It turns out, they were the main characters.

Gong Lianyue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Neither human nor demon cultivator, then what is it?"

"Could it be that you mean to say it's the Way of Heaven?"

She had spoken with a hint of sarcasm, but after she finished, she found that the Primal Witch remained silent for a long time.

Gong Lianyue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Impossible... Absolutely impossible!"

"The embodiment of the Heavenly Dao's will was indeed in his room that night, but what they did or what deal they made remains unknown," the Primordial Witch said with a smile.

Yao Meng's beautiful eyes, as bright as a cold pool, remained devoid of emotion, but her heart was gradually stirring.

She remembered the day Mu Zhian underwent his tribulation, when the tribulation for enlightenment inexplicably disappeared.

Furthermore, the embodiment of the will of Heaven at that time also made some intimate gestures towards Mu Zhian.

Could it be that……

"Roar……"

At this moment, a low growl from a demon rang out from the outer perimeter of the restricted area, completely shattering the atmosphere in this aerial pavilion.

Yao Meng glanced up casually, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"It is a forbidden demonic creature of the Heavenly rank."

The Reincarnated Empress, who had been silently watching the show from the corner, suddenly spoke in a calm tone: "The monsters in the forbidden zone are more or less influenced by the 'rules,' and some have evolved to the Heavenly level... The combat power of these monsters is almost close to the peak of the Void Returning stage, but their numbers in the forbidden zone are extremely small."

"If I remember correctly, this kind of forbidden monster is also a target for the candidates in this restricted area competition, right? It was found so quickly?"

Gong Lianyue's eyes flickered, and she murmured to herself, "Even with a naturally born spiritual body, one shouldn't be able to detect the whereabouts of a Heavenly-level demon so quickly... Is it just a coincidence?"

Logically speaking, even Ye Lingxuan, who was born with an unparalleled affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, should not have been able to find the whereabouts of a Heavenly-level demon in such a short time.

unless……

Someone is helping her.

"Was it him who helped...?" Yao Meng murmured to herself, immediately thinking of Mu Zhi'an.

"Although Mu Lang is also a born spirit body, he is ultimately a pseudo-physical body, so it should be impossible for him to find the whereabouts of a Heavenly-level demon in such a short time..."

This time, it was Bai Ruoxi who spoke, which could be judged by her full breasts that seemed about to burst out of her palace dress.

Gong Lianyue's spiritual consciousness had just entered the world of the heart, and she obviously needed to process the information revealed by the Primordial Witch.

After all, that is the Heavenly Dao. In this land of nine provinces, who doesn't have some reverence for the Heavenly Dao?

As a result, after the manifestation of the will of Heaven descended upon Kyushu, it actually went to a big boy's room that very night?

Although the specifics of what has been done are still unclear, it's important to remember that the embodiment of the will of Heaven is a woman...

As it turned out, the will of heaven stayed in Makirou's room for an entire night...

What happened next was something I dared not think about any further.

If this matter were to get out, even the dignity of Heaven would be damaged.

More importantly, on the day of the Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment, the Azure Emperor, she, and Ye Qingxin almost tacitly agreed not to disturb Mu Zhian's meditation to recover his spirit.

It's not that they don't care; rather, everyone wants to be the first to experience firsthand what a natural furnace for the Ascension Realm is like.

As a result, all three of them waited, and that night, the will of Heaven secretly sneaked into the bedchamber, and it is very likely that it did everything it should and shouldn't have done...

Perhaps Mu Zhian's innate furnace is now completely devoid of spiritual energy.

This feeling is like a husband knowing his wife is too tired from work, so he tells her to rest well tonight while he sleeps in the living room...

That very night, the blond-haired man climbed through the window into his wife's room...

And now this blond guy might very well be the Heavenly Dao!

Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of darkness appearing in her usually gentle eyes. Her slender hands unconsciously gripped her white palace dress, clearly unable to accept this fact.

