It turns out, they were the main characters.

For Mu Zhian, there was naturally no feeling of 'unease' or anything like that. He just didn't want to get into trouble. After all, with so many people around, it was inevitable that some would think it was inappropriate for a member of the Mu family to enter the 'Ye Clan Ancient Road' together.

"It's alright. In a sense, you are half a member of the Ye family, and so is Lingxuan. You don't need to be uneasy."

Ye Qingxin gently shook her head. Her black and red dress accentuated her stunning beauty, and she spoke in a gentle tone as if she were being taught by an elder.

"Then I'll wait for you outside the Ye Clan's territory for a while," Mu Zhian said.

“Alright, I’ll go take a look at the Ye Clan, and then I’ll take the three of you to the ancient Ye Clan road.”

Ye Qingxin didn't force the issue and spoke gently.

Shortly afterward, she returned to the Ye Clan in Tianxuan City with Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan.

Mu Zhian was waiting outside.

Even without thinking, it's obvious that this must have caused a huge uproar inside, after all, the Ye Clan once had a Dao-Merging expert, which was beyond the imagination of any elder.

With such a powerful figure, even if the Ye Clan is in decline, it can rise again in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, once the Ancient Path of Dao Integration is opened, every member of the Ye Clan will be able to set foot on it in the future. Even if they cannot completely and smoothly pass through the Ancient Path, it will still be of great benefit to them.

Half an hour later.

Ye Qingxin moved gracefully, leading Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian out of the Ye Clan. Behind them, many elders and clansmen followed closely, each with a respectful and excited expression.

"Let's go. This trip shouldn't take too long. I'll take you back to your sect afterward." Ye Qingxin's gaze fell on Mu Zhian, her voice was clear and cold, but her bewitching red eyes held a tenderness.

After saying that, she raised her fingertips, and a crimson-gold array appeared under the feet of the group.

Not only Mu Zhian and the others, but also the three girls from the Ye clan had arrays lit up beneath their feet.

They are now at the peak of Qi Refining and want to experience what it's like to fight against their ancestors.

As for the elders of the Ye clan, their spiritual power was exhausted, making it impossible for them to set foot on the ancient path. Therefore, they could only send their granddaughters to train.

Teleportation array...?

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly. He could sense that the space around them was distorting, and they were no longer in Tianxuan City.

"This ancient path to the Dao was created by several elders of the Ye Clan. The person who can open it must be a descendant of the first generation of elders, and the minimum requirement to open it is the Returning to the Void Realm."

Ye Qingxin's hair was loose, and her tone was tinged with regret: "It's just a pity that when the rules of heaven and earth changed drastically, not a single person in the Ye clan even appeared in the Void Returning Realm."

As she explained, she looked up and said, "We've arrived."

hum!

With a spatial fluctuation, a passage soon appeared in the three people's field of vision.

This world looks like it's in the cosmos, with no living creatures in sight. Only a woman dressed in black and red stands quietly at the end of the ancient road ahead.

"This is……"

Mu Zhian glanced at Ye Qingxin subconsciously.

The woman at the end of this ancient road looked exactly like Ye Qingxin.

"This is a wisp of my spiritual consciousness that I left on this ancient road in the past. Her cultivation level will be the same as that of the Ye Clan descendant who receives the inheritance. As long as you can withstand ten rounds from her, you can successfully pass through this ancient road and obtain the Ye Clan's inheritance."

Ye Qingxin said, "All of you are welcome to try. Mu Xiaoyou and I will wait here for your good news."

There were always tiny sparks on her body, and her figure was very blurry, as if she were in another world, and her cultivation was unfathomable.

Ye Lingxuan seemed somewhat surprised and looked at the woman beside her.

"But I am a restricted area..."

"The forbidden zone originally belonged to the Ye clan, so you don't need to feel uneasy. If you can pass this test, it will be of great help to your future as well."

With a gentle voice, Ye Qingxin looked at Ye Lingxuan with a smile on her face.

Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian exchanged a glance, and finally said very respectfully, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Ancestor."

The three girls beside her also bowed respectfully to Ye Qingxin.

……

At the entrance to the Ancient Path of Harmony, after watching several descendants of the Ye Clan step onto the ancient path together, Mu Zhian was finally able to turn his attention to Ye Qingxin.

