It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, that's where it ends!

"I'd like to see just how much 'Dao' you have left to resist the Purifying Lotus."

As soon as she saw the sword intent surging from Mu Wanwan's body, Yao Meng immediately raised her fingertips, and the Pure World Lotus behind her bloomed like a peacock spreading its tail. The fifth Pure World Lotus crashed down, shaking the heavens and earth!

However, when the fifth beam of the Pure Lotus shone upon Mu Wanwan, an enormous cauldron appeared above her head. The cauldron was decorated with bronze patterns and appeared to be covered in rust, yet it emitted a radiance no less than that of an ancestral artifact, quietly neutralizing the Pure Lotus's attack.

Yao Meng's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, but this time, she did not attack Mu Wanwan again.

In this world, it is impossible for any Dao Integration Realm cultivator to have reached the end of multiple different Daos.

There was only one exception.

Yao Meng silently put away the Pure Lotus that had been blooming behind her.

She gazed at the woman in the black robe with a complex expression, and said softly:

"...So it was you."

……

……

[The idea of ​​a clone being exiled in a web novel is clearly a problematic element, but it becomes harmless once the gender is reversed, isn't that strange? (laughs)]

Chapter 464 Mu Zhian: It's over, there are still some who escaped the net...

Generally speaking, the pinnacle of this world is the Dao Integration Realm. Cultivators who can reach the end of this path naturally possess immense strength, talent, and fortune, needless to say.

However, to break through the limits of a cultivator and resonate with the Dao, a crucial factor is needed: self-confidence.

They firmly believe that their own "Tao" is invincible.

Without such confidence, most cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm will eventually be struck by the Heavenly Tribulation and begin to doubt their existence. Once their Dao heart wavers, they will inevitably perish in the Heavenly Tribulation and become nourishment for the Nine Provinces.

Normally, a monk will only follow one path to the end.

Just like Mu Zhian's 'body tempering', the end of his path is the God of War.

The path that the Azure Emperor cultivated first required purifying the mind, and then she could purify all things in the world. Therefore, the symbol of her final union with the Dao was the Pure Lotus.

Gong Lianyue is a rather special case. In her previous life, she followed the path of "breaking all laws with one sword". When she merged with the Dao, she cultivated sword intent. Any ordinary plain sword in this world would have power in her hands that is only slightly weaker than that of an ancestral weapon.

In Bai Ruoxi's lifetime, she gained another path of 'bewitching', namely the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox body.

In short, no matter who you are, you will usually only follow one path to the end.

however……

This was the first time Yao Meng had seen such a strange woman since she had attained enlightenment.

This woman has reached the end of all nine different paths of the Two Elements Sect's Nine Peaks Techniques: alchemy, weapon spirit, sword intent, natural principles, and divination of heavenly secrets, and has successfully passed through the heavenly tribulations in each one.

The path to enlightenment is inherently difficult; a single misstep can turn one into nothingness.

This is because the tribulation of the Dao Integration Realm is far beyond people's imagination. In the past, there have been countless examples of Dao Enlightenment cultivators who attempted to break through to the Dao Integration Realm, only to die unwillingly in the tribulation.

Logically speaking, Heaven should not allow the existence of an 'outlier' like Mu Wanwan. If all nine paths are aligned with the Dao, it means that there will be no 'Dao-aligned powerhouse' for nine whole lifetimes.

"You are very strong. You probably have mastered more than just four different paths. You have cultivated all nine peak techniques to their fullest potential."

Yao Meng parted her red lips slightly, but her eyes remained serene.

She gave people a very special feeling; both her celestial body and voice were hazy and indistinct. One could only vaguely see her graceful figure in the thin mist, but not clearly.

The enchanting music captivated the soul.

However, the moment she finished speaking, the Blue Clan elders in front of the ancestral land were stunned for a moment, and looked up at this messenger of the 'Sabbath' with disbelief.

They felt that this woman was going too far.

