It turns out, they were the main characters.

Ye Lingxuan smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Mu seems to have been away from the sect for quite some time. How about we go out for a walk together?"

“He just finished refining his spirit and returned to the void, and he also just destroyed a spaceship. He has been greatly exhausted. Let him rest today,” Yao Meng said softly with a faint smile.

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly. Although she was a little reluctant, she could only nod gently: "Then Brother Mu, please rest well today. Qian'er and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Mu Zhian hummed in agreement and reached out to ruffle Ye Lingxuan's and Ye Qian's hair.

Although his body was not tired from his efforts to break through to the Void Returning Realm these past few days, his mind was somewhat weary, and he definitely needed to rest.

Yao Meng glanced at the two sisters subtly, then looked at Mu Zhian without making it obvious, her eyes flashing.

She pursed her lips slightly, a pleased smile curving her lips.

……

After bidding farewell to the others, Mu Zhian dragged his tired body into the house where Lan Mulian used to live.

My senior sister's room was very tidy and had a faint, cool fragrance that seemed to match her natural body scent.

Mu Zhian sat cross-legged in front of the bed, not immediately entering a meditative state, but instead began to recall the events of the past few days.

The Heavenly Dao's actions are becoming increasingly obvious. Although it is indeed powerful, its urgency means that it has fewer and fewer trump cards left.

The rules of heaven and earth are established by the Heavenly Dao, but to rewrite the rules of heaven and earth, one needs the approval of the three paths of heaven, earth, and humanity... That's why the Heavenly Dao tries to exploit loopholes in the rules, allowing the Sabbath to arrive early, attempting to erase certain things and maintain its position in the Nine Provinces.

The cultivators in the Nine Provinces believe in the Heavenly Dao because many powerful beings in the Dao Integration Realm choose to merge with the Heavenly Dao, thus many cultivators have a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

Once the beings in the Nine Provinces realize that the Dao-merging powerhouse has severed its resonance with the Heavenly Dao, it will shake the Heavenly Dao's position in the Nine Provinces.

When the time is right... the Iris will be able to replace the Heavenly Dao.

Thinking about it carefully, after I return to the Void Realm, should I go find Luo Tan...? And also test her thoughts.

As Mu Zhian pondered, he was about to gather his thoughts and enter a meditative state.

Just then, the door was silently pushed open from the outside.

The fairy in the green dress gracefully pushed open the door and entered the room.

Now, Yao Meng, who has reached the Feather Transformation Realm, has a much stronger aura than before, and her appearance and even her temperament are more radiant and captivating than ever before.

Although the light blue dress completely covered her delicate body, it could not hide her exquisite and curvaceous figure.

"Yao Meng, what brings you here?"

Mu Zhian asked subconsciously, but his gaze never left her.

The tall, aloof beauty casually closed the door behind her, her long, black hair cascading down her back, looking slightly disheveled and languid.

It was just a glimpse of his back, yet it sparked endless imagination.

Mu Zhian subconsciously swallowed. Although he had experienced a lot with this fairy, he still had new experiences every time he saw her.

The First Seat of the Heavenly Court possesses a 'divinity' unmatched by any other great power in the Nine Provinces. Coupled with the path she has chosen, this makes her stunningly beautiful face appear incomparably holy.

"Can't I come in?"

Yao Meng leaned against the door, her beautiful eyes, which should have been pure and compassionate, now filled with tender affection as she stared intently at Mu Zhi'an, alluring and captivating.

In fact, Yao Meng had already become somewhat impatient when she was playing chess with Shang Yanfei in the back mountain.

After Mu Zhian refined his spirit and returned to emptiness, his aura underwent many changes... becoming even more alluring.

Moreover, the thought of Gong Lianyue, who was in seclusion, and Ye Lingxuan and the others whom she had just sent away, filled her with even more pleasure.

Upon seeing Mu Zhian, that feeling of joy instantly transformed into love.

She saw Mu Zhian cough lightly and say, "It's not that, it's just that you just told me to get some rest..."

