It turns out, they were the main characters.

The master is asking his disciple for advice... What does he want to ask?

Chapter 512 The First Encounter Between the Spirit Dragon and the Princess (4K)

call……

Mu Zhian slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes as dawn approached.

The temperature in the bedchamber was just right, with a soft, fragrant body sleeping on each side. He turned his head to look at the stunningly beautiful face of the Empress of Yuzhou beside him, then looked at the mature and gentle Queen on the other side, and couldn't help but close his eyes again.

He was savoring the feeling of having just reached the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm.

Although the spiritual energy in the furnace was almost exhausted, Mu Zhian's spiritual awareness was stronger than ever before. He could clearly hear the servants bustling about outside the bedroom, their hushed conversations, and even their footsteps.

It can even hear the whispers of others.

Even his own essence and blood are more abundant than ever before!

This is the benefit of reaching the peak of the Void Returning Realm.

The ability to elevate one's cultivation level by a single step is something that perhaps only Luo Tan's innate "furnace body" could accomplish.

At this moment, Mu Zhian's heart was filled with emotion.

Only now did he truly understand how Yao Mengruoxi and the others had felt before.

After this upgrade, if he wants, he can continue to grow stronger through the mutual support between him and Luo Tan.

"Why are you awake so early? Didn't you get tired at all last night, after such a long night?"

At this moment, Luo Tan gently placed one hand on Mu Zhi'an's face, her soft voice seemingly tinged with languor, her delicate body nestled beside Mu Zhi'an, looking at him with a smile.

"It is a bit tiring, but I feel it's all worth it if it can satisfy you and Her Highness the Princess," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Luo Tan's calm smile faltered slightly, as if she were recalling what had happened last night, and her gaze towards the boy became somewhat unnatural.

Mu Zhian looked at the princess who was 'sound asleep' and said softly, "Your Highness, you should have woken up long ago, right?"

The princess's curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Noticing the gaze of Mu Zhi'an's best friend beside her, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

She never imagined she would one day share a bed with Luo Tan... and more importantly, she ended up with the same man.

The princess felt a complex mix of emotions when she thought about this.

Mu Zhian smiled as he watched this scene and reached out to hold the princess's soft little hand tightly.

Thinking back to when the princess came to see Luo Tan a while ago, he had to hide under the table to avoid being noticed by her, and then thinking about now...

"Although you have already reached the peak of the Returning to the Void Realm, don't be too happy yet. Historical records show that many cultivators perished during the tribulations of enlightenment. Only after truly achieving enlightenment can one be at ease."

At this moment, Luo Tan suddenly spoke softly to remind her.

"The Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill I refined can give you at least a 70% chance of successfully comprehending the Dao, but after all, you are born with the body of a furnace cauldron... On the path to immortality, the stronger one's physique, the more difficult it is to comprehend the Dao. Don't let your guard down at the last moment."

Mu Zhian became somewhat interested, holding the princess's slender hand in one hand while wrapping his other arm around Luo Tan's waist: "The stronger the physique, the harder it is to comprehend the Dao? Is this also a rule of heaven and earth?"

Luo Tan inhaled the warm scent emanating from the young man, her heart fluttering slightly. She instinctively leaned against him, savoring the warmth, but with her best friend present, she forced herself to remain calm and gave a reserved "Mmm."

"You should know that a cultivator's tribulation is related to their own talent. The stronger the talent, the stronger the tribulation they will encounter."

Mu Zhian nodded.

He had heard of this before. He had witnessed Bai Ruoxi, Lan Mulian and others undergoing the Ninefold Tribulation of Lightning in the past. This tribulation was extremely difficult, which also meant that their talents were among the best.

Mu Zhian thought for a moment, then asked with some relief, "So, my talent might also be among the top tier?"

Luo Tan glanced at him and said, "Your talent may not be the best, but your physique as a natural furnace is definitely top-notch."

"The tribulation is determined by the physical condition of the person undergoing the tribulation. In other words, the stronger your physical condition, the more difficult it is to overcome the tribulation."

"Wait... does that mean my innate furnace body is the most outstanding physique, so my enlightenment tribulation will be adjusted according to the strength of my innate furnace body...?" Mu Zhian suddenly understood Luo Tan's words.

"But my innate furnace can't help me at all in battle..."

Luo Tan covered her full, firm breasts with one hand as she got off the bed. In front of the bronze mirror, she changed into her gorgeous dress. Her usual noble and elegant temperament seemed to have gained a touch of mature and charming allure today.

With her back to Mu Zhian, she only gave the young man a beautiful back view: "The rules of heaven and earth don't care about you so much. There was once a body in the Nine Provinces that could temporarily raise the realm of others and strengthen their spiritual power in battle. She was extremely sought after in the Nine Provinces and was eventually snatched up by the Northern Underworld. However, she eventually perished in the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment."

"Because the Heavenly Tribulation at that time determined that her physique was one of the strongest in the Nine Provinces, she was given the most difficult Heavenly Tribulation. The power of that Heavenly Tribulation was no less than that of the Physical Tribulation of the Dao Integration Realm."

Mu Zhian was speechless for a moment.

There's something wrong with the rules of this world!

This is like your healer having several god-tier skills. As long as the healer can support the teammates, they can clear the dungeon smoothly. But one day, someone suddenly tells the healer that he has to use those god-tier support skills to solo the dungeon by himself...

The problem is that these support skills can't be used on yourself.

How do you play this? Are you going to hit it with a stick?

Luo Tan paused, then smiled brightly: "But don't worry, you and I both have dual physiques, right? Although each physique doubles the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation, at least you don't have to use a secondary physique to deal with it."

"The Nine-Tailed Demon Body is one of the most powerful physiques in the demon realm, so it's not difficult for it to withstand the heavenly tribulation."