The Reincarnated Empress was also somewhat stunned. Although she had no interest in trying the Natural Furnace for the first time, someone had actually sneaked into Mu Zhi'an's room right in front of her, and she hadn't noticed at all...

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her, who had always been proud.

The Primordial Witch looked at Yao Meng, who had remained silent, and said softly, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Yao Meng glanced at the primordial witch casually and said, "I do care a little, but thinking about you makes me feel a bit better."

The Primordial Witch frowned slightly, staring at Yao Meng, wanting to hear what she had to say next.

"If that night, Heaven truly had the audacity to secretly allow his incarnation to taste his spiritual energy, just how thin would the spiritual energy left for you the next day be?"

Yao Meng slowly played with a strand of hair and said softly, "For this meager spiritual energy, you guarded the door all night. Maybe he was intimate with the will of Heaven inside the house all night... and you only got close to him the next day after he came out, and you even secretly used this recording stone, just to get revenge on me..."

Before the Primordial Witch could speak, Yao Meng reached out and tucked a strand of silver hair behind the Primordial Witch's ear, smiling gently, "You're so cute."

The Primordial Witch was slightly taken aback.

Yes... that night when she was at the door, she clearly heard strange noises coming from Mu Zhian's house at first, but those noises disappeared after the Heavenly Dao used a shielding technique.

Why did she stay outside all night?

Perhaps at that time he was inside the house being...

At this moment, Bai Ruoxi suddenly raised her dark eyes and said softly, "What does Sister Qingdi think?"

“Heaven has targeted him more than once in the past. I think even if he really had something to do with the embodiment of Heaven’s will, he must have his own reasons,” Yao Meng said understandingly.

A green vine silently wrapped around her fair feet, and Yao Meng's fingertips gently traced the vine.

Immediately afterwards, a voice, pure and ethereal, echoed softly in the celestial palace:

"So after the hunt, we should ask him what his difficulties were, shouldn't we?"

Chapter 537 Ye Lingxuan Undergoes a Test in the Forbidden Zone

"Roar……"

A low growl from a forbidden monster echoed within the restricted area. It resembled a giant wolf in size, with blood-red eyes, and as it let out a deafening roar, black energy seemed to emanate from its body.

Mu Zhian looked up and observed the monster, which looked imposing but seemed to have lost its self-control and reason.

The rules within this restricted area seem to affect the creatures within to some extent. Along the way, he even saw some flowers, trees, and rare treasures that seemed to have been influenced by the power of the rules, receiving a strong amplification and gaining sentience.

Even the plants in the restricted area are affected, but the people in the restricted area are not affected... It's actually quite interesting when you think about it.

"The Heavenly Wolf is a Heavenly-level demon in the forbidden area... If we bring its magic crystal back, this hunting competition will basically be over."

Ye Lingxuan looked at the demon with a hint of unexpected joy in her eyes. She raised her fingertips, and a golden chain quietly emerged from her sleeve, transforming into a golden stream of light that enveloped the Heavenly Wolf from all directions.

The monster, which had been struggling, froze, and time seemed to stand still.

The lock of the Desolate Time reached for the dark blue magic crystal on the forehead of the Heavenly Wolf, and the next moment, the magic crystal was snatched into the girl's hand.

"Is one Heavenly-level demon enough? If needed, I can take you to other places to prepare more," Mu Zhian asked.

"It's impossible for the candidates this time to find a second Heaven-level demon like the Heavenly Wolf. Besides, even if they did find one, they wouldn't be able to take the demon's magic crystal unless a large number of cultivators were sent to stop them."

Ye Lingxuan said confidently, "It's no exaggeration to say that the demon crystal is the demon's 'Achilles' heel.' If it weren't for the Lock of Desolate Time, even Brother Mu might not be able to take it down."

Although these monsters have lost their minds, they still have the most basic will to survive. Once they sense that someone is trying to touch their 'core', they will go berserk.

If a forbidden demon, no less powerful than the peak of the Returning to the Void Realm, were to go berserk... even cultivators who have just begun to understand the Dao can only give way.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Then let's go back first. It's been almost three hours since we came out. I suppose the other candidates' teams are already preparing to go back."

