the melodious voice of the white-haired loli could be heard.

She put her hands behind her back, looked Mu Zhian up and down, and said, "I overheard your conversation with her just now, but now is not the time to expose me, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."

"Do not worry."

Mu Zhian gently stroked the throne of the Heavenly Court, his eyelids slightly lowered, and golden light flowed in his eyes.

"I know what I'm doing."

……

In the ancient Pantheon, the Supreme Dragon sat high on his throne, looking down indifferently at the audience below:

"Why are you back so soon? Is there something you need to report?"

The Immortal Lord did not answer, but simply raised his fingertip. Behind him, a ray of silver light flashed, followed by a loud bang, and a giant silver dragon immediately rushed out of the temple.

However, there seemed to be some kind of invisible formation in the temple, which the spirit dragon could not break through no matter how hard it struggled.

"Spirit Dragon?"

For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in Wanlong Supreme's indifferent eyes: "You actually caught her so quickly?"

"Aaaaa——!!!"

The song of a spirit dragon echoed from within the palace. Even though she was bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, she still exuded a terrifying aura, causing the entire palace to shake violently.

The Supreme Dragon King's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked with some surprise and uncertainty, "She must have attacked you just now, which is why she was restricted as a furnace by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, right?"

"Even though she is restricted by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, she still possesses such spiritual energy... She truly deserves to be called the daughter of the Great Dao."

The Supreme Dragon King exclaimed in surprise, clearly somewhat astonished.

Because the spirit dragon should be restricted by the rules of heaven and earth at this moment, yet the aura it is currently emitting is still incredibly astonishing.

The next moment, the spirit dragon slightly opened its mouth, seemingly wanting to use the power of words to leave this place.

However, the sound of countless shackles seemed to be heard in the void, forcefully restricting the power of words.

—The rules of heaven and earth.

The dragon, whose size nearly occupied most of the palace, let out an angry roar, causing the spiritual consciousness of many alien cultivators in the palace to be almost instantly obliterated.

The Supreme Dragon King's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately clasped his hands together. An array appeared out of thin air in the palace, and his blood dripped into the array.

The array lit up silently, and the terrifying aura from before finally subsided. The enormous silver figure gradually shrank until it finally transformed into a silver-haired beauty with the body of a young girl.

The formation further restricted Lin Ling, and the silver-haired beauty's usually innocent eyes now held barely concealed anger. She was still holding the meat bun that Mu Zhi'an had just given her.