Is this within the scope of what a 'human' can do?

Countless cultivators in the Nine Provinces have gone to great lengths to achieve the Dao, but in the end, they all inevitably end up heartbroken. Yet this woman actually brought all nine different Daos to their limits.

It should be understood that in order to achieve Dao, one must be steadfast and unwavering in one's own Dao. The fact that she was able to complete all nine peak techniques to the end means that she was unwavering in her belief in the Dao of the Nine Peaks of the Two Elements Sect and firmly believed that she could achieve Dao through all nine paths.

It's not that merging nine paths makes her invincible, but at the very least, her methods will be more unpredictable and unpredictable than any powerful being, making them impossible to defend against.

"No wonder you have the audacity to mock me in front of me."

Yao Meng spoke softly again, her figure completely shrouded in celestial mist, making it difficult to see her face. However, the more shrouded in mist, the more people wanted to catch a glimpse of her celestial beauty.

Mu Wanwan said calmly, "I didn't come here to see you. It's just that the Azure Emperor is too domineering. After learning that I was his ex-girlfriend, he wanted to suppress me."

Yao Meng gave Mu Wanwan a deep look and said quietly, "The messenger of the Sabbath has come to the ancestral land of the Blue Clan so openly to look for someone. Do you think I should let you see him?"

Her smile was calm, but a strange feeling and inexplicable displeasure lingered in her heart.

Why would Heaven choose her as the 'divine messenger' of the Sabbath?

This woman's stance is undoubtedly completely contrary to the will of Heaven. Logically speaking, there is no way that the will of Heaven would hand over the position of 'Divine Envoy' to Mu Wanwan.

Unless... Heaven itself has also failed to detect this woman's true identity.

The sect leader, Shang Yanfei, who is proficient in the Nine Peaks Techniques and can even shield the secrets of heaven, is the mastermind behind everything. The identity of her 'ex-girlfriend', Mu Wanwan, is actually an alter ego of her.

Among the techniques of Dao Peak, there is a spell that, when cultivated to its extreme, can "transform one breath into three pure beings," and the dominant personality can then send their will into that clone at any time.

No wonder Consort Shang didn't make a sound when the Sabbath arrived...

No wonder she was so calm, after all, she was the chosen messenger of Heaven... Yao Meng narrowed her beautiful eyes, a hint of danger in them: "You really do have feelings for him."

Mu Wanwan smiled faintly: "The person who is intimate with him is my will, not hers. You don't need to be so wary of her as well."

Dao Feng's One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones is an extremely miraculous spell. Unless the main personality's will occasionally descends into the clone, Mu Wanwan is Mu Wanwan, and will not be anyone else. Of course, whether or not she has her own will is something the main personality can decide for herself.

Yao Meng was experienced and had naturally heard of this method before, but she never expected to see it with her own eyes today.

"You've been secretly watching him for a long time, so when he was just beginning to understand love, you pretended to be a young lady from an ordinary family and 'coincidentally' passed through Tianxuan City and 'bumped into' him, right?" Yao Meng asked.

Mu Wanwan smiled but remained silent.

Seeing this scene, however, made Yao Mengmei's eyes turn a deep coldness.

Imagine Mu Zhi'an back in his innocent youth, when even holding a girl's hand would make his heart race, let alone how he would feel when kissing Mu Wanwan...

If we compare Mu Zhian to a cake, then back in Tianxuan City, Mu Zhian was a freshly baked cake, and right after that, Mu Wanwan had already devoured him completely.

Yao Mengqing's beautiful and refined face remained expressionless as she sized up the woman dressed in a black robe.

After a while, she casually looked away and raised her fingertips.

It was as if a large curtain separated the two, making it difficult for cultivators outside to see what was happening here, and they could not hear a sound either.

"You've orchestrated all this just for that little thing between a man and a woman. Should I say you were just too bored on Liangyi Peak, or that my husband is so charming that you couldn't resist, Sect Master Shang?"

