It turns out, they were the main characters.

Yes... this woman is too rational, or rather, although she was chatting and laughing with Mu Zhi'an, Mu Zhi'an couldn't sense any human emotion from her.

Besides, even if he had asked to be intimate with her just now, he would definitely have been rejected.

As if she could see through Mu Zhian's thoughts, Yuanluo put away her joking attitude and said seriously, "Of course I will refuse. I was just joking with you. If I really did something with you one day, then I would no longer be the Heavenly Dao, but just a person with feelings."

This is something that Iris has already stated in the past.

The sacred Heavenly Way cannot accept the bathing of a naturally formed furnace.

Mu Zhian then asked about another matter that concerned him more: "The will of Heaven can index all the data of all living beings in the Nine Provinces... Since you have always been in the Heavenly Court, can you also index the living beings in the Heavenly Court?"

He hadn't had high hopes, but Yuanluo's answer surprised and delighted Mu Zhian.

Without even thinking, Yuanluo simply hummed in agreement: "Sure."

"I can find relevant information for anyone in the Heavenly Court."

Mu Zhian raised his hand to indicate the Heavenly Court ring he was wearing: "This ring has had several owners, can you find the corresponding information?"

“There have only been three people who obtained it. The last person to obtain it was you, and the second was the first Demon Emperor,” Yuanluo said.

"And the first one?" Mu Zhian asked.

"I don't know, it's been blocked," Yuanluo said calmly.

After all that, it was as if he said nothing at all...

Mu Zhian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "That's right, since you can search for information on all the living beings in the Heavenly Court... you should be very familiar with all the places in the Heavenly Court, right?"

"I know every single location in Heaven, and even what's in every place there."

Yuanluo paused for a moment, then continued, "But there is one exception."

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was pondering something.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he subconsciously said, "The Heavenly Palace?"

He remembered something very important.

When Ye Qingxin tested him in the past, Mu Zhian had walked to the vicinity of the Heavenly Palace... but even he couldn't push open the gate of the Heavenly Palace at that time.

But now that he has attained enlightenment, perhaps he can try to see what lies behind that door.

"Do you want to visit the Heavenly Palace? Then take me with you!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanluo's eyes immediately lit up, and she enthusiastically took his arm.

"Aren't you the Heavenly Dao? How can you still feel curiosity?" Mu Zhian couldn't help but ask.

"After all, the Heavenly Dao should know everything... but even I don't know what's inside the Heavenly Palace, so it's natural to be curious."

Yuanluo brought her cherry lips close to his ear and said pitifully as if pleading, "Please, take me with you... I'm willing to do anything."

Mu Zhian silently pressed down on her shoulder, then pushed her away.

Do I need to explain what I'm thinking right now?

Yuanluo nodded gently: "Are you wondering why I, who should be a holy and flawless Heavenly Dao, am burning up and even acting coquettishly towards you? But isn't Fairy Yaomeng also holy? Didn't she do a lot of things when she was with you in private... Heh."

Mu Zhian silently rubbed his forehead: "Fine, then you lead the way."

Not only Yuanluo, but Mu Zhian also wanted to know.

What exactly is hidden deep within the Heavenly Palace, a place even he, the author of the Heavenly Court's rules, cannot enter?

Chapter 602 Request Subscription: The Immortal Who Created All Things, Yuanluo's Past

The Heavenly Court, also known as the Immortal Realm in the eyes of cultivators in the Nine Provinces, is said to be a place where, once one ascends to the Immortal Realm, no matter what level of cultivation one is at, one will no longer have to worry about the approaching end of one's lifespan.

To ascend to the Heavenly Court, one must wait for the path to immortality to appear, or perhaps through the Heavenly Court ring, or the mysterious ancient bronze coffin.

The Heavenly Court Ring allows a cultivator's spiritual consciousness to enter the Heavenly Court, but there is a time limit.

The ancient coffin allows one's true body to enter the Heavenly Court as well. To put it more bluntly, the person who can open the ancient coffin can ascend to the Heavenly Court.

So far, only Mu Zhian is known to have the ability to open the ancient coffin.

It is suspected that the master of the Abyss was also able to open the ancient coffin, but ultimately no one witnessed it, so it cannot be taken seriously.

Apart from the master of the Abyss and Mu Zhian, there was no other person.

Even when Yao Meng and Ye Qingxin tried to open the ancient coffin, they were unable to do so.

In fact, Mu Zhian was not particularly surprised that he was able to open the ancient coffin.

After all, he was the author of the Heavenly Court's rules.

Even Mu Zhi'an had a place in the Heavenly Court that he could never set foot in.

—The Heavenly Palace.

"Logically speaking, I can modify the rules of the entire Heavenly Court, so there shouldn't be any place in the Heavenly Court that I can't go."

"This means that the door deep within the Heavenly Palace was not one I lacked the authority to enter, but rather that the other party was simply powerful enough to forcibly seal that door, while my cultivation level at the time was insufficient to open it."

As Mu Zhi'an watched Yuan Luo step by step towards the Heavenly Palace, her feet treading on the void, he murmured to himself, wondering what was hidden in the Heavenly Palace and who had placed the seal within it.

"Speaking of which, when exactly were you born? And why were you already in the Heavenly Court from the beginning?" Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

"Just as there is the way of heaven as long as there are living beings, as long as the rules of heaven still exist and you are still here, I will not disappear."

