It turns out, they were the main characters.

At this moment, Mu Zhian suddenly remembered something, put his arms around her waist, and asked, "Speaking of which, do you have a good relationship with the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation? Ni Yan even cooperates with you."

The stiff body of Bodhisattva Miaoyi gradually relaxed, and her cold voice trembled slightly: "Generally speaking, she should have been forced by circumstances... The first Lord of Reincarnation made her anxious."

As she said this, a faint smile appeared on her face, as if she had thought of something: "If I had to say, the Western Regions and the Azure Emperor are still enemies. If the Azure Emperor knew that you were actually with her enemy..."

A faint smile curved the corners of the female bodhisattva's lips.

"I wonder what she will think."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Regardless of whether we were enemies before, at least now I have a cooperative relationship with the Western Regions."

"Also, if Yao Meng finds out, she won't say anything."

"But it's you."

Mu Zhian leaned on her shoulder and whispered, "What would happen if the believers in the Western Regions discovered our relationship...?"

He could almost clearly feel the delicate body of the woman in his arms tremble slightly, as if Mu Zhian's words had struck a nerve.

She opened her mouth slightly, about to lash out.

But at this moment, Mu Zhian seemed to have hit her weak spot and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no third person will find out. I will let you ascend to immortality... provided that the Western Regions will not betray me and the Eastern Continent when the Heavenly Dao descends."

"Furthermore, what happens between you and me will remain a secret."

As the room fell silent, Mu Zhian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Bodhisattva Miaoyi, you should have set up the shielding formation by now, right? I'm about to start transferring the spiritual energy of the furnace to you. It would be terrible if we were discovered."

"Of course, I know this most basic thing. If you continue to harass me, our agreement will be null and void, and I will no longer rely on your spiritual energy to ascend to immortality."

The woman Bodhisattva's tone remained cold and indifferent.

"Bodhisattva, you misunderstand. I was just doing this as a precaution, I didn't mean to flirt with you... By the way, why are you trembling? Is it because you're cold?"

"It's alright... Could you please keep quiet, Benefactor Mu? The shielding formation only blocks the aura inside, but some cultivators with higher cultivation levels can still hear the sounds."

The response remained indifferent.

Could you please move your hand away?

"You can transfer spiritual energy without moving it, can't you?" Bodhisattva Miaoyi held one hand to her chest, her eyes still indifferent, trying to maintain the dignity of a Bodhisattva from the Western Regions.

At this moment, Mu Zhian grasped her hand, and she intertwined her fingers with hers, looking at her with a gentle smile.

Although she was usually cold and aloof, the Bodhisattva Miaoyi, who had no romantic experience, blushed under his gaze. She bit her lip and turned her face away from him.

She was only trying to ascend to immortality, so she shouldn't have had any feelings for Mu Zhian. Why was she showing such shyness that only girls would have?

She felt a little lost, but then she suddenly felt a hand grab her foot.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi subconsciously looked down, only to see the young man holding one of her jade feet, playing with and kneading it. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she said, "Benefactor Mu... this has nothing to do with giving the furnace spiritual energy, does it?"

"Before you begin your cultivation, you circulate your spiritual energy through your body for a few cycles, right?" Mu Zhian countered.

Another implication of this statement is that a mini-game is necessary before the main event.

The female bodhisattva fell silent, but slowly, as she looked at the young man who was trying his best to 'please' her, her eyes gradually became somewhat hazy.

The spiritual energy from the furnace began to gradually flow into his body.

After a while, a hint of emotion appeared in the woman bodhisattva's originally cold eyes, and she couldn't help but bite her lip lightly, as if an indescribable excitement was welling up in her heart.

The excitement intensified when the thought of the Azure Emperor being in the next room became even stronger.

This feeling made Bodhisattva Miaoyi feel a little flustered.

Although it was for the purpose of ascension to immortality, the joy that welled up in her heart at this moment... was this really something that could be allowed for a Bodhisattva from the Western Regions?

Perhaps, from the very beginning, she was hoping for this to happen.

She initially rejected Mu Zhian's advances, but she didn't give him a firm rejection or keep her distance from him... Perhaps it was because she also harbored a sliver of hope.

I hope this child won't give up because of this, but will be able to pursue themselves again...

Then, together with her, we did more and more wrong things.

……

Forbidden Zone of Reincarnation.

In a quiet, secluded room, Ni Yan, the Lord of Reincarnation, slowly opened her eyes from meditation.

"Have you heard anything from the teacher?" she asked the spy who had just entered the secret room not long ago.

The spy respectfully replied, "There's been no movement from the First Lord of Reincarnation for the time being, but yesterday someone saw his disciple enter from the east side of the forbidden area. It seems he secretly left the Reincarnation Forbidden Area and went somewhere."

"Oh? What would a mere girl in the Void Returning Realm do if the teacher secretly sent her out...?"

Ni Yan toyed with a strand of hair between her fingers, then quickly chuckled and said, "Alright, since there's no news from the teacher for the time being, we can bring Mu Zhi'an back first."

The woman straightened her back slightly as she played with a glass ball in her hand that looked to be only the size of a palm.

On the surface of the sphere, eddies slowly rotate, exuding an ancient aura.

“You can go and prepare for the Eastern Continent’s national fortune that you obtained earlier. We can now complete this transaction with the Western Regions,” Ni Yan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

After speaking, the spy seemed to remember something and hesitated, then asked, "What about Lady Isis...?"

