It turns out, they were the main characters.

"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire, and I am the embodiment of love and desire." The primordial witch revealed the truth.

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly: "Then what about Sister Mengrou?"

"She is the shell of the primordial witch."

Mu Zhian continued to ask, "What exactly is in the black mist of the Southern Wilderness? I've heard that any living being that steps into the black mist will have its existence swallowed up by the mist, and no one will remember its existence."

There is something more terrifying than death: when you die, not a single person remembers you.

The black mist in the Southern Wilderness is such a dangerous thing.

"The Way of Heaven." The Primordial Witch revealed a truth that shocked Mu Zhi'an immensely.

"The existence deep within the black mist of the Southern Wilderness, is it the Heavenly Dao?" Mu Zhi'an stared intently into the eyes of the Primordial Witch. "How is that possible? The Heavenly Dao is high above and cannot interfere with the Nine Provinces. How could it possibly be deep within the black mist of the Southern Wilderness?"

The Primordial Witch calmly said, "The Heavenly Dao is high above and cannot easily interfere in the affairs of the Nine Provinces. If there is no one who violates the rules of Heaven and Earth, it cannot bring down heavenly punishment, because even the Heavenly Dao itself is bound by the rules of Heaven and Earth."

But there are always exceptions.

As Yao Meng listened to the words of the Primordial Witch, her expression became slightly dazed. She murmured to herself, "The Heavenly Dao cannot defy the rules of heaven and earth to directly unleash heavenly punishment, but there are indeed exceptions... I once heard that if the Heavenly Dao so desires, it can erase the existence of a person."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the price is that the Heavenly Dao will also be affected, its very essence damaged."

"Azure Emperor, although you haven't been in the Dao for long, you are very clever. No wonder Mu Lang took a liking to you." The Primordial Witch smiled brightly. "What lies deep in the black mist is not actually the Heavenly Dao, but the primordial arrow of the Heavenly Dao."

"The black mist itself does not devour a person's existence. However, the black mist is affected by the arrow of the Heavenly Dao, so it will corrode any living beings that come near it and devour their existence itself."

"Did Heaven forcibly attack a certain creature on Earth, thus damaging its very essence?"

Combining what the Primordial Witch and Yao Meng had just said, Mu Zhian seemed to have thought of something. His eyes widened slightly as he stared into the Primordial Witch's eyes and came to a startling conclusion.

At this moment, countless images seemed to flash rapidly in Mu Zhian's mind, like a runaway film projector with images constantly flashing and disappearing.

He recalled that in the secret chamber of Liangyi Peak, he and his senior sister had accidentally entered a mysterious cave, where there was a woman deep inside... her body was pierced by an arrow, and she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Mu Zhi'an stared blankly at the Primordial Witch, his expression slightly grim. He asked urgently, "The Primordial Witch sealed the Primordial Witch with that primordial arrow deep in the Southern Wilderness?"

"You've been to the depths of the Southern Wilderness?" This time it was the Primordial Witch's turn to be surprised.

"But how is that possible? If you ever ventured deep into the Southern Wilderness, how could you not have been swallowed by the black mist..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Zhian took out a black box from his storage ring and stared at the Primordial Witch, asking, "Do you recognize this black box?"

The Primordial Witch hummed in agreement: "This is a black box left behind in the World Sea by another 'me' from the past."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian finally couldn't help but ask, "Just how much spiritual consciousness did the Primordial Witch possess?"

The Primordial Witch looked at Wei Mengrou: "Of the three, besides mine, the other spiritual consciousness is now within her body."

Mu Zhian remained silent for a while, digesting what the Primordial Witch had said.

Wei Mengrou is the 'main body' of the Primordial Witch, and the wisp of obsession within her was originally just an obsession. However, later, Gu Boxing, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qian Dynasty, summoned her spiritual consciousness, causing her obsession and spiritual consciousness to merge into one... This is the Primordial Witch's second spiritual consciousness.

In other words, the second witch's spirit in the World Sea is now inside Wei Mengrou's body.

The Primal Witch is the third spiritual consciousness; she knows many 'secrets' that were previously unknown.

"So, Mengrou has now become a true Primordial Witch?" Mu Zhian asked.

The Primordial Witch shook her head and said, "As I just said, she is the Primordial Witch's shell."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Just like the relationship between Ruoxi and the Palace Master?"