Without a doubt, this beautiful ancestor of the Ye family was indeed a stunningly beautiful and sexy woman.

Although he had targeted Mu Zhian a few times in the past, it was all to stand up for the descendants of the Ye clan, so Mu Zhian naturally didn't mind.

After all, if she hadn't stood up for the Ye clan's descendants, he wouldn't have had much of a chance to get close to Ye Qingxin, let alone play some fun little games with her in private.

"It will probably take them at least half a month to set foot on the ancient road. During this time, you can meditate and cultivate in front of this ancient road. Although the spiritual energy here is not as rich as that in the Heavenly Court, it is still much richer than that outside."

With the air of an elder giving advice, Ye Qingxin admonished the boy beside her.

"Does Sister Ye think they can pass this assessment?" Mu Zhian asked.

"Even if they fail, it will still be of great benefit to their future cultivation," Ye Qingxin said calmly.

Ultimately, defeating that wisp of her clone is virtually impossible, even if they are at the same level. Their combat experience and the richness of their cultivation techniques are far beyond what the Ye sisters can match.

"Sister Ye won't let me try?" Mu Zhian asked.

"When members of the Feiye Clan embark on this ancient path, they will not face clones of similar strength, but rather clones at their peak strength."

Ye Qingxin said with a smile, "If you are confident that you can defeat my clone, you can also try it together."

"Then forget it." Mu Zhian smiled nonchalantly, not feeling any regret.

He reached out and naturally embraced the beauty in the black and red dress. Looking up at the ancient road ahead, a scroll appeared before him, clearly showing the Ye clan members fighting against the clones left behind by Ye Qingxin in the past.

The battle was so brutal that it was practically a one-sided massacre.

Although Ye Qingxin's cultivation level was somewhat suppressed, it can only be said that your ancestor is still your ancestor.

Her aura was simply too overwhelming. Her body was surrounded by crimson-gold flames with black flames, making her look like a witch in fire. Her aura alone was enough to suppress the descendants of the Ye clan.

Ye Qian activated the Purifying Lotus. When she opened her beautiful eyes, a faint green light flowed around her, and strands of Dao light overflowed from the Purifying Lotus, as if it could suppress all things in the world. With every move she made, the Purifying Lotus seemed to contain the principles of heaven and earth.

However, the next moment, Ye Qingxin's figure disappeared in front of Ye Qian. The Pure World Lotus could not capture her figure. The next moment, the firelight had completely engulfed Ye Qian.

Then, in the next moment, Ye Qian, who had been engulfed by the flames, reappeared in front of the ancient road.

She must re-embark on the trial of fighting her ancestors until her spiritual power is completely exhausted, or until she gives up on the trial herself.

On the other side, Ye Lingxuan faced the same predicament. The Lock of Desolate Time rewrote time, blocking Ye Qingxin's movements. However, before that, a massive firestorm was already approaching from mid-air.

This power was so terrifying that even Mu Zhian was startled: "No wonder Sister Ye thought they couldn't defeat your clone."

Even though Ye Qingxin's clone's realm could suppress it, their aura, techniques, and experience were not on the same level.

"This clone, or rather, this wisp of spiritual consciousness, was left behind when I ascended to the Heavenly Court. But both the cultivation techniques and the experience are completely connected to my current true body," Ye Qingxin said quietly.

"How much they can get from the ancient road depends on Qian'er and the others."

"Can't we let them win or something? If they win, they can go further on this ancient road and gain more, right?" Mu Zhian asked.

Ye Qingxin chuckled softly: "I wasn't the only one who opened this ancient path of the Ye Clan. It was set up by several first-generation elders together, with the purpose of enabling future generations of the Ye Clan to cultivate diligently in order to pass through this ancient path."

"Besides, I myself cannot control the strength of that clone."

As Ye Qingxin finished speaking, she looked up at the clansmen who were being defeated by her clones in the distance, and her gaze quickly settled on Ye Qian.

"The Pure Lotus of Purity, I heard that even the Azure Emperor can only choose one disciple to pass on his teachings to, but I never expected that she would choose Qian'er."