A faint smile flickered in Yao Meng's eyes. She tilted her head slightly and caught the boy's gaze drifting towards her.

Before Mu Zhian could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.

Because she saw Yao Meng gracefully walk to the bedside, and then, under Mu Zhian's increasingly ardent gaze, obediently kneel before the bed.

The only one in the Nine Provinces to reach the Feathered Realm, a fairy in the eyes of the world who is pure and flawless, is looking up at him with tenderness.

She placed her delicate hand on the back of Mu Zhian's hand and raised her eyelids.

"have a good rest……?"

In those gentle, moist eyes, a captivating allure mingled with innocence and desire, she braced herself on the bed, leaned close to Mu Zhi'an's ear, and softly whispered in her moist, sweet voice:

Are you sure?

Chapter 456 The Legacy of the Ye Clan 5K

The next day, early morning.

Mu Zhian woke up early, and his mental state was quite good. After refining his spirit and returning to the void, not only did his innate furnace become much stronger, but his own furnace also became much more powerful, opening up ten 'grotto heavens'.

"Whether it's the Refining Spirit Realm or the Returning to Emptiness Realm, there's only one furnace and cauldron. But after reaching the Returning to Emptiness Realm, ten grotto-heavens can be opened up within the furnace and cauldron, and each grotto-heaven is equivalent to a furnace and cauldron... No wonder people say that the difference between the Refining Spirit Realm and the Returning to Emptiness Realm is like heaven and earth. It would be strange if the gap wasn't huge."

Mu Zhian yawned lazily and stood by the clothes rack changing his robes.

"After reaching the Void Returning Realm, ten grotto-heavens can be merged into one large grotto-heaven. Although you haven't achieved that level yet, it shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Yao Meng licked her lips, sat on the edge of the bed, and casually combed the strands of hair that fell over her snow-white shoulders, her tone soft and gentle.

“I’ve heard before that after reaching the Void Return Realm, the difference in strength between each grade is enormous. What exactly is the difference?” Mu Zhian picked up the blue dress that was hanging on the clothes rack, returned to Yao Meng’s side, and handed it to her.

Noticing the boy's fixed gaze, Yao Meng's lips curled into a faint smile. The next moment, she was enveloped in a hazy, ethereal mist, her snow-white skin shimmering with tiny, crystalline glows.

"Damn holy light..." Mu Zhian glanced at it, but could only vaguely see a graceful figure in the hazy fairy mist, and could not get a clear look at it.

“Starting from the fourth grade of Returning to the Void, there will be huge differences between each grade. The seventh grade of Returning to the Void is also called ‘Penetrating the Void’. When you reach the Penetrating Void, you can control the laws of space to a certain extent. If you have consumed the Enlightenment Seed in the past, your strength will far exceed that of an ordinary Returning to the Void.”

"Is this the Enlightenment Seed that you gave me in the Temple of Pilgrimage?" Mu Zhian asked thoughtfully.

He had already given away most of the Enlightenment Seeds he obtained in the Temple of Pilgrimage, and the fish were developing quite well.

"The Enlightenment Seed contains the Dao of my Jade Pool, or rather, it contains the Dao essence of my Dao. If the person who refines it can grasp one or two tenths of that Dao essence, then the Enlightenment Seed will not have been wasted."

Yao Meng picked up a hairpin and gathered up her cascading hair that was draped over her back. She had a pure and holy air about her, but her face was flushed with an intoxicating blush, revealing a touch of languid worldliness.

Mu Zhian pinched her waist and pressed himself close to her, letting out a soft sigh of regret: "It's a pity I can't refine the Enlightenment Seed."

He had tried to refine the Enlightenment Seed before, but it was inexplicably absorbed by the Natural Furnace.

Yao Meng gently pushed the boy away, straightened her elaborate blue dress, and then glared at him reproachfully: "We still have to go back to Yaochi later, don't mess up my dress again."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "The so-called Enlightenment Seed is actually a rare and precious material obtained from the tribulation of lightning. However, the Enlightenment Seed contains the path that the person undergoing the tribulation will follow, but my path is not particularly suitable for you."