As Yuanluo finished speaking, her red eyes lingered for a moment on the large bed beside her, which radiated a milky white glow.

Mu Zhian also looked over, as if he had remembered something, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.

Yuanluo smiled and changed the subject, saying, "I remember the last time you were being tested by Ye Qingxin, you seemed to dream that you were here with the Blue Clan sisters, right? Were you thinking of bringing them here to fulfill your previous dream and have a big party?"

She lightly touched her red lips with her fingertips, tilted her head slightly to look at Mu Zhian, and said with a smile, "But I didn't seem to be in your dream last time... Are you still thinking of dragging me into this again?"

"If you keep tempting me like this, I might really lose my temper and suppress you one day." Mu Zhian withdrew his gaze, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

I have to admit, this girl, Yuanluo... she, she is really too tempting.

She won't deliberately seduce you all the time, but she'll always manage to trigger your desires with a smile, a casual gesture, or some unintentional action.

And she always has an arrogant, disdainful expression.

Sometimes I really want to make her cry and see how she reacts...

Yuanluo chuckled and lazily withdrew her gaze: "If you don't mind the new Heavenly Dao being corrupted, you can give it a try. Anyway, this is the Heavenly Court, and you are the master, so you have the final say."

Clearly, the mind-reading ability instantly knew Mu Zhian's thoughts.

Seeing that Mu Zhian remained silent, Yuanluo glanced at him a few times, wanting to see what he was thinking at that moment.

However, this time, Yuanluo found that she couldn't figure out what Mu Zhian was thinking at all.

"Strange, why can't I suddenly see through your thoughts...?"

Yuanluo looked the boy over suspiciously, then quickly realized something and said with a smile, "Did you change the rules in the Heavenly Court?"

Mu Zhian shrugged and said, "After all, nobody wants to be constantly spied on about what they're thinking, right?"

Yuanluo scoffed and gave him a disdainful look: "If someone wasn't always thinking about doing bad things, why would they need to worry about me reading their mind?"

"Even if you don't intend to do anything bad, you can't expect to be mind-read all the time, right?" Mu Zhian glanced at him sideways as well.

"What's the big deal about me reading your mind?"

With graceful steps, Yuanluo walked up to Mu Zhian, her bright and beautiful red eyes filled with a playful glint. Her voice suddenly softened: "Mu Zhian, the only person you can trust in this world is me. It's okay if you tell me all your secrets... After all, we share the same fate."

Mu Zhian was about to say something more, but Yuanluo had already looked away:

"Alright, let's go deep into the Heavenly Palace together and take a look. I also want to know what's hidden there."

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already arrived deep within the Heavenly Court.

There, a celestial palace floats silently in the air.

Outside the Heavenly Palace, clouds and mist swirled, and there was not a sound.

Mu Zhian's gaze wandered around the Heavenly Palace.

The last time he came, he was only here to pass Ye Qingxin's test, so he didn't pay any attention to the Heavenly Palace. This time, however, Mu Zhian finally had the leisure to appreciate the stunning scenery of the Heavenly Palace.

And countless paper cranes filled the sky in this heavenly palace.

Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the Heavenly Palace, where a large green sandalwood gate gradually came into view.

Last time, when Mu Zhian was about to push open this door, Ye Qingxin's magic weapon shattered instantly, and Mu Zhian's spiritual energy at the Refining Spirit Realm was almost completely absorbed the moment he approached the door.

But this time... perhaps it's worth a try.

Mu Zhian reached out and slowly pushed open the Qingtan door.

However, he did not notice that almost the instant he pushed open the door, the faint smile that Yuanluo had been maintaining froze on her face, and she just stared blankly ahead.

……

In a quiet room.

Yao Meng wore a green dress, her long, black hair flowing smoothly.

She sat with her legs turned to the side on the soft couch, her fair and delicate feet faintly visible beneath her light gauze skirt. She leisurely flipped through the ancient book in her hands, her eyes seemingly filled with contemplation.

"What is Master looking at?"

Not far from her, Ye Qian had just opened her eyes from meditation. The girl had now fully grown up, with her long hair styled into twin ponytails that hung down on both sides. She wore a light green dress with a silk cardigan, which accentuated her full and firm breasts.

Her pure and charming temperament, paired with a pair of plump and rounded long legs under her skirt, added a touch of maturity to her youthful appearance.

She moved closer to Yao Meng and glanced at the ancient book in Yao Meng's hand, only to find that the book was stuck on the page about the descent of the Heavenly Dao after the fall of the dynasty.

"After the Heavenly Dao descends, all beings will be equal, and all living things will be bathed in its holy radiance... But at the same time, it will punish all those who violate the rules."

Yao Meng murmured to herself, "I was just wondering... why has the Heavenly Dao targeted only the Eastern Continent after descending several times? Is it simply because the Eastern Continent has more powerful beings than other forces?"

As far as the Heavenly Dao is concerned, no matter how powerful a great being is, it is impossible for it to shake its position in the Nine Provinces.

Of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, it also occupies the first position.

Is such a powerful Heavenly Dao targeting the Eastern Continent simply because there are more powerful beings in the Eastern Continent than in other places?

"Could it be that there is something in the Eastern Continent that even the Heavenly Dao fears?" Yao Meng murmured to herself, a hint of confusion appearing in her emerald green eyes for the first time.

Even now, the only way she can think of to defy the will of Heaven is to establish new forbidden zones and then gradually rewrite the rules within those zones, making those rules work for her.