Mu Zhian said, "Back then, Yao Meng thought that her spiritual consciousness was about to dissipate into the world, and Qian'er was compatible with her, so she chose Qian'er as her disciple."

Ye Qingxin narrowed her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Compatibility...? Could it be that Qian'er, like the Azure Emperor, also likes green..."

This is an area where my knowledge is lacking... Mu Zhian pondered for a moment: "Then should we wait for them here?"

He wrapped his arm around Ye Qingxin's voluptuous waist, turned to look at the tall, sexy mature woman, and said softly, "Should we go somewhere else?"

Ye Qingxin's composure crumbled instantly, her calm demeanor vanished, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she glared at him, her tone carrying a hint of elder's admonition:

"It will take them at least half a month to leave this ancient road. During this time, you can cultivate here... but don't cause any trouble. If their spirits can't hold up, they will be automatically teleported here. If they find you or me..."

"So what? I believe that Lingxuan and the others' mental strength is not that weak."

Mu Zhian shrugged: "Besides, I don't mind if they know about this, but does Sister Ye mind that much?"

Ye Qingxin's usually elegant demeanor was now tinged with helplessness as she softly said, "I am, after all, their ancestor. If I were to truly be with you... how would I face them in the future?"

Are we supposed to tell them: "I like Brother Mu just as much as you do, so why don't you two sisters be a little more considerate of your elder?"

Mu Zhian ran one hand down her waist and laughed, "If Sister Ye is so worried, you can find an opportunity to test their thoughts next time. I think Sister Lingxuan and the others won't mind, and might even be happy to."

Ye Qingxin frowned slightly.

She had actually considered this matter many times before, but she could never get past her own conscience.

"If I remember correctly, Sister Ye also resonated with the Heavenly Dao back then, right? Since you've been in the Heavenly Court for so long, why don't you consider severing your own Dao and resonating with the new Heavenly Dao?" Mu Zhi'an suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxin shook her head and sighed softly: "Back when I resonated with the Heavenly Dao, I was unaware that the Heavenly Dao was different. Now, if I want to sever my own Dao and reunite with it, it's equivalent to starting a new life. The difficulty is simply too great, and—"

"Hmm~ Didn't I just tell you not to mess around on this ancient road? If you mess around again, I'll suppress you on this ancient road for ten days or half a month, so you can have some peace and quiet."

Ye Qingxin's delicate body trembled slightly. She covered her mouth, bit her red lips, and tried her best to avoid making a sweet, nasal sound. Then she quickly became angry and embarrassed.

"I've done almost everything with Sister Ye before, except for the last step. Why is she so shy when it comes to the real body?" Mu Zhian muttered silently, withdrawing his hand.

He suddenly noticed that in the scroll before the ancient road, Ye Qingxin's clone, who was originally as flawless as a flame witch, suddenly trembled slightly in her legs and blushed on her cheeks when she fought with the descendants of the Ye clan.

Mu Zhian subconsciously glanced at the sexy, tall beauty beside him.

Could it be... that Sister Ye's true form's feelings will be synchronized with her clone in the ancient road?

“Actually, if you resonate with the new Heavenly Dao, you don’t need to sever your own Dao, because the new Heavenly Dao can directly replace the Heavenly Dao, allowing you to resonate with it,” Mu Zhian said calmly.

Ye Qingxin was skeptical and said, "How could that be?"

“The rules of the Heavenly Court are different from the rules of Heaven and Earth. In the Heavenly Court, I decide on the rules. Sister Ye, you can trust me,” Mu Zhian said.

Ye Qingxin stared at Mu Zhian in shock, unsure of what to say.

Is there really anyone who can do that?

At this moment, Mu Zhian reached out and held Ye Qingxin's small hand tightly again. Then, in the next instant, Ye Qingxin suddenly felt a seductive aura emanating from him.

Immediately afterwards, the handsome young man beside her began to experience a gradual reversal of time, as if his body was flowing back to the past.

"Sister Ye, don't you want to be with me forever?" Mu Zhi'an looked up at her, his voice incredibly gentle, but his eyes held a captivating allure that could drive any woman crazy.

With her powerful abilities, Ye Qingxin could naturally resist, but seeing the young man in front of her in this state, she couldn't take her eyes off him. She subconsciously swallowed, her cheeks flushed as if she were drunk.