If cultivators outside the region heard this, they would be greatly shocked. The messenger of the Sabbath is an avatar of the sect master of the Two Elements Sect. This news is enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire Nine Provinces!

"Back then, I was indeed a little unable to restrain myself."

She paused, then looked at Yao Mengxianzi, who was not far in front of her, with a smile in her eyes, and continued, "If you had known earlier that you would become his Daoist partner, could you have resisted?"

Yao Meng's eyes sparkled, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and she said calmly, "Does Sect Leader Shang think everyone would be like you, making a move on a boy who is just beginning to experience love?"

She raised her beautiful eyes, met Mu Wanwan's gaze, and chuckled softly: "If he knew that his respected sect leader sister was actually someone who had a hobby of alchemy, I wonder what he would think?"

Mu Wanwan did not deny it: "Yes, I did take advantage of him when I saw that he was clueless about love. If I had to say, Qingdi's words were not wrong."

"but--"

The woman in the black dress smiled faintly and said softly, "Qingdi, why don't you close your eyes and think about what it felt like to be close to him when he was so clueless about relationships?"

Yao Meng's gaze was calm and indifferent, but her heart was rippled with emotion.

It's not hard to imagine. On one side is a boy who has never even touched a woman, and on the other side is an empress who has already stood tall in the long river of history. Even if she approaches him by pretending to be a 'young lady,' in terms of feelings, Mu Wanwan is definitely the one in control.

They would admire peach blossoms in spring, travel and escape the summer heat, watch the red maple leaves like rosy clouds in autumn, and sit in a house with a roaring charcoal fire in winter, watching the snowflakes fall outside the window. Then, a voluptuous and sexy older woman would intentionally or unintentionally touch the back of the boy's hand with the back of her hand, stirring his heartstrings. When he finally mustered up the courage to hold her hand, she would tease him...

Then, slightly tipsy, the two shared their first kiss, and even...

Yao Meng slightly opened her eyes, her beautiful, emerald-green eyes, as clear as gemstones, held a hint of mystery.

It's impossible not to be jealous. Although she verbally despised Consort Shang's actions, if it were her in that situation... she probably would have done even worse than Consort Shang.

Mu Wanwan smiled, her voice soft and melodious, and said with a smile, "It seems that the Azure Emperor truly understands what I'm saying?"

"Could it be that the fairy, who is seen as pure and flawless by the world, has some special hobbies just like me?"

Seeing Yao Meng remain silent, Mu Wanwan was about to speak again.

But to everyone's surprise, Yao Meng's expression gradually relaxed, and she smiled and said in a nonchalant tone that seemed to look down on all living beings, "If I said I didn't care about what happened between him and you in the past, that would be a lie."

"If it were me, I think I would make the same decision as you."

After all, who wouldn't want to take the first bite of a freshly baked cake?

but--

Yao Meng's tone shifted, and a heavenly melody gently sounded in Mu Wanwan's ears:

"Would you like to guess, if he had to choose again now, would he choose you or me?"

"Miss ex-girlfriend?" A dangerous smile played on her lips as she deliberately emphasized the word "ex".

The air in the entire space seemed to freeze at this moment, and a deathly silence enveloped the space.

"During this time when he's been close to me, do you think he ever thinks of you? Or does he call out 'Sister Qingdi's' name and bury himself in my arms?"

Mu Wanwan's calm smile finally faded a bit.

She is one of the three incarnations of 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones', but she also has her own will and naturally cares about Mu Zhian.

Hearing these words now, it's hard not to overthink it.

Yao Meng tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear with her fingertips and asked with a smile, "How long have you been with him?"

"Six months? Or a year?"

How much time did you spend being close to him during this period?

Mu Wanwan opened her mouth slightly, about to speak.

"Shhh."

Yao Meng placed her index finger against her red lips, tilted her head slightly, and smiled charmingly: "You probably haven't been intimate more than a few times, right? So there isn't much of your spiritual energy in his furnace."