Upon closer reflection, it seems that all the reincarnated powerful beings who left themselves a way out are 'twins' in a relationship, such as Ye Lingxuan and the Reincarnated Empress, Gong Lianyue and Bai Ruoxi, and so on...

Mu Zhian suddenly had a thought and asked, "What was the Primordial Witch I saw in the black box? She seemed to be suppressed within it by the Primordial Arrow of Heaven's Dao—"

"She wasn't suppressed by the Arrow of Origin; rather, she was suppressing the Arrow of Origin." The Primal Witch's tone was unusually cold, and her eyes were no longer as gentle as before.

"A cultivator can actually suppress the Heavenly Dao...?" Mu Zhian exclaimed in surprise.

The Heavenly Dao is the embodiment of all living things. Everything that is alive is within the Heavenly Dao's constraints, unless it ascends to immortality and transcends its limitations.

The Primordial Witch said softly, "In this world, only she can suppress that primordial arrow, but even she can only suppress it with her own body."

So, while the primordial witch in the 'black box' appears to be suppressed by that arrow, she is actually suppressing the primordial arrow of the Heavenly Dao?

The 'cave world' inside the black box leads to the depths of the Southern Wilderness. At that time, he and Lan Mulian entered the black box cave world directly, so they were not affected by the 'black mist' of the Southern Wilderness.

The arrow of the origin of Heaven's Way, the spiritual consciousness of the three witches—these things seem chaotic on the surface, but in reality, all the truths point to the black box.

In other words, the person who gave him the 'black box' was the source of the truth.

"Don't you plan to return to Sister Mengrou's body?" Mu Zhian asked suddenly, gathering his thoughts.

The Primordial Witch pursed her luscious lips and gave Mu Zhi'an a seductive look: "I've only just woken up from my slumber, how can I go back so soon?"

She sensed Yao Meng's faint spiritual presence locked onto her and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I don't plan to take Mu Lang away now."

"He'll be mine sooner or later anyway."

Beneath her feet, an incredibly complex array seemed to faintly appear.

Having finally found the third spiritual consciousness, Mu Zhi'an still had many questions for the Primordial Witch. Seeing that she was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are you planning to go?"

The Primordial Witch revealed a sweet and charming smile: "It makes me so happy that you think of me so much, Mu Lang."

"Don't worry, we'll see each other soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, the teleportation array beneath her feet lit up quietly, and a thick black mist spread out.

Yao Meng raised her eyebrows slightly, flicked her finger and threw out an inconspicuous blue lotus seed. The lotus seed transformed into a ray of light and drilled into the body of the Primordial Witch.

However, before the green lotus seeds could even get close, they quietly dissolved into liquid in the black mist.

The Primordial Witch rolled her eyes, exuding charm: "Don't use such petty tricks in front of me."

The next moment, her figure quietly disappeared into the Southern Wilderness Temple.

Mu Zhian looked up in the direction where the Primordial Witch had disappeared. Her slender figure had long since vanished from his sight, but she had given him one last deep look.

He then looked to the side, where Yao Meng and Bai Ruoxi were gazing in the direction the Primordial Witch had left, seemingly deep in thought.

Mu Zhian couldn't understand why, when the 'main body' of the Primordial Witch was right in front of her, she didn't enter Wei Mengrou's furnace but instead left on her own.

Where is she going?

……

In any case, Regina's crisis has been resolved, and Mu Zhian's promise has been fulfilled.

Although it was puzzling that the Primordial Witch left alone in the end, at least he learned what the arrow in the 'Black Box' was and also learned a very important piece of information—the first Primordial Witch's spiritual consciousness in the Black Box was suppressing the primordial arrow of the Heavenly Dao.

Before leaving the hall, Mu Zhian looked at the two beauties, one in white and one in green, not far ahead, and then transmitted his voice to Xue Yi behind him: "Senior Xue Yi, don't forget your previous vow."

Xueyi glanced at Mu Zhian with a complicated expression, and then transmitted her voice: "Once a vow is made, even a Dao Integration expert cannot break it. I will not devour her spiritual consciousness."

Seeing Mu Zhi'an nod slightly and turn to leave the hall, she hesitated for a moment, then asked again via telepathy, "What exactly is your relationship with Mother?"