"However, even if it's not suitable, if you refer to the paths that other cultivators have walked in the past, you might be able to find your own path."

Mu Zhian is a Chaos Body, and his physical constitution, innate spiritual body, and divine destiny body all come from the people around him. Therefore, when he 'enlightens' in the future, the Dao he comprehends will definitely be completely different from any other cultivator.

He can choose to follow one of his physical constitutions, or he can choose multiple constitutions and try to combine them to achieve the Way of Chaos.

"It's a pity I never took the Enlightenment Seed." Mu Zhian sighed softly. He was somewhat regretful, but not remorseful.

After all, he had already set his sights on passing on the enlightenment to the girl beside him.

Making them stronger is, in a sense, also making him stronger.

Yao Meng glanced at him, a playful smile on her beautiful face: "If you are interested in the Daoist essence of my Yaochi, I have a way to let you experience it even without the Enlightenment Seed."

"Enlightenment Seeds are indeed rare, with only a few having a chance of being produced during a tribulation of lightning. However, if a Dao-merging expert is willing, they can share their Dao essence with others."

Mu Zhian asked with some interest, "If that's the case, why haven't you mentioned this matter before?"

Yao Meng crossed her delicate, beautiful legs beneath her light blue dress, her fair, translucent feet gleaming with a light, jelly-like nail polish. She teased, "Under normal circumstances, who would be willing to share their Daoist essence with others? Especially since sharing requires taking a portion of the other person's spiritual energy."

Mu Zhian was taken aback, pondering Yao Meng's words.

He seemed to have thought of something, and looked up, saying, "What you mean by extracting spiritual energy is..."

Yao Meng's red lips curled slightly, forming a faint arc, and her alluring blue eyes stared intently at Mu Zhi'an: "I can give you as much as you want."

"but--"

Her tone suddenly changed, and she lightly touched her full red lips with her fingertip, saying teasingly, "You'll have to take care of the process yourself."

……

In the afternoon, the spring sunshine shone on the Liangyi Temple, which is full of ancient beauty.

Mu Zhian, supporting his back, slowly walked out of his senior sister's room and strolled along the path toward the back mountain courtyard, his steps unsteady.

At that moment, only one thought occupied his mind: "Oh no, I've been tricked..."

Last night, I was blinded by Yao Meng's 'plea for mercy' and thought that now that I had returned to the Void Realm, I could really suppress her.

It wasn't until this morning, during the daytime announcement, that he realized Yao Meng was just teasing him.

The Human Emperor at the Feather Transformation Realm possesses an almost inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy, his body experiences no fatigue, and even his mental strength is unprecedentedly powerful.

If Yao Meng wanted to, she could destroy a person's consciousness using only her mental power.

Such a powerful empress would naturally not experience any kind of 'exhaustion'.

However, judging from her expression, she was indeed satisfied yesterday... and she even begged him for mercy.

Well, in a sense, he won.

"It's not my fault, she's just too good at it..."

Mu Zhian sighed, feeling the 'authority' bestowed upon him by Yao Meng flowing through his body.

The Daoist essence of Yaochi, or rather, the Daoist essence that Yao Meng has accumulated to this point, is currently flowing within his furnace.

If he can understand even a little bit of it, it will be of great help to his future enlightenment.

Mu Zhian followed the path in a cheerful mood and found the silver-haired beauty who was idly lounging in the back mountains.

Hey, my Ling'er seems to have matured a lot. I guess it's my doing... This thought popped into Mu Zhi'an's mind.

Before her thoughts could linger, Lin Ling noticed Mu Zhi'an's wicked intentions and wrote in her notebook: "Don't think about bad things."

"Why don't I see Sect Leader Sister?" Mu Zhi'an asked with a smile as he came to her side.

"She went to study chess, apparently because she almost lost to the Azure Emperor today," Lin Ling wrote in her notebook.

I remember Yao Meng not playing chess much. Could it be that I'm not realizing it, but she's actually very good at chess, and she even almost beat the sect leader...?

But that's not important, since Mu Zhian didn't come to see Lin Ling today about the sect leader.