Ye Lingxuan first hummed in agreement, then looked at the boy with some concern.

She was still somewhat concerned about how Brother Mu had found the whereabouts of the Heavenly Wolf, and judging from what he had just said... it seemed that he could find the coordinates of not only the Heavenly Wolf, but also other Heavenly-level demonic creatures.

This is really something to worry about...

"By the way, Brother Mu, you need to be careful. I think I just felt a spiritual sense locking onto you. Although it was only for a moment, you still need to be careful."

As if remembering something, Ye Lingxuan suddenly transmitted a message.

Although she was slightly lower in cultivation level than Mu Zhian, after inheriting the legacy of the Reincarnated Empress, the girl's cultivation level improved rapidly, and her perception was astonishing. Moreover, the spiritual sense that locked onto Mu Zhian at that time did not deliberately hide its spiritual sense at all, so she noticed it immediately.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but laugh and say, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

That's what they say, but this place is a forbidden zone, a place where the power of rules is different from that of the outside world of Kyushu.

Moreover, Wei Mengrou, Yao Meng, and Gong Lianyue are all here, along with his Sister Ye and the Reincarnated Empress... Who in this world could pose a threat to him in a forbidden area like this?

Besides, he was born to be a furnace, so even if a creature from a forbidden land were to target him, it certainly wouldn't be with the intention of killing him.

Rather than thinking that someone wanted to harm him, Mu Zhian felt that it might be Yao Meng or someone else who was worried about his situation, so he used his spiritual sense to confirm.

"Let's go back first," Mu Zhian said with a smile, naturally taking Ye Lingxuan's hand.

The girl's pretty face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head slightly, obediently humming in agreement.

Looking at the girl's obedient and well-behaved appearance, Mu Zhian felt even more pleased and said with a smile, "The effects of the Enchanting Flower should have worn off by now, right?"

Ye Lingxuan boarded the phoenix carriage, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "Well... well, to be honest, those things were of no use to me at all. I only did them to cooperate with Brother Mu at the time."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but feel a bit teasing. He leaned closer to the girl and whispered, "It seems like you were the one who suggested playing this little game, right?"

A more alluring blush spread across Ye Lingxuan's pretty face.

"Speaking of which, if you inherit the position of Queen of the Forbidden Zone, will the Lord of the Forbidden Zone hand over the authority over the rules of the Forbidden Zone to you?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked curiously.

Ye Lingxuan deliberately kept a straight face to maintain her elegant image, and said, "How much power of the rules I can inherit is ultimately determined by my own talent, not by my father. That's why he needs to choose a successor in this way, instead of choosing me directly."

"No wonder..."

Mu Zhian thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "So after inheriting the power of the rules, you can rewrite the rules in the forbidden zone at will? If it is written that dual cultivation will not give birth to new life, can the power of the rules really do that?"

Ye Lingxuan glared at him, embarrassed and angry: "What are you saying, Brother Mu?!"

"I was just thinking that when we were together before, you always seemed to use some methods to avoid getting a one-shot kill, so I was just curious and asked," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

"That's because I wasn't ready to have children yet. After all, Brother Mu and I aren't married yet. It's not that I'm against this kind of thing..."

The girl's face flushed red instantly, and she looked somewhat flustered. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes welled up with tears as she whispered, "Brother Mu, do you perhaps want to have a child with me?"

"what?"

Mu Zhian silently rubbed his forehead: "I just want to know to what extent the 'rules' can achieve, whether they can turn the rotten into the magical. As for having children... I'm not mentally prepared for that yet."

Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but glance at the boy. Seeing his helpless expression, the girl's shyness subsided a bit, and a sly look flashed in her eyes. She leaned close to Mu Zhian's ear and whispered, "If I really get pregnant with Brother Mu's child, will Brother Mu marry me?"

This time, it was Mu Zhian's turn to lose his composure. He hesitated and said, "Shall we talk about the rules first?"