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment: "If you are referring to Sister Mengrou, then she is my maid."

Xueyi's eyes were playful as she transmitted her voice, "The formation in the Southern Wilderness Temple was set up by my mother in the past, so the Azure Emperor and the others cannot hear your voice transmission."

“Actually, although she is my maid, she is also one of my wives.” Mu Zhian was much more sincere this time.

He paused, gazing intently at the God of Space before him, and continued to transmit his voice: "Actually, you are too."

Even Xueyi, who was good at disguising herself, couldn't help but give Mu Zhian a look full of disdain and embarrassment upon hearing this.

Has this man forgotten so quickly what he just did to me?

How dare they say such a thing now?

Xueyi walked towards the palace gate in sexy high-heeled sandals, her white dress trailing on the ground. As she passed Mu Zhian, she paused slightly, turned to look at him, and asked, "Dare you say this to Qingdi and the others?"

Her height was already similar to Mu Zhi'an's, but after wearing such sexy high heels, she was actually half a head taller than Mu Zhi'an. Her platinum blonde hair gently fell over her shoulders, highlighting her pure and alluring face.

"Of course I dare," Mu Zhian replied calmly.

He paused for a moment, then said, "However, it's best not to let a third person know about our relationship for the time being."

In the end, she still didn't dare... Just as Xue Yi was thinking about this, she heard Mu Zhi'an continue to transmit his voice: "In the past, the Southern Wilderness cooperated with the Western Regions and other places to suppress Yao Meng and prevent her from ascending to immortality, right?"

Xueyi shook her head: "That's all in the past, and besides, I knew nothing about it. The Southern Wilderness will no longer collude with them—"

Mu Zhian took half a step forward, glanced at the entrance of the hall, then gently patted Xue Yi's beautiful leg through her skirt, and whispered in Xue Yi's ear, "You should replace the three pillar gods of the Southern Wilderness and continue to cooperate with the Western Regions and other places."

"From now on, the Southern Wilderness will be in the shadows while I am in the light, making it easier to gather intelligence."

When Yao Meng ascended to immortality, there were more people trying to stop her than just those from the Western Regions and the Southern Wilderness. If we wanted to know which other places were involved, it would take forever to find any clues through investigation alone.

But if Xueyi and Regina become the rulers of the Southern Wilderness in the future... then things will be different.

"Mu Zhian, you really have confidence in yourself. I only swore not to devour Regina, but I didn't swear to be loyal to you?"

Xueyi snorted and transmitted her voice, "Aren't you afraid that I might secretly collude with the Western Regions and turn the tables on you?"

“You won’t.” Mu Zhian shook his head.

Before she could speak, Mu Zhian revealed a gentle smile and said softly, "You want to ascend to immortality, don't you?"

dong dong!

For a fleeting moment, Mu Zhian seemed to hear the sound of a heartbeat.

He looked up at Xueyi's stunningly beautiful and alluring face.

Xueyi was also staring at him, her moist, beautiful eyes filled with eagerness: "You're willing to help me?"

"After all, Senior Xueyi's first time was also mine. You and I are no different from Daoist partners. If I don't help you, who will I help?" Mu Zhian smiled. "However, there is nothing in this world that can make a person ascend directly to immortality, not even me, a natural furnace."

"Besides continuing to cooperate with the Western Regions and other places, I also need Senior Xueyi to do me a small favor."

"What kind of help?"

“Take care of one person,” Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Xueyi raised her eyebrows slightly, tucked a strand of platinum blonde hair behind her ear, and a black beauty mark under her right eyebrow added a touch of unique charm. Her fair and dazzling skin had an icy, crystal-like texture.

She stood there, her long legs crossed beneath her white dress, wearing sexy high-heeled sandals, and sized up Mu Zhian: "Who?"

“Huang Weifeng,” Mu Zhian said.

Xue Yi raised an eyebrow: "What does Huang Weifeng have to do with ascension to immortality?"

"Huang Weifeng has no connection with ascension to immortality, but Huang Weifeng's luck is related to ascension to immortality."

Mu Zhian slowly said, "Huang Weifeng was just an ordinary family's child in the past, until one day, the heavens bestowed blessings upon him, and he became a person of great fortune, thus beginning his invincible path among his peers."