Ni Yan chuckled softly, her slender, red-manicured fingertips gently touching her alluring red lips, her voice laced with a wet, seductive charm: "What's the rush? Let me savor that child's natural furnace first, then it won't be too late to hand him over to Isis."

"Go and bring the person here. Remember, don't let my teacher find out."

She raised her hand to signal the secret agents to leave, then closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

It has to be said that even without the forbidden artifact of reincarnation, her teacher was still incredibly troublesome, and even with Isis's help, it was difficult to deal with that old man.

This is unavoidable. The rules of the Reincarnation Forbidden Land only apply to Ni Yan. Isis is at the Feathered Realm in the Immortal Forbidden Land, but outside of the Immortal Forbidden Land, she is merely a Dao Integration Realm expert bound by the rules. To eliminate the teacher, both she and Isis must truly ascend to immortality.

Fortunately, a war cannot be decided in one or two months. After capturing Mu Zhian, as long as he serves him and Isis well... ascending to immortality is only a matter of time.

I've heard that the young man has an affair with the Azure Emperor, is Bai Ruoxi's Daoist partner, and also has an ambiguous relationship with that alluring demon queen...

Ha, it's obvious he's a womanizer.

She used to like Mu Zhian quite a bit, but now... she likes him even more?

After all, the men who were favored by so many powerful figures ultimately succumbed to her charms... Isn't that exciting to think about?

Moreover, this child is handsome and fair-skinned. If Heaven were to descend and cleanse the Nine Provinces in the future, and he were still alive, we could keep him by our side as a servant.

Ni Yan twirled a strand of hair at her temple, casually twisting it with her fingers, but a sweet smile curved her lips: "I really can't wait."

Buddhist temple.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi removed her white robes and soaked in the bathtub.

It was late at night, and there was only one candle in the room. The dim light added a touch of warmth. She closed her eyes slightly, as if the coldness on her face was melting away in the warm water.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi raised her head and looked at the misty water in the bathtub, then slowly exhaled.

After this dual cultivation, she was able to truly feel just how wonderful the spiritual energy of the innate furnace was.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe.

It felt like ascending to heaven.

Since Bodhisattva Miaoyi resonated with the heavens and attained enlightenment, she became one of the Bodhisattvas of the Western Regions and was respected by the world.

But at the same time, she was also as if she were covered by an invisible net, bound by rules, and her realm could no longer advance even a little bit.

However, after this dual cultivation, she seemed to have a feeling... that the invisible net that enveloped her was being gradually devoured by the spiritual energy of the furnace that Mu Zhian had injected.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi was not proficient in the art of divination, but she was almost certain that as long as this continued for a period of time, when the 'net' that restricted her was completely devoured, that would be the day she ascended to heaven.

"I never expected that we would end up taking a different path."

Bodhisattva Miaoyi looked up at the hazy mist and couldn't help but sigh softly.

She knew that her state of mind had been fluctuating ever since she learned about the innate furnace.

It wasn't that obvious back then.

However, upon learning the fact that the Heavenly Dao was about to descend, and also knowing that Manjushri Bodhisattva wanted all sentient beings' vows to be gathered into his body, he realized that the Heavenly Dao was about to descend.

She was left with only two paths: either compete with Manjushri for the power of sentient beings' vows in the end, or give up and take another path.

The result was obvious: she chose another path—ascension to immortality.

The images of her and Mu Zhian in the meditation room flashed through her mind again, and a blush quickly spread across Miaoyi Bodhisattva's face.

She lay quietly in the bathtub, absorbing the spiritual energy that Mu Zhian had recently given her into her own cauldron.

Just then, a very polite knock came from outside the door.

"Hello, may I come in?"

The voice sounded clear and pleasant; it was a girl's voice.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi gave a simple "hmm," and then saw a silver-haired loli push open the door and enter, her innocent red eyes curiously observing her.

"Who are you?" Bodhisattva Miaoyi asked, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

Even with the blessing of the Western Regions rules, she still couldn't see through the loli's cultivation level at all... Even the most powerful shielding artifact couldn't achieve this.

Therefore, it can only mean that the other party's level of attainment is similar to hers, or even stronger.

Looking at the cold gaze of Bodhisattva Miaoyi, the silver-haired loli raised her head and said with a smile, "Yuanluo, you should have heard of my name."

"New Heavenly Way?"

Miao Yi Bodhisattva's beautiful eyes flickered slightly: "Did he send you?"

“Yes, otherwise why would I have come to disturb the Bodhisattva’s loving time with him?” Yuanluo said with a light smile.

"You must have heard it from him, right? To ascend to immortality, one must reunite with the Dao. The three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man are currently unable to accept any cultivator's ascension, but I can."

Her words were gentle and persuasive, yet those innocent and carefree red eyes stared intently at Bodhisattva Miaoyi, filled with sincerity.

The female bodhisattva was somewhat puzzled: "After ascending to immortality, one is no longer bound by the rules of heaven and earth, nor controlled by the Heavenly Dao... Why don't you mind cultivators ascending to immortality?"

With her hands behind her back, Yuanlu walked around the bathtub, her gaze lingering on the woman's fair and delicate skin. She could vaguely see many hickeys on her neck, shoulders, and collarbone, and some of them even had slight scratches.

"That guy really doesn't know how to cherish women," Yuanluo said with a smile.