Mu Zhian was stunned for a while before he seemed to come to his senses and stared blankly at Luo Tan: "According to you, does that mean that the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation will double for every powerful physique one possesses...?"

"Does the difficulty of the Enlightenment Tribulation increase based on one's physical constitution?"

Luo Tan nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry. Although having two physiques will double the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation, with the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill that I refined, it will not be difficult to pass the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment."

"What if there's more than one type of constitution?" Mu Zhian asked.

Luo Tan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I also have dual physiques, but I still managed to successfully pass the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment."

Seeing Mu Zhi'an remain silent, the princess thought he was still worried and gently comforted him, "Although the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment is difficult, there are many examples in the past of cultivators with multiple constitutions who have overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. There is no need to worry about having a dual constitution."

"I don't have a dual constitution," Mu Zhian sighed softly.

Luo Tan frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that you have three different constitutions?"

Mu Zhian slowly shook his head.

At this moment, even the princess felt something was wrong: "Since it's not one of the three constitutions, what are you worried about?"

Mu Zhian glanced at her silently: "More than three..."

"Four different constitutions?" The princess's expression changed.

The difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment is adjusted according to the 'talent' of the person undergoing the tribulation, and a cultivator's physique is often one of the simplest and most direct ways to assess talent.

Seeing Mu Zhian's increasingly worried expression, Luo Tan muttered to himself with some doubt, "You are a Chaos Body with more than four types of physiques? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

As she spoke, she sat down on the edge of the bed, her fair legs draped over Mu Zhi'an beneath the hem of her gorgeous white dress. She wore sexy embroidered flat shoes, the blue veins on her insteps contrasting beautifully with her fair skin.

“I didn’t think the Chaos Body was that rare, so I didn’t mention it.” Mu Zhian shook his head.

"Chaotic entities are indeed not particularly rare... but three or more chaotic entities are very rare."

Luo Tan paused for a moment, then comforted her, "But you don't need to worry too much. The difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment depends on the strength of your physique. The strongest physiques you have are the innate furnace body and the nine-tailed demon body. Even if you combine the other physiques, they may not double the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment."

"What are your other physical constitutions?" the princess suddenly asked.

"If I remember correctly, the Sword Immortal Body Protection is the second physique I obtained," Mu Zhian said.

"Gong Lianyue...?"

Luo Tan's expression changed; she vaguely realized that something was wrong.

Gong Lianyue is famous for her swordsmanship. The title of "immortal" holds the most sacred position in the hearts of cultivators, and the title of "sword immortal" is enough to prove just how valuable this physique is.

This was the first time she had ever heard that, besides Gong Lianyue, there were other people in the Nine Provinces who also had sword immortals protecting them.

"Besides that? Is there anything else?" the princess asked. She knew that if it were just a matter of constitution, Mu Zhi'an's expression wouldn't be so bad.

"A born spiritual being."

Luo Tan's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "The physique of the princess of the forbidden zone? Besides that, there should also be the physique of the nine-tailed celestial fox?"

Any one of these four constitutions would be enough to amaze cultivators in the Nine Provinces, yet all four constitutions appeared in one person.

No wonder his expression was so serious.

"Devouring Heaven Demon Body, Heavenly Mandate Sacred Body, Innate Dao Embryo..."

However, before Luo Tan could recover from her previous thoughts, her expression finally changed when she heard Mu Zhi'an read out each individual constitution.

The princess's red lips parted slightly as she looked at Mu Zhi'an with a hint of surprise.

Mu Zhian glanced at his personal interface and said, "And there's the Medicine Immortal Body that was just added."

Luo Tan was stunned for a long time before finally realizing something and said, "You can absorb other people's physiques for your own use?"

Thinking about it carefully, aren't the physical conditions that Mu Zhian mentioned related to the women around him?

Even her medicinal immortal physique became one of Mu Zhi'an's physical attributes...

A chaotic body capable of absorbing the constitution of others for its own use... Normally, Luo Tan would be shocked but also pleased by Mu Zhian's talent.

But now that Mu Zhian has taken the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill, he is about to begin his 'enlightenment'.

If the rules of heaven and earth become aware of Mu Zhian's chaotic body, what kind of heavenly tribulation will befall them?

"But it seems you haven't absorbed it because of my constitution..." the princess asked in confusion.

Mu Zhian shrugged: "Perhaps it's because the Great Dao transcends the universe."

Not only the princess, but Mu Zhian, who possessed Lin Ling's Word Spirit Body, was also unable to absorb it for his own use.

The two women have one thing in common: they are both involved in the Great Dao.

"Since the Azure Emperor sent you to Yuzhou, he must have already thought of a way to deal with it... Perhaps we should find her before the tribulation."

Luo Tan pondered for a moment and said, "In short, I will refine the Nine Cauldrons Refining Void Pill in the next few days, but I must know about it before I undergo the tribulation."

As she finished speaking, her tone carried a hint of solemnity and admonition.

Once the Heavenly Tribulation of the Enlightenment Realm descends, the shielding technique left by the Spirit Dragon on Mu Zhi'an's Innate Furnace will no longer be effective. Once the secret of the Innate Furnace is exposed, Mu Zhi'an will attract two groups of people.

A group of people will try every means to win him over... After all, the allure of being born as a furnace is too great.

Another group, however, will kill him at all costs, even if it means offending the Azure Emperor.

After all, Mu Zhian's innate furnace is equivalent to continuously helping the Empress of the Dao Integration Realm ascend to immortality. Which Dao Integration Realm expert wouldn't be furious after seeing this?

If this continues, Mu Zhian's background will become increasingly powerful, and this growing influence will eventually threaten their position in Kyushu.

Even if Mu Zhian didn't have that intention, it would still make people wary.
